                       MAF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring  accruals)  necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996.

The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of MAF Bancorp, Inc.
("Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mid America Federal Savings Bank
and subsidiaries  ("Bank") and MAF  Developments,  Inc., as of and for the three
and nine month  periods  ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and as of June 30,  1995.
All material  intercompany  balances and  transactions  have been  eliminated in
consolidation.

(2)  ACCOUNTING CHANGES

On July 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", and SFAS No.
118,  "Accounting  by Creditors for Impairment of  Loan-Income  Recognition  and
Disclosures".  SFAS No. 114 addresses the accounting by creditors for impairment
of certain loans.  The Company had previously  measured such loans in accordance
with the methods  prescribed by SFAS No. 114. Impaired loans within the scope of
SFAS No. 114 should be measured  based on the present value of future cash flows
discounted  at the loan's  effective  interest  rate or,  alternatively,  at the
loan's observable market price or fair value of the supporting collateral.  SFAS
No. 118 permits the Company's  existing  interest income  recognition  policy to
continue.  The  adoption  of  these  standards  had no  material  impact  on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.

(3)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

For purposes of computed  earnings per share,  the number of shares  outstanding
for the periods indicated is as follows:

(4)  INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

The Company  accounts for investment and  mortgage-backed  securities under SFAS
No. 115. At March 31, 1996, the Company has no securities classified as trading.
The  Company  determines  the  classification  of new  purchases  of  marketable
securities at the time of purchase.

As  allowed  under  an  implementation  guide  to  SFAS  No.  115,  the  Company
reclassified  an additional  $126.7  million of investment  and  mortgage-backed
securities,  with a market value of $126.5 million,  into its available for sale
category as of December  31, 1995.  The transfer was done to provide  additional
flexibility for the Company in managing its investment and liquidity positions.

(5)  LOANS RECEIVABLE

Most conforming  fixed-rate loans and some  adjustable-rate  loans originated by
the Bank are  identified  as being held for sale and are carried at the lower of
cost or market. At March 31, 1996, $14.8 million of loans are held for sale, and
are reflected at the lower of cost or market.

(6)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the nine months ended March 31, 1996,  1,720  previously  authorized  but
unissued shares were issued for gross proceeds of $9,000, relating to exercising
of stock options by an executive officer of the Company.

On June 28, 1995,  the Company  announced its intent to repurchase up to 100,000
shares of its common  stock.  On November  30,  1995,  the Company  announced an
expansion to this program to allow for the  repurchase  of up to 250,000  shares
through June 30, 1996. During the current nine month period,  all 250,000 shares
were  repurchased,  at an  average  cost of $25.20.  To date,  the  Company  has
repurchased 616,825 shares at an average cost of $22.82 per share.

(7)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At March  31,  1996,  the Bank had  outstanding  commitments  to  originate  and
purchase loans of $168.9 million, of which $106.8 million were fixed-rate loans,
with rates ranging from 6.25% to 9.375%, and $62.1 million were  adjustable-rate
loans. At March 31, 1996, commitments to sell loans were $50.7 million.

At March 31,  1996,  the Bank had  outstanding  nine  standby  letters of credit
totaling  $15.2  million,  two of which  totaled  $13.3  million  to  enhance  a
developer's  industrial revenue bond financings of commercial real estate in the
Bank's market.  These letters of credit are  collateralized  by  mortgage-backed
securities  and  U.S.  Government  and  agency  securities  owned  by the  Bank.
Additionally,  the  Company  had eight  outstanding  standby  letters  of credit
totaling $3.9 million related to real estate development improvements.

(8)  INCOME TAXES

The Company  accounts  for income  taxes under SFAS No. 109. The reasons for the
differences  between the effective  income tax rate  attributable to income from
continuing  operations and the corporate  federal income tax rate are summarized
in the table below.

                       MAF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

MAF Bancorp, Inc. ("Company"),  is a registered savings and loan holding company
incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware and is primarily engaged in
the consumer banking business through its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Mid America
Federal Savings Bank ("Bank") and  secondarily,  in the residential  real estate
development  business  through  MAF  Developments,  Inc.  ("MAF  Developments").
Deposits  of the Bank are  insured up to the  applicable  limits of the  Savings
Association  Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF"),  currently  administered  by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is subject to regulation by the
Office of Thrift  Supervision  ("OTS")  and the FDIC.  The Bank  files  periodic
reports with the OTS regarding its  activities and financial  condition,  and is
subject to periodic examination by both the OTS and the FDIC.

The Bank is a consumer-oriented financial institution offering various financial
services to its customers  through 14 retail banking offices.  The Bank's market
area is generally  defined as the western suburbs of Chicago,  including  DuPage
County,  which has the second  highest  per  capita  income in  Illinois.  It is
principally  engaged in the  business of  attracting  deposits  from the general
public and using such  deposits,  along  with  other  borrowings,  to make loans
secured by real estate, primarily one-to four-family residential mortgage loans.
To a lesser  extent,  the Bank also  makes  multi-family  mortgage,  residential
construction,  land acquisition and development and a variety of consumer loans.
The Bank also has a small portfolio of commercial real estate loans, although in
recent  years it has made new  commercial  real  estate  loans only on a limited
basis.  Through two wholly owned  subsidiaries,  MAF  Developments,  Inc.  ("MAF
Developments")  and  Mid  America  Development  Services,   Inc.  ("Mid  America
Developments"), the Company and the Bank, respectively, are also engaged in real
estate  development  activities.  Additionally,  the Bank  operates an insurance
agency,  Mid America  Insurance  Agency,  Inc., which provides general insurance
services,  and a brokerage  operation  through its  affiliation  with INVEST,  a
registered broker-dealer.

As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank's deposits are insured up to the
applicable limits by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC").  The
Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Chicago, which is one
of  the  twelve  regional  banks  for  federally  insured  savings  institutions
comprising  the FHLB  system.  The Bank is  regulated  by the  Office  of Thrift
Supervision  ("OTS") and the FDIC. The Bank is further regulated by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System as to reserves required to be maintained
against deposits and certain other matters.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The Bank is  subject  to  extensive  regulation  by the OTS,  as its  chartering
authority  and primary  federal  regulator,  and by the FDIC,  which insures its
deposits up to applicable limits. Such regulation and supervision  establishes a
comprehensive  framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is
intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors.  The
regulatory structure also gives the regulatory  authorities extensive discretion
in connection with their supervisory and enforcement  activities.  Any change in
such regulation,  whether by the OTS, the FDIC or Congress could have a material
impact on the Bank and its operations.

CAPITAL STANDARDS.  Savings  associations must meet three capital  requirements;
core and tangible capital to total assets ratios as well as a regulatory capital
to total risk-weighted assets ratio.

        Core Capital Requirement

The  core  capital  requirement,  or the  required  "leverage  limit"  currently
requires a savings  institution  to maintain core capital of not less than 3% of
adjusted total assets.  Core capital  generally  includes  common  stockholders'
equity (including retained earnings),  certain noncumulative perpetual preferred
stock and related surplus and minority interests in the equity accounts of fully
consolidated  subsidiaries,   less  intangibles  other  than  certain  purchased
mortgage servicing rights.  Investments in and loans to subsidiaries  engaged in
activities not permissible for national banks, such as Mid America Developments,
are required to be deducted from total capital over a five-year phase-in period.
See "Deductions from Regulatory Capital on Non-Permissible Activities".

        Tangible Capital Requirement

Under OTS  regulations,  savings  institutions  are  required to meet a tangible
capital  requirement  of 1.5% of  adjusted  total  assets.  Tangible  capital is
defined as core capital less any  intangible  assets,  plus  purchased  mortgage
servicing rights in an amount includable in core capital.

        Risk-Based Capital Requirement

The risk-based capital requirement provides that savings  institutions  maintain
total  capital  equal to not less  than 8% of total  risk-weighted  assets.  For
purposes of the risk-based capital computation, total capital is defined as core
capital,  as defined  above,  plus  supplementary  capital.  The  components  of
supplementary  capital currently include cumulative  preferred stock,  long-term
perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible  securities,  subordinated debt
and intermediate  preferred stock and the allowance for loan loss and lease loss
reserves  (limited  to a  maximum  of  1.25%  of total  risk  weighted  assets.)
Supplementary  capital  included  in total  capital  cannot  exceed 100% of core
capital.

        Interest Rate Risk Component of Regulatory Capital

The OTS regulatory  capital  requirements also incorporate an interest rate risk
component.  Savings institutions with "above normal" interest rate risk exposure
are subject to a deduction from total capital for purposes of calculating  their
risk-based capital requirements.  A savings institution's  interest rate risk is
measured  by the decline in the net  portfolio  value of its assets  (i.e.,  the
difference  between  incoming  and outgoing  discounted  cash flows from assets,
liabilities  and  off-balance   sheet   contracts)  that  would  result  from  a
hypothetical  200 basis point  increase or  decrease  in market  interest  rates
divided  by the  estimated  economic  value  of  the  institution's  assets.  In
calculating  its total  capital  under the  risk-based  capital  rule, a savings
institution whose measured interest rate risk exposure exceeds 2% must deduct an
amount equal to one-half of the difference  between the  institution's  measured
interest rate risk and 2%,  multiplied by the  estimated  economic  value of the
institution's  assets.  The  Director  of the OTS may  waive or defer a  savings
institution's  interest rate risk component on a  case-by-case  basis. A savings
institution with assets of less than $300 million and risk-based  capital ratios
in excess of 12% is not subject to the interest rate risk component,  unless the
OTS   determines   otherwise.   For  the  present  time,  the  OTS  has  delayed
implementation of the interest rate risk component. If the Bank had been subject
to an interest  rate risk capital  component  as of March 31,  1996,  the Bank's
total risk-weighted  capital would not have been subject to a deduction based on
interest  rate  risk.  At March  31,  1996,  the  Bank  met each of its  capital
requirements, in each case on a fully phased-in basis.

        Deductions from Regulatory Capital on Non-Permissible Activities

Under the OTS capital regulation, deductions from tangible and core capital, for
the purpose of  computing  regulatory  capital  requirements,  are  required for
investments in and loans to subsidiaries  engaged in non-permissible  activities
for a  national  bank.  Included  in  these  non-permissible  activities  is the
development  of real estate  through  the Bank's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Mid
America  Developments.  The  regulation  includes  a  transitional  rule for the
deduction from tangible  capital over a five year period for  investments in and
loans to Mid America  Developments as of April 12, 1989. As of July 1, 1995, 60%
of such investment in and advances to Mid America  Developments  was required to
be  deducted  from  capital.  The  scheduled  deduction  from  tangible  capital
increases to 100% as of July 1, 1996.

Included in the  calculation  of the Bank's  deduction  from  tangible  and core
capital due to  investments in and advances to Mid America  Developments  is the
Bank's total equity investment in Mid America  Developments as well as unsecured
loans  made  to Mid  America  Developments.  Decreasing  the  investment  in and
advances to Mid America  Developments  requires  the  generation  of cash at Mid
America  Developments to repay its loans to the Bank or to declare  dividends to
pass undistributed profits up to the Bank. Currently,  the generation of cash at
Mid America  Developments  is  accomplished by continued lot sales from improved
land developments.

The  following  is a summary of the Bank's  investment  in and  advances  to Mid
America Developments at the dates indicated:

As a result of the Bank's $4.6 million investment in and advances to Mid America
Developments at March 31, 1996, the Bank is currently required to reduce capital
for purposes of  computing  regulatory  capital by 60% of such  amount,  or $2.8
million.   Should  the  Bank's   investment  in  and  advances  to  Mid  America
Developments as of March 31, 1996, remain outstanding through the current fiscal
year,  the  Bank  would  deduct  from  capital,  for the  purpose  of  computing
regulatory  capital  requirements,  $2.8 million through June 30, 1996, and $4.6
million thereafter.

Prompt  Corrective  Regulatory  Action.  Under the OTS prompt  corrective action
regulations,  the OTS is required to take certain  supervisory  actions  against
undercapitalized   institutions,   the  severity  of  which   depends  upon  the
institution's degree of undercapitalization. Generally, a savings institution is
considered  "well  capitalized"  if its ratio of total capital to  risk-weighted
assets is at least  10%,  its ratio of Tier 1 (core)  capital  to  risk-weighted
assets is at least 6%, its ratio of core capital to total assets is at least 5%,
and it is not  subject to any order or  directive  by the OTS to meet a specific
capital  level.  A  savings  institution  generally  is  considered  "adequately
capitalized" if its ratio of total capital to  risk-weighted  assets is at least
8%, its ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to  risk-weighted  assets is at least 4%,
and its  ratio  of core  capital  to  total  assets  is at  least  4% (3% if the
institution receives the highest CAMEL rating). A savings institution that has a
ratio of total capital to weighted  assets of less of than 8%, a ratio of Tier 1
(core)  capital  to  risk-weighted  assets  of less  than 4% or a ratio  of core
capital to total  assets of less than 4% (3% or less for  institutions  with the
highest  examination rating) is considered to be  "undercapitalized."  A savings
institution  that has a total  risk-based  capital  ratio less than 6%, a Tier 1
risk-based  capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage  ratio that is less than
3%  is  considered  to  be  "significantly   undercapitalized,"  and  a  savings
institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2%
is deemed to be "critically  undercapitalized."  Subject to a narrow  exception,
the banking  regulator is required to appoint a receiver or  conservator  for an
institution that is "critically  undercapitalized." The regulation also provides
that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the OTS within 45 days of the
date a  savings  institution  receives  notice  that  it is  "undercapitalized,"
"significantly  undercapitalized" or "critically  undercapitalized."  Compliance
with the plan must be guaranteed  by any parent  holding  company.  In addition,
numerous  mandatory  supervisory  actions  become  immediately  applicable to an
undercapitalized   institution,   including,   but  not  limited  to,  increased
monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth,  capital  distributions and
expansion.  The OTS  could  also  take  any  one of a  number  of  discretionary
supervisory  actions,  including  the  issuance of a capital  directive  and the
replacement of senior executive officers and directors.

Insurance  of  Deposit  Accounts.  The FDIC has  adopted  a  risk-based  deposit
insurance system that assesses deposit insurance premiums according to the level
of risk involved in an institution's  activities. An institution's risk category
is based upon  whether the  institution  is  classified  as "well  capitalized,"
"adequately  capitalized"  or  "undercapitalized"  and one of three  supervisory
subcategories  within each capital group.  The supervisory  subgroup to which an
institution  is assigned is based on a supervisory  evaluation  and  information
which  the  FDIC  determines  to be  relevant  to  the  institution's  financial
condition and the risk posed to the deposit insurance fund. Based on its capital
and  supervisory  subgroups,  each Bank  Insurance  Fund ("BIF") and SAIF member
institution is assigned an annual FDIC  assessment  rate between 23 basis points
for an institution in the highest category (i.e.,  well-capitalized and healthy)
and  31  basis  points  for  an  institution  in  the  lowest   category  (i.e.,
undercapitalized  and  posing  substantial  supervisory  concern).  The FDIC has
authority  to further  raise  premiums  if deemed  necessary.  If such action is
taken, it could have an adverse effect on the earnings of the Bank.

In 1995, the FDIC adopted a new assessment rate schedule of 0 to 27 basis points
for BIF members  beginning in the fourth  quarter of 1995.  Under that schedule,
approximately  92% of BIF  members  would pay only  $2,000  per year,  the legal
minimum,  in insurance  assessments.  The FDIC retained the existing  assessment
rate schedule of 23 to 31 basis points  applicable to SAIF member  institutions.
Consequently, there is a significant differential in the insurance premiums paid
by BIF and SAIF members. As long as the premium differential  continues,  it may
place SAIF  members,  such as the Bank,  at a  substantial  disadvantage  to BIF
members with respect to pricing of loans and deposits and the ability to achieve
lower operating costs.

Several  bills have been  introduced  in Congress to mitigate  the effect of the
BIF/SAIF premium disparity. Among other things, these bills impose a special one
time  assessment on SAIF members in an amount left to the discretion of the FDIC
but  expected to be between  79-85 basis points to  recapitalize  the SAIF fund.
This would allow  adoption  of an ongoing  assessment  schedule  similar to that
applicable to BIF


                                       15

<PAGE> 16


members.  The pending  legislation  would also require the merger of the BIF and
SAIF into one fund by January 1, 1998 provided that  subsequent  legislation  is
enacted to eliminate the federal thrift charter. In addition, certain provisions
of another  pending  bill would  eliminate  the bad debt reserve  deduction  for
financial  institutions and would require savings  associations to recapture any
post  1987  additions  to an  institution's  bad debt  reserves.  It  cannot  be
predicted  whether  this  legislation  will be  enacted  or  whether  any  other
legislation  regarding  the  disparity  will be enacted  or, if  legislation  is
enacted, the amount of any special assessment.  Any such legislation may have an
adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank.

Legislative  proposals  are also under  consideration  that would  eliminate the
federal  thrift  charter  and  abolish  the  OTS  and  require  federal  savings
associations  to  become  either  national  or state  chartered  banks.  If such
legislation is adopted, it could require divestiture of activities,  adverse tax
consequences or otherwise  disrupt  operations.  No prediction can be made as to
any such legislation.

Under the FDI Act,  insurance of deposits may be  terminated  by the FDIC upon a
finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound  practices,  is in
an unsafe or unsound  condition  to  continue  operations  or has  violated  any
applicable law, regulation,  rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the
OTS.  The  management  of the Bank does not know of any  practice,  condition or
violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance.

Loans to One  Borrower.  Under  the HOLA,  savings  institutions  are  generally
subject to the limits on loans to one  borrower  applicable  to national  banks.
Generally, savings institutions may not make a loan or extend credit to a single
or related  group of  borrowers in excess of 15% of its  unimpaired  capital and
surplus.  An additional  amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired  capital
and surplus, if such loan is secured by readily-marketable  collateral, which is
defined to include certain financial instruments and bullion. At March 31, 1996,
the Bank's limit on loans to one borrower was $16.0 million.  At March 31, 1996,
the  Bank's  largest  aggregate  outstanding  balance  of loans to one  borrower
consisted of $16.2  million.  Although this balance  exceeds the Bank's  current
loan to one borrower limitation, this borrower's balance was grandfathered under
OTS  regulations  to be subject to the Bank's loan to one  borrower  limit as of
August 9, 1989, or $59.5 million.

Standards for Safety and Soundness.  The federal  banking  agencies have adopted
Interagency   Guidelines   Prescribing   Standards   for  Safety  and  Soundness
("Guidelines")  and a final rule to  implement  safety and  soundness  standards
required  under the FDI Act. The  Guidelines  set forth the safety and soundness
standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems
at  insured  depository   institutions  before  capital  becomes  impaired.  The
standards set forth in the Guidelines  address internal controls and information
systems;  internal  audit  system;  credit  underwriting;   loan  documentation;
interest rate risk exposure; asset growth; and compensation,  fees and benefits.
The agencies are expected to adopt a proposed rule that  proposes  asset quality
and  earnings  standards  which,  if  adopted  in  final,  would be added to the
Guidelines.  If the  appropriate  federal  banking  agency  determines  that  an
institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the Guidelines,  the agency
may  require  the  institution  to submit to the  agency an  acceptable  plan to
achieve compliance with the standard, as required by the FDI Act. The final rule
establishes deadlines for the submission and review of such safety and soundness
compliance plans when such plans are required.

Limitation on Capital Distributions. OTS regulations impose limitations upon all
capital distributions by savings institutions,  such as cash dividends, payments
to  repurchase  or otherwise  acquire its shares,  payments to  shareholders  of
another institution in a cash-out merger and other distributions charged against
capital.  The rule  establishes  three  tiers of  institutions,  which are based
primarily on an  institution's  capital level.  An institution  that exceeds all
fully  phased-in  capital  requirements  before  and  after a  proposed  capital
distribution  ("Tier 1 Bank") and has not been  advised by the OTS that it is in
need of more than normal  supervision,  could,  after  prior  notice but without
obtaining approval of the



                                       16

<PAGE> 17


OTS, make capital  distributions  during a calendar year equal to the greater of
(i) 100% of its net  earnings to date during the  calendar  year plus the amount
that would reduce by one-half its "surplus  capital  ratio" (the excess  capital
over its fully phased-in capital  requirements) at the beginning of the calendar
year  or  (ii)  75% of its  net  income  for the  previous  four  quarters.  Any
additional capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval. In the
event the Bank's  capital  fell  below its  regulatory  requirements  or the OTS
notified  it that it was in need of more than  normal  supervision,  the  Bank's
ability to make capital distributions could be restricted.  In addition, the OTS
could prohibit a proposed capital  distribution by any institution,  which would
otherwise  be  permitted  by the  regulation,  if the OTS  determines  that such
distribution  would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.  In December 1994,
the OTS proposed  amendments to its capital  distribution  regulation that would
generally  authorize the payment of capital  distributions  without OTS approval
provided the payment does not make the institution  undercapitalized  within the
meaning of the prompt corrective action regulation.  However,  institutions in a
holding company structure would still have a prior notice requirement.  At March
31,  1996,  the Bank was a Tier 1 Bank.  During the nine months  ended March 31,
1996, the Bank declared and paid dividends to the Company totaling $4.0 million.

The Internal  Revenue Code may also limit dividend  payments by the Bank. To the
extent that (i) the balance in the Bank's reserve for losses on qualifying  real
property  loans  exceeds  the  amount  that  would  have been  allowed  under an
experience  method  (the  "excess  bad debt  reserve")  and (ii) the Bank  makes
"nondividend  distributions"  to  stockholders  that are considered to result in
distributions  from the excess bad debt reserve or the supplemental  reserve for
losses  on  loans  ("Excess  Distributions"),  an  amount  based  on the  amount
distributed  will  be  included  in  the  Bank's  taxable  income.   Nondividend
distributions  include  distributions  in  excess  of  the  Bank's  current  and
accumulated  earnings  and profits,  distributions  in  redemption  of stock and
distributions in partial or complete liquidation. However, dividends paid out of
the Bank's  current or  accumulated  earnings and  profits,  as  calculated  for
federal income tax purposes,  will not be considered to result in a distribution
from the Bank's bad debt reserve.

FEDERAL  HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB System,  which
consists of 12  regional  FHLBs.  The FHLBs  provide a central  credit  facility
primarily for member institutions. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Chicago,
is  required  to acquire  and hold  shares of  capital  stock in that FHLB in an
amount at least  equal to 1% of the  aggregate  principal  amount of its  unpaid
residential  mortgage  loans and similar  obligations  at the  beginning of each
year, or 1/20 of its advances  (borrowings) from the FHLB of Chicago,  whichever
is greater. The Bank is in compliance with this requirement.  FHLB advances must
be secured by specified  types of  collateral  and may be obtained  only for the
purpose of providing funds for residential  housing finance.  At March 31, 1996,
FHLB of Chicago advances totaled $395.5 million.

The FHLBs are required to provide funds on certain  obligations  on bonds issued
to fund  the  resolution  of  insolvent  thrifts  and to  contribute  funds  for
affordable  housing  programs.  These  requirements  could  reduce the amount of
dividends that the FHLBs pay to their members and could also result in the FHLBs
imposing a higher rate of interest  on  advances to their  members,  which could
reduce the net interest income of member savings associations, such as the Bank.
Further,  there can be no assurance  that the impact of FDICIA and FIRREA on the
FHLBs will not also cause a decrease  in the value of the FHLB of Chicago  stock
held by the Bank.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM.  The Federal Reserve Board  regulations  require savings
institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction
accounts  (primarily NOW and regular  checking  accounts).  The Federal  Reserve
Board  regulations   generally  require  that  reserves  be  maintained  against
aggregate  transaction  accounts  as follows:  for  accounts  aggregating  $52.0
million or less (subject to adjustment by the Federal



                                       17


<PAGE> 18


Reserve  Board) the reserve  requirement  is 3%; and for  accounts  greater than
$52.0  million,  the reserve  requirement  is $1.56 million plus 10% (subject to
adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board between 8% and 14%) against that portion
of total transaction accounts in excess of $52.0 million. The first $4.3 million
of otherwise  reservable balances (subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve
Board) are exempted  from the reserve  requirements.  The Bank is in  compliance
with the  foregoing  requirements.  The balances  maintained to meet the reserve
requirements  imposed  by the  Federal  Reserve  Board  may be used  to  satisfy
liquidity requirements imposed by the OTS.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of March 31,  1996,  total  assets of the  Company  were  $1.98  billion,  an
increase of $197.1 million, or 11.0% compared to $1.78 billion at June 30, 1995.
The increase is primarily due to increased  deposits and borrowings,  which were
used to finance mortgage originations held for investment.

Cash and  short-term  investments  totaled a combined $77.5 million at March 31,
1996, an increase of $17.7 million,  or 29.5% from the $59.8 million reported at
June 30, 1995.

Investment  securities classified as held to maturity decreased $20.6 million to
$32.6 million at March 31, 1996 compared to $53.2 million at June 30, 1995.  The
decrease  is  due to  purchases  of  $20.6  million  of  investments  offset  by
maturities  of $23.5  million,  as well as the transfer of $18.0  million  (fair
value of $17.9 million) of investments  into the available for sale portfolio on
December 31, 1995, as allowed under an implementation  guide related to SFAS No.
115.

Investment  securities  available for sale increased to $39.2 million, at market
at March 31, 1996,  from $24.1 million at June 30, 1995.  The primary reason for
the increase was due to the Bank transferring $17.9 million from its investments
held to maturity  portfolio  (at fair value) into  available for sale to provide
greater liquidity for funding loan volume. Additionally,  during the nine months
ending March 31, 1996, the Company purchased $25.4 million investments available
for sale,  which were offset by $27.8 million of maturities.  At March 31, 1996,
unrealized gains were $489,000.

Mortgage-backed  securities  classified  as held to  maturity  decreased  $124.5
million to $119.4  million at March 31, 1996.  On December  31,  1995,  the Bank
transferred  $108.7  million (fair value of $108.5  million) of  mortgage-backed
securities and collateralized  mortgage  obligations ("CMOs") into its available
for sale portfolio as allowed under an implementation guide to SFAS No. 115.

Mortgage-backed  securities  available for sale increased to $143.8 million,  at
market as of March 31,  1996.  The  increase  is due to the  transfer  of $108.5
million of  mortgage-backed  securities  and CMO's on December 31, 1995 (at fair
value),  offset by prepayments and  amortization of $27.8 million.  At March 31,
1996, unrealized losses were $900,000.

The Bank has  $222.7  million  of CMO  securities  included  in  mortgage-backed
securities  available  for sale and held to  maturity  at March  31,  1996,  the
majority of which are  collateralized  by FNMA,  FHLMC and GNMA  mortgage-backed
securities, and to a lesser extent by whole loans.

Loans  receivable,  including loans held for sale,  increased  $219.9 million to
$1.49  billion at March 31,  1996,  from $1.27  billion  at June 30,  1995.  The
increase is primarily a function of loan  originations  and  purchases of $727.6
million,  offset by sales of $226.6 million and  amortization and prepayments of
$281.6 million. The growth in loans receivable is due to continued  originations
of adjustable-rate loans, which the Bank has traditionally held in its portfolio
to help control interest-rate risk.

The  allowance  for loan losses  increased  to $9.5  million at March 31,  1996,
compared to $9.2  million at June 30, 1995,  due to a $450,000 in provision  for
loan losses  during the nine months ended March 31, 1996,  offset by $149,000 of
net  charge-offs.  At March 31, 1996, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses
to non-performing loans was 105.3%, compared to 128.2% at June 30, 1995.

The decrease in Ashbury is due to 33 sales during the current nine month period,
offset by  development  costs in the final phases of the  project.  At March 31,
1996, 30 lots were pending sale in Ashbury,  leaving 2 lots unsold in this 1,115
lot subdivision. The Woods of Rivermist has 10 lots remaining, with 5 lots under
contract  at March  31,  1996.  Development  is  substantially  complete  in the
project. No sales have been recorded in fiscal 1996.

The Plantation  subdivision is in the planning phase and is expected to commence
development  in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase of $2.2 million
is due to land  acquisition and other planning costs. The decrease in Clow Creek
Farm is due to development  costs of $1.0 million,  offset by 137 lot sales.  At
March 31, 1996, 42 lots remain,  with 16 lots pending sale. The slight  decrease
in the  Creekside of  Remington  development  is due to $625,000 of  development
costs offset by 27 lot sales.  At March 31, 1996, 137 lots remain,  with no lots
under contract. The Company wrote off its $424,000 investment related to options
it had  acquired on two  parcels of land  aggregating  280 acres in  Plainfield,
Illinois.  The options were not  exercised  following a thorough  financial  and
market assessment of the proposed project.

Deposits  increased 4.5%, or $59.5 million,  to $1.37 billion at March 31, 1996.
After  consideration  of interest  credited to accounts of $41.3 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1996,  actual cash inflows were $18.2  million,  and
are primarily attributable to an increase in certificates of deposit.

Borrowed funds,  which consist primarily of FHLB of Chicago advances,  increased
$119.3  million to $426.3  million at March 31, 1996. The primary reason for the
increase is due to the Bank  increasing  its FHLB of Chicago  advances by $160.0
million since June 30, 1995.  These advances were primarily  adjustable rate and
used to fund the  increased  adjustable-rate  loan volume  generated  during the
current nine month period. Offsetting this increase was the repayment of a $12.7
million reverse  repurchase  agreement with an original term of 2 years, as well
as a $4.5  million  decrease  in the  Bank's  CMO  bonds  payable  issued by its
special-purpose finance subsidiary.

Subordinated capital notes, net increased $6.6 million to $26.7 million at March
31,  1996.  The  increase  is due to the  refinancing  of $20.9  million  of 10%
subordinated  capital  notes in  November  1995 with  $27.6  million  of 10-year
subordinated  notes, with a coupon rate of 8.32%, and an effective cost of 8.85%
after consideration of $1.0 million of issuance costs.

ASSET QUALITY

NON-PERFORMING  LOANS.  When a borrower fails to make a required  payment by the
end of the month in which the  payment  is due,  the Bank  generally  institutes
collection  procedures.  The Bank will send a late  notice,  and in most  cases,
delinquencies  are cured  promptly;  however,  if a loan has been delinquent for
more than 60 days,  the Bank  contacts the  borrower in order to  determine  the
reason for the delinquency and to effect a cure, and, where appropriate, reviews
the condition of the property and the financial  circumstances  of the borrower.
Based upon the  results of any such  investigation,  the Bank may:  (1) accept a
repayment program for the arrearage from the borrower; (2) seek evidence, in the
form of a listing  contract,  of efforts by the borrower to sell the property if
the borrower  has stated that he is  attempting  to sell;  (3) request a deed in
lieu  of  foreclosure;  or (4)  initiate  foreclosure  proceedings.  When a loan
payment is  delinquent  for three or more  monthly  installments,  the Bank will
initiate foreclosure proceedings.

On July 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 114,  "Accounting  by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS
No. 118,  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition
and Disclosures,"  which impose certain  requirements on the  identification and
measurement  of impaired  loans. A loan is considered  impaired  when,  based on
current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to
collect all amounts due  according  to the  contractual  terms of the loan.  For
loans which are not individually  significant  (i.e. loans under $500,000),  and
represent a homogeneous  population,  the Bank evaluates impairment collectively
based on management reports on the level and extent of delinquencies, as well as
historical loss experience for these types of loans. The Bank uses this criteria
on  one-to   four-family   residential  loans,   consumer  loans,   multi-family
residential loans, and land loans.  Impairment for loans considered individually
significant  and  commercial  real estate loans are  measured  based on the fair
value of the collateral securing the loan. At March 31, 1996, the Company has no
loans  which  are  considered  impaired  under  the  criteria  of SFAS No.  114.
Charge-offs  of  principal  occur when a loss has deemed to have  occurred  as a
result of the book value exceeding the fair value or net realizable value.

The Company's  policy for  recognition  of interest  income on impaired loans is
unchanged as a result of the  adoption of SFAS No. 114 and 118. A loan  (whether
considered  impaired or not) is classified as non-accrual when collectibility is
in doubt, and is normally  analyzed upon the borrower  becoming 90 days past due
on  contractual  principal  or  interest  payments.  When a loan  is  placed  on
non-accrual  status,  or in the process of foreclosure,  previously  accrued but
unpaid  interest  is reserved in full.  Income is  subsequently  recorded to the
extent cash payments are received, or at a time when the loan is brought current
in accordance with its original terms.

At March 31, 1996, restructured loans which meet the definition of troubled debt
restructurings  under SFAS No. 15  "Accounting  by  Debtors  and  Creditors  for
Troubled Debt Restructurings," were $4.3 million, consisting of two loans, at an
average  interest  rate of 6.90%,  compared to $4.4  million,  consisting of two
loans at an average  rate of 6.41% at June 30, 1995.  At March 31, 1996,  one of
the loans was 30 days delinquent.

For the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1996,  interest  income that would have been
recorded  on  non-accrual  loans (had they been  performing  according  to their
original  terms)  amounted to $40,000,  compared to $41,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.

Non-performing  loans  increased  $1.8 million to $9.0 million at March 31, 1996
from  $7.2  million  at  June  30,  1995.  The  increase  was  primarily  in the
one-to-four  family  portfolio.  As of  March  31,  1996,  the  Bank's  ratio of
non-performing  loans to total loans was .60%, compared to .57% at June 30, 1995
and .69% at March 31, 1995.

CLASSIFICATION  OF ASSETS. In connection with the filing of its periodic reports
with the OTS, the Bank regularly  reviews its portfolio to determine whether any
assets require  classification  in accordance with OTS regulation.  At March 31,
1996 and June 30, 1995, the Bank had no loans classified as doubtful or loss. At
March 31, 1996 and June 30, 1995,  all  non-performing  assets are classified as
substandard.  The table below summarizes assets classified as substandard at the

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal sources of funds are cash dividends paid by the Bank and
MAF  Developments,  and  liquidity  generated by the  issuance of common  stock,
preferred  stock,  or  borrowings.  The  Company's  principal  uses of funds are
interest  payments  on  its  subordinated   capital  notes,  cash  dividends  to
shareholders,  loans  to  and  investments  in  MAF  Developments,  as  well  as
investment  purchases  with excess cash flow. The Company also maintains a $15.0
million  unsecured  revolving line of credit from a commercial bank, of which no
balances  have been drawn.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 1996,  the
Company  received  $4.0  million in dividends  from the Bank and  declared  cash
dividends on common stock of $.24 per share, or $1.3 million.

In November 1995, the Company raised $27.6 million in 10-year subordinated notes
with a coupon rate of 8.32%, and an effective cost of 8.85% after  consideration
of  issuance   expenses.   Proceeds  were  used  to  retire  the  Company's  10%
subordinated  capital notes at par, with the remainder of proceeds available for
general  corporate  purposes.  The early repayment  resulted in an extraordinary
charge of $.08 per  share  due to the  write-off  of the  remaining  unamortized
issuance expenses.

On November 29, 1995,  the Company  agreed to acquire N.S.  Bancorp,  Inc. for a
combination  of stock and cash valued at $277.2  million at that date,  based on
the  Company's  stock  price at that date.  N.S.  Bancorp is the parent  holding
company of Northwestern Savings Bank, which operates six branches in Chicago and
two nearby  suburbs.  As of March 31, 1996,  N.S.  Bancorp had $1.15  billion in
assets,  $880.4  million  in  deposits,   and  $235.2  million  in  equity.  The
transaction is subject to regulatory and  shareholder  approvals and is expected
to close prior to June 30, 1996.

In connection with the merger,  the Company has obtained a financing  commitment
from a commercial  bank to provide up to $45.0 million in an unsecured term loan
facility  to be funded on or after the  closing  of the merger but no later than
August 31,  1996.  The  Company  has the option of  selecting  either a fixed or
floating  interest  rate or a  combination  thereof.  The  financing  commitment
provides for increasing  annual  principal  payments  beginning in December 1997
with the final maturity of December 31, 2003.

The Bank's  principal  sources of funds are deposits,  advances from the FHLB of
Chicago, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities,  proceeds
from the sale of loans and funds  provided by operations.  While  scheduled loan
and  mortgage-backed   securities  amortization  and  maturing  interest-bearing
deposits are a relatively  predictable  source of funds,  deposit flows and loan
and  mortgage-backed  securities  prepayments are greatly influenced by economic
conditions,  the  general  level of  interest  rates and  competition.  The Bank
utilizes   particular   sources  of  funds  based  on   comparative   costs  and
availability. The Bank generally manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain
a steady deposit balance,  but has from time to time decided not to pay rates on
deposits as high as its competition,  and when necessary, to supplement deposits
with longer term and/or less  expensive  alternative  sources of funds,  such as
advances from the FHLB of Chicago. During the current nine month period the Bank
obtained $160.0 million of primarily adjustable rate FHLB of Chicago advances to
fund mortgage loan originations held for investment.

The Bank is required by regulation to maintain specific minimum levels of liquid
investments. Regulations currently in effect require the Bank to maintain liquid
assets at least  equal to 5.0% of the sum of its  average  daily  balance of net
withdrawable  accounts  and  borrowed  funds  due  in one  year  or  less.  This
regulatory  requirement  may be  changed  from time to time to  reflect  current
economic conditions. During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Bank's average
liquidity  ratio was  6.23%.  At March 31,  1996,  total  liquidity  was  $103.1
million,  or 7.03%,  which was $29.8  million  in excess of the 5.0%  regulatory
requirement.

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Bank  originated and purchased
loans  totaling  $240.2  million  compared with $110.7  million  during the same
period a year ago.  The  increase  in loan volume is  attributable  to growth in
wholesale loan purchases.  Loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
were $71.3  million,  compared to $12.2  million for the prior year period.  The
Bank has  outstanding  commitments  to originate  and  purchase  loans of $168.9
million and commitments to sell loans of $50.7 million at March 31, 1996.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Bank's  overall  asset/liability  management  strategy  is  directed  toward
reducing  the  Bank's  exposure  to  interest  rate risk  over time in  changing
interest rate  environments.  Asset/liability  management is a daily function of
the Bank's  management  due to  continual  fluctuations  in  interest  rates and
financial markets.

As part of its  asset/liability  strategy,  the Bank has implemented a policy to
maintain its cumulative  one-year interest  sensitivity gap ratio within a range
of (15)% to 15% of total assets,  which helps the Bank to maintain a more stable
net interest rate spread in various  interest rate  environments.  The gap ratio
fluctuates as a result of market  conditions  and  management's  expectation  of
future interest rate trends.  Under OTS Thrift Bulletin 13, the Bank is required
to measure its interest  rate risk assuming  various  increases and decreases in
general  interest rates,  and the effect on net interest income and market value
of portfolio equity. An interest rate risk policy has been approved by the Board
of  Directors  setting the limits to changes in net  interest  income and market
value of portfolio equity at the various rate scenarios  required.  In addition,
the OTS has added an interest  rate risk  component  to its  regulatory  capital
requirements  which could require an  additional  amount of capital based on the
level of adverse  change in a savings  institution's  market  value of portfolio
equity, resulting from changes in interest rates. Management continually reviews
its  interest  rate  risk  policies  in  light  of  potential   higher   capital
requirements  that may result from the final  adoption of an interest  rate risk
component to the OTS capital requirements.

The Bank's  asset/liability  management  strategy  emphasizes the origination of
one- to  four-family  adjustable-rate  loans and other loans which have  shorter
terms to maturity or reprice more  frequently  than  fixed-rate  mortgage loans,
yet,  provide a positive  margin over the Bank's  cost of funds.  In response to
customer demand,  the Bank originates  fixed-rate  mortgage loans, but sells the
majority  of these  loans in the  secondary  market  in  order to  maintain  its
interest rate sensitivity levels.

In conjunction with the strategy discussed above, management has also hedged the
Bank's exposure to interest rate risk primarily by committing to sell fixed-rate
mortgage loans for future delivery. Under these commitments,  the Bank agrees to
sell fixed-rate  loans at a specified price and at a specified  future date. The
sale of fixed-rate  mortgage  loans for future  delivery has enabled the Bank to
continue to originate new mortgage loans, and to generate gains on sale of these
loans as well as loan  servicing  fee income,  while  maintaining  its gap ratio
within the parameters  discussed  above.  Most of these forward sale commitments
are conducted with the Federal National  Mortgage  Association  ("FNMA") and the
Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  ("FHLMC")  with respect to loans that
conform to the requirements of these government agencies. The forward commitment
of mortgage loans presents a risk to the Bank if the Bank is not able to deliver
the mortgage loans by the commitment  expiration date. If this should occur, the
Bank would be required to pay a fee to the buyer.  The Bank attempts to mitigate
this risk by charging  potential  retail  borrowers a 1% fee to fix the interest
rate,  or by requiring  the interest rate to float at market rates until shortly
before closing.  In its wholesale lending  operation,  there is more risk due to
the  competitive  inability to charge a rate lock fee to the  mortgage  brokers,
which  the Bank  tries to offset  by using  higher  assumed  fallout  rates.  In
addition,  the Bank has started using U.S.  Treasury  bond futures  contracts to
hedge some of the mortgage pipeline  exposure.  These futures contracts are used
to hedge  mortgage loan  production in those  circumstances  where loans are not
sold forward as described above.

The table  below sets forth the  scheduled  repricing  or maturity of the Bank's
assets and liabilities at March 31, 1996,  based on the assumptions  used by the
Federal  Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB") of Chicago  with  respect to passbook  account
withdrawals,  loan and  mortgage-backed  security prepayment  percentages.  In a
departure from the FHLB of Chicago assumptions, which assume a 0% prepayment for
other borrowings,  the Bank assumes that the collateralized mortgage obligations
included   in  other   borrowings   prepay   at  the  same  rate  used  for  the
mortgage-backed  securities  collateralizing  these  obligations.  The effect of
these  assumptions is to quantify the estimated  dollar amount of items that are
interest-sensitive and may be repriced within each of the periods specified

Certain  shortcomings  are  inherent in the method of analysis  presented in the
table below as it does not necessarily  indicate the impact of general  interest
rate movements on the Bank's net interest yield because the repricing of certain
categories  of assets  and  liabilities  is  subject  to  competitive  and other
pressures  beyond the Bank's control.  For example,  although certain assets and
liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing,  they may react
in different  degrees to changes in market  interest  rates.  Also, the interest
rates on certain  types of assets and  liabilities  may  fluctuate in advance of
changes in market  interest  rates,  while interest rates on other types may lag
behind  changes in market rates.  Further,  in the event of a change in interest
rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly
from those assumed in  calculating  the table.  As a result,  certain assets and
liabilities  indicated as maturing or otherwise repricing within a stated period
may, in fact, mature or reprice at different times and at different volumes.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS

The  following  table  sets forth  certain  information  relating  to the Bank's
consolidated statements of financial condition and reflects the average yield on
assets and average cost of liabilities  for the periods  indicated.  Such 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 daily  balances.  The yield/cost at March 31, 1996 includes
fees which are considered adjustments to yield.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

GENERAL - Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $4.2 million,
compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995,  an increase
of  $893,000,  or  27.0%.  Earnings  per  share was $.74 per share for the three
months  ended  March 31, 1996  compared  to $.56 per share for the three  months
ended March 31, 1995, an increase of 32.1% reflecting the positive impact of the
Company's stock repurchase programs.

NET INTEREST  INCOME - Net interest  income for the three months ended March 31,
1996 was $11.7 million, an increase of $951,000,  or 8.8% from the $10.8 million
recorded  for the three  months  ended March 31,  1995.  The Bank's net interest
margin  declined to 2.56% for the three months ended March 31, 1996  compared to
2.67% for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  This margin  decrease was more
than offset by an increase in average  interest-earning  assets to $1.84 billion
for the current  three  month  period,  compared to $1.62  billion for the three
months ended March 31, 1995.

Interest  income on loans  receivable  increased $5.8 million during the current
three  month  period,  as a  result  of a $293.8  million  increase  in  average
balances.  The increase in average balance is due to a change in the mix of loan
originations favoring  adjustable-rate  loans, which the Bank generally holds in
portfolio.  Due to available liquidity being invested in loan originations,  the
Bank has had limited activity in purchasing

                                       28

<PAGE> 29


mortgage-backed  securities,  which  together with  amortization  and repayments
accounts for the decrease in income from mortgage-backed securities.

Interest expense on interest-bearing  liabilities increased by $3.8 million, due
to a $1.0 million increase in interest  expense on deposits,  and an increase in
interest  expense on borrowed  funds of $2.8  million.  The  increase in deposit
interest  expense is due to an increase  in the  average  rate on deposits of 15
basis points and a $28.5 million increase in average  balances.  The increase in
interest  expense on borrowed  funds is primarily due to the increase in average
balances  outstanding  of $172.2  million to $428.7  million  compared to $256.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 1995,  without a material  increase
in average cost.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - The Bank provided  $200,000 for possible loan losses
during the quarter  ended March 31, 1996,  compared to $0 for the quarter  ended
March 31, 1995. The current  period  provision was recorded due to growth in the
Bank's  loan  portfolio,  higher  level  of  charge-offs  and  the  increase  in
non-performing  assets.  The Bank's  ratio of the  allowance  for loan losses to
non-performing  loans was 105.3% at March 31, 1996,  compared to 111.8% at March
31, 1995, and 128.2% at June 30, 1995.

NON-INTEREST  INCOME -  Non-interest  income  increased  $1.6 million during the
quarter  ended March 31, 1996,  to $4.5  million,  primarily due to increases in
income from real estate operations, and deposit account service changes.

Gain on sale of  loans  and  mortgage-backed  securities  increased  a  combined
$143,000 to $49,000 for the three months  ended March 31, 1996,  compared to the
three months  ended March 31, 1995.  The increase is due to an increase in loans
sold to $71.3  million for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996  compared to
$12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1995. Included in the current
period  gains is  $38,000  from the sale of  mortgage-backed  securities,  which
represent  loans  originated by the Bank and swapped  prior to sale.  During the
current  quarter,  the Bank  swapped  and sold  $9.4  million  of  current  loan
originations.

During the  current  quarter,  the  Company  recorded $0 in gains on the sale of
investment securities compared to gains of $72,000 in the prior year period. The
prior year gains were generated from the sale of marketable  equity  securities,
which were classified as available for sale.

The Bank  recorded  income from real estate  operations  of $1.6 million for the
three  months  ended March 31,  1996,  compared to $664,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.

The Clow Creek Farm sales  reflect the strong  demand for Unit 2 lots.  At March
31,  1996,  16 lots in Clow Creek Farm are under  contract.  Ashbury  sales were
consistent with the prior year period. At March 31, 1996, 30 of the 32 remaining
lots are  under  contract.  The  loss of  $424,000  reflects  the  write-off  of
capitalized  costs for a project  which the Company  decided not to exercise its
options to purchase two parcels of land.

Loan  servicing fee income  increased  slightly to $597,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. Although average loans serviced for others increased 11.4%
to $981.8 for the current three month period, compared to $881.6 million for the
prior three month period,  loan servicing fee income  increased only 3.1% due to
the amortization of purchased loan servicing  rights,  which totaled $70,000 for
the current  three month  period,  compared to $26,000 for the prior three month
period.

Deposit account service charges increased $415,000, or 52.5% to $1.2 million for
the three months  ended March 31,  1996.  The increase is due to the addition of
approximately  16,600 checking accounts since March 31, 1995, in response to the
Bank's successful direct mail checking account program.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE - Total non-interest expense increased $710,000, or 8.4% to
$9.2  million  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996,  primarily  due to
increases in compensation and benefits.

Compensation  and  benefits  increased  $503,000  or 10.7%  during  the  current
quarter, to $5.2 million. In addition to normal salary increases,  this category
increased due to higher loan volume,  and its impact on loan department  related
compensation,  including higher loan officer commissions, overtime and incentive
compensation.

INCOME TAXES - The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $2.7 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, or an effective  income tax rate of 38.7%,
compared to $2.0 million,  or an effective income tax rate of 37.1% in the prior
year period.


COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

GENERAL - Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 was $12.0 million,
or $2.07 per share,  compared to $10.7 million,  or $1.81 per share, an increase
of $1.3 million,  or 11.9%. On an operating basis,  before  consideration of the
$.08 per share charge due to early  extinguishment  of debt,  earnings per share
increased  18.8% to $2.15 per share for the  current  nine  months,  compared to
$1.81 per share for the prior nine month period.

NET INTEREST  INCOME - Net  interest  income for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 was $34.0 million compared to $30.6 million for the nine months ended March
31, 1995, an increase of $3.4 million,  or 11.2%.  The increase is a function of
the growth in average  interest-earning  assets of $230.8  million,  offset by a
decrease in the net interest margin to 2.53% for the nine months ended March 31,
1996, compared to 2.61% for the prior year's nine month period.

Interest income on  interest-earning  assets  increased $17.4 million during the
nine  months  ended  March  31,  1996.  Of  this  increase,   $18.8  million  is
attributable  to  loans  receivable.  Due to  the  substantial  increase  in the
origination  of  adjustable-rate  loans,  the  Bank's  average  balance of loans
receivable increased $287.0 million during the current period, while the average
yield on loans receivable  increased 25 basis points.  The $1.5 million decrease
in  interest  income on  mortgage-backed  securities  is due to a $40.7  million
decrease in average  balance due to lower  purchase  activity in light of higher
loan originations for investment purposes.

Interest expense on interest-bearing  liabilities increased $14.0 million during
the nine  months  ended March 31,  1996.  Interest  expense on savings  deposits
increased  $4.4  million,  primarily  due to an increase in the average  cost of
savings of 38 basis  points.  Average  deposit  balances  between the nine month
periods  remained  relatively  constant.  Interest  expense  on  borrowed  funds
increased  $9.6  million,  due  primarily  to a $178.3  million  increase in the
average  balance  of  borrowed  funds,  due to the  growth  in  loans  held  for
investment, with little change in the average cost of borrowed funds.

                                       30

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - The Bank provided  $450,000 for possible loan losses
for the nine  months  ended March 31,  1996  compared  to $325,000  for the nine
months ended March 31, 1995. Net charge-offs  were $149,000 for the current nine
month  period  compared  to net  recoveries  of $21,000 for the prior nine month
period. The higher provision was due to the growth in the Bank's loan portfolio,
higher level of charge-offs and increase in non-performing assets.

NON-INTEREST  INCOME -  Non-interest  income  increased  $1.4  million  to $13.2
million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.

Gain on sale of loans receivable and mortgage-backed  securities were a combined
$284,000 for the nine months  ended March 31, 1996,  compared to $60,000 for the
nine months  ended March 31,  1995,  an  increase of  $224,000.  Loan sales were
$226.6 million during the current period  compared to $56.4 million in the prior
nine month period,  which is the primary  reason for the  increase.  Included in
gains  during the current nine month period is $95,000 in gains from the sale of
mortgage-backed  securities,  which represent  loans  originated by the Bank and
swapped prior to sale.  During the current nine month  period,  the Bank swapped
and sold $23.7 million of current loan originations.

During the current  nine  months,  the Company  recognized  gains on the sale of
investment  securities  of  $45,000,  compared  to net  losses of $5,000 for the
previous nine month period.  The current year gains are primarily  from the sale
of marketable equity securities,  while the prior year losses include a $181,000
loss on the sale of $2.5 million of U.S.  Agency  securities  from the available
for sale portfolio, offset by gains on marketable equity securities.

Income from real estate  operations  was $4.4  million for the nine months ended
March 31,  1996,  compared to income of $5.0  million for the nine months  ended
March 31, 1995.

At March 31, 1996, 32 lots remain,  of which 30 are under  contract.  Clow Creek
Farm sales increased  substantially  due to the  availability of lots during the
nine month period.  At March 31, 1996, 42 lots remain,  with 16 under  contract.
The reduction in Ashbury sales is due to the near sell-out of the project. Woods
of Rivermist  has 10 lots  remaining,  with 5 under  contract at March 31, 1996.
Creekside of Remington has 137 lots  remaining with no lots under  contract,  as
sales  have  been slow  since  the first  quarter  of 1996.  The  $424,000  loss
represents the write-off of  capitalized  costs related to a real estate project
which the Company decided not to exercise its options to purchase two parcels of
land.

Loan service fee income decreased 1.8% to $1.8 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996.  Although the average  balance of loans  serviced for others has
increased 7.5% to $946.1 million for the current nine month period,  compared to
$880.3  million in the prior nine month period,  loan  servicing  fees decreased
primarily due to amortization of purchased loan servicing rights,  which totaled
$256,000  for the current nine month  period,  compared to $55,000 for the prior
nine month period.

Deposit account service charges increased $1.2 million, or 52.6% to $3.6 million
for the nine months  ended  March 31,  1996,  due to a dramatic  increase in the
number of checking accounts generated by the Bank's direct mail checking account
program.

NON-INTEREST  EXPENSE - Non-interest expense for the nine months ended March 31,
1996 increased $1.7 million,  or 7.0% to $26.4 million compared to $24.7 million
for the nine  months  ended  March 31,  1995,  primarily  due to an  increase in
compensation and benefits.

Compensation and benefits increased $1.5 million for the nine months ended March
31, 1996, to $14.9 million.  The increase is a function of the 86.6% increase in
loan volume  during the  current  nine month  period  which has  increased  loan
officer   commissions   and  other   loan   department   related   compensation.
Additionally,  benefits expense has increased $352,000 due to higher FICA taxes,
employee benefit plan and training expenses.

EXTRAORDINARY  ITEM - The Company reported an extraordinary loss of $474,000 for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  This item  relates to the  prepayment  of
