Adams Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations (217) 356-2265 GREAT AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR 2002 - YEAR-TO-DATE $1,904,000 Champaign, Illinois - Great American Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq SmallCap/GTPS), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Champaign-Urbana, reported earnings of $1,904,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $703,000, or 58.5%, above the $1,201,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 2001. Basic earnings per share were $2.28 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $1.29 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Fully diluted earnings per share were $2.09 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $1.25 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Net interest income was $6,359,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, $510,000, or 8.7%, higher than the $5,849,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 2001. Total interest income declined $1,104,000, or 9.4%, mainly due to a $923,000 decrease in loan income. Loan income was lower in 2002 due to a decline in the average balance of total loans and a decrease in the average yield on loans. The average balance of total net loans decreased from $138.53 million in 2001 to $134.42 million in 2002. The average yield on net loans was 7.60% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 compared to 8.04% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. The yield on net loans decreased primarily as a result of the decline in general market interest rates. Investment income was also lower in 2002 mainly due to a decrease in the balance of investments. Interest expense decreased $1,614,000, or 27.6%, due mainly to a shift in deposits from longer-term certificates of deposit to short-term demand accounts. The rate on deposits also declined from 4.35% for the year ended December 31, 2001 to 2.93% for the year ended December 31, 2002 due to the overall decline in market interest rates. Interest expense was also lower in 2002 due to a decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances was $17.90 million in 2002 compared to $19.06 million in 2001. The provision for loan losses was $170,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and $162,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Noninterest income totaled $2,979,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002, $857,000, or 40.4%, higher than the $2,122,000 recorded for fiscal 2001. This increase was mostly due to commissions generated from GTPS Insurance Agency and gains from sales of mortgage loans, net of commissions. Insurance sales commissions increased $317,000, or 28.5%, from $1,111,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001 to $1,428,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. Commissions generated from new customers was the primary reason for this increase. Gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans, net of commissions, were $647,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $127,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company began a program to sell residential mortgage loans to the secondary market in July 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold or entered into commitments to sell $26.66 million in mortgage loans compared to $7.69 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. Noninterest expense was $6,075,000 for fiscal 2002, $280,000, or 4.8%, higher than the $5,795,000 reported for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001, due primarily to an increase in salaries and employee benefits from 2001 to 2002. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $409,000, $75,000 or 22.5% higher than net income recorded of $334,000 for the fourth quarter of 2001. Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $1,573,000 compared to $1,528,000 for the fourth quarter of 2001. Noninterest income was $727,000 for the fourth quarter of 2002 and $538,000 for the fourth quarter of 2001. Noninterest expense was $1,594,000 for the fourth quarter of 2002 and $1,450,000 for the fourth quarter of 2001. Total assets at December 31, 2002 were $167.25 million, compared to $168.35 million at December 31, 2001.
