     Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Basis of Presentation
     
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of FFBS Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiary, First Federal Bank for Savings.  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated for 
the purpose of the consolidated financial statements.  In
preparing the statement, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets and revenues and
expenses for the periods.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations
for the interim periods presented have been made. Such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted.  The results of operations for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the entire fiscal year.

(2) Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share for the three months ended September 30,
1996 have been computed on the basis of the weighted average 
number of common shares outstanding (1,483,227) and common stock
equivalent shares (45,052) outstanding.  Common stock equivalent
shares arise from stock option plans and a recognition and
retention stock plan.

4.  Loans classified for regulatory purposes or for internal

    impact the financial condition of the Company or its
    subsidiary bank, or the future operating results, liquidity,
    or capital resources.

5.  If all nonaccrual loans have been current throughout their 
    terms, interest income for the three months ended 
    September 30, 1996, and June 30, 1996, increased (decreased)
    by approximately $2,000 and ($10,000) respectively.

6.  Management stringently monitors assets that are classified
    as non-performing.  Non-performing assets include nonaccrual
    loans, loans past due 90 or more, and foreclosed properties.
    Management places loans on a nonaccrual status when it is
    determined that the borrower is unable to meet his
    contractual obligations or when interest or principal is 
    90 days or more past due, unless the loan is adequately
    secured by way of collateralization, guarantees, or other
    security.

7.  At September 30, 1996, management was not aware of any 
    potential problem loans not previously disclosed.


Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision
for loan losses based on management's periodic evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Such evaluation,
which includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility
may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters,
known and inherent risks in the portfolio, prevailing market
conditions, management's judgment as to collectibility, the
estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral,
historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant
recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance.

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of
             Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     The following discussion reviews the financial condition of
FFBS Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary First Federal
Bank for Savings as of September 30, 1996, and the results of
operations for the three month period ending September 30, 1996. 

Comparison of Changes in Financial Condition
at September 30, 1996 and at June 30, 1996

     At September 30, 1996, total assets were $125.7 million, an
increase of $499,000 from June 30, 1996.  Interest-bearing
deposits due from banks increased $1.7 million, or 46.60%, to
$5.4 million during the three month period as investment
securities decreased $991,000 to $26.7 million. This was
attributable to the maturity of an investment that was not
reinvested and the conversion of federal funds to cash.  During
the three month period, net loans receivable accounted for the
greatest change in total assets as the balance increased $1.5
million, or 1.85%, to $85.1 million. Foreclosed real estate
decreased to $0 at September 30, 1996, from $555,000 at June 30,
1996, due to the sale of the properties.  Total deposits
increased $121,000 to $99.3 million at September 30, 1996. 
Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $260,000 to
$748,000 at September 30, 1996, due primarily to the net tax
effect of the one-time special assessment on all "Savings
Association Insurance Fund" deposits, which was enacted on
September 30, 1996 to recapitalize the reserves of the FDIC. 
Total stockholder's equity remains stable at $24.6 million at
September 30, 1996.  Stockholder's equity was decreased by the
purchases of the Company's stock under a stock repurchase
program, and increased by earnings of $105,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Positive cash flows of $553,000 were provided by the
Company's operating activities for the three months ended
September 30, 1996.  Included in the operating activities of 
the bank was the accrual and tax effect of the FDIC special
assessment, which was added to net income since it will not
impact cash until payment, which is expected in late November,
1996.

Investing activities of the Company provided positive cash flows
of $91,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
resulting from the net maturity of investments over the purchase
of investments, the sale of foreclosed real estate, and offset by
loan originations netted against loan repayments.

     Financing activities provided positive cash flows of $68,000
due to the increase in deposits of $121,000 and the exercise
of stock options, which was partially offset by the repurchase of
the Company's stock.

     The Company is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets as defined by OTS regulations.  This requirement, which
may be varied at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic
conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of
deposits and short-term borrowings.  The required minimum
liquidity ratio is currently 5.0%.  At September 30, 1996, the
Bank's liquidity ratio was 29.69%.

     The OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to
meet three capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital standard; a
3% leverage (core capital) ratio; and an 8% risk-based capital
standard.  Although the core capital ratio is 3%, the OTS
regulations provide that an institution with less than 4% core
capital is deemed to be "undercapitalized".

     At September 30, 1996, the Bank's capital position exceeded

Comparison of Operating Results for the
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 

General

Net income of the Company for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 was $105,000 compared to $429,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995, a decrease of $324,000, or
75.52%, due primarily to the FDIC special assessment of $ 599,000
offset by a tax benefit of $223,000.  Excluding the net effect of
the special assessment, net income would have been $481,000,
which would have been an increase of $52,000 over the first
quarter earnings for the prior year.  

Interest Income

Interest income increased $114,000, or 5.18%, to $2.3 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996
due to an increase of $4.4 million in average-earning assets and
an increase in yield on average-earning assets to 7.73% from
7.63% for the three months ended September 30, 1995. 

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $33,000, or 2.92%, to $1.1 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 due to an increase in
average deposits of $4.1 million.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $81,000, or 7.51%, to $1.2 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 due to a increase
in the interest rate margin from 3.81% for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to 3.94% for the three months ended September
30, 1996.  The Company's average-earning assets increased $4.4
million while average deposits increased $4.1 million in
comparing the three month periods.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Bank's reserve for loan losses was considered sufficient to
absorb potential losses; therefore, no provisions for loan losses
was taken for either of the three months periods.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased $29,000, or 21.88%, to $161,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996.  Loan fees and service
charges have increased due to increased originations.  Loan
originations for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 were $14.2
million compared to $11.7 million for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1995.  NOW account fees have increased $18,000, or
29.78%, to $79,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996
compared to $61,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1995.  The increase is attributable to an increase of 197
accounts, or 7.21%, in the number of accounts since September 30,
1995 and increased fees for non-sufficient funds and negative
balances.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $660,000, or 116.57%, to $1.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared
to $566,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  The
increase is primarily due to the FDIC special assessment of
$599,000.  Also affecting the increase was the difference of
$55,000 in compensation and benefits, which was due primarily to
the valuation of shares to be released during the fiscal year for
allocation in the Employee's Stock Ownership Plan.  The shares
are reported at current fair market value.  The fair market value
of the stock at September 30, 1996 was $22.00 per share compared
to $17.75 at September 30, 1995.  

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense amounted to <$5,200> for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to $220,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995.  Tax savings of $223,000 were
recorded in accordance with the FDIC special assessment for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. The Company recorded
deferred income taxes of $18,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 due to timing differences.
