Sobieski Bancorp, Inc. And Subsidiary
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial 
Statements

A.      GENERAL.

The accompanying condensed consolidated 
financial statements include the accounts 
of Sobieski Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") 
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sobieski 
Federal Savings and Loan Association of 
South Bend (the "Association").

The condensed consolidated financial 
statements included herein have been 
prepared by the registrant pursuant to the 
rules and regulations of the Securities 
and Exchange Commission.  Certain 
information and footnote disclosures 
normally included in financial statements 
prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles have been 
condensed or omitted pursuant to such 
rules and regulations, although the 
registrant believes that the disclosures 
are adequate to make the information 
presented not misleading.  In the opinion 
of management, the accompanying unaudited 
condensed consolidated financial 
statements contain all adjustments, 
consisting only of normal recurring 
accruals, necessary for a fair 
presentation of the Company's consolidated 
financial position,results of operations 
and cash flows for the interim periods 
presented.  The consolidated results of 
operations for the interim periods 
presented are not necessarily indicative 
of the results that may be expected for 
the full year.  The accompanying unaudited 
condensed consolidated financial 
statements should be read in conjunction 
with the Company's consolidated financial 
statements included in the Company's 
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year 
ended June 30, 1996.                   

B.      CONVERSION AND ISSUANCE OF COMMON 
STOCK.

On October 4, 1994, the Board of Directors 
of the Association adopted a plan of 
conversion to convert the Association from 
a federally chartered mutual savings and 
loan association to a federally chartered 
stock savings and loan association (the 
"Conversion").  The Association obtained 
the required regulatory approval for the 
Conversion in February 1995 and on March 
22, 1995 the plan of conversion was 
approved by a majority of the votes 
eligible to be cast by the members of the 
Association.

Sobieski Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was 
organized as a Delaware corporation in 
December 1994 for the purpose of 
acquiring all of the issued and 
outstanding capital stock of the 
Association issued in the Conversion.

At the time of Conversion, the Association 
established a liquidation account in an 
amount equal to the Association's 
retained earnings as of September 30, 
1994.  The liquidation account will be 
maintained for the benefit of depositors, 
as of the eligibility record date and 
supplemental eligibility record date, 
who continue to maintain their deposits 
with the Association after the Conversion.  
In the event of a complete liquidation 
(and only in such event), each eligible 
depositor will be entitled to receive a 
liquidation distribution from the 
liquidation account, in the proportionate 
amount of the then current adjusted 
balance for deposits then held, before any 
liquidation distribution may be made with 
respect to the stockholders.

Current regulations allow the Company to 
pay dividends on its stock if its 
regulatory capital would not thereby be 
reduced below the amount then required for 
the aforementioned liquidation account.  
Also, capital distribution regulations 
limit the Company's ability to make 
capital distributions which include 
dividends, stock redemptions, repurchases 
and other transactions charged to the 
capital account based on its capital 
level and supervisory condition.  Federal 
regulations also preclude any repurchase 
of the stock of the Company for three 
years after conversion except for 
purchases of qualifying shares of a 
director and repurchases pursuant to an 
offer made on a pro rata basis to all 
stockholders and with prior approval of 
the Office of Thrift Supervision or 
pursuant to an open-market stock 
repurchase program with certain regulatory 
criteria.

C.      ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

	Securities

Effective July 1, 1994, the Association 
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), 
"Accounting for Certain Investments in 
Debt and Equity Securities".  This 
statement modified the financial 
accounting and reporting for investments 
in equity securities that have readily 
determinable fair values and for all 
investments in debt securities.  
Securities are to be classified as either 
held-to-maturity and reported at amortized 
cost, trading and reported at fair value 
(with unrealized holding gains and losses 
included in current earnings), or 
available-for-sale and reported at fair 
value (with unrealized holding gains and 
losses excluded from current earnings and 
reported as a separate component of 
stockholders' equity).  The Association 
had no trading securities at September 
30, 1996.

	Allowance For Loan Losses

Effective July 1, 1995, the Association 
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards ("SFAS") 114, as amended by 
SFAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for 
Impairment of a Loan", which further 
clarifies the accounting treatment, 
classification and valuation of impaired 
loans.  The measurement of an impaired 
loan is generally based on the present 
value of expected future cash flows 
discounted at the historical effective 
interest rate,except that all collateral-
dependent loans are measured for 
impairment based on the fair value of  the 
related collateral. SFAS 114 does not 
apply to large groups of smaller-balance 
homogeneous loans such as residential 
mortgage and consumer installment loans.  
As the Association's loan portfolio is 
comprised substantially of residential 
mortgage and consumer installment loans, 
the adoption of SFAS 114 has had no impact 
on the Association's determination of its 
allowance for loan losses.  The 
Association's nonaccrual loans at 
September 30, 1996 aggregated $90,358.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) per common share is 
calculated by dividing net income (loss) 
for the period by the weighted average 
number of common shares outstanding.  The 
Company accounts for the shares of common 
stock acquired by the ESOP and the 
restricted shares awarded under the RRP in 
accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 
which prescribes that shares held by 
the ESOP and the restricted shares awarded 
under the RRP are not considered in the 
weighted average number of shares 
outstanding until such shares are 
committed for allocation to an ESOP 
participant's individual account or 
vested, in the case of the RRP.  As of 
September 30, 1996, 11,270 shares were 
released or committed to be released to 
ESOP participants and 3,812 shares are 
assumed to be vested under the RRP.  
Accordingly, the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding for the three  
month period ended September 30,1996 were 
822,683.  The weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding for the same 
period in 1995 were 891,958.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion And 
Analysis of Financial Condition And         
Results of Operations

Financial Condition

The Company's total assets increased $1.8 
million during the three months ended 
September 30, 1996. This increase was due 
to increases in cash of $353,000, federal 
funds sold of $913,000 and loans 
receivable of $1.2 million. These 
increases were offset in part by a 
decrease in mortgage-backed securities of 
$627,000.  The increase in loans 
receivable was a result of purchasing 
$777,000 of participation interests 
in commercial loans and increased demand 
for adjustable rate mortgages.

The Company's total liabilities increased 
$2.0 million from $64.8 million at 
June 30, 1996 to $66.8 million at 
September 30, 1996.  The increase was 
primarily attributable to an increase in 
Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $2.7 
million. These advances are being used to 
fund purchases of participation interests 
in commercial loans.  Deposits decreased 
$1.2 million from $61.2 million at June 
30, 1996 to $60 million at September 30, 
1996. The decrease was a result of 
customers seeking higher yielding 
investment alternatives.  

Stockholders' equity decreased by $248,000 
to $13.8 million at September 30, 1996 
compared to $14.1 million at June 30, 1996 
principally as a result of common stock 
repurchases and a one-time charge to 
earnings for the SAIF assessment in the 
amount of $250,100, net of the tax 
benefit.

Results of Operations

General. The Company experienced a net 
loss for the three months ended September 
30, 1996 of $131,000 which was $248,000 
less than net income of $117,000 for the 
same period in 1995.  A one-time 
assessment to recapitalize SAIF was the 
primary reason for the loss during the 
1996 period.

Net Interest Income.  The Company's net 
income is primarily dependent upon net 
interest income.  Net interest income was 
$630,000 for the three month period ended 
September 30, 1996.  The increase of 
$19,300 in net interest income when 
compared to net interest income for the 
comparable period last year was primarily 
a result of increased income earned as a 
result of an increased volume of 
commercial loans and a decrease in  
interest rates paid on deposits.

The weighted average yield earned on the 
Company's loan portfolio for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1996 was 
7.89% compared to 8.00% for the comparable 
period in 1995.

Interest expense for the three month 
period ended September 30, 1996 was 
$780,800 as compared to $763,800 in the 
prior year. The increases in interest 
expense for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 was attributable to   
interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank 
advances, offset by a decrease in rates 
paid on deposits.

Provisions for Loan Losses.  During the 
three months ended September 30, 1996, the 
Company had no provision for loan losses. 

At September 30, 1996, the Company's 
allowance for loan losses totaled 
$200,000 or .37% of net loans receivable 
and 221% of total non-performing loans.

The allowance for loan losses is 
established through a provision for loan 
losses based on management's evaluation of 
the risks inherent in its loan portfolio 
and changes in the nature and volume of 
its loan activity, including those loans 
which are being specifically monitored by 
management.  Such evaluation, which 
includes a review of loans for which full 
collectibility may not be reasonably 
assured, considers among other matters, 
loan classification, the estimated fair 
value of the underlying collateral, 
economic conditions, historical loan loss 
experience, the amount of loans 
outstanding and other factors that 
warrant recognition in providing for an 
adequate allowance for loan losses.  A 
significant factor considered in the 
Company's allowance is its historically 
low level of loans other than one-to-four 
family real estate loans.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion And 
Analysis of Financial Condition And
Results of Operations, Continued.

Although management believes that it uses 
the best information available to 
determine the allowance, unforeseen market 
conditions could result in adjustments and 
net income could be significantly affected 
if 
circumstances differ substantially from 
the assumptions used in making the final 
determination.  Future additions to the 
Company's allowance for loan losses will 
be the result of periodic loan, property 
and collateral reviews and thus cannot be 
predicted  in  advance.  In  addition  
federal regulatory  agencies,  as  an  
integral  part  of   their oversight  
process, periodically review the Company's 
allowance for loan losses.  Such 
agencies may require the Company to 
recognize additions to the allowance based 
upon their judgment of the information 
available to them at the time of their 
examination.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income 
consists primarily of fees and service 
charges on deposit accounts.  Non-interest 
income increased $3,600 from $41,800 for 
the three months ended September 30, 1995 
to $45,400 for the three months ended 
September 30 1996.

Non-Interest Expenses.  Non-interest 
expenses were $892,700 for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996, compared 
to $462,600 for the same period last year, 
reflecting an increases of $430,100.  This 
increase was primarily attributable to the 
one-time special assessment of $414,000 
to recapitalize the SAIF fund.

Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased 
$159,300 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996, primarily as a result 
of tax benefits resulting from the SAIF 
assessment. The Company's effective tax 
rate for the three month period ended 
September 30, 1996 was 39.6%, compared to 
38.5% for the comparable period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal sources of funds 
are deposits and principal and interest 
payments on loans and investments.  While 
scheduled loan repayments and maturing 
investments are relatively predictable, 
deposit flows and early loan prepayments 
are more influenced by interest rates, 
general economic conditions and 
competition.  Additionally, the Company 
may infrequently borrow funds from the 
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis 
("FHLB") or utilize other borrowings of 
funds based on need, comparative costs and 
availability at the time.

Federal regulations have required the 
Company to maintain minimum levels of 
liquid assets.  The required percentage 
has varied from time to time based upon 
the economic conditions and savings flows 
and is currently 5% of net withdrawable 
savings deposits and borrowings payable on 
demand or in one year or less during the 
preceding calendar month.  Liquid assets 
for purposes of this ratio include cash, 
certain time deposits, U.S. Government 
obligations, government agency and other 
securities and obligations generally 
having remaining maturities of less 
than five years.  The Company has 
maintained its liquidity ratio at levels 
in excess of those required.  At the 
September 30, 1996, the Company's 
liquidity ratio was 13.74%.

At September 30, 1996, the Company had 
$5,700,000 in outstanding advances from 
the FHLB.  The Company uses its liquidity 
resources principally to meet ongoing 
commitments, to fund maturing certificates 
of deposit and deposit withdrawals and to 
meet operating expenses.  The Company 
anticipates that it will have sufficient 
funds available to meet current loan 
commitments.  At September 30, 1996, the 
Company had outstanding commitments to 
extend credit which amounted to $1,166,000 
(including $633,000 in available home 
equity lines of credit). Management 
believes that loan repayments and other 
sources of funds will be adequate to meet 
the Company's foreseeable liquidity needs.

At September 30, 1996, the Association had 
tangible capital of $9.2 million or 11.4% 
of adjusted total assets which was $8.0 
million above the minimum capital 
requirement of $1.2 million or 1.5% of 
adjusted total assets.

At September 30, 1996, the Association had 
core capital of $9.2 million or 11.4% of  
adjusted total assets which was $6.8 
million above the minimum capital 
requirement of $2.4 million or 3.0% of 
adjusted total assets.

7
<PAGE>
Item 2.  Management's Discussion And 
Analysis of Financial Condition And
Results of Operations, Concluded.

At September 30, 1996, the Association had 
total risk-based capital of $9.4 million 
and risk-weighted assets of $32.8 million 
or total risk-based capital of 28.6% of 
risk-weighted assets.  This amount was 
$6.8 million above the minimum regulatory 
risk-based capital requirement of $2.6 
million, or 8.0% of risk-weighted assets.

Financial Accounting Developments

In October 1995, Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting 
for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 
123"), was issued. This Statement requires 
the fair value of stock options and other 
stock-based compensation issued to 
employees to either be included as 
compensation expense in the income 
statement, or the proforma effect on net 
income and earnings per share of such 
compensation expense to be disclosed in 
the footnotes to the Company's financial 
statements commencing with the Company's 
1997 fiscal year.  The Company expects to 
adopt SFAS 123 on a disclosure basis only.  
As such, implementation of SFAS 123 is not 
expected to impact the Company's 
consolidated financial statements.

Regulatory Developments

The deposits of savings associations, such 
as the Association, are presently insured 
by the SAIF, which together with the BIF, 
are the two insurance funds administered 
by the FDIC. Financial institutions which 
are members of the BIF are experiencing 
substantially lower deposit insurance 
premiums because the BIF has achieved its 
required level of reserves while the SAIF 
has not yet achieved its required 
reserves.  In order to help eliminate this 
disparity and any competitive disadvantage 
due to disparate deposit insurance premium 
schedules, legislation to recapitalize the 
SAIF was enacted in September 1996.

The legislation requires a special one-
time assessment of approximately 65.7 
cents per $100 of SAIF insured deposits 
held by the Association at March 31, 1995.  
The one-time special assessment resulted 
in  a tax affected charge to earnings of 
approximately $250,000 during the quarter 
ended September 30, 1996.  The legislation 
is intended to fully recapitalize the SAIF 
fund so that commercial bank and thrift 
deposits will be charged the same FDIC 
premiums beginning October 1, 1996.  As of 
such date deposit insurance premiums for 
highly rated institutions, such as the 
Association, have been eliminated.

The Association, however, will continue to 
be subject to an assessment to fund 
repayment of the FICO obligations.  It is 
anticipated that the FICO assessment for 
SAIF insured institutions will be 6.5 
cents per $100 of deposits while BIF 
insured institutions will pay 1.3 cents 
per $100 of deposits until the year 2000 
when the assessment will be imposed at the 
same rate on all FDIC insured 
institutions.  Accordingly, as a result of 
the reduction of the SAIF assessment and 
the resulting FICO assessment, the annual 
after tax decrease in assessment costs is 
expected to be approximately $271,200 
based upon a September 30, 1996 assessment 
base.
