_______________________________________ See notes to consolidated financial statements. (1)/(1)/ Unaudited 5 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in thousands, except per share data) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. ("First Midwest") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Management, all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The preparation of financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 data to conform to the 1998 presentation. For further information with respect to significant accounting policies followed by First Midwest in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, refer to First Midwest's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. On October 1, 1997, First Midwest acquired SparBank, Incorporated ("SparBank"), whose principal subsidiary was McHenry State Bank ("MSB"), in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, prior period financial statements and other financial disclosures have been restated as if the combining entities hashad been consolidated for all periods presented. SparBank had total assets and stockholders' equity of approximately $437 million and $52 million, respectively, as of October 1, 1997. EARNINGS PER SHARE - Effective December 31, 1997, First Midwest adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 128 ("FASB No. 128"), "Earnings Per Share" which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with earnings per common share ("basic EPS") which is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The basic EPS computation excludes the dilutive effect of all common stock equivalents. Further, FASB No. 128 requires additional disclosures including dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the Statement of Income for all periods presented. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. First Midwest's potential common shares represent shares issuable under its stock option plans. Such common stock equivalents are computed based on the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period. In accordance with FASB No. 128, First Midwest has restated all prior period earnings per share. Further disclosures are presented in Note 8: Earnings Per Common Share. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTPRONOUNCEMENTS - FASB NO. 131 AND 133 In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FASB No. 131") which establishes standards for public companies to report certain financial information about operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. Operating segments are components of a business about which separate financial information is available and that are evaluated regularly by company management in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The statement also requires public companies to report certain information about their products, services and the geographic areas in which they operate. FASB No. 131 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The statement does not need to be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of its application, but such comparative information will be required in interim statements the second year. At this time, Management is assessing this statement for and has not determined whether the new reporting provisions will require supplemental disclosures by First Midwest. If applicable, however, First Midwest will begin reporting segment information in the 1998 annual consolidated financial statements. In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("FASB No. 133" or "the Statement"). The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. FASB No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related changes in value of the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that qualify for hedge accounting. FASB 6 No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. A company may also implement the Statement as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16, 1998 and thereafter). FASB No. 133 cannot be applied retroactively; it must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997 ( and, at the company's election, before January 1, 1998). Management has not yet determined what the effect of FASB No. 133 will be on First Midwest's financial position or results of operations. 2. ACQUISITION The acquisition of SparBank was affected through a merger of First Midwest and SparBank, that was structured as a tax-free exchange and accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, and resulted in the issuance of 3,231 shares of First Midwest common stock to SparBank stockholders. As a result of the merger, SparBank's only subsidiary, McHenry State Bank ("MSB"), became a subsidiary of First Midwest. On February 23, 1998, MSB was merged into First Midwest's principal banking subsidiary, First Midwest Bank, National Association. Coincident with the acquisition, First Midwest recorded $6,742 in costs consisting of $5,446 in acquisition expenses and $1,296 in provisions for loan losses incident to conforming MSB's credit policies to First Midwest's.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Effective January 1, 1998, First Midwest adopted FASB Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FASB No. 130") which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income is the total of income and all other revenues, expenses, gains and losses, that, under generally accepted accounting principles, bypass reported net income. FASB No. 130 requires First Midwest's unrealized gains or losses (net of tax) on securities available for sale to be included in other comprehensive income, which, prior to adoption, were reported separately in stockholders' equity. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of FASB No. 130. The components of comprehensive income, net of related taxes, for the threequarters and six months ended March 31,June 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The discussion presented below provides an analysis of First Midwest's results of operations and financial condition for threethe quarters and six months ended March 31,June 30, 1998 as compared to the same periodperiods in 1997. Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report as well as First Midwest's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the threequarter and six months ended March 31,June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year of 1998. The consolidated financial statements and financial information for all previously reported periods presented herein have been restated to include First Midwest's October 1997 acquisition of SparBank which was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. All financial information is presented in thousands, except per share data. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE Net income for the firstsecond quarter increased to $11,442$11,863 or $.57$.59 per share from last year's firstsecond quarter of $10,409$10,453 or $.52$.53 per share representing an increase of 10%11.3% on a per share basis. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $23,305, or $1.16 per share as compared to $20,862 and $1.05 for the same periods in 1997. Return on average assets was 1.29%1.28% for the firstsecond quarter of 1998 as compared to 1.22% for the same quarter in 1997. Return on average assets was 1.28% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 1.22% for the same period of 1997. Return on average stockholders' equity was 13.74% for13.94% the firstsecond quarter of 1998, as compared to 13.62%13.40% for the same 1997 quarter. Return on average stockholders' equity was 13.84% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 13.50% for the same period of 1997. 10 NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $37,915$35,128 for the firstsecond quarter of 1998, representing an increasea decrease of $1,403$1,908 or 4%5% over the year-ago quarter totaling $36,512.$37,036. As shown in the Volume/Rate Analysis on page 12, the improvementdecrease in net interest income is attributable to increased interest income of $2,894$1,312 net of higher interest expense of $1,491.$3,220. Net interest margin for the firstsecond quarter of 1998 decreased to 4.48%4.10% as compared to 4.55%4.63% for the same period in 1997, but increased as compared to 4.44% in the fourth quarter of 1997. The reduction in net interest margin is primarily due to higher interest costs for paying liabilities.liabilities and a reduction in the yield on mortgage backed securities, as described below. Also contributing to the reduction of net interest margin in 1998 is the purchase of approximately $68 million in corporate owned life insurance, compared to no such investment in 1997. The cost of funding the corporate owned life insurance flows through net interest margin in the form of interest expense while the relating income from such investment is reflected in the noninterest income section of the income statement. The earnings on corporate owned life insurance produce an after-tax earnings rate of approximately 5.45%. The negative impact on net interest margin for the second quarter and first six months of 1998 resulting from the exclusion of the income on corporate owned life insurance from net interest income was approximately 8 and 10 basis points, respectively. As shown in the Volume/Rate Analysis, the $2,894$1,312 increase in interest income for the second quarter is partiallyprimarily attributable to negative volume increases on federal funds sold, mortgages held for sale and positive interest rate variances on the loan portfolio, totaling to a net improvement of $961.securities. The majority of the securities portfolio interest income variance resulted from securities volumes, which increased by $106,582$214,218 in the current quarter as compared to the like quarter last year and was partially offset by lower effective rates. Such volume increase resultedwas partially due to the securitization of approximately $67,000 in 1 - 4 family residential real estate loans and transferred from a combination of the decrease in loan volume andportfolio to the increase in time deposits.securities available for sale portfolio. The decrease in security rate is the result of the overall low rate environment and its impact on mortgage refinancings generally. As a result of the trend in refinancings, mortgage loan prepayments, and the resulting prepayments on the collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio of mortgage backed securities, to increase, the overall yield on investments is lower. The yield reduction has also resulted in a net decrease in the market value of the mortgages backed securities portfolio at March 31,June 30, 1998 from December 31, 1997.1998 This decrease is detailed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements on page 8 of this Form 10-Q. The $1,491$3,220 increase in interest expense resulted primarily from increases in both volumes of and rates on interest bearing liabilities. A major contributor to the increase in interest expense occurred in higher volumes of time deposits and rates on time deposits.short-term borrowings. The increase in volume and rate on time deposits resulted from promotional efforts to attract certain deposit maturities to better match and fund term assets. Short term borrowing balancesThe second quarter 1998 security portfolio volume increases were primarily funded by short-term borrowings which increased by $97,774, or 22% as compared to the same period in 1997. For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, net interest margin decreased into 4.30% from 4.59% for 1997.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expensewhich is further discussed on Page 11 of this Form 10-Q, income totaled $28,444$819 for the quarterquarter. Noninterest income totaled $20,579 for the six months ended March 31,June 30, 1998 increasing by $2,006 or 8% fromas compared to $17,833 for the same period in 1997. SalariesFactoring out net security gains totaling $121 for the 1998 six month period as compared to $214 for the 1997 period, noninterest income increased by $2,839, or 16%. The reasons for the increase in noninterest income for the six month period generally followed those described above for the second quarter. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense in the 1998 second quarter decreased $727 or 3% compared to the same period in 1997. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, noninterest expense increased $1,279 or 2.4% compared to the same period a year ago. The current quarter decline in noninterest expense is primarily attributable to reduced other operating expenses offset in part by higher salaries and wagesbenefits and retirementcomputer processing costs. Salaries and other employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased to a combined $15,074$14,883 for the firstsecond quarter of 1998 from the same period in 1997 for an increase of $735,$1,019, or 5%7%. The majority of such increase is attributable to general 4% merit raisesnormal salary increases effective January 1998 and incentive payments offset by decreases in pension, profit sharing and ESOP expenses. Occupancy expense decreased to $62increased by $165 from the firstsecond quarter of 1997 due in part to lower utility expenses resulting from a mild Midwest winter.the outsourcing of facilities management. Equipment expense and computer processing expense increased by $249a combined $180 or 7%5% in the firstsecond quarter of 1998 as compared to the like period in 1997.

A decrease in professional services of $525$414 in the firstsecond quarter of 1998 resulted from legal and professional fees incurred primarily related to the resolution of litigation on problem loans. Advertising and promotional expenses rose $150$162 in part due to the implementation of a television advertising campaign coupled with the MSB consolidation into First Midwest Bank, N. A. and the attendant costs related to customer retention and communication. Other expenses decreased $1,839 or 37% in the 1998 second quarter compared to the 1997 like period.

Nonaccrual loans, totaling $19,272$21,503 at March 31,June 30, 1998 are comprised of commercial and agricultural loans (67%(66%), real estate loans (26%(27%) and consumer loans (7%). The increase in nonaccrual loans in the first quarter of 1998 is attributable to 2two commercial loan customers, each comprising approximately one-half of the increase. Foreclosed real estate, totaling $3,530$2,941 at March 31,June 30, 1998, primarily represents commercial real estate properties. First Midwest's disclosure with respect to impaired loans is contained in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, located on page 8.9. PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES Transactions in the reserve for loan losses during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 1998 and 19961997 are summarized in the following table:

The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense for the firstsecond quarter of 1998 totaled $1,118$717 as compared to $2,108$1,222 for the same quarter in 1997. The amount of the provision for loan losses in any given period is dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, net charge-off levels, delinquencies, collateral values, and Management's assessment of current and prospective economic conditions. Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, for the quarter totaled $2,640,$1,441, or .47%.26% of average loans in 1998 as compared to 1997 net recoveriesloan charge-offs of $1,534, or 0.27%$1,648 or. 29%. A major component of loan recoveries for the first quartersix months of 1997 were proceeds totaling $4,050 received in settlement of a 1993 lawsuit related to loans charged off in 1992. 1415 The reserve for loan losses at March 31,June 30, 1998 was comprised of three parts: allocated for specific impaired loans, $2,975;$2,437; allocated for general segments of unimpaired loans, $8,335;$8,660; and unallocated, $24,512.$24,001. That part of the reserve allocated for specific impaired loans is discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements located on page 9. That part of the reserve allocated for unimpaired general loan segments represents First Midwest's best judgement as to potential loss exposure based upon both historical loss trends as well as loan ratings and qualitative evaluations of such segments. The unallocated portion of the reserve is that part not allocated to either a specific loan on which loss is anticipated or allocated to general segments of the unimpaired loan portfolio. At March 31,June 30, 1998, the reserve for loan losses totaled $35,822,$35,098, or 1.57%1.60% of total loans outstanding as compared to $35,844,$35,419, or 1.54% at March 31,June 30, 1997. Such reserve level is considered adequate in relation to the estimated risk of future losses within the loan portfolio. The distribution of the loan portfolio is presented in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statement located on page 8. The loan portfolio, consists dominantlypredominantly of loans originated by First Midwest from its primary markets and generally represents credit extension to multi-relationship customers. CAPITAL The table below compares First Midwest's capital structure to the minimum capital ratios required by its primary regulator, the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"). Also provided is a comparison of capital ratios for First Midwest's national banking subsidiary, First Midwest Bank, N.A. ("FMB, N.A."), to its primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC)".
