1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATIONS

         These  consolidated   financial  statements  are  unaudited  (with  the
exception of the  Consolidated  Statement of  Financial  Condition  for June 30,
1998). These consolidated  financial statements were prepared in accordance with
instructions  for Form 10-QSB and  therefore,  do not  include  all  disclosures
necessary for a complete  presentation of the statements of financial condition,
statements of income and  statements of cash flows in accordance  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  However,  in the opinion of  management,  all
adjustments  necessary for a fair  presentation  of the  consolidated  financial
statements  have  been  included.   Results  for  any  interim  period  are  not
necessarily   indicative  of  results   expected  for  the  year.   The  interim
consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of StateFed  Financial
Corporation (the "Corporation"),  its subsidiary, State Federal Savings and Loan
Association  (the  "Association"  or  "State  Federal")  and  the  Association's
subsidiary, State Service Corporation.

         These  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the consolidated
financial  statements and related notes,  which are incorporated by reference in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year, ended June 30, 1998.


2.       EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

         Basic earnings per share are computed  based upon the  weighted-average
shares  outstanding  during  the  period,  less  shares  in the  ESOP  that  are
unallocated and are not committed to be released.

         Diluted  earnings per share are computed by  considering  common stocks
outstanding  and  dilutive  potential  common  shares  to be  issued  under  the
Company's stock option plan.

                                  PART I ITEM 2

                         STATEFED FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                       Condition and Results of Operations

General

         The accompanying  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  include StateFed
Financial  Corporation  (the "Company") and its wholly owned  subsidiary,  State
Federal  Savings  and Loan  Association  (the  "Association").  All  significant
inter-company  transactions  and balances are eliminated in  consolidation.  The
Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on the Association's net
interest  margin,  which is the  difference  between  interest  income earned on
interest-earning   assets  and  interest   expense   paid  on   interest-bearing
liabilities.  The  Association's net income is also affected by the level of its
non-interest  expenses,  such as employee  compensation and benefits,  occupancy
expenses, and other expenses.

          When used in this Form 10-Q and in future filings with the SEC, in the
Company's press releases or other public or shareholder communications,  as well
as in oral  statements  made by the  executive  officers  of the  Company or its
primary  subsidiary,  the words or phrases  "will likely  result," "are expected
to,"  "will  continue,"  "is  anticipated,"  "estimated,"  "project"  or similar
expressions  are intended to identify  "forward-looking  statements"  within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,  including,  among other things,
changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies
by regulatory agencies,  fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the
Company's market area and competition, that could cause actual results to differ
materially  from  historical   earnings  and  those  presently   anticipated  or
projected.  The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date made. The
Company  wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect its
financial  performance  and could cause its actual results for future periods to
differ  materially  from any opinions or  statements  expressed  with respect to
future periods in any current statements.

          The  Company  does  not  undertake--and   specifically   declines  any
obligation--to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to
any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or  unanticipated
events.

Financial Condition

         The Company's  total assets  increased  $900,000,  or 1.0%,  from $89.8
million at June 30, 1998 to $90.7  million at March 31, 1999.  This increase was
due  primarily  to  an  increase  in  cash  and  amounts  due  from   depository
institutions  of $1.4  million,  and an  increase  in net  loans  receivable  of
$800,000,  partially  offset by a decrease in investment  securities of $800,000
and a decrease in investments in certificates of deposit of $500,000.


                                       10

<PAGE>

         Net loans receivable increased $800,000, or 1.1%, from $69.0 million at
June 30,  1998 to $69.8  million at March 31,  1999.  The  increase  in the loan
portfolio  occurred as a result of an increase  in loan  originations  comprised
primarily of fixed-rate mortgage loans on residential  properties and adjustable
rate mortgage loans on commercial real estate.

         Total deposits  increased by $1.1 million,  or 2.0%, from $53.7 million
at June 30, 1998 to $54.8 million at March 31, 1999.  Money market fund accounts
increased $1.2 million and NOW accounts  increased  $342,000,  while certificate
accounts  decreased  $461,000  and  passbook  accounts  decreased  $44,000.  The
increase was the result of the company competitively pricing its products.

         Total  stockholders'  equity  increased  $261,900 from $16.1 million at
June  30,  1998 to $16.3  million  at  March  31,  1999.  The  increase  was due
primarily,  to net income of $753,900 and  accounting  for employee stock awards
and options of $163,700,  partially  offset by the result of the treasury  stock
repurchases  of $320,000,  dividends  declared of $270,900,  and a change in net
unrealized gains on investment securities of $64,800.


Comparison  of Operating  Results for the Three Month  Periods  Ending March 31,
1999 and March 31, 1998

         General.  Net income  increased $8,100 to $276,100 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from  $268,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 1998.
The increase was primarily the result of an increase in  non-interest  income of
$67,400,  partially  offset by a decrease in net interest income of $23,900,  an
increase  in  non-interest  expense of  $22,800,  and an  increase in income tax
expense of $9,900.

         Net  Interest  Income.  Net interest  income  decreased  $23,900,  from
$702,800  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 to $678,900  for the three
months  ended  March 31,  1999.  This  decrease  was the result of a decrease in
interest income of $50,900, offset by a decrease in interest expense $27,000.

         Interest Income.  Interest income decreased $50,900, from $1.71 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.66  million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999  primarily as a result of a decrease in the rates earned on
interest earning assets.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $27,000 from $1.0 million
in the three  months ended March 31, 1998 to $985,200 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. This decrease resulted  primarily from a decrease in the balance
of deposit accounts and borrowings,  and also slightly lower interest rates paid
on these accounts.

         Provision  for Loan Losses.  The  provision  for loan losses  increased
$3,000 in the three  months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The provision during the three months ended March 31, 1999
was based on management's analysis of the allowance for loan losses. The Company
will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and make future additions
to the allowance  through the  provision for loan losses as economic  conditions
dictate. Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a

                                       11

<PAGE>

level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential  losses,  there
can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required for future periods.

         Non-interest   Income.   Non-interest  income  increased  $67,400  from
$163,600  in the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998 to  $231,000 in the three
months ended March 31, 1999. This increase  reflects  increased  income from the
Company's  real  estate  operations  as well as an  increase  in gain on sale of
investments.

         Non-interest  Expense.  Non-interest expense increased from $465,000 in
the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 to  $487,800 in the three  months  ended
March 31,  1999.  This  increase  of  $22,800,  was  primarily  the result of an
increase  in real  estate  operations  expense of  $30,000  and an  increase  in
occupancy and equipment  expense of $14,800,  partially  offset by a decrease in
salaries and benefits expense of $15,000.

           Income Tax  Expense.  Income tax expense was  $137,200  for the three
months  ended March 31, 1999  compared to $127,400  for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1998, an increase of $9,800,  primarily due to the increase in taxable
income.


Comparison of the Nine Month Periods Ending March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998

         General. Net income decreased $11,500 from $765,400 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998 to $753,900 for the nine months  ended March 31, 1999.  The
decrease  was  primarily  the result of a  decrease  in net  interest  income of
$72,200, an increase in non-interest expense of $105,100, and an increase in the
provision  for loan  losses  of  $9,000,  partially  offset  by an  increase  in
non-interest income of $163,400 and a decrease in income tax expense of $11,400.

         Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased  $72,200,  from $2.1
million  for the nine months  ended March 31, 1998 to $2.0  million for the nine
months  ended  March 31,  1999.  This  decrease  was  primarily  the result of a
decrease in the rates earned on interest  earning assets,  partially offset by a
decrease on rates paid on deposits and borrowings.

         Interest Income.  Interest income decreased $57,800, from $5.12 million
for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to $5.06  million the nine months ended
March 31,  1999.  The slight  decrease  is a result of a  decrease  in the rates
earned on interest earning assets.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $14,400 from $3.01 million
in the nine  months  ended  March 31,  1998 to $3.03  million in the nine months
ended March 31,  1999.  This  increase  resulted  from a slight  increase in the
balance  of  deposits,  partially  offset by a  decrease  in the  rates  paid on
deposits and borrowings.

         Provision  for Loan Losses.  The  provision  for loan losses  increased
$9,000 in the nine  months  ended  March 31, 1999 as compared to the nine months
ended March 31, 1998. The provision  during the nine months ended March 31, 1999
was based on management's analysis of

                                       12

<PAGE>

the  allowance  for loan  losses.  The  Company  will  continue  to monitor  its
allowance for loan losses and make future additions to the allowance through the
provision for loan losses as economic conditions  dictate.  Although the Company
maintains  its  allowance  for loan losses at a level which it  considers  to be
adequate to provide for potential losses,  there can be no assurance that future
losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional  provisions for loan
losses will not be required for future periods.

         Non-interest  Income.   Non-interest  income  increased  $163,400  from
$406,100 in the nine months  ended March 31, 1998 to $596,500 in the nine months
ended March 31, 1999.  The increase was  primarily  the result of an increase in
real  estate  operations  of  $114,800  and an  increase  in  gain  on  sale  of
investments of $40,200.

         Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased from $1.35 million
in the nine  months  ended  March 31,  1998 to $1.45  million in the nine months
ended March 31, 1999.  This  increase of $105,100 was primarily the result of an
increase of $63,800 in real estate operations  expense, an increase in occupancy
and equipment expense of $33,100,  an increase in other non-interest  expense of
$17,100, and an increase in data processing expense of $10,000, partially offset
by a decrease in salaries and benefit expense of $21,500.

         Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense decreased from $381,100 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1998 to $369,700 for the nine months ended March 31,
1999, a decrease of $11,400.  The decrease was  primarily due to the decrease in
taxes on taxable income.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary sources of funds
are  deposits,  principal  and  interest  payments  on  loans,  FHLB Des  Moines
advances, and funds provided by operations.  While scheduled loan repayments and
maturity of short-term investments are a relatively predictable source of funds,
deposit  flows are  greatly  influenced  by  general  interest  rates,  economic
conditions,  and competition.  Current Office of Thrift Supervision  regulations
require the bank to maintain cash and eligible investments in an amount equal to
at least 5% of customer accounts and short-term borrowings to assure its ability
to meet demands for  withdrawals and repayment of short-term  borrowings.  As of
March 31, 1999, the Association's liquidity ratio was 19.96%, which exceeded the
minimum regulatory requirement on such date.

         The Company uses its capital resources  principally to meet its ongoing
commitments,  to fund maturing  certificates  of deposits and loan  commitments,
maintain its liquidity, and meet its foreseeable short- and long term needs. The
Company expects to be able to fund or refinance, on a timely basis, its material
commitments and long-term liabilities.

         Regulatory  standards  impose the  following  capital  requirements:  a
risk-based  capital  standard  expressed as a percent of risk adjusted assets, a
leverage ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets,  and a tangible capital
ratio expressed as a percent of total adjusted assets. As of March 31, 1999, the
Association exceeded all fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements.

         At March 31, 1999, the Association's tangible capital was $7.5 million,
or 8.79%, of adjusted total assets,  which is in excess of the 1.5%  requirement
by $6.3  million.  In addition,  at March 31,  1999,  the  Association  had core
capital of $7.5 million,  or 8.79%, of adjusted total assets,  which exceeds the
3% requirement by $5.0 million. The Association had risk-based

                                       13

<PAGE>

capital of $7.8  million  at March 31,  1999 or 15.25% of  risk-adjusted  assets
which exceeds the 8.0% risk-based capital requirements by $3.7 million.

Regulatory Developments

     As  of  March  31,   l999,   management   is  not  aware  of  any   current
recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented,
would have or are  reasonable  likely to have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company's liquidity, capital resources of operations.

Year 2000 Compliance

         General.  The year  2000  ("Y2K")  issue  confronting  the Bank and its
suppliers,  customers,  customers'  suppliers  and  competitors  centers  on the
inability of computer systems to recognize the year 2000. Many existing computer
programs  and  systems  originally  were  programmed  with six digit  dates that
provided only two digits to identify the calendar  year in the date field.  With
the impending new  millennium,  these programs and computers will recognize "00"
as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.

         Financial  institution  regulators  recently have increased their focus
upon  Y2K   compliance   issues  and  have  issued   guidance   concerning   the
responsibilities  of senior  management  and  directors.  The Federal  Financial
Institutions  Examination  Council  ("FFIEC")  has  issued  several  interagency
statements  on  Y2K  Project  Management  Awareness.  These  statements  require
financial  institutions to, among other things,  examine the Y2K implications of
their  reliance on vendors and with respect to data  exchange and the  potential
impact  of the Y2K  issue on their  customers,  supplies  and  borrowers.  These
statements also require each federally regulated financial institution to survey
its  exposure,  measure  risk and  prepare a plan to address  the Y2K issue.  In
addition,  the  federal  banking  regulators  have issued  safety and  soundness
guidelines to be followed by insured depository institutions,  such as the Bank,
to assure  resolution of any Y2K  problems.  The federal  banking  agencies have
asserted that Y2K testing and  certification is a key safety and soundness issue
in conjunction  with regulatory  examinations  and, thus, that an  institution's
failure to  address  appropriately  the Y2K issue  could  result in  supervisory
action,  including the reduction of the institution's  supervisory  ratings, the
denial  of  applications  for  approval  of  mergers  or  acquisitions,  or  the
imposition of civil money penalties.


















                                       14

<PAGE>

         Risk. Like most financial institutions service providers,  the Bank and
its  operations  may be  significantly  affected  by the  Y2K  issue  due to its
dependence on technology and date-sensitive data. Computer software and hardware
and other equipment, both within and outside the Bank's direct control and third
parties with whom the Bank electronically or operationally interfaces (including
without  limitation  its  customers  and third party  vendors)  are likely to be
affected.  If computer  systems are not modified in order to be able to identify
the year  2000,  many  computer  applications  could  fail or  create  erroneous
results.  As a result,  many calculations  which rely on date field information,
such as  interest,  payment or due dates and other  operating  functions,  could
generate  results  which  are  significantly   misstated,  and  the  Bank  could
experience an inability to process transactions, prepare statements or engage in
similar normal business activities.  Likewise,  under certain  circumstances,  a
failure to adequately address the Y2K issue could adversely effect the viability
of the Bank's suppliers and creditors and the creditworthiness of its borrowers.
Thus, if not adequately  addressed,  the Y2K issue could result in a significant
adverse impact on the Bank's  operations  and, in turn, its financial  condition
and results of operations.

     State of Readiness.  During  November 1997, the Bank formulated its plan to
address the Y2K issue. Since that time, the Bank has taken the following steps:

     o    Established senior management advisory and review responsibilities;

     o    Completed a Bank-wide inventory of applications and system software;

     o    Built  an  internal  tracking  database  for  application  and  vendor
          software;

     o    Developed compliance plans and schedules for all lines of business;

     o    Initiated vendor compliance verification;

     o    Begun  awareness  and  education   activities  for  employees  through
          existing internal communication channels; and

     o    Developed  a process to respond to  customer  inquires as well as help
          educate customers on the Y2K issue.

The following paragraphs summarize the phases of the Bank's Y2K plan:

         Awareness Phase.  The Bank formally  established a Y2K plan headed by a
senior  manager,  and a project team was  assembled  for  management  of the Y2K
project.  The project  team created a plan of action that  includes  milestones,
budge estimates, strategies, and methodologies to track and report the status of
the  project.  Members  of  the  project  team  also  attended  conferences  and
information  sharing  sessions  to gain  more  insight  into the Y2K  issue  and
potential strategies for addressing it.  This phase is substantially complete.

         Assessment  Phase.  The Bank's  strategies were further  developed with
respect  to how the  objectives  of the Y2K  plan  would be  achieved,  and aY2K
business  risk  assessment  was made to  quantify  the  extent of the Bank's Y2K
exposure. A corporate inventory (which is periodically updated as new technology
is acquired and as systems progress through subsequent phases) was


                                       15

developed  to  identify  and  monitor  Y2K  readiness  for  information  systems
(hardware,  software,  utilities and vendors) as well as  environmental  systems
(security systems, facilities, etc.). Systems were prioritized based on business
impact and available alternatives.  Mission critical systems supplied by vendors
were  researched  to determine  Y2K  readiness.  If Y2K-ready  versions were not
available, the Bank began identifying functional replacements, which were either
upgradable  or currently  Y2K-ready,  and a formal plan was developed to repair,
upgrade or replace all mission  critical  systems.  This phase is  substantially
complete.

         Beginning in October 1998, all unsecured  credits greater than $100,000
were sent a questionnaire developed by the Bank's credit administration staff to
evaluate Y2K exposure.  The Bank also contacted its most  significant  borrowers
informing them of the Y2K issue.  Because the Bank's loan portfolio is primarily
real  estate-based  and is diversified  with regard to individual  borrowers and
types of businesses,  and the Bank's  primary  market area is not  significantly
dependent on one employer or industry,  the Bank does not expect any significant
or  prolonged  Y2K-related  difficulties  that will affect net  earnings or cash
flow. As part of the current credit approval process,  all new and renewed loans
are evaluated for Y2K risk.

         Renovation  Phase.  The Bank's  corporate  inventory  revealed that Y2K
upgrades were available for all vendor supplied  mission critical  systems,  and
all these Y2K-ready  versions have been delivered and placed into production and
have entered the validation process.

         Validation  Phase. The validation phase is designed to test the ability
of hardware and software to accurately  process date  sensitive  data.  The Bank
currently  is in the  process of  validation  testing of each  mission  critical
system,  with the degree of completion of such testing ranging from 25% to 100%.
The Bank's  validation  phase is expected to be  completed by March 31, 1999 for
all mission critical systems.  During the validation testing process to date, no
significant  Y2K  problems  have been  identified  relating  to any  modified or
upgraded mission critical systems.

         Implementation  Phase. The Bank's plan calls for putting Y2K-ready code
into  production  before  having  actually  completed  Y2K  validation  testing.
Y2K-ready  modified or upgraded  versions  have been  installed  and placed into
production with respect to all mission critical systems.

         Bank Resources Invested.  The Bank's Y2K project team has been assigned
the task of ensuring that all systems across the Bank are  identified,  analyzed
for Y2K  compliance,  corrected,  if  necessary,  tested,  and  changes put into
service  by the  end of  1998.  The  Y2K  project  team  members  represent  all
functional  areas  of  the  Bank,  including  branches,  data  processing,  loan
administration, accounting, item processing and operations, compliance, internal
audit,  human resources,  and marketing.  The team is headed by a vice president
who  reports  directly to a member of the Bank's  senior  management  team.  The
Bank's  board of  Directors  oversees  the Y2K plan and  provides  guidance  and
resources to, and received quarterly updates from, the Y2K project team.

         The Bank expenses all costs associated with the required system changes
as those costs are incurred,  and such costs are being funded through  operating
cash  flows.  The Bank  does not  anticipate  incurring  significant  additional
expense to implement additional corrective actions.

         Contingency  Plans.  During  the  assessment  phase,  the Bank began to
develop  back-up  contingency  plans for each of its mission  critical  systems.
Virtually all of the Bank's  mission  critical  systems are dependent upon third
party  vendors  or  service  providers,  therefore,  contingency  plans  include
selecting a new vendor or service  provider and  converting to their system.  In
the event a current  vendor's system fails during the validation phase and it is
determined  that the vendor is unable or unwilling  to correct the failure,  the
Bank will  convert  to a new  system  from a  pre-selected  list of  prospective
vendors.  In each such case,  realistic  trigger dates have been  established to
allow for orderly and  successful  conversions.  For some  systems,  contingency
plans consist of using spreadsheet software or reverting to manual systems until
system problems can be corrected.  Although the Bank has been informed that each
of its primary vendors  anticipates that all mission critical systems either are
or will timely be Y2K-ready, no warranties have been received from such vendors.
