                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Trustees
Mid America Bank, fsb
  Employees' Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Mid America Bank, fsb Employees' Profit Sharing Plan as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's administrator. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Plan's administrator, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Mid
America Bank, fsb Employees' Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2001 and
2000, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 2001 and reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 2001, are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's administrator. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                                                              /s/ KPMG LLP

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999

(1)   Description of Plan

      The following description of the Mid America Bank, fsb Employees' Profit
      Sharing Plan ("Plan") provides only general information. Participants
      should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the
      Plan's provisions.

      General

      The Plan is a defined contribution plan with a 401(k) salary deferral
      option. All employees of Mid America Bank, fsb and it's affiliates (the
      "Company") are eligible to participate in the salary deferral portion of
      the Plan. Employees who have completed one year of service and are age
      twenty-one or older are eligible to receive employer matching and
      discretionary contributions under the Plan. The Plan is subject to the
      provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
      ("ERISA").

      Contributions

      Each year the Plan participants may contribute up to 10% of their annual
      compensation as a voluntary after-tax contribution. In addition, all
      employees are allowed to defer up to 15% of their pre-tax income as 401(k)
      contributions up to an annual limit of $10,500. The Company will make
      matching contributions equal to 35% of a participant's pre-tax deferral
      amounts, up to maximum match of $1,200, for those 401(k) plan participants
      eligible to receive employer matching contributions.

                   Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

      Participant Accounts

      Each participant's contribution account is credited with the participant's
      contribution and an allocation of earnings. Each participant's Company
      contribution account is also credited with an allocation of the Company's
      contribution and forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested assets,
      subject to federal rules governing employer contributions to qualified
      plans. Allocation of the Company's contribution and forfeitures of
      terminated participants' accounts are based on the ratio that each
      participant's eligible compensation for the Plan year bears to the total
      eligible compensation of all participants for the Plan year. The benefit
      to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
      from the participant's accounts.

      Vesting

      Participants are immediately vested in their pre-tax contributions, their
      voluntary after-tax contributions, rollover contributions and merged plan
      accounts plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the employer matching
      and employer discretionary contribution accounts is based on years of
      service as follows: Less than 2 years - 0%; 2 years - 20%; 3 years - 40%;
      4 years - 60%; 5 years - 80%; 6 years or more - 100%.

      Investment Options

      Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee
      contributions in any of eight investment options.

         Certificates of Deposit. The Mid America Bank certificate of deposit
         ------------------------
         product offers a return equal to a market interest rate that changes
         every three years. This investment is insured by the Federal Deposit
         Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), up to applicable limits.

         MAF Bancorp, Inc. Stock. Investing in common stock represents an
         ------------------------
         investment in a company by which a person becomes a part owner of that
         company. The only direct common stock investment that may be made with
         employee contributions is an investment in the common stock of MAF
         Bancorp, Inc. Dividends paid on shares of MAF Bancorp, Inc. purchased
         through the 401k component of the plan will be reinvested in MAF
         Bancorp, Inc. Common Stock. It is expected that all purchases will be
         made at prevailing market prices. Under certain circumstances, the
         trustees may be required to limit the daily volume of shares purchased.
         A participant's account will be adjusted to reflect changes in the
         value of MAF Bancorp, Inc. shares resulting from dividends, stock
         splits, and similar changes.

         Mutual Funds

         Growth Fund of America. This fund seeks to provide long-term growth of
         -----------------------
         capital through a diversified portfolio of common stocks. The fund
         invests wherever the best growth opportunity may be, including cyclical
         companies, depressed industries, turnaround and value situations, and
         companies that appear to offer superior opportunities for long-term
         growth. The fund may invest 15% of assets in securities of issuers
         domiciled outside the United States.

         Washington Mutual Investors Fund. This fund seeks to provide current
         ---------------------------------
         income and the opportunity for growth of principal consistent with
         sound common stock investing. The fund only invests in stocks of U.S.
         companies that meet strict standards and will not invest in alcohol or
         tobacco stocks. The fund focuses on larger capitalized companies and
         seeks to be at least 95% invested in equity-type securities at all
         times.

         Income Fund of America. This fund seeks to provide current income and,
         -----------------------
         secondarily, growth of capital though a flexible mix of equity and debt
         instruments. These instruments include common and preferred stocks,
         straight debt securities, U.S. government securities, cash and
         equivalents. The fund normally maintains at least 65% of assets in

         capital through investments all over the world, including the United
         States. The fund primarily consists of the common stocks issued by blue
         chip companies emphasizing a multi-national or global presence. The
         fund managers focus on opportunities generated by changes in global
         trade patterns and economic and political relationships. These
         securities involve special additional risks that may include, but are
         not limited to, currency risk, political risk, risks associated with
         varying accounting standards, and the possible lesser liquidity of
         these markets. The fund may invest 100% of assets outside the United

         Bond Fund of America. This fund's objective is to provide as high a
         ---------------------
         level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital

         securities. A total of 60% of the fund's investments must be in
         straight debt securities rated A or better, at the time of purchase,
         including corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, and money market
         instruments. The remaining 40% of assets may be in other fixed-income
         debt securities, including lower rated issues and non-U.S. issuers.

      Payment of Benefits

      On termination of service participants may elect to either leave the funds
      in the plan until age 70 1/2 if the balance exceeds $5,000, or receive a
      lump-sum amount equal to the value of their vested account. Benefits are
      recorded when paid.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
      basis of accounting.

      Use of Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the
      Plan's administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
      reported 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 reporting period.
      Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      Valuation of Investments

      Investments in mutual funds and common stock are stated at fair value as
      determined by reference to quoted market prices. Money market deposit
      accounts and certificates of deposit are stated at face value plus accrued
      interest which has not been transferred from the accounts which
      approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded
      on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales are computed
      using the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on
      the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for when earned.

      The change in the difference between fair value and the cost of
      investments for each year is reflected in the statement of changes in net
      assets available for plan benefits as unrealized appreciation or
      depreciation in fair value of investments.

(3)   Income Taxes

      The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
      letter dated March 28, 1996 that the Plan and related trust are designed
      in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
      Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
      letter, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is
      currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
      the IRC.

(4)   Administrative Expenses

      The Company generally pays the administrative expenses of the Plan.

(5)   Plan Termination

      Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
      right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
      terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of
      Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their
      accounts.
