Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.             Statement of Information Furnished

        The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements have been
        prepared in  accordance  with Form 10-Q  instructions  and Article 10 of
        Regulation   S-X,  and  in  the  opinion  of  management   contains  all
        adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature)  necessary
        to present  fairly the  financial  position  as of March 31,  2000,  the
        results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
        and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. These
        results  have  been  determined  on  the  basis  of  generally  accepted
        accounting  principles.  The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
        conformity with generally  accepted  principles  requires  management to
        make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the  reported  amounts of
        assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosures  of  contingent   assets  and
        liabilities  at the date of the  financial  statements  and the reported
        amounts of revenues and expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual
        results  could differ from those  estimates.  The attached  consolidated
        statements are those of AMB Financial Corp. (the "Holding  Company") and
        its consolidated  subsidiaries  American Savings,  FSB (the "Bank"), the
        Bank's  wholly  owned  subsidiary  NIFCO,  Inc.,  and the  wholly  owned
        subsidiary  of NIFCO,  Inc.,  Ridge  Management,  Inc.  The  results  of
        operations  for the three  month  period  ended  March  31,  2000 is not
        necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.      Mutual to Stock Conversion

        In  December  1995,  the Bank's  Board of  Directors  approved a Plan of
        Conversion (the "Conversion"),  providing for the Bank's conversion from
        a federally  chartered  mutual  savings to a federally  chartered  stock
        savings bank with the  concurrent  formation of a holding  company.  The
        Holding Company issued  1,124,125  shares of $.01 par value common stock
        at  $10.00  per  share,  for an  aggregate  price  of  $11,241,250.  The
        Conversion  and sale of 1,124,125  shares of common stock of the Holding
        Company was  completed on March 29,  1996.  Net proceeds to the Company,
        after conversion expenses, totaled approximately $10,658,000.

3.      Earnings Per Share

        Earnings per share for the three month  periods ended March 31, 2000 and
        1999 were  determined  by  dividing  net income  for the  periods by the
        weighted average number of both basic and diluted shares of common stock
        and common stock  equivalents  outstanding  (see  Exhibit 11  attached).
        Stock  options  are  regarded  as  common  stock   equivalents  and  are
        considered  in diluted  earnings  per share  calculations.  Common stock
        equivalents  are computed using the treasury  stock method.  ESOP shares

                                       7
<PAGE>

        not  committed  to  be  released  to  participants  are  not  considered
        outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share amounts.

4.      Industry Segments

        The Company  operates  principally in the banking  industry  through its
        subsidiary bank. As such,  substantially all of the Company's  revenues,
        net income,  identifiable assets and capital expenditures are related to
        banking operations.

5.      Impact of New Accounting Standards

        In  June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
        Standards  No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),  entitled  "Accounting  for  Derivative
        Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is effective for fiscal years
        beginning  after June 15, 1999.  SFAS 133 requires all derivatives to be
        recorded  on the  balance  sheet  at fair  value.  It  also  establishes
        "special  accounting" for hedges of changes in the fair value of assets,
        liabilities,  or firm  commitments  (fair value  hedges),  hedges of the
        variable cash flows of forecasted  transactions (cash flow hedges),  and
        hedges of  foreign  currency  exposures  of net  investments  in foreign
        operations. To the extent the hedge is considered highly effective, both
        the  change in the fair  value of the  derivative  and the change in the
        fair value of the hedged item are recognized (offset) in earnings in the
        same period.  Changes in fair value of derivatives  that do not meet the
        criteria of one of these three hedge categories are included in income.

        In September  1999,  the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting
        Standards  No. 137 ("SFAS 137"),  entitled  "Accounting  for  Derivative
        Instruments  in Hedging  Activities - Deferral of the Effective  Date of
        FASB Statements no. 133". SFAS 137 defers the effective date of SFAS 133
        from years  beginning  after June 15,  1999 to all  fiscal  quarters  of
        fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  Management does not believe
        that  adoption of SFAS 133 will have a material  impact on the Company's
        consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

        The  foregoing  does  not  constitute  a  comprehensive  summary  of all
        material  changes  or  development  affecting  the  manner  in which the
        Company   keeps  its  books  and  records  and  performs  its  financial
        accounting responsibilities. It is intended only as a summary of some of
        the  recent  pronouncements  made by the FASB,  which are of  particular
        interest to financial institutions.

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

                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

                  March 31, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999

        Total assets of the Company  increased $1.8 million to $129.6 million at
        March 31, 2000  compared to $127.8  million at December 31, 1999.  While
        the Company intends to grow the balance sheet,  management  expects that
        the recent  rise in interest  rates and  anticipated  future  tightening
        actions by the Federal Reserve may slow housing market  activity.  This,
        in turn,  wills likely lead to more  moderate  balance sheet growth than
        was expected.

        Cash and cash  equivalents  increased by $2.1 million to $7.6 million at
        March 31, 2000. The Company has accumulated  additional short-term funds
        to be utilized for either near term loan  production or  investment,  or
        possibly to reduce upcoming maturing borrowed money. The increase in the
        Company's cash position was primarily  funded by an increase in deposits
        in the amount of $2.0 million to $90.9 million at March 31, 2000.

        Investment  securities  available  for sale  decreased  $317,000 to $5.0
        million at March 31, 2000.  The decrease is primarily due to the sale of
        $300,000   short-term   U.S.   Treasury,   which  was   reinvested,   in
        mortgage-backed securities. Gross unrealized losses in the available for
        sale  portfolio  were  $151,000  at March 31,  2000,  compared  to gross
        unrealized losses of $133,000 at December 31, 1999.

        Mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased $537,000 to $2.4
        million at March 31, 2000. The increase is primarily due to purchases of
        $998,000  of fixed  rate  GNMA  securities  offset  by  prepayments  and
        amortization of $80,000 and sales of $362,000.

        Loans receivable decreased $900,000 to $105.1 million at March 31, 2000,
        as loan a repayments  totaling $5.1 million,  exceeded loan originations
        of both residential and  non-residential  loans of $3.6 million and loan
        purchases of  $687,000.  The Company  continues to remain  focused on an
        aggressive  lending effort;  however,  recent higher interest rates have
        curtailed the production of longer fixed rate mortgage loans.

        Total deposits at March 31, 2000 increased by $2.0 million,  or 2.25% to
        $90.9 million,  due to net deposit receipts of $1.2 million and interest
        credited of $800,000.  The deposit growth was primarily  attributable to
        the Company's  continued  aggressive  advertising and competitive  rates
        with regards to a special 14 month certificate promotion.

                                       9
<PAGE>


        Total stockholders'  equity decreased $592,000 to $10.9 million at March
        31, 2000 from $11.5  million at December  31,  1999.  This  decrease was
        primarily  due to the  repurchases  of  common  stock in the  amount  of
        $742,000,  the payment of  dividends  on common  stock of $49,000 and an
        increase of $11,000 in the unrealized  loss on securities  available for
        sale, which was offset by net income of $174,000 and normal amortization
        of RRP and ESOP benefits of $36,000. The Company is no longer subject to
        regulatory  limitations  on stock  repurchases  and  intends to continue
        modest repurchases of stock.

                              Results of Operations

        The Company's  results of operations  depend primarily upon the level of
        net income,  which is the difference  between the interest income earned
        on its  interest-earning  assets such as loans and investments,  and the
        costs of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities,  primarily deposits
        and  borrowings.   Net  interest  income  depends  upon  the  volume  of
        interest-earning   assets  and  interest-bearing   liabilities  and  the
        interest  rate  earned  or  paid  on  them,  respectively.   Results  of
        operations   are  also   dependent  upon  the  level  of  the  Company's
        non-interest  income,  including  fee income and  service  charges,  and
        affected  by the  level  of its  non-interest  expenses,  including  its
        general and administrative expenses.

        Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters
        Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

        Net Income

        The  Company's  net income for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000
        increased $21,000 to $174,000, as compared to a $153,000 profit for the
        same  period  in  1999.  This  increase  was due to an  increase  in net
        interest  income of $18,000 and a  reduction  in current  period  income
        taxes of $45,000, offset by a decline in non-interest income of $23,000,
        an increase in non-interest expense of $19,000.

        Interest Income

      Total interest income  increased  $183,000 or 9.18%,  for the three months
      ended March 31, 2000 compared to the prior year's  quarter.  This increase
      is chiefly  due to the higher  volume of  interest-earning  assets of $9.5
      million and to a lesser  extent,  to an  increase in the average  yield on
      interest-earning assets of three basis points to 7.34%. Interest income on
      loans  receivable  increased  by $244,000 for the three months ended March
      31, 2000 to $2.0 million and is  attributable  to the higher yield on loan
      receivable which reflects the Company's aggressive lending efforts. During
      the quarter ended March 31, 2000,  the average  yield on loans  receivable
      decreased to 7.61% from 7.81% during the prior year's  quarter.  The yield

                                       10
<PAGE>

        on average loans  receivables has been steadily falling and reflects the
        effects of the lower  long-term  interest rate  environment  experienced
        over the last several years.  Although  interest rates increased  during
        the  latter  half of  1999,  the  average  yield  on  loans  receivables
        continues to fall due primarily to the  lower-yielding  fixed-rate loans
        added to the Bank's  portfolio  during the last several years during the
        middle of 1999.
        Interest Expense.

        Total interest expense  increased  $166,000 or 14%, for the three months
        ended March 31, 2000 compared to the prior year's quarter.  The increase
        was due primarily to an increase of $12.5 million in the average balance
        of both deposits and  borrowings and a seven basis point increase in the
        average  rate paid on  deposits  and  borrowings.  Upward  repricing  on
        certificates  of deposit  accounts  began during the latter half of 1999
        and will  likely  lead to an  increase in the Bank's cost of deposits in
        the near-term.

        Provision for Loan Losses.

        The  determination  of the allowance for loan losses  involves  material
        estimates that are  susceptible to significant  change in the near term.
        The allowance  for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed  adequate
        to  provide  for  losses  through  charges  to  operating  expense.  The
        allowance is based upon past loss  experience and other factors,  which,
        in management's  judgement,  deserve  current  recognition in estimating
        losses.  Such other factors  considered by management include growth and
        composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for
        losses to outstanding loans, and economic conditions.

        A provision  for loan losses of $32,000  was  recorded  during the three
        months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to $32,000 for the same quarter a
        year ago. The  provision  for losses on loans was due to growth in loans
        receivable.  Net  charge-offs  during the  current  quarter  amounted to
        approximately  $5,000 and relate  primarily to credit card  receivables.
        Non-performing  loans at March 31, 2000  amounted to $713,000 or .68% of
        net  loans  receivable  as  compared  to  $929,000  or .88% of net loans
        receivable at December 31, 1999.  The general  allowance for loan losses
        at March 31, 2000 of $578,000 represents 81.05% of non-performing loans.

        The Bank will  continue to review its allowance for loan losses and make
        future  provisions  as  economic  and  regulatory   conditions  dictate.
        Although the Bank  maintains  its  allowance  for loan losses at a level
        that it  considers  adequate  to  provide  for  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 in future
        periods.

                                       11

        Non-Interest Income

        The Company's non-interest income declined during the quarter by $23,000
        to $135,000 from $158,000 in the same quarter last year. The decrease in
        non-interest  is  attributable  in part to an  increase  loss of $19,000
        related to an investment in a low-income  housing  joint  venture.  Loan
        fees and service  charges  declined  by $13,000  during the quarter as a
        result of lower loan origination  activity,  primarily due to the recent
        increase in interest rates.  Also, during the first quarter of 2000, the
        Company sold  available for sale  investment  securities  and recorded a
        loss from the sale of $7,000. These declines in non-interest income were
        offset by an increase in  unrealized  gains on trading  securities.  The
        Company's  trading  portfolio,  which  consists of holdings in community
        bank and thrift  stocks,  reported an  unrealized  gain during the first
        quarter of $17,000 as compared to an unrealized  loss of $4,000 reported
        in the year ago quarter.

        Non-Interest Expense.

        The Company's non-interest expense increased $19,000, to $722,000 in the
        2000 quarter from $703,000 in the prior year's quarter.  The increase is
        attributable  to increases in  compensation  and benefits of $31,000 and
        occupancy  and  equipment  expenses of $8,000.  The increase in staffing
        costs is primarily due to new hirings and increased  benefit costs.  The
        increase  in   occupancy   costs  is  directly   related  to   increased
        depreciation and maintenance charges.

        Provision for Income Taxes.

        The provision  for income taxes  decreased by $45,000 to $43,000 for the
        three  months  ended  March 31, 2000 as compared to $88,000 in the prior
        year's  quarter.  This decrease was  attributable  to the recognition of
        $35,000 in low-income  housing tax credit provided through an investment
        in limited partnership organized to build, own and operate a 56 unit low
        income housing apartment complex.

                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The Company's  principal  sources of funds are  deposits,  proceeds from
        principal  and  interest  payments on loans  (including  mortgage-backed
        securities), sales or maturities of investment securities, advances from
        the FHLB of  Indianapolis  and income from  operations.  While scheduled
        loan  repayments and maturing  investments  are relatively  predictable,
        deposit flows and early loan  repayments are more influenced by interest
        rates,  floors and caps on loan rates,  general economic  conditions and
        competition.  The  primary  business  activity of the  Company,  that of
        making conventional  mortgage loans on residential  housing, is likewise
        affected by economic conditions.

        Current  Office of Thrift  Supervision  regulations  require the Bank to
        maintain cash and eligible investments in an amount equal to at least 4%
        of short-term  customer accounts and borrowings to assure its ability to
        meet demands for  withdrawals  and repayment of  short-term  borrowings.
        Liquid  assets for  purposes of this ratio  include  cash,  certain time
        deposits,  U.S.  Government,  government agency and corporate securities
        and other obligations generally having remaining maturities of less than
        five years. The Bank has historically maintained its liquidity ratio for
        regulatory purposes at levels in excess of those required.  At March 31,
        2000, the Bank's liquidity ratio for regulatory purposes was 12.47%.

        The Company's  most liquid assets are cash and cash  equivalents,  which
        consist  of  interest-bearing  deposits  and  short-term  highly  liquid
        investments with original  maturities of less than three months that are
        readily  convertible  to known  amounts  of cash.  The level of these is
        dependent on the Company's operating, financing and investing activities
        during any given  period.  At March 31, 2000 and  December 31, 1999 cash
        and cash equivalents totaled $7.6 million and $5.5 million respectively.

        Liquidity  management  for the  Company  is both a daily  and  long-term
        function  of  the  Company's  management  strategy.   Excess  funds  are
        generally  invested  in  short-term   investments,   such  as  overnight
        deposits.  If the Company  requires funds beyond its ability to generate
        them internally, additional funds are available through FHLB advances.

        The Company  anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to
        meet current commitments.  At March 31, 2000 the Company has outstanding
        loan  commitments  totaling  $588,000 and unused lines of credit granted
        totaling $4.7 million.

        Federally insured savings  associations,  such as the Bank, are required
        to  maintain  a  minimum  level  of  regulatory  capital.  The  OTS  has
        established  capital  standards,   including  leverage  ratio  (or  core
        capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement  applicable to
        such savings associations.  These capital requirements must be generally
        as stringent as the comparable capital  requirements for national banks.
        The OTS is also  authorized to impose capital  requirements in excess of
        these standards on individual associations on a case-by-case basis.

        At March 31, 2000,  the Bank had core capital equal to $8.3 million,  or
        6.57% of adjusted total assets, which was $4.5 million above the minimum
        leverage  ratio  requirement  of 3% in effect on that date. The Bank had
        total  capital of $8.9 million  (including  $8.3 million in core capital
        and $600,000 in  qualifying  supplementary  capital)  and  risk-weighted
        assets of $69.8 million at March 31, 2000; or total  risk-based  capital
        of 12.68% of  risk-weighted  assets at March 31,  2000.  This amount was
        $3.3 million above the 8% requirement in effect on that date.

                              Non-Performing Assets

               The  following  table sets forth the  amounts and  categories  of
        non-performing  assets in the  Company's  portfolio.  Loans are reviewed
        monthly  and  loan  whose   collectibility  is  doubtful  is  placed  on
        non-accrual  status.   Loans  are  placed  on  non-accrual  status  when
        principal  and  interest  is 90 days or more  past due,  unless,  in the
        judgement  of  management,  the loan is well  collateralized  and in the
        process of collection. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is
        placed  on  non-accrual  status  is  charged  against  interest  income.
        Subsequent  payments  are either  applied to the  outstanding  principal
        balance or recorded as interest  income,  depending on the assessment of
        the ultimate  collectibility  of the loan.  Restructured  loans  include
        troubled  debt  restructuring  (which  involved  forgiving  a portion of
        interest  principal  on any loans or making  loans at a rate  materially
        less than the market).

        For the three months period ended March 31, 2000, gross interest,  which
        would have been  recorded,  had the  non-accruing  loans been current in
        accordance with their original terms amounted to $15,000.

        In addition to the  non-performing  assets set forth in the table above,
        as of March 31,  2000,  there were no loans with  respect to which known
        information  about the possible  credit problems of the borrowers or the
        cash flows of the security  properties  have caused  management  to have
        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.

        Management has considered the Company's  non-performing and "of concern"
        assets in establishing its allowance for loan losses.
