NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE (1) - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION Standard Federal Bancorporation, Inc. (the "Company"), is the holding company for Standard Federal Bank (the "Bank"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. NOTE (2) - BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Appendix A of the 1995 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement of the Company. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1995 Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto, in order to conform with the 1996 presentation. NOTE (3) - EARNINGS PER SHARE Refer to Exhibit 11, on page 34, for the computations of primary and fully diluted earnings per share. NOTE (4) - INVESTMENTS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES Investments and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") are recorded at cost on trade date. Discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method over the estimated lives of the assets. Investments and MBS determined to be trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Investments and MBS which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at amortized cost. All other investments and MBS are classified as available for sale, and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in stockholders' equity. Gain or loss on the sales of investments and MBS are based on the specific identification method. The investment securities available for sale at June 30, 1996, consist solely of certain assets which had been recently obtained in the Company's acquisition of Bell Bancorp, Inc. Such assets were sold, without recognition of gain or loss, of during July 1996. The MBS held for trading at June 30, 1996, consist of certain of the Company's recent loan originations that were securitized during the month of June 1996 as a part of the Company's on- going mortgage banking activities, but which were not sold until the month of July 1996. 10 STANDARD FEDERAL BANCORPORATION, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE (4) - INVESTMENTS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES (CONTINUED) Investment securities held to maturity are summarized as follows: June 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 -------------------- -------------------- Carrying Market Carrying Market Value Value Value Value --------- --------- --------- --------- (In thousands) Investment securities held to maturity: Collateralized mortgage obligations $308,928 $309,021 $25,642 $25,837 Investment-grade corporate debt securities 125 125 125 125 FHLB stock - at cost 112,058 112,058 102,427 102,427 Certificates of deposit -- -- 831 831 U.S. government and agency obligations 81,003 79,228 81,082 80,346 Other 1,483 1,240 1,638 1,369 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total $503,597 $501,672 $211,745 $210,935 ======== ======== ======== ======== The investment securities held to maturity portfolio reflects gross unrealized gains of $0.4 million and gross unrealized losses of $2.3 million at June 30, 1996. The MBS held to maturity portfolio reflects gross unrealized gains of $16.4 million and unrealized losses of $36.8 million at June 30, 1996. NOTE (5) - LOANS RECEIVABLE Loans receivable available for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market determined on an aggregate basis. All loans held in portfolio are carried at amortized cost. The Company has both the intent and the ability to hold all loans in portfolio, for investment purposes, for the foreseeable future. Discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method over the estimated lives of the assets. As part of its management of assets and liabilities, the Company has sold retail single-family loans, primarily all of which had been classified as available for sale. In addition, through its wholesale mortgage banking division, the Company routinely sells loans primarily to the secondary market agencies. The Company has identified a population of loans as being available for sale at June 30, 1996. The Company intends to sell all of this portfolio, primarily during the third quarter of 1996. Gains or losses resulting from the sale of loans are based on the specific identification method and recorded on a settlement date basis, and reflect the extent that the sales proceeds exceed the Company's investment in the loans. 11 Loans receivable available for sale are summarized as follows: June 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 ---------------------- ---------------------- Carrying Market Carrying Market Value Value Value Value --------- --------- --------- --------- (In thousands) Loans receivable available for sale $901,316 $901,316 $902,816 $909,533 ========= ========= ========= ========= 12 STANDARD FEDERAL BANCORPORATION, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE (6) - LOAN ORIGINATION FEES All loan origination fees and certain loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. This method of amortization is based upon contractual payment terms adjusted for actual prepayments. Unamortized net deferred fees (costs) are taken into income, as a gain or a loss on the sale, at the time of the loan sale in proportion to the percentage of the loan sold or into interest income upon prepayment by the borrower. NOTE (7) - ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES A provision for possible losses is charged to operations based on management's evaluation of the potential losses in its various loan and investment portfolios. The major factors considered in evaluating potential losses and the adequacy of total allowances are historical charge-off experience, delinquency, general economic conditions and the fair value of any related collateral. NOTE (8) - INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS The Company utilizes interest rate exchange agreements ("swaps") to hedge interest rate risk. Under the contractual terms of the swaps outstanding at June 30, 1996, the Company agreed to pay interest at a fixed rate of 12.81% on notional principal totaling $10.0 million, and to receive interest at a variable rate of 5.66% determined by independent indices at June 30, 1996. This swap matures during November 1997. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the unanticipated event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the swaps, primarily if the Company is in a net accrued interest receivable position at the time of default by the counterparties. However, at June 30, 1996, the Company was in a net accrued interest payable position. Notional principal amounts often are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are much smaller. NOTE (9) - PLEDGED ASSETS At June 30, 1996, real estate loans totaling $3.0 billion, certain MBS totaling $1.2 million, investment securities totaling $9.1 million and the Company's FHLB stock totaling $126.6 million were pledged to secure FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, other long-term borrowings and interest rate exchange agreements. NOTE (10) - COMMITMENTS At June 30, 1996, the Company had commitments to fund approximately $1.0 billion of mortgage loans and $15.0 million of consumer loans. The vast majority of these commitments are expected to settle during the next four months. Additionally, at June 30, 1996, the Company had firm forward commitments to sell $1.0 billion of recently closed or committed single- family loans, including the $3.6 million of MBS held for trading identified in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. These sales, which will primarily occur during the third quarter of 1996, are not expected to produce any material gain or loss to the Company. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making these commitments as those involved in extending loans to customers. 13 STANDARD FEDERAL BANCORPORATION, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE (10) - COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED) At June 30, 1996, in addition to the firm forward commitments discussed in the preceding paragraph, the Bank also had options to sell $250.0 million of securitized, single-family loans. The cost of these options, which expire in the third quarter of 1996, was $171,000 and will become an adjustment to the basis of the loans sold if the options are exercised or will be expensed if unexercised. Total commercial and other standby letters of credit amounting to $9.2 million were issued and outstanding at June 30, 1996. Unused lines of credit provided to consumers (generally, open-ended lines of credit which are funded on demand) totaled $876.7 million at June 30, 1996. Unused lines of credit provided to commercial customers (generally, open-ended lines of credit which are funded on demand) totaled $102.5 million at June 30, 1996. NOTE (11) - MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS Mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") represent the cost of acquiring the right to service mortgage loans. These costs are initially capitalized and subsequently amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net loan servicing income. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights ("SFAS 122")" during May 1995. SFAS 122 requires that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others that have been acquired through either the purchase or origination of a loan. A mortgage banking enterprise that sells or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained must allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative fair values. Additionally, SFAS 122 requires that MSR be reported at the lower of cost or fair value. The carrying value of MSR is included in the caption entitled "Other Assets" in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The Company adopted SFAS 122 during May 1995, effective as of January 1, 1995. The on-going impact of SFAS 122 is dependent upon, among other things, the volume of loan originations, the general levels of market interest rates and the rate of estimated loan prepayments. Accordingly, the Company's management is unable to predict with any reasonable certainty what effect SFAS 122 will have on its future results of operations or its financial condition. The activity of capitalized MSR is summarized below: Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 1995 -------- -------- (In thousands) Beginning balance $97,555 $59,134 Additions through wholesale mortgage banking operations 50,140 20,777 Additions through retail lending operations 12,066 968 Value of MSR acquired through mergers 432 -- Valuation allowance adjustment due to change in fair value of MSRs 200 -- Sales of MSR (1) (35,170) (3,208) Amortization (9,728) (3,585) -------- ------- Ending balance $115,495 $74,086 (1) The Company sold servicing rights relating to $2.6 billion and $222.8 million of loans serviced for the benefit of others during the first half of 1996 and 1995, respectively. 14 STANDARD FEDERAL BANCORPORATION, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE (11) - MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS (CONTINUED) The fair value of capitalized MSR is calculated, on a disaggregated basis, by discounting estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk involved. The aggregate fair value of the Company's MSR that is subject to the provisions of SFAS 122 totaled approximately $133.5 million at June 30, 1996. In applying this valuation method, the Company used assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income which included estimates of the cost of servicing per loan, the discount rate, float value, inflation rate, ancillary income per loan, prepayment speeds and default rates. The Company conducts its periodic impairment analyses using a disaggregated method, based on the underlying loans' interest rates and loan types. The activity in the impairment-based valuation allowance for capitalized MSR is summarized below: Six Months Ended Description June 30, 1996 -------------------------------------------------- ---------------- Beginning balance $6,600 Decrease related to the sales of MSR (2,805) Decrease related to a change in fair value of MSR (200) ------ Ending balance $3,595 ====== The Company did not have an impairment-based valuation allowance during the six months ended June 30, 1995. NOTE (12) - COST IN EXCESS OF FAIR VALUE OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED Since 1980, the Company has expanded its branch network geographically by merging with 19 savings institutions and purchasing three branches from other savings institutions. All but one of these acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income reflect the income of the acquired institutions only since the respective dates of acquisition. In addition, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are adjusted to fair value as of the dates of acquisition. Goodwill and other intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changed circumstances may affect the underlying basis of the assets. 15 STANDARD FEDERAL BANCORPORATION, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE (13) - COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS On June 7, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Bell Bancorp, Inc. ("Bell"). The purchase price, including payments made with respect to outstanding stock options, amounted to $355.0 million. Bell, through its principal operating subsidiary, Bell Federal Savings and Loan Association, operated 14 full-service branch offices in the greater Chicago, Illinois, market. Bell had total assets of $1.9 billion and deposits of $1.6 billion at the date of acquisition. On January 12, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of FSB Financial Corporation ("FSB"). The purchase price, including payments made with respect to outstanding stock options, amounted to $24.7 million. FSB, through its principal operating subsidiary, Fidelity Savings Bank, operated four full-service branch offices within the Company's operating area in Kalamazoo, Michigan. FSB had total assets of $163.3 million and deposits of $122.8 million at the date of acquisition. NOTE (14) - ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING DEVELOPMENTS During March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). This Statement requires that long-lived assets, goodwill related to those assets to be held and used by an entity and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company adopted SFAS 121 effective January 1, 1996. Adoption of this Statement has not had, nor is expected to have, a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. During June 1996, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS 125"). This Statement, among other things, applies a "financial-components approach" that focuses on control, whereby an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. This Statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. In accordance with the provisions of this Statement, the Company will adopt SFAS 125 on January 1, 1997. Adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. 16 NOTE (15) - HOLDING COMPANY ONLY STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION The following is an unconsolidated Statement of Financial Condition for Standard Federal Bancorporation, Inc., as of June 30, 1996.

(the "Company") as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, the related consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated statement of financial condition of Standard Federal Bancorporation, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 18, 1996 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. /s/Deloitte & Touche LLP July 18, 1996 Detroit, Michigan 18 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION The primary operating objective of Standard Federal Bancorporation, Inc. (the "Company"), and its wholly owned subsidiary Standard Federal Bank (the "Bank") is to maximize net interest income over the long term, while taking into consideration both credit risk and interest rate risk. In pursuit of this objective, the Company follows the strategy of acquiring assets for investment purposes and retaining portions of its loan production. The Company attempts to achieve reasonable spreads through matching such assets with deposits and a number of other funding sources. The Company has never made any foreign loans, nor does it participate as an investor in high-yield financing, highly leveraged transactions or non-investment grade securities. As part of its strategy for the management of assets and liabilities, the Company has, from time to time, sold retail single-family loans, primarily all of which had been classified as available for sale. In addition, the Company's wholesale mortgage-banking division routinely sells wholesale loans primarily to the secondary market agencies. At June 30, 1996, the Company had identified $901.3 million of single-family loans as available for sale. These loans, the vast majority of which were acquired by the Company's wholesale mortgage-banking division, are recorded at the lower of cost or market. While the Company intends to sell all of this portfolio, the level of gains or losses, if any, to be recognized in subsequent periods is anticipated to be insignificant. On June 7, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of Bell Bancorp, Inc. ("Bell"). The Condensed Combining Statement of Financial Condition that follows summarizes the initial effects of the acquisition. This information is consistent with that presented in the Company's Report of Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 14, 1996. 19 FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) Condensed Combining Statement of Financial Condition - June 7, 1996 (In thousands) Related Purchase Accounting Entries Company Bell Debit Credit Combined ----------- ---------- --------------------- ------------ ASSETS: Cash $116,596 $12,706 $129,302 ----------- ---------- --------- --------- ------------ Investments 213,450 483,383 $10,764 686,069 Mortgage-backed securities 3,165,144 90,959 3,256,103 Loans receivable 9,402,468 1,307,298 $1,430 10,711,196 ----------- ---------- --------- --------- ------------ Total earning assets 12,781,062 1,881,640 1,430 10,764 14,653,368 Real estate and other repossessed assets 6,580 3,351 9,931 Premises and equipment 198,368 5,004 3,000 206,372 Cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired and core deposit intangibles 134,750 -- 75,600 210,350 Other assets 242,061 27,243 269,304 ----------- ---------- --------- --------- ------------ Total assets $13,479,417 $1,929,944 $80,030 $10,764 $15,478,627 =========== ========== ========= ========= ============ LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: Liabilities: Deposits $9,409,012 $1,598,038 $11,007,050 FHLB advances and other borrowings 2,597,319 10,000 2,607,319 ----------- ---------- --------- --------- ------------ Total interest- bearing liabilities 12,006,331 1,608,038 13,614,369 Other liabilities 521,777 26,292 $364,880(1) 912,949 ----------- ---------- --------- --------- ------------ Total liabilities 12,528,108 1,634,330 364,880 14,527,318 ----------- ---------- --------- --------- ------------ STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: Common stock and additional paid-in capital 234,322 80,216 $80,216 234,322 Retained earnings 708,371 215,398 215,398 708,371 Net unrealized gain on securities available for sale 8,616 -- 8,616 ----------- ---------- --------- --------- ------------ Total stockholders' equity 951,309 295,614 295,614 951,309 ----------- ---------- --------- --------- ------------ Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $13,479,417 $1,929,944 $295,614 $364,880 $15,478,627 =========== ========== ========= ========= ============ (1) Represents primarily the cost of the acquisition, payable in cash to Bell's stockholders. 20 FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) The Company's total mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") portfolio, including MBS held for trading and available for sale, decreased by $42.7 million during the first six months of 1996, (net of $91.0 million of MBS the Company acquired from the Bell acquisition) due to principal repayments and sales of certain MBS which had been classified as either held for trading or available for sale as of December 31, 1995. During the first six months of 1996, loans receivable (including loans available for sale), net of sales and repayments, increased $1.5 billion, or 17%, due primarily to the $1.3 billion of loans added from the Bell acquisition. During the first half of 1996, the Company originated $5.6 billion of single-family home mortgage loans, compared to $2.7 billion during the same period last year. The Bank sold/securitized $4.4 billion of mortgage loans and received $1.1 billion in net mortgage loan repayments during the six month period ending June 30, 1996. The Company's capitalized mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") increased by $17.9 million during the first half of 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to the recognition of MSR from the Company's on-going mortgage banking activities. As presented in Footnote (11) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company capitalized $62.2 million of MSR during the six months ended June 30, 1996, amortized $9.7 million of MSR and sold $2.6 billion of loans serviced for the benefit of others with $35.2 million of associated MSR. During the first six months of 1996, deposits increased $1.8 billion, or 19%. This increase in deposits is attributable to the $1.6 billion of deposits acquired in the merger with Bell Bancorp, Inc. on June 7, 1996, and to various deposit account promotions and competitive interest rates offered by the Company for certain retail certificate of deposit and public unit accounts. From time to time, the Bank uses Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances as a source of longer-term, fixed-rate funds for purposes of investing in loans and mortgage-backed securities. During the first half of 1996, the Bank decreased its level of FHLB advances by $113.3 million, net. During the first six months of 1996, securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by $99.8 million. The Company uses either this funding source or FHLB advances depending on its overall asset/liability position and related interest rate risk management objectives. Recent borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements have included longer-term borrowings with maturities of up to three years. The Company also borrowed $30.0 million in the form of a short-term demand note, the funds from which were contributed to the Bank as additional capital. This loan was repaid during July 1996 upon completion of the Company's $100.0 million subordinated debt offering, which is discussed in this section. Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance ("escrow") increased $131.3 million during the first half of 1996 due to the continued growth in the Company's loan portfolio. Additionally, escrow balances accumulate throughout each calendar year but decrease significantly, primarily in August and December, due to semiannual property tax payments. 21 FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) Table 1 below presents the Bank's position relative to the three current regulatory capital requirements. The Bank meets all of the capital requirements mandated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") at June 30, 1996. TABLE 1 SUMMARY OF CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS - STANDARD FEDERAL BANK June 30, 1996 (In thousands) Stated Required Capital Capital Excess Stated As a % of Required As a % of Excess Capital Capital Assets(1) Capital Assets(1) Capital Percentage ------- --------- ------- --------- ------- ---------- Total stockholders' equity $989,246 6.49% Adjustments for tangible, core and total capital: Goodwill, net of deferred tax liability on core deposit premium (181,477) Core deposit premium (17,546) Valuation adjustment for mortgage servicing rights (11,193) Unrealized net gain on mortgage- backed securities available for sale (10,278) Investments in non-includable subsidiaries (3,049) -------- Total tangible capital 765,703 5.10% $225,069 1.50% $540,634 3.60% Qualifying core deposit premium 17,546 -------- Total core capital 783,249 5.21% $450,665 3.00% $332,584 2.21% (Tier 1 capital) General allowance for loan losses 44,851 -------- Total capital (risk based) $828,100 11.23% $589,726 8.00% $238,374 3.23% ======== 1) The regulatory capital requirements are calculated as a percentage of adjusted assets, as defined by OTS regulation. 22 FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) Pursuant to the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, the OTS has prescribed three separate minimum capital-to-assets requirements which must be met by the Bank: (1) a risk-based capital requirement that "total capital" be at least equal to 8% of "risk-weighted assets"; (2) a tangible capital requirement that "tangible capital" be at least equal to 1.5% of "adjusted total assets"; and (3) a leverage ratio requirement that "core capital" be at least equal to 3.0% of "adjusted total assets." Capital standards for thrift institutions must be "no less stringent" than those applicable to national banks. The capital standards applicable to national banks require a leverage ratio equal to 4% of adjusted assets in order for an entity to be categorized as at least being adequately capitalized. As such, the general minimum requirement of core capital at least equal to 3% of adjusted total assets, which has been de facto superseded, was applicable only to those institutions that received a composite rating of one, which is the highest rating under the "CAMEL" rating system for financial institutions, and those which were, in general, considered strong organizations having well-diversified risks, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent control systems, good earnings, high asset quality and liquidity and well managed on- and off-balance sheet assets. All other thrift institutions must maintain core capital of 3% plus an additional 1% to 2%, as established by the OTS on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, Standard Federal Bank believes that it is required to maintain core capital of at least 4% of adjusted total assets. The various federal banking agencies have formally implemented the Prompt Corrective Action ("PCA") provisions contained in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. The specified capital categories and management's calculations of the Bank's ratios at June 30, 1996, are summarized as follows: Tangible Total Tier 1 Tier 1 Capital Risk-based Risk-based Leverage Capital Category Ratio Ratio Ratio (1) Ratio - ---------------- --------- ----------- ----------- ---------- Well-capitalized N/A >10% >6% >5% - - - Adequately capitalized N/A >8% >4% >4% - - - Undercapitalized N/A <8% <4% <4% Significantly undercapitalized N/A <6% <3% <3% Critically undercapitalized <2% N/A N/A N/A - Standard Federal Bank at - ------------------------ June 30, 1996: -------------- Stated capital (in thousands) $765,703 $828,100 $783,249 $783,249 ======== ======== ======== ======== As a percentage of adjusted assets 5.10% 11.23% 10.69% 5.21% ======== ======== ======== ======== (1) The Tier 1 Risk-based ratio is defined as total core capital (Tier 1 capital) divided by risk-adjusted assets minus general allowances for losses. N/A - Not Applicable 23 Notwithstanding the above ratios, the OTS may deem a financial institution to be classified one category lower than the above guidelines would otherwise indicate. The Bank was categorized for purposes of PCA as a well- capitalized institution by the OTS as of their completion of the Bank's 1995 Safety and Soundness Examination and the Company's management believes the Bank remains so categorized at June 30, 1996. FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED) As a function of its regulatory oversight efforts, the OTS has also defined an interest rate risk ("IRR") component. Initially proposed as an additional component of risk-based capital requirements, it is now likely that the IRR component will be used by the OTS only as a supervisory tool. The results derived from the OTS' IRR model indicate that the Bank was exposed to IRR at a level higher than the regulatory benchmark. The Bank's June 30, 1996 IRR component was $59.8 million; such amount equaling the Bank's IRR component as of March 31, 1996, the most recent date for which data is available. Because the Bank had $238.4 million of excess risk-based capital as of June 30, 1996, this IRR component will neither affect the Bank's continued compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements, nor will it likely result in any increased regulatory oversight. Various Committees of Congress and various federal regulatory banking agencies, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), are currently discussing changes to the federal deposit insurance system to narrow or eliminate the difference in financial characteristics between the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). One of the proposals being discussed would, among other things, assess thrifts, such as the Bank, a one-time fee to bring the SAIF fund into parity with the BIF fund. In the event that such proposal was to become law, the Bank would be required to record a one-time charge to earnings of approximately $65.9 million, or $2.05 per share, after-tax, based on March 31, 1995 balances and a fee of 85 basis points. Thereafter, the Bank's annual deposit insurance expense would be reduced for the foreseeable future by approximately 80% to 100% of current premiums. A premium reduction of this magnitude would represent annual after-tax cost savings to the Bank of approximately $11.9 million to $14.9 million, or $0.37 per share to $0.46 per share, based upon the actual 1995 deposit insurance premiums incurred by the Bank and Bell Federal. During July 1996, the Company completed a medium-term subordinated debt offering of $100.0 million. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay the $30.0 million short-term borrowing previously discussed. The remainder will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include continuation of the Company's previously announced share repurchase program and/or funding of the SAIF/BIF assessment discussed above. During 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Approximately 2% of the Company's common stock has been repurchased to date. Available capital may be used to continue this share repurchase program in the future. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's net income totaled $34.0 million, or $1.06 per share, during the three months ended June 30, 1996. This represents an annualized return on average assets ("ROA") of 0.97% and an annualized return on average stockholders' equity ("ROE") of 14.36%. This earnings performance represents an increase of 19% when compared to the $28.6 million, or $0.89 per share, recorded during the same period in 1995 (ROA of 0.91% and ROE of 13.51%). The second quarter results brought earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1996, to $66.2 million, or $2.06 per share (ROA of 0.96% and ROE of 14.13%), compared to $57.7 million, or $1.79 per share (ROA of 0.93% and ROE of 13.80%). 24 NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased 19% and 16% during the second quarter and first half of 1996, totaling $94.8 million and $182.9 million, compared to $79.4 million and $158.2 million recorded in the same periods last year. The Company's net interest margin was 2.85% and 2.80% of average earning assets during the second quarter and first half of 1996, respectively, compared to 2.67% and 2.72% during the same periods in 1995. The Company's gradually improving net interest margin and a 11% increase in total average earning assets ($13.3 billion during the current quarter versus $12.0 billion during the second quarter of 1995) produced the increased level of net interest income noted above. Like most thrift institutions, the Company has generally recorded higher levels of net interest income during relatively low and falling interest rate environments and has generally experienced a declining net interest margin during periods of relatively high and/or rising interest rate environments. In order to moderate the impact of a rising interest rate environment on the Company's operations, the Company's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have been configured such that, at various time horizons, differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities that either reprice or mature are minimized to the extent possible. Any difference between the amount of assets and liabilities repricing within one year is referred to as the "one-year-repricing gap." At June 30, 1996, the Company had $203.8 million more in liabilities expected to mature or reprice within one year than assets. This $203.8 million "negative" repricing gap represented -1.34% of total assets at June 30, 1996, compared to a "positive" one-year repricing gap of $22.7 million, representing +0.17% of total assets at December 31, 1995. While gap analysis is the most commonly used indicator of interest rate risk in the thrift industry, there is no single interest rate risk measurement system that takes into consideration all of the factors which influence the net interest margin. Other significant factors which impact reported net margins include changes in the shape of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, the volume and composition of loan originations and repayment rates on fixed- rate loans. The table on the following page presents interest income from average earning assets, expressed in dollars and yields, and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed in dollars and rates. Interest income from earning assets includes the accretion/amortization of unearned discounts/premiums and the accretion of net deferred loan origination fees. The yields earned on mortgage-backed and investment securities available for sale are based on historical, amortized cost balances. Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities includes the impact of interest rate exchange agreements (see Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), and the accretion/amortization of unearned purchase accounting discounts/premiums. 24 NET INTEREST INCOME (CONTINUED) TABLE 2 AVERAGE YIELDS EARNED AND RATES PAID Three Months Ended June 30, ------------------------------------------------------------ 1996 1995 -------------------------- ---------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ (In millions) Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate ------------------------------------------------------------ ASSETS: Real estate loans $9,200.8 $170.6 7.42% $8,403.2 $157.8 7.51% Consumer loans 573.0 15.0 10.53 515.0 14.2 11.05 Commercial loans 157.7 3.4 8.77 121.9 2.9 9.62 --------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- Total loans 9,931.5 189.0 7.62 9,040.1 174.9 7.74 Mortgage-backed securities available for sale 662.9 14.3 8.64 -- -- -- Mortgage-backed securities 2,277.5 39.9 7.01 2,522.0 46.1 7.31 Investment securities available for sale 3.7 0.1 6.75 -- -- -- Investment securities 410.2 6.0 5.85 398.6 6.7 6.68 --------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- Total earning assets $13,285.8 $249.3 7.51% $11,960.7 $227.7 7.62% ========= ====== ===== ========= ====== ===== Other assets 679.3 677.1 --------- --------- Total assets $13,965.1 $12,637.8 ========= ========= LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: Deposits $9,780.7 $112.6 4.63% $8,476.6 $102.5 4.85% FHLB advances and other long-term borrowings 1,872.2 28.2 6.07 1,986.0 31.2 6.21 Federal funds purchased and reverse repurchase agreements 850.2 13.7 6.47 848.7 14.6 6.89 --------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- Total interest-bearing liabilities $12,503.1 $154.5 4.97% $11,311.3 $148.3 5.24% ========= ====== ===== ========= ====== ===== Other liabilities 514.2 478.8 Stockholders' equity 947.8 847.7 --------- --------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $13,965.1 $12,637.8 ========= ========= EXCESS OF AVERAGE EARNING ASSETS OVER AVERAGE INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES $782.7 $649.4 ========= ========= INTEREST RATE SPREAD 2.54% 2.38% ===== ===== INTEREST INCOME/EARNING ASSETS $249.3 7.51% $227.7 7.62% INTEREST EXPENSE/EARNING ASSETS 154.5 4.66 148.3 4.95 ------ ----- ------ ----- NET INTEREST MARGIN $94.8 2.85% $79.4 2.67% ====== ===== ====== ===== 25 NET INTEREST INCOME (CONTINUED) TABLE 2 (CONTINUED) AVERAGE YIELDS EARNED AND RATES PAID Six Months Ended June 30, ------------------------------------------------------------ 1996 1995 -------------------------- ---------------------------- Average Yield/ Average Yield/ (In millions) Balance Interest Rate Balance Interest Rate ------------------------------------------------------------ ASSETS: Real estate loans $8,815.7 $327.8 7.44% $8,153.9 $304.5 7.47% Consumer loans 570.1 30.1 10.61 505.4 27.4 10.93 Commercial loans 144.7 6.3 8.81 122.0 5.8 9.60 --------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- Total loans 9,530.5 364.2 7.65 8,781.3 337.7 7.70 Mortgage-backed securities available for sale 657.4 28.4 8.64 -- -- -- Mortgage-backed securities 2,472.7 87.1 7.04 2,531.1 91.2 7.20 Investment securities available for sale 4.1 0.1 6.75 -- -- -- Investment securities 414.7 12.0 5.79 427.6 14.2 6.64 --------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- Total earning assets $13,079.4 $491.8 7.52% $11,740.0 $443.1 7.55% ========= ====== ===== ========= ====== ===== Other assets 699.0 678.8 --------- --------- Total assets $13,778.4 $12,418.8 ========= ========= LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: Deposits $9,600.7 $224.7 4.71% $8,336.5 $194.9 4.71% FHLB advances and other long-term borrowings 1,918.8 57.5 6.02 1,999.6 62.4 6.21 Federal funds purchased and reverse repurchase agreements 817.5 26.7 6.58 824.1 27.6 6.72 --------- ------ ----- --------- ------ ----- Total interest-bearing liabilities $12,337.0 $308.9 5.03% $11,160.2 $284.9 5.12% ========= ====== ===== ========= ====== ===== Other liabilities 504.2 422.7 Stockholders' equity 937.2 835.9 --------- --------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $13,778.4 $12,418.8 ========= ========= EXCESS OF AVERAGE EARNING ASSETS OVER AVERAGE INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES $742.4 $579.8 ========= ========= INTEREST RATE SPREAD 2.49% 2.43% ===== ===== INTEREST INCOME/EARNING ASSETS $491.8 7.52% $443.1 7.55% INTEREST EXPENSE/EARNING ASSETS 308.9 4.72 284.9 4.83 ------ ----- ------ ----- NET INTEREST MARGIN $182.9 2.80% $158.2 2.72% ====== ===== ====== ===== 26 NET INTEREST INCOME (CONTINUED) The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of earning assets and interest- bearing liabilities which are presented in Table 2 herein.

An important measure of asset quality in the financial services industry is the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets. At both June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, the Company's nonperforming asset ratios were significantly below the industry average. The Company's management believes that the allowance for losses is adequate to cover currently estimated losses in the various portfolios. The Company's nonperforming assets are summarized in Table 5 below: TABLE 5 NONPERFORMING ASSETS June 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 ----------------- ----------------- (In thousands) Nonaccrual loans $32,327 $13,643 Past due loans 33,280 24,242 Renegotiated loans 8,989 9,236 ------- ------- Total nonperforming loans 74,596 47,121 Real estate and other repossessed assets ("REO") 8,045 5,006 ------- ------- Total nonperforming assets 82,641 52,127 Less allowance for losses (48,600) (35,400) ------- ------- Total nonperforming assets (net of allowances) $34,041 $16,727 ======= ======= Ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets 0.54% 0.39% ======= ======= Ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and REO 0.77% 0.56% ======= ======= Allowance coverage of nonperforming loans 65.15% 75.13% ======= ======= Ratio of allowances to total loans 0.45% 0.38% ======= ======= Ratio of allowances to total loans and REO 0.45% 0.39% ======= ======= 30 The activity in the allowance for losses on the Company's loan portfolios is summarized in Table 6 below: TABLE 6 ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, -------------------- -------------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 -------- -------- -------- -------- (In thousands) Beginning balance $36,400 $34,450 $35,400 $35,000 Provision for (Recovery of) losses 537 680 1,142 (345) Allowances of acquired institutions 12,000 -- 12,764 -- Recoveries 520 279 886 2,296 Realized losses (857) (759) (1,592) (2,301) ------- ------- ------- ------- Ending balance $48,600 $34,650 $48,600 $34,650 ======= ======= ======= ======= Ratio of net charge-offs to average loans 0.01% 0.02% 0.01% --% ======= ======= ======= ======= 31 NONPERFORMING ASSETS - PROVISION FOR LOSSES (CONTINUED) During the first six months of 1996, the Company's provision for losses totalled $1.1 million. During this same time period, the Company's population of nonperforming assets increased by $30.5 million, or 59%, while its allowances for loan losses increased by 37%. This increase in both nonperforming assets and allowance for losses is primarily attributable to the Company's recent acquisition of Bell Bancorp, Inc. The Company's nonperforming assets remain well below industry averages. NON-INTEREST INCOME During the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company earned $7.5 million and $13.9 million in deposit-related fees and charges, respectively, compared to the $7.0 million and $12.8 million earned during the comparable periods in 1995. The increases of 8% and 9% resulted from the Company's expanding retail customer deposit base and certain fee increases implemented in early 1996. Approximately $4.4 billion of the Company's recently acquired, single-family loans were sold during the first six months of 1996. Such sales occurred in the normal course of business, and resulted in gains totaling approximately $11.5 million, compared to $0.3 million in gains recorded on sales of $1.1 billion of single-family loans and certain mortgage loan servicing rights during the same period in the prior year. The amount and timing of such gains are subject to fluctuations based upon loan volume, the general levels of interest rates and other factors. The Company recorded net loan servicing fee income of $3.4 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to income of $3.9 million and $7.7 million recorded during the comparable periods in 1995. At June 30, 1996, loans serviced for the benefit of others totaled $9.6 billion, compared to $8.5 billion at December 31, 1995, and $6.3 billion at June 30, 1995. The comparatively lower level of loan servicing income recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, was due to the higher amounts of MSR amortization in the current year's comparatively lower interest rate environment, which has produced higher levels of loan prepayments. Recent increases in the general levels of market interest rates have caused loan prepayment rates to decrease, which may lessen the rate of MSR amortization in the near-term. 32 OTHER EXPENSES Table 7 below presents information concerning the Company's operating and administrative expenses.

This ratio is often referred to as an efficiency ratio. The operating and administrative expenses of the Company totaled $60.9 million and $115.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, increases of 31% and 19% over the $46.3 million and $96.7 incurred during the same periods in 1995. The sources of these increases are discussed in the following paragraphs. The Company's gross compensation and benefits expense, before the capitalization of direct costs of loan originations, during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, totaled $35.1 million and $68.3 million, respectively, representing increases of 30% and 29% over the $27.0 million and $53.1 recorded during the same periods in 1995. These increases are attributable to greater staffing levels in the Company's wholesale lending division, its new mutual fund and annuities sales program and its commercial business lending function, as well as normal salary increases for the Bank's workforce, greater use of temporary employment services and increased overtime and commission expenses related to the record loan production during these periods. The acquisition of Bell Bancorp, Inc. on June 7, 1996, and its retained workforce also increased the Company's compensation expense during the month ended June 30, 1996. 33 OTHER EXPENSES (CONTINUED) The Company's occupancy and equipment expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, totaled $14.2 million and $26.4 million, representing increases of 24% and 14% over the $11.5 million and $23.2 million recorded during the same periods in 1995. These increases are due partially to the comparatively higher lending and loan sale volumes during the second quarter and first half of 1996, which increased the Company's microfilming and imaging costs compared to prior periods. The recent acquisition of Bell Bancorp, Inc., and its fourteen branch offices also increased occupancy and equipment expenses in the month of June 1996. The Company paid Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") premiums totaling $5.6 million and $11.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $4.7 million and $9.4 million during the same periods in 1995. The higher levels of expense recorded during 1996 are primarily attributable to a $1.3 billion, or 15% increase in the average balance of deposits outstanding during both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, compared to the respective year-earlier periods. The Company's general and administrative expenses, before the capitalization of direct costs of loan originations, during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, totaled $7.6 million and $15.0 million, representing increases of 44% over both the $5.3 million and $10.4 million recorded during the same periods in 1995. These increases are due to the comparatively higher lending volumes during the first half of 1996. Certain volume-related costs such as contract underwriting, fee appraisals and credit reports are recorded in this expense category. During the second quarter and first half of 1996, the Company's other tax expense totaled $2.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, increases of 84% when compared to the other tax expense incurred in the year-earlier periods. These increases are primarily attributable to the Company's recognition of a one-time benefit during the first half of 1995, which was the result of favorable Michigan state tax legislation that had been enacted. Certain direct costs of originating loans are capitalized and amortized over the lives of the related loans. Various expense categories are reduced as these costs are capitalized. Consequently, the level of loan originations during a period impacts the nominal amount of expenses reported in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Expenses totaling $13.0 million and $27.9 million were capitalized during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $11.0 million and $17.0 million recorded during the comparable periods in 1995. These increases of 18% and 64% are due to the dramatically higher lending volumes during both the second quarter and first half of 1996. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Company's statutory tax rate was 35% for both periods presented. The Company's effective tax rate for each of the periods presented differs from each period's statutory rate due primarily to the nondeductibility of goodwill amortization. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are currently undergoing IRS examinations of the consolidated federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 1990 through 1992. The final determination of tax liability for these taxable years has not been completed. In the opinion of the Company's management, any such final determination or examination of still open returns, including returns of subsidiaries and predecessors of or entities merged into the Company, would not result in a deficiency which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. 34 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Federal regulations currently require that savings institutions maintain an average daily balance, for each calendar month, of cash, cash equivalents and certain marketable securities which are not committed as collateral under secured borrowing arrangements equal to 5.0% of net withdrawable accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less ("liquidity ratio"). At June 30, 1996, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 7.12%. Liquidity levels will vary depending upon savings flows, future loan fundings and sales and operating needs. The Bank does not foresee any difficulty in meeting its liquidity requirements. The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan principal repayments, sales of loans, repayments of mortgage-backed and investment securities, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("FHLB"), securities sold under agreements to repurchase with primary dealers and cash generated from operations. Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, the Bank is required to maintain specified levels of reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. Such balances are based upon the composition of the Bank's deposit base and other specified liabilities. At June 30, 1996, the Bank was required to maintain net reserve balances of $25.2 million. The Bank is in compliance with such regulations. 35 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On July 25, 1995, the Company filed a claim in the United States Court of Claims to recover damages as a result of the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"). Under FIRREA, the Company was forced to accelerate the rate of exclusion from qualifying regulatory capital of approximately $120.5 million of supervisory goodwill arising out of the acquisition of seven troubled savings and loan associations from 1980 through 1983. During July 1996, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of a California thrift in its claim to recover funds lost as a result of FIRREA. The Supreme Court held that FIRREA nullified contracts with the thrift by changing accounting rules and that this legislation, therefore, violated the U.S. Constitution. At this time the Company is unable to predict the likelihood of ultimate success in its claim, nor can it estimate the range of potential recovery. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS The Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on April 23, 1996. The stockholders were asked to elect three directors to hold office for a term of three years and until their successors are elected and qualified, and to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to audit the books and accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.
