                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
                                December 31, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

In accordance with Item 310 of Regulation S-B promulgated by the U.S. 
Securities and Exchange Commission, the consolidated financial statements and 
accompanying notes thereto have been condensed and therefore do not contain 
all disclosure required by generally accepted accounting principles.  These 
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto should be 
read in conjunction with Drummond Financial Corporation's (the "Corporation")
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the 
Corporation's Form 10-KSB Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1997.  All dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the 
Corporation's financial position as of December 31, 1997, and the results of 
its operations and changes in its financial position for the periods ended 
December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.  All adjustments were of a normal 
recurring nature.  Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative 
of those to be expected for the full year.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period's financial 
statements to conform to the current period's presentation.

While the Corporation reported net income in fiscal 1997 principally as a 
result of an extraordinary gain on early extinguishment of debt, the 
Corporation had an accumulated deficit of $15.1 million as at June 30, 1997. 
The Corporation now focuses on investment and merchant banking activities 
while de-emphasizing asset-based commercial lending.  However, there is no 
assurance that such business strategies will improve future cash flow.

Note 2.  Bonds Payable
         -------------

The Corporation did not make its semi-annual Bond interest payment due on 
January 25, 1998.  The Corporation has advised the trustee that it will make 
the payment on February 17, 1998, which is within the 30 day cure period 
provided for under the terms of the Bond indenture.

Note 3.  Adoption of Accounting Standard Regarding Impaired Loans
         --------------------------------------------------------

Under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", when a 
loan is impaired as defined in the statement, a lender shall measure 
impairment at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at 
the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, based on a 
loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan 
is collateral dependent.  The
                                       -7-
<PAGE>  8

Corporation has adopted a measurement method on a loan-by-loan basis.  By 
definition, the Corporation's non-performing loans are impaired.  A specific 
reserve is established for each impaired loan equal to the amount by which the
Corporation's recorded investment in the loan exceeds the net present value of
the loan determined in accordance with FASB Statement No. 114.

The Corporation continued to apply FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for 
Contingencies", to provide an allowance on a pool of unimpaired loans.

As of December 31, 1997, the Corporation had identified impaired finance 
receivables with a recorded investment totaling $2.1 million and had 
established a specific allowance for credit losses totaling $2.1 million in 
connection therewith.  Finance receivables, which are also referred to as 
recorded investment in loans, include the outstanding loan balance (net of any
charge-offs), any accrued interest, deferred loan fees and reimbursable costs.
The activity with regard to the allowance for credit losses during the six 
months ended December 31, 1997 is as follows:

                                                                 Six Months

estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections.

2. These amounts represent future costs to be incurred in connection with the 
sale of collateral and/or the collection of the loans, and are subtracted from
the net future expected cash collections.

3. The general reserve is determined in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5
on a pool of unimpaired loans.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended December 31, 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------

Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1997 decreased to $0.8 million 
from $0.9 million in the comparative period of 1996.  Revenues from interest 
and loan fees decreased to $0.7 million in the six months ended December 31,
1997 from $0.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 1996. The 
Corporation's loans generally earn interest at the prime rate charged by a 
major U.S. bank (the "Bank") plus 2% to 7%.  The Bank's prime rate was 8.50%
during the six months ended December 31, 1997, compared to 8.25% during the 
six months ended December 31, 1996. In the six months ended December 31, 1997,
the Corporation recognized a $0.1 million net loss on securities, compared to 
$0.6 million in the comparative period of 1996.  Revenues from dividends and 
other activities decreased to $0.2 million for the six months ended December 
31, 1997 from $0.6 million for the comparative period of 1996.

Costs and expenses increased to $1.7 million for the six months ended December
31, 1997 from $1.0 million in the comparative period of 1996.  General and 
administrative expenses decreased to $0.6 million for the six months ended 
December 31, 1997 from $0.8 million for the comparative period of 1996,
primarily as a result of reduced legal fees and loan collection costs.  In the 
six months ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation reported a recovery of 
credit losses of $0.2 million, compared to $1.7 million for the comparative 
period of 1996.

Interest expense decreased to $1.2 million for the six months ended December 
31, 1997 from $1.9 million for the comparative period of 1996, primarily as a 
result of a reduction in the principal amount outstanding of the Corporation's 
15 Year Variable Rate Bonds (the "Bonds").  For the six months ended December 
31, 1997, interest was accrued at the rate of approximately 8.50% per annum,
compared to approximately 8.25% per annum for the six months ended December 
31, 1996.

No income tax provision was recognized for the six months ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively, except for the payment of a minimum tax of 
$1,000.  The Corporation has deferred tax benefits with respect to net 
operating loss carry-forwards which have not been recognized as there is no 
assurance that they will be realized.

In the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation reported a loss of 
$0.9 million as a result of equity accounting for its 30% interest in the 
common shares of ICHOR Corporation ("Ichor"), a company quoted on the NASDAQ 
SmallCap Market.

For the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation recognized a net 
loss of $1.4 million or $0.55 per share, compared to $0.1 million or $0.09 per 
share in the comparative period of 1996.  The Corporation's results of 
operations for the six months ended December 31, 1997 included $0.5 million of 
extraordinary gains on the early extinguishment of debt.  The net loss in the 
current period was primarily attributable to the decrease in the recovery of 
credit losses, the Corporation's equity interest in the loss of Ichor and 
reduced revenues from dividends and other activities, which were partially 
offset by reduced interest expense and the extraordinary gain on debt 
extinguishment.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended December 31, 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------

In the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation had revenues of 
$(0.1 million), compared to revenues of $0.4 million in the comparative 
quarter of 1996.  Revenues from interest and loan fees were $0.4 million in 
the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.  The 
Corporation's loans generally earn interest at the prime rate charged by the 
Bank plus 2% to 7%. The Bank's prime rate was 8.50% during the three months 
ended December 31, 1997, compared to 8.25% during the comparative period of 
1996.  In the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation recognized

$0.6 million in the comparative period of 1996.

Costs and expenses were $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31,
1997, compared to a recovery of $13,000 in the comparative period in 1996. 
General and administrative expenses decreased to $0.2 million for the three 
months ended December 31, 1997 from $0.6 million for the comparative period of 
1996, primarily as a result of reduced legal fees and loan collection costs.  
In the three months ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation reported a 
recovery of credit losses of $0.2 million, compared to $1.6 million for the 
comparative period of 1996.

Interest expense decreased to $0.7 million for the three months ended December 
31, 1997 from $0.9 million for the comparative period of 1996, primarily as a 
result of a reduction in the principal amount outstanding of the Bonds.  For 
the three months ended December 31, 1997, interest was accrued at the rate of 
approximately 8.50% per annum, compared to approximately 8.25% per annum for 
the three months ended December 31, 1996.

Corporation's results of operations for the three months ended December 31,
1997 included $0.1 million of extraordinary gains on the early extinguishment 
of debt. The net loss in the current period was primarily attributable to the 
decrease in the recovery of credit losses, the Corporation's equity interest 
in the loss of Ichor and reduced revenues from dividends and other activities,
which were partially offset by reduced interest and general and administrative 
expenses.

period of 1996.  Collections on loan receivables provided cash of $7.3 million 
in the six months ended December 31, 1997, compared to $3.1 million in the 
same period of 1996, primarily as a result of the repayment in full of four

loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million with a term of one year

The Corporation did not make its semi-annual interest payment on the Bonds due

the payment on February 17, 1998, which is within the 30 day cure period 
provided for under the terms of the indenture governing the Corporation's

compliance with the terms of the Bond Indenture.

During the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation proceeded to 
collect and/or settle and restructure the non-performing loans in its 
portfolio.  The Corporation anticipates that its cash
                                       -12-

and investments on hand, and its expected loan interest and principal 
collections, will be sufficient to service the Corporation's debt costs and 
cover the day-to-day general and administrative expenses of the Corporation 
during the short-term.

Finance Receivables
- -------------------

The Corporation's loan portfolio at December 31, 1997 aggregated $8.0 million 
in finance receivables (principal plus interest and reimbursable costs less 
unamortized commitment fees) due from four borrowers, compared to an aggregate 
of $12.0 million in finance receivables due from seven borrowers at December 
31, 1996.  During the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Corporation 
advanced one new loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million and 
loans to four borrowers, with finance receivables totaling $5.6 million, were 
repaid in full.

At December 31, 1997, the Corporation's loan to Heartland, Inc., who had 
finance receivables totaling $2.1 million, had been classified as non-
performing and the borrower had filed a petition for bankruptcy and had ceased 
to operate. The Corporation designates finance receivables as non-performing 
when interest and/or principal payments are contractually delinquent for more 
than 90 days, or earlier if the Corporation has material evidence of the 
borrower's inability to meet its commitments under the loan agreement (e.g.,
the borrower files for bankruptcy protection). 

The Corporation maintains an allowance for credit losses against which amounts 
deemed uncollectible are charged off and subsequent recoveries, if any, are 
credited.  See Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements 
included elsewhere herein regarding the allowance for credit losses for the 
six months ended December 31, 1997.
