                       GREAT AMERICAN BANCORP, INC.
      UNAUDITED RESULTS SECOND QUARTER 2003 -- YEAR-TO-DATE $908,000

Champaign, Illinois - Great American Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq SmallCap/GTPS), the
holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Champaign-Urbana, reported
earnings of $908,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of
$65,000, or 6.7%, from the $973,000 reported for the same period in 2002.
Basic earnings per share were $1.18 for the six month period ended June 30,
2003, compared to $1.14 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002, while
fully diluted earnings per share were $1.06 for both the six month period
ended June 30, 2003 and the six month period ended June 30, 2002.

Net interest income was $2,941,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a
decrease of $212,000, or 6.7%, compared to $3,153,000 for the first six months
in 2002.  Net interest income declined mainly as a result of lower interest
income from loans due to a decline in total loans from a year ago and a
reduction in average loan yields.  The decline in net interest income from
loans was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits and
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances.  This decline was primarily due to a
shift in deposits from higher-rate certificates of deposit to lower-rate
demand accounts.  The Company also maintained lower balances of FHLB advances
during the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002.
The Company recorded no provision for loan losses for the first six months of
2003 compared to $110,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Management's
analyses of the allowance for loan losses during the first six months of 2003
determined that no additional allocation to the allowance was warranted for
the period.

Noninterest income totaled $1,743,000 for the first six months of 2003,
$258,000, or 17.4%, higher than the $1,485,000 recorded for the six months
ended June 30, 2002.  This increase was mostly due to net gains from sales of
mortgage loans.  Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans were $552,000 for the
first six months of 2003 compared to $221,000 for the first six months of
2002.  The Company sold $22.29 million in mortgage loans during the first six
months of 2003 compared to $10.45 million for the six months ended June 30,
2002.

Noninterest expense was $3,191,000 for the first six months of 2003, $262,000,
or 8.9% higher than the $2,929,000 reported for the six month period ended
June 30, 2002.  Noninterest expense categories that were higher in 2003
included salaries and employee benefits, legal and professional fees,
directors fees and marketing expenses.

Net income for the second quarter of 2003 was $443,000, $26,000 or 5.5% less
than net income recorded of $469,000 for the second quarter of 2002.  Net
interest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $1,450,000 compared to
$1,596,000 for the second quarter of 2002.  The Company recorded no provision
for loan losses for the second quarter of 2003, compared to $50,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002.  Noninterest income was $892,000 for the second
quarter of 2003 and $705,000 for the second quarter of 2002.  Noninterest
expense was $1,612,000 for the second quarter of 2003 and $1,483,000 for the
second quarter of 2002.

Total assets at June 30, 2003 were $168.69 million, compared to $167.25
million at December 31, 2002.
