                          QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

                                  (UNAUDITED)



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Ottawa Financial Corporation ("Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Ottawa Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank").  All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30,
1996, and its results of operations and statement of cash flows for the periods
presented.  All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.  The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain all
the necessary financial disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto of Ottawa Financial Corporation for the year ended December 31, 1995.

         The provision for income taxes is based upon the effective tax rate
expected to be applicable for the entire year.

         Earnings per common share and common share equivalents for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, were computed by dividing net income for the period
by 5,292,140, the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the
weighted average number of common stock equivalents resulting from dilutive
stock options for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

         The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement
of Financial Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation.  SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair value based method of accounting
for employee stock options and similar equity instruments, such as warrants,
and encourages all companies to adopt that method of accounting for all of
their employee stock compensation plans.  However, the statement allows
companies to continue measuring compensation cost for such plans using
accounting guidance in place prior to SFAS No. 123.  Companies that elect to
remain with the former method of accounting must make pro-forma disclosures of
net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method provided for in
SFAS No. 123 had been adopted.  The accounting requirements of the Statement
are required for transactions entered into in fiscal years that begin after
December 15, 1995, although early adoption is permitted.  Disclosure
requirements are effective for financial statements issued after December 15,
1995 or the period in which the accounting requirements are adopted if they are
early adopted.  Companies which elect to continue measuring compensation costs
under current guidance must present pro- forma disclosures for awards granted
in the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994, however that
disclosure need not be made until financial statements for that fiscal year are
presented for comparative purposes with financial statements for a later fiscal
year.  Management has concluded that the Company will not adopt the fair value
accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123 and will continue to apply its current
method of accounting.  Accordingly, adoption of SFAS No. 123 will have no
impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION

                          OTTAWA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                 OF OPERATIONS


        The following discussion compares the financial condition of Ottawa
Financial Corporation ("Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ottawa
Savings Bank, FSB ("Bank") at June 30, 1996 to December 31, 1995 and the
results of operations for the three months ended and six months ended June 30,
1996, compared to the same period in 1995.  This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the interim consolidated condensed financial statements and
footnotes included herein.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Total assets increased $411.83 million, or 111.21%, from $370.31
million on December 31, 1995 to $782.14 million on June 30, 1996, of which
$356.77 million of assets were acquired from AmeriBank.

        Total cash and cash equivalents increased 7.56%, or $1.20 million, to
$17.07 million on June 30, 1996 from $15.87 million on December 31, 1995.
Investment securities available for sale increased 22.36%, or $14.48 million
from $64.76 million on December 31, 1995 to $79.24 million on June 30, 1996, of
which $42.63 million of investment securities available for sale were acquired
from AmeriBank.  Proceeds of $33.29 million received from sold and matured
investment securities, together with an increase in deposits and Federal Home
Loan Bank advance borrowings, were used to fund the AmeriBank acquisition, to
fund loan growth and increase cash and cash equivalents.

        Loans receivable increased 132.25% or $365.63 million from $276.46
million on December 31, 1995 to $642.09 million on June 30, 1996.  This
increase is primarily the result of $294.70 million of loans acquired from
AmeriBank, a very strong economic market, and a broad range of lending products
now available in the Bank's combined larger market.

        Deposits increased 147.41%, or $358.53 million, from $243.22 million on
December 31, 1995 to $601.75 million on June 30, 1996, of which $333.02 million
were acquired from AmeriBank.  The Bank has also been aggressive in marketing
its Certificates of Deposit program, generating approximately $24 million in
new Certificates of Deposit.

        Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased 107.38% from $43.24 million
on December 31, 1995 to $89.67 million at June 30, 1996.  The proceeds of the
advances were used primarily to fund the AmeriBank acquisition and loan growth
during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

        Total stockholders' equity increased from $79.56 million on December
31, 1995 to $80.34 million on June 30, 1996.  Stockholders' equity increased as
a result of net income after payment of dividends, the exercise of stock options
which increased common stock and additional paid in capital, and by the cost of
warrants and options issued upon the purchase of AmeriBank.  The increase was
partially offset as a result of the repurchase of 235,366 shares of Company
common stock and by the change in net unrealized gain or loss on securities
available for sale, net of tax, which decreased from a gain of $390,556 on
December 31, 1995 to a loss of $399,591 on June 30, 1996 as a result of the
general increase in market interest rates during the six month period ended
June 30, 1996.

        During the second quarter of 1996, the Company declared a cash dividend
of $.08 per share.  Dividends declared, as a percentage of earnings per share
were 28.57% for the three month period ended June 30, 1996.  Dividends paid for
the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was $.16 per share.  Dividends
declared as a percentage of earnings per share was 30.77% for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS

        The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest
income and interest expense for major components of interest- earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities.  It distinguishes between the change related
to changes in outstanding balances and that due to interest rate movements.
For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e.,
changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e.,
changes in rate multiplied by old volume).  For purposes of this table, changes
attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been
allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to
rate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Net income increased 77.6% from $822,000 in the quarter ended June 30,
1995 to $1.46 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The net income for
the six month period increased 51.9% from $1.81 million through June 30, 1995
to $2.75 million through June 30, 1996.  The increase was due primarily to
asset growth resulting from the acquisition of AmeriBank in the first quarter
of 1996.  Additionally, the net effect of the amortization of the purchase
accounting adjustments and goodwill that was generated in the acquisition has
also had a small positive impact on net income during the quarter ended June
30, 1996.  The difference between the purchase price and net book value of
AmeriBank on the date of acquisition was approximately $12.7 million.  The
excess was allocated to the significant assets and liabilities assumed in the
acquisition to record these items at their fair values (referred to as purchase
accounting adjustments), with the remaining excess allocated to goodwill.  The
purchase accounting adjustments and goodwill are being amortized under various
methods and over the lives of the corresponding assets and liabilities.

        The most significant purchase accounting adjustment relates to
deposits, for which an increase in value of approximately $3.89 million was
recorded.  This adjustment is being amortized over approximately 4.5 years,
resulting in a positive impact to income through the year 2000.  Offsetting
this positive impact to income is the amortization of the other purchase
accounting adjustments and the amortization of goodwill, which are being
amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 15 years.  Overall,
the net effect is an increase to income, after taxes, during 1996 and a
decrease to income, after taxes, thereafter.

        Net interest income increased $2.60 million during the quarter ended
June 30, 1996, compared to the same period in 1995, reflecting increased income
as a result of the acquisition of AmeriBank and continued strong core earnings,
partially offset by increased interest expense on deposits and borrowings as a
result of increases in balances and the rates paid on such liabilities.  For
the six month period ended June 30, 1996, net interest income was up $4.05
million.  The net yield on average interest earning assets, i.e. net interest
margin, decreased from 4.56% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to 3.63%
for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The reduction in net interest margin
was primarily the result of the liquidation of interest earning securities to
fund the acquisition of AmeriBank, and the result of the acquisition of
AmeriBank, which had a net interest margin of 2.62% at December 31, 1995.  The
percentage of total average interest-bearing assets to total average
interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 112% at June 30, 1996, from 132%
at June 30, 1995.  This decrease was primarily the result of the acquisition of
AmeriBank which had an average of total interest bearing assets to total
interest bearing liabilities of 102% at December 31, 1995.

        Provision for loan losses increased $120,000 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 1995 and
increased $204,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
six month period ended June 30, 1995.  This increase was based on management's
assessment of risk factors.  The allowance is maintained by management at a
level considered adequate to cover possible losses that are currently
anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions,
information about specific borrower situations, including their financial
position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates, which are
subject to change over time.  Considering management's intention to grow
commercial and consumer portfolios, increasing provisions are appropriate in
preparation for higher risk of loss with those portfolios compared to
mortgages. Although the level of non-performing assets is considered in
establishing the allowance for loan losses balance, variations in
non-performing loans have not been meaningful based on the Company's past loss
experience and, as such, the minor variations have not had a significant impact
on the overall level of the allowance for loan losses.  Delinquent loans are
put on non-accrual status unless they are adequately capitalized and in the
process of collection.  As of June 30, 1996, $1.01 million of loans were
non-accruing, compared to none as of June 30, 1995.  As of June 30, 1996, the
allowance for loan losses of $2.87 million was approximately .45% of net loans
receivable and 179.49% of nonperforming assets, as compared to .47% and 41.98%
as of June 30, 1995.

        Non-interest income increased by $432,000 in the second quarter
compared to the same period in 1995 and increased $821,000 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995.  Service
charges and other fees increased during the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1996 due to increased deposit account activity, increased loan
origination and refinancing activity, and the contribution to non-interest
income due to the acquisition of AmeriBank.

        Non-interest expense increased from $2.64 million for the three month
period ended June 30, 1995, to $4.52 million for the three month period ended
June 30, 1996.  The Company's non-interest expense also increased from $5.21
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 to $8.27 million for the
six month period ended June 30, 1996.  The Company's increase in non-interest
expense for both periods was due to the addition of non-interest expenses of
AmeriBank, an increase in compensation and benefit expenses, primarily related
to ESOP and MRP expense, amortization of acquisition intangibles, along with
general increases in other expenses.  As a result of the updating and
conversion of the Company's data processing system, the Company will gain
efficiencies of service costs, lower overall data processing expense, partially
offset by depreciation expense on the new equipment.

        The deposits of savings associations such as the Bank are presently
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), which, along
with the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"), is one of the two insurance funds
administered by the FDIC.  Financial institutions which are members of the BIF
are experiencing substantially lower deposit insurance premiums because the BIF
has achieved its required level of reserves, while the SAIF has not yet
achieved its required reserves.  A recapitalization plan for the SAIF under
consideration by Congress reportedly provides for a special assessment of 0.80%
to 0.90% of deposits to be imposed on all SAIF insured institutions to enable
the SAIF to achieve its required level of reserves.  If the proposed assessment
of 0.90% was effected based on deposits as of March 31, 1995 (as proposed), the
Bank's special assessment would amount to approximately $4.81 million before
taxes.  Accordingly, this special assessment would significantly increase
non-interest expense and adversely effect the Company's results of operations.
Conversely, depending upon the Bank's capital level and supervisory rating, and
assuming (although there can be no assurance) the insurance premium levels for
BIF and SAIF members are again equalized, future deposit insurance premiums
could decrease significantly, to as low as $2,000, from the .23% of deposits
currently paid by the Bank, which would reduce non-interest expense for future
periods.

        The Company's federal income tax expense increased from $534,000 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1995 to $931,000 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1996.  The federal income tax expense for the six month
period ended June 30, 1995 of $988,000 increased to $1.66 million for the six
month period ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in federal income tax was a
result of higher net income before federal income tax expense, and the
amortization of goodwill with no tax benefit.  

        Earnings for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$.28 and $.52, respectively, per weighted average number of shares outstanding.
(The weighted average number of outstanding shares for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1996, were 5,280,409 and 5,292,140 shares,
respectively.)

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSS

        The Company's non-performing assets decreased 41.43%, or $1.13 million,
from $2.73 million at December 31, 1995 to $1.60 million at June 30, 1996,
primarily as the result of a $1.10 million multi-family real estate loan
brought current at June 30, 1996.  The loan remains on the Company's watch
credit list.  At June 30, 1996, the percentage of non-performing assets to
total assets was .20% compared to .74% at December 31, 1995.  The Company's
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing assets at June 30,
1996, was 179.21% compared to 45.81% at December 31, 1995.

        Non-accruing loans at June 30, 1996 consisted of $708,000 of
residential mortgage loans and $297,000 of consumer loans.  Included in the
non-accruing residential mortgage loans were $543,000 of loans to the same
borrower secured by 22 individual condominium rental units.  The Company has
exercised its assignment of rents provision under the mortgage documents giving
the Company the right to receive the rents directly and to engage a new
property management company, which it has done.  The loans have an estimated
loan-to-value ratio of 66%.  At June 30, 1996, the largest accruing loan
delinquent more than 90 days did not exceed $90,000. Substantially all
non-accruing loans at June 30, 1996 had been classified as accruing delinquent
loans before being put on non-accrual status.

assets in the Company's loan portfolio at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY

        The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets of 5%
as defined by Bank regulators.  The Bank's liquidity ratio of 10.38% at June
30, 1996 complied with minimum levels.  At June 30, 1996, the Bank had
outstanding $82.08 million of loan commitments and unused lines and letters of
credit.  The Bank had $223.30 million of certificates of deposit due in less
than 12 months.  The majority of these certificates of deposit are anticipated
to rollover into another certificate of deposit with the bank.  The Bank
anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan
commitments through growth of deposits, amortization of loans and additional
FHLB borrowings, if necessary.

processing system.  The Bank is making a significant commitment to computer
hardware and software in the approximate amount of $900,000.  The new wide area
network technology and software will provide significant improvements in the
Bank's customer information system, allowing for fully integrated services and
providing state of the art commercial lending applications.  In addition, the
new technology will provide improved budgeting, asset liability management,
