(1) Unaudited NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollar 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. 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 1995 data to conform to the 1996 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 ended December 31, 1995. On December 20, 1995, First Midwest acquired CF Bancorp, Inc. ("CF"), whose principal subsidiary was Citizens Federal Savings Bank ("Citizens Federal"), 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 companies had been consolidated for all periods presented. 2. ACQUISITION Pursuant to the acquisition of CF on December 20, 1995, each share of common stock of CF was converted into 1.4545 shares of First Midwest, with 1,339,989 First Midwest shares being issued to CF stockholders. Coincident with the acquisition, First Midwest recorded $4,887 in acquisition- related costs consisting of $4,339 in acquisition expenses and $548 in provisions for loan losses incident to conforming Citizens Federal'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 as of the dates indicated: June 30, December 20, Acquisition Reserve: 1996 1995 - ------------------- --------- ----------- Executive severance agreements $ 919 $ 1,290 Employee severance 168 545 Outplacement and other employee costs 73 275 Bad debt reserve recapture 992 992 Investment advisor fees --- 410 Legal, accounting and other professional fees 233 827 ------- -------- $ 2,385 $ 4,339 ======= ======== During the first six months of 1996 the acquisition reserve was reduced by $1,954, of which $1,699 was recorded in the first quarter of 1996 with the remaining $255 being recorded in the second quarter. Of the total $1,954, $1,630 was paid out for acquisition related expenses with the remaining $324 being reversed. The reversal was primarily related to reduced severance payments to former Citizens Federal's executives and employees who either resigned or accepted renegotiated payouts during the first quarter of 1996. The bad debt reserve recapture component of the acquisition reserve represents the estimated after-tax cost that, under current law, would be incurred when Citizens Federal converts from a thrift to a bank. It is currently anticipated that Citizens Federal will convert to a bank and be merged into First Midwest Bank, N.A. before year end. As part of the minimum wage increase/small business tax relief legislation recently passed by Congress and now awaiting Presidential action, pre-1988 bad debt reserves of thrifts would not be subject to recapture (i.e., expensed and recorded as a tax liability) upon conversion to a bank. If this legislation is approved by the President and becomes law and Citizens Federal is thereafter converted to a bank, the need for the bad debt reserve recapture component of the acquisition reserve, in substantial part, would be eliminated permitting its reversal. Additional information with respect to the components of the acquisition reserve can be found in First Midwest's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 in Footnote 2 located on page 47. 3.

RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES/IMPAIRED LOANS Transactions in the reserve for loan losses for the quarters and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are summarized below: Quarters ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, ---------------------- ----------------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Balance at beginning of period . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 28,076 $ 25,270 $ 29,194 $ 25,154 Provision for loan losses . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,767 2,544 2,626 4,192 Loans charged-off . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $17,734. 6. RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION At its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 16, 1996, First Midwest's Certificate of Incorporation was amended to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock and change the par value of such stock. The number of shares of authorized stock increased from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000, while First Midwest's no par value common stock was changed to $.01 par value. Incident to such change, the recorded common stock balance of the Company was adjusted to reflect the aggregate par value of the shares outstanding, with the excess recorded common stock being transferred to additional paid-in capital. The amendments do not dilute the ownership interests of stockholders nor do they have any other impact on the rights and privileges of common stockholders. 7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS There are certain legal proceedings pending against First Midwest and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business at June 30, 1996. In assessing these proceedings, including the advice of counsel, First Midwest believes that liabilities arising from these proceedings, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of First Midwest. During the second quarter of 1995 settlement discussions were initiated arising out of litigation brought by First Midwest relating to a claim against its fidelity bond insurance carrier. Incident thereto the carrier informally communicated a settlement offer which was rejected by First Midwest. A bench trial commenced in February, 1996 with First Midwest presenting its case and the matter being continued until April, 1996. Because of the judge's health, the trial was again continued during which time the judge passed away. The case is currently pending reassignment to another judge and the scheduling of a new trial date. Neither the outcome of the trial nor the possibility of settlement can be reasonably quantified or determined at this time. 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 the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same periods in 1995. 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 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the quarter and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year of 1996. The consolidated financial information for all periods presented herein have been restated to include First Midwest's 1995 acquisition of CF Bancorp, Inc. accounted for as a pooling of interests. All financial information is presented in thousands of dollars, except per share data. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE Net Income - ---------- Net income for the second quarter of 1996 increased to $8,217, or $.60 per share from $7,037, or $.52 per share in the second quarter of 1995, representing an increase of 15% on a per share basis. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996, totaled $16,142, or $1.18 per share from $13,745, or $1.01 per share for the same period in 1995, representing a 17% increase per share. Return on Average Assets and Stockholders' Equity - ------------------------------------------------- Return on average assets was 1.06% for the second quarter of 1996 as compared to 0.89% for the same quarter in 1995. Return on average assets was 1.04% for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 0.89% for the same period in 1995. Return on average stockholders' equity was 13.03% for the second quarter of 1996, as compared to 12.28% for the same quarter in 1995. Return on average stockholders' equity was 12.85% for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 12.47% for the same period in 1995. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income on a tax equivalent totaled $31,079 for the second quarter of 1996, representing an increase of $1,293 over the year ago quarter totaling $29,786. As shown in the Volume/Rate Analysis for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 located on page 11, net interest margin for the second quarter of 1996 increased to 4.33% as compared to 4.06% in the 1995 period. As a result of the improvement in net interest margin, tax equivalent net interest income increased by $1,293 in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to 1995, comprised of $2,188 in reduced interest income net of $3,481 in lower interest expense. A decrease in loans outstanding was the primary contributor to the reduction in total interest income in the second quarter of 1996 of $2,188 as compared to 1995. Such decrease resulted primarily from the securitization of approximately $140,000 in 1-4 family residential real estate loans at the end of the first quarter of 1996 which were securitized and transferred to the securities available for sale portfolio. Offsetting, in part, the reduction in loans outstanding from such securitization was core growth in total loans resulting in a net decrease in average loans outstanding of approximately $22,000 in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The decrease in total interest expense of $3,481 in the second quarter of 1996 was primarily due to decreases in both the volume of and rates paid on short- term borrowings, primarily wholesale repurchase agreements. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, net interest margin increased to 4.23% from 4.12% for 1995. The Volume/Rate Analysis for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 1995 is presented on page 12. VOLUME/RATE ANALYSIS The table below summarizes the changes in average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as the average rates earned and paid on these assets and liabilities, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. The table also details the increase and decrease in income and expense for each major category of assets and liabilities and analyzes the extent to which such variances are attributable to volume and rate changes.

(2) Interest income and yields are presented on a tax-equivalent basis. NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income totaled $7,492 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $8,511 for the same quarter in 1995. Exclusive of NET SECURITY GAINS which totaled $469 for the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $859 for the same quarter of 1995, noninterest income decreased by $629. The largest components of this decrease were $493 in TRUST AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEES resulting from a nonrecurring accounting adjustment recorded in 1995, and $495 in OTHER INCOME due to gains from the sale of $13 million in student loans recorded in 1995. Partially offsetting the decrease was growth in SERVICE CHARGES ON DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS of $244 primarily attributable to a higher volume of business accounts and an increase in OTHER SERVICE CHARGES, COMMISSIONS AND FEES of $163 representing growth in annuity sales and merchant fees on credit card sales. Noninterest income totaled $14,402 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $14,918 for the same period in 1995. Exclusive of NET SECURITY GAINS which totaled $545 for the 1996 six month period as compared to $1,042 for the 1995 period, noninterest income decreased by $19. In addition to the changes noted above, MORTGAGE BANKING REVENUES for the 1996 six month period were $320 in excess of such revenues in 1995. This variance resulted from a higher level of real estate loan originations in 1996 which totaled $111,000, as compared to $66,000 in 1995. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense totaled $23,201 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, decreasing by $1,332 from $24,533 for the same quarter in 1995. The largest component of the decline was FDIC INSURANCE PREMIUMS, which decreased by $1,027 in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the like 1995 period, reflective of premiums assessed on deposits insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") decreasing from $.23 per $100 of insured deposits in 1995 to $.00 in 1996; deposits insured by the Savings Association Insurance fund ("SAIF") remained unchanged at $.23 cents per $100 of deposits in both years. RETIREMENT AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS decreased by $561 primarily as a result of the Company's 1995 restructuring and the corresponding decrease in full- time equivalent employees. OCCUPANCY EXPENSE increased by $194 in the second quarter of 1996 resulting from rental expense incurred on a new operations center which began in mid-1995. Additionally, COMPUTER PROCESSING EXPENSE increased by $181 due primarily to software upgrades occurring at various locations in the first six months of 1996. Noninterest expense totaled $46,354 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $48,159 for the same period in 1995. Of the $1,805 decrease, $2,060 was due to reduced FDIC premiums, as discussed above. In addition to the changes noted above, an ACQUISITION CREDIT of $324 was recorded in the 1996 six month period due to forfeited severance resulting from voluntary resignations and renegotiated payouts during the first quarter of 1996 at Citizens Federal. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements provides additional information with respect to acquisition expenses/credits. The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was 60.41%, as compared to the 1995 second quarter ratio of 64.19%. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the efficiency ratio of 61.45% was favorable as compared to the prior year's six month ratio of 64.69%. The improvement in the 1996 efficiency ratio reflects the impact of the companywide restructuring which occurred in the second and third quarters of 1995. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense totaled $4,833 for the second quarter of 1996, increasing from $3,866 for the same period in 1995 and reflects effective income tax rates of 37.03% and 35.46%, respectively. Income tax expense totaled $9,206 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increasing from $7,516 for the 1995 six month period and reflects effective income tax rates of 36.32% and 35.35%, respectively. The higher effective tax rates in the 1996 periods are primarily due to reduced state tax exempt income recorded in 1996. NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND 90 DAY PAST DUE LOANS The following table summarizes nonperforming assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, as of the close of the last five calendar quarters: Nonperforming Assets and 1996 1995 -------------------- ---------------------------- 90 Day Past Due Loans June 30 March 31 Dec. 31 Sept. 30 June 30 -------- ---------- ------- -------- -------- Nonaccrual loans $ 10,790 $ 11,428 $11,219 $ 9,208 $ 11,924 Renegotiated loans 7,760 7,963 7,917 7,942 7,779 -------- ---------- ------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming loans 18,550 19,391 19,136 17,150 19,703 Foreclosed real estate 5,393 5,779 4,752 5,664 7,746 -------- ---------- ------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming assets $ 23,943 $ 25,170 $23,888 $22,814 $ 27,449 ======== ========== ======= ======== ======== % of total loans plus foreclosed real estate 1.21% 1.29% 1.13% 1.11% 1.36% ======== ========== ======= ======== ======== 90 Day past due loans accruing interest $ 4,318 $ 8,206 $ 3,626 $ 8,676 $ 3,800 ======== ========== ======= ======== ======== Nonaccrued loans, totaling $10,790 at June 30, 1996, is comprised of commercial loans (61%), real estate loans (33%) and consumer loans (6%). The renegotiated loan balance of $7,760 represents loans to certain related borrowers that have performed in compliance with all contractual loan terms during 1996. Foreclosed real estate, totaling $5,393 at June 30, 1996, primarily represents commercial real estate properties. First Midwest's disclosure with respect to impaired loans is contained in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, located on page 8. PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES Transactions in the reserve for loan losses during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are summarized below: Quarters ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, -------------------- ------------------ 1996 1995 1996 1995 -------- -------- -------- -------- Balance at beginning of period . . . . . $ 28,076 $ 25,270 $ 29,194 $ 25,154 Provision for loan losses . . . . . . . . 1,767 2,544 2,626 4,192 Loans charged-off . . . . . . . . . . .

Net loans charged off for the quarter totaled $1,246, or .26% of average loans in 1996 as compared to $1,913, or .39% in 1995. 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. At June 30, 1996, the reserve for loan losses was comprised of three parts: allocated for specific impaired loans, $1,874; allocated for general segments of unimpaired loans, $9,259; and unallocated, $17,464. 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. The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding increased to 1.44% at June 30, 1996 as compared to 1.28% at June 30, 1995. 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 4 to the consolidated financial statements located on page 8. The loan portfolio, which contains no sub-prime credit nor consumer credit card loans, consists dominantly of loans originated by First Midwest from its primary markets and generally represents credit extensions 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., to its primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Both First Midwest and First Midwest Bank, N.A. are subject to the minimum capital ratios defined by banking regulators pursuant to the FDIC Improvement Act ("FDICIA") and have capital measurements well in excess of the minimums required by their respective bank regulatory authorities to be considered "well-capitalized" which is the highest capital category established under the FDICIA. As of June 30, 1996 ------------------------------------------------------------- Bank Holding Company National Bank Minimum ------------------------- --------------- CAPITAL MEASUREMENTS - FRB/OCC Minimum Minimum Well- First Required Required Capitalized Midwest FRB FMB, N.A.

As of June 30, 1996, Citizens Federal exceeded all applicable capital ratio requirements of the OTS. DIVIDENDS First Midwest's strong capital position has allowed it to increase its quarterly dividend in 1996, for the fourth consecutive year, to the following indicated annual rates: Dividends Annual % Increase Paid in Rate over Prior year --------- ------ --------------- 1996 $ .84 11% 1995 $ .76 12% 1994 $ .68 13% 1993 $ .60 15% ====== =============== Special Note: Certain statements contained within Item 2 of Part I of this Report which are not historical facts, including statements relating to First Midwest's plans, objectives and expectations of future performance and occurrences may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
