         Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1996


NOTE 1:     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited interim consolidated  financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete
financial  statements.  For further information,  the reader should refer to the
annual report of Crazy Woman Creek Bancorp Incorporated (the "Corporation").

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation  and Buffalo  Federal  Savings  Bank (the  "Bank"),  a wholly  owned
subsidiary  of  the  Corporation.  All  significant  intercompany  balances  and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring
accruals)  considered  necessary for fair presentations have been included.  The
results of operations  for the interim  periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  which may be  expected  for an
entire year or any other period.

NOTE 2:     CONVERSION FROM MUTUAL SAVINGS BANK TO STOCK SAVINGS
            BANK AND FORMATION OF SAVINGS AND LOAN HOLDING COMPANY

On   March   29,   1996,   the   Bank   consummated   its   conversion   from  a
federally-chartered  mutual savings and loan association to a stock savings bank
pursuant to a Plan of Conversion (the  "Conversion")  via the issuance of common
stock. In connection with the Conversion,  the Corporation sold 1,058,000 shares
of common stock which,  after  giving  effect to offering  expenses of $410,000,
resulting  in net  proceeds  of  $10.13  million  ($9.49  million  net  of  ESOP
purchases).  Pursuant  to  the  Conversion,  the  Bank  transferred  all  of its
outstanding shares to its newly organized holding company,  the Corporation,  in
exchange for 50% of the net proceeds.

Upon consummation of the Conversion,  the preexisting  liquidation rights of the
depositors of the Bank were unchanged.  Specifically,  such rights were retained
and will be  accounted  for by the Bank for the  benefit of such  depositors  in
proportion  to their  liquidation  interests as of the  Eligibility  Record Date
(November 15, 1994) and Supplemental Eligibility Record Date
(December 31, 1995).

NOTE 3:     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1996,  the FASB issued  Statement  125,  "Accounting  for  Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities."  Statement No.
125 provides  guidance on  accounting  for  transfers and servicing of financial
assets,  recognition  and  measurement  of  servicing  assets  and  liabilities,
financial assets subject to prepayment,  secured borrowings and collateral,  and
extinguishment of liabilities.

Statement No. 125 generally  requires the  Corporation  to recognize as separate
assets the rights to service  mortgage  loans for others,  whether the servicing
rights are acquired through purchases or loan originations. Servicing rights are
initially  recorded  at fair value  based upon the  present  value of  estimated
future  cash  flows.  Subsequently,   the  servicing  rights  are  assessed  for
impairment,  which is  recognized in the statement of earnings in the period the
impairment  occurs.  For purposes of performing the impairment  evaluation,  the
related   portfolio   must  be   stratified   on  the  basis  of  certain   risk
characteristics  including  loan  type and note  rate.  Statement  No.  125 also
specifies that financial assets subject to prepayment,  including loans that can
be  contractually  prepaid  or  otherwise  settled in such a way that the holder
would not recover  substantially all of its recorded investment be measured like
debt securities  available-for-sale  or trading  securities  under Statement No.
115. The  Corporation  intends to adopt the  provisions  of Statement No. 125 on
January 1, 1997, and management expects adoption will not have a material effect
on the financial position or operations of the Corporation.

NOTE 4:     EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common share is  calculated  by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares and common stock equivalents  outstanding during
the period.  Shares sold in the  conversion  from mutual to stock  ownership  on
March 29,  1996,  are  assumed to have been  outstanding  for all of fiscal year
1996,  for  purposes  of  computing   weighted   average   shares   outstanding.
Additionally,  unallocated  ESOP shares are excluded  from the weighted  average
common shares outstanding calculation,  while allocated shares are considered to
be  outstanding.  At December 31, 1996,  there were 3,429 allocated ESOP shares.
The weighted average shares outstanding was computed at 995,905, net of weighted
average unallocated ESOP shares (62,095).

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



GENERAL
- -------

The  Corporation is a unitary  savings and loan holding  company of the Bank. At
the present time, the Corporation's  only assets are its investment in the Bank,
loans to the Bank's  Employee  Stock Option Plan ("ESOP") and the Bank. The Bank
operates as a traditional savings association,  attracting deposit accounts from
the  general  public  and using  those  deposits,  together  with  other  funds,
primarily to originate  and invest in fixed-rate  conventional  loans secured by
single-family  residential  real estate.  The Bank also  originates  home equity
loans,  consumer  loans and loans  secured  by savings  accounts.  The Bank also
invests in mortgage-backed  securities and short-term U.S. Agency securities. To
a lesser extent,  the Bank originates  commercial real estate loans and business
loans.

The Bank's net earnings  are  dependent  primarily  on its net interest  income,
which is the difference  between interest income earned on its  interest-earning
assets and interest expense paid on interest-bearing  liabilities.  Net interest
income  is  determined  by  (i)  the   difference   between   yields  earned  on
interest-earning assets and rate paid on interest-bearing  liabilities (interest
rate  spread)  and (ii) the  relative  amounts  of  interest-earning  assets and
interest-bearing  liabilities.  The Bank's  interest  rate spread is affected by
regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan
demand and deposit flows.  To a lesser extent,  the Bank's net earnings also are
affected  by the level of  non-interest  income,  which  primarily  consists  of
service  charges and other  operating  income.  In  addition,  net  earnings are
affected by the level of non-interest (general and administrative) expenses.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Total assets increased by $1.07 million or 2.1% from $51.52 million at September
30, 1996 to $52.59 million at December 31, 1996.  Asset growth was attributed to
a $778,000  increase in net loans  receivable,  a $541,000  increase in cash and
cash equivalents, and a $330,000 increase in investment securities available for
sale.  Asset  growth was  somewhat  offset by a $472,000  decline in  investment
securities held to maturity.

Asset growth was primarily funded through  additional  advances from the Federal
Home  Loan  Bank of  Seattle  ("FHLB")  and  retained  earnings.  FHLB  advances
increased  by $1.38  million from $6.11  million at September  30, 1996 to $7.49
million at December 31, 1996.  Meanwhile,  total  deposits  declined by $302,000
from $29.37  million at  September  30, 1996 to $29.07  million at December  31,
1996.

Total  stockholders'  equity  increased  by  $144,000  as a result of  continued
earnings and due to an improvement in the market value of investment  securities
available for sale. The increase in  stockholders'  equity was reduced by a $.10
per share dividend that was declared in December, 1996.

ASSET QUALITY
- -------------

Non-performing  loans  totaled  $90,000 at  December  31, 1996 or 0.17% of total
assets.  This  compares  to $32,000 at  September  30,  1996,  or 0.06% of total
assets.  Non-performing  loans were comprised of two  residential  loans and six
consumer loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

      Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.
      ------------------------------------------------------------

Net Income. The Corporation reported net income of $161,000 for the three months
ended  December  31, 1996 as compared to  $109,000  for the three  months  ended
December 31, 1995. Net income was higher for the three months ended December 31,
1996  than the same  period in 1995  primarily  as a result  of an  increase  in
average  earning  assets.  The increase in average  earning assets was primarily
funded by the $9.49  million in net  proceeds  received  from the  Corporation's
initial stock  offering that was completed on March 29, 1996. Net income for the
three months ended December 31, 1995 included  $26,000 in gains from the sale of
a repossessed home and certain mortgage-backed securities.

Interest  Income.  Total  interest  income  increased  by $231,000 or 31.6% from
$731,000 for the three months ended  December 31, 1995 to $962,000 for the three
months  ended  December 31, 1996.  The  increase is primarily  attributed  to an
increase  in average  earning  assets from  $36.88  million for the  three-month
period  ended  December  31, 1995 to $51.36  million for the three  month-period
ended  December 31, 1996.  This  increase in volume  caused  interest  income to
increase by $261,000 for the periods  covered.  The increase in interest  income
caused by the increase in the volume of average  earning  assets was offset by a
decline in the yield of average  earning  assets for the  periods  covered.  The
yield on average  earning assets  declined from 7.93% for the three months ended
December  31, 1995 to 7.49% for the three months  ended  December 31, 1996.  The
decline can be attributed to a general decrease in the yield on loans originated
and the yield on  investment  securities  purchased for the  three-month  period
ended  December 31, 1995 compared to the  three-month  period ended December 31,
1996.

Interest  Expense.  Interest expense  increased by $51,000 from $406,000 for the
three  months  ended  December  31, 1995 to $457,000  for the three months ended
December 31,  1996.  The  increase in interest  expense was due, in part,  to an
increase in the volume of average FHLB advances. Average FHLB advances increased
from $2.98 million for the  three-month  period ended December 31, 1995 to $7.23
million for the  three-month  period  ended  December 31, 1996. A decline in the
cost of funds from 5.18% for the three months  ended  December 31, 1996 to 5.08%
caused interest expense to decrease by $14,000 for the periods covered.

Provisions  for Credit  Losses.  There were no  provisions  for loan  losses for
either the three  months  ended  December  31, 1996 or 1995.  There were also no
credit losses during those  periods.  In  determining  the  provisions  for loan
losses,  management analyzes,  among other things, the composition of the Bank's
loan  portfolio,  market  conditions and the Bank's market area.  Management has
determined  that  the  reserve  for  loan  losses  was  adequate  to  cover  any
anticipated  credit losses.  There can be no assurance that the reserve for loan
losses will be

                                    - 7 -

adequate to cover  losses,  which may in fact be realized in the future and that
additional provisions will not be required.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $180,000 from $325,000 for
the three months ended  December 31, 1995 to $505,000 for the three months ended
December  31,  1996  primarily  as a result of an  increase  in average  earning
assets. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing
liabilities for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was 142.65% compared to
117.65% for the same period in 1995.

Net interest  margin improved from 3.53% for the three months ended December 31,
1995 to 3.93% for the three months ended December 31, 1996 primarily as a result
of the increase in average earning assets.

Total Non-interest  Income.  Total non-interest  income declined by $29,000 from
$45,000 for the three  months  ended  December 31, 1996 to $16,000 for the three
months  ended  December  31,  1995.  Most of the decline was caused by a $26,000
reduction in gains from the sale of other real estate owned and  mortgage-backed
securities  that were taken during the three months ended  December 31, 1995. No
such gains occurred for the three months ended December 31, 1996. The balance of
the  decline was  attributed  to a drop in  customer  service  charges and other
operating income.

Total Non-interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased by $73,000 from
$204,000 for the three months ended  December 31, 1995 to $277,000 for the three
months  ended  December  31,  1996  primarily  as a  result  of an  increase  in
compensation   expense  and  costs  associated  with  being  a  public  company.
Compensation  expense  increased by $25,000  from  $100,000 for the three months
ended  December 31, 1995 to $125,000  for the three  months  ended  December 31,
1996. The increase in compensation  expense was primarily attributed to expenses
associated  with the Bank's ESOP and the  Corporation's  Management  Stock Bonus
Plan  ("MSBP");  the MSBP was  approved  by the  majority of  stockholders  at a
special meeting held on October 2, 1996. The increase in  compensation  was also
caused by  general  employee  pay  increases  and the  hiring  of an  additional
employee.

Other operating  expenses increased by $31,000 from $37,000 for the three months
ended  December 31, 1995 to $68,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996
as a result of  increased  legal fees and other  costs  associated  with being a
public  company.  Legal fees totaled $19,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1996  compared to $1,000 for the same  period in 1995.  Legal fees  included
work  done on the ESOP and  MSBP,  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  annual
reporting douments,  the special  stockholders'  meeting conducted on October 2,
1996 and other related items. These costs are expected to decline in the future.
The balance of other operating expenses were comprised of corporate state taxes,
proxy solicitation fees and other costs related to being a public company.

Occupancy and equipment costs were $10,000 higher in 1996 than in 1995 primarily
due to an increase in depreciation  expense.  In calendar year 1996,  management
adopted an IRS tax ruling that allows a company to increase its  depreciation of
certain assets in a given tax period.  There were no significant  changes to the
other components of non-interest operating expenses for the periods covered.

Management  believes that under current  regulations,  the Bank will continue to
meet its minimum capital  requirements in the foreseeable future.  Events beyond
the control of the Bank,  such as increased  interest rates or a downturn in the
economy  in areas in which  the Bank  operates  could  adversely  affect  future
earnings  and, as a result,  the ability of the Bank to meet its future  minimum
capital requirements.  Increased borrowings were necessary to meet the increased
loan demand.

Liquidity.  The Bank's  liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay
withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective
manner.   The  Bank's  primary  source  of  funds  are  deposits  and  scheduled
amortization  and prepayment of loans.  During the past several years,  the Bank
has used such funds  primarily  to fund  maturing  time  deposits,  pay  savings
withdrawals,  fund lending commitments,  purchase new investments,  and increase
liquidity.  The Bank funds most of its its operations internally but supplements
with  borrowed  funds from the FHLB of Seattle.  As of December 31,  1996,  such
borrowed funds totaled $7.49 million. Loan payments and maturing investments are
greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic   conditions  and
competition.

The Bank is required  under federal  regulations to maintain  certain  specified
levels of "liquid  investments,"  which include certain United States government
obligations and other approved investments. Current regulations require the Bank
to maintain liquid assets of not less than 5% of its net  withdrawable  accounts
plus short-term  borrowings.  Short-term  liquid assets must consist of not less
than 1% of such accounts and  borrowings,  which amount is also included  within
the 5%  requirement.  Those  levels  may be  changed  from  time  to time by the
regulators  to  reflect  current  economic  conditions.  The Bank has  generally
maintained  liquidity  far in  excess of  regulatory  requirements.  The  Bank's
regulatory  liquidity  was  21.84%  and 18.31% at  December  31,  1996 and 1995,
respectively,  and its short term liquidity was 2.65% and 2.64%,  at such dates,
respectively.

The amount of  certificate  accounts  which are  scheduled to mature  during the
twelve months ending December 31, 1997 is approximately  $12.57 million.  To the
extent  that these  deposits do not remain at the Bank upon  maturity,  the Bank
believes that it can replace these funds with deposits,  excess liquidity,  FHLB
advances  or  outside  borrowings.  It has been  the  Bank's  experience  that a
substantial portion of such maturing deposits remain at the Bank.

At December 31, 1996,  the Bank had loan  commitments  outstanding  of $623,000.
Funds  required to fill these  commitments  are derived  primarily  from current
excess  liquidity,  deposit  inflows or loan and investment and  mortgage-backed
security repayments.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
- ---------------------------------------

The  consolidated  financial  statements of the  Corporation  and notes thereto,
presented  elsewhere  herein,  have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which
require the measurement of financial  position 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  Corporation's  operations.  Unlike most industrial
companies,  nearly  all  the  assets  and  liabilities  of the  Corporation  are
financial.   As  a  result,   interest  rates  have  a  greater  impact  on  the
Corporation'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.
