Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased $48.0 million or 10.5%, to $505.9 million at July 31,
1997 from $457.9 million at July 31, 1996. The increase in assets primarily
reflects the Company's deployment of proceeds into the loan portfolio, from
principal repayments of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity,
increased deposits levels and increased borrowings. Before the effect of
unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale, shareholders
equity decreased $200,000 or .4% to $47.4 million at July 31, 1997 from
$47.6 million at July 31, 1996.
Loans receivable, net increased $61.1 million, or 37.4%, to $224.6 million
at July 31, 1997, from $163.5 million at July 31, 1996. Approximately $35.5
million of this increase was in multi-family loans, $19.4 million in home
equity, second mortgage and home improvement loans, $8.4 million in
commercial business loans offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in
residential loans, as a result of scheduled repayments. The increase was the
result of the concerted efforts of a seasoned branch staff, a recently hired
business development officer in July 1996 and specialized lending officers
and senior management. It is Management's intention to continue to increase
the loan portfolio by changing the mix of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio
- from lower yielding loans (i.e., one- to four family loans) to higher
yielding loans (i.e., equity loans, multi-family (five (5) or more units)
buildings, and commercial (non-residential) mortgages.
Loans delinquent 90 days or more increased $900,000 or 31.0% to $3.8
million, or at July 31, 1997 from $2.9 million at July 31, 1996. The
increase is primarily due to loan growth and the change in the mix of the
loan portfolio.
REO, net, increased $263,000, or 15.8%, to $1.9 million at July 31, 1997,
from $1.7 million at July 31, 1996. The increase was mainly attributed to
$732,000 of loans receivable being transferred into REO offset by $545,000
of sales and $44,000 of charge-offs.
Investment securities available for sale portfolio increased $15.6 million,
or 17.4%, to $105.6 million at July 31, 1997 from $90.0 million at July 31,
1996. The increase was mainly attributable to purchases of $34.9 million and
an increase in market value (before tax) of $25.5 million (of which $22.1
million reflects the reclassification of the equity securities portfolio,
originally carried at cost) offset by sales of $47.7 million, maturities of
$3.0 million, and principal repayments of $1.8 million. In addition, $7.8
million of equity securities restricted for sale were carried at cost in
1996 due to certain restrictions on the sale of these securities. However,
during the fourth quarter of 1997, the equity securities were reclassified
as available for sale since these restrictions will expire within the next
twelve months. See footnote 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Investment securities held to maturity increased $1.9 million or 4.6%, to
$42.7 million at July 31, 1997 from $40.8 million at July 31, 1996. The
increase was due to net purchases of $8.8 million offset by $7.0 million of
maturities.
Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased $19.3 million, or
15.8%, to $102.2 million at July 31, 1997, from $121.5 million at July 31,
1996. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities resulted from principal
repayments of $19.4 million.
Deposits, after interest credited, increased $16.6 million or 4.7%, to
$370.8 million at July 31, 1997 from $354.2 million at July 31, 1996. Now
accounts and money market deposits increased $9.6 million or 13.7% during
the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997. Of theses accounts, growth occurred
primarily in demand deposits and business accounts due to Management's
concerted efforts in 1997 to increase these accounts. However, there were no
promotional rates offered on these accounts. Savings deposits increased $1.4
million or 1.8% during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997. The average cost
of these deposits remained unchanged at 2.38% for July 31, 1997 and 1996.
Certificates of deposit increased $5.7 million or 2.7% to $215.7 million at
July 31, 1997, compared to $210.0 million at July 31, 1996. The cost of
certificates of deposits increased six (6) basis points to 5.17% at July 31,
1997 from 5.11% at July 31, 1996.
Borrowings increased $8.9 million, or 16.9%, to $61.3 million at July 31,
1997, from $52.4 million at July 31, 1996. The increase included a $19.0
million increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York
("FHLB"), $8.3 million increase in a FHLB line of credit offset by a
decrease of $18.4 million in reverse repurchase agreement borrowings.
Net deferred tax liability increased $6.1 million or 100% at July 31, 1997.
The increase was primarily attributable to the $7.4 million deferred tax
liability related to the unrealized gain on the available for sale
portfolio.
On September 10, 1997, the Company and Westwood Financial Corporation
("Westwood"), the holding company of Westwood Savings Bank ("Westwood
Bank"), Westwood, New Jersey, signed a definitive agreement providing for
the merger of Westwood into the Holding Company and the merger of Westwood
Bank into the Savings Bank. It is anticipated that the transaction will
close by approximately March 1998 and will be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
The common stock of Lakeview Financial Corp. is traded on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol of "LVSB". On October 15, 1997, the Company
paid to all shareholders of record on October 1, 1997 a two for one common
stock split. The information below reflects the two for one stock split.
As a result of continued earnings, there has been a $.0625 per share
dividend since the 3rd fiscal quarter in 1994. On November 13, 1996, the
Company paid a 10% common stock dividend to all shareholders of record on
October 30, 1996. This resulted in the issuance of an additional 497,586
shares of common stock.
The Company's ability to pay dividends to shareholders is dependent upon the
earnings from investments and dividends it receives from the Savings Bank.
Accordingly, restrictions on the Savings Bank ability to pay cash dividends
directly affect the payment of cash dividends by the Company. The Savings
Bank may not declare or pay a dividend if the effect would cause the Savings
Bank's regulatory capital to be reduced below the amount required for the
liquidation account established in connection with the Savings Bank's
conversion from mutual to stock form or the regulatory capital requirements
imposed by the FDIC.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income decreased $234,000 or 3.7%, to $6.1 million at July 31, 1997 from
$6.3 million at July 31, 1996. The decrease in net income was primarily
attributable to the SAIF special assessment before taxes of $2.2 million
offset by increases of $1.1 million in net interest income and $1.1 million
in other income.
Net income remained unchanged at $6.3 million for the years ended July 31,
1996 and 1995.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income is the most significant component
of the Company's income from operations. Net interest income is the
difference between interest received on interest-earning assets (primarily
loans and investment securities) and interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities (primarily deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income
depends on the volume and rate earned on interest-earning assets and the
volume and interest rate paid on interest liabilities.
Net interest income increased $1.1 million or 7.6% to $15.5 million in 1997
compared to $14.4 million in 1996. The increase was primarily due to growth
in average interest-earning assets to $442.8 million in 1997 from $411.3
million in 1996, partially offset by a decrease in the interest rate spread
of 3.15% in 1997 compared to 3.21% in 1996. However, the decline in the
interest rate spread in 1997 did not affect net interest margin. Net
interest margin was 3.51% in 1997 and 1996.
The increase in average interest-earning assets of $31.6 million reflects an
increase in average loans of $37.3 million and average investments and
mortgage-backed securities available for sale of $34.6 million offset by a
decrease in average mortgage- backed securities and investment securities
held to maturity of $40.4 million. The increase in average interest-
earnings assets was partially funded by the increase in average interest-
bearing liabilities of $22.7 million. This increase in interest-bearing
liabilities reflects the increase in borrowings and deposits in 1997.
10
Building Value GRAPHICS OMITTED [CUBE [$]]
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The interest rate spread declined in 1997 compared to 1996 due to a decline
in the yield on average interest earning assets to 7.42% in 1997 from 7.53%
in 1996 offset by a decrease in the cost of average interest- bearing
liabilities to 4.27% in 1997 from 4.32% in 1996.
The yield on average interest-earning assets declined in 1997 due to a
decrease in yields on loans to 8.73% in 1997 from 9.09% in 1996 and
investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale to 5.63% in
1997 from 7.21% in 1996. As general market rates were relatively stable in
1997 and 1996, the decline in the yield of loans reflects the impact of
increased competition for new loan originations. The decline in yield of
investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale was the result
of lower rates of interest and dividends.
The decrease in the cost of funds was affected by a 32 basis point decrease
in the rate paid on borrowings and a 8 basis point decrease paid on money
market and checking accounts.
Net interest income decreased $469,000 or 3.1% to $14.4 million in 1996 from
$14.9 million in 1995. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in
interest-bearing liabilities to $382.9 million in 1996 from $357.4 million
in 1995 coupled with a decrease in the interest rate spread to 3.21% in 1996
from 3.58% in 1995. The decline in the interest rate spread had a
corresponding impact on the net interest margin which declined 35 basis
points to 3.51% in 1996.
The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $25.5 million in
1996 reflects an increase in average savings accounts of $10.2 million and
average borrowings of $15.3 million. The increase in average
interest-earnings assets of $25.7 million was funded by the increase in
average interest-bearing liabilities. This increase in average
interest-earning assets reflects the increase in average loan receivables of
$16.1 million, average investment and mortgage-backed securities available
for sale of $50.7 million offset by a decrease of average mortgage-backed
and investment securities of $41.0 million.
The interest rate spread declined in 1996 compared to 1995 due to an
increase in the cost of average interest bearing-liabilities to 4.32% in
1996 from 3.79% in 1995, offset by an increase in the yield on average
interest-earning assets to 7.53% in 1996 from 7.37% in 1995. The cost of
average interest-bearing liabilities increased in 1996 primarily due to the
higher volume and higher rates paid on savings accounts, offset by the lower
cost of funds on borrowings.
The yield on average interest-earning assets increased in 1996 by 16 basis
points primarily due to the higher rates on new loan originations compared
to the rates on loans repaid and the higher volume coupled with the higher
rates paid on investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale.
Provision for Losses on Loans: The Company recorded a provision for loan
losses of $961,000 in 1997 compared with $664,000 in 1996 and $1.4 million
in 1995. The increase in 1997 was attributable to loan growth and the change
in the mix of the loan portfolio. The decrease in 1996 was attributable to a
$955,000 decrease in the nonperforming loans portfolio and improved market
conditions.
Management regularly performs an analysis to identify the inherent risks of
loss in its loan portfolio. This evaluation includes evaluations of
concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions,
amount and composition of the loan portfolio (including loans being
specifically monitored by management), estimated fair value of underlying
collateral, loan commitments outstanding, delinquencies, and other
information available at such times. Additionally, in July 1997, the Savings
Bank hired a loan workout officer to focus on Management's continued efforts
to reduce the risk of the loan portfolio.
The Savings Bank will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and
make future adjustments to the allowance through the provision for loan
losses as economic conditions dictate. As discussed previously, it is
Management's intention to continue to increase the loan portfolio by
changing the mix of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio - from lower yielding
loans (i.e., one- to four family loans) to higher yielding loans (i.e.,
equity loans, multi-family (five (5) or more units) buildings, and
commercial (non-residential) mortgages. Although the Savings Bank maintains
its allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers to be adequate to
provide for the inherent risk of loss in its loan portfolio, 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
due to the higher degree of credit risk which might result from the change
in the mix of the loan portfolio.
Other Income: Total other income increased $1.1 million or 15.3% to $8.1
million for the year ended July 31, 1997 from $7.0 million for the year
ended July 31, 1996. Realized gains on investments increased $2.0 million to
$4.8 million in 1997 from $2.8 million in 1996. This increase resulted from
the sale of Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), Student Loan
Mortgage Association ("SLMA"), Federal Home Loan
11
[L, F, C CUBES GRAPHICS OMITTED] LAKEVIEW FINANCIAL CORP. 1997 ANNUAL REPORT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and other equity securities during 1997.
Other operating income decreased $1.0 million to $2.1 million in 1997 from
$3.1 million in 1996. This was mainly attributable to a decrease of other
income from Branchview, Inc. of $2.4 million offset by an increase of income
from subsidiary activity of Lakeview Mortgage Depot, Inc. ("LMD") of $1.1
million due to increased lending. In 1995, Branchview sold its majority
interest in Residential Money Center, a residential mortgage company. See
footnote 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Total other income decreased $177,000 or 2.5% to $7.0 million for the year
ended July 31, 1996 from $7.2 million for the year ended July 31, 1995. The
Savings Bank's realized gains on investments increased $662,000 to $2.8
million in 1996 from $2.1 million in 1995. This increase resulted from the
sale of FNMA, SLMA, FHLMC and other equity securities during 1996. Other
operating income decreased $756,000 to $3.1 million in 1996 from $3.9
million in 1995. This was mainly attributed to a decrease of income from the
Branchview, Inc. subsidiary from $2.5 million in 1996 from $3.6 million in
1995.
Other Expenses: Total other expenses increased $2.3 million or 21.0%, to
$13.2 million in 1997 from $10.9 million in 1996. The increase was primarily
the result of a $2.2 million special assessment required to recapitalize the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). On September 30, 1996, the
President signed into law legislation which included the recapitalization of
SAIF by a one time charge to SAIF-insured institutions of 65.7 basis points
per $100 of insurable deposits as of March 31, 1995. Future deposit expense
will be lower as a result of this one-time charge. The legislation also
provides that the Savings Bank will pay, in addition to the normal deposit
insurance premium as a member of the SAIF, an annual amount equal to
approximately 6.4 basis points of outstanding SAIF deposits toward the
retirement of the Financing Corporation Bonds ("Fico Bonds") issued in the
1980's to assist in the recovery of the savings and loan industry. Members
of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), by contrast, will pay, in addition to
their normal deposit insurance premium, approximately 1.3 basis points
toward the retirement of the Fico Bonds. Beginning no later than January 1,
2000, the rate paid to retire the Fico Bonds will be equal for members of
the BIF and the SAIF. The Act also provides for the merging of the BIF and
the SAIF by January 1, 1999 provided there are no financial institutions
still chartered as savings associations at that tin, Should the insurance
funds be merged before January 1, 2000, the rate paid by all members of this
new fund to retire the Fico Bonds would be equal.
Compensation and employee benefits increased $1.1 million or 22.8% to $5.7
in 1997 from $4.6 million in 1996. The increase was mainly attributable to
the amortization of the ESOP of $390,000 due to the increase of the market
value o the Company's stock and $410,000 for the hiring of eleven new staff
persons for the Company's subsidiary, LMD. LMD opened two additional offices
during the year.
Net losses from REO operation decreased $715,000 or 77.64X to $206,000 in
1997 from $921,000 in 1996. The decrease primarily attributed to the
decrease in provisions of REO lot to $44,000 in 1997 from $655,000 in 1996.
Management of the Savings Bank regularly assesses the value of the REO
portfolio based on available information at such times including trends in
local real estate markets and appraisals. Additional provisions for REO
losses may be required as the result of this assessment.
A great deal of information has been disseminated about the global computer
year 2000. Many computer programs that can only distinguish the final two
digits of the year entered common programming practice in earlier years) are
expect to read entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 and compute
payment, interest or delinquency based on the wrong date or are expected to
be unable to compute payment, interest or delinquency. Rapid and accurate
data processing is essential to the operation of the Savings Bank. Date
processing is also essential to most other financial institutions and many
other companies. All of the material data processing the Savings Bank that
could be affected by this problem is provided by a third party service
bureau. The service bureau of the Savings Bank has advised the Savings Bank
that it expects to be year 2000 compliant prior to December 31, 1999.
However, if the service bureau is unable to resolve potential problem in
time, the Savings Bank would likely experience significant data processing
delays, mistakes or failures. These delays, mistakes or failures could have
a significant adverse impact on the financial condition and result operation
of the Savings Bank.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total other expenses increased $176,000 or 1.6%, to $10.9 million in 1996
from $10.7 million in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in employee compensation of $282,000 to $4.6 million in 1996 from
$4.4 million in 1995. The increase was mainly attributed to the increased
staffing of LMD which was formed in October of 1995. Net losses from REO
operation increased $271,000 to $921,000 in 1996 from $650,000 in 1995. The
increase was mainly attributed to an increase in provisions for REO losses
of $152,000 to $654,000 in 1996 from $502,000 in 1995, which was partially
offset by a decrease in other operating expenses of $400,000 in 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Savings Bank's primary sources of funds includes savings deposits, loan
repayments and prepayments, cash flow from operations and borrowings from
the FHLB. The Savings Bank uses its capital resources principally to fund
loan origination and purchases, repay maturing borrowings and for
investments, and for short and long-term liquidity needs. The Savings Bank
expects to be able to fund or refinance, on a timely basis, its commitments
and long-term liabilities. As of July 31, 1997, the Savings Bank had
commitments to fund loans of $6,104,000.
The Savings Bank's liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, which
include investments in highly short-term investments. The level of these
assets are dependent on the Savings Bank's operating, financing and
investment activities during any given period. At July 31, 1997, cash and
cash equivalents totaled $5.4 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 1997 totaled $3.6
million, as compared to $2.7 million for fiscal 1996. Net cash provided by
operating activities for fiscal 1996 totaled $2.7 million, as compared to
$10.2 million for fiscal 1995.
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 1997 totaled $23.3 million,
a decrease from fiscal 1996 of $17.5 million. The decrease was primarily
attributable to an increase in 1996 of net purchases of investment and
mortgage-backed securities of $20.0 million, offset by cash used for net
loan originations and purchases of loans of $42.2 million and investment in
FHLB stock of $1.0 million, and net proceeds from the sale of investment and
mortgage-backed securities of $40.0 million.
Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 1996 totaled $40.8 million,
an increase from fiscal 1995 of $41.3 million. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in 1995 of $9.5 million in net proceeds from the
sale of available for sale investment securities, cash used for net loan
originations and purchases of loans of $12.0 million and net purchases of
investment and mortgage-backed securities of $20.0 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended July 31, 1997
totaled $18.7 million. This is a result of a net increase in deposits of
$16.5 million and an increase in net borrowings of $8.9 million, offset by
the purchase of treasury stock of $6.7 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 1996 totaled $36.9
million. This is a result of a net increase in deposits of $10.8 million,
and an increase in net borrowings of $34.9 million offset by the purchase of
treasury stock of $6.7 million and ESOP shares of $1.6 million.
Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows,
excessive interest rates paid by competitors, adverse publicity relating to
the savings and loan industry, and similar matters. Management monitors
projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable, based in part
on the Savings Bank's commitment to make loans and management's assessment
of the Savings Bank's ability to generate funds. The Savings Bank is also
subject to federal regulations that impose certain minimum capital
requirements.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all the assets of the
Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater
impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of

Lakeview Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 1996 and 1997
Note 1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following items comprise the significant accounting policies which
Lakeview Financial Corp. and subsidiaries (the Bank) followed in preparing
and presenting these consolidated financial statements:
Business:
The Bank provides a full range of retail banking services through its
branches in Passaic and Bergen Counties, New Jersey. The Bank is subject to
competition from other financial institutions. The Bank is subject to the
regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergoes periodic
examinations by those regulatory agencies. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the
consolidated balance sheets, and revenues and expenses for the years then
ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and
assumptions.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan
losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with
foreclosures or in settlement of loans. It is management's judgment that the
allowance for loan and real estate losses are adequate to provide for
potential loan and real estate losses.
Principles of Consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Lakeview Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Lakeview Savings
Bank (LSB), LVS, Inc. (LVS), Lakeview Investment Services Inc. (LISI),
Branchview, Inc. (Branchview), Lakeview Credit Card Services, Inc. (LCCS),
and Lakeview Mortgage Depot, Inc. (LMD).
On August 25, 1994, LSB completed a reorganization into a holding company
form of ownership, and LSB became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lakeview
Financial Corp. The stockholders of LSB exchanged their shares of LSB for
the same number of shares of Lakeview Financial Corp.
Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities:
The Bank classifies debt, readily-marketable equity and mortgage-backed
securities in one of the following categories (i) "held-to-maturity"
(management has a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity) which are
to be reported at amortized cost; (ii) "trading" (held for current resale)
which are to be reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
included in earnings and (iii) "available-for-sale (all other debt, readily
marketable equity and mortgage-backed securities) which are to be reported
at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and
reported, net of income tax, as a separate component of equity.
In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
"Special Report - "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt Equity Securities," within which there was
offered transition guidance permitting an enterprise to reassess the
appropriateness of the classifications of all of its securities before
December 31, 1995. The Bank reassessed its classifications, and on December
31, 1995, transferred $112.6 million in amortized cost of investment and
mortgage-backed securities to the available for sale classification. The
related net unrealized gain after tax effect as of the date of transfer was
$157,000
Premiums and discounts on debt and mortgage-backed securities are amortized
to expense and accreted to income over the estimated life of the respective
security using a method that approximates the level yield method.
Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are based upon
the amortized cost of the security using the specific identification method.
Office Properties and Equipment:
Premises, furniture and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization charges are
computed using the straight-line method. Premises, furniture and equipment
are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the assets, except for
leasehold improvements, which are amortized over the term of the lease or
the estimated useful life of the asset, if shorter. Estimated useful lives
are ten to forty years for premises, and three to ten years for furniture
and equipment.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The costs
of major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Premises and major items
of furniture and equipment are removed from the property accounts upon
disposition at their carrying amount, and gains or losses on such
transactions are included in other non-interest income or expense.
Income Taxes:
The Bank accounts for income taxes through recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under
this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of
20

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in
which the differences are expected to be settled (see note 14).
Loans:
Loans are stated at principal amounts outstanding, net of unearned discount
and net deferred loan origination fees and costs. Interest income on loans
is accrued and credited to interest income as earned.
Certain direct costs associated with the loan origination process are netted
against origination fees received, with the net resulting amount accreted
over the estimated lives of the loan using the level-yield method as an
adjustment to the loan's yield.
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when a loan becomes more
than 90 days past due or it appears that interest is uncollectible.
Previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed when a loan is placed on
nonaccrual status. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only in
the period in which it is ultimately collected. After principal and interest
payments have been brought current and future collectibility is reasonably
assured, loans are returned to accrual status.
The Bank accounts for impaired loans in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114") and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures".
The Bank defines the population of impaired loans to be all non-accrual
commercial real estate, multi-family and land loans. Impaired loans are
individually assessed to determine that the loan's carrying value is not in
excess of the fair value of the collateral or the present value of the
loan's expected future cash flows. Smaller balance homogeneous loans that
are collectively evaluated for impairment, such as residential mortgage
loans and installment loans, are specifically excluded from the impaired
loan portfolio.
Real Estate Owned:
Real estate owned, acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure, is carried at the lower of estimated fair value less estimated
disposition costs or the balance of the loan on the property at date of
acquisition. Costs relating to the development and improvement of property
are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding property are charged to
expense. Losses are charged to operations as incurred or when it is
determined that the investment in real estate owned is greater than its
estimated net realizable value.
Allowances For Losses On Loans And Real Estate Owned:
The allowances for losses on loans and real estate owned are based on
management's evaluations of the adequacy of the allowances based on the
Bank's past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay,
estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic
conditions. Additions are made to the allowances through periodic provisions
which are charged to earnings. All losses of principal are charged to the
allowances when the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made
that a loss is probable. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are added back to
the allowances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand and in banks.
Earnings Per Share:
Income per common share is calculated by dividing net income, by the average
number of shares of common stock and average number of common stock
equivalents outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the year ended July 31, 1997 used in the earnings
per share calculation was 5,071,444. As shares from the Bank's ESOP are
released from collateral, they become outstanding for earnings per share
computations. Per share data has been adjusted to reflect the 10% stock
dividends paid during 1995, 1996 and 1997. On September 4, 1997, Lakeview
Financial Corp. declared a two for one stock split payable on October 15,
1997, to stockholders of record as of October 1, 1997. Share data has been
adjusted to reflect the stock split.
Reclassifications:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1996 amounts to
conform to the 1997 presentation.
Note 2
Conversion from Mutual to Stock Form of Ownership:
On December 22, 1993, the Bank completed its conversion from a state
chartered mutual savings bank to a state chartered stock savings bank. The
Bank issued 2,420,000 shares at $10 per share for a total of $24,200,000.
The net proceeds of the stock offering, after reflecting offering expenses
of $880,626, were $23,319,374. The proceeds were added to the Bank's general
funds to be used for general corporate purposes.

As part of the reorganization to the stock form of ownership, the Lakeview
Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) purchased 110,000 shares
of the Bank's common stock at $10 per share, or $1,100,000, which was funded
by a loan from an unaffiliated lender. The Bank intends to make
discretionary cash contributions to the ESOP sufficient to service the
amount borrowed. Additionally, the Lakeview Savings Bank Management Stock
Bonus Plan (MSBP) purchased 220,000 shares at $10 per share totaling
$2,200,000. The funds used to acquire the MSBP shares were contributed by
the Bank. The Bank has allocated 66% of the shares to directors officers and
other key employees of the Bank (see note 16j.

Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired, Net:
On April 22, 1994, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Prospect Park Federal Savings Bank, a failed savings bank,
from the Resolution Trust Corporation. The excess of cost over the fair
value of the asset and liabilities acquired amounted to $12,430,000 and is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. Total amortization
charged to date amounts to $4,110,000 at July 31 1997. The Bank also has a
core deposit premium of $536,136 from a prior acquisition which is being
amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years, which has total
amortization charged to date of $548,237, at July 31, 1997.

Note 7 Investments Held By Subsidiary
On February 6, 1995, Branchview Inc., a subsidiary of the Savings Bank sold
a majority of the assets of Residential Money Centers ("RMC"), a residential
mortgage company which originates and sells mortgages in the secondary
market, to an unrelated third party for a gain of $3.8 million, of which
$3.4 million was recorded as a gain in 1995 and is reflected in other
operating income. In July 1995, Branchview purchased the remaining
partnership interest of RMC, for $1.5 million, and became the sole owner of
RMC. RMC owns a 9.09% limited partnership interest in Industry Mortgage
Company, L.P. ("IMC").
IMC is a specialized consumer finance company engaged in purchasing,
originating, servicing and selling home equity loans secured primarily by
first liens on one-to-four family residential properties.
On June 25, 1996, IMC completed a reorganization plan whereby the limited
partners received restricted common stock in exchange for their partnership
interest in connection with a public offering of unrestricted common stock.
Immediately prior to the reorganization, Branchview purchased a limited
partner's half share interest in IMC for $4,778,000. As a result of the
reorganization, Branchview received 830,928 shares of restricted common
stock in exchange for its limited partnership interest. The offering price
of the common stock was $18.00 per share.
As of July 31, 1996, the carrying value of Branchview's investment in IMC
was $7,806,000 represented by the 830,928 shares of restricted common stock
of IMC. Although the investment in IMC is represented by equity securities,
it is carried at cost because the restriction period at July 31, 1996 was in
excess of one year. The market value of such investment at July 31, 1996,
based on the quoted market price per share of the unrestricted common stock
was $19.9 million. Included in other income in 1996 is approximately $2.3
million representing the Bank's share of partnership earnings in IMC prior
to its reorganization.
On February 13, 1997, IMC paid a 2 for 1 stock dividend raising Branchview's
share total to 1,661,856 shares at July 31, 1997, with a current price of
$18 per share for a total market value of $29,913,408. On April 23, 1997,
IMC completed a secondary offering of which Branchview purchased no
additional shares of their stock. However, during the year Lakeview
purchased an additional 40,000 shares of IMC stock for $585,600. The
underwriters of the secondary public offering requested a lock up period
which stated that no restricted shareholders may dispose of any shares under
SEC Rule 144 for 90 days following the closing date of the offering. No
restricted shareholder is permitted to dispose of more than 8% of that
shareholder's holdings of common stock in any calendar month, essentially
eliminating restrictions on the sale of stock beyond one year. As a result
of the change in the restriction, at July 31, 1997, Lakeview transferred the
IMC shares of stock with a cost of $8,391,958 into the Investment Securities
Available for Sale category at a market value of $30,633,408, resulting in
an unrealized gain net of tax, of $14,319,872, which is included in
stockholders' equity.
On January 12, 1996, Lakeview granted a line of credit to IMC for $7 million
with an interest rate of 10%. As of July 31, 1997, $6.8 million was
outstanding. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997, interest income on
this line of credit amounted to $269,444.

For the years ended July 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, additional interest income
before taxes amounting to approximately $234,000, $201,000, and $256,000,
respectively, would have been recognized if interest on non-accrual loans
had been recorded based on original terms. The Bank had $645,184 and
$650,172 of impaired loans at July 31, 1996, and 1997 as defined by SPAS 114
and SPAS 118.
The Bank uses the same credit policies and collateral requirements in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
loans. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since the commitments may expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained,
if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on
management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but
primarily includes residential properties. Outstanding loan commitments,
primarily fixed-rate loans, at July 31, 1996 and 1997 amounted to
$13,295,000 and $6,104,000, respectively.

If certain conditions were met, under tax law that existed prior to 1996,
thrift institutions, in determining taxable income, were allowed a special
bad debt deduction based on a percentage of taxable income before such
deduction. The Bank prepares and files its tax return on a calendar year
basis. The Bank used the experience method in preparing the Federal income
tax return for calendar year 1995 and 1994. The tax bad debt reserve method
was repealed for tax
29
[L, F, C CUBES GRAPHICS OMITTED] LAKEVIEW FINANCIAL CORP. 1997 ANNUAL REPORT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
years beginning after 1995. As a result, the Bank may no longer use the
percentage of taxable income reserve method. A small thrift (one with $500
million or less in assets) is allowed to use either the specific charge-off
method or the "bank" experience method of Section 585 of the Internal
Revenue Code to compute its bad debt deduction.
Upon repeal, the Bank is generally required to recapture into income the
portion of its bad debt reserve (other than supplemental reserves) that
exceeds its base year (December 31, 1987) reserves. The recapture amount
generally will be taken into income ratably (on a straight-line basis) over
a six-year period. If the Bank meets the residential loan requirement for a
tax year beginning in 1996 or 1997, the recapture of the reserves will be
suspended for such tax year. Thus, the recapture can potentially be deferred
for up to two years.
The Bank has not recognized a deferred tax liability of approximately
$1,246,000 for bad debt reserves for tax purposes which arose in tax years
beginning before December 31, 1987 (i.e., base year). A deferred tax
liability will be recognized if the Bank expects that charges to the bad
debt reserves, other than the losses on loans or recomputations of bad debt
deductions resulting from operating loss carrybacks to prior years, would
result in taxable income. The Bank does not anticipate any such recognition
in the foreseeable future.
A reconciliation of expected income tax expense (computed by multiplying the
U.S. Federal corporate income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes)
and total income tax expense for the years ended July 31, 1995, 1996 and
1997 is as follows:
1995 1996 1997

Management believes, based upon current facts, that it is more likely than
not that there will be sufficient taxable income in future years to realize
the deferred tax assets. However there can be no assurance about the levels
of future earnings.

The assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets was 7.25% in fiscal 1996
and 1997, and the assumed rate of increase in future compensation levels was
5.5% in fiscal 1996 and 1997.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP")
During fiscal year 1996, the Bank implemented a Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan ("SERP"), which provides a post-employment supplemental
retirement benefit to the participant's Pension Plans Annual Benefit. The
SERP is not a tax-qualified employee benefit plan. The SERP expense was

Stock Benefit Plans
Stock Option Plan:
At July 31, 1997, the company has a stock-based compensation plan, which is
described below. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its plan. Accordingly, no compensation
cost is recognized for its fixed stock option plan. Had compensation cost
for the Company's fixed stock option plan been determined consistent with
SPAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have
been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except
per share amounts):
1996 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Income..............................As reported.................. $ 6,274 $6,061
Pro forma.................... 5,951 5,941

Pro forma.................... 1.07 1.17
Fully diluted earnings per share........As reported.................. 1.13 1.20
Pro forma.................... 1.07 1.17
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1997, respectively; dividend yield
of 0.75 percent for all years; expected volatility of 20 percent; risk-free
interest rates of 5.48 percent and 6.34 percent. The effects of applying
SPAS 123 on the pro forma net income may not be representative of the effect
on the pro forma income for future years.
The Bank adopted a stock option and incentive plan (Option Plan). Pursuant
to the Option Plan, stock options of 959,948 common shares, adjusted for
stock dividends and stock split may be granted to directors and officers of
the Bank. Options granted under the Option Plan may be either options that
qualify as Incentive Stock Options as defined in Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), as amended, or options that do not qualify.
Exercise prices of the options range from $7.28 to $14.75 per share. All
options have been adjusted to reflect stock dividends and stock split. At
July 31, 1997, 959,948 granted qualified stock options were outstanding, and
none of the stock options granted were exercised during this period.
A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as of July 31,

Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
The Bank established an ESOP for the benefit of employees who meet the
eligibility requirements which include having completed one year of service
with the Bank and having attained age 21. The ESOP Trust purchased 110,000
shares of common stock in the Bank's initial public offering with proceeds
from a loan from an unaffiliated lender. On July 31, 1996 the ESOP Trust
purchased an additional 84,744 shares for $1,615,985. During the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1997, the ESOP Trust purchased an additional 15,000 shares
for $446,881.
The Bank makes cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient
to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the unaffiliated
lender. Dividends declared on ESOP shares are used to purchase additional
common shares of the Bank, for inclusion in the Plan, as Plan assets.
The ESOP loan is a reverse repurchase agreement, with interest payable
monthly and principal payable equal to the shares allocated.
As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to
qualified employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the
year. The Bank accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of
Position 93-6. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as
deferred ESOP shares in the statement of financial position. As shares are
released from collateral, the Bank reports compensation expense equal to the
current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for
earnings per share computations.
Management Stock Bonus Plans:
The Bank adopted an MSBP for directors and management to enable the Bank to
attract and retain experienced and capable personnel in key positions of
responsibility. A total of 220,000 shares of restricted stock were purchased
on December 22, 1993, the conversion date. Allocated restricted stock is
payable over a five-year vesting period, at 20% per year, beginning in the
year of the award. The MSBP shares purchased in the conversion initially
were recorded as a contra equity account excluded from stock-
holders'equity. The Bank recognizes compensation expense in the amount of
the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date, pro rata over
the years during which the shares are payable and recorded as an addition to
stockholders' equity. Compensation expense attributable to the MSBPs
amounted to $305,800, $319,522 and $290,400 in 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively. The shares are entitled to all voting and other stockholder
rights, except that the shares, while restricted, cannot be sold, pledged or
otherwise disposed of, and are required to be held in escrow.
If a holder of restricted stock under the MSBP terminates employment for
reasons other than death, disability, or retirement following five years of
service or change of control in the Bank, such employee forfeits all rights
to any allocated shares which are still restricted. If termination is caused
by death, disability, retirement or change in control of the Bank, all
allocated shares become unrestricted.

Note 18
Regulatory Matters
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional
discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings,
and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios. Total and Tier I
capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as
defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
Management believes, as of July 31, 1997, that the Bank meets all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of July 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There
are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes
have changed the institution's category.
The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the

Note 20
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" (SEAS 107), requires disclosures of information about the fair
value of all financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument
is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or
liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time
based on relevant market information and information about the financial
instrument. Such estimates do not include any premium or discount that could
result from offering for sale at one time the Bank's entire holdings of a
particular financial instrument. Because no market value exists for a
significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are
based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current
economic conditions risk characteristics of various financial instruments,
and other assumptions, many of which involve circumstances outside the
control of management. Because of the uncertainties surrounding these
factors and assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only
and, therefore, cannot be compared to the historical accounting model.
Changes in assumptions or methodologies could significantly affect the
estimates of fair value.
Fair value estimates presented are based on financial instruments both on-
and off-balance-sheet, and no attempt has been made to estimate the value of
anticipated future business, and the value of assets and liabilities that
are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax consequences
related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a
potential effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any
of the estimates. The fair value information supplements the basic financial
statements and other traditional financial data presented throughout the
financial statements, and the aggregate fair value of financial instruments
presented does not represent the underlying value of the Bank taken as a
whole and should not be compared with the fair value of other financial
institutions, which may differ depending on the assumptions used and the
valuation techniques employed.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of significant financial instruments at July 31, 1996 and 1997:
Financial Assets:
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is considered to
approximate fair value. The fair values of securities held for sale and
investment securities are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of
loans represents the present value of the estimated future cash flows
discounted at estimates of market interest rates adjusted for criteria
discussed above. Fair value of significant nonperforming loans is generally
based on the estimated cash flows which are discounted employing a rate that
incorporates the risk associated with such cash flows. The fair value of the
FHLB stock is the same as its carrying value.
Financial Liabilities:
The carrying amounts of deposit liabilities payable on demand are considered
to approximate fair value. The fair value of fixed maturity deposits was
estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using rates currently
offered for deposit products with similar maturities. Long term borrowing
fair values are discounted using rates available on borrowings with similar
terms and maturities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
("SFAS 128") establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. SFAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS
with a presentation of basic EPS and requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator
and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128 is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997,
including interim periods; earlier application is not permitted and requires
restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. If the Bank had adopted
SFAS 128 basic EPS would have been $1.00, $1.13, and $1.20 for 1995, 1996,
and 1997, respectively. Dilluted EPS would have been the same as the
earnings per share reported.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130") establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses,
gains, and losses) in a full set of general - purpose financial statements.
SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. SFAS 130 does not require a specific format for that
financial statement but requires that an enterprise display an amount
representing total comprehensive income for the period in that financial
statement. SFAS 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b)
display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
from retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the equity section
of a statement of financial position. SFAS 130 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements
for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required.
Management has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on its
reporting of operations.
Note 22
Savings Association Insurance Fund "SAIF' Recapitalization Assessment
On September 30, 1996, the President signed into law the Deposit Insurance
Funds Act of 1996 (the "Funds Act") which, among other things, imposes a
special one-time assessment on SAIF member institutions, including the Bank,
to recapitalize the SAIF. As required by the Funds Act, the FDIC imposed a
special assessment of 65.7 basis points on SAIF assessable deposits held as
of March 31, 1995, payable November 27, 1996. The special assessment was
recognized as an expense on September 30, 1996 and is tax deductible. The
Bank incurred a pre tax charge of $2.2 million in 1997 as a result of the
FDIC special assessment.
The Funds Act also spreads the obligations for payment of the Financing
Corporation ("FICO") bonds across all SAIF and BIF members. Beginning
January 1, 1997, BIF deposits will be assessed for FICO payments at a rate
of 20% of the rate assessed on SAIF deposits. BIF deposits will be assessed
a FICO payment of 1.3 basis points, while SAIF deposits will pay an
estimated 6.5 basis points on the FICO bonds. Full pro rata sharing of the
FICO payments between BIF and SAIF will be merged on January 1, 1999
provided no savings associations remain as of that time.
As a result of the Funds Act, and recently passed legislation, SAIF
assessments were lowered to 0 to 27 basis points effective January 1, 1997,
a range comparable to that of BIF members. However, SAIF members will
continue to make the higher FICO payments described above. Management cannot
predict the level of FDIC insurance on whether the SAIF will eventually be
merged. The Bank paid $375,529, $794,011 and $581,768 in Federal deposit
insurance premiums for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.
Note 23
Subsequent Event
On September 10, 1997, Lakeview signed a definitive agreement providing for
the merger of Lakeview and Westwood Corporation ("Westwood"), the holding
company of Westwood Savings Bank, a New Jersey Savings Bank with total
assets of $111 million located in Westwood New Jersey, into Lakeview.
Lakeview will acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Westwood. Shares of
Westwood Common Stock will be exchanged for $29.25, payable in the aggregate
in the form of 50% cash and 50% Lakeview Common Stock. The number of shares
of Lakeview Common Stock to be exchanged for Westwood Common Stock will be
determined based upon the average market price of Lakeview Common Stock
during the 15 trading days one week prior to the closing date. The
transaction is subject to certain contingencies including satisfaction of
State and Federal regulatory approvals, approval by the shareholders of
Westwood and receipt of a fairness opinion by Westwood. It is anticipated
that the transaction will occur in the first calendar quarter of 1998. The
transaction is expected to be accounted for under the purchase method.
Note 24
Parent Company Only
At fiscal year end 1997, Lakeview Financial Corp. (Parent only), which was
formed in August 1994, had three subsidiaries: Lakeview Savings Bank,
Branchview, Inc., and Lakeview Mortgage Depot, Inc. The earnings of the
subsidiaries are recognized by the Parent company using the equity method of
accounting. Accordingly, earnings of the subsidiaries are recorded as
increases in the Parent Company's investment in the subsidiaries and
dividends paid reduce the Parent company's investment in the subsidiaries.
The following information should be read in conjunction with other Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Independent Auditors' Report
[KPMG LOGO] KPMG Peat Marwick LLP
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Lakeview Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries
Paterson, New Jersey:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lakeview
Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 1996 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 1997.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lakeview
Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 1996 and 1997, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended July 31, 1997 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
