                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

(1) Principles of Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and balances of
   Security Capital Corporation (the "Company"), and its wholly-owned
   subsidiaries, Security Bank S.S.B. and SECP Investment Corporation.
   Security Bank S.S.B. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as
   the "Bank."   All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
   been eliminated in consolidation.

(2)  Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
   prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
   ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the
   instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly,
   they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP
   for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
   adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation
   of the consolidated financial statements have been included.  Operating
   results for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996 are not
   necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
   year ending June 30, 1997.  Certain amounts in prior periods have been
   reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1997 presentation.

(4)  Commitments and Contingencies

   The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
   occurring in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
   its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest
   rates.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and
   involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in
   excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
   The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement
   the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

     (1) Residential construction includes both one-to-four family and
multi-family construction loans.

     (2) For purposes of this table, consumer loans do not include home equity
loans.

     The Company serviced approximately 25,000 and 26,000 mortgage loans at
December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively, which are owned by certain
institutional investors and other entities and are not included in the
Company's loan balances.  The interest of institutional investors and others in
such loans aggregated approximately $1.5 billion at both December 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996.  Related escrow balances maintained in connection with the loan
servicing were $8.4 million and $26.5 million at December 31, 1996 and June 30,
1996, respectively. These funds were on deposit in special bank accounts, the
majority of which are maintained at the Bank.

(6)  Earnings per Share

    Earnings per share of common stock for each of the three and six months
    ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 have been determined by dividing net
    income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common
    stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.  Stock options are regarded
    as common stock equivalents and are therefore considered in both primary
    and fully diluted earnings per share calculations.  Common stock
    equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method.

The computation of earnings per share on net income is as follows:

Borrowings consist of funds borrowed in the federal funds market through
brokers on an overnight basis, or for a term not to exceed one year, and from
the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).  Federal funds purchased totaled
$243,000,000 and $255,000,000 at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996,
respectively, and are due within 12 months.  FHLB advances accounted for the
remaining borrowings.  The Company is required to maintain as collateral
unencumbered first mortgage loans in its portfolio such that the outstanding
balance of FHLB advances does not exceed 60% of the book value of this
collateral.  At December 31, 1996, the Company estimates that potential
borrowings from the FHLB totaling approximately $833,844,000 would be
supportable with the Company's current asset base.  This amount available is
reduced by existing FHLB borrowings which limit the potential incremental
amount available from the FHLB to $376,819,000.  The Company also has other
sources of borrowings which would further add to its borrowing capacity.

The maximum amount of borrowings at any month-end during the six months ended
December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30, 1996 was approximately $700.0
million and $564.9 million, respectively.  The approximate average amount
outstanding was $570.1 million and $419.8 million over those same periods.  The
weighted average interest rate paid was 5.65% and 5.79% during the six months
ended December 31, 1996 and the year ended June 30, 1996, respectively.  None
of the borrowings may be prepaid.  FHLB advances totaling $50 million due in
37-48 months are callable at the discretion of the FHLB every six months
beginning November 20, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1996 increased
$5.7 million or 69.4% to $14.0 million, compared to $8.3 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1995.  Earnings per share increased from $0.86 to
$1.51 over the same periods.  Net income for the six months ended December 31,
1996, before a first quarter one-time after-tax charge of $7.9 million or 86
cents per share for an FDIC special assessment, increased $9.4 million or 61.3%
to $24.8 million from $15.4 million compared to the six months ended December
31, 1995.  Earnings per share without the special assessment increased from
$1.60 to $2.68 per share over the same six month periods.  Including the
after-tax effect of the non-recurring charge for the FDIC special assessment of
$7.9 million, net income was $16.9 million and earnings per share was $1.82 for
the six months ended December 31, 1996.  See "Recent Regulatory Developments"
for a further discussion of the industry-wide FDIC special assessment.

The major components of these increases in earnings for the three and six month
periods, excluding the effects of the FDIC special assessment, are discussed in
the following paragraphs and generally include: (i) increases of $3.4 million
and $6.6 million, respectively, in net interest income; (ii) decreases of $1.1
million and $1.8 million, respectively, in the provision for loan and lease
losses; (iii) increases of $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in
non-interest income; (iv) decreases of  $3.2 million and $3.9 million in
non-interest expenses, due to a pre-tax FDIC insurance premium refund of $1.3
million recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 1996; partially offset by
(v) increases of $2.0 million and $3.9 million in income tax expense.

NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income increased $3.4 million and $6.6
million, respectively,  for the three and six months ended December 31, 1996
compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The net interest margin
increased to 3.79% from 3.69% and to 3.77% from 3.69%, respectively, for the
periods.  The interest rate spread increased to 2.94% from 2.70%, and to 2.92%
from 2.69% during the same periods.  The increases in margin and spread were
due primarily to 19 and 18 basis point increases in the average yield on loans
and 7 and 5 basis point decreases in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities.  The increase in margin and spread was partially offset by the
Bank's purchase of two Bank-owned life insurance policies in October 1995 and
July 1996 for $25.0 million each.  The Company sold securities
available-for-sale to fund such purchases, thereby, effectively transferring
the amount of the purchase price of such policies out of interest-earning
assets.  Growth in the average balances from the three and six months ended
December 31, 1995 to the three and six months ended December 31, 1996 were
$259.4 million and $256.9 million, respectively, for interest-earning assets
and $295.9 and $293.3 million, respectively, for interest-bearing liabilities.

                 SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Total interest income increased $6.7 million and $13.3 million for the three
and six months ended December 31, 1996, respectively.  The increases were
primarily the result of increases in interest income on loans and leases and,
to a lesser extent,  mortgage-backed and related securities.  The increases in
average interest-earning assets combined with 17 and 18 basis point increases
in the yield on interest-earning assets due to adjustments in adjustable rate
mortgage loans and additions to longer-term fixed rate loan portfolios,
resulted in the overall increases in interest income.

Total interest expense increased $3.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively,
for the three and six months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same
periods last year.  The increases were attributable to $295.9 million and
$293.3 million increases in average interest-bearing liabilities for the three
and six months ended December 31, 1996, respectively,  partially offset by 7
and 5  basis point decreases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.  The
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities for the three and six month
periods included growth in borrowings of $196.3 million and $197.2 million,
respectively, and increases in deposits of $100.9 million and $98.1 million,
respectively. Brokered deposits accounted for $55.4 million and $41.7 million,
respectively, of the deposit increases.  Borrowings and brokered deposits have
been used to facilitate the Company's growth, and are part of a longer-term
plan to leverage the Company's capital to facilitate an increase in net income
and return on equity.* For the three and six month periods, the average cost of
borrowings decreased 31 and 37 basis points, respectively,  and the average
cost of deposits decreased 9 and 6 basis points, respectively, in accordance
with market rate declines over those same periods.

For further information on average balances, rates, spreads and the net
interest margin see the "Average Balance Sheet".

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES.  The provision for loan and lease losses
decreased $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the three and six
months ended December 31, 1996, compared to the similar periods the previous
year, reflecting continued low net charge-offs and non-performing loan ratios.
Charge-offs exceeded recoveries by only $133,000 for each of the first two
quarters of the current fiscal year.  The allowance for loan and lease losses
represented 1.47% of gross loans and leases receivable at both December 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995, and 1041.92% and 987.52% of non-performing loans,
respectively, for the same periods.

NON-INTEREST INCOME.   Non-interest  income increased $0.1 million and $1.1
million for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996,
respectively, as compared to the same periods the previous year.  Both
increases were primarily the result of increases of  $0.4 million and $1.2
million, respectively, in income from the increase in cash surrender values on
$50.0 million of single premium bank-owned life insurance policies purchased in
October 1995 and July 1996.  Insurance and annuity commissions increased $0.2
million and $0.3 million, respectively,  from the comparable three and six
month periods the prior year.  Other income increased $0.4 million for the six
month period due to gains on disposals of fixed assets of $0.2 million and $0.2
million of increased lease rental income.  Partially offsetting those increases
for the three and six month periods were decreases of $0.5 million and $0.7
million, respectively,  in gains on sales of loans held-for-sale.  Loan sales
decreased almost 50% from the same periods in the previous year as the Bank
retained more fixed rate loans in the current fiscal year to facilitate
portfolio growth.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.  Non-interest expense, excluding the $13.2 million
pre-tax non-recurring charge for the FDIC special assessment expensed in
September 1996, decreased $3.2 million and $3.9 million for the three and six
months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same periods the prior year.
The primary reasons for the decreases for the three and six month periods
include: (i) a decrease of $1.2 million to $0 in FDIC premiums for the second
quarter, due to an FDIC refund recognized in the quarter ended December 31,
1996; (ii)  decreases of $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in
compensation and employee benefits; (iii) decreases in professional fees and
other expenses combined of  $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, mostly
for accruals and expenses related to litigation, and (iv) decreases of $0.8
million and $0.5 million, respectively, in marketing expense.   The decrease in
compensation and employee benefits was due to the elimination of $0.9 million
in quarterly expense from the amortization of the Bank Incentive Plan (BIP)
which was  completed in December 1995.  Marketing expenses were higher in the
prior year due to the kick-off of a new "Lifetime Bank" campaign.

The FDIC special assessment was a $13.2 million pre-tax, or $7.9 million
after-tax, non-recurring expense recognized in the quarter ended September 30,
1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the
FDIC.  As a result of the recapitalization, the Bank also received a refund of
its FDIC premium in the amount of $1.3 million pre-tax, for the three months
ended December 31, 1996.  For a further discussion see "Recent Regulatory
Developments."

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense, excluding the benefit for the FDIC
special assessment charge, increased $2.0 million and $3.9 million for the
three and six  months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same periods the
previous year. Including the non-recurring charge for the FDIC special
assessment, income tax expense decreased $1.3 million for the six month period
ended December 31, 1996.  The increase for the three month period was mostly
due to the higher pre-tax income and the decrease for the six month period was
largely the result of lower pre-tax income due to the FDIC special assessment
expensed in the first quarter.   Income tax expense for both periods also was
offset by higher non-taxable income than the previous year and the recognition
of certain deferred state income tax benefits.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET

The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company's
unaudited consolidated statements of financial condition and the unaudited
consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended December
31, 1996 and 1995 and reflect the average yield on assets and average cost of
liabilities for the periods indicated.  Such yields and costs are derived by
dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-bearing assets or
liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown.  Average balances are derived
principally from average daily balances and include non-accruing loans.  The
yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields.
Interest income on non-accruing loans is reflected in the period it is
collected and not in the period it is earned.  Such amounts are not material to
net interest income or net change in net interest income in any period.
Interest income and average yield on tax-exempt securities available-for-sale
and held-to-maturity are presented on a before tax-equivalent basis, applying a
federal income tax rate of 35%.

                 SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FINANCIAL CONDITION.  The Company's total assets increased $220.6 million to
$3.658 billion at December 31, 1996 from $3.437 billion at June 30, 1996.  The
Company's ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 15.53% at December
31, 1996 compared to 16.26% at June 30, 1996.

Securities available-for-sale are reflected at market value.  While securities
available-for-sale increased only $547,000 to $685.2 million at December 31,
1996 from $684.6 million at June 30, 1996, the portfolio mix changed
significantly with an increase of $82.0 million of  Collateralized Mortgage
Obligations (CMOs) and a similar decrease in investment securities.

The Company held approximately $356.5 million in CMOs at December 31, 1996
compared to $269.9 million at June 30, 1996. This growth is part of a long-term
plan to leverage the Company's capital to facilitate an increase in net
income.*   In accordance with Company policy, each individual CMO security
represents less than 1% of the Company's total assets and, prior to purchase,
was determined not to be a "high risk" mortgage security as defined by the
FDIC.  The Company's CMOs are issued by  government agencies and are tested
quarterly to ensure they continue not to be high risk.

Loans and leases, net, increased $164.8 million to $2.698 billion at December
31, 1996 from $2.534 billion at June 30, 1996.  The increase was primarily in
residential one-to-four-family,  multi-family and home equity mortgage loans,
and was funded with increased deposits and borrowings.

The Company emphasizes high asset quality in both its investment portfolio and
its lending activities.  Non-performing assets were  0.11% of total assets at
both December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996.  There were net loan charge-offs of
$0.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 1996.  None of the
Company's investment or mortgage-backed and related securities were categorized
as non-performing assets at December 31, 1996.

In July 1996, the Company sold securities to fund the purchase of a second
$25.0 million of single premium Bank-owned life insurance on its officers.
Increases in the cash surrender value are reported in non-interest income.  The
Company is utilizing this vehicle because of its attractive tax-equivalent
return and intends to use proceeds from the policy benefits to fund and offset
future employee benefit costs.*

Deposits increased $83.7 million to $2.284 billion at December 31, 1996 from
$2.200 billion at June 30, 1996.  The increase was primarily due to brokered
money market deposits which increased $78.2 million.  Total deposits include
$434.8 million of brokered money market deposits, representing  19.0% of total
deposits at December 31, 1996 compared to 16.2% of total deposits at June 30,
1996.

Borrowings increased $135.1 million to $700.0 million at December 31, 1996 from
$564.9 million at June 30, 1996.  As of  December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996,
FHLB advances accounted for $457.0 million and $309.9 million and federal funds
purchased accounted for $243.0 million and $255.0 million of total borrowings,
respectively.  Borrowings are used to supplement deposits to fund growth in
investments and loans.  This growth is part of a long-term plan to leverage the
Company's capital to facilitate an increase in net income.*

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

To manage vulnerability to interest rate changes, management closely monitors
the Company's interest rate risk position.  The Company seeks to enhance its
income while managing its interest rate risk primarily through the structuring
of its balance sheet in order to reduce its vulnerability to changes in
interest rates.  Although the Company's assets and liabilities maturing and
repricing within one year are relatively well-matched with a cumulative
negative gap ratio as of December 31, 1996 of 6.29%, a cumulative negative gap
ratio of 23.43% and 15.67% existed at three and six months as of December 31,
1996, respectively.


The following Asset/Liability Management Schedule sets forth the amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at
December 31, 1996, which are anticipated by the Company to mature or reprice in
each of the periods shown, based on the information and assumptions set forth
in the notes below.  This table does not reflect the impact of any hedging
activity or financial techniques utilized by the Company to mitigate interest
rate risk, because it would not have a material effect on the Company's "gap"
position.*  Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis

example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
periods to repricing, they may react in varying degrees to changes in market
interest rates.*  The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities
may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest
rates on other assets or liabilities may lag behind changes in market rates.*
Additionally, certain assets, such as ARM loans and mortgage-backed and related
securities, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a
short-term basis and over the life of the asset such as 1% annual caps and
lifetime caps.  Also, the proportion of ARM loans and mortgage-backed and
related securities in the Company's portfolios could decrease in future periods
if market interest rates remain at or decrease below current levels due to the
exercise of conversion options and refinancing activity.*  While prepayments of
loans have been estimated based on current market interest rates, in the event
of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would
likely deviate significantly from those assumed in the table.*


At December 31, 1996, total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing
within three months exceeded total interest-earning assets maturing or
repricing in the same period by $856.9 million, representing a negative
cumulative three month gap ratio of 23.43%, compared to a negative $866.5
million and a negative 25.21%, respectively, as of June 30, 1996.  The six
month cumulative gap and gap ratio are, respectively, a negative $573.3 million
and a negative 15.67% at December 31, 1996, compared to a negative $620.6
million and a negative 18.06% at June 30, 1996.  The one year cumulative gap
and gap ratio are, respectively, a negative $230.2  million and a negative
6.29% at December 31, 1996, compared to a negative $251.6 million and a
negative 7.32% at June 30, 1996.  The Company extends the maturities of its
borrowed funds and deposits as opportunities arise.*  These efforts, as well as
increases in the variable rate home equity loans portfolio have offset the
effect on the one year gap of brokered insured money market deposit account
increases, thereby causing a decrease in the one year cumulative negative gap.*


The Company's negative gap position indicates more liabilities will reprice
within one year than assets and the Company may generally benefit in the
short-term from a decline in interest rates.*  When interest rates first
decline, the lag in the downward adjustment in the ARM loan yields will have a
short-term positive effect; however, should the decline in interest rates
accelerate or such rate environment be prolonged, the Company's loan and
mortgage-backed securities portfolios may experience an increase in prepayments
which would result in lower yields or a decrease in balances.*  During periods
of rising interest rates, not only will liabilities reprice more quickly, based
on the "gap," but increases in the yield on interest-earning assets may occur
with a lag and to a lesser extent than may be anticipated from the gap ratio
due to the structuring of the Company's one-year ARM loans utilizing "Cost of
Funds Indices" and 1% annual caps.*   Accordingly, the Company may be adversely
affected by rising interest rates as the lag effect of the "Cost of Funds
Indices" causes the yields on the ARM loans to not increase even though general
interest rates begin to rise.*  In addition, rising interest rates may cause
the Company to experience a decrease in prepayments on loans and
mortgage-backed securities from that used in calculating the "gap" which would
result in fewer funds available to reinvest at the higher rates.*

                 SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



Notes to Asset/Liability Management Schedule


(1)  Adjustable and floating-rate assets and liabilities are included in the
     period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in
     the period in which they are due.  Fixed-rate assets are included in the
     periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid based on scheduled
     amortization, in each case adjusted to take into account estimated
     prepayments based on the Company's historical prepayment statistics.  For
     home equity and mortgage loans and mortgage-backed  securities, annual
     prepayment rates ranging from 5% to 28% were used.


(2)  Balances have been reduced for undisbursed loan proceeds, unearned
     discounts, deferred loan fees and allowances for loan losses, which
     aggregated $85.2 million at December 31, 1996.


(3)  Although the Company's interest-bearing demand accounts, money market
     accounts and passbook accounts generally are subject to immediate
     withdrawal, management considers a certain amount of such accounts to be
     core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities based on
     the Company's retention of such deposits in changing interest rate
     environments.  However, in managing the Company's interest rate risk,
     management considers these deposits to be interest rate sensitive because
     the rates paid may vary with market conditions.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Liquidity management for the Company is both a daily and long-term component of
the Company's management strategy.  The Company maintains liquidity levels
sufficient to accommodate normal deposit fluctuations, the payment of dividends
and various other funding needs, and to meet its asset and liability management
objectives.  Excess funds generally are invested in short-term investments such
as overnight deposits at the FHLB-Chicago.  In the event that the Company
should require funds in excess of those generated through its primary sources,
additional funds are available through the use of FHLB-Chicago advances,
reverse repurchase agreements, and the purchase of federal funds.


The Company's most liquid assets are cash, interest-bearing and
non-interest-bearing bank balances, loans held for sale and securities
available-for-sale.  The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's
operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.
These assets totaled $801.9 million and $768.7 million at December 31, 1996
and June 30, 1996, respectively.  The Company's ratio of these assets to total
deposits was 35.1% and 34.9% at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996,
respectively.


The primary investing activity of the Company is the origination of loans.  The
Company originates fixed- and adjustable-rate residential, multi-family and
commercial mortgage loans, non-mortgage commercial loans and consumer loans.
During the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company originated
loans and leases totaling $530.8 million and $545.2 million, respectively,
purchased loans totaling $22.1 million and $20.9 million, respectively, and
sold loans totaling $89.9 million and $174.2 million, respectively.  Loan sales
decreased significantly during the six months ended December 31, 1996 compared
to the same period the previous year as the Company retained more fixed rate
loans in the current fiscal year to facilitate portfolio growth.


During the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company received
principal repayments on loans and leases totaling $310.5 million and $282.1
million, respectively, and principal repayments on mortgage-backed and related
securities of $5.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively.


The Company experienced net increases in deposits of $83.7 million and $88.3
million for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Brokered money market deposits represented $78.2 million of the increase for
the six months ended December 31, 1996 and $29.9 million of the increase for
the six months ended December 31, 1995.  All of the Company's brokered deposits
are in money market accounts.  The level of deposit inflows during any given
period is heavily influenced by factors such as the general level of short- and
long-term interest rates in the economy, as well as alternative yields that
investors may obtain on competing investment instruments such as money market
mutual funds.  Deposits continue to be the Company's primary funding source 
supplemented by borrowings.*


Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one year or less at
December 31, 1996 totaled $778.8 million.  Based on historical experience,
management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain
with the Company.*

                 SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
contains provisions for capital standards that require banks to have a minimum
3% leverage ratio (Tier I capital to adjusted total assets), a minimum 4% Tier
I capital to risk-weighted assets ratio and a minimum 8% qualifying total
capital to risk-weighted assets ratio.  The Bank's regulatory capital exceeds
all minimum standards required under FDICIA.


A summary of the Bank's regulatory capital amounts are as follows:

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS


Deposits of the Bank currently are insured to applicable limits by the FDIC
under the Savings Associations Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  The FDIC also insures
commercial bank deposits under the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").  Premium levels
are set in order to permit the funds to be capitalized at a level equal to
1.25% of total fund deposits.  Assessment rate changes made in 1995 created a
deposit insurance premium disparity between the two funds.  While most BIF
members were paying only a nominal $2,000 annual premium, SAIF members were
paying average rates of 23.4 basis points of deposits.


On September 30, 1996, Congress passed legislation to address the deposit
insurance premium disparity.  The "Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996" (the
"DIF Act") included as part of an Omnibus Appropriations Bill, directed the
FDIC to impose a special assessment on SAIF-assessable deposits at a rate that
would cause the SAIF to achieve its designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of
SAIF-insured deposits as of October 1, 1996.  The DIF Act required that the
special assessment be applied against the SAIF-assessable deposits held by
institutions as of March 31, 1995.  Pursuant to a final rule issued by the FDIC
on October 16, 1996, the special assessment rate was determined to be 65.7
basis points.  This one-time special assessment fully capitalized the SAIF and
was collected on November 27, 1996.

The amount of the assessment to the Bank was $13.2 million dollars.  The
special assessment was recorded on September 30, 1996 and had the effect of
reducing the Bank's earnings and capital by the after-tax amount of the
assessment as of the date of enactment, which was $7.9 million or 86 cents per
share.  As described below, with the recapitalization of the SAIF, it is
currently anticipated that BIF and SAIF regular deposit insurance premiums will
be comparable and FDIC premium expense is expected


                                      21


<PAGE>   24

to therefore be reduced in future periods.* The DIF Act also imposes a 
separate assessment on both BIF and SAIF member institutions related to the 
retirement of certain bond obligations, which such assessments, as explained 
below, will be imposed at a greater rate on SAIF institutions for a three year
period beginning January 1, 1997.


The FDIC published a final rule on December 24, 1996, establishing a permanent
base assessment schedule for the SAIF and setting assessment rates at a range
of 4 to 31 basis points.  The rule provides for an adjusted assessment schedule
reducing these rates by 4 basis points to reflect current conditions, producing
an effective SAIF assessment range of 0 to 27 basis points beginning October 1,
1996.  This assessment range is comparable to the current schedule for
BIF-institutions.  A special interim rate schedule ranging from 18 to 27 basis
points applied to SAIF member savings associations for the last quarter of
calendar year 1996, reflecting the fact that assessments related to certain
bond obligations of the Financial Corporation ("FICO"), which were issued to
resolve the savings and loan crisis in the 1980's, was included in the SAIF
rates for these institutions during that period.  Because the Bank is a "Sasser
bank" (a bank that converted its charter from a savings association to a
savings bank, yet remained a SAIF member in accordance with the so-called
"Sasser Amendment"), it was not assessed this interim rate and received a
one-time credit in the amount of  $0.8 million after-tax or $0.08 per share,
for its entire FDIC premium for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.


The DIF Act addresses other matters which will affect the Bank.  The FICO
obligations will be shared by all insured depository institutions beginning
after December 31, 1996.  This obligation had previously been the sole
responsibility of SAIF-insured institutions and had been funded through SAIF
assessments.  The DIF Act eliminated the statutory link between FICO's
assessments and amounts authorized to be assessed by the SAIF, effective
January 1, 1997.  All insured institutions will pay an annual assessment to
fund interest payments on the FICO bonds.  Beginning in 1997, BIF-member
institutions will pay one-fifth the rate to be paid by SAIF members, for the
first three years.  The annual FICO assessment is 1.3 and 6.5 basis points of
deposits for BIF and SAIF members, respectively.  After January 1, 2000, BIF
and SAIF members will share the FICO payments on a pro-rata basis, which is
assessed at 2.4 basis points, until the bonds mature in 2017.


In addition, the DIF Act provides for the merger of BIF and SAIF into a single
Deposit Insurance Fund.  This provision will be effective January 1, 1999,
assuming that no insured depository institution is a savings association on
that date.  This legislation contemplates that the savings association charter
will be phased out over that period of time.  The DIF Act also calls for the
Secretary of the Treasury to undertake a study concerning the development of a
common charter for all insured depository institutions and the abolition of
separate and distinct charters for banks and savings associations.



                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


        In fiscal 1996, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with
        plaintiffs who filed a purported class action lawsuit against the 
        Company, the Bank and the members of the Boards of Directors of the 
        Company and the Bank. The settlement agreement was approved by the 
        court on October 8, 1996, with the court also at that time certifying 
        the plaintiff class for purposes of the settlement and ordering that 
        all members of the class who had not excluded themselves were to 
        receive settlement payments in accordance with the terms of the 
        agreement.  The action was filed in Cook County, Illinois in 1994 by two
        Illinois residents seeking to act as named plaintiffs for a plaintiff 
        class and alleging fraud, misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary 
        duties in connection with the Bank's 1992 charter conversion, the 
        Bank's 1993 mutual to stock conversion, and the Company's 1994 proxy 
        solicitation.  Plaintiffs alleged that the purported class of 
        depositors were prevented by the acts complained of from receiving all 
        of the stock they subscribed for in the 1993 public offering. The 
        defendants have vigorously contested the charges and the settlement
        agreement recognizes that defendants deny any wrong doing or liability.
        A $12.0 million settlement fund was established by or on behalf of the 
        defendants and was divided (net of attorneys' fees and administrative 
        expenses) among participating members of the class in accordance with 
        the settlement agreement. The financial statement effects of the 
        settlement have been taken for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.  
        Due to the legal-related expense provisions taken in prior periods and 
        $6.0 million in insurance coverage, the impact of the settlement on 
        net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 was $2.7 million 
        after tax or 28 cents per share.
