PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

        The  Registrant  is  not  involved  in  any  pending  legal  proceedings
involving amounts in the aggregate which management believes are material to the
financial condition and results of operations of the Registrant.  On October 16,
1996, the Bank was informed that it will be named as a party to a lawsuit in the
near future involving a commercial loan that first appeared on the Watch List on
September  30, 1996.  The lawsuit will start  replevin  proceedings  against the
Bank's  borrower  and  will  involve  several  parties  claiming   interests  in
collateral secured by the Bank's General Business Security Agreement. The Bank's
legal counsel  believes the Bank should have sufficient  legal grounds to expect
recovery from the Bank's collateral,  personal guarantees, and the other parties
involved.  The Board of  Directors  at its meeting  October 8, 1996,  decided to
establish  an increased  quarterly  loss  allowance  until more  information  is
available  to make a reasonable  estimate of any losses that may occur.  At this
writing,  the summons and complaint has not been served and information  such as
appraisals,  personal financial statements, etc. is being assembled.  Management
believes  potential  losses  could be material to the  financial  condition  and
results of  operations  of the Bank. In order to establish an order of magnitude
of the  loss  potential,  a worst  case  scenario  of no  recovery  on a loan of
$525,000  plus an overdraft of $83,000 less the current  excess in the loan loss
reserve of $259,000,  would produce an after-tax loss of approximately $209,000.
This amount would be approximately  equal to the earnings for one quarter of the
current fiscal year.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF
                             NORTHWEST EQUITY CORP.

Comparison  of Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended  September 30, 1995
and September 30, 1996

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996,  decreased $217,000 or
94.8% to $12,000  compared to $229,000 for the three months ended  September 30,
1995.  The  decrease  in net income  was  primarily  due to a one time  $350,000
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  (FDIC) Special  Assessment for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. The charge stems from recent  legislation  that
recapitalizes  the FDIC fund  insuring  deposits  in  savings  institutions.  In
exchange for this one-time  assessment,  the future premiums paid to the Savings
Association  Fund (SAIF) will be reduced by about 70 percent,  to 6.4 cents from
23 cents  per $100 of  deposits.  The  charge  will be more  than  offset by the
reduction in future premiums (See Current  Developments  Section).  Salaries and
employee  benefits  increased  $91,000 from  $225,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995,  to $316,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1996.
The increase  reflects $70,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, in
expense from  accounting  for the Company's  stock  incentive plan that requires
under  applicable  accounting  standards  that 61.1% of the  three-year  cost be
amortized in the first year. The accounting for this expense did not begin until
the  approval  of the  Company's  stock  incentive  plan in  October  1995;  and
therefore no expense was taken for the three months  ended  September  30, 1995.
This increase in expense was  partially  offset by an increase of $77,000 in net
interest  income from $781,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to
$858,000  for the three  months ended  September  30,  1996,  and an increase of
$4,000 in total other income from $137,000 for the three months ended  September
30, 1995, to $141,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996

Net Interest Income

Net interest  income  increased  by $77,000  from  $781,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1995, to $858,000 for the three months ended  September 30,
1996.  Interest income  increased  $272,000 to $1.9 million for the three months
ended  September  30, 1996,  compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended
September  30, 1995,  while  interest  expense  increased  only $195,000 to $1.0
million for the three months ended  September  30, 1996,  from  $815,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995

Interest Income

Interest income increased $272,000 or 17.0% to $1.9 million for the three months
ended  September  30, 1996,  compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995. Of the increase, $200,000 was due to an increase in interest
and fees on loans to to $1.7 million for the three months  ended  September  30,
1996,  compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended  September  30, 1995.
This  increase  was due to the  increase in the average  outstanding  balance of
total loans to $75.8  million for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996,
compared to $64.6  million for the three months ended  September  30, 1995.  The
increase in total loans reflects the general increase in mortgage interest rates
over the  comparable  periods  that  encouraged  the  bank's  customers  to seek
adjustable rate loans that are held in house as opposed to fixed-rate loans that
are sold on the secondary  market.  The remaining  increase was due to a $71,000
increase in interest on  mortgage-backed  and related securities to $142,000 for
the three months  ended  September  30, 1996,  from $71,000 for the three months
ended  September  30, 1995.  This increase was due to an increase in the average
outstanding  balance of mortgage backed and related securities from $4.5 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to an average outstanding balance
of $7.8 million for the three months ended  September 30, 1996. The increase was
the result of the purchase of $2.8 million

of additional  securities to meet  increased  Wisconsin  Department of Financial
Institutions liquidity requirements. Interest on investments increased $1,000 to
$53,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1996,  compared to $52,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  increased  $195,000  or 23.9% to $1.0  million  for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $815,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995. Interest on savings increased $87,000 or 13.5% from $645,000
for the three months ended  September 30, 1995, to $732,000 for the three months
ended  September  30,  1996.  The  increase  reflects an increase in the average
outstanding  balances of total  deposits to $60.4  million for the three  months
ended September 30, 1996, from an average  outstanding  balance of $53.4 million
for the three months ended  September  30, 1995,  and an increase in rates paid.
Interest on borrowings  increased  $108,000 or 63.5% from $170,000 for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1995,  to  $278,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1996. The increase reflects an increase in the average outstanding
balance of advances and other borrowings from $10.2 million for the three months
ended  September 30, 1995, to 19.9 $million for the three months ended September
30, 1996.  The increase in advances  and other  borrowings  was used to fund the
increase in assets between the periods.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses increased  $19,000 to $25,000 for the three months
ended  September  30,  1996,  compared  to  $6,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1995. The increase reflects the Board of Directors' recognition of
a commercial  loan that appeared on the  September 30, 1996,  watch list for the
first time. Unable to make an informed estimate of the loss potential, the Board
decided  to  establish  an  increased   quarterly  loss  allowance   until  more
information  is available  to make a reasonable  estimate of any losses that may
occur (See Part II, Item 1, Legal  Proceedings).  The  allowance for loan losses
totaled  $447,000 at September  30, 1996,  compared to $443,000 at September 30,
1995,  and  represented  0.58% and 0.71% of gross loans and 46.0% and 106.30% of
non-performing  loans,  respectively.  When  compared to the  allowance for loan
losses calculation that is based on a three year actual loss average,  the Board
of Directors  believes the allowance for loan losses is at an adequate  level to
provide for  potential  loan losses and that future  provisions  for loan losses
will be at levels necessary to cover only  charge-offs and general  increases in
gross  loans.  The  non-performing  assets  to total  assets  ratio was 1.20% at
September 30, 1996, compared to 1.07% at September 30, 1995.

Other Income

Total other  income  increased  2.9% or $4,000 to $141,000  for the three months
ended  September  30,  1996,  compared to $137,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1995. The increase  includes a $5,000  increase in gain on sale of
mortgage  loans to  $15,000  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996,
compared, to $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995. Other income
increased  $2,000 from $51,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to
$53,000 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996.  Service  charges on
deposits  decreased  $5,000 to $54,000 for the three months ended  September 30,
1996, compared, to $59,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative  expenses increased $448,000 or 88.5% to $954,000 for
the three months ended  September  30, 1996,  compared to $506,000 for the three
months ended  September  30, 1995.  Salaries  and  employee  benefits  increased
$91,000 from $225,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to $316,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase reflects $70,000 for
the three months ended  September 30, 1996, in expense from  accounting  for the
Company's  stock  incentive  plan  that  requires  under  applicable  accounting
standards that 61.1% of the three-year cost be amortized in the first year.  The

accounting  for  this  expense  did  not  begin  until  the  approval  of  the
Company's  stock  incentive  plan in October 1995;  and therefore no expense was
taken for the three  months ended  September  30, 1995.  Net  occupancy  expense
increased  $4,000 from $63,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, to
$67,000  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  and  reflects  the
completion  of an addition and  remodeling  project to the New  Richmond  office
location.  Other  expenses  increased  $6,000 from $152,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1995, to $158,000 for the three months ended  September 30,
1996.  Federal insurance  premiums increased $352,000 from $31,000 for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1995,  to  $383,000  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1996.  The increase is due to one-time  $350,000  Federal  Deposit
Insurance  Corporation  (FDIC)  Special  Assessment  for the three  months ended
September 30, 1996. The charge stems from recent  legislation that recapitalizes
the FDIC fund insuring  deposits in savings  institutions.  In exchange for this
one-time  assessment,  the future premiums paid to the Savings  Association Fund
(SAIF) will be reduced by about 70 percent,  to 6.4 cents from 23 cents per $100
of  deposits.  The charge  will be more than offset by the  reduction  in future
premiums (See Current Developments Section).
Income Tax Expense

Income tax  expense  decreased  $169,000  or 95.5% from  $177,000  for the three
months ended  September 30, 1995, to $8,000 for the three months ended September
30,  1996.  The  decrease  in income tax  expense  is the  direct  result of the
decrease in income  before taxes of $386,000  from $406,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1995,  to $20,000 for the three months ended  September 30,
1996. The effective tax rate for the three months ended  September 30, 1996, was
40.0% compared to 43.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1995.


Comparison of Operating  Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 1995 and

Net Income

Net income for the six months ended  September 30, 1996,  decreased  $228,000 or
49.2% to $235,000  compared to $463,000 for the six months ended  September  30,
1995.  The  decrease  in net income  was  primarily  due to a one time  $350,000
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  (FDIC) Special  Assessment for the three
months ended September 30, 1996. The charge stems from recent  legislation  that
recapitalizes  the FDIC fund  insuring  deposits  in  savings  institutions.  In
exchange for this one-time  assessment,  the future premiums paid to the Savings
Association  Fund (SAIF) will be reduced by about 70 percent,  to 6.4 cents from
23 cents  per $100 of  deposits.  The  charge  will be more  than  offset by the
reduction in future premiums (See Current  Developments  Section).  Salaries and
employee  benefits  increased  $167,000  from  $456,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1995, to $623,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1996. The
increase  reflects  $140,000 for the six months  ended  September  30, 1996,  in
expense from  accounting  for the Company's  stock  incentive plan that requires
under  applicable  accounting  standards  that 61.1% of the  three-year  cost be
amortized in the first year. The accounting for this expense did not begin until
the  approval  of the  Company's  stock  incentive  plan in  October  1995;  and
therefore no expense was taken for the six months ended September 30, 1995. This
increase  in expense  was  partially  offset by an  increase  of $145,000 in net
interest  income from $1.5 million for the six months ended  September 30, 1995,
to $1.7 million for the six months ended  September 30, 1996, and an increase of
$32,000 in total other income from  $249,000 for the six months ended  September
30, 1995, to $281,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1996

Net Interest Income

Net interest  income  increased by $145,000 from $1.5 million for the six months
ended September 30, 1995, to $1,7 million for the six months ended September 30,
1996.  Interest  income  increased  $605,000 to $3.7  million for the six months
ended  September  30,  1996,  compared to $3.1  million for the six months ended
September  30, 1995,  while  interest  expense  increased  only $460,000 to $2.0
million for the six months ended  September 30, 1996,  from $1.5 million for the
six months ended  September 30, 1995.  The  improvement  in net interest  income
primarily   reflects  an  increase  in  the  average   outstanding   balance  of
interest-earning  assets of $15.7  million from $70.4 million for the six months
ended  September  30, 1995,  compared to $86.1  million for the six months ended
September 30, 1996.

Interest Income

Interest income  increased  $605,000 or 19.5% to $3.7 million for the six months
ended  September  30,  1996,  compared to $3.1  million for the six months ended
September 30, 1995. Of the increase, $445,000 was due to an increase in interest
and fees on loans to $3.3 million for the six months ended  September  30, 1996,
compared to $2.8  million for the six months  ended  September  30,  1995.  This
increase  was due to the  increase in the average  outstanding  balance of total
loans to $74.1million  for the six months ended September 30, 1996,  compared to
$62.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in total
loans  reflects  the  general  increase  in  mortgage  interest  rates  over the
comparable  periods that encouraged the bank's customers to seek adjustable rate
loans that are held in house as opposed to fixed-rate loans that are sold on the
secondary  market.  The  remaining  increase  was  primarily  due to a  $149,000
increase in interest on  mortgage-backed  and related securities to $282,000 for
the six months ended  September 30, 1996, from $133,000 for the six months ended
September  30,  1995.  This  increase  was  due to an  increase  in the  average
outstanding  balance of mortgage backed and related securities from $4.0 million
for the six months  ended  September  30,  1995,  to an average  balance of $7.8
million for the six months  ended  September  30,  1996.  This  increase was the
result  of the  purchase  of  $2.8  million  of  additional  securities  to meet
increased Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions liquidity requirements.
Interest on investments  increased  $11,000 to $117,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1996,  compared to $106,000 for the six months ended September 30,
1995,  as a  result  of an  increase  in the  average  outstanding  balances  of
interest-bearing  deposits in other financial institutions,  securities held for
sale,  and  Federal  Home Loan Bank stock from $3.9  million  for the six months
ended September 30, l995, to $4.2 million for the six months ended September 30,
1996.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased  $460,000 or 30.7% to $2.0 million for the six months
ended  September  30,  1996,  compared to $1.5  million for the six months ended
September 30, 1995.  Interest on savings  increased  $188,000 or 15.7% from $1.2
million for the six months ended September 30, 1995, to $1.5 million for the six
months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The  increase  reflects an increase in the
average  outstanding  balance of total  deposits  to $61.0  million  for the six
months ended  September 30, 1996,  from an average  balance of $52.7 million for
the six months  ended  September  30,  1995.  Interest on  borrowings  increased
$272,000 or 96.1% from $283,000 for the six months ended  September 30, 1995, to
$555,000 for the six months ended  September 30, 1996. The increase  reflects an
increase in average  outstanding  balance of advances and other  borrowings from
$8.7 million for the six months ended  September  30, 1995, to $19.4 million for
the six months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The increase in advances and other
borrowings was used to fund the increase in assets between the periods.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased  $159,000 or 48.0% from $331,000 for the six months
ended  September  30, 1995,  to $172,000 for the six months ended  September 30,
1996.  The decrease in income tax expense is the direct  result of a decrease in
income before taxes of $387,000 from $794,000 for the six months ended September
30, 1995, to $407,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1996. The effective
tax rate for the six months  ended  September  30, 1996,  was 42.3%  compared to
41.7% for the six months ended September 30, 1995.


Financial Condition

Total assets  increased  $9.1 million or 10.5% to $95.5 million at September 30,
1996, compared to $86.4 million at March 31, 1996. The increase is a result of a
$6.5  million  or 9.3%  increase  in loans  receivable-net  to $76.5  million at
September 30, 1996, compared to $70.0 million at March 31, 1996. The increase in
loans  receivable-net  was the result of the expected  seasonal increase of loan
activity during the spring and summer months.  Cash increased $147,000 from $3.4
million at March 31, 1995,  to $3.6 million at  September  30, 1996.  Securities
available  for sale  decreased  $105,000 from $2.9 million at March 31, 1996, to
$2.8  million at  September  30,  1996,  as the result of the  reduction  in the
balance in money market mutual  funds.  Mortgage  backed and related  securities
increased  $2.4 million from $5.4 million on March 31, 1996,  to $7.8 million at
September  30,  1996,  as the net result of the  purchase of an $2.8  million of
additional  securities  The  additional  securities  were  purchased  to meet an
increase in the liquidity  requirement  imposed by the  Wisconsin  Department of
Financial Institutions from 5% to 8% of selected liabilities.

Savings accounts increased $5.2 million from $57.3 million at March 31, 1996, to
$62.5 million at September 30, 1996.  The increase in savings  accounts was used
to fund the increase in loans receivable.  Outstanding advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank  increased  $3.6 million from $12.6 million at March 31, 1996, to
$16.2 million at September  30, 1996. Of the increase,  $2.8 million in advances
were used to fund the  purchase of the  additional  mortgage  backed and related
securities  required by the increase in the  Wisconsin  Department  of Financial
Institution's liquidity requirement. The remaining $0.8 million was used to fund
a portion of the increase in loans receivable.

Shareholders  Equity decreased $285,000 from $11.9 million at March 31, 1996, to
$11.6 million at September  30, 1996.  The decrease is due to the purchase of an
additional  $544,000 in treasury  stock that changed the treasury  stock balance
from ($0.6  million) at March 31, 1996, to ($1.1 million) at September 30, 1996.
This  decrease is offset by the  amortization  of the  unearned  Employee  Stock
Ownership  Plan  compensation  of $69,000 from  ($699,000)  on March 31, 1996 to
($630,000) on September 30, 1996; the  amortization  of the unearned  restricted
stock plan award of $141,000 from ($319,000) at March 31, 1996, to ($178,000) at
September 30, 1996; an increase in the net  unrealized  loss on securities  held
for sale of $7,000 from  ($34,000)  at March 31, 1996 to  ($27,000) at September
30, 1996; and the increase of $42,000 in retained earnings from $5.86 million at
March 31, 1996, to $5.90 million at September 30, 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONT.)

Current Developments

        Deposits of the Bank  currently are insured to applicable  limits by the
FDIC  under the  Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF").  The FDIC also
insures commercial bank deposits under the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").  Premium
levels were set for each fund to facilitate  the fund  achieving its  designated
reserve  ratio.  As the  funds  reach  their  designated  ratios,  the  FDIC has
authority to lower fund premium  assessments to rates sufficient to maintain the
designated reserve ratio. In May 1995, the BIF achieved its designated ratio and
the FDIC  lowered  BIF  premium  rates  for most  BIF-insured  institutions.  In
November  1995,  the FDIC  reduced  assessment  rates by four  cents per $100 of
deposits for all institutions, producing a premium rate schedule ranging from 0%
(i.e.  whereby such institutions will be subject only to a $2,000 minimum annual
premium) to 0.27% of deposits depending on the institution's  risk-based premium
category.  Based on these  assessment  rate  modifications,  the majority of BIF
members paid only a $2,000 minimum annual  premium and,  therefore,  BIF-insured
institutions paid, on average, 0.43 cents per $100 of deposits. The SAIF had not
achieved its designated  reserve ratio and was not anticipated to do so prior to
the year 2001. Therefore,  SAIF premium rates for SAIF-insured members continued
to be set at an average of 23.7 cents per $100 of  deposits.  As a result of the
new  assessment  rate  provisions,  SAIF  member  institutions  were placed at a
competitive  disadvantage based on higher deposit insurance premium On September
30, 1996,  President  Clinton signed banking  legislation to resolve the deposit
insurance  premium  disparity.  The  banking  package  also  included  extensive
regulatory  relief for banks and  thrifts.  The  BIF-SAIF  package  contains the
following core elements for resolving the deposit premium disparity:
        Special Assessment.  A one-time special assessment on SAIF deposits will
be imposed to bring the fund's reserve ration to the statutory 1.25 percent. The
assessment rate will be approximately  65.7 basis points on deposits as of March
31, 1995. The bill  clarifies that the special  assessment is deductible for tax
purposes in the year paid.  The special  assessment  amounted to $350,000 to the
Bank and is reflected in the current financial data reported as of September 30,
1996.

        FICO Sharing.  Pro-rata sharing of the Financing Corporation  obligation
among  BIF-SAIF  members  will begin by January l,  2000.  This  obligation  was
previously paid by only SAIF members.  SAIF members will have paid the full $780
million  amount of the FICO  obligation  for this year.  From 1997 through 1999,
partial  sharing will occur,  with SAIF deposits  assessed 6.44 basis points and
BIF deposits 1.29 basis points.

        SAIF and BIF Rates.  Through  December 31, 1998, the assessment rate for
SAIF deposits cannot be lower than the rate for BIF deposits.

        Reserve  Ration,  Rebates  The  FDIC  is  prohibited  from  setting  the
semiannual  assessment  at a rate in excess of what's needed to maintain or meet
the required reserve ratio. Until the funds are merged, the FDIC is permitted to
rebate or credit excess premiums to BIF members only.

        Deposit Migration For a three-year  period,  the banking  regulators are
authorized  to  prevent   SAIF-insured   institutions   from   "facilitating  or
encouraging" customers to shift their deposits to BIF-insured affiliates for the
purpose of evading the SAIF premium.

        Funds Merger.  The BIF and SAIF  insurance  funds will merge to form the
Deposit Insurance Fund on January 1, 1999, if there are no savings  associations
(not  including  state savings  banks) in existence on that date. The statute is
silent on when, how or if rechartering will occur.

        Timetable.  Pro-rata  FICO  sharing  will  begin and the ban on  deposit
shifting  will end on the earlier of January 1, 2000,  or when the last  savings
association ceases to exist.

        Charter  Reform.  The  Treasury  Department  is  directed  to  report to
Congress by March 31, 1997,  with its  recommendations  on a common  charter for
banks and savings institutions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONT.)

BIF-SAIF RECAPITALIZATION ANALYSIS

Assuming the Bank's deposits to be approximately $60 million:

    The added cost in 1996 is

              $350,000 special assessment provided for as of September 30, 1996.
       less     l8,000 in fourth quarter refund in 1996
              $332,000 in added premium for 1996

        Premium Savings in Future Years

        Assume that the present SAIF premium  schedule  would  recapitalize  the
SAIF in 2003.  At that point the lowest "pure FICO" SAIF  premium  would drop to
only 16 basis points. Thereafter, the SAIF premium would stay at 16 basis points
until 2017 when the FICO bonds begin to mature, and SAIF premiums can decline to
the same level as BIF premiums.  (All this  analysis  presumes that the current,
essentially  zero, loss rate for both BIF and SAIF continues,  or  alternatively
that BIF and SAIF rates are equal over time.)
This establishes the SAIF rates without the new law.

        Under the new law, SAIF  premiums will 6.4 basis points for 1997,  1998,
and 1999.  Then pro rata FICO  sharing  begins.  The premium is 2.4 basis points
until 2017, when the FICO bonds begin to mature.

        For approximately $60 million of deposits,  the annual savings from 1997
onwards are:

        $100,000 for 6 years   =      $  600,000
        $ 82,000 for 15 years  =      $1,230,000
        $ 33,000 for 1 year    =      $   33,000
        $  9,000 for 1 year    =      $    9,000
                                    -------------
                      Total Savings   $1,872,000

        Thus,  the  undiscounted  savings  are over five times  larger  than the
up-front cost. The pay-back period is under four years. On a more  sophisticated
present value basis, if the recapitalization  payment is viewed as an investment
and the return as the lower  stream of  premium  payments,  the annual  yield or
internal  rate of return is almost  exactly 25%.  (Source:  America's  Community
Bankers) The present  value of the lower  stream of premiums  using a 10% annual
interest rate assumption would be approximately $792,000 compared to the present
cost of  $332,000.  This  presentation  assumes  that the SAIF fund  would  have
remained  viable  over that 23 year  time  period  and its  members  would  have
accepted the premium  disparity and not have  developed ways to exit the fund to
avoid payment.

FDI Act

        Under the FDI Act,  insurance of deposits may be  terminated by the FDIC
upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound  practices,
is in an unsafe or unsound  condition  operations or has violated any applicable
law, regulation,  rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC or the Department
of Financial Institutions. Management of the Bank does not know of any practice,
condition or violation that might lead to the termination of deposit insurance.

        On October 5, 1994,  the FDIC  issued an  "Advanced  Notice of  Proposed
Rulemaking"  pursuant  to which the FDIC is  soliciting  comments on whether the
deposit-insurance   assessment  base  currently   provided  for  in  the  FDIC's
assessment regulations should be redefined. As a result of the recent transition
to a  risk-based  deposit  insurance  system,  effective  January 1,  1994,  the
assessment  base,  which  had  been  determined  by  statute  pursuant to  the 
FDI  Act,  is  now  determined  by  the FDIC  by  regulation.   At present,

                                       15

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONT.)

however,  the FDIC's  assessment base  regulations  continue to be based on the
statutory  provisions under the FDI Act. Under current law,  insurance  premiums
paid to the FDIC are calculated by multiplying the institution's assessment base
(which equals total domestic deposits,  as adjusted for certain elements) by its
assessment rate.

        Considering the change to the new deposit insurance system, developments
in the  financial  services  industry,  changes in the  activities of depository
institutions  and  other  factors,  the  FDIC  seeks  comments  on  whether  the
assessment  base  should be  redefined.  The FDIC has stated  that review of the
definition of "assessment  base" does not signal any intent to enhance the total
dollar amount of assessments  collected,  but that such  redefinition may impact
the  assessments  paid  on  an  institution-by-institution  basis.  Until  final
regulations are adopted affecting the definition of an institution's  assessment
base,  the Bank cannot  predict  what impact  such  regulation  may have on Bank
operations.

Asset/Liability Management

Asset/liability management is an ongoing process of matching asset and liability
maturities  to reduce  interest rate risk.  Management  attempts to control this
risk through pricing of assets and  liabilities and maintaining  specific levels
of maturities.  In recent  periods,  management's  strategy has been to (1) sell
substantially  all new  originations  of  long-term,  fixed-rate  single  family
mortgage loans in the secondary  market,  (2) invest in various  adjustable-rate
and  short-term   mortgage-backed   and  related   securities,   (3)  invest  in
adjustable-rate,  single family  mortgage  loans,  and (4) encourage  medium and
longer-term certificates of deposit. The Company's estimated cumulative one-year
gap  between assets and  liabilities  was a  negative 9.6% of total  assets,  at
September  30,  1996.  A negative  gap occurs  when a greater  dollar  amount of
interest-earning  liabilities  than  interest-bearing  assets are  repricing  or
maturing during a given time period. The Bank's three-year  cumulative gap as of
September 30, 1996, was a negative  11.0%.  During  periods of  rising  interest
rates, a negative interest rate sensitivity gap will tend to negatively affect 
net interest  income.  During  periods  of  falling  interest rates, a negative
interest  rate  sensitivity  gap will tend to postively affect the net interest
income.

Management believes that its asset/liability  management strategies have reduced
the potential effects of changes in interest rates on its operations.  Increases
in interest  rates may  increase net interest  income  because  interest-earning
assets  will  reprice  more  quickly  than  interest-bearing   liabilities.  The
Company's  analysis of the  maturity  and  repricing  of assets and  liabilities
incorporates  certain assumptions  concerning the amortization and prepayment of
such assets and liabilities.

Management  believes that these  assumptions  approximate  actual experience and
considers them  reasonable,  although the actual  amortization  and repayment of
assets and liabilities may vary substantially.


Management Strategy

Asset Quality

The Company  emphasizes high asset quality in both its investment  portfolio and
lending activities.  Non-performing assets have ranged between 0.54% and 2.1% of
total assets  during the last five fiscal years and were 1.0% of total assets at
September 30, 1996. Cumulative gross charge-offs over the last five fiscal years
of $464,000 were due primarily to commercial loans made in the mid-1980s.  As of
September 30, 1996,  the Board of Directors  increased  the quarterly  loan loss
provision  $19,000 to $25,000 the three months ended  September  30, 1996,  from
$6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase reflects the Board
of Directors'  recognition  of a commercial  loan that appeared on the September
30, 1996, watch list for the first time.  Unable to make an informed estimate of
the loss potential, the Board decided to

                                       16
<PAGE>


 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONT.)

establish  an increased  quarterly  loss  allowance  until more  information  is
available to make a  reasonable  estimate of any losses that may occur (See Part
II,  Item 1, Legal  Proceedings).  The  Company's  allowance  for loan losses at
September 30, 1996,  totaled $447,000 or 96.3% of cumulative  gross  charge-offs
during the last five fiscal years.  Management  currently believes the allowance
for loan losses at September 30, 1996,  is at an adequate  level and that future
provisions for loan losses will be at levels necessary only to cover charge-offs
and general increases in gross loans.

        Total  non-performing loans increased from 30 loans totaling $738,000 at
September 30, 1995, to 54 loans totaling  $972,000 at September 30, 1996.  Total
non-performing assets increased from 32 items totaling $859,000 at September 30,
1995,  to 60 items  totaling  $1,150,00  at  September  30,  1996.  Total  loans
delinquent 31--89 days increased from 64 loans totaling $1.1 million to 81 loans
totaling  $1.8  million.  The  increase  in the  number of  delinquent  loans is
concentrated  in the  consumer  loan  department.  Deliquencies  were created by
certain  deficiencies  in  dealer  loan  policies  that  subsequently  have been
revised.

Management  views the increase as a major area of concern  warranting  increased
scrutiny.  However,  the latest available peer group comparison of nonperforming
loans and real estate owned as a percentage of total

loans as prepared by America's Community Bankers at December 31, 1995, was 1.60%
of  total  loans  on  a  nation  wide  basis  and  0.86%  on a  regional  basis.
Nonperforming loans and real estate owned as a percentage of total loans for the
Company was 1.26% at  September  30, 1996,  compared to 1.11% at  September  30,
1995. As a percentage  of assets,  non-performing  assets  increased to 1.20% at
September 30, 1996, compared to 1.07% at September 30, 1995.
