             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of FIRSTFED AMERICA BANCORP, INC. (the "Company"), and its wholly-
owned subsidiaries, First Federal Savings Bank of America (the "Bank"), FAB
FUNDING CORPORATION ("FAB FUNDING") and FIRSTFED INSURANCE AGENCY, LLC (the
"Agency"). First Federal Savings Bank of America includes its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, FIRSTFED MORTGAGE CORPORATION, FIRSTFED INVESTMENT CORPORATION,
and CELMAC INVESTMENT CORPORATION.

  The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and
recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of
operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that may be expected for all of fiscal year 2000.

  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company=s Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.

Note 2. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

  In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and
measure those instruments at fair value. Under this statement, an entity that
elects to apply hedge accounting is required to establish at the inception of
the hedge the method it will use for assessing the effectiveness of the
hedging derivative and the measurement approach for determining the
ineffective aspect of the hedge. This statement is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. In June 1999, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 137 which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.

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

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1999 and March 31, 1999

 General

  Total assets at June 30, 1999 were $1.409 billion, an increase of $15.4
million, or 1.1%, compared to $1.393 billion at March 31, 1999. Asset growth
was primarily attributable to growth in mortgage-backed securities available
for sale which increased $57.3 million, or 14.0%, to $465.8 million at June
30, 1999 from $408.5 million at March 31, 1999. Partially offsetting this
growth was a $21.7 million decrease in mortgage loans held for sale, a $7.9
million decrease in short-term investments, and a $7.8 million decrease in
loans receivable, net. Deposit balances declined by $5.4 million, to $669.4
million at June 30, 1999 from $674.9 million at March 31, 1999. Balance sheet
growth was primarily funded by a $21.8 million increase in Federal Home Loan
Bank of Boston advances and other borrowings during the first quarter.

  Total stockholders' equity increased $283,000 to $103.2 million at June 30,
1999, from $103.0 million at March 31, 1999, primarily due to net income, a
dividend payment, and a decline in the fair value of securities available for
sale, net of tax. Stockholders' equity to assets was 7.33% at June 30, 1999,
down from 7.39% at March 31, 1999, the result of balance sheet growth.

 Liquidity and Capital

  The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of
loans, FHLB advances, and other borrowings. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of
liquid assets as defined by Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations.
This requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the OTS depending
upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of the
Bank's deposits and short-term borrowings ("liquidity ratio"). At June 30,
1999 and March 31, 1999, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 38.67% and 30.38%
respectively. The OTS required liquidity ratio is 4.0%.

  The Company's most liquid assets are cash, short-term investments, mortgage
loans held for sale, investments in trading securities, investment securities
available for sale, and mortgage-backed securities available for sale. The
levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing,
lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 1999,
cash, short-term investments, mortgage loans held for sale, investments in
trading securities, investment securities available for sale, and mortgage-
backed securities available for sale totaled $531.7 million, or 37.7% of total
assets.

  The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds
arises, including a $25 million FHLB secured line of credit, FHLB advances,
and other borrowings from securities dealers. At June 30, 1999, the Company
had $607.7 million in advances outstanding from the FHLB and other borrowings,
and an additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $242.1 million. The
Company uses FHLB advances and other borrowings to fund asset growth and other
cash flow needs, and may continue to do so in the future, depending on market
conditions, the pricing of deposit products, and the pricing of FHLB advances
and other borrowings.

  At June 30, 1999, the Company had commitments to originate loans and unused
outstanding lines of credit and undistributed balances of construction loans
totaling $111.9 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient
funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments. Certificate
of deposit accounts scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30,
1999 totaled $339.1 million. The Company expects that it will retain a
majority of maturing certificate accounts.


                                       7
<PAGE>

  At June 30, 1999, the consolidated stockholders' equity to total assets
ratio was 7.33%. At June 30, 1999, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory
capital requirements. The Bank's tangible capital of $99.2 million, or 7.06%,
of total adjusted assets, was above the required level of $28.1 million or
2.0%; core capital of $99.2 million, or 7.06% of total adjusted assets, was
above the required level of $56.2 million, or 4.0%; risk-based capital of
$107.4 million, or 16.47% of risk-weighted assets, was above the required
level of $52.1 million or 8.0%, and Tier 1 risk-based capital of $99.2
million, or 15.22% of risk-weighted assets, was above the required level of
$26.1 million or 4.0%. The Bank is considered a "well capitalized" institution
under the OTS prompt corrective action regulations.

 Year 2000 Project

  Included in other non-interest expenses are charges incurred in connection
with the modification or replacement of software and hardware to address the
"Year 2000 issue," which will allow for the Company's computer,
communications, and other related non-technology systems to properly recognize
dates beyond December 31, 1999. The Company has developed a plan that is based
upon the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC")
recommended phases and time frames for insuring Year 2000 readiness. These
phases include awareness, assessment, renovation, validation and
implementation.

  The Company has utilized both internal and external resources to test and
reprogram or replace software and hardware (including non-technology systems)
for Year 2000 modifications. The Company has completed renovation and testing
of all mission critical processing systems. Testing and remediation of non-
critical applications will continue throughout 1999 and will be completed
prior to September 30, 1999.

  The Company has worked with all of its mission critical vendors and service
providers to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any
failure of those third parties to remedy their own Year 2000 issues and has
received written assurances of readiness from all such parties. However, there
can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's
systems rely will be remedied in a timely manner or that there will be no
adverse effect on the Company's systems. Therefore, to the extent that other
entities not affiliated with the Company are unsuccessful in properly
addressing this issue, the Company could be negatively impacted. The Company's
total Year 2000 project costs, as discussed below, include the estimated costs
and time associated with the impact of third party Year 2000 issues.

  In the unlikely event the Company experiences problems due to either
internal and/or external systemic failure, a contingency plan has been
developed outlining alternative methods of processing until the affected
systems have been corrected or replaced. The Bank's worst case scenario
relates to a general failure of multiple processing systems supporting
mission-critical loan and deposit platforms. Accordingly, the Bank has
developed a contingency plan outlining alternate processing routines to
protect the integrity of deposit and loan data while maintaining an acceptable
level of customer service during such an outage. Testing of the viability of
alternative processing methods will continue throughout the remainder of 1999.
In addition, the Company has performed a risk assessment of significant
existing customers to determine their exposure to Year 2000 related issues and
on the customer's ability to perform in accordance with contractual
agreements. Management has determined the Company's exposure to this risk is
low. Furthermore, a Year 2000 risk assessment is performed on all new
customers entering into a significant relationship with the Company.

  The total cost of the Year 2000 project is estimated at $200,000 to
$300,000. This estimate has been revised based on favorable results of
mission-critical system testing and lower than projected expenditures for
software and hardware upgrades. A significant portion of the costs are not
incremental to the Company, but rather represent a reprioritization of
existing internal systems technology resources. The Company does not
explicitly track internal costs associated with the Year 2000 project. For the
three months ended June 30, 1999 and for the entire project through June 30,
1999, the Company has expensed approximately $10,000 and $150,000,
respectively, toward Year 2000 remediation efforts. In addition, in
preparation for the Year 2000 project, the Company underwent a February, 1998
conversion to a new processing system for all loan and deposit applications at
a cost of approximately $700,000.

                                       8
<PAGE>

  The costs of the project and the date on which the Company plans to complete
Year 2000 related modifications are based on management's best estimates,
which are derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including
the continued availability of certain resources, third-party modification
plans and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these
estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel
trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer
code, and similar uncertainties.


 Asset Quality

  At June 30, 1999, non-accrual loans totaled $2.3 million and real estate
owned ("REO") totaled $281,000. The Company ceases to accrue interest on loans
90 days or more past due and charges off all accrued interest. Foregone
interest on non-accrual loans for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$26,000. The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual
loans and REO.

        COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
            JUNE 30, 1999 AND THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

Analysis of Net Interest Income

  Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-
earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest
income is a function of both the relative amounts of interest earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on
them.

  The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The average yields and
costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of
interest earning assets or interest bearing liabilities, respectively, for the
periods shown. Average balances are derived from average month-end balances.
Management does not believe that the use of average monthly balances instead
of average daily balances causes any material differences in the information
presented. The yields and the costs include fees, premiums and discounts which
are considered adjustments to yields.

General

  Net income was unchanged at $1.7 million, for the first quarters of fiscal
year 2000 and 1999. Net interest income before loan loss provision decreased
$264,000, or 3.4%, to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Non-interest income decreased by $314,000 primarily due to losses on the sale
of mortgage loans. Non-interest expense decreased by $288,000 and income tax
expense decreased by $298,000.

Interest Income

  Interest and dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$21.6 million, compared to $21.2 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998, an increase of $354,000, or 1.7%. The increase in interest and dividend
income is primarily attributable to a $88.7 million increase in average
interest-earning assets which increased to $1.286 billion for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $1.198 billion for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The increase in average interest-earning assets was mainly due to an
increase in mortgage-backed securities available for sale. The increase in
average interest-earning balances was accompanied by a 39 basis point decrease
in average yield on interest-earning assets from 7.11% for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 to 6.72% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This
decline was primarily the result of the addition of adjustable-rate and
shorter-term fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities and to lower yields on the
Company's loan portfolio due to lower market rates and the subsequent
refinancing of "higher" fixed-rate mortgages.

  Interest income on loans receivable, net and mortgage loans held for sale
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 decreased by $2.3 million, or 13.4%,
to $14.8 million compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998. This decrease was attributable to a decrease of $108.3 million in the
average loan balance and a 13 basis point decrease in yield on loans
receivable and mortgage loans held for sale. About $29.9 million of the $108.3
million decline in average loan balance was in mortgage loans held for sale.

  Interest and dividend income from investment securities was $766,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $854,000 for the comparable
three months in 1998. Investment securities decreased by $6.0 million to an
average of $54.7 million during the three months ending June 30, 1999 from
$60.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 1998.

  Interest on mortgage-backed securities for the three months ended June 30,
1999 increased by $2.7 million to $6.0 million, compared to $3.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998. This increase in income is attributable
to a $203.0 million increase in the average mortgage-backed securities
balance, partially offset by a 18 basis point decrease in the average yield,
from 5.78% to 5.60%, during the three months ended June 30, 1999 versus the
three months ended June 30, 1998. This reduction in yield was the result of
the addition of low initial coupon adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities.

Interest Expense

  Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $14.0 million,
compared to $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an
increase of $618,000, or 4.6%. The increase in interest expense during this
time period was the net effect of an increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities and a decrease in their associated cost. Average interest-bearing
liabilities increased $146.4 million, or 13.9%, to $1.196 billion for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, from $1.150 billion for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. Of this amount, average deposits declined $27.7 million,
or 4.3%, from $641.6 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $613.9
million during the three months ended June 30, 1999. The average cost of
deposits for the three months ended June 30, 1999 fell 56 basis points
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998 due to a decline in the
general level of interest rates and to the Company's less aggressive deposit
pricing strategy.

  Average Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings grew 42.7% to
$582.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 1999 versus $408.2
million during the comparable period in 1998. Because of a decline in market
interest rates and the maturities of several "higher" rate advances, the cost
of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings fell 51 basis points
during this time period, from 5.83% to 5.32%.

Net Interest Income

  Net interest income before loan loss provision decreased $264,000, or 3.4%,
to $7.5 million from $7.8 million, for the three months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively. This decrease was due to a re-deployment of funds from
interest-earning assets to purchase $30.0 million of Bank-Owned Life Insurance
("BOLI") and a $13.2 million decrease in average stockholders' equity
primarily due to the Company's capital stock repurchase program. Earnings from
BOLI are reported as non-interest income. The Company's interest rate spread
increased to 2.02%, compared to 1.99%, for the same period in fiscal years
2000 and 1999, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses

  The Company's provision for loan losses remained at $300,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The Company's allowance for loan losses
was $12.3 million, or 1.59% of loans receivable at June 30, 1999, up from
$12.0 million, or 1.54% of loans receivable at March 31, 1999. Allowance for
loan losses was 534% and 471% of non-performing loans at June 30, 1999 and
March 31, 1999, respectively. To the extent the Company experiences increases
in the balance of its loan portfolio or increases its concentration of loans
which bear a higher degree of risk than one- to four-family loans, the Company
anticipates further increases in its allowance for loan losses through
continued provisions for loan losses.

  Non-performing loans at June 30, 1999 decreased $250,000 to $2.3 million, or
0.30% of loans receivable, from $2.6 million, or 0.33% of loans receivable at
March 31, 1999. At June 30, 1999, the Company's non-performing assets, which
include non-performing loans and foreclosed properties (real estate owned),
decreased $313,000 to $2.6 million compared to $2.9 million at March 31, 1999.
Decreases in non-performing loans and assets are primarily a result of
continued strengthening in the local economy and conservative loan
underwriting.

Non-interest Income

  Non-interest income decreased $314,000, or 18.1%, to $1.4 million from $1.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
decrease is primarily attributable to a $927,000 decrease in gain (loss) on
sale of mortgage loans, partially offset by $380,000 earnings on Bank-Owned
Life Insurance, a $137,000 unrealized gain on trading securities, and $107,000
in commissions earned by the FIRSTFED INSURANCE AGENCY, LLC. The decrease in
gain (loss) on sale of mortgage loans is due primarily to unfavorable
secondary market conditions that existed during the first quarter of fiscal
year 2000 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1999. During the
recent quarter, mortgage interest rates rose significantly, having a negative
impact on the price of loans sold in the secondary market. A significant
offset to the loss on sale of mortgage loans is an unrecognized increase in
the market value of the Company's mortgage servicing rights ("MSR").

Non-interest Expense

  Non-interest expense decreased $288,000, or 4.4%, to $6.3 million from $6.5
million, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
decrease is primarily attributable to a $368,000 decrease in compensation and
benefits expense and a $65,000 decrease in deposit insurance premiums.
Partially offsetting these decreases was a $172,000 increase in data
processing costs. Decreases in compensation and benefits were the result of
lower costs associated with stock-based benefit plans including the Employee
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") and the 1997 Stock-based Incentive Plan ("SIP").
Data processing costs increased as a result of an increase in number of
customers and their transactions.

Income Taxes

  Income tax expense decreased $298,000, or 29.2%, from $1.0 million in the
three months ended June 30, 1998 to $722,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999. This decrease is a result of the Company's implementation of certain
tax strategies and the purchase of Bank-Owned Life Insurance during the
second-half of fiscal year 1999. Overall, the Company's effective tax rate was
reduced to 29.8% during the first quarter of fiscal year 2000, from 37.6% for
the first quarter of fiscal year 1999.

          QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

  The principal market risk affecting the Company is interest-rate risk. The
principal objective of the Company's interest rate risk management function is
to evaluate the interest rate risk included in certain balance sheet accounts,
determine the level of risk appropriate given the Company's business strategy,
operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance
objectives, and manage the risk consistent with Board of Directors' approved
guidelines. Through such management, the Company seeks to reduce the
vulnerability of its operations to changes in interest rates. The Company
monitors its interest rate risk as such risk relates to its operating
strategies. The Company's Board of Directors has established an
Asset/Liability Committee, responsible for reviewing its asset/liability
policies and interest rate risk position, which meets on a monthly basis and
reports trends and interest rate risk position to the Board of Directors on a
quarterly basis. The extent of the movement of interest rates is an
uncertainty that could have a negative impact on the earnings of the Company.

  In recent years, the Company has primarily utilized the following strategies
to manage interest rate risk: (1) emphasizing the origination and retention of
adjustable-rate and shorter-term (generally twelve years or less) fixed-rate,
one- to four-family mortgage loans; (2) selling in the secondary market
longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans originated while generally retaining
the servicing rights on such loans; (3) investing primarily in adjustable rate
mortgage-backed securities and short-term fixed-rate collateralized mortgage
obligations ("CMOs"); and (4) reducing the overall interest rate sensitivity
of liabilities by emphasizing longer-term deposits and longer-term FHLB
advances to replace rate sensitive deposits and fund asset growth. In
addition, the Company engaged in two interest rate swap agreements with a
total notional principal amount of $50 million to synthetically lengthen its
liability maturities.

  The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the
extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and
by monitoring a bank's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability
is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will
mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap
is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets
maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time
period.

  At June 30, 1999, the Company's cumulative one year interest rate gap (which
is the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount
of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year) as a
percentage of total assets was a positive 2.03%. Accordingly, during a period
of falling interest rates, the Company's interest-earning assets would reprice
downward at a faster rate than its interest-bearing liabilities, which,
consequently, may negatively affect the Company's net interest income. During
a period of rising interest rates, the Company's interest-earning assets would
reprice upward at a faster rate than its interest-bearing liabilities which,
consequently, may positively affect the Company's net interest income.

  Certain shortcomings are inherent in gap analysis. For example, although
certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to
repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest
rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may
fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates
on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain
assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which restrict changes in
interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.
Further, in the event of change in interest rates, prepayment and early
withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in
calculating the table. Finally, the ability of some borrowers to service their
adjustable-rate loans may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

  The Company's interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management
through the use of a model which generates estimates of the change in the
Company's net interest income ("NII") and net portfolio value ("NPV") over a
range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash
flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV
ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that

                                      14

scenario divided by the estimated market value of assets in the same scenario.
The OTS produces a similar analysis for the Bank using its own model, based
upon data submitted on the Bank's quarterly Thrift Financial Report, the
results of which may vary from the Company's internal model primarily due to
differences in assumptions utilized between the Company's internal model and
the OTS model, including estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates
and deposit renewal rates. The Company monitors the change in estimated NPV
versus limits imposed by the Company's Board of Directors, and as of June 30,
1999, was in full compliance with those limits. See the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1999 for detailed gap and NPV
tables.

  As in the case with the Gap Table, certain short-comings are inherent in the
methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling
changes in NPV require certain assumptions which may or may not reflect the
manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest
rates. In this regard, the NPV model presented incorporates an assumption that
the composition of the Company's interest sensitive assets and liabilities
existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being
measured, and that a particular change in interest rates is reflected
uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or
repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV
measurements and net interest income models provide an indication of the
Company's interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such
measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the
effect of changes in market interest rates on the Company's net interest
income and will differ from actual results.

  During fiscal year-end 2000, the Company continues to follow its practice of
selling certain fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans while generally
retaining the servicing rights. In conjunction with this mortgage banking
activity, the Company uses forward contracts in order to reduce exposure to
interest-rate risk. The amount of forward coverage of the "pipeline" of
mortgages is managed on a day-to-day basis by an operating officer, within
Board approved policy guidelines, based on the Company's assessment of the
general direction of interest rates and levels of mortgage origination
activity.
