INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
___________________________________





To the Board of Directors and
    Shareholders of Inland Empire Bank:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inland Empire
Bank and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Bank's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Inland Empire
Bank and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                     _______



NOTE  1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inland Empire
Bank (the Bank) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Inland Securities
Corporation and Pioneer American Property Company.  All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Lines of Business

Inland Empire Bank, opened in March of 1948, is a state-chartered, Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured, commercial bank doing business
in the state of Oregon.  Inland Securities Corporation is organized to make
a market in Inland Empire Bank stock.  Pioneer American Property Company owns
a building in Pendleton and leases it to Inland Empire Bank.

Presentation

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 and 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. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Securities

In 1994 the Bank adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities".  This Standard requires that investments in securities be
classified at acquisition as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading
securities.

Held-to-maturity securities are acquired with the intent and ability to hold
to maturity, are stated at cost, and are adjusted for accretion of discounts
and amortization of premiums.  Available-for-sale securities are held for
indefinite periods of time, are stated at fair value,  and may be sold in
response to movements in market interest rates or cash flow requirements prior
to maturity.  Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are
excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity net of deferred taxes.  The Bank held no trading
securities during 1995 or 1994.

Interest income on debt securities is included in income using the level yield
method.  Gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized by the
specific identification method.

Loans and Income Recognition

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, adjusted for deferred loan
origination fees and costs and an allowance for loan loss.  Interest on loans
is calculated using the simple interest method on daily balances of the
principal amount outstanding.  Loan origination fees, net of origination
costs, are amortized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to
yield.

                                     _______


In 1995 the Bank adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", as amended by SFAS 118, which prescribes
a valuation methodology for impaired loans.  Generally, a loan is considered
impaired if management believes that it is probable that all amounts due will
not be collected according to the contractual terms.  

Adoption did not have a material effect on financial position or results of
operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the allowance for loan
losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely.  The allowance is an amount that management considers adequate to
absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based
on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. 
The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature
and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of
specific problem loans, and current economic conditions.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. 
Additions, betterments and replacements of major units are capitalized. 
Expenditures for normal maintenance, repairs and replacements of
minor units are charged to expense as incurred.  Gains or losses realized from
sales or retirements are reflected in operations currently.  Unrecovered cost
of assets traded is added to the cost of assets acquired in the trade.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on the
straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated
useful life.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected
future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated
on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences
are expected to reverse.

Net Income Per Share

The net income per share computations are based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during each year, after giving retroactive effect to
stock dividends, if applicable.

Mortgage Banking Activities

The Bank originates conventional and federally insured residential mortgage
loans for sale in the secondary market.  Mortgage loans are sold without
recourse and, generally, with no servicing rights retained.  Mortgage loans
held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market.  Gains on the sale
of mortgage loans are recognized at the time funds are received in closing
from the third-party investor.

On December 29, 1995 investment securities with amortized cost of $48,988,200
and estimated fair value of $49,069,388 were transferred from Held-To-Maturity
designation to Available-For-Sale.  Such transfer resulted from management's
one-time reassess-ment of the appropriate classification of the investment
portfolio based on guidance issued in 1995 by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board.

There were no sales of investments in 1995 or 1994.  At December 31, 1995
securities with amortized cost of approximately $9,113,000, and estimated fair
value of $9,151,000, were pledged to secure public and other deposits as
required by law.

Loans which were impaired and not accruing interest were approximately
$163,000 and $223,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Interest
income which would have been recognized on such nonaccrual loans if they had
remained current was approximately $8,000 and $16,000 during 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Loans contractually past due 90 days or more on which the Bank
continued to accrue interest was approximately $33,000 and $184,000 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.  The unpaid principal balances of serviced loans were
approximately $13,451,000 and $11,719,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Bank grants agribusiness, commercial, residential and consumer loans to
customers throughout the Northeastern Oregon region.  Although the Bank has a
diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to
honor their contracts is dependent upon the agribusiness economic sector.

The Bank's agricultural loans totaled approximately $20,455,000 or 24 percent
of its loan portfolio at December 31, 1995 and approximately $20,377,000 or 26
percent at December 31, 1994.  The Bank's policy for requiring collateral
on agricultural loans does not differ substantially from collateral
requirements in its other lending.

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank makes loans to its officers,
present and former directors, principal shareholders and firms in which they
have an interest, and expects to continue making such loans in the future. 
These loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates
and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions
with unrelated parties.   The total of such related party loans was
approximately $1,092,000 and $1,305,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
Bank has commitments to lend $1,899,000 to related parties at December 31,
1995.  These commitments are included in the total of commitments presented in
Note 11.

The Bank leases three of its facilities from principal shareholders,
directors, and officers under noncancelable operating lease agreements that
expire through 2005. 

Future minimum payments required under these leases are as follows:

NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers, the Bank commits to
extensions of credit and issues standby letters of credit.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those
instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk at December 31 are as
Follows:                                               1995       1994
                                                    ----------  ----------
    Commitments to Extend Credit                   $21,889,000 $19,456,000
    Standby Letters of Credit                           67,500     127,500

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any contractual condition.  Commitments generally
have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee.  Since some of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the
Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

NOTE 12 - FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following disclosures are made in accordance with provisions of SFAS No.
107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments".  The use of
different assumptions and estimation methods could have a significant effect
on the fair value amounts.  Accordingly, the estimates of fair value herein
are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that might be realized in a
current market.

The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments at December 31,
1995 are as follows:

                                                   Carrying      Estimated     
                                                    Amount       Fair Value    
                                                  ----------     ----------
    Financial Assets:
        Cash and Cash Equivalents                $22,220,084    $22,220,084
        Investment Securities Available-For-Sale  49,069,388     49,069,388
        Loans, Net of Allowance for Loan Losses   82,856,201     83,416,058 
        Interest Receivable                        1,493,575      1,493,575
    Financial Liabilities:
        Deposits                                (138,982,738)  (139,070,451)
        Short-Term Borrowings                       (519,871)      (519,871)
        Interest Payable                            (278,182)      (278,182)

Cash and Cash Equivalents--The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Investment Securities--Fair value is based on quoted market prices.  If a
quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted
market prices for similar securities.

Loans--Fair value of fixed-rate loans is estimated by discounting the
contractual cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be
made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
maturities.  For variable rate loans, carrying amount approximates fair value.

Deposits--Fair value of demand, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits
is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  Fair value of time
deposits is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows using the
interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. 
The estimated fair values of deposits do not take into account the benefit
that results from low-cost funding such deposits provide.

Short-Term Borrowings--The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Interest Receivable and Payable--The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments--Consist primarily of commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit.  The fair value of these
commitments, based on fees currently charged for similar commitments, is not
material.

FIRST SAVINGS BANK OF WASHINGTON BANCORP INC. COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF INLAND
EMPIRE BANK


     Walla Walla WA--August 1, 1996--First Savings Bank of Washington Bancorp,
Inc. (NASDAQ:FWWB), the parent company for First Savings Bank of Washington,
today announced it closed its acquisition of Inland Empire Bank (IEB) of
Hermiston, Oregon.  The Bancorp paid a total of $32.5 million in cash for all
the outstanding shares of IEB.

     Founded in 1948, Inland Empire Bank had approximately $155 million in
total assets, $135 million in deposits, $89 million in net loans and $19
million in shareholders  equity at June 30, 1996.  IEB operates full service
offices in Hermiston, Pendleton, Boardman, Stanfield and Umatilla, Oregon. 
The combined institutions will have 21 full service offices in nine counties
in Washington and Oregon.

     Inland Empire Bank, with its specialization in agricultural, commercial
and consumer lending and its geographic proximity, is a superb addition to our
franchise,  said Gary Sirmon, President and CEO of
First Savings Bank.   We believe the acquisition of IEB will contribute to the
Bancorp s earnings in fiscal
1997.
 
     Both IEB and First Savings Bank will operate as wholly-owned subsidiaries
of the Bancorp.   We believe this combination will be mutually beneficial to
the customers, communities and employees of both institutions.  IEB is a solid
institution with a history of community involvement in an attractive market. 
By building on the special areas of expertise of each bank, the combined
institutions will provide an enhanced range of community banking services in
their respective markets,  Sirmon added.

     Founded in 1890, First Savings Bank of Washington operates 16 branches in
communities throughout central and eastern Washington.  In addition, First
Savings Bank operates lending offices in Bellevue, Puyallup and Spokane,
Washington.  The core of First Savings Bank s lending business is residential
loans for the purchase of homes and for home construction.  At June 30, 1996
the Bancorp had total assets of $765 million and total shareholders  equity of
$149 million. On Wednesday, July31, 1996, Bancorp s stock closed at $15.44 
per share.
