                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (UNAUDITED)

- -   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed by Fidelity Federal Bancorp (the
"Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries for interim financial reporting
are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial
reporting.  All adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the periods reported, consist only of normal recurring
adjustments, and have been included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements.  The results of operations for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the
remainder of the year.


- -   NET INCOME PER SHARE

Primary and fully diluted earnings per share have been computed based on the
weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the
periods.  Common stock options and warrants are considered to be common
equivalent shares to the extent they are dilutive.

- -   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stockholders' equity has been adjusted to reflect the 10% stock dividend
distributed on May 27, 1996.  All per share and average share data have been
adjusted to reflect the stock dividend.

In connection with the Company's second debt and equity rights offering
completed January 31, 1995, the Company has reserved 346,500 shares of its
common stock for issuance upon exercise of 1,500 outstanding warrants.  Each
warrant represents the right to purchase 231 shares of common stock.  The
warrants were valued at $100 per warrant, carry an exercise price of $8.93 per
share, and expire on January 31, 2005.  At March 31, 1997, a total of 39,732
of the shares originally reserved had been issued and 306,768 remained
reserved and unissued.

In connection with the Company's first debt and equity rights offering
completed on April 30, 1994, the Company has reserved 415,500 shares of its
common stock for issuance upon exercise of 1,500 outstanding warrants.  Each
warrant represents the right to purchase 277 shares of common stock.  The
warrants were valued at $100 per warrant, carry an exercise price of $6.22 per
share, and expire on April 30, 2004.  At March 31, 1997, a total of 52,907 of
the shares originally reserved had been issued and 362,593 remained reserved
and unissued.

- -   CASH DIVIDEND

On January 15, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per
share payable on April 7, 1997 to stockholders of record on March 3, 1997.

- -   COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES

United Fidelity Bank, fsb ("Savings Bank") and Village Securities Corporation
are two subsidiaries of the Company.  The Savings Bank is a federally
chartered savings bank, and is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Village Securities Corporation was formed in December, 1994, but is presently
inactive.

The Savings Bank's subsidiaries, Village Housing Corporation, Village
Management Corporation and Village Community Development Corporation, and
Fidelity Federal Capital Corporation (the "Affordable Housing Group") are
involved in various aspects of financing, owning, developing, building,
renting and managing affordable housing projects.  The Company has found that
it may be advantageous for the Affordable Housing Group to finance, develop,
build, rent and manage many types of housing, including IRS Section 42
housing, condominiums, market-rate multifamily housing, and others.  Another
subsidiary of the Savings Bank, Village Insurance Corporation, is engaged in
the business of selling various insurance products.

Fidelity Federal Capital Corporation ("FFCC") is a mortgage banking company.
On December 31, 1995, the Company transferred ownership of FFCC to the Savings
Bank for a nominal amount.  The transaction had the effect of increasing bank
capital and regulatory capital ratios.  FFCC will continue to be the mortgage
banking arm of the Company in the financing of real estate, including holding
and placing debt and equity interests in real estate.  While loans packaged by
FFCC to date have been referred to the Savings Bank for origination and/or
participation to other lenders, management anticipates that FFCC may arrange
for financing directly from other lenders, if the opportunity arises.

The proposed activities of Village Securities Corporation include full-service
or discount brokerage services, private placements of securities and other
securities-related activities.  Village Securities Corporation is anticipating
providing such services during fiscal 1998.

- -   ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Effective July 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights.  SFAS No.
122 requires the Company to recognize as separate assets, mortgage servicing
rights for loans originated with the intent to sell, as well as purchased
servicing rights.  The adoption of SFAS No. 122 did not have a significant
impact on the Company's operating results.  Loan servicing costs are amortized
in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated new servicing revenues.
Fair values of mortgage servicing rights are based on the present value of
estimated future cash flows.  Impairment of mortgage servicing rights is
assessed based on the fair value of those rights.  When participating
interests in loans sold have an average contractual interest rate, adjusted
for normal servicing fees, that differs from the agreed yield to the
purchaser, gains or losses are recognized equal to the present value of such
differential over the estimated remaining lives of such loans.  The resulting
asset or liability is amortized over the estimated servicing period using a
method approximating the interest method.

- -   SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates principally in two industries, banking and real estate
development and management.  The Savings Bank offers traditional banking
products, such as checking, savings, and certificates of deposit, as well as
mortgage, consumer, and commercial loans.  Through the Affordable Housing
Group, the Company is involved in various aspects of financing, owning,
developing, building, renting and managing affordable housing projects.

Operating profit is total revenue less operating expenses.  In computing
operating profit, income taxes have been deducted.

Identified assets are principally those used in each segment.  Real estate
development and management activities conducted by the Company are not asset
intensive. The assets in this segment primarily include cash received in the
form of fees and land to be used for future developments.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION

- -  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $529,000,
compared to $569,000 in net income for the same period last year.  Fully
diluted net income per share was $.20 per share for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to same net income per share in 1996.  The net loss
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, was $200,000, compared to $2,624,000
in net income for the same period last year.  Fully diluted net loss per share
was $0.07 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to net income of
$0.95 per share for the same period in 1996.  The federal legislation
resolving the FDIC insurance funding issue signed by President Clinton in
September required thrifts to pay a one-time assessment of approximately $.66
per $100 of deposits within 60 days of September 30, 1996.  As a result, the
Company recorded a charge of $1,040,000 during the first quarter of fiscal
1997.  The legislation provisions include a reduction of the ongoing insurance
premiums thrifts pay from $.23 - $.31 per $100 of deposits to approximately
$.06 per $100, as well as the ultimate merger of the funds by the year 2000.
In anticipation of this and as a result of continued consolidation and
standardization of the bank and thrift industries, the Company, in an ongoing
effort to more closely resemble a commercial banking operation, set aside
$850,000 in loan loss allowances during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The
Company's fee income from real estate development and management was down from
$3,551,000 last year to $683,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.
These fees, which are transaction-based, are volatile in nature.  There is no
assurance that individual transactions, once initiated, will be completed.
While the Company may continue to participate in development activities, it
has shifted its focus to financing multifamily real estate for non-affiliated
borrowers.  The Company has not exited the development industry, but has
reduced its activities prospectively.  However it intends to remain active in
financing multifamily transactions.

The Company announced on January 21, 1997 an expense reduction plan calling
for $1 million in after tax savings.  The plan calls for the Company to work
towards achieving optimum efficiency within its banking and real estate
management, development, and financing units by eliminating duplicative and
less profitable activities.  The Company's long term plan originally called
for rapid internal growth to approximately $500 million in assets.  Management
mobilized for the ambitious goal by appropriately staffing the Company to meet
the increased demands of a larger organization.  Recently, management
determined that a more conservative growth plan would allow the Company to
grow profitably without straining its capital resources.  As such, some
infrastructure that has been developed will not be required in the short run.

On April 25, 1997 the Company announced its third quarter results and the
completion of the cost reduction program.  The Company completed the cost
reduction program ahead of schedule and is anticipating an annual savings of
approximately $2.0 million on a pretax basis or about $.44 per share after
tax.

NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income, the Company's largest component of
income, represents the difference between interest and fees earned on loans,
investments and other interest earning assets, and interest paid on interest
bearing liabilities.  It also measures how effectively management has balanced
and allocated the Company's interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was $1,535,000
compared to $1,523,000 for the three month period ending March 31, 1996, an
increase of $12,000.  For the nine months ended March 31, 1997, net interest
income increased $315,000 over the nine months ending March 31, 1996, a 7.1%
increase.

The Company's net interest margin for the quarter increased from 2.35% at
March 31, 1996, to 2.64% at March 31, 1997.  The average yield on interest
earning assets increased 19 basis points to 8.46% at March 31, 1997, compared
to 8.27% at March 31, 1996.  The average yield on interest bearing liabilities
decreased 10 basis points from March 31, 1996, to 5.87% at March 31, 1997.
The yield decrease was primarily in certificates of deposits, agent-acquired
deposits and other borrowings.  The agent-acquired funds previously acquired
were at varying terms but at higher rates than would have been paid in the
retail market.  As a result of the Company's plan to reduce the rapid growth
rate, the average balance of agent-acquired funds has decreased $16,073,000
from March 31, 1996.  The Company sold over $57,000,000 of its fixed-rate
mortgage loan portfolio during the latter part of fiscal 1996, thus allowing
the Company the flexibility to allow the agent acquired funds, which typically
bear a higher rate, to mature or rollover at the prevailing rate, creating a
favorable impact on the Company's net interest margin.  Interest income for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, was $4,935,000 compared to $5,366,000 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, a decrease of $431,000.  These decreases are
primarily due to the interest income lost from the above mentioned loan sale.
Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, decreased $443,000 over
the corresponding period in 1996.  This is the result of paying off FHLB
advances and allowing agent acquired funds mature or rollover at the
prevailing rate.  The Company's year-to-date margin increased 40 basis from
2.24% at March 31, 1996, to 2.64% at March 31, 1997.  The Company is
continuing to monitor the net interest margin which has been an area of
increased concentration this year.

<PAGE>

NON-INTEREST INCOME.  Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31,
1996, was $1,209,000 compared to $1,681,000 for the same period in 1996, a
decrease of $472,000.

Non-interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, decreased by
$3,444,000 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  Net income
from real estate development and management decreased by $3,330,000 as
compared to the prior year.  The Affordable Housing Group has encountered
increased competition in the financing and development of multifamily housing.
The IRS Section 42 tax credit program has been used by the Company to develop
affordable housing for individuals with low to moderate incomes.  The Company
has provided financing for other developers which began utilizing the program.
Since the IRS Section 42 tax credit program was created in 1986, competition
has consistently increased in this area.  As a result of the increase in the
number of competitors in this industry, the Company has noted a significant
reduction in the amount of fees it has been able to collect on individual
transactions.  The Company continues to develop new and innovative
housing-related products to supplement its Section 42 activity. However, there
is no assurance that those new products will be able to replace any loss of
income from current activities.  The Company has recognized $509,000 in letter
of credit fees compared to $311,000 in fiscal 1996, as an integral part of the
Affordable Housing Group's real estate activities.  Mortgage banking fees
increased $312,000 to $999,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, as
the Company remains active in the financing of multifamily housing
transactions through its savings bank subsidiary, FFCC.

The Company's savings bank subsidiary sold a parcel of real estate during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 resulting in a gain of $719,000.  The Company has
no plans at this time to sell additional real estate.  Gain on sale of real
estate loans decreased $232,000 as the volume of loans sold has decreased from
the prior year.  Also, a decrease in loan servicing rights of $258,000 was
impacted by the decrease in loans sold, but was partially offset by the
increase in servicing fees on loans sold of $95,000 as the Company's servicing
portfolio continues to grow.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased
$106,000 over the prior fiscal year as the Company's deposit base continues to
grow.  During the first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company's savings bank
subsidiary received $87,000 in dividend income on the stock the Savings Bank
holds with its data processing co-operative, compared to $14,000 in fiscal
1997.  Agent fee income increased $275,000 over March 31, 1996, as a result of
the Company originating auto loans as agent for another institution.  Other
loan fees increased $56,000 over the prior year due to prepayment penalties
received on multifamily loans.  Other non-interest income increased $66,000
from the prior year as dealer interest recapture increased $26,000 and title
fee income increased $25,000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The provision for loan losses for the current
quarter decreased $15,000 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  The
provision for loan losses increased $670,000 to $915,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997, compared to $245,000 for the same period in 1996.  As a
result of the continued consolidation and standardization of the bank and
thrift institutions, the Company, in an ongoing effort to more closely
resemble a commercial banking operation, set aside $850,000 in loan loss
allowance during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The increase in the
provision for the current year does not result from the identification of any
particular problem credit or credits, but does reflect the increase of
multifamily construction and commercial loans in the Company's loan portfolio.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.  Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31,
1997, was $1,963,000 compared to $2,262,000 for the same period in 1996, an
decrease of only $299,000 as the Company continues to  work toward controlling
non-interest expense items.

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, was $7,400,000
compared to $6,443,000 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $958,000.
Non-interest expense declined by $82,000, when accounting for the BIF-SAIF
assessment of $1,040,000.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $96,000 as staffing level
increases associated with the Company's loan diversification strategy, were
the primary reasons for this increase.  As mentioned in our earlier
discussion, the cost reduction program has been completed and the Company
should begin to reap benefits starting in the fourth quarter and continuing
into fiscal 1998.  Legal and professional fees decreased $124,000 from the
prior year due to decreased activity in the Company's housing subsidiaries.
Occupancy and equipment expense decreases of $26,000 and $6,000, respectively,
were primarily a result of decreases in real estate taxes and repairs and
maintenance expense compared to the nine months ending March 31, 1996.  Data
processing expense increased $13,000 over prior year due to the increased
activity and volume associated with the growth of the Company.  Advertising
expense decreased $22,000 due to a decrease in promotions.  Loan
participations expenses were zero in the current year to date compared to
$52,000 last year when the Company had several large affordable housing loans
that were participated.  Printing and supplies also decreased $13,000 from the
prior year.  Travel and lodging decreased $65,000 due to the decrease in
affordable housing activity.  Telephone and postage expense decreased $8,000
and $9,000, respectively from the prior year as usage was down.  The Company's
housing subsidiaries continue to search for new sites to develop and/or
finance, but sometimes expenses are incurred on potential sites that do not
materialize and are expensed as abandoned projects.  Abandoned projects
expense was $177,000 compared to $60,000 in the prior year, an increase
of$117,000.  The Company accounts for its investment in various affordable
housing partnerships on the equity method.  Currently the Company has written
down its investment in various developments by $130,000 for the year-to-date
compared to the prior year of $54,000.  These writedowns are offset by tax
credits received for the investments in these developments.  Other operating
expenses increased $14,000 from the prior year as the Company continues to
place emphasis on controlling cost.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense decreased $1,932,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same period in 1996, due to the
taxable net loss for the current year compared to the previous year's taxable
net income.

- -  FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased by $11,931,000 from June 30, 1996, to approximately
$250,285,000 at March 31, 1997.  The decrease is the result of the Company
continuing to sell current fixed 1-4 family mortgages, the pass through of
various consumer loans to another institution that meet certain criteria and
the normal reduction in assets due to paydowns and payoffs.

LOANS.  The following table shows the composition of the Company's loan

Total loans decreased by $6.9 million or 3.2% to $210.4 million at March 31,
1997, compared to June 30, 1996. Beginning in fiscal 1996, the Company opted
to sell new single family loan production, recognize the gain or loss on the
sale, and use the proceeds to fund new single family loan production.  The
Savings Bank is continually offering new and competitive first mortgage and
multifamily loan products.  The Company's construction loan category, which
includes approximately $32.6 million in commercial and multi-family loans and
$4.7 million in 1-4 family real estate loans, has increased slightly since
June 30, 1996, while commercial real estate loans have increased $10.4 million
as the Company continues to expand the portfolio.  The Company has also
experienced commercial loan growth of $2.7 million as the Company continues to
expand the commercial loan operations to further diversify its loan portfolio.

NON-PERFORMING LOANS.  The Company discontinues the accrual of interest income
on loans when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to
the timely collectibility of interest or principal.  Non-accrual loans are
returned to an accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the
financial position of the borrower indicates that there is no longer any
reasonable doubt as to the timely payment of principal and interest.
Management believes that loans now current where there are reasonable doubts
as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment
terms are immaterial.  The Company adopted SFAS Nos. 114 and 118, Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures on July 1, 1995.  The
adoption of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.  The Company has not
experienced any impaired loans since the adoption of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118.

ANALYSIS OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The Company establishes its provision
for loan losses and evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses
based on management's evaluation of its loan portfolio and changes in loan
activity.  Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which
full collectiblity may not be reasonably assured, considers among other
matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic
conditions, historical loan loss experience, the composition of the loan
portfolio and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an
adequate loan loss allowance.  This evaluation is performed on a monthly basis
and is designed to ensure that all relevant matters affecting loan
collectibility will consistently be identified in a detailed loan review and
that the outcome of the review will be considered in a disciplined manner by
management in determining the necessary allowance and the provision for loan
losses.  The amounts actually reported in each period will vary with the
outcome of this detailed review.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the allowance for loan losses
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, and the year ended June 30, 1996.

As of March 31, 1997, net loan charge-offs were $192,000, or 0.22%
(annualized) of average loans for the period, compared to $109,000 or 0.05% of
average loans as of June 30, 1996.  The provision for loan losses increased
$460,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the previous
year as the Company set aside $850,000 in loan loss allowance in the first
quarter in an ongoing effort to more closely resemble commercial banking

levels.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding increased
from .49% at June 30, 1996 to .85% at March 31, 1997.  Management considers
the allowance for loan losses adequate to meet losses inherent in the loan
portfolio as of March 31, 1997.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES.  The Savings Bank's investment policy is annually
reviewed by its Board of Directors and any significant changes to the policy
must be approved by the Board.  The Board has an asset/liability management
committee which is responsible for keeping the investment policy current.

As of March 31, 1997, the investment portfolio represented 6.7% of the
Company's assets compared to same at June 30, 1996, and is managed in a manner
designed to meet the Board's investment policy objectives.  The primary
objectives, in order of priority, are to further the safety and soundness of
the Company, to provide the liquidity necessary to meet day to day funding
needs, cyclical and long-term changes in the mix of our assets and
liabilities, and to provide for diversification of risk and management of
interest rate and economic risk.  At March 31, 1997, the entire investment
portfolio was classified as available for sale, in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investment
in Debt and Equity Securities".  The net unrealized loss at March 31, 1997 was
$59,000, which was comprised of gross gains of $78,000, gross losses of
$190,000, and a tax benefit of $53,000.  The decrease of $80,000 over June 30,
1996 was caused by market interest rate changes during the period. Although
the entire portfolio is available for sale, management has not identified
individual investments for sale in future periods.

The following table sets forth the components of the Savings Bank's securities
available for sale as of the dates indicated.

</TABLE>

The Savings Bank's total investment securities portfolio decreased by $692,000
at March 31, 1997, from June 30, 1996.  The Savings Bank receives payments of
principal and interest on its mortgage-backed securities on a monthly basis.
These certificates represent ownership of pools of one-to-four family mortgage
loans.  As interest rates decline, principal of the underlying mortgage loans
typically is returned more quickly in the form of payoffs and refinancings.

FUNDING SOURCES

DEPOSITS.  The Savings Bank attracts both short-term and long-term deposits
from the retail market by offering a wide assortment ofaccounts with
different terms and different interest rates.  These deposit alternatives
include checking accounts, regular savings accounts, money market deposit
accounts, fixed rate certificates with varying maturities, variable interest
rate certificates, negotiable rate jumbo certificates ($100,000 or more), and
variable rate IRA certificates.

Average deposits increased by $444,000 during the first nine months of fiscal
1997.  Most of the decreases were due to certificates of deposit acquired
through agents, which decreased $15.0 million to $72.3 million at March 31,
1997 and money market accounts which decreased $2.0 million as a shift was
seen to new products associated with NOW accounts.  These decreases were
offset by increases in demand and NOW accounts of $1.2 million and $10.4
million, respectively.  The Company's savings bank subsidiary began to
actively market NOW account products during the second quarter of fiscal 1996,
which has significantly contributed to the $10.4 million increase in NOW
accounts.  Retail certificates of deposit have also increased $5.6 million
since June 30, 1996 as the Savings Bank continues to grow its core deposits.

Borrowings decreased $14.1 million to $48.9 million at March 31, 1997.
Borrowings have been slower or reduced during fiscal 1997 as the Company has
continued selling its fixed rate 1-4 family loan production.  This allows the
Company to use the proceeds from the sale of loans to fund new loan
originations and ease the need for additional borrowings in the future.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets for the Savings Bank, was
6.63% at March 31, 1997, compared to 7.05% at June 30, 1996.  The net loss for
the period, dividends paid and declared on common stock, and the purchase of
treasury stock decreased theratio, while a decrease in the unrealized loss on
available for sale investments and the exercise of stock warrants and options
partially offset the decrease.  The Company's book value per share at March
31, 1997 was $5.17 as compared to $5.54 at June 30, 1996, as adjusted for the
10 percent stock dividend distributed on May 27, 1996.

The OTS has adopted capital standards under which savings associations must
maintain (i) "core capital" in an amount not less than 3% of total assets,
(ii) "tangible capital" in an amount not less than 1.5% of total adjusted
assets, and (iii) a level of risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted
assets.  The capital standards established by the OTS for savings associations
must generally be no less stringent than those applicable to national banks.

Under OTS regulations "core capital" includes common stockholders' equity,
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, and minority
interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangible
assets other than certain qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain
purchased mortgage servicing rights.  In determining compliance with the
capital standards, a savings association must deduct from capital its entire
investment in and loans to any subsidiary engaged in activities not
permissible for a national bank, other than subsidiaries (i) engaged in such
non-permissible activities solely as agent for their customers; (ii) engaged
in mortgage banking activities; or (iii) that are themselves savings
associations, or companies the only investment of which is another insured
depository institution, acquired prior to May 1, 1989.

In determining total risk-weighted assets for purposes of the risk based
requirement, (i) each off-balance sheet asset must beconverted to its
on-balance sheet credit equivalent amount by multiplying the face amount of
each such item by a credit conversion factor ranging from 0% to 100%
(depending upon the nature of the asset), (ii) the credit equivalent amount of
each off-balance sheet asset and the book value of each on-balance sheet asset
must be multiplied by a risk factor ranging from 0% to 100% (again depending
upon the nature of the asset), and (iii) the resulting amounts are added
together and constitute total risk-weighted assets.  Total capital, for
purposes of the risk-based capital requirement, equals the sum of core capital
plus supplementary capital (which, as defined, includes, among other items,
perpetual preferred stock not counted as core capital, limited life preferred
stock, subordinated debt, and general loan and lease loss allowances up to
1.25% of risk-weighted assets) less certain deductions including the savings
association's interest-rate risk component.  The amount of supplementary
capital that may be counted towards satisfaction of the total capital
requirement may not exceed 100% of core capital.

At March 31, 1997, actual and required minimum levels of regulatory capital
for the Savings Bank were as follows:

</TABLE>

Pursuant to HOLA of 1933, as amended, the OTS is required to issue capital
standards that are no less stringent than those applicable to national banks.
In April 1991, the OTS proposed to amend its capital regulations to reflect
amendments made by the OCC to the leverage ratio capital requirement for
national banks.  The proposal would establish a core capital leverage ratio
(core capital to adjusted total assets) of 3% for savings associations rated
composite 1 under the OTS MACRO rating system.  For all other savings
associations, the minimum core capital leverage ratio would be 3% plus at
least an additional 100 to 200 basis points.  Under the proposal, the OTS may
impose higher regulations for individual savings associations.  The OTS has
not adopted this regulation in final form.  The prompt corrective action
regulation adopted by the OTS provides that a savings association that has a
leverage capital ratio of less than 4% will be considered "undercapitalized"
and may be subject to certain restrictions.  At December 31, 1996 the Savings
Bank had a core capital leverage ratio (as defined in the proposal) of 6.63%.

The OTS adopted a final regulation adding an interest-rate risk component to
its risk-based capital rule.  A savings association's interest-rate risk is
generally defined as the change that occurs to its net portfolio value as a
result of a hypothetical two hundred basis point increase or decrease in
market interest rates.  A "normal level" of interest-rate

                                      17

<PAGE>

risk is defined as any decline in net portfolio value of up to 2% of the
institution's assets. If the 2% threshold is exceeded, a savings association
will be required to deduct from its capital, for purposes of determining
whether the institution meets its risk-based capital requirements,an amount
equal to one-half of the difference between the measured risk and 2% of
assets.

Capital requirements higher than the generally applicable minimum requirement
may be established for a particular savings association if the OTS determines
that the institution's capital was or may become inadequate in view of its
particular circumstances. Individual minimum capital requirements may be
appropriate where the savings association is receiving special supervisory
attention, has a high degree of exposure to interest rate risk, or poses other
safety or soundness concerns.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity for a savings bank represents its ability to accommodate growth in
loan demand and/or reduction in deposits.  The Savings Bank liquidity ratio
was 6.77% on March 31, 1997, down from 10.64% on June 30, 1996.  Management
believes that this level of liquidity is sufficient to meet any anticipated
requirements for the Bank's operations.  Federal regulations have historically
required the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets.  The required
percentage has varied from time to time based on economic condition and
savings flows, and is currently 5% of net withdrawable savings deposits and
borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less during the preceding
calendar month.
