               ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
             Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


(1) Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and balances of
     St. Francis Capital Corporation (the "Company"), St. Francis Bank, F.S.B.
     (the "Bank"), Bank Wisconsin and the Bank's and Bank Wisconsin's
     wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(2) Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited
     and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete
     presentation of financial condition, results of operations or cash flows
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  However, in
     the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
     accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
     statements have been included.  Operating results for the three-month and
     six-month periods ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
     the results which may be expected for the entire year ending September 30,
     1997.  The September 30, 1996 Consolidated Statement of Financial
     Condition presented with the interim financial statements was audited and
     the auditors' report thereon was unqualified.

     Certain previously reported balances have been reclassified to conform
     with the 1997 presentation.


(3) Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
     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
     and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk
     in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial
     statements.  The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent
     of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial
     instruments.

     The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
     the other party to the financial instrument for the commitments to extend
     credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those
     instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making
     commitments and conditional obligations as it does for instruments that
     are reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

     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 of 45 days or less or
     other termination clauses and may require a fee.  Fixed rate loan
     commitments as of March 31, 1997 have interest rates ranging from 7.50% to
     8.50%.  Because some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the
     total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent cash requirements.
     The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer 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.  The Company generally extends credit on a
     secured basis.  Collateral obtained consists primarily of one- to
     four-family residences and other residential and commercial real estate.

     The Company has entered into agreements whereby, for an initial and annual
     fee, it will guarantee payment for an industrial revenue bond issue
     ("IRB").  The IRB was issued by a municipality to finance real estate
     owned by a third party.  Potential losses on the guarantees are the
     notional amount of the guarantees less the value of the real estate
     collateral.  At March 31, 1997, appraised values of the real estate
     collateral exceed the amount of the guarantees.

     Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and
     variable rate interest rate payments without the exchange of the
     underlying notional amount on which the interest rate payments are
     calculated.  The fixed pay-floating receive agreements were entered into
     as hedges of the interest rates on the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB")
     advances used to fund fixed rate securities purchases.  The fixed
     receive-floating pay agreement was entered into as a hedge of the interest
     rate on fixed rate brokered certificates used to fund floating rate
     securities purchases.  Interest receivable or payable on interest rate
     swaps is recognized using the accrual method.  The agreements at March 31,
     1997 consist of the following:

     The fair value of interest rate swaps, which is based on the present value
     of the swap using dealer quotes, represent the estimated amount the
     Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into
     account current interest rates and market volatility.  The interest rate
     swaps are off-balance sheet items; therefore, at March 31, 1997, the gross
     unrealized gains and losses of $533,000 and $189,000, respectively, equals
     the fair value of the interest rate swaps of  $344,000.

     Commitments to purchase and sell mortgage-backed securities are contracts
     which represent notional amounts to purchase and sell mortgage-backed
     securities at a future date and specified price.  Such commitments
     generally have fixed settlement dates.

     The unused and open consumer lines of credit are conditional commitments
     issued by the Company for extensions of credit such as home equity, auto,
     credit card, or other similar consumer type financing.  Furthermore, the
     unused and open commercial lines of credit are also conditional
     commitments issued by the Company for extensions of credit such as working
     capital, agricultural production, equipment or other similar commercial
     type financing.  The credit risk involved in extending lines of credit is
     essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
     customers.  Collateral held for these commitments may include, but may not
     be limited to, real estate, investment securities, equipment, accounts
     receivable, inventory, and Company deposits.

     The open option contracts written represent the notional amounts to buy
     (short-put options) or sell (short-call options) mortgage-backed
     securities at a future date and specified price. The Company receives a
     premium/fee for option contracts written which gives the purchaser the
     right, but not the obligation to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities
     within a specified time period for a contracted price.  The Company has
     been primarily utilizing these items to manage the interest rate and
     market value risk relating to mortgage-backed securities that result from
     the MBS loan swap program and mortgage loan pipeline.

     The commitments to fund equity investments represent amounts St. Francis
     Equity Properties ("SFEP"), a subsidiary of the Bank, is committed to
     invest in low-income housing projects, which would qualify for tax credits
     under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  The Code
     provides a per state volume cap on the amounts of low-income housing tax
     credits ("LIHTCs") that may be taken with respect to low-income housing
     projects in each state.  In order to claim a LIHTC, a credit allocation
     must be received from the appropriate state or local housing development
     authority.  SFEP is currently a limited partner in 24 projects.  At March
     31, 1997, SFEP's equity investments in such projects totaled $16.1
     million.  SFEP has committed to additional equity investments totaling
     $8.6 million in five projects it currently has an investment in and in one
     additional future project within the state of Wisconsin. Additionally, the
     Bank has provided financing or committed to provide financing to 24 of
     these projects.  At March 31, 1997, the Bank had loans outstanding to such
     projects of $23.2 million.  The primary benefit to the Company on these
     projects is in the form of tax credits.

(7)  Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share of common stock for the three-month and six-month
     periods ended March 31, 1997, have been determined by dividing net income
     for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
     and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.  Book value
     per share of common stock at March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996 have
     been determined by dividing total shareholders' equity by the number of
     shares of common stock and common stock equivalents considered outstanding
     at the respective dates. Stock options are regarded as common stock
     equivalents and are, therefore, considered in per share calculations.
     Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method.
     Common shares outstanding have been reduced by the ESOP shares that have
     not been committed to be released.

(8)  Acquisitions

     In February 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Kilbourn State
     Bank for $25.3 million cash.  Under the terms of the agreement, the
     Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Kilbourn State Bank,
     with Kilbourn subsequently merging into Bank Wisconsin, the Company's
     commercial banking subsidiary.  The acquisition was accounted for as a
     purchase.  The related accounts and results of operations are included in
     the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of
     acquisition.

   15

                ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, continued


     The acquisition of Kilbourn State Bank added $93.0 million to assets,
     including additions of $62.6 million to net loans and $67.8 million to
     deposits.

     The excess of cost over the fair value of tangible assets acquired is
     accounted for as goodwill and will be amortized over varying periods of
     fifteen to twenty five years using the straight-line method.  Goodwill of
     this acquisition, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $9.1 million at
     March 31, 1997.

(9)  Changes in Accounting Policy

     In February 1997, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
     128, "Earnings per Share," which is effective for financial statements
     issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  This statement
     simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously found
     in APB No. 15.  It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
     presentation of basic EPS.  It also requires dual presentation of basic
     EPS and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities
     with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the
     numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator
     and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  Earlier application of
     this statement is not permitted.  The Corporation has determined that the
     impact of adoption will not have a material effect on the consolidated
     statements of the Corporation.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets increased $174.9 million or 12.5% to $1.579 billion
at March 31, 1997 from $1.404 billion at September 30, 1996.  Loans receivable,
including loans held for sale, increased $61.7 million. Mortgage-backed and
related securities, including mortgage-backed and related securities available
for sale, increased $32.6 million.  Funding the increase in assets was an
increase in deposits of $141.0 million.  At March 31, 1997, the Company's
financial condition reflects the financial condition of Kilbourn State Bank
since the acquisition was consummated on February 28, 1997.  The acquisition of
Kilbourn State Bank added $93.0 million to total assets, including additions of
$62.6 million to net loans and $67.8 million to deposits.  The Company's ratio
of shareholders' equity to total assets was 8.10% at March 31, 1997, compared
to 8.92% at September 30, 1996.  The Company's book value per share was $23.89
at March 31, 1997, compared to $23.12 at September 30, 1996.

Loans receivable, including mortgage loans held for sale, increased $61.7
million to $692.9 million at March 31, 1997 from $631.3 million at September 30,
1996, primarily due to $62.6 million of loans included in the Kilbourn
acquisition.  The Company currently sells substantially all fixed rate mortgage
loans and retains adjustable-rate loans for its portfolio.  Additionally, the
Company has increased its emphasis on consumer and interim financing products,
which are primarily retained in the Company's loan portfolio.  The loan
originations were funded primarily by the increase in deposits and are
consistent with the Company's efforts to build earning assets. For the six
months ended March 31, 1997, the Company originated approximately $156.0 million
in loans, as compared to $140.8 million for the same period in the prior year. 
Of the $156.0 million in loans originated, $12.5 million were in commercial
loans, $64.5 million were in consumer and interim financing loans and $79.0
million were in first mortgage loans.

Mortgage-backed and related securities, including mortgage-backed and related
securities available for sale, increased $32.6 million to $620.8 million at
March 31, 1997 from $588.2 million at September 30, 1996.  The increase was the
result of the Company purchasing adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and
short- and medium-term REMIC securities.  At March 31, 1997, private-issue
mortgage-backed securities, CMO's and REMIC's totaled $456.9 million.
Private-issue MBS's represent a significant portion of the Company's portfolio
due to the Company's view of the benefit of higher interest rates generally
available on private issue MBS's versus the additional credit risk associated
with such securities in comparison with agency MBS's.  The Company has been an
active purchaser of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities as well as
short-term mortgage-related securities because of the lower level of interest
rate risk and low credit risk in relation to the interest earned on such
securities.  However, repayments and sales of existing securities have
partially offset the increases.

Deposits increased $141.0 million to $1.02 billion at March 31, 1997 from
$877.7 million at September 30, 1996.  The increase in deposits was primarily
due to an increase of $67.8 million from the Kilbourn State Bank acquisition
and an increase of $63.8 million in money market demand account deposits.  The
Company has continued to offer new deposit products in an effort to attract new
deposits and maintain current relationships with customers. Significant new
deposit products offered which have contributed to the increase include
certificates of deposit and a money market demand account with an interest rate
tied to a nationally recognized money market index.  At March 31, 1997, the
Company had approximately $128.6 million in brokered certificates of deposit
compared with $138.6 million at September 30, 1996.  The brokered deposits are
generally of terms from three months to two years in maturity with interest
rates that approximate the Company's retail certificate rates.  Although the
Company has experienced growth in its deposit liabilities during the six months
ended March 31, 1997, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue
in the future, nor can there be any assurance the Company will retain the
deposits it now has.*  The level of deposit flows during any given period is
heavily influenced by factors such as the general level of interest rates as
well as alternative yields that investors may obtain on competing instruments,
such as money market mutual funds.

Advances and other borrowings increased by $43.0 million to $418.1 million at
March 31, 1997 from $375.0 million at September 30, 1996.  The Company
primarily uses borrowed funds to fund purchases of mortgage-backed and related
securities.  At March 31, 1997, the Company had a borrowing capacity available
of $147.0 million from the FHLB, however, additional securities may have to be
pledged as collateral.


At March 31, 1997, the Company had $70.0 million in interest rate swaps
outstanding compared with $55.0 million at September 30, 1996.  The swaps are
designed to offset the changing interest payments of some of the Company's
borrowings and brokered certificates.  Fixed pay-floating receive swaps totaled
$55.0 million at March 31, 1997 and were entered into to hedge interest rates
on borrowings from the FHLB used to fund purchases of fixed rate securities.
Fixed pay-floating receive swaps will provide for a lower interest expense (or
interest income) in a rising rate environment while adding to interest expense
in a falling rate environment.  Floating receive-fixed pay swaps totaled $15.0
million at March 31, 1997 and were entered into to hedge interest rates on
brokered deposits used to fund the purchase of floating rate securities.
Floating receive-fixed pay swaps will provide for a lower interest expense (or
interest income) in a falling rate environment while adding to interest expense
in a rising rate environment.  During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the
Company recorded a net reduction of interest expense of $127,000 as a result of
the Company's interest rate swap agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME.  Net income for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $6.1 million
compared to $8.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996.  Net income
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $3.0 million compared to $4.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease for the six
month period was

the result of a decrease in other operating income, which consisted primarily of
a $2.6 million decrease in gains on the sale of mortgage-backed and related
securities, coupled with a $2.7 million increase in general and administrative
expenses, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in income tax expense. The
decrease for the three month period was the result of a decrease in other
operating income, which consisted primarily of a $1.5 million decrease in gains
on the sale of mortgage-backed and related securities, coupled with a $1.3
million increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a
$1.2 million decrease in income tax expense. The following table shows the
return on average assets and return on average equity ratios for each period:

                            -------------------------------------
                             1997      1996      1997       1996
                            ------    ------    ------     ------
                                              
Return on average assets... 0.85%      1.36%     0.83%      1.36%
Return on average equity... 9.73%     12.09%     9.46%     12.49%


NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income before provision for loans losses
increased $788,000 or 4.5% and  $379,000 or 4.2% for the six and three months
ended March 31, 1997, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior
year.  The net interest margin was 2.73% and 3.04% for the six months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 2.79% and 3.05% for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decline in the net interest
margin in both periods is due to decreasing interest rate spreads that the
Company has been experiencing in its asset and liability base and a changing
asset mix which includes a higher level of non-interest earning assets.  The
Company increased its investment in affordable housing units to $41.4 million
at March 31, 1997 compared with $27.8 million at March 31, 1996.  This
investment strategy provides returns primarily through income tax credits but
is not an interest earning asset and thus has the effect of decreasing the
Company's net interest margin.

Total interest income increased $5.9 million or 13.2% to $50.5 million for the
six months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $44.6 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1996, and increased $2.8 million or 12.2% to $25.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $22.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in interest income was primarily the
result of increases in interest on loans and securities.  The increase in
interest on loans was due to an increase in the average balance of loans to
$645.8 million from $529.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively, partially offset by decreases in the average yield on loans
to 8.35% from 8.63% for the same period in the prior year.  The increase in net
interest income on loans for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared
with the three months ended March 31, 1996 was the result of an increase in the
average balance of loans to $654.9 million from $534.6 million, partially
offset by decreases in the average yield on loans to 8.45% from 8.67% for the
same period in the prior year.  The decrease in the average yield is primarily
due to the Company now selling substantially all new originations of initially
higher yielding long-term, fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans in the
secondary market and retaining new originations of  initially lower yielding
adjustable-rate single family mortgage loans.  The increase in the average
balance of loans is due primarily to the Company's recent efforts to emphasize
commercial, consumer and home equity lending in addition to the Kilbourn State
Bank acquisition.  The increase in interest income on mortgage-backed and
related securities was due to an increase in the average balance of such
securities to $584.1 million from $535.2 million for the six months ended March
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, partially offset by decreases in the average
yield on such securities to 6.92% from 7.11% for the same periods.  The
increase in net interest income on mortgage-backed and related securities for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared with the three months ended
March 31, 1996 was primarily the result of an increase in the average balance 
of securities to $588.2 million from $563.1 million, partially offset by 
decreases in the average yield on such securities

to 7.07% from 7.16% for the same periods.  The Company has been active during
the past year repositioning its available for sale mortgage-backed and related
securities portfolio by selling significant amounts of securities and replacing
them with securities with more favorable maturity positions and characteristics
which reflect the Company's overall asset/liability management strategies.

Total interest expense increased $5.1 million or 18.9% to $32.2 million for the
six months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $27.1 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1996.  For the three months ended March 31, 1997, total
interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 17.4%, to $16.3 million compared to
$13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in
interest expense was the result of increases in the average balances of
deposits and advances and other borrowings as well as a slight increase in the
cost of deposits.  The average balances of deposits were $874.0 million and
$889.2 million for the six and three months ended March 31, 1997, respectively,
as compared to $714.5 million and $755.2 million for the same periods in the
prior year.  The increases in the balances of deposits are due to the Company's
offering of additional deposit products, the use of brokers to sell
certificates of deposit and the Kilbourn State Bank acquisition.  The average
cost of deposits increased slightly to 4.99% and 5.01% for the six and three
months ended March 31, 1997, respectively, from 4.98% and 4.99% for the same
periods in the prior year.  Deposit rates paid by the Company reflected the
general increase in market rates of interest as a result of the increased
competition with other financial products offered in the marketplace.  The
average balance of advances and other borrowings were $383.3 million and $396.0
million for the six and three months ended March 31, 1997, respectively, as
compared to $334.5 million and $333.1 million for the same periods in the prior
year. The average cost of advances and other borrowings decreased to 5.46% and
5.45% for the six and three months ended March 31, 1997, respectively, from
5.56% and 5.46% for the same periods in the prior year.  The borrowings are
primarily adjustable-rate FHLB advances which have repriced to reflect the
slight decrease in rate levels associated with the respective borrowing rate
indexes from the same period in the prior year.

The following table sets forth information regarding:  (1) average assets and
liabilities, (2) average yield on assets and average cost on liabilities, (3)
net interest margin, (4) net interest rate spread, and (5) the ratio of earning
assets to interest-bearing liabilities for the six- and three-month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide
for potential losses as of March 31, 1997, based upon its current evaluation of
loan delinquencies, non-performing loans, charge-off trends, economic
conditions and other factors.  The increase in the provision for loan losses in
the current quarter reflects the continued growth in the Company's loan
portfolio and also reflects the Company's increased mix of higher yielding,
higher risk loans.  Repossessed autos sold during the six and three months
ended March 31, 1997 resulted in charge-offs of $1.1 million and $0.7 million,
respectively.  It is anticipated that as more loans default and repossessed
autos are sold, additional charge-offs will be incurred.*  The Company believes
that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for potential
anticipated losses based upon current known conditions.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME.  Other operating income decreased by $2.3 million and
$1.5 million for the six and three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the
same periods in the prior year. The following table shows the percentage of
other operating income to average assets for each period:

The decreases were due primarily to decreases in gains on investments and
mortgage-backed and related securities, partially offset by an increase in
gains on trading account activity and income from the Company's affordable
housing subsidiary.  Gains on investments and mortgage-backed and related
securities decreased $2.6 million to

$627,000, and $1.5 million to $151,000, for the six and three months
ended March 31, 1997, respectively, compared to gains of $3.3 million and $1.7
million for the same periods in the prior year.  However, the Company does not
consider gains on the sales of securities as a predictable source of earnings
as such sales are primarily based on the Company's ongoing review of the
individual securities within the Company's available for sale portfolio whereby
securities may be sold and replaced with ones that offer a better combination
of interest income, interest rate risk or credit risk than the security sold.
Gain/(loss) on foreclosed properties decreased to a loss of $7,000 and a gain
of $7,000 for the six and three months ended March 31, 1997, respectively,
compared to gains of $872,000 and $740,000 for the same periods in the prior
year.  For the six and three months ended March 31, 1996, the gains were the
result of the sale of one foreclosed property which had a carrying value of
$5.8 million.  The gain on sale of this property was $684,000.  Gains from the
trading account were $507,000 and $122,000 for the six and three months ended
March 31, 1997, respectively, compared to a gain of $109,000 and a loss of
$19,000 for the same periods in the prior year.  The increase in trading gains
was the result of the sale of mortgage-backed securities which the Company had
exchanged for its own mortgage loans ("loan swaps").  This method of selling
the Company's salable mortgage production is required, under accounting rules,
to be accounted for as a "trading" activity, and as such, the resulting
realized and unrealized gains or losses are classified as trading income.  The
level of trading gains may fluctuate due to the volume of originations of
single-family mortgage loans which in turn can fluctuate due to changes in
interest rates.  Sales of loans for cash as opposed to loan swaps are recorded
as sales of mortgage loans in the income statement.  The operations of the
Company's affordable housing subsidiary had increases in income (which
represents primarily rental income) of $571,000 and $454,000 for the six and
three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same periods in the
previous year.  The Company currently has nineteen properties fully in
operation compared to twelve in the prior year.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
increased by $2.7 million  or 20.3% and $1.3 million or 18.5% for the six and
three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same periods in the prior
year.  The following table shows the percentage of general and administrative
expenses to average assets for each period:

The increases were due primarily to increased levels of compensation and other
costs associated with the Kilbourn State Bank acquisition, the opening of three
new branches and a centralized call center, and other increased activity
connected with the Company's higher level of earning assets.  The affordable
housing subsidiary showed increases in operating expenses of $751,000 and
$630,000 for the six and three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the
same periods in the prior year.  The Company currently has nineteen properties
fully in operation compared to twelve in the prior year.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense decreased to $1.4 million and $655,000
for the six and three months ended March 31, 1997 from $3.6 million and $1.8
million for the six and three months ended March 31, 1996.  The effective tax
rate for the six and three months ended March 31, 1997 was 18.39% and 18.04%,   
respectively compared with 30.04% and 29.89% for the six and three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The decrease in effective rates reflects the effect of the tax
credits earned by the Company's affordable housing subsidiary. Income tax
credits increased to $1.4 million and $719,000, for the six and three months
ended March 31, 1997, compared to $756,000 and $397,000 for the same periods in
the prior year.

ASSET QUALITY

Total non-performing assets were $4.0 million or 0.26% of total assets at March
31, 1997, unchanged from the $4.0 million or 0.28% of total assets at September
30, 1996.  Non-performing assets include loans which have been placed on
nonaccrual status and property upon which a judgment of foreclosure has been
entered but prior to the foreclosure sale, as well as property acquired as a
result of foreclosure.

Non-performing assets as of March 31, 1997 included $3.1 million of purchased
auto loans which are past due or in default.  These auto loans were purchased
in 1995 and 1996 under a warehouse financing arrangement the Company had with
the originator of the sub-prime automobile loans.  The intent of the financing
was to warehouse the loans until the originator could originate sufficient
quantities to securitize the loans and sell to institutional investors.  At
that time, the loans would be sold back to the originator.  The loans were
serviced by an independent third party servicer and the loans had various
levels of insurance and in addition were guaranteed as to principal and
interest payments by the originator of the loans.  The maximum amount that the
Company had outstanding at any  point in time was a balance of $14.6 million
during February, 1996.  The Company has not funded any loans since that time
and as of March 31, 1997, the balance of the sub-prime auto loans was $3.1
million compared to $7.7 million at September 30, 1996.  During the six months
ended March 31, 1997, $2.7 million of loans were sold back to the originator
for face value plus a gain of $50,000 which was treated as a recovery.  Actions
have been taken to repossess the collateral on the delinquent loans and to
enforce the guarantee of the originator of these loans; however, it is
anticipated that some portion of these loans will ultimately result in a
charge-off due to the possible inability of the originator to perform under its
guaranty.*  In addition, the level of insurance collected on policies paying
for credit losses on the loans has been lower than anticipated.  The Company is
still pursuing repossession and disposition of the autos and enforcement of the
guarantee of the originator.  Repossessed autos sold during the six and three
months ended March 31, 1997 resulted in charge-offs of $1.1 million and
$719,000.  It is anticipated that as more loans default and the repossessed
autos are sold, additional charge-offs will be incurred.*  The Company believes
that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for potential
anticipated losses based upon current known conditions.

Non-performing assets are summarized as follows:

There are no material loans about which management is aware that there exists

except as disclosed above.

Impaired loans totaled $3.1 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $3.6 million
at September 30, 1996.  These loans had associated impairment reserves of
$1.2 million and $1.1 million at March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996,
respectively.  The average balance of impaired loans was $3.5 million and $1.4
million at March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996, respectively.  No interest
income was recorded in either reporting period.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Asset and liability management is an ongoing process of managing asset and
liability maturities to control the interest rate risk of the Company.
Management controls this risk through pricing of assets and liabilities and
maintaining specific levels of maturities.  In recent periods, management's
strategy has been to (1) sell substantially all new originations of long-term,
fixed-rate, single-family mortgage loans in the secondary market, (2) invest in
various adjustable-rate and short-term mortgage-backed and related securities,
(3) invest in adjustable-rate, single-family mortgage loans, and (4) increase
its investments in consumer and commercial loans with generally shorter
interest rate characteristics.  Although management believes that its
asset/liability management strategies have reduced the potential effects of
changes in interest rates on its operations, increases in interest rates may
adversely affect the Company's results of operations because interest-bearing
liabilities will reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets.

At March 31, 1997, the Company's estimated cumulative one-year gap between
assets and liabilities was a negative 9.23% of total assets.  A negative gap
occurs when a greater dollar amount of interest-bearing liabilities are
repricing or maturing than interest earning assets.  The Company's three-year
cumulative gap as of March 31, 1997 was a negative 6.25% of total assets.  With
a negative gap position, during periods of rising interest rates it is expected
that the cost of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities will rise more
quickly than the yield on its interest-earning assets, which will have a
negative effect on its net interest income.*  Although the opposite effect on
net interest income would occur in periods of falling interest rates, the
Company could experience substantial prepayments of its fixed-rate mortgage
loans and mortgage-backed and related securities in periods of falling interest
rates, which would result in the reinvestment of such proceeds at market rates
which are lower than current rates.*

(1)  Adjustable and floating rate assets are included in the period in which
     interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in
     which they are due, and fixed  rate assets are included in the periods in
     which they are scheduled to be repaid based on scheduled amortization, in
     each case adjusted to take into account estimated prepayments utilizing
     the Company's historical prepayment statistics, modified for forecasted
     statistics using the Public Securities Association model of prepayments.*
     For fixed rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and related securities,
     annual prepayment rates ranging from 8% to 30%, based on the loan coupon
     rate, were used.

(2)  Balances have been reduced for undisbursed loan proceeds, unearned
     insurance premiums, deferred loan fees, purchased loan discounts and
     allowances for loan losses, which aggregated $34.4 million at March 31,
     1997.

(3)  Although the Company's negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts,
     passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts generally are
     subject to immediate withdrawal, management considers a certain portion of
     such accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer effective
     maturities based on the Company's retention of such deposits in changing
     interest rate environments.  NOW accounts, passbook savings accounts and
     money market deposit accounts are assumed to be withdrawn at annual rates
     of 37%, 17% and 88%, respectively, of the declining balance of such
     accounts during the period shown.  The withdrawal rates used are higher
     than the Company's historical rates but are considered by management to be
     more indicative of expected withdrawal rates in a rising interest rate
     environment.  If all the Company's NOW accounts, passbook savings accounts
     and money market deposit accounts had been assumed to be repricing within
     one year, the one-year cumulative deficiency of interest-earning assets to
     interest-bearing liabilities would have been $289.8 million or 19.97% of
     total assets.

(4)  Adjustable and floating rate borrowings are included in the period in
     which their interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the
     period in which they are due.

            Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued



Assumptions regarding the withdrawal and prepayment are based on historical
experience, and management believes such assumptions reasonable, although the
actual withdrawal and repayment of assets and liabilities may vary
substantially.*  Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis
presented in the gap table.  For example, although certain assets and
liabilities may have similar maturities to repricing, they may react in
different degrees to changes in market interest rates.*  Also, the interest
rates on other types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of
changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag
behind changes in market rates.*  Additionally, certain assets, such as
adjustable-rate loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, have features
which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the
life of the asset.  Further, in the event of a change in interest rates,
prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those
assumed in calculating the data in the table.*


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include
investments in highly-liquid, short-term investments.  The level of these
assets is dependent on the Company's operating, financing and investing
activities during any given period.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $80.8
million and $22.5 million as of March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996,
respectively.

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, including brokered
certificates, borrowings from the FHLB and proceeds from principal and interest
payments on loans and mortgage-backed and related securities.  Although
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of
funds, deposit flows, prepayments on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and
related securities are influenced significantly by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.  Additionally, the Bank is limited by the
FHLB to borrowing up to 35% of its assets.  At March 31, 1997, the Company had
a borrowing capacity available of $147.0 million from the FHLB, however,
additional securities may have to be pledged as collateral.

Under federal and state laws and regulations, the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries are required to meet certain tangible, core and risk-based capital
requirements.  Tangible capital generally consists of shareholders' equity
minus certain intangible assets.  Core capital generally consists of tangible
capital plus qualifying intangible assets.  The risk-based capital requirements
presently address credit risk related to both recorded and off-balance sheet
commitments and obligations.

Bank Wisconsin is required to follow FDIC capital adequacy guidelines which
prescribe minimum levels of capital and require that institutions meet certain
risk-based and leverage capital requirements.  Under the FDIC capital
regulations, Bank Wisconsin is required to meet the following capital
standards: (i)  "Tier 1 capital" in an amount not less than 3% of total assets;
(ii)  "Tier 1 capital" in an amount not less than 4% of risk-weighted assets;
and (iii) "total capital" in an amount not less than 8% of risk-weighted
assets.

The following table summarizes Bank Wisconsin's capital ratios at the dates
indicated:

            Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued


The changes in the capital amounts from September 30, 1996 to March 31, 1997
are primarily due to the aforementioned Kilbourn State Bank acquisition.

The Bank is required to follow OTS capital regulations which require savings
institutions to meet three capital standards: (i) "tangible capital" in an
amount not less than 1.5% of adjusted total assets; (ii) "core capital" in an
amount not less than 3% of adjusted total assets; and (iii) "risk-based
capital" of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.  Savings institutions must
meet all of the standards in order to comply with the capital requirements.

The following table summarizes the Bank's capital ratios at the dates
indicated:




                            March 31, 1997    September 30, 1996
                           ----------------   -------------------
                               Capital             Capital

 Capital Standard          Amount   Percent    Amount     Percent
- - ------------------         -------  -------   --------   --------
                                   (Dollars in thousands)
                                            
Tangible capital            91,904    6.72%     89,092      6.86%
Core capital                91,904    6.72%     89,092      6.86%
Risk-based capital          94,799   12.75%     92,764     13.12%


As evidenced by the foregoing, the capital of each of the Company's financial
institution subsidiaries exceeded all capital requirements as mandated by the
requirements of the FDIC and OTS.
