                         Notes to Financial Statements


Note A -  Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------

          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
          prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-QSB and,
          therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for fair
          presentation of financial condition, results of operations and changes
          in financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting
          principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
          (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair
          presentation have been included. The preparation of financial
          statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting 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 results of operations for the three and nine month
          periods ended December 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the
          results which may be expected for the entire year.

Note B -  Principles of Consolidation
          ---------------------------

          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
          the accounts of West Town Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly
          owned subsidiary West Town Savings Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's
          wholly owned subsidiary West Town Insurance Agency, Inc. All
          significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
          eliminated in consolidation.

Note C -  Plan of Conversion
          ------------------

          In April 1994, the Bank's Board of Directors approved a Plan of
          Conversion, providing for the Bank's conversion from a state chartered
          mutual savings bank to a state chartered stock savings bank with the
          concurrent formation of a holding company. The Company issued 221,940
          shares of $.01 par value common stock at $10.00 per share, for an
          aggregate purchase price of $2,219,400. The Conversion and sale of
          221,940 shares of common stock of the Company was completed on March
          1, 1995. Net proceeds to the Company, after conversion expenses,
          totaled approximately $1,889,000.

Note D -  Earnings Per Share
          ------------------

          Earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended December
          31, 1998 and 1997 was determined by dividing net income for the period
          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 therefore considered in diluted earnings per share calculations.
          Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method.
          ESOP shares not committed to be released to participants are not
          considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share
          amounts.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
- -----------------------------------------

Note E -  Effect of New Accounting Standards
          ----------------------------------

          In December 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
          Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131") which becomes effective for
          fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131
          establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises
          report information about operating segments and requires enterprises
          to report selected information about operating segments in interim
          financial reports. Management does not believe that adoption of SFAS
          No. 131 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
          financial condition or results of operations.

          In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
          Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132"). SFAS No. 132 alters current
          disclosure requirements regarding pensions and other postretirement
          benefits in the financial statements of employers who sponsor such
          benefit plans. The revised disclosure requirements are designed to
          provide additional information to assist readers in evaluating future
          costs related to such plans. Additionally, the revised disclosures are
          designed to provide changes in the components of pension and benefit
          costs in addition to the year end components of those factors in the
          resulting asset or liability related to such plans. The statement is
          effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 with
          earlier application available. Management does not believe that
          adoption of SFAS No. 132 will have a material impact on the Company's
          consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

          In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
          Activities", ("SFAS No. 133") which is effective for fiscal years
          beginning after June 15, 1999. The statement 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. Management does not believe that adoption of SFAS
          No. 133 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
          financial condition or results of operations.

          In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained
          after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage
          Banking Enterprise" ("SFAS No. 134"), which is effective for the first
          fiscal quarter after December 15, 1998. This statement amends SFAS No.
          65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities". This
          statement revises the accounting for retained securities and
          beneficial interests. Management does not believe that adoption of
          SFAS No. 134 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 developments 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.

                               AND SUBSIDIARIES

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


Financial Condition
- -------------------

     The assets of West Town Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") increased
approximately $540,000, or 1.83%, for the nine month period ended December 31,
1998. This increase was primarily the result of increases in cash and cash
equivalents and in mortgage loans receivable held by West Town Savings Bank (the
"Bank"), which were primarily funded by excess cash liquidity resulting from
maturities of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and increased
deposits during the nine month period ended December 31, 1998.

     Net loans receivable increased $1.1 million, or 6.10%, for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998. During that period, the Bank originated or purchased
approximately $8.0 million in loans which exceeded repayments of $6.9 million
and participation loans sold of $573,000 during the same period.

     The Bank experienced an increase in savings deposits for the nine month
period of approximately $231,000, or .91%. It is management's belief that part
of the deposit activity for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 can be
attributed to new deposit products.

     Stockholders' equity increased approximately $161,000, or 3.99%, for the
nine month period ended December 31, 1998. This increase was primarily the
result of the amortization of the cost of the Company's stock benefit plans of
$13,000, net income for the nine months of $128,000 and unrealized gains on
available for sale securities of $44,000, partially offset by the purchase of
treasury stock at a cost of $24,000. As of December 31, 1998, the book value per
common share outstanding was $18.90.

Analysis of Operations
- ----------------------

     A net profit of $34,000 was recognized for the three months ended December
31, 1998 as compared to a net profit of $37,000 for the same period in 1997.
This $3,000 decrease in net income was due primarily to a decrease in net
interest income of $7,000 and an increase in non-interest expense of $4,000,
partially offset by a decrease in income taxes of $7,000. The Company's net
income for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 was $128,000 as compared to
net income of $105,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1997. This $23,000
increase in net income was due primarily to a $40,000 increase in net interest
income, and a $6,000 increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a
$10,000 increase in non-interest expense, and by a $12,000 increase in income
taxes.

     Interest income decreased by $8,000 for the three month period ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to the same three month period in 1997. This was
primarily the result of a decrease in the average yield to 6.84% from 7.21%,
partially offset by an increase in the average balances of interest-earning
assets to $28.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $27.8
million for the three months ended December 31, 1997. Interest income increased
$118,000 for the nine month period ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the
same nine month period in 1997. This was primarily the result of an increase in
the average balance of interest-earning assets, as well as an increase in the
average yield on those assets. The average balances of those assets increased
from approximately $26.7 million to $28.6 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 1997 and 1998 respectively. This increase was accompanied by an
increase in the average yield earned from 7.08% to 7.14% for the nine months
ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 respectively.

Analysis of Operations (continued)
- ----------------------------------

     Interest expense decreased from $310,000 to $309,000 from the three months
ended December 31, 1997 to the same period in 1998. This decrease was
attributable to a decrease in the average cost of savings from 4.99% to 4.85%,
partially offset by an increase in the average balances of interest-bearing
liabilities to $25.5 million from $24.9 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectfully. Interest expense increased from
$859,000 to $937,000 from the nine months ended December 31, 1997 to the same
period in 1998. This increase was attributable to an increase in the average
balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $25.4 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998 from $23.8 million for the same period in 1997, as well
as an increase in the average cost of savings to 4.92% from 4.81% for the same
nine month periods.

     The Bank calculates any allowance for loan losses based upon its ongoing
evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the types and quality of its loans,
including the risk inherent in its loan portfolio, and other factors such as the
current regulatory and economic environment. Based upon this evaluation, loan
loss provisions are recorded. Provisions of $1,500 and $1,500 were made for the
three month periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively, and
provisions of $4,500 and $4,500 were made for the nine month periods ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively. Management believes that additions to
its provision for loan losses have been appropriate, given the risks inherent in
its loan portfolio, and the current regulatory and economic environment.
Although the Bank believes its allowance for loan losses is at a level which it
considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no
assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.

     Non-interest income remained relatively constant for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. Non-interest income
increased by $6,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to
the same period in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in deposit-related fee income.

     Non-interest expense increased from $138,000 to $142,000 from the three
months ended December 31, 1997 to the three months ended December 31, 1998. This
increase was primarily attributable to increases in staffing costs and occupancy
expenses, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Non-interest
expense increased from $414,000 to $424,000 from the nine months ended December
31, 1997 to the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase for the nine
month period was primarily the result of increases in occupancy and equipment
expenses of $11,000 and data processing of $8,000, partially offset by decreases
in professional fees of $3,000 and in other expenses of $6,000.

     The provision for income taxes decreased $7,000 and increased $12,000 for
the three and nine months ended December 31, 1998, respectively, as compared to
the same periods in 1997. These changes were attributable to changes in pre-tax
income between the comparable periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     At December 31, 1998, the Bank continued to comply with its liquidity
requirements, with an overall liquid asset ratio of 24.64% and a short-term
liquid asset ratio of 25.81%. Management's objectives and strategies for the
Bank have consistently maintained liquidity levels in excess of regulatory
requirements. It is management's intent to continue its efforts to deploy excess
liquidity into mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities; however, the
success of lending efforts is dependent upon the availability of favorable loan
opportunities and the competition therefor. At December 31, 1998, the Bank had
no outstanding commitments to fund loans, and no commitments to purchase
mortgage-backed securities or other investment securities.

     The Bank was in compliance with regulatory capital requirements at 
December 31, 1998. Capital requirements, ratios, and balances are as follows:

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

     The Company utilizes and is dependent upon data processing systems and
software to conduct its business. The data processing systems and software
include those developed and maintained by the Company's third-party data
processing vendor and purchased software which is run on in-house computer
networks. During the previous fiscal year, the Company initiated a review and
assessment of all hardware and software to confirm that it will function
properly in the year 2000. To date, those vendors which have been contacted have
indicated that their hardware or software is or will be Year 2000 compliant in
time frames that meet regulatory requirements. The costs associated with the
compliance efforts are not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's ongoing results of operations.

Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
