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 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.  
Although the Bank has originated adjustable rate mortgage loans (AMLs) in the
past, recently the Bank has originated primarily 20-year, fixed rate loans.
Since April, 1998, the Bank has purchased $13.5 million of 20- and 30-year
fixed rate mortgage-backed securities.  Advances from the FHLB with a 10-year
term, callable in 5 years, were used to fund the purchases.  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 100 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.  

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 an outside service bureau
which recently completed proxy testing.  Other major systems have been 
tested.  Connectivity testing between Bank and vendor systems to ensure 
continued compatibility is scheduled for March, 1999.  The Bank identified
certain of its hardware and software that would not be year 2000 compliant and

<PAGE>6

purchased newer equipment and software amounting to $63,000 in 1998.  
Management is unable to estimate any additional expense related to this 
issue.  Any year 2000 compliance failure 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, 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.

The minimum level of liquidity required by regulation is presently 4%.  The 
Bank's liquidity ratio exceeded the regulatory requirement at December 31, 
1998.  

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.
Capital adequacy guidelines require Tier 1 (core) capital of at least 4% (3%
under certain circumstances) of total assets, Tier 1 capital of 4% of risk-
weighted assets and total capital (risk-based capital) of 8% of risk-weighted
assets.  As of December 31, 1998, the Bank was categorized as well 
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

The Bank's regulatory capital and regulatory capital requirements at 
December 31, 1998 are summarized as follows:
    
                                           Minimum Required  Minimum Required
                                              for Capital        to be "Well

                                                   (Dollars in Thousands)

Tier 1 capital to total assets    $13,636   14.2% $3,839  4.0%  $4,798   5.0%

Commitments to originate mortgage loans and fund loans in process at 
December 31, 1998 amounted to $1,063,000, expiring in 180 days or less. 
Commitments at December 31, 1998 to purchase securities were approximately 
$2,000,000.

Financial Condition

Deposits from customers and cash and cash equivalents were used to fund 
purchases of securities and mortgage-backed securities.  Accrued interest 
payable on deposits decreased due to timing of interest payments.  Advances
from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased due to the payment of real
estate taxes on behalf of borrowers in December.  During the three months 
ended December 31, 1998 the Company repurchased 11,500 shares of common stock 
in the open market at a price of $19.625 per share.  While the purchase of 
treasury stock may be beneficial to the Company or shareholders, the purchase 
of treasury stock reduces interest-earning assets of the Company.  Capital of
the Bank is also reduced to the extent treasury stock purchases are funded by 
dividends from the Bank to the Company.

Asset Quality

Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when contractually delinquent more than
ninety days.  There were no nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1998.

Following is a summary of activity in the allowance for loan losses:

   Balance at September 30, 1998                       $      25,000
      Charge-offs                                             -     
      Recoveries                                              -     
      Provision for loan loss                                 -     
   Balance at December 31, 1998                        $      25,000


                                         Results of Operation

Net Earnings 

Net earnings decreased from $200,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1997 to $177,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  The decrease
was due primarily to a decline in net interest income and an increase in 
noninterest
expense, offset by a decrease in income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased from $557,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1997 to $533,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  Interest
income on loans receivable increased as a result of a higher average balance
of loans in the 1998 period.  Interest on other interest- earning assets 
increased significantly due to a higher average balance of FHLB daily time 
deposits.  Components of interest income vary from time to time based on the 
availability and interest rates of loans, securities, MBSs and other interest-
bearing assets.  Interest on deposits increased due to a higher weighted-
average rate, reflecting an increasingly competitive market for retail 
deposits.  Interest on FHLB advances 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 months ended December 31,
1998 and 1997.

<PAGE>8


Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was comparable for the three months ended December 31, 1997
and 1998.

Noninterest Expense 

Noninterest expense increased from $236,000 for the three months ended December
31, 1997 to $248,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998.  The
increase was due primarily to higher data processing costs and depreciation on
equipment.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased due to lower pretax earnings.
