Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - - ------------------------------------------ 1. Statement of Information Furnished - - -------------------------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1996, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The attached consolidated statements are those of Southwest Bancshares, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries Southwest Federal Savings and Loan Association of Chicago and Southwest Bancshares Development Corporation. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1995. 2. Earnings Per Share - - ----------------------- Southwest Bancshares, Inc. presents earnings per share on a primary and a fully diluted basis. Earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by the average number of common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares include shares issuable under the stock option plans. 3. Impact of New Accounting Standards - - --------------------------------------- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (the "SFAS No. 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The Company adopted SFAS No. 121 effective January 1, 1996, resulting in no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. -6- 7 Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights. In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 (the "SFAS No. 122"), "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights". This statement amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 65 (the "SFAS No. 65"), "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities" to require that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired. SFAS No. 122 requires that a mortgage banking enterprise assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. SFAS No. 122 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company adopted SFAS No. 122 effective January 1, 1996, resulting in no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In October, 1995 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (the "SFAS No. 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This statement establishes a fair value-based method of accounting for stock options which encourages employers to account for stock compensation awards based on their fair value at the date the awards are granted. The resulting compensation award would be shown as an expense on the income statement. SFAS No. 123 also permits entities to continue to use the intrinsic value method, allowing them to continue to apply current accounting requirements, which generally result in no compensation cost for most fixed stock option plans. If the intrinsic value method is retained, SFAS No. 123 requires significantly expanded disclosure, including disclosure of the pro forma amount of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value-based method were used to account for stock-based compensation. SFAS No. 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, however, employers will be required to include in that year's financial statements, information about options granted in 1995. The Company has determined that it will continue to apply the APB Opinion #25 method in preparing its consolidated financial statements. -7- 8 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL - - ------- Southwest Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is the holding company for Southwest Federal Savings and Loan Association of Chicago (the "Association") and Southwest Bancshares Development Corporation, a participant in real estate development. The Association operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Southwest Service Corporation, which engages in real estate development activity and operates a full service insurance agency. The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, mortgage-backed and related securities and investment securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. The Company's earnings also are affected by the level of its other income, including fee revenue, joint venture income and gain on sale of investments and loans, as well as its level of non-interest expenses, including employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, federal deposit insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses. The Company's results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - - ------------------------------- The Company's primary sources of funds are the Association's deposits and proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, advances from the FHLB-Chicago and proceeds from the maturity of investments. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. As of June 30, 1996 the Association had outstanding loan commitments of $12.7 million, with an average interest rate of 8.23%, of which the majority were fixed-rate loans. Management anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from June 30, 1996 totalled $114.5 million. Based upon the Association's experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Association. The Company's cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities were $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 1995. Net cash provided for investing activities was $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $2.5 million for the comparable period in 1995. Net cash provided for financing activities was $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $774,000 provided by investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 1995. -8- 9 The primary investment activity of the Association is the origination of mortgage loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities. The Association disbursed $33.7 million in mortgage loans for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $22.7 million for the same six month period of 1995. The Company did not purchase mortgage-backed securities in either six month period ended June 30, 1996 or 1995. Other investing activities include primarily investing in U.S. Government and agency obligations and other investments which totalled $6.2 million and $6,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The Association is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations. This requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio is currently 5%. The Association's liquidity ratio was 13.45% at June 30, 1996. The Association's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include investments in highly liquid, short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Association's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents totalled $7.7 million. The OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital standard; a 3% leverage (core capital) ratio; and an 8% risk-based capital standard. The core capital requirement was effectively increased to 4% since OTS regulations stipulate that an institution with less than 4% core capital will be deemed to be "undercapitalized". As of June 30, 1996, the Association's actual capital percentages for tangible capital of 7.83%, core capital of 7.83%, and current risk-based capital of 15.65% exceed the regulatory requirement for each category and is considered a well capitalized institution under the OTS prompt corrective active regulation. On August 23, 1993, the OTS issued a final rule which sets forth the methodology for calculating an interest rate risk component that would be incorporated into the OTS risk-based regulatory capital rule. The effective date for the proposed has been delayed by the OTS. This regulation is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition of the Association. The Company invests in mortgage-backed and related securities as part of its asset and liability management strategy and to complement its mortgage lending and investment activities. The Company has designated its entire portfolio of mortgage-backed and related securities as "available for sale" and are accounted for at fair market value, and unrealized gains or losses are reported net of taxes as a separate component of stockholders' equity. As of June 30, 1996, all of the mortgage-backed and related securities owned by the Company are issued, insured or guaranteed either directly or indirectly by a federal agency and are typically rated in one of the two highest rated categories by a nationally recognized rating agency. Consistent with its asset and liability management strategy, $14.2 million or 48.86% of the Company's mortgage-backed and related securities have adjustable interest rates, thereby reducing the impact of changing interest rates on these securities. However, because these securities are subject to prepayments, the Company's yield on this portfolio could be adversely affected if significant prepayments occur. -9- 10 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs") and Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits ("REMICs") purchased by the Company are not classified as "high risk" under regulatory guidelines and are subject to normal effects of changes in interest rates. To assess price volatility, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") adopted a policy in 1992 which requires an annual "stress" test of CMO and REMIC securities. This policy, which has been adopted by the OTS, requires the Company to annually test its CMOs and REMICs to determine whether they are high risk or non-high risk securities. All CMOs and REMICs are subjected to this stress test quarterly and at June 30, 1996, all were considered to be low risk securities. Non-Performing Assets - The following table sets forth information regarding loans which are 90 days or more delinquent. The Association continues accruing interest on delinquent loans 90 days or more past due, but reserves 100% of the interest due on such loans, thus effecting a non-accrual status. At June 30, 1996 there were no other known problem assets except as included in the table below.

Except as stated below, the amount of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual terms of the asset or liability. The Association has assumed that its passbook savings, NOW and money market accounts, which totalled $110.7 million at June 30, 1996, are withdrawn at the annual percentage rates of 6%, 38% and 15%, respectively. These withdrawal rates, as well as loan prepayment assumptions, are based on the Association's historical experience regarding loan prepayments and deposit withdrawals.

At June 30, 1996, non-performing loans and undisbursed loan proceeds totalled $430,000 and $7.2 million, respectively. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain 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 ARM loans, 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 would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. In this current environment of narrowing interest margins, management intends to decrease the interest rate sensitivity by extending liability maturities and shortening the investment portfolio. -11- 12 Average Balance Sheet The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition for the periods indicated and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average monthly balances. Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of average daily balances has caused any material differences in the information presented. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields.

(the "Company") decreased $2.8 million, or 0.78%, to $356.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 1996. This decrease was primarily the result of the $14.2 million decrease in cash, interest-bearing deposits, government and mortgage-backed securities which were partially offset by the $8.9 million increase in loans receivable, along with the $1.0 million and $1.1 million increase in investment in joint ventures and prepaid expenses and other assets, respectively. During the six month period ended June 30, 1996, cash and interest-bearing deposits decreased by $8.2 million, or 51.47%, which provided ordinary operating liquidity. U.S. Government and agency obligations, available for sale decreased $3.8 million, or 9.09%, to $38.2 million at June 30, 1996 from $42.0 million at December 31, 1995, as the proceeds from maturities of $9.0 million were not fully reinvested. Mortgage-backed securities, available for sale decreased $2.3 million, or 7.22%, to $29.0 million at June 30, 1996 from $31.3 million at December 31, 1995, as a result of $1.4 million securities maturing and a market value decrease of approximately $900,000 during the period. Loans receivable increased to $251.8 million, an $8.9 million or 3.66% increase, for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $242.9 million at December 31, 1995. This resulted primarily from funding $33.7 million in new loans which was offset by loan repayments of $24.3 million and the sale of participation loans of $1.5 million which was offset by $1.0 million of participation loans purchased. Other investments, available for sale increased $137,000, or 1.71%, to $8.1 million at June 30, 1996 from $8.0 million at December 31, 1995, as a result of the reinvestment of dividends in the ARM portfolio fund. Investment in joint ventures increased $1.0 million, or 17.90%, to $6.7 million at June 30, 1996 from $5.7 million at December 31, 1995 as the Company increased its investment in joint venture activities. Office property and equipment increased $373,000, or 13.22%, to $3.2 million at June 30, 1996 from $2.8 million at December 31, 1995, primarily as a result of final disbursements for construction and equipment of the Orland Park office which opened February 6, 1996. Prepaid expenses and other assets increased to $6.5 million at June 30, 1996 from $5.5 million at December 31, 1995, an increase of $1.0 million, or 20.04% as a result of amortization of prepaid expenses and a decrease in interest earning assets. Savings deposits for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $5.1 million, or 2.01%, as the withdrawal activity of $173.0 million exceeded deposit receipts of $162.9 million and interest credited to deposit accounts of $5.0 million. This decrease is primarily the result of withdrawals from the special rate 8 month CDs which matured in the second quarter. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $6.5 million, or 12.34%, in the six month period ended June 30, 1996, to $59.2 million from $52.7 million at December 31, 1995, as advances were used to provide operating liquidity. -13- 14 Stockholders' equity decreased $5.8 million, or 12.68%, for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 to $40.0 million from $45.8 million at December 31, 1995. The decrease is primarily the result of the stock repurchase program during the period which increased treasury stock by $6.8 million, or 33.70%, as the Company repurchased 252,700 shares of treasury stock. ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS - - ---------------------- Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased by $135,000, or 12.03%, to $1.0 million from $1.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 1995. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, net income decreased $411,000, or 18.08%, to $1.9 million from $2.3 million in the same period in 1995. The decrease for both the three and six month periods is primarily attributable to the Association's increase in cost of funds and non-interest expense. If market interest rates continue to increase, the interest rate spread and interest rate margin are expected to narrow. Interest income decreased for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to $6.6 million from $6.7 million for the same quarter in 1995, a $90,000 or 1.34% decrease. Interest income decreased $33,000, or 0.25%, for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 from the $13.3 million for the same six month period ended June 30, 1995. The decrease in interest income for both the three month and six month periods was primarily attributed to the decrease in total interest-earning assets. Interest expense remained at $3.6 million for both the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, interest expense increased $371,000, or 5.41%, to $7.2 million from $6.9 million for the same period in 1995. The increase for the six month period ending June 30, 1996, is directly related to the increase in the cost of funds along with an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. For the six month period the cost of funds increased 0.14%, a 3.04% increase, to 4.75% as compared to 4.61% for the same period in 1995. The Association calculates any allowance for possible loan losses based upon its ongoing evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the types and quality of its loans, including the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and other factors such as the current regulatory and economic environment. As a result of this review, loan loss provisions are recorded. A provision of $6,000 was established for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to a $4,000 provision for the first quarter of 1995. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996 a provision of $12,000 was established as compared to $4,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1995. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was .16% as of June 30, 1996 as compared to .30% as of December 31, 1995. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 178.14% as of June 30, 1996 as compared to 98.69% as of December 31, 1995. Management believes its provision for loan losses is adequate, given the risks inherent in its loan portfolio and the current regulatory and economic environment. Although the Association believes its allowance for losses is at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. -14- 15 Activity in the allowance for loan losses for all periods presented in the consolidated income statement is included in the following table.

The increase for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was $148,000, or 28.57%, to $666,000 in 1996 from $518,000 in 1995. The increase in non-interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 primarily resulted from a $90,000 increase in income from joint ventures and a $33,000 increase in miscellaneous income. The non-interest income increase for the six month period primarily resulted from a $186,000 increase in income from joint ventures and the $65,000 increase in miscellaneous income partially offset by the $48,000 reduction in fees and service charges and the $80,000 reduction of gains on sale of securities from the six month period in 1995. Non-interest expense increased approximately 11% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996. A $210,000 increase for the three month period to $1.9 million from $1.7 million in 1995 and a $391,000 increase for the six month period to $3.9 million from $3.5 million. The increase for both periods resulted from increases in all expense categories, primarily as a result of nominal salary increases and expenses related to the operation of the expanded office network. The provision for federal and state income taxes in both periods decreased as a result of the decrease in net income before taxes. The provision was decreased by $47,000, or 8.55%, for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 and decreased by $244,000, or 20.49%, for the six month period ended June 30, 1996. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS - - ------------------- On May 15, 1996 the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of 27 cents per share which was paid on June 12, 1996 to shareholders of record on May 29, 1996. On July 16, 1996, the Company announced its intention to repurchase up to 100,000 shares, or approximately 5.6% of its outstanding shares. This program will start after the completion of the repurchase program announced March 21, 1996, of which 95,060 shares have been purchased as of August 1, 1996. -15- 16 Legislative initiates regarding the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), deposit insurance premiums, FICO bond interest payments, the merger of SAIF and Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), financial industry regulatory structure and revision of thrift and bank charters are still pending before Congress. Management cannot predict the ultimate impact any final legislation or regulatory actions may have on the operations of the Company. Without passage of legislation addressing the FDIC insurance premium disparity, the Association, like other thrifts, will continue to pay deposit insurance premiums significantly higher than commercial banking institutions. As long as such premium differential continues, it may have adverse consequences on the Company's earnings and the Company may be placed at a substantial competitive disadvantage to commercial banking organizations insured by the BIF. Legislation regarding bad debt recapture has been passed by Congress and sent to the President for signature. The legislation requires recapture of reserves accumulated after 1987. The recapture tax on post 1987 reserves must be paid over a six year period starting in 1996. The payment of the tax can be deferred in each of 1996 and 1997 if an institution originates at least the same average annual principal amount of mortgage loans that it originated in the six years prior to 1996. Management does not believe that this legislation will have a material impact on the operations of the Company. -16- 17 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
