                            FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          For the three and six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

    On November 14, 1995, the Board of Directors of First Federal Savings Bank
    of Dover (the Savings Bank) adopted a plan of conversion (the Plan) whereby
    the Savings Bank would convert to the stock form of ownership, and issue all
    of the Savings Bank's outstanding stock to a newly formed holding company,
    FFD Financial Corporation (the Corporation). Pursuant to the Plan, the
    Corporation offered for sale up to 1,454,750 common shares to certain
    depositors of the Savings Bank and members of the community. The conversion
    was completed on April 2, 1996, and resulted in the issuance of 1,454,750
    common shares of the Corporation which, after consideration of offering
    expenses totaling approximately $400,000, resulted in net proceeds of $14.2
    million.

    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
    financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
    generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these financial
    statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
    statements and notes thereto of the Corporation included in the Annual
    Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1996. However, in the
    opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
    accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
    statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and
    six month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 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 Corporation and the Savings Bank. All significant intercompany items
    have been eliminated.

    3.   Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
         -------------------------------------------
    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
    Stock-Based Compensation", establishing financial accounting and reporting
    standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. SFAS No. 123
    encourages all entities to adopt a new method of accounting to measure the
    compensation cost of all employee stock compensation plans based on the
    estimated fair value of the award at the date it is granted. Companies are,
    however, allowed to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans
    using the intrinsic value based method of accounting, which generally does
    not result in compensation expense recognition for most plans. Companies
    that elect to remain with the existing accounting are required to disclose
    in a footnote to the financial statements pro forma net earnings and, if
    presented, earnings per share, as if SFAS No. 123 had been adopted. The
    accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123 are effective for transactions
    entered into during fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995;
    however, companies are required to disclose information for awards granted
    in their first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994. Management has
    determined that the Corporation will continue to account for stock-based
    compensation pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, and
    therefore SFAS No. 123 will have no effect on its consolidated financial
    condition or results of operations.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

          For the three and six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995


3. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
   ------------------------------------------- 

In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets, Servicing Rights, and Extinguishment of Liabilities", that
provides accounting guidance on transfers of financial assets, servicing of
financial assets, and extinguishment of liabilities. SFAS No. 125 introduces an
approach to accounting for transfers of financial assets that provides a means
of dealing with more complex transactions in which the seller disposes of only a
partial interest in the assets, retains rights or obligations, makes use of
special purpose entities in the transaction, or otherwise has continuing
involvement with the transferred assets. The new accounting method, known as the
financial components approach, provides that the carrying amount of the
financial assets transferred be allocated to components of the transaction based
on their relative fair values. SFAS No. 125 provides criteria for determining
whether control of assets has been relinquished and whether a sale has occurred.
If the transfer does not qualify as a sale, it is accounted for as a secured
borrowing. Transactions subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 125 include, among
others, transfers involving repurchase agreements, securitizations of financial
assets, loan participations, factoring arrangements, and transfers of
receivables with recourse.

An entity that undertakes an obligation to service financial assets recognizes
either a servicing asset or liability for the servicing contract (unless related
to a securitization of assets, and all the securitized assets are retained and
classified as held-to-maturity). A servicing asset or liability that is
purchased or assumed is initially recognized at its fair value. Servicing assets
and liabilities are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss and are subject to
subsequent assessments for impairment based on fair value.

SFAS No. 125 provides that a liability is removed from the balance sheet only if
the debtor either pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation for the
liability or is legally released from being the primary obligor.

SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1997, and is to be
applied prospectively. Earlier or retroactive application is not permitted.
Management does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 125 will have a material
adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

4. Earnings Per Share
   ------------------

Earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average shares
outstanding during the period plus those stock options that are dilutive, less
shares in the FFD Financial Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP)
that are unallocated and not committed to be released. Weighted-average common
shares deemed outstanding, which gives effect to 116,380 unallocated ESOP
shares, totaled 1,338,370 for each of the three and six month periods ended
December 31, 1996. There is no dilutive effect associated with the Corporation's
stock option plan.

The provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 "Earnings Per
Share" are not applicable to the three and six month periods ended December 31,
1995, as the Corporation completed its conversion from mutual to stock form in
April 1996.

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


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 1996 to December 31,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996
----
The Corporation's total assets at December 31, 1996, amounted to $86.2 million,
a $6.7 million, or 8.4%, increase over the total at June 30, 1996. This increase
was funded primarily through an increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) of $3.9 million and growth in deposits of $2.2 million.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits totaled $4.1 million, an increase of $1.4
million over the total as of June 30, 1996. This increase resulted primarily
from the aforementioned FHLB advances and deposit growth.

Mortgage-backed securities totaled $18.0 million at December 31, 1996, a $3.0
million, or 20.2%, increase over the total at June 30, 1996. This increase
resulted from purchases totaling $4.7 million, which was partially offset by
principal repayments of $1.8 million.

Loans receivable totaled $51.3 million at December 31, 1996, an increase of $2.8
million, or 5.8%, over the June 30, 1996 total. Loan disbursements during the
period totaled $7.4 million, which were partially offset by principal repayments
of $4.6 million.

Deposits totaled $54.5 million at December 31, 1996, a $2.2 million, or 4.3%,
increase over June 30, 1996. This increase resulted primarily from management's
efforts to obtain moderate growth through advertising and pricing strategies.

FHLB advances increased by $3.9 million as management elected to fund purchases
of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities yielding 7.11% at the time of
purchase with short-term advances with a weighted-average rate of 5.48%.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 1996 to December 31,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 (continued)
-----
The Savings Bank is required to meet each of three minimum capital standards
promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), hereinafter described as
the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the
risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement mandates
maintenance of shareholders' equity less all intangible assets equal to 1.5% of
adjusted total assets. The core capital requirement provides for the maintenance
of tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill equal to 3% of
adjusted total assets, while the risk-based capital requirement mandates
maintenance of core capital plus general loan loss allowances equal to 8% of
risk-weighted assets as defined by OTS regulations.

At December 31, 1996, the Savings Bank's tangible and core capital totaled $12.3
million, or 15.7% of adjusted total assets, which exceeded the minimum
requirements of $1.2 million and $2.3 million by $11.1 million and $9.9 million,
respectively. The Savings Bank's risk-based capital of $12.4 million, or 33.8%
of risk-weighted assets, exceeded the current 8.0% requirement by $9.5 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended December 31,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and 1995
-------------

General
-------
The Corporation's net earnings totaled $208,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996, a decline of $38,000, or 15.4%, from the net earnings of
$246,000 recorded in the comparable period in 1995. The decline in net earnings
resulted primarily from a $332,000 charge recorded at September 30, 1996, as a
result of the legislative mandate to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Additionally, general, administrative and other expense increased by $210,000.
These increased expense items were partially offset by a $421,000 increase in
net interest income, a $50,000 decrease in the provision for losses on loans and
a $25,000 decrease in the provision for federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income
-------------------
Total interest income increased by $738,000, or 34.1%, to a total of $2.9
million for the six months ended December 31, 1996. Interest income on loans
increased by $188,000, or 11.4%, due primarily to a $6.5 million increase in the
average loan portfolio balance outstanding. Interest income on mortgage-backed
securities increased by $339,000, or 119.8%, due primarily to a $9.7 million
increase in the average balance outstanding. Interest income on investment
securities and interest-bearing deposits increased by $211,000, or 93.0%, due
primarily to a $6.5 million increase in the related investment balance. The
increases in interest-earning assets primarily reflect management's deployment
of proceeds from the common stock offering which was completed in April 1996 
and FHLB advances. 

Interest expense on deposits increased by $77,000, or 6.3%, for the six months
ended December 31, 1996, compared to 1995, due primarily to a $2.2 million
increase in the average deposit portfolio balance outstanding.

                            FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended December 31,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and 1995 (continued)
-------------

Net Interest Income (continued)
-------------------
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $240,000 due primarily to a $7.9
million increase in average advances outstanding, as management elected to fund
the purchase of mortgage-backed securities with such advances, as previously
discussed.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income increased by $421,000, or
44.6%, for the six months ended December 31, 1996, compared to 1995. The
interest rate spread amounted to 2.09% for the six months ended December 31,
1996, compared to 2.60% for the comparable 1995 period, while the net interest
margin increased to 3.34% in 1996, compared to 3.21% in 1995.

Provision for Losses on Loans
-----------------------------
The allowance for loan losses totaled $146,000 at both December 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996, which represented .3% and .2% of total loans and 304.2% and
124.8% of nonperforming loans at those respective dates.  A provision for losses
on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for losses on loans
to a level considered appropriate by management based on historical loss
experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Savings Bank, the
status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions,
particularly as such conditions relate to the Savings Bank's market area, and
other factors related to the collectibility of the Savings Bank's loan
portfolio. As a result of such analysis, management concluded that the allowance
for loan losses was adequate and therefore did not record a provision for losses
on loans during the six month period ended December 31, 1996. There can be no
assurance that the loan loss allowance of the Savings Bank will be adequate to
cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future. The foregoing statement is a
"forward-looking" statement within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Factors that could affect the adequacy of the loan loss allowance
include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) changes in the national and
local economy which may negatively impact the ability of borrowers to repay
their loans and which may cause the value of real estate and other properties
that secure outstanding loans to decline; (2) unforeseen adverse changes in
circumstances with respect to certain large loan borrowers; (3) decreases in the
value of collateral securing consumer loans to amounts equal to less than the
outstanding balances of the consumer loans; and (4) determinations by various
regulatory agencies that the Savings Bank must recognize additions to its loan
loss allowance based on such regulators' judgment of information available to
them at the time of their examinations.

Other Operating Income
----------------------
Other operating income totaled $26,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1996, an increase of $8,000, or 44.4%, over the 1995 total. Other income
consists primarily of fees generated from late charges on loans, safety deposit
box rentals and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) account fees.

General, Administrative and Other Expense
--------------------------------------- 
General, administrative and other expense increased by $542,000, or 100.2%, for
the six months ended December 31, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995. The
increase resulted primarily from the aforementioned $332,000 charge to
recapitalize the SAIF, coupled with an increase of $157,000, or 63.3%, in
employee compensation and benefits, resulting primarily from the costs
associated with stock benefit plans implemented since the Conversion, and an
increase of $48,000, or 33.3%, in other operating expenses, which resulted
primarily from costs associated with the operation of the Corporation and the
annual reporting requirements of a public stock company.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended December 31,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and 1995 (continued)
--------------
General, Administrative and Other Expense (continued)
------------------------------------------
Legislation to recapitalize the SAIF provided for a special assessment of $.657
per $100 of SAIF deposits held at March 31, 1995, in order to increase SAIF
reserves to the level required by law. The Savings Bank had approximately $49.2
million in deposits at March 31, 1995. The special assessment resulted in an
additional assessment of $332,000, or an after-tax charge of $219,000, which was
recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and paid in November 1996. The
legislation also provides for reduced premium rates for healthy savings
associations beginning in 1997, estimated to be a rate of $.064 per $100 of SAIF
insured deposits.

A component of the recapitalization plan provides for the merger of the SAIF and
the BIF on January 1, 1999, and for the elimination of the federal thrift
charter and of the separate federal regulation of thrifts. Pursuant to the
merger, the Savings Bank would then be required to convert to a new charter and
become subject to federal regulation as a bank. At this time, management is
unsure as to what, if any, impact the more restrictive activity limits and
capital requirements of federal banking law would have on the Savings Bank or
the Corporation.

Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
The Corporation recorded a provision for federal income taxes totaling $101,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1996, a decrease of $25,000, or 19.8%,
from the same period in 1995. The decrease resulted primarily from a $63,000, or
16.9%, decline in earnings before taxes. The effective tax rates were 32.7% and
33.9% for the six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and 1995
-------------
General
-------
The Corporation's net earnings totaled $230,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996, an increase of $99,000, or 75.6%, over the comparable period
in 1995. The increase in net earnings resulted primarily from a $220,000
increase in net interest income and a $6,000 increase in other income, which
were partially offset by an $81,000 increase in general, administrative and
other expense and a $46,000 increase in the provision for federal income taxes.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and 1995 (continued)
-------------
Net Interest Income
-------------------
Total interest income increased by $395,000, or 36.3%, to a total of $1.5
million for the three months ended December 31, 1996. Interest income on loans
increased by $58,000, or 6.9%, due primarily to an increase in the average loan
portfolio balance outstanding. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities
increased by $194,000, or 143.7%, due primarily to an increase in the average
balance outstanding. Interest income on investment securities and
interest-bearing deposits increased by $143,000, or 128.8%, due primarily to an
increase in the related investment balances. The increases in interest-earning
assets primarily reflects the deployment of proceeds from the Corporation's
common stock offering which was completed in April 1996.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $41,000, or 6.7%, for the three months
ended December 31, 1996, compared to 1995, due primarily to an increase in the
average deposit portfolio balance outstanding.

Interest expense on borrowings increased by $134,000 due primarily to an
increase in average advances outstanding, as management elected to fund the
purchase of mortgage-backed securities with such advances, as previously
discussed.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income increased by $220,000, or
46.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to 1995.

Other Operating Income
----------------------
Other operating income totaled $16,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1996, an increase of $6,000, or 60.0%, over the 1995 total. Other income
consists primarily of fees generated from late charges on loans, safety deposit
box rentals and NOW account fees.

General, Administrative and Other Expense
-----------------------------------------
General, administrative and other expense increased by $81,000, or 28.6%, for
the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995.
The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $76,000, or 61.8%, in
employee compensation and benefits, resulting primarily from the costs
associated with stock benefit plans, an increase of $13,000, or 61.9%, in
occupancy and equipment, due primarily to depreciation and other costs attendant
to the new office location, and an increase of $9,000, or 10.6%, in other
operating expenses, which resulted primarily from the annual reporting
requirements of public stock companies. These increases were partially offset by
a decline of $17,000, or 58.6%, in federal deposit insurance premiums,
reflecting a reduction in premium rates following the recapitalization
assessment.

Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
The Corporation recorded a provision for federal income taxes totaling $113,000
for the three months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of $46,000, or 68.7%,
over the same period in 1995. The increase resulted primarily from a $145,000,
or 73.2%, increase in earnings before taxes. The effective tax rates were 32.9%
and 33.8% for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
