 (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, 1997 contained in the 1997 Annual
     Report to Stockholders which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
     KSB.

 (2) In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" and SFAS No. 129,
     "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure."  The Statements supersede APB Opinion No.
     15, amend certain other accounting pronouncements, and modify the presentation of earnings per
     share.  The Statements are effective for financial statements for both interim periods and years
     ending after December 15, 1997.  Following is a summary of basic and diluted earnings per
     common share for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998 and the three and six months

                      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 the 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.  

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

The Bank's net interest income is dependent primarily upon the difference or spread between the
average yield earned on loans, securities and MBS and the average rate paid on deposits, as well as the
relative amounts of such assets and liabilities.  The Bank, as other thrift institutions, is subject to
interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times, or
on a different basis, than its interest-earning assets.  The Bank does not purchase derivative financial
instruments or other financial instruments for trading purposes.  Further, the Bank is not subject to any
foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk.

The Bank's principal financial objective is to achieve long-term profitability while managing its exposure
to fluctuating interest rates.  The Bank has an exposure to interest rate risk, including short-term U.S.
prime interest rates.  The Bank has employed various strategies intended to minimize the adverse effect
of interest rate risk on future operations by providing a better match between the interest rate
sensitivity of its assets and liabilities.  In particular, the Bank's strategies are intended to stabilize net
interest income for the long-term by protecting its interest rate spread against increases in interest
rates.  Such strategies include the purchase of short and intermediate term securities and adjustable
rate mortgage backed securities.  Although the Bank has originated adjustable rate mortgage loans
(AMLs) in the past, during the six months ended March 31, 1998, the Bank originated primarily 20-year,
fixed rate loans.  Management does not anticipate that either financial objectives, strategies or
instruments used to manage its interest rate risk exposure will change significantly in the near future.

The OTS provides a net market value methodology to measure the interest rate risk exposure of thrift
institutions.  This exposure is a measure of the potential decline in the net portfolio value (NPV) of the
institution based upon the effect of an assumed 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates. 
NPV is the present value of the expected net cash flows from the institution's financial instruments
(assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts).  Loans, deposits, and investments are valued taking
into consideration similar maturities, related discount rates and applicable prepayment assumptions. 
Under OTS regulations, an institution's normal level of interest rate risk in the event of this assumed
change in interest rates is a decrease in the institution's NPV in an amount not exceeding 2% of the
present value of its assets.  This procedure for measuring interest rate risk was developed by the OTS
to replace the gap analysis (the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
that mature or reprice within a specific time period).

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Year 2000
The Bank is reviewing computer applications with its outside data processing service bureau and other
software vendors to ensure operational and financial systems are not adversely affected by "year 2000"
software failures.  All major customer applications are processed through the outside service bureau. 
The service bureau has indicated that it expects to modify existing programs to make them year 2000
compliant.  Management of the Bank is unable to estimate any additional expense related to this issue. 
Any year 2000 compliance failures could result in additional expense to the Bank.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Bank's principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits, security maturities, principal
collections on mortgage-backed 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 Bank need additional funds.

During November, 1997, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) lowered the liquidity requirement for
savings institutions from 5% to 4% of the liquidity base.  The Bank's liquidity ratio exceeded the
regulatory requirement at March 31, 1998.  

The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum capital requirements under OTS regulations.  Failure
by a savings institution to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and
possible discretionary actions by regulators which, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
the Bank's financial statements.  Under the capital adequacy guidelines and 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 capital amounts and classifications are also subject to judgments
by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.

The Bank's regulatory capital and minimum capital requirements at March 31, 1998 are summarized
as follows:

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

Financial Condition
Assets increased from $84.1 million at September 30, 1997 to $86.1 million at March 31, 1998. 
Securities and mortgage-backed securities portfolios decreased $2.5 million and $2.1 million,
respectively, from the September 30, 1997 balances.  Proceeds from sales, maturity or call of
securities, principal collections on loans and MBSs, and net savings deposits were used to fund loans,
increase cash and cash equivalents and purchase securities.  Loans increased from $13.9 million at
September 30, 1997 to $15.3 million at March 31, 1998.  The Bank is originating primarily 20-year
fixed-rates loans at the present time.
 
Asset Quality
Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when contractually delinquent more than ninety days.  There
were no nonaccrual loans at September 30, 1997 or March 31, 1998.

Following is a summary of the allowance for loan losses:

Balance, September 30, 1997           $      25,000
   Charge-offs                                -    
   Recoveries                                 -    
   Provision for loan losses                  -    
Balance, March 31, 1998               $      25,000

                                                Results of Operation

Net Earnings
Net earnings decreased from $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $207,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998.  Net earnings decreased from $525,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 1997 to $407,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998.  Net earnings for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased from the comparable period in 1997 due to lower net
interest income and higher noninterest expense.  Net earnings for the six months ended March 31,
1998 decreased from the comparable period in 1997 as a result of net gain on sale of securities and
MBSs of $135,000, which was recognized during the 1997 period, and higher noninterest expense in
1998.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased from $584,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to
$566,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  Net interest income decreased from
$1,131,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $1,123,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1998.  Interest income increased as a result of a higher level of loans and other interest-earning
assets.  Loans receivable, net have increased substantially in recent years.  Components of interest
income vary from time to time based on the availability and interest rates of loans, securities, mortgage-
backed securities (MBSs), and other interest-bearing assets.  Interest expense increased as a result of
a higher average balance of FHLB advances outstanding and a higher weighted-average rate on
deposits. 

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

<PAGE>                              7


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 six months ended March 31, 1997 and
1998.

Noninterest Income
During the six months ended March 31, 1997, securities available for sale with a carrying value of $1.0
million were sold at a loss of $5,000 and MBSs with a carrying value of $2,626,000 were sold at a 
gain of $140,000.  The sales were primarily small balance pools and one collateralized mortgage
obligation of $500,000.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased from $208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to
$234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.  Noninterest expense increased from $449,000
for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $470,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. 
The increase was primarily a result of higher compensation and benefits.  Compensation and benefits
increased largely due to higher ESOP expense, which increased from $40,000 for the six months ended
March 31, 1997 to $53,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998.  Under generally accepted
accounting principles, expense of the ESOP is affected by changes in the market price of the Bank's
stock.  SAIF deposit insurance premium for the six months ended March 31, 1998 decreased from the
comparable period in 1997 as a result of a lower assessment rate.  Other noninterest expense for the
six months ended March 31, 1998 increased from the comparable period in 1997 as a result of higher
professional services due to operating as a public company.

Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased due to lower earnings before income taxes.
