                              CITFED BANCORP, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
               For the Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
                                  (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The foregoing consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997 and
1996, and for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited.
However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements have been included.  Results for any interim period are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.  The interim
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CitFed Bancorp, Inc.
(the "Corporation"), its subsidiary, Citizens Federal Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank"
or "Citizens Federal") and the Bank's subsidiaries.

2. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     At June 30, 1997, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate and
purchase loans aggregating approximately $67.1 million.  The commitments extend
over varying periods of time with the majority being disbursed within thirty
days.  Loan commitments with interest rates established with the borrower
amounted to $62.1 million; the remainder are at floating rates.  The Bank had
outstanding mandatory and optional forward commitments to sell loans and
mortgage-backed securities of $95.4 million at June 30, 1997.

     The Corporation and its subsidiaries are defendants in certain lawsuits
arising in the ordinary course of business.  Management, after review with its
legal counsel, is of the opinion that the resolution of these legal matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position
or results of operations.

3. SUBSIDIARY OPERATIONS

                                                    
     CitFed Bancorp has four subsidiaries:

4. EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

     Earnings per common and common equivalent share for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 are divided by the weighted average number of common
shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period.  Average
common and common stock equivalents outstanding for the three month period
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 8,926,161 and 8,855,691, respectively.  Stock
options are considered common share equivalents.

5. DIVIDEND

     The Board of Directors declared on July 25, 1997, a quarterly dividend of
$0.09 per share payable August 30, 1997 to stockholders of record on August 15,
1997.  The total amount of the dividend will be approximately $777,000.

6. CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES

     In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
("SFAS 128").  SFAS 128 provides computation, presentation, and disclosure
requirements for earnings per share.  The current presentation of primary and
fully diluted earnings per share will be replaced with basis and diluted
earnings per share.  The Statement is effective for financial statements for
both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997, and earlier
application is not permitted.  Although basic earnings per share under SFAS 128
excludes dilutive securities, management expects that the new basic earnings
per share will not be significantly different from primary earnings per share,
which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities.  Diluted earnings
per share, as required by SFAS 128, is not expected to materially change from
the current fully diluted earnings per share presentation.

     In connection with SFAS 128, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS 129").  While SFAS
128 applies only to public companies, SFAS 129 is applicable to both public and
nonpublic companies.  This statement is not expected to have a material impact
on disclosures currently made by the Corporation.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which will require disclosure in the financial statements of all the
changes in equity during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources.  Items included in comprehensive income
will include separate classification of items based upon their nature.  The
Statement requires that comparative information for prior years to be restated.
SFAS No. 130 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997.  The effect on the Corporation's financial statements
has not yet been determined.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which will require new segment
information in public companies' annual financial statements.  Additionally,
selected information will be required in interim financial statements.  The
Statement requires that comparative information for prior years be restated.
SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997.  The effect on the Corporation's financial statements has
not yet been determined.


                                                                        Page  6

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     The Corporation is a Delaware corporation organized on January 25, 1991
for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of Citizens
Federal which was issued on January 29, 1992.  Citizens Federal is a
federally-chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Dayton, Ohio.  The Bank
has 35 offices in a seven county area that comprises the greater Dayton area.
In addition, through the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, CitFed Mortgage
Corporation of America (the "CitFed Mortgage"), it operates fifteen mortgage
loan origination offices in Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio; Indiana,
Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT

     When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words or phrases
"will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated",
"estimate", "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties - including, changes in economic conditions in the
Corporation's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies,
fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Corporation's market
area and competition, that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected.  The
Corporation wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  The
Corporation wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect
the Corporation's financial performance and could cause the Corporation's
actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or
statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

     The Corporation does not undertake -- and specifically disclaims any
obligation -- to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made
to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Citizens Federal's results of operations depend primarily upon the level
of net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income
earned on its interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and the
costs of the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and
borrowings.  Results of operations are also dependent upon the level of the
Bank's non-interest income, including fee income and service charges, and
affected by the level of its non-interest expenses, including its provision for
loan losses and general and administrative expenses.  Net interest income
depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them, respectively.


                                                                        Page  7

     Net Income:   Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997, was
$6.7 million as compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996, resulting in an increase of 32.3%.

     Interest Income:   Total interest income increased $8.1 million, or 18.2%
from $44.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $52.3 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  Of this increase, $7.3 million resulted from
an increase of $395.2 million in the average balance of interest-earning
assets, primarily loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities.  The
remaining $734,000 increase resulted from a 12 basis point increase in the
weighted average yield on interest-earning assets caused by a slight increase
in market rates of interest.

     Management decided, throughout fiscal 1997 and 1998, to grow the Bank's
assets by increasing its permanent portfolio of consumer and one- to
four-family loans held for investment.  As a result, the average balance of
loans increased $237.2 million from the three months ended June 30, 1996 to
June 30, 1997.  In addition, purchases during this same period have resulted in
an increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities and investment
securities of $121.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively.

     Interest Expense:   Total interest expense increased $6.1 million, or
21.4% from $28.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $34.5 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  Of this increase, $6.0 million was the
result of an increase of $370.3 million in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities.  The remaining $64,000 increase related to a 24
basis point increase in the cost of funds.

     The Bank's average deposits increased $71.0 million for the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997 primarily due to
an $84.3 million increase in  retail certificates of deposit, partially offset
by a $13.3 million decrease in demand and money market deposits, and NOW
accounts.  In addition, the average balance of FHLB advances and securities
sold under agreements to repurchase increased $133.3 million and $166.2
million, respectively.  These increases were necessary to fund the asset growth
planned by management.

     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.  For each category
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is
provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate
multiplied by old volume) and (ii) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume
multiplied by old rate).  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 rate and the change due to volume.

     Net Interest Margin.   The following table presents, for the periods
indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average
interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest
expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resultant rates and
the net interest margin.  No tax equivalent adjustments have been made.  All
average balances are daily average balances.

     The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing
liabilities increased to 102.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to 102.3% for the same period last year.  Although the weighted
average interest rate for both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities rose, there was a decrease in the net interest rate spread.  This
is a result of the Bank's deposit liabilities and short-term borrowings
repricing slightly faster than its interest-earning assets.  In addition, the
Bank's planned asset growth was substantially funded by an increase in the
balances of short-term borrowings, which bears a higher average rate than the
average rate of deposits.

     Provision for Loan Losses.   The Bank's provision for loan losses was $1.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, compared to a provision of
$450,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The growth in consumer and
non-residential real estate loans (which have traditionally carried more risk
than one- to four-family real estate loans) and the overall growth of the
Bank's loan portfolio contributed to the increase in the provision for loan
losses.  Both provisions reflect the Bank's continuing evaluation of its loan
portfolio, the growth of the portfolio, and the effect thereon from general
economic conditions.  Management's estimate of the adequacy of its general
allowances for loan losses is based upon an analysis of the Bank's loan
portfolio including such factors as prior loan loss experiences, economic
conditions affecting the real estate market, regulatory considerations and
other matters.


                                                                        Page  10

     The ratio of the allowance to non-performing loans increased to 231.0% at
June 30, 1997, compared to 83.2% for the same period one year ago primarily
because of the decrease in non-performing loans from $20.1 million to $7.8
million.  This decrease was primarily due to one loan for $9.3 million, secured
by two commercial office buildings, being repaid during fiscal 1997 and the
Bank charging approximately $1.8 million against its loan loss reserves in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997.

     Non-Interest Income:   Non-interest income for the three months ended June
30, 1997, totaled $8.3 million as compared to $6.6 million for the same period
a year ago, an increase of $1.7 million, or 25.2%.

     Consumer banking fees and charges increased 38.3% to $3.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, up from $2.8 million for the same period last
year.  This increase continued to reflect the benefits of growth in consumer
checking accounts and increased fees associated with consumer and commercial
loan activities.

     Although trust and investor services fee income declined 14.7% to $769,000
for the first quarter, down from $901,000 from the same quarter last year,
administered trust assets increased 5.0% to $438.8 million at June 30, 1997,
compared with $418.0 million at June 30, 1996.  The decline in fee income
primarily resulted from lower sales of mutual funds and insurance products sold
through the Bank's retail branches by CitFed Investment Group.  This decrease
was caused by a temporary decline in the number of sales representatives
combined with reduced sales due to market fluctuations.

     Mortgage banking fee income increased by 21.4% in the first quarter to
$2.9 million, compared to $2.4 million for the same period a year ago.  This
increase was due to increases in the Mortgage Company's mortgage loan servicing
portfolio which was $6.1 billion at June 30, 1997, with $4.4 billion of
mortgage loans being serviced for other investors, compared to $4.5 billion at
June 30, 1996, with $3.0 billion of mortgage loans being serviced for other
investors.  The growth in the mortgage servicing portfolio was mainly a result
of purchasing $840 million of mortgage servicing rights during the quarter
ending June 30, 1997.  Mortgage loan closings totaled $261.0 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, compared to $223.0 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996, an increase of 17.1%.

     Non-Interest Expenses:   Non-interest expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 were $14.8 million, compared to $14.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $94,000, or 0.6%.  Normal increases
in operating expenses were offset by the $650,000 decrease in the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") premiums as a result of federal legislation
passed in the previous fiscal year to recapitalize the SAIF fund.

     Income Tax Provision.   The Bank's income tax provision for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, was 30.8%, compared to 30.5% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.

     The $574,000 decrease in non-performing assets from March 31, 1997 to June
30, 1997, was the result of several factors.  Non-accruing one-to four-family
mortgage loans increased $839,000 during the period.  Twenty-six loans totaling
$2.1 million were placed on non-accrual status, 3 loans totaling $216,000 were
transferred to foreclosed assets, 5 loans totaling $162,000 were returned to
accruing status and 9 loans totaling $888,000 million were paid off.

     Non-accruing multi-family and commercial real estate loans increased
$33,000 for the period.   Three loans for $583,000 were added to non-accrual
status, one loan totaling $20,000 was paid in full and one loan for $530,000
was returned to accruing status.

     Foreclosed assets decreased $1.5 million for the period.  Three
residential properties totaling $182,000 (net of $34,000 in loss reserves) were
added, and eleven properties totaling $1.8 million were sold.  Residential
construction costs of $201,000 were incurred during the quarter.  One
commercial property totaling $34,000 was sold.  The reserve for foreclosed
assets increased by $80,000 from a provision of $130,000, offset by net
charge-offs of $50,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


LIQUIDITY--The Corporation conducts its business through its subsidiary,
Citizens Federal and Citizens Federal's subsidiaries.  The main source of funds
for the Corporation are dividends from the Bank.  The Bank meets the OTS
regulatory capital requirements that would allow the Bank to declare and pay
capital distributions to the Corporation.  The Corporation is not subject to
any OTS regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to its
stockholders.  The Board of Directors of the Corporation declared on July 25,
1997, a dividend on its common stock of nine cents ($0.09) per share.  The
dividend will be paid on August 30, 1997 to stockholders of record on August
15, 1997.

     The Bank's principal sources of funds include deposits, advances from the
FHLB, reverse repurchase agreements, repayments on loans and mortgage-backed
securities, maturities of investment securities, proceeds from the sale of
loans, mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale, funds
provided by operations and capital invested by the Corporation.  Investment
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities
are generally a predictable source of funds.  Deposit flows and mortgage
prepayments are influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic
conditions, competition and the restructuring of the thrift industry.
Management also considers the Corporation's interest sensitivity "gap" when
considering alternative sources of funds.  The one year interest rate
sensitivity "gap" is the difference between interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year.  The
Corporation mitigates its exposure to interest rate risk by striving to
maintain a neutral "gap" between the maturities of its interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities.  This strategy results in a more stabilized
net interest margin in periods of either rising or falling interest rates.  At
June 30, 1997, the Corporation's one-year gap was a  negative 7.14%.

     The cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap reflects the Corporation's
sensitivity to interest rate changes over time.  It is a static indicator, and
does not attempt to predict the net interest income of a dynamic business in a
rapidly changing environment.  Significant adjustments are made when the
interest rate outlook changes.  Generally, the Corporation's negative one-year
gap would mean that 7.14% of the Corporation's liabilities will reprice within
one year without a corresponding repricing of the assets funded by them.

     The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as
defined by OTS regulations.  This requirement, which may vary at the discretion
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 5.0%.  While the Bank's liquidity ratio varies from time to time, it
has generally maintained liquid assets substantially in excess of the minimum
requirement.  The Bank's liquid asset ratio was 13.72% at June 30, 1997.



                                                                        Page  14

     Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of
management.  The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon
management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) the projected amount
of loans to be originated by the mortgage banking subsidiary and held for
re-sale, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on
interest-earning deposits, and (v) the objective of its asset/liability
management program.  Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-earning
overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations.  If
Citizens Federal requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally,
the Bank has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and collateral
eligible for reverse repurchase agreements.

     The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet
current loan commitments.  At June 30, 1997, the Bank had commitments to
purchase from CitFed Mortgage loans totaling $47.6 million.  CitFed Mortgage
had commitments to fund loans of $67.1 million and to sell loans of $95.4
million.


CAPITAL--Savings institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation are required to meet three regulatory capital requirements.  If a
requirement is not met, regulatory authorities may take legal or administrative
actions, including restrictions on growth or operations or, in extreme cases,
seizure.  Institutions not in compliance may apply for an exemption from the
requirements and submit a recapitalization plan.  The following table
demonstrates the Bank's compliance with each of these requirements as of June
30, 1997:

     Minimum capital requirements, as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, to determine whether an institution is
well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized became effective December 19,
1992.  Well capitalized institutions are defined as having core capital of at
least 5%, core capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6% and risk-based
capital of at least 10%.  The Bank's ratios at June 30, 1997 were 5.88%, 12.07%
and 13.22%, respectively.  As a result, the Bank meets the capital requirements
of a well capitalized institution.

PART II.     OTHER INFORMATION

    Item 1.         Legal Proceedings

             In August 1995, the Corporation filed suit against the United
             States Government for reneging on contracts with the Bank regarding
             the treatment of supervisory goodwill as capital.  Although, the 
             U.S. Supreme Court recently decided for the plaintiff in three
             pending supervisory goodwill cases involving other entities it is
             uncertain as to how this will affect the Corporation's claim.
