AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MAF Bancorp, Inc. ("Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mid America Bank, fsb and subsidiaries ("Bank") and MAF Developments, Inc. ("MAFD"), as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 and as of December 31, 2001. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is determined by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Stock options are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent that they have a dilutive effect. Stock options are the only adjustment made to average shares outstanding in computing diluted earnings per share. Weighted average shares used in calculating earnings per share are summarized below for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended March 31, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Income Shares Per-Share Income Shares Per-Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount ----------- ------------- --------- ----------- ------------- --------- (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Basic earnings per share: Income available to common shareholders $16,543 23,014,821 $.72 $14,078 23,018,672 $.61 ======= ==== ======= ==== Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 561,199 474,394 ---------- ---------- Diluted earnings per share: Income available to common shareholders plus assumed conversions $16,543 23,576,020 $.70 $14,078 23,493,066 $.60 ======= =========== ==== ======= ========== ==== 8 (3) Commitments and Contingencies At March 31, 2002, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate and purchase loans of $535.1 million, of which $290.8 million were fixed-rate loans and $244.3 million were adjustable-rate loans. Prospective borrowers had locked the interest rate on $203.0 million of these commitments, of which $95.0 million were fixed rate loans, with rates ranging from 5.5% to 8.5% and $108.9 million were adjustable rate loans with rates ranging from 4.75% to 8.25%. At March 31, 2002, commitments to sell loans were $94.7 million. At March 31, 2002, the Bank had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $14.5 million, two of which totaled $13.3 million to enhance a developer's industrial revenue bond financings of commercial real estate in the Bank's market. These two letters of credit are collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government and agency securities owned by the Bank. Additionally, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $7.1 million related to real estate development improvements. (4) Statement of Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods and interest-bearing deposits mature within one day to three months. (5) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications of 2001 amounts have been made to conform with the current period presentation. (6) Segment Information The Company utilizes the "management approach" for segment reporting. This approach is based on the way that a chief decision maker for the Company organizes segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company operates two separate lines of business. Our Bank segment includes all of our banking activities. The Bank operates as a retail bank, participating in primarily residential mortgage portfolio lending, deposit gathering and offering other financial services mainly to individuals. Land development consists primarily of developing raw land for residential use and sale to builders. All goodwill has been allocated to the Banking segment. Selected segment information is included in the tables below: At or For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 ------------------------------------------------------- Land Consolidated Banking Development Eliminations Total ---------- ----------- ------------ ------------- (In thousands) Interest income $ 81,556 -- -- 81,556 Interest expense 45,562 30 -- 45,592 ---------- ------ -- --------- Net interest income 35,994 (30) -- 35,964 Non-interest income 10,777 2,897 -- 13,674 Non-interest expense 23,367 377 -- 23,744 ---------- ------ -- --------- Income before income taxes 23,404 2,490 -- 25,894 Income tax expense 8,366 985 -- 9,351 ---------- ------ -- --------- Net income $ 15,038 1,505 -- 16,543 ========== ====== == ========= Average assets $5,571,154 15,475 -- 5,586,629 ========== ====== == ========= 9 (6) Segment Information (continued) At or For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 -------------------------------------------------------- Land Consolidated Banking Development Eliminations Total --------- ----------- ------------ -------------- (In thousands) Interest income $ 89,159 -- (12) 89,147 Interest expense 56,604 57 (12) 56,649 ---------- ------ -- --------- Net interest income 32,555 (57) -- 32,498 Non-interest income 6,510 3,349 -- 9,859 Non-interest expense 19,602 346 -- 19,948 ---------- ------ -- --------- Income before income taxes 19,463 2,946 -- 22,409 Income tax expense 7,162 1,169 -- 8,331 ---------- ------ -- --------- Net income $ 12,301 1,777 -- 14,078 ========== ====== === ========= Average assets $5,114,236 14,421 -- 5,128,657 ========== ====== === ========= (7) New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," that eliminates the pooling of interests method of accounting for business combinations with limited exceptions for combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001. In addition, it clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. This statement is effective for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. The Company followed this pronouncement in accounting for its acquisition of Mid Town Bancorp ("Mid Town") in November 2001. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which discontinues the amortization of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for impairment, unless more periodic reviews are warranted. Intangible assets with determinable useful lives will continue to be amortized. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impairment of goodwill, which will be finalized in the second quarter of 2002. The Company does not expect to record an impairment charge upon completion of the review. However, there can be no assurance that, at the time the review is completed, a material impairment charge may not be recorded. In October 2001, the FASB decided to undertake a limited-scope project to reconsider part of the guidance in SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions." In particular, the FASB decided to reconsider whether the acquisition of a branch is a business combination and if goodwill recorded in connection with a branch acquisition ("Statement 72 Goodwill") should continue to be amortized. Currently, Statement 72 Goodwill is excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 142. Pending further clarification from the FASB, the Company has continued its amortization of goodwill related to branch acquisitions. The Company's amortization of goodwill related to branch acquisitions amounted to $163,000 before tax for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, and is included in the consolidated statements of income under the caption "amortization of goodwill." The unamortized balance as of March 31, 2002 was $11.7 million and the total expected annual amortization is $653,000 for each of the next five years. 10 The following is a summary of net income and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 as adjusted to remove amortization of goodwill: Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------- 2002 2001 ------- ------ (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Net income as reported $16,543 14,078 Add back: goodwill amortization -- 648 ------- ------ Net income-adjusted 16,543 14,726 ======= ====== Basis earnings per share of common stock: Net income-as reported $ .72 .61 Goodwill amortization -- .03 ------- ------ Net income-adjusted .72 .64 ======= ====== Diluted earnings per share of common stock: Net income-as reported $ .70 .60 Goodwill amortization -- .03 ------- ------ Net income-adjusted .70 .63 ======= ====== Amortization expense and net income of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------- 2002 2001 ------- ------ (Dollars in thousands) Goodwill amortization on branch acquisitions $ 163 163 Goodwill amortization -- 811 Core deposit intangible amortization 424 340 Net income 16,543 14,078 ======= ====== The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are as follows: Land Banking Development Total ------- ----------- ----- (Dollars in thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2001 $ 96,851 -- 96,851 Amortization expense (163) -- (163) Adjustment related to Mid Town acquisition (1,464) -- (1,464) -------- -------- -------- Balance at March 31, 2002 95,224 -- 95,224 ======== ======== ======== The following is a summary of intangible assets subject to amortization: As of December 31, 2001 As of March 31, 2002 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Gross Carrying Accumulated Gross Carrying Accumulated Amount Amortization Amount Amortization -------------- ------------ -------------- ------------ (Dollars in thousands) (Dollars in thousands) Core deposit intangibles $14,651 (5,832) $15,947 (7,552) Mortgage servicing rights(1) 13,309 (2,778) 16,802 (3,845) ------- ------ ------- ------ Total 27,960 (8,610) 32,749 (11,397) ======= ====== ======= ====== - ------------------- /(1)/ Mortgage servicing rights are included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial condition. Amortization expense for the core deposits intangibles and mortgage servicing rights for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and estimates for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 and five years thereafter are as follows. These estimates relate to the carrying value of the Bank's core deposit intangibles and mortgage servicing rights as of March 31, 2002. Core Deposit Mortgage Intangibles Servicing Rights ----------- ---------------- (Dollars in thousands) Aggregate Amortization Expense: For the three months ended March 31, 2002 $ 424 1,117 Estimated Amortization Expense: For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2002 1,200 1,200 For the Year Ended December 31, 2003 1,500 1,700 For the Year Ended December 31, 2004 1,400 1,800 For the Year Ended December 31, 2005 1,300 1,800 For the Year Ended December 31, 2006 900 1,900 For the Year Ended December 31, 2007 600 2,000 11 In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." This statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs. The statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Term Assets." This Statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," as well as the accounting and reporting of the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations- Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." This statement eliminates the allocation of goodwill to long-lived assets to be tested for impairment and details both a probability-weighted and "primary-asset" approach to estimate cash flows in testing for impairment of long-lived assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and upon adoption, this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 12 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information This report, in Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere, contains, and other periodic reports and press releases of the Company may contain, certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "plan," or similar expressions. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ from those predicted. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and the subsidiaries include, but are not limited to unanticipated changes in interest rates, deteriorating economic conditions which could result in increased delinquencies in the Company's loan portfolio, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the Company's loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products and secondary mortgage market conditions, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services and residential real estate in the Company's market area, unanticipated slow downs in real estate lot sales or problems in closing pending real estate contracts, delays in real estate development projects, the possible short-term dilutive effect of potential acquisitions, and changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements for the effect of future events. General MAF Bancorp, Inc. ("Company"), is a registered savings and loan holding company incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware and is primarily engaged in the retail banking business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mid America Bank, fsb ("Bank"), and secondarily, in the land development business primarily through MAF Developments, Inc. The Bank is a consumer-oriented financial institution offering various financial services to its customers through 33 retail banking offices. The Bank continues to expand its coverage of the greater Chicago Metropolitan area, now with 11 locations on the north and northwest side of Chicago, a strong presence in western Cook county and affluent DuPage County, and increasing penetration of the rapidly-growing collar counties of Will and Kane Counties as well as the southwest suburbs of Chicago. On November 30, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Mid Town Bancorp, which added four branches, $307 million of assets and $270 million in deposits to the Bank's branch network. In February 2002, a new branch office was opened in Burr Ridge, Illinois and management has current plans to open another five branches within the next two years. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, along with other borrowings, to make loans secured by real estate, primarily one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. To a lesser extent, the Bank also makes multi-family mortgage, commercial, residential construction, land acquisition and development and a variety of consumer loans. In 2001, the Bank formed a commercial business lending unit to target lending and deposit relationships with small to medium sized business in its primary market areas. Through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, MAF Developments, and NW Financial, Inc., the Company and the Bank are also engaged in primarily residential real estate development activities. Additionally, the Bank operates an insurance agency, Mid America Insurance Agency, Inc., which provides general insurance services, a title agency, Centre Point Title Services, Inc., which provides general title services for the Bank's loan customers, Mid America Investment Services, Inc., which offers investment services and securities brokerage primarily to Bank customers through its affiliation with INVEST, a registered broker-dealer, and MAF Realty Co., LLC III, the holding company of MAF Realty Co., LLC IV, a real estate investment trust that holds participation interests in certain mortgage loans owned by the Bank. The Bank also operates Mid America Re, Inc., a wholly-owned captive reinsurance company 13 which shares in a portion of mortgage insurance premiums received by certain mortgage insurance companies. The Company acquired two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Mid Town at the time of the acquisition in 2001, Mid Town Development Corporation ("MTDC") and Equitable Finance Corporation ("EFC"). MTDC's primary activity was making mezzanine loans on commercial real estate properties that the Bank was making the first mortgage on. EFC's primary activity was making various types of "sub-prime" loans, generally short-term unsecured personal loans. The Company does not intend to continue the activities of these two subsidiaries and will wind down their operations as the loans mature. As it has in recent years, the Company expects to continue to search for and evaluate potential acquisition opportunities that will enhance franchise value and may periodically be presented with opportunities to acquire other institutions, branches or deposits in the markets it serves, or which allow the Company to expand outside its current primary market areas of DuPage County and the City of Chicago. Management intends to review acquisition opportunities across a variety of parameters, including the potential impact on its financial condition as well as its financial performance in the future. It is anticipated that future acquisitions, if any, will likely be valued at a premium to book value, and generally at a premium to current market value. As such, management anticipates that acquisitions made by the Company could involve some short-term book value per share dilution and earnings per share dilution depending on the Company's success in integrating the operations of businesses acquired and the level of cost savings and revenue enhancements that may be achieved. Regulation and Supervision As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank's deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Chicago, which is one of the twelve regional banks for federally insured savings institutions comprising the FHLB system. The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the FDIC. The Bank is further regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as to reserves required to be maintained against deposits and certain other matters. Such regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities. Any change in such regulation, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or Congress could have a material impact on the Company and its operations. Capital Standards. Savings associations must meet three capital requirements: core and tangible capital to total assets ratios as well as a regulatory capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio. The minimum level required for each of these capital standards is established by regulation. The Company has managed its balance sheet so as to reasonably exceed these minimums. Core Capital Requirement The core capital requirement, or the required "leverage limit," currently requires a savings institution to maintain core capital of not less than 3% of adjusted total assets. For the Bank, core capital generally includes common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), and minority interests in the equity accounts of fully consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain servicing rights. Investments in and advances to subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for national banks are also required to be deducted in computing core capital. Tangible Capital Requirement Under OTS regulation, savings institutions are required to meet a minimum tangible capital requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets. Tangible capital is defined as core capital less any intangible assets, plus purchased mortgage servicing rights in an amount includable in core capital. 14 Risk-Based Capital Requirement The risk-based capital requirement provides that savings institutions maintain total capital equal to not less than 8% of total risk-weighted assets. For purposes of the risk-based capital computation, total capital is defined as core capital, as defined above, plus supplementary capital, primarily general loan loss reserves (limited to a maximum of 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets.) In computing total capital, the supplementary capital included cannot exceed 100% of core capital. At March 31, 2002, the Bank was in compliance with all of its capital requirements as follows: March 31, 2002 December 31, 2001 ----------------------- ----------------------- Percent of Percent of Amount Assets Amount Assets ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (Dollars in thousands) Stockholder's equity of the Bank $ 476,686 8.53% $ 462,707 8.32% ========== ===== ========== ===== Tangible capital $ 368,774 6.73% $ 350,825 6.44% Tangible capital requirement 82,170 1.50 81,686 1.50 ---------- ----- ---------- ----- Excess $ 286,604 5.23% $ 269,139 4.94% ========== ===== ========== ===== Core capital $ 368,774 6.73% $ 350,825 6.44% Core capital requirement 164,340 3.00 163,372 3.00 ---------- ----- ---------- ----- Excess $ 204,434 3.73% $ 187,453 3.44% ========== ===== ========== ===== Core and supplementary capital $ 382,237 11.98% $ 364,365 11.31% Risk-based capital requirement 255,304 8.00 257,691 8.00 ---------- ----- ---------- ----- Excess $ 126,933 3.98% $ 106,674 3.31% ========== ===== ========== ===== Total Bank assets $5,589,111 $5,559,787 Adjusted total Bank assets 5,477,996 5,445,742 Total risk-weighted assets 3,302,417 3,335,188 Adjusted total risk-weighted assets 3,191,302 3,221,143 ========== ========== A reconciliation of consolidated stockholder's equity of the Bank for financial reporting purposes to capital available to the Bank to meet regulatory capital requirements is as follows: March 31, December 31, 2002 2001 --------- ------------ (In thousands) Stockholder's equity of the Bank $476,686 462,707 Goodwill (95,224) (96,851) Core deposit intangibles (8,395) (8,819) Non-permissible subsidiary deduction (1,260) (2,055) Non-includable purchased mortgage servicing rights (1,296) (1,052) Regulatory capital adjustment for available for sale securities (1,737) (3,105) -------- ------- Tangible and core capital 368,774 350,825 Recourse on loan sales (5,937) (5,901) General loan loss reserves 19,400 19,441 -------- ------- Core and supplementary capital $382,237 364,365 ======== ======= 15 Changes in Financial Condition Total assets of the Company were $5.62 billion at March 31, 2002, an increase of $22.8 million, or .4% from $5.60 billion at December 31, 2001. The current quarter modest growth rate in total assets is a direct result of a higher level of mortgage prepayments, and borrowers preferring fixed-rate mortgage loans, which the Bank sells into the secondary market. Currently, management expects a continued moderate growth rate for the remainder of 2002 as interest rates are not expected to change significantly. Cash and short-term investments totaled a combined $378.9 million at March 31, 2002, an increase of $154.2 million from the combined balance of $224.7 million at December 31, 2001. The increase is due to the high level of loan sales as well as deposit inflows during the quarter. Investment securities available for sale decreased $6.9 million to $348.6 million at March 31, 2002. The decrease is primarily due to maturities and calls of $32.2 million of asset-backed and U.S. Agency securities offset by $30.0 million in purchases of corporate debt and Bank trust preferred securities. The Company recognized a gain of $465,000 on the sale of investment securities available for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2002. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale increased $77.0 million to $219.2 million at March 31, 2002. The increase is due to $86.0 million in purchases of Collaterized Mortgage Obligations ("CMO"), offset by normal amortization and prepayments. The increase in CMO purchases is primarily a result of the reinvestment of loan sale proceeds during the current quarter. Included in mortgage-backed securities classified as available for sale are $166.3 million of CMO securities at March 31, 2002, the majority of which are collateralized by FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA mortgage-backed securities, and to a lesser extent by whole loans. Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, decreased $195.9 million, or 4.4%, to $4.25 billion at March 31, 2002. The Bank originated $677.8 million of loans during the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, compared to $515.5 million during the prior year period. The higher loan origination volume was primarily due to an increase in mortgage refinance activity, including loan modifications, as interest rates have decreased compared to the prior year period. Offsetting this increase in loan balances were amortization and prepayments totaling $511.3 million, as well as loan sales of $364.5 million. Loans receivable held for sale decreased $115.8 million during the current quarter. The large decrease in loans held for sale is due to the decrease in fixed-rate loan originations during the quarter compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The Bank typically sells its long-term fixed-rate loan originations into the secondary market. The allowance for loan losses totaled $19.6 million at March 31, 2002, a decrease of $53,000 from the balance at December 31, 2001, due to net charge-offs for the period. The Bank's allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was .46% at March 31, 2002, compared to .45% at December 31, 2001. Non-performing loans increased $5.8 million to $25.2 million, or .59% of total loans receivable at March 31, 2002, compared to $19.5 million, or .45% of total loans receivable at December 31, 2001. See "Asset Quality" in this section for a description of the increase in non-performing assets. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 77.5% at March 31, 2002 compared to 100.8% at December 31, 2001, and 102.3% at March 31, 2001. 16 In determining the allowance for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses, management considers: (1) subjective factors, including local and general economic business factors and trends, portfolio concentrations and changes in the size and/or general terms of the loan portfolio, (2) historical loss experience which has ranged from 1 to 14 basis points as a percentage of outstanding loans over the last five years, and (3) specific allocations based upon probable losses identified during the review of the portfolio. Foreclosed real estate increased $765,000 to $2.2 million at March 31, 2002. The Bank's foreclosed real estate at March 31, 2002 consists of 13 single-family homes. Real estate held for development or sale decreased $728,000 to $12.3 million at March 31, 2002 primarily due to lot sales in its Tallgrass subdivision. A summary of the carrying value of real estate held for development or sale follows: March 31, December 31, 2002 2001 --------- ------------ (In thousands) Tallgrass of Naperville $ 7,606 8,498 Shenandoah 4,659 4,495 ------- ------ $12,265 12,993 ======= ====== The Company had 46 lot sales in Tallgrass of Naperville during the three months ended March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2002, 123 lots remain in Tallgrass, with 37 under contract. The Shenandoah project is expected to be a 365-lot development located in Plainfield, Illinois. The increase in balance is due to engineering fees related to the project. Lot sales are expected to commence in late 2002 or early 2003. At March 31, 2002, MAFD has entered into multiple real estate purchase contracts related to the acquisition of approximately 780 acres of vacant land in a far western suburb of Chicago. The aggregate purchase price of these contracts is $28.4 million. The contracts contain various contingencies regarding soil tests, environmental testing, zoning etc., and provide for the takedown of the land in staggered closings over a four-year period. The proposed development is in its early planning stages and may entail the acquisition of additional land in the future. The Company is actively pursuing and expects to receive the required zoning and desired plat with the local planning commission to develop this project with a joint venture partner. Assuming the Company proceeds with this project, based on the existing purchase contracts, current estimated total developments costs (including land acquisition) are approximately $68 million. The project will include single-family residential lots, multi family and commercial parcels along with various other amenities and be developed in units over an eight-year period. Deposits increased $89.7 million, to $3.65 billion at March 31, 2002. After consideration of interest of $23.6 million credited to accounts during the three months ended March 31, 2002, actual cash inflows were $66.2 million. The increase is primarily due to a $97.9 million increase in core deposit accounts offset by a $8.2 decrease in certificates of deposit. Borrowed funds, which consist primarily of FHLB of Chicago advances, decreased $80.0 million to $1.39 billion at March 31, 2002, attributable to the repayment of FHLB of Chicago advances from available liquidity. Borrowings at March 31, 2002 include $55.0 million of the Company's unsecured bank term loan and $10.0 million drawn on the Company's $40.0 million revolving line of credit. Stockholders' equity increased $14.3 million, or 3.29% at March 31, 2002, primarily due to net income of $16.5 million and $2.4 million proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.1 million and cash dividends declared of $3.5 million. 17 Asset Quality Non-Performing Assets. A loan (whether considered impaired or not) is classified as non-accrual when collectibility is in doubt. Generally, when a loan is 90 days or more past due, in the process of foreclosure, or in bankruptcy, the full amount of previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. Income is subsequently recorded to the extent cash payments are received, or at the time when the loan is brought current in accordance with its original terms. This policy is applied consistently for all types of loans in the loan portfolio. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002, interest on non-accrual loans that would have been recorded as income, had they been performing according to their original terms, amounted to $378,000, compared to $297,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Non-performing assets increased $6.5 million to $27.4 million at March 31, 2002, from $20.9 million at December 31, 2001, primarily due to one commercial real estate loan and a secured line of credit to the same borrower aggregating $4.4 million. These two loans were placed on non-accrual status due to the borrower being in violation of certain loan covenants. The Bank expects to be repaid in full in the next 12 months from the net proceeds from the sale of the property. Delinquent Loans. Delinquencies in the Bank's portfolio at the dates indicated were as follows: 61-90 Days 91 Days or More ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Principal Principal Number Balance of Percent Number Balance of Percent Of Delinquent Of Of Delinquent Of Loans Loans Total Loans Loans Total ------ ---------- ------- ------ ---------- ------- (Dollars in thousands) March 31, 2002 57 $6,367 .15% 174 $25,104 .58% == ====== === === ======= === December 31, 2001 62 $8,058 .18% 158 $19,388 .42% == ====== === === ======= === September 30, 2001 49 $6,002 .14% 155 $17,682 .41% == ====== === === ======= === June 30, 2001 37 $3,465 .08% 125 $16,397 .37% == ====== === === ======= === March 31, 2001 37 $4,745 .10% 123 $15,749 .35% == ====== === === ======= === 18 Loan Portfolio Composition.

The Company's principal uses of funds are interest payments on the Company's $55.0 million term loan, cash dividends to shareholders, loans to and investments in MAF Developments, as well as investment purchases, stock repurchases and debt repayment. The Company also maintains a one-year, $40.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit from a commercial bank, due and renewable annually on November 30. At March 31, 2002, the Company had $10.0 million outstanding under this line of credit. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, the Company declared common stock dividends of $.15 per share, or $3.5 million. The Bank's principal sources of funds are deposits, advances from the FHLB of Chicago, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of loans and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities amortization and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the general level of interest rates and competition. The Bank utilizes particular sources of funds based on comparative costs and availability. The Bank generally manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance, but has from time to time decided not to pay rates on deposits as high as its competition, and when necessary, to supplement deposits with longer term and/or less expensive alternative sources of funds. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Bank originated loans totaling $677.8 million compared with $515.5 million during the same period a year ago. Loan sales, and swaps of loans for securities backed by those loans, for the three months ended March 31, 2002, were $364.5 million, compared to $126.3 million for the prior year period. The Bank has outstanding commitments to originate and purchase loans of $535.1 million and commitments to sell or swap loans of $94.7 million at March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2002, the Company believes that it has sufficient cash to fund its outstanding commitments or will be able to obtain the necessary funds from outside sources to meet its cash requirements. Please refer to "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources" of the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2001, for a discussion of the Company's contractual obligations and off-balance sheet commitments. There have been no material changes in these amounts since December 31, 2001. Asset/Liability Management As part of its normal operations, the Bank is subject to interest-rate risk on the interest-sensitive assets it invests in and the interest-sensitive liabilities it borrows. The Bank's exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed at least quarterly by the Bank's asset/liability management committee ("ALCO") and the Board of Directors of the Company. The ALCO, which includes members of senior management, monitors the rate and sensitivity repricing characteristics of the individual asset and liability portfolios the Bank maintains and determines risk management strategies. The Bank utilizes an interest rate sensitivity gap analysis to monitor the relationship of maturing or repricing interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific period of time and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same period of time, and is usually analyzed at a period of one year. Generally, a negative gap, where more interest-bearing liabilities are repricing or maturing than interest-earning assets, would tend to result in a reduction in net interest income in a period of rising interest rates. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would likely result in an improvement in net interest income. Management's goal is to maintain its cumulative one-year gap within the range of (15)% to 15%. The gap ratio fluctuates as a result of market conditions and management's expectation of future interest rate trends. The Bank's asset/liability management strategy emphasizes, for its own portfolio, the origination of one- to four-family adjustable-rate 21 loans and other loans which have shorter terms to maturity or reprice more frequently than fixed-rate mortgage loans, yet provide a positive margin over the Bank's cost of funds. The Bank, except as noted below, has not used derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options or similar financial instruments to manage its interest rate risk. However, in conjunction with its origination and sale strategy, management does hedge the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk primarily by committing to sell fixed-rate mortgage loans for future delivery. Under these commitments, the Bank agrees to sell fixed-rate loans at a specified price and at a specified future date. The sale of fixed-rate mortgage loans for future delivery has enabled the Bank to continue to originate new mortgage loans, and to generate gains on sale of these loans as well as loan servicing fee income, while maintaining its gap ratio within the parameters discussed above. Most of these forward sale commitments are conducted with FNMA and FHLMC with respect to loans that conform to the requirements of these government agencies. The forward commitment of mortgage loans presents a risk to the Bank if the Bank is not able to deliver the mortgage loans by the commitment expiration date. If this should occur, the Bank would be required to pay a fee to the buyer. The Bank attempts to mitigate this risk by charging potential retail borrowers a 1% fee to fix the interest rate, or by requiring the interest rate to float at market rates until shortly before closing. In addition, the Bank uses U.S. Treasury bond futures contracts to hedge some of the mortgage pipeline exposure. These futures contracts are used to hedge mortgage loan production in those circumstances where loans are not sold forward as described above. The table on the next page sets forth the scheduled repricing or maturity of the Bank's assets and liabilities at March 31, 2002. The table uses management's assumptions regarding prepayment percentages on loans and mortgage-backed securities, based on its current experience in these portfolios. The Bank uses the withdrawal assumptions used by the FHLB of Chicago with respect to NOW, checking and passbook accounts, which are 17.0%, 17.0%, 17.0%, 16.0%, and 33.0%, respectively. Investment securities and FHLB advances that contain call provisions at the option of the issuer or lender are generally shown in the category relating to their respective final maturities. However, due to recent volatility in market interest rates, $40.8 million of investment securities with final maturities ranging from 7 to 38 months, but callable in 6 months or less are categorized in the 6 months or less category and $15.2 million of investments with a final maturity of 48 months, but callable in 6 months to one year is categorized in the 6 months to one year category in anticipation of their call. Additionally, $25.0 million of FHLB advances with a final remaining maturity of 75 months, but callable in 6 months or less in anticipation of their call by the lender is categorized in the 6 months or less category and $25 million of FHLB advances with a final maturity of 46 months, but callable in 6 months to one year is categorized in the 6 months to one year category in anticipation of their call. The effect of these assumptions is to quantify the dollar amount of items that are interest-sensitive and may be repriced within each of the periods specified. Certain shortcomings are inherent in using gap analysis to quantify exposure to interest rate risk. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricings in the table, they may react differently to actual changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. This is especially true in circumstances where management has a certain amount of control over interest rates, such as the pricing of deposits. Additionally, certain assets such as hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage loans have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Finally, as interest rates change, loan prepayment rates will differ from those rates assumed by management for presentation purposes in the table. 22 Management believes that its asset/liability management strategies mitigate the potential effects of changes in interest rates on the Bank's operations, and does not believe that the following table is particularly meaningful.

The Bank's one-year cumulative gap grew to (6.88)% at March 31, 2002 compared to (3.57)% at December 31, 2001 primarily due to 1) the growth in core deposit accounts since December 31, 2001; 2) a slight shortening of maturities in the Bank's certificate of deposit accounts; and 3) slower prepayments speeds on loans receivable which slightly lengthened estimated loan maturities. 23 Average Balances/Rates The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Bank's consolidated statements of financial condition and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Average yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yield/cost at March 31, 2002 includes fees which are considered adjustments to yield.

On November 30, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Mid Town Bancorp in a transaction that was accounted for under the purchase accounting method for financial purposes. As a result, the current period's results, other than per share amounts and ratio analyses, are not generally comparable to the results for the corresponding prior year's quarter. The increase in earnings per share is primarily due to higher net interest income and most areas of non-interest income, offset by higher non-interest expense. Additionally, the elimination of goodwill amortization resulting from the implementation of SFAS No. 142 (adopted January 1, 2002) added $648,000 or $.03 to diluted earnings per share for the current quarter. Net interest income - Net interest income was $36.0 million for the current quarter, compared to $32.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $3.5 million or 10.7%. The Company's average interest-earning assets increased to $5.27 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $4.90 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2001, while the Company's net interest margin increased to 2.74% for the current three month period, compared to 2.66% in the prior year period. The improved margin is attributable to a greater decline in the Bank's average cost of funds compared to the decline in the yield on interest-earning assets, due to the shorter-term nature of the Bank's deposit accounts and higher level of core deposit accounts. 25 Interest income on loans receivable decreased $8.1 million as a result of a $14.8 million decrease in average loans receivable, and a 72 basis point decrease in the average yield. The decrease in the average balance of loans receivable is due to the predominance of long-term fixed rate originations over the past 12 months, of which the Bank sold a majority to control its interest rate risk. The decline in the average rate is a function of current originations being at lower interest rates, the downward repricing of ARM loans, and prepayments of higher-rate loans due to declining interest rates. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased $712,000 to $2.4 million for the current quarter, due primarily to a $75.7 million increase in average balances, while interest income on investment securities increased $886,000 to $5.8 million, due to a $184.1 million increase in the average balance of this portfolio. The increase in investment and mortgage-backed securities balances is primarily due to purchases during the quarter as a result of higher cash flows from loan sales as well as the acquisition of Mid Town. The average balance of interest bearing deposits and federal funds increased $125.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the prior year period offset by a 508 basis point decrease in average yield. This increase in balances is due to the high level of loan prepayments and fixed rate loan sale activity which is holding down loan portfolio growth, as well as the strong deposit flows in the current quarter. The decrease in yield is due to the 475 basis points of Federal Reserve Board easings in the last 15 months. The Company currently has a historically high level of liquidity, and currently expects to redeploy the excess amounts into ARM loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities as well as to repay maturing advances and meet seasonal real estate tax payments for mortgage loan customers. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $6.0 million to $25.5 million for the first quarter of 2002, due to a $512.8 million increase in average deposits compared to the prior year quarter, and a 141 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits compared to the prior year's three-month period. Approximately $267.5 million of the growth in average deposits is attributable to the acquisition of Mid Town Bank in November 2001. The decrease in average cost of deposits is primarily due to the downward repricing of maturing certificates of deposit, an increase in low-cost core deposits through acquisition and internal growth and the lower rates paid on these deposits as short-term rates have declined. The Bank expects the average cost of deposits trend lower in 2002. Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $5.1 million to $20.0 million, as a result of a $219.1 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds, and a 50 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds. The decrease in the average balance was primarily due to a $250.3 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances as maturities were not refinanced by the Bank, but rather repaid from deposit inflows and loan prepayments. Most of the repayments and maturities were high cost FHLB advances, which led to a decline in the average rate of borrowed funds. Provision for loan losses - The Bank provided no provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 2002 or the 2001 first quarter. Net chargeoffs during the 2002 quarter were $53,000 compared to net recoveries of $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The lack of a provision this quarter is due to an assessment of a number of factors, including the stable composition of the loan portfolio, good historical loss experience as evidenced by net recoveries for the quarter, and the low level of non-performing assets, which is expected to continue. There were no changes in estimation method or assumptions that impacted the provision for loan loss during the quarter. Non-interest income - Non-interest income increased $3.8 million, or 38.7%, to $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase is due to increased gains on sales of loans and investment securities, higher fee income from deposit accounts and continued positive results in real estate development operations. Gain on sale of loans increased to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $691,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Lower interest rates, and a higher level of fixed-rate loan originations led to increased profits from loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 2001. A $130,000 mark-to-market adjustment is included in gain on sale of loans as a result of valuation of loan 26 commitments and forward loan sale contracts accounted for as derivative instruments. Current quarter loan sale volume was $364.5 million, including $13.6 million of current quarter originations that were swapped into mortgage-backed securities and sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, loan sale volume was $126.3 million. The Company currently expects loan originations to be strong throughout 2002, although trending toward more adjustable-rate loans. Because the Company generally retains adjustable rate loans in portfolio, this expected change in loan originations will result in lower mortgage banking profits, as well as contribute to more moderate balance sheet growth in 2002 as compared in 2001. Income from real estate operations decreased $452,000 to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the prior year quarter. The Company sold 46 lots in Tallgrass of Naperville project during the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to 85 lots for the prior year quarter. However, there was a significant increase in profit per lot is primarily due to higher lot prices on current year sales compared to the prior year, without any appreciable increase in development costs. There are 123 lots remaining to be sold in this 952-lot subdivision at March 31, 2002, of which 37 are under contract. Based on the strong lot demand in Tallgrass, as well as the expected bulk sales of commercial and multi-family acreage in this project. Management currently expects that pre-tax income from real estate development for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 should be in the range of $10.5-$12.0 million. Deposit account service charges increased $1.4 million, or 40.8%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $3.4 million for the prior year quarter, due to continued growth in the number of checking accounts through acquisition and internal sales efforts, as well as fee increases. At March 31, 2002, the Bank had approximately 144,400 checking accounts, compared to 118,400 at March 31, 2001. Brokerage commissions increased $58,000, or 10.6%, to $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in commission income is due to higher sales volumes and more seasoned brokers. Loan servicing fee expense improved $223,000 to a net expense of $(40,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $(263,000) for the prior year quarter. The average balance of loans serviced for others increased 91.0% to $1.32 billion for the current three-month period compared to $797.9 million for the prior year three-month period. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $614,000 for the prior year three-month period due to higher prepayments in the current quarter. The prior year quarter included a $215,000 impairment writedown on mortgage servicing rights as a result of expected higher prepayment speeds at that time. Other non-interest income increased $792,000, or 45.0% to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $1.8 million for the prior year quarter. The increase is due primarily to increased income from loan modification fee income from refinance transactions as well as income from the Bank's mortgage reinsurance subsidiary, which began operations in 2001. Non-interest expense - Non-interest expense increased $3.8 million or 19.0% compared to prior year period, to $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Compensation and benefits increased 25.4% or $2.9 million to $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase is primarily due to increased employee costs from the Mid Town acquisition and two new branches, normal salary increases, higher medical costs, and increased staffing costs due to increased loan origination volume and the Bank's new business banking division. Occupancy expense increased $643,000, or 28.9% to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased operating expenses from the four branch sites acquired from Mid Town as well as the two new branches opened since November 2001. 27 Data processing expense increased $235,000 or 30.8% to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to increased depreciation expense related to additional computer equipment at new and acquired branches. Amortization of intangibles decreased $564,000 to $587,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The amortization relates to goodwill and core deposit intangibles from transactions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The decrease in expense over the prior period was attributable to the elimination of certain goodwill amortization expense resulting from the implementation of SFAS 142, which was adopted January 1, 2002. Other non-interest expense increased $639,000 to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the prior year period. Costs increased due to higher check losses and increased stationery and supplies expense resulting from the addition of two new branches and four acquired branches since the prior year period. Income taxes - For the three months ended March 31, 2002, income tax expense totaled $9.4 million, or an effective income tax rate of 36.1%, compared to $8.3 million, or an effective income tax rate of 37.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The lower effective income tax rate in the current period is primarily the result of the decrease in goodwill amortization expense resulting from implementation of SFAS No. 142 (effective January 1, 2002). Most of the Company's goodwill amortization expense in prior periods has not been tax deductible. Outlook for 2002 As previously stated in the Company's December 31, 2001 10-K, management currently expects earnings per share for 2002 to be in the range of $3.00-$3.05 per diluted share, or an increase of 17%-19% over 2001. For the quarter ending June 30, 2002, management currently expects to report results in the range of $.71-$.73 per share, including income from real estate operations of $2.1-$2.4 million. The Company's 2002 projections assume moderate balance sheet growth in the 7-9% range and a relatively steep U.S. Treasury yield curve, which is expected to result in an increase in the interest rate spread and a corresponding modest improvement in the net interest margin. Management indicates that it is looking for its real estate development operation to contribute $10.5-$12.0 million in pre-tax earnings in 2002 and also reports continued strong growth in fee income. The projections also assume housing and mortgage activity in the Bank's markets remain strong and credit quality remains good. Item 3.
