                           FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996

    On November 14, 1995, the Board of Directors of First Federal Savings Bank
    of Dover (the "Savings Bank") adopted a plan of conversion and
    reorganization (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 ("FFD"
    or the "Corporation"). Pursuant to the Plan, FFD 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 FFD which, after
    consideration of offering expenses totaling approximately $400,000,
    resulted in net proceeds of $14.2 million. The consolidated financial
    statements for periods prior to April 2, 1996 contained herein are those of
    the Savings Bank prior to the completion of its conversion to stock form.

    1.   Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited 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 FFD included in FFD's 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 nine month periods
    ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, 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
    FFD 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 (the "FASB")
    issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123,
    "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishing financial
    accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans. SFAS
    No. 123 encourages all entities to adopt a new method of accounting to
    measure compensation cost of all 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.

    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.

           For the three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 996

    3.   Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

    In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
    requires companies to present basic earnings per share and, if applicable,
    diluted earnings per share, instead of primary and fully diluted earnings
    per share, respectively. Basic earnings per share is computed without
    including potential common shares, i.e., no dilutive effect. Diluted
    earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common shares
    outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, including options,
    warrants, convertible securities and contingent stock agreements. SFAS No.
    128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Early
    application is not permitted. Based upon the provisions of SFAS No. 128,
    the Corporation's basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months
    ended March 31, 1997 would have been $.30 and $.28, respectively. Basic and
    diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 would
    have been $.14 and $.13, respectively.

    4.   Pending Legislative Changes

    Congress is considering legislation to eliminate the federal savings and
    loan charter and separate federal regulation of savings and loan
    associations. Pursuant to such legislation, Congress may develop a common
    charter for all financial institutions, eliminate the OTS and regulate the
    Savings Bank as a bank or require it to change its charter. Such changes
    would likely change the types of activities in which such institutions
    could engage and would probably subject them to greater regulation by the
    FDIC. In addition, the Corporation might become subject to different
    holding company regulations.

    5.  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 nine month periods ended March 31, 1997. 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 nine month periods ended March
    31, 1996, as the Conversion from mutual to stock form was completed 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 March 31, 1997

The Corporation's total assets at March 31, 1997, amounted to $85.3 million, a
$5.8 million, or 7.3%, increase over the total at June 30, 1996. This increase
was funded primarily through an increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of $3.4 million and growth in the deposit portfolio of $2.5 million.

Cash and interest-bearing deposits totaled $2.6 million, a decrease of $50,000
from the total at June 30, 1996. Investment securities totaled $9.7 million at
March 31, 1997, a decline of $2.0 million, or 17.4%, from June 30, 1996 levels.
This decrease resulted primarily from maturities and sales of investment
securities totaling $1.0 million and $994,000, respectively. Proceeds from
sales and maturities of investment securities were redeployed to fund loan
originations.

Mortgage-backed securities totaled $17.9 million at March 31, 1997, an increase
of $3.0 million, or 19.9%, over June 30, 1996 levels. The increase was due to
purchases totaling $9.7 million and was partially offset by sales of $4.0
million and principal repayments of $2.7 million. The growth in the
mortgage-backed securities portfolio was funded primarily through advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loans receivable totaled $53.0 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $4.5
million, or 9.2%, over the June 30, 1996 total. This growth in the loan
portfolio was funded through proceeds from deposit growth and from investment
securities sales and maturities.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $145,000 at March 31, 1997, which
represented 0.3% of total loans and 3,833.3% of nonperforming loans at that
date. The allowance totaled $146,000 at June 30, 1996, which represented 0.3%
of total loans and 124.8% of nonperforming loans at that date.

Deposits totaled $54.7 million at March 31, 1997, a $2.5 million, or 4.7%,
increase over June 30, 1996. This increase resulted primarily from the
introduction of a higher yield passbook savings account. Federal Home Loan Bank
advances increased by $3.4 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 March 31, 1997, the Savings Bank's tangible and core capital totaled $12.3
million, or 15.8% of adjusted total assets, which exceeded the minimum
requirements of $1.2 million and $2.3 million by $11.1 million and $10.0
million, respectively. The Savings Bank's risk-based capital of $12.5 million,
or 34.1% of risk-weighted assets, exceeded the current 8.0% requirement by $9.5
million.

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

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 1997
and 1996

General

Net earnings totaled $400,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, an
increase of $4,000, or 1.0%, over the total recorded for the comparable period
in 1996. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in net interest
income of $640,000, a decrease in the provision for losses on loans of $50,000
and a $6,000 decrease in the provision for federal income taxes, which were
partially offset by a decrease in other income of $80,000 and an increase in
general, administrative and other expense of $612,000.

Net Interest Income

Total interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 33.0%, to a total of $4.4
million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Interest income on loans
increased by $281,000, or 11.2%, due primarily to the growth in the loan
portfolio. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $512,000,
or 121.9%, due to an increase in the portfolio. Interest income on investment
securities and interest-bearing deposits increased by $293,000, or 82.1%, due
primarily to an increase in yield.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $81,000, or 4.4%, for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997, compared to 1996, due primarily to the increase in the
deposit portfolio as well as an increase in yield. Interest expense on
borrowings increased by $365,000 due primarily to a $8.0 million increase in
the average balance of advances outstanding, as management elected to fund the
purchase of mortgage-backed securities with such advances.

As a result of the foregoing, net interest income increased by $640,000, or
44.7%, for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to 1996.

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 loan losses was adequate and therefore did not
record a provision for losses on loans during the nine month period ended March
31, 1997. 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) decrease 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 Income (Loss)

Other loss totaled $2,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease
of $80,000 from the $78,000 of other income for the 1996 period. The decrease
resulted primarily from a loss on sale of mortgage-backed and investment
securities of $43,000, coupled with a gain on sale of office premises of
$50,000 during the nine month period ending March 31, 1996.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense increased by $612,000, or 70.8%, for
the nine months ended March 31, 1997, compared to 1996. The increase resulted
primarily from a $297,000, or 345.3%, increase in federal deposit insurance
premiums due primarily to a $332,000 charge recorded at September 30, 1996, as
a results of a legislative mandate to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
Additionally, employee compensation and benefits increased $202,000, or 51.5%,
primarily due to the costs associated with stock benefit plans implemented
since the Conversion. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $14,000, or
19.2%, primarily from increased costs attendant to FFD's office relocation. The
increase in other operating expense of $80,000 was due primarily to increased
professional fees and other costs related to the reporting requirements of a
public stock company and increases in insurance, stationery, office supplies
and advertising costs related to the office relocation as well as increased
data processing costs.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $195,000 for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of $6,000, or 3.0%, from the same period in
1996. The effective tax rates were 32.8% and 33.7% for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31,
1997 and 1996

General

Net earnings totaled $192,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, an
increase of $42,000, or 28.0%, over the $150,000 in net earnings recorded for
the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in earnings resulted
primarily from a $219,000 increase in net interest income, which was partially
offset by a decline in other income of $88,000, an increase in general,
administrative and other expense of $70,000 and an increase of $19,000 in the
provision for federal income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Interest income increased by $348,000, or 30.9%, for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to 1996. This increase resulted primarily from growth
in the loan portfolio over the period and the repricing of adjustable-rate
loans as well as increased interest income on mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities and interest bearing deposits. The increase in interest
income on mortgage-backed securities is primarily due to an increase in the
average balance, while the increase in interest income on investments and
interest-bearing deposits is due to increased yield. Interest expense increased
by $129,000, or 20.2%, resulting primarily from an increase in the cost of
deposits and an $8.8 million increase in the average balance of Federal Home
Loan Bank advances outstanding. Net interest income increased by $219,000, or
44.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the comparable
quarter in 1996.

Other Income (Loss)

FFD reported other loss of $28,000 for the three month period ended March 31,
1997, a decline of $88,000 from the comparable quarter in 1996. The decline
resulted from a $43,000 loss on sales of investment and mortgage-backed
securities, coupled with the recognition of a $50,000 gain on sale of office
premises in the 1996 period.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense increased by $70,000, or 21.7%, for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to 1996. The increase resulted
primarily from a $45,000, or 31.3%, increase in employee compensation and
benefits, a $14,000, or 50.0%, increase in franchise taxes, and a $32,000, or
35.6%, increase in other operating expense, which were partially offset by a
$20,000, or 69.0%, decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums. The increase
in employee compensation and benefits expense resulted primarily from costs
associated with stock benefit plans implemented since the Conversion. Franchise
tax expense increased due to the Corporation's increased equity following the
Conversion. The increase in other operating expense was due primarily to
professional fees and other costs associated with the reporting requirements of
a public stock company. Federal deposit insurance premium expense decreased due
to lower assessment rates for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to
the comparable 1996 period.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $94,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $19,000, or 25.3%, over the same period in
1996. The effective tax rates were 32.9% and 33.3% for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
