                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
                                 (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, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year. The September 30, 1996 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, 1996.

On August 31, 1996, InterWest acquired Central Bancorporation (Central) of
Wenatchee, Washington, whose principle subsidiary was Central Washington Bank.
As the transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, prior period
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts of Central as if
the companies were combined for all periods presented.

NOTE B - Net Income per Share
-----------------------------
The weighted average shares outstanding during the quarter and nine months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 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, 1997 and 1996 are calculated on the basis of 8,217,875
and 8,058,434 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively. Earnings per
share for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are calculated on the
basis of 8,192,517 and 8,028,794 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 - Accounting Pronouncements
----------------------------------
Effective October 1, 1996, InterWest adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 121 "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of ". This statement requires that when
InterWest might be unable to recover, through future operations or sales, the
carrying amount of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets
and goodwill, an impairment loss be recorded through a valuation allowance for
the impaired asset. Such assets are assessed quarterly for other-than-temporary
impairment. Impairment is measured based on the present value of expected cash
flows for the asset and its eventual disposition. The adoption of this statement
had no material impact on InterWest's financial condition or results of
operations.

Effective October 1, 1996 InterWest adopted SFAS No.122 "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights" which requires that mortgage servicing rights be capitalized
when acquired either through the purchase or origination of mortgage loans that
are subsequently sold or securitized with the servicing rights retained. Prior
to the adoption of SFAS No. 122, InterWest did not capitalize mortgage servicing
rights.


                                     8

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
SFAS No. 122 also requires an enterprise, on a periodic basis, to assess the
capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of
those rights. For this analysis, SFAS No. 122 specifies that mortgage servicing
rights be stratified based on one or more predominant risk characteristics and
any resulting impairment is to be recognized through a valuation allowance for
each impaired stratum. InterWest evaluates mortgage servicing rights for
impairment on a quarterly basis using a fair valuation model which incorporates
estimated future servicing income, discount rates, prepayment speeds and default
rates.

Mortgage servicing rights are included in other assets and are amortized as an
offset to services fees in proportion to and over the period of estimated net
servicing income not to exceed 15 years. The adoption of SFAS No. 122 did not
have a material effect on InterWest's financial condition or results of
operations.

Effective January 1, 1997 InterWest adopted SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" which
supersedes SFAS No. 122. This statement requires that accounting and reporting
standards for the transfer of and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities be based on consistent application of
financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under this approach,
after a transfer of financial assets, InterWest recognizes the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes
financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities
when extinguished. This statement provides consistent standards for
distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that
are secured borrowings. Provisions of SFAS No. 125 that deal with securities
lending, repurchase and dollar repurchase agreements and the recognition of
collateral will not be adopted until January 1, 1998. The adoption of SFAS No.
125 did not have a material effect on InterWest's financial condition or results
of operations.

In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128
"Earnings per Share". This statement simplifies the standards for computing
earnings per share and makes them comparable to international earnings per share
standards. It requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share
on the face of the income statement. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution
and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity. This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997; earlier
application is not permitted. Management does not believe the adoption of this
statement will have a material impact on InterWest's financial condition or
results of operations.

       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                         -------------------------
Total assets increased $121.0 million from September 30, 1996 to $1.833 billion
at June 30, 1997. During the current fiscal year, InterWest began the process of
restructuring the interest-earning asset composition by decreasing the
percentage of the investment and mortgage-backed and related securities
portfolio and increasing the loan portfolio. The loan portfolio increased by
$126.0 million from $976.0 million at September 30, 1996, to $1.102 billion as
of June 30, 1997. This represents an increase from 60 percent of
interest-earning assets as of September 30, 1996 to 64 percent as of June 30,
1997. Investment and mortgage-backed and related securities decreased $29.4
million from $605.6 million at September 30, 1996 to $576.2 million as of June
30, 1997. Investment and mortgage-backed securities represent 34 percent of
interest-earning assets as of June 30, 1997, a 4 percent decrease from September
30, 1996. This change in interest-earning asset composition would have been more
significant, however, during December 1996, InterWest securitized $43.8 million
of mortgage loans, the majority of which have been sold as of June 30, 1997.
This strategy of restructuring the interest-earning asset composition should
have a positive impact on net interest income.

As of June 30, 1997, InterWest has $433.8 million or 75 percent of its
investment and mortgage backed and related 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, 1997, InterWest has an unrealized loss on securities available for sale
of $4.4 million as compared to an unrealized loss of $4.5 million at September
30, 1996.

Loans receivable increased $126.0 million from September 30, 1996. During the
quarter, InterWest had an increase in its lending volume from $126.3 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996, to $162.2 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1997. Fiscal year to date loan originations are $388.9 million, an increase
from $346.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. InterWest had an
increase in its mortgage lending volume from $113.6 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, to $139.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
Fiscal year to date mortgage loan originations are $336.9 million, up from
$319.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. This increase is due to
current year lending originations from Cornerstone Northwest Mortgage, Inc.
which primarily delivers single-family mortgage loans to InterWest Bank. During
fiscal year 1996, Cornerstone primarily brokered mortgage loans to other
financial institutions. Mortgage loan originations generated by Cornerstone
delivered to InterWest Bank were $23.7 million and $63.7 million for the quarter
and nine months ended June 30, 1997. It is anticipated that mortgage loan
originations will continue to increase during the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1997 due to a strengthening local economy, seasonal increases and high volumes
in the mortgage loan pipeline.

InterWest has experienced significant increases in consumer and business
lending. Consumer loan originations have increased by $1.2 million and $5.7
million as compared to the quarterly and nine month periods a year ago, which is
primarily due to increased home equity lending. During this fiscal year,
InterWest has initiated a concentrated effort to increase agricultural lending
which resulted in business loan increases of $9.7 million for the quarter and
$20.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $847,000 and
$468,000 for the like periods a year ago.

InterWest currently has $269.5 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, 1997, non-accrual loans totaled $4.8 million, an increase from $3.2
million at September 30, 1996. Total non-performing assets, including real
estate owned through foreclosure, increased to $11.7 million or 0.64 percent of
assets at June 30, 1997, compared to $9.2 million or 0.54 percent of assets at
September 30, 1996.

Total liabilities increased $107.0 million from September 30, 1996 to $1.708
billion at June 30, 1997. This growth is primarily due to an increase in
customer deposits of $53.2 million and borrowings of $61.4 million to fund loan
growth. Certificates of deposit increased $48.1 million and currently represent
68 percent of customer deposits. Transaction account balances have increased
$5.1 million from September 30, 1996 and currently represent 32 percent of total
customer deposits. It is management's strategy to increase the percentage of
transaction accounts to approximately 40 percent of the deposit base by the end
of the decade, which should have a positive impact on net interest income,
service fee revenue and market penetration. InterWest has added a net total of:
250 business checking accounts, 6,750 consumer checking accounts and 8,436 check
card accounts since September 30, 1996. This represents annualized growth rates
of 12 percent, 18 percent and 109 percent respectively. InterWest has installed
9 new automated teller machines during the current fiscal year which results in
a total of 27 in operation as of June 30, 1997.

Stockholders' equity increased by $13.2 million from $111.0 million at September
30, 1996, to $124.2 million at June 30, 1997. The increase in stockholders'
equity resulted from after-tax earnings of $15.1 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1997, a $312,000 pay down on the Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("ESOP") loan, and $1.2 million from the exercise of common stock options,
offset by $3.4 million representing $0.43 per share cash dividends. Book value
per share increased to $15.46 at June 30, 1997, from $14.02 at September 30,
1996. Stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets increased from 6.48
percent at September 30, 1996, to 6.78 percent at June 30, 1997.

Results of Operations
---------------------
Net income increased to $0.63 per share or $5.1 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997, a 5 percent increase from $0.60 per share or $4.8 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996. For the nine months ended June 30, 1997 earnings
were $1.84 per share or $15.1 million, a 12 percent increase compared to $1.64
per share or $13.2 million for the same period one year ago. Increased net
income is primarily due to expansion and diversification of the balance sheet.
Operational costs have increased to develop the infrastructure for future
growth.

InterWest's return on average stockholders' equity for the quarter ended June
30, 1997, was 16.81 percent, a decrease from 17.07 percent for the same quarter
last year. Return on average stockholders' equity for the nine months ended June
30, 1997 was 17.04 percent, an increase from 15.91 percent for the same period a
year ago. Return on average assets for the quarter was 1.13 percent, a decrease
from 1.21 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The fiscal year to date
return on average assets decreased slightly to 1.14 percent from 1.15 percent a
year ago.

Net Interest Income
-------------------
Net interest income before provision for losses on loans rose to $14.2 million
and $42.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 1997, compared
to $13.5 million and $38.1 million for the same periods a year ago. These
increase are primarily due to growth in interest-earning assets which is
partially offset by a decrease in the margin earned on these assets. Net
interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was 3.33 percent as compared
to 3.61 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Fiscal year to date net
interest margin is 3.41 percent, a decrease from 3.52 percent for the nine month
period ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in net interest margin is due to
greater increases in rates for short-term deposits and borrowings than rates
earned on loans and a flat yield curve.

Interest income for the quarter and nine months ended June 30,1997 was $34.6
million and $100.9 million compared to $30.4 million and $88.7 million for the
same periods a year ago. This increase was due to growth in interest-earning
assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in the yield earned on those
assets. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 8.11 percent for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, compared to 8.13 percent for the quarter ended June
30, 1996. The fiscal year to date yield on interest-earning assets has decreased
to 8.11 percent from 8.19 percent one year ago.

Interest expense increased to $20.4 million for the current quarter compared to
$16.9 million for the 

                                     12

<PAGE>
quarter ended June 30, 1996. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30,
1997 is $58.5 million, an increase from $50.6 million for the same period one
year ago. These increases are due to an increase in the balance of interest-
bearing liabilities and an increase in the cost of funds from the prior year.
The increase in interest-bearing liabilities has been necessary to fund the
growth in interest-earning assets.

Provision and Allowance for Losses on Loans
-------------------------------------------
The allowance for losses on loans totaled $8.6 million (0.78 percent of loans)
at June 30, 1997 compared to $8.1 million (0.82 percent of loans) at September
30, 1996. InterWest attempts to assess the risk level inherent in the loan
portfolio and provide adequate reserves to meet these risks as a part of the
ongoing review of the loan portfolio. Non-performing assets and delinquency
trends are key elements in determining the allowance for losses on loans. The
allowance for losses on loans is also determined by taking into consideration
general economic conditions in the market InterWest serves, historical loss
experience, individual loan review findings, loan mix and the level of loans
relative to the allowance for losses on loans.

The following tables summarize the activity in allowance for losses on loans
during the quarter and nine months ended June 30 (in thousands):

Other Income
------------
Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, increased to $3.4 million from
$3.2 million for the like quarter one year ago. This is primarily due to a
$200,000 increase in service fee revenue. Fiscal year to date other income
increased to $9.9 million from $9.2 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1996. Decreases of $750,000 in the gains on the sale of securities and loans are
more than offset by: an increase of $750,000 in service fees, $375,000 in
mortgage servicing rights recognized, a $150,000 increase in other fee income, a
$62,000 increase in revenues from InterWest's subsidiaries (InterWest Financial
Services, Inc. and InterWest Insurance Agency, Inc.), and an increase of $53,000
in gains on the sale of real estate held for sale and for development.

Other Expense
-------------
Consistent with current year and planned future balance sheet growth, operating
expenses increased to $9.6 million and $28.5 million for the quarter and nine
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $9.2 million and 



                                    15

$26.5 million for the like periods one year ago. Increases in general and
administrative, data processing and occupancy expenses are due to bank expansion
and diversification, enhanced consumer and business lending, and technological
updates in the branch structure. These increases are partially offset by a
decrease in FDIC premium rates and the administrative consolidations from the
merger with Central Bancorporation.

InterWest has consistently endeavored to become more efficient in its operation.
One commonly accepted 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, 1997, this ratio was 54.2 percent as
compared to 55.1 percent for the quarter a year ago. The fiscal year to date
efficiency ratio is 54.5, an improvement from 55.9 percent for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996.

Federal Income Tax
------------------
The federal income tax expense for the quarter and nine months ended June 30,
1997, was $2.7 million and $7.9 million, compared to $2.5 million and $6.9
million for the same periods last year. The effective tax rates for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 1997 were 34.8 percent and 34.5 percent compared
to 34.0 percent and 34.4 percent for the three and nine months ended June 30,
1996.

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.

InterWest Bancorp, Inc. and its banking subsidiary, InterWest Bank (the Bank)
are subject to regulatory capital requirements. Regulated by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the State of Washington Division of Banking.
InterWest Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital as a
percentage of regulatory assets. The Banks total regulatory capital must equal 8
percent of risk weighted assets, and one-half of that 8 percent must consist of
core capital.

At June 30, 1997, the Bank had the following regulatory capital ratios
calculated in accordance with FDIC standards:

                                       Required          Actual

Tier I capital to risk-based assets    4%                13.00%
Total capital to risk-based assets     8%                13.91%
Leverage ratio                         4%                6.79%

InterWest's management believes that under the current regulations the Bank will
continue to meet minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.
However, events beyond the control of the Bank, such as a downturn in the
economy in areas where the Bank has most of the its loans, could adversely
affect future earnings and, consequently, the ability of the Bank to meet future
minimum capital requirements.

FDIC regulations establish the amount of capital for each of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (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
that prevailing rates. In general terms, the capital definitions are 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

Total risk-based capital ratio is the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets. Tier I risk-based capital ration is the ratio of core capital to
risk-weighted assets. Leverage ratio is the ratio of core capital to adjusted
total assets. At June 30, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with the
well-capitalized capital requirements.

InterWest had paid annual cash dividends for 13 years. At December 1990,
InterWest began paying quarterly dividends which it intends to continue to pay.
The amount of future dividends will be based on InterWest's earnings and
financial condition and is restricted by federal and state tax laws and by tax
considerations related to thrift institutions. Generally, InterWest is precluded
from paying dividends on its common stock if its regulatory capital would be
reduced to below regulatory capital requirements. InterWest is also restricted
by income appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income
taxes.
