             WESTWOOD HOMESTEAD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                          (Unaudited)
            September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996

(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, income and cash flows in
     conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
     and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year
     ended December 31, 1996. 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 income for the
     quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 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)  Management Recognition Plan
     ---------------------------
     Effective September 29, 1997, the Company established the
     Management Recognition Plan (MRP). During the second and
     third quarters of 1997, the MRP purchased 76,200 shares of
     the Company's common stock.  The obligation of the MRP, net
     of amounts charged to expense, is shown as a reduction of
     stockholders' equity.  The Bank amortizes the MRP expense
     over the five year vesting period. Amortization of the
     first year vesting of the MRP of $260,000 has been recorded
     as compensation expense for the nine months ended September
     30, 1997.

(4)  Net income per share
     --------------------
     Earnings per share is not presented for the quarter and
     nine months ended September 30, 1996 because no shares of
     stock were outstanding for those periods.

(5)  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.

(6)  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. 

                                   4<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     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 $202,000 has been
     recorded as compensation expense for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1997.

(7)  Impact of New Accounting Standards
     ----------------------------------

     Earnings Per Share.  In February 1997, the Financial
     Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 128
     "Earnings Per Share" (EPS).  This Statement is effective for
     financial statements issued for periods ending after
     December 15, 1997.  This Statement simplifies the standards
     for computing and presenting earnings per share.  It
     requires dual presentation of basic and diluted ESP on the 
     face of the income statement and requires a reconciliation
     of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
     computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted
     EPS computation.  The Bank does not expect the adoption of
     this Statement to have a material effect on the Company's
     financial position or results of operations.

     Reporting Comprehensive Income.  In June 1997, the FASB 
     issued SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income".  This
     statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
     December 15, 1997.  This Statement establishes standards
     for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its 
     components in a full set of general purpose financial 
     statements.  This Statement requires that an enterprise (a)
     classify items of other comprehensive income by their
     nature in a financial statement and (b) display the
     accumulated balance other comprehensive income separately
     from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in 
     the equity section of a statement of financial position. 
     The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement
     to have a material effect on the Company's financial
     position and results of operations.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND
DECEMBER 31, 1996

     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 was used to
purchase investments and for other corporate purposes.


                                   5<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     Total assets increased $22.9 million, or 19.1% from $120.0
million at December 31, 1996 to $142.9 million at September 30,
1997.  Loans receivable increased $27.1 million, or 32.1% from
$84.5 million at December 31, 1996 to $111.6 million at
September 30, 1997 as a result of strong loan demand, expanded
loan products and successful marketing.  This increase consisted
of 75% one to four family loans and 50% adjustable rate loans.

     Total  liabilities increased $23.4 million from $80.0
million at December 31, 1996 to $103.4 million at September 30,
1997.  This increase was due primarily to $16.6 million of
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") fixed rate advances with terms
ranging from seven months to 120 months.  Competition for local
CDs has shifted the Banks's funding source to FHLB advances in
recent periods.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1996

     Net Income.  Net income for the quarter ended September 30,
1997 was $194,000, or 8 cents per share, as compared with a loss
of $272,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Return on
average equity and return on average assets were 1.96% and
0.56%, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
compared to -7.33% and -1.01%, respectively, for the same
quarter in 1996.  Net income for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 was $880,000, or 35 cents per share, as compared with a
net loss of $56,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996.

     Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased
$453,000 to $1,199,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
from $746,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  This
increase was due to $25.2 million more in net interest earning
assets as a result of the investment of stock conversion
proceeds. Net interest margin increased to 3.51% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 2.84% for the same
quarter in 1996 primarily due to increased net interest earning
assets.  Net interest income increased $1,468,000 to $3,459,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $1,991,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Interest Income.  Interest income increased $695,000, or
34.8%, to $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
from $2.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. 
Interest income on loans receivable increased $623,000, or
38.4%, to $2,244,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
from $1,621,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  The
average balance of loans receivable increased 33.8% to $106.8
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from the same
quarter a year ago while the average yield increased 28 basis
points to 8.41%.  Stock conversion proceeds increased the
average of other earning assets $4.2 million from the year ago
quarter resulting in $73,000 more in other interest income. 
Interest income increased $1,820,000, or 32.1%, to $7.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $5.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $241,000 to
$1,495,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from
$1,254,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  This
increase is due to $6.2 million more in average interest bearing
liabilities and an increase in the average cost to 6.09% for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 from 5.45% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996.  Interest expense increased $352,000
to $4,028,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
$3,676,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
                              6<PAGE>

     Provision for Loan Losses.  The Bank established provisions
for loan losses of $31,000 and $15,000 during the quarters ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Management regularly
reviews the factors indicative of risk in the Bank's loan
portfolio, including problem loans and changes in the
composition of loans, interest rates, real estate market
conditions and other and economic conditions, in an effort to
determine whether any loans require classification or the
establishment of additional reserves.

     Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $20,000
to $43,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $23,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Service charges and
fees increased  $19,000 to $38,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 from $19,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996.  This increase reflects the Bank's emphasis
on attracting new checking accounts in the last year.   Service
charges and fees increased $53,000 to $100,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $47,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.

     Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased
$247,000 to $920,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
from $1,168,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 due
primarily to a one-time assessment to capitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund of $584,000 in 1996.  Compensation
and benefits increased $235,000 as compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 primarily due to $260,000 relating to the
first year amortization of the Management Recognition Plan. 
Legal and accounting fees increased $53,000 due to expenses
relating to being a public company.  Data processing expenses
increased $51,000 due to $37,000 of expenses relating to the
deconversion from the service bureau NCR.  The Bank
anticipates additional investments in technology in the next two
quarters.  Non-interest expense increased $23,000 to $2,146,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $2,123,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Income Taxes. The Company recorded  income tax expense
(benefit) of $454,000 and ($29,000) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This represented an
effective tax rate of 34.0% and (34.2%) for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.4 million at
September 30, 1997 which consisted primarily of overnight
federal funds and Federal Home Loan Bank term deposits.  In
order for the Company to enhance shareholder returns and
generate a competitive return on equity, management's strategy
is to pursue an active strategy of growth, both internally
through expansion of the Bank's lending activities and other
capital management measures, and externally, through the
selective acquisition of other financial institutions.  Due to
the highly competitive market for financial institution
acquisitions in the Bank's market areas, however, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying
attractive acquisition candidates or in acquiring such
candidates on favorable terms.  Certificate of deposits maturing
in one year or less total $41.1million, which includes $9.8
million of the high rate ten year term CDs.  Management believes
that current liquidity levels and borrowing limits are adequate
to fund daily operations.


                                   7<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. 
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate
certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary -
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.  Quantitative measures established by regulation to
ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios ( set forth in the table below ) of Tangible,
Tier I/Core and Risk-based capital (as defined in the
regulations).  Management believes, as of September 30, 1997,
that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which
it is subject.
