FIRST SAVINGS BANK OF WASHINGTON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996

Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of First Savings
Bank of Washington Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) included herein reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated financial
statements include the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, First Savings Bank
of Washington (FSBW) and Inland Empire Bank (IEB). The balance sheet data at
March 31, 1996, is derived from the Company's audited financial statements.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended March 31, 1996 (File No. 0-26584) of the Company. Certain
amounts in the prior period's financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current period's presentation.

Effective April 1, 1996 the Company's subsidiary banks adopted SFAS No. 122,
Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, which amended SFAS No. 65. SFAS
No. 122 requires the Banks to allocate the total cost of all mortgage loans
sold, whether originated or purchased, to mortgage servicing rights and the
loans (without the mortgage servicing rights ) based on their relative fair
values if it is practicable to estimate those fair values. If such allocation
is not deemed practicable, the entire cost of acquiring the loans should be
allocated to the loans with no cost allocated to mortgage servicing rights.
SFAS No. 122 is applied prospectively. The adoption of this statement has not
materially impacted the Company's results of operation or financial condition.

Note 3: Recent Developments and Significant Events Since March 31, 1996

During the nine months ended December 31, 1996 the US Congress passed
legislation requiring that all financial institutions with deposits insured by
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) pay a special assessment to
recapitalize the SAIF. This assessment resulted in the Company's SAIF insured
subsidiary, First Savings Bank of Washington (FSBW), recording a $2.4 million
expense representing FSBW's share of an industry-wide special assessment to
recapitalize the SAIF, which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC). The assessment was calculated at .657% of insured
deposits as of March 31, 1995. The special assessment, charged to every
depository institution in the country with deposits insured by SAIF, was
contained in the US Congressional omnibus appropriations package passed on
September 30, 1996. The legislation empowers the FDIC to lower the insurance
premium from $.23 per $100 of deposits to $.065 per $100 of deposits beginning
January 1997. The $2.4 million assessment ($1.6 million after tax) was
recorded as part of the Company's non-interest expense in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996. Excluding the special assessment, the Company's net
income for the nine months ended December, 1996 would have been approximately
$7.9 million, or $.81 per share compared with net income of $4.0 million for
the comparable period in fiscal 1996. Management estimates that this special
assessment expense will be offset during the next three to four years through
anticipated lower depository insurance costs.

At the Company's annual stockholders meeting held on July 26, 1996, the
shareholders approved adoption of the Management Recognition and Development
Plan (MRDP) and Stock Option Plan (SOP). Under the MRDP the Company is
authorized to grant up to 436,425 shares of restricted stock to directors,
officers and employees of the Bank. The initial grant of 404,282 shares with
a total cost of $6.0 million vests over a five year period starting from the
July 26, 1996, MRDP approval date. The consolidated statements of income for
the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1996, reflect an accrual of
$321,000 and $641,000 respectively of compensation expense for the MRDP
including $20,000 and $40,000, respectively, of expense for dividends on the
allocated, restricted stock. Under the SOP the Company has reserved an
aggregate of 1,091,063 shares for issuance pursuant to the exercise of stock
options which may be granted to employees and directors. The exercise price
of the stock options are set at 100% of the fair market value of the stock
price at date of grant. As of December 31, 1996, approximately 903,000 stock
options with a weighted average exercise price of $15.017 per share have been
granted. Such options will vest over a five year period ending in fiscal 2002
and any unexercised options will expire after ten years.

The Company completed the acquisition of Inland Empire Bank (IEB) of
Hermiston, Oregon effective August 1, 1996. The Company paid the former
shareholders of IEB $60.8951 per share, in cash, for a total acquisition price
of $32.8 million. IEB has five full service branches, a remote drive-up
facility and two loan production offices located in northeast Oregon. The
acquisition of IEB was treated as a purchase for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, under generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and
liabilities of IEB have been recorded on the books of the Company at their
respective fair market values at the effective date the acquisition was
consummated. Goodwill, the excess of the purchase price (cost) over the net
fair value of the assets and liabilities, was recorded at $12.4 million.
Amortization of goodwill over a 14 year period will result in a charge to
earnings of approximately $884,000 per year. Because of the amount of assets
of IEB acquired by the Company, the financial results for December 31, 1996,
are not generally comparable to those of a year ago. The combined
organization at December 31, 1996, is significantly larger than it was a year
ago.

The accompanying financial statements include the operations of the two
institutions from August 1, 1996, to December 31, 1996. The following pro
forma information presents the results of operations for the quarter and nine
months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, as though the acquisition had
occurred on April 1, 1995. The pro forma results do not necessarily indicate
the actual results that would have been obtained, nor are they necessarily
indicative of the future operations of the combined companies. The unaudited

ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

General

First Savings Bank of Washington Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), a Delaware
corporation, is primarily engaged in the business of planning, directing and
coordinating the business activities of its wholly owned subsidiaries, First
Savings Bank of Washington (FSBW) and Inland Empire Bank (IEB) (together, the
Banks). FSBW is a Washington-chartered savings bank the deposits of which are
insured by the FDIC under the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). FSBW
conducts business from its main office in Walla Walla, Washington and its 16
branch offices and three loan production offices located in southeast,
central, north central and western Washington. IEB is an Oregon-chartered
commercial bank whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) under the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). IEB conducts business
from its main office in Hermiston, Oregon and its five branch offices and two
loan production offices located in northeast Oregon.

The operating results of the Company depend primarily on its net interest
income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning
assets, consisting of loans and investment securities, and interest expense
on interest-bearing liabilities, composed primarily of savings deposits and
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. Net interest income is primarily a
function of the Company's interest rate spread, which is the difference
between the yield earned on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities, as well as a function of the average balance of
interest earning assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities. As more fully explained below, the Company's net interest income
significantly increased for both the most recent quarter and nine months ended
December 31, 1996, when compared to the same the periods for the prior year.
This increase in net interest income was largely due to the substantial growth
in average asset and liability balances. The Company's net income also is
affected by provisions for loan losses and the level of its other income,
including deposit service charges, loan origination and servicing fees, and
gains and losses on the sale of loans and securities, as well as its
non-interest operating expenses and income tax provisions. As further
explained below, net income for the quarter and nine months also increased
reflecting the rise in net interest income and a substantial increase in other
operating income which was somewhat offset by increases in operating expenses
and provision for income taxes. Operating results and in, particular,
non-interest operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1996,
were significantly affected by the special assessment to recapitalize SAIF.
Operating results for the most recent quarter and nine month periods were also
significantly affected by the acquisition of IEB.

Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations is intended to
assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying
Selected Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Developments and Significant Events

On November 19, 1996, the Company completed its stock repurchase program
initiated in April 1996 which authorized the repurchase of 545,525 shares of
its outstanding common stock. On November 20, 1996, the Company's Board of
Directors approved continuance of the stock repurchase program authorizing the
purchase of up to 10% of total shares outstanding over the next 12 months. As
of December 31, 1996, the company has repurchased a total of 745,525 shares
at an average price of $15.990 per share. The Company has set aside 436,425
shares for its Management Recognition and Development Plan (MRDP) of which
403,982 shares were allocated as of December 31, 1996 (see Note 3 to
financial statements) The remaining 32,443 unallocated shares are held as
treasury stock designated for the MRDP.

The Company completed the acquisition of Inland Empire Bank (IEB) of
Hermiston, Oregon effective August 1, 1996. (see Note 3 to financial
statements).

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31 and March 31, 1996

Total assets increased $233.9 million, or 31.5%, from $743.2 million at March
31, 1996, to $977.1 million at December 31, 1996. The majority of the growth,
$157.6 million, was from the August, 1996 acquisition of IEB. The balance of
the increase generally reflected growth in net loans receivable and was funded
primarily with advances from the FHLB and other borrowings. This growth
represented a continuation of management's plans to leverage the Company's
strong capital position.

Loans receivable grew $186.2 million, or 44.8%, from $415.3 million at March
31,1996, to $601.5 million at December 31, 1996. The acquisition of IEB
contributed $90.5 million of the increase and the remaining increase in loans
of $95.7 million was funded primarily by a net increase of $81.9 million, or
41.2%, in FHLB advances and other borrowings under repurchase agreements from
$199.1 million at March 31, 1996, to $281.0 million on December 31, 1996.

Securities available for sale and held to maturity increased $2.3 million to
$296.0 million at December 31, 1996 from $293.7 million at March 31,1996.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock increased $3.2 million as the Company was
required to purchase more stock as a result of its increased use of FHLB
advances.

Deposits grew $158.4 million or 42.3%, from $374.1 million at March 31, 1996,
to $532.5 million at December 31, 1996. The acquisition of IEB contributed
$134.6 million of the increase.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter and Nine months Ended December
31, 1996 and 1995

General. Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was $3.1 million,
an increase of $1.3 million from the comparable quarter ended December, 1995.
Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 was $6.3 million, or $.65
per share, compared to net income of $4.0 million recorded in the comparable
period of fiscal 1996. Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 1996
was significantly affected by recording the $2.4 million ($1.6 million after
tax) non-interest expense representing the Company's share of an industry-wide
special assessment in the second quarter to recapitalize SAIF. The special
assessment, charged to every depository institution in the country with
deposits insured by SAIF, was contained in the US Congressional omnibus
appropriations package passed in September, 1996. The legislation empowered
the FDIC to lower the insurance premium from $.23 per $100 of deposits to
$.065 per $100 of deposits beginning January, 1997. The Company's net income,
without the special assessment, would have been approximately $7.9 million for
the nine months of fiscal 1997. In addition, the nine months ended December
31, 1996 included five months of combined operations with Inland Empire Bank
which the Company acquired on August 1, 1996. The acquisition significantly
affected the Company's operating results for both the quarter and the nine
months ended December 31, 1996.

Excluding the special assessment, the Company's improved operating results
reflect the significant growth of assets, liabilities and stockholders'
equity. Compared to year ago levels, total assets increased 64% to $977.1
million at December 31, 1996, total loans rose 78% to $601.5 million and total
deposits climbed 45% to $532.5 million. Assets were 32% higher than at March
31, 1996, total loans rose 45%, and deposits grew 42% in the first three
quarters of fiscal 1997. The substantial increase in these balances resulted
from the deployment and leveraging of the $98.6 million in net proceeds raised
in the Company's conversion from mutual to stock ownership on October 31, 1995
and the second quarter acquisition of IEB.

The Company's return on average equity increased from 5.93% for the quarter
ended December 31, 1995, to 8.41% for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
Return on equity for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, decreased to
5.67% as compared to 7.13% for the same period in December, 1995, which was
expected due to the large increase in average equity resulting from the
October 31, 1995, stock offering.

Interest Income. Interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, was
$18.2 million compared to $10.7 million for the quarter ended December 31,
1995, an increase of $7.5 million, or 70.2%. The increase in interest income
was a result of a $349.5 million or 61.2% growth in average balances of
interest earning assets combined with a 39 basis point increase in the average
yield on those assets , which rose from 7.48% in the quarter ended December
31, 1995, to 7.87% in 1996. Average loans receivable for the third quarter
of fiscal 1997 increased by $263.8 million, or 81.0% when compared to the same
quarter in fiscal 1996. Interest income on loans increased by $5.9 million or
85.9%, compared to the same quarter a year earlier reflecting the impact of
the increase in average loan balances and a 20 basis point increase in the
yield on those balances primarily resulting from the inclusion of higher
yielding loans held by IEB. Loans yielded 8.64% for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, compared to 8.44% for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.
The average balance of mortgage-backed obligations and investment securities
for the third quarter fiscal 1997, increased by $85.6 million compared to the
same quarter in fiscal 1996, and the yield on those balances increased 29
basis points primarily reflecting certain purchases of mortgage-backed
obligations. Interest income on loans for the nine months ended December 31,
1996, increased $13.4 million or 68.09% from the comparable period in
December, 1995. The increase reflects a $203.8 million increase in the
average balance of loans receivable combined with a 14 basis point increase in
their yield. The August 1996 acquisition of $90.5 million of loans held by
IEB contributed a significant portion of the increase.

The average balance of mortgage-backed securities, investment securities,
daily interest-bearing deposits and FHLB stock increased by $85.7 million in
the quarter ended December 31, 1996, and interest and dividend income from
those investments rose by $1.6 million for the December,1996 quarter compared
to 1995. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities rose from 6.52% for
the quarter ended December,1995 to 6.83% in 1996. The average yield on
investment securities and deposits decreased slightly from 5.97% for the
quarter ended December ,1995 to 5.94% in 1996. Earnings on FHLB stock
increased by $166,000 reflecting an increase of $7.9 million in the average
balance of FHLB stock for the quarter ended December,1996 and a 77 basis point
increase in the dividend yield on that stock.

Interest income on interest bearing securities and deposits and FHLB stock for
the nine months ended December 31, 1996, increased $1.2 million from the
comparable period in December 1995. The increase reflects a $28.9 million
increase in the average balance of securities and deposits, and FHLB stock
combined with a slight, 10 basis point, increase in yield.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 1996,
was $9.8 million compared to $5.6 million for the comparable period in 1995,
an increase of $4.2 million, or 74.2%. The increase in interest expense was
due to the $344.6 million growth in average interest-bearing liabilities. The
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities in the quarter ended December
1996 was largely due to a $237.8 million increase in the average balance of
FHLB advances and other borrowings combined with a $106.8 million growth in
average deposits coming primarily from the acquisition of IEB. Average FHLB
advances totaled $228.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1996, as
compared to $22.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1995,
resulting in a $3.1 million increase in related interest expense. The average
rate paid on those advances increased from 5.64% for the quarter ended
December, 1995 to 5.94% for the comparable period in 1996. Other borrowings
consist of retail repurchase agreements with customers and repurchase
agreements with investment banking firms secured by certain investment
securities. The average balance for other borrowings increased $31.7 million
from $7.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, to $39.0 million
for the same period in 1996, and the related interest expense increased
$438,000, from $113,000 to $551,000 for the respective periods. The bulk of
this growth in other borrowings reflects an increase in repurchase agreements
with investment banking firms. Average deposit balances increased from $420.7
million for the quarter ended December 1995, to $527.5 million for the
comparable period in 1996 while, at the same time, the average rate paid on
deposit balances decreased 53 basis points. The sharp decline in the rate
paid on deposits primarily reflects the acquisition of IEB's $32.1 million of
non-interest bearing deposits. Deposit interest expense increased a modest
$629,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. A comparison of total
interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, shows an
increase of $9.5 million or 56.0% from the comparable period in December,
1995. The majority of this increase is due to the $185.0 million growth in
the average balances of FHLB and other borrowings which are being used to
leverage the Company's growth in interest earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the
provision for loan losses was $231,000, compared to $156,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 1995, an increase of $75,000. The increase in the
provision for estimated loan losses is primarily attributable to the overall
increase in net loans receivable. Net loans increased $29.6 million, for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996 versus $26.8 million for the comparable period
in 1995. The allowance for loan losses, net of charge-offs (recoveries),
increased by $2.4 million, to $6.5 million at December 31, 1996, compared to
$4.1 million at March 31, 1996. A comparison of the provision for loan losses
for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, shows an increase of $883,000 to
$1.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, from $268,000 for
the comparable period in 1995. This increase is primarily due to the $95.7
million growth in loans receivable for the 1996 nine month period (excluding
the acquisition of IEB's $90.5 million loan portfolio) as compared to the
$38.4 million growth in loans receivable for the same period in 1995. The
allowance for losses on loans is maintained at a level sufficient to provide
for estimated losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio and upon management's continuing analysis of the factors underlying
the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size
and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, current
and anticipated economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for
which full collectibility may not be assured, and determination of the
existence and realizable value of the collateral and guarantees securing the
loans. Additions to these allowances are charged to earnings. Provisions for
losses that are related to specific assets are usually applied as a reduction
of the carrying value of the assets and charged immediately against the income
of the period. The reserve is based upon factors and trends identified by
management at the time financial statements are prepared. In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Banks allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require the Banks' to provide additions to the allowance based upon judgments
different from management. Although management uses the best information
available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to
economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Banks'
control.

Other Operating Income. Other operating income increased from $170,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 1995, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to a $401,000 increase in
other fees and service charges due largely to IEB operations earning higher
fees as a commercial bank although fee income also increased at FSBW
reflecting deposit growth and pricing adjustments. In addition there was
$563,000 increase in net gains on securities and loans sold in the quarter
ended December 31, 1996, as compared to 1995. Other operating income for the
nine months ended December 31, 1996, increased $1.1 million from the
comparable period in 1995. The $734,000 increase in fee income during the
nine month period ended September, 1996 was due largely from IEB operations
and, when combined with the $247,000 increase in net gains on the sale of
loans and securities, accounted for the majority of the increase.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses increased $2.4 million
from $2.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, to $4.9 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The increase in non-interest operating
expense for the quarter ended December, 1996 was primarily due to the
increase of $1.7 million of IEB operating expenses for a full quarter. The
increase also reflects growth of the Company including increased personnel
costs and increases in legal, accounting and insurance costs relating to
operating as a public company. Other operating expenses for the nine months
ended December 31, 1996, increased $7.1 million from the comparable period in
1995. The majority of the increase was related to the prior quarter's SAIF
assessment of $2.4 million, the acquisition of IEB and Company growth as
discussed above. This increase was offset by a $217,000 increase in
capitalized loan origination costs reflecting a $46.6 million increase in loan
origination volume compared to the same period in 1995.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996, compared to $830,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
1995. The increase in the provision for income taxes reflects the higher
level of income. The Company's effective tax rates for the quarters ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 were 31.74% and 31.34%, respectively. Income tax
expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, increased $851,000 from
the comparable period in 1995. The Company's effective tax rate decreased
slightly to 28.34% for the nine months ended December 31, 1996, from 28.86%
for the comparable period in 1995. The expected increase in income taxes was
due to the $3.1 million increase in before-tax income during the fiscal 1997
nine month period as compared to fiscal 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB advances, proceeds
from loan principal and interest payments and sales of loans, and the maturity
of, and interest income on 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 market interest rates, general economic conditions and
competition.

The primary investing activity of the Company is the origination and purchase
of mortgage, consumer, and commercial loans through its subsidiary Banks, IEB
and FSBW. During the nine months ended December 31, 1996, the subsidiary
Banks closed or purchased loans in the amount of $276.5 million. This activity
was funded primarily by principal repayments on loans and securities, sales of
loans, increases in FHLB advances, and deposit growth. For the nine months
ended December 31, 1996, principal repayments on loans totaled $149.6 million
and the Banks' proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans totaled $28.7 million.
FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $41.1 million and $40.5 million,
respectively, for the same period , and net deposit growth was $23.8 million
excluding $134.6 million of deposits acquired with IEB.

The Banks must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the
availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit
withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of
investment opportunities. At December 31, 1996, the Banks had undisbursed
loans in process totaling $52.9 million. The Banks generally maintain
sufficient cash and readily marketable securities to meet short term liquidity
needs. FSBW also maintains a credit facility with the FHLB of Seattle, which
provides for advances which in aggregate may equal up to 40% of FSBW's total
assets, which as of December 31, 1996, would give FSBW a total credit line of
$312.9 million. Advances under this credit facility totaled $220.2 million,
or 28% of FSBW's assets at December 31, 1996. IEB also maintains credit
lines with various institutions that would allow it to borrow up to $6.0
million.
16

At December 31, 1996, savings certificates amounted to $318.1 million, or 60%,
of the Banks' total deposits, including $207,449 million which were scheduled
to mature within one year. Historically, the Banks have been able to retain a
significant amount of their deposits as they mature. Management believes it
has adequate ability to fund all loan commitments by using deposits, FHLB of
Seattle advances and the sale of mortgage loans or securities, and that it can
adjust the offering rates of savings certificates to retain deposits in
changing interest rate environments.

Capital Requirements

Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintain minimum
levels of regulatory capital. Under current FDIC regulations, insured
state-chartered banks generally must maintain (i) a ratio of Tier 1 leverage
capital to total assets of at least 3.0% (4.0% to 5.0% for all but the most
highly rated banks), (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of
at least 4.0% and (iii) a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of at
least 8.0%. At December 31, 1996, the Company's banking subsidiaries exceeded
all current regulatory capital requirements to be classified as well
capitalized institutions, the highest regulatory standard. In order to be
categorized as a well capitalized institution, the FDIC requires banks it
regulates to maintain a leverage ratio, defined as Tier 1 capital divided by
total regulatory assets, of at least 5.00%,Tier 1 (or core) capital of at
least 6.00% of risk-weighted assets; and total capital of at least 10.00% of
risk-weighted assets.

The Company, as a bank holding company, is regulated by the Federal Reserve
Board (FRB). The FRB has established capital requirements for bank holding
companies that generally parallel the capital requirements of the FDIC for
banks with $150 million or more in total consolidated assets. The Company's
total regulatory capital must equal 8% of risk-weighted assets and one half of
the 8% (4%) must consist of Tier 1 (core) capital.

The following table reflects the Company's applicable regulatory requirements
and the actual level of regulatory capital at December 31, 1996.

Required Actual
Percent Amount Percent Amount
------- ------ ------- ------
(dollars in thousands)
Risk-based capital ratios
Tier 1 4.00% $21,215 26.50% $135,228

Total 8.00 42,431 26.72 $141,724
