                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
                                (unaudited)


NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with general accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to the Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements.  The results
of operations for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.  The
September 30, 1995 consolidated statement of financial condition presented
with the interim financial statements was audited and received an unqualified
opinion.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the InterWest's annual report for
the year ended September 30, 1995.

NOTE B - Net Income per Share

The weighted average shares outstanding during the quarter and nine months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 include the effect of shares held by the Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and stock options granted. Earnings per share for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are calculated on the basis of
6,566,461 and 6,488,381 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively. 
Earnings per share for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
calculated on the basis of 6,553,433 and 6,480,822 weighted average shares
outstanding, respectively.  

NOTE C - Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior financial statements to
conform with current presentation.  Such reclassifications have no effect on
net income.
 

NOTE D- Impaired Loans

On October 1, 1995, InterWest adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ( SFAS ) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. 
It is applicable to all loans except large groups of smaller-balance
homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, loans
measured at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value, leases, and debt
securities (as defined by SFAS No. 115). InterWest considers all single-family
residential (including construction), mobile home and consumer loans to be
smaller balance homogenous loans. SFAS No. 114 also applies to all loans that
are restructured in a troubled debt restructuring.  A troubled debt
restructuring is a restructuring in which the creditor grants a concession to
the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.  However, such loans
restructured prior to the effective date of SFAS No.114 that are performing in
accordance with their restructured terms are accounted for in accordance with
SFAS No. 15, Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt
Restructurings. 

A loan is impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement.  SFAS No. 114 requires that the valuation of impaired loans be
based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan s
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent.  The amount of the impairment and any subsequent changes
are recorded through the provision loan losses as an adjustment to the
allowance for loan losses. 


                                          8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Generally, InterWest evaluates a loan for impairment in accordance with SFAS
No. 114 when it is placed on nonaccrual status or if a loan is internally risk
rated as substandard or doubtful.  The detailed analysis includes techniques
to estimate the fair value of the loan collateral and the existence of
potential alternative sources of repayment.  While an impaired loan will
always be a classified asset, it may or may not be nonaccrual.  Adopting SFAS
No. 114 did not affect InterWest s charge-off policy.  

InterWest normally recognizes interest income on the accrual basis, however,
if the impaired loan is 90 days delinquent or management doubts the
collectibility of the unpaid interest, then interest income is recorded on the
receipt of cash.   

The adoption of SFAS No. 114 had no material impact on the results of
operations or financial condition of InterWest. 

The following is a summary of loans considered to be impaired in accordance
with SFAS No. 114 and the related interest income:

                                                          June 30, 1996

  allowance for loan losses in accordance with SFAS No. 114     $ 4,587

  for loan losses in accordance with SFAS No. 114                     0
                                                          -------------
    Total recorded investment in impaired loans                 $ 4,587

Average recorded investment in impaired loans for the
  three months ended                                            $ 4,903
Interest income recognized for the three months ended               116

Average recorded investment in impaired loans for the
  nine months ended                                               5,089
Interest income recognized for the nine months ended                296


All impaired loans were evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of
the loan s collateral as all impaired loans are collateral dependent.  The
allowance for loan losses on impaired loans as measured in accordance with
SFAS No. 114 was $0 at June 30, 1996.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


On January 10, 1996, InterWest and InterWest Savings Bank entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Mergers  ("Agreement") with Central Bancorporation
("Central"), and its two-wholly owned subsidiaries, Central Washington Bank
and North Central Washington Bank, pursuant to which Central will be merged
into InterWest. During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the stockholders of
InterWest Bancorp and Central approved InterWest's acquisition of Central.  At
June 30, 1996, Central had 10 offices located in central Washington and assets
of $203.3 million, total loans of $132.8 million, total customer deposits of
$181 million, and stockholder equity of $16.5 million.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1996, Central's return on average assets was 1.44% and return
on average equity was 18.32%.  The Agreement provides that Central's common
stock will be exchanged for shares of InterWest common stock pursuant to a
specified exchange ratio.  The aggregate value of the consideration is
approximately $34.5 million, subject to certain adjustments.  Consummation of
the acquisition is subject to several conditions, including receipt of
applicable regulatory approval.  It is anticipated that the merger will be
completed during September of 1996 and will be treated as a pooling-of-
interests.
 
Total assets increased $146.9 million from September 30, 1995 to $1.414
billion at June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
mortgage-backed and related securities of $108.7 million, and an increase in
loans of $54.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in
investment securities of $19.1 million.

During December 1995, InterWest Bancorp took advantage of the one-time amnesty
provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board under SFAS 115, to
transfer $198.5 million mortgage-backed and related securities classified as
held to maturity to available for sale.  Many of those securities transferred
were fixed rate securities. This transfer allowed InterWest to sell $89.4
million of securities which had been previously classified as held to maturity
at a net gain of $211,000.  At June 30, 1996, InterWest has $336.7 million or
65% of its mortgage backed securities classified as available for sale.  The
available for sale portfolio is required to be carried at fair value, thus its
carrying value fluctuates with changes in market conditions. At June 30, 1996,
InterWest has an unrealized loss on securities available for sale of $3.6
million as compared to an unrealized gain of $1.2 million at September 30,
1995.  

Loans receivable increased $54.7 million from September 30, 1995.  Loans
originated totaled $110.2 and $299.9 million for the quarter and nine months
ended June 30, 1996.  Payoffs of existing loans for the quarter and nine
months ended June 30, 1996 were $57.5 and $161.8 million.  Sales of loans for
the quarter and nine months were $1.8 million and $56.9 million, respectively. 


Total liabilities increased a total of $140.4 million for the nine month
period ended June 30, 1996.  This was primarily due to an increase  in
customer deposits of $27.0 million, an increase in  Federal Home Loan Bank
advances of $88.4 million and an increase in securities sold under agreements
to repurchase of $23.6 million.  The increase in customer deposits, Federal
Home Loan Bank advances and repurchase agreements  was principally used to
fund growth in mortgage-backed and related securities and loans receivable.  

Stockholders' equity increased by $6.4 million from $89.9 million at September
30, 1995, to $96.3 million at June 30, 1996.  The increase in stockholders 
equity resulted from after-tax earnings of $11.3 million for the nine month
period, a $400,000 paydown on the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ( ESOP ) loan
and  $189,000 from the issuance of common stock which was partially offset by
a $3.2 million decrease in the unrealized gain (loss) on securities available
for sale and a decrease of $2.3 million representing $.10, $.12 and $.13 per
share cash dividends declared by the Board of Directors for the quarters ended
December 31, 1995, March 31, 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively.

InterWest currently has $187.2 million in loans serviced for others.

Interest is accrued on loans receivable until the loan is 90 days delinquent
or management doubts the collectibility of the loan or the unpaid interest, at
which time InterWest establishes a reserve for any accrued interest.  All
loans on which interest is not being accrued are referred to as non-accrual
loans.  At June 30, 1996, non-accrual loans totaled $2.1 million, consistent
with $2.1 million at September 30, 1995. Total non-performing assets,
including real estate owned through foreclosure, increased to $8.3 million or
0.59 percent of assets at June 30, 1996, compared to $6.3 million or 0.50
percent of assets at September 30, 1995.

Net Income

The Bank's net income after taxes for the quarter and the nine months ended
June 30, 1996 was $3.9 and $11.3 million compared to $2.8 and $8.6 million for
the like periods a year ago.  

Interest Income and Expense 


Net interest income increased $3.2 million to $10.9 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, compared to $7.7 million for the same period a year ago. 
For the nine months ended June 30, 1996 net interest income increased $6.5
million to $30.2 million, compared to $23.7 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 1995.  During fiscal 1995, InterWest experienced a decrease in its
net interest margin which was a result of rising short-term rates and falling
long-term rates. During 1996, InterWest's focus on originating adjustable rate
mortgages and investing in adjustable rate securities has had a positive
impact on earnings and net interest margin as those adjustable rate assets
began to reprice.  The net interest margin for the quarter and nine months
ended June 30, 1996 was 3.38% and 3.27% as compared to 2.96% and 3.08% for
the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1995.   

Interest income for the quarter and nine months ended June 30,1996 was $26.4
and $76.7 million compared to $20.9 and $61.1 million for the same periods a
year ago.  The increase in interest income was after mortgage-backed and
related security premium  amortization of $400,000 and  $1.5 million  for the
quarter and nine  months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. Premium
amortization was $950,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and $800,000 for
the nine month period ended June 30, 1995.  Premium and discount amortization
are affected by prepayments of mortgages. The yield on earning assets
increased 18 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to 8.06% as
compared to 7.88% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  For the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 the yield on earning assets increased 31 basis points to
8.12% as compared to 7.81% for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  These
increases were primarily due to an increase in the loan yield from 8.56% to
9.00% for the quarter and from 8.38% to 9.01% for the nine months as
adjustable rate loans began to reprice upwards.  

Interest expense increased 18% or $2.3 million from $13.0 million a year ago
to $15.3 million for the current quarter.  For the nine months ended June 30,
1996 interest expense was $45.8 million , a $8.8 million increase from $37.0
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The cost of funds was  4.79%
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 which was a 30 basis point decrease from
the cost of funds of 5.09% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  InterWest's
cost of funds increased 3 basis points from 4.95% for the nine months ended
June 30, 1995 compared to 4.98% for the nine months ended June 30, 1996.

Provision and Allowance for Losses on Loans


The allowance for losses on loans totaled $4.9 million (0.61 percent of loans)
at June 30, 1996 compared to $4.3 million (0.57 percent of loans) at September
30, 1995. The provision for losses on loans increased to $210,000 for
the current quarter as compared to $150,000 for the like quarter a year ago. 
The provision for loan losses also increased for the nine months ended June
30, 1996 to $760,000 as compared to $450,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 1995. The increased provision reflect s InterWest s anticipated entrance
into commercial banking.  The provision for loan losses reflects management's
quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans.  In
determining adequacy, management considers changes in the size and composition
of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, current and anticipated
economic conditions and other factors.  The provision for loan losses on
impaired loans is measured in accordance with SFAS No. 114.  The allowance for
loan losses on impaired loans was $0 at June 30, 1996.

Other Income

Other income increased 5.3 percent or $800,000 from $1.8 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995, to $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1996. Other income also increased for the nine months ended June 30, 1996
to $7.5 million as compared to $6.0 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1995.  The quarter increase was primarily due to increases in service fees of
$700,000, an increase in brokered loan rebate and discount  income of $200,000
and an increase in gain on sale of real estate owned and held for development
of $250,000.  The nine month period increase was primarily due to increases on
the sale of securities of $250,000, an increase in service fees of $1.5
million, an increase in discount and rebate income of $500,000 and an increase
in the gain on sale of loans of $550,000.  The quarterly increase was
partially offset by a decrease in the gain on sale of securities of $300,000. 
These quarterly and six month increases were offset by a decrease in the gain
on the sale of servicing of $150,000 and $1.8 million from the similar periods
of 1995.    

Other Expense

Other expense increased 42 percent to $7.4 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1996, from $5.2 million for the same quarter last year.  For the nine
months ended June 30, 1996, other expense increased to $20.5 million from
$16.6 million a year ago.  These increase are largely attributable to the
acquisition of Cornerstone Northwest Mortgage.  Cornerstone has approximately
70 employees and had expenses of $850,000 for the quarter and $1.7 million for
the nine month period ended June 30, 1996.  The remaining increase is
primarily due to the addition of two branch offices and $250,000 in expenses
associated with the proposed acquisition of Central Bancorporation. 


InterWest has consistently endeavored to become more efficient in its
operation.  One commonly accepted

                                          16

measure of a bank's operating efficiency is the ratio of total operating
expenses to total revenue (net interest income and other income).  For the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, this ratio was 55.1% as compared to 55.3% for the
quarter a year ago.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, this ratio was
54.4% as compared to  56.1% for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995.   

Federal Income Tax

The federal income tax expense for the quarter and nine months ended June 30,
1996, was $2.1 million and $5.9 million, compared to $1.5 million and $4.5
million for the same periods last year. The effective tax rates for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 1996  were 35.0% and 34.4% compared to
34.5% and 34.1% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1995. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

InterWest must maintain adequate liquidity to meet demands for deposits
outflow, loan originations, and normal operating costs. The primary sources of
liquidity are deposit generations, loan principal and interest payments, sales
of mortgage loans, principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed and related
securities, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and reverse repurchase agreements.
InterWest has a credit line available with the Federal Home Loan Bank of 40
percent of total assets. Prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed and related
securities, deposit inflows and outflows are affected significantly by
interest rates, general economic conditions and other factors.

At June 30, 1996, InterWest had commitments to originate mortgage loans
totaling $60.1 million and undisbursed funds on mortgage loans totaling $62.1
million. It is expected that these commitments and undisbursed funds will
be funded and disbursed in the normal course of operations from InterWest's
regular sources of funds and liquidity as of June 30, 1996. 

InterWest Bancorp, Inc's wholly-owned subsidiary, InterWest Savings Bank is a
state chartered savings bank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) placed additional emphasis on the importance
of a financial institution's capital levels.  During 1992, the FDIC
implemented new regulations that establish the amount of capital for each of
the FDICIA-established categories of institutions.  Depending on the Bank's
FDICIA category classification, the FDIC may restrict certain activities of
the Bank, including acceptance of brokered deposits or offering interest rates
on deposits that are significantly higher than the prevailing rates.
Management believes that the Bank will continue to maintain its minimum
capital requirements in the foreseeable future.  However, events beyond the
control of the Bank, such as a downturn in the economy in areas were the
Bank has most of its loans, could adversely affect future earnings and,
consequently, the ability of the bank to meet its future minimum capital
requirements.  The capital requirements under FDICIA are defined as follows:

                                Total          Tier I
                                Risk-Based     Risk-Based
                                Capital        Capital      Leverage
FDICIA Category                 Ratio          Ratio        Ratio     
                                -----          -----        -----
Well capitalized                10%            6%           5%
Adequately capitalized          8%             4%           4%
Undercapitalized                Below 8%       Below 4%     Below 4%
Significantly undercapitalized  Below 6%       Below 3%     Below 3%
Critically undercapitalized                                 2% or less

At June 30, 1996, the Bank was in compliance with the well-capitalized
requirements as follows:

                                            Required        Actual
Tier I capital to risk-based assets             6%          13.12%
Total capital to risk-based assets             10%          13.79%
Leverage ratio                                  5%           6.56%

The above ratios do not include unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale which are excluded from the ratios by the federal
regulatory agencies.
