been prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete
financial  statements.  In the opinion of management all necessary  adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring  accruals  necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.  The results of operations for the three-month  period ended

Note 2 -  Organization  of the Holding  Company and  conversion to stock form of
          ownership
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Wayne  Bancorp,  Inc.  was  organized  for the purpose of  acquiring  all of the
capital  stock of the Bank that was issued in the  conversion  from a  federally
chartered  mutual  savings bank to a stock  savings  bank  pursuant to a Plan of
Conversion  (Conversion) via the issuance of common stock. On June 27, 1996, the
Company completed an initial public offering.  The offering resulted in the sale
of  2,231,383  shares of common stock  which,  after  giving  effect to offering
expenses of $1.3 million and 178,511  shares  issued to the Bank's tax qualified
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), resulted in net proceeds of $21.0 million.
Pursuant to the Conversion,  the Bank transferred all of its outstanding  shares
to the Company. The Bank may not declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase any
of its shares of common  stock if the effect of these would  cause  equity to be
reduced below applicable regulatory capital maintenance  requirements or if such
declaration and payment would otherwise violate regulatory requirements.

Note 3 - Earnings per share
         ------------------

For  purposes of  calculating  basic  earnings per share,  the weighted  average
number of common  shares,  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998 and 1997 was
1,803,725 and 1,994,865,  respectively. Diluted weighted average shares included
common  stock  equivalents  of 20,309 and  112,710  at March 31,  1998 and 1997,
respectively.  The diluted  weighted  average number of common  shares,  for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was 1,824,034 and 1,882,164, respectively.

Note 4 - Comprehensive income
         --------------------

During  the first  quarter  of 1998,  the  Company  adopted  the  provisions  of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income" ("SFAS 130").  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.  This Statement
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.  This  Statement  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.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 130
for interim period reporting,  the Company's total comprehensive  income for the
three  months  ended  March 31, 1998 and 1997 was  $405,000  and  $101,000.  The
difference between the Company's net income and total  comprehensive  income for
these periods  relates to the change in the net  unrealized  gains on securities
available for sale during the applicable period of time.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Financial condition
- -------------------

General
- -------

Wayne  Bancorp,  Inc. is the holding  company for Wayne Savings Bank,  F.S.B.  a
federally  chartered  stock savings bank.  The Bank converted from a mutual to a
stock  savings  bank on June 27, 1996 in  conjunction  with the  issuance of the
Bank's  capital  stock to the Company.  The Company also owns all of the capital
stock of Wayne Ventures, Inc.

Assets
- ------

Total assets  increased $2.0 million or 0.7% to $272.0 million at March 31, 1998
from  $270.0  million at  December  31, 1997 due  primarily  to an $8.3  million
increase in loans  receivable,  net from $178.9  million at December 31, 1997 to
$187.2  million at March 31,  1998.  Such  increase  was  partially  offset by a
decrease in cash and cash  equivalents  of $1.4 million or 21.0% to $5.4 million
at March 31,  1998 from $6.8  million at December  31,  1997.  The Company  also
experienced  a decrease  of $5.3  million in  securities  held to  maturity  and
securities  available for sale, which was the result of principal repayments and
prepayments.  Also  contributing to this decrease was the call of a $2.5 million
available for sale security in the quarter ended March 31, 1998.

Loan originations during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 totalled $22.7 million
(comprised of $6.0 million of residential  one-to  four-family  mortgage  loans,
$5.6 million of home equity loans, $5.9 million of commercial real estate loans,
$1.1  million of  multi-family  loans,  $1.5  million of  investment  in a joint
venture,  $935,000 of construction  loans,  $1.6 million of commercial  business

                                       7


loans and $73,000 of consumer  loans.) The  Company's  newly formed  subsidiary,
Wayne  Ventures,  Inc.,  entered into a joint venture to construct and market 14
single  family  homes in the  Township of Wayne,  New  Jersey.  During the first
quarter of 1998,  principal  repayments and  prepayments on loans totalled $14.9
million.  During the same  quarter of 1997,  loan  originations  totalled  $12.4
million and principal repayments and prepayments totalled $4.7 million.

Liabilities
- -----------

Deposits  increased by $5.1 million between December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998
due to  interest  credited  of $2.1  million,  and an  excess of  deposits  over
withdrawals of $3.0 million.

Other  liabilities  decreased  $3.6 million and is  primarily  the result of the
payment, in January 1998, for the purchase of a $4.0 million Federal Farm Credit
Banks note, at a rate of 6.1%, that was recorded in December 1997.


Non performing loans and allowance for loan losses
- --------------------------------------------------

Asset/liability management
- --------------------------

Management's  strategy  has been to operate as a  community  oriented  financial
institution by offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the
communities  it  serves  while  maintaining  capital  in  excess  of  regulatory
requirements  and  monitoring  the  sensitivity  of  the  Company's  assets  and
liabilities to interest rate fluctuations.  The Board of Directors has sought to
accomplish  these goals by: (i) attracting and maintaining  low-cost savings and
transaction  accounts,  as well  as  money  market  accounts,  which  management
believes  provide the Company with a stable  source of funds;  (ii) focusing its
lending on the  origination of one- to four-family,  owner-occupied  residential
mortgage loans,  including home equity loans;  (iii)  supplementing  its one- to
four-family residential lending activities with commercial business,  commercial
real estate,  multi-family,  construction  and consumer  loans and most recently
entering  into  a  single  joint  venture,  in  accordance  with  the  Company's
underwriting guidelines;  (iv) purchasing  short-to-intermediate term investment
and  mortgage-backed  securities to complement the Company's lending activities;
(v)  emphasizing  shorter-term  loans and investments and adjustable rate assets
when market conditions permit; and (vi) controlling growth.

As part of  management's  review of its  assets  and  liabilities,  the  Company
considers the interest  sensitivity  of its assets and  liabilities  and targets
what it  believes  to be an  acceptable  level of risk  based  on the  Company's
business focus, operating environment,  capital and liquidity requirements,  and
performance  objectives.  Management  seeks to reduce the  vulnerability  of the
Company's operating results to changes in interest rates and to manage the ratio
of interest rate sensitive assets to interest rate sensitive  liabilities within
specified maturities or repricing periods. The Company does not currently engage
in trading activities or use off-balance sheet derivative instruments to control
interest rate risk. Even though trading  activities or use of off-balance  sheet
derivative  instruments  may be  permitted  with the  approval  of the  Board of
Directors,  management  does not  intend  to engage  in such  activities  in the
immediate future.

In managing the Company's assets and liabilities,  the Company has taken certain
actions  to  decrease  the   sensitivity  of  its  assets  and   liabilities  to
fluctuations  in  interest  rates.  A  significant  component  of the  Company's
operating  strategy has been to maintain its interest rate spread by maintaining
a core deposit base. The Company has sought to maintain and attract new deposits
by pricing  its  deposits  competitively,  but  generally  not among the highest
interest rates in its market area, and relying on personalized  customer service
and advertising.  The Company maintains a core deposit base while employing this
strategy.

At March 31, 1998,  total interest-  bearing  liabilities  maturing or repricing
within one year exceeded total  interest-  earning assets  maturing or repricing
within  the same  period by $30.6  million,  representing  a  one-year  negative
cumulative gap of 10.3%.

Liquidity and capital
- ---------------------


                                       9



The Bank is required to maintain  minimum  levels of liquid assets as defined by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")  regulations.  This requirement,  which
may be varied by the OTS depending on economic  conditions and deposit flows, is
based on a percentage of withdrawable  deposits and short-term  borrowings.  The
minimum  required  liquidity ratio is currently 4.0%. The Bank's liquidity ratio
was 37.9% at March 31, 1998 compared with 40.2% at December 31, 1997.

The  Company's  primary  sources of funds are  deposits,  principal and interest
payments  on loans  and  securities  and,  to a lesser  extent,  borrowings  and
proceeds from the sale of securities  available for sale.  While  maturities and
scheduled  amortization  of loans and  securities  provide an  indication of the
timing of the receipt of funds,  other sources of funds such as loan prepayments
and deposit inflows are less predictable  because they are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and regulatory changes.

The Company's  most liquid assets are cash and cash  equivalents,  which include
interest-bearing  deposits and  short-term  highly liquid  investments  (such as
federal  funds)  with  original  maturities  of less than three  months that are
readily  convertible  to known  amounts  of cash.  The level of these  assets is
dependent on the Company's operating,  financing and investing activities during
any given  period.  At March  31,  1998 and  December  31,  1997,  cash and cash
equivalents totaled $5.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

The Company and the Bank have other sources of liquidity that include investment
securities  maturing within one year, and securities  available for sale.  Other
sources  of  funds  include  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank of New  York  ("FHLB-NY")
advances,  which at March 31, 1998,  totalled $32.0 million. If needed, the Bank
may borrow an additional $49.6 million from the FHLB-NY.

At March  31,  1998,  the  Company  had  outstanding  commitments  to fund  loan
originations of $8.5 million.  There were no commitments to purchase  securities
or mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 1998.





As of March 31, 1998, the Bank exceeded all regulatory  capital  requirements as
detailed in the following table:

Comparison  of  Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and
1997

General The Company  reported  net income of $395,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998  compared  with net income of $504,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997.  The decrease in net income was  primarily  attributable  to the
increase in compensation and employee  benefits of $234,000 offset by a $112,000
increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses.

Interest income Interest income increased $394,000,  or 8.9% to $4.8 million for
the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 from $4.4  million for the three  months
ended  March  31,  1997.  The  increase  was  primarily  the  result  of  higher
outstanding average balances on interest earning assets.

Interest income on loans receivable,  net increased  $622,000,  or 21.5% to $3.5
million for the three  months  ended March 31,  1998,  from $2.9 million for the
comparable  three month  period in 1997  primarily as a result of an increase in
average balance of loans of $33.7 million, partially offset by a slight decrease
in the  average  yield to 7.59% for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 from
7.61% for the comparable three month period in 1997. The increase in the average
balance  of  loans  between  the  periods  was  due  to  the  increase  in  loan
originations of $22.7 million for the first quarter of 1998 versus $12.4 million
for the comparable 1997 quarter.

Interest income on securities  available for sale decreased  $203,000 during the
first quarter of 1998 as a result of a decrease in average  outstanding  balance
of $9.2 million in the available for sale portfolio.  The average balance of the
available for sale portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $71.6
million  compared  with $80.8  million for the  comparable  period in 1997.  The
decline  in the  available  for sale  portfolio  is the  result of  management's
decision to use cash flows from the investment portfolio to fund loan growth. In
addition,  the yield on the  available  for sale  portfolio  decreased  23 basis
points to 6.83% for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998 from 7.06% in the prior
period.

Interest expense Interest expense increased  $329,000,  or 14.6% to $2.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.

Interest on deposits  increased  $244,000,  to $2.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from $1.8  million for the  comparable  three  months ended
March 31,  1997.  The  increase  in interest  expense on deposits  was due to an
increase  in the average  balance of $21.2  million as well as an increase of 11
basis  points in the cost of deposits to 4.13% for the three  months ended March
31, 1998 from 4.02% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

Net  interest  income Net  interest  income  before  provision  for loan  losses
increased $65,000 to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
increase reflects an increase in the average balances of loans  receivable,  net
of $33.7  million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 over the  comparable
prior year period,  offset by a $9.2 million decrease in the average balances of
securities available for sale for the three months ended March 31, 1998 over the
comparable  period  in 1997.  Offsetting  this net  increase  in  assets  was an
increase in the average  balance of deposits of

                                       11


$21.2 million and an increase in the average balance of advances of $5.4 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared with the same period in 1997.

Provision for loan losses The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based
on the  Company's  past loan 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.
The Company  provided  $70,000 for loan losses for the three  months ended March
31, 1998 compared with $125,000 for the  comparable  three month period in 1997,
which was due to management's  continuing reassessment of losses inherent in the
loan  portfolio.  Management  believes  that the  allowance  for loan  losses is
adequate.  While  management uses available  information to recognize  losses on
loans,  future  additions to the allowance may be necessary  based on changes in
economic  conditions  in  the  Company's  market  area.  In  addition,   various
regulatory  agencies,  as an integral part of their routine examination process,
periodically  review the Company's  allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require the  Company to  recognize  additions  to the  allowance  based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Other  income  Total other  income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$175,000  compared with $183,000 for the comparable  three month period in 1997.
The decrease is due to the $50,000 gain on sales of real estate owned recognized
during the quarter  ended March 31,  1997 offset by  increases  in loan fees and
service charges and in other income for the three months ended March 31, 1998.

Other expenses Other expenses  increased  $308,000 or 22.1% for the three months
ended  March 31,  1998 to $1.7  million  from $1.4  million  for the  comparable
three-month  period in 1997. The increase is primarily the result an increase of
$234,000 in  compensation  and  employee  benefits  expense,  and an increase in
Federal insurance premiums of $24,000.

The  increase in  compensation  and employee  benefits  expense is the result of
opening a branch  office in  Fairfield,  N. J., in the  second  quarter of 1997,
normal  annual  merit  increases  and costs  related  to loan  production.  Also
contributing  to the  increase was the final  payment of $67,000  related to the
onetime  non-recurring cost to purchase the rights under a contract entered into
in 1989 which  established  Wayne Savings  Financial  Services  Group,  Inc. The
increase in Federal  insurance  premiums is the result of the credit received in
the first quarter of 1997 that represents the overpayment, recorded in the third
quarter of 1996, to  recapitalize  the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund. The
high level of other  expenses  in both  quarters  is the result of the legal and
professional  fees  incurred  in the proxy  fight with a  dissident  stockholder
group.

Income tax expense Income tax expense was $255,000 which represents an effective
tax rate of 39.2% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared with income
tax expense of $342,000 which  represents an effective tax rate of 40.4% for the
three months ended March 31, 1997.
