Safe Harbor Clause. This report contains certain  "forward-looking  statements."
The Company  desires to take  advantage of the "safe  harbor"  provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement
for the express purpose of availing itself of the protection of such safe harbor
with respect to all of such forward-looking  statements.  These  forward-looking
statements,  which are included in the pro forma  disclosures,  describe  future
plans or strategies and include the Company's  expectation  of future  financial
results. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and
similar expressions identify forward-looking  statements.  The Company's ability
to predict  results or the effect of future plans or  strategies  is  inherently
uncertain.  Factors  which could affect  actual  results  include  interest rate
trends,  the  general  economic  climate in the  Company's  market  area and the
country as a whole, and changes in federal and state legislation.  These factors
should be considered in evaluating  the  forward-looking  statements,  and undue
reliance should not be placed on such statements.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF BRANCH ASSETS ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES ASSUMED

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Effective  July 18, 1997,  Klamath  First  Bancorp,  Inc.  acquired  through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Klamath First Federal Savings and Loan Association (the
"Association"),  twenty-five branches of Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. under the terms
of a Purchase and Assumption  Agreement  dated March 5, 1997 (the  "Agreement").
The acquisition of the twenty-five branches has been accounted for as a purchase
transaction  whereby all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at
their  fair  values  as of  July  18,  1997  (the  "Acquisition  Date")  in  the
accompanying  Schedule of Branch Assets  Acquired and  Liabilities  Assumed from
Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. Fair values were determined by market studies  conducted
by management and outside  advisors,  and  management  deems the results of such
studies to be indicators of fair values as of the Acquisition Date.

Nature of Operations

The Company and subsidiary  provide banking and limited  nonbanking  services to
its  customers  who are  located in 22  counties  in the State of Oregon.  These
services primarily include attracting deposits from the general public and using
such funds,  together  with other  borrowings,  to invest in various real estate
loans, consumer loans,  commercial loans,  investment  securities,  and mortgage
backed and related securities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Schedule in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make assumptions that result in estimates that
affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Schedule. Actual experience
could differ from those estimates.

(2) Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

    Land                            $  926
    Buildings and improvements       3,819
    Furniture and equipment            285
                                    ------
                                    $5,030

(3)  Core Deposit Intangible

Under the terms of the  Agreement,  the  Company  paid a premium of 6.51% of the
average  deposit  balance at the  branches for the thirty days prior to July 18,
1997. The average  deposit  balance for the thirty-day  period was  $251,565,000
resulting  in a  calculated  premium  of  $16,377,000.  According  to  generally
accepted  accounting  principles,  this  calculated  premium  was  allocated  to
premises  and  equipment  in  the  amount  of  $2,990,000  and to  core  deposit
intangible in the amount of  $13,387,000.  The recorded core deposit  intangible
will be amortized over the estimated life of the deposit base of 8.1 years.

NARRATIVE DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE ACQUISITION

Conversion Costs

In connection with the acquisition of the Branches, the Company expects to incur
$789,000 in pre-tax  merger  related  costs.  All these costs are expected to be
incurred by fiscal year end  September  30,  1997.  Costs  primarily  consist of
legal,   accounting  and  investment   banking  fees  directly  related  to  the
acquisition  and  one-time  costs  connected  with  converting  customers to new
systems  and  accounts.  These  amounts  will be  recorded  in  accordance  with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  amortized to expense over five
years.

Impact on Liquidity

Cash  received to offset the  assumption  of deposit  liabilities  was initially
invested in overnight  federal  funds.  Over the  subsequent two week period the
proceeds were reinvested in commercial paper (13.2%),  U.S.  Treasury and agency
securities  (45.4%),  corporate bonds (22.4%),  and callable  agency  securities
(19.0%).  Except  for the  commercial  paper  which  matures  over the next nine
months, investment maturities are distributed throughout the next five years.

Regulatory Capital

The following tables illustrate the compliance by the Association with currently
applicable  regulatory  capital  requirements  at  June  30,  1997,  before  the
acquisition and at July 31, 1997 reflecting the effects of the acquisition.  The
Association  continues to be in compliance  with applicable  regulatory  capital
requirements.

IMPACT ON OPERATING RESULTS

Presented  below is the Company's  estimated pro forma income and expense before
taxes  of the  acquired  branches  on a  stand  alone  basis.  All  amounts  are
annualized.  Pro forma income and expense information available at July 18, 1997
may not be  indicative  of  actual  results  over the next  twelve  months.  The
estimates  related  to  interest  income  and  interest  expense  are based upon
assumptions  regarding  interest  rates  which  may  change  based  upon  market
conditions. Service fee income consists primarily of anticipated service charges
on  deposit  accounts  and safe  deposit  box  fees,  net of  related  expenses.
Assumptions  regarding  service fee income are critical to results of operations
and variance of actual experience from the assumptions used could  significantly
impact those results.
