NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto of London Financial Corporation ("LFC" or the
"Corporation") included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
September 30, 1997. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The
results of operations for the six and three month periods ended March 31, 1998,
are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an
entire fiscal year.
2. Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LFC
and The Citizens Loan & Savings Company ("Citizens"). All significant
intercompany items have been eliminated.
3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average shares
outstanding during the period, less shares in the London Financial Corp.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") that are unallocated and not
committed to be released. Weighted-average common shares outstanding, which
gives effect to 33,856 unallocated ESOP shares, totaled 476,304 for each of the
six and three month periods ended March 31, 1998. Weighted-average common shares
deemed outstanding, which gives effect to 42,320 unallocated ESOP shares,
totaled 482,573 for each of the six and three month periods ended March 31,
1997.
Diluted earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common shares
outstanding and dilutive potential common shares to be issued under LFC's stock
option plan. Weighted-average common shares deemed outstanding for purposes of
computing diluted earnings per share totaled 495,350 and 495,359 for the six and
three month periods ended March 31, 1998, respectively, and 484,964 for each of
the six and three month periods ended March 31, 1997.
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", that provides
accounting guidance on transfers of financial assets, servicing of financial
assets, and extinguishment of liabilities. SFAS No. 125 introduces an approach
to accounting for transfers of financial assets that provides a means of dealing
with more complex transactions in which the seller disposes of only a partial
interest in the assets, retains rights or obligations, makes use of special
purpose

For the six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
entities in the transaction, or otherwise has continuing involvement with the
transferred assets. The new accounting method, the financial components
approach, provides that the carrying amount of the financial assets transferred
be allocated to components of the transaction based on their relative fair
values. SFAS No. 125 provides criteria for determining whether control of assets
has been relinquished and whether a sale has occurred. If the transfer does not
qualify as a sale, it is accounted for as a secured borrowing. Transactions
subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 125 include, among others, transfers
involving repurchase agreements, securitizations of financial assets, loan
participations, factoring arrangements, and transfers of receivables with
recourse.
An entity that undertakes an obligation to service financial assets recognizes
either a servicing asset or liability for the servicing contract (unless related
to a securitization of assets, and all the securitized assets are retained and
classified as held-to-maturity). A servicing asset or liability that is
purchased or assumed is initially recognized at its fair value. Servicing assets
and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated
net servicing income or net servicing loss and are subject to subsequent
assessments for impairment based on fair value.
SFAS No. 125 provides that a liability is removed from the balance sheet only if
the debtor either pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation for the
liability or is legally released from being the primary obligor.
SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1997, and is to be
applied prospectively. Earlier or retroactive application is not permitted.
Management adopted SFAS No. 125 effective January 1, 1998, as required, without
material effect on LFC's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items
that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with
the same prominence as other financial statements. It does not require a
specific format for that financial statement but requires that an enterprise
display an amount representing total comprehensive income for the period in that
financial statement.
SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained
earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of
financial position. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods
provided for comparative purposes is required. SFAS No. 130 is not expected to
have a material impact on LFC's financial statements.

London Financial Corporation
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
For the six month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 significantly changes the way
that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about reportable segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. SFAS No. 131 uses a
"management approach" to disclose financial and descriptive information about
the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making
operating decisions and assessing performance. For many enterprises, the
management approach will likely result in more segments being reported. In
addition, SFAS No. 131 requires significantly more information to be disclosed
for each reportable segment than is presently being reported in annual financial
statements and also requires that selected information be reported in interim
financial statements. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. SFAS No.
131 is not expected to have a material impact on LFC's financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Economic circumstances, the Corporation's operations and the Corporation's
actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy
and interest rates in the nation and the Corporation's market area generally.
Some of the forward-looking statements included herein are the statements
regarding management's determination of the amount and adequacy of the allowance
for losses on loans, the effects of the year 2000 on certain information
technology systems and the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements.
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from September 30, 1997 to March 31,
1998
At March 31, 1998, LFC had total assets of $37.0 million, a decrease of $1.2
million, or 3.1%, from September 30, 1997. The decrease in assets resulted
primarily from the $5.00 per share return of capital distribution, totaling $2.5
million, which was paid to LFC's shareholders in November, 1997, which was
partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in deposits.
Investment securities and mortgage-backed securities decreased by $974,000, to a
total of $3.3 million at March 31, 1998, reflecting the maturity of investment
securities totaling approximately $500,000 and principal repayments on
mortgage-backed securities of $481,000.
Loans receivable decreased by $240,000, or .8%, as loan disbursements of $4.1
million were exceeded by principal repayments of $4.4 million.
At March 31, 1998, Citizens' allowance for loan losses totaled $187,000, which
equaled the level maintained at September 30, 1997. Nonperforming loans totaled
$9,000, or .1% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 1998, as compared to
nonperforming loans of $268,000, or .9% of the total loan portfolio at September
30, 1997. At March 31, 1998, Citizens' allowance for loan losses was comprised
solely of a general loan loss allowance which is includible as a component of
regulatory risk-based capital. Although management of LFC believes that its
allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31, 1998, based on the available
facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that the allowance will be
adequate to absorb actual loan losses during the current period or that
additions to such allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which could
adversely affect LFC's results of operations.
Deposits totaled $31.2 million at March 31, 1998, an increase of $1.2 million,
or 4.1%, over the $30.0 million of deposits outstanding at September 30, 1997.
Such increase resulted primarily from management's efforts to increase deposits
through marketing strategies.

London Financial Corporation
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from September 30, 1997 to March 31,
1998 (continued)
Shareholders' equity totaled $5.3 million at March 31, 1998, a decrease of $2.3
million, or 29.9%, from September 30, 1997, levels. The decrease resulted
primarily from the $2.6 million, or $5.00 per share, return of capital
distribution paid to LFC's shareholders in November, 1997, coupled with regular
dividends totaling $61,000, or $.12 per share, which were partially offset by
net earnings of $239,000.
Citizens is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet certain
minimum capital standards promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision. As of
March 31, 1998, Citizens' regulatory capital was well in excess of such minimum
capital requirements.
Comparison of Operating Results For the Six Month Periods Ended March 31, 1998
and 1997
General
Net earnings for the six month period ended March 31, 1998, totaled $239,000, an
increase of $63,000, or 35.8%, over the comparable 1997 period. The increase in
earnings resulted primarily from a $24,000 increase in net interest income and a
$75,000 increase in other income, which were partially offset by an $8,000
increase in the provision for losses on loans and a $26,000 increase in the
federal income tax provision.
Net Interest Income
Interest income on loans and mortgage-backed securities increased by $118,000,
or 9.2%, for the six months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the six months
ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to a $737,000 increase in
the weighted average portfolio balance outstanding year to year, coupled with an
increase in yield. Interest income on investment securities and other
interest-earning assets decreased by $29,000, or 25.9%, due primarily to a
decrease in yields available on short-term deposits.
Interest expense on deposits increased by $48,000, or 6.9%, during the six
months ended March 31, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from a $1.8
million increase in the weighted average balance of deposits outstanding.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $17,000, or 100.0%, due to an
increase in borrowings outstanding during the period, as LFC borrowed $1.4
million to partially fund the special $5.00 per share distribution paid in
November 1997.

London Financial Corporation
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Operating Results For the Six Month Periods Ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 (continued)
Net Interest Income (continued)
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense,
net interest income increased by $24,000, or 3.5%, during the six months ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 1997. The interest
rate spread totaled approximately 3.21% for the six months ended March 31, 1998,
compared to 2.96% for the same period in 1997, while the net interest margin
increased to approximately 4.29% in the 1998 period from 3.84% in the 1997
period.
Provision for Losses on Loans
A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based
on historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by Citizens,
the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic
conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to Citizens' market area, and
other factors related to the collectibility of Citizen's loan portfolio. The
provision for losses on loans totaled $8,000 for the six months ended March 31,
1998. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance of Citizens will be
adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future.
Other Income
Other income totaled $106,000 during the six months ended March 31, 1998, an
increase of $75,000, or 241.9% over the same period in 1997. The increase
resulted primarily from a $6,000 gain realized upon the call of a $500,000 U.S.
Government agency bond and a $69,000 gain on the sale of equity securities.
Other operating income is comprised primarily of service fees on deposit
accounts, late charges on loan accounts and rental income on leased office space
and safety deposit boxes.
General, Administrative and Other Expense
General, administrative and other expense increased by approximately $2,000, or
.4%, during the six months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to 1997, reflecting
the $13,000, or 56.5%, decline in federal deposit insurance premiums, due to
lower premium rates during the period and a decrease in other expenses totaling
$6,000, or 4.7%, while employee compensation and benefits increased by $17,000,
or 8.3%.
Federal Income Taxes
The provision for federal income taxes increased by $26,000, or 28.3%, during
the six months ended March 31, 1998, due primarily to an increase in earnings
before taxes of $89,000, or 33.2%. LFC's effective tax rates amounted to 33.1%
and 34.3% during the six months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

London Financial Corporation
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Operating Results For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1998
and 1997
General
Net earnings for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, totaled $118,000,
an increase of $37,000, or 45.7%, over the comparable 1997 period. The increase
in earnings resulted primarily from a $68,000 increase in other income, which
was partially offset by a $6,000 increase in the provision for losses on loans
and a $14,000 decrease in net interest income.
Net Interest Income
Interest income on loans for the three months ended March 31, 1998, increased by
$36,000, or 6.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. The
increase was primarily due to a $670,000 increase in the weighted-average
balance outstanding. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by
$8,000, or 13.3%, due primarily to a $558,000 decrease in the weighted-average
portfolio balance outstanding year to year. Interest income on investment
securities and other interest-earning assets decreased by $18,000, or 35.3%, due
primarily to the sale of investment securities during the current period.
Interest expense on deposits increased by $26,000, or 7.6%, during the three
months ended March 31, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from a $1.9
million increase in the weighted average balance of deposits outstanding, which
was offset by a decrease in the cost of deposits.
Interest expense on borrowings decreased by $2,000, or 20.0%, during the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the
weighted-average balance of advances outstanding.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense,
net interest income decreased by $14,000, or 4.0%, during the three months ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. The
interest rate spread totaled approximately 3.12% for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, compared to 3.15% for the same period in 1997, while the net
interest margin decreased to approximately 3.72% in the 1998 period from 3.93%
in the 1997 period.
Other Income
Other income totaled $84,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1998, an
increase of $68,000 over the three month period ended March 31, 1997, due
primarily to a $69,000 gain on sale of equity securities during the 1998
quarter. Other operating income is comprised primarily of service fees on
deposit accounts, late charges on loan accounts and rental income on leased
office space and safety deposit boxes.

London Financial Corporation
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Operating Results For the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 (continued)
General, Administrative and Other Expense
General, administrative and other expense decreased by approximately $2,000, or
.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to 1997. The
decrease was primarily comprised of a $19,000, or 23.8%, decrease in other
operating expense relating to professional fees during 1998 compared to 1997,
which was partially offset by a $12,000, or 12.2%, increase in employee
compensation and benefits.
Federal Income Taxes
The provision for federal income taxes increased by $13,000, or 30.2%, for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.
LFC's effective tax rates amounted to 32.2% and 34.7% during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Other Matters
As with all providers of financial services, Citizens' operations are heavily
dependent on information technology systems. Citizens is addressing the
potential problems associated with the possibility that the computers that
control or operate Citizens' information technology system and infrastructure
may not be programmed to read four-digit date codes and, upon arrival of the
year 2000, may recognize the two-digit code "00" as the year 1900, causing
systems to fail to function or to generate erroneous data. Citizens is working
with the companies that supply or service its information technology systems to
identify and remedy any year 2000 related problems.
As of the date of this Form 10-QSB, Citizens has not identified any specific
expenses that are reasonably likely to be incurred by Citizens in connection
with this issue and does not expect to incur significant expense to implement
the necessary corrective measures. No assurance can be given, however, that
significant expense will not be incurred in future periods. In the event that
Citizens is ultimately required to purchase replacement computer systems,
programs and equipment, or incur substantial expense to make Citizens' current
systems, programs and equipment year 2000 compliant, LFC's net earnings and
financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition to possible expense related to its own systems, LFC could incur
losses if loan payments are delayed due to year 2000 problems affecting any
major borrowers in Citizens' primary market area. Because Citizens' loan
portfolio is highly diversified with regard to individual borrowers and types of
businesses and Citizens' primary market area is not significantly dependent upon
one employer or industry, Citizens does not expect any significant or prolonged
difficulties that will affect net earnings or cash flow.
