                WESTERFED FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)



1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION
              The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
         been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles for interim financial information and with instructions to
         Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
         include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
         accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
         the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects
         all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the
         interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such
         adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the
         six months ended December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
         the results anticipated for the year ending June 30, 1997. For
         additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
         and footnotes thereto included in WesterFed Financial Corporation's
         (the "Company") annual report for the year ended June 30, 1996.

2.       CASH EQUIVALENTS
              For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the
         Company considers all cash, daily interest demand deposits,
         non-interest bearing deposits with banks, and interest bearing deposits
         having original maturities of three months or less to be cash
         equivalents.

3.       COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE
              Net income per common share is based on the weighted average
         number of shares outstanding during the period applying the treasury
         stock method to common stock equivalents. The weighted average number
         of common and common stock equivalents for the six month period ended
         December 31, 1996 were 4,278,233. Stock options have been granted,
         under the Company's stock option and incentive plan, to purchase
         434,784 shares. In addition 191,904 shares of restricted stock have
         been issued in accordance with the recognition and retention plan
         established by the Company. These stock options and restricted stock
         awards are reflected in the income per share computations in the
         accompanying financial statements. In addition, there have been 354,933
         shares of common stock issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan
         (ESOP) trust for the benefit of the employees of the Company and its
         subsidiaries. ESOP shares that have been committed to be released are
         considered outstanding and ESOP shares that have not been committed to
         be released are not considered outstanding. At December 31, 1996,
         94,288 ESOP shares were committed to be released and were considered in
         the earnings per share computations.

4.       DIVIDENDS DECLARED
              On December 17, 1996 the Board of Directors of the Company
         declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.100 per share, payable on
         February 21, 1997 to stockholders of record on February 7, 1997.

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

1.       CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION. COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTH PERIOD FROM
         JUNE 30, 1996 TO DECEMBER 31, 1996

              General -- Total assets decreased slightly to $563.6 million at
         December 31, 1996 from $563.9 million at June 30, 1996. Loans
         receivable decreased $1.7 million, mortgage-backed securities decreased
         $13.3 million while investment securities, Federal Home Loan Bank of
         Seattle (FHLB) stock and other interest earning assets increased $13.0
         million. Deposits decreased $6.4 million while borrowed funds increased
         $4.9 million.

              Loans Receivable -- Loans receivable and loans available-for-sale
         decreased $1.7 million to $366.5 million at December 31, 1996 from
         $368.2 million at June 30, 1996. Real Estate mortgage loans decreased
         $16.8 million while consumer loans increased $15.1 million. The $1.7
         million decrease was primarily the result of $74.8 million in new loan
         originations and $1.1 million in purchases of real estate loans, which
         were partially offset by principal repayments of $48.4 million and the
         sale of whole loans of $30.7 million. Real estate loan originations
         declined to $45.0 million during the six month period ended December
         31, 1996 from $74.6 million for the same period last year, primarily
         due to a decline in refinancing activity, a slow-down in new
         construction and home sales and increased mortgage lending competition.
         The $30.7 million in loan sales were primarily long term fixed rate
         mortgages sold on the secondary market in an effort to reduce interest
         rate risk. Consumer loan originations increased to $29.8 million for
         the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $13.1 million for the
         same period last year due primarily to the increase in loans originated
         directly through local auto and recreational dealers.

              Mortgage-Backed Securities -- Mortgage-backed securities decreased
         $13.3 million to $91.6 million at December 31, 1996 from $104.9 million
         at June 30, 1996. The $13.3 million decrease was primarily the result
         of principal repayments of $10.9 million and the sale of $3.5 million
         of adjustable rate securities, partially offset by the purchase of $1.0
         million of adjustable rate securities.

              Investment Securities, FHLB Stock and Other Interest Earning
         Assets -- Investment securities, FHLB stock and other interest earning
         assets increased $13.0 million to $77.1 million at December 31, 1996
         from $64.1 million at June 30, 1996. The increase was primarily the
         result of the purchase of $42.7 million in investment securities, an
         increase in FHLB stock of $303,000 and a $10.6 million net increase in
         interest-bearing due from banks, partially offset by a $2.8 million net
         decrease in interest-bearing deposits and maturities and principal
         payments of $38.2 million. Investment securities purchased during the
         six month period ended December 31, 1996 included $40.7 million of U.S.
         Agency securities with maturities of three years or less and $2.0
         million of U.S. Agency securities with maturities of three to five
         years. These investments were purchased in an attempt to earn interest
         rates in excess of over-night funds rates while minimizing the effects
         of potential interest rate increases. These purchases were funded
         primarily from the proceeds of maturing investments and the proceeds of
         principal repayments and the sale of mortgage-backed securities.

              From time to time, Western Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), the
         regulated thrift institution subsidiary of the Company, may, in order
         to reduce interest rate risk, purchase financial instruments that lock
         in a spread between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
         liabilities. While these types of financial instruments limit risk,
         they also reduce the Bank's ability to maximize profits during periods
         of favorable interest rate trends. At December 31, 1996 the Bank had
         three structured notes totaling $4.7 million wherein

                                     - 10 -

         their interest rate is based upon a fraction of the increase or
         decrease in a specified index. These securities have variable interest
         rates and were purchased to enable the Bank to increase its interest
         income when interest rates increase. The market value of these
         securities at December 31, 1996 was $4.7 million and they will mature
         in 1998.

              The Bank may be a party to financial instruments with
         off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to reduce its
         own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial
         instruments may include interest rate cap and interest rate swap
         agreements. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
         credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the
         consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these
         instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in
         particular classes of financial instruments. For interest rate cap and
         interest rate swap agreements, the contract or notional amounts do not
         represent exposure to credit loss. The Bank controls the credit risk of
         those instruments through credit approval, limits and monitoring
         procedures.

              Interest Rate Caps -- Interest rate caps entitle the Bank to
         receive various interest payments in exchange for payment of a premium,
         provided the three-month LIBOR exceeds an agreed upon interest rate.
         Transaction fees paid in connection with interest rate cap agreements
         are amortized to interest expense as an adjustment of the interest cost
         of liabilities. Interest rate cap agreements are used to manage
         interest rate risk by synthetically extending the life of
         interest-bearing liabilities.

         The following summarizes interest rate cap agreements at December 31,
1996:

                $25,000                 March, 1997               6.5% - 10.0%
                  5,000                  July, 1999                   6.5%
                  5,000                  July, 1999                   7.0%
                ---------
                $35,000
                =========

              Interest Rate Swaps -- Interest rate swap agreements involve the
         exchange of fixed and floating rate payments without the exchange of
         the underlying principal amounts. Estimated amounts to be received or
         paid on the swap settlement dates are accrued when realized. The net
         swap settlements are reflected in interest expense. Interest rate swap
         agreements are used to manage interest rate risk by synthetically
         extending the life of interest-bearing liabilities. At December 31,
         1996 the Bank did not have any interest rate swap agreements in place.

              The counter party to the cap agreements is the FHLB of Seattle and
         the agreements are not collateralized. Interest rate swaps would be
         collateralized by stock in FHLB, certificates of deposit issued by the
         FHLB, securities issued by the U.S. Government or agency thereof,
         mortgage-backed securities, or qualifying first mortgage loans not
         otherwise pledged.

              Deposits -- Deposits decreased $6.4 million to $343.8 million at
         December 31, 1996 from $350.2 million at June 30, 1996. NOW and Money
         Market accounts decreased $1.8 million while Passbook accounts and
         Certificates of Deposit each decreased $2.3 million. The decrease in
         deposits is primarily the result of increased competition in the Bank's
         market areas. While the Bank pays competitive interest rates,

                                     - 11 -

         management believes it is not prudent to pay deposit rates beyond
         normal treasury spreads while the Bank's regulatory liquidity remains
         strong at 13.6%.

              Borrowed Funds -- Borrowed funds increased $4.9 million to $130.7
         million, at December 31, 1996 from $125.8 million at June 30, 1996.
         There was $10.0 million of new fixed rate advances with maturities of
         one to four years and a $320,000 note to a third party to purchase real
         estate to be used in the Bank's operations. Principal repayments on
         FHLB advances were $4.7 million and repayments on collateralized
         mortgage obligations were $203,000 during the six month period ended
         December 31, 1996. One advance of $500,000 matured during the period.

              Stockholders' Equity -- Stockholders' equity increased $899,000 to
         $79.5 million at December 31, 1996 from $78.6 million at June 30, 1996.
         This increase was due to net income for the six month period of $1.2
         million, $450,000 related to contributions to the Employee Stock
         Ownership Plan and shares earned under the Recognition and Retention
         Plan and $82,000 related to the change in unrealized gains associated
         with assets classified as available-for-sale being adjusted to market
         value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
         No. 115. Stockholders' equity was reduced $806,000 for dividends
         declared during the six month period.

         General -- Net income increased $207,000, or 18.1%, to $1,352,000 for
     the three month period ended December 31, 1996 from $1,145,000 for the same
     period last year. Net interest income after provision for loan losses
     increased $278,000 and non-interest income increased $215,000 while
     non-interest expense and income tax expense increased $207,000 and $79,000
     respectively. The net interest margin (net interest income divided by
     average interest-earning assets) increased to 3.50% during the quarter
     ended December 31, 1996 from 3.18% during the same period last year. The
     interest rate spread at December 31, 1996 was 2.65% as compared to 2.45% at
     December 31, 1995. During the quarter ended December 31, 1996 the Company
     re-invested maturing long-term securities into shorter term investment
     securities in order to fund the pending acquisition of Security Bancorp.

         Interest Income -- Interest income decreased $52,000 to $10.6 million
     for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 from $10.7 million for
     the same period last year. The slight decrease was the result of a $15.4
     million decrease in average total interest-earning assets to $539.8 million
     during the three month period ended December 31, 1996 from $555.2 million
     during the same period last year. The effects on interest income of the
     decrease in average interest-earning assets was partially offset by an
     increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 7.88% during
     the quarter ended December 31, 1996 from 7.69% during the same period last
     year.

         Interest earned on loans receivable increased $784,000 due primarily to
     a $29.1 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable to
     $370.8 million during the three month period ended December 31, 1996 from
     $341.7 million for the same period last year. In addition, the average
     yield on loans increased to 8.45% during the three month period ended
     December 31, 1996 from 8.25% for the same period last year. The increase in
     the average balance of loans receivable was the result of continued loan
     production in excess of principal repayments and the sale and
     securitization of loans. The increase in yield was the result of new loans
     being originated at rates greater than the average rate of loans being
     repaid, primarily on consumer loans.

         Interest earned on mortgage-backed securities decreased $756,000 due
     primarily to a $47.6 million decrease in the average balance of
     mortgage-backed securities outstanding to $95.1 million for the three month
     period ended December 31, 1996 from $142.7 million during the same period
     last year. The decrease in average balance was the result of management's
     decision during the fiscal year to use a portion of the mortgage-backed
     securities portfolio to partially fund the growth in loans receivable in an
     attempt to earn yields greater than those available on mortgage-backed
     securities.

         Interest earned on investment securities, FHLB stock and other interest
     earning assets decreased $80,000 primarily due to a decrease in the average
     yield to 6.09% during the quarter ended December 31, 1996 from 6.80% for
     the same period last year. The effects of the decrease in yield were
     partially offset by an increase in the average balance of these securities
     of $3.1 million to $73.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1996
     from $70.8 million during the same period last year. The decrease in yield
     was primarily the result of the re-investing of maturing securities into
     securities with shorter terms and lower yields than those securities
     maturing or called during the period. These short term, lower yielding
     securities are generally to be used to partially fund the pending
     acquisition of Security Bancorp.

         Interest Expense -- Total interest expense decreased $357,000 to $5.9
     million for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 from $6.3
     million for the same period last year. Interest expense on deposits
     decreased $245,000 due to both a decrease in the average rate paid on
     deposits to 4.47% during the three month period ended December 31, 1996
     from 4.68% during the same period last year and a decrease in the average
     balance of deposits of $245,000 to $342.2 million during the three month
     period ended December 31, 1996 from

                                     - 15 -

     $348.2 million during the same period last year. Certificates of deposit,
     passbook deposits, and money market accounts all decreased in both average
     balances and average rate paid. A new non-interest bearing checking program
     was implemented during the current fiscal year. The average balance of
     demand and NOW accounts increased $485,000 during the quarter ended
     December 31, 1996 to $47.7 million as compared to $47.2 million during the
     same period last year. The average rate paid on demand and NOW accounts
     decreased to 1.39% during the quarter ended December 31, 1996 from 1.94%
     for the same period last year. Interest expense on borrowed funds also
     decreased $112,000 due primarily to a decrease in average balances of $10.0
     million to $129.8 million during the three month period ended December 31,
     1996 from $139.8 million for the same period last year.

         Provisions for Loan Losses -- The provision for loan losses increased
     to $27,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared
     to no provision for the same period last year. The Company has begun adding
     to the provision for loan losses due to the increase in consumer loans and
     commercial real estate loans held in the loan portfolio.

         The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount
     to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have
     been deducted to bring the allowance to a level which is considered
     adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles. At December 31, 1996 the Company
     had $1.4 million of non-performing assets (representing 0.25% of total
     assets) compared to $715,000 at June 30, 1996 (representing 0.13% of total
     assets). The increase in non-performing assets was primarily the result of
     a $357,000 increase in non-performing consumer loans and a $199,000
     increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans. The $357,000
     increase in non-performing loans includes $309,000 of real estate secured
     loans. At December 31, 1996 the Company had allowance for loan losses to
     non-performing assets of 139.9% as compared to 280.4% at June 30, 1996.
     Future additions to the Company's allowance for loan losses and any change
     in the related ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing
     loans are dependent upon the performance and composition of the Company's
     loan portfolio, the economy, inflation, changes in real estate values and
     interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward adequate
     reserve levels.

         Non-Interest Income -- Non-interest income increased $215,000 to
     $903,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 from $688,000 for the same
     quarter last year. This was primarily the result of a $167,000 increase in
     gain on sale of loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment
     securities. There was an increase of $180,000 related to gains on sale of
     loans into the secondary market while a $13,000 loss was related to the
     sale of mortgage-backed securities.

         Non-Interest Expense -- Non-interest expense increased $207,000 to $3.4
     million for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 from $3.2 million for the
     same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to other expenses
     related to the expansion of customer service programs. The efficiency ratio
     (total non-interest expense divided by total income) improved to 61.6% for
     the quarter ended December 31, 1996 from 63.5% for the same quarter last
     year.

         Income Taxes -- Income tax expense increased $79,000 due to the
     $286,000 increase in income before income taxes.

         General -- Net income decreased $1.0 million to $1.2 million for the
     six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $2.2 million for the same
     period last year. The $1.0 million decrease in net income resulted from a
     $1.4 million after tax one-time special assessment to recapitalize the
     Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"). Net income was decreased
     by increases in non-interest expense of $2.3 million and a decrease in
     non-interest income of $39,000 while increases in net interest income after
     provisions for loan losses of $658,000 and a reduction in income tax
     expense of $680,000 partially offset the decreases to net income.

         Interest Income -- Interest income increased $135,000 to $21.2 million
     for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $21.1 million for the
     same period last year. The increase resulted from an increase in the
     average yield on interest-earning assets to 7.85% during the six month
     period ended December 31, 1996 from 7.67% during the same period last year,
     which offset the effects of a $9.0 million decrease in the average balance
     of interest-earning assets to $540.6 million during the six month period
     ended December 31, 1996 from $549.6 million during the same period last
     year.

         Interest earned on loans receivable increased $1.8 million, or 13.1%,
     to $15.5 million for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from
     $13.7 million for the same period last year, due primarily to a $39.0
     million increase in the average balance of loans receivable to $370.8
     million during the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $331.8
     million for the same period last year. In addition, the average yield on
     loans increased to 8.38% during the six month period ended December 31,
     1996 from 8.24% for the same period last year. The increase in the average
     balance of loans receivable was the result of continued loan production in
     excess of principal repayments and the sale and securitization of loans.
     The increase in yield was the result of new loans being originated at rates
     greater than the average rate of loans being repaid, primarily on consumer
     loans.

         Interest earned on mortgage-backed securities decreased $1.4 million
     due primarily to a $41.6 million decrease in the average balance of
     mortgage-backed securities outstanding to $98.7 million for the six month
     period ended December 31, 1996 from $140.3 million during the same period
     last year. The decrease in average balance was the result of management's
     decision during the fiscal year to use a portion of the mortgage-backed
     securities portfolio to partially fund the growth in loans receivable in an
     attempt to earn yields greater than those available on mortgage-backed
     securities.

         Interest earned on investment securities, FHLB stock and other interest
     earning assets decreased $362,000 due primarily to a decrease of $6.4
     million in average balances to $71.1 million during the six month period
     ended December 31, 1996 from $77.5 million during the same period last
     year. This decrease was the result of investing the proceeds of maturing
     investments into higher yielding new production mortgage and consumer
     loans.

         Interest Expense -- Total interest expense decreased $565,000 to $11.8
     million for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $12.4 million
     for the same period last year. Interest expense on deposits decreased
     $381,000 due to both a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits to
     4.47% during the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from 4.65% during
     the same period last year and a decrease in the average balance of deposits
     of $3.3 million to $344.2 million during the six month period ended
     December 31, 1996 from $347.5 million during the same period last year.
     Certificates of deposit, passbook deposits, and money market accounts all
     decreased in both average balances and average rate paid. A new
     non-interest bearing checking program was implemented during the quarter
     ended September 30, 1996 resulting in an increase in the average balance
     outstanding and a decrease in the average rate paid on demand and NOW
     accounts. Interest expense on borrowed funds also decreased $184,000 due to
     both a decrease in average balances of $6.8 million to $129.6 million
     during the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $136.4 million for
     the same

     period last year while the average rate paid on FHLB advances increased
     slightly to 6.34% for the six months ended December 31, 1996 from 6.29% for
     the same period last year.

         Provisions for Loan Losses -- The provision for loan losses increased
     to $42,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
     no provision for the same period last year. The Company has begun adding to
     the provision for loan losses due to the increase in consumer loans and
     commercial real estate loans held in the loan portfolio.

         Non-Interest Income -- Non-interest income decreased $39,000 to $1.7
     million for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $1.8 million
     for the same period last year. Gain on sale of loans, mortgage-backed
     securities, and investment securities decreased $135,000 while fees and
     service charges increased $104,000. The $104,000 increase in service fees
     was primarily the result of increases in checking fees and ATM transaction
     fees.

         Non-Interest Expense -- Non-interest expense increased $2.4 million to
     $9.2 million for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $6.8
     million for the same period last year. The primary reason for the increase
     was a $2.3 million one-time special assessment to recapitalize the SAIF.

         The deposits of savings associations, such as Western Federal Savings
     Bank, are presently insured by the SAIF, which together with the Bank
     Insurance Fund (the "BIF") are the two insurance funds administered by the
     Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). Financial institutions
     which are members of the BIF are experiencing substantially lower deposit
     insurance premiums because the BIF has achieved its required level of
     reserves while the SAIF has not yet achieved its required reserves. In
     order to help eliminate this disparity and any competitive disadvantage due
     to disparate deposit insurance premium schedules, legislation to
     recapitalize the SAIF was enacted in September, 1996.

         The legislation required a special one-time assessment of approximately
     65.7 cents per $100 of SAIF insured deposits held by the Bank at March 31,
     1995. The one-time special assessment resulted in a tax affected charge to
     earnings of approximately $1.4 million during the quarter ended September
     30, 1996. The legislation is intended to fully recapitalize the SAIF fund
     so that commercial bank and thrift deposits will be charged the same FDIC
     premiums beginning October 1, 1996. As of such date deposit insurance
     premiums for highly rated institutions, such as the Bank, have been
     eliminated.

         The Bank, however, will continue to be subject to an assessment to fund
     repayment of the FICO obligations. The FICO assessment for the SAIF insured
     institutions will be 6.48 cents per $100 of deposits while BIF insured
     institutions will pay 1.30 cents per $100 of deposits until the year 2000
     when the assessment will be imposed at the same rate on all FDIC insured
     institutions. Accordingly, as a result of the reduction of the SAIF
     assessment, and the resulting FICO assessment, the annual after tax
     decrease in assessment costs is expected to be approximately $375,000 based
     upon the Bank's September 30, 1996 assessment base.

         Without the $2.3 million SAIF assessment, non-interest expense
     increased $39,000 to $6.9 million for the six month period ended December
     31, 1996 from the $6.8 million for the same period last year. Excluding the
     $2.3 million special SAIF assessment, the efficiency ratio improved to
     62.2% for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from 65.5% for the
     same period last year.

         Income Taxes -- Income tax expense decreased $680,000 due to a
     reduction in income before income taxes of $1.7 million.

         Loan Quality -- The following table sets forth the amounts and
     categories on non-performing assets in the Company's loan portfolio. For
     all periods presented, the Company did not have any troubled debt
     restructuring which involved forgiving a portion of interest or principal
     on any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than market rates.
     Foreclosed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans, and are
     recorded at the lower of the related loan balance, less any specific
     allowance for loss, or fair value at the date of foreclosure.

         Non-Performing Assets -- Total non-performing assets increased $715,000
     to $1.4 million at December 31, 1996 from $715,000 at fiscal year end June
     30, 1996. The increase was primarily the result of a $357,000 increase in
     non-performing consumer loans and a $199,000 increase in non-performing
     commercial real estate loans. The $357,000 increase in non-performing
     consumer loans includes $309,000 of real estate secured loans. In addition,
     the $1.4 million of non-performing assets at December 31, 1996 includes
     $251,000 of non-accruing consumer loans 100% secured by loans on savings
     accounts. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was
     0.25% at December 31, 1996. In addition to the non-performing loans and
     foreclosed assets set forth in the preceding table, as of December 31,
     1996, there were $379,000 of loans identified by the Company with respect
     to which information known about the possible credit problems of the
     borrowers or of the cash flows of the security properties have caused
     management to have some concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to
     comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future
     inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories.

         At December 31, 1996 the recorded investment in impaired loans was
     $553,000, all of which were on non-accrual status. The Company has not
     established an impairment allowance for these loans. The amount of interest
     income recognized on impaired loans during this period was immaterial.

         Regulatory Capital -- At December 31, 1996 Western Federal Savings Bank
     (the "Bank"), the regulated thrift institution subsidiary of the Company,
     met all applicable regulatory capital requirements, including the fully
     phased-in risk based capital requirements. The following table provides
     information on an unconsolidated basis indicating the extent to which the
     Bank exceeds the minimum capital requirements under federal regulations as
     of December 31, 1996.

         The OTS has adopted, but temporarily postponed implementation until
     further notice, a final rule that requires every savings association with
     more than normal interest rate risk to deduct from its total capital an
     amount equal to 50% of its interest-rate risk exposure multiplied by the
     present value of its assets when calculating and determining compliance
     with risk-based capital requirements. This exposure is a measure of the
     potential decline in the net portfolio value of a savings association,
     greater than 2% of the present value of its assets, based upon a
     hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates
     (whichever results in a greater decline). Net portfolio value is the
     present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and
     off-balance sheet contracts. The rule provides for a two quarter lag
     between calculating interest rate risk and recognizing any deduction from
     capital. The amount to be deducted from capital is the lowest interest rate
     risk component reported in an institution's exposure reports to the OTS for
     the three most recent quarters. Based upon interest-rate risk exposure
     calculations as provided by the OTS for the period ended September 30,
     1996, the most recent date such information is available from the OTS, the
     deduction from the Bank's total capital would be $1.7 million under this
     rule. Based on the Bank's excess risk-based capital of $40.9 million at
     December 31, 1996 not withstanding this $1.7 million deduction from
     capital, the Bank would continue to exceed its risk-based capital
     requirement.

         The OTS has amended its regulatory capital regulations to exclude from
     regulatory capital the unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, as
     required by FASB accounting standard SFAS No. 115 , "Accounting for Certain
     Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". At December 31, 1996 the Bank
     had $139,000 of unrealized losses, net of income taxes, that were added to
     capital for purposes of determining regulatory capital.
