TRI-COUNTY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1997
(unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
of Tri-County Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), Tri-County Federal Savings Bank 
(formerly Tri-County Federal Savings and Loan Association) (the "Bank") and 
First Tri-County Services, Inc.  All significant intercompany balances and 
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-QSB and Article
10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all information and 
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete 
financial statements.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do 
not purport to contain all the necessary financial disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in
the circumstances and should be read together with the 1996 consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto of Tri-County Bancorp, Inc. and 
Subsidiaries included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
yearended December 31, 1996.  However, all normal recurring adjustments have
been made which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to the fair
presentation of the financial statements.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year 
ending December 31, 1997 or any other period. 

See Notes 2, 3 and 4.


NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, are 
computed on a primary basis.  Primary earnings per share is computed using the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding, net of unallocated ESOP 
shares and the potentially dilutive effect of stock options.  See Exhibit 11.


NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, Accounting for 
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  In accordance with SFAS No.
115, the Company classified its investment securities and mortgage-backed 
securities as either "held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale," or "trading."  
Management has determined that all applicable securities are either "held-to-
maturity" or "available-for-sale."

                                          -7-

<PAGE>
Investment and mortgage-backed securities designated as held-to-maturity are 
stated at cost adjusted for amortization of the related premiums and accretion 
of discounts, computed using the level yield method.  The Company has the 
positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.

Investment and mortgage-backed securities designated as available-for-sale are 
stated at estimated market value.  Unrealized gains and losses are aggregated
and reported as a separate component of equity capital, net of deferred taxes.
These securities are acquired with the intent to hold them to maturity, but 
they are available for disposal in the event of unforeseen liquidity needs.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

GENERAL

Tri-County Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on June 15, 1993, and
is the holding company of Tri-County Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank").  On 
September 28, 1993, the Bank completed its conversion from a mutual savings and
loan association to a stock form of ownership at which time the Company issued 
747,500 shares of Common Stock and utilized a portion of the proceeds to
acquire all of the issued shares of the Bank.

The Company is headquartered in Torrington, Wyoming and its principal business 
currently consists of the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Tri-County 
Federal Savings Bank.  The Bank's primary business is attracting retail
deposits from the general public and investing those deposits and other
borrowed funds in various loan products, including mortgage-backed and 
mortgage-related securities, federal agency securities and other investment 
securities. 

The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest earned on its assets, 
primarily its loans and securities portfolios, and its cost of funds, which 
consists of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings.  The Company's
net income also is affected by its provision for loan losses as well as non-
interest income, compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, Federal deposit
insurance premiums, other non-interest expenses, and income tax expense.  Other
non-interest expenses consist of real estate lending operations, legal
expenses, accounting services and other miscellaneous costs.  The earnings of 
the Company are significantly affected by general economic and competitive
conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies
and actions of regulatory authorities.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS
The total assets of the Bank increased by $84,721 during the first quarter of 
1997.

Securities available-for-sale increased by $428,362 during the first quarter of
1997.  A $1,000,000 security was purchased with funds borrowed from FHLB.  This
purchase was partially offset by principal payments and prepayments of $356,638
on mortgage-backed securities and an overall decrease in the market value of
the portfolio of  $226,051.

Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $474,867.  The decrease was the result
of principal payments and prepayments on the Bank's portfolio of mortgage-
backed securities.

Loans receivable decreased $26,380 during the first quarter of 1997.  During
this period the Bank originated or purchased portfolio residential mortgage 
loans totaling $914,020, consumer loans totaling $519,814, and a short-term 
commercial loan in the amount of $155,700.  By the end of the quarter, the Bank
had received full repayment of the short-term commercial loan and repayments 
totaling $1,465,216 on other loans.  Of the total mortgage loans originated or 
purchased during the quarter, $430,000 were adjustable rate and $484,000 were 
fixed rate loans.  Because of a lack of demand for certain types of loans in the
Bank's primary lending area, purchased or participation loans totaled 33.97% of
mortgage lending during the quarter.  The majority of purchased loans are 

                                         -9-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
residential real estate loans in Colorado mountain-resort communities and non-
residential real estate loans in western New Mexico.  Purchased or 
participation loans are subjected to the same underwriting standards and loan 
terms as those originated by the Bank for its portfolio.

LIABILITIES
Deposit balances increased by $377,370 and consisted of increases of $34,356 
and $654,271 in checking and savings deposits, respectively, and a decrease of
$311,257 in time deposits.  

Advances from FHLB decreased by $361,875 during the three-month period ended 
March 31, 1997.  As previously discussed, an advance totaling $1,000,000 was 
obtained to purchase securities classified as available-for-sale. The advance 
has a term of approximately one-year and was used to purchase a Federal Home 
Loan Bank callable security.  The advance's maturity date coincides with the 
first call date of the security.  The Bank was able to lock in a positive 
spread over the initial term of the advance.  A decision to renew the advance 
and hold the security if not called, or sell the security and payoff the 
advance will be made on or near the maturity date of the advance.  

Deferred income taxes decreased by $93,858 during the first three months of
1997 and was mainly the result of the application of SFAS No. 115, Accounting 
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which requires 
unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities to be reported, 
net of deferred income taxes, as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
The market value of these securities decreased $226,031 during the period, 
which resulted in a decrease in deferred income taxes.  Also, legislation was 
passed in August of 1996 which requires the Bank to establish tax reserves for 
bad debts and compute additions thereto using a six-year moving average of the
Bank's actual loss experience (the "Experience Method").  The additions to the 
tax reserves computed using the Experience Method can, within specified 
limitations, be deducted in arriving at taxable income.  However, the Bank had 
established reserves for loan losses totaling $415,000 at March 31, 1997, which
will be charged with any subsequent loan losses.  Therefore, the Bank will have
a difference in the treatment of loan losses for book and tax purposes and a 
deferred tax asset is being established for this difference.


STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The increase in additional paid-in capital of $12,260 was caused by the 
application of an accounting standard which requires charging current expense 
for the fair value of shares of stock committed to be released by the Bank's 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan and crediting the difference between the fair 
value and the cost of the shares to paid-in capital.

The increase in retained earnings was the result of net earnings totaling 
$228,938 which more than offset the decrease in retained earnings caused by the
payments of dividends of $0.15 per share totaling $91,312.

As discussed earlier, SFAS No. 115 requires unrealized gains and losses on 
securities classified available-for-sale to be shown as a separate component of
stockholders' equity in an amount net of deferred income taxes.  The market 
value of securities classified as available-for-sale decreased during the first
three months of 1997, which resulted in a decrease, net of deferred income tax,
of $149,193.





                                         -10-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
COMPARISON OF THE OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 
AND 1996

NET INCOME
Net income increased $71,146 or 45.09% during the first quarter of 1997 when 
compared to the same period of 1996.  Net interest income increased by $82,468,
non-interest income increased by $6,947 and non-interest expense decreased by 
$17,883.  The provision for income taxes increased by $36,152 or 45.70%.


INTEREST INCOME
Interest income from loans increased $160,477 or 27.76% for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The increase was the 
result of an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $7,293,654
and a slight increase in yield on the loans from 8.20% to 8.23%.  The increase 
in yield was primarily the result of the slight increase in average lending 
rates during 1997 when compared to the average rates in the previous year.

The increase of $203,016 in interest on securities available-for-sale was the 
result of an increase in the average balance of securities of $13,052,987 which
offset a slight decrease in the average yield on the portfolio from 6.34% to 
6.30%.

Interest on securities held-to-maturity decreased $90,611, which was caused by 
a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio of $6,180,321, which offset 
an increase in the yield on the portfolio from 7.15% to 7.45%.  The increase 
in yield was the result of the maturity of securities, which, on average, had 
a lower yield than the yield on the entire portfolio.  The proceeds of the 
maturities were used to fund loans and purchase available for sale securities.

The increase in income from other interest-earning assets of $2,030 was 
primarily caused by an increase in the average balance of these assets.  This 
category of assets consists primarily of interest earning demand and time 
deposits held at FHLB. 


INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense on deposits increased $18,210 during the first three months of
1997.  This increase was the result of an increase of $3,163,334 in the average
balance of deposits which more than offset the slight decrease in the average 
cost of deposits from 4.66% to 4.55%.  

The Bank took advantage of a relatively inexpensive source of funding available
through the FHLB to purchase financial instruments that yield a slightly higher
return than the rate charged on advances.  The average balance of these 
borrowings was $12,103,667 greater during the first quarter of 1997 than during
the first quarter of 1996 and the average cost increased 5.07% to 5.42%, which 
resulted in an increase of $174,234 in interest expense.  The cost of advances 
taken or renewed after the first quarter of 1996 was generally higher than the 
costs for the same period of the previous year.


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
No provision for loan losses was made during the first three months of 1997.  
The allowance for loan losses is based on Management's evaluation of the risk 
inherent in its loan portfolio after giving due consideration to the changes in
general market conditions and in the nature and volume of the Bank's loan 
activity.  The Bank intends to continue to provide for loan losses based on its
periodic review of the loan portfolio and general market conditions.  The
allowance for loan losses amounted to $415,000 at March 31, 1997.  While the 

                                         -11-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers 
adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurances that 
further additions will not be made to the loss allowance and that such losses 
will not exceed the estimated amounts.


NON-INTEREST INCOME  
Non-interest income increased $6,947 or 19.49% during the first quarter of 1997.

The increase in the gain on sale of loans was the result of an increase in the 
dollar amount of loans sold.  During the previous year, shares in a mutual fund
were redeemed at a $1,591 loss whereas there have been no redemptions during 
the current year.  The increase in service charges on deposits was primarily 
caused by an increase in the number of accounts subject to service charges.  
Other non-interest income decreased by $1,636 and was caused by many factors. 


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Overall, non-interest expense decreased $17,883 during 1997. 

Compensation and benefits increased by $9,411 in 1997 and was primarily caused 
by an increase in medical insurance costs and an increase in overall salaries.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $3,043 and was primarily caused by an
increase in data processing costs.  

The Bank paid an annualized assessment for deposit insurance equal to $0.65 per
$1,000 in deposits for the first quarter of 1997 which was $18,339 less than 
the amount paid for the first quarter of 1996.  This decrease was due to 
legislation passed in the third quarter of 1996 which significantly reduced 
premiums for deposit insurance.

Other net expenses decreased by $18,339 and was primarily the result of the 
discontinuance of a consulting agreement that provided an analysis of the 
Bank's balance sheet and advice on possible restructuring strategies and the 
decrease in legal fees incurred in the previous year for services to enhance 
shareholder value.

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes increased $36,152 for the quarter ended March 31,
1997.  This increase was caused primarily by an increase in pre-tax income of 
$107,298.  Also, because the Bank had established reserves for loan losses 
which will be charged with any subsequent loan losses and because the Bank will
be allowed a deduction for losses incurred on loans foreclosed after December 
31, 1995 for tax purposes, the Bank will have a difference in the treatment of 
loan losses for tax and financial purposes.  As previously stated, a deferred 
tax asset is being established by the Bank and the effect of this change in the
first quarter of 1997 was a reduction in the expense for income taxes totaling 
$17,600 which offset an additional accrual of tax for the year ended December 
31, 1996 in the amount of $12,952.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by 
the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.  This requirement, which may 
vary from time to time, depends upon, among other things, economic conditions 
and the amount of cash flows needed for operations and is based upon a 
percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings.  The required ratio currently
is 5%.  The Bank's liquidity averaged 31.85% during the first quarter of 1997.

                                          -12-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for 
deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes from escrow accounts on mortgage
loans, repayment of borrowings, when applicable, and loan funding commitments.
The Bank also adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to meet its asset/
liability objectives.

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayments 
of loans and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB advances, sales and maturities of
investments and funds provided from operations.  While scheduled loan 
amortization and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable 
source of funds, deposit flow and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by 
market interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  The Bank manages 
the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance.  In 
addition, the Bank invests its excess funds in short- term time deposits that 
provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.  Interest-bearing deposits at 
March 31, 1997 amounted to $1,376,232.  The Bank's liquidity, represented by 
cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and 
financing activities.  These activities are summarized as follows:

                                                             3 Months Ended

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business 
management.  Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments 
such as Federal funds and interest-bearing deposits.  If the Bank requires 
funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements 
exist with the FHLB, which provides an additional source of funds.

The Bank anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet its 
current loan commitments.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank had outstanding 
commitments of $2,364,885.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one 
year or less at March 31, 1997 totaled $29,410,902.  Based on past experience, 
management believes that a substantial portion of such deposits will remain 
with the Bank.

The following table sets forth the Bank's capital position at March 31, 1997, 
as compared to the minimum regulatory requirements:

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, 
presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which require the measurement of 
financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars 
without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over 
time due to inflation.  The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased 
cost of the Company's operations.  Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all
the assets and liabilities of the Company are financial.  As a result, interest
rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of
general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the 
same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
