                     WESTCO BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                         Notes to Financial Statements


Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and changes in financial condition in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  However, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
which may be expected for the entire year.


Note B - Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Holding Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries First Federal
Savings and Loan Association of Westchester (the "Association") and Westco, Inc.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.


Note C - Stock Conversion and Stock Split

On February 13, 1992 the Board of Directors of First Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Westchester approved a plan to convert from a federally chartered
mutual savings association to a federally chartered stock savings association.
The stock conversion plan included, as part of the conversion, the concurrent
formation of a Holding Company.  The stock offering of the Association's parent,
Westco Bancorp, Inc.  (the "Company") was closed on June 26, 1992 with the sale
of 2,300,000 shares at $10.00 per share.  The Company purchased all the shares
of stock of the Association for $10,962,363 upon completion of its stock
offering.  On May 17, 1996 a three for two stock split occurred with fractional
shares being paid in cash.


Note D - Stock Repurchase

Since the June, 1992 conversion, the Company's Board of Directors has approved
seven separate stock repurchase programs.  The current stock repurchase program
permits the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares; and, as of April 30, 1998,
54,040 shares remain to be repurchased in the open market.

Note E - Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are determined by dividing net income for the period by the
weighted average number of both basic and diluted shares of common stock and
common stock equivalents outstanding.  Stock options are regarded as common
stock equivalents and are considered in diluted earnings per share calculations.
Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method.  Earnings
per share data for 1997 have been restated for comparative purposes to reflect
the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128.



                                       -5-                     

 
                     Management's Discussions and Analysis
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
- --------- --- ------- ---------

     The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from
principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from the maturing of
investment securities.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and
investment securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions, and competition from various financial markets.  The primary
business activity of the Company, that of making conventional mortgage loans on
residential housing, is likewise affected by economic conditions.

     The Association is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as
defined by Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations.  This requirement,
which may be varied at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic
conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-
term borrowings.  The required ratio is currently 4.0%.  The Association has
historically maintained a high level of liquid assets.  At March 31, 1998, the
Association's liquidity ratio was 36.4%.

     The Company maintains a large part of the assets in overnight deposits and
a laddered portfolio of U.S. Treasury and Agency securities.  This strategy
results in a relatively short weighted average maturity of these assets.  At
March 31, 1998, these investments totalled $62.8 million, or 19.7% of assets,
with a weighted average life of approximately 7.5 months.  At December 31, 1997,
these investments totalled $64.1 million, or 20.3% of assets, with a weighted
average life of approximately 8 months.

     The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents.  The levels
of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing, lending and
investing activities, as well as the slope of the yield curve, during any given
period.  At March 31, 1998, cash and cash equivalents totalled $12.9 million.

     The primary investing activity of the Company is the origination of
mortgage loans.  During the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Company disbursed loans in the amounts of $15.8 million and $13.3 million,
respectively.  Other investing activities include the purchase of investment
securities, which totalled $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  These
activities in 1998 were funded primarily by principal repayments on loans
totalling $13.7 million and maturities of investment securities totalling $13.0
million.  The three month activity for 1997 was funded by principal repayments
on loans and maturities of investment securities in the amounts of $10.3 million
and $15.2 million respectively.

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $3.7
million.  There were no commitments to purchase loans at that date.  The Company
anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current
loan commitments.  Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one
year or less from March 31, 1998 totalled $100.6 million.  Management believes
that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.

     The regulatory standards of the OTS impose the following capital
requirements: a risk based capital standard expressed as a percent of risk based
assets, a leverage ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets, and a
tangible capital ratio expressed as a percent of total adjusted


                                      -6-

 
assets. 

     As of March 31, 1998, the Association exceeded all regulatory capital
standards.

        Capital requirements, ratios and balances are as follows (in thousands):


                                         Actual   Required Actual   Excess

CHANGE IN FINANCIAL CONDITION OVER THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998:
- ------ -- --------- --------- ---- --- ----- ------ ----- ----- --- ----

     Total assets increased $3.2 million, or 1.0%, to $319.1 million at March
31, 1998 from $315.9 million at December 31, 1997.  This increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in savings deposits of $2.1 million and an increase
in other liabilities of $800,000.

     Net loans receivable increased $2.1 million, or 0.9%, to $242.3 million
from $240.1 million at December 31, 1997 as loan principal disbursements
exceeded loan repayments.  Loans disbursed totalled $15.8 million, for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, while loan repayments totalled $13.7 million.

     Investment securities increased $1.9 million, or 3.5%, to $55.9 million at
March 31, 1998 from $54.0 million at December 31,1997.  Cash and cash
equivalents totalled $12.9 million at March 31, 1998 compared to $14.0 million
at December 31, 1997.Investments held for trading increased $156,000 to $1.6
million at March 31, 1998 from $1.5 million at December 31, 1997.

     Savings deposits increased $2.1 million, or 0.8%, to $261.7 million at
March 31, 1998 from $259.6 million at December 31, 1997.  The Company
experienced a net deposit outflow of $823,000 (before interest credited) for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998.  Management believes this net outflow
occurred primarily as a result of withdrawals made by depositors for real estate
tax and income tax payment purposes and the movement of funds by some depositors
to perceived higher returns in the stock market.

     The balance of non-performing loans, totalling $1.4 million at March 31,
1998, increased $650,000, or 59.7%, from $786,000 at December 31, 1997 due to
the additional delinquency of residential loans to four borrowers with the
largest of these loans totalling $249,000.  The ratio of non-performing loans to
total loans was 0.59% at March 31, 1998 compared to 0.33% at December 31, 1997.
Net of a $175,000 specific valuation reserve carried against a $318,000 loan
secured by a 36 unit apartment building, management believes that these loans
are adequately secured by the underlying real estate.  Non-performing loans
represented all of the Company's non-performing assets at both March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997.  The Company's allowance for loan losses totalled
$902,800 at March 31, 1998, and there were no additions, charge-offs or
recoveries during the quarter.

                                   -7-     

 
During 1992, the Association's ESOP borrowed $1,840,000 from an unrelated third
party to fund the Association's ESOP plan which was established in connection
with the conversion. During 1993, Westco Bancorp, Inc. refinanced this loan on
essentially the same terms as the original lender. The March 31, 1998 balance of
$311,000 is eliminated in the consolidation of the Company's financial
statements.

     Retained earnings increased $755,000, or 1.8%, to $42.3 million as a result
of earnings for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 and the declaration
of a dividend payment to stockholders during the quarter ended March 31, 1998.
Stockholders' equity totalled $49.3 million or 15.4% of total assets at March
31, 1998, and the book value per common share outstanding was $20.01.  On April
27, 1998, with the approval of its Board of Directors and the OTS 1st Federal
Savings and Loan Association of Westchester paid a dividend in the amount of
$4.7 million to the parent company.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
- ---------- -- --------- ------- --- --- ----- ------ ----- ----- --- ----
AND MARCH 31, 1997:
- --- ----- --- ----

     Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased $98,000, or 9.1%,
to $1.2 million from $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  In the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 net interest income increased $10,000, or 0.4%, due
primarily to the increase in invested assets.  The Company's net interest spread
decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to 2.75% from 2.85% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997. The Company's net interest margin for the first
quarter of 1998 decreased to 3.55% from 3.62% for the first quarter of 1997.
Management cannot predict the affects changes in the Federal Reserve's monetary
policy may have on the Company's interest margin and spread, because those
changes, if any, are not yet known.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997 no
additional provision for loan losses was made based upon (1) the absence of any
extraordinary asset quality problems, (2) the current level of general loan loss
reserves, and (3) management's assessment of the inherent risk in the Company's
mortgage portfolio and possible prospective economic and regulatory conditions.
Likewise, there were no charge offs or recoveries during the quarter.

     Non-interest income for the first quarter of 1998 increased $120,000 over
the same quarter in 1997 primarily as a result of both realized and unrealized
gains in 1998 of $142,000 as compared to gains of $25,000 which occurred in
1997.  These gains, along with a $12,000 increase in loan fees and service
charges and a $7,000 increase in miscellaneous income, were offset by a decrease
of $16,000 in commissions on insurance and investment products.

     Non-interest expense decreased $19,000, or 1.5%, for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 to $1.21 million from the $1.33 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  This decrease resulted from a $48,000 decrease in benefit
plan costs, a $9,000 decrease in officer expenses and a $9,000 decrease in
office occupancy and equipment expenses.  These decreases were offset by a
$15,000 increase in salaries, a $12,000 increase in legal expenses and a $20,000
increase in other operating expenses.

     In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS 132").  SFAS 132 alters current disclosure
requirements regarding pensions and other postretirement benefits in the
financial statements

                                      -8-

 
of employers who sponsor such benefit plans. The revised disclosure requirements
are designed to provide additional information to assist readers in evaluating
future costs related to such plans. Additionally, the revised disclosures are
designed to provide changes in the components of pension and benefit costs in
addition to the year end components of those factors in the resulting asset or
liability related to such plans. The statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997 with earlier application available. 

     The foregoing does not constitute a comprehensive summary of all material
changes or developments affecting the manner in which the Company keeps its
books and records and performs its financial accounting responsibilities.  It is
intended only as a summary of some of the recent pronouncements made by the FASB
which are of particular interest to financial institutions.

THRIFT RECHARTERING LEGISLATION
- ------ ------------ -----------

     The Deposit Insurance Funds Act provides that the BIF and SAIF will merge
on January 1, 1999 if there are no more savings associations as of that date.
Congress is currently considering legislation which addresses this issue,
including a proposal to eliminate the federal thrift charter, as well as others
which deal with the modernization of the banking industry.  Management cannot
predict whether such legislation will be enacted or the extent to which any
legislation would affect the Company's operations.

YEAR 2000 ANALYSIS
- ---- ---- --------

     The Company, including its subsidiaries, does not own or use proprietary
software.  The Association has a contract with NCR Corporation for data
processing services on savings and loan accounts, and NCR, as well as vendors
supplying software for other internal uses, has assured the Company that all
systems will be Year 2000 Compliant by mid-1999.  Intermediate testing and an
exam by the Office of Thrift Supervision are scheduled during the second quarter
of 1998,

     Management does not expect the total cost to become Year 2000 compliant to
be significant.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------  ------------ --- ----------- ---------- ----- ------ ----

     The Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities are subject to
varying degrees of actual or theoretical market risk.  The only significant
exposure of these instruments results from the interest rate risk embedded in
them based upon their contractual terms.

     As of December 31, 1997, an OTS analysis of the Association's estimated 
interest rate risk, as measured by changes in the Net Portfolio Value of the 
Association's financial assets and liabilities for instantaneous and sustained 
parallel shifts in interest rates, indicated that the Net Portfolio Value would 
decrease 14% (essentially the same as the previous quarter) and 31% for 200 and 
400 basis point increases in interest rates respectively and increase 6% and 12%
for 200 and 400 basis point decreases in interest rates respectively, compared 
to 4% and 11% respectively for the previous quarter.

     The Board of Directors has established parameters for monitoring the 
Association's interest rate risk.
