                            FFD Financial Corporation

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

           For the nine and three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999


    1.   Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements were prepared
    in  accordance  with  instructions  for Form 10-QSB and,  therefore,  do not
    include  information or footnotes  necessary for a complete  presentation of
    financial position,  results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
    generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Accordingly,  these  financial
    statements  should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial
    statements   and  notes   thereto   of  FFD   Financial   Corporation   (the
    "Corporation")  included  in the Annual  Report on Form  10-KSB for the year
    ended June 30, 1999. However, in the opinion of management,  all adjustments
    (consisting  of only normal  recurring  accruals)  which are necessary for a
    fair  presentation  of the  financial  statements  have been  included.  The
    results of  operations  for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,
    2000,  are not  necessarily  indicative of the results which may be expected
    for the entire fiscal year.

    2.   Principles of Consolidation

    The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of
    the  Corporation and First Federal Savings Bank of Dover (the "Savings Bank"
    or  "First  Federal").   All  significant   intercompany   items  have  been
    eliminated.

    3.   Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
    Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting
    for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires entities
    to recognize all derivatives in their financial  statements as either assets
    or  liabilities  measured at fair  value.  SFAS No. 133 also  specifies  new
    methods of accounting  for hedging  transactions,  prescribes  the items and
    transactions that may be hedged,  and specifies  detailed criteria to be met
    to qualify for hedge accounting.

    The  definition  of a derivative  financial  instrument  is complex,  but in
    general,  it is an  instrument  with  one or  more  underlyings,  such as an
    interest  rate or  foreign  exchange  rate,  that is  applied  to a notional
    amount,  such  as  an  amount  of  currency,  to  determine  the  settlement
    amount(s).  It generally requires no significant  initial investment and can
    be settled  net or by delivery  of an asset that is readily  convertible  to
    cash.  SFAS No. 133  applies to  derivatives  embedded  in other  contracts,
    unless the  underlying  of the  embedded  derivative  is clearly and closely
    related to the host contract.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

           For the nine and three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1998


    3.   Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

    SFAS No.  133, as amended by SFAS No. 137,  is  effective  for fiscal  years
    beginning  after June 15,  2000.  On  adoption,  entities  are  permitted to
    transfer  held-to-maturity  debt  securities  to the  available-for-sale  or
    trading  category  without  calling into question their intent to hold other
    debt  securities to maturity in the future.  SFAS No. 133 is not expected to
    have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

    4.  Earnings Per Share

    Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average  common
    shares  outstanding  during  the  period  less  shares in the FFD  Financial
    Corporation  Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") that are unallocated
    and not  committed to be released.  Weighted-average  common  shares  deemed
    outstanding,  which gives effect to 72,567 unallocated ESOP shares,  totaled
    1,345,170 and 1,339,656 for the nine and three month periods ended March 31,
    2000, respectively. Weighted-average common shares deemed outstanding, which
    gives  effect to 85,744  unallocated  ESOP  shares,  totaled  1,352,195  and
    1,363,006  for the nine and  three  month  periods  ended  March  31,  1999,
    respectively.

    Diluted  earnings  per share is computed  taking into  consideration  common
    shares  outstanding and dilutive  potential common shares to be issued under
    the Corporation's stock option plan.  Weighted-average  common shares deemed
    outstanding  for purposes of computing  diluted  earnings per share  totaled
    1,365,694 and 1,350,249 for the nine and three month periods ended March 31,
    2000, respectively, and 1,395,392 and 1,394,389 for the nine and three month
    periods ended March 31, 1999,  respectively.  Incremental  shares related to
    the assumed exercise of stock options included in the computation of diluted
    earnings  per share  totaled  20,524 and 10,593 for the nine and three month
    periods  ended March 31, 2000,  respectively,  and 43,197 and 31,383 for the
    nine and three month periods ended March 31, 1999, respectively.

    Options  to  purchase  25,507  and  18,635  shares  of common  stock  with a
    respective   weighted-average   exercise  price  of  $9.14  and  $9.28  were
    outstanding  at March 31, 2000 but were  excluded  from the  computation  of
    common  share  equivalents  during the three and nine months ended March 31,
    2000,  respectively,  because  their  exercise  prices were greater than the
    average market price of the common shares.

                            FFD Financial Corporation

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


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 1999 to March 31, 2000

The Corporation's  total assets at March 31, 2000, amounted to $124.7 million, a
$12.4 million, or 11.0%, increase over the total at June 30, 1999. This increase
was funded primarily  through an increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") of $6.9 million and growth in deposits of $5.2 million.

Cash and cash  equivalents  and  investment  securities  totaled $6.2 million at
March 31,  2000,  an increase of $240,000,  or 4.0%,  over the total at June 30,
1999.

Mortgage-backed  securities  totaled  $13.8  million at March 31,  2000,  a $2.0
million,  or 12.7%,  decrease  from the total at June 30,  1999.  This  decrease
resulted primarily from principal repayments.

Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, totaled $101.2 million at March
31, 2000, an increase of $13.8 million,  or 15.8%, over the June 30, 1999 total.
Loan disbursements during the period totaled $22.3 million, which were partially
offset by principal  repayments  of $6.6 million and loans sold in the secondary
market totaling $1.8 million. Loans secured by nonresidential real estate, which
amounted to $27.6  million at March 31, 2000 and $18.7 million at June 30, 1999,
accounted  for most of the  growth in the loan  portfolio.  Nonresidential  real
estate  lending is generally  considered to involve a higher degree of risk than
residential  real estate lending due to the  relatively  larger loan amounts and
the  effects of general  economic  conditions  on the  successful  operation  of
income-producing properties. The Savings Bank has endeavored to reduce such risk
by evaluating  the credit  history and past  performance  of the  borrower,  the
location of the real  estate,  the quality of the  management  constructing  and
operating the property,  the debt service ratio, the quality and characteristics
of the income stream  generated by the property and  appraisals  supporting  the
property's valuation.

The  allowance for loan losses  totaled  $351,000 and $269,000 at March 31, 2000
and June 30, 1999, which represented .35% and .30% of total loans and 172.9% and
1,793.3% of nonperforming  loans at those respective dates.  Nonperforming loans
amounted  to  $203,000  and  $15,000  at March  31,  2000,  and  June 30,  1999,
respectively. Although management believes that its allowance for loan losses at
March 31, 2000, is adequate  based upon the available  facts and  circumstances,
there can be no assurance that additions to such allowance will not be necessary
in future periods,  which could adversely  affect the  Corporation's  results of
operations.

Deposits  totaled  $77.3  million at March 31,  2000, a $5.2  million,  or 7.3%,
increase  over total  deposits at June 30, 1999.  FHLB  advances  totaled  $30.5
million at March 31,  2000, a $6.9  million,  or 29.3%,  increase  over June 30,
1999.  Proceeds from the increase in deposits and borrowings were primarily used
to fund loan originations.

The Savings Bank is required to meet minimum  capital  standards  promulgated by
the Office of Thrift Supervision  ("OTS"). At March 31, 2000, the Savings Bank's
regulatory capital was well in excess of such minimum capital requirements.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating  Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000
and 1999

General

The  Corporation's net earnings totaled $630,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 2000, an increase of $227,000,  or 56.3%,  over the net earnings of $403,000
recorded in the comparable period in 1999. The increase in net earnings resulted
primarily from an increase of $452,000 in net interest  income and a decrease of
$22,000 in  general,  administrative  and other  expense,  which were  partially
offset by a decrease of $55,000 in other  income,  an increase of $82,000 in the
provision for losses on loans,  and an increase of $110,000 in the provision for
federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Total  interest  income  increased  by  $986,000,  or 19.4%,  to a total of $6.1
million for the nine months  ended  March 31,  2000,  compared to the nine month
period ended March 31, 1999. Interest income on loans increased by $1.0 million,
or 25.2%, due primarily to an increase of approximately $18.0 million, or 23.7%,
in  the  average  loan  portfolio  balance   outstanding.   Interest  income  on
mortgage-backed  securities decreased by $103,000,  or 12.7%, due primarily to a
$2.2 million, or 13.2%,  decline in the  weighted-average  balance  outstanding.
Interest income on investment securities and interest-bearing deposits increased
by $60,000,  or 31.3%,  due  primarily to a $405,000,  or 7.0%,  increase in the
weighted-average  balance outstanding coupled with a 100 basis point increase in
the yield earned on such investments.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $84,000,  or 3.8%, for the nine months
ended March 31, 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999,  due primarily to an
approximate by $7.6 million, or 11.5%, increase in the average deposit portfolio
balance outstanding,  which was partially offset by a 32 basis point decrease in
the average cost of deposits,  to 4.20% in the fiscal 2000 period.  The decrease
in the average cost of deposits  resulted as growth in the deposit portfolio was
concentrated in lower yielding transaction accounts.

Interest expense on borrowings increased by $450,000, or 66.4%, due primarily to
an increase in the average balance of advances outstanding of approximately $9.1
million,  or 48.1%,  coupled with a 58 basis point  increase in the cost of such
funds year to year.

As a result of the foregoing  changes in interest  income and interest  expense,
net interest income  increased by $452,000,  or 20.8%, for the nine months ended
March 31, 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999.  The interest  rate spread
amounted to approximately  2.52% for the nine month period ended March 31, 2000,
compared  to 2.29%  for the 1999  period,  while  the net  interest  margin  was
approximately  3.04% and 2.94% for the nine month  periods  ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating  Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 (continued)

Provision for Losses on Loans

A  provision  for  losses on loans is  charged  to  earnings  to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level considered  appropriate by management based
on historical loss experience,  the volume and type of lending  conducted by the
Savings Bank,  the status of past due principal and interest  payments,  general
economic  conditions,  particularly  as such  conditions  relate to the  Savings
Bank's market area,  and other factors  related to the  collectibility  of First
Federal's loan portfolio.  As a result of such analysis,  management  elected to
record a provision for losses on loans  totaling  $82,000  during the nine month
period  ended  March 31,  2000.  The current  period  provision  was  predicated
primarily upon growth in the portfolio of loans secured by non-residential  real
estate.  There can be no assurance  that the loan loss  allowance of the Savings
Bank will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future.

Other Income

Other  income  totaled  $120,000  for the nine months  ended March 31,  2000,  a
decrease  of $55,000,  or 31.4%,  from the 1999  period.  The  decrease  was due
primarily  to a $70,000  decline  in gain on sale of loans  due to a decline  in
sales volume,  which was partially  offset by a $15,000,  or 17.4%,  increase in
other operating income.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General,  administrative  and other  expense  totaled  $1.7 million for the nine
months  ended March 31, 2000,  a decrease of $22,000,  or 1.3%,  compared to the
same period in 1999. The decrease in general,  administrative  and other expense
resulted primarily from a $51,000,  or 6.0%,  decrease in employee  compensation
and benefits, which was partially offset by an increase of $40,000, or 11.5%, in
other operating  expenses.  The decrease in employee  compensation  and benefits
resulted  primarily from a decrease in costs related to stock benefit plans, due
to  fluctuations  in the  fair  value  of the  Corporation's  stock,  which  was
partially offset by hiring additional  personnel and normal merit increases year
to year.  The increase in other  operating  expense was  comprised  primarily of
increases in ATM charges and  pro-rata  increases  in other  operating  expenses
related to the Corporation's overall growth year to year.

Federal Income Taxes

The Corporation  recorded a provision for federal income taxes totaling $312,000
for the nine months  ended March 31, 2000,  an increase of  $110,000,  or 54.5%,
over the same period in 1999. The increase  resulted  primarily from a $337,000,
or 55.7%,  increase in earnings before taxes. The effective tax rates were 33.1%
and 33.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000
and 1999

General

The Corporation's net earnings totaled $223,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000,  an increase of $66,000,  or 42.0%,  over the net earnings of $157,000
recorded in the comparable period in 1999. The increase in net earnings resulted
primarily from an increase of $149,000 in net interest  income and a decrease of
$9,000 in general,  administrative  and other  expense,  which were offset by an
increase of $51,000 in the provision for losses on loans,  a decrease of $14,000
in other income and an increase of $27,000 in the provision  for federal  income
taxes.

Net Interest Income

Total  interest  income  increased  by  $364,000,  or 20.6%,  to a total of $2.1
million for the three months  ended March 31, 2000,  compared to the three month
period ended March 31, 2000. Interest income on loans increased by $401,000,  or
28.4%, due primarily to an increase of approximately $18.9 million, or 23.6%, in
the  average   loan   portfolio   balance   outstanding.   Interest   income  on
mortgage-backed  securities  decreased by $62,000,  or 21.2%, due primarily to a
decrease in the  average  balance  outstanding.  Interest  income on  investment
securities and  interest-bearing  deposits  increased by $25,000,  or 39.1%, due
primarily to a $663,000, or 11.4%, increase in the weighted-average  outstanding
balance  coupled  with a 110 basis point  increase  in the yield  earned on such
investments.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $63,000, or 8.6%, for the three months
ended March 31, 2000,  compared to the same period in 1999,  due primarily to an
approximate  $6.6  million  increase in the average  deposit  portfolio  balance
outstanding,  which was  partially  offset by a decrease in the average  cost of
deposits.

Interest expense on borrowings  increased by $152,000,  or 53.0%, due to an $8.2
million,  or 35.4%,  increase  in the average  balance of  advances  outstanding
coupled with a 65 basis point increase in the cost of such funds.

As a result of the foregoing  changes in interest  income and interest  expense,
net interest income increased by $149,000,  or 19.8%, for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999.

Provision for Losses on Loans

Management  elected to record a provision for losses on loans  totaling  $51,000
during  the three  month  period  ended  March 31,  2000.  The  current  quarter
provision was predicated primarily upon growth in the portfolio of loans secured
by  non-residential  real estate.  There can be no assurance  that the loan loss
allowance of the Savings Bank will be adequate to cover losses on  nonperforming
assets in the future.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 (continued)

Other Income

Other income  totaled  $44,000 the three months ended March 31, 2000, a decrease
of $14,000,  or 24.1%,  from the 1999 total. The decrease was due primarily to a
decrease of $8,000,  or 38.1%, in gain on sale of loans,  coupled with a $6,000,
or 16.2%, decrease in other operating income.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General,  administrative and other expense totaled $563,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of $9,000, or 1.6%, compared to the same period
in 1999.  The decrease in general,  administrative  and other  expense  resulted
primarily  from a  $18,000,  or 6.5%,  decrease  in  employee  compensation  and
benefits,  primarily  related to a reduction in costs  associated with the stock
benefit plans, due to fluctuations in the fair value of the Corporation's stock,
which was partially offset by a $23,000,  or 21.5%,  increase in other operating
expense.  The increase in other  operating  expenses was comprised  primarily of
increase in ATM charges  and  pro-rata  increases  in other  operating  expenses
related to the Corporation's overall growth year to year.

Federal Income Taxes

The Corporation  recorded a provision for federal income taxes totaling $108,000
for the three  months ended March 31,  2000,  an increase of $27,000,  or 33.3%,
over the same period in 1999. The increase resulted primarily from a $93,000, or
39.1%, increase in earnings before taxes. The effective tax rates were 32.6% and
34.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
