     the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all

     for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period.
     The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the
     entire fiscal year.

2.   Net Income Per Share

     Net income per share is based on net income and the weighted average
     number of shares outstanding during the period.  The dilutive effect of
     outstanding stock options is included in earnings per share.

3.   Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
     of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings
     and Loan Association of Montana ("Association").  Significant
     intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
     consolidation.

Liquidity

The Association's liquidity ratio decreased to 15.34% at June 30, 1996, from
17.50% at March 31, 1996.  The Association is required to maintain cash and
certain investment securities in an amount equal to 5% of its deposit accounts
and short-term borrowings.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan loss reserves was $ 477,000 at June 30, 1996, as
compared to $ 467,000 at March 31, 1996.  The allowance is based upon
management's consideration of current and anticipated economic conditions
which may affect the ability of the borrowers in the loan portfolio to repay
the loans.  Management also reviews individual loans for which full
collectibility may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other
matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral.  The
increase in the allowance for potential loan losses was implemented by
management as a prudent risk-management strategy.  Management does not believe
that any significant changes in portfolio risk have occurred during the three
month period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to March 31, 1996.


               COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
       JUNE 30, 1996 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995


General

Total assets increased by $ 50,000, or .08%, to $ 60,115,000 at June 30, 1996,
from $ 60,065,000 at June 30, 1995.

Total deposits decreased by $ 154,000, or .30%, to $ 51,923,000 at June 30,
1996, from $ 52,077,000 at June 30, 1995.

Net loans decreased by $ 2,530,000, or 6.43%, to $ 36,827,000 at June 30,
1996, from $ 39,357,000 at June 30, 1995.

Investments and mortgage-backed securities increased by $ 3,727,000, or
26.21%, to $ 17,945,000 at June 30, 1996, from $ 14,218,000 at June 30, 1995.

The Corporation's capital increased by $ 1,050,000, or 17.82%, to $ 6,941,000
at June 30, 1996, from $ 5,891,000 at June 30, 1995.

Net Income

29.57%, to $ 149,000, from $ 115,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995.

The increase was primarily due to additional compensation to officers which
was paid during the quarter ended June 30, 1995,


                                   7

based on the financial performance of the Company during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1995, and other factors, however no bonuses were paid during the
corresponding quarter ending June 30, 1996. The Compensation Committee was
unable to meet during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and has not yet made
any recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding any additional
compensation which may be paid, based primarily on the operating results of
the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.  It is expected that any additional
compensation which may be recommended by the Compensation Committee will be
paid during the quarter ending September 30, 1996.

Earnings per share increased by $ .10, or 27.78%, to $ .46 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $ .36 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1995.

Loan fees and service charges decreased by $ 4,000, or 17.39%, to $ 19,000 for
the quarter ending June 30, 1996, from $ 23,000 for the quarter ending June
30, 1995, primarily as a result of the lower volume of refinancing activity
and loan payoffs in 1996 as compared to 1995.

Rental income was $ 34,000 at June 30, 1996, unchanged from the three month
period ending June 30, 1995.

Total other expense decreased by $ 36,000, or 9.00%, to $ 364,000 for the
quarter ending June 30, 1996, from $ 400,000 for the comparable period in
1995, as a result of decreased salary expense and employee benefits and
occupancy expense.

Salary and employee benefit expense decreased by $ 35,000, or 16.75%, to $
174,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $
209,000 for the comparable period last year.

Occupancy expense decreased by $ 9,000, or 16.98%, to $ 44,000 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $ 53,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1995.

Advertising expense was $ 10,000 for the three month period ended June 30,
1996, unchanged from the same period last year.

Outside services expense remained the same at $ 26,000 for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995.

Income tax expense increased by $ 22,000, or 30.14%, to $ 95,000 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $ 73,000 for the same period
last year.

Other expense increased by $ 8,000, or 12.12%, to $ 74,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $ 66,000 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1995.  The increase was due to additional legal and consulting
fees connected with Corporate strategic planning activities, and the cost of
an examination of the holding company by the Office of Thrift Supervision
during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

three month period ending June 30, 1996, from $ 540,000 for the three month
period ending June 30, 1995.

The cost of funds increased by 19 basis points, to 4.75% at June 30, 1996,
from 4.56% at June 30, 1995, which was partially offset as the yield on
earning assets increased by 2 basis points, to 7.76% at June 30, 1996, from
7.74% at June 30, 1995.  As a result, interest spread decreased by 17 basis

ending June 30, 1995.

30, 1996, as compared to $ 11,000 for the three month period ending June 30,
1995.
