Great American Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Background Information 	Great American Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on February 23, 1995 and on June 30, 1995 acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of First Federal Savings Bank of Champaign-Urbana, (the "Bank") upon the Bank's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank. The Company purchased 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank using 50% of the net proceeds from the Company's initial stock offering which was completed on June 30, 1995. The Company sold 2,052,750 shares of common stock in the initial offering at $10 per share, including 164,220 shares purchased by the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The Company began trading on the NASDAQ Stock Market on June 30, 1995 under the symbol "GTPS". 	In November, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors voted to change the Company's fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31, beginning with December 31, 1995. 2. Statement of Information Furnished 	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-QSB instructions and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B, and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. All adjustments to the financial statements were normal and recurring in nature. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. 	The consolidated financial statements are those of the Company and the Bank. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders. PART I -- Item 2. 		 	GREAT AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. 		 Management's Discussion and Analysis 			 or Plan of Operation Great American Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Champaign-Urbana (the "Bank"). The Bank operates a wholly owned subsidiary, Park Avenue Service Corporation which engages in the sale of fixed-rate, tax deferred annuities and real estate development ventures. Financial Condition Total assets increased from $117,706,000 at December 31, 1995 to $119,662,000 at June 30, 1996, an increase of $1,956,000 or 1.7%. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in securities held to maturity and net loans. Securities held to maturity increased by $2,996,000, from $400,000 at December 31, 1995 to $3,396,000 at June 30, 1996, due to security purchases. The securities purchased were all U.S. Treasury and callable Agency securities with maturities ranging from 18 months to three years. Net loans increased by $8,503,000, or 11.0% from $77,409,000 at December 31, 1995 to $85,912,000 at June 30, 1996. Loan growth occurred primarily in one-to four-family and multi family residential loans and commercial loans. One-to four-family residential loans increased from $41,179,000 at December 31, 1995 to $44,039,000 at June 30, 1996, an increase of $2,860,000, or 7.0%. Multi family loans increased $3,677,000, or 87.7%, from $4,194,000 at December 31, 1995 to $7,871,000 at June 30, 1996. Commercial loans increased from $8,038,000 at December 31, 1995 to $9,268,000 at June 30, 1996, an increase of $1,230,000, or 15.3%. Security purchases and loan growth were funded by a decline in short-term investments and an increase in deposits. Total deposits increased $3,201,000 or 3.9% from $81,918,000 at December 31, 1995 to $85,119,000 at June 30, 1996. The growth in total deposits was primarily attributable to an increase in time deposits offset by a decrease in demand deposits, NOW accounts, and passbook savings accounts. Time deposits increased by $4,509,000, or 10.7% from $42,065,000 at December 31, 1995 to $46,574,000 at June 30, 1996. Demand deposits, NOW accounts, and passbook savings accounts decreased by $1,308,000, or 3.3% from $39,853,000 at December 31, 1995 to $38,545,000 at June 30, 1996. The decline in demand deposits, NOW accounts, and passbook savings accounts was due to the seasonal nature of these deposits which tend to be higher in December. These deposits normally decline in the spring and summer as income taxes and real estate taxes are paid. The increase in time deposits was primarily in short-term certificates of deposits mainly certificates maturing in one year or less. Total stockholders' equity decreased $1,301,000 from $34,632,000 at December 31, 1995 to $33,331,000 at June 30, 1996, resulting in a reduction in book value per share from $18.11 at December 31, 1995 to $18.01 at June 30, 1996. The decrease is summarized as follows (in thousands): Stockholders' equity, December 31, 1995 $ 34,632 	Net income 343 	Dividends declared (727) 	Unearned compensation - incentive plan (1,185) 	Incentive plan shares allocated 96 	ESOP shares allocated 190 	Increase in unrealized loss on securities 	 available for sale, net of income 	 tax effect (18) 								 							 ------ Stockholders' equity, June 30, 1996 $ 33,331 							 ====== On July 18, 1996, the Company completed the repurchase of 5% of the Company's common stock or 102,638 shares at an average price of $14.00 per share. The repurchased shares will be held as treasury shares to be used for general corporate purposes. Results of Operations Comparison of Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 Net income was $343,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $284,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This represents a $59,000 or 20.8% increase. Primary earnings per share were $0.18 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $0.15 for the same period ended June 30, 1995. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.17 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $0.14 for the same period ended 1995. The increase in net income reflects higher net interest income, offset by increases in both the provision for loan losses and other expenses. Interest income was $4,180,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $3,760,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of $420,000, or 11.2%. Interest income on loans for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $3,411,000, or 4.3% greater than the $3,271,000 recorded for the same period in 1995. Interest income on securities and certificates of deposit for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $769,000, or 57.3% higher than the $489,000 experienced in the same period in 1995. The increase in interest income on loans was due to higher average balances in 1996 and higher overall loan yields. The average total loan balance for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $79,687,000 compared to $77,090,000 for the same period ended in 1995, an increase of $2,597,000, or 3.4%. The majority of this increase was in mortgage and consumer loans. Average total mortgage loans were $61,456,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $1,322,000, or 2.2% over the $60,134,000 average balance during the same period in 1995. The average balance of total consumer loans was $9,743,000, or 18.2% higher for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the average balance of $8,244,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The average yield on loans was 8.56% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 8.44% for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The higher average yield for 1996 was primarily due to commercial loans renewing at higher rates during late 1995 and in 1996. The increase in interest income on securities and certificates of deposit was primarily attributable to an increase in short-term investments from the cash proceeds generated from the Company's initial stock offering in connection with the conversion of the Bank. The average balance of securities and certificates of deposit, which includes interest earning cash equivalents, was $28,471,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $16,831,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $11,640,000, or 69.2%. The average yield on securities and certificates of deposit, however, declined from 5.80% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to 5.40% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Interest expense decreased by $10,000, or .6% from $1,527,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $1,517,000 for the same period ended in 1996. This decrease was due to a reduction in interest expense on FHLB advances, offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits. The reduction in interest expense on FHLB advances from $39,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to zero for the same period ended in 1996 reflects the repayment of FHLB advances in March, 1995. Interest expense on deposits increased by $29,000, or 2.0% from $1,474,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $1,503,000 for the same period ended in 1996. The increase was mainly due to a shift in the overall mix of deposits from interest-bearing demand accounts to certificates of deposit. Average interest-bearing demand accounts declined from $40,264,000 in the first six months of 1995 to $36,385,000 during the same period in 1996, a decline of $3,879,000, or 9.6%. Average certificates of deposits declined only slightly: $44,557,000 during the first six months of 1995 versus $44,243,000 for the first six months of 1996. The average rate on deposits increased from 3.48% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to 3.61% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Net interest income was $2,663,000, or 19.3% higher for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $2,233,000 recorded for the same period ended in 1995. Net interest income as a percent of average interest earning assets was 4.92% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 versus 4.75% for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The spread between the yield on interest earning assets and the rate on interest bearing liabilities was 4.11% and 4.48% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The provision for loan losses was $110,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $66,000 for the same period in 1995. The higher provision for 1996 reflects management's decision to increase the allowance for loan losses as a result of an increase in non-performing loans and increased charge-off activity occurring in late 1995 and in 1996. Non- performing loans, which are loans past due 90 days or more and non accruing loans, totaled $227,000 at June 30, 1996, compared to $160,000 at June 30, 1995. The delinquent balance at June 30, 1996 was comprised of four residential mortgage borrowers with balances totaling $72,000, two consumer borrowers with unsecured balances totaling $43,000, and three commercial borrowers with secured balances totaling $112,000. There were no loans on nonaccrual status at June 30, 1996. The past due residential mortgage loans were adequately secured at June 30, 1996. The Bank is working with the consumer borrowers to establish an acceptable repayment schedule. In the event the Bank is unable to workout an acceptable repayment schedule for these loans, the Bank may incur a charge-off of the balance of such loans and any accrued interest. Two of the past due commercial loans with balances totaling $82,000 were adequately secured by second mortgages on the borrower's residences. The Bank was in the process of repossession of the collateral on the remaining commercial loan past due balance of $30,000 at June 30, 1996. Loans charged-off in 1996 were comprised of consumer loans with seven different borrowers totaling $105,000 and one commercial loan totaling $13,000. Recoveries totaled $4,000, with net charge-offs totaling $114,000. This compares to charge-offs in the first six months of 1995 of $10,000, recoveries totaling $8,000, equaling net charge-offs of $2,000. The ratios of the Company's allowance for loan losses to total loans and allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans were .30% and 115.4%, respectively, at June 30, 1996, as compared to .34% and 166.9%, respectively, at June 30, 1995. Noninterest income totaled $313,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $314,000 for the same period ended in 1995. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to gains on the sale of mortgage loans and gains recorded on mortgage servicing rights, which were offset by decreases in commissions and service charges. During the first six months of 1996, the Company sold $2,812,000 in one- to four-family mortgages recording gains totaling $23,000 in response to declining interest rates at the beginning of 1996. During the first six months of 1995, the Company sold $40,000 in one- to four-family mortgages with gains totaling $1,000. The recording of mortgage servicing rights was introduced in January, 1996 upon the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS No. 122"). SFAS No. 122 requires rights to service mortgage loans for others be recorded as an asset. The Company recorded a $21,000 gain on mortgage servicing rights for the six months ended June 30, 1996 versus zero recorded for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Commissions decreased by $23,000, or 67.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period ended 1995. This decrease was due to reduced sales of tax-deferred annuities as other long-term savings rates have become more attractive. Service charges on loans decreased by $4,000 due to lower loan application fees and late charge fees. Service charges on deposits decreased by $15,000 due mainly to lower overdraft fees. Noninterest expense was $2,263,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $2,014,000 recorded for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $249,000, or 12.4%. Compensation and employee benefits expense was $120,000, or 11% higher in the first six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period ended 1995, due to compensation expense recorded for stock based benefit plans implemented 1996. The increases in professional fees and other noninterest expense of $78,000 and $56,000, respectively, was due to increased franchise fees, accounting fees, and professional fees and other costs associated with the annual meeting of stockholders held on February 14, 1996. 			 Total income taxes increased by $77,000, from $183,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $260,000 for the same period ended 1996. Income taxes increased in 1996 due to greater earnings along with an increase in nondeductible expenses, primarily expenses associated with the stock based benefit plans. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, were 43.12% and 39.19%, respectively. Results of Operations Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $171,000 compared to $128,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $43,000, or 33.6%. Primary earnings per share were $0.09 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to $0.07 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.08 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to $0.06 for the same quarter ended in 1995. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher net interest income, offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expenses, and a reduction in noninterest income. Interest income increased by $187,000, or 9.8% from $1,916,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $2,103,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Interest income on loans was $72,000, or 4.3% greater for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same quarter in 1995. Interest income on securities and certificates of deposit was $115,000, or 45.1% greater, in the three months ended June 30, 1996, when compared to the same period in 1995. Interest income on loans was higher in 1996 due to larger average balances. Average total loans for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $81,772,000 compared to $77,508,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. All loan categories experienced growth over 1995 levels with the greatest increases in mortgage and consumer loans. The average yield on loans declined only slightly from 8.51% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to 8.48% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Interest income from securities and certificates of deposit was higher in 1996 mainly due to an increase in short-term investments related to the proceeds obtained from the initial stock offering in connection with the conversion of the Bank. The average balance of securities and certificates of deposit, which includes interest earning cash equivalents, was $27,514,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to $17,011,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $10,503,000, or 61.7%. The average yield on securities and certificates of deposit declined from 5.96% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to 5.38% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, due to the decline in short-term interest rates during the latter part of 1995 and in early 1996. Interest expense decreased by $11,000, or 1.4% from $780,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $769,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, primarily interest expense on deposits. Net interest income was $198,000, or 17.4% higher for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same quarter in 1995. Net interest income as a percent of average interest earning assets was 4.87% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 versus 4.80% for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. The spreads between the yield on interest earning assets and the rate on interest bearing liabilities were 4.07% and 4.55% for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The provision for loan losses was $60,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to $33,000 for the same quarter in 1995. The higher provision was a result of increases in non-performing loans and charge-off activity since late 1995. Noninterest income was $148,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 versus $155,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, a decrease of $7,000, or 4.5%. The decrease was mainly due to decreased income from the joint venture and lower commissions. The majority of the vacant lots sold the joint venture were sold prior to the beginning of the quarter ended June 30, 1996. With five lots remaining at June 30, 1996, the Company expects the joint venture to be completed within the next several months. The decrease in commissions of $6,000, or 75% was due to reduced sales of tax deferred annuities. Noninterest expense was $1,125,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to $1,049,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $76,000, or 7.2%. This change was mainly due to increases in professional and other noninterest expense of $35,000 and $33,000, respectively. The Company incurred increased franchise, auditing and other professional fees in 1996 as compared to 1995. Total income taxes increased from $81,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $126,000 for the same quarter ended in 1996, an increase of $45,000, or 55.6%, due mainly to higher earnings. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, were 42.4% and 38.8%, respectively. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits and principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company's initial stock offering which was completed on June 30, 1995 contributed substantially to the Company's overall liquidity levels. The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), the Company's and the Bank's primary regulator, requires the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets. Currently, the required ratio is 5%. The Bank's liquidity ratios were 15.93% and 19.46% at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, well above the required minimum. A review of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the accompanying financial statements shows that the Company's cash and cash equivalents ("cash") decreased $9,596,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to an increase of $12,875,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, cash was primarily provided from earnings, proceeds from the sale of loans, and an increase in time deposits. During these six months, cash was primarily used to fund loan originations, purchase securities held to maturity, purchase Company common stock for an employee incentive plan, and to pay dividends. Cash was also used during this period to fund a decrease in demand deposits, NOW accounts, and passbook savings accounts. During the six months ended June 30, 1995, cash was primarily provided from earnings, proceeds from matured CDs and other securities held to maturity, and the issuance of common stock in connection with the conversion of the Bank as of June 30, 1995. During these six months, cash was primarily used to fund a decrease in demand deposits, NOW accounts, passbook savings accounts, and time deposits, and for the repayment of FHLB advances. During this period, cash was also used to fund loan originations, purchase securities held to maturity, and to pay for conversion expenses. The Bank's primary investment activities during the six months ended June 30, 1996 was the origination of loans, and the purchase of securities held to maturity. During the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, the Bank originated mortgage loans in the amounts of $18,186,000 and $8,578,000, respectively, commercial loans in the amounts of $8,613,000 and $7,778,000, respectively, and consumer loans in the amounts of $6,791,000 and $5,766,000, respectively. The increase in new mortgage loan volume from the six months ended June 30, 1995 to the six months ended June 30, 1996 of $9,608,000, or 112.0%, was mainly due to intensified marketing efforts made by management. The increase in new consumer loan volume from the six months ended June 30, 1995 to the six months ended June 30, 1996 of $1,025,000, or 17.8%, was primarily due to advertising and special promotions for consumer loans. As of June 30, 1996, the Bank had outstanding commitments (including undisbursed loan proceeds) of $4,002,000. The Bank anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from June 30, 1996 totaled $36,198,000. Management believes a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. The OTS capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital standard; a 3% leverage (core capital) ratio and an 8% risk-based capital standard. The core capital requirement is effectively 4%, since OTS regulations stipulate that, effective December 19, 1992, an institution with less than 4% core capital will be deemed to be "undercapitalized." As of June 30, 1996, the Bank's capital percentages for tangible capital of 22.14%, core capital of 22.14%, and risk-based capital of 36.12% significantly exceed the regulatory requirement for each category. On August 23, 1993, the OTS issued a final rule which sets forth the methodology for calculating an interest rate risk component that would be incorporated into the OTS regulatory capital rule. The regulation requires certain institutions with more than a "normal level" of interest rate risk to maintain capital in addition to the 8.0% risk based capital requirement. This ruling is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition of the Bank. The OTS recently deferred implementation of this regulation. Pending Federal legislation currently provides for a one-time, special assessment on all SAIF insured deposits of approximately $.70 to $.90 per $100 of deposits as of March 31, 1995. However, it is unclear as to when such legislation will be enacted or what date will be selected for the determination of the deposit base upon which the special assessment will be levied. If the assessment is made at the proposed rates, based on the Bank's deposits as of June 30, 1996, the effect on the Bank would be a charge in the period enacted of approximately $350,000 to $450,000 on an after tax basis. It is anticipated that if the one-time assessment is levied, all SAIF insured institutions will have their deposit insurance premiums reduced in future periods. Legislation regarding bad debt recapture has been passed by Congress and sent to the President for signature. The legislation requires recapture of reserves accumulated after 1987. The recapture tax on post 1987 reserves must be paid over a six year period starting in 1996. The payment of the tax can be deferred in each of 1996 and 1997 if an institution originates at least the same average annual principal amount of mortgage loans that it originated in the six years prior to 1996. The Company estimates its post 1987 reserves to be approximately $301,000, resulting in additional tax liability of approximately $124,000, with no financial statement impact.
