PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
Three Rivers Financial Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, was formed at the direction of First Savings Bank, A Federal
Savings Bank (the "Bank"), for the purpose of becoming a holding company for the
Bank as part of the Bank's conversion from the mutual to the stock form of
organization (the "Conversion"). The Bank completed the Conversion on August 23,
1995, and the Company acquired all of the capital stock of the Bank.
The Company is classified as a unitary savings and loan holding company
subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). As a unitary
savings and loan holding company, the Company is generally not restricted in the
types of activities in which the Company may engage provided the Bank maintains
a specified amount of assets in housing-related investments . To date, the
Company has not conducted any significant activity other than manage its
investment in the Bank and invest the net proceeds retained by the Company in
connection with the Conversion.
BUSINESS OF THE BANK
The Bank was formed in 1886 as a Michigan-chartered mutual savings and
loan association. In 1933, the Bank became a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") of Indianapolis and in 1939 obtained federal deposit insurance.
The Bank converted to a federal mutual savings bank in 1987 and adopted its
present name. The Bank operates through six full service offices in Three Rivers
(two offices), Schoolcraft, and Union, Michigan, and Howe and Middlebury,
Indiana.
The Bank's deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance
Fund ("SAIF") as administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") up to applicable limits for each depositor. The Bank is subject to
comprehensive examination, supervision and regulation by the OTS and the FDIC.
Such regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors.
The Bank is principally engaged in the business of accepting deposits
from the general public through a variety of deposit programs and investing
those deposits together with other funds in originating loans secured by
one-to-four family residential properties located in its market area, loans
secured by multi-family residential and commercial properties, construction
loans, second mortgage loans on single-family residences, home equity lines of
credit, and secured and unsecured consumer loans, including loans secured by
savings accounts.

<PAGE> 3
MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
The Bank considers its primary market area to consist of St. Joseph and
Cass Counties, Michigan, the southwest portion of Kalamazoo County, Michigan, La
Grange County, Indiana, and the eastern portion of Elkhart County, Indiana.
Management believes that most of the Bank's depositors and borrowers are
residents of these counties. The Bank's primary market area has an agricultural
and diversified industrial economic base (which includes the cyclical automobile
industry), with an emphasis on the production sector that includes major
manufacturers of international scope. Moreover, the distribution sector,
primarily in the wholesale and retail trades, constitutes a substantial portion
of the area's economy in terms of product mix, sales receipts, and employment.
Large local employers include American Axle (automotive), Johnson Corporation
(steam specialties), Dutch Housing (manufactured housing), Lear Siegler
(refrigeration equipment) and Coachman Industries (manufactured housing and
recreational vehicles).
The Bank experiences competition both in attracting and retaining
deposits and in the making of mortgage and other loans. Direct competition for
deposits in the Bank's market area comes from one savings institution, two
credit unions, and three commercial banks which have offices in its market area.
Significant competition for the Bank's other deposit products and services come
from money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, and insurance companies. The
primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates and loan origination
fees and the range of services offered by various financial institutions.
Competition for the origination of real estate loans primarily comes from other
financial institutions and mortgage companies.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
General. The Bank's primary lending activity is the origination of
conventional mortgage loans for the purpose of constructing, purchasing, or
refinancing owner-occupied one-to-four family residential properties in its
primary market area. To a lesser extent, the Bank originates multi-family
residential, commercial real estate, and church loans. The Bank also originates
consumer loans.
The Bank has sought to build an interest rate sensitive loan portfolio
by originating adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans and five-year balloon
mortgage loans. The Bank is also involved to a limited extent in the origination
of fixed-rate mortgage loans on owner-occupied, single-family residential
properties. As of June 30, 1998, 78.35% of the mortgage loan portfolio was
comprised of ARM loans. The Bank's ARM loans have an interest rate that adjusts
periodically based on the 1- or 3-year U.S. Treasury index. The interest rates
on these loans have an initial adjustment period of one or three years, with a
maximum adjustment of 2% per year and 6% over the life of the loan. All ARM
loans originated by the Bank are retained in the Bank's loan portfolio.

<PAGE> 6
Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not necessarily
reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of long-term loans is
substantially less than their contractual terms, due to prepayments. In
addition, "due-on-sale" clauses in mortgage loans generally give the Bank the
right to declare a loan due and payable in the event, among other things, that a
borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not
repaid. Due-on-sale clauses are a means of increasing the rate on existing
mortgage loans during periods of rising interest rates and increasing the
turnover of mortgage loans in the Bank's portfolio. The average life of mortgage
loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan market rates are
substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and tends to decrease
when current mortgage loan market rates are substantially lower than rates on
existing mortgage loans.
One-to-Four Family Real Estate Lending. The primary emphasis of the
Bank's lending activity is the origination and, to a lesser extent, the purchase
of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to-four family
residential properties. At June 30, 1998 $43.3 million or 67.8% of the Bank's
gross loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by one-to-four family
residential real properties which were owner-occupied, single-family residences
primarily located in the Bank's market area.
The Bank offers fixed-rate mortgages with 15 to 30 year terms.
Fixed-rate loans are made only on single family, owner occupied homes. The Bank
also originates loans on condominiums, duplex dwellings, and town homes in its
market area. The Bank generally sells its fixed-rate loans in the secondary
market, with servicing retained.
The Bank offers residential adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs"),
all of which are tied to the 1 or 3 year U.S. Treasury index. The ARMs'
adjustment periods are either one or three years, with interest rate adjustments
of not more than 2% per year and a limit on adjustments over the life of the
loan of not more than 6%. The Bank's residential ARM loans are for terms of up
to 30 years, amortized on a monthly basis, with principal and interest due each
month. Residential real estate loans often remain outstanding for significantly
shorter periods than their contractual terms. Borrowers may refinance or prepay
loans at their option without penalty. The Bank offers five and seven year
fixed-rate mortgage products with 30 year amortization schedules that convert to
one year ARMs at the end of the term. The Bank also offers three, five, and
ten-year balloon mortgages with amortization periods of 10 to 30 years. These
loans are considered to be a declining part of the loan portfolio and are not
considered to be a significant risk.
The Bank's lending policies generally limit the maximum loan-to-value
ratio on mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied properties to 95% of the
lesser of the appraised value or purchase price. When the Bank makes a loan in
excess of 80% of the appraised value or purchase price, private mortgage
insurance is required for at least the amount of the loan in excess of 80% of
the appraised value. The maximum loan-to-value ratio on mortgage loans secured
by non-owner-occupied properties and/or used for refinancing purposes is
generally 70%.
The retention of ARM loans in the Bank's portfolio helps reduce the
Bank's exposure to changes in interest rates. However, there are unquantifiable
credit risks resulting from potential increased costs to the borrower as a
result of repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage loans. It is possible that
during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate
mortgage
6
<PAGE> 7
loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest cost to the
borrower. Further, although adjustable-rate mortgage loans allow the Bank to
increase the sensitivity of its asset base to changes in interest rates, the
extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the periodic and lifetime
interest rate adjustment limitations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that yields on the Bank's adjustable-rate mortgages will adjust sufficiently to
compensate for increases, if any, in the Bank's cost of funds. The Bank intends
to continue actively monitoring the interest rate environment, prepayment
activity, interest rate risk and other factors in developing its strategy with
respect to the volume and pricing of its fixed-rate loans and in its lending
activities.
Construction Lending. The Bank engages in construction lending
involving loans to qualified borrowers for construction of one-to-four family
residential and commercial properties, with the intent of such loans converting
to permanent financing upon completion of construction. These properties are
primarily located in the Bank's market area. At June 30, 1998, the Bank's loan
portfolio included $2.5 million of loans secured by properties under
construction, all of which were construction/permanent loans structured to
become permanent loans upon the completion of construction and none of which was
an interim construction loan structured to be repaid in full upon completion of
construction and receipt of permanent financing. All construction loans are
secured by a first lien on the property under construction. Loan proceeds are
disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections warrant.
Construction/permanent loans may have either adjustable or fixed interest rates
and are underwritten in accordance with the same terms and requirements as the
Bank's permanent mortgages. Construction/permanent loans generally provide for
disbursement in stages during a construction period of up to six months, during
which period the borrower is not required to make monthly payments. Accrued
interest must be paid at completion of construction and regular monthly payments
begin one month from the date the loan is converted to permanent financing.
Borrowers must also execute a Construction Loan Agreement with the Bank.
Construction financing generally is considered to involve a higher
degree of risk of loss than one-to-four family residential mortgage lending.
Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of
the initial estimate of the property's value at completion of construction or
development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During
the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost
overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the
Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to
permit completion of the development. If the estimate of value proves to be
inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan,
with a project having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment. The
ability of a developer to sell developed lots or completed dwelling units will
depend on, among other things, demand, pricing, availability of comparable
properties and economic conditions. The Bank has sought to minimize this risk by
limiting construction lending to qualified borrowers in the Bank's market area
and by limiting the aggregate amount of outstanding construction loans.
Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Lending. The multi-family and
commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank have generally been made to
individuals, small businesses and partnerships and have primarily been secured
by first mortgages on retail and office buildings, manufacturing facilities,
churches, and other properties. The Bank benefits from originating such loans
due to the higher origination fees and interest rates, as well as shorter terms
to maturity, than
7
<PAGE> 8
can be obtained on one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. The Bank also
purchases participations in commercial loans originated by other financial
institutions. The Bank's multi-family residential and commercial real estate
loans generally have terms of 20 years or less, have adjustable rates, and have
loan-to-value ratios not exceeding 75%. At June 30, 1998, loans on multi-family
and commercial real estate properties constituted approximately $6.0 million, or
9.33%, of the Bank's gross loan portfolio.
Multi-family and commercial real estate lending entails significant
additional risks as compared to one-to-four family residential lending. Such
loans typically involve large loan amounts to a single borrower or group of
related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on such loans is
typically dependent on the successful operation of the project, and these risks
can be significantly affected by the supply and demand conditions in the market
for commercial property and multi-family residential units. To minimize these
risks, the Bank generally limits itself to its market area and to borrowers with
which it has substantial experience or who are otherwise well known to the Bank.
It is the Bank's current practice to obtain personal guarantees and current
financial statements from all principals obtaining commercial real estate loans.
Substantially all of the properties securing the Bank's commercial real estate
loans are inspected by the Bank's lending personnel before the loan is made. The
Bank also obtains appraisals on each property in accordance with applicable
regulations. If such loans later become delinquent, the Bank contacts and works
with the borrower to resolve the delinquency before initiating foreclosure
proceedings.
Consumer Lending. The Bank originates consumer loans on a secured and
unsecured basis. Consumer loans consist of personal loans, automobile, boat, and
recreational vehicle loans, savings account loans, and home improvement and home
equity loans. At June 30, 1998, consumer loans amounted to $9.9 million, or
15.54%, of the Bank's total loan portfolio.
Consumer lending generally involves more risk as compared to
one-to-four family residential mortgage lending. Loan collections are dependent
on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be
adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy.
Further, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal
and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be
recovered. In addition, repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not
provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a
result of damage, loss or depreciation, and the remaining deficiency often does
not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In
underwriting consumer loans, the Bank considers the borrower's credit history,
an analysis of the borrower's income, expenses, and ability to repay the loan,
and the value of the collateral.
Commercial Business Loans. The Bank offers commercial business loans
which generally include equipment loans with varying terms and working capital
lines of credit secured by inventory and accounts receivable. Working capital
lines of credit are generally renewable and made for a one-year term. Interest
rates on commercial business loans are generally indexed to the prime rate. As
with commercial real estate loans, the Bank generally requires annual financial
statements from its commercial business borrowers and may require personal
guarantees if the borrower is a corporation. At June 30, 1998, commercial
business loans amounted to $2.2 million, or 3.44%, of the Bank's total loan
portfolio. At June 30, 1997, the Bank's largest commercial business loan was a
loan to a manufacturing corporation with an outstanding balance of $1.1 million
which was current.
8
<PAGE> 9
Commercial business lending generally involves greater risk as compared
to one-to-four family residential mortgage lending and involves risks that are
different from those associated with residential, commercial, and multi-family
real estate lending. Although commercial business loans are often collateralized
by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, or other business assets, the
liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default is often not a
sufficient source of repayment because accounts receivable may be uncollectible
and inventories and equipment may be obsolete or of limited use, among other
things. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial business loan depends
primarily on the creditworthiness of the borrower (and any guarantors) and the
successful operation of the commercial enterprise, while liquidation of
collateral is a secondary source of repayment.
Loan Solicitation, Processing, and Commitments. Loan originations are
derived from a number of sources. Residential mortgage, consumer, and other loan
originations primarily come from walk-in customers and referrals by Realtors,
depositors, and borrowers. Loan applications may be taken by the President or a
Vice President of the Bank, and are then submitted to the Bank's Loan Committee
consisting of the President, Vice President of Lending, and the Chief Financial
Officer. Upon receipt of a loan application from a prospective borrower, a
credit report and verifications are ordered to verify specific information
relating to the loan applicant's employment, income, and credit standing. An
appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan is undertaken
by an independent appraiser approved by the Bank.
Under the Bank's lending policy, all loans to customers with
outstanding borrowings in excess of $200,000 must be approved by the Board of
Directors. Loans under $200,000 may be approved by the Loan Committee or
individual officers up to certain authorized amounts as specified in the lending
policy.
Loan applicants are promptly notified of the decision of the Bank.
Interest rates on approved loans are subject to the market rate at the time of
the loan closing. The Bank will grant a 30-day commitment locking in an interest
rate upon the payment of a commitment fee. At June 30, 1998, the Bank had $2.2
million of commitments to originate mortgage loans. It has been management's
experience that substantially all approved loans are funded. Fire and casualty
insurance, as well as flood insurance, are required for all loans as
appropriate, and title insurance is required for loans secured by real estate.
Interest Rates and Loan Fees. Interest rates charged by the Bank on
mortgage loans are primarily determined by competitive loan rates offered in its
market area. Mortgage loan rates reflect factors such as general interest rate
levels, the supply of money available to the savings industry and the demand for
such loans. These factors are in turn affected by general economic conditions,
the monetary policies of the federal government, including the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), the
general supply of money in the economy, tax policies and governmental budget
matters.
In addition to the interest earned on loans, the Bank receives fees in
connection with loan commitments and originations, loan modifications, late
payments and fees for miscellaneous services related to its loans. The Bank
charges a processing fee for its adjustable-rate mortgage loans and
9
<PAGE> 10
fixed-rate mortgage loans. All fee income is recognized by the Bank in
accordance with guidelines established by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 91.
To the extent that loans are originated or acquired for the portfolio,
SFAS No. 91 limits immediate recognition of loan origination or acquisition fees
as revenues and requires that such income (net of certain loan origination or
acquisition costs) be recognized over the estimated life of such loans and
thereby reduces the amount of revenue recognized by the Bank at the time such
loans are originated or acquired. At June 30, 1998, net deferred loan fees
amounted to approximately $446,000, which are being recognized as income over
the estimated lives of the related loans.
Loans-to-One Borrower. Savings institutions generally are subject to
the lending limits applicable to national banks. With certain limited
exceptions, the maximum amount that a savings institution or a national bank may
lend to any borrower (including certain related entities of the borrower) at one
time may not exceed 15% of the unimpaired capital and surplus of the
institution, plus an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus for loans
fully secured by readily marketable collateral. Savings institutions are
additionally authorized to make loans to one borrower, for any purpose, in an
amount not to exceed $500,000 or, by order of the Director of OTS, in an amount
not to exceed the lesser of $30,000,000 or 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus
to develop residential housing, provided: (i) the purchase price of each
single-family dwelling in the development does not exceed $500,000; (ii) the
savings institution is in compliance with its fully phased-in capital
requirements; (iii) the loans comply with applicable loan-to-value requirements,
and (iv) the aggregate amount of loans made under this authority does not exceed
150% of unimpaired capital and surplus. As of June 30, 1998, the Bank was in
compliance with these lending limits.
Non-Performing Loans and Other Problem Assets. Management reviews the
Bank's loans on a regular basis. The policy of the Bank is to place on
nonaccrual status any mortgage loan that has remained delinquent for 90 days or
more, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Consumer
and commercial loans not secured by real estate are charged off, or any expected
loss is specifically reserved against the allowance for loan losses, after the
loans become more than 90 days past due.
The Bank's collection procedures provide that late payment notices are
mailed on the 15th day following the due date of the loan payment. After a loan
becomes 30 days delinquent, the customer will be contacted by the lending
officer with an attempt to collect the delinquent payments or establish a work
out plan to remove the loan from the delinquent status. After a loan becomes 90
days or more past due, management will generally initiate legal proceedings,
unless a plan to resolve the delinquency has been developed with the borrower.
Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of, or in lieu of,
foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold.
When such property is acquired, it is recorded at fair value at the date of
foreclosure. Any required write-down of the loan to its fair value upon
foreclosure is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to
foreclosure, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, if it
is periodically determined that the carrying value of the property exceeds its
estimated net realizable value, the amount of the difference is charged against
operations.

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing
assets at the dates indicated. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the
collection of principal and/or interest becomes doubtful, as discussed above.
Foreclosed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans.

During the year ended June 30, 1998, gross interest income of $29,700
would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis if the
loans had been current throughout the respective periods. Interest recognized in
income on nonaccrual loans during such period amounted to $31,900.
At June 30, 1998, the Bank had approximately $40,000 in loans
considered by management to be potential problem loans that were not reflected
in the preceding table. As to these loans, information about possible credit
problems of borrowers have caused management to have concerns about the ability
of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms. These loans are
subject to increased management attention and their classification is reviewed
on a quarterly basis.

Asset Classification and Allowance for Loan Losses. Federal regulations
require savings associations to review their assets on a regular basis and to
classify them as "substandard," "doubtful," or "loss," if warranted. Assets
classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish
general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified
loss, the insured institution must either establish specified allowances for
loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss,
or charge off such amount. An asset which does not currently warrant
classification but which possesses weaknesses or deficiencies deserving close
attention is required to be designated as "special mention." Currently, general
loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets
classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an
institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan
losses do not qualify as regulatory capital. See "Regulation--Regulation of the
Bank--Regulatory Capital Requirements." OTS examiners may disagree with the
insured institution's classifications and amounts reserved. If an institution
does not agree with an examiner's classification of an asset, it may appeal this
determination to the OTS. Management of the Bank reviews assets on a monthly
basis, and at the end of each quarter prepares an asset classification listing,
which is reviewed by the Board of Directors. At June 30, 1998, management had
$262,000 assets classified as special mention, $523,000 assets classified as
substandard and no assets classified as doubtful or loss. For additional
information, see "Non-Performing Loans and Other Problem Assets." See also
"Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Lending."
In originating loans, the Bank recognizes that credit losses will be
experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the
type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of
the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the
quality of the security for the loan. It is management's policy to maintain an
adequate allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, the Bank's past
loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay the estimated value
of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. The Bank
increases its allowance for loan losses by charging provisions for loan losses
against the Bank's income and decreases the allowance by charge-offs (net of
recoveries).
12
<PAGE> 13
General allowances are made pursuant to management's assessment of
inherent risk in the Bank's loan portfolio as a whole. Specific allowances are
provided for individual loans when ultimate collection is considered
questionable by management after reviewing the current status of loans which are
contractually past due and considering the net realizable value of the security
for the loan. Management continues to actively monitor the Bank's asset quality
and to charge off loans against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate
or to provide specific loss reserves when necessary. Although management
believes it has sufficient information available to make determinations with
respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if
economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the
assumptions used in making the initial determinations.
The Bank was last examined by the OTS in October 1997 and its loan loss
allowance was considered by the OTS to be adequate as of that time. While the
Bank believes it has established its existing allowances for loan losses to a
level considered adequate based on its evaluation of the quality of the loan
portfolio, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank's
loan portfolio during future examinations, will not request the Bank to increase
its allowance for loan losses, thereby negatively affecting the Bank's financial
condition and earnings.
13
<PAGE> 14
The decrease in the ratio of the allowance to non-performing loans
relates primarily to one residential real estate loan considered nonperforming
at June 30, 1998 but not at June 30, 1997 The Company has secured a first lien
on the property and no loss is expected The allowance for loan losses has
remained stable from 1997 to 1998 After considering a variety of factors,
including but not limited to the facts that the composition of the loan
portfolio has remained relatively unchanged and that there has not been a
significant change in classified loans, management did not consider an increase
to the allowance for losses necessary during 1998.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
GENERAL. The Bank invests in securities in order to diversify its
assets, manage cash flow, obtain yield and maintain the minimum levels of liquid
assets required by regulatory authorities. Such investments generally include
federal funds, federal government and agency securities and qualified deposits
in other financial institutions. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, the Bank
classifies securities as either held to maturity or available for sale. For
further information, see Notes 1 and 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES. The Bank is permitted under federal law to make
certain investments, including investments in securities issued by various
federal agencies and state and municipal governments, deposits at the FHLB of
Indianapolis, certificates of deposit in federally insured institutions, certain
bankers' acceptances and federal funds. The Bank may also invest, subject to
certain limitations, in commercial paper having one of the two highest
investment ratings of a nationally recognized credit rating agency, and certain
other types of corporate debt securities and mutual funds. Federal regulations
require the Bank to maintain an investment in FHLB of Indianapolis stock and a
minimum amount of liquid assets which may be invested in cash and specified
securities. From time to time, the OTS adjusts the percentage of liquid assets
that savings institutions are required to maintain. For additional information,
see "Regulation--Regulation of the Bank--Liquid Assets."
15
<PAGE> 16
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. The Bank invests in mortgage-backed and
related securities, including mortgage participation certificates which are
insured or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and government sponsored
enterprises and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate
mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"). Mortgage-backed securities represent a
participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages,
the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the mortgage
originators, through intermediaries (generally U.S. government agencies and
government sponsored enterprises) that pool and repackage the participation
interests in the form of securities, to investors such as the Bank. Such U.S.
Government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, which guarantee the
payment of principal and interest to investors, primarily include the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), the Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA"), and the Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA").
Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal
amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans
with interest rates that are within a range and have varying maturities. The
characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages (i.e., fixed-rate or
adjustable-rate), as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate
holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security thus approximates
the life of the underlying mortgages.
The Bank's mortgage-backed securities include CMOs, which include
securities issued by entities which have qualified under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), as REMICs. CMOs and REMICs (collectively
CMOs) have been developed in response to investor concerns regarding the
uncertainty of cash flows associated with the prepayment option of the
underlying mortgagor and are typically issued by government agencies,
government sponsored enterprises and special purpose entities, such as trusts,
corporations or partnerships, established by financial institutions or other
similar institutions. A CMO can be collateralized by loans or securities which
are insured or guaranteed by FNMA, FHLMC, or GNMA. In contrast to pass-through
mortgage-backed securities, in which cash flow is received pro rata by all
security holders, the cash flow from the mortgages underlying a CMO is
segmented and paid in accordance with a predetermined priority to investors
holding various CMO classes. Consequently, the maturity of a particular CMO
class may be substantially less than the contractual maturity of the underlying
security. By allocating the principal and interest cash flows from the
underlying collateral among the separate CMO classes, different classes of
securities are created, each with its own stated maturity, estimated average
life, coupon rate and prepayment characteristics.
Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the quality of the Bank's
assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees that back them. However,
mortgage-backed securities are subject to interest rate and prepayment risk. In
that regard, at June 30, 1998, the Bank's mortgage-backed securities portfolio
included net unrealized gains of $110,000. Although the Bank has the ability and
the intention to hold such securities to maturity, the Bank's net interest
income may be adversely affected as a result of such securities carrying below
market rates of interest.

The Bank's securities portfolio at June 30, 1998 contained no
securities of any issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of the
Bank's shareholders' equity, excluding those securities issued by the U.S.
Government or its agencies.
DEPOSIT ACTIVITY AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS
General. Deposits are the primary source of the Bank's funds for
lending and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, the Bank derives
funds from loan principal repayments, maturing investment, and mortgage-backed
securities and interest payments. Loan repayments and interest payments are a
relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are
significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions.
The Bank also has the ability to obtain advances from the FHLB as an additional
source of funds.
Deposits. Deposits are attracted principally from within the Bank's
primary market area through the offering of a variety of deposit instruments,
including passbook and statement savings accounts and certificates of deposit
ranging in terms from three months to five years. Deposit account terms vary,
principally on the basis of the minimum balance required, the time periods the
funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. The Bank also offers
individual retirement accounts ("IRAs").
The Bank's policies are designed primarily to attract deposits from
local residents rather than to solicit deposits from areas outside its primary
market. The Bank does not accept deposits from brokers due to the volatility and
rate sensitivity of such deposits. Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service
fees, and withdrawal penalties are established by the Bank on a periodic basis.
Determination of rates and terms are predicated upon funds acquisition and
liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals, and federal
regulations.
The following table indicates the amount of the Bank's certificates of
deposit of $100,000 or more by time remaining until maturity as of June 30,
1998.

</TABLE>
The Bank does not offer premiums for deposits, does not generally offer
interest rates on deposits which exceed the average rates offered by other
financial institutions in its market area, and usually does not institute
promotional programs that result in increased rates being paid on deposits. The
Bank does, however, offer above-average rates on certificates of deposit if
management believes that the deposit will entail administrative savings by the
Bank as well as contribute to the stability of the Bank's core deposit base.
These strategies are consistent with management's goals of keeping the Bank's
cost of funds at reduced levels and maintaining slow and measurable growth for
the Bank.
19
<PAGE> 20
BORROWINGS
Savings deposits historically have been the primary source of funds for
the Bank's lending and investment activities and for its general business
activities. The Bank is authorized, however, to use advances from the FHLB of
Indianapolis to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit
withdrawal requirements. Advances from the FHLB are secured under a blanket
collateral agreement by the Bank's stock in the FHLB, one to four family
residential mortgage loans contained in the Bank's loan portfolio, and a portion
of the Bank's investment and mortgage-backed securities.
The FHLB of Indianapolis functions as a central reserve bank providing
credit for savings institutions and certain other member financial institutions.
As a member, the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is
authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of
its home mortgages and other assets (principally, securities which are
obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States) provided certain standards
related to creditworthiness have been met. See "Regulation--Regulation of the
Bank--Federal Home Loan Bank System."
The following table sets forth certain information as to FHLB advances

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES
The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank is
permitted to invest an amount equal to 2% of its assets in subsidiaries with an
additional investment of 1% of assets where such investment serves primarily
community, inner-city, and community development purposes. Under such
limitations, as of June 30, 1998 the Bank was authorized to invest up to
approximately $3.0 million in the stock of or loans to subsidiaries including
the additional 1% investment for community inner-city and community development
purposes. Institutions meeting regulatory capital requirements, such as the
Bank, may invest up to 50% of their regulatory capital in conforming first
mortgage loans to subsidiaries in which they own 10% or more of the capital
stock.
The Bank's only service corporation is Alpha Financial, Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the state of Michigan in 1975. The
Bank's investment in Alpha Financial, Inc. was $79,000 at June 30, 1998. The
assets of the service corporation consist of cash and stock in MIMLIC Life
Insurance Company, which reinsures credit life insurance policies written on the
lives of borrowers of various financial institutions.
EMPLOYEES
Substantially all of the activities of the Company are conducted by the
Bank. Therefore, as of June 30, 1998, the Company did not have any salaried
employees. As of June 30, 1998, the Bank had 43 full-time employees and four
part-time employee, none of whom was represented by a collective bargaining
agreement.
REGULATION
Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws that relate to
the regulation of the Company and the Bank. The description does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and
regulations.
REGULATION OF THE COMPANY
GENERAL. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company
subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. As such, the Company is required to
register and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and
examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over the
Company and its non-savings association subsidiaries, which also permits the OTS
to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to
the subsidiary savings association. This regulation and oversight is intended
primarily for the protection of the depositors of the Bank and not for the
benefit of stockholders of the Company.
QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST. As a unitary savings and loan holding
company, the Company generally is not subject to activity restrictions, provided
the Bank satisfies the Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") test or meets the
definition of domestic building and loan association pursuant to section 7701 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). If the Company
acquires control of another savings association as a separate subsidiary, it
would become a multiple savings
21
<PAGE> 22
and loan holding company, and the activities of the Company and any of its
subsidiaries (other than the Bank or any other SAIF-insured savings association)
would become subject to restrictions applicable to bank holding companies unless
such other associations each also qualify as a QTL or domestic building and loan
association and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition. See "- Regulation of
the Bank - Qualified Thrift Lender Test."
RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITIONS. The Company must obtain approval from the
OTS before acquiring control of any other SAIF-insured association. Such
acquisitions are generally prohibited if they result in a multiple savings and
loan holding company controlling savings associations in more than one state.
However, such interstate acquisitions are permitted based on specific state
authorization or in a supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.
Federal law generally provides that no "person," acting directly or
indirectly or through or in concert with one or more other persons, may acquire
"control," as that term is defined in OTS regulations, of a federally insured
savings institution without giving at least 60 days written notice to the OTS
and providing the OTS an opportunity to disapprove the proposed acquisition. In
addition, no company may acquire control of such an institution without prior
OTS approval. These provisions also prohibit, among other things, any director
or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any individual who owns or
controls more than 25% of the voting shares of a savings and loan holding
company, from acquiring control of any savings association not a subsidiary of
the savings and loan holding company, unless the acquisition is approved by the
OTS.
AFFILIATE RESTRICTIONS. Transactions between a savings association and
its "affiliates" are subject to quantitative and qualitative restrictions under
Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. Affiliates of a savings
association include, among other entities, the savings association's holding
company and companies that are under common control with the savings
association.
In general, Sections 23A and 23B and OTS regulations issued in
connection therewith limit the extent to which a savings association or its
subsidiaries may engage in certain "covered transactions" with affiliates to an
amount equal to 10% of the association's capital and surplus, in the case of
covered transactions with any one affiliate, and to an amount equal to 20% of
such capital and surplus, in the case of covered transactions with all
affiliates. In addition, a savings association and its subsidiaries may engage
in covered transactions and certain other transactions only on terms and under
circumstances that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the
savings association or its subsidiary, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies. A "covered transaction" is
defined to include a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate; a purchase of
investment securities issued by an affiliate; a purchase of assets from an
affiliate, with certain exceptions; the acceptance of securities issued by an
affiliate as collateral for a loan or extension of credit to any party; or the
issuance of a guarantee, acceptance, or letter of credit on behalf of an
affiliate.
In addition, under the OTS regulations, a savings association may not
make a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate unless the affiliate is
engaged only in activities permissible for bank holding companies; a savings
association may not purchase or invest in securities of an affiliate other than
shares of a subsidiary; a savings association and its subsidiaries may not
purchase a low-quality asset from an affiliate; and covered transactions and
certain other transactions between a savings
22
<PAGE> 23
association or its subsidiaries and an affiliate must be on terms and conditions
that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices. With certain
exceptions, each loan or extension of credit by a savings association to an
affiliate must be secured by collateral with a market value ranging from 100% to
130% (depending on the type of collateral) of the amount of the loan or
extension of credit.
The OTS regulation generally excludes all non-bank and non-savings
association subsidiaries of savings associations from treatment as affiliates,
except to the extent that the OTS or the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") decides to treat such subsidiaries
as affiliates. The regulation also requires savings associations to make and
retain records that reflect affiliate transactions in reasonable detail, and
provides that certain classes of savings associations may be required to give
the OTS prior notice of affiliate transactions.
REGULATION OF THE BANK
GENERAL. As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings bank, the Bank
is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. Lending activities
and other investments of the Bank must comply with various statutory and
regulatory requirements. The Bank is also subject to certain reserve
requirements of the Federal Reserve Board.
The OTS, in conjunction with the FDIC, regularly examines the Bank and
prepares reports for the consideration of the Bank's Board of Directors on any
deficiencies found in the operations of the Bank. The relationship between the
Bank and depositors and borrowers is also regulated by federal and state laws,
especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and
content of mortgage documents utilized by the Bank.
The Bank must file reports with the OTS and the FDIC concerning its
activities and financial condition, in addition to obtaining regulatory
approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with or
acquisitions of other savings institutions. This regulation and supervision
establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can
engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors.
The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive
discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and
examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of
assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory
purposes. Any change in such regulations, whether by the OTS, the FDIC, or the
Congress could have a material adverse impact on the Company, the Bank, and
their operations.
INSURANCE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured
by the SAIF to the maximum of $100,000 permitted by law. Insurance of deposits
may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in
unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue
operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or
condition imposed by the FDIC or the institution's primary regulator.
The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits
based on the risk a particular institution poses to its deposit insurance fund.
Under this system, for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, SAIF members paid
within a range of 23 cents to 31 cents per $100 of domestic deposits, depending
upon the institution's risk classification. This risk classification is based on
an
23
<PAGE> 24
institution's capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment. Pursuant to the
Economic Growth and Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (the "Act"), the FDIC
imposed a special assessment on SAIF members to capitalize the SAIF at the
designated reserve level of 1.25% as of October 1, 1996. Based on the Bank's
deposits as of March 31, 1995, the date for measuring the amount of the special
assessment pursuant to the Act, the Bank paid a special assessment of $411,000
on November 27, 1996 to recapitalize the SAIF. This expense was recognized
during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
Pursuant to the Act, the Bank pays, in addition to its normal deposit
insurance premium as a member of the SAIF ranging from 0 to 27 basis points as
of October 1, 1996, an amount equal to approximately 6.4 basis points toward the
retirement of the Financing Corporation bonds ("Fico Bonds") issued in the 1980s
to assist in the recovery of the savings and loan industry. Members of the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF"), by contrast, pay, in addition to their normal deposit
insurance premium, approximately 1.3 basis points. Under the Act, the FDIC also
is not permitted to establish SAIF assessment rates that are lower than
comparable BIF assessment rates. Beginning no later than January 1, 2000, the
rate paid to retire the Fico Bonds will be equal for members of the BIF and the
SAIF. The Act also provides for the merging of the BIF and the SAIF by January
1, 1999 provided there are no financial institutions still chartered as savings
associations at that time. Should the insurance funds be merged before January
1, 2000, the rate paid by all members of this new fund to retire the Fico Bonds
would be equal.
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. OTS capital regulations require
savings associations to meet three capital standards: (1) tangible capital equal
to 1.5% of total adjusted assets, (2) leverage capital (core capital) equal to
3% of total adjusted assets, and (3) risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of total
risk-based assets. The Bank must meet each of these standards in order to be
deemed in compliance with OTS capital requirements. In addition, the OTS may
require a savings association to maintain capital above the minimum capital
levels.
Under OTS regulations, a savings bank with a greater than "normal"
level of interest rate exposure must deduct an interest rate risk ("IRR")
component in calculating its total capital for purposes of determining whether
it meets its risk-based capital requirement. Interest rate exposure is measured,
generally, as the decline in an institution's net portfolio value that would
result from a 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates
(whichever would result in lower net portfolio value), divided by the estimated
economic value of the savings association's assets. The interest rate risk
component to be deducted from total capital is equal to one-half of the
difference between an institution's measured exposure and "normal" IRR exposure
(which is defined as 2%), multiplied by the estimated economic value of the
institution's assets. In August 1995, the OTS indefinitely delayed
implementation of its IRR regulation. Based on information voluntarily supplied
to the OTS, at June 30, 1998, the Bank would not have been required to deduct an
IRR component in calculating total risk-based capital had the IRR component of
the capital regulations been in effect.
These capital requirements are viewed as minimum standards by the OTS,
and most institutions are expected to maintain capital levels well above the
minimum. In addition, the OTS regulations provide that minimum capital levels
higher than those provided in the regulations may be established by the OTS for
individual savings associations, upon a determination that the savings
association's capital is or may become inadequate in view of its circumstances.
The OTS regulations provide that higher individual minimum regulatory capital
requirements may be appropriate in
24
<PAGE> 25
circumstances where, among others: (1) a savings association has a high degree
of exposure to interest rate risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, concentration
of credit risk, certain risks arising from nontraditional activities, or similar
risks or a high proportion of off-balance sheet risk; (2) a savings association
is growing, either internally or through acquisitions, at such a rate that
supervisory problems are presented that are not dealt with adequately by OTS
regulations; and (3) a savings association may be adversely affected by
activities or condition of its holding company, affiliates, subsidiaries, or
other persons, or savings associations with which it has significant business
relationships. The Bank is not subject to any such individual minimum regulatory
capital requirement.
As shown below, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all minimum
regulatory capital requirements applicable to it as of June 30, 1998.

A savings bank's failure to maintain capital at or above the minimum
capital requirements may be deemed an unsafe and unsound practice and may
subject the savings bank to enforcement actions and other proceedings. Any
savings bank not in compliance with all of its capital requirements is required
to submit a capital plan that addresses the bank's need for additional capital
and meets certain additional requirements. While the capital plan is being
reviewed by the OTS, the savings bank must certify, among other things, that it
will not, without the approval of its appropriate OTS Regional
25
<PAGE> 26
Director, grow beyond net interest credited or make capital distributions. If a
savings bank's capital plan is not approved, the savings bank will become
subject to additional growth and other restrictions. In addition, the OTS,
through a capital directive or otherwise, may restrict the ability of a savings
bank not in compliance with the capital requirements to pay dividends and
compensation, and may require such a bank to take one or more of certain
corrective actions, including, without limitation: (i) increasing its capital to
specified levels, (ii) reducing the rate of interest that may be paid on savings
accounts, (iii) limiting receipt of deposits to those made to existing accounts,
(iv) ceasing issuance of new accounts of any or all classes or categories except
in exchange for existing accounts, (v) ceasing or limiting the purchase of loans
or the making of other specified investments, and (vi) limiting operational
expenditures to specified levels.
The Home Owners' Loan Act ("HOLA") permits savings banks not in
compliance with the OTS capital standards to seek an exemption from certain
penalties or sanctions for noncompliance. Such an exemption will be granted only
if certain strict requirements are met, and must be denied under certain
circumstances. If an exemption is granted by the OTS, the savings bank still may
be subject to enforcement actions for other violations of law or unsafe or
unsound practices or conditions.
PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION. The prompt corrective action regulation of
the OTS, requires certain mandatory actions and authorizes certain other
discretionary actions to be taken by the OTS against a savings bank that falls
within certain undercapitalized capital categories specified in the regulation.
The regulation establishes five categories of capital classification:
"well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized." Under the regulation, the
risk-based capital, leverage capital, and tangible capital ratios are used to
determine an institution's capital classification. At June 30, 1998, the Bank
met the capital requirements of a "well capitalized" institution under
applicable OTS regulations.
In general, the prompt corrective action regulation prohibits an
insured depository institution from declaring any dividends, making any other
capital distribution, or paying a management fee to a controlling person if,
following the distribution or payment, the institution would be within any of
the three undercapitalized categories. In addition, adequately capitalized
institutions may accept Brokered Deposits only with a waiver from the FDIC and
are subject to restrictions on the interest rates that can be paid on such
deposits. Undercapitalized institutions may not accept, renew, or roll-over
Brokered Deposits.
If the OTS determines that an institution is in an unsafe or unsound
condition, or if the institution is deemed to be engaging in an unsafe and
unsound practice, the OTS may, if the institution is well capitalized,
reclassify it as adequately capitalized; if the institution is adequately
capitalized but not well capitalized, require it to comply with restrictions
applicable to undercapitalized institutions; and, if the institution is
undercapitalized, require it to comply with certain restrictions applicable to
significantly undercapitalized institutions.
CAPITAL DISTRIBUTION LIMITATIONS. OTS regulations impose limitations
upon all capital distributions by savings institutions, such as cash dividends,
payments to repurchase or otherwise
26
<PAGE> 27
acquire its shares, payments to shareholders of another institution in a
cash-out merger and other distributions charged against capital. In general, the
Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its capital stock if the effect
thereof would cause the Bank to fail to meet one of its regulatory capital
requirements.
Under the regulation, an association that meets its fully phased-in
capital requirements both before and after a proposed distribution and has not
been notified by the OTS that it is in need of more than normal supervision (a
"Tier 1 association") may, after prior notice to but without the approval of the
OTS, make capital distributions during a calendar year up to the higher of: (i)
100% of its net income to date during the calendar year plus the amount that
would reduce by one-half its surplus capital ratio at the beginning of the
calendar year, or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four-quarter
period. A Tier 1 association may make capital distributions in excess of the
above amount if it gives notice to the OTS and the OTS does not object to the
distribution. A savings association that meets its regulatory capital
requirements both before and after a proposed distribution but does not meet its
fully phased-in capital requirement (a "Tier 2 association") is authorized,
after prior notice to the OTS but without OTS approval, to make capital
distributions in an amount up to 75% of its net income over the most recent
four-quarter period, taking into account all prior distributions during the same
period. Any distribution in excess of this amount must be approved in advance by
the OTS. A savings association that does not meet its current regulatory capital
requirements (a "Tier 3 association") cannot make any capital distribution
without prior approval from the OTS, unless the capital distribution is
consistent with the terms of a capital plan approved by the OTS.
At June 30, 1998, the Bank qualified as a Tier 1 association for
purposes of the capital distribution rule. The OTS may prohibit a proposed
capital distribution that would otherwise be permitted if the OTS determines
that the distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
The OTS has proposed to amend its capital distribution regulation to
conform its requirements to the OTS prompt corrective action regulation. Under
the proposed regulation, an institution that would remain at least adequately
capitalized after making a capital distribution, and that was owned by a holding
company, would be required to provide notice to the OTS prior to making a
capital distribution. "Troubled" associations and undercapitalized associations
would be allowed to make capital distributions only by filing an application and
receiving OTS approval, and such applications would be approved under certain
limited circumstances.
THRIFT CHARTER. Congress has been considering legislation in various
forms that would require, among other things, federal thrifts, such as the Bank,
to convert their charters to national or state bank charters. In the absence of
appropriate "grandfather" provisions, legislation eliminating the thrift charter
could have a material adverse effect on the Bank and the Company because, among
other things, the regulatory, capital, and accounting treatment for national and
state banks and savings associations differs in certain significant respects.
Also, under current law, unitary savings and loan holding companies are
permitted to engage in activities that would not be permitted for a bank holding
company. The Company cannot determine whether, or in what form, such legislation
may eventually be enacted and there can be no assurance that any legislation
that is enacted would contain adequate grandfather rights for the Bank and the
Company.
27

LOANS-TO-ONE BORROWER. See "1. Business - Lending Activities -
Loans-to-One Borrower."
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT AND THE FAIR LENDING LAWS. Savings
associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA")
and related regulations of the OTS to help meet the credit needs of their
communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. In addition, the
Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act (together, the "Fair
Lending Laws") prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices
on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. An institution's
failure to comply with the provisions of CRA could, at a minimum, result in
regulatory restrictions on its activities and the denial of certain
applications, and failure to comply with the Fair Lending Laws could result in
enforcement actions by the OTS, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and
the Department of Justice.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") system. Among other benefits, each FHLB serves as a reserve
or central bank for its members within its assigned region. Each FHLB is
financed primarily from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system.
Each FHLB makes available to members loans (i.e., advances) in accordance with
the policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the
individual FHLB.
As a member, the Bank is required to own capital stock in an FHLB in an
amount equal to the greater of: (i) 1% of its aggregate outstanding principal
amount of its residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts and similar
obligations at the beginning of each calendar year, (ii) 0.3% of total assets,
or (iii) 5% of its FHLB advances (borrowings). At June 30, 1998, the Bank had
$1.2 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.
LIQUID ASSETS. Under OTS regulations, a savings association is required
to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (including cash, certain
time deposits and savings accounts, bankers' acceptances, certain government
obligations, and certain other investments) in each calendar quarter of not less
than 4% of either (1) its liquidity base (consisting of certain net withdrawable
accounts plus short-term borrowings) as of the end of the preceding calendar
quarter, or (2) the average daily balance of its liquidity base during the
preceding quarter. This liquidity requirement may be changed from time to time
by the OTS to any amount between 4.0% to 10.0%, depending upon certain factors,
including economic conditions and savings flows of all savings associations. The
Bank maintains liquid assets in compliance with these regulations. Monetary
penalties may be imposed upon an institution for violations of liquidity
requirements.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. The Federal Reserve Board requires all
depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified
levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW, and Super
NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. The balances maintained
to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be
used to satisfy the liquidity requirements that are imposed by the OTS. At June
30, 1998, the Bank was in compliance with these requirements.
QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST. Savings institutions must meet a
qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test, which test may be met either by
maintaining a specified level of assets in qualified thrift investments as
specified in HOLA or by meeting the definition of a "domestic building and loan
28
<PAGE> 29
association" in section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). If the Bank maintains an appropriate level of certain specified
investments (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including
certain mortgage-related securities) and otherwise qualifies as a QTL or a
domestic building and loan association, it will continue to enjoy full borrowing
privileges from the FHLB. The required percentage of investments under HOLA is
65% of assets while the Code requires investments of 60% of assets. An
association must be in compliance with the QTL test or definition of domestic
building and loan association on a monthly basis in nine out of every 12 months.
Associations that fail to meet the QTL test will generally be prohibited from
engaging in any activity not permitted for both a national bank and a savings
association. As of June 30, 1998, the Bank was in compliance with its QTL
requirement and met the definition of a domestic building and loan association.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. In May 1997, the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council issued an interagency statement to the chief executive
officers of all federally supervised financial institutions regarding year 2000
project management awareness. It is expected that unless financial institutions
address the technology issues relating to the coming of the year 2000, there
will be major disruptions in the operations of financial institutions. The
statement provides guidance to financial institutions, providers of data
services, and all examining personnel of the federal banking agencies regarding
the year 2000 problem. The federal banking agencies intend to conduct year 2000
compliance examinations, and the failure to implement a year 2000 program may be
seen by the federal banking agencies as an unsafe and unsound banking practice.
The OTS has recently established an examination procedure which contains three
categories of ratings: "Satisfactory," "Needs Improvement," and
"Unsatisfactory." Institutions that receive a year 2000 rating of Unsatisfactory
may be subject to formal enforcement action, supervisory agreements, cease and
desist orders, civil money penalties, or the appointment of a conservator. In
addition, federal banking agencies will be taking into account year 2000
compliance programs when analyzing applications and may deny an application
based on year 2000 related issues. The Company is currently addressing the year
2000 issue, as more fully discussed in the Company's Annual Report to
Stockholders for the Year Ended June 30, 1998 under the heading "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Year
2000."

MESSAGE TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
On behalf of the Board of Directors, officers and employees, it is a pleasure
to provide you with the 1998 Annual Report of Three Rivers Financial
Corporation (the "Company"), the holding company for First Savings Bank (the
"Bank"). The year was prosperous for our Company. We experienced expansion of
our retail network through the continued emphasis on our community banking
strategy.
This past year reflected both growth and change for our Company. The Bank
opened offices in Howe, Indiana in February 1998 and Middlebury, Indiana in
June 1998. The new offices are a natural extension of our service area and
will provide growth and future income for the Company. It is anticipated that
the investment in these two offices will have a negative impact on earnings for
the next twelve to twenty four months. During the past year we also completed
major remodeling to our Union, Michigan office. The investment in these
offices continues the Company's emphasis on community banking.
For the year ended June 30, 1998, the Company reported net income of $822,000.
This figure compares favorably to the prior year's net income of $510,000,
which included a net after tax SAIF charge of approximately $270,000.
Total assets as of June 30, 1998 were $98.9 million compared to $95.1 million
as of June 30, 1997. Total deposits were $61.5 million as of June 30, 1998
compared to the prior year's balance of $60.3 million. As of June 30, 1998,
net loans were $62.1 million compared to $61.8 million as of June 30, 1997.
The slight increase in loans was achieved despite the sale of a large number of
mortgages to the secondary market because of the low interest rate environment.
The Company has been working on the Year 2000 issue for over one year. We have
developed and are currently implementing a plan to address this significant
date change. Management expects this issue will have no adverse effect on our
operations and service to customers. The Company, however, is dependent on
outside service providers whose readiness for the Year 2000 may affect the
Company.
The Company repurchased 41,227 shares of its common stock during the past year
which resulted in total shares outstanding of 783,313 as of June 30, 1998. I
am sure you are aware that our quarterly dividend was increased to $.11 per
share in January of this year.
We again express thanks to our shareholders. We recognize the valuable role
you have in our Company. The Board of Directors and management of the Company
recognize our responsibility to provide income through the payment of dividends
and growth in your share value over time. The report that follows provides
more details about our past year's performance.

BUSINESS OF THREE RIVERS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Three Rivers Financial Corporation, a unitary savings and loan holding company
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware ("TRFC" or "the Company"),
owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of First Savings Bank, a
Federal savings bank, chartered under the laws of the United States ("First
Savings Bank" or the "Bank"). In August 1995, TRFC acquired all of the common
stock issued by First Savings Bank upon its conversion from a mutual savings
bank to a stock savings bank (the "Conversion"). TRFC's activities have been
limited primarily to holding the common stock of First Savings Bank.
Serving the Three Rivers, Michigan area since 1886, First Savings Bank conducts
business from its main office at 123 Portage Avenue in Three Rivers and from
its full-service branches located in Three Rivers, Schoolcraft and Union,
Michigan, and Howe and Middlebury, Indiana. The Howe and Middlebury branches
began operation in 1998. First Savings Bank is engaged principally in making
loans secured by residential real estate. First Savings Bank also originates
consumer loans, loans secured by multi-family residential and commercial
properties, commercial business loans, construction loans, second mortgages on
single-family residences, home equity lines of credit and loans secured by
savings accounts. First Savings Bank also invests in U.S. Government and agency
obligations, obligations of states and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed
securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and other investments
permitted by applicable law. Funds for lending and other investment activities
are obtained primarily from deposits, loan principal repayments and borrowings
from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Indianapolis.
As a savings and loan holding company, TRFC is subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision of the United
States Department of Treasury (the "OTS"). As a savings bank chartered under
the laws of the United States, First Savings Bank is subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the OTS and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"). Deposits in First Savings Bank are insured up to
applicable limits by the FDIC. First Savings Bank is also a member of the FHLB
of Indianapolis.
MARKET PRICE OF TRFC'S COMMON SHARES AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
As of September 15, 1998, there were 783,313 common shares of TRFC outstanding
held by approximately 265 shareholders of record. The following table sets
forth the high and low sales prices and dividends declared per share of common
stock for the periods indicated. The prices do not include retail markups,
markdowns or commissions. TRFC's common shares are listed on the American
Stock Exchange ("AMEX"), under the symbol "THR".

Dividend payment decisions are made with consideration of a variety of factors
including earnings, financial condition, market considerations and regulatory
restrictions.

The income of TRFC consists of dividends which may periodically be declared and
paid by the Board of Directors of First Savings Bank on the common shares of
First Savings Bank held by TRFC and earnings on the net proceeds retained by
TRFC from the sale of TRFC's common shares in connection with the Conversion.
In addition to certain federal income tax considerations, OTS regulations
impose limitations on the payment of dividends and other capital distributions
by savings associations. Under OTS regulations applicable to converted savings
associations, First Savings Bank is not permitted to pay a cash dividend on its
common shares if First Savings Bank's regulatory capital would, as a result of
the payment of such dividend, be reduced below the amount required for the
Liquidation Account (the account established for the purpose of granting a
limited priority claim on the assets of First Savings Bank in the event of a
complete liquidation to those members of First Savings Bank before the
Conversion who maintain a savings account at First Savings Bank after the
Conversion) or applicable regulatory capital requirements prescribed by the
OTS.
OTS regulations applicable to all savings institutions provide that a savings
institution which immediately prior to, and on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to, a proposed capital distribution has total capital (as defined by OTS
regulations) that is equal to or greater than the amount of its capital
requirements is generally permitted without OTS approval (but subsequent to 30
days' prior notice to the OTS) to make capital distributions, including
dividends, during a calendar year in an amount not to exceed the greater of (1)
100% of its net earnings to date during the calendar year, plus an amount equal
to one-half the amount by which its total capital to assets ratio exceeded its
required capital to assets ratio at the beginning of the calendar year, or (2)
75% of its net earnings for the most recent four-quarter period. Savings
institutions with total capital in excess of the capital requirements that have
been notified by the OTS that they are in need of more than normal supervision
will be subject to restrictions on dividends. A savings institution that fails
to meet current minimum capital requirements is prohibited from making any
capital distributions without the prior approval of the OTS.
First Savings Bank currently meets all of its capital requirements and, unless
the OTS determines that First Savings Bank is an institution requiring more
than normal supervision, First Savings Bank may pay dividends in accordance
with the foregoing provisions of the OTS regulations. Unrestricted retained
earnings of First Savings Bank at June 30, 1998, available for the payment of
dividends to TRFC under the foregoing regulations was approximately $4,410,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Bank was formed as a state-chartered savings and loan association in 1886.
The Bank became a member of the FHLB of Indianapolis in 1933, obtained federal
deposit insurance in 1939, converted to a federal mutual savings bank in 1987,
and converted to stock form in August 1995 as the wholly-owned subsidiary of
Three Rivers Financial Corporation. At June 30, 1998, TRFC had approximately
$98.9 million in assets, $61.5 million in deposits and $12.7 million in
shareholders' equity.
The principal business of savings banks, including First Savings Bank, has
historically consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and
making loans secured by residential real estate. First Savings Bank's earnings
are primarily dependent on net interest income, the difference between interest
income and interest expense. Interest income is a function of the balances of
loans and investments outstanding during the period and the yield earned on
such assets. Interest expense is the function of the balances of deposits and
borrowings outstanding during the same period and the rates paid on such
deposits and borrowings. First Savings Bank's earnings are also affected by
provisions for loan losses, service charge and fee income, operating expenses
and income taxes. Operating expenses consist primarily of employee
compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, advertising,
federal deposit insurance premiums and other general and administrative
expenses.
The Company is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well
as federal regulations concerning monetary and fiscal policies of financial
institutions. Deposit balances are influenced by a number of factors including
interest rates paid on competing personal investments and the level of personal
income and savings within the Company's market. In addition, growth of deposit
balances is influenced by the perceptions of customers regarding the stability
of the financial services industry. Lending activities are influenced by the
demand for housing as well as competition from other lending institutions.
Lending activities may also be impacted by liquidity levels and funds available
to originate loans. The primary sources of funds for lending activities
include deposits, borrowed funds, loan repayments, investment maturities and
funds provided from operations.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 1997
The Company's total assets increased $3.8 million, or 3.95%, from $95.1 million
at June 30, 1997 to $98.9 million at June 30, 1998. The increase was due
primarily to an increases in interest-earning deposits with other financial
institutions. The increase was funded mainly by additional proceeds from
borrowed funds.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $4.8 million to $12.3 million at June 30,
1998. The increase was a direct result of an increase in interest-earning
deposits with other financial institutions, from $4.7 million at June 30, 1997
to $9.5 at June 30, 1998.
Securities decreased $2.9 million from $17.9 at June 30, 1997 to $15.0 million
at June 30, 1998. Total securities held at June 30, 1998 were primarily
classified as held to maturity and consisted of U.S. Government and federal
agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, securities issued by states and
political subdivisions and corporate securities. The mortgage backed and
related securities portfolio consisted of issues from FHLMC, GNMA, FNMA and
other collateralized mortgage obligations with contractual maturities ranging
from one to 25 years. The remaining securities held to maturity are primarily
due in one to ten years.
During the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company did not hold any
securities that would be categorized as trading securities.
6
<PAGE> 9
Loans remained relatively stable, increasing slightly from $61.8 million at
June 30, 1997 to $62.1 million at June 30, 1998. The loan portfolio mix also
remained relatively constant as compared to the prior year. Loans secured by
real estate represents the Company's primary lending activity, with a balance
of $51.7 million at June 30, 1998 as compared to $52.6 million at June 30,
1997. Of this balance, mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences
comprise $43.3 million, or 69.7%, of the net loan portfolio at June 30, 1998.
Management anticipates moderate growth in each of its loan categories, as long
as interest rates do not rise significantly and the economy does not experience
a marked downturn.
In addition to its principal activity of making loans secured by residential
real estate, the Company offers a variety of consumer and other loans including
automobile, commercial, home equity, commercial real estate and general purpose
loans. Total consumer and other loans increased $1.0 million to $12.1 million
at June 30, 1998 as a result of lending programs designed to attract this loan
market. Commercial and other loans, such as home improvement and general
purpose loans, increased approximately $700,000 to $6.5 million. Automobile
and home equity loans comprise the remaining total of consumer and other loans,
accounting for $5.6 million at June 30, 1998. Both of these loan types
remained relatively stable during the year. Although the risks involved in
consumer and other lending can be greater than those associated with
one-to-four family residential mortgage lending, management does not believe
that the additional risk is substantial, or that the overall quality of the
loan portfolio has been hindered, due to the standards for extending credit in
place at the Company.
Total deposits increased to $61.5 million at June 30, 1998 from $60.3 million
at June 30, 1997. The increase in total deposits was primarily attributable to
an increase of $1.6 million, or 7.9%, in savings and NOW deposits. The timing
and magnitude of deposit growth remains difficult to predict and is affected by
the local economy, interest rates paid on competing personal investments and
the confidence of customers in the financial services industry.
To fund the growth in assets, the increase in total deposits was accompanied by
an increase in total borrowed funds of $2.4 million. The balance of borrowed
funds of $22.7 million at June 30, 1998 consists of advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") with both fixed and variable interest rates and stated
maturities ranging through 2008. The FHLB has designed various borrowing
programs to assist financial institutions in managing liquidity needs and
interest rate risk.
Shareholders' equity amounted to $12.7 million or 12.8% of total assets at June
30, 1998 compared to $12.8 million or 13.5% of total assets at June 30, 1997.
The decrease primarily resulted from the repurchase of stock totaling $824,000
and dividends paid of $326,000, offset by net income of $822,000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
General. Net income for the year ended June 30, 1998 was $822,000, an increase
of $312,000 compared to net income for the year ended June 30, 1997 of
$510,000. This increase was primarily the result of the $271,000, net of tax
impact, government mandated special assessment to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), administered by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") taken in 1997. This one-time, special
assessment amounted to $.657 for every $100 of SAIF insured deposits as of
March 31, 1995.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $452,000, or 6.7%, from $6.8
million for the year ended June 30, 1997 to $7.2 million for the year ended
June 30, 1998. This was due primarily to changes in the average balances of
the Company's interest-earning assets during 1998 as compared to 1997. An
increase in the average loan portfolio of $4.0 million and other
interest-earning assets of $3.2 million was offset by a decrease in the average
securities portfolio of $3.0 million.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1998 was $3.8
million, an increase of 12.0% over the June 30, 1997 balance of $3.4 million.
This increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in
average borrowed funds of $6.3 million during 1998 as compared to 1997.
7
<PAGE> 10
Net interest income. Net interest income increased $42,000 for the year ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to June 30, 1997, primarily as a result of the volume
variances in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities noted
above. The net yield on average interest-earning assets was down slightly at
3.78% for 1998 as compared to 3.95% for 1997. However, the average outstanding
balance of interest-earning assets increased 5.9% from $85.0 million for 1997
to $90.0 million in 1998. Future improvement in this yield depends on various
factors, including the Company's ability to continue to successfully market
higher-yielding consumer loan products and to obtain growth in low-cost deposit
accounts such as NOW and savings.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the years ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $60,000. The provision for loan losses, less net
charge-offs for the period of $58,000, increased the allowance for loan losses
slightly to $489,000 at June 30, 1998 from $487,000 at June 30, 1997.
Management continues to increase the allowance based on, among other things,
the composition of the Company's loan portfolio, including the higher risk
associated with commercial real estate and construction loans, home equity
lines of credit, and loans not secured by real estate, such as automobile
loans. In establishing the allowance, management also considers the level of
classified and nonperforming loans and their estimated value, and the national
economic outlook, which may tend to inhibit economic activity and depress real
estate and other values in the Company's primary market area.
Management will continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses and make
future additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as
economic conditions and loan portfolio quality dictate. Although management
maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers to be
adequate to provide for losses, there can be no assurance that future losses
will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses
will not be required in future periods. In addition, management's
determination as to the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to
review by the OTS and the FDIC as part of their examination processes, which
may result in the establishment of additional allowances based upon their
judgments of the information available to them at the time of their
examinations.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased from $528,000 to $658,000
from 1997 to 1998. As a result of increased refinancing volume from lower
prevailing interest rates compared to the prior fiscal year, proceeds from the
sale of mortgage loans increased $3.2 million, from $2.5 million for the year
ended June 30, 1997 to $5.7 million for the year ended June 30, 1998. As a
result, gains on sales of loans increased by $82,000, accounting for the
majority of the increase. In addition, service charges on deposit accounts
increased $38,000, contributing to the overall increase.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased from $3.0 million for the
year ended June 30, 1997 to $2.8 million for the year ended June 30, 1998.
This decrease of $192,000 or 6.3%, was primarily the result of the $411,000
special SAIF assessment in 1997 as discussed above. The Bank's annual deposit
premiums decreased approximately $62,000 in fiscal 1997. The decrease in the
SAIF assessment was offset by an increase in various other expense categories,
including compensation and benefits of $72,000, occupancy and equipment of
$77,000, advertising and promotion of $29,000, data processing of $29,000, and
printing and supplies of $25,000. The increase in such expense categories is
primarily the result of the addition of two new branches in 1998.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased from $269,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1997 to $320,000 for the year ended June 30, 1998 due primarily
to increased income before federal income taxes in 1998 as compared to 1997.
On August 20, 1996, the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 was signed
into law by the President of the United States. This law repeals the
percentage of taxable income method which was previously used to determine the
Bank's bad debt deduction for tax purposes. As more fully disclosed in Note
10, the Company must recapture approximately $52,700 of income taxes over a
six-year period beginning no later than 1999.

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
General. Net income for the year ended June 30, 1997 was $510,000, a decrease
of $160,000 compared to net income for the year ended June 30, 1996 of
$670,000. This decrease was primarily due to the $271,000, net of tax impact,
SAIF assessment, as discussed above.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $500,000, or 7.9%, from $6.3
million for the year ended June 30, 1996 to $6.8 million for the year ended
June 30, 1997. This was due primarily to the increase in the average
securities portfolio of $5.3 million and the loan portfolio of $4.1 million
during 1997 as compared to 1996.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 1997 was $3.4
million, an increase of 6.3% over the June 30, 1996 balance of $3.2 million.
The increase in expense was primarily the result of an increase in average
borrowed funds of $7.8 million, partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million
in the average of total deposits.
Net interest income. Net interest income increased $272,000 for the year ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to June 30, 1996, primarily as a result of the volume
variances in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities noted
above. The net yield on average interest-earning assets was stable at 3.95%
for 1996 and 1997. However, the average outstanding balance of
interest-earning assets increased 8.8% from $78.1 million in 1996 to $85.0
million for 1997.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the year ended
June 30, 1997 was $60,000 compared to $65,000 in the prior year. The provision
for loan losses, less net charge-offs for the period of $14,000, increased the
allowance for loan losses to $487,000 at June 30, 1997 from $441,000 at June
30, 1996.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased from $497,000 to $528,000
from 1996 to 1997. This increase was attributable to a combination of factors.
As a result of lower refinancing volume from higher prevailing interest rates
compared to the prior fiscal year, proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans
decreased $1.0 million, from $3.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1996 to
$2.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1997. As a result, gains on sales of
loans decreased by $40,000. This decrease was mainly offset by increases of
$26,000 in other income and $23,000 in gains on foreclosed real estate.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased from $2.5 million for the
year ended June 30, 1996 to $3.0 million for the year ended June 30, 1997.
This increase of $500,000 or 20%, was primarily the result of the $411,000
special SAIF assessment as discussed above.
In addition to the SAIF adjustments, compensation and benefits increased
$179,000 in 1997 over 1996. Along with general rises in compensation levels of
employees, the increase in compensation expense is attributable to the vesting
of shares earned in connection with the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and
Recognition and Retention Plan.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased from $344,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1996 to $269,000 for the year ended June 30, 1997 due primarily
to lower income before federal income taxes in 1997 as compared to 1996.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
Generally accepted accounting principles require that measurement of operations
and financial position be made using historical dollars, with no consideration
to current values except in the cases of certain securities available for sale,
which are recorded at fair value and loans held for sale, which are recorded at
the lower of cost or market value. The impact of inflation is reflected in the
increased cost of operations for the Company, as nearly all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rate fluctuations have a greater effect on the Company's performance
than changes in the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or to the same degree as the level of
inflation.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The matching of maturity or repricing of assets and liabilities may be analyzed
by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate
sensitive", and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap".
An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific
time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.
The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the
amount of interest-earning assets anticipated, based upon certain assumptions,
to mature or reprice within a specific time period and the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time
period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A
gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive
liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a
period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect
net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in
net interest income, although the magnitude of repricing of individual items
also will effect the change in net interest income.
A primary objective of asset/liability management is to manage interest rate
risk. The Company monitors its asset/liability mix on an ongoing basis, and,
from time-to-time, may institute certain changes in its product mix and asset
and liability maturities.
At June 30, 1998, the Company's total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or
repricing within one year exceeded total interest-earning assets maturing or
repricing in the same period by $18.2 million, representing a negative
cumulative one-year gap ratio of 19.44% of total interest-earning assets.
Therefore, management believes that the Company could be adversely affected
during a period of rising interest rates depending on the magnitude of
repricing of individual items, particularly adjustable rate loans, which are
subject to various limitations on interest rate changes, and the passbook and
transaction-type demand accounts for which interest rate changes will depend on
competitive and other factors.

Certain assumptions affecting the interest-rate sensitivity as calculated above
are as follows:
1. All loan amounts are not reduced by the undisbursed portion
of loans in process, unearned and deferred income, and the
allowance for loan losses.
2. Other interest-earning assets includes interest-earning
deposit accounts.
3. Fixed-rate time deposit accounts will not be withdrawn prior
to maturity.
4. Passbook savings, commercial demand, NOW and money market
accounts, which totaled $21.5 million at June 30, 1998, are
withdrawn or reprice within three months due to the possibility
that such deposits will reprice in the event of significant
changes in the overall level of interest rates.
The effect of these assumptions is to quantify the dollar amount of items that
are interest-sensitive and which can be repriced within each of the periods
specified. Such repricing can occur in one of three ways: (1) the rate of
interest to be paid on an asset or liability may adjust periodically on the
basis of an interest rate index; (2) an asset or liability such as a mortgage
loan may amortize, permitting reinvestment of cash flows at the then prevailing
interest rates; or (3) an asset or liability may mature, at which time the
proceeds can be reinvested at the current market rates.
In recent years, management has measured interest rate sensitivity by computing
the "gap" between the assets and liabilities which were expected to mature or
reprice within certain periods, based on assumptions regarding loan prepayment
and deposit decay rates formerly provided by the OTS. However, the OTS now
requires the computation of amounts by which the net present value of an
institution's cash flows from assets, liabilities and off balance sheet items
(the institution's net portfolio value, or "NPV") would change in the event of
a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The OTS also requires the
computation of estimated changes in net interest income over a four quarter
period. These computations estimate the effect of an institution's NPV and net
interest income of instantaneous and permanent 1% to 4% increases and decreases
in market interest rates. In the Company's interest rate sensitivity policy,
the Board of Directors has established a maximum permissible decrease of 45% in
net interest income and a maximum permissible decrease of 55% in NPV given a
market interest rate change of 4%. The policy incorporates maximum permissible
changes, rather than absolute targets, to allow flexibility while avoiding an
over reliance on specific interest rate forecasts.

The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's net
portfolio value as of June 30, 1998 in the event of 1%, 2%, 3% and 4%
instantaneous and permanent increases and decreases in market interest rates,
respectively. These changes are set forth below as basis points, where 100
basis points equals one percentage point.

</TABLE>
Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are
based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest
rates, loan prepayments, and deposit run-offs, and should not be relied upon as
indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any
actions management may undertake in response to changes in interest rate.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in both
the computation of NPV and in the analysis presented in prior tables setting
forth the maturing and repricing of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. For example, although certain assets and
liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react
in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates
on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes
in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind
changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate
loans, which represent the Company's primary loan product, have features which
restrict changes in interest rate on a short-term basis and over the life of
the asset. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the
Company's portfolios could decrease in future periods if market interest rates
remain at or decrease below current levels due to refinance activity. Further,
in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal
levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in the tables.
Finally, the ability of borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may
decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

AVERAGE BALANCES , INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS
Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference ("interest rate spread")
between rates of interest earned on interest-earning assets and rates of
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities and (ii) the relative amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When
interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any
positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. Savings
institutions have traditionally used interest rate spreads as a measure of net
interest income. Another indication of an institution's net interest income is
its "net yield on interest-earning assets" which is net interest income divided
by average interest-earning assets.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's
average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects
the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the period
indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by
the average monthly balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the
periods presented. During the periods indicated, nonaccruing loans are
included in the net loan category. Average balances are derived from month-end
balances. Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances
instead of average daily balances has caused any material difference in the
information presented.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS
The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income
and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between changes related to
higher or lower outstanding balances and changes due to the levels and changes
in interest rate. For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable
to (i) changes in volume (i.e. changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and
(ii) changes in rate (i.e. changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For
purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which
cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to
volume and the change due to rate.

ASSET QUALITY
Total non-performing assets increased to $682,000 at June 30, 1998 as compared
to $571,000 at June 30, 1997. The ratio of non-performing assets to total
assets at June 30, 1998 was .69% compared to .60% at June 30, 1997. Included
in non-performing assets at June 30, 1998 were mortgage loans totaling $455,000
and consumer and commercial loans totaling $198,000. Foreclosed real estate
was $29,000 at June 30, 1998. The allowance for loan losses was 74.89% and
312.30% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997,
respectively. The majority of the non-performing mortgage loan balance at June
30, 1998 relates to one residential real estate loan in which the Company has
secured a first lien on the property. Management believes the loan is
adequately collateralized and no loss is expected.
OTS regulations require that management periodically review and classify assets
pursuant to the classification of assets policy set forth in its regulations.
Based on management's review of assets as of June 30, 1998, $262,000 of loans
were classified as special mention and $494,000 as substandard. The majority
of the substandard loan balance relates to the one residential real estate loan
described above. As the balance of such loan classifications represent
smaller-balance homogeneous loan types, these loans are not considered impaired
at June 30, 1998. There were no other loans classified as impaired and no
assets classified as doubtful or loss at June 30, 1998. Management reviews
assets on a monthly basis, and at the end of each quarter prepares the asset
classification listing in conformity with the OTS regulations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
First Savings Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings from the
FHLB, principal and interest payments on loans, and maturities and paydowns on
securities. While scheduled repayments of loans and security maturities and
paydowns are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage
prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. Management has controlled this fluctuation in the
sources of funds through borrowings from the FHLB. Management believes that
the Bank's sources of funds will be adequate to meet its currently foreseeable
liquidity needs.
A standard measure of liquidity for thrift institutions is the ratio of cash
and eligible investments to a certain percentage of net withdrawable savings
and borrowings due within one year. Currently, the OTS requires savings
institutions to maintain a liquidity ratio of 4%. As of June 30, 1998, First
Savings Bank's liquidity ratio was 30.81%.
During the year ended June 30, 1998, there was a net increase in cash and cash
equivalents of $4.8 million. Major sources of cash during the period were net
cash from operations of $1.4 million, a net increase of $2.4 million in

The Company also has a need for liquid assets in order to fund its operating
expenses, as well as for the payment of any dividends to shareholders. The
Company currently has no significant liquidity commitments, as operating costs
are modest and dividends to shareholders are discretionary. At June 30, 1998,
the Company had $253,000 in liquid assets. The primary source of liquidity on
an ongoing basis is dividends from the Bank. For the year ended June 30, 1998,
the Bank paid $400,000 in dividends to the Company. For the same period, the
Company paid dividends to shareholders of $326,000.
Federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain a minimum level
of regulatory capital. The OTS has established capital standards, including a
tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio (or core capital) requirement
and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings associations.
These capital requirements must be generally as stringent as the comparable
capital requirements for national banks. The OTS is also authorized to impose
capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual associations on
a case-by-case basis.
The Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet
tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 1.5%, 3.0%, and 8.0%. At June
30, 1998, the Bank exceeded each of its capital requirements, with tangible,
core and risk-based capital ratios of 11.74%, 11.74%, and 23.29%, respectively.
YEAR 2000
Included in other noninterest expense for the year ended June 30, 1998 is
approximately $2,000 in charges incurred in connection with the training and
testing of the Company's computer and related systems to properly recognize
dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Company has completed its assessment of
Year 2000 issues, developed a plan, and arranged for the required resources to
complete the necessary remediation and testing. As part of its efforts to
ensure compliance with the Year 2000, the Company has signed a contract with
FiServ, Milwaukee, to convert to a new processing system in July 1999. At this
time, computer hardware will also be replaced.
The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to reprogram or
replace, and test hardware and software for Year 2000 compliance. The Company
plans to complete changes and testing of critical systems by July 31, 1999.
Testing of non-critical applications will continue throughout 1999 and will be
completed prior to any impact on operating systems. The total costs of the
Year 2000 project are estimated at $225,000. The Company will incur
remediation and testing costs through the Year 2000, but does not anticipate
that material incremental costs will be incurred in any single period.
The Company has initiated formal communications with all of its critical
vendors and service providers to determine the extent to which the Company is
vulnerable to any failure of those third parties to remedy their own Year 2000
issues. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies
on which the Company's systems rely will be remedied in a timely manner or that
there will be no adverse effect on the Company's systems. Critical companies
include power companies and phone systems. Therefore, the Company could
possibly be negatively impacted to the extent that other entities not
affiliated with the Company are unsuccessful in properly addressing this issue.
The costs of the project and the date on which the Company plans to complete
the Year 2000 modifications are based upon management's best estimates.
However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific
factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited
to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to
locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties.

THREE RIVERS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation, Nature of Operations and Industry Segment
Information: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Three Rivers Financial Corporation ("the Company"), First Savings Bank ("the
Bank") and Alpha Financial, Inc. ("Alpha"). All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company
is a savings and loan holding company located in Three Rivers, Michigan and
owns all of the outstanding stock of the Bank. Alpha is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Bank. The Company was organized in April 1995 for the
purpose of owning all of the outstanding stock of the Bank. Financial
information presented herein, prior to the organization of the Company reflects
the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
the Bank and Alpha.
The Bank grants residential and commercial real estate and consumer loans,
accepts deposits and engages in mortgage banking activities. Substantially all
loans are secured by specific items of collateral including residences,
business assets and consumer assets. The Bank services its customers, which
are primarily located in southwestern Michigan and the central portion of
northern Indiana, through its main office in Three Rivers and five other
offices located in its market area. The primary business of Alpha is to own
and receive the dividend income from stock holdings in MMLIC Life Insurance
Company.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements: The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the
disclosures provided. Areas involving the use of significant estimates and
assumptions in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for
loan losses, fair values of securities and other financial instruments,
determination and carrying value of impaired loans, and the determination of
depreciation of premises and equipment recognized in the Company's financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates
associated with the allowance for loan losses and the fair values of securities
and other financial instruments are particularly susceptible to material change
in the near term.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents are defined to include
the Company's cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions and
short-term interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions with
original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company reports net cash flows for
customer loan and deposit transactions, advance payments by borrowers for taxes
and insurance, and interest-earning time deposits in other financial
institutions.
Securities: The Company classifies securities into held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale and trading categories. Held-to-maturity securities are
those which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity, and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities
are those the Company may decide to sell if needed for liquidity,
asset-liability management or other reasons. Available-for-sale securities are
reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate
component of shareholders' equity, net of tax, until realized. Trading
securities are bought principally for sale in the near term, and are reported
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not
temporary.
Realized gains and losses resulting from the sale of securities are computed by
the specific identification method. Interest and dividend income, adjusted by
amortization of purchase premium or discount, is included in earnings.
Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest
method over the period of maturity.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Mortgage Banking Activities: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale
in the secondary market are reported on the consolidated balance sheets as
loans held for sale and are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market
value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation
allowance by charges to income.
Loan servicing fees are recognized when received and the related costs are
recognized when incurred. The Bank sells mortgages into the secondary market
at market prices.
Servicing rights represent the allocated value of servicing rights retained on
loans sold. Servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the
period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on
the fair value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to
interest rates and then, secondarily, as to geographic and prepayment
characteristics. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation
allowance.
Loans Receivable, Net: Loans receivable are reported at the unpaid principal
balance, less the allowance for loan losses, deferred fees or costs on
originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Discounts on mortgage loans are amortized to income using the level-yield
method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for
anticipated prepayments. Interest income is reported on the interest method
and includes amortization of net deferred fees and costs over the loan term.
When full loan repayment is in doubt, interest income is not reported.
Payments received on such loans are reported as principal reductions.
Because some loans may not be repaid in full, an allowance for loan losses is
recorded. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and
decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Estimating the risk of loss and
the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the
allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover
losses that are currently anticipated. Management's periodic evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company's past loan loss experience,
known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying
collateral, and current economic conditions. A loan is charged off against the
allowance by management when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts
continue and future recoveries may occur. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review
the Company's allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such
agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based
on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their
examination.
Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not
expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of
similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer and credit card loans,
and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a
portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the
present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or
at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans
are evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed, typically 90 days or
more, or when it is probable that all principal and interest amounts will not
be collected according to the original terms of the loan.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Premises and Equipment: Asset cost is reported net of accumulated
depreciation. These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate
the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Depreciation expense is calculated
on the straight-line method over asset useful lives. The cost of leasehold
improvements is being amortized using the straight-line method over the terms
of the related leases, or over the useful lives of the assets, if less.
Foreclosed Real Estate: Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu
of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at
the date of acquisition, establishing a new cost basis. Any reduction to fair
value from the carrying value of the related loan at the time of acquisition is
accounted for as a loan loss and charged against the allowance for loan losses.
After acquisition, the property is carried at the lower of cost or fair value,
less estimated costs to sell. A valuation allowance is recorded through a
charge to income for the amount of selling costs. Valuations are periodically
performed by management and valuation allowances are adjusted through a charge
to income for changes in fair value or estimated selling costs. Costs relating
to improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs and revenues relating
to the holding of property are expensed.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): The Company accounts for its ESOP in
accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-6. The cost of shares issued to
the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, are presented as a reduction
of shareholders' equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market
price of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation to
participant accounts. The difference between the market price and the cost of
shares committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to additional
paid-in capital. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a
reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares are reflected
as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.
Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP): The RRP is a stock award plan for which
the measurement of total compensation cost is based upon the fair value of the
shares on the date of grant. RRP awards vest in five equal annual installments
from the date of grant, subject to the continuous employment of the recipients
as defined under such plans. Compensation expense for the RRPs is recognized
on a prorata basis over the vesting period of the awards. The unearned
compensation value of the RRPs is shown as a reduction of shareholders' equity.
Stock Option Plan (SOP): Expense for employee compensation under SOPs is
recognized only if options are granted below the market price at the grant
date. As shown in a separate note, pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share are provided as if the fair value method were used for
stock-based compensation.
Federal Home Loan Bank System: The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank System and is required to invest in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB"). The amount of the required investment is based upon the balance
of the Bank's outstanding home mortgage loans or advances from the FHLB and is
carried at cost plus the value assigned to stock dividends.
Preferred Stock: The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized to issue
preferred stock from time to time in one or more series subject to applicable
provisions of law, and is authorized to fix the designations, powers,
preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights of
such shares, including voting rights (which could be multiple or as a separate
class) and conversion rights, and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof. In the event of a proposed merger, tender offer or other
attempt to gain control of the Company that the Board of Directors does not
approve, it might be possible for the Board of Directors to authorize the
issuance of a series of preferred stock with rights and preferences that would
impede the completion of such a transaction. The Board of Directors has no
present plans or understandings for the issuance of any preferred stock.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes: The entities included in these consolidated financial statements
file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company records income tax
expense based on the amount of taxes due on its tax return plus the change in
deferred tax assets and liabilities computed based on the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax
bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk: The Company, in the normal
course of business, makes commitments to make loans which are not reflected in
the financial statements. A summary of these commitments is disclosed in Note
13.
Earnings Per Share: The accounting standard for computing earnings per share
was revised for fiscal 1998, and all earnings per share previously reported are
restated to follow the new standard. Basic earnings per share is based on net
income dividend by the weighted average common shares outstanding. ESOP shares
are considered outstanding as they are committed to be released; unearned
shares are not considered outstanding. Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP")
shares are considered outstanding as they vest. Diluted earnings per share
further assumes issue of dilutive potential common shares relating to
outstanding stock options and unvested RRP shares. For the period presented in
1996, basic and diluted earnings per share were computed by dividing net income
earned subsequent to the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form (the
"conversion") by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the
period.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are
estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more
fully disclosed in Note 16. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and
matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk,
prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for
particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could
significantly affect the estimates. The fair value estimates of existing on-
and off-balance-sheet financial instruments does not include the value of
anticipated future business or the values of assets and liabilities not
considered financial instruments.
Reclassifications: Certain items in the 1997 and 1996 financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation.
NOTE 2 - CONVERSION TO A STOCK SAVINGS BANK WITH THE CONCURRENT
FORMATION OF A HOLDING COMPANY
On March 9, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Bank, subject to regulatory
approval and approval by members of the Bank, unanimously adopted a Plan of
Conversion to convert from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a
federally chartered stock savings bank with the concurrent formation of the
Company as the Bank's holding company. The conversion was consummated on
August 23, 1995 by amending the Bank's federal charter and the sale of the
Company's common shares in an amount equal to the pro forma market value of the
Company after giving effect to the conversion. Common shares of the Company
were offered in accordance with the plan of conversion. A total of 859,625
common shares of the Company were sold at $10.00 per share and net proceeds
from the sale were $7,973,269, including ESOP shares and after deducting the
costs of conversion.
The Company retained 35% of the net proceeds from the sale of common shares,
from which funds were loaned to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, as disclosed
in a separate note. The remainder of the net proceeds were used to purchase
100% of the common shares of the Bank. The Bank is now a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The conversion was an internal reorganization with
historical balances carried forward without adjustment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996
NOTE 8 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company maintains a noncontributory multi-employer defined-benefit pension
plan covering substantially all employees. The plan is administered by the
trustees of the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund. There is no separate
valuation of plan benefits nor segregation of plan assets specifically for the
Company because the plan is a multi-employer plan and separate actuarial
valuations are not made with respect to each employer nor are the plan assets
so segregated. Under the multi-employer plan, the Company made contributions
and recognized pension expense of approximately $75,000 and $56,000 for the
years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. No contribution was required for the year
ended June 30, 1998.
The Company also maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan covering substantially
all employees. The annual expense of the plan is based on 50% matching of
voluntary employee contributions, up to 6% of individual compensation.
Employee contributions vest immediately and the Company's matching
contributions vest after six years. Contributions and related expenses
attributable to the plan were approximately $19,000 for the years ended June
30, 1998 and 1997 and $16,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996.
NOTE 9 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"): In conjunction with the conversion
transaction described in Note 2, the Company established an ESOP for the
benefit of substantially all employees. Contributions to the ESOP are made by
the Company and may be made in the form of cash or the Company's common stock.
To fund the plan, the ESOP borrowed $687,700 from the Company for the purpose
of purchasing 68,770 shares of stock at $10 per share. The original loan
agreement was modified in May 1996 to provide for principal and interest
payments on the loan to be paid in equal annual installments over a nine-year
period ending June 30, 2005. The loan is collateralized by the unallocated
shares of the Company's common stock purchased with the loan proceeds and will
be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Company's contributions to the ESOP
and earnings on ESOP assets. For the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
$70,004 and $68,770 in principal payments were made on the loan.
Shares are allocated among participants each June 30 on the basis of principal
payments made by the ESOP on the loan from the Company, according to each
participant's relative compensation. ESOP participants are entitled to receive
distributions from their ESOP accounts only upon termination of service.
During 1998, 7,004 shares with an average fair value of $19.40 per share were
committed to be released, resulting in ESOP compensation expense of $135,867.
During 1997, 6,877 shares with an average fair value of $13.92 per share were
committed to be released, resulting in ESOP compensation expense of $95,729.

NOTE 9 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)
Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP") and Stock Option and Incentive Plan
("SOP"): An RRP and SOP were approved by the Company's shareholders on April
17, 1996. These plans were established to reward directors and certain
officers of the Company for their contributions, and to encourage them to
remain with the Company and continue to promote the Company's growth and
profitability. The RRP is a restricted stock award plan. The RRP and SOP are
administered by a committee of Directors of the Company. This committee
selects recipients and terms of awards pursuant to the plans. The total shares
made available under the RRP and SOP plans were 34,385 and 85,962,
respectively.
During the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1996, the Committee awarded 1,000 and
26,000 shares of common stock under the RRP. No shares under the RRP were
awarded during the year ended June 30, 1997. RRP awards vest in five annual
installments, beginning April 17, 1996, subject to the continuous employment of
the recipients. The RRP will terminate no later than April 17, 2006.
Compensation expense for the RRP is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the
vesting period of the awards. During the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and
1996, $76,529, $69,180, and $14,413 was charged to compensation expense for the
RRP. The unearned balance of the RRP is shown as a reduction to shareholders'
equity.
During the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1996, the committee awarded under the
SOP options to purchase 4,000 and 58,500 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $16.375 and $13.25 per share, which was the market price of the
Company's common stock on the date of the awards. No options under the SOP
were awarded during the year ended June 30, 1997. During the years ended June
30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, no options were exercised or canceled. At June 30,
1998, there were 23,462 shares reserved for future grants. SOP options vest in
five equal annual installments beginning April 17, 1996 and expiring ten years
from the date of grant. At June 30, 1998, 62,500 options were outstanding at a
weighted average exercise price of $13.45 per share. Of the options
outstanding, 26,000 options were exercisable at June 30, 1998.
No compensation expense has been recognized for the SOP plan. The proforma
effect of the fair value of stock options granted on the Company's net income
and earnings per share was not material for 1998, 1997 and 1996. In future
years, as additional options are granted, the proforma effect on net income and
earnings per share may increase.
NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
The Company and the Bank file a consolidated federal income tax return on a
fiscal year basis. Prior to fiscal year 1997, if certain conditions were met
in determining taxable income as reported on the consolidated federal income
tax return, the Bank was allowed a special bad debt deduction based on a
percentage of taxable income (8% for 1996) or on specified experience formulas.
The Bank used the percentage of taxable income method for tax purposes as of
June 30, 1996. Tax legislation passed in August 1996 now requires the Bank to
deduct a provision for bad debts for tax purposes based on actual loss
experience and recapture the excess bad debt reserve accumulated in tax years
after 1987. The related amount of deferred tax liability which must be
recaptured is approximately $52,700 and is payable over a six-year period
beginning no later than 1999.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES (Continued)
A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is
considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefits related to
such assets will not be realized. Management has determined that no such
allowance is required at June 30, 1998 and 1997.
Retained earnings at June 30, 1998 and 1997 includes approximately $1,314,000
for which no deferred federal income tax liability has been recognized. This
amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax
purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax
bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses
would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the
then-current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax
liability on the above amount was approximately $447,000 at June 30, 1998 and
1997.

At June 30, 1998, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized.
The Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") test requires that approximately 65% of
assets be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified areas. If
the QTL test is not met, limits are placed on growth, branching, new
investments, FHLB advances and dividends, or the Bank must convert to a
commercial bank charter. Management believes that the QTL test has been met.
Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") limit the amount of
dividends and other capital distributions that may be paid by a savings
institution without prior approval of the OTS. The regulatory restriction is
based on a three-tiered system with the greatest flexibility being afforded to
well-capitalized (Tier 1) institutions. The Bank is currently a Tier 1
institution. Accordingly, the Bank can make, without prior regulatory
approval, distributions during a calendar year up to 100% of its net income to
date during the calendar year plus an amount that would reduce by up to
one-half the amount of its capital which exceeds its most stringent capital
requirement as of the beginning of the calendar year.

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY CAPITAL (Continued)
At the time of conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account of
$5,507,290 which was equal to its total net worth as of the date of the latest
balance sheet appearing in the final conversion prospectus. The liquidation
account is maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to
maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation
account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced
their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases in a deposit account will not
restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In
the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled
to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount
proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then
held. The Bank may not pay dividends that would reduce shareholders' equity
below the required liquidation account balance.
Under the most restrictive of the dividend limitations described above, at June
30, 1998, approximately $4,410,000 was available to the Bank for the payment of
dividends to the holding company.
NOTE 13 - STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAMS
During fiscal 1998, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 41,227
shares of its common stock at an average price of $19.99 per share after
receiving regulatory approval. On August 19, 1998, the Company approved the
repurchase of up to an additional 70,000 shares of its common stock.
NOTE 14 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
Some financial instruments are used in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of customers. These financial instruments include
commitments to make loans and loans-in-process. The contractual amount of
these financial instruments are as follows at June 30:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1998 1997
---------- ----------
<S> <C> <C>
Fixed rate $2,185,648 $1,207,922
Variable rate 850,500 1,354,810
---------- ----------
$3,036,148 $2,562,732
========== ==========
</TABLE>
Loan commitments generally have terms of 30 days and contractual interest rates
ranging from 6.75% to 10.00%. Fees received in connection with these
commitments have not been recognized in income.
Additionally, at June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company had outstanding unused
lines of credit and letters of credit aggregating approximately $2,692,901 and
$3,503,298.
Commitments to make loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there
is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since certain
commitments to make loans and lines of credit expire without being used, the
amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments. The Company's
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to
these financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of these
instruments. The Company follows the same credit policy to make such
commitments as is followed for those loans recorded in the consolidated balance
sheets. No losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions.

WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK (Continued)
The Company has entered into an employment agreement and severance agreements
with certain officers of the Company. The employment agreement provides for a
term of three years and a salary and performance review by the Board of
Directors not less often than annually, as well as inclusion of the employee in
any formally established employee benefit, bonus, pension and profit-sharing
plans for which senior management personnel are eligible. The agreement may be
extended for one-year periods as determined by the Board of Directors. Under
the terms of the agreement, certain events leading to termination from the
Company could result in a cash payment of approximately three times the
affected employee's compensation. The severance agreements are for a period of
two years and may be extended for one-year periods as determined by the Board
of Directors. They provide for benefits of up to two times base compensation
to the employees upon a change in control of the Bank or the Company.
In addition, the Company is a party to certain claims and legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after
consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
NOTE 15 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

</TABLE>
For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the following
assumptions were used as of June 30, 1998 and 1997. The estimated fair value
for cash and cash equivalents, the allowance for loan losses, Federal Home Loan
Bank stock, accrued interest receivable, demand and savings deposits, advances
from borrowers for taxes and insurance, and accrued interest payable is
considered to approximate cost. The estimated fair value of interest-earning
time deposits is based on offering rates for such instruments, applied for the
time period until maturity. The estimated fair value for securities is based
on quoted market values for the individual securities or for equivalent
securities. The estimated fair value for loans is based on estimates of the
rate the Bank would charge for similar such loans, applied for the time period
until estimated repayment. The estimated fair value for time deposits and
borrowed funds is based on estimates of the rate the Bank would pay on such
deposits or borrowings, applied for the time period until maturity. The
estimated fair value of other financial instruments and off-balance-sheet loan
commitments approximate cost and are not considered significant to this
presentation.
While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the
most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that were the Company to have
disposed of such items, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been
achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various
circumstances. The estimated fair values should not be considered to apply at
subsequent dates.
In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Company that are not defined
as financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as
property and equipment. Also, non-financial instruments typically not
recognized in financial statements may have value but are not included in the
above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings
power of core deposit accounts, the trained work force, customer goodwill and
similar items.

NOTE 18 - FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE PREMIUM
The deposits of savings associations such as the Bank are insured by the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). A recapitalization plan signed
into law on September 30, 1996 provided for a one-time assessment of 65.7 basis
points per $100 of SAIF-insured deposits as of March 31, 1995. Based on the
Bank's deposits as of that date, a one-time assessment of approximately
$411,000 was paid and recorded as federal deposit insurance premium expense for
the year ended June 30, 1997.
NOTE 19 - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,
was issued in 1996. It revised the accounting for transfers of financial
assets, such as loans and securities, and for distinguishing between sales and
secured borrowings. It became effective for some transactions in 1997 and
others beginning in 1998. The effect on the consolidated financial statements
was not material.
A new accounting standard, SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, will
require future reporting of comprehensive income beginning with the quarter
ended September 30, 1998. Comprehensive income is net income plus changes in
the net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for sale, net of tax.
A new accounting standard, SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information, will require future reporting of additional
information related to material business segments beginning with the year ended
June 30, 1999.
A new accounting standard, SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, will require all derivatives to be recognized at fair
value as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets
beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Changes in the fair value
of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are to be recognized
currently in earnings. Gains or losses on derivatives designated as hedging
instruments are either to be recognized currently in earnings or are to be
recognized as a component of other comprehensive income, depending on the
intended use of the derivatives and the resulting designations. The Company
does not believe adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on
its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
