See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2003, has been derived from the audited balance sheet of the Company as of that date. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and real estate owned and valuation of mortgage servicing rights. Management believes that these allowances and valuations are adequate. However, future additions to the allowances and changes in the valuations may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. The Company's critical accounting policies involving the more significant judgements and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003, have remained unchanged from September 30, 2003. These policies are provision for loan losses and mortgage servicing rights. Disclosure of these critical accounting policies is incorporated by reference under Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's year ended September 30, 2003. Certain quarterly amounts for previous periods have been reclassified to conform to the current quarter's presentation.

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, management believes the declines in fair value of these securities are temporary. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced, and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other- than-temporary impairment is identified.

(9) SEGMENT INFORMATION In accordance with SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," the Company has identified two principal operating segments for purposes of financial reporting: Banking and Mortgage Banking. These segments were determined based on the Company's internal financial accounting and reporting processes and are consistent with the information that is used to make operating decisions and to assess the Company's performance by the Company's key decision makers. The Mortgage Banking segment originates mortgage loans for sale to investors and for the portfolio of the Banking segment. The Banking segment provides a full range of banking services through the Bank's branch network, exclusive of mortgage loan originations. A portion of the income presented in the Mortgage Banking segment is derived from sales of loans to the Banking segment based on a transfer pricing methodology that is designed to approximate economic reality. The Other and Eliminations segment includes financial information from the parent company plus inter-segment eliminations. 9 The following table presents financial information from the Company's operating segments for the periods indicated. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

Pursuant to a definitive agreement dated September 5, 2002, CBES was acquired by a wholly owned subsidiary of NASB Financial, Inc. formed solely to facilitate the transaction. The agreement provided that upon the effective date of the acquisition, each shareholder of CBES would receive $17.50 in cash for each share of CBES common stock owned by such shareholder. The aggregate purchase price was $15.6 million. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

The $1.8 million of goodwill was assigned entirely to the banking segment of the business. 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. GENERAL The principal business of the Company is to provide banking services through the Bank. Specifically, the Bank obtains savings and checking deposits from the public, then uses those funds to originate and purchase real estate loans and other loans. The Bank also purchases mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and other investment securities from time to time as conditions warrant. In addition to customer deposits, the Bank obtains funds from the sale of loans held-for-sale, the sale of securities available-for-sale, repayments of existing mortgage assets, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). The Bank's primary sources of income are interest on loans, MBS, and investment securities plus customer service fees and income from mortgage banking activities. Expenses consist primarily of interest payments on customer deposits and other borrowings and general and administrative costs. The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and is subject to periodic examination by both entities. The Bank is also subject to the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB"), which establishes rules regarding reserves that must be maintained against customer deposits. FINANCIAL CONDITION ASSETS The Company's total assets as of December 31, 2003, were $1,217.4 million, an increase of $110.0 million from September 30, 2003, the prior fiscal year end. $93.2 million of this increase was due to the purchase of mortgage-backed securities which were financed primarily with repurchase agreements. As the Bank originates mortgage loans each month, management evaluates the existing market conditions to determine which loans will be held in the Bank's portfolio and which loans will be sold in the secondary market. Loans sold in the secondary market can be sold with servicing released or converted into MBS and sold with the loan servicing retained by the Bank. At the time of each loan commitment, a decision is made to either hold the loan for investment, hold it for sale with servicing retained, or hold it for sale with servicing released. Management monitors market conditions to decide whether loans should be held in portfolio or sold and if sold, which method of sale is appropriate. During the three months ended December 31, 2003, the Bank originated and purchased $127.6 million in mortgage loans held for sale, $147.4 million in mortgage loans held for investment, and $2.2 million in other loans. This total of $277.2 million in loans originated compares to $434.6 million in loans originated during the three months ended December 31, 2002. Included in the $183.8 million in loans held for sale as of December 31, 2003, are $42.3 million in mortgage loans held for sale with servicing released. All loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The Bank classifies problem assets as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses, and it is possible that the Bank will sustain some loss unless the deficiencies are corrected. Doubtful assets have the same defects as substandard assets plus other weaknesses that make collection or full liquidation improbable. Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that a specific loss allowance is warranted. The following table summarizes the Bank's classified assets as reported to the OTS, plus any classified assets of the holding company. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. 12/31/03 9/30/03 12/31/02 ------------------------------------- Asset Classification: Substandard $ 14,927 15,932 16,537 Doubtful -- -- -- Loss 2,243 2,325 2,979 ------------------------------------- 17,170 18,257 19,516 Allowance for losses (9,402) (9,348) (9,377) ------------------------------------- $ 7,768 8,909 10,139 ===================================== 11 The following table summarizes non-performing assets, troubled debt restructurings, and real estate acquired through foreclosure or in- substance foreclosure. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. 12/31/03 9/30/03 12/31/02 ---------------------------------------- Total Assets $ 1,217,396 1,107,359 1,106,750 ======================================== Non-accrual loans $ 6,920 6,924 7,861 Troubled debt restructurings 3,549 3,565 4,013 Net real estate and other assets acquired through foreclosure 3,799 4,561 5,821 ---------------------------------------- Total $ 14,268 15,050 17,695 ======================================== Percent of total assets 1.17% 1.36% 1.60% ======================================== Management records a provision for loan losses in amounts sufficient to cover current net charge-offs and an estimate of probable losses based on an analysis of risks that management believes to be inherent in the loan portfolio. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses ("ALLL") recognizes the inherent risks associated with lending activities but, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets but to a homogenous pool of loans. Management believes that the specific loss allowances and ALLL are adequate. While management uses available information to determine these allowances, future allowances may be necessary because of changes in economic conditions. Also, regulatory agencies (OTS and FDIC) review the Bank's allowance for losses as part of their examinations, and they may require the Bank to recognize additional loss provisions based on the information available at the time of their examinations. The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ending December 31, 2003, and 2002. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. 2003 2002 ------------------------- Balance at beginning of year $ 7,986 5,865 Provision for loan losses -- 18 Acquired in merger -- 1,309 Recoveries 8 6 Charge-offs (22) (41) ------------------------- Balance at December 31 $ 7,972 7,157 ========================== LIABILITIES AND EQUITY Customer deposit accounts decreased $1.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2003. The weighted average rate on customer deposits as of December 31, 2003, was 2.07%, a decrease from 2.52% as of December 31, 2002. Advances from the FHLB were $336.0 million as of December 31, 2003, an increase of $27.9 million from September 30, 2003. During the three- month period, the Bank borrowed $143.0 million of new advances and repaid $115.1 million. Management uses FHLB advances at various times as an alternate funding source to provide operating liquidity and to fund the origination and purchase of mortgage loans. During the three months ended December 31, 2003, the Bank financed the purchase of mortgage-backed securities primarily with repurchase agreements. A total of $85.0 million of mortgage-backed securities were sold under agreements to repurchase. Escrows were $3.9 million as of December 31, 2003, a decrease of $4.4 million from September 30, 2003. This decrease is due to amounts paid for borrowers' taxes during the fourth calendar quarter of 2003. 12 Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2003, was $126.1 million (10.4% of total assets). This compares to $127.4 million (11.5% of total assets) at September 30, 2003. On a per share basis, stockholders' equity was $14.92 on December 31, 2003, compared to $15.09 on September 30, 2003. The Company paid cash dividends on its common stock of $0.85 on November 28, 2003. Subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 2003, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.20 per share to be paid on February 27, 2004, to stockholders of record as of February 6, 2004. Total stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2003, includes an unrealized gain of $198,000, net of deferred income taxes, on available for sale securities. This amount is reflected in the line item "Accumulated other comprehensive income." RATIOS The following table illustrates the Company's return on assets (annualized net income divided by average total assets); return on equity (annualized net income divided by average total equity); equity- to-assets ratio (ending total equity divided by ending total assets); and dividend payout ratio (dividends paid divided by net income). Three months ended ------------------------ 12/31/03 12/31/02 ------------------------ Return on assets 1.98% 1.94% Return on equity 18.12% 18.16% Equity-to-assets ratio 10.38% 10.23% Dividend payout ratio 125.12% 25.00% RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. For the three months ended December 31, 2003, the Company had net income of $5,744,000 or $0.68 per share. This compares to net income of $5,055,000 or $0.60 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. NET INTEREST MARGIN The Company's net interest margin is comprised of the difference ("spread") between interest income on loans, mortgage-backed securities and investments and the interest cost of customer deposits and other borrowings. Management monitors net interest spreads and, although constrained by certain market, economic, and competition factors, it establishes loan rates and customer deposit rates that maximize net interest margin. The following table presents the total dollar amounts of interest income and expense on the indicated amounts of average interest-earning assets or interest-costing liabilities for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Average yields reflect reductions due to non-accrual loans. Once a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, any interest that has accrued up to that time is reserved and no further interest income is recognized unless the loan is paid current. Average balances and weighted average yields for the periods include all accrual and non- accrual loans. The table also presents the interest-earning assets and yields for each respective period. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. 13 Three months ended 12/31/03 As of --------------------------- 12/31/03 Average Yield/ Yield/ Balance Interest Rate Rate ------------------------------------- Interest-earning assets Loans $ 1,018,443 16,512 6.49% 6.17% Mortgage-backed securities 75,811 766 4.04% 4.98% Securities 20,619 190 3.69% 3.53% Bank deposits 18,469 26 0.56% 0.55% -------------------------------------- Total earning assets 1,133,342 17,494 6.18% 5.96% --------------------------- Non-earning assets 37,523 ---------- Total $ 1,170,865 ========== Interest-costing liabilities Customer checking and savings deposit accounts $ 208,095 394 0.76% 0.68% Customer certificates of deposit 448,779 2,875 2.56% 2.70% FHLB advances 310,772 1,148 1.48% 1.55% Repurchase agreements 63,750 195 1.22% 1.23% -------------------------------------- Total costing liabilities 1,031,396 4,612 1.79% 1.84% --------------------------- Non-costing liabilities 12,683 Stockholders' equity 126,786 ---------- Total $ 1,170,865 ========== Net earning balance $ 101,946 ========== Earning yield less costing rate 4.39% 4.12% ================ Average interest-earning assets, net interest, and net yield spread on average interest- earning assets $ 1,133,342 12,882 4.55% ============================ Three months ended 12/31/02 As of --------------------------- 12/31/02 Average Yield/ Yield/ Balance Interest Rate Rate ------------------------------------- Interest-earning assets Loans $ 926,802 17,730 7.65% 7.02% Mortgage-backed securities 5,382 89 6.61% 6.33% Securities 28,678 270 3.77% 4.19% Bank deposits 10,576 27 1.02% 0.81% ------------------------------------- Total earning assets 971,438 18,116 7.46% 6.93% --------------------------- Non-earning assets 26,846 --------- Total $ 998,284 ========= Interest-costing liabilities Customer checking and savings deposit accounts $ 181,501 533 1.17% 1.13% Customer certificates of deposit 365,333 3,031 3.32% 3.23% FHLB advances 312,813 2,801 3.58% 3.30% Repurchase agreements -- -- --% -- ------------------------------------- Total costing liabilities 859,647 6,365 2.96% 2.80% --------------------------- Non-costing liabilities 31,358 Stockholders' equity 107,279 --------- Total $ 998,284 ========= Net earning balance $ 111,791 ========= Earning yield less costing rate 4.50% 4.13% ================ Average interest-earning assets, net interest, and net yield spread on average interest- earning assets $ 971,438 11,751 4.84% =========================== The following table provides information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense. For each category of interest- earning asset and interest-costing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by the old rate), (2) changes in rates (change in rate multiplied by the old volume), and (3) changes in rate and volume (change in rate multiplied by the change in volume). Average balances, yields and rates used in the preparation of this analysis come from the preceding table. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. Three months ended December 31, 2003, compared to three months ended December 31, 2002 ----------------------------------------------- Yield/ Yield Volume Volume Total ----------------------------------------------- Components of interest income: Loans $ (2,688) 1,753 (283) (1,218) Mortgage-backed securities (35) 1,164 (452) 677 Securities (6) (76) 2 (80) Bank deposits (12) 21 (10) (1) ----------------------------------------------- Net change in interest income (2,741) 2,862 (743) (622) ----------------------------------------------- Components of interest expense: Customer deposit accounts (848) 718 (165) (295) FHLB advances (1,642) (18) 7 (1,653) Repurchase agreements -- -- 195 195 ----------------------------------------------- Net change in interest expense (2,490) 700 37 (1,753) ----------------------------------------------- Increase in net interest margin $ (251) 2,162 (780) 1,131 =============================================== 14 Net interest margin before loan loss provision for the three months ended December 31, 2003, increased $1.1 million from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, total interest expense decreased $1.8 million due to a decrease in the interest rate cost of those liabilities of 1.2%. This was partially offset by a decrease in total interest income of $622,000 from the same period in the prior year. A decrease in interest income of $2.7 million resulted from a 128 basis point decrease in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, which was largely offset by $161.9 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company recorded no provision for loan losses during the quarter ended December 31, 2003. A provision of $18,000 was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Management performs an ongoing analysis of individual loans and of homogenous pools of loans to assess for any impairment. On a consolidated basis, the allowance for loan and real estate owned losses was 54.8% of total classified assets at December 31, 2003, 51.2% at September 30, 2003, and 48.0% at December 31, 2002. As stated above, management believes that the provisions for loan losses is adequate. The provision can fluctuate based on changes in economic conditions or changes in the information available to management. Also, regulatory agencies review the Company's allowances for losses as a part of their examination process and they may require changes in loss provision amounts based on information available at the time of their examination. OTHER INCOME Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2003, increased $1.2 million from the same period in the prior year. Provision for loss on real estate owned decreased $1.2 million to a reserve recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2002, on a hotel property in the Southeast area of Kansas City, Missouri. This property was subsequently sold in April 2003. Net loan servicing fees increased $951,000 due to a decrease in the amortization of capitalized servicing. Other income increased $710,000 due to an increase in loan prepayment penalties and the effect of recording the net fair value of certain loan-related commitments in accordance with FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." These increases in other income were offset by a $1.4 million decrease in gain on sale of loans held for sale due to a decrease in mortgage banking volume. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2003, increased $1.4 million from the same period in the prior year. Specifically, compensation and fringe benefits increased $1.2 million due primarily to the addition of an internet loan origination office and the acquisition of CBES Bancorp, Inc. on December 19, 2002. The number of full time equivalent employees increased from 307 at December 31, 2002, to 388 at December 31, 2003. The increase compensation and fringe benefits was partially offset by a decrease of $270,000 in commission-based mortgage banking compensation due to a decrease in mortgage banking volume. Advertising increased $111,000, premises and equipment expense increased $151,000, and other expenses increased $227,000 due primarily to the addition of the internet loan origination office and the acquisition of CBES Bancorp, Inc. 15 REGULATION The Bank is a member of the FHLB System and its customers' deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. The Bank is subject to regulation by the OTS as its chartering authority. Since passage of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA" or the "Act"), the FDIC also has regulatory control over the Bank. The transactions of SAIF-insured institutions are limited by statute and regulations that may require prior supervisory approval in certain instances. Institutions also must file reports with regulatory agencies regarding their activities and their financial condition. The OTS and FDIC make periodic examinations of the Bank to test compliance with the various regulatory requirements. The OTS can require an institution to re-value its assets based on appraisals and to establish specific valuation allowances. This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors. Also, savings institutions are subject to certain reserve requirements under Federal Reserve Board regulations. INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS The SAIF insures the Bank's customer deposit accounts to a maximum of $100,000 for each insured member. Deposit insurance premiums are determined using a Risk-Related Premium Schedule ("RRPS"), a matrix which places each insured institution into one of three capital groups and one of three supervisory groups. Currently, deposit insurance premiums range from 0 to 27 basis points of the institution's total deposit accounts, depending on the institution's risk classification. The Bank is currently considered "well capitalized", which is the most favorable capital group and supervisory subgroup. SAIF-insured institutions are also assessed a premium to service the interest on Financing Corporation ("FICO") debt. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS At December 31, 2003, the Bank exceeds all capital requirements prescribed by the OTS. To calculate these requirements, a thrift must deduct any investments in and loans to subsidiaries that are engaged in activities not permissible for a national bank. As of December 31, 2003, the Bank did not have any investments in or loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for national banks. The following tables summarize the relationship between the Bank's capital and regulatory requirements. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands. At December 31, 2003 Amount ---------------------------------------------------------------- GAAP capital (Bank only) $ 118,953 Adjustment for regulatory capital: Intangible assets (3,246) Disallowed portion of servicing assets and deferred tax assets (4,538) Reverse the effect of SFAS No. 115 (198) --------- Tangible capital 110,971 Qualifying intangible assets -- --------- Tier 1 capital (core capital) 110,971 Qualifying general valuation allowance 6,073 --------- Risk-based capital $ 117,044 ========= As of December 31, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Minimum required for Minimum required to be Actual Capital Adequacy "Well Capitalized" ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- Total capital to risk-weighted assets $ 117,044 12.4% $ 75,751 >=8% $ 94,689 >=10% Core capital to adjusted tangible assets 110,971 9.2% 48,121 >=4% 60,151 >=5% Tangible capital to tangible assets 110,971 9.2% 18,045 >=1.5% -- -- Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 110,971 11.7% -- -- 56,813 >=6% 16 LOANS TO ONE BORROWER Institutions are prohibited from lending to any one borrower in excess of 15% of the Bank's unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus, or 25% of unimpaired capital plus unimpaired surplus if the loan is secured by certain readily marketable collateral. Renewals that exceed the loans-to-one-borrower limit are permitted if the original borrower remains liable and no additional funds are disbursed. As of December 31, 2003, the Bank had no loans that exceeded the loans to one borrower limit. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity measures the ability to meet deposit withdrawals and lending commitments. The Bank generates liquidity primarily from the sale and repayment of loans, retention or newly acquired retail deposits, and advances from FHLB of Des Moines' credit facility. Management continues to use FHLB advances as a primary source of short- term funding. At December 31, 2003, there was $82.3 million available to the Bank in the form of FHLB advances. The Bank has established relationships with various brokers, and, as a secondary source of liquidity, the Bank may purchase brokered deposit accounts. Although the Bank does not have any brokered deposits at December 31, 2003, it could purchase up to $223.6 million and remain "well capitalized" as defined by the OTS. Fluctuations in the level of interest rates typically impact prepayments on mortgage loans and MBS. During periods of falling interest rates, these prepayments increase and a greater demand exists for new loans. The Bank's customer deposits are partially impacted by area competition. Management believes that the Bank will retain most of its maturing time deposits in the foreseeable future. However, any material funding needs that may arise in the future can be reasonably satisfied through the use of additional FHLB advances and/or brokered deposits. Management is not aware of any other current market or economic conditions that could materially impact the Bank's future ability to meet obligations as they come due. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk For a complete discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies, as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Company's portfolio, see the "Asset/Liability Management" section of the Company's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2003. Management recognizes that there are certain market risk factors present in the structure of the Bank's financial assets and liabilities. Since the Bank does not have material amounts of derivative securities, equity securities, or foreign currency positions, interest rate risk ("IRR") is the primary market risk that is inherent in the Bank's portfolio. On a quarterly basis, the Bank monitors the estimate of changes that would potentially occur to its net portfolio value ("NPV") of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items assuming a sudden change in market interest rates. Management presents a NPV analysis to the Board of Directors each quarter and NPV policy limits are reviewed and approved. There have been no material changes in the market risk information provided in the Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2003. Item 4. Controls and Procedures An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") within the 90-day period preceding the filing date of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. Since the date of this evaluation, there have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls. 17 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, a class of plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the Bank and eleven other financial institution defendants in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri. The suit alleged that all the defendants, including the Bank, who had charged fees to their customers for the preparation of mortgage documents had engaged in the practice of law without a license. The Bank was dismissed as a defendant early in this case on the basis that, as a federally chartered institution, federal law preempts state law with regard to the action. This case continues with regard to other defendants and, although North American was named in the plaintiff's amended petitions, the Bank was dismissed each time on the basis of federal preemption. Management believes that the Bank will also prevail in any subsequent appeal. There were no other material proceedings pending other than ordinary and routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company. Item 2. Changes in Securities None. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None Item 5. Other Information None. Item 6.
