Adams Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations (217) 356-2265 GREAT AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. UNAUDITED RESULTS THIRD QUARTER 2000 - YEAR-TO-DATE $742,000 Champaign, Illinois - Great American Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq NMS/GTPS), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Champaign-Urbana, reported earnings of $742,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an increase of $231,000, or 45.2%, from the $511,000 reported for the same period in 1999. Basic earnings per share were $0.68 in 2000, compared to $0.42 in 1999, while fully diluted earnings per share were $0.67 in 2000, compared to $0.41 in 1999. Net interest income was $4,368,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $4,261,000 for the first nine months in 1999, an increase of $107,000 or 2.5%. The provision for loan losses was $225,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and $423,000 for the same period in 1999. The higher provision in 1999 was primarily due to an increase in the monthly provision for loan losses during 1999, mainly the result of a commercial loan totaling $1.35 million becoming non-performing in late 1998. The company charged-off $800,000 of this loan during the fourth quarter of 1999 and $90,000 during the third quarter of 2000. Noninterest income totaled $1,261,000 in 2000, $116,000, or 10.1%, higher than the $1,145,000 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase was due primarily to an increase in insurance sales commissions of $92,000 from $477,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $569,000 for the same period in 2000. Noninterest expense was $4,174,000 in 2000, $62,000, or 1.5%, higher than the $4,112,000 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Net income totaled $247,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to $147,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Basic earnings per share for the third quarter of 2000 were $0.24 in 2000, compared to $0.12 in 1999, while fully diluted earnings per share were $0.24 in 2000, compared to $0.12 in 1999. Total assets at September 30, 2000 were $157.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million from total assets of $154.3 million at December 31, 1999.
