ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     On November 13, 1997, St. Francis Capital Corporation issued a press
release announcing that it would restate its previously reported results of
operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997 and for the three
months ended September 30 and June 30, 1997, respectively.  The press release
indicated that the restatement of results of operations, which would reduce the
Registrant's twelve month earnings by $3.4 million pre-tax or $2.0 million
after-tax, was the result of certain declines in fair value on four of its
private issue mortgage-backed securities.  A copy of the press release is
attached as Exhibit 99.

Jon D. Sorenson                          St. Francis Capital Corporation To
Chief Financial Officer                  Restate Year-End Results
(414) 486-8700


Release Time: 1:00 p.m. central on November 13, 1997

Brookfield, WI - November 13, 1997....... St. Francis Capital Corporation

(NASDAQ: STFR) today announced that it plans to restate its previously reported

results of operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997 as a

result of certain declines in fair value judged to be other than temporary on

four of its private issue mortgage-backed securities.  The restatement will

reduce the Company's twelve month earnings by $3.4 million pre-tax or $2.0

million after-tax.   Earnings per share for the twelve months ended September

30, 1997 will be $2.20 compared to the previously reported $2.57.  The Company

intends to file an amended Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 1997

reflecting the effects of the restatement on that quarter, and the remainder of

the effects of the restatement will be reflected in the Company's financial

results for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

     As a result of updated default, severity and delinquency data on certain

of its private issue mortgage-backed securities published and received

subsequent to the October 31, 1997 press release of the Company's three and

twelve month results, and the resulting discovery of an error in the Company's

impairment analysis of these issues for the third and fourth quarter of fiscal

1997, the Company now believes that four of its private issue mortgage-backed

securities, two of which are currently rated "A" and the other two which are

currently rated "BBB", were impaired at September 30, 1997.  Therefore, in

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these securities were

written down to fair value and any impairment loss must flow through the

Company's income statement.  Prior to the restatement, the Company's cost basis

in these securities was $12.5 million.  The impairment loss will result in a

new cost basis of $9.1 million from these four issues.  "We are currently

implementing additional measures designed to insure that potential impairment

situations in our securities portfolio will be uncovered and monitored at 

<PAGE>   2

an earlier stage of development," stated Thomas R. Perz, President and CEO of

the Company.  "With the increasing sophistication of analysis techniques, as

well as more detailed information relating to the specific portfolios behind

many of the mortgage-backed securities pools becoming increasingly available,

we will continue to strive to ascertain impairment issues early on."

     The four issues under impairment are private issue mortgage-backed

securities backed by single-family loans relating to properties located

primarily in California.  The underlying loans have experienced significant

delinquencies and foreclosures and the Company learned that recoveries on these

loans were less than previously realized and that the various subordinate and

cash positions within the mortgage-backed structures may no longer protect the

Company's position in the securities.  The Company has written down the

securities to fair value which is a level where the remaining cash flows should

provide a return at a market rate of interest income on the remaining cost

basis.  In November, the largest of the issues, which was carried at $8.8

million, was sold at the adjusted carrying value.

     As stated in the earlier press release, the Board of Directors of the

Company has authorized the repurchase of up to 10% of the Company's outstanding

stock, or approximately 523,000 shares, in open market transactions.  The

Company intends to commence the consideration for repurchases under this

program on November 18, 1997.  Mr. Thomas R. Perz, President and Chief

Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We continue to believe that the

repurchase of shares can enhance shareholder value by increasing earnings per

share of the remaining shares."

     St. Francis Capital Corporation, with $1.7 billion in assets is the

holding company for St. Francis Bank, F.S.B.  The Company operates 23 offices

in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Walworth and Kenosha counties.
