                  The Bank West Financial  Corporation  Employee Stock Ownership
                  Plan Trust ("Trust") was established pursuant to the Bank West
                  Financial  Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP").
                  Under the terms of the ESOP,  the Trustees will generally vote
                  the allocated  shares held in the ESOP in accordance  with the
                  instructions of the participating employees and will generally
                  vote  unallocated   shares  held  in  the  ESOP  in  the  same
                  proportion for and against  proposals to  stockholders  as the
                  ESOP  participants and  beneficiaries  actually vote shares of
                  Common Stock allocated to their individual  accounts,  subject
                  in each case to the fiduciary  duties of the ESOP Trustees and
                  applicable  law. Any allocated  shares which either abstain on
                  the  proposal  or  are  not  voted  will  be   disregarded  in
                  determining the percentage of stock voted for and against each
                  proposal by the participants and beneficiaries. As of December
                  31, 1998,  70,634 shares had been  allocated to  participants'
                  accounts  and 164,034  shares were  unallocated.  During 1998,
                  7,046   allocated   shares  were   distributed  to  terminated
                  participants.

Item 5.           Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

                  Not applicable since the reporting entity owns more than 5% of
                  the class.

Item 6.           Ownership  of More than  Five  Percent  on  Behalf of  Another
                  Person.

                  Participants in the ESOP are entitled to receive dividends on,
                  and the  proceeds  from,  the sale of the shares  allocated to
                  their  accounts.  The ESOP does not own more than 5% on behalf
                  of another person.

Item 7.           Identification  and  Classification  of the  Subsidiary  Which
                  Acquired the Security  Being Reported on by the Parent Holding
                  Company.
