The Board of Directors
Fairfax Financial Corporation
Baltimore, Maryland:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Fairfax Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September
30, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year
period ended September 30, 1995.  These consolidated financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company'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 Fairfax Financial
Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year
period ended September 30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" as of October 1, 1994.

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     (a)  Business
          --------

          Fairfax Financial Corporation (the Company), through its wholly-owned
          subsidiary, Fairfax Savings, A Federal Savings Bank (the Bank) and its
          subsidiaries, provides a full range of banking services to individual
          and corporate customers, primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. The
          Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The
          Bank and the Company are also subject to the regulations of certain
          federal agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory
          authorities.

     (b)  Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
          -----------------------------------------

          The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
          with generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated
          financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank
          and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
          transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 date of the statements of financial
          condition and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results
          could differ significantly from those estimates.

          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 investments in real estate. In
          connection with these determinations, management obtains independent
          appraisals for significant properties and/or prepares fair value
          analyses as appropriate.

          A major portion of the Company's loans is secured by single family
          homes. Substantially all of these loans are in the mid-Atlantic
          region. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of the Company's loan
          portfolio is susceptible to changes in market conditions in the mid-
          Atlantic region.

          The Company's investment in real estate is composed of properties
          located primarily in the mid-Atlantic region. The ultimate recovery of
          the carrying amounts of its investments in real estate is susceptible
          to changes in market conditions in those areas.

          Management believes that the allowances for losses on loans and
          investments in real estate are adequate. While management uses
          available information to recognize losses on loans and investments in
          real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based
          on changes in economic conditions, particularly in the mid-Atlantic
          region. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part
          of their examination process, periodically review the Company's
          allowances for losses on loans and investments in real estate. Such
          agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the
          allowances based on their judgments about information available to
          them at the time of their examination.

     -----------------------------------------------------

     (c)  Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities
          ----------------------------------------------------
        
          As of October 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
          Debt and Equity Securities," (SFAS No. 115), which addresses the
          accounting and reporting for certain investments in debt and equity
          securities.

          SFAS No. 115 requires classification of investments into three
          categories. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent
          and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and
          recorded at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities not classified
          as held-to-maturity and equity securities with readily determinable
          fair values are classified as trading securities if bought and held
          principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Trading
          securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
          losses included in earnings. Investments not classified as held-to-
          maturity or trading are considered available-for-sale and are reported
          at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from
          earnings and reported as a separate component of retained income (net
          of tax effects). Fair value is determined based on bid prices
          published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from
          securities dealers.

          Premiums and discounts on investment and mortgage-backed securities
          are amortized over the term of the security using the interest method.
          Gain or loss on sale of investments available-for-sale is reflected in
          income at the time of sale using the specific identification method.

     (d)  Loans Held for Sale
          -------------------

          Loans held for sale consisted of mortgage loans of $8,364,755, at
          September 30, 1995 and $7,890,098 at September 30, 1994. Loans held
          for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market as determined by
          outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield
          requirements calculated on an aggregate basis.

     (e)  Property and Equipment
          ----------------------
 
          Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
          depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are
          recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
          lives of the related assets or over the initial terms of the various
          leases.

     -----------------------------------------------------

     (f)  Investments in Real Estate
          --------------------------
 
          Real estate held for development and sale includes real estate
          development projects, which are recorded at the lower of cost or
          estimated net realizable value, and improved and unimproved real
          estate acquired through foreclosure or in-substance foreclosure, which
          is recorded initially at the lower of cost or estimated fair value and
          subsequently at the lower of book value or estimated fair value less
          estimated costs to sell. Management estimates fair value based on
          appraisals and/or cash flow analyses. Costs relating to improving such
          properties are capitalized and costs relating to holding such
          properties are charged to expense.

     (g)  Income Taxes
          ------------

          The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax
          returns.

          Effective October 1, 1991, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the
          asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and
          liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
          attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
          amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
          bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
          tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
          those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
          Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
          of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
          includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets (including tax loss
          carryforwards) are recognized only to the extent that it is more
          likely than not that such amounts will be realized based on
          consideration of available evidence, including tax planning strategies
          and other factors.

     (h)  Discounts/Premiums on Loans Purchased
          -------------------------------------

          Discounts and premiums on mortgage loans purchased are amortized over
          the contractual or weighted average life of the loans using the
          interest method. Prepayments speed estimates were derived from actual
          historical prepayment experience in the mortgage pass-through market.

     (i)  Loan Origination and Commitment Fees
          ------------------------------------

          For loans held for investment, loan origination and commitment fees
          and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized into
          income over the contractual life of the loan using the interest
          method. Under certain circumstances, commitment fees are recognized
          over the commitment period or upon the expiration of the commitment.

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
     -----------------------------------------------------

     (i)  Loan Origination and Commitment Fees, continued
          -----------------------------------------------

          For loans held for sale, all loan origination and commitment fees and
          direct loan origination costs are deferred until the related loans are
          sold. The deferred fees and costs are recognized as a component of
          gains and losses.

     (j)  Provision for Losses on Loans Receivable
          ----------------------------------------

          In October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for
          Impairment of a Loan" was amended by Statement 118 "Accounting by
          Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and
          Disclosures" (collectively referred to as "Statement 114"). Statement
          114 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.
          Statement 114 addresses the accounting by creditors for impairment of
          certain loans. It is generally applicable for all loans except large
          groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans, including residential
          mortgage loans and consumer installment loans that are collectively
          evaluated for impairment. It also applies to all loans that are
          restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification
          of terms. However, if a loan that was restructured in a troubled debt
          restructuring involving a modification of terms before the effective
          date of Statement 114 is not impaired based on the terms specified by
          the restructuring agreement, a creditor may continue to account for
          the loan in accordance with the provisions of Statement 15,
          "Accounting for Troubled Debt Restructurings" prior to its amendment
          by Statement 114.

          Statement 114 requires that impaired loans be measured on the present
          value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
          interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price or the fair
          value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is
          considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
          is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due
          according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company
          adopted the provisions of Statement 114 as of October 1, 1995.
          Adoption of Statement 114 will not have a material impact on the
          Company's financial statements.

     (k)  Financial Instruments
          ---------------------

          The Company uses financial options (interest-rate options) as a hedge
          against exposure to interest rate risk on certain portions of
          anticipated loan production through the purchase of puts or the
          writing of calls. The instruments are based on notional amounts which
          approximate the amount of production to be hedged. The underlying
          securities subject to the contracts are either FNMA or GNMA mortgage-
          backed securities based on the type of loan in production. Premiums
          paid and received are amortized over the option periods, which are
          generally sixty to ninety days. Gains and losses on exercise of the
          puts and calls are used to offset the effects of changes in interest
          rates on related anticipated loan production. Unamortized net premiums
          as of September 30, 1995 and 1994 were approximately $0 and $15,000,
          respectively.

     -----------------------------------------------------


     (l)  Capital Stock
          -------------

          In June, 1994 the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to
          the Company's charter to provide for the authorization of 9,000,000
          shares of non-voting common stock (par value $.01 per share).
          Thereupon, the Company distributed 150 shares of non-voting common
          stock for each share of voting common stock issued and outstanding.
          Subsequent to the distribution, the Company had outstanding 60,000
          shares of voting common stock and 9,000,000 shares of non-voting
          common stock. Since, there is no active market for the stocks in order
          to establish fair value, the amount of par value of the shares issued
          was capitalized from retained income, in accordance with generally
          accepted accounting principles.

     (m)  Statements of Cash Flows
          ------------------------

          For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
          include cash on hand and in banks and federal funds sold.

          The Company paid interest on deposits, including interest credited
          directly to customer accounts, and borrowings aggregating $19,743,740,
          $13,518,363 and $15,471,169 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

(2)  Cash
     ----

     Cash in the amount of $1,043,120 and $786,989 at September 30, 1995 and
     1994, respectively, is restricted for payment of mortgagor principal,
     interest, taxes, and insurance which relate to payments received in
     connection with the Company's mortgage servicing operation. At September
     30, 1994, cash in the amount of $1,184,039, was restricted for collateral
     for an appeal bond.

(3)  Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell
     -----------------------------------------------

     The Company purchases securities under agreements to resell (repurchase
     agreements). The amounts advanced under the agreements represent short-term
     loans.

     There were no securities purchased under agreements to resell during the
     year ended September 30, 1995.

     Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $10,567,123 during
     the year ended September 30, 1994. The maximum amount outstanding at any
     month-end was $28,000,000 during the year ended September 30, 1994.

(6)  Loans Receivable, Continued
     ---------------------------

     As of September 30, 1995, conventional loans secured by mortgages on real
     estate consisted of $263,749,093 in 1 to 4 family residential loans,
     $498,000 in 5 or more family residential loans, $21,520,329 in commercial
     property loans, $7,417,170 in mortgage lines of credit and $11,768,082 in
     land development loans.

     As of September 30, 1994, conventional loans secured by mortgages on real
     estate consisted of $262,206,000 in 1 to 4 family residential loans,
     $868,000 in 5 or more family residential loans, $25,728,000 in commercial
     property loans, $2,424,000 in mortgage lines of credit and $5,411,000 in
     land development loans.

     As of September 30, 1995 and 1994, construction loans were secured by 1 to
     4 family residential mortgage loans.

     The Company's lending operations are concentrated in the mid-Atlantic
     region. Substantially all of the Company's loans receivable are mortgage
     loans secured by residential and commercial property and consumer loans
     secured by automobiles and boats. Loans are extended only after evaluation
     by management of borrowers' credit worthiness, value of collateral and
     other relevant factors on a case-by-case basis.

     The Company generally does not lend over 95% of the appraised value of a
     property and generally requires private mortgage insurance on residential
     first mortgages with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. In addition,
     the Company generally obtains personal guarantees of partial to full
     repayment from the borrower and/or others for construction, commercial and
     multi-family residential loans and disburses the proceeds of construction
     and similar loans only as work progresses on the related projects.

     Residential lending is generally considered to involve less risk than other
     forms of lending although repayment of these loans is dependent to some
     extent on economic and market conditions in the Company's primary lending
     area. Multi-family residential, commercial and construction loan repayments
     are generally dependent on the operations of the related properties or the
     financial condition of the borrower or guarantor. Accordingly, repayment of
     such loans can be more susceptible to adverse conditions in the real estate
     market and the national and local economy. Repayment of consumer loans is
     largely dependent on the condition of the regional economy and the used
     automobile and boat market.

        Call options sold                                                --         2,000,000


     The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
     (statement of financial condition) risk in the normal course of business to
     meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to
     fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include
     commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees and options purchased
     and written in connection with the management of interest rate risk on loan
     production. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
     credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
     statement of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of those
     instruments reflect the Company's involvement in particular classes of
     financial instruments.

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer 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. The Company evaluates each
     customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
     collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of
     credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
     Collateral held varies but generally may include cash, marketable
     securities, and property. Mortgage loan commitments, exclusive of the
     undisbursed portion of loans-in-process, are at market terms at the time of
     closing. Substantially all of these commitments expire in less than 90
     days.

     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company
     to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit
     risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that
     involved in extending loans to customers. The Company holds collateral
     supporting those commitments when deemed necessary.

(6)  Loans Receivable, Continued
     ---------------------------

     In addition, certain first mortgage residential loans sold by a subsidiary
     of the Company are subject to recourse to that subsidiary as determined in
     the loan sales agreements and represent financial guarantees of the
     subsidiary. The recourse provisions generally require the subsidiary of the
     Company to repurchase the buyer's interest in individual loans in the event
     the borrower becomes delinquent on scheduled payments within a specified
     period from the sale of the loan.

     The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
     other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit,
     recourse obligations on loans sold and financial guarantees is represented
     by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same
     credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
     does for on-balance sheet instruments. For put options purchased and call
     options written, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure
     to credit loss. The commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees
     are secured by residential real estate. Generally, the security is adequate
     to satisfy the amount of commitment or guarantee and therefore management
     believes that an allowance for loss is not required.

     The Company generally enters into two types of interest-rate options,
     purchase of puts and sale of calls. The put options are contracts that
     allow the Company to sell a financial instrument to the seller or "writer"
     of the option at a specified price during a specified period of time, and
     call options allow the purchaser to sell a financial instrument to the
     Company at a specified price during a specified period of time. The
     underlying instruments are FNMA or GNMA mortgage-backed securities. These
     options are used to hedge interest rate risk on a portion of anticipated
     loan production. A premium is paid for the put and the Company would
     normally exercise the right of sale at a gain in a rising interest rate
     environment to offset the effect of rates committed on related anticipated
     loan production. The calls are sold for a premium and would normally be
     exercised in a declining interest rate environment and the loss incurred by
     the Company would offset anticipated loan sales at higher rates committed
     on related anticipated loan production. The contracts are settled for the
     difference between the strike or exercise price and the market price on the
     date the put or call is exercised. While the call option contracts are
     accounted for as a part of the hedging strategy, the Company bears the risk
     of an unfavorable change in the price of the financial instrument
     underlying the option.

     At September 30, 1995 and 1994 nonaccrual loans were $4,209,497 and
     $1,453,214, respectively. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, past due 90 days
     and accruing loans amounted to $869,669 and $1,013,989, respectively. In
     addition to the nonaccrual loans identified above, management has
     identified other loans within the commercial loan portfolio that, while
     current in required payments, have exhibited potential weaknesses that
     could weaken the asset and increase the level of risk in the future. Such
     loans amounted to $477,433 at September 30, 1995 and $2,908,437 at
     September 30, 1994. Management believes that the allowance for losses is
     adequate to provide for potential losses on these loans.

     are not reflected in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
     Such servicing operations result in annual service fees which generally
     range from .25% to .44% based on unpaid principal balances of loans

     --------------------------------------------

     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), through the Savings
     Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), insures deposits of accountholders up to
     $100,000. To provide for this insurance, the Bank must pay an annual
     premium. The Bank is also required to maintain an investment in the stock
     of the Federal Home Loan Bank. See note 10.

     In connection with the insurance of its deposits, the Bank is required to
     maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The regulatory capital
     regulations require minimum levels of tangible and core capital of 1.5% and
     3%, respectively, of adjusted total assets and risk-based capital of 8% of
     risk-weighted assets. For risk-based capital purposes, the Bank is
     permitted to include its general valuation loan loss allowance subject to a
     limitation of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. At September 30, 1995, the
     Bank was in compliance with the regulatory capital requirements, with
     tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 8.77%, 8.77% and 15.03%,
     respectively.

     Certain investments, including investments in subsidiaries involved in
     activities which are not permissible for national banks, are required to 
     be excluded from capital, except that any such investments made as of 
     April 12, 1989 are subject to a phased-in exclusion at specified rates on
     July 1 of each year from 1990 to 1994. The percentages of such investments
     subject to exclusion from capital are as follows: 1991, 25%; 1992, 40%;
     1993, 60%; and 1994, 100%. On July 1, 1992 the increase in the percentage
     exclusion to 40% was postponed until October 31, 1992. On October 30, 1992,
     the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) issued an order to immediately
     freeze current capital deductions for investments and loans made by savings
     associations to their real estate subsidiaries at 25 percent pursuant to
     authority granted under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.
     The immediate freeze was effective until January 1, 1993. Savings
     associations that wanted to take advantage of an extended capital phase-out
     schedule after January 1 were required to submit

     an application to their OTS regional office by December 1, 1992. During
     November 1992, the Bank submitted its application to the OTS and received
     approval in December 1992. At September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994,
     the Bank's net investment subject to the phased-in exclusion from capital
     was approximately $838,000 and $2,255,000, respectively, and is effective
     until July 1996.

     On a fully phased-in basis the Bank would have had tangible, core and risk-
     based capital ratios of 8.72%, 8.72% and 14.95% at September 30, 1995,
     respectively.

     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA) of 1991
     was signed into law on March 19, 1991, and regulations implementing the
     prompt correction action provisions became effective on March 19, 1992.
     FDICIA also includes significant changes to the legal and regulatory
     environment for insured depository institutions, including reduction in
     insurance coverage for certain kinds of deposits, increased supervision by
     the federal regulatory agencies, increased reporting requirements for
     insured institutions, and new regulations concerning internal controls,
     accounting, and operations.

     The prompt corrective action regulations define specific capital categories
     based on an institution's capital ratios. The capital categories, in
     declining order, are "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
     "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and "critically
     undercapitalized." Institutions categorized as "undercapitalized" or worse
     are subject to certain restrictions, including the requirement to file a
     capital plan with its primary federal regulator, prohibitions on the
     payment of dividends and management fees, restrictions on executive
     compensation, and increased supervisory monitoring, among other things.

     To be considered "well capitalized," an institution must generally have a
     leverage capital ratio of at least 5%, a tier one risk-based capital ratio
     of at least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. At
     September 30, 1995, the Bank met the criteria required to be considered
     "well-capitalized" under this regulation.

     Dividends may not be paid if doing so would cause the Bank to fail to meet
     the minimum levels of regulatory capital. See also note 20 for additional
     restrictions on the payment of dividends.

     The Office of Thrift Supervision adopted a final rule in August of 1993
     incorporating an interest rate risk (IRR) component into the risk-based
     capital rules. The new rule is effective January 1, 1994, however,
     institutions have not yet been required to meet the new standards. The IRR
     component is a dollar amount that will be deducted from total capital for
     the purpose of calculating an institution's risk-based capital requirement
     and is measured in terms of the sensitivity of its net portfolio value
     (NPV) to changes in interest rates. NPV is the difference between incoming
     and outgoing discounted cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-
     balance sheet contracts. An institution's IRR is measured as the change to
     its NPV as a result of a hypothetical 200 basis point change in market
     interest rates. A resulting

     change in NPV of more than 2% of the estimated market value of its assets
     will require the institution to deduct from its capital 50% of that excess
     change. The rule provides that the OTS will calculate the IRR component
     quarterly for each institution. Based on the information provided by the
     OTS on the Bank's NPV as of June 30, 1995, the new requirement would not
     have required an adjustment to risk-based capital as of September 30, 1995.

     The Bank's premiums for deposit insurance are based upon rates established
     for the Savings Association Insurance fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. As SAIF
     remains substantially undercapitalized, legislation has been introduced in
     Congress (i) to recapitalize SAIF, (ii) to merge SAIF with the Bank
     Insurance Fund ("BIF"), and (III) to provide for the payment of interest on
     the Financing Corporation ("FICO") bonds issued in 1987. Under the proposed
     legislation, a significant one-time special assessment may have to be paid
     by the Bank (amounting to $.85 to $.90 per $100 of SAIF insured deposits or
     between $3.3 million and $3.5 million based on deposits at September 30,
     1995). Further, the Bank would have to pay annually approximately $.025 per
     $100 of insured deposits (in addition to regular deposit insurance
     premiums) to fund FICO interest payments. Although passage of the
     legislation appears likely, the ultimate form of the legislation, including
     the timing and amount of any payments to be made thereunder, cannot be
     determined at this time.

     Under a blanket floating lien security agreement with the FHLB, the Company
     is required to maintain, as collateral for its advances, qualifying first
     mortgage loans in an amount equal to 100% of the advances.

     The Company sells securities under agreements to repurchase in the form of
     dollar reverse repurchase agreements and fixed coupon reverse repurchase
     agreements. Under dollar reverse repurchase agreements, securities are sold
     and transferred to a second party broker for cash. The agreement states
     that securities with identical rates and par values within the accepted
     "good delivery" standard will be repurchased. With fixed-coupon reverse
     repurchase agreements securities underlying the agreement are book entry
     securities which are held in trust with a third-party custodian. Both
     agreements are treated as financings and the obligations to repurchase
     securities sold are reflected as liabilities in the consolidated statements
     of financial condition. The dollar amount of securities underlying the
     current agreement to repurchase remain in the asset accounts. Securities
     sold under agreements to repurchase averaged $7,654,661, $596,343 and
     $26,226,205 during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The maximum amounts

     A reconciliation between the provision for income taxes and the amount
     computed by multiplying income before income taxes by the Federal income
     tax rate of 34% is as follows for the years ended September 30:


                                                1995        1994     1993

                                              =========   =========  =======


     Income taxes paid during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
     aggregated approximately $3,397,000 and $3,365,000, respectively.

     The Company has qualified under provisions of the Federal Internal Revenue
     Code which permit it to deduct from taxable income a provision for bad
     debts based on a percentage of taxable income before such deduction, or
     based on actual experience. The Company's deduction is computed based on
     actual experience.

     Statement 109 continues the exception for providing a deferred tax
     liability on bad debt reserves for tax purposes of qualified thrift
     lenders, such as the Company, that arose in fiscal years beginning before
     March 31, 1987. Such bad debt reserve for the Company amounted to
     approximately $14,900,000 at September 30, 1995, with an income tax effect
     of approximately $5,754,000 at September 30, 1995. This bad debt reserve
     would become taxable if the Company does not maintain certain qualified
     assets as defined, if the reserve is charged for other than bad debt losses
     or if the Company does not maintain the Bank's thrift charter.

(16) Related Party Transactions
     --------------------------

     A branch office of the Bank is leased from a partnership in which the
     Chairman of the Board and a stockholder of the Company are partners. Total
     rental payments under this lease for the years ended September 30, 1995,
     1994 and 1993 amounted to $40,434, $38,253 and $38,253, respectively.

     First mortgage loans serviced for others, which are not included in the
     Company's assets, included $8,738,835 and $9,480,353 of loans which are
     serviced for the Chairman of the Board and another stockholder of the
     Company at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively; the Company charges a
     normal servicing fee for servicing these loans.

(17) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust
     -----------------------------

     The Bank has defined contribution profit sharing and 401k plans covering
     substantially all employees. Employees who have worked 1,000 hours or more,
     completed one year of service, as defined in the Plan agreements, and have
     reached the age of 21 are eligible to participate. Contributions to the
     profit sharing plan by the Bank are discretionary and contributions by
     participants are not allowed. The Bank does not contribute to the 401k
     plan. Participants' contributions to the 401k plan as a percentage of their
     annual compensation are subject to certain limitations. The total expense
     relating to the profit sharing plan for the years ended September 30, 1995,
     1994 and 1993 was $160,000, $205,852 and $303,500, respectively.

(18) Legal Proceedings
     -----------------

     The Company is a party to various lawsuits arising out of the normal course
     of its business. Management of the Company does not anticipate that the
     ultimate resolution of these cases, considered in the aggregate, will
     materially affect the financial condition or results of operation of the
     Company.

     The Company was a party to various litigation as disclosed in prior years.
     The costs resolving these matters are included in the accompanying
     statements of income.

(19) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
     ----------------------------------- 

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
     Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (Statement 107) requires the Company
     to disclose estimated fair values for certain on- and off-balance sheet
     financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are
     set forth below for the Company's financial instruments as of September 30,
     1995 and 1994.

     Cash on Hand and in Banks
     -------------------------

     The carrying amount for cash on hand and in banks approximates fair value
     due to the short maturity of these instruments.

     Federal Funds Sold
     ------------------

     The carrying amount for federal funds sold approximates fair value due to
     the overnight maturity of these instruments.

     Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell
     -----------------------------------------------

     The carrying amount for securities purchased under agreements to resell
     approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

(19) Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued
     ---------------------------------------------- 

     Investment Securities
     ---------------------

     The fair value of investment securities is based on bid prices received
     from an external pricing service or bid quotations received from securities
     dealers. The carrying amounts and fair values of investment securities are
     presented in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

     Mortgage-backed Securities
     --------------------------

     The fair value of mortgage-backed securities is based on bid prices
     received from an external pricing service or bid quotations received from
     securities dealers. The carrying amounts and fair values of mortgage-backed
     securities are presented in note 5 to the consolidated financial
     statements.

     Loans
     -----

     Loans were segmented into portfolios with similar financial
     characteristics. Loans were also segmented by type such as residential,
     multifamily and nonresidential, construction and land, second mortgage
     loans, commercial, and consumer. Each loan category was further segmented
     by fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and performing and
     nonperforming categories.

     The fair value of residential loans was calculated by discounting
     anticipated cash flows based on weighted-average contractual maturity,
     weighted-average coupon, prepayment assumptions and discount rate.
     Prepayment speed estimates were derived from published historical
     prepayment experience in the mortgage pass-through market and recent
     issuance activity in the primary and secondary mortgage markets. The
     discount rate for residential loans was calculated by adding to the
     Treasury yield for the corresponding weighted average maturity associated
     with each prepayment assumption a market spread as observed for mortgage-
     backed securities with similar characteristics. The fair values of
     multifamily and nonresidential loans were calculated by discounting the
     contractual cash flows at the Bank's current nonresidential loan
     origination rate. Construction, land and commercial loans, loans secured by
     savings accounts and mortgage lines of credit were determined to be at fair
     value due to their adjustable rate nature. The fair value of second
     mortgage loans was calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through
     the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflected
     the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the portfolio. The fair value
     of consumer loans was calculated by discounting the contractual cash flows
     at the Company's current consumer loan origination rate.

     The fair value for nonperforming loans was determined by reducing the
     carrying value of nonperforming loans by the Company's historical loss
     percentage for each specific loan category.

(19) Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued
     ----------------------------------------------

     Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
     ---------------------------------------

     The carrying amount of options at September 30, 1995 and 1994 of
     approximately $0 and $15,000, respectively, represents accrued or deferred
     income and fees arising from these financial instruments and the estimated
     fair values represent the net unrealized gain. As of September 30, 1994,
     the Company did not have any material unrealized gains or losses on options
     outstanding. Accordingly, no fair value is attributed to these financial
     instruments.

     A significant portion of the Company's fixed rate commitments are presold
     in the secondary market, therefore, they are not subject to interest rate
     risk. The Company's adjustable rate commitments to extend credit move with
     market rates and are not subject to interest rate risk. The rates and terms
     of the Company's commitments to lend are competitive with others in the
     various markets in which the Company operates. The carrying amounts are
     reasonable estimates of the fair value of these instruments. Carrying
     amounts are comprised of the unamortized fee income from these financial
     instruments. See note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for the
     amounts of such instruments.

     The fair value of standby letters of credit at September 30, 1995 and 1994
     of $4,000 and $3,000, respectively, is estimated by discounting the
     remaining contractual fees over the term using the fees currently charged
     to enter into similar agreements. Carrying amounts are comprised of the
     unamortized fee income from these financial instruments. See note 6 to the
     consolidated financial statements for the amounts of such instruments.

     The disclosure of fair value amounts does not include the fair values of
     any intangibles, including core deposit intangibles and mortgage servicing
     rights. Core deposit intangibles represent the value attributable to total
     deposits based on an expected duration of customer relationships. Mortgage
     servicing rights represent the right to service mortgage loans owned by
     third parties.

     Limitations
     -----------

     Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on
     relevant market information and information about financial instruments.
     These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result
     from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a
     particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant
     portion of the Company's 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 factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
     uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be
     determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly
     affect estimates.

(20) Limitations on Capital Distributions
     ------------------------------------

     OTS regulations impose limitations on all capital distributions by savings
     institutions. Capital distributions include cash dividends, payments to
     repurchase or otherwise acquire the savings association's shares, payments
     to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger, and other
     distributions charged against capital. The rule establishes three tiers of
     institutions. An institution that exceeds all fully phased-in capital
     requirements before and after a proposed capital distribution ("Tier 1
     Association") may, after prior notice but without the approval of the OTS,
     make capital distributions during a calendar year up to (i) 100% of its net
     income to date during the calendar year plus the amount that would reduce
     by one-half its surplus capital at the beginning of the calendar year or
     (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four-quarter period. Any
     additional capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval.
     An institution that meets its regulatory capital requirement, but not its
     fully phased-in capital requirement before or after its capital
     distribution ("Tier 2 Association") may, after prior notice but without the
     approval of the OTS, make capital distributions of: up to 75% of its net
     income over the most recent four quarter period if it satisfies the risk-
     based capital requirement that would be applicable to it on January 1,
     1993, computed based on its current portfolio; up to 50% of its net income
     over the most recent four quarter period if it satisfies the risk based
     capital standard that was applicable to it on January 1, 1991, computed
     based on its current portfolio; and up to 25% of its net income over the
     most recent four quarter period if it satisfies its current risk-based
     capital requirement. In computing the institution's permissible percentage
     of capital distributions, previous distributions made during the prior four
     quarter period must be included. A savings institution that does not meet
     its current regulatory capital requirements before or after payment of a
     proposed capital distribution ("Tier 3 Association") may not make any
     capital distributions, without prior approval of the OTS. In addition, OTS
     would prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any institution, which
     would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the OTS determines that
     such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. In
     addition, FDICIA provides that, as a general rule, a financial institution
     may not make a capital distribution if it would be undercapitalized after
     making the capital distribution. Also, an institution meeting the Tier 1
     capital criteria which has been notified that it needs more than normal
     supervision will be treated as a Tier 2 or Tier 3 institution unless the
     OTS deems otherwise. As of September 30, 1995, the Bank was a Tier 1
     Association.

(21) Proposed Acquisition
     --------------------

     The Company has entered into a purchase agreement with Susquehanna
     Bancshares, Inc. (Susquehanna), a Pennsylvania bank holding company, that
     will permit Susquehanna to acquire the Company in a cash transaction. It is
     anticipated that the transaction will be completed during the first quarter
     of 1996. Based on the terms of the agreement, the acquisition would be
     accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that
     the assets and liabilities acquired be recorded at estimated fair values.
     The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein do
     not reflect any adjustments for the estimated fair values of the assets and
     liabilities of the Company that might be necessary as a result of this
     transaction.
