                          FIRST COLORADO BANCORP, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated  financial  statements include
   the  accounts of First  Colorado  Bancorp,  Inc.  (FCB) and its wholly  owned
   subsidiary,  First Federal Bank of Colorado  (formerly  First Federal Savings
   Bank of  Colorado).  The  accounts of First  Federal  Bank of Colorado  (FFB)
   include  its  three  wholly  owned  subsidiaries,  First  Savings  Investment
   Corporation  (FSIC),  First  Savings  Insurance  Services  (FSIS),  and First
   Savings Securities Corporation (FSSC) (collectively,  the Bank). All entities
   together  are  collectively  referred  to as  the  Company.  All  significant
   intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   The Company is a Colorado  stock  corporation  organized in September 1995 to
   facilitate  the  conversion of the Bank's  holding  company  (formerly  First
   Savings  Capital,  M.H.C.) from the mutual to stock form of ownership  and to
   acquire and hold all of the capital stock of the Bank. In connection with the
   conversion,  First Savings Capital, M.H.C., which had owned 66% of the Bank's
   common stock,  was merged with and into the Bank,  and its shares of the Bank
   were canceled.  On December 29, 1995, the Company issued  6,619,539 shares of
   its common stock for all of the remaining outstanding shares of the Bank, and
   issued and sold  13,403,798  shares of its common  stock at a price of $10.00
   per share. In 1995, the Company engaged in no significant  business  activity
   other than its ownership of the Bank's common stock.

2. Basis of Presentation - The Consolidated  Statement of Financial Condition as
   of June 30, 1996, the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and
   six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Consolidated Statement of
   Stockholders'  Equity for the six month period  ended June 30, 1996,  and the
   Consolidated  Statements  of Cash Flows for the six month  periods ended June
   30, 1996 and 1995,  have been  prepared by the Company,  without  audit,  and
   therefore do not include  information  or footnotes  necessary for a complete
   presentation of consolidated financial condition,  results of operations, and
   cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. It is
   suggested that these Consolidated Financial Statements be read in conjunction
   with the December 31, 1995 Financial  Statements  and notes thereto  included
   with the Company's Annual Report. However, in the opinion of management,  all
   adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary for the
   fair  presentation  of  the  consolidated   financial  statements  have  been
   included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
   June 30, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  which may be
   expected for the entire year or for any other period.

3. Earnings per Share - Earnings  per share for the three and six month  periods
   ended  June 30,  1996 was  calculated  based on the  number of fully  diluted
   shares at period end. Stock options are regarded as common stock  equivalents
   computed  using the Treasury  Stock method.  Shares  acquired by the Employee
   Stock Benefit Plan (ESOP) are not  considered in the weighted  average shares
   outstanding  until  shares are  committed  to be released  to the  employees'
   individual account or have been earned.

   Earnings  per share for the three and six month  periods  ended June 30, 1995
   was  not  meaningful  due  to the  conversion  and  reorganization  effective
   December 29, 1995.

   See Exhibit 11.

4. Dividends - On June 19, 1996,  the Company  declared an  8.0(cent)  per share
   cash dividend on the Company's common stock to shareholders of record on July
   5, 1996. The cash dividend was paid on July 19, 1996.

5. Recent  Accounting  Pronouncements  -  Effective  January 1,  1995,  the Bank
   adopted  FASB   Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  Nos.  114,
   "Accounting  by Creditors for  Impairment of a Loan" and 118,  "Accounting by
   Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." The
   provisions of these statements are applicable to all loans,  uncollateralized
   as well  as  collateralized,  except  for  large  groups  of  smaller-balance
   homogeneous  loans that are  collectively  evaluated for impairment and loans
   that  are  measured  at fair  value or at the  lower  of cost or fair  value.
   Additionally,  such  provisions  apply to all loans that are  renegotiated in
   troubled debt restructurings involving a modification of terms.

   Statement  No. 114  requires  that  impaired  loans be measured  based on the
   present  value  of  expected  future  cash  flows  discounted  at the  loan's
   effective  interest  rate  or,  as  a  practical  expedient,  at  the  loan's
   observable  market price or the fair value of the  collateral  if the loan is
   collateral  dependent,  except that loans  renegotiated as part of a troubled
   debt  restructuring  subsequent to the adoption of Statement Nos. 114 and 118
   must be measured for impairment by  discounting  the total expected cash flow
   under the renegotiated terms at each loan's original effective interest rate.

   A loan evaluated for impairment pursuant to Statement No. 114 is deemed to be
   impaired when, based on current  information and events,  it is probable that
   the  Bank  will be  unable  to  collect  all  amounts  due  according  to the
   contractual  terms of the loan  agreement.  An  insignificant  payment delay,
   which is defined by the Bank as up to ninety  days,  will not cause a loan to
   be classified as impaired.  A loan is not impaired during the period of delay
   in payment if the Bank expects to collect all amounts due, including interest
   accrued at the  contractual  interest  rate for the period of delay.  Thus, a
   demand loan or other loan with no stated maturity is not impaired if the Bank
   expects  to  collect  all  amounts  due,  including  interest  accrued at the
   contractual  interest rate,  during the period the loan is  outstanding.  All
   loans identified as impaired are evaluated  independently.  The Bank does not
   aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes.

   The adoption of Statement Nos. 114 and 118 did not have a material  adverse
   impact on the Company's financial condition or operations.

   Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting for
   the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
   Of". This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain  identifiable
   intangibles  to be held and used by an  entity  be  reviewed  for  impairment
   whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
   of an asset may not be recoverable.  Adoption of this statement has not had a
   significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.

   Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122,  "Accounting for
   Mortgage Servicing  Rights".  This statement requires that a mortgage banking
   enterprise  recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for
   others, regardless of how those servicing rights are acquired. An entity that
   sells or securitizes  mortgage loans with servicing  rights  retained  should
   allocate  the total  cost of the  mortgage  loans to the  mortgage  servicing
   rights and the loans (without the mortgage  servicing  rights) based on their
   relative fair values. As of June 30, 1996, adoption of this statement has not
   had a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.

   SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation",  was issued by the
   FASB in October  1995.  It  establishes  financial  accounting  and reporting
   standards for stock-based employee compensation plans as well as transactions
   in which an entity issues its equity instruments to acquire goods or services
   from  non-employees.  This  statement  defines a fair value  based  method of
   accounting for employee stock option or similar equity  instrument.  However,
   it also  allows an entity to continue  to measure  compensation  cost for its
   employee stock  compensation  plans using the intrinsic value based method of
   accounting  prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
   Employees".  Entities  electing to remain with the  accounting in APB Opinion
   No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share
   as if the fair value based method accounting defined by SFAS No. 123 had been
   applied. SFAS No. 123 is applicable to fiscal year 1996. The Company does not
   currently expect to adopt the accounting prescribed by SFAS No. 123; however,
   the Company will include the  disclosures  required by SFAS No. 123 in future
   consolidated financial statements.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


First Colorado Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a Colorado corporation organized
in  September  1995 at the  direction  of the  Board of  Directors  of the First
Federal Bank of Colorado  (the "Bank") to  facilitate  the  conversion  of First
Savings Capital,  M.H.C. (the "Mutual Holding Company") from the mutual to stock
form of ownership  and to acquire and hold all of the capital  stock of the Bank
(collectively,  the "Conversion and Reorganization").  Prior to the consummation
of the  Conversion  and  Reorganization,  the  Mutual  Holding  Company  was the
majority  stockholder  of the Bank and upon  consummation  of the Conversion and
Reorganization,  the Mutual  Holding  Company was merged with and into the Bank.
The Company acquired the Bank as a wholly owned subsidiary upon the consummation
of the Conversion and  Reorganization  on December 29, 1995. In connection  with
the Conversion and  Reorganization,  the Company sold  13,403,798  shares of its
common stock to the public in an initial public offering ("Offering") and issued
6,619,539  shares in  exchange  for the  outstanding  shares of the Bank held by
persons other than the Mutual Holding Company. Stockholders' equity increased by
$117.5 million as a result of the Conversion and Reorganization.

The primary activity of the Company is holding the common stock of the Bank. The
Company is therefore a unitary savings and loan holding company. The Company has
no significant  assets other than all of the  outstanding  shares of Bank Common
Stock, a note evidencing the Company's $13.4 million loan to the Bank's Employee
Stock  Ownership  Plan  ("ESOP")  and the portion of the net  proceeds  from the
Offerings  retained  by the  Company,  which are  currently  invested in a $51.6
million loan to the Bank and in deposits in the Bank. All intercompany  accounts
have been eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Since the Conversion and  Reorganization was completed on December 29, 1995, the
consolidated  results of  operations  for the three and six month  periods ended
June 30, 1996 are for the Company while the  consolidated  results of operations
for the three and six month  periods  ended June 30, 1995 are for the Bank.  Any
references  to the  consolidated  results of  operations  will,  by  definition,
incorporate that distinction.

                  COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT
                   JUNE 30, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995

The total assets of the Company increased $19.0 million,  or 1.3%, from $1,482.3
million at December 31, 1995 to $1,501.3 million at June 30, 1996. This increase
is due primarily to an increase in loans  receivable of $68.0 million,  or 7.3%.
Investment  securities also increased,  from $78.8 million at December 31, 1995,
to $93.0 million at June 30, 1996, an increase of $14.2 million,  or 18.1%, as a
result of the  Company's  decision to utilize some of the  offering  proceeds to
increase  its  investment  portfolio.  Mortgage-backed  and  other  asset-backed
securities  increased  slightly,  from $310.9  million at  December  31, 1995 to
$311.7  million at June 30,  1996,  an increase of $0.8  million,  or 0.3%.  The
funding for these  increases  came  primarily  from Federal funds sold and other
interest-earning  assets,  which decreased $63.0 million,  or 72.7%,  from $86.6
million at December 31, 1995 to $23.6 million at June 30, 1996.

As of June 30, 1996,  non-performing  assets  totaled $3.6  million,  or 0.2% of
total  assets,  as  compared  to $4.0  million,  or 0.3% of total  assets  as of
December 31, 1995.

The increase in liabilities  primarily occurred in the deposit portfolio,  which
increased $23.1 million, or 2.1%, from $1,080.3 million at December 31, 1995, to
$1,103.4  million at June 30, 1996.  Total  advances  from the Federal Home Loan
Bank decreased by $6.2 million,  or 4.9%, from $125.7 million as of December 31,
1995, to $119.5 million as of June 30, 1996.

Stockholders'  equity  increased $6.3 million,  primarily due to net earnings of
$9.3  million  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996,  offset by  dividends
declared totaling $3.1 million.

                 COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE
                THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

GENERAL.  Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 1996  increased  $1.9
million,  or 62.6%, to $4.9 million from $3.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995.  The increase  was  primarily  due to an increase in net interest
income,  offset by an increase in noninterest  expense. The substantial increase
in net interest  income can be attributed  primarily to the increase in capital,
as the proceeds from the  Conversion  and  Reorganization  increased the average
balance of interest-earning assets.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased $3.8 million,  or 44.5%, from
$8.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $12.2 million during
the three months  ended June 30, 1996.  This  increase was  primarily  due to an
increase in total interest income of $2.7 million,  or 11.7%, from $23.4 million
for the three months  ended June 30, 1995 to $26.1  million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  This  increase was  primarily the result of an increase in
interest income on loans receivable from $16.6 million in the three months ended
June 30, 1995 to $19.4  million in the three months ended June 30, 1996,  due to
the increases in the interest rate earned on loans receivable and in the average
portfolio balance of loans receivable, which increased $112.6 million, or 13.0%,
to $980.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996,  from $868.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in the average  portfolio
balance of loans  receivable  resulted  primarily  from a strong  economy in the
Company's  market area  coupled with an  aggressive  program to attract new loan
originations in both the mortgage and nonmortgage portfolios. Interest income on
investment securities, (including those available for sale) also increased, from
$1.1  million in the three  months  ended June 30,  1995 to $1.4  million in the
three months ended June 30,  1996,  due to an increase in the average  portfolio
balance of $24.3 million, or 31.0%, to $103.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996,  from $78.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The
increase in the average  investment  portfolio  balance was primarily due to the
investment  of proceeds from the Offering.  These  increases in interest  income
were partially  offset by a decrease in interest income on  mortgage-backed  and
other asset-backed securities, (including those available for sale) of $616,000,
or 10.9%,  to $5.0 million for the three  months ended June 30, 1996,  from $5.6
million for the three  months  ended June 30,  1995,  due to the decrease in the
average portfolio balance of $38.4 million,  or 10.7%, to $320.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996, from $359.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995.

The increase in interest  income was combined with a decrease in total  interest
expense of $1.0 million,  or 6.8%, from $14.9 million for the three months ended
June 30,  1995,  to $13.9  million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996.
Interest paid on deposits decreased $387,000,  or 3.1%, to $11.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996,  from $12.3 million for the three months ended
June 30,  1995,  due to a decrease  of 25 basis  points in the cost of  deposits
offsetting an increase in the average  balance of the deposits of $26.2 million,
or 2.4%,  to $1,096.5  million for the three months  ended June 30,  1996,  from
$1,070.3  million for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in the
cost of deposits was primarily  due to a 36 basis point  decrease in the cost of
time  deposits,  as the use of the  deposit  portfolio  as a source of funds was
de-emphasized in 1996 due to the available proceeds from the Offering.  Interest
paid on borrowed funds also  decreased,  by $625,000,  or 23.9%, to $2.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $2.6 million for the three months
ended June 30,  1995,  due to a decrease in the average  balance of Federal Home
Loan Bank  advances and other  borrowed  money of $38.0  million,  or 23.4%,  to
$124.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $162.8 million for
the three  months  ended June 30,  1995.  This  decrease  reflects  the use of a
portion of the proceeds from the Offering to repay borrowings.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS. In determining the provision for losses on loans,
management  analyzes,  among other  things,  the Bank's loan  portfolio,  market
conditions  and the  Bank's  market  area.  The  provision  for  losses on loans
decreased  by $65,000  for the periods  under  comparison,  from a provision  of
$142,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to a provision of $77,000 for
the three months  ended June 30,  1996.  The decrease for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 was due primarily to the continued  favorable market conditions in
the Colorado real estate market. The provision reflects management's recognition
of and desire to  appropriately  reserve for the past and  expected  future loan
growth for the Bank.  Management  believes that the allowance for loan losses is
adequate at June 30, 1996. There can be no assurances that the allowance will be
adequate  to cover  losses  which may in fact be realized in the future and that
additional provisions will not be required.

NONINTEREST  INCOME.  Noninterest  income increased by $477,000,  or 43.5%, from
$1.1  million for the three  months  ended June 30, 1995 to $1.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996.  This  increase was primarily the result of an
increase in fees and service  charges of $220,000 and an increase in the gain on
the sale of loans of $187,000,  primarily due to increased originations of fixed
rate loans which the Bank sells in the secondary  market as part of its interest
rate risk management.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense increased by $1.2 million, or 24.9% for
the three  months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the three months ended June
30, 1995. The major increase of $560,000 occurred in the other, net, noninterest
expense category.  In addition,  the Bank experienced  increases in compensation
expense of $291,000, in occupancy expense of $119,000,  and in professional fees
of  $75,000.   Minor  changes  in  other  noninterest  expense  categories  also
contributed to the total increase.

During the three  months ended June 30, 1995,  the Bank  recognized  $463,000 of
income in  partial  settlement  of an IRS  audit as an  offset  to  other,  net,
noninterest  expense,  which represents the majority of the $560,000 increase in
other, net, noninterest expense for the three month periods ending June 30, 1996
as  compared  to the same  period in 1995.  In  addition,  the Bank  experienced
increased  compensation  costs  during the three  months  ended  June 30,  1996,
primarily  due to an increase of $341,000 in employee  benefits  combined with a
$50,000  decrease  in  employee  compensation.  Approximately  one  half  of the
compensation  increase was related to compensation expense recognized on benefit
plans (including the purchase of 1,340,379 shares of common stock of the Company
by the ESOP in connection  with the  Conversion and  Reorganization)  due to the
price  appreciation of the fair market value of common stock of the Company held
by such  plans.  The ESOP  purchased  its  shares  with a 10 year  loan from the
Company.  Shares are expensed as they are  released.  Occupancy  cost  increased
primarily due to the  depreciation  expense and other office expense  associated
with the three new  offices  opened in 1995 and  1996.  Those new  offices  also
contributed to the increase in employee compensation mentioned above.

The Company  expects  additional  compensation  expense  due to the  adoption by
shareholders of a Management  Stock Bonus Plan ("MSBP") whereby various officers
and  directors  of the Bank will be granted  restricted  stock over a  five-year
period. It is expected that the MSBP will purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Company for the plan in open market  purchases.  Such  purchased  shares will be
expensed over a five year period beginning July 24, 1997 at fair market value.

The  provision for losses on federal funds sold booked in 1995 resulted when the
Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York took possession of the business
and property of Nationar,  a New  York-chartered  trust company.  The Bank wrote
down its $1.0  million  federal  funds sold to Nationar to $382,500  and filed a
proof of claim for the monies due. A $400,000  partial  payment on the claim was
received  in June,  1996 and  resulted  in a  recovery  of $18,000 in the second
quarter of 1996. Further claim payments are anticipated although the Bank cannot
predict the amount or the timing of any such payments.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Federal and state income taxes increased by $1.2 million, or
77.0%,  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996  compared to the three months
ended June 30, 1995,  due  primarily to the increase in earnings  before  income
taxes.

                 COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE
                 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

GENERAL.  Net  earnings for the six months  ended June 30, 1996  increased  $3.3
million,  or 54.1%,  to $9.3  million from $6.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.  The increase  was  primarily  due to an increase in net interest
income,  offset by an increase in noninterest  expense. The substantial increase
in net interest  income can be attributed  primarily to the increase in capital,
as the proceeds from the  Conversion  and  Reorganization  increased the average
balance of interest-earning assets.

NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased $6.6 million,  or 38.6%, from
$17.1 million  during the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $23.7 million during
the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  This  increase  was  primarily  due to an
increase in total interest income of $6.0 million,  or 13.1%, from $45.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $51.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in interest
income on loans  receivable  from $31.5 million in the six months ended June 30,
1995 to  $38.0  million  in the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,  due to the
increases in the  interest  rate earned on loans  receivable  and in the average
portfolio balance of loans receivable, which increased $130.7 million, or 15.7%,
to $962.9  million for the six months ended June 30, 1996,  from $832.1  million
for the six months  ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in the average  portfolio
balance of loans  receivable  resulted  primarily  from a strong  economy in the
Company's  market area  coupled with an  aggressive  program to attract new loan
originations in both the mortgage and nonmortgage portfolios. Interest income on
investment securities (including those available for sale) also increased,  from
$2.1  million in the six months  ended June 30, 1995 to $2.8  million in the six
months ended June 30, 1996, due to the increase in the average portfolio balance
of $25.5 million,  or 33.6%, to $101.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996, from $75.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase in
the average investment  portfolio balance was primarily due to the investment of
proceeds from the Offering.  These  increases in interest  income were partially
offset  by  a  decrease  in  interest  income  on   mortgage-backed   and  other
asset-backed  securities,  (including those available for sale) of $2.2 million,
or 18.4%,  to $9.8 million for the six months  ended June 30,  1996,  from $12.0
million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  due to the  decrease  in the
average portfolio balance of $56.9 million,  or 15.2%, to $317.2 million for the
six months  ended June 30,  1996,  from $374.0  million for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.

The increase in interest  income was combined with a decrease in total  interest
expense of $604,000,  or 2.1%,  from $28.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1995, to $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Interest paid
on deposits  increased  $340,000,  or 1.4%,  to $23.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996,  from $23.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995,
due to the increase in the average balance of the deposits of $33.2 million,  or
3.2%, to $1,086.3  million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $1,053.1
million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1995.  The  increase in the average
balance of deposits was  accompanied  by a 7 basis point decrease in the cost of
deposits  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 from the six months ended June
30, 1995. This increase in interest paid on deposits was offset by a decrease in
interest paid on borrowed funds of $944,000,  or 18.7%,  to $4.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1996,  from $5.0 million for the six months ended June
30,  1995,  due to a decrease in the average  balance of Federal  Home Loan Bank
advances and other borrowed money of $31.2 million,  or 19.7%, to $126.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996,  from $158.1  million for the six months
ended June 30, 1995. This decrease reflects the use of a portion of the proceeds
from the Offering to repay borrowings.

PROVISION  (CREDIT) FOR LOSSES ON LOANS. In determining the provision for losses
on loans,  management  analyzes,  among other things, the Bank's loan portfolio,
market conditions and the Bank's market area. The provision  (credit) for losses
on loans increased by $874,000 for the periods under  comparison,  from a credit
of $567,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1995 to a provision  of $307,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The credit for the six months ended June
30, 1995 was due  primarily to the favorable  market  conditions in the Colorado
real estate  market,  resulting  in the  historical  loss  factors  used for the
general loss  provision  being  adjusted  downward and the excess  reserve being
recognized  as a credit for losses on loans.  The  provision  for the six months
ended  June  30,  1996  reflects  management's  recognition  of  and  desire  to
appropriately reserve for the past and expected future loan growth for the Bank.
Management  believes  that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30,
1996.  There can be no assurances  that the allowance  will be adequate to cover
losses  which  may in  fact  be  realized  in the  future  and  that  additional
provisions will not be required.

NONINTEREST INCOME.  Noninterest income increased by $57,000, or 2.1%, from $2.7
million  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1995 to $2.8  million  for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily the result of a decrease
in the loss on the sale of mortgage-backed and other asset-backed  securities of
$362,000,   primarily  due  to  sales  of   available-for-sale   mortgage-backed
securities in the first quarter of 1995 that resulted in a loss, and an increase
in fees and service charges of $356,000, offset by a decrease in net income from
real estate  operations  of $777,000,  primarily  due to a profit on the sale of
real estate owned in the first quarter of 1995.  There were no comparable  sales
of  mortgage-backed  securities or real estate owned during the six months ended
June 30, 1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE.  Noninterest expense increased by $902,000, or 8.4% for the
six months  ended June 30,  1996 as  compared  to the six months  ended June 30,
1995. The major  increase of $547,000  occurred in the other,  net,  noninterest
expense category.  Additional increases in compensation expense of $460,000,  in
occupancy  expense of  $176,000,  and in  advertising  expense of $125,000  were
partially  offset by the  decrease of $636,000  in the  provision  for losses on
federal  funds sold to account for the majority of the  decrease in  noninterest
expense.  Increases in  professional  fees ($94,000,  due primarily to increased
reporting  requirements  as a result of the Conversion and  Reorganization)  and
FDIC premiums  ($89,000,  due primarily to an increased deposit  portfolio) also
contributed to the total increase.

During the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  the Bank  recognized  $463,000  of
income in  partial  settlement  of an IRS  audit as an  offset  to  other,  net,
noninterest  expense,  which represents the majority of the $547,000 increase in
other, net,  noninterest  expense for the six month periods ending June 30, 1996
as  compared  to the same  period in 1995.  In  addition,  the Bank  experienced
increased  compensation  costs  during  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,
primarily  due to an increase of $559,000 in employee  benefits  combined with a
$99,000  decrease  in  employee  compensation.  Approximately  one  half  of the
compensation  increase was related to compensation expense recognized on benefit
plans (including the purchase of 1,340,379 shares of common stock of the Company
by the ESOP in connection  with the  Conversion and  Reorganization)  due to the
price  appreciation of the fair market value of common stock of the Company held
by such  plans.  The ESOP  purchased  its  shares  with a 10 year  loan from the
Company.  Shares are expensed as they are  released.  Occupancy  cost  increased
primarily due to the  depreciation  expense and other office expense  associated
with the three new  offices  opened in 1995 and  1996.  Those new  offices  also
contributed to the increase in employee compensation mentioned above.

The Company  expects  additional  compensation  expense  due to the  adoption by
shareholders of a Management  Stock Bonus Plan ("MSBP") whereby various officers
and  directors  of the Bank will be granted  restricted  stock over a  five-year
period. It is expected that the MSBP will purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Company for the plan in open market  purchases.  Such  purchased  shares will be
expensed over a five year period beginning July 24, 1997 at fair market value.

The  provision for losses on federal funds sold booked in 1995 resulted when the
Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York took possession of the business
and property of Nationar,  a New  York-chartered  trust company.  The Bank wrote
down its $1.0  million  federal  funds sold to Nationar to $382,500  and filed a
proof of claim for the monies due. A $400,000  partial  payment on the claim was
received  in June,  1996 and  resulted  in a  recovery  of $18,000 in the second
quarter of 1996. Further claim payments are anticipated although the Bank cannot
predict the amount or the timing of any such payments.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Federal and state income taxes increased by $1.6 million, or
44.4%,  for the six months ended June 30, 1996  compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1995, due primarily to the increase in earnings before income taxes.


                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank is required to maintain a minimum  level of liquid assets as defined by
the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations. This requirement,  which may
be varied  from time to time  depending  upon  economic  conditions  and deposit
flows,  is based upon a percentage of deposits and  short-term  borrowings.  The
required ratio is currently 5%. The Bank's  liquidity  averaged 12.5% during the
month of June,  1996.  The Bank  adjusts  its  liquidity  level in order to meet
funding  needs for deposit  outflows,  payment of real estate  taxes from escrow
accounts on mortgage loans,  repayment of borrowings when  applicable,  and loan
funding commitments. The Bank also adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to
meet its asset/liability management objectives.

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits,  amortization  and prepayments
of loans  and  mortgage-backed  and  other  asset-backed  securities,  sales and
maturities of investment securities,  Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka advances,
borrowings  from commercial  banks,  and funds provided from  operations.  While
scheduled loan amortization and maturing investment  securities are a relatively
predictable  source of funds,  deposit  flow and loan  prepayments  are  greatly
influenced by market interest rates,  economic  conditions and competition.  The
Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance.

In addition,  the Bank invests any excess funds in federal  funds and  overnight
deposits  which provide  liquidity to meet lending  requirements.  Federal Funds
sold and  other  interest-earning  assets  at June 30,  1996  amounted  to $23.6
million,  a decrease of $63.0  million from  December 31,  1995.  This  decrease
reflects  the  desired  utilization  of  excess  Federal  Funds  sold and  other
interest-earning assets in funding loans receivable.

When the Bank  requires  funds beyond its ability to generate  them  internally,
borrowing  agreements exist with other financial  institutions  which provide an
additional  source  of funds.  The Bank had a June 30,  1996  balance  of $119.5
million of Federal  Home Loan Bank  advances  compared  to $125.7  million as of
December 31, 1995. These borrowings were used to fund the Bank's cash needs. The
Bank also anticipates that it will require additional  short-term  borrowings to
meet its  current  loan  commitments.  At June  30,  1996,  the  Bank had  total
outstanding  commitments to fund loan originations or  mortgage-backed  security
purchases of $34.1 million.

The Bank  can also  access  the  capital  markets  to meet its cash  needs,  and
recently did so through its Conversion and Reorganization, as explained above.

As required by regulation,  the Bank must maintain a minimum regulatory tangible
capital ratio of 1.5% of tangible  assets, a minimum core capital ratio of 3% of
adjusted tangible assets,  and a minimum risk-based capital ratio of 8% of total
risk-weight assets.

                    IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company  and  notes  thereto,
presented  elsewhere  herein,  have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which
require the measurement of financial condition and operating results in terms of
historical  dollars without  considering  the change in the relative  purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation.  The impact of inflation is reflected
in the  increased  cost of the  Company's  operations  . Unlike most  industrial
companies,  nearly all the assets and  liabilities of the Company are financial.
As a result,  interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's  performance
than do the  effects  of  general  levels of  inflation.  Interest  rates do not
necessarily  move in the same  direction  or to the same extent as the prices of
goods and services.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

DISPARITY IN INSURANCE  PREMIUMS  AND SPECIAL  ASSESSMENT.  Federal law requires
that the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC")  maintain the reserve
level of each of the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund ("SAIF") and the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF") at 1.25% of insured deposits. Reserves are funded through
payments by insured  institutions of insurance premiums.  On September 30, 1995,
due to the BIF  reaching  the  required  reserve  level,  the FDIC  reduced  the
insurance  premiums for members of BIF to a range of between  0.04% and 0.31% of
deposits  while  maintaining  the  current  range of between  0.23% and 0.31% of
deposits for members of SAIF.  In November  1995,  the FDIC lowered BIF premiums
further,  whereby  approximately  92% of BIF-insured  institutions  pay only the
statutory minimum of $2,000 annually.  This reduction in insurance  premiums for
BIF members could place SAIF members, primarily thrift institutions, such as the
Bank, at a material competitive disadvantage to BIF members and, for the reasons
set  forth  below,  could  have a  material  adverse  effect on the  results  of
operations  and  financial  condition  of the  Bank in  future  periods  thereby
effecting the value of the Common Stock.

A disparity in insurance premiums between those required for SAIF members,  such
as the Bank,  and BIF  members  will allow BIF  members  to  attract  and retain
deposits at a lower  effective cost than that of SAIF members.  In the event BIF
members in the Bank's  market  area,  as a result of the  reduction in insurance
premiums,  increase  the  interest  rates  paid  on  deposits,  this  could  put
competitive  pressure on the Bank to raise the  interest  rates paid on deposits
thus increasing its cost of funds and possibly reducing net interest income. The
resultant  competitive  disadvantage could result in the Bank losing deposits to
BIF members who have a lower cost of funds and are therefore  able to pay higher
rates of interest on  deposits.  Although  the Bank has other  sources of funds,
these other  sources may have higher costs than those of deposits,  resulting in
lower net yields on loans originated using such funds.

Several  alternatives to mitigate the effect of the BIF/SAIF  insurance  premium
disparity have recently been proposed by the U.S. Congress,  federal regulators,
industry lobbyists and the executive branch of the United States Government. One
plan that has gained  support of several  sponsors would require all SAIF member
institutions,  including the Bank, to pay a one-time fee of approximately  0.85%
($0.85 for every $100 of  deposits)  on the amount of deposits  held as of March
31, 1995 by the member institution to recapitalize the SAIF. Thereafter, deposit
insurance premiums would be similar for all FDIC insured institutions.  If an 85
basis point (0.85%)  assessment was effected,  based on deposits as of March 31,
1995, the Bank's pro rata share would amount to $9.1 million before taxes.  This
assessment  would have  resulted  in the Bank  reporting  a loss for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996.  Management  of the Bank is unable to predict  whether this
proposal  or any  similar  proposal  will be  enacted or  whether  ongoing  SAIF
premiums will be reduced to a level comparable to that of BIF premiums.

POSSIBLE  ELIMINATION  OF THRIFT CHARTER AND BAD DEBT  DEDUCTION.  In connection
with  Congress'  debate  regarding  the  disparity  between the BIF and the SAIF
premium  assessments  various  proposals  have  been put  forth to merge the two
insurance funds and, in the process,  eliminate the thrift charter. In addition,
certain of these proposals call for the consolidation of the OTS into one of the
other federal banking agencies,  such as the Comptroller of the Currency.  Under
these  proposals,  the two  insurance  funds would be merged by 1998 and at that
time, all federally chartered thrift  institutions,  would be required to become
either national  commercial  banks,  state commercial  banks, or state chartered
thrifts.  Congress  also  proposes  doing away with state  thrift  charters  and
certain  aspects of the Bank's bad debt  deduction.  If the Bank is required to
become a commercial  bank or Congress  changes the existing law as it relates to
the bad debt deduction,  the Bank may incur adverse tax consequences as the Bank
may be required to recapture  into income some or all of its bad debt  deduction
for prior years. At the present time, the Bank's management is unable to predict
whether any of these proposals will be passed by Congress, in what form they may
be passed by Congress,  or what effect they may have on the Bank,  its financial
condition, or its results of operations.
