              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)  Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited Consolidated Condensed 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
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they  do not  include  all the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.

         In the opinion of  management,  the  Consolidated  Condensed  Financial
Statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
adjustments)  necessary  to  represent  fairly the  financial  condition  of FFW
Corporation  as of September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997,  and the results of its
operations, changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996. Financial Statement  reclassifications have been made for the
prior period to conform to  classifications  used as of and for the period ended
September 30, 1997.

         Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998.

(2)  Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

         Earnings  per share of Common  Stock is computed by dividing net income
for the period by the weighted  average  number of common stock and common stock
equivalents  outstanding during the three month periods ended September 30, 1997
and 1996.  Weighted  average  number of shares  used in the  earnings  per share
computations were 690,936 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997.

         On October 26,  1993,  the  shareholders  of the Company  ratified  the
adoption  of the  Company's  1992  Stock  Option  and  Incentive  Plan  and  the
Management  Recognition  Plan and Trusts  ("MRP").  Pursuant to the Stock Option
Plan, 84,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock are reserved for issuance,  of
which the Company has granted  options on 76,442  shares.  As of  September  30,
1997, options on 38,066 shares of the Company's Common Stock remain unexercised.

(3)  Regulatory Capital Requirements

         Pursuant to the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement
Act of l989 ("FIRREA"),  savings  institutions  must meet three separate minimum
capital-to-asset  requirements.  The following table summarizes, as of September
30,  1997,  the capital  requirements  for the Bank under  FIRREA and its actual
capital ratios.  As of September 30, 1997, the Bank  substantially  exceeded all
current regulatory capital standards.

Federal  Savings Bank of  Wabash(the  "Bank") and FirstFed  Financial of Wabash,
Inc. All significant  inter-company  transactions and balances are eliminated in
consolidation.  The Company's  results of operations are primarily  dependent on
the Bank's net interest margin,  which is the difference between interest income
on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
The  Bank's  net  income  is also  affected  by the  level  of its  non-interest
expenses,  such as employee compensation and benefits,  occupancy expenses,  and
other expenses.

Financial Condition

         The Company's total assets increased $1.9 million, or 1.1%, from $180.1
million at June 30, 1997 to $182.0 million at September 30, 1997.  This increase
was due  primarily to funds  generated  by an increase in advances  from FHLB of
$2.0  million.  Net loans  receivables  increased  $5.6  million and  securities
available-for-sale  increased  $10.0  million.  All of  which  contributed  to a
decrease  in cash and  cash  equivalents  of  $13.9  million.  Loan  demand  and
liquidity needs may result in additional  borrowings if deposits and loan growth
remain at current levels.
<PAGE>
         Total securities  available-for-sale increased $10.0 million from $40.4
million at June 30, 1997 to $50.4 million at September  30, 1997.  This increase
was primarily the result of purchases of callable bonds with the proceeds of the
branch  acquisition  which  closed  on June  13.  1997.  The  available-for-sale
portfolio  consists  primarily of  municipal  securities,  government  agencies,
mortgage-backed  securities  and  to a  lesser  extent  mutual  funds  and  FNMA
preferred stock.

         Net loans  receivable  increased  $5.6  million,  or 4.9%  from  $114.2
million at June 30, 1997 to $119.8  million at September 30, 1997.  The increase
in the loan portfolio for the quarter resulted,  primarily,  from an increase in
non-mortgage  loans  of  $3.5  million  due  to an  increase  in  origination's.
Management,  consistent with its  asset/liability  objectives,  will continue to
sell  all of its  newly  originated  fixed-rate  mortgage  loans  with  terms to
maturity greater than 15 years.

         Total  deposits  decreased  $1.2 million or 1.0% from $116.1 million at
June 30, 1997 to $114.9  million at September  30, 1997.  For the quarter  ended
September 30, 1997,  Savings,  Now and MMDA accounts  increased  $395,000 or .7%
while  certificates  of  deposit  decreased  $1.7  million  or 2.9%.  Management
believes  that deposit  growth may become more costly with the  increased use of
specials with higher interest rates and the competitive nature of the markets we
serve.

         Total borrowed funds  increased $2.0 million from $44.8 million at June
30, 1997 to $46.8 million at September 30, 1997.  The increase  consisted of new
short term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis.

         Total  shareholders'  equity  increased  $469,000 from $17.1 million at
June 30, 1997 to $17.6 million at September 30, 1997. The increase resulted from
net income of $470,000,  the exercise of options for $36,000, and an increase in
the market  value of  investments,  net of tax of $79,000,  which was  partially
reduced by $128,700 for the payment of dividends.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the Quarters Ended  September 30, 1997 and
September 30, 1996

         General.  Net income  increased  by $391,000 for the three months ended
September 31, 1997 respectively, as compared to the three months ended September
30,  1996.  The  increase  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1997 was
primarily the result of increases in net interest income,  and the result of the
one time SAIF  assessment  of $337,800  net of taxes paid in 1996.  All of these
items are discussed in greater detail below.

         Net Interest Income.  Net interest income  increased  $276,000 or 23.6%
for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996  respectively.  This was
primarily  the result of an increase in average  interest-earning  assets  which
exceeded  the   increase  in  average   interest-bearing   liabilities,   and  a
corresponding increase in the spread earned.

Interest Income.  Interest income  increased  $579,000 to $3.5 from $2.9 million
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively. The increases in
interest  income  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997 were due to
continued growth in interest-earning assets including mortgage loans, commercial
and  consumer  loans and  investment,  as  compared  to the same  periods  ended
September 30, 1996.  These increased  interest-earning  assets are the result of
competitive pricing,  marketing, and the re-pricing of adjustable-rate loans and
mortgage-backed securities.
<PAGE>
         Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased  $303,000 to $2.1 million
from  $1.8  million  for  the  quarter   ended   September  30,  1997  and  1996
respectively.  For the three months ended  September  30, 1997,  the increase in
interest  expense  was  due  to an  increase  in  borrowed  funds  and  deposits
outstanding  as  compared to the same  periods in 1996.  Interest  rates,  while
remaining  steady have  increased  the use of higher  rate  specials by everyone
trying to attract deposits.  If interest rates remain at or near current levels,
management  anticipates the rate of shift to certificates from passbook accounts
will  continue.  thereby  raising our interest  expense cost, as the  difference
between rates paid on existing certificates and passbooks expands.

         Provision  for Loan Losses.  The  provision  for loan losses  increased
$180,000 to $200,000 from $20,000 for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1997 and
1996 respectively.  The loan loss provisions are based on management's quarterly
analysis of the allowance for loan losses.  The  provisions  for the three month
period reflect an increase in  non-mortgage  lending and the inherent  riskiness
and the number of these loans as compared to 1-4 family mortgage loans. With the
expansion  into  commercial  lending the company  will  continue to increase its
allowance for loan losses and make future additions to the allowance through the
provision  for loan losses as loan growth,  economic and  regulatory  conditions
dictate. Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level
which is deemed  consistent  with the level of risk in the  portfolio,  economic
conditions,  etc.  there can be no assurance  that future losses will not exceed
estimated  amounts or that  additional  provisions  for loan  losses will not be
required in future periods.

         Non-interest  Income.  Non-interest  income  increased  by  $75,000  to
$234,000  from  $158,000  for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997 and 1996
respectively.  The increase was the primarily the result of increased fee income
on deposit  accounts  and  commission  income of $54,000 and increase in gain on
sales of  loans  to the  Federal  Home  Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  of  $5,500.
Management believes that with the lower interest rates we will see a increase in
the  gain on sales of loans  to  Freddie  Mac for the  remainder  of the year as
compared to last year.

         Non-Interest  Expense.   Non-interest  expense  decreased  $348,000  to
$910,000  from $1.3 million for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996
respectively.  For the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  SAIF deposit
premiums  decreased  $596,000 due to the one time  assessment paid in 1996. This
decrease  in the SAIF  premium was offset by an increase  in,  compensation  and
benefits  expenses of $103,000 for increased  staff related to our new branch in
South Whitley and our  commercial  loan  department  compared to 1996; and other
expenses  increased  by $156,000  for data  processing  and cost  related to the
branch acquisition in South Whitley compared to 1996.

         Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense  increased  $128,500 to $98,000
from a credit of $31,000 for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997 compared to
quarter ended 1996.  The increase was due to the tax effect of the one time SAIF
assessment for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

         Non-Performing  Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for
loan  losses  is  calculated  based  upon an  evaluation  of  pertinent  factors
underlying the types and qualities of the Company's loans.  Management considers
such factors as the repayment  status of a loan,  the  estimated net  realizable
value of the underlying  collateral,  the borrower's  ability to repay the loan,
current and anticipated  economic  conditions  which might affect the borrower's
<PAGE>
ability to repay the loan and the Company's past statistical  history concerning
charge-offs.  The Company's  allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 1997,
was $726,000 or 0.6% of total loans. The June 30, 1997 allowance for loan losses
was $572,000,  or 0.5% of total loans.  Total loans  classified as  substandard,
doubtful or loss as of  September  30,  1997 were $1.3  million or 0.7% of total
assets.  Management has considered  non-performing  assets and total  classified
assets in establishing the allowance for loan losses.

         The ratio of non-performing  assets to total assets is one indicator of
the exposure to credit  risk.  Non-performing  assets of the Company  consist of
non-accruing  loans,  accruing loans  delinquent 90 days or more, and foreclosed
assets which have been acquired as a result of  foreclosure or  deed-in-lieu  of
foreclosure.

         Total non-performing  assets increased $53,000 to $355,000,  or .22% of
total assets at September  30,  1997,  from  $180,000 or .11% of total assets at
December 31, 1996.  The increase in  non-performing  assets was primarily due to
the addition of two 1-4 family loans for $123,000.  Foreclosed  assets increased
$11,000 due to the repossession of several vehicles.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary sources of funds
are  deposits,  principal  and  interest  payments on loans and  mortgage-backed
securities,  FHLB Indianapolis advances and funds provided by operations.  While
scheduled  loan  and   mortgage-backed   security  repayments  and  maturity  of
short-term  investments are a relatively  predictable  source of funds,  deposit
flows are greatly  influenced by general  interest rates,  economic  conditions,
competition  and,  most  recently,  the  restructuring  occurring  in the thrift
industry.  Current Office of Thrift Supervision  regulations require the Bank to
maintain  cash and eligible  investments  in an amount equal to at least 5.0% of
customer  accounts  and  short-term  borrowings  to assure  its  ability to meet
demands for withdrawals and repayment of short-term borrowings.  As of September
30, 1997, the Bank's  liquidity ratio of 5.95%,  exceeds the minimum  regulatory
requirements.
<PAGE>
         The Company uses its capital resources  principally to meet its ongoing
commitments  to fund  maturing  certificates  of deposits and loan  commitments,
maintain is liquidity and meet  operating  expenses.  At September 30, 1997, the
Company has  commitments to originate  loans totaling $2.2 million.  The Company
considers  its  liquidity  and  capital  resources  to be  adequate  to meet its
foreseeable  short- and long-term  needs. The Company expects to be able to fund
or  refinance,  on a  timely  basis,  its  material  commitments  and  long-term
liabilities.

         Regulatory  standards  impose the  following  capital  requirements:  a
risk-based  capital standard  expressed as a percent of risk-adjusted  assets, a
leverage ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets,  and a tangible capital
ratio expressed as a percent of total adjusted assets. As of September 30, 1997,
the Bank exceeded all fully phased-in regulatory capital standards.

         At September 30, 1997, the Bank's  tangible  capital was $12.1 million,
or 6.8% of adjusted total assets,  which is in excess of the 1.5% requirement by
$9.4 million.  In addition,  at September 30, 1997, the Bank had core capital of
$12.1  million,  or 6.8% of  adjusted  total  assets,  which  exceeds  the  3.0%
requirement by $6.8 million. The Bank had risk-based capital of $12.8 million at
September  30,  1997 or 12.7% of  risk-adjusted  assets  which  exceeds the 8.0%
risk-based capital requirements by $4.7 million.

         As required by federal law,  the OTS has  proposed a rule  revising its
minimum core capital  requirement  to be no less  stringent than that imposed on
national banks. The OTS has proposed that only those savings  associations rated
a composite  one (the highest  rating) under the MACRO rating system for savings
associations  will be  permitted  to operate at or near the  regulatory  minimum
leverage  ratio of 3.0%.  All other  savings  associations  will be  required to
maintain  a minimum  leverage  ratio of 3.0% at least an  additional  100 to 200
basis points.  The OTS will assess each individual savings  association  through
the  supervisory  process on a  case-by-case  basis to determine the  applicable
requirement.  No  assurance  can be  given  as to the  final  form  of any  such
regulation,  the date of its effectiveness or the requirement  applicable to the
Bank.  As a result of the prompt  corrective  action  provisions  of federal law
discussed  below,  however,  a savings  association must maintain a core capital
ratio  of at least  4.0% to be  considered  adequately  capitalized  unless  its
supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3.0% ratio.

         Under the requirements of federal law all the federal banking agencies,
including the OTS, must revise their risk-based  capital  requirements to ensure
that such requirements  account for interest rate risk,  concentration of credit
risk and the risks of  non-traditional  activities,  and that they  reflect  the
actual performance of and expected loss on multi-family loans.

         The  OTS  had  adopted  a  final  rule  that  requires   every  savings
association  with more than normal  interest  rate risk to deduct from its total
capital, for purposes of determining compliance with such requirement, an amount
equal to 50% of its interest-rate  risk exposure  multiplied by the market value
of its assets. This exposure is a measure of the potential decline in the market
value of portfolio equity of a savings association,  greater than 2%, based upon
a hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates (whichever
results in a greater  decline)  affecting  on-and  off-balance  sheet assets and
liabilities.  The effective  date of the new  requirement  is July 1, 1994.  Any
savings  association  with less than $300 million in assets and a total  capital
ratio in excess of 12% is exempt from this requirement unless the OTS determines
otherwise.  It is anticipated  that since the Bank has less than $300 million in
assets,  and a risk-based capital ratio in excess of 12%, it will be exempt from
this rule.

         As of  September  30,  1997,  management  is not  aware of any  current
recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented,
would have or are  reasonably  likely to have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.
