                        Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
                        ------------------------------------------

         The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of First
Savings  Bancorp of Little  Falls,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  and its wholly owned
subsidiary, First Savings Bank of Little Falls, FSB (the "Savings Bank") and the
Savings  Bank's  wholly owned  subsidiaries,  The First Service  Corporation  of
Little  Falls  and  Redeem,  Inc.  All  significant  intercompany  balances  and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         These  consolidated  financial  statements  were prepared in accordance
with instructions for Form 10-QSB and therefore,  do not include all disclosures
necessary for a complete  presentation of the statements of financial condition,
statements of income,  and statements of cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  However,  all  adjustments  which are, in the
opinion  of  management,  necessary  for the fair  presentation  of the  interim
financial statements have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal
recurring  nature.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997 or any other interim period.

         These  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the consolidated
financial  statements and related notes which are  incorporated  by reference in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

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


FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1997
- ------------------------------------

         Total assets of the Company  increased $6.5 million or 3.9% from $166.7
million at December 31, 1996 to $173.3 million at June 30, 1997 primarily due to
a $9.4 million increase in loans receivable,  and a $7.0 million increase in net
investment  securities  held to maturity , offset by a $4.9 million  decrease in
interest  bearing demand deposits in other banks, a $1.9 million decrease in net
mortgage-backed  securities held to maturity, and a $3.5 million net decrease in
securities available for sale. Funding for the increase in asset growth in loans
receivable  and net  investments  held to maturity  was mainly  provided by FHLB
borrowings of $568,000,  the increase in deposits of $5.5 million,  the decrease
in interest bearing demand deposits in other banks of $4.9 million, $1.9 million
in  repayments  in net  mortgage-backed  securities  held to  maturity  and $3.5
million in proceeds and repayments of securities available for sale.

  At June 30, 1997,  non-performing  assets were $3.8 million, or 2.18% of total
assets,  compared to $ 4.3 million,  or 2.49% of total assets at March 31, 1997.
At June 30, 1997,  non-performing assets were comprised of $2.3 million mortgage
loans,  $25,000  consumer  loans,  and $1.5 million of other real estate  owned.
These credits are well  collateralized and therefore,  the Savings Bank does not
anticipate  any  material  losses  from  their  disposition.   The  decrease  in
attributable to a $900,000  non-residential loan which was paid current,  offset
by the a increase  of two  residential  loans  totaling  $400,000  which  became
non-accrual during the three month period ended June 30, 1997.

         Deposits increased $5.5 million or 3.5% from $156.6 million at December
31, 1996 to $162.1  million at June 30, 1997.  The increase  resulted  primarily
from the growth of  certificates  of deposit,  Now  accounts  and the  Company's
response to the general  increase in rates offered by other bank's in the market
area.  The  Company  did not offer  promotional  rates on  deposits  during this
quarter.  The Bank  increased its FHLB  borrowings by $568,000  during the three
month period ended June 30, 1997.  The new  borrowings  is a amortizing  advance
over a ten year period that was used to fund a loan for a community reinvestment
project located in our local community.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------

         Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997  increased  $72,000
or 52% from  $139,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 to $211,000
for three month period ended June 30, 1997.  This  increase was primarily due to
an $87,000  increase in net interest  income, a $12,000 increase in non-interest
income,  and a $15,000  decrease in  non-interest  expense,  offset by a $42,000
increase in income taxes.

         For the three months ended June 30, 1997, net interest income increased
$87,000 from $1.06 million for the same period in 1996 to $1.15 million in 1997.
The main reason for the increase was that the average balances of the securities
and  loan  portfolios  increased  $15.5  million  due to asset  growth  from the
origination  of whole loans and the purchase of  investment  securities  held to
maturity  during the three month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same
period last year.  Declining interest rates partially offset the increase in net
interest  income.  The interest rate spread and net interest  margin declined to
2.85% and 2.84%,  respectively  during  the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997
compared  to 2.93% and 2.91%,  respectively,  for the same  period of 1996.  The
lower spread and margin are primarily due to a lower yield on earning assets and
higher cost of funds in the second quarter of 1997.

         Non-interest income increased $12,000 or 30% from $40,000 for the three
month  period  ended June 30, 1996 to $52,000 for the three month  period  ended
June 31,  1997.  The  increase  was  primarily  the  result of a gain on sale of
investment  securities available for sale totaling $8,000 during the three month
period  ended June 30,  1997  compared  to no sales  during the same period last
year.

         Non-interest  expense  decreased  $15,000 or 1.7% from $868,000 for the
three month  period  ended June 30, 1996 to $853,000  for the three month period
ended June 30, 1997.  This decrease was  primarily due to a $50,000  decrease in
federal deposit insurance premiums which was offset by an increase of $20,000 in
loss on foreclosed real estate.  Federal deposit insurance  decreased due to the
recapitalization  of the Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund of the FDIC.  The
Company's  insurance  premium rate was lowered to 6.7 cents per $100 of deposits
from 23 cents per $100 of  deposits.  The  increase in loss on  foreclosed  real
estate was due to higher holding costs and settlement expenses on disposition of
properties  during the three month  period  ended June 30, 1997  compared to the
same  period  last  year.  Non-interest  expenses  other  than  federal  deposit
insurance and loss on foreclosed real estate in aggregate,  increased $15,000 or
2.0%.

Income taxes were  $115,000 and $73,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The increase resulted from increased pre-tax earnings.




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------

         Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased  $57,000 or
19% from  $303,000  for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 to $360,000 for
six month period  ended June 30, 1997.  This  increase  was  primarily  due to a
$68,000  increase in net  interest  income,  a $2,000  increase in  non-interest
income,  and a $25,000  decrease in non-interest  expense which were offset by a
$39,000 increase in income taxes.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net interest  income  increased  $68,000
from $2.11  million  for the same period in 1996 to $2.18  million in 1997.  The
main reason for the increase was that the average balances of the securities and
loan portfolio  increased $14.6 million due to asset growth from the origination
of whole loans and the purchase of investment securities held to maturity during
the six month period ended June 30, 1997  compared to the same period last year.
Declining  interest rates partially  offset the increase in net interest income.
The interest  rate spread and net interest  margin  declined to 2.73% and 2.72%,
respectively,  during the six months  ended June 30, 1997  compared to 2.93% and
2.90%,respectively, for the same period of 1996. The lower spread and margin are
primarily due to a lower yield on earning assets and higher cost of funds in the
first half of 1997.

         Non-interest  income  increased  $2,000 or 3% from  $81,000 for the six
month  period ended June 30, 1996 to $83,000 for the six month period ended June
30, 1997.  The increase was primarily  the result of securities  sold during the
three month  period  ending  June 30,  1997  partially  offset by  decreases  in
mortgage late charges.

         Non-interest  expense  decreased $25,000 or 1.5% from $1.67 million for
the six month  period  ended June 30,  1996 to $1.65  million  for the six month
period  ended June 30,  1997.  This  decrease  was  primarily  due to a $102,000
decrease in federal deposit insurance  premiums which was partially offset by an
increase of $14,000 in advertising  and  promotion.  Federal  deposit  insurance
decreased due to the recapitalization of the Savings Association  Insurance Fund
of the FDIC. The Company's  insurance  premium rate was lowered to 6.7 cents per
$100 of deposits from 23 cents per $100 of deposits.  Advertising  and promotion
expense primarily increased due to the Company's "Grand Reopening"  promotion of
the Little  Ferry  branch  which took place  during the fourth  quarter of 1996.
Non-interest  expenses  other than federal  deposit  insurance  and  advertising
increased in aggregate, $63,000 or 4.2%.

Income  taxes were  $199,000 and $161,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The increase resulted from increased pre-tax earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

         The  Savings  Bank is required  to  maintain  minimum  levels of liquid
assets,  as  defined  by the  Office Of  Thrift  Supervision  regulations.  This
requirement,  which may be  varied  from time to time  depending  upon  economic
conditions  and  deposit  flows,  is based upon a  percentage  of  deposits  and
short-term  borrowings.  The required  minimum  ratio is 5%. The Savings  Bank's
liquidity ratio averaged 17.18% during the six month period ending June 1997.

         The  Savings  Bank  anticipates  that it  will  have  sufficient  funds
available to meet its current loan  commitments and normal savings  withdrawals.
At June 30, 1997,  the Savings Bank had  outstanding  loan  commitments  of $6.7
million. In addition, it had $90.9 million in certificates of deposits scheduled
to mature within one year of June 30, 1997.  Based upon  historical  experience,
management believes that a substantial portion of such deposits will remain with
the Savings Bank.

         As of June 30,  1997,  the Company had  regulatory  capital that was in
excess of  applicable  limits.  The Company is required  under  certain  federal
regulations to maintain  tangible capital equal to at least 1.5% of its tangible
assets,  core capital  equal to at least 3.00% of adjusted  tangible  assets and
risk-based capital equal to at least 8.00% of risk-weighted  assets. At June 30,
1997,  the Savings Bank had tangible  capital  equal to 5.19% of adjusted  total
assets,  core capital equal to 5.19% of adjusted  total assets and total capital
equal to 12.83% of risk-weighted assets.
