                      MILTON FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly
the financial position of Milton Federal Financial Corporation (the
"Corporation") at June 30, 1997, and its results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in
nature. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions of Form 10-Q and therefore do not purport to contain all
necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances, and should be
read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto of the
Corporation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, included in its 1996
annual report. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Corporation
described in the notes to financial statements contained in the Corporation's
1996 annual report. The Corporation has consistently followed these policies in
preparing this Form 10-Q.

The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Milton Federal
Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Milton Federal Savings
Bank (the "Bank"). The financial statements of Milton Federal Savings Bank
include accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Milton Financial Service
Corporation. Milton Financial Service Corporation holds stock in Intrieve, Inc.,
which is the data processing center utilized by the Bank. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Corporation is a thrift holding company engaged in the business of
commercial and retail banking services with operations conducted through its
main office in West Milton, Ohio, and from its full-service branch office
located in Englewood, Ohio. Miami, Montgomery and Darke Counties provide the
source for substantially all the Corporation's deposit and lending activities.
The majority of the Corporation's income is derived from residential,
nonresidential and consumer lending activities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions
based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and
future results could differ. The collectibility of loans, fair values of
financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly subject to
change.

The provision for income taxes is based on the effective tax rate expected to be
applicable for the entire year. The Corporation follows the liability method of
accounting for income taxes. The liability method provides that deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax
basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial
reporting purposes, using enacted tax rates.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 1997 were 2,177,806 and 2,210,120. The
weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1996 were 2,302,831 and 2,351,338 respectively. Stock options
outstanding do not presently have a dilutive effect of greater than 3% on
earnings per common share and are therefore not considered for purposes of
earnings per share disclosure. Unreleased ESOP shares are not considered to be
outstanding shares for the purpose of determining the weighted average number of
shares used in the earnings per common share calculation.

The Corporation classifies securities, including mortgage-backed and related
securities, into held-to-maturity and available-for-sale categories.
Held-to-maturity securities are those the Corporation has positive intent to
hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale
securities are those the Corporation could sell for liquidity, asset-liability
management or other reasons even though the Corporation does not intend to sell
those securities at the present time. Available-for-sale securities are reported
at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component
of equity, net of tax.

Realized gains and losses are determined on the specific security sold. Interest
and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of purchase premium or discount,
is included in earnings.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a Question and Answer
Implementation Guide to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115 in November 1995. Based on the reading thereof and in accordance with the
provisions of this implementation guidance, the Corporation conducted a one-time
reassessment of the appropriateness of its securities classifications and
transferred $9,090,701 of securities classified as held-to-maturity to
available-for-sale. The unrealized gain at the time securities were transferred
was approximately $179,000.

SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, was adopted on October 1, 1995. Under
these standards, loans considered to be impaired are reduced to present value of
expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral, by allocating a
portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans. If these allocations
cause the allowance for loan losses to require increase, such increase is
reported as bad debt expense. The effect of adopting these standards did not
materially affect allowance for loan losses as of or for any of the periods
presented.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Management analyzes commercial and commercial real estate loans on an individual
basis and classifies a loan as impaired when an analysis of the borrower's
operating results and financial condition indicates underlying cash flows are
not adequate to meet its debt service requirements. Often this is associated
with a delay or shortfall in payments of 30 days or more. Smaller-balance
homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include
residential first-mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences,
residential construction loans, consumer automobile, boat and home equity loans
with balances less than $300,000. Loans are generally moved to nonaccrual status
when 90 days or more past due. These loans are often also considered impaired.
Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
The nature of disclosures for impaired loans is considered generally comparable
to prior nonaccrual loans and nonperforming and past due asset disclosures.

Interest on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based upon the principal
outstanding. Management reviews loans delinquent 90 days or more to determine if
the interest accrual should be discontinued. Under SFAS No. 114, as amended by
SFAS No. 118, the carrying value of impaired loans is periodically adjusted to
reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows and increases in
the present value of expected cash flows due to the passage of time. Cash
payments representing interest income are reported as such. Other cash payments
are reported as reductions in carrying value. Increases or decreases in carrying
value due to changes in estimates of future payments or the passage of time are
reported as reductions or increases in bad debt expense.

The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights," on October 1, 1996. Mortgage servicing rights represent the allocated
value of servicing rights retained on loans sold. Mortgage servicing rights are
expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated servicing revenues.
Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights, using groupings
of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as to
geographic and prepayment characteristics. Any impairment of a grouping is
reported as a valuation allowance. Mortgage servicing rights totaled $111,397 at
June 30, 1997, and are included in "Other assets," in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet. Amortization expense of mortgage servicing rights
totaled $2,529 and $4,970 for the three months and nine months ended June 30,
1997.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities," was issued by the FASB in 1996. It revises the
accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and
for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. It was originally
effective for some transactions in 1997 and others in 1998. SFAS No. 127,
"Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125"
was issued in December 1996. SFAS No. 127 defers for one year the effective date
of provisions related to securities lending, repurchase agreements and other
similar transactions. The remaining portions of SFAS 125 became effective
January 1, 1997. SFAS No. 125 did not have a material impact on the
Corporation's financial statements.

In March 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which is
effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
including interim periods. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the calculation of earnings
per share by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS. It also requires dual
presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for entities with complex capital
structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of
securities that could share in earnings such as stock options, warrants or other
common stock equivalents. All prior period EPS data will be restated to conform
with the new presentation.

NOTE 2 - SECURITIES (Continued)

Substantially all collateralized mortgage obligations and REMICs (real estate
mortgage investment conduits) are backed by pools of mortgages that are insured
or guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC").

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities at June 30, 1997, by
contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

NOTE 4 - BORROWINGS

At June 30, 1997, the Bank had a cash management line of credit enabling it to
borrow up to $8,200,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati.
The line of credit must be renewed on an annual basis. Borrowings outstanding on
this line of credit totaled $2,700,000 at June 30, 1997 and $3,200,000 at
September 30, 1996, with interest rates ranging from 5.75% to 6.15% and 5.45% to
6.15% at such dates. Additionally, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
system, the Bank has the ability to obtain additional borrowings up to a total
of $49,354,000, including the line of credit. As a result of this membership,
the Bank had adjustable-rate borrowings totaling $26,805,000 at June 30, 1997
and $9,930,000 at September 30, 1996. The interest rates on the borrowings
adjust monthly. The interest rates on the borrowings ranged from 5.69% to 6.20%
at June 30, 1997 and 5.44% to 5.95% at September 30, 1996. The Bank also had
fixed-rate borrowings totaling $4,121,565 at June 30, 1997 and $4,359,203 at
September 30, 1996. The interest rates on these borrowings ranged from 5.80% to
6.40% at June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996. Advances under the borrowing
agreement are collateralized by a blanket pledge of the Bank's residential
mortgage loan portfolio and Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to make loans, standby letters
of credit and the unfunded portion of approved lines of credit. The
Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Corporation
follows the same credit policy to make such commitments as is followed for those
loans recorded in the financial statements.

As of June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, the Corporation had commitments to
make fixed-rate 1-4 family residential real estate loans at current market rates
totaling $1,263,000 and $2,417,000. Loan commitments are generally for thirty
days. The interest rates on the commitments ranged from 7.50% to 9.25% at June
30, 1997 and 6.50% to 10.00% at September 30, 1996. The Corporation had one
adjustable-rate 1-4 family residential real estate loan commitment for $112,000
at 8.38% as of June 30, 1997. The Corporation had no commitments to make
adjustable-rate 1-4 family residential real estate loans at September 30, 1996.

As of June 30, 1997, the Corporation had commitments to make fixed-rate
nonresidential real estate loans totaling $1,150,000 with interest rates ranging
from 9.25% to 9.50%. The Corporation had no commitments to make nonresidential
real estate loans at September 30, 1996.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee a customer's
performance to a third party. At June 30, 1997, the Corporation had standby
letter of credit commitments totaling $286,000, while there were no such
commitments at September 30, 1996.

As of June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, the Corporation had $3,262,000 and
$2,552,000 in unused adjustable-rate home equity lines of credit.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Since commitments to make loans, standby letters of credit and lines of credit
may expire without being used, amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
commitments. Collateral obtained on exercise of the commitment is determined
using management's credit evaluation of the borrower, and generally consists of
residential or commercial real estate. Lines of credit are primarily home equity
lines collateralized by second mortgages on 1-4 family residential real estate.

NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTION PLAN

On March 20, 1995, the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors granted
options to purchase 238,545 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$13.69 to certain officers and directors of the Bank and Corporation. One-fifth
of the options awarded become first exercisable on each of the first five
anniversaries of the date of grant. The option period expires 10 years from the
date of grant. At June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, options to purchase
95,418 and 47,709 shares were exercisable. No options were exercised during the
three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. In addition,
there are 19,342 shares of authorized but unissued common stock reserved for
which no options have been granted.

On October 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require,
entities to use a "fair value based method" to account for stock-based
compensation plans. If the fair value accounting encouraged by SFAS No. 123 is
not adopted, entities must still disclose the pro forma effect on net income and
on earnings per share had the accounting method been adopted. Fair value of a
stock option is to be estimated using an option-pricing model that considers
exercise price, expected life of the option, current price of the stock,
expected price volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free
interest rate. Once estimated, the fair value of an option is not later changed.
Currently, the Corporation does not have any options subject to the new
accounting and disclosure requirements.

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Corporation offers an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") for the benefit
of substantially all employees of the Corporation and the Bank. The ESOP
borrowed funds from the Corporation with which to acquire common shares of the
Corporation. The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds
and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank's discretionary
contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets. All dividends received on
unallocated shares by the ESOP are used to pay debt service. The shares
purchased with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account for allocation
among participants as the loan is repaid. As payments are made and the shares
are released from the suspense account, such shares will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (Continued)

The Corporation accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position
93-6. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned
ESOP shares in the consolidated balance sheets. As shares are released from
collateral, the Corporation reports compensation expense equal to the current
market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for
earnings-per-share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded
as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are
recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. ESOP compensation expense
was $66,550 and $200,945 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997. ESOP
compensation expense was $66,151 and $214,793 for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1996. The ESOP shares as of June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996
were as follows:

NOTE 8 - RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN

On October 16, 1995, the Recognition and Retention Plan Committee of the Board
of Directors awarded 74,784 shares to certain directors and officers of the Bank
and the Corporation. No shares had been previously awarded. One-fifth of such
shares will be earned and nonforfeitable on each of the first five anniversaries
of the date of the awards. In the event of the death or disability of a
participant, however, the participant's shares will be deemed to be earned and
nonforfeitable upon such date. At June 30, 1997, 14,957 shares have been earned
and distributed. No shares had been earned at September 30, 1996. There were
28,371 shares at June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 reserved for future
awards. Compensation expense, which is based on the cost of the shares, totaled
$53,845 and $161,536 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1997
and $53,846 and $161,537 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30,

in assets was primarily in mortgage-backed and related securities and loans
receivable. Such growth was funded by increased deposits and borrowed funds.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Total securities and FHLB stock increased $15.5 million from $58.2 million at
September 30, 1996, to $73.7 million at June 30, 1997. The increase was due to
$35.4 million in securities purchases. Most of the securities purchased were
part of the Corporation's strategy of borrowing long-term, variable-rate funds
from the FHLB to purchase similar-maturity, variable-rate mortgage-backed and
related securities to capitalize on the yield spread. Offsetting the purchases
were $12.1 million in sales of securities and mortgage-backed and related
securities available for sale and maturities and principal repayments of $7.9
million. Sales were primarily made for interest rate risk strategy purposes.
Mortgage-backed and related securities include Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC"), Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and
Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") participation certificates and
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment
conduits ("REMICs").

Net loans receivable increased from $116.7 million at September 30, 1996 to
$120.4 million at June 30, 1997. Despite net new loans of $13.9 million, the
Corporation's loan portfolio increased only moderately by $3.7 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997. This was the result of the sale of 1-4 family
first mortgage loans with a carrying value of $10.4 million. The loans were sold
as a means to manage interest rate risk by reducing the Corporation's investment
in various lower-yielding or longer-term fixed-rate loans and to provide
additional liquidity for a special $2.50 per share dividend paid during the
first quarter. The Corporation retained the right to service the loans for a
fixed spread to provide an additional source of fee income. The loans sold were
classified as held for sale at September 30, 1996. At June 30, 1997, there were
no loans classified as held for sale. The decline in 1-4 family first mortgage
loans resulting from the sale was entirely offset as such loans increased from
$102.4 million at September 30, 1996 to $103.7 million at June 30, 1997. At the
same time, construction loans decreased from $9.1 million at September 30, 1996
to $8.0 million at June 30, 1997. The shift from construction to 1-4 family
first mortgage loans occurred as loans were transferred to 1-4 family first
mortgage classification upon completion of construction. Home equity loans and
nonresidential real estate loans increased from $2.9 million and $4.4 million,
respectively, at September 30, 1996 to $3.8 million and $5.9 million at June 30,
1997. Home equity loans increased as a result of the Corporation's competitive
marketing effort targeting such loans, while the increase in nonresidential real
estate loans was due to the origination of a few larger balance loans primarily
in the third quarter. The continued growth in total real estate loans is related
to growth in the Corporation's market area as the Corporation has not changed
its philosophy regarding pricing or underwriting standards during the period.

The Corporation's consumer loan portfolio increased $363,000 between September
30, 1996 and at June 30, 1997. Despite the increase, consumer loans remain a
small portion of the entire loan portfolio and represented 2.1% and 1.8% of
total loans at June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively.

During the third quarter, the Corporation began originating commercial-purpose
business loans secured by collateral other than real estate. At June 30, 1997
commercial loans totaled $273,000 and were not a significant part of the overall
loan portfolio.

Total deposits increased $10.1 million, or 7.9%, from $128.6 million at
September 30, 1996 to $138.7 million at June 30, 1997. The Corporation
experienced little change in passbook savings accounts, negotiable order of
withdrawal ("NOW") accounts and money market accounts. Certificates of deposit
increased $10.2 million, or 10.7%, and were the primary reason for the overall
deposit growth. Certificates of deposit growth has been due to normal operating
procedures as the Corporation has not used special promotions to attract
increased volume. The portfolio as a percent of total deposits increased
slightly from 74.6% at September 30, 1996 to 76.5% at June 30, 1997. All
certificates of deposit held at the Bank mature in less than five years.

Borrowed funds increased $16.1 million from $17.5 million at September 30, 1996
to $33.6 million at June 30, 1997. The increase from new long term advances of
$17.9 million was offset by principal repayments of $1.2 million and a net
decrease in short-term advances under the Bank's cash management line of credit
of $500,000. The majority of borrowed funds are invested in mortgage-backed and
related securities to leverage the Bank's excess capital provided from
conversion from a mutual savings and loan association to a stock savings bank
(the "Conversion"), and to provide liquidity for future loan growth.

Other liabilities increased from $1.0 million at September 30, 1996 to $1.1
million at June 30, 1997. At June 30, 1997, other liabilities included an
interest-bearing deposit in another financial institution which had an overdraft
balance of $352,000. Although the Corporation's accounting records reflected an
overdraft due to various items in the process of clearing, the deposit account
balance recorded by the other financial institution did not reflect an
overdraft. At September 30, 1996, other liabilities included an accrued expense
of approximately $728,000 as a result of legislation passed to recapitalize the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. The special assessment
was subsequently paid during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The SAIF was
below the level required by law because a significant portion of the assessments
paid into the SAIF by thrifts, like the Bank, were used to pay the cost of prior
thrift failures. The legislation called for a one-time assessment of $.657 per
$100 of SAIF insured deposits held as of June 30, 1995. As a result of the
recapitalization of the SAIF, the current disparity between bank and thrift
insurance assessments was reduced. Thrifts had been paying assessments of $.23
per $100 of deposits, which, for most thrifts, was reduced to $.064 per $100 in
deposits in January 1997 and is expected to be $.024 per $100 in deposits no
later than January 2000.

The legislation also provides for the merger of the SAIF and the BIF effective
January 1, 1999, assuming there are no savings associations under federal law.
Under separate proposed legislation, Congress is considering the elimination of
the federal thrift charter and the separate federal regulation of thrifts. As a
result, the Bank would be required to convert to a different financial
institution charter and the Bank and the Corporation might become subject to
more restrictive activity limits. The Corporation cannot predict the impact of
any such legislation until it is enacted.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The operating results of the Corporation are affected by general economic
conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies and the
regulatory policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions. The
Corporation's cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing
investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are
influenced by the demand for real estate loans and other types of loans, which
in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general
economic conditions and the availability of funds for lending activities.

The Corporation's net income is primarily dependent upon its net interest
income, which is the difference between interest income generated on
interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing
liabilities. Net income is also affected by provisions for loan losses, service
charges, gains on the sale of assets and other income, noninterest expense and
income taxes.

The Corporation's net income of $356,000 and $1,034,000 for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1997 represented a $28,000 and $232,000 decrease from the
$384,000 and $1,266,000 in net income for the three and nine months ended June
30, 1996. Similarly, earnings per common share decreased by $.01 and $.07 for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods in
1996. The decline in net income is the combined result of decreases in net
interest income, a lesser amount of realized gains on sales of available for
sale securities and increased noninterest expense, partially offset by the gain
from the sales of loans.

Net interest income is the largest component of the Corporation's income and is
affected by the interest rate environment and the volume and composition of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Historically, the Corporation had only fixed-rate loans in its loan portfolio.
Consequently, in periods of rising interest rates, the Corporation's net
interest spread is negatively affected because the interest rate paid on
deposits increases at a faster pace than the rates earned on loans. As a part of
the overall strategy to manage interest rate risk, management began to originate
adjustable-rate mortgage loans in the latter quarters of fiscal 1995. As of June
30, 1997, the Corporation had approximately $5.9 million in adjustable-rate
mortgage loans as compared to $3.1 million at September 30, 1996. Additionally,
most of the Corporation's mortgage-backed and related securities portfolio are
scheduled to reprice on at least an annual basis.

The net interest income of the Corporation decreased by $16,000 and $150,000 for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same periods in
1996. The change in net interest income is primarily attributable to a decline
in the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing
liabilities for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the
same periods in 1996. Management has employed strategies such as the

special $2.50 per share dividend and the common stock repurchases to reduce the
excess capital position of the Corporation and improve its return on equity. As
a result, deposits and borrowed funds have increased in order to continue
funding the Corporation's growth.

Interest and fees on loans totaled $2.4 and $7.0 million for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $2.2 and $6.5 million for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 1996. Such increase in interest income was due to
higher average loans receivable balances, despite the loan sale, related to the
origination of new 1-4 family first mortgages, home equity and nonresidential
real estate loans.

Interest on mortgage-backed and related securities totaled $959,000 and $2.5
million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $789,000
and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996. The increase
was primarily due to an increase in the volume of mortgage-backed and related
securities combined with a slight increase in the yield on mortgage-backed and
related securities as compared to the prior periods. Several of the
mortgage-backed and related securities have repriced to higher yield levels as
compared to the prior year. The adjustable-rate feature of these securities
helps mitigate the Corporation's exposure to upward interest rate movement due
to its primarily fixed-rate loan portfolio.

Interest on securities totaled $140,000 and $367,000 for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $162,000 and $465,000 for the comparable
periods in 1996. Other interest income, including dividend income, totaled
$30,000 and $127,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997, compared
to $28,000 and $160,000 for the comparable periods in 1996. The overall decrease
for such investments from 1996 levels are the result of lower average balances
of securities and overnight funds partially offset by an increase in the overall
portfolio yield.

Interest on deposits totaled $1.7 and $5.0 million for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1997, and $1.6 and $4.6 million for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1996. This increase resulted from an overall increase in the
average cost of funds during the comparable periods combined with higher average
deposit balances over the prior periods.

Interest on borrowed funds totaled $398,000 and $888,000 for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $203,000 and $369,000 during the
comparable periods in 1996. The increase is the result of higher average
balances of borrowed funds during the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997.
Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Corporation borrowed funds
and invested a portion of these funds in mortgage-backed and related securities
to leverage excess capital, as discussed previously. The Corporation borrowed
additional adjustable-rate funds for the same purpose in subsequent quarters.
The Corporation also borrowed fixed-rate funds to provide for long-term
liquidity needs. Total borrowed funds increased during fiscal 1996 and began to
decline slightly during the first two quarters of fiscal 1997; however, during
the third quarter of fiscal 1997, new advances net of repayments totaled $18.4
million. As opportunities arise to further leverage the Corporation's

excess capital, the Corporation may make additional borrowings to fund loan
demand and mortgage-backed and related security purchases.

The Corporation maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount which, in
management's judgment, is adequate to absorb reasonable foreseeable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. While management utilizes its best judgment and
information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon
a variety of factors, including the performance of the Corporation's loan
portfolio, the economy, changes in real estate values and interest rates and the
view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications. The provision
for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the
allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the
allowance to a level which is considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in
the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision is based on management's regular
review of the loan portfolio and consideration of such factors as historical
loss experience, general prevailing economic conditions, changes in the size and
composition of the loan portfolio and specific borrower considerations,
including the ability of the borrower to repay the loan and the estimated value
of the underlying collateral.

The Corporation has not experienced net charge-offs in any of the periods
presented. The Corporation's low historical charge-off history is the product of
a variety of factors, including the Corporation's underwriting guidelines, which
generally require a down payment of 20% of the lower of the sales price or
appraised value of 1-4 family residential real estate loans, established income
information and defined ratios of debt to income. Loans secured by real estate
make up 97.7% of the Corporation's loan portfolio, and loans secured by first
mortgages on 1-4 family residential real estate constituted 82.3% of total loans
at June 30, 1997. Notwithstanding the historical low charge-offs, however,
management believes that it is prudent to continue to increase the allowance for
loan losses as total loans increase. Accordingly, management anticipates that it
will continue its provisions to the allowance for loan losses at current levels
for the foreseeable future, providing the volume of nonperforming loans remains
insignificant.

Noninterest income totaled $103,000 and $380,000 for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1997, and $84,000 and $386,000 for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1996. The increase over the three-month period was due to slight
increases in the service charges and other fee income, securities gains and
other income. The decline for the nine-month periods was primarily due to the
decrease in realized gains on the sales of available-for-sale securities.
Offsetting the decrease was a $118,000 gain on the sale of loans which was
discussed previously. The securities sales in each period were primarily made
for interest rate risk strategy purposes. Other changes in noninterest income
for the nine month periods were insignificant.

Noninterest expense totaled $962,000 and $2,943,000 for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $915,000 and $2,741,000 for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 1996. Salaries and employee benefits were the
primary cause of the increases. Salaries and employee benefits increased $90,000
and $236,000 for the three and nine months ended

June 30, 1997, compared to the same periods in 1996 primarily due to annual
merit increases and increased staffing for the Bank's new branch which is
currently under construction. Federal Deposit Insurance premiums decreased
$49,000 and $104,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1997, compared
to the same periods in 1996, primarily due to lower premiums being assessed
beginning in January. Other changes in noninterest expense were insignificant.

Prior to the enactment of legislation discussed below, thrifts which met certain
tests relating to the composition of assets had been permitted to establish
reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions thereto which could, within
specified formula limits, be taken as a deduction in computing taxable income
for federal income tax purposes. The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction
for "nonqualifying loans" was computed under the experience method. The amount
of the bad debt reserve deduction for "qualifying real property loans" could be
computed under either the experience method or the percentage of taxable income
method, based on an annual election.

In August 1996, legislation was enacted that repeals the reserve method of
accounting used by many thrifts to calculate their bad debt reserve for federal
income tax purposes. As a result, small thrifts such as the Bank must recapture
the portion of the reserve that exceeds the amount that could have been taken
under the experience method for tax years beginning after December 31, 1987. The
legislation also requires thrifts to account for bad debts for federal income
tax purposes on the same basis as commercial banks for tax years beginning after
December 31, 1995. The recapture will occur over a six-year period, the
commencement of which will be delayed until the first taxable year beginning
after December 31, 1997, provided the institution meets certain residential
lending requirements. At June 30, 1997, the Bank had approximately $1.1 million
in bad debt reserves subject to recapture for federal income tax purposes. The
deferred tax liability related to the recapture has been previously established.
As such, the recapture will not impact the Bank's or the Corporation's net
income.

The volatility of income tax expense is primarily attributable to the change in
net income before income taxes. Income tax expense for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1997, of $183,000 and $531,000 represented an effective rate of
33.9% for both periods, compared to $199,000 and $660,000 or an effective rate
of 34.1% and 34.3%, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996.

The Corporation's principal sources of funds are deposits; loan and security
repayments; securities available for sale and other funds provided by
operations. The Corporation also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB of
Cincinnati. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing securities are
relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and mortgage-backed
security repayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic
conditions and competition. The Corporation maintains investments in liquid
assets based upon management's assessments of (1) the need for funds, (2)
expected deposit flows, (3) the yields available on short-term liquid assets and
(4) the objectives of the asset/liability management program.

Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations presently require the
Corporation to maintain an average daily balance of investments in United States
Treasury, federal agency obligations and other investments having maturities of
five years or less in an amount equal to 5% of the sum of the Corporation's
average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings
payable in one year or less. The liquidity requirement, which may be changed
from time to time by the OTS to reflect changing economic conditions, is
intended to provide a source of relatively liquid funds upon which the
Corporation may rely if necessary to fund deposit withdrawals or other
short-term funding needs. At June 30, 1997, the Corporation's regulatory
liquidity was 7.16%. At such date, the Corporation had commitments to originate
fixed-rate loans totaling $2,413,000 and adjustable-rate loans totaling
$112,000. The Corporation had no commitments to purchase or sell loans. The
Corporation considers its liquidity and capital reserves sufficient to meet its
outstanding short- and long-term needs. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

The Bank is required by OTS regulations to meet certain minimum capital
requirements, which must be generally as stringent as the standards established
for banks. Current capital requirements call for tangible capital of 1.5% of
adjusted total assets, core capital (which for the Bank consists solely of
tangible capital) of 3.0% of adjusted total assets and risk-based capital (which
for the Bank consists of core capital and general valuation allowances) of 8% of
risk-weighted assets (assets are weighted at percentage levels ranging from 0%
to 100% depending on their relative risk). The Bank exceeded all of its capital
requirements at June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996. The OTS has proposed to
amend the core capital requirement so that those associations that do not have
the highest examination rating and an acceptable level of risk will be required
to maintain core capital of from 4% to 5%, depending on the association's
examination rating and overall risk. The Bank does not anticipate that it will
be adversely affected if the core capital requirements regulations are amended
as proposed.

The following table summarizes the Bank's regulatory capital requirements and
actual capital at June 30, 1997.
