                   FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The  accompanying   unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts  of  Financial  Bancorp,   Inc.  (the  "Company"),   its  wholly  owned
subsidiaries,  842  Manhattan  Avenue Corp.  which  manages real  property,  and
Financial  Federal  Savings  Bank  (the  "Bank")  a  federally  chartered  stock
association, and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, Finfed Development Corp.,
which  participates  in a joint venture for the  development of land and sale of
lots, Finfed Funding Ltd., which serves as a conduit for funding  investments in
Finfed  Development Corp., and F.S. Agency Inc., which is engaged in the sale of
annuities.  All significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been
eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein reflect all
normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary
for a fair  presentation  of the results of  operations  for the interim  period
presented.  The results of  operations  for the three and six months ended March
31, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of results that may be expected for the
entire fiscal year.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 1993, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"),  "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities"  which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1993.  SFAS 115 establishes  standards of financial
accounting and reporting for investments in equity  securities that have readily
determinable  fair  values and for all  investments  in debt  securities.  Those
investments are required to be classified into one of three categories:  held to
maturity,  available for sale, or trading.  Pursuant to SFAS 115, investments in
debt  securities that the enterprise has the positive intent and ability to hold
to maturity  are  classified  as held to  maturity  securities  and  reported at
amortized cost. Debt and equity  Securities that are bought and held principally
for the  purpose  of  selling  them in the near term are  classified  as trading
securities  and are  reported at fair value,  with  unrealized  gains and losses
included in  earnings.  Debt and equity  securities  not  classified  as trading
securities nor as  held-to-maturity  securities shall be classified as available
for sale securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains or
losses reported in a separate  component of  stockholders'  equity.  The initial
application  of SFAS  115,  effective  October  1,  1994 did not  result  in any
reclassification  of securities to the available for sale category,  as the Bank
elected  to  maintain  its  original  intent  of  holding  its  investments  and
mortgage-backed securities until maturity.

As permitted by the FASB's "A Guide to  Implementation of SFAS 115 on Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities",  the Bank reassessed the
classification  of its held to  maturity  portfolio  during  the  quarter  ended
December  31,  1995.  As a result  of such  reassessment,  the Bank  transferred
investment  securities  with a book  value  of  $1,989,839  and a fair  value of
$2,005,630  from held to maturity to available for sale. In connection with such
transfer,  the  unrecognized  gain, net of deferred income taxes, of $ 8,843 was
recognized and classified as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

In May 1993,  the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
114, ("SFAS 114"),  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. "SFAS 114
generally  would  require all  creditors to account for impaired  loans,  except
those loans that are accounted for at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair
value, at the present value of the expected future cash flows  discounted at the
loan's  effective  interest  rate.  SFAS 114  also  provides  that  in-substance
foreclosed  loans  should not be  included in real  estate  owned for  financial
reporting  purposes,  but rather should be included in the loan portfolio.  SFAS
114 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, and earlier
application is encouraged.  In October 1994, the FASB amended certain provisions
of SFAS 114 via the issuance of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No.
118 ("SFAS 118"),  "Accounting  by Creditors  for  Impairment of a Loan - Income
Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS 118 amends SFAS 114 by eliminating provisions
describing  how a  creditor  should  report  income  on  an  impaired  loan  and
increasing disclosure  requirements as to information on recorded investments in
certain  impaired loans and how a creditor  recognizes  related interest income.
The effective date of SFAS 118 is the same as for SFAS 114. SFAS 114, as amended
by SFAS 118, was adopted effective October 1, 1995. Such adoption did not have a
material  adverse effect on the Company's  consolidated  financial  condition or
results of operations.

Certain  amounts  for the three and six months  ended  March 31,  1995 have been
reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
121 ("SFAS  121"),  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." SFAS 121 establishes  accounting standards
for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable  intangibles,  and
goodwill  related to those assets to be held and used and for long-lived  assets
and certain identifiable  intangibles to be disposed of. SFAS 121 does not apply
to  financial  instruments,  long-term  customer  relationships  of a  financial
institution  (i.e.  core  deposit  intangibles),  mortgage  and other  servicing
rights,  or deferred tax assets.  SFAS 121 requires that  long-lived  assets and
certain  identifiable  intangibles  to be held and used by an entity be reviewed
for impairment  whenever  events or changes in  circumstances  indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such cases, an impairment
loss is to be  recognized  if the carrying  value of such asset exceeds its fair
value. In regard to long-lived  assets to be disposed of either through sales or
abandonment,  such assets are to be carried the lower of cost of fair value less
costs to sell.  SFAS 121 is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December
15, 1995 and  restatement  of  previously  issued  financial  statements  is not
permitted.  SFAS 121, when adopted,  is not expected to have a material  adverse
effect  on  the  Company's   consolidated  financial  condition  or  results  of
operations.

In June 1995, the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
122, ("SFAS 122") "Accounting for Mortgage  Servicing  Rights".  SFAS 122 amends
FASB Statement No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities",  to
require that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize as separate assets,  rights
to service  mortgage  loans for  others,  however  those  servicing  rights were
acquired,  should such loans be sold or  securitized  and the  related  mortgage
servicing rights retained. The servicing rights are to be recorded based upon an
allocation of the total  investment in related loans to the relative fair values
of the  loans and the  separated  servicing  rights  retained,  providing  it is
practical to estimate those fair values. SFAS 122 is effective  prospectively in
fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1995 and  early  application  is
encouraged.  Retroactive capitalization of mortgage servicing rights retained in
transactions in which a mortgage banking  enterprise  originates  mortgage loans
and sells or

                                      -9-
<PAGE> 10



securitizes  those loans  before the adoption of this  statement is  prohibited.
SFAS 122, when adopted, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In October 1995,  FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
123,  ("SFAS  123")   "Accounting  for  Stock-Based   Compensation".   SFAS  123
establishes   financial  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  stock-based
employee  compensation  plans.  Those plans  include all  arrangements  by which
employees receive shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer or
the employer  incurs  liabilities  to employees in amounts based on the price of
the employer's  stock.  SFAS 123 defines a fair value based method of accounting
for an employee  stock option or similar  equity  instrument  and encourages all
entities  to adopt  that  method  of  accounting  for all their  employee  stock
compensation  plans.  However,  it also  allows an entity to continue to measure
compensation  costs for those plans using the  intrinsic  valued based method of
accounting  prescribed  by APB Opinion No. 25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to
Employees". Entities electing to continue the use of the accounting method under
APB Opinion 25 must make pro forma  disclosures of net income and, if presented,
earnings per share,  as if the fair value based method of accounting  defined in
SFAS 123 had been applied.  SFAS 123 is effective for transactions  entered into
during fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995.  SFAS 123, when adopted,
is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's  consolidated
condition or results of operations.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income per common share and common stock equivalents is computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock  outstanding
adjusted for the unallocated  shares held by the ESOP. Stock options granted are
considered in earnings per share as common stock equivalents, if dilutive, using
the treasury stock method.

Item 2.

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

GENERAL

Financial Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") is the holding company for Financial Federal
Savings Bank  ("Financial  Federal" or "Bank"),  which  converted to a federally
chartered  stock  savings  association  on August  17,  1994 and to a  federally
chartered stock savings bank on October 20, 1994. The Bank is  headquartered  in
Long Island City, New York and operates four full service branches in Queens and
one in Brooklyn. Deposits of the Bank are insured up to the applicable limits of
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC). The Bank is subject to regulation
by the Office of Thrift Supervision  ("OTS") and the FDIC. The Company is listed
on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "FIBC".

The Company's  results of operations  are generally  dependent on the Bank.  The
Bank's sources of earnings  primarily  consist of net interest income,  which is
the  difference  between the income  earned on interest  earning  assets and the
expenses paid on interest  bearing  liabilities.  The results of operations  are
also affected,  to a lesser extent, by non-interest  income, which includes loan
servicing  fees and  charges,  and  other  miscellaneous  income.  In  addition,
operations are impacted by non-interest  expenses such as employee  salaries and
benefits,  office  occupancy,  data  processing  and federal  deposit  insurance
premiums.

The  Bank  is  primarily  engaged  in  the  origination  of  one-to-four  family
residential  mortgage loans, and to a lesser extent  multi-family and commercial
real estate mortgage loans, and residential and commercial  construction  loans.
As a community-oriented institution, the Bank is generally engaged in attracting
retail  deposits  from the areas  surrounding  its branch  offices.  To a lesser
extent,  the Bank may borrow funds from the FHLB or through  reverse  repurchase
agreements.  These funds are then generally  concentrated in lending  activities
throughout the New York City metropolitan area.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As  of  March  31,  1996,  the  Company's  total  assets  were  $251.9  million,
representing  a $23.1  million,  or a 10.1%  increase from $228.8  million as of
September 30, 1995. During the same period,  deposits increased by $7.5 million,
or 4.0%,  to $194.0  million as of March 31,  1996,  from  $186.5  million as of
September  30,  1995.  Furthermore,  advances  from the FHLB  increased  by $5.0
million to $10.4  million,  at March 31,  1996,  as compared to $5.4  million at
September 30, 1995.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by
$6.0 million, to $13.1 million at March 31, 1996, from $7.1 million at September
30, 1995.  The treasury  tax and loan  account and other  short-term  borrowings
increased to $4.9 million at March 31,  1996,  from zero at September  30, 1995.
Asset growth was primarily funded by the $7.5 million increase in deposits,  the
$5.0  million  increase  in FHLB  advances,  in  addition  to the $10.9  million
increase in securities sold under  agreements to repurchase and other short-term
borrowings.

Investment  securities available for sale increased to $5.7 million at March 31,
1996,  as  compared  to  zero at  September  30,  1995.  In  accordance  with an
implementation  guide for SFAS 115,  "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities," released by FASB on November 15, 1995, which permitted a
one-time reassessment and related  reclassification,  no later than December 31,
1995, the Bank, during this window period,  realigned its investment  securities
portfolio by transferring $2.0 million of U.S. Treasury securities from the held
to maturity to available for sale  portfolio.  The Bank realigned its investment
securities portfolio in order to provide greater flexibility and to maximize its
total rate of return. In addition,  during the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the
Bank  purchased a 5.0 million U.S.  Treasury note and classified it as available
for sale.

As of  March  31,  1996,  investment  securities,  held to  maturity,  primarily
consisted of medium-term U.S.  Government Agency securities,  with features such
as calls and/or interest rate "step-ups",  increased $7.1 million,  or 18.3%, to
$46.1  million  from $38.9  million,  exclusive  of $5.7  million in  investment
securities which are classifed as available for sale. Mortgage-backed securities
decreased  $6.2  million,  or 10.0%,  to $55.8 million as of March 31, 1996 from
$62.0 million as of September 30, 1995,  due to the continuing  acceleration  of
repayment  as interest  rates  decrease.  Loans  receivable  increased  by $16.3
million, or 14.8%, to $126.4 million as of March 31, 1996 from $110.1 million as
of  September  30,  1995.  This 14.8%  increase  in loans  receivable  primarily
resulted  from the purchase of $7.9 million of  residential  one-to-four  family
mortgage loans, and $8.4 million of loan originations, net of repayments.

Real estate held for investment increased $190,000,  or 5.7%, to $3.7 million as
of March 31, 1996 from $3.5 million as of September  30, 1995.  This increase is
attributable to the transfer of a building, a former branch office, owned by the
Bank, to a subsidiary of the Company, during its first fiscal quarter of 1996.

Non-performing  loans  totaled  $2.1  million,  or 1.65% of total loans at March
31,1996 as compared to $1.9  million,  or 1.7% of total loans at  September  30,
1995. At March 31, 1996, non-performing assets totalled $6.1 million, or 2.4% of
total  assets,  as  compared  to $6.1  million,  or 2.7% of total  assets  as of
September  30, 1995.  The  Company's  allowance  for loan losses  totalled  $1.4
million at March 31, 1996, which represents a ratio of allowance for loan losses
to non-performing  assets and to total loans of 22.42% and 1.06%,  respectively,
as compared to 20.5% and 1.1.%, respectively, at September 30, 1995. Of the $1.4
million in  allowance  for loan  losses,  $717,000 is  attributable  to two loan
participations with the Thrift Association Service Corporation.

Total deposits at March 31, 1996,  increased by $7.5 million, or 4.0%, to $194.0
million from $186.5  million at September 30, 1995.  Furthermore,  advances from
the FHLB,  increased by $5.0  million,  or 93.0%,  to $10.4 million at March 31,
1996.  During the six month period ended March 31, 1996,  securities  sold under
agreements to repurchase  increased by $6.0 million,  to $13.1 million from $7.1
million at September 30, 1995. The treasury tax and loan account and other short
term  borrowings  increased  to $4.9  million  at March 31,  1996,  from zero at
September 30, 1995. The increase in borrowings enabled the Bank to fund new loan
originations,  purchases of one-to-four  family  adjustable rate loans,  and the
purchase of investment securities.

Total  stockholders'  equity was $26.8  million at March 31, 1996,  reflecting a
$344,000,  or a 1.3%,  decrease from $27.2  million at September  30, 1995.  The
decrease in  stockholders'  equity was the result of the Company  completing its
third repurchase program.  During the six month period ended March 31, 1996, the
Company repurchased 98,598 common shares, at an aggregate cost of $41.3 million,
or at an  average  price per  common  share of $13.04.  At March 31,  1996,  the
Company had 1,873,365 common shares outstanding and the book value per share was
$14.32.

ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

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

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totalled $494,601, or $0.27
per share as compared  to  $330,721,  or $0.16 per share for the  quarter  ended
March 31, 1995. The $163,880 or 49.6% increase was primarily  attributable  to a
$1.0 million,  or a 29.7% increase in interest income and a $47,132  increase in
non-interest income, offset in part by an $727,918 increase in interest expense,
during the quarter  ended March 31,  1996.  For the six month period ended March
31, 1996,  net income  increased  $290,425,  or 42.2% to $978,359,  or $0.53 per
share, from $687,934, or $0.34 per share for the same period in 1995.

The return on average  assets  equalled  0.82% and 0.83% for the quarter and the
six months  ended March 31, 1996,  respectively,  as compared to 0.66% and 0.74%
for the quarter ended and the six months ended March 31, 1995, respectively. The
Company's return on average equity equalled 7.35% and 7.22%, for the quarter and
six months ended March 31, 1996,  respectively,  compared  with 4.49% and 4.67%,
for the quarter and the six months ended March 31, 1995, respectively.

The Company's net interest income increased $277,090,  or 14.2%, to $2.2 million
for the quarter  ended March 31, 1996,  from $1.9 million for the quarter  ended
March 31, 1995.  For the six month  period  ended March 31,  1996,  net interest
income increased $519,184,  or 13.5%, to $4.4 million, from $3.8 million for the
same period in 1995. The increase in net interest income for the quarter and six
months ended March 31, 1996,  was primarily  due to the continued  leveraging of
the balance sheet and investing the proceeds from  borrowings and deposit growth
in new loan purchases and originations and purchases of investment securities.

As a result,  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1996,  average  interest  earning
assets  increased  by $44.8  million,  or 24.2%,  to $230.3  million from $185.5
million the same quarter last year.  The  increase in average  interest  earning
assets was offset by a $46.9 million,  or a 29.2%  increase in interest  bearing
liabilities to $207.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,  from $160.7
million for the same quarter last year. For the six months ended March 31, 1996,
average interest earning assets increased by $49.2 million,  or 27.9%, to $225.3
million,  or 27.9%,  from $176.1  million  for the same  period  last year.  The
increase  in average  interest  earning  assets  was  offset by a $49.7  million
increase in interest  bearing  liabilities  to $201.3 million for the six months
ended  March 31,  1996,  as  compared  to $151.6  million for the same six month
period in 1995.

The Company's net interest margin decreased by 31 basis points to 3.86%, for the
quarter  ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to 4.17% for the quarter ended March
31, 1995. For the six month period ended March 31, 1996, the net interest margin
decreased by 48 basis points to 3.87%,  as compared to 4.35% for the same period
in 1995.  The  Company's  net interest  spread  decreased 20 basis points and 46
basis points to 3.44% and 3.43%,  for the quarter and the six months ended March
31, 1996,  respectively,  compared  with 3.64% and 3.89% for the same periods in
1995,  respectively.  The  narrowing  of the  interest  rate spread is primarily
caused by the Bank's  competitive  deposit  pricing in an effort to attract  new
certificate  of deposits  during the middle of fiscal 1995 and the leveraging of
the balance  sheet in an effort to increase  net  interest  income.  The average
yield on interest earning assets was 7.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
as compared to 7.30% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,  and the average cost
of interest bearing  liabilities was 4.19% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
as  compared to 3.66% for the quarter  ended March 31,  1995.  For the six month
period ended March 31, 1996,  the average yield on interest  earning  assets was
7.63%, as compared to 7.23% for the same period in 1995, and the average cost of
interest bearing liabilities was 4.20%, as compared to 3.34% for the same period
in 1995.

The Company's provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and
the six months ended March 31, 1996 increased by $40,208 and $64,208, to $76,000
and $130,000,  respectively. The increase in provisions for loan losses reflects
management's  on-going  effort  to  maintain  adequate  allowances,   given  the
significant increase in loan originations and the purchase of one-to-four family
residential mortgage loans.

Non-interest income, for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, increased $47,132, or
105.2%, to $91,944, as compared to $44,812 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
For the six month  period ended March 31, 1996,  non-interest  income  increased
$112,075,  or 196.5%,  to $169,104  from  $57,029 for the six month period ended
March 31, 1995. The increase in non-interest  income for the quarter ended March
31, 1996, is primarily attributable to the $20,020 gain on sale of U.S. Treasury
securities and the increase of $19,999 in income  realized from fees and service
charges.  The $112,075 increase in non-interest  income for the six months ended
March 31, 1996,  is primarily  attributable  to the $20,020 gain on sale of U.S.
Treasury  securities and the $44,274  increase in income  realized from fees and
service charges. In addition, non-interest income increased during the six month
period  ended  March 31,  1996,  due to the  $34,026  decrease  in loss from the
operation  of the Bank's  real  estate  joint  venture,  as compared to the same
period in 1995.

Non-interest  expenses  decreased,  marginally,  by  $30,640,  or 2.2%,  for the
quarter  ended March 31,  1996,  from $1.4  million for the same period in 1995.
During the six month period ended March 31, 1996, non-interest expenses modestly
increased by $6,071,  or 0.23%, from $2.6 million for the six month period ended
March 31, 1995.  For the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1996,  the ratio
of operating  expenses to average assets  decreased 58 basis points and 56 basis
points, to 2.21% and 2.22%, respectively, as compared to 2.79% and 2.78% for the
same periods in 1995.

During  the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1996,  salaries  and  employee  benefits
decreased by $10,489,  or 1.6%, to $664,677 from $675,166 for the same period in
1995. This modest decrease in

                                      -16-

<PAGE> 17



salaries and employee  benefits was partially due to the  postponement of salary
increases for officers and a reduction in officer and employee staffing by means
of  attrition.  For the six month  period  ended March 31,  1996,  salaries  and
employee  benefits  decreased by $4,314, or 0.33%, to $1,311,182 from $1,315,486
for the same period in 1995.  For the quarter  ended March 31,  1996,  occupancy
expense  decreased by $15,832 to $118,853 from $134,685 for the same period last
year. For the six months ended March 31, 1996,  occupancy  expense  decreased by
$20,049, to $231,333 from $251,382 for the same period in 1995. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the collection of rental income on its newly purchased
Brooklyn branch building. Equipment expense for the quarter and six months ended
March 31,  1996,  increased by $14,606 and  $36,241,  to $138,760 and  $276,410,
respectively,  from $124,154 and $240,169,  respectively for the same periods in
1995.  The  increase in  equipment  expense for the quarter and six months ended
March 31, 1996,  represents  costs associated with the Bank's demand deposit and
check  processing  servicing  fees and and other  vendor  related  services  and
contracts.  Advertising  expense, for the quarter and six months ended March 31,
1996,  decreased by $25,790 and $30,973,  to $20,018 and $45,067,  respectively.
The Company has limited  its  advertising  expenditures  in an effort to improve
earnings.

For the quarter ended March 31, 1996,  income tax expense  increased by $150,774
to $391,316 as compared to $240,542 for the same quarter in 1995, as a result of
the increase in income  before  taxes.  For the six month period ended March 31,
1996,  income tax  expense  increased  by  $270,555  to  $770,255 as compared to
$499,700  for the same  period in 1995,  as a result of the  increase  in income
before taxes.

INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS

Deposits of the Bank are  presently  insured by the SAIF.  Both the SAIF and the
Bank  Insurance  Fund  ("BIF"),  the  deposit  insurance  fund that  covers most
commercial bank deposits,  are  statutorily  required to be  recapitalized  to a
1.25% of insured  reserve  deposits  ratio.  In view of the BIF's  achieving the
1.25% ratio,  the FDIC adopted a new  assessment  rate schedule of 4 to 31 basis
points for BIF members for the second half of 1995. Most recently,  the FDIC has
voted to reduce the BIF assessment  schedule  further for the first half of 1996
so that most BIF members will pay the statutory minimum semiannual assessment of
$1,000. With respect to SAIF member institutions,  the FDIC adopted a final rule
retaining  the  existing  assessment  rate  schedule  applicable  to SAIF member
institutions  of 23 to 31  basis  points.  As long as the  premium  differential
continues, it may have adverse consequences for SAIF members,  including reduced
earnings and an impaired ability to raise funds in capital markets. In addition,
SAIF members,  such as the Bank,  could be placed at a  substantial  competitive
disadvantage  to BIF members  with  respect to pricing of loans and deposits and
the ability to achieve lower operating costs.

Under the legislation pending in Congress, a special assessment would be imposed
on the amount of deposits held by SAIF-member institutions,  including the Bank,
to  recapitalize  the SAIF fund. The amount of the special  assessment  would be
left to the  discretion of the FDIC but is generally  estimated at between 79 to
85 basis  points of insured  deposits.  Management  cannot  predict  whether the
legislation  imposing such a fee will be enacted,  or, if enacted, the amount of
any special assessment or when and whether ongoing SAIF premiums will be reduced

                                      -17-
<PAGE> 18



to a level  equal to that of BIF  premiums.  Management  can  also  not  predict
whether or when the BIF and SAIF will merge.

The Bank's assessment rate for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 was 23.7
basis points and the premium paid for this period was  $390,000.  A  significant
increase in SAIF  insurance  premiums or a  significant  special  assessment  to
recapitalize  the SAIF  would  likely  have an adverse  effect on the  operating
expenses  and results of  operations  of the Bank.  Based on the Bank's  deposit
insurance  assessment  base as of March 31, 1995, an 79 to 85 basis point fee to
recapitalize  the SAIF would  result in a  $773,000  to  $832,000  payment on an
after-tax basis.

THRIFT RECHARTERING LEGISLATION

Bills have been  introduced  into  Congress  which would  eliminate  the federal
thrift charter,  These bills would require that all federal savings associations
convert to national banks or state banks no later than January 1, 1998 and would
treat all sate savings  associations as state banks as of that date. All savings
and loan  holding  companies  would  become  bank  holding  companies  under the
legislative proposals and would be subject to the activities  restrictions (with
some  activities  grandfathered)  applicable  to  bank  holding  companies.  The
legislative  proposals would also abolish the OTS; savings associations would be
regulated by the bank regulators depending on the type of bank charter selected.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board would be responsible for the
regulation  of savings and loan holding  companies.  Management  cannot  predict
whether or when this  legislation  will be  enacted.  However,  any such  future
legislation  could  eliminate  the  institution's  ability  to engage in certain
activities,   have  significant   adverse  tax  effects  and  otherwise  disrupt
operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank is required to maintain an average  daily  balance of liquid assets (as
defined  in the  regulations)  equal to a monthly  average  of not less than the
specified  percentage of its net  withdrawable  deposit accounts plus short-term
borrowings.  This liquidity  requirement is currently 5%. OTS  regulations  also
require each member savings  institution to maintain an average daily balance of
short-term liquid assets at a specified  percentage  (currently 1%) of the total
of its net withdrawable  deposit accounts and borrowings  payable in one year or
less.  Monetary  penalties  may be imposed for  failure to meet these  liquidity
requirements.  The  liquidity  of the Bank at March  31,  1996 was  8.7%,  which
exceeded the then applicable 5% liquidity requirement. It's short-term liquidity
ratio at March 31, 1996, was 3.1%.

The primary  investment  activities of the Bank are the  origination of mortgage
loans and the purchase of investment securities and mortgage-backed  securities.
The Company's primary sources of funds are the Bank's deposit accounts, proceeds
from principal and interest  payments on loans and investments,  and to a lesser
extent,  advances and  overnight  borrowings  from the FHLB,  as well as reverse
repurchase  agreements.  While  maturities and scheduled  amortization of loans,
mortgage-backed  securities and investment securities are predictable sources of
funds, deposit flows,  mortgage  prepayments and callable investment  securities
are greatly influenced by market interest rates, general economic conditions and
competition within the financial industry.

                                      -18-

<PAGE> 19



At March 31,  1996,  the Bank had  outstanding  loan  commitments  to  originate
mortgage  loans of $7.2  million  and $3.0  million in  commitments  to purchase
investment securities. Management anticipates that it will have sufficient funds
available and borrowing  capability  to meet its current loan  originations  and
commitments to purchase investment  securities.  Certificates of deposit,  which
are scheduled to mature in one-year or less from March 31, 1996  totalled  $60.3
million,  of which  $13.3  million  represent  "Silver  Certificate  of Deposit"
accounts,  which allow one withdrawal of principal per quarter  without an early
withdrawal penalty for direct deposit customers 62 years of age or older.

The Bank  generally  maintains  competitive  pricing of its deposits in order to
maintain a steady deposit growth balance and to a lesser extent,  when necessary
supplements  its deposit base with  advances and overnight  borrowings  from the
FHLB, as well as reverse repurchase agreements.

Although the OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to meet a 1.5%
tangible  capital ratio and a 3.0% leverage  (core)  capital  ratio,  the prompt
corrective  action standards also establish,  in effect, a minimum 2.0% tangible
capital  standard,  a 4.0% leverage (core) capital ratio (3.0% for  institutions
receiving the highest rating on the CAMEL financial  institution rating system).
The Bank's tangible capital and core capital totalled $18.2 million, or 7.43% at
March 31,  1996,  far in  excess  of the  regulatory  requirements.  The  Bank's
risk-based capital ratio as of March 31, 1996 was $18.2 million, or 19.50%, also
well in excess of the regulatory capital requirement of 8.0%.
