                   WESTWOOD HOMESTEAD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                             (Unaudited)
                September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995

(1)  Basis of Presentation.
     ----------------------
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
     statements were prepared in accordance with instructions
     for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures
     necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated
     statements of financial condition, operations and cash
     flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
     principles.  However, all adjustments which are, in the
     opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation
     of the interim financial statements have been included.  The
     consolidated statements of operations for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
     the results which may be expected for the entire year.

(2)  Consummation of the Conversion
     ------------------------------
     On September 27, 1996, the Westwood Homestead Savings Bank
     (the "Bank") completed its conversion from an Ohio mutual
     savings bank to an Ohio stock savings bank and was
     simultaneously acquired by Westwood Homestead Financial
     Corporation (the "Company"), an Indiana corporation, which
     was formed to act as the holding company of the Bank.

     On the date of conversion, the Company issued 2,843,375
     shares of common stock, $.01 par value, at $10 per share,
     raising net proceeds of $27.7 million.  In accordance with
     the plan of conversion, $13.9 million of the net proceeds
     were utilized to purchase 100% of the stock of the Bank.

(3)  Earnings (Loss) Per Share
     -------------------------
     Earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the quarter
     and nine months ended September 30, 1995 because no shares
     of stock were outstanding for that period.  Loss per share
     is not presented for the same periods in 1996 because the
     net loss subsequent to the conversion was not meaningful due
     to the fact that it was only for one day.

(4)  Contingencies
     -------------
     Although the Bank, from time to time, is involved in various
     legal proceedings in the normal course of business, there
     are no material legal proceedings to which the Bank is a
     party or to which any of its property is subject.

(5)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
     -----------------------------
     Effective January 1, 1996, the Company established the
     Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).  On September 30,
     1996, the ESOP purchased 227,470 shares of the Company's
     common stock.  The ESOP was capitalized with a loan from the
     Company for $2.4 million which is secured by the shares of
     common stock purchased.  The obligation of the ESOP, net of
     amounts charged to expense, is shown as a reduction of
     stockholders' equity.  The Bank intends to make annual
     contributions to the ESOP sufficient to repay the loan plus
     interest over a 13 year period.  Amortization of the ESOP of
     $118,000 has been recorded as compensation expense for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1996.

(6)  Recapitalization of SAIF and Related Legislation
     ------------------------------------------------
     Pursuant to recently enacted legislation, the FDIC has
     levied an assessment on institutions with deposits insured
     by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") in
     order to recapitalize the SAIF.  The assessment, set by the
     FDIC at 0.65% of SAIF-insured deposits as of March 31, 1995,
     will be  paid on November 27, 1996.  The effect of this
     assessment was to reduce the Company's net income for the
     quarter ended September 30, 1996 by $584,000.  As a result
     of this legislation, the Company's deposit insurance
     premiums will be reduced from the current 23 basis points to
     approximately 6.5 basis points, a 72% decrease, effective
     for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.

     In addition to numerous regulatory relief provisions
     contained in the recent legislation, the legislation
     provides for a merger of the SAIF and the Bank Insurance
     Fund effective January 1, 1999 if there are no insured
     savings associations remaining on that date, and directs the
     Secretary of Treasury to make recommendations to the
     Congress by March 31, 1997 with respect to establishment of
     a common charter for banks and thrift institutions.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations

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

     Westwood Homestead Savings Bank (the "Bank") converted from
a state chartered mutual savings bank to a state chartered stock
savings bank on September 27, 1996.  In the conversion, 2,843,375
shares of common stock of Westwood Homestead Financial
Corporation (the "Company") were sold, generating net proceeds
after conversion expenses of $27.7 million.  Of this amount,
$13.9 million was used to purchase 100% of the common stock of
the Bank, $2.4 million to fund the stock purchase made by the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan and the balance will be used to
purchase investments and for other corporate purposes.

     Total assets increased $23.3 million, or 24.1% from $96.6
million at December 31, 1995 to $119.9 million at September 30,
1996 due to the receipt of net proceeds of the mutual to stock
conversion on September 27, 1996.  Cash equivalents  increased
$15.0 million from December 31, 1995 to $15.9 million at
September 30, 1996 and were primarily invested in short term
Federal Home Loan Bank term deposits.  Management expects to
explore alternate investments for these funds in the fourth
quarter 1996. Loans receivable increased $7.3 million, or 10.0%
from $73.2 million at December 31, 1995 to $80.5 million at
September 30, 1996. This increase in loans receivable was
primarily in one-to-four family three year adjustable rate loans. 
Mortgage backed securities decreased $2.4 million primarily due
to $1.7 million in sales and $700,000 in normal repayments while
investment securities increased $3.9 million due to purchases. 
The market value of the adjustable rate COFI CMOs is being
adversely affected by the current flat interest rate environment. 
Management believes these investments provide an acceptable yield
and has the ability to hold them to maturity if necessary.

     Total  liabilities decreased $2.0 million from $82.4 million
at December 31, 1995 to $80.4 million at September 30, 1996. 
This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in deposits of $2.7
million partially offset by an increase of $693,000 in accrued
expenses relating to the conversion.  A decrease in out of state
deposits of $1.2 million combined with local deposit withdrawals
to purchase stock in the Company contributed to the lower deposit
balances. 

     As a result of the mutual to stock conversion, net of
Company stock purchased by the ESOP, total equity  increased
$25.3 million from December 31, 1995 to $39.5 million, or 32.9%
of total assets, at September 30, 1996. 

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

     Net Income(loss).  Net income decreased $463,000 to a loss
of $272,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared
with net income of $191,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1995.  The decrease was primarily due to the FDIC special
assessment of $584,000 partially offset by an increase of
$117,000 in net interest income.   Net income decreased $137,000
to a loss of $56,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
from net income of $81,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995.  The FDIC special assessment and the $592,000 loss on
sale of securities available for sale occurred during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

     Net Interest Income.  Net interest income before provision
for loan losses increased $117,000, or 18.6%, to $746,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $629,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.  This increase was  due to an increase
of 31 basis points in the net interest rate spread to 2.16% for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from 1.84% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995 and $0.8 million more in average net
interest earning assets. 
                                     5<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     Interest Income.  Interest income increased $107,000, or
5.6%, to $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
from $1.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  This
increase was due primarily to an increase of $8.2 million, or
8.5%, in average interest earning assets to $105.2 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $97.0 million for the
quarter September 30, 1995.  Interest income on loans receivable
increased $175,000, or 12.1%, to $1,621,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 from $1,446,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  Interest income on mortgage backed
securities decreased $141,000, or 35.6%, to $255,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $396,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.  This shift in interest income relates
directly to the changes in the statement of financial condition
designed to reemphasize mortgage originations funded with local
deposits.  Interest income decreased $216,000, or 3.7%, to
$5,667,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from
$5,883,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The
average balance of interest earning assets decreased $1.6 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from the same period
last year.

     Interest Expense.  Although interest expense decreased
$9,000 to $1,254,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
from $1,263,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the
average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased  $7.4
million, or 8.7 %, to $92.1 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 from $84.7 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  This improvement is due to a decrease of 52
basis points in the average rate on interest bearing liabilities
to 5.45% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from 5.97% for
the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  Interest expense decreased
$328,000, or 8.2%, to $3,676,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $4,004,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  

     Provision for Loan Losses.  The Bank established provisions
for loan losses of $15,000 and $45,000 during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, as compared
to $28,000 for both the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1995. 

     Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $12,000
to $23,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $11,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.   Service charges and
fees increased  $8,000 to $19,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 1996 from $11,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995. 
This increase reflects the Bank's emphasis on attracting new NOW
accounts.   Non interest income increased $623,000 to $92,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from a negative $531,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The primary cause
for the increase was the absence of the loss on sale of
securities available for sale of  $592,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. The Bank recognized a $40,000 gain on
loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased
$746,000 to $1,167,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
from $421,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  This
increase was due primarily to the FDIC special assessment of
$584,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Compensation
and benefits increased $114,000, or 50.0%, during the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 1995 primarily due to the amortization accrual of
$118,000 for the nine months of ESOP expense.  Non-interest
expense increased $884,000 to $2,123,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 from $1,239,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 due primarily to the previously
mentioned items.  In addition, a recovery of approximately
$90,000 of benefit expense will be recorded in the fourth quarter
1996 if the Directors' Retirement Plan is approved by the
stockholders at a Special meeting to be held on December 23,
1996.

     Income Taxes. The Bank has recorded an income tax benefit of
$140,500 and $29,000 for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, which represents effective tax rates of 34.1%
and 34.2%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.9 million at September
30, 1996 which consisted of overnight federal funds and Federal
Home Loan Bank short term deposits. The Bank plans to engage in
an aggressive strategy of growth, both externally through the
selective acquisition of other financial institutions and
internally through branch expansion and through an expansion of
the Bank's lending activities.  Management believes that current
liquidity levels are adequate to fund daily operations.

     At September 30, 1996, the Bank exceeded all regulatory
minimum capital requirements.  The following table reconciles the
Bank's retained income as reported in the financial statements at
September 30, 1996 to its tangible, core and risk-based capital
levels and compares such totals to the regulatory requirements.
