                            FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION


                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

             For the three months ended September 30, 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 to Shareholders 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
    months ended September 30, 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 its wholly owned subsidiary, 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
    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.

                            FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION


             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

             For the three months ended September 30, 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, 1996, 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 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 is 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 the three months ended September 30, 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 months ended September 30, 1995, as
    the Corporation had not issued any common stock prior to its initial
    offering in April 1996.

                            FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION


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


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 1996 to September 30,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996
----

The Corporation's total assets at September 30, 1996, amounted to $85.4 million,
a $6.0 million, or 7.5%, 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 $4.2 million and growth in deposits of $1.3 million.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits totaled $3.0 million, an increase of $290,000
over the total as of June 30, 1996. This increase resulted primarily from the
aforementioned FHLB advances and deposit growth.

Mortgage-backed securities totaled $18.8 million at September 30, 1996, a $3.9
million, or 26.1%, increase over June 30, 1996. This increase resulted from
purchases totaling $4.7 million, which was partially offset by principal
repayments of $850,000.

Loans receivable totaled $49.9 million at September 30, 1996, an increase of
$1.4 million, or 2.9%, over the June 30, 1996 total. Loan disbursements during
the quarter totaled $3.8 million, which were partially offset by principal
repayments of $2.4 million.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $146,000 at both September 30, 1996 and
June 30, 1996, which represented .3% and .2% of total loans and 116.8% and
124.8% of nonperforming loans at those respective dates. Although management
believes that its allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1996 is adequate
based upon facts and circumstances available to it, there can be no assurance
that additions to such allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which
could adversely affect the Corporation's results of operations.

Deposits totaled $53.5 million at September 30, 1996, a $1.3 million, or 2.5%,
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 $4.2 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%.

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 September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's tangible and core capital totaled
$12.5 million, or 16.1% of adjusted total assets, which exceeded the minimum
requirements of $1.2 million and $2.3 million by $11.3 million and $10.1
million, respectively. The Savings Bank's risk-based capital of $12.6 million,
or 35.3% of risk-weighted assets, exceeded the current 8.0% requirement by $9.8
million.

                            FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION


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


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended September 30,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and 1995
-------------

General
-------

The Corporation recorded a net loss totaling $22,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, as compared to net earnings of $115,000 for the comparable
period in 1995. The decline in net earnings resulted primarily from a $332,000
charge recorded 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 $129,000. These increased expense items were partially offset by a
$201,000 increase in net interest income, a $50,000 decrease in the provision
for losses on loans and a $71,000 decrease in the provision for federal income
taxes.

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

Total interest income increased by $343,000, or 31.8%, to a total of $1.4
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Interest income on loans
increased by $242,000, or 29.8%, due primarily to a $6.7 million increase in the
average loan portfolio outstanding. Interest income on mortgage-backed
securities increased by $145,000, or 98.0%, due primarily to an $8.9 million
increase in the average balance outstanding. Interest income on investment
securities and interest-bearing deposits decreased by $44,000, or 37.9%, due
primarily to a $1.6 million decrease in the related investment balance coupled
with a decline in yield.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $36,000, or 6.0%, for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, compared to 1995, due primarily to a $2.0 million
increase in the average deposit portfolio outstanding.

Interest expense on borrowings increased by $106,000 due primarily to a $7.3
million increase in average advances outstanding, as management elected to fund
the purchase of mortgage-backed securities with such advance, as previously
discussed.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income increased by $201,000, or
42.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to 1995. The
interest rate spread amounted to 2.12% for the three months ended September 30,
1996, compared to 2.63% for the comparable 1995 period, while the net interest
margin increased to 3.36% in 1996, compared to 3.24% in 1995.

Provision for Losses on Loans
-----------------------------

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 losses on loans was adequate and therefore did
not record an additional provision for losses on loans during the three month
period ended September 30, 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.

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


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended September 30,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1996 and 1995 (continued)
-------------------------

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

Other operating income totaled $10,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1996, an increase of $2,000, or 25.0%, over the 1995 total. Other income
consists primarily of fees generated from late charges, safety deposit box
rentals and NOW account fees.

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

General, administrative and other expense increased by $461,000, or 178.7%, for
the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to 1995. The increase
resulted primarily from the aforementioned $332,000 charge to recapitalize the
SAIF, coupled with an increase of $81,000, or 64.8%, in employee compensation
and benefits, resulting primarily from the costs associated with stock benefit
plans and an increase of $39,000, or 66.1%, in other operating expenses, which
resulted primarily from the annual reporting requirements of a public stock
company.

Legislation to recapitalize the SAIF provides 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 was finalized at
$.657 per $100 in deposits, resulting in an additional assessment of $332,000,
or an after-tax charge of $219,000. It is expected that quarterly SAIF
assessments will be reduced to approximately $.06 to $.065 per $100 in deposits,
effective October 1, 1996.

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 prior thereto. If such
proposal is adopted, the Savings Bank would have to convert to a different
charter and would become subject to federal regulation as a bank. Such
regulation would subject the Savings Bank to the more restrictive activity
limits imposed on national banks. The Corporation, as the holding company of the
Savings Bank, would become a bank holding company, which would be subject to the
more restrictive activity limits and capital requirements similar to those
imposed on the Savings Bank. Under separate tax legislation recently enacted,
the Savings Bank is required to recapture approximately $280,000 of its bad debt
reserve, which represents the post-1987 additions to the reserve, and will be
unable to utilize the percentage of taxable income method to compute its reserve
in the future. The Corporation has provided deferred taxes for this amount and
will be permitted to amortize the recapture of its bad debt reserve over six
years.

Federal Income Taxes
--------------------

The Corporation recorded a credit provision for federal income taxes totaling
$12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $71,000, or
120.3%, from the same period in 1995. The decrease resulted primarily from a
$208,000 decline in earnings before taxes. The effective tax rates were 35.3%
and 33.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
