NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Lincoln Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was
     incorporated in 1994 at the direction of Lincoln Federal
     Savings Bank (the "Bank") to become the holding company of the
     Bank upon the conversion of the Bank from mutual to stock
     form.  On June 28, 1994, the Bank converted from mutual to
     stock form as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In
     conjunction with the conversion, the Company issued 423,200
     shares of its common stock to the public.  The Company's
     primary assets are the outstanding capital stock of the Bank,
     cash, a note receivable from the Bank, and a note receivable
     from the ESOP, and its sole business is that of the Bank. 
     Accordingly, the financial statements and discussions herein
     include both the Company and the Bank.  

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with
     the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  
     Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
     and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial
     statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
     (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for
     fair presentation have been included.  The results of
     operations and other data for the three and nine month periods
     ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results
     that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June
     30, 1996.

(2)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     For purposes of determining earnings per share for the three
     month and nine month periods ended March 31, 1996, net
     earnings have been divided by the weighted average number of
     shares of common stock issued and  outstanding, and the
     weighted average number of common stock equivalents.  Stock
     options are regarded as common stock equivalents and therefore
     have been included.


Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
          Condition and Results of Operations

Recent Developments -- Acquisition Agreement with First Southern
Bancorp, Inc.

     On March 25, 1996, the Company announced that it had entered
into an agreement with First Southern Bancorp, Inc. (the "First
Southern"), the holding company for five banks in Central Kentucky,
that provides for the acquisition of Lincoln by First Southern. 
The Agreement, as amended, provides for the merger of Lincoln with
a wholly owned subsidiary of First Southern, in which Lincoln
                                        
                                        5

shareholders would receive $22.01 in cash for each of the 436,757
shares of Lincoln common stock currently outstanding.  Directors
and officers of Lincoln would receive $9.51 per share in cash for
the currently outstanding options to purchase 36,922 shares of
Lincoln common stock.  The total value of the transaction is
approximately $9,965,000.  Lincoln also granted First Southern an
option to acquire up to 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Lincoln
in certain circumstances.  The transaction is subject to regulatory
approvals, approval by Lincoln shareholders, and certain other
conditions.  The parties anticipate the transaction will be
completed during the third quarter of 1996.

Financial Condition

     At March 31, 1996, the total assets of the Bank were $51
million, an increase of $2.4 million or 5.0% from June 30, 1995. 
The increase in assets primarily reflects an increase in loans and
deposits from June 30, 1995 to March 31, 1996.

     Cash, due from banks, and overnight deposits increased from
$2.0 million at June 30, 1995 to $3.7 million at March 31, 1996, an
increase of 90% due to the large increase in deposits from June 30,
1995 to March 31, 1996.  Investment securities, securities
available for sale, and mortgage-backed securities were $5.2
million at March 31, 1996, a decrease of $2.8 million from June 30,
1995 or 35.3%.  The decrease resulted from the increased demand in
lending as funds provided by maturing investment securities and
securities available for sale  were used to finance the increase in
loans.

     Loans receivable, net of the provision of loan losses,
increased from $36.9 million at June 30, 1995 to $40.5 million at
March 31, 1996, an increase of $3.6 million or 9.7%. The increase 
primarily resulted from greater loan demand from consumers
attributable to stable interest rates charged during the quarter
and the possibility of  higher rates in the future.

     At March 31, 1996, total non-performing loans and other non-performing 
assets amounted to $283,000 and $0, respectively, as compared to $79,000 
and $68,000, respectively, at June 30, 1995. The increase of $204,000 or 
258% is due to the increased number of delinquent loans.  Potential problem 
loans at March  31, 1996 amounted to $1.2 million as compared to $1.1 
million at June 30, 1995.  Potential problem loans increased $0.1 million 
during the nine months ended March 31, 1996, due to the addition of several
loans that are consistently late.  During the three and nine months
ended March 31, 1996, the Bank's provision for loan loss was $0 and
$11,000, respectively,  and at March 31, 1996, its allowance for
loan losses was $260,000 as compared to $264,000 at June 30, 1995,
and represented 92% of total non-performing loans at March 31, 1996.

     Deposits increased from $40.4 million at June 30, 1995 to
$42.4 million at March 31, 1996, an  increase of $2.0 million or
4.8%.  Management believes that this increase is primarily due to
the Bank's pricing of interest rates payable on its deposits to be
competitive with its market area.

Results of Operations

     Net Income.  Net income for the three months ended March 31,
1996 increased $27,000, or 31.8%, to $112,000 from $85,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995.  The increase was primarily
attributable to  the steady increase in net interest income earned
by the Bank on its adjustable rate mortgage loans, which exceeded
the increase in the interest rates paid on the Bank's deposits.

     Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, decreased
$74,000, or 22.3%, to $252,000 from $326,000  for the nine months
ended March 31, 1995.  Such decrease was primarily attributable to
an increase in interest expense, an increase in provision for loan
losses, a general increase in salary and employee benefits, which
include the accruals for the ESOP and MRP, an increase in other
operating expenses due to consultation fees as a public company,
and offset in part by an increase in interest income.

     Net Interest Income.  Net interest income for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 was $446,000, an increase of $66,000 or 17.4%
as compared to $380,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  This 
increase  was due primarily to the steady increase in net interest
income earned by the Bank on its adjustable rate mortgage loans,
which exceeded the increase in the interest rates paid on the
Bank's deposits. The net yield on interest-earning assets increased
to 2.84% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, from 2.48% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, while the ratio of average interest-earning 
assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 112.8% 
to 114.5% for the same respective periods.

     Net interest income increased by $65,000 for the  nine months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to the nine months ended March 31,
1995.  This increase was also due primarily to the steady increase
in net interest income earned by the Bank on its adjustable rate
mortgage loans that exceeded the increase in the interest rates
paid on deposits.  The net  yield on interest-earning assets
decreased to 2.73% for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996,
from 2.78% for the nine month period ended March 31, 1995, due to
the Bank's use of maturing investment securities and proceeds from
the sale of securities available for sale to fund increased loan
demand, and due to an increase in rates offered on certificates of
deposit to reduce the outflow of deposits.  The ratio of average
interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities
increased to 113.2% from 112.1% for the same respective periods.
The effect on net interest income of such decrease in net yield was
more than offset by the increase in the ratio of interest-earning
assets to interest-bearing liabilities during the same period. 

     Interest Income. Interest income for the quarter ended March
31, 1996, was $973,000, an increase of $163,000 or 20.1% as
compared to $810,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The
increase resulted primarily from a 80 basis point increase in the
average yield on interest-bearing assets, from 7.02% during the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 to 7.82% during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996. The increase in average yield reflects the $3.6
million or 9.7% increase in net loans receivable during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
1995.
                                        7
<PAGE>
     Interest income for the nine month period ended March 31,
1996, was $2,845,000, an increase of $427,000 or 17.8% as compared
to $2,418,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 1995.  The
increase in interest income resulted primarily from a 89 basis
point increase in the average yield on interest-bearing assets, 
from 6.81% for the nine month period ended March 31, 1995 to 7.70%
for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996.

     Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased from $0.4
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $0.5 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, reflecting the increase in the
Bank's deposit rates to maintain deposit accounts and to be more
competitive with the other banks in the area.  The average cost of
deposits increased by 44 basis points from 4.54% for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 to 4.98% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

     Interest expense increased from $1.2 million for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1995 to $1.6 million for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1996. The increase of $0.4 million
reflects the increase in the deposit rates paid in order to
maintain deposit accounts.  The average cost of deposits increased
by 94 basis points from 4.03% for the nine month period ended March
31, 1995 to 4.97% for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996.


     Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 1996 was $0 and $11,000,
respectively, as compared to $0 and $3,000, respectively, for the
same three and nine month period in 1995.  The increase in the
provision of $8,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 is
primarily due to reflect the current level of the Bank's allowance
for loan losses.  Charge-offs during the three and nine months
ended were $0 and $14,000 respectively.  Further, the Bank's total
allowance for loan losses was $260,000 at March 31, 1996 as
compared to $263,000 at March 31, 1995. Classified assets at March
31, 1996 increased to $1,148,000, an increase of $106,000 or 10.2%,
as compared to $1,042,000 at March 31, 1995 due to the addition of
several loans that are classified as scheduled items. In
determining its provision for loan losses, management considers
various factors, including the current level of the allowance for
loan losses as compared to the total non-performing loans, the
assessment of the risk inherent in the potential problem loans
identified as of March 31, 1996, and the overall composition of its
loan portfolio. Therefore, no provision was made during this
quarter.

     Non-interest Income.  Non-interest income for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995 was $41,000.  These
accounts reflect NOW account fee charges, life insurance commission
revenues, and fees earned from premature redemption of certificates
of deposits.

     Non-interest income increased to $116,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $104,000 for the same period in
1995.  The increase of $12,000 was primarily due to increases in
NOW account fee charges, life insurance commission revenues, and
premature redemption of certificates of deposits.

<PAGE>     
     Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 was $317,000, an increase of $23,000 or 7.8%
as compared to  $294,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The
increase was due primarily to a $35,000 increase in salaries and
the accruals for the ESOP and MRP plans, a $3,000 increase in data
processing expense, offset by a decrease of $15,000 in other
operating expenses.

     Non-interest expense increased by $138,000 or 16.1%, to
$996,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 from $858,000 for
the same period in 1995.  Such increase was due primarily to a
$114,000 increase in salaries and the accruals for the ESOP and MRP
plans, an $8,000 increase in advertising, the addition of the
accruals for the Directors Retirement Plan of $5,000,  and a
$11,000 increase in other operating expenses due to increased
professional fees incurred in connection with the proposed merger
transaction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Bank's primary source of funds are deposits and principal
and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization
of loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities are
predicable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed 
securities prepayments are strongly influenced by changes in general 
interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

     The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents
and short-term investments. The levels of the Bank's cash and cash
equivalents are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing,
lending and investing activities during any given period. At March
31, 1996, the Bank's cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.7 million
compared to $2.0 million at June 30, 1995. The increase in cash and
cash equivalents was due primarily to the Bank's pricing of its
deposits to reflect the range of those offered in it market area,
and due to investment securities held to maturity and securities
available for sale maturing and the proceeds disbursed to the Bank
and Company.

     The Bank is required by federal regulations to maintain
specified levels of "liquid" assets consisting of cash and other
eligible investments. At March 31, 1996, the Bank's liquidity ratio
of 17.90% satisfied these requirements.  At March 31, 1996, the
Bank exceeded all fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements.
The table below presents certain information relating to the Bank's
capital compliance at March 31, 1996 and June 30, 1995.
