CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company's consolidated results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. The results are also significantly affected by its mortgage banking activities which involve the origination, purchase, sale, servicing and subservicing of residential mortgage loans. The Company also generates non-interest income such as transactional fees and gain or loss on sale of mortgage loans, mortgage servicing rights and securities. In addition, commissions are earned from the sale of annuity, mutual fund and insurance products. The Company's operating expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, occupancy expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums and other general and administrative expenses. The Company's results of operations are significantly affected by its periodic amortization of mortgage servicing rights and by its provisions for loan losses. 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 agencies. Any forward-looking statements included in this report or in any report included by reference, which reflect management's best judgement based on factors known, involve risks and uncertainties, as discussed above. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1996 Assets increased $149.1 million during the first six months of 1997 to $3.0 billion. The two largest components of asset growth were net loans receivable, which increased $52.5 million, and available-for-sale securities, which increased $129.2 million. Net loans receivable totaled $1.9 billion at June 30, 1997. The Company continues to diversify its loan portfolio and enhance portfolio yield by increasing the percentage of consumer and commercial loans in the portfolio. The following table shows the composition of the loan portfolio at June 30, 1997 in comparison to December 31, 1996: Loan Portfolio Composition at ----------------------------- June 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ------------- ------------ Loan category: One-to-four family residential ..... 69.3% 72.4% Multi-family residential ........... 8.3% 7.8% Commercial real estate ............. 6.7% 5.3% Construction and land .............. 5.9% 6.7% Non-mortgage, primarily consumer ... 9.8% 7.8% ------------- ------------ 100.0% 100.0% ============= ============ During the first six months of 1997, the Company purchased mortgage-backed securities, funded by repurchase agreements, and government and debt securities, funded by advances from the FHLB. Certain of the leveraged purchases were structured to grow the Company without incurring significant interest rate risk, and others were structured to manage interest rate risk related to borrowed funds. The Company also used certain maturing short-term liquid assets to reduce short-term borrowings. Mortgage-backed securities increased 30.9% during the first six months of 1997 and debt and equity securities decreased by 8.9%. In total, available-for-sale securities increased 19.4% during the first half of 1997. 13 Deposits increased $89.5 million or 5.0% during the first six months of 1997. This increase was the result of growth in deposits of $105.3 million, offset by a sale of $15.8 million of deposits (See note 8 - "Sale of Retail Banking Office"). Approximately $82.4 million of the growth in deposits was due to increased retail deposits attracted through advertising, competitive deposit rates and retail sales efforts. The remainder was primarily due to an increase in custodial escrow balances associated with the portfolio of loans serviced for others. Borrowed funds increased $53.5 million during the first six months of 1997, with long-term FHLB advances increasing by $34.0 million, and short-term borrowings increasing $19.5 million. Long-term fixed rate FHLB advances were increased as part of the Company's strategy to manage interest rate risk related to borrowed funds. The Company also replaced certain long-term adjustable rate FHLB advances with short-term repurchase agreements to improve cash management flexibility. Stockholders' equity totaled $281.3 million at June 30, 1997 or 9.2% of total assets, which is an increase of $830,000 over year-end 1996. The increase in total equity was the net result of proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.4 million, the Company purchasing 562,800 shares of its common stock at a cost of $17.8 million; an increase of $863,000 in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities; dividends of $3.5 million; a reduction in unearned balances of stock compensation plans by $3.5 million; and earnings of $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW. The Company's net income of $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.4 million or 21% greater than the second quarter of 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 net income of $15.4 million was 18% greater than the same period last year. These results were primarily due to increased net interest income and fee income, partially offset by increased non-interest expense. NET INTEREST INCOME. For the second quarter of 1997, net interest income increased 9% or $1.7 million versus the second quarter of 1996. This increase was primarily the result of substantial growth in the Company's balance sheet, partially offset by a slight decline in the interest rate spread and a reduction in the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-beearing liabilities. Average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $396.0 million and $431.8 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 1997 versus the second quarter of 1996, resulting in $1.4 million of the increase in net interest income. These average balance increases were the result of growth from normal business operations and the acquisition of Lexington Federal Savings Bank (Lexington Federal) in June 1996. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 7.99% for the second quarter of 1996 to 7.92% for the second quarter of 1997. This decrease was primarily due to a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets resulting in a higher percentage of available-for-sale securities and a lower percentage of loans receivable. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.56% for the 1996 second quarter to 5.52% for the 1997 second quarter, primarily due to the growth in shorter-term, lower rate certificates of deposit and decreased borrowing costs. Changes in rates resulted in $296,000 of the increase in net interest income and a decrease in the interest rate spread from 2.43% for the second quarter of 1996 to 2.40% for the second quarter of 1997. Net interest margin decreased to 2.93% for the second quarter of 1997 from 3.14% for the same period last year primarily due to the reduction in the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities resulting from stock repurchases. The Company's initiative to increase shareholder value by repurchasing certain of its outstanding common stock results in cash being used to repurchase stock, which would otherwise be invested in interest-earning assets or used to reduce interest-bearing borrowings, thereby lowering the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities. 14 Net interest income was up $4.2 million or 11% for the first six months of 1997 compared to the same period of 1996. Average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $397.4 million and $428.0 million, respectively, in the first six months of 1997 versus the same period of 1996, resulting in $3.1 million of the increase in net interest income. These average balance increases were the result of growth from normal business operations, the acquisition of Lexington Federal and the effects of liquidity and interest rate risk management strategies on the securities portfolio and borrowed funds. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 8.03% for the first six months of 1996 to 7.96% for the first six months of 1997. This decrease was primarily due to a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets resulting in a higher percentage of available-for-sale securities and a lower percentage of loans receivable. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.58% for the first six months of 1996 to 5.48% for the first six months of 1997, primarily due to the growth in shorter-term, lower rate certificates of deposit and decreased borrowing costs. Changes in rates resulted in $1.2 million of the increase in net interest income and an increase in the interest rate spread from 2.45% for the first six months of 1996 to 2.48% for the same period of 1997. Net interest margin decreased to 3.02% for the first six months of 1997 from 3.16% for the same period last year, primarily due to the reduction in the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities resulting from stock repurchases. 15 AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS AND ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income represents the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets and expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the rates earned or paid on them. The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company's average consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets and liabilities, respectively. For 1997, average balances are derived from daily balances. For 1996, average balances for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are derived from daily balances. All other average balances are derived from month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of average monthly balances instead of average daily balances has caused any material differences in the information presented. The average balance of loans receivable includes loans on which the Company has discontinued accruing interest. Interest includes fees which are considered adjustments to yields and costs.

The provision for loan losses was $775,000 or 0.16% (annualized) of average loans in the 1997 second quarter, compared to $616,000 or 0.13% of average loans in the second quarter last year. Net charge-offs were 0.06% of average loans in the second quarter of both years. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.5 million or 0.15% of average loans during the period, compared to $1.2 million or 0.14% of average loans for the same period last year. Net charge-offs decreased when comparing the two six-month periods, from $526,000 or 0.06% of average loans last year to $443,000 or 0.05% of average loans this year. NON-INTEREST INCOME. For the three months ended June 30, 1997, non-interest income increased 8% or $725,000 in comparison to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to increased fee income from sales of investment and insurance products, service charges on deposit accounts and loan related fees. The increase in non-interest income of 6% or $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 in comparison to the same period last year, was primarily attributable to the gain on the sale of a retail banking office and increased fee income, partially offset by decreased servicing fee income and increased amortization of mortgage servicing rights. Through an expanded sales staff and product line, the Company increased fee income from sales of investment, insurance, loan and deposit products to customers. The Company's decision to sell the Bank's retail banking office in Liberty, Kentucky, was based on analysis concluding that the branch no longer had sufficient market share for profitable operations. Servicing fee income decreased in comparison to the prior year due to a decrease in the number of loans the Company is subservicing for third-parties. Increased amortization of mortgage servicing rights was attributable to an increase in originated mortgage servicing rights. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 increased $392,000 and $1.8 million, respectively, in comparison to the same periods of 1996. However, as a percentage of average assets, total non-interest expense was only 2.33% and 2.41% of average assets for the three and six months of 1997, respectively, as compared to 2.66% and 2.65% for the same periods last year. This gain in efficiency was primarily the result of lower FDIC insurance premiums and the growth in average assets outpacing increases in all other operating expenses, including the increases due to the acquisition of Lexington Federal. Compensation and benefits expense increased as the result of growth in the staff needed to deliver and provide operational support for an expanded line of retail banking and investment products to the Company's growing customer base. The increase in other non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997, includes increased amortization of goodwill of $319,000. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense of $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, resulted in effective income tax rates of 34.5% and 35.8%, respectively, on income before income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the effective income tax rates were 34.4% and 35.5%, respectively. The decreases in the effective income tax rates are primarily due to increased income tax credits earned in connection with the Company's investment in low income housing partnerships as part of its community reinvestment activities and increased income from tax-exempt securities. 19 NON-PERFORMING ASSETS The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's non-performing assets at the dates indicated. June 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ------------- ------------ (dollars in thousands) Non-performing loans: Non-accrual loans ............................ $ 7,079 $ 7,185 Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more: FHA/VA loans (limited credit risk - see discussion below) ......................... 79,305 88,185 Other loans ................................ 2,878 5,931 Restructured loans ........................... 1,970 1,992 ------------ ------------ Total non-performing loans ................... 91,232 103,293 Real estate owned .............................. 1,840 2,815 ------------ ------------ Total non-performing assets .................... $ 93,072 $106,108 ============ ============ Non-performing loans to total loans: Including FHA/VA loans ....................... 4.42% 5.19% Excluding FHA/VA loans ....................... 0.58% 0.76% Non-performing assets to total assets: Including FHA/VA loans ....................... 3.06% 3.66% Excluding FHA/VA loans ....................... 0.45% 0.62% Allowance for loan losses to total loans ....... 0.71% 0.68% Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans: Including FHA/VA loans ....................... 16.00% 13.11% Excluding FHA/VA loans ....................... 122.35% 89.61% Allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets: Including FHA/VA loans ....................... 15.68% 12.76% Excluding FHA/VA loans ....................... 106.00% 75.53% Certain accruing FHA/VA loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more are purchased by the Company from GNMA pools it services. The Company also purchases portfolios of insured FHA and guaranteed VA loans, most of which are 90 days or more past due, from third parties. At June 30, 1997, the Company held in its portfolio $141.8 million of FHA/VA loans most of which were delinquent at the time of purchase. Such loans totaled $144.7 million at December 31, 1996. As a servicer of GNMA pools, the Company is obligated to remit to security holders interest at the coupon rate regardless of whether such interest is actually received from the underlying borrower. The Company, by purchasing such delinquent loans out of the pools, is able to retain the benefit of the net interest rate differential between the coupon rate it would otherwise be obligated to pay to the GNMA security holder and the Company's current cost of funds. Most of the Company's investment in delinquent FHA and VA loans is recoverable through claims made against the FHA or VA, and any credit losses incurred are not greater or less than if the FHA/VA loans remained in the GNMA pools and the Company remained as servicer. The same risk from foreclosure or from loss of interest exists for the Company as servicer or owner of the loan, and the Company, by purchasing delinquent FHA/VA loans, assumes only the interest rate risk associated with investing in a fixed-rate loan if foreclosure does not occur. The FHA/VA loans acquired from third parties are purchased at a discount as compensation to the Company for the credit and interest rate risks associated with the loans. No purchases were made from third parties during the first six months of 1997. The Company also has certain impaired loans. The Company has defined impaired loans as commercial real estate and commercial business loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss, as defined by OTS regulations. Impaired loans, net of related allowance, decreased from $6.8 million at December 31, 1996, to $6.1 million at June 30, 1997. 20 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits; principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities; proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities; proceeds from maturing debt securities; advances from the FHLB; other borrowed funds; and sale of stock. Another source of funds is mortgage banking activities which generate loan servicing fees and proceeds from the sale of loans. While scheduled maturities of securities and amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and prepayments on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets and short-term liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term borrowings as defined by OTS regulations. The minimum required liquidity and short-term liquidity ratios are currently 5% and 1%, respectively. For June 1997, the Bank had liquidity and short-term liquidity ratios of 6.3% and 5.3%, respectively. At June 30, 1997, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund portfolio loans totaling $117.8 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet these commitments. The Bank is required by federal regulations to maintain minimum amounts of capital. Currently, the minimum required levels are tangible capital of 1.5% of tangible assets, core capital of 3.0% of adjusted tangible assets, and risk-based capital of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. At June 30, 1997, the Bank had tangible capital of 7.8% of tangible assets, core capital of 7.8% of adjusted tangible assets, and risk-based capital of 17.8% of risk-weighted assets. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share (EPS) previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share," and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. Earlier application is not permitted. The pro forma effects of implementation of this statement on the Company's reported net income and earnings per share are presented in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements. 21 GREAT FINANCIAL CORPORATION PART II.
