                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Trustees
Mid America Bank, fsb
 Employees' Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Mid America Bank, fsb Employees' Profit Sharing Plan as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2000.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's trustees.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Plan's trustees, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Mid
America Bank, fsb Employees' Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2000 and
1999, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying supplemental schedule
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 2000 is presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedule
is the responsibility of the Plan's trustees. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                       December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


(1)  Description of Plan

     The following description of the Mid America Bank, fsb Employees' Profit
     Sharing Plan ("Plan") provides only general information. Participants
     should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the
     Plan's provisions.

     General

     The Plan is a defined contribution plan with a 401(k) salary deferral
     option. All employees of Mid America Bank, fsb (the "Company") are eligible
     to participate in the salary deferral portion of the Plan. Employees who
     have completed one year of service and are age twenty-one or older are
     eligible to receive employer matching and discretionary contributions under
     the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
     Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

     Merger

     On December 31, 1998, Westco Bancorp, Inc. was merged with and into MAF
     Bancorp. Concurrently, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of
     Westchester ("First Federal") was merged into the Company and the Company
     became the plan sponsor for the First Federal Savings of Westchester Profit
     Sharing Plan. The net assets of the First Federal Savings of Westchester
     Profit Sharing Plan, $6,062,898, were merged into the Plan on April 29,
     1999. All former First Federal participants who were employees on January
     1, 1999 became active participants as of such date. A year of service
     includes any period or periods previously credited to employees under the
     First Federal Savings of Westchester Profit Sharing Plan. All participants'
     balances from the merged plan are 100% vested.

     Contributions

     Each year the Plan participants may contribute up to 10% of their annual
     compensation as a voluntary after-tax contribution. In addition, all
     employees are allowed to defer up to 15% of their pre-tax income as 401(k)
     contributions. Under a change effective for 1999, the Company will make
     mandatory contributions equal to 35% of a participant's salary deferral
     amount, up to maximum match of $1,200, for those 401(k) plan participants
     eligible to receive employer matching contributions. Previously, each year
     the Company made matching contributions equal to 35% of the first 4% of
     salary deferral up to $30,000 annual salary cap and for salary in excess of
     $30,000 the match was 25% of the first 2% deferral for 401(k) plan
     participants who had met the service requirements.

   Participant Accounts

   Each participant's contribution account is credited with the participant's
   contribution and an allocation of earnings.  Each participant's Company
   contribution account is also credited with an allocation of the Company's
   contribution and forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested assets,
   subject to federal rules governing employer contributions to qualified plans.
   Allocation of the Company's contribution and forfeitures of terminated
   participants' accounts are based on the ratio that each participant's
   eligible compensation for the Plan year bears to the total eligible
   compensation of all participants for the Plan year.  The benefit to which a
   participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
   participant's accounts.

   Vesting

   Participants are immediately vested in their pre-tax contributions, their
   voluntary after-tax contributions, rollover contributions and merged plan
   accounts plus actual earnings thereon.  Vesting in the employer matching and
   employer discretionary contribution accounts is based on years of service as
   follows: Less than 3 years - 0%; 3 years - 20%; 4 years - 40%; 5 years - 60%;
   6 years - 80%; 7 years or more - 100%.

   Investment Options

   Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions
   in any of eight investment options.

          Certificates of Deposit.   The Mid America Bank certificate of deposit
          -----------------------
          product offers a return equal to a market interest rate that changes
          every six months. This investment is insured by the Federal Deposit
          Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), up to applicable limits.

          MAF Bancorp Stock. Investing in common stock represents an investment
          -----------------
          in a company by which a person becomes a part owner of that company.
          The only direct common stock investment that may be made with employee
          contributions is an investment in the common stock of MAF Bancorp.

          American Funds. The mutual funds offered to participants are all part
          --------------
          of the family of funds known as the American Funds. Mutual funds are a
          collection of various stocks and/or bonds, the type of which are
          determined based on the objective of each mutual fund.

          A brief description of each fund follows:

          Growth Fund of America. This fund seeks to provide long-term growth of
          ----------------------
          capital through a diversified portfolio of common stocks. The fund
          invests wherever the best growth opportunity may be, including
          cyclical companies, depressed industries, turnaround and value
          situations, and companies that appear to offer superior opportunities
          for long-term growth. The fund may invest 10% of assets in securities
          of issuers domiciled outside the United States.

          Washington Mutual Investors Fund. This fund seeks to provide current
          --------------------------------
          income and the opportunity for growth of principal consistent with
          sound common stock investing. The fund only invests in stocks of U.S.
          companies that meet strict standards including those companies that
          have paid dividends in 9 of the past 10 years, and will not invest in
          alcohol or tobacco stocks. The fund focuses on larger capitalized
          companies and seeks to be at least 95% invested in equity-type
          securities at all times.

          Income Fund of America. This fund seeks to provide current income and,
          ----------------------
          secondarily, growth of capital though a flexible mix of equity and
          debt instruments. These instruments include common and preferred
          stocks, straight debt securities, U.S. government securities, cash and
          equivalents. The fund normally maintains at least 65% of assets in
          income-producing securities and may invest up to 15% of assets in
          equities of non-U.S. companies.

          Cash Management Trust of America. This is a money market account that
          --------------------------------
          seeks to provide income on cash reserves, while preserving capital and
          maintaining liquidity, through high quality money market instruments.
          These instruments include commercial paper and cash, government agency
          securities, certificates of deposit, and banker's acceptances.

          New Perspective Fund. This fund seeks to provide long-term growth of
          --------------------
          capital through investments all over the world, including the United
          States. The fund primarily consists of the common stocks issued by
          blue chip companies emphasizing a multi-national or global presence.
          The fund managers focus on opportunities generated by changes in
          global trade patterns and economic and political relationships. These
          securities involve special additional risks that may include, but are
          not limited to, currency risk, political risk, risks associated with
          varying accounting standards, and the possible lesser liquidity of
          these markets. The fund may invest 100% of assets outside the United
          States.

          Bond Fund of America. This fund's objective is to provide as high a
          --------------------
          level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital
          through investing primarily in intermediate to long-term fixed income
          securities. A total of 60% of the fund's investments must be in
          straight debt securities rated A or better, at the time of purchase,
          including corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, and money
          market instruments. The remaining 40% of assets may be in other fixed-
          income debt securities, including lower rated issues and non-U.S.
          issuers.

     Payment of Benefits

     On termination of service participants may elect to leave the funds in the
     plan until age 70 1/2 or receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the
     value of their vested account or installments.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
     basis of accounting.

                                       11


                             MID AMERICA BANK, fsb
                         EMPLOYEES PROFIT SHARING PLAN

                   Notes to Financial Statements - Continued


     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the
     Plan's trustees to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
     amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

     Valuation of Investments

     Investments in mutual funds and common stock are stated at fair value as
     determined by reference to quoted market prices. Money market deposit
     accounts and certificates of deposit are stated at face value plus accrued
     interest which has not been transferred from the accounts which
     approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on
     a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales are computed using
     the specific identification method.

     The change in the difference between fair value and the cost of investments
     for each year is reflected in the statement of changes in net assets
     available for plan benefits as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in
     fair value of investments.

(3)  Income Taxes

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
     letter dated March 28, 1996 that the Plan and related trust are designed in
     accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
     Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
     letter, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is
     currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
     the IRC.

(4)  Administrative Expenses

     The Company generally pays the administrative expenses of the Plan.

(5)  Plan Termination

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
     terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
     termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
