(4)  Commitments and Contingencies

  At March 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate or
purchase loans of $135.7 million.  Unused equity lines of credit available to
customers were $103.7 million at March 31, 1999.

(5)  Operating Segments

  The Company's operations include two primary segments: banking and mortgage
brokerage. Through its banking subsidiary's network of 20 retail banking
facilities in Chicago; north, west and southwestern Cook County; and DuPage
County in Illinois, the Company provides traditional community banking services
such as accepting deposits and making loans. Mortgage brokerage activities
conducted through the Bank's subsidiary, Preferred Mortgage Associates, Ltd.
("Preferred") include the origination of primarily residential mortgage loans
for sale to various investors as well as to the Bank. The Company's two
reportable segments are strategic business units that are separately managed as
they offer different products and services and have different marketing
strategies. Smaller operating segments are combined and consist of financial
advice and brokerage services, insurance, joint venture real estate
developments, and holding company investments. Assets and results of operations
are based on generally accepted accounting principles, with profit and losses of
equity method investees excluded. Inter-segment revenues and expenses are
eliminated in reporting consolidated results of operations.

  Operating segment information is as follows:

ALLIANCE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

GENERAL

  Alliance Bancorp ( the "Company") is a registered savings and loan holding
company incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware and is engaged in
the business of providing financial service products to the public through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Liberty Federal Bank (the "Bank").

  The Bank, a Federal savings bank chartered under the authority of the Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), originally was organized in 1934, and changed its
charter from a federal savings and loan association to a federal savings bank in
1991.  The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System and
its deposit accounts are insured to the maximum allowable amount by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  The Bank is regulated by the OTS and
the FDIC and is further regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System as to reserves required to be maintained against deposits and
certain other matters.

  The Bank is a community-oriented company providing financial services through
twenty full service retail banking facilities in Chicago; north, west and
southwestern Cook County; and DuPage County in Illinois.  The Bank offers a
variety of deposit products in an attempt to attract funds from the general
public in highly competitive market areas surrounding its offices.  In addition
to deposit products, the Bank also offers its customers financial advice and
security brokerage services through INVEST Financial Corporation ("INVEST").
The Bank invests its retail deposits primarily in mortgage and consumer loans,
investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, secured primarily by one-
to four-family residential loans.

  The earnings of the Bank are primarily dependent on its net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest income earned on its loans,
mortgage-backed and investment securities portfolios, and its cost of funds,
consisting of the interest paid on its deposits and borrowings.

  On May 31, 1995, the Company acquired Preferred Mortgage Associates, Ltd.
("Preferred"), one of the largest mortgage brokers in the Chicago metropolitan
area.  Preferred has four mortgage origination offices including its
headquarters in Downers Grove, Illinois.  The acquisition of Preferred has
resulted in increases in both noninterest income and noninterest expense.

  The Bank's earnings are also affected by noninterest income, including income
related to loan origination fees contributed by Preferred and the noncredit
consumer related financial services offered by the Bank, such as net commissions
received by the Bank from securities brokerage services, commissions from the
sale of insurance products, loan servicing income, fee income on transaction
accounts, and interchange fees from its shared ATMs.  The Bank's noninterest
income has also been affected by gains from the sale of various assets,
including loans, mortgage-backed securities, investment securities, loan
servicing, and real estate.  Noninterest expense consists principally of
employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expense, federal deposit insurance
premiums, and other general and administrative expenses of the Bank and
Preferred.

  On February 10, 1997, the Company and Liberty Bancorp, Inc., the holding
company for Liberty Federal Savings Bank, consummated their merger in a stock-
for-stock exchange.  Liberty Federal Savings Bank was merged into Hinsdale
Federal Bank for Savings, and the resulting Bank operates under the name Liberty
Federal Bank.  The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and 1.054 shares of Alliance Bancorp common stock were exchanged for
each share of Liberty Bancorp outstanding common stock.  There were 3,930,405
shares of common stock of Alliance Bancorp issued for 3,733,013 shares of
Liberty Bancorp common stock.  Liberty Bancorp had total assets of $680 million
and deposits of $516 million at the date of the merger.  The fair value of the
net assets acquired approximated the purchase price, accordingly; no goodwill
was recorded.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
  On June 30, 1998, the Company consummated the acquisition of Southwest
Bancshares, the holding company for Southwest Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Chicago ("the Association").  The transaction was accounted for
under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and 1.1981 shares of
Alliance Bancorp common stock were exchanged for each share of Southwest
Bancshares outstanding common stock.  There were 3,411,500 shares of Alliance
Bancorp shares issued for 2,847,585 shares of Southwest Bancshares.  Southwest
Bancshares had total assets of $391 million and deposits of $308 million at the
date of acquisition.  The consolidated financial statements of Alliance Bancorp
for periods prior to the combination have been restated to include the accounts
and the results of operations of Southwest Bancshares for all periods presented.

  The Bank's results of operations are also significantly affected by general
economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest
rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking
statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition,
results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various
factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these
estimates.  These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic
conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate
values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or
guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic,
competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the
Company's operations, pricing, products and services, including Year 2000
issues.

LIQUIDITY/CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, principal and
interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and the sale of loans,
mortgage-backed and investment securities.  While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of
funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by interest
rate cycles and economic conditions.

  The Bank is required by regulation to maintain specific minimum levels of
liquid investments.  Regulations currently in effect require the Bank to
maintain liquid assets at least equal to 4.0% of the sum of its average daily
balance of net withdrawable accounts and short-term borrowed funds.  This
regulatory requirement may be changed from time to time by the OTS to reflect
current economic conditions and deposit flows.  The Bank's average liquidity
ratio was 13.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

  The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include
investments in highly liquid, short-term investments and interest-bearing
deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating,
financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.  At March
31, 1999, cash and cash equivalents totaled $63.2 million.

  Liquidity management for the Company is both a daily and long-term function of
the Company's management strategy.  Excess funds are generally invested in
short-term investments and interest-bearing deposits.  In the event that the
Company should require funds beyond its ability to generate them internally,
additional sources of funds are available through the use of Federal Home Loan
Bank of Chicago ("FHLB") advances.

  The Company's cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash flows
from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows
from financing activities.  Net cash related to operating activities, consisting
primarily of interest and dividends received less interest paid on deposits, and
the origination and sale of loans, provided $52.6 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999.  Net cash related to investing activities, consisting
primarily of disbursements for loans originated or purchased for investment,
purchases of mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale,
offset by sales of mortgage-backed securities available for sale, maturities of
investment securities available for sale, principal collections on loans and
mortgage-backed securities, utilized $26.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.  Net cash utilized by financing activities, consisting primarily
of net activity in deposit and escrow accounts, net proceeds from borrowed
funds, the payment of dividends and the purchase of treasury stock, totaled
$43.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
  In connection with the Company's loan origination activities, the Company's
interest rate risk management policy specifies the use of certain hedging
activities in an attempt to reduce exposure to changes in loan market prices
from the time of commitment until securitization.  The Company may engage in
hedging transactions as a method of reducing its exposure to interest rate risk
present in the secondary market.  The Company's hedging transactions are
generally forward commitments to sell fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities at a
specified future date.  The loans securitized through the Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA") are generally used to satisfy these forward
commitments.  The sale of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities for future
delivery presents a risk to the Company that, if the Company is not able to
deliver the mortgage-backed securities on the specified delivery date, it may be
required to repurchase the forward commitment to sell at the then current market
price.  At March 31, 1999 the Company had no forward commitments to sell FNMA
mortgage-backed securities.

  The Bank's tangible capital ratio at March 31, 1999 was 7.53%.  This exceeded
the tangible capital requirement of 1.5% of adjusted assets by $115.8 million.
The Bank's leverage capital ratio at March 31, 1999 was 7.53%.  This exceeded
the leverage capital requirement of 3.0% of adjusted assets by $87.0 million.
The Bank's risk-based capital ratio was 14.05% at March 31, 1999.  The Bank
currently exceeds the risk-based capital requirement of 8.0% of risk-weighted
assets by $64.6 million.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

  The Company had total assets of $1.9 billion at March 31, 1999, a decrease of
$39.9 million, or 2.0%, from December 31, 1998.  Mortgage-backed and investment
securities increased $106.1 million offset by a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents and due from broker of $78.2 million.  Loans decreased $66.8
million.  Loans held for sale were $110.6 million at December 31, 1998 compared
to $54.4 million at March 31, 1999, a decrease of $56.2 million.

  Loans totaled $1.3 billion at March 31, 1999, a decrease of $66.8 million.
Loan originations were $283.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
offset by loan sales of $258.1 million and principal repayments of $92.6
million.

  Deposits totaled $1.3 billion at March 31, 1999, a decrease of $30.6 million.
The deposit base and the interest paid on deposits continues to be affected by
alternative investment products and competition within the Company's market
areas.

  Stockholders' equity totaled $181.1 million at March 31, 1999, a decrease of
$4.9 million.  On February 2, 1999, the Company announced a stock repurchase
plan under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 1,146,000 shares
of its outstanding common stock.  At March 31, 1999, 343,061 shares had been
repurchased for a total cost of $6.8 million, which is reflected as a reduction
in stockholders' equity.  At March 31, 1999, the number of common shares
outstanding was 11,121,820 and the book value per common share outstanding was
$16.28 per share.  On March 19, 1999, the Company declared a $0.14 per share
cash dividend payable April 20, 1999 to shareholders of record on March 31,
1999.

YEAR 2000

  The Company has established a Year 2000 Project plan to address systems and
facilities changes necessary to properly recognize dates after 1999, has
assigned implementation responsibilities, and has established management and
Board reporting processes.  All of the Company's significant financial
accounting systems are provided under contract with major national banking
systems providers who are progressing under their own Year 2000 plans. Most
significant systems changes have been completed as of December 31, 1998.  The
Company's plan follows the five step approach required by its regulators:
Awareness, Assessment, Modification, Verification, and Implementation.  The
Company's project also addresses its other suppliers, customers, and other
constituents, as well as remediation and business resumption contingency plans.
The costs of the project, and the date on which the Company plans to complete
the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates, which were
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 plans.  The
primary uncertainty facing the Company is the ability of third party systems
providers to identify and modify software as planned.  Specific factors that
might cause material 

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
differences from plans 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 codes, and similar uncertainties.

 Additional information about the Company's Year 2000 status at March 31, 1999
was as follows:

  Readiness:  The Company's plan includes both information technology ("IT") and
non-IT systems.  Most of the Company's primary Year 2000 exposures relate to IT
systems, primarily to the vendor of its account processing systems.  The Company
utilizes a national third party provider for the bulk of its data processing
needs.  As a result, a large part of the Company's mission critical Year 2000
testing is for products and services processed by that service provider.  The
service provider has completed the remediation and testing of its system and has
had its Year 2000 compliant systems in production since June 30, 1998.  The
Company is in the process of independently testing its activities on that system
to verify that the service provider's system functions in the Year 2000 for
those services used by the Company.  In November 1998, the Company successfully
completed the first phase of that testing and is scheduled to complete testing
by the spring of 1999.

  Costs:  The Company has not incurred material costs specifically related to
its Year 2000 program and does not expect these costs to have a significant
impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Direct costs of the Year 2000 issue have been estimated to not exceed $250,000
per year for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000.  The primary
direct costs include compensation and benefits paid to staff dedicated solely to
the Year 2000 issues, direct costs paid to vendors or others related to Year
2000 preparedness and the income statement effect of hardware and software
purchased to replace items not Year 2000 compliant.  The figure does not include
costs considered by the Company to be indirect costs.  The primary indirect cost
includes the time and effort of many of the Company's employees to prepare for
the Year 2000 in addition to performing their normal work routine.  The costs of
the Year 2000 project are based on the Company's best estimates, which include
numerous assumptions about future events.  Actual costs may differ due to actual
events being different than those assumed at the time the cost estimates were
prepared.

  Risks:  The most significant risk anticipated by the Company is the
possibility of interruptions to its account processing systems.  Due to the
progress described above, the Company does not presently foresee any material
interruptions to these systems.  The next most significant risk relates to
interruptions in the payment processing systems, which are integrated with the
Company's account processing systems.  The Company is working with its payment
processing vendors, the most significant of which are reported to be making
satisfactory progress in complying with federal regulatory guidelines for Year
2000 readiness.

  Contingency Plans:  The Company has taken actions to comply with federal
regulatory requirements for Year 2000 contingency planning.  The Company
presently believes that the compliance effort can and will be completed prior to
the Year 2000.  However, if required product or service upgrades are not
complete by that time, the Year 2000 issues could disrupt normal business
operations.  Although not expected at this time, the most likely worst case
scenario includes the Company being unable to process some or all of its
transactions on a temporary basis.  Because of the nature of this scenario, the
Company is in the process of establishing contingency plans for all mission
critical services.  Those contingency plans will also be tested as part of the
Company's Year 2000 preparedness.  Additionally, a business resumption plan is
being developed to mitigate risks associated with the failure of mission
critical systems.  The Year 2000 business resumption contingency plan will be
designed to ensure that mission critical core banking processes will continue if
one or more supporting systems fail and to allow for limited transaction
processing until the Year 2000 problems are fixed.

  Readers should be cautioned that forward looking statements contained in the
Year 2000 disclosure should be read in conjunction with the Company's
disclosures regarding "Forward-Looking Statements".

RECENT AND PROPOSED CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING RULES

  In June 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and
Similar Financial Instruments and for Hedging Activities," which is effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The statement requires all
derivatives to be measured at fair value and to be recognized as either assets
or liabilities in the statement of financial position.  Management, at this
time, has not determined the impact of adopting this statement on January 1,
2000.

ASSET QUALITY
Non-performing Assets

  The following table sets forth information as to non-accrual loans and real
estate owned at the dates indicated.  The Company discontinues the accrual of
interest on loans ninety days or more past due, at which time all accrued but
uncollected interest is reversed.  There were no loans at March 31, 1999 nor
during the quarter ended March 31, 1999, which met the definition of an impaired
loan.  A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be
unable to collect contractual principal and interest due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Loans considered for impairment do not
include residential mortgage and consumer installment loans.

CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS

  The Company regularly reviews the assets in its portfolio to determine whether
any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

  As of March 31, 1999 the Company had total classified assets of $723,000, of
which $586,000 were classified "substandard" and $137,000 were classified as
"doubtful."  The assets so classified consisted of auto loans, single family
residential loans and foreclosed single family residential loans (real estate
owned).

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

  The Company's asset and liability management strategy attempts to minimize the
risk of a significant decrease in net interest income caused by changes in the
interest rate environment without penalizing current income.  Net interest
income, the primary source of the Company's earnings, is affected by interest
rate movements.  To mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, a balance
sheet must be structured so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets
and liabilities in approximately equivalent amounts at basically the same time
intervals.

  The Company seeks to reduce the volatility of its net interest income by
managing the relationship of interest rate sensitive assets to interest rate
sensitive liabilities.  To accomplish this, the Company has attempted to
increase the percentage of assets, whose interest rates adjust more frequently,
and to reduce the average maturity of such assets.  A focus in recent years, had
been the origination of adjustable-rate residential real estate loans.  The
Company currently originates shorter maturity fixed-rate commercial real estate
loans, home equity lines of credit and consumer loans, which generally mature or
reprice more quickly than fixed-rate residential real estate loans.

  However, adjustable-rate loans are nearly as likely to refinance in low
interest rate environments as fixed-rate loans.  Often, interest rate cycles
allow for these refinancings before the adjustable-rate loans can adjust to
fully indexed market rates.  In such declining interest rate environments, that
result in high levels of loan refinancings, the Company may decide to acquire
longer fixed-rate mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities.  To provide an
acceptable level of interest rate risk, the Company will implement a funding
strategy using long-term Federal Home 

                                      12

Loan Bank borrowings. Imbalances in repricing opportunities at any point in time
constitute an interest sensitivity gap, which is the difference between interest
sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities. These static measurements
do not reflect the results of any potential activity and are best used as early
indicators of potential interest rate exposures.

  As part of its asset/liability strategy, the Company has implemented a policy
to maintain its cumulative one-year interest sensitivity gap ratio within a
range of (15%) to 15% of total assets, which reflects the current interest rate
environment and allows the Company to maintain an acceptable net interest rate
spread.  The gap ratio will fluctuate as a result of market conditions and
management's expectation of future interest rate trends.

(1)  For purposes of the gap analysis, mortgage, equity and consumer loans and
      leases are not reduced by the allowance for loan losses and are reduced
      for non-performing loans.

(2)  Mortgage-backed and investment securities are not increased (decreased) by
      unrealized gains (losses) resulting from the accounting for available for
      sale securities under FASB No. 115.

     Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in
the foregoing table. 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 ARM loans, have features
which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life
of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment
and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those
assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to
service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

  As its primary interest rate risk planning tool, the Bank utilizes a market
value model prepared by the OTS (the "OTS NPV model"), which is prepared
quarterly, based on the Bank's quarterly Thrift Financial Reports filed with the
OTS.  The OTS NPV model measures the Bank's interest rate risk by approximating
the Bank's net portfolio value ("NPV"), which is the net present value of
expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and any off-balance sheet
contracts, under a range of interest rate scenarios, which range from a 300
basis point increase to a 300 basis point decrease in market interest rates
(measured in 100 basis point increments).  The Bank's asset and liability
structure results in a decrease in NPV in a rising interest rate scenario and an
increase in NPV in a declining interest rate scenario.  During periods of rising
interest rates, the value of monetary assets declines more rapidly than the
value of monetary liabilities rises.  Conversely, during periods of falling
interest rates, the value of monetary assets rises more rapidly than the value
of monetary liabilities declines.  However, the amount of change in value of
specific assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates is not the same
in a rising rate environment as in a falling interest rate environment (i.e.,
the amount of value increase under a specific rate decline may not equal the
amount of value decrease under an identical upward interest rate movement).

  There have been no material changes in market risk since December 31, 1998, as
reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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
depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them.

Average Balance Sheets

  The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and reflects the average yield on
assets and the average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated.  Such
yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average
balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown.  Average
balances are derived from average daily balances and include non-performing
loans.  The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to
yields.

Rate/Volume Analysis

  The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense
during the periods indicated.  Information is provided in each category with
respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by prior rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes
in rate multiplied by prior volume), and (iii) the net change. The changes
attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated
proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1999 AND MARCH 31, 1998

GENERAL

  Net income totaled $4,601,000, or $0.39 per diluted share for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, as compared to $4,837,000, or $0.41 per diluted share
reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  Net interest income for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 was $12.7 million, a decrease of $176,000, or
1.4%, from the March 31, 1998 quarter of $12.9 million.

INTEREST INCOME

  Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 totaled $32.5 million, a
decrease of $175,000, or 0.5%, from the prior year's quarter.  Interest income
on mortgage loans, the largest component of interest-earning assets, decreased
$476,000, or 2.3%, to $20.3 million from the March 1998 quarter. The average
balance of the mortgage portfolio increased $16.9 million.  The annualized
average yield on the mortgage loan portfolio decreased to 7.35% for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 from 7.64% for the 1998 period.  The Bank's mortgage
loan portfolio is being affected by the current market conditions for
refinancing single family residences, whereby higher yielding loans are repaid
and replaced by lower yielding loans.  Interest income on equity lines of credit
decreased $144,000, or 7.8%, to $1.7 million from the prior year's quarter.  The
Bank's home equity line of credit product is priced based on the prime rate,
which was 7.75% for the current quarter as compared to 8.50% for the comparable
quarter a year ago.  The average balance of equity lines of credit increased
$1.7 million, to $95.1 million from $93.4 million from the March 1998 quarter.
Interest income on consumer loans and leases increased $978,000 to $1.8 million
for 

                                      16
<PAGE>
 
the three months ended March 31, 1999. The average balance of the consumer loans
and leases increased $46.3 million, or 108.7% from the 1998 period, primarily as
a result of the indirect auto portfolio, which began operations in 1998.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities for the three months ended March
31, 1999 increased $225,000 to $5.4 million and the average balance of the
mortgage-backed securities portfolio increased $40.9 million from the March 1998
period. The annualized average yield on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio
decreased to 6.32% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from 6.88% for the
1998 period, primarily as a result of the overall reduction in market rates.
Interest income on investment securities for the three months ended March 31,
1999 decreased $1.0 million to $1.5 million and the average balance of the
investment securities portfolio decreased $60.8 million from the March 1998
period. Purchases of mortgage-backed and investment securities for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 totaled $184 million offset by sales and maturities
of $92.7 million. The average balance of interest-bearing cash increased $47.7
million, to $151.3 million primarily as a result of repositioning the investment
portfolios to accommodate the cash flow and liquidity needs of the Bank.

INTEREST EXPENSE

  Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $1.5 million, or 10.1%, to
$13.6 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to the prior year's
quarter.  The decrease is related to both a decrease in the average deposit base
and the annualized average cost of deposits.  The average deposit base decreased
$63.8 million to $1.2 billion during the 1999 period.  The annualized average
cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was 4.57%, a decrease
from the annualized average cost of 4.83% for the March 1998 period. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company recorded interest expense on borrowed
funds of $6.1 million on an average balance of $462.1 million at an annualized
cost of 5.29% related to FHLB borrowings.

NET INTEREST INCOME

  Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased
$176,000 or 1.4%, to $12.7 million from the 1998 period.  The annualized average
yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 7.36% to 6.96% when comparing
the 1998 and 1999 quarters.  The annualized average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities decreased from 5.02% to 4.77%.  This resulted in an annualized
average net interest rate spread of 2.19% for the three-month period ended March
31, 1999 compared to 2.34% for the prior year's period.  Both the average
balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities increased
during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to the 1998 quarter.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

  Based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio, a provision of $50,000
for loan losses was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The
allowance for loan losses represents 0.50% of total loans receivable at March
31, 1999.  The amount of non-performing loans at March 31, 1999, was $4.7
million, or 0.37% of total loans, compared to $3.3 million or 0.26% of total
loans at March 31, 1998.

NONINTEREST INCOME

  Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $6.7
million, an increase of $524,000 from the 1998 period.  The quarter ended March
31, 1999 included gains on sales of loans of $382,000 compared to $39,000
recorded in the year ago quarter.  The prior year's period included a gain of
$504,000 on the sales of mortgage-backed and investment securities compared to a
loss of $5,000 in the current year's quarter.  Other fees and commissions
increased $537,000, primarily due to loan origination fees contributed by
Preferred.  Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, includes a gain
on the sale of Liberty Financial Services Inc.'s insurance book of business of
$250,000.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

  Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 totaled $12.9
million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 16.1% from the prior year's quarter.
Compensation and benefits increased $1.2 million, of which $900,000 is related
to the origination, sale and delivery of loans by Preferred.  The remaining
increase of $300,000 is primarily attributable to additional severance cost for
employee terminations related to the Southwest Bancshares merger.  

                                       17

Occupancy expense increased $268,000 over the prior year's quarter primarily due
to depreciation expense on additional data processing and communication
equipment. Other operating expense increased $430,000, primarily due to costs
related to technology improvements and increases in other outside vendor service
costs.

INCOME TAX PROVISION

  The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$1.9 million.  The effective tax rate for the quarter was 29.4% compared to
38.7% for the 1998 quarter.  The lower effective tax rate for the current
quarter was due to a reduction in the provision of $600,000 as a result of the
completion of a review of the Company's tax liability.
