  Net income per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 is computed on
weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Pro forma net income
(loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 assume that
the stock issued in the conversion of the Bank from mutual to stock form had
been issued as of the beginning of the year.
 
  This computation includes the impact of the Restricted Stock Plan ("RSP")
and the Stock Option Plan which were approved by the stockholders at the
Annual Meeting of the Stockholders held on May 31, 1995.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 1994 the fully diluted earnings per share
calculation is anti-dilutive and therefore, the primary earnings per share is
shown on Consolidated Statement of Operations in accordance with APB 15.
