                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            For the six months ended
                           December 31, 1998 and 1997


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         ---------------------

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not
include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the six
months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year.

2.       PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
         ---------------------------

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Foundation Savings Bank
("Foundation"). All significant intercompany items have been eliminated.

3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE
         ------------------

         Basic earnings per share for the six month periods ended December 31,
1998 and 1997, were computed based on weighted average shares outstanding of
436,587 and 433,267, respectively, which gives effect to a reduction for the
19,651 and 25,454 unallocated shares held by the Foundation Bancorp, Inc.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") at such dates, respectively, in
accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 ("SOP 93-6") issued by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

4.       EFFECTS OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
         -------------------------------------------

         [TEXT DELETED]
         --------------

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires
that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. It does not
require a specific format for that financial statement but requires that an
enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the
period in that financial statement.

         SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (1) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (2) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive 



                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the
equity section of a statement of financial position. SFAS No. 130 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Reclassification of
financial statements for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is
required.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 significantly changes
the way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about reportable segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 uses a "management approach" to disclose financial and descriptive
information about an enterprise's reportable operating segments which is based
on reporting information the way that management organizes the segments within
the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. For
many enterprises, the management approach will likely result in more segments
being reported. In addition, SFAS No. 131 requires significantly more
information to be disclosed for each reportable segment than is presently being
reported in annual financial statements and requires that selected information
be reported in interim financial statements. SFAS No. 131 is effective for
financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Because the
Company has no non-banking subsidiaries, SFAS No. 131 will not affect the
Company.


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

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION CHANGES FROM JUNE 30, 1998 TO DECEMBER 31,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1998
----

         At December 31, 1998, the Company's assets totaled $34.7 million, a
decrease of $1.5 million, or 4.1%, from the $36.2 million total at June 30,
1998. Loans receivable totaled $20.0 million at December 31, 1998, a decrease of
$1.8 million, or 8.3%, from the June 30, 1998 total, resulting from borrowers
refinancing to obtain lower interest rates and the Company's sale of lower rate,
long term mortgages in the secondary market. Investment securities totaled
$406,273 at December 31, 1998, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 86.2%, from the
June 30, 1998 total, the result of maturities and prepayments. These changes
funded a decrease in deposits of $1.4 million, or 5.1%, as higher costing
deposits were not renewed. Cash and equivalents were $7.0 million at December
31, 1998, an increase of $806,817, or 13.0%, over the $6.2 million at June 30,
1998. Investments in certificates of deposit increased $1.0 million, or 333.5%,
and mortgage-backed securities increased $1.2 million, or 30.0%, as the Company
sought more liquid, shorter term investments.

         Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $38,722, or 5.7%,
from scheduled repayments. Advances from borrowers for taxes, insurance and
other increased $164,028, or 268.8%, resulting from timing differences in the
payment of real estate taxes. Shareholders' equity decreased $46,195, or 0.6%,
the result of the $.40 per share dividend which totaled $185,150 paid to
shareholders in August of 1998 and the purchase of 2,000 common shares held in
treasury.

         The Office of Thrift Supervision has two minimum regulatory capital

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997
----

General
-------

     The Company recorded net earnings of $100,055 for the six months ended
December 31, 1998, a decrease of $47,988, or 32.4%, from the net earnings of
$148,043 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The decrease was
primarily the result of a decrease in the net interest income of $77,050, or
14.0%, and an increase in general, administrative and other expense of $34,304,
or 9.4%, which were partially offset by an increase in other income of $42,233,
or 99.7%, and lower federal income taxes of $21,133, or 27.7%.

Net Interest Income
-------------------

     Net interest income after the provision for losses on loans for the six
months ended December 31, 1998, decreased $77,050, or 14.0%, compared to the
same period of 1997. This was the result of a decrease in total interest income
of $125,327, or 9.1%, partially offset by a decrease in total interest expense
of $48,277, or 5.9%. The decrease in total interest income resulted primarily
from the decrease in interest earned on loans of $229,614, or 21.0%. The loan
portfolio decreased by $5.6 million since December 30, 1997, as borrowers
refinanced for lower interest rates. Interest on mortgage-backed securities
increased $19,615, or 15.5%, resulting from a higher portfolio balance. Interest
on investment securities increased $55,231, or 156.5%, and interest on
interest-bearing deposits increased $29,441, or 24.3%, resulting from larger
outstanding balances as the Company sought short-term, liquid investments.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $46,235, or 5.8%, due to a lower weighted
average rate on a smaller portfolio. Interest expense on borrowings decreased
$2,042, or 10.0%, due to a lower amount owed resulting from scheduled
repayments.

Other Operating Income
----------------------

     Other operating income totaled $84,583 for the six months ended December
31, 1998, an increase of $42,233, or 99.7%, compared to the same period in 1997,
primarily due to an increase on gains on sales of loans.

General, Administrative and Other Expense
-----------------------------------------

     General, administrative and other expense for the six months ended December
31, 1998 increased $34,304, or 9.4%, compared to the same period of 1997. This
was primarily due to the increase in Ohio franchise taxes of $21,518, or 114.7%,
due to the increased capital from the stock conversion, plus a $12,000 increase
in employee compensation and benefits to reflect the market value of ESOP
shares.

<PAGE>   9

The balance of the increase in employee compensation and benefits of $22,672, or
11.2%, and the decrease in other expense of $10,438, or 13.4%, resulted from an
accounting reclassification entry. Federal income taxes decreased $21,133, or
27.7%.


COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997
----

General
-------

     The Company recorded net earnings of $59,210 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, a decrease of $17,870, or 23.2%, from the net earnings of
$77,080 recorded for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The decrease was
primarily the result of a decrease in net interest income of $42,575, or 15.4%,
and an increase in general, administrative and other expense of $17,587, or
9.7%, which were substantially offset by an increase in other income of $34,998,
or 142.5%, and lower federal income taxes of $7,294, or 18.4%.

Net Interest Income
-------------------

     Net interest income after provision for losses on loans for the three
months ended December 31, 1998, decreased $42,575, or 15.4%, compared to the
same period of 1997. This was the result of a decrease in total interest income
of $76,796, or 11.1%, partially offset by a decrease in total interest expense
of $34,221, or 8.3%. Interest income on loans decreased $122,232, or 22.3%, the
result of a decrease in the loan portfolio of $5.6 million since December 31,
1997, as borrowers refinanced for lower interest rates. Interest on
mortgage-backed securities increased $19,931, or 32.9%, resulting from a higher
portfolio balance. Interest on investment securities increased $14,888, or
111.8%, and interest on interest bearing deposits increased $10,617, or 15.2%,
resulting from larger outstanding balances as the Company sought short-term,
liquid investments for funds from the loan repayments. Interest expense on
deposits decreased $33,193, or 8.2%, due to a lower weighted average rate on a
smaller portfolio. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $1,028, or 10.2%,
due to a lower amount owed resulting from scheduled repayments.

Other Operating Income
----------------------

     Other operating income for the three months ended December 31, 1998
increased $34,998, or 142.5%, compared to the same period of 1997 as the result
of increased gains on loan sales.

General, Administrative and Other Expense
-----------------------------------------

     General, administrative and other expense for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 increased $17,587, or 9.7%, compared to the same period of
1997. This was primarily due to the increase in Ohio franchise taxes of $10,759,
or 114.7%, the result of higher taxes on the increased capital from the stock
conversion, plus a $6,000 increase in employee compensation and benefits to
reflect the market value of ESOP shares. The balance of the increase in employee
compensation and benefits of $22,426, or 24.4%, and the decrease in other
expense of $15,405%, or 31.5%, resulted from an accounting reclassification
entry. Federal income taxes decreased $7,294, or 18.4%.

Discussion of Year 2000 Issues
------------------------------

         As with most providers of financial services, Foundation's operations
are heavily dependent on information technology systems. Foundation is working
with the companies that supply or service its information technology systems to
identify and remedy any year 2000 related problems. Foundation is addressing the
potential problems associated with the possibility that the computers that
control or operate Foundation's information technology system and infrastructure
may not be programmed to read four-digit date codes and, upon arrival of the
year 2000, may recognize the two-digit code "00" as the year 1900, causing
systems to fail to function or to generate erroneous data.

         The Company's primary data processing applications are handled by a
third-party service bureau which has advised the Company that it has transferred
to a fully year 2000-compliant processing system that is currently undergoing
extensive testing. To operate on this new system, the Company had to replace its
old personal computers ("PCs") and purchased a new year-2000 compliant computer
network consisting of a server and PCs. New year-2000 compliant software for
internal systems has been purchased, installed and tested and is fully
operational. The total estimated cost of the hardware and software upgrade is
not expected to exceed $30,000.

         The Company has not identified any other material expenses that are
reasonably likely to be incurred in connection with this issue and does not
expect to incur significant expense to implement the necessary corrective
measures. No assurance can be given, however, that significant expense will not
be incurred in future periods. In the event the Company is ultimately required
to incur additional expense to make its current systems, programs and equipment
year 2000 compliant, the Company's net earnings and financial condition could be
adversely affected. While the Company has taken the necessary steps to ensure
that its computer-dependent operations are year 2000 compliant, no assurance can
be given that some year 2000 problems will not occur.

         In addition to possible expense related to its own systems, the Company
could incur losses if year 2000 issues adversely affect Foundation's depositors
or borrowers. Such problems could include delayed loan payments due to year 2000
problems affecting any significant borrowers or impairing the payroll systems of
large employers in Foundation's primary market area. Because Foundation's loan
portfolio is highly diversified with regard to individual borrowers and types of
businesses and Foundation's primary market area is not significantly dependent
upon one employer or industry, Foundation does not expect any significant or
prolonged difficulties that will affect net earnings or cash flow.
