Dear Fellow Shareholders:

     Nineteen Hundred and Ninety Seven marked Wayne Bancorp's first full year as
a public Company. It was an exciting, challenging and successful year. I am
pleased to report that your Company achieved and, in many cases, exceeded the
goals of its business plan.

     For the period ended December 31, 1997, the Company's gross loans increased
$35.3 million to $182.5 million. In addition, deposits increased $19.5 million
to $198.5 million. Of particular significance is the increase of $3.9 million,
to $10.4 million, in noninterest bearing deposits.

     Of all of your Company's accomplishments during 1997, the most significant
and visible has been the increase in the value of your investment in Wayne
Bancorp. For the year, the price of Wayne Bancorp's common stock increased from
$15.25 to $26.75, a 43% gain, not including dividends paid to our shareholders.

     We remain confident that our ongoing efforts to implement our strategic
business plan will continue your Company's transformation into a profitable,
multifaceted community bank, serving and prospering in our unique local market.
And, we remain committed to enhancing the value of your investment in Wayne
Bancorp. We have successfully closed over $17.4 million in commercial, multi
family, commercial real estate and construction loans. And, through our ongoing
team efforts the Bank reported a 60% increase in noninterest bearing deposit
accounts.

     An important part of Wayne Bancorp's strategic business plan includes the
expansion of our commercial lending activities. At the close of the first
quarter, we took a big step in expanding Wayne Bancorp's commercial lending
operations by successfully recruiting Robert L. Frega to join our management
team as Senior Vice President responsible for Commercial Lending. Formerly with
Fleet Bank, Bob brings to us over twenty years of commercial lending expertise
and his efforts are already apparent, by leveraging his existing business
relationships and building on referrals from our board of directors and existing
management team. This operation will further enhance our ability to increase our
cross selling efforts and products per customer while attracting lower cost
demand deposits, once the exclusive domain of commercial banks.

     Another significant part of our business strategy involved branch office
expansion to extend your Bank's market area. In July, we opened a retail branch
on Route 46, in Fairfield. The branch is unique in that it was a turnkey
leasehold that was acquired at a very attractive rental which is expected to
assist the branch in its profitability expectations. Significantly, the
Fairfield area also provides a multitude of opportunities to grow our commercial
customer base and cross-sell various products and services.

     In August, we successfully obtained municipal and regulatory approvals to
open a branch on Franklin Avenue in Wyckoff, New Jersey, a Bergen County
municipality with a strong local business community. Wyckoff offers
opportunities for above average deposit growth in addition to providing a source
of financial service opportunities. We anticipate opening our temporary branch
in February with the permanent branch opening in the third quarter of 1998. Both
Fairfield and Wyckoff are natural extensions of our market area and should
enhance our franchise value.

     We have successfully developed and continue to market our Home Equity
variable rate program. With these loans being tied to our "prime rate" our
interest rate risk is significantly reduced. Additionally, our Home Equity fixed
rate first lien program affords us an average loan to value ratio of less than
30%.

     As an added service to our stockholders the Company has instituted a
dividend reinvestment plan. Information pertaining to the plan was mailed to all
stockholders of record as of January 15, 1998 including an explanation of the
plan and an enrollment card. The dividend reinvestment plan allows participating
stockholders to reinvest dividends and voluntary contributions for the purchase
of additional shares of the Company's common stock without brokerage commissions
or service charges.

     Your management team continues to expand our product line and services to
better serve our customers and communities. Some of our expanded products
include medical savings accounts, overdraft checking, merchant accounts,
telephonic banking and our premier direct mail money market accounts.
Additionally, we are very supportive of local charitable and civic organizations
that serve our communities. It's simply a matter of good business.


<PAGE>


     During 1997, we successfully implemented and completed two separate five
percent stock repurchases as part of our overall strategic plan to manage
capital and most significantly, maximize shareholder value. We intend to pursue
necessary regulatory approvals during the current year so that we can continue
to utilize open market stock repurchases to enhance shareholder value.

     Our first year as a public Company can be characterized as a successful
year of achievement. We are proud to have met or surpassed our goals,
particularly when compared to the performance of our peers, other recently
converted thrifts. Our board of directors and management look forward to
continuing to improve performance by constantly modifying and fine-tuning our
strategic plan to adapt to changes in the economy and our market place and to
take advantage of long and short term business opportunities that arise. As with
any investment, these benefits are not necessarily immediate, but often take
time.

     We begin 1998 with great anticipation and excitement. Our plans include
executing and implementing certain business opportunities on the holding Company
level which will compliment our traditional community banking activities and
have a synergistic effect on the Company's performance. As indicated above, we
are committed to managing our capital on all levels with a view to enhancing
shareholder value. We believe that our Company is poised to develop its
franchise and to benefit from a vibrant local economy, a strong real estate
market and business opportunities brought about by the dedication and hard work
of our officers, directors and staff.

     We remain committed to maximizing the value of your investment in Wayne
Bancorp and benefiting the communities we serve. Thank you for your confidence
and continued support.

 Sincerely,

 [Sign. Cut]

    Harold P. Cook, III
   Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer

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

GENERAL

     The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest
income which is the difference between interest income on loans, investments and
other interest-earning assets and interest expense on deposits and borrowings.
Interest income on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets is a
function of the average balances outstanding during the period and the average
rates earned. Interest expense is a function of the average amount of deposits
and borrowings outstanding during the period and average rates paid on such
deposits and borrowings. The Company's net income is further affected by the
level of its other expenses, such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy
and equipment costs, federal deposit insurance premiums and income taxes.

real estate values and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies
or guidelines and in government legislation and regulation (which change from
time to time and over which the Company has no control), technological changes,
changes in consumer spending and saving habits, and success of the Company at
managing the risk involved in the foregoing; and other risks detailed in this
Annual Report and in the Company's other Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the
date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these
forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after
the date hereof.

OPERATING STRATEGY

     Management's strategy has been to operate as a community oriented financial
institution by offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the
communities it serves while maintaining capital in excess of regulatory
requirements and monitoring the sensitivity of the Company's assets and
liabilities to interest rate fluctuations. The Board of Directors has sought to
accomplish these goals by: (i) attracting and maintaining low-cost savings and
transaction accounts, as well as money market accounts, which management
believes provide the Company with a stable source of funds; (ii) focusing its
lending on the origination of one- to four-family, owner occupied residential
mortgage loans, including home equity loans; (iii) supplementing its one- to
four-family residential lending activities with commercial real estate,
commercial business, multi-family, construction and consumer loans originated in
the Company's primary market area in accordance with the Company's underwriting
guidelines; (iv) purchasing short to intermediate term investment and
mortgage-backed securities to complement the Company's lending activities;(v)
emphasizing shorter-term loans and investments and adjustable rate assets when
market conditions permit; and (vi) controlling growth.

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

     Total assets increased $25.9 million or 10.6% to $270.0 million at December
31, 1997 from $244.1 million at December 31, 1996. Securities available for sale
decreased $7.5 million or 9.2% to $73.4 million at December 31, 1997 from $80.9
million at December 31, 1996. Cash flows from the securities available for sale
and held to maturity as well as increases in deposits and borrowings were used
to fund loan growth. Loans receivable, net increased $33.5 million or 23.0% to
$178.9 million at December 31, 1997 from $145.4 million at December 31, 1996.
The increase in loans receivable, net is primarily the result of an increase in
conventional one-to-four family loans of $17.2 million or 15.1%, an increase in
commercial real estate loans of $7.0 million or 98.6%, an increase in commercial
business loans of $1.9 million or 297.2% and an increase in home equity loans of
$3.5 million or 14.3%. Also included in the loans receivable, net increase were
increases of $1.9 million in multi-family loans, an increase of $1.1 million in
residential construction lending and an increase of $1.5 million in commercial
construction lending. Loan originations increased from $57.7 million for 1996 to
$60.6 million (including $6.6 million of residential one-to-four family
purchased

                                       4

loans) for 1997, reflecting the expansion of the Company's lending area for
first mortgages as well as the Company's loan origination efforts. In addition,
the Company has increased its marketing of home equity loans. Finally, the
Company is continuing to expand its commercial lending. The major components of
the originations for 1997 were $24.6 million of residential loans, $12.0 million
of home equity loans, $8.9 million of commercial real estate loans, $2.6 million
of construction loans, $2.0 million of multi-family loans, and $3.9 million of
commercial business loans. Deposits increased $19.6 million or 10.9% to $198.5
million at December 31, 1997 from $178.9 million at December 31, 1996. The
increase in deposits for the year 1997 is in part the result of interest
credited to deposit accounts of $6.1 million. Demand deposits increased to $10.5
million at December 31, 1997 from $6.9 million at December 31, 1996 or 52.2%.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $5.0 million to $32.0 million at
December 31, 1997 from $27.0 million at December 31, 1996. This increase was due
to the additional funding to support the origination and purchase of loans
during the year. Other liabilities increased $4.3 million to $4.7 million at
December 31, 1997 from $357,000 at December 31, 1996. The increase represents
the liability recorded to reflect the purchase of a $4.0 million Federal Farm
Credit Banks Note at 6.1%, that will be paid for in January 1998. Stockholders'
equity decreased $3.0 million to $33.9 million at December 31, 1997 from $36.9
million at December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily due to the purchase of
217,560 shares of the Company's common stock related to the Company's stock
repurchase programs previously announced, and the purchase of 89,254 shares of
common stock for the Company's Stock-Based Incentive Plan.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND
DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND
DECEMBER 31, 1995

GENERAL

     Net income for 1997 was $2.0 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 193.4%
from $666,000 for 1996. Net income decreased $205,000 or 23.5% in 1996 from
$871,000 for 1995. The increase of $1.3 million for 1997 was primarily
attributable to a $1.2 million increase in net interest income after provision
for loan losses, together with a decrease in total other expenses of $826,000
due to several non-recurring charges in 1996. In 1996, there was a $660,000, net
of tax, Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") recapitalization assessment.
In addition, there was a $503,000, net of tax, non-recurring charge for the
benefits paid to the Company's former President and CEO upon his resignation
from the Company. These were also the major items contributing to the decrease
in net income from 1995 to 1996.

INTEREST INCOME

     Interest income for 1997 increased $3.3 million to $18.8 million, from
$15.5 million for 1996. The increase in interest income reflected an increase in
average interest earning assets of $41.0 million from $211.9 million for 1996,
to $252.9 million for 1997, coupled with a increase in the average yield on
interest earning assets to 7.42% in 1997 from 7.29% in 1996. Interest income on
loans increased by $2.8 million to $12.9 million for 1997 from $10.1 million for
1996, primarily due to a $39.6 million increase in the average balance of loans
receivable from $129.2 million for 1996 to $168.8 million for 1997 offset by a
12 basis point decrease in the average yield to 7.66% for 1997 from 7.78% for
1996. Interest income on securities available for sale increased $955,000 to
$5.5 million in 1997 from $4.5 million in 1996, reflecting a $9.6 million
increase in the average balance of securities available for sale from $67.6
million for 1996 to $77.2 million for 1997 and a 42 basis point increase in the
average yield to 7.07%. Interest income on interest earning deposits and
short-term investments decreased $503,000 to $199,000 in 1997 from $702,000 in
1996, reflecting a $7.6 million decrease in the average balance of interest
earning deposits and short-term investments from $11.5 million for 1996 to $3.9
million for 1997 and a 104 basis point decrease in the average yield to 5.05% as
short term rates dropped.

     Interest income for 1996 increased $2.3 million to $15.1 million during
1995, from $13.1 million during 1995. The increase in interest income reflected
an increase in average interest earning assets of $30.8 million from $181.1
million for 1995, to $211.9 million for 1996, coupled with an increase in the
average yield on interest earning assets to 7.29% in 1996 from 7.26% in 1995.
Interest income on loans increased by $850,000 to $10.1 million for 1996 from
$9.2 million for 1995, primarily due to a $14.8 million increase in the average
balance of loans receivable from $114.4 million for 1995 to $129.2 million for
1996 offset somewhat by a 27 basis point decrease in the average yield to 7.78%
for the year ended December 31, 1996. Interest income on investments increased
$1.5 million to $5.4 million in 1996 from $3.9 million in 1995, reflecting a
$16.1 million increase in the average balance of investments from $66.6 million
for 1995 to $82.7 million for 1996 and a 65 basis point increase in the average
yield to 6.53%.

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense on deposits increased $479,000 or 7.0% to $7.6 million for
1997 from $7.1 million for 1996. This increase reflects an increase in the
average balance of interest bearing deposits of $9.2 million in 1997 compared
with 1996, and a decrease of 1 basis point in the average rate paid on deposit
liabilities during the same period to 4.11% for 1997. The increase in deposits
was primarily attributable to the Company's certificate accounts, the average
balance of which increased by $7.8 million to $103.6 million in 1997 from an
average balance of $95.8 million in 1996 on which the average yield increased
three basis points from 5.50% in 1996 to 5.53% in 1997. The increase in deposit
balances was also the result of increases in average non-interest bearing demand
deposits of $3.1 million to $7.9 million and an increase in average NOW accounts
of $2.6 million to $21.0 million for 1997 offset by small decreases in the
average balance of money market and savings accounts. Interest expense on FHLB
advances increased $1.5 million in 1997 compared with 1996 due to management's
decision to use FHLB advances to fund a portion of the Company's asset growth.
The increase in interest expense on advances is also the result of higher
average outstanding balances of $34.8 million for 1997 compared with $12.4
million for 1996. The rate paid on the advances increased 4 basis points to
6.56% for 1997.

     Interest expense on deposits increased $368,000 or 5.4% to $7.1 million for
1996 from $6.8 million for 1995. This increase reflects both an increase in the
average balance of interest bearing deposits of $7.9 million in 1996 compared to
1995, and a 3 basis point increase in the average rate paid on deposit
liabilities over the same period. The increase in deposits and the rate paid
thereon was primarily attributable to the Company's certificate accounts, the
average balance of which increased by $7.7 million to $95.8 million in 1996 from
an average balance of $88.1 million in 1995 and the average yield increased 7
basis points from 5.43% in 1995 to 5.50% in 1996. The increase in the rate paid
on certificate accounts was in response to market conditions and was intended to
maintain existing accounts rather than attracting new accounts to the Company.
Interest expense on borrowings increased $640,000 in 1996 compared with 1995 due
to management's decision to use borrowings to fund a portion of the
Company'sasset growth. 

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.4 million
or 18.7% to $8.9 million for 1997 from $7.5 million for 1996. The increase is
the result of higher outstanding average interest earning assets offset somewhat
by higher outstanding average interest bearing liabilities. Average interest
earning assets increased $41.0 million to $252.9 million for the year 1997 from
$211.9 million for the year 1996. Average interest bearing liabilities increased
$34.7 million to $220.6 million for the year 1997 from $185.9 million for the
year 1996. The yield earned on average interest earning assets increased by 13
basis points to 7.42% while the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities
increased 21 basis points to 4.49% due to increased emphasis on higher costing
certificates of deposits and borrowings. The Company's interest rate spread
decreased eight basis points to 2.93% for 1997 from 3.01% for 1996. The net
interest margin decreased from 3.54% for 1996 to 3.50% for 1997. The percentage
of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities for
1997 was 114.64% compared with 113.99% for the same period in 1996.

     Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.3 million
or 21.2% to $7.5 million for 1996 from $6.2 million for 1995. The increase is
the result of higher outstanding average interest earning assets offset by
higher outstanding average interest bearing liabilities. Average interest
earning assets increased $30.9 million to $211.9 million for the year 1996 from
$181.1 million for the year 1995. Average interest bearing liabilities increased
$17.7 million to $185.9 million for the year 1996 from $168.2 million for the
year 1995. The yield earned on average interest earning assets increased
slightly by three basis points to 7.29% while the rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities increased 15 basis points to 4.28%.

     The Company's interest rate spread decreased 12 basis points to 3.01% for
1996 from 3.13% for the year ended 1995. The net interest margin increased from
3.42% for 1995 to 3.54% for 1996. The percentage of average interest earning
assets to average interest bearing liabilities for 1996 was 113.99% compared
with 107.63% for the same period in 1995.

     In August 1996 the Company entered into an arbitrage transaction, whereby
the Company purchased a $25.0 million Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC"), fixed rate note and simultaneously borrowed $25.0 million from the
FHLB. The FHLMC note's term is for a period of ten years, at a rate of 7.783%,
and is callable after

                                       6

<PAGE>

three years, and continuously thereafter. The FHLB advance is for a three year
period, at a fixed rate of 6.86%, which represents a pretax spread of 92 basis
points or the difference between the rate earned of 7.783% and the cost of
6.86%. This transaction generates pretax income of $230,750, and on an after tax
basis, using an effective tax rate of 36%, results in an increase in net income
of $147,689 per year. Had the effects of this transaction been excluded from the
calculation of interest rate spread and margin the spread would have been 3.19%
or an increase of 26 basis points (3.19% versus 2.93%) and the margin would have
been 3.79% or an increase of 29 basis points (3.79% versus 3.50%). In addition,
the ratio of interest bearing assets to interest bearing liabilities would have
increased by 188 basis points to 116.25% from 114.64%.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for loan losses is a result of management's periodic analysis
of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses
increased $200,000 or 100.0% for 1997, compared with 1996. The Company's
provision for loan losses was $400,000 for 1997, compared with $200,000 for
1996. The provision for loan losses increased $48,000 or 31.6% for 1996,
compared with 1995. The Company's provision for loan losses was $200,000 for
1996, compared with $152,000 for 1995. The increase in the allowance for loan
losses in 1997 is due to management's continuing reassessment of losses inherent
in the loan portfolio, primarily in response to loan growth. At December 31,
1997 and 1996, the Company's allowance for loan losses totalled $2.2 million and
$1.8 million or 1.2% and 1.2% of gross loans receivable and 93.2% and 86.2% of
total non-performing loans, respectively. Management believes that the current
allowance for loan losses is adequate to address the risks inherent in the
Company's loan portfolio.

     The Company establishes an allowance for loan losses based on an analysis
of risk factors in the loan portfolio. This analysis includes evaluation of
concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions,
amount and composition of the loan portfolio (including loans being specifically
monitored by management), estimated fair value of underlying collateral, loan
commitments outstanding, delinquencies and other factors, including the loss
experience of similar portfolios in comparable lending markets.

      The Company will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and
 make future additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as
 economic conditions dictate. Although the Company maintains its allowance for
 loan losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for losses,
 there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts
 or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future
 periods. In addition, the Company's determination as to the amount of its
 allowance for loan losses is subject to review by the Office of Thrift
 Supervision ("OTS") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), as
 part of their examination process, which may result in the establishment of an
 additional allowance based upon their judgment of the information available to
 them at the time of their examination.

OTHER INCOME

     Other income increased $112,000 or 19.1% to $697,000 for 1997 from $585,000
for 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to the gain on sale of Real
Estate Owned of $100,000. Other income increased $310,000 or 112.7% to $585,000
for 1996 from $275,000 for 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to a
$363,000 loss on the sale of mortgage-backed securities incurred in December
1995 in connection with the Company's restructuring of the mortgage-backed
securities portfolio. Offsetting this loss was a gain on sale of real estate
owned of $118,000 for 1995.

OTHER EXPENSE

     Other expense decreased $826,000 or 11.8% to $6.0 million for 1997 compared
with $6.8 million for 1996. Other expense increased $1.9 million or 37.7% for
1996 compared with $5.0 million for 1995. Compensation and employee benefits
decreased $212,000 or 7.4% to $2.7 million for 1997 from $2.9 million for 1996,
due primarily to the non-recurring charge paid in 1996 for benefits paid to the
Company's former President and CEO. Excluding this non-recurring charge,
compensation and employee benefits expense actually increased $573,000 or 27.4%
to $2.7 million. This increase in compensation and employee benefits expense is
due to the Company hiring a commercial loan officer and the personnel costs
associated with the new branch office that opened in July 1997 and the cost of
stock benefit plans adopted in connection with the bank's mutual to stock
conversion. Compensation and employee benefits increased $619,000 or 27.4% to
$2.9 million for 1996 from $2.3 million in 1995. The increase in


                                       7

<PAGE>

compensation and employee benefits expense reflects the non-recurring charge for
benefits paid to the Company's former President and CEO upon his resignation.
The decrease in Federal insurance premiums of $301,000 to $92,000 for 1997 from
$393,000 for 1996 is due to the decline in insurance premiums (required by
legislation) from 23 basis points to 6.4 basis points (per $100 of deposits)
effective January 1, 1997. The decrease in SAIF assessment expense is the result
of the one time assessment of $1.0 million which represented the Company's share
of the special assessment required by legislation signed into law on September
30, 1996, requiring all SAIF insured institutions to make a one time payment to
recapitalize the SAIF. The increase in the other category of $624,000 or 45.8%
to $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 from $1.4 million for 1996
is the result of expenses incurred for the proxy contest in early 1997 and
legal, professional and printing expenses associated with being a public
company. The Company expects similar costs in the first quarter of 1998 in
connection with the anticipated proxy contest. In 1996, data processing fees
increased $40,000 or 19.8% due to the increase in volume of transactions
processed, primarily as a result of the increase in the number of loan and
deposit accounts as well as the introduction of banking by telephone. In 1996,
advertising expenses decreased $91,000 due to the postponement of advertising
expenditures for deposits, pending the acquisition or expansion of branch
facilities. The increase in SAIF recapitalization assessment expense is the
result of the one time assessment of $1.0 million described above. The increase
in the other category of $387,000 or 39.6% for 1996 to $1.4 million from
$977,000 for 1995 was due to increased accounting, legal and other professional
fees incurred as a result of the Company being a public company during the
second half of 1996.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

     Income tax expense increased $808,000 to $1.2 million for 1997 from
$403,000 for 1996 primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in pre-tax income.
Income tax expense decreased by $84,000 to $403,000 for 1996 from $487,000 for
1995 due to a $289,000 decline in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for
1997 was 38.3% compared with 37.7% for 1996 and 36.0% for 1995.

YEAR 2000

     A great deal of information has been disseminated about the global computer
year 2000. Many computer programs that can only distinguish the final two digits
of the year entered (a common programming practice in earlier years) are
expected to read entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 and compute payment,
interest or delinquency. Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to the
operation of the Company. Data processing is also essential to most other
financial institutions and many other companies. The Company contracts with a
service bureau to provide the majority of its data processing and is dependent
upon purchased application software. In house applications are limited to
word-processing and spreadsheet functions. The Company is in the process of
ensuring that external vendors and the servicer are adequately addressing the
system and software issues related to the year 2000 by obtaining written system
certifications that the systems are fully year 2000 compliant or that the
service bureau has a plan to become fully compliant in the very near future.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company will coordinate with the
primary servicer end-to-end tests which allow the Company to simulate daily
processing on sensitive century dates. In the evaluation, the Company will
ensure that critical operations will continue if the servicer or vendors are
unable to achieve the year 2000 requirements. Upon the completion of the system
inventory and vendor verification, the Company will identify critical
applications and develop detailed plans for hardware/system upgrades and system
replacements where necessary. Any delays, mistakes or failures could have a
significant adverse impact on the financial condition and results of operation
of the Company.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET

     The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively,
for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of
average monthly balances instead of average daily balances has caused any material differences in the information presented. The
yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS

     The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates
and changes in the volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense
during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with
respect to: (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes
in rate multiplied by prior volume); and (iii) the net change. The changes
attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated
proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the potential loss from adverse changes in market prices and
rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk
inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management
actively monitors and manages its inherent interest rate risk exposure.

     The Company's profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates.
A sudden and substantial increase in interest rates may adversely impact the
Company's earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and
liabilities do not change at the same speed, the same extent, or on the same
basis. The Company monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net
interest income using several tools. OTS regulated institutions are required to
measure their exposure to changes in interest rates. These tests measure the
impact on net interest income and on net portfolio value ("NPV") of an immediate
change in interest rates in 100 basis point increments. Net portfolio value is
defined as the net present value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet
contracts. Following are the estimated impacts of immediate changes in interest
rates at the specified levels at December 31, 1997, calculated in compliance
with OTS requirements:

- ----------

(1)  Represents the increase (decrease) of the estimated NPV at the indicated
     change in interest rates compared to the NPV assuming no change in interest
     rates.

(2)  Calculated as the estimated NPV divided by the portfolio value of total
     assets ("PV"). The Company's PV is the estimated present value of total
     assets. The PV of the Company as of December 31, 1997, assuming no changes
     in interest rates, was $271.8 million.

(3)  Calculated as the increase (decrease) of the NPV ratio assuming the
     indicated change in interest rates over the estimated NPV ratio assuming no
     change in interest rates.

     Under OTS regulations, an institution's "normal" level of interest rate
risk (in the event of an assumed change in interest rates) is a decrease in the
institution's NPV in an amount not exceeding 2% of the present value of its
assets. Thrift institutions with greater that "normal" interest rate exposure
must make a deduction for total capital available to meet risk-based capital
requirements. The amount of that deduction is one-half of the difference between
(i) the institution's actual calculated exposure to a 200 basis point interest
rate increase or decrease (whichever results in the greater pro forma decrease
in NPV) and (ii) its "normal" level of exposure which is 2% of the present value
of its assets. The rule will not become effective until the OTS evaluates the
process by which savings associations may appeal an interest rate reduction
determination. It is uncertain as to when this evaluation may be completed.
Savings institutions, however, with less that $300 million in assets and total
risk based capital ratio in excess if 12%, such as the Company, are generally
not subject to this requirement. If the Company had been subject to this
requirement as December 31, 1997, its interest rate risk would have been
considered "normal" and no adjustment to its risk-based capital would have been
required.

     Certain assumptions utilized by the OTS in assessing the interest rate of
thrift institutions were employed in preparing the preceding table. These
assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay
rates, and the market values of certain assets under the various interest rate
scenarios. It was also assumed that delinquency rates will not change as a
result of changes in interest rates although there can be no assurance that the
Company's assets and liabilities would perform as set forth above. In addition,
a change in U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a
change in the shape of the Treasury yield curve would cause significantly
different changes to the NPV than indicated above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments and prepayments on loans and securities and, to a lesser extent,
borrowings and proceeds from the sale of securities. While maturities and
scheduled amortization of loans and securities provide an indication of the
timing of the receipt of funds, other sources of funds such as loan prepayments
and deposit inflows are less predictable due to the effects of changes in
interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

     The primary investing activities of the Company are the origination of real
estate and other loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed and other securities
which are included in securities held to maturity or securities available for
sale. During the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company's
disbursements for loan originations and purchases totalled $60.6 million, $57.7
million, and $16.1 million, respectively. For the years ended 


                                       11



<PAGE>


December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, purchases of mortgage-backed securities
totalled $4.0 million, $36.4 million and $46.6 million, respectively. These
activities were funded primarily by net deposit inflows, borrowings and
principal repayments and prepayments on loans and securities.

     For the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company experienced net
increases in deposits (including the effect of interest credited) of $19.5
million and $5.1 million respectively. Proceeds from FHLB advances were $5.0
million in 1997 and $25.0 million in 1996.

     The Bank may borrow funds from the FHLB subject to certain limitations.
Based on the level of qualifying collateral available to secure advances at
December 31, 1997, the Bank's borrowing limit from the FHLB was approximately
$81.0 million, with unused borrowing capacity of $49.0 million at that date.
Other sources of liquidity include borrowings under repurchase agreements and
proceeds from sales of securities available for sale.

     The Bank is required by Section 6 of the Home Owner's Loan Act ("HOLA") to
hold a prescribed amount of statutorily defined liquid assets. The Director of
the OTS may, by regulation, vary the amount of the liquidity requirement, but
only within pre-established statutory limits. The requirement must be no less
that four percent and no greater than ten percent of the Bank's net withdrawable
accounts and borrowings payable on demand or with unexpired maturities of one
year or less. On and effective November 24, 1997, the OTS issued a final rule
that updated, simplified, and streamlined its liquidity requirements.
Specifically, the OTS reduced the liquidity requirement from 5% of net
withdrawable accounts and short term borrowings to 4%. The final rule also
removed the one percent short-term liquidity requirement, set forth an explicit
requirement that thrifts maintain a safe and sound level of liquidity,
streamlined the calculations used to measure compliance with the liquidity
requirement, expanded the categories of liquid assets that may count toward
satisfying the liquidity requirement, and reduced the liquidity base by
excluding withdrawable accounts payable in more than one year from the
definition of the term "net withdrawable accounts." The OTS also removed its
maturity requirement for obligations of the United States and certain agencies
of the United States. In order to qualify under prior regulations, such
obligations had to be maturing in 5 years or less. The removal of this
requirement had the greatest impact on the Bank's liquid assets. The Bank's
average liquidity ratio was 40.2% and 7.4% at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The drastic change between these ratios represents the effect of
the final liquidity rule.

     The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which
include interest-bearing deposits and short-term highly liquid investments (such
as federal funds) with original maturities of less than three months that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The level of these assets is
dependent on the Company's operating, financing and investing activities during
any given period. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, cash and cash equivalents
totalled $6.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

     At December 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding loan origination
commitments of $11.1 million, $1.4 million undisbursed construction loans in
process, unfunded commercial business lines of $2.0 million, and unadvanced
lines of credit of $16.2 million. The Company anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination and other
commitments. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less
from December 31, 1997 totalled $92.8 million. Based on the Company's most
recent experience and pricing strategy, management believes that a significant
portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.

                       WAYNE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wayne
Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings Bank,
F.S.B. (the Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings
Financial Services Group, Inc. (the Subsidiary). All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   Business

     The Company conducts business primarily through the Bank, which is a
federally chartered savings bank, that provides a full range of banking services
to individual and corporate customers through its branches in northern New
Jersey. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions; it
is also subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergoes
periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The Subsidiary provides
financial and investment planning services and market securities, life and
health insurance products.

   Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

     As more fully described in Note 2, the Bank converted from a mutual to
stock form of ownership on June 27, 1996 and 100% of its outstanding common
stock was acquired by the Company. As a stock institution and as a result of the
public offering of the stock of the holding company upon completion of its stock
offering, the holding company is subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated
financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated statements of financial condition for the periods then ended.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.

     Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses
and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in
settlement of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for
loan losses and real estate owned (REO), management generally obtains
independent appraisals for significant properties.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents, for purposes of the consolidated statements of
cash flows, consist of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in
other banks and Federal funds sold.

   Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock

     The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB), is
required to hold shares of capital stock of the FHLB based on a specified
formula.

   Securities Held to Maturity

     Securities held to maturity are carried at the outstanding principal
balance, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Premiums and discounts are recognized using the level yield method over the
estimated lives of the securities. Securities held to maturity are carried at
outstanding principal balance because it is management's intention, and the
Company has the ability, to hold them to maturity.


   Securities Available for Sale

     Securities that are held for indefinite periods of time but not intended to
be held to maturity are classified as available for sale. Securities held for
indefinite periods of time include securities that management intends to use as


                                       18

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)


part of its asset/liability management strategy, including liquidity management
strategy, and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity
needs, and other factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair
value and unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax effect, on such
securities are excluded from earnings, but are included in equity. Upon
realization, such gains or losses are included in earnings using the specific
identification method.

     In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued "Special
Report-A--Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" within which there was offered
transition guidance permitting an enterprise to reassess the appropriateness of
all of its securities before December 31, 1995. The Company reassessed its
classifications and in December of 1995, it transferred securities previously
classified as held to maturity, with an amortized cost of $51.4 million to the
available for sale classification. The related unrealized gain on the securities
transferred, net of related tax effect was approximately $19,000 which has been
recognized and reported as a separate component of equity.

   Loans Receivable

     Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balance less undisbursed
loan funds, net deferred loan origination and commitment fees and the allowance
for loan losses.

     The accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued when certain
factors indicate reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of such income
(generally when loans are greater than ninety days delinquent). Interest income
previously accrued on these loans, but not yet received, is reversed in the
current period. Any interest subsequently collected is credited to income in the
period of recovery. Loans are returned to accrual status when collectibility is
no longer considered doubtful.

   Loan Origination and Commitment Fees and Related Costs

     Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the
net fee or cost is recognized in interest income using the level yield method
over the contractual lives of the specifically identified loans adjusted for
prepayments.

   Allowance for Loan Losses

     The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on the Company's
past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of
any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Additions to the
allowance arise from charges to operations through the provision for loan losses
or from the recovery of amounts previously charged off. The allowance is reduced
by loan charge-offs. Loans are charged off when management believes there has
been permanent impairment of their carrying values.

     Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions in the Company's market area. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their routine examination process, periodically
review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the
Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examination.

     The Company has defined the population of impaired loans to be all
nonaccrual commercial real estate and multi-family loans. Impaired loans are
individually assessed to determine that the loan's carrying value is not in
excess of the fair value of the collateral or the present value of the loan's
expected future cash flows. Smaller balance homogeneous loans that are
collectively evaluated for impairment, such as residential mortgage loans and
consumer loans, are specifically excluded from the impaired loan portfolio.
There were no loans classified as impaired by the Company at December 31, 1997
and 1996.

   Real Estate Owned

     Real estate owned (REO) acquired through foreclosure on loans secured by
real estate is reported at the lower of cost or fair value, as established by a
current appraisal, less estimated cost to sell. An allowance for REO has been


                                       19

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)


established to record subsequent declines in estimated net realizable value.
Carrying costs are generally expensed as incurred. Additions to the allowance
for REO losses, and carrying costs are included in real estate owned operations,
net in the consolidated statements of income.

   Premises and Equipment

     Premises and equipment, including leasehold improvements, are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and
amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets or leases. Repair and maintenance items are expensed
and improvements are capitalized.

   Income Taxes
 
     The Company files a consolidated Federal income tax return. State income
tax returns are filed on a separate basis. Income taxes are accounted for under
the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.

   Earnings Per Share

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share"
("SFAS 128") issued in 1996, establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock
or potential common stock. SFAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS
with a presentation of basic EPS and requires dual presentation of basic EPS and
diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex
capital structures. For purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, the
weighted average number of common shares, for the year ended December 31, 1997,
was 1,873,333. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the
weighted average number of common shares, for the year ended December 31, 1997,
was 1,894,826. The Company adopted SFAS 128 as of December 31, 1997. The Company
completed its initial public offering on June 27, 1996, and accordingly, per
share data is not presented for any periods prior to the year ended December 31,
1996.

   Stock-Based Compensation

     In October 1996, the FASB issued Statement 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123"). SFAS 123 encourages recording in current period
earnings compensation expense related to the fair value of certain stock-based
compensation. Companies may choose to follow the provision of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25"), where compensation expense is not recorded for certain stock-based
compensation plans. However, companies are required to disclose pro forma net
income and earnings per share as if they adopted the fair value based method of
accounting. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based
compensation under APB 25 and the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS 123
have been included in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

   Reclassifications

     Certain amounts relating to the 1996 and 1995 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.


(2) STOCK CONVERSION

     On June 27, 1996 the Company completed an initial public offering. The
offering resulted in the sale of 2,231,383 shares of common stock including the
sale of 178,511 shares to the Company's tax qualified Employee 


                                       20

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)


Stock Benefit Plan and Trust (the "ESOP"). Proceeds of the offering, net of
expenses, were approximately $21.0 million of which $1.8 million was loaned to
the ESOP by the Company to fund the purchase of the shares.

     At the time of the offering the Company was required to establish a
liquidation account in an amount equal to its total equity as of the date of the
latest statement of financial condition appearing in the final prospectus used
in connection with the conversion. The liquidation account is maintained for the
benefit of eligible account holders or supplemental eligible account holders who
continue to maintain their accounts at the Company after the conversion. The
liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible account
holders or supplemental eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying
deposits as of each anniversary date. Subsequent increases will not restore an
eligible account holder's or supplemental eligible account holder's interest in
the liquidation account. In the unlikely event of a liquidation of the Company
(a circumstance not envisioned or expected by management), each eligible account
holder or supplemental eligible account holder would be entitled to receive a
distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the
current adjusted qualifying balances of accounts of all eligible account holders
or supplemental eligible account holders then holding qualifying deposits in the
Company. The balance of the liquidation account at December 31, 1997 was
approximately $12.2 million.

prepayments.

     The following table presents a reconciliation between the effective income
tax expense and the computed "expected" Federal income tax expense which is
computed by applying the normal Federal income tax rate of 34% to income before
income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

                                                         1997     1996     1995

Effective tax rate ..................................     38.3%   37.7%    36.0%

     Retained earnings at December 31, 1997 includes approximately $4,517,000 of
income that has not been subject to tax because of deductions for bad debts
allowed for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes have not been provided on
such bad debt deductions since the Company does not intend to use the
accumulated bad debt deductions for purposes other than to absorb loan losses.
If this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to
absorb bad debt losses, taxes would be imposed on such amounts. If triggered,
the tax liability related to the appropriated earnings would have been
$1,626,000 at December 31, 1997.

     Legislation was enacted in 1996, which repealed, for tax purposes, the
percentage of taxable income bad debt reserve method. The Company is required to
recapture the post 1987 build up to its tax bad debt reserves. This deferred tax
liability has been accrued for under SFAS 109.

     The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31,
1997 and 1996 are as follows:

     Management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will
realize the benefit of net deductible temporary differences and that such net
deductible temporary differences will reverse during periods in which the
Company generates net taxable income. Management has projected that the Company
will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the net deferred tax asset
and no valuation allowance is considered necessary.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN ("ESOP")

     The Company used a portion of the net proceeds for a loan directly to the
Company for the ESOP to enable the ESOP to purchase 8% of the common stock in
the conversion. Based upon the issuance of 2,231,383 shares, the amount of the
loan to the ESOP was $1.8 million to be repaid over a ten year period at an
interest rate of 8.25%. In 1997, 18,057 shares were allocated. Contributions for
1997 were $357,000.

MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION PROGRAM ("MRP")

     The Company established the Company Management Recognition Program on
February 25, 1997 as a method of providing officers and directors of the Company
with a proprietary interest in the Company. The MRP is designed to encourage the
participants to remain with the Company. The MRP purchased a total of 4% or
89,254 common shares of the Company in the open market at cost of $1.5 million.
Awards to plan participants vest at a rate of 20% per year commencing one year
from the date of the award. As awards vest, the Company recognizes an employee
benefit expense in an amount equal to the cost basis of the stock. The expense
recognized for vested benefits amounted to $188,000 for the period from March 1,
1997 to December 31, 1997. 

STOCK OPTION PLAN

     The Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan was adopted on February 25, 1997
and provides for the granting of options to directors and officers of the
Company. Under the terms of the plan, options may be granted at not less than
fair market value on the date of the grant.

     The Plan authorizes the grant of stock options with respect to 223,138
shares of common stock of the Company, equal to 10% of the shares of common
stock issued in the Conversion. Options granted under the Plan are exercisable
on a cumulative basis in equal installments at a rate of 20% per year commencing
one year from date of grant, except that in the event of termination of
employment other than as result of death, disability, retirement or a change in

     The Company applies APB 25 in accounting for the Plan. Consistent with SFAS
123, if compensation cost for the Plan was included as compensation expense, the
Company's net income and earnings per share, for the year ended December 31,
1997, would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

                                                                           1997
                                                                          ------

Diluted earnings per share
  As reported .......................................................     $ 1.03
  Pro forma .........................................................       0.95


     The fair value of stock options granted by the Company was estimated
through the use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model that takes into
account the following factors as of the grant date: the exercise price and the
expected life of the option, the market price of the underlying stock at the
grant date and its expected volatility, and the risk-free interest rate for the
expected term of the option. In deriving the fair value of the stock options,
the stock price at the grant date is reduced by the value of the dividends to be
paid during the life of the option. The following assumptions were used for
grants in 1997: dividend yield of 3.0%, expected volatility of 20.0% and the
risk free interest rate of 5.84%. The effects of applying SFAS 123 on the pro
forma net income may not be representative of the effect on pro forma net income
for future years or any other period.

(13) REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     OTS regulations require savings institutions to maintain minimum levels of
regulatory capital. Under the regulations in effect at December 31, 1997, the
Bank was required to maintain a minimum ratio of tangible capital to total
adjusted assets of 1.5%; a minimum ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to total
adjusted assets of 3.0%; and a minimum ratio of total (core and supplementary)
capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)


     Under its prompt corrective action regulations, the OTS is required to take
certain supervisory actions (and may take additional discretionary actions) with
respect to an undercapitalized institution. Such actions could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's financial statements. The regulations establish a
framework for the classification of savings institutions into five categories:
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Generally, a bank is
considered well capitalized if it has a Tier 1 (core) capital ratio of a least
5.0%; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of a least 6.0%; and a total risk-based
capital ratio of at least 10.0%.

     The foregoing capital ratios are based in part on specific quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the OTS about
capital components, risk weightings and other factors.

     Management believes that, as of December 31, 1997, the Bank meets all
capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Further, the most recent
OTS notification categorized the Bank as a well capitalized institution under
the prompt corrective action regulations. There have been no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's
capital classification.

     OTS regulations impose limitations on all capital distributions, such as
cash dividends, payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire shares, payments to
stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions
charged against capital.

     The following is a summary of the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, compared with the OTS minimum capital adequacy
requirements and the OTS requirements for classification as a well capitalized
institution.

     Rental expense under operating leases, included in occupancy expense in the
consolidated statements of income was $290,000, $253,000 and $249,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

   Contingencies

     In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding legal
proceedings, claims, commitments and contingent liabilities such as commitments
to extend credit which are not included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial condition,
results of operations and liquidity of the Company and its subsidiary will not
be materially affected by the outcome of such legal proceedings and claims or by
such commitments and contingent liabilities.

   Concentrations of Credit Risk

     A substantial portion of the Company's loans are one- to four-family
residential first mortgage loans secured by real estate located primarily in New
Jersey. Accordingly, the collectibility of a substantial portion of the
Company's loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the
carrying amount of REO are susceptible to changes in real estate market
conditions.

(15) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for the
Company's financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate those
values.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and
Federal funds sold, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

   Securities Held to Maturity and Securities Available for Sale

     The fair value of securities held to maturity and securities available for
sale was based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a
quoted market price or dealer quote was not available, fair value was estimated
using quoted market prices of similar securities.

   Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock

     The fair value for FHLB stock is its carrying value, since this is the
amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock
and the Bank is required to maintain a minimum balance based on the unpaid
principal of home mortgage loans.

   Loans

     Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial
characteristics. Loans were segregated by type. Each loan category was further
segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms. Fair value of
adjustable rate mortgage loans was determined to approximate their carrying
value.

     The fair value of fixed rate loans was determined by discounting the
scheduled cash flows through the contractual maturity, adjusted for estimated
prepayments, using estimated market discount rates that reflect the risk
inherent in the loan type, taking into account the credit grade and maturity.

     The fair value of nonperforming loans was determined by discounting the
estimated future cash flows after adjusting for collection costs and risk of
nonpayment.

   Deposit Liabilities

     The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings,
noninterest bearing demand, NOW and money market deposit accounts, is equal to
the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based
on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining
maturities.

   Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

     The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances approximates the carrying
value.

     The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 are presented in the following table. Since the fair
value of off-balance-sheet commitments are not material, these disclosures are
not included.

   Limitations

     Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.
These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the
Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments
regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.

     These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

     Fair value estimates are based on existing on-balance-sheet financial
instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future
business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments. The tax ramifications related to the realization of the
unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value
estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

(16) PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Wayne Bancorp, Inc. (the parent company) was incorporated for the purpose
of acquiring the Bank in connection with the Bank's conversion from a mutual
form of ownership to a stock form of ownership. The following information on the
parent only financial statements as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and for the period June 27, 1996 to December 31,
1996, should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial
statements.

(17) SAVINGS ASSOCIATION INSURANCE FUND (SAIF) RECAPITALIZATION ASSESSMENT

     On September 30, 1996, the President signed into law the Deposit Insurance
Funds Act of 1996 (the "Funds Act") which, among other things, imposes a special
one-time assessment on SAIF member institutions, including the Company, to
recapitalize the SAIF. As required by the Funds Act, the FDIC imposed a special
assessment of 65.7 basis points on SAIF assessable deposits held as of March 31,
1995, payable November 27, 1996. The special assessment was recognized as an
expense in the third quarter of 1996 and was tax deductible. The Company
incurred a pre tax charge of $1.0 million as a result of the FDIC special
assessment.

     The Funds Act also spreads the obligations for payment of the Financing
Corporation ("FICO") bonds across all SAIF and BIF members. Beginning January 1,
1997, BIF deposits will be assessed for FICO payments at a rate of 20% of the
rate assessed on SAIF deposits. BIF deposits are currently assessed a FICO
payment of 1.3 basis points, while SAIF deposits pay an estimated 6.5 basis
points on the FICO bonds. Full pro rata sharing of the FICO payments between BIF
and SAIF members will occur on the earlier of January 1, 2000 or the date the
BIF and SAIF are merged. The Funds Act specifies that the BIF and SAIF will be
merged on January 1, 1999 provided no savings associations remain as of that
time.

     As a result of the Funds Act, and recently passed legislation, SAIF
assessments were lowered to 0 to 27 basis points effective January 1, 1997, a
range comparable to that of BIF members. However, SAIF members will continue to
make the higher FICO payments described above. Management cannot predict the
level of FDIC insurance assessments on an on-going basis, whether the savings
association charter will be eliminated, or whether the BIF and SAIF will
eventually be merged. The Company paid $92,000, $393,000 and $368,000 in Federal
deposit insurance premiums for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

(19) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June, 1996 the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (SFAS No.
125). SFAS 125 amends portions of SFAS 115, amends and extends to all servicing
assets and liabilities the accounting standards for mortgage servicing rights
now in SFAS 65, and supersedes SFAS 122. The statement provides consistent
standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets which are sales

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)


from transfers that are secured borrowings. Those standards are based upon
consistent application of a financial components approach that focuses on
control. The statement also defines accounting treatment for servicing assets
and other retained interest in the assets that are transferred. As issued, SFAS
125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996 and is to be
applied prospectively. In December 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 127, "Deferral
of the Effective Date of Certain Provision of FASB Statement No. 125; an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 125" which defers for one year the effective
date (a) of paragraph 15 of SFAS No. 125 and (b) for repurchase agreement,
dollar-roll, securities lending and similar transactions, of paragraphs 9-12 and
237(b) of SFAS No. 125. The adoption of SFAS 125 did not have a material effect
on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), 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. SFAS 130
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. SFAS 130 does not require a specific format for that financial
statement but requires that an enterprise display an amount representing total
comprehensive income for the period in that financial statement. SFAS 130
requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by
their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional
paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. SFAS
130 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997 and is not expected
to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Wayne Bancorp, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of Wayne Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1997. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wayne
Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     As of February 11, 1998, there were 2,013,823 shares of common stock
outstanding and 492 stockholders of record, not including the number of persons
or entities whose stock is held in nominee or "street" name through various

     The Company's ability to pay dividends to stockholders is dependent upon
the earnings from investments and dividends it receives from the Bank.
Accordingly, restrictions on the Bank's ability to pay cash dividends directly
affect the payment of cash dividends by the Company. The Bank may not declare or
pay a dividend if the effect would cause the Bank's regulatory capital to be
reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account established in
connection with the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form or the
regulatory capital requirements imposed by the OTS. The Company paid quarterly
dividends of $0.05 per share for the last three quarters of 1997.
