</TABLE>

      All  of the directors and executive officers of  FSBI  are
citizens of  the  United  States and during the last five years,
none  of these directors or  executive  officers  [i]  has  been
convicted of a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
or similar  misdemeanors)  nor  [ii]  been  a  party  to a civil
proceeding  of  a  judicial  or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and, as a result  of  such  proceeding,  was  or is
subject  to  a  judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state  securities  laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.


ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

      FSBI  and  Lincoln Financial Bancorp, Inc. ("LFB") entered 
into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated March  23,
1996,  as amended June 6, 1996, and  related  Restated  Plan  of  
Merger dated June 6, 1996 (collectively, the "Merger Agreement"),  
pursuant  to  which, effective September 6, 1996, a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of  FSBI merged  into  LFB, LFB became a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of FSBI, and each  share of LFB (except  for  shares 
owned by FSBI) was converted  into the  right to receive $22.01
cash.   FSBI  used working capital and  dividends from  LFB  to
fund the aggregate cash purchase price for the shares.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

      The purpose of the acquisition by FSBI  of  the  shares of
LFB  pursuant to the Merger Agreement was to acquire control  of
100% of  the outstanding shares of LFB, and, indirectly, 100% of
the outstanding shares of LFB's wholly-owned subsidiary, Lincoln
Federal Savings  Bank.   As a result of the acquisition of LFB's
common stock by FSBI pursuant  to  the Merger Agreement, [i] the
common stock of LFB is eligible for  termination of registration
pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities  Exchange  Act of
1934,  [ii]  the common stock of LFB will cease to be authorized
to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system or a registered
national securities  association,  and  [iii] the members of the
board of directors of LFB in office prior to the consummation of
the acquisition have been replaced by the  members  of the board
of directors of FSBI.  In addition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
FSBI  and  Lincoln  Federal  Savings  Bank  have entered into  a
purchase and assumption agreement pursuant to  which  such  FSBI
subsidiary  will  purchase  certain  assets  and  assume certain
deposit  liabilities  of  Lincoln  Federal  Savings  Bank.   The
dividend  policy  of LFB and its subsidiaries will be based  on,
among other things,  considerations  of  the  desirability  of a
payment  from  such  subsidiaries  to  FSBI.   Except as set out
above,  FSBI has no present definitive plans or proposals  which
relate to  or would result in any other material change in LFB's
business or  corporate structure or any change in LFB's charter,
bylaws or instruments  corresponding thereto; provided, however,
that FSBI may formulate  plans  or proposals to take such action
with  respect to any or all of the  foregoing  matters  and  any
other matters as FSBI may determine.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

      a.  FSBI beneficially owns 436,457 shares (100%) of common
stock of LFB.

      b.   FSBI  has  sole  voting  and  dispositive  power with
respect to the 436,457 shares (100%) of common stock of LFB.

      c.   Except  as  described  herein,  FSBI has not effected
transactions in the common stock of LFB during  the  past  sixty
days.

      d.   To  the  knowledge  of  FSBI, no other person has the
right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends
from, or the proceeds from the sale  of, the shares deemed to be
beneficially held by FSBI.



<PAGE>

ITEM    6.    CONTRACTS,   ARRANGEMENTS,   UNDERSTANDINGS,    OR
RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     Except for the Merger Agreement, FSBI is not a party to any 
contract, arrangement, understanding or  relationship  (legal or
otherwise)  with respect to any  security of LFB,  including but
not  limited  to  transfer  or voting  of any  of the securities, 
finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts
or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or
the giving or withholding of proxies.


ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

      Exhibit A   Agreement  and  Plan  of Reorganization  dated
                  March 23, 1996, as amended  June  6, 1996, and
                  related Restated Plan of Merger dated  June 6,
                  1996  among  FSBI, FSB Acquisition Corporation
                  and LFB, is incorporated  by  reference to the
                  Proxy   Statement   of  LFB  filed  with   the
                  Securities  and  Exchange   Commission   under
                  Section  14 of the Securities Exchange Act  of
                  1934 on June 26, 1996.
