     interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
     expected for the entire fiscal year. The accompanying consolidated
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1998 contained in the
     Company's Form 10-KSB.

  2  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128). SFAS 128 simplifies the
     standards for computing earnings per share and makes the calculation
     comparable to international standards. SFAS 128 replaces primary earnings
     per share with a presentation of basic earnings per share. It also requires
     dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share and a
     reconciliation of basic to diluted earnings per share.

     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
     stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
     for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
     that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
     were exercised into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
     stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

     SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
     after December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior earnings per
     share data.

     The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

  3  During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company transferred its
     investments from its held-to-maturity portfolio to its available-for-sale
     portfolio. This was done as the result of the sale, from its
     held-to-maturity portfolio, of a $200,000 REMIC, on which a $1,375
     realized loss was incurred, whose nature and volatility was inconsistent
     with the Company's investment objectives.  The remaining  investments in
     the held-to-maturity portfolio transferred to the available-for-sale
     portfolio had an amortized cost of $3.8 million and resulted in an
     unrealized gain of $48,000.
        
  4  The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued SFAS No. 130,
     "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1997.  This statement establishes standards
     for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
     (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general purpose
     financial statements. This statement requires that all items that are
     required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
     comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
     with the same prominence as other financial statements.  The Company
     adopted SFAS No. 130 on July 1, 1998.




The Company's comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997 is as follows:

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


General

Reliance Bancshares, Inc. (Company) has no significant assets other than common
stock of Reliance Savings Bank (Bank), cash and cash equivalents, investment
securities and the loan to the ESOP. The Company's principal business is the
business of the Bank. Therefore, the information in the Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relates to the
Bank and its operations.

Certain statements in this report which relate to the Company's plans,
objectives or future performance, may be deemed to be forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements includes words and phrases such as "will likely
result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate",
"project", or similar expressions and various other statements contained herein.
Such statements are based on management's current expectations. Actual
strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those
currently expected because of various risks and uncertainties. Additional
discussion of factors affecting the Company's business and prospects is
contained in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pending Merger

On June 30, 1998, the Company signed a definitive Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization that provides for the acquisition of the Company and thus the
Bank by St. Francis Capital Corporation ("St. Francis"). Under the terms of the
definitive agreement, St. Francis will acquire all of the outstanding shares of
the Company through a merger transaction pursuant to which the Company's
shareholders will elect to receive either cash or shares of St. Francis's common
stock in exchange for their shares (the "Merger"). Consummation of the
transaction is subject to regulatory approval, approval of the Company's
shareholders and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

Lending Activities

The Bank originates first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family
owner-occupied residences and residential construction loans within the Bank's
primary lending area. All of the Bank's first mortgage loans are originated for
the Bank's own loan portfolio. The Bank originated $4,821,000 mortgage loans at
an average rate of 8.60% during the three months ended September 30, 1998
compared to $3,429,000 at an average rate of 8.69% during the three months ended
September 30, 1997.

The Bank had $475,000 in commitments outstanding to originate mortgage loans at
September 30, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank's principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits, principal
collections on loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, proceeds from
maturities of securities, and net earnings. The Bank has an agreement with the
Federal Home Loan Bank to provide cash advances, should the need for additional
funds be required. The financial institution industry 

                                       8
<PAGE>   11


historically has accepted interest rate risk as a part of its operating
philosophy. The Bank continues to actively manage its interest rate risk, with
strategies such as originating mortgage loans which permit adjustment to the
interest rate annually after an initial fixed-rate term of three years in order
to reduce inherent interest rate risk.

The Bank is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total
"risk-weighted" assets, as defined by the banking regulators. At September 30,
1998, the Bank is required to have a minimum 3% Tier 1 capital to total assets
ratio, a minimum 4% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio and a minimum
8% of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio. The Bank's actual
ratios at that date were 51.99%, 69.12% and 72.34%, respectively.
Wisconsin-chartered savings banks are also required to maintain a minimum
capital to assets ratio of 6%. The Bank's capital exceeds all minimum standards
required by federal and state regulations.

For regulatory purposes, liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash and certain
investments to withdrawable deposits and short-term borrowings. The minimum
level of liquidity required by regulation is 8%. The Bank's liquidity ratio was
over 60% at September 30, 1998.

Financial Condition

Total assets decreased $1,835,000 to $40,454,000 at September 30, 1998 from
$42,289,000 at June 30, 1998. Investment securities decreased $2,501,000 to
$8,448,000 at September 30, 1998 from $10,949,000 at June 30, 1998, certificates
of deposit decreased $199,000 to $294,000 at September 30, 1998 from $493,000 at
June 30, 1998 and cash and cash equivalent deposits decreased $247,000 to
$4,099,000 at September 30, 1998 from $4,346,000 at June 30, 1998. Loans
receivable increased $1,206,000 to $27,004,000 at September 30, 1998 from
$25,798,000 at June 30, 1998. The net decrease in these items was offset by the
elimination of the $2,000,000 in borrowed funds from the $2,000,000 outstanding
balance at June 30, 1998.

Proceeds from the sale and maturity of securities were also used to fund loans
and purchase securities. An unrealized gain on securities available for sale,
net of tax effect, of $51,000 has been recognized as a component of
stockholders' equity at September 30, 1998. Stockholders' equity is expected to
increase or decrease in the future to the extent, net of income tax effect, that
the market value of securities held for sale increase or decrease.

Accrued interest on loans and securities increased and accrued interest on
certificates of deposit decreased due to timing of interest receipts and
interest payments. Other assets and income taxes payable fluctuated due to
timing of corporate income tax payments.

Year 2000 Issue

The "Year 2000 Issue" concerns a problem resulting from computer programs being
written using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year.
Any of the Company's software programs, or software programs used by its
third-party providers, that are date-sensitive may recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. If not corrected, this problem could
cause a major system failure or miscalculations and represent a material cost to
the Company.

During 1997, the Company developed a Year 2000 Compliance Plan and conducted a
review of its computer systems and its third-party systems identifying those
that could be affected by the Year 2000 Issue. The inventory prepared included a
review of its non-computer equipment and infrastructure issues, such as its
heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment, and security equipment,
which could have embedded systems, to verify that they will function in Year
2000.

                                       9
<PAGE>   12


The plan also identified all third-party service providers, vendors, and
commercial credit customers doing business with the Company.

All of the Company's, equipment, vendors and suppliers, and commercial credit
customers were analyzed and segregated into two categories: critical systems and
non-critical systems. Critical systems were defined as those having
date-sensitive attributes which, if not Year 2000 compliant, could have a
material impact on the operations of the Company. Non-critical systems were
defined as those having date-sensitive attributes which, if not Year 2000
compliant, could continue to function by alternative methods which would not
have a material impact on the operations of the Company. An example of a
critical system is the Company's internal data-processing systems and those of
its third-party providers since non-compliance would pose a significant risk to
the Company. An example of a non-critical piece of equipment is the Company's
postage meter since, if non-compliant, the alternative is to use stamps.

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company initiated formal communications
will all of its significant vendors, suppliers, and commercial credit customers
to inform them of the Company's plan for Year 2000 compliance and to determine
the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those third parties' failure to
remedy their own Year 2000 issue. There can be no assurance that the systems of
other organizations upon which the Company's operations rely, including
essential utilities and telecommunications providers, will be timely converted,
or would not have a materially adverse effect of the Company. A target date of
December 31, 1998 has been established for the initial assessment of the
responses of vendors, suppliers and significant credit customers.

The Company has not incurred any costs to date associated with its Year 2000
readiness plans other than the soft-dollar costs relating to its review process.
The Company estimates its costs to be between $30,000 and $40,000 to upgrade its
computer hardware to be Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that, with
modifications to existing software used by the Company and by its third-party
providers, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems
for the Company. The Company does not anticipate costs to remedy the Year 2000
issue will have a material impact on the financial condition of the Company.

Due to the pending merger with St. Francis Capital Corporation, the concerns
related to the Year 2000 Issue may have little or no impact on the operations of
the Company as it exists now. However the Company has developed contingency
plans should the merger not go through. Those plans include the purchase of Year
2000 computer hardware and for the testing of its computer systems with its
third-party servicer to be completed before the end of the first quarter of
1999.

Net Income

The Company had net income of $103,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1998 compared to net income of $163,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1997. The primary reason for the decrease in net income was due to decreased
interest income on investment securities and loans partially offset by decreased
interest expense on borrowings. Net income for the 1998 period was also affected
by higher professional services expense relating to the Company's pending merger
partially offset by lower compensation and benefits expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased $14,000 from $541,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 to $527,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
The decrease in net 







                                       10
<PAGE>   13
interest income was due to decreased interest income on investment securities
and loans partially offset by decreased interest expense on borrowings. Interest
income on loans decreased as a result of a lower portfolio average balance and a
lower average yield while interest income on investment securities decreased as
a result of a lower portfolio average balance. Interest expense on borrowings
decreased due to a lower average balance of borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by
charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience,
known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may effect
the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying
collateral, and current economic conditions. There can be no assurance that the
allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover losses which may in fact be
realized in the future and that additional provisions for loan losses will not
be required. The amount of the provision for loan losses for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 reflected management's intention to continue
to make additions to the Bank's allowance for loan losses until it is equal to
approximately 1.0% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio. However, the Bank will
continue to monitor its loan loss experience, the condition and composition of
its loan portfolio and general economic conditions, and may make further
additions to its allowance for loan losses to a greater or lesser extent than it
has done historically, depending upon changes in the aforementioned conditions.

There was one nonperforming loan of $197,000 at September 30, 1998 and none at
September 30, 1997. As a result of this evaluation, the Bank's provision for
loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 amounted to
$5,000 and $5,000 respectively.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $5,000 from ($2,000) for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 to $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The
increase in noninterest income was the result of the $4,000 loss on the sale of
investments for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $80,000 from $253,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 to $333,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Compensation and benefits decreased $30,000 from $160,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 to $130,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1998 due to the decrease in costs associated with the pension plan. Fees for
professional services increased $107,000 from $22,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 to $129,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 due
to legal fees for services rendered in connection with the pending merger with
St. Francis Capital Corporation.

Income Taxes

Income taxes fluctuated due to the level of pre-tax earnings.
