                           RIVER FOREST BANCORP, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

    The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Condition, Income and Cash
    Flows are unaudited.  The interim financial statements reflect all
    adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in
    the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results
    for the interim periods presented.  The condensed consolidated financial
    statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
    statements and notes thereto included in River Forest Bancorp, Inc.'s
    consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31,
    1994 included in Bancorp's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended
    December 31, 1994.  The results of operations for the interim periods
    should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full
    year.


    Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
    weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
    (dilutive stock options) outstanding during the respective periods.

    Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1994 financial statements
    to conform to current accounting classifications.

2.  Goodwill

    In the second quarter of 1995,  an additional  $3.0 million of goodwill
    was recorded for the 1993 acquisition of Belmont National Bank.  The
    additional goodwill was the result of the settlement of contingencies
    related to the purchase.  The original purchase price was contingent upon
    the performance of certain specified loans and assets during the
    post-acquisition period.  The additional goodwill is being amortized over
    the remaining term of the original goodwill period of 15 years.

3.  Stock Split

    On August 16, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
    split, which was payable to shareholders on September 22, 1995.  All
    references in prior periods to the number of shares and per share amounts
    have been restated to reflect the effect of the split.

For the first nine months of 1995, Bancorp had $8.9 million of interest income
from the accretion of acquisition discount related to several groups of
non-performing student loan pools compared with $1.5 million in the same period
in 1994.  However, the first nine months of 1995 had no interest rate floor or
cap income compared with $2.3 million for the same period in 1994.

The following table represents a reconciliation of fully tax equivalent net
interest income:

For the third quarter, noninterest income was at approximately the same level
as 1994 as income from guarantee payments related to several pools of
non-performing student loans was offset by a lower net gain from sales of other
real estate owned.  For the first nine months of 1995, noninterest income
increased $0.4 million primarily due to the income from the non-performing
student loan guarantee payments.

            THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994


In the third quarter, noninterest expense increased $2.5 million to $13.1
million, compared with $10.6 million in 1994.  The change was primarily
attributable to increased compensation expense, which has risen due to the
implementation of performance-based compensation plans and increased staffing
in Bancorp's  lending operations.  FDIC insurance expense decreased due to the
receipt of a $1.1 million refund as FDIC premiums were reduced.  The reduction
in FDIC premiums is expected to reduce FDIC insurance expense by more than $3.0
million annually.  Other expenses increased due to costs associated with the
increased lending activity and higher advertising expenses for the Ultimate
Money Market Account.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, noninterest expense increased
$5.5 million to $38.3 million, compared with $32.8 million in 1994.  The
increase was due to increased compensation in Bancorp's lending operations,
other costs related to the increased lending activity and increased advertising
for the Ultimate Money Market Account.

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1995 was 35.6% versus 34.8%
in 1994.  The increase in the effective tax rate was mainly due to a decrease
in tax-exempt income earned on state and municipal securities.

</TABLE>

Total loans at September 30, 1995 were $1.44 billion, an increase of $335.3
million, or 30.5%, from year-end. The loan growth is primarily attributable to
Bancorp's decision to emphasize the commercial real estate and home equity loan
programs.

At September 30, 1995, total securities were $383.6 million, down 23.2% from
$499.4 million at December 31, 1994 as Bancorp continues to emphasize its
lending activities. U.S. Treasury and government agency securities constituted
58.1% of total securities, municipal and tax-advantaged securities  comprised
2.4%, and other debt and equity securities comprised 39.5%.   Included in the
available-for-sale securities were approximately $30.9 million of investments
in equity securities of publicly traded banks.   As of September 30, 1995,
Bancorp had minority investments in 24 different banks with unrealized holding
gains of approximately $8.7 million.  Gains of $0.2 million were recognized  on
sales of these securities during the first nine months of 1995.

In light of the increased loans outstanding and the greater risk embodied
within some of the loans, management decided that a $1.5 million provision was
prudent during the third quarter of 1995.

Non-performing Assets

The following table presents a summary of non-performing assets. Non-performing
loans are nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and 90 days or more past due
loans still accruing interest. Excluded from the table are student loans that
Bancorp has no reason to believe have lost their guarantee. Guaranteed student
loans more than 90 days past due and not included in the table totaled $20.2,
$13.9 and $9.4 million at September 30, 1995, December 31, 1994 and September
30, 1994, respectively.

Included under the September 30, 1995 columns is $5.4 million of non-accrual
student loans that may have lost their guarantees. This potential loss of
guarantees was the result of certain, since terminated, personnel in the
student loan servicing area who falsified some records of telephone calls to
students whose loans were delinquent. While the rules of student loan servicing
are complex, one of the cornerstones of the business is contacting students
regarding the status of their delinquent loans. These contacts, and a detailed
record of such telephone calls, are crucial actions required to maintain the
enforceability of the guarantee.

In order to assure that a problem of this nature never occurs again, Bancorp    
has implemented a sophisticated computer system which, among other things,
checks all calls logged by servicing representatives against calls actually
made. The system then automatically generates an exception list detailing all
differences between logged calls and actual calls. All exceptions are resolved
immediately.

As to whether the aforementioned student loans have actually lost their
guarantee is a complicated and, presently, unclear issue. Bancorp informed the
Department of Education (ED) immediately upon the discovery of the problem.
Moreover, the ED is aware that management was not involved in the falsification
of the telephone records.  Bancorp is fully cooperating with the ED in their
investigation of the problem. Based on the preceding aspects of the issue, as
well as various related elements, management believes that the ED should agree
that the affected student loans never lost their guarantee and/or allow the
affected student loans to be cured (i.e., the guarantee to be reinstated).

In January 1994, a group of non-performing student loans were purchased for
$13.5 million, a substantial discount from their face value of approximately
$150 million.  At September 30, 1995, $41.0 million of these loans were
converted to performing status.  Management is diligently working to convert
additional loans to performing status and, currently, has through November 30,
1995 to complete the conversion of such loans to performing status.  This
deadline,  established by the Department of Education,  might be extended until
November 30, 1998.  The excess of performing loans converted over the cost is
being accreted into income over the estimated lives of the loans using the
level-yield method.

Deposits

The following table details the composition of deposit products by type.  The
growth in the money market category is primarily due to the aggressive
marketing of the Ultimate Money Market Account that is indexed to the 91-day
Treasury Bill rate.  In the third quarter of 1995, Bancorp purchased $30.0
million of retail certificates of deposit.  Management intends to purchase
additional retail certificates of deposit as a component  of the funding of
Bancorp's strong loan growth.

</TABLE>


Federal funds purchased decreased to zero as compared with $6.7 million at
December 31, 1994 and $25.5 million at September 30, 1994.  The decrease in
federal funds purchased since year-end is mainly attributable to  increased
security sales from  the available-for-sale portfolio.  The decrease over the
prior year level is due to increased security sales from the available-for-sale
portfolio as well as seasonal fluctuations in liquidity.  The balances of
Treasury tax and loan note option accounts fluctuate with the number and
magnitude of the Federal Reserve Bank's call payments.

Capital

Bancorp's consolidated leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital/total average quarterly
assets) was 8.83% at September 30, 1995, well above the minimum regulatory
level of 5%. Consolidated Tier 1 and total risk-based capital were 12.82% and
14.07%, respectively, exceeding the well-capitalized Tier 1 and total
risk-based capital ratios of 6.00% and 10.00%, respectively.

In September 1995, Bancorp effected a two-for-one stock split in the form of a
100% stock dividend.  Also, during the third quarter of 1995, Bancorp
repurchased 164,000 shares of common stock, or 1.1%  of shares outstanding,
under the previously announced 1,000,000 share repurchase program that was
approved by the Board of Directors.

Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $98.4 million for the first
nine months of 1995, compared with cash used in operating activities of $14.7
million for the same period in 1994.  The change was primarily attributable to
fluctuations in the level of trading account securities.  The decrease in other
assets in 1995 was primarily due to the prepayment in 1994 of six months of
1995's FDIC insurance premiums.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $268.2 million for the first nine
months of 1995 compared with $264.0 million in 1995.  In 1995, the investing
focus shifted to loans from securities.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $73.0 million for the first
nine months of 1995, compared with $236.7 million in 1994.  The decrease is 
primarily attributable to the slowdown in growth of the Ultimate Money Market 
Account. During the first nine months of 1995, Bancorp repurchased 164,000 
common shares.
