FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Beal Financial Corporation (the "Corporation"), the parent company of 
Beal Bank, ssb, (the "Bank"), had total assets of $1.3 billion at September 
30, 1996 representing an increase of $63.6 million or 5%, from $1.2 billion 
at June 30, 1996.  The increase resulted primarily from an increase in net 
loans receivable of $94.1 million, an increase in cash and cash equivalents 
of $24.3 million and an increase in real estate held for investment or sale 
of $11.7 million; partially offset by a decrease in securities available for 
sale of $70.1 million.  The increase in net loans receivable was due 
primarily to the Corporation being the successful bidder on loan pools sold 
by various U.S. governmental agencies and to a lesser extent, to loan 
origination activity.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents was the 
result of normal operations, including proceeds received from the sale of 
certain mortgage-backed securities from the securities available for sale 
portfolio.  The increase in real estate held for investment or sale was 
primarily the result of additional real estate direct investments by the 
Bank's subsidiaries.

     Total liabilities increased $47.4 million, or 4.0% from June 30, 1996 to 
$1.2 billion at September 30, 1996, primarily due to an increase in deposits 
of $122.3 million, or 13.7%, and an increase of $10.9 million in other 
liabilities, partially offset by a decline in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") 
advances of $86.0 million. Advances for the FHLB of Dallas were repaid with 
the increase in deposits and the proceeds from the sale of mortgaged backed 
securities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

     NET INCOME.  For the three months ended September 30, 1996, net income 
of $15.7 million represented an increase of $10.0 million, or 177.9% from the 
three months ended September 30, 1995.  As discussed in more detail below, 
the increase in net income was primarily due to a $18.9 million increase in 
net interest income after provision for loan losses, partially offset by an 
increase in non-interest expense of $4.2 million and an increase in income 
taxes of $5.6 million.

     NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income increased $17.8 million, or 
146.6%, from $12.2 million at September 30, 1995, to $30.0 million at 
September 30, 1996 due to an increase in average interest-earning assets.  
The average balance of interest-earning assets increased $515.0 million 
during this period primarily due to an increase in discounted loans purchased 
and, to a lesser extent, increased loan originations and purchases of 
mortgage-backed securities.  In addition, net interest rate spread increased 
from 8.29% for the

                                      6

<PAGE>

three months ended September 30, 1995, to 10.71% for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 primarily due to an increase in the yield on interest 
earning assets from 14.67% to 16.79% for the three month period ending 
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased $24.9 million, or 114.3% 
from $21.8 million at September 30, 1995 to $46.7 million at September 30, 
1996.  Of the total increase in interest income, $13.3 million was due to an 
increase in the discount accretion and $11.6 million was due to an increase 
in average interest-earning assets and, to a lesser extent, to an increase in 
the yield on interest earning assets.  The yield on interest earning assets 
increased by 2.12% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 
the same prior year period.  This increased yield was primarily due to an 
increase in the yield on loans, net, from 15.96% for the three months ended 
September 30, 1995 to 18.82% for the three months ended September 30, 1996.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased $7.1 million, or 73.6%, 
from $9.6 million at September 30, 1995 to $16.7 million at September 30, 
1996 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing 
liabilities of $492.8 million.  The increase in average interest-bearing 
liabilities was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of 
deposits of $462.6 million and the issuance of 12.75% senior notes in August, 
1995, partially offset by the decline in the average balance of FHLB advances 
of $7.6 million.  The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing 
liabilities more than offset the 31 basis point decrease in the average cost 
of interest-bearing liabilities from 6.39% for the three month period ending 
September 30, 1995 to 6.08% for the three month period ending September 30, 
1996.

     PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The provision for loan losses is determined 
by management as an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan 
losses at a level considered adequate to absorb future losses inherent in the 
loan portfolio in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  
The provision for loan losses decreased $1.0 million, or 75.6% for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period last year.  
The majority of this decrease was the result of a decrease in the volume of 
loans receivable growth for the three months ended September 30, 1996, as 
compared to the same period last year.

     The Corporation establishes an allowance for loan losses based upon a 
systematic analysis of risk factors in the loan portfolio as well as a 
specific analysis of certain impaired loans.  This analysis includes an 
evaluation of the corporation's loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, 
current economic conditions, loan volume and growth, composition of the loan 
portfolio and other relevant factors.  Management's analysis results in the 
establishment of allowance amounts by loan type based on allocations by asset 
classification.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net 
non-performing loans was 6.5% at September 30, 1996 as compared to 9.7% at 
June 30, 1996.  The  primary reason for the decline in this ratio was due to 
the purchase of $41.0 million, net, of multi-family non-performing loans.  
Management believes that the underlying collateral value is sufficient to 
cover the Corporation's investment in these loans.



                                      7 
<PAGE>

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

   NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income increased $1.0 million, or 
33.3% to $4.0 million at September 30, 1996 from $3.0 million at September 
30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to a increase in the income 
attributable to the sale of loans of $1.1 million and an increase of $342,000 
in other real estate operations, net, partially offset by a decrease in the 
gain on real estate transactions of $409,000. The increase in gain on sale of 
loans was primarily attributable to a $916,000 gain on the sale of two 
multi-family loans in the process of foreclosure.

   NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased $4.2 million, or 
82.5%, from $5.1 million at September 30, 1995 to $9.3 million for the same 
period in fiscal 1996 primarily due to an increase in SAIF deposit insurance 
premium of $2.4 million, an increase in other operating expenses of $886,000, 
and a loss of $437,000 on sale of securities available for sale.

   On September 30, 1996, federal legislation was enacted that requires the 
Savings Association Insurance fund ("SAIF") to be recapitalized with a 
one-time assessment on virtually all SAIF-insured institutions, such as the 
Bank, equal to 65.7 basis points on SAIF-insured deposits maintained by those 
institutions as of March 31, 1995. This SAIF assessment which is to be paid 
to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") by November 27, 1996, 
is approximately $2 million and has been accrued by the Corporation at 
September 30, 1996. The Bank after recording the SAIF assessment charge to 
earnings, still remains a well capitalized institution for regulatory capital 
purposes.

   As a result of the SAIF recapitalization, the FDIC has proposed to amend 
its regulation concerning the insurance premiums payable by SAIF-insured 
institutions. Effective October 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996, the FDIC 
has proposed that the SAIF insurance premium for all SAIF-insured 
institutions that are required to pay  the Financing Corporation ("FICO") 
obligation, such as the Bank, be reduced to a range of 18 to 27  basis points 
from 23 to 31 basis points per $100 of domestic deposits. The Bank currently 
qualifies for the minimum SAIF insurance premium of 23 basis points. The FDIC 
has also proposed to further reduce the SAIF insurance premium to a range of 
0 to 27 basis points per $100 of domestic deposits, effective January 1, 
1997. Management cannot predict whether or in what form the FDIC's final 
regulation may be promulgated.

   The increases in other operating expenses, consisting principally of legal 
expenses, loan servicing expenses, marketing expenses, and loan acquisition 
and origination expenses, were primarily due to the Corporation's purchasing 
activities and resultant increase in asset size.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   The Corporation's primary sources of funds for operations are deposits 
obtained from areas surrounding its branch offices, principal and interest 
payments on loans, brokered deposits, advances from the FHLB of Dallas and to 
a lesser extent, from the sale of assets. While maturities and scheduled 
amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and 
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, 
economic conditions, and competition.

   Historically, the primary investing activity of the Corporation has been 
the purchase of discounted loans from various U.S. government agencies 
through the sealed bid process, auctions and other private sector sellers. 
During the three month period ended September 30, 1996, the Corporation 
purchased $151.8 million of loans, net. Loan originations for the three 
months ended September 30, 1996, totaled $41.3 million.

   The Corporation's primary financing activity is the attraction of 
deposits. During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Corporation 
experienced a net increase in deposits of $122.3 million, which was generated 
by the Bank's three retail deposit locations. In addition, liquidity was 
provided by proceeds received from the $70.0 million sale of securities from 
the securities available for sale portfolio during the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996. The increased liquidity provided by the deposit increase 
and the decrease of securities available for sale for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 was used to fund the increase in loans and to decrease 
FHLB borrowings by $86.0 million. The Corporation had Senior Notes of $57.1 
million, net, FHLB advances of $99.0 million, and other borrowings of $21.6 
million at September 30, 1996.

   The Corporation has the ability to borrow additional funds from the FHLB 
of Dallas by pledging assets as collateral, subject to certain restrictions. 
At September 30, 1996, the Corporation had an undrawn advance arrangement 
with the FHLB of Dallas for $53.7 million.

   The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as 
defined by the Texas Savings and Loan Department ("Texas Department"). Unless 
approved in advance by the Texas Department, a Texas savings bank is required 
to maintain a minimum of 10% of the previous quarters average deposits in 
liquid assets, (the "Liquidity Ratio"). At September 30, 1996, the Bank's 
Liquidity Ratio was 18.3%.

   The Corporation's most liquid asset is cash and cash equivalents. The 
level of cash equivalents is dependent on the Corporation's operating, 
financing, and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 
1996, the Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $79.7 million.

   The Corporation anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to 
meet its current foreseeable commitments. At September 30, 1996 the 
Corporation had commitments to originate loans of $34.9 million and 
outstanding unfunded letters of credit of $11.6 million. Certificates of 
deposits which are scheduled to mature in one year of less at September 30, 
1996

                                    9 
<PAGE>

totaled $725.7 million.  Due to the Corporation's high interest rate spread, 
management has typically relied upon interest rate sensitive short-term 
deposits to fund its loan purchases and origination activities.  The 
Corporation believes the potential interest rate risk is acceptable in view of 
the Corporation's belief that it can maintain an acceptable net interest 
spread.  The Corporation further believes that based on the levels of 
retention for such deposits in the recent past, that a significant portion of 
such deposits will remain with the Corporation.

     At September 30, 1996, the Bank exceeded each of its three regulatory 
capital requirements.  The following is a summary of the Bank's regulatory 
capital position at September 30, 1996.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

     The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented herein 
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating 
results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the 
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.  The impact of 
inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Corporation's operations. 
Nearly all the assets and liabilities of the corporation are financial, 
unlike most industrial companies.  As a result, the Corporation's performance 
is directly impacted by changes in interest rates, which are indirectly 
influenced by inflationary expectations.  Since the Corporation has 
historically placed more emphasis on increasing net interest margin rather 
than on matching the maturities of interest rate sensitive assets and 
liabilities, changes in interest rates may have a greater impact on the 
Corporation's financial condition and results of operations.  Changes in 
investment rates do not necessarily move to the same extent as changes in the 
price of goods and services.

RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

     The Corporation's consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges for 
the three months ended September 30, 1996 are set forth below.  Earnings used 
in computing the ratios shown 


                                       10 
<PAGE>

consist of earnings from continuing operations before taxes and interest 
expense.  Fixed charges, excluding interest on deposits, represent interest 
expense on borrowings.  Fixed charges, including interest on deposits, 
represent all of the foregoing items plus interest on deposits.  Interest 
expense (other than on deposits) includes interest on FHLB of Dallas 
borrowings, the Senior Notes and other borrowed funds.

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     Effective October 8, 1996, the employment agreement of David C. Meek, 
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, (the "Agreement"), 
attached as Exhibit 10.3a, was amended.  As a first stage to renegotiating 
the Agreement's bonus compensation, the amendment, attached as Exhibit 10.3b, 
basically changed the expiration date of the Agreement from December 31, 1998 
to December 31, 1996 in return for a payment of $150,000, in accordance with 
the terms of the Agreement.  The parties are currently negotiating a new 
employment agreement.

                            EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Employment Agreement") is made and entered
into, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 36, as of this 24th day of January,
1996, by and between BEAL BANK, SSB, a Texas corporation (hereafter the "Bank")
and DAVID C. MEEK, a resident of Texas (hereafter the "Executive").

     WHEREAS, the Executive has considerable experience, expertise, and training
in management related to lending and services offered by the Bank; and

     WHEREAS, the Bank desires and intends to employ the Executive as President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Employment Agreement, and the Executive desires to accept such
employment pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Employment
Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, both the Bank and the Executive have read and understood the terms
and provisions set forth in this Employment Agreement, and have been afforded a
reasonable opportunity to review this Employment Agreement with their respective
legal counsel.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set
forth in this Employment Agreement, the Executive and the Bank agree as follows:

                                  DURATION

     1.   This Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for
three (3) years, commencing on January 24, 1996 ("Hire Date"), and will expire
and terminate by its own terms on December 31, 1998, unless either party elects
to terminate this Employment Agreement prior to December 31, 1998, in accordance
with the TERMINATION provisions set forth below at Paragraphs 15-21.

     2.   Both the Bank and the Executive acknowledge and agree that, subsequent
to the expiration date, the parties may agree to continue the employment
relationship under such terms as they may mutually agree upon.  However, both
parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event they fail to agree upon terms
for the continuation of the Executive's employment subsequent to the expiration
date, the employment of the Executive shall automatically terminate on the
expiration date without any additional liability or obligation on the part of
either party except as otherwise specified in Paragraph 21.

                                COMPENSATION

     3.   During the first year of this Employment Agreement, the Bank shall
compensate the Executive on a salary basis at the bi-weekly rate of $7,692.30
($200,000 annually), payable in accordance with the Bank's ordinary payroll
policies and procedures.  During the 


<PAGE>

second year of this Employment Agreement, the Executive will receive a five 
percent (5%) increase in salary, effective as of January 1, 1997.  During the 
third and final year of the term of this Employment Agreement, the Executive 
will receive another five percent (5%) increase over his salary for the 
preceding year, such increase to be effective as of January 1, 1998.

     Both the Bank and the Executive acknowledge that such compensation and the
other covenants and agreements of the Bank contained herein are fair and
adequate compensation for the Executive's services, and for the mutual promises
described below.

     4.   The Bank and the Executive acknowledge and agree that the Bank shall
reimburse the Executive for all reasonable expenses, including, but not limited
to travel expenses, lodging expenses, meals and entertainment expenses, that the
Executive may incur in the performance of his duties and obligations under this
Employment Agreement.  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Executive shall be required
to submit receipts of other acceptable documentation to verify such expenses
prior to any reimbursements.

     5.   The Bank and the Executive acknowledge and agree that at the end of
each complete calendar quarter (first quarter to be pro-rated), of the
Executive's service pursuant to the terms of this Executive Agreement, the
Executive shall receive bonus compensation, payable 30 days after conclusion of
such quarter ("Bonus").  The Bonus shall be equal to two percent (2%) of the
amount by which the Bank's consolidated quarterly net after tax income, as
reflected on the Bank's Consolidated Report of Condition and Report of Income
("Call Report") filed with the Bank's regulatory authorities ("Quarter's
Income"), exceeds a twenty percent (20%) annualized return on the Bank's
consolidated equity at the end of the preceding quarter ("20% ROE").  The term
"Equity", for purposes of the Bonus calculation shall consist of the Bank's
common stock (and includes any amounts eligible for capital purposes), surplus
and undivided profits accounts, plus any dividends or distributions paid during
such quarter, without giving effect to adjustments required under F.A.S.B. 115,
as reflected on such Call Report.  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if a consolidated net
loss, or if less that 20% ROE, has been reported on the Call Report by the Bank
in any prior quarter of the Executive's employment, no Bonus shall be payable
until and unless any loss is made up and a Quarter's Income, plus the Quarter's
Income from any prior quarter in which no Bonus was earned exceeds 20% ROE.

     6.   The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, at the discretion of the
Bank, certain employee benefits may be provided to the Executive incident to the
Executive's employment with the Bank.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees
that any employee benefits provided to the Executive by the Bank incident to the
Executive's employment are governed by the applicable plan documents, summary
plan descriptions or employment policies, and may be modified, suspended or
revoked at any time, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
applicable documents.  In addition to the salary specified above, the Bank shall
also provide, as partial consideration for this employment agreement, the 


<PAGE>


standard benefits given to all senior level Bank employees plus four (4) weeks
of vacation per year, which vacation shall accrue at the rate of one week
vacation per three months of employment, or portion thereof upon Termination,
and the Executive may carry forward up to two weeks of unused vacation per year.

     7.   The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he shall be employed as
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank.  The Executive covenants and
agrees that he will devote his best efforts and substantially all his working
time to this position with the Bank and its subsidiaries.

     8.   The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the duties and
responsibilities of the Executive required by his position as President and
Chief Executive Officer of the Bank are wholly within the discretion of the
Board of Directors of the Bank, and may be modified, or new duties and
responsibilities imposed by the Board of Directors of the Bank, at any time,
without the approval or consent of the Executive.  However, these duties and
responsibilities may not constitute immoral or unlawful acts or require that the
Executive violate any regulation or directive of a governmental body.  In
addition, all duties and responsibilities must be consistent with the
Executive's role as President and Chief Executive Officer.

     9.   The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, during the term of this
Agreement, he has a fiduciary duty of loyalty to the Bank, and that he will not
engage in any activity during the term of this Agreement, which will or could,
in any significant way, harm the business, business interests, or reputation of
the Bank.

     10.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will not directly or
indirectly engage in competition with the Bank at any time during the existence
of the employment relationship between the Bank and the Executive, and the
Executive will not on his own behalf, or as another's agent, employee, partner,
shareholder or otherwise, engage in any of the same or similar duties and/or
responsibilities required by the Executive's position with the Bank, other than
as an employee of the Bank pursuant to this Employment Agreement.


                               NON-DISCLOSURE

     11.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that certain information
concerning the Bank's services, techniques, pricing, business projections,
business plans and strategies, marketing plans, techniques, assets, customer
contracts, customer needs, and prospective customers is highly sensitive and
confidential, and has been obtained only through the significant effort and
expense to the Bank; and that, as a result, the Executive must agree to treat
this information as highly confidential trade secret information at all times
during the existence of the employment relationship between the Bank and the
Executive, and after the termination of the employment relationship.  The Bank
acknowledges and agrees that the Executive brings to the Bank over twenty years
of experience in services, pricing techniques, business projections, business
plans and strategies, marketing plans, techniques, assets, and customer contacts
previously obtained by the Executive.


<PAGE>

     12.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, subsequent to the
execution of this Employment Agreement, the Executive will have access to
certain confidential and highly sensitive information relating to the Bank
incident to his employment by the Bank, including, but not limited to,
information pertaining to: (i) the identity of the Bank's customers and customer
prospects; (ii) the special needs of the Bank's customers; (iii) confidential
market studies, information, and analyses; (iv) current and prospective
services; (v) business projections; (vi) business plans and strategies; (vii)
financial statements and information; and (viii) special services of the Bank. 
The Executive acknowledges and agrees that this information, if disclosed, could
place the Bank at a competitive disadvantage.  Consequently, the Executive
acknowledges and agrees not to disclose such information to any person who is
not then a current employee of the Bank at any time prior to, or subsequent to,
the termination of his employment without the express, written consent of the
Bank.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary or seemingly
inconsistent herewith, the parties agree that all information referred to in
Paragraphs 11 and 12 shall not be deemed trade secrets or confidential
information of the Bank if such information is already available to the
competitors of the Bank.

                              NON-INTERFERENCE

     13.  The Executive covenants and agrees that, for a period of thirty-six
(36) months subsequent to the termination of his employment, whether such
termination occurs at the insistence of the Bank or the Executive, the Executive
shall not recruit, hire, or attempt to recruit or hire, directly or by assisting
others, any other employees of the Bank, nor shall the Executive contact or
communicate with any other employees of the Bank for the purpose of inducing
other  employees to terminate their employment with the Bank.  For purposes of
this covenant, "other employees" shall refer to employees who are still actively
employed by, or doing business with, the Bank at the time of the attempted
recruiting or hiring.

                                  REMEDIES

     14.  In the event that the Executive violates any of the provisions set
forth in this Employment Agreement relating to NON-DISCLOSURE or NON-
INTERFERENCE, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may suffer
immediate and irreparable harm.  Consequently, the Executive and the Bank
acknowledge and agree that the Bank shall be entitled to immediate injunctive
relief, either by temporary or permanent injunction, to prevent or cure such a
violation.

                                TERMINATION


     15.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Board of Directors of
the Bank reserves the right to terminate his EMPLOYMENT, without cause, for any

covenants and agrees to provide the Executive with the SEVERANCE set forth 
below at Paragraph 22.

               cure such violation or the effects of such gross negligence
               within thirty (30) days after written notice to the Executive by
               the Board specifying in reasonable detail the alleged violation
               or gross negligence;

          b.   In the event the Executive is convicted of a felony, or a

               unlawful harassment, use of illegal drugs, or fighting.

ARBITRATION pursuant to Paragraphs 28-30.  The Executive and the Bank further

                    FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                   OF JANUARY 24, 1996 BETWEEN DAVID C. MEEK
                  ("EXECUTIVE") AND BEAL BANK, S.S.B. ("BANK")

     The Executive and the Bank have entered into an Employment Agreement 
(the "Agreement") dated January 24, 1996, and have agreed to amend such 
Agreement as follows:

     1. Paragraph 1 - Change December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1996.

     2. Paragraph 3 - Delete second and third sentences.

     3. Paragraph 5 - Add the following sentence at the end of the paragraph:

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall not be entitled 
        to be paid a Bonus for the quarter October 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996
        if on or before October 16, 1996 the Bank pays the Executive the 
        severance payment which is hereby agreed to be owing to the Executive 
        in consideration of the mutual agreement of the Bank and Executive
        to shorten the term of this Agreement from December 31, 1998 to
        December 31, 1996.

     4. Paragraph 15 - To be added at the end of the Paragraph:

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is paid the 
        $150,000.00 severance payment described in Paragraph 22 below on or 
        prior to October 16, 1996, the Bank shall not be obligated to make 
        an additional severance payment in accordance with Paragraph 22 of 
        the Agreement if the Agreement is terminated without cause after 
        October 16, 1996.

     5. Paragraph 22 - Replace all of paragraph 22 with the following:

        In consideration of Executive agreeing to the terms of this First 
        Amendment, the Bank shall pay the Executive on or before October 
        16, 1996 the sum of $150,000.00 less statutory payroll deductions, 
        in full consideration of the Company's severance obligations 
        hereunder.

     6. The Bank and the Executive agree that no "good cause" for termination 
of the Agreement and the Executive's employment by the Bank currently exists. 
The parties have agreed, however, to amend the Agreement as provided in this 
First Amendment. Each party agrees this First Amendment has been fully and 
freely entered into without threat or duress and is the voluntary and knowing 
act of each such party.
