                 PERRY COUNTY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)


(1)The information contained in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements is unaudited.  In  the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (none of
which were other than normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair 
statement of the results of operations for the interim periods. 
The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for
the entire fiscal year.  These consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
of the Company for the year ended September 30, 1995 contained in the
1995 Annual Report to Stockholders which is filed as an exhibit to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

(2)Proposals have been introduced in the U.S. Congress which, if
adopted, would overhaul the savings association industry.
The most significant of these proposals would recapitalized the SAIF
through a one-time special assessment of approximately 85 basis points
on the amount of deposits held by the institution. 
Should the Bank be required to pay such special assessment,
the Bank's capital will be reduced by approximately $335,000,
based on deposits of $62.5 million at June 30, 1996 and
a tax rate of 37%.  In the event the assessment is not deductible for
tax purposes, capital would be reduced by approximately $531,000. 
Management cannot predict whether the special assessment proposal
will be enacted, or, if enacted, the amount of any one-time fee or
the date to be used for determining deposits on which the assessment
will be based.

(3)On January 16, 1996, the stockholders of Perry County Financial
Corporation ratified the 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
(Stock Option Plan).  Of the 85,645 shares reserved for issuance under
the Stock Option Plan, 70,798 shares were awarded in January,
1996, and the remainder are available for future awards.
The stock options were awarded at $19 per share which was equal to
the market value of the Company's common stock at the date of
grant.  At June 30, 1996 there were 21,411 shares exercisable.

On January 16, 1996, the stockholders ratified the Management
Recognition and Retention Plan (MRP).  Of the 34,258 shares reserved
for issuance under the MRP, 29,114 shares were awarded in January, 1996,
to directors, executive officers and employees and the remainder are
available for future awards.  Compensation expense in the amount of the
fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant is recognized
pro rata over a five year period following the date of grant of the award.

(4)The Company reclassified its entire portfolio of marketable
debt securities and mortgage-backed and related securities from held to
maturity to available for sale in December, 1995. Stockholders' equity
is expected to increase or decrease in the future to the extent
(net of income tax effect) that the market value of securities and
mortgage-backed and related securities increase or decrease.

(5)The Company initiated a stock repurchase program upon approval
by the OTS of up to 5% of its common stock issued in the Company's
initial common stock offering.  During May, 1996 the Company repurchased
29,114 shares for the MRP awards and an additional 3,886 shares of common
stock in the open market.  Of the 33,000 shares repurchased,5,000 and
28,000 shares were at a price of $17.50 and $17.75 per share, respectively.

(6)Earnings per share are based upon the weighted-average shares
outstanding.  Earnings per share for the nine months ended June 30, 1995
are stated on a pro forma basis as if the shares were outstanding for the
entire period.  ESOP shares which have been committed to be released are
considered outstanding.

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

General

Perry County Financial Corporation (Company) has no significant
assets other than common stock of Perry County Savings Bank, FSB (Bank),
the loan to the ESOP and net proceeds retained by the Company following
the conversion.  The Company's principal business is the business of the Bank. 
Therefore, the discussion in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations relates to the Bank and its
operations.

Certain statements in this report which relate to the Company's
plans, objectives or future performance may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995.
Such statements are based on management's current expectations.
Actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially
from those currently expected because of various risks and uncertainties.
Additional discussion of factors affecting the Company's business and
prospects is contained in periodic filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank's principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits,
security maturities, principal collections on mortgage-backed and related
securities (MBSs), loan repayments by borrowers and net earnings.
The Bank has an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines
to provide cash advances, should the need for additional funds be required.

For regulatory purposes, liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash
and certain investments to withdrawable deposits.  The minimum level of
liquidity required by regulation is presently 5%.  The Bank's regulatory
liquidity ratio was approximately 32% at June 30, 1996.

The savings and loan industry historically has accepted interest
rate risk as a part of its operating philosophy.  Long-term, fixed-rate
loans were funded with deposits which adjust to market interest
rates more frequently.  In recent years, the Bank originated primarily
mortgage loans which permit adjustment of the interest rate after an 
initial term of one to three years in order to reduce inherent interest
rate risk.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
(FIRREA) requires that the Bank maintain core capital equal to 3% of
adjusted total assets and maintain tangible capital equal to 1.5% of
adjusted total assets.  The Bank must maintain an 8% risk-based capital.
The following table presents the Bank's capital position relative to its
regulatory capital requirements under FIRREA at June 30, 1996:

Commitments to originate mortgage loans at June 30, 1996 amounted
to $646,000.

Financial Condition

Assets increased from $76.4 million at September 30, 1995 to
$80.4 million at June 30, 1996. Customer deposits, advances from the FHLB,
and cash and cash equivalents were used to purchase securities and fund loan
originations.  Due to renewed emphasis on lending activities, the Bank's loan
portfolio increased $3.3 million from September 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996.
The Bank transferred its debt securities and all mortgage-backed and related
securities to its available for sale portfolio during the quarter ended
December 31, 1995.  Accrued interest on securities increased due to the
timing of interest receipts and a higher portfolio balance. Other assets
and income taxes payable fluctuated as a result of timing of Federal income
tax payments. Accrued interest on deposits decreased as a result of the
timing of interest paid on certain certificate accounts.  Advances from
borrowers for taxes and insurance increased due to seasonal factors.
Real estate taxes on behalf of borrowers are paid in December of each year.

Asset Quality

Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when contractually delinquent more
than ninety days.  Nonaccrual loans decreased from $62,857 at September 30,
1995 to zero at June 30, 1996.

                                Results of Operation

Net Earnings

Net earnings decreased from $186,512 for the three months ended June 30,
1995 to $108,661 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Net earnings
decreased from $515,343 for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 to
$463,740 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. The decreases were
due to higher noninterest expense offset by higher net interest income and
noninterest income and lower income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased from $510,612 for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 to $552,592 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Net interest income increased from $1,464,926 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1995 to $1,605,488 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996.
Interest income increased as a result of the effect on earnings of proceeds
from the sale of common stock effective February 10, 1995 and higher
interest rates.  Interest on deposits increased as a result of a higher
weighted-average rate. Interest on advances from FHLB increased due to a
higher average balance.

Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for loan losses is based upon management's consideration of
economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to repay the
loans.  Management also reviews individual loans for which full
collectibility may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other
matters, the risks inherent in the Bank's portfolio and the estimated fair
value of the underlying collateral.  This evaluation is ongoing and results
in variations in the Bank's provision for loan losses.  As a result of
this evaluation, the Bank made no provision for loan losses for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased from $221,441 for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 to $402,422 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. 
Noninterest expense increased from $673,630 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1995 to $920,077 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. 
The increase was due to recognition of MRP and ESOP expenses, higher
equipment and data processing expense, professional services and expenses
associated with operating as a public company.

ESOP expense was $28,624 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and $62,063 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $30,293
for the three months ended June 30, 1995 and $72,333 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1995.  ESOP expense was lower than expected since the plan
was "top heavy" under the Internal Revenue Code.  ESOP expense for the nine
month periods would have been approximately $30,000 higher had the plan
not been top heavy.  Management is investigating alternative strategies to
alleviate the top heavy limitations.  Proposed Federal tax legislation would
eliminate the top heavy status.  ESOP expense is affected by changes in the
market price of the Company's stock, which increased substantially during
the year ended September 30, 1995.  During January, 1996, the Bank
implemented a management recognition plan similar to plans of other publicly
traded thrift institutions.  MRP expense for the three and nine months ended
June 30, 1996 was $175,552 and $198,284, respectively, compared with no
expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1995.  MRP expense for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996 includes $156,029 related to
acceleration of vesting of MRP shares upon the death of Mrs. Patricia E.
Rozier.  Recurring MRP expense is expected to be approximately $20,000 per
quarter.

Other noninterest expense and professional services increased due principally
to costs associated with operating as a public company, including annual
report printing, annual meeting expenses and NASDAQ fees.  Professional
services for the three month periods remained virtually unchanged.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased due to lower pretax earnings.
