NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Forrest City Financial Corporation (the "Holding Corporation") and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Forrest City Bank, FSB (the "Bank"). All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The accompanying financial statements for the interim
periods are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation
of the results of operations for such periods but should not be considered
as indicative of results for a full year.
2. CONVERSION
The Bank completed a conversion from a mutual to a stock savings and loan
association on July 28, 1994. Simultaneous with the conversion was the
formation of the Holding Corporation, incorporated in the State of
Delaware. The initial issuance of shares of common stock in the Holding
Corporation on July 28, 1994 was 229,233 shares at $15 per share, resulting
in net proceeds of $3,116,713 and was accomplished through a subscription
and community offering. Costs associated with the conversion and stock
offering amounted to $322,000 and was accounted for as a reduction of the
proceeds from the issuance of common stock of the Holding Corporation. Upon
closing of the stock offering, the Holding Corporation purchased all common
shares issued by the Bank. This transaction was accounted for in a manner
similar to the pooling of interests method.
Federal regulations require that, upon conversion from a mutual to stock
form of ownership, a "liquidation account" be established by restricting a
portion of net worth for the benefit of eligible savings account holders
who maintain their savings accounts with the Bank after conversion.
- 6 -
In the event of complete liquidation (and only in such event), each savings
account holder who continues to maintain his savings account shall be
entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account after
payment to all creditors, but before any liquidation distribution with
respect to capital stock. This account will be proportionately reduced for
any subsequent reduction in the eligible holders' savings accounts.
Federal regulations imposes limitations on the payment of dividends and
other capital distributions, including, among other, that the Bank may not
declare or pay a cash dividend on any of its stock if the effect thereof
would cause the Bank's capital to be reduced below the amount required for
the liquidation account or the capital requirements imposed by the
Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) and the
Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS").
3. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
The Holding Corporation has established an employee stock ownership plan
("ESOP"). At the date of the conversion described in Note 2, the ESOP
purchased 18,338 shares of common stock of the Holding Corporation financed
by a loan to the ESOP from the Holding Corporation. The balance of the loan
was $151,000 at September 30, 1996 and is reflected as a reduction of
consolidated stockholders' equity although the borrowing is not guaranteed
by the Holding Corporation or the Bank and does not constitute a legally
binding contribution commitment. The borrowing is payable in quarterly
principal payments of $13,754 over a five year period plus interest. All
full-time employees are eligible to participate in the ESOP after attaining
age 21 and completing one year of service during which they worked at least
1,000 hours.
4. MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN
The Holding Corporation has established a Management Recognition and
Retention Plan ("MRP") as a method of providing key officers with a
proprietary interest in the Holding Corporation in a manner designed to
encourage such individuals to remain with the Holding Corporation or

(Unaudited)
Bank. The awards vest at a rate of 20% per year, with the first installment
vesting October 25, 1995, and annually thereafter.
Pursuant to the MRP, restricted stock awards for shares of the
Corporation's common stock aggregating 3% or 6,876 shares of common stock
issued during conversion were reserved from authorized but unissued shares.
The Corporation has granted 5,502 shares as of September 30, 1996.
Consolidated stockholder's equity was reduced by the unearned compensation
in the amount of $103,140. The balance of the unvested portion was
approximately $64,000 at September 30, 1996.
5. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the periods ended. The weighted average
number of shares used in the earnings per share computation were 201,589
and 224,647 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
On October 25, 1994, shareholders of the Corporation ratified the
adoption of the Corporation's 1994 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.
Pursuant to the Stock Option and Incentive Plan, 22,923 shares of the
Corporation's common stock has been reserved for issuance from authorized
but unissued shares, of which the Corporation has granted options on 19,483
shares at a price of $14 per share on 18,337 shares and $16 on 1,146
shares. As of September 30, 1996, options on 22,923 shares of the
Corporation common stock remain unexercised.

FORREST CITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Forrest City Financial Corporation (the "Holding Corporation") was
incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware to become a savings and
loan holding company with Forrest City Bank, FSB (the "Bank") as its subsidiary.
The Holding Corporation was incorporated at the direction of the Board of
Directors of the Bank and on July 28, 1994 acquired all of the capital stock of
the Bank upon its conversion from mutual to stock form (the "Conversion"). Prior
to the Conversion, the Holding Corporation did not engage in any material
operations and had no significant assets.
The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting retail
savings deposits from the general public and investing those funds in first
mortgage loans on owner occupied, single-family residential loans, multi-family
loans, investment and mortgage-backed securities. To a lesser extent, the Bank
offers secured consumer loans, including home equity loans, loans secured by
savings deposits and unsecured consumer credit. The Bank currently originates
all of its consumer loans in its primary market area. The Bank originates
consumer loans on a direct basis by extending credit directly to the borrower.
At September 30, 1996, approximately $97,000 of the consumer loan portfolio was
not performing. There can be no assurance that additional delinquencies will not
occur in the future.
The Corporation's results of operations are primarily dependent upon
the difference (or "spread") between the average yield earned on loans,
mortgage-backed securities and other investments and the average rate paid on
deposits and borrowings. The interest rate spread is affected by regulatory,
economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and
deposit flows. The Corporation had experienced a decline in this spread as a
result of increases in interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as
compared to interest earned on interest-earning assets due to repricing. The
Corporation has seen recent improvement in the spread with the stabilization of
short-term rates and repricing of rate sensitive assets.
The Corporation commenced a stock repurchase program whereby the
Corporation may repurchase its common stock in the open market. At September 30,
1996, the Corporation had repurchased and held 33,570 shares as treasury stock
at a cost of $475,332.
- 9 -
FORREST CITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Bank has applied for and received preliminary approval from the
Office of Comptroller (OCC) to convert to a national bank. It is anticipated
that converting to a national bank will provide greater flexibility in
positioning the Bank for the future.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Corporation increased $2.3 million, or 4.4% to
$54.2 million at September 30, 1996 compared to $51.9 million at June 30, 1996.
This increase was primarily reflected in an increase in net loans receivable and
cash in banks.
Securities available for sale increased $.7 million, or 8.7% to $9.0
million at September 30, 1996 compared to $8.3 million at June 30, 1996. The net
increase results from purchases of $1.7 million offset by sales and maturities
of $1.0 million. Realized gains on sales was approximately $8,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996.
Securities held to maturity decreased $.7 million, or 6.7% to $9.0
million at September 30, 1996 compared to $9.7 million at June 30, 1996. This
decrease is due to maturities and principal payments received for assets in this
classification. There were no purchases of securities under the held to maturity
category for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
Loans receivable increased $1.0 million, or 3.4% to $31.4 million at
September 30, 1996 compared to $30.4 million at June 30, 1996. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in first mortgage loans. Stock in the Federal Home
Loan Bank increased $111,700, or 11.4% to $1,093,700 at September 30, 1996,
compared to $982,000 at June 30, 1996. This increase is due to required
purchases as a result of increased borrowings and total assets.
Total deposits increased $445,000 or 1.6% to $27.4 million at September
30, 1996 compared to $27.0 million at June 30, 1996. Management believes the
increase in deposit base to be attributable to the stabilization of interest
rates in the market area and an increase in its efforts in checking account
services offered by the Bank. These factors have had a direct impact on both the
number of transaction accounts and the resulting increase in deposit account
balances.
- 10 -
FORREST CITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Borrowed funds increased $1.7 million, or 8.7% to $21.0 million at
September 30, 1996 compared to $19.3 million at June 30, 1996. The increase in
borrowed funds was primarily used to fund the increased activity in mortgage
lending.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Net income decreased by $130,000 to a net loss of $(83,000) for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to net income of $47,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995. The decrease was primarily due to the one-time
charge to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund. As part of the
omnibus spending bill passed by Congress, the Bank was required to make a
payment of approximately $168,000. Further discussion of changes in this and
other items are discussed below.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $107,000 or 36.9%
from $291,000 to $398,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. This
increase reflects an improving interest rate spread and an increase in average
interest earning assets over interest bearing liabilities for the period. The
impact of repricing has also had a positive effect on the interest rate spread.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $165,000 or 19.3% to
$1,022,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to $857,000 for the
same period ended September 30, 1995. The increase was primarily due to
increases in interest earned on loans. Interest income on loans increased
$210,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 1995. The increase is attributable to both larger balances
invested in the portfolio and an overall increase in yield.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $58,000 or 10.2% to
$625,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to $567,000 for the
same period ended September 30, 1995. The increase was due to increased interest
expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings during the quarter ended September
30, 1996 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995. Interest expense on
these borrowings totaled $294,000 compared to $227,000 for the quarters ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase in interest expense on
borrowed funds was slightly offset by a decrease in expense for savings and time
deposits. Interest expense on savings and time
- 11 -
FORREST CITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
deposits decreased by $9,000 or 2.7% to $330,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 1996 compared to $339,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank's provision for loan losses was
$44,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to no provision for
the same period ended September 30, 1995. Management continues to monitor its
allowance for loan losses and may make future additions to the allowance through
the provision for loan losses as economic and regulatory conditions dictate.
Although the Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it
considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, 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. In
addition, the Bank's determination as to the amounts of the allowance for loan
losses is subject to review by regulatory agencies which can order the
establishment of additional general or specific allowances.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $37,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period ended September 30,
1995. This increase was primarily due to recognition of profit on sale of
securities of $8,000 and an increase in service fee income relative to the
Bank's checking account customers of approximately $23,000.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $230,000 or 95.3%
to $472,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $242,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1995. Compensation and employee
benefits increased $24,000 as a result of added personnel to handle the increase
in transaction volume of the Bank. Other operating expenses for office supplies,
postage, processing and service fees have increased due to the increase in
transaction volume and new accounts. In addition, as previously mentioned, the
Bank's federal insurance premium increased by the additional one-time charge of
$168,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Total premiums for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $190,000 compared to $19,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $25,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 compared to $25,110 for the quarter ended September 30,
1995. The current income tax expense represents estimated tax on an annualized
basis based on
- 12 -

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
management's estimated earnings exclusive of the one-time charge
for the insurance premium.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND LOAN LOSS PROVISION
The allowance for loan losses was $298,000 or .95% of loans receivable,
net at September 30, 1996 as compared to .86% of loans receivable, net at June
30, 1996.
The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets is one indicator of
the exposure to credit risk. Non-performing assets of the Company may consist of
non-accruing loans, accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more and foreclosed
assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure or deemed foreclosed.
The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing
assets in the Bank's loan portfolio.

assets at September 30, 1996 from $456,578 or .88% of total assets at June 30,

non-accruing loans which were delinquent greater than 90 days at September 30,
1996 as compared to June 30, 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OTHER LOANS OF CONCERN
In addition to the non-performing assets and foreclosed assets as of
September 30, 1996, there was also an aggregate $547,000 in net book value of
loans classified by Management with respect to the majority of which known
information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash
flows of the security properties have caused some doubts as to the ability of
the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which my result in
the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories. The
principal components of loans of concern are $362,000 of special mention assets,
all of which are performing and $185,000 of substandard assets, primarily
single-family loans that have exhibited poor payment histories.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits and repayment of loans
and mortgage-backed securities and interest earned on investments. While
scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable,
deposit flows and early loan repayments are more influenced by interest rates,
general economic conditions and competition. The Bank has been selective with
regard to deposit rates on certain savings products, and, when necessary, has
supplemented deposits with longer term and/or less expensive alternative sources
of funds.
Federal regulations historically have required the Bank to maintain
minimum levels of liquid assets. The required percentage has varied from time to
time based upon economic conditions and savings flows and is currently 5% of net
withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or
less during the preceding calendar month. Liquid assets for purposes of this
ratio include cash, certain time deposits, U.S. Government, government agency
and corporate securities and other obligations generally having remaining
maturities of less than five years. The Bank has historically maintained its
liquidity ratio at levels in excess of those required. At September 30, 1996,
the Bank's liquidity ratio was 6.43%.
Other potential sources of funds available to the Bank include
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. At September 30, 1996, the
Bank had $20.9 million of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings outstanding. The
Bank uses its liquid
- 14 -
resources principally to meet on-going commitments, to fund maturing
certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, to invest, to fund existing and
future loan commitments, to maintain liquidity and to meet operating expenses.
The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet
current loan commitments. At September 30, 1996, the Bank had outstanding
commitments to extend credit amounting to approximately $2.6 million. Management
believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to
meet the Bank's foreseeable liquidity needs.
The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of regulatory capital
pursuant to regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The table
below presents the capital position at September 30, 1996 relative to the
regulatory capital requirements. Such requirements may increase if proposed
capital regulations are implemented. Management believes the Bank will meet the
requirements of the proposed capital regulations.

capital requirements.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
("FDICIA"), all the federal banking agencies, including the OTS, must revise
their risk-based capital requirements to ensure that such requirements account
for interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risks of
non-traditional activities, and that they reflect the actual performance of and
expected loss on multi-family loans. Such standards must be adopted within 18
months of the enactment of FDICIA.
The OTS has adopted a final rule that requires every savings bank with
more than normal interest rate risk to deduct from its total capital, for
purposes of determining compliance with such requirement, an amount equal to 50%
of its interest-rate risk exposure multiplied by the present value of its
assets. This exposure is a measure of the potential decline in the net portfolio
value of a savings bank, greater than 2.0% of the present value of its assets,
based upon a hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates
(whichever results in a greater decline). Net portfolio value is the present
value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
contracts. The rule provides for a two quarter lag between calculating interest
rate risk and recognizing any deduction from capital. Institutions are first
required to recognize any deduction on September 30, 1994, however, final rules
have not been implemented by the OTS and no deduction has been required as of
the September 1996 report. Any savings bank with less than $300 million in
assets and a total capital ratio in excess of 12% is exempt from this
requirement unless the OTS determines otherwise.
Pursuant to FDICIA, the federal banking agencies, including the OTS,
have also proposed regulations authorizing the agencies to require a depository
institution to maintain additional total capital to account for concentration of
credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities. No assurance can be
given as to the final form of any such regulation.
The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances
required, to take certain actions against banks that fail to meet capital
requirements.
