Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1. Statement of Information Furnished

         The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q  instructions and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X, and in the opinion of management contains all adjustments (all of which are
normal and  recurring  in nature)  necessary  to  present  fairly the  financial
position as of March 31, 1998,  the results of  operations  for the three months
ended  March 31, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows for the three  months  ended March
31, 1998 and 1997.  These results have been determined on the basis of generally
accepted  accounting  principles.  The  preparation  of financial  statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The attached  consolidated  statements  are those of AMB  Financial  Corp.  (the
"Holding Company") and its consolidated  subsidiaries American Savings, FSB (the
"Bank"),  the Bank's  wholly  owned  subsidiary  NIFCO,  Inc. , and wholly owned
subsidiary of NIFCO,Inc.,  Ridge Management,  Inc. The results of operations for
the three month period ended March 31, 1998 is not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

2. Mutual to Stock Conversion

         In December  1995,  the Bank's  Board of  Directors  approved a Plan of
Conversion  (the  "Conversion"),  providing  for the  Bank's  conversion  from a
federally  chartered mutual savings bank to a federally  chartered stock savings
bank with the concurrent  formation of a holding  company.  The Holding  Company
issued  1,124,125 shares of $.01 par value common stock at $10.00 per share, for
an aggregate purchase price of $11,241,250. The Conversion and sale of 1,124,125
shares of common stock of the Holding  Company was  completed on March 29, 1996.
Net proceeds to the Company,  after conversion expenses,  totaled  approximately
$10,658,000.

3. Earnings Per Share

         Earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and
1997 were  determined  by dividing  net income for the  periods by the  weighted
average number of both basic and diluted shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding (see Exhibit 11 attached). Stock options are regarded as
common  stock  equivalents  and are  considered  in diluted  earnings  per share
calculations. Common stock equivalents are computed using treasury stock method.
ESOP shares not  committed  to be released to  participants  are not  considered
outstanding for purposes of computing  earnings per share amounts.  Earnings per
share data for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 has been restated for
comparative  purposes to reflect the  implementation  of  Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128.

4. Impact of New Accounting Standards


         Employers'  Disclosures about Pension and Other Employee  Benefits.  In
February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
132, "Employer's  Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement  Benefits"
("SFAS No. 132"). SFAS No. 132 alters current disclosure  requirements regarding
pensions  and other  postretirement  benefits  in the  financial  statements  of
employers who sponsor such benefit plans.  The revised  disclosure  requirements
are designed to provide  additional  information to assist readers in evaluating
future costs related to such plans.  Additionally,  the revised  disclosures are
designed to provide  changes in the  components  of pension and benefit costs in
addition to the year end  components of those factors in the resulting  asset or
liability  related to such plans.  The  statement is effective  for fiscal years
beginning  after  December  15, 1997 with  earlier  application  available.  The
Company has not yet determined the impact of adopting this statement.

         The  foregoing  does not  constitute  a  comprehensive  summary  of all
material changes or developments affecting the manner in which the Company keeps
its books and records and performs its financial accounting responsibilities. It
is intended only as a summary of some of the recent  pronouncements  made by the
FASB which are of particular interest to financial institutions.

         Reporting Comprehensive Income. In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income"
("SFAS 130"). This statement  establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, losses) in a
full set of  general-purpose  financial  statements.  SFAS 130 is effective  for
fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1997.  The  Company  has not yet
determined the impact of adopting this statement.

         Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. In
June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures  about  Segments of an Enterprise and Related  Information"  ("SFAS
131") which becomes  effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15,
1997.  SFAS  131  establishes   standards  for  the  way  that  public  business
enterprises report information about operating segments and requires enterprises
to report selected  information  about operating  segments in interim  financial
reports.  The  Company  has not yet  determined  the  impact  of  adopting  this
statement.

         The  foregoing  does not  constitute  a  comprehensive  summary  of all
material changes or developments affecting the manner in which the Company keeps
its books and records and performs its financial accounting responsibilities. It

FASB which are of particular interest to financial institutions.

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                       Condition and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION

March 31, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997.

Total assets of the Company  increased $6.4 million,  or 6.41% to $106.2 million
at March 31, 1998 compared to $99.8 million at December 31, 1997.  This increase
was primarily  attributable  to the Company's loan growth which was funded by an
increase in both deposits and borrowed funds.
 
At March 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents  increased by $387,000 as liquidity
was  maintained  in  anticipation  of loan  funding  and for  general  operating
purposes.

Investment  securities  available for sale decreased $500,000 to $7.7 million at
March 31, 1998 as a result of proceeds from maturing  U.S.  Treasury  securities
being utilized for lending purpose.

Loans receivable increased to $83.1 million at March 31, 1998, a $6.0 million or
7.84% increase,  as new loan  originations of $4.9 million and loan purchases of
$6.5 million exceeded loan repayments of $5.3 million. Loan purchases during the
first  quarter  were in one to four  family  residential  first  mortgage  loans
located in the Midwest and Southern sections of the country.

Total deposits at March 31, 1998 increased by $2.7 million or 3.75%,  as deposit
receipts of $33.8 million and interest credited of $663,000 exceeded  withdrawal
activity of $31.8  million.  This deposit gain was primarily  attributable  to a
special rate 14 month certificate of deposit program.

Borrowed funds, which consist of FHLB of Indianapolis  advances,  increased $3.0
million to $15.0 million at March 31, 1998.  The increase in borrowed  funds was
utilized to fund loan production during the period.

Stockholders'  equity increased $206,000 to $15.0 million at March 31, 1998 from
$14.8 million at December 31, 1997. This increase was attributable to net income
of $225,000,  and normal amortization of RRP and ESOP benefits of $44,000, which
was offset by the declaration of dividends on common stock of $63,000.

Results of Operations

The  Company's  results of  operations  depend  primarily  upon the level of net
interest income,  which is the difference  between the interest income earned on
its interest-earning assets such as loans and investments,  and the costs of the
Company's interest-bearing  liabilities,  primarily deposits and borrowings. Net
interest  income  depends  upon  the  volume  of  interest-earning   assets  and
interest-bearing  liabilities  and the  interest  rate  earned  or paid on them,
respectively.  Results of operations  are also  dependent  upon the level of the
Company's  non-interest  income,  including fee income and service charges,  and
affected by the level of its  non-interest  expenses,  including its general and
administrative expenses.

                Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters
                         Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

Net Income.  The  Company's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998
decreased  $10,000 to $225,000  as  compared  to  $235,000  in the prior  year's
quarter. This decrease was due primarily to an increase in non- interest expense
of  $169,000  and an  increase in loan loss  provision  of $18,000  offset by an
increase in net interest income of $16,000,  an increase in non-interest  income
of $154,000, and a decrease in income taxes of $6,000.

Interest  Income.  Total interest income increased  $220,000 or 12.98%,  for the
three months ended March 31, 1998  compared to the prior  year's  quarter.  This
increase is chiefly due to the higher volume of interest-earning assets of $12.7
million. This higher volume is due mostly to a higher volume of loans receivable
which  reflects the Company's  aggressive  lending  efforts.  During the quarter
ended March 31, 1998, the average yield on interest-earning  assets decreased to
7.79% from 7.93%  during the prior  year's  quarter.  The  decrease  in yield on
average  interest-earning  assets was due primarily to current  market  interest
rates.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense  increased  $203,000 or 24.32% for the
three months  ended March 31, 1998  compared to the prior  year's  quarter.  The
increase  was due  primarily  to an  increase  of $14.0  million in the  average
deposits and borrowed money  outstanding and, to a lesser extent, by an increase
of 21 basis points in the average cost of funds.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The  determination  of the allowance for loan losses
involves  material  estimates that are susceptible to significant  change in the
near  term.  The  allowance  for loan  losses is  maintained  at a level  deemed
adequate  to  provide  for losses  through  charges to  operating  expense.  The
allowance  is based  upon  past loss  experience  and other  factors  which,  in
management's  judgment,  deserve current  recognition in estimating losses. Such
other factors  considered by management  include  growth and  composition of the
loan  portfolio,  the  relationship  of the allowance for losses to  outstanding
loans, and economic conditions.

A  provision  for loan losses of $23,000 was  recorded  during the three  months
ended March 31, 1998  compared  to $5,000 for the same  quarter a year ago.  The
increase in the provision for losses on loans was due to the  continuing  growth
in loans receivables.  Non-performing loans at March 31, 1998 continue to remain
stable,  as compared to December 31, 1997, and amount to $326,000 or .39% of net
loans  receivable.  The  allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1998 of $433,000
represents 133% of  non-performing  loans.  The Bank will continue to review its
allowance for loan losses and make future  provisions as economic and regulatory
conditions dictate. Although the Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at
a level that it considers to be adequate to provide for losses,  there can be no
assurance  that  future  losses  will  not  exceed  estimated  amounts  or  that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods.

Non-Interest  Income.  The Company's  non-interest  income increased $154,000 to
$313,000 for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998 compared to $159,000 for the same
quarter a year ago.  The increase  was due  primarily  from gains on the sale of
investment  securities held for trade of $10,000, an increase in unrealized gain
on the  Company's  trading  portfolio of $81,000,  and an increase of $34,000 in
deposit related fees due in part to an increase in ATM usage fees.

Non-Interest  Expense. The Company's  non-interest expense increased $169,000 to
$799,000 for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998 compared to $630,000 for the same
quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily the result of increased  staffing
costs of $81,000, due to bonuses of $44,000, normal salary and benefit increases
of $29,000,  and the expense recognition of the ESOP of $8,000;  additional data
processing  costs of $9,000,  and increases in professional  fees of $21,000 and
other operating expenses of $58,000 due to growth of the Company's operations.

Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased  $6,000 to
$138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the prior year
quarter due to a decrease in pre-tax income.

 
                         Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company's  principal sources of funds are deposits,  proceeds from principal
and interest payments on loans (including mortgage-backed securities),  sales or
maturities of investment securities and income from operations.  While scheduled
loan  repayments and maturing  investments are relatively  predictable,  deposit
flows and early loan repayments are more  influenced by interest  rates,  floors
and caps on loan rates, general economic conditions and competition. The primary
business activity of the Company,  that of making conventional mortgage loans on
residential housing, is likewise affected by economic conditions.

Federal  regulations  require  the Bank to  maintain  minimum  levels  of liquid
assets. The required percentage has varied from time to time based upon economic
conditions  and savings  flows and is currently 5% of net  withdrawable  savings
deposits  and  borrowings  payable  on demand or in one year or less  during the
preceding calendar month. Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio include cash,
certain  time  deposits,  U.S.  Government,   government  agency  and  corporate
securities and other obligations  generally having remaining  maturities of less
than five years.  The Bank has  historically  maintained its liquidity ratio for
regulatory  purposes at levels in excess of those  required.  At March 31, 1998,
the Bank's liquidity ratio for regulatory purposes was 15.67%.

The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which consist of
interest-bearing deposits and short-term highly liquid investments with original
maturities  of less than three  months  that are  readily  convertible  to known
amounts  of cash.  The  level of these  assets  is  dependent  on the  Company's
operating,  financing and investing activities during any given period. At March
31, 1998 and  December 31, 1997 cash and cash  equivalents  totaled $6.1 million
and $5.7 million respectively.

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,  such as overnight  deposits.  If the Company  requires
funds  beyond its  ability to generate  them  internally,  additional  funds are
available through FHLB advances.

The Company  anticipates  that it will have  sufficient  funds available to meet
current  commitments.  At  March  31,  1998 the  Company  has  outstanding  loan
commitments  totaling $1.7 million and unused lines of credit  granted  totaling
$5.0 million.

Federally  insured  savings  associations,  such as the Bank,  are  required  to
maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital.  The OTS has established capital
standards,  including  a  leverage  ratio (or core  capital)  requirement  and a
risk-based capital requirement  applicable to such savings  associations.  These
capital  requirements  must be generally as stringent as the comparable  capital
requirements  for national  banks.  The OTS is also authorized to impose capital
requirements  in excess  of these  standards  on  individual  associations  on a
case-by-case basis.

At March 31, 1998, the Bank had core capital equal to $9.7 million,  or 9.37% of
adjusted  total assets which was $5.5 million above the minimum  leverage  ratio
requirement  of 4% in effect on that date.  The Bank had total  capital of $10.1
million  (including  $9.7  million in core  capital and  $400,000 in  qualifying
supplementary  capital)  and  risk-weighted  assets of $57.0  million;  or total
risk-based  capital of 17.7% of  risk-weighted  assets at March 31,  1998.  This
amount was $5.5 million above the 8% requirement in effect on that date.

Non-Performing Assets

         The  following   table  sets  forth  the  amounts  and   categories  of
non-performing assets in the Company's portfolio. Loans are reviewed monthly and
any loan whose collectibility is doubtful is placed on non-accrual status. Loans
are placed on non-accrual  status when principal and interest is 90 days or more
past  due,   unless,   in  the  judgement  of  management,   the  loan  is  well
collateralized and in the process of collection.  Interest accrued and unpaid at
the time a loan is placed on  non-accrual  status is  charged  against  interest
income.  Subsequent  payments are either  applied to the  outstanding  principal
balance or recorded as  interest  income,  depending  on the  assessment  of the
ultimate  collectibility of the loan.  Restructured  loans include troubled debt
restructuring  (which  involved  forgiving a portion of interest or principal on
any loans or making loans at a rate  materially  less than the market rate).  At
March 31, 1998, the Company had no restructured loans.

For the three months period ended March 31, 1998,  gross  interest  income which
would have been recorded had the  non-accruing  loans been current in accordance
with their original terms amounted to $2,000.

In addition to the  non-performing  assets set forth in the table  above,  as of
March 31,  1998,  there were no loans with  respect to which  known  information
about the  possible  credit  problems of the  borrowers or the cash flows of the
security properties have caused management to have concerns as to the ability of
the borrowers to comply with present loan  repayment  terms and which may result
in the future inclusion of such items in the non- performing asset categories.

Management has considered the Company's  non-performing  and "of concern" assets
in establishing its allowance for loan losses.


                               Recent Developments


The Company declared a cash dividend of $.07 per share,  payable on May 22, 1998
to shareholders of record on May 8, 1998.

The  Company  announced  that it has  provided  notice to the  Offices of Thrift
Supervision  (the OTS) of its intent to repurchase 5% of the outstanding  shares
of common  stock in the open market over a twelve  month  period.  Subject to no
objection by the OTS, the shares will be purchased at  prevailing  market prices
from time to time depending upon market conditions.  The repurchased shares will
become treasury stock.
