                      FSF FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three
         and nine month periods ended June 30, 1998, include the accounts of FSF
         Financial Corp. ("the  Corporation") and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
         Insurance Planners of Hutchinson,  Inc. ("Insurance  Planners"),  First
         Federal  fsb  (the  "Bank")  and  Firstate  Services,  a  wholly  owned
         subsidiary  of  the  Bank.  The  Corporation's  business  is  conducted
         principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and
         transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  were
         prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and,  therefore,
         do not  include  information  or  footnotes  necessary  for a  complete
         presentation   of   consolidated   financial   condition,   results  of
         operations,  and  cash  flows in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
         accounting principles.  However, all adjustments,  consisting of normal
         recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management,  are necessary
         for fair  presentation of the  consolidated  financial  statements have
         been included.  The results of operations for the period ended June 30,
         1998,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  which  may be
         expected for the entire  fiscal year or any other  period.  For further
         information,  refer to consolidated  financial statements and footnotes
         thereto  included in the  Corporation's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for
         the year ended September 30, 1997.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATION

         On June 1,  1998,  the  Corporation  acquired  100% of the  outstanding
         common stock of Insurance  Planners,  a property and casualty insurance
         agency.  The business  combination  was  accounted  for by the purchase
         method and the financial  statements  reflect the operating  results of
         Insurance  Planners  for  the  one  month  ended  June  30,  1998.  The
         Corporation  issued  38,691  shares of common  stock  held as  treasury
         shares to complete the  acquisition.  In  addition,  options for 30,000
         common stock shares, at an exercise price of $19.125, were also issued.
         The acquisition price of $750,000, resulted in an acquired identifiable
         customer based intangible asset of $768,600, which  will  be  amortized
         using the straight line method over twenty five years.  The acquisition
         did not have a material pro-forma effect on the results  of  operations
         for the three and nine month periods ending June 30, 1998 and 1997.

NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 132, issued February,
         1998,  revises  disclosures  about  pension  and  other  postretirement
         benefits to the extent practicable,  requires additional information on
         changes in the benefit  obligations and fair values of plan assets that
         will facilitate financial analysis,  and eliminates certain disclosures
         that are no longer as  useful.  Management  believes  adoption  of this
         standard will not have a material  effect on the financial  disclosures
         for pension and other postretirement benefits.

         Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 133, issued June 1998,
         establishes   accounting   and  reporting   standards  for   derivative
         instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
         contracts,  (collectively  referred to as derivatives)  and for hedging
         activities.  It requires that an entity  recognize all  derivatives  as
         either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
         measure those  instruments  at fair value.  This statement is effective
         for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1999. On the date of adoption,
         the  Corporation  may transfer any held to maturity  security  into the
         available  for  sale  category  and  then  be  able  to  designate  the
         transferred  security as a hedge item. Any  unrealized  holding gain or
         loss on  transferred  securities  will be  reported  in net  income  or
         accumulated other comprehensive  income.  Management has not determined
         its strategy for the adoption of Statement No. 133 or its effect on the
         financial  statements.   If  the  Corporation  elects  to  apply  hedge
         accounting, it is required to establish, at the inception of the hedge,
         the method it will use for assessing 

                                       5
<PAGE>

         the  effectiveness  of  the  hedging  activities  and  the  measurement
         approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge.

NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

         In 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
         Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 128,  Earnings  per Share.
         Statement  128  replaced  the  previously  reported  primary  and fully
         diluted  earnings per share with basic and diluted  earnings per share.
         Unlike  primary  earnings per share,  basic earnings per share excludes
         any dilutive effects of options,  warrants, and convertible securities.
         Diluted  earnings per share is very similar to the previously  reported
         fully  diluted  earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts for
         all periods  have been  presented,  and where  necessary  restated,  to
         conform to the Statement 128 requirements.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

                      FSF FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  ---------------------------------------------

GENERAL

The Corporation's  total assets at June 30, 1998, and September 30, 1997 totaled
963228899$414.1 million and $388.1 million,  respectively. The increase of $26.0
million was  primarily a result of  increases in loans  receivable  and interest
bearing cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents  increased from $6.1 million at September 30, 1997, to
963228900$13.5  million at June 30, 1998,  or an increase of $7.4  million.  The
increase in liquidity was the result of prepayments on mortgages and the sale of
mortgage loans.  The Corporation  utilized excess liquidity to fund the purchase
of treasury shares and fund loans.

Securities  available for sale increased $1 million between  September 30, 1997,
and June 30, 1998, as a result of purchase of such securities.

Securities held to maturity  decreased from $76.4 million at September 30, 1997,
to $70.1 million at June 30, 1998. $5.0 million of securities have matured since
September  30,  1997 and the  proceeds  were used to help fund the  purchase  of
treasury shares and growth in the loan portfolio.

Loans held for sale  increased  $956,000,  to $1,160,000 at June 30, 1998,  from
$204,000 at  September  30, 1997.  As of June 30,  1998,  the Bank had a forward
commitment  to sell  $1,133,000  of loans held for sale to the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage  Corporation  ("FHLMC") and Resources  Bancshares  Mortgage Group, Inc.
("RBMG"),  which in effect  would  reduce the  balance of loans held for sale to
$27,000 as of June 30, 1998.

Loans  receivable  increased $21.1 million or 8.1% to $281.5 million at June 30,
1998,  from  $260.4  million  at  September  30,  1997.  The  increase  in loans
receivable was comprised of $18.3 million in agricultural loans and $7.1 million
in commercial  business loans.  Even though  residential  mortgage  originations
increased by $11.7 million or 24.7%,  the sale of residential  mortgages and the
prepayments of loans resulted in a decrease in  one-to-four  family  residential
mortgages of $5.8 million. To supplement  originations,  the Bank purchased $7.5
million of commercial  business loans.  The commercial  loans purchased meet the
risk profile  established  by the Bank,  generally  have interest rates that are
based on the "Prime" rate as published by the Wall Street  Journal,  and provide
the Bank with the  opportunity  to continue to diversify the  composition of its
loan portfolio and shorten the length of maturity of the portfolio.

The following table sets forth information on loans originated and purchased for
the periods indicated:

(1)  Includes loans held for sale in the amount of $1,160,000 and $204,000 as of
     June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997, respectively.

Deposits after interest credited  increased from $208.2 million at September 30,
1997, to $221.1  million at June 30, 1998, an increase of $12.9 million or 6.2%.
Overall  cost of funds  increased  during  the period as the Bank  attempted  to
maintain deposit rates consistent with marketplace competitors.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")  borrowings  increased $13.4 million from $133.8
million  at  September  30,  1997,  to  $147.2  million  at June 30,  1998.  The
borrowings  were  utilized  as an  additional  source of funding of the  overall
growth in total assets.

The  Corporation  completed the repurchase of 208,218 shares of common stock and
when netted with the exercise of 131,461 of stock  option  shares and the 38,691
shares used to purchase  Insurance Planners of Hutchinson,  Inc.,  increased the
number of treasury shares to 1,568,319 at June 30, 1998.  Treasury shares are to
be used for general  corporate  purposes,  including  the  issuance of shares in
connection  with the  exercise  of stock  options.  Total  stockholders'  equity
decreased from $43.4 million at September 30, 1997, to $43.2 million at June 30,
1998. The $200,000  decrease in  stockholders'  equity was primarily a result of
the  purchase  of  treasury  stock  and the  decrease  in the  market  value  of
securities  available for sale.  Book value per share  increased  from $16.24 at
September 30, 1997, to $16.37 at June 30, 1998.

Loans are  reviewed on a regular  basis and are placed on a  non-accrual  status
when, in the opinion of  management,  the  collection of additional  interest is
doubtful.  Loans are placed on a  non-accrual  status when either  principal  or
interest is 90 days or more past due.  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  of the  assessment  of the  ultimate
collectibility of the loan.

During the nine months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997,  approximately $17,000 and
$3,000  respectively,  would  have been  recorded  on loans  accounted  for on a
non-accrual  basis if such loans had been current according to the original loan
agreements for the entire period.  These amounts were not included in the Bank's
interest

a non-accrual  basis was included in income during any of these periods.  During
the periods indicated, the Bank held no foreign loans.

Net Income. The Corporation recorded net income of $767,000 for the three months
ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to net income of $823,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $56,000 or 6.8%.

Total Interest  Income.  Total interest income increased by $700,000 or 10.1% to
$7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $6.9 million for the
three  months ended June 30,  1997,  due to increases in the average  balance of
interest  earning assets.  The average yield on loans increased to 8.50% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998, from 8.47% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, due
to an increased  mix of higher  yielding  commercial  business and  agricultural
loans. The average balance of mortgage-backed  securities  decreased by $700,000
from $55.1  million for the three months ended June 30, 1997,  to $54.4  million
for the three months ended June 30, 1998.  During this same period,  the average
yield on  mortgage-backed  securities  

                                       10

decreased  from 6.40% to 5.46% or 94 basis points (100 basis points  equals 1%).
The average balance of investment  securities increased to $66.3 million for the
quarter  ended June 30, 1998,  from $65.8 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1997.  The  average  yield  decreased  61 basis  points from 5.74% for the three
months  ended June 30, 1997,  to 5.13% for the same period in 1998,  as interest
rates in general decreased between the periods.

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased to $4.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, from $4.1 million for the same period in 1997.
The average balance of  interest-bearing  deposits increased from $208.5 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1997, to $218.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998.  This  increase was  comprised of interest  credited and an
increase in total deposit accounts.  The average cost of deposits increased by 6
basis points from 4.57% for the three  months ended June 30, 1997,  to 4.63% for
the  same  period  in  1998.  No  assurance  can be made  that  deposits  can be
maintained  in the  future  without  further  increasing  the  cost of  funds if
interest  rates should  increase.  The average  balance of borrowings  increased
$28.5 million to $147.2  million for the three months ended June 30, 1998,  from
$118.7  million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The cost of borrowings
decreased 3 basis points to 5.77% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from
5.80% for the same period in 1997.  Borrowings  increased  as the Bank  utilized
borrowings to supplement deposits and meet other liquidity needs.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income  increased from $2.8 million for the
three  months ended June 30, 199, to $2.9 million for the same period ended June
30, 1998. Average  interest-earning  assets increased $39.1 million, from $362.0
million for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997,  to $401.1  million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998,  while the average  yield on  interest-earning
assets decreased 13 basis points from 7.66% for 1997 to 7.53% for 1998.  Average
interest  bearing  liabilities  increased by $38.6 million to $365.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998,  from $327.2  million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from
5.02% for 1997 to 5.09% in 1998.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank's provision for loan losses was $107,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $30,000 for the same period in
1997.  Land and commercial real estate loans decreased from 13.0% of total loans
at September 30, 1997, to 12.6% at June 30, 1998, and commercial  business loans
increased  from  2.9%  to  5.1%,  respectively.  Agricultural  loans,  land  and
commercial  real  estate  loans and  commercial  business  loans  are  generally
considered  to contain a higher  risk  profile  than single  family  residential
mortgages. In response to these changes,  management has increased the provision
for loan  losses  in order to  maintain  allowance  for loan  losses  at  levels
management  considers  adequate.  The  Bank's  allowance  for  loan  losses  was
$1,048,000  and $833,000 at June 30, 1998, and June 30, 1997,  respectively.  At
June 30,  1998,  the Bank's  allowance  for loan  losses  constituted  123.9% of
non-performing assets as compared to 635.9% of non-performing assets at June 30,
1997.  The  allowance  for  losses on loans is  maintained  at a level  which is
considered  by  management  to be  adequate  to absorb  probable  loan losses on
existing  loans that may become  uncollectible,  based on an  evaluation  of the
collectibility  of loans and prior loan loss  experience and market  conditions.
The evaluation  takes into  consideration  such factors as changes in the nature
and volume of the loan portfolio,  overall portfolio quality, review of specific
problem loans,  and current  economic  conditions that may affect the borrower's
ability to pay. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision
for loan losses  charged to expense.  While the Bank maintains its allowance for
losses at a level which it considers to be adequate,  there can be no assurances
that  further  additions  will not be made to the loss  allowances  or that such
losses will not exceed the estimated  amounts.  See also "Comparison of the Nine
Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 -- Provision for Loan Losses."

Non-interest  Income.  Total  non-interest  income increased $209,000 during the
three  month  period  ended June 30,  1998,  to $620,000 as compared to the same
period in 1997.  Fixed-rate  loans  with terms  greater  than 10 years were sold
during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 for a gain of $130,000.  Service  charges
on deposit accounts  increased from $187,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997,  to $210,000  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998,  an increase of
$37,000 or 12.3%.  Commission income increased $81,000 or 128.6% to $144,000 for
the quarter  ended June 30, 1998,  from  $63,000 for the quarter  ended June 30,
1997,  due to  increased  sales  and  the  purchase  of  Insurance  Planners  of
Hutchinson, Inc.

Non-interest  Expense.  Total  non-interest  expense increased $302,000 or 16.5%
over the periods compared. Compensation and benefits increased to $1,374,000 for
1998 from  $1,152,000  for  1997,  as a result of  normal  merit  increases  and
additional  staff as a result of  expansion  into  agricultural  and  commercial
lending. Occupancy expense remained level at $206,000. Data processing increased
$25,000 to  $125,000  for the  period  ended June 30,  1998,  due to  processing
expense associated with increased delivery of electronic  services to

                                       11

customers,  and to a lesser extent, as a result of the costs associated with the
Corporation's Year 2000 compliance program.

Historically,  date fields in computer  software  programs were programmed using
two digit characters to represent the year. Due to this practice, these software
applications,  if not corrected  prior to the year 2000, will interpret the year
as 1900 and not 2000.  As a result,  many  calculations  which  rely on the date
field  information,  such as interest,  payment or due dates and other operating
functions, will generate results which will be significantly misstated.

To  prepare  for this  event  and to  minimize  its  potential  adverse  impact,
management  has identified  areas that will be affected by this issue,  assessed
their potential  impact on the operations of the Bank,  monitors the progress of
third party software vendors, service providers and customers in addressing this
matter,  is testing changes provided by these vendors,  and continues to develop
contingency   plans  for  any  critical   systems  which  are  not   effectively
reprogrammed.

The Bank's  material data  processing  functions are  performed  using  software
provided  by a third  party  vendor.  This  vendor has advised its users that it
expects to resolve any potential  problems  prior to the year 2000. In addition,
this vendor will provide  ongoing  communication  to its users to assist them in
implementing tests of the vendor's software. If this vendor is unable to correct
potential problems in time, or if tests should prove the proposed corrections to
be insufficient,  it is likely that the Bank would  experience  significant data
processing  delays,  errors or failures.  Such delays,  errors or failures could
have a  significant  adverse  impact on the  financial  condition and results of
operations  of the Bank.  In  addition,  monitoring  and  managing the year 2000
project will result in additional  direct and indirect costs to the Bank. Direct
costs  include  potential  charges by third party  software  vendors for product
enhancements,  costs  involved  in  testing  software  products  for  year  2000
compliance,  and any resulting costs for developing and implementing contingency
plans for critical software products which are not enhanced. Indirect costs will
principally  consist of the time  devoted by existing  employees  in  monitoring
software vendor progress,  testing enhanced  software  products and implementing
any  necessary  contingency  plans.  Total  costs  are  estimated  not to exceed
$50,000. Actual costs will be charged to earnings over the next six quarters, as
incurred.

Despite the best efforts of management to address this issue, the vast number of
external entities that have direct and indirect business  relationships with the
Bank, such as customers,  vendors,  payment system providers and other financial
institutions, makes it impossible to assure that a failure to achieve compliance
by one or more of these entities  would not have material  adverse impact on the
operations of the Bank.

Income Tax Expense.  Income taxes  decreased by $46,000 or 8.2%, to $513,000 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1998, from $559,000 for the same period in
1997.

Net Income. The Corporation's net income remained stable at $2.3 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

Total Interest Income.  Total interest income increased by $2.2 million or 10.9%
to $22.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, from $20.2 million for
the  nine  months  ended  June 30,  1997.  The  yields  on  mortgage-backed  and
investment  securities decreased 65 and 37 basis points,  respectively,  for the

1997. The yield on loans receivable increased 3 basis points for the nine months
ended June 30,  1998.  Furthermore,  the  average  balance  of loans  receivable
increased  $43.0 million  during these periods as a result of an increase in all
types of loans originated.

Total Interest Expense.  Total interest expense increased $1.8 million.  Average
interest  bearing  liabilities  increased  from $318.4 million in 1997 to $358.9
million  in 1998 and the cost of the  liabilities  increased  from 5.03% for the
nine months  ended June 30,  1997,  to 5.13% for the nine months  ended June 30,
1998.  Interest on deposits  increased  $537,000 and the average rate  increased
from 4.58% to 4.66% during the comparison period.  Average borrowings  increased
from $116.7  million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997, to $145.3  million
for the  nine  months  ended  June  30,  1998,  and the  cost of the  borrowings
increased from 5.80% to 5.81%.  Management can make no assurances  regarding the
future  movement  of  interest  rates and their  impact  on  earnings  in future
periods.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income  increased from $8.2 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997,  to $8.6 million for the same period ended June
30, 1998, an increase of $400,000 or 4.9%. The increase is mostly a result of an
increase in interest income.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The Bank's  provision  for loan losses  increased to
$227,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. See also  "Comparison

Non-interest  Income.  Total non-interest income increased from $1.1 million for
the nine months ended June 30,  1997,  to $1.6 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998.  Loans were sold in the  secondary  market during the nine months
ended June 30, 1998,  with a resulting gain of $241,000 for the period  compared
with a gain of $33,000 for the same period in 1997.  Other  service  charges and
fees  increased  from $312,000 for the 1997 fiscal year to $352,000 for the 1998
fiscal year due to the increased  level of  originations  and to  origination of
more loans with  associated  fees that could be  recognized  in current  income.
Service charges on deposit accounts  increased from $509,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1997,  to $618,000  for the nine months  ended June 30, 1998,  or
21.4%, due to increases in fees charged and the number of accounts.

Non-interest Expense.  Total non-interest expense increased by $665,000 or 12.2%
over the periods compared. Compensation and benefits increased from $3.4 million
to $3.9 million for the periods,  impacted by merit increases that averaged 3.5%
for all employees and the expansion into  agricultural  and commercial  lending.
Deposit insurance premiums decreased 26.9%, as a result of the reduction in SAIF
premium.  Professional fees increased from $170,000 for the first nine months of
fiscal  1997 to  $211,000  for the first nine  months of fiscal  1998.  See also

Expense."

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense  remained  level at $1.5 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital  requirements  administered by
the  Office  of  Thrift  Supervision  (OTS).  Failure  to meet  minimum  capital
requirements   can  initiate  certain   mandatory  -  and  possibly   additional
discretionary - actions by regulators  that, if undertaken,  could have a direct
material  effect on the Bank's  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory  framework for prompt corrective  action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative  measures of the
Bank's assets,  liabilities  and certain  off-balance  sheet items as calculated
under  regulatory   accounting   practices.   The  Bank's  capital  amounts  and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation to ensure  capital  adequacy
require the Bank to maintain  minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below)  of  total  and  Tier  1  capital  (as  defined  in the  regulations)  to
risk-weighted  assets  (as  defined),  and of  tangible  and Tier 1 capital  (as
defined) to adjusted total assets (as defined).

As of December 31, 1997, the most recent  notification  from the OTS categorized
the Bank as  "well  capitalized"  under  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt
corrective  action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain
minimum total risk-based,  Tier 1 risk-based,  and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set
forth  in the  table  below.  There  are no  conditions  or  events  since  that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

On June 30, 1998, the Bank was in compliance with its three  regulatory  capital
requirements as follows:

Management  believes that under current  regulations,  the Bank will continue to
meet its minimum capital  requirements in the foreseeable future.  Events beyond
the control of the Bank,  such as increased  interest rates or a downturn in the
economy  in areas in which  the Bank  operates  could  adversely  affect  future
earnings  and as a result,  the  ability of the Bank to meet its future  minimum
capital requirements.

The Bank's  liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals
of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective manner. The
Bank's  primary  sources of funds are deposits and  scheduled  amortization  and
principal  payment  of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities.  During  the past
several  years,  the Bank has used such funds  primarily to fund  maturing  time
deposits,  pay savings  withdrawals,  fund  lending  commitments,  purchase  new
investments,  and increase  liquidity.  The Bank is  currently  able to fund the
majority of its  operations  internally and uses borrowed funds from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Des Moines when deemed  appropriate by management.  As of June
30, 1998,  such borrowed funds totaled $147.2 million.  Loan payments,  maturing
investments and mortgage-backed  security  prepayments are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The Bank is required  under federal  regulations to maintain  certain  specified
levels of "liquid  investments",  which include certain United States government
obligations and other approved investments.  In December,  1997, the OTS reduced
the  requirement for Banks to maintain liquid assets from 5% to not less than 4%
of its  net  withdrawable  accounts  plus  short  term  borrowings.  The  Bank's
regulatory liquidity was 5.6% and 5.4% at June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
The options from the previous method were used in the current period,  which are
more restrictive.

The amount of  certificate  accounts  which are  scheduled to mature  during the
twelve months  ending June 30, 1998,  is  approximately  $77.1  million.  To the
extent  that these  deposits do not remain at the Bank upon  maturity,  the Bank
believes that it can replace these funds with new  deposits,  excess  liquidity,
FHLB advances or outside  borrowings.  It has been the Bank's  experience that a
substantial portion of such maturing deposits remain at the Bank.

At June 30, 1998, the Bank had  commitments  to originate  loans of $2.6 million
and unused lines of credit on  commercial  agricultural  and  consumer  loans of
$26.0 million.  The Bank also had a commitment to purchase a $2 million security
to be classified as available for sale. Funds required to fill these commitments
are derived primarily from current excess liquidity,  advances,  deposit inflows
or loan and security repayments.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements of the  Corporation and notes
thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP,
which requires the  measurement of financial  position and operating  results in
terms of  historical  dollars  without  considering  the change in the  relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is
reflected in the increased  cost of the  Corporation's  operations.  Unlike most
industrial  companies,  nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Corporation
are  financial.  As a  result,  interest  rates  have a  greater  impact  on the
Corporation's  performance  than do the general  levels of  inflation.  Interest
rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
prices of goods and services.
