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. The
acquisition expenses, certain of which are nondeductible for income tax
purposes, were recorded through the establishment of a reserve which is
comprised of the following components foras of the dates indicated:

7. 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.

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.

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. The Volume/Rate Analysis for the first quarter
ofsix months ended
June 30, 1998 by $30,527 from year ago levels due a shift of funding into time
deposits.as compared to the like 1997 period is presented on page 13.

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

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.

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.

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)". Both
First Midwest and FMB, N.A. are subject to the minimum capital ratios defined by
banking regulators pursuant to the FDIC Improvement Act ("FDICIA") and have
capital measurements in excess of the levels required by their respective bank
regulatory authorities to be considered "well-capitalized" which is the highest
capital category established under the FDICIA.

looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, which represents First Midwest's expectations and benefits concerning

looking statements include, without limitations, the following: significant
fluctuations in market interest rates; limitations on the First Midwest's
ability to increase fee-based income without negatively impacting customer
relationships and related account balances; operational limitations and costs
related to changing technologies; deviations from the assumptions used to
evaluate the appropriate level of the reserve for loan losses; and, the trend in
mortgage refinancings and the related impact on the yield and market value of
the mortgage-backed securities portfolio.portfolio; and the impact of future earnings
performance and capital levels on dividends declared by the Board of Directors.
