                           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, 1995 included in Bancorp's
   Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The
   results of operations for the interim period 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 1995 financial statements to 
   conform to current accounting classifications.

2. Student Loan Investigation

   As disclosed in previous SEC filings, Bancorp discovered that certain former 
   employees in the student loan servicing area had falsified some records of
   telephone calls from late 1993 to April 1994 to students whose loans were
   delinquent.  The telephone calls are a required action to maintain the
   enforceability of a student loan's government guarantee.  Bancorp terminated
   the employees involved and informed the U.S. Department of Education
   immediately upon discovery of the problem and the Department commenced an
   investigation.

   Bancorp believes that the Department's investigation has been expanded to    
   include a review of whether Bancorp's student loan division has engaged in
   improper practices since 1988, including whether information contained on
   guarantee claim forms may have been falsified.  If there have been improper
   practices, Bancorp could lose its government guarantees with respect to
   certain student loans and Bancorp or individual employees could be subject
   to substantial penalties.

   Bancorp does not condone or permit such improper practices and is
   cooperating  fully with the investigation.  Bancorp is actively working to
   implement procedures designed to minimize the likelihood that such practices
   can occur in the future.

   At March 31, 1996, Bancorp had $8.9 million of student loans on nonaccrual   
   status that may have lost their guarantees.  Based on all currently
   available information, management is unable to predict the amount or range
   of Bancorp's ultimate loss.

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, Bancorp had $4.1 million of
interest income from the accretion of acquisition discount related to several
groups of previously nonperforming purchased student loan pools compared with
$2.4 million in the first quarter of 1995.  Excluding the accretion of the
acquisition discount, the net interest margin was 4.99% and 4.24% for the
quarterly periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.


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

For the first quarter of 1996, noninterest income increased $2.2 million to
$5.4 million, compared with $3.1 million for the first quarter of 1995.  Gains
on the dispositions of loans increased $732,000 in 1996.  These gains are the
result of payments made by guarantee agencies for student loan borrowers that
defaulted.  Other income decreased $1.0 million in 1996 primarily due to a
$713,000 gain on the sale of a section of a bank parking lot in the first
quarter of 1995.  In the first quarter of 1996, securities and other financial
instruments gains included a gain of $1.3 million from interest rate swaps that
did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  These swap agreements were
terminated in the first quarter of 1996.

In the first quarter of 1996, noninterest expense increased $565,000 to $12.9
million, compared with $12.3 million in 1995.  Compensation expense increased
$1.0 million to $6.8 million in the first quarter of 1996.  This increase was
due to the implementation of performance-based compensation plans and increased
staffing in Bancorp's lending operations.  FDIC deposit insurance decreased
$895,000 to $4,000 due to the elimination of premiums for Bancorp's banks.  The
banks are currently required to pay only administrative fees for their FDIC
insurance.  Goodwill amortization increased $164,000 to $663,000 primarily due
to additional goodwill that was recorded in the second quarter of 1995 for the
acquisition of Belmont National Bank.

The effective tax rate for the first three months of 1996 was 35.3% versus
35.0% in 1994.  The slight increase in the effective tax rate was mainly due to
the additional goodwill amortization in 1996.

</TABLE>

Total loans at March 31, 1996 were $1.60 billion, an increase of $44.3 million,
or 2.8%, from year-end 1995.  From time to time, Bancorp has purchased
nonperforming student loans.  Bancorp attempts to convert these loans to
performing status and have their guarantees reinstated.  The excess of the
amount of performing loans converted over the cost of the loans is accreted
into income over the estimated lives of the loans using the level-yield method.
The total discount to be accreted into income in future periods totaled $28.8
million at March 31, 1996.

At March 31, 1996, total securities were $349.2 million, down 7.9% from $379.0
million at December 31, 1995.  This decrease was due to the maturity of $36.0
million of U.S. Treasury notes on March 31, 1996.  These funds were not
reinvested on that day due to it being a Sunday.  At March 31, 1996, there was
$45.3 million of investments in equity securities of publicly-traded bank
holding companies included in the available for sale securities classification.
Bancorp had minority investments in 32 companies with unrealized holding gains
of $11.4 million.  A gain of $405,000 was recognized on sales of these
securities during the first three months of 1996.

</TABLE>

The $4.0 million provision for loan losses during the first quarter was deemed
prudent by management.  The provision generally reflects higher levels of
credit risk in the loan portfolio, primarily due to increasing loan volumes and
emerging weakness in the home equity loan sector, combined with aggressive
marketing initiatives to develop business in the commercial real estate sector,
as well as consideration given to the loss potential resulting from the student
loan investigation described in Note 2 in the Notes to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nonperforming Assets

The table on the following page presents a summary of nonperforming assets'
book value.  Nonperforming 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 $12.4, $13.9 and $14.8 million at March 31, 1996,
December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995, respectively.

</TABLE>

The increase in the percentage of certificates of deposit to total deposits at
March 31, 1996 was due to an increase in retail certificates of deposit
obtained from brokers.  At March 31, 1996, Bancorp had $219.8 million of retail
certificates of deposit.  Management intends to obtain additional retail
certificates of deposit and pursue other outside funding sources to support
loan growth.

Capital

Bancorp's consolidated leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital/total average quarterly
assets) was 8.49% at March 31, 1996, well in excess of the minimum regulatory
level of 5%.  The consolidated Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were
12.61% and 13.86%, respectively, exceeding the well-capitalized Tier 1 and
total risk-based capital ratios of 6.00% and 10.00%, respectively.

During the first quarter of 1996, Bancorp repurchased 202,000 shares of common
stock, or 1.3% of shares outstanding at December 31, 1995, under the previously
announced 1,000,000 share repurchase program that was approved by the Board of
Directors.  As of March 31, 1996, a total of 417,500 shares had been purchased
under the program.

Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $20.6 million for the first
three months of 1996, compared with $86.7 million for the same period in 1995.
The change was primarily attributable to fluctuations in the level of trading
account securities.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $10.0 million for the first three
months of 1996, compared with $194.3 million in 1995.  The decrease was due to
a net cash inflow of $31.8 million from securities activities for the first
three months of 1996 compared with a net outflow of $86.3 million for the same
period in 1995 and a lower level of loan originations net of repayments in
1996.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $34.3 million for the first
three months of 1996, compared with cash used in financing activities of $12.8
million in 1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
retail certificates of deposit.  During the first three months of 1996, Bancorp
repurchased 202,000 common shares.
