(the "Company") is the holding company for St.Paul Federal Bank For Savings (the "Bank"), Illinois' largest independent savings institution. At Dec. 31, 1994, the Company reported total assets of $4.1 billion and the Bank operated 52 full-service branches in the Chicago metropolitan area. This branch network is comprised of 35 full-size offices and 17 banking offices located in Omni(R) and Cub(R) super-markets. In addition, the Bank operated 178 automated teller machines (ATMs) and serviced 164,000 checking accounts and 27,000 loans at year-end 1994. Both the Company and the Bank continued to operate other wholly owned subsidiaries during 1994, including St.Paul Financial Development Corporation, Annuity Network, Inc., St.Paul Service, Inc. and Investment Network, Inc. See "Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for descriptions of the Company's affiliates and subsidiaries. During 1994, the Company focused on originating single family real estate loans with adjustable rate characteristics to hold for investment. As a result, single family loan originations totaled $653 million, one of the highest levels in the Company's 106-year history. A significant amount of 1994 originations were accomplished through correspondent loan originators, resulting in more loans secured by real estate in Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. In addition, the Company originated $47 million in loans secured by 5-120 unit apartment buildings in the Chicago metropolitan area and $26 million of consumer loans (mostly auto loans). In 1995, Management plans to increase its multifamily lending to $100 million in the Chicago metropolitan area, originate a $25 million residential construction loan portfolio secured by real estate in the Chicago area, and continue to emphasize consumer lending. Single family origination goals are considerably lower for 1995 at approximately $450 million. Purchases of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) totaled a record $632.0 million during 1994. These purchases were funded with both excess liquidity and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Chicago. Most MBS purchases in 1994 were privately issued securities. The Bank is a consumer-oriented retail financial institution gathering deposits from the neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs of the metropolitan Chicago area with favorable savings patterns and high levels of home ownership. Deposit balances, which are comprised of checking, savings, money market and certificates of deposit (CDs), remained relatively level at year-end 1994 and 1993. Some depositors sought alternative investments in 1994 as Management held deposit interest costs at low levels. In order to fund loan originations, the Company introduced seven- to nine-month CD products, which contain interest rate guarantees upon rollover at maturity, and borrowed from the FHLB and repo market. Despite purchasing and originating MBS and single family loans at near record levels in 1994, interest income contracted modestly. The benefit of higher average earning assets could not overcome the decline in asset yields. Assets acquired during 1994 were generally at rates lower than the weighted average rates of the respective portfolios at the beginning of the year. Downward repricing of adjustable rate loans and the repayment of higher yielding loans and MBS also contributed to the contraction in interest income. Interest rate floors in effect on adjustable rate loans contributed to 1994 earnings, although not as much as 1993. Interest expense edged upward in 1994. The reduction in interest expense associated with lower average interest costs on deposits was more than offset by the additional interest expense on borrowings, which funded much of the 1994 asset growth. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 15 STATEMENT OF CONDITION Total assets of the Company totaled $4.1 billion at Dec. 31, 1994, compared to $3.7 billion at Dec. 31, 1993, an increase of $426.2 million or 12%. During 1994, loans receivable increased $260.0 million to $2.6 billion and MBS increased $393.0 million to $1.1 billion. This growth was funded by a $218.8 million reduction in cash and marketable-debt securities and $430.6 million of new borrowings from the FHLB and repo market. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $160.0 million at Dec. 31, 1994, compared to $336.3 million at Dec. 31, 1993. See "Cash Flow Activity" and "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" for further detail. Marketable-debt securities, comprised of U.S. Treasury and agency issues, totaled only $99.6 million at Dec. 31, 1994, compared to $142.1 million at Dec. 31, 1993. The weighted average yield of these securities was 5.04% at year-end 1994, compared to 4.21% at the end of 1993. Most of these securities are classified as held to maturity under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. At Dec. 31, 1994, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $1.6 million on the available for sale marketable-debt securities portfolio, compared to an unrealized gain of $182,000 at Dec. 31, 1993. Under SFAS No. 115, unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recorded in stockholders' equity, net of the related taxes. See "Note C - Marketable-Debt Securities" for further detail. Higher market interest rates during 1994 produced the market value swing and higher yield. The average maturity of the marketable-debt securities was relatively unchanged at the end of the two years. The largest category of the Company's asset growth occurred in the MBS portfolio. See "Cash Flow Activity" for further detail. MBS totaled $1.1 billion at Dec. 31, 1994, the highest year-end level ever held by the Company, compared to $733.6 million at Dec. 31, 1993. During the year, Management used liquidity to purchase MBS to improve interest income because these securities provide higher yields than similar term government securities. Also, the Company borrowed $210.0 million to acquire MBS at a fixed spread. Similar to the marketable-debt securities portfolio, most of the MBS portfolio has been classified as held to maturity under SFAS No. 115. At Dec. 31, 1994, the Company recorded an unrealized loss on its available for sale MBS of $4.1 million, compared to an unrealized gain of $7.2 million at Dec. 31, 1993. Under SFAS No. 115, unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are recorded in stockholders' equity, net of the related taxes. Market interest rate increases since Dec. 31, 1993 lowered the market value of available for sale MBS, which are mostly fixed rate securities. See "Note D - MBS" for further detail. The weighted average yield of the entire MBS portfolio was 6.02% at Dec. 31, 1994, up slightly from 5.91% at Dec. 31, 1993. Upward repricing of adjustable rate MBS during 1994 was largely offset by the acquisition of securities at rates lower than the weighted average rate of the portfolio at the beginning of the year, which limited the improvement in the weighted average yield. At Dec. 31, 1994, 63% of the MBS portfolio had adjustable rate characteristics (although some may be performing at low initial fixed interest rates). In comparison, 57% of the MBS portfolio had adjustable rate characteristics at Dec. 31, 1993. Some securities may not fully reprice in response to the sharp increase in market interest rates in 1994 because they contain periodic and lifetime interest rate caps. Loans receivable increased from $2.4 billion at Dec. 31, 1993 to $2.6 billion at Dec. 31, 1994. Slowing prepayments and high demand for mortgage loans with adjustable rate characteristics, which the Bank retains in its loan portfolio, generated the $259.7 million increase in loans receivable. At year-end 1994, 77% of loans receivable had adjustable rate characteristics, compared to 72% at year-end 1993. See "Results of Operations - Comparison of Years Ended Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993 - Net Interest Income" for further discussion. The weighted average yield on loans receivable was 7.51%, down from 7.87% at Dec. 31, 1993. Many factors 16 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. contributed to this decline. First, the Bank originated $744.2 million of loans during the year at a weighted average rate of 6.80%, or 107 basis points lower than the weighted average loan rate at the beginning of the year. Second, repayments during 1994 consisted mostly of higher yielding loans. Third, $865.2 million of loans were tied to "cost of funds" indices. Movements in these indices have been lagging behind the sharp upward movements in market interest rates. Deposits totaled $3.2 billion at Dec. 31, 1994, relatively unchanged from year-end 1993. The deposit portfolio's composition between checking, savings and money market accounts (i.e., "core accounts") and CDs was relatively the same at the end of 1994 and 1993. Core accounts totaled $1.4 billion or 44% of total deposits at year-end 1994, while CDs totaled $1.8 billion or 56% of total deposits. The weighted average cost of deposits was 3.85% at Dec. 31, 1994, up from 3.56% at Dec. 31, 1993. Management raised new offering rates on CDs near the end of the year in order to attract new deposits. The weighted average maturity of the CD portfolio decreased slightly during the year from 16 months at Dec. 31, 1993 to 14 months at Dec. 31, 1994. See "Cash Flow Activity," "Comparison of Results of Operations - Years Ended Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993," and "Note N - Deposits" for further detail. New borrowings funded a substantial amount of asset growth during 1994. Total borrowings, including advances from the FHLB, increased $429.0 million to $492.9 million at Dec. 31, 1994. Most of the new borrowings consisted of short-term reverse repurchase agreements and borrowings under the Bank's line of credit with the FHLB. Long-term borrowings totaling $210.0 million were used during the year to fund MBS purchases. The other new borrowings were primarily used to fund loan growth. At Dec. 31, 1994, the weighted average cost of borrowings was 6.68%, down substantially from 9.12% at Dec. 31, 1993. The addition of short- term borrowings lowered the Bank's average borrowing cost. See "Cash Flow Activity," "Comparison of Results of Operations - Years Ended Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993," and "Note O - Borrowings" for further details. Stockholders' equity totaled $351.4 million, or $18.71 per share, at Dec. 31, 1994, compared to $347.3 million, or $17.65 per share, at Dec. 31, 1993. The acquisition of $18.4 million of the Company's common stock (1) and the payment of $5.8 million of dividends to stockholders limited the growth in stockholders' equity created by 1994's net income. The Company also experienced a reduction in the market value adjustment for available for sale securities under SFAS No. 115. The Company does not rely heavily on derivatives in its operations. The notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements at Dec. 31, 1994 was $147.8 million, compared to $30.0 million at Dec. 31, 1993. During the year, the Bank entered into $134.3 million notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements, while $16.5 million matured. The only new interest rate swap agreements entered into in 1994 were in connection with a matched funding transaction. See "Cash Flow Activity - Sources of Funds" for further discussion. Regulatory Capital Requirements: The OTS requires federally insured institutions, such as the Bank, to have minimum ratios of core and tangible capital to adjusted total assets of 3.0% and 1.5%, respectively. The Bank is also required to maintain a ratio of total regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. Total regulatory capital for purposes of the risk-based capital requirements consists of core capital and supplementary capital (to the extent supplementary capital does not exceed core capital). Supplementary capital includes such items as general valuation allowances on loans receivable, subject to certain limitations. The following schedule presents the Bank's regulatory capital ratios as of Dec. 31, 1994. DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS --------------------------------------------------------- Core Tangible Risk-Based Capital Capital Capital --------------------------------- Actual percentage..... 8.51% 8.51% 16.65% Required percentage... 3.00 1.50 8.00 --------------------------------- Excess percentage..... 5.51% 7.01% 8.65% ================================= Actual capital........ $347,837 $347,837 $376,201 Required capital...... 122,654 61,327 180,786 --------------------------------- Excess capital........ $225,183 $286,510 $195,415 ================================= (1) TREASURY STOCK IS CARRIED AS A REDUCTION IN STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 17 In an attempt to address interest rate risk inherent in the balance sheets of insured institutions, the OTS issued a regulation which defines an interest rate risk component to the risk-based capital requirement for those institutions with excessive interest rate risk. Under the new regulation, an institution is considered to have excessive interest rate risk if, based upon a 200 basis point change in market interest rates, the market value of an institution's capital changes by more than 2%. If a change greater than 2% occurs, one-half of the percent change in the market value of capital in excess of 2% is added to the institution's risk-based capital requirement. The new regulation became effective on Jan. 1, 1994. At Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank did not have excessive interest rate risk and was not subject to an additional capital requirement. As of Sept. 30, 1994 (the most recent data available from the OTS' interest rate risk model), the Bank's interest rate risk capital component cushion was $23.7 million, compared to $68.0 million at Dec. 31, 1993. See "Interest Rate Risk" for further details. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, the OTS published regulations to ensure that its risk-based capital standards take adequate account of concentration of credit risk, risk from nontraditional activities, and actual performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily mortgages. These rules allow regulators to impose, on a case by case basis, an additional capital requirement above the current requirements where an institution has significant concentration of credit risk or risks from nontraditional activities. The OTS has issued notice of a proposed regulation that would require all but the most highly rated savings institutions to maintain a ratio of core capital to total assets of between 4% and 5%. If the Bank were required to meet a 4% core capital ratio as of Dec. 31, 1994, its excess core capital would have been $184.3 million, versus $225.2 million under current requirements. At Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank was considered "well capitalized" under the OTS' prompt corrective action regulations based upon ratios of Tier 1 leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital of 8.51%, 15.33% and 16.65%, respectively. See "Note Q - Stockholders' Equity" for further discussion and a reconciliation of the Company's stockholders' equity to the regulatory capital of the Bank. See "Annual Report on Form 10-K - Regulation" and "Credit Risk Management" for further discussion of regulatory capital requirements. CASH FLOW ACTIVITY Sources of Funds: During 1994, the Company's major sources of funds included $432.2 million of mortgage loan repayments, $362.4 million of CD sales, and $429.4 million of new borrowings. Although loan repayments were the Company's most significant source of cash inflows in 1994, loan repayments were at the lowest level since 1991. Higher mortgage interest rates starting in the fourth quarter of 1993 curtailed mortgage refinancing activity, which had reached historically high levels in 1993. Management expects interest rates to increase further in 1995 and loan prepayments to be even lower than 1994 levels. CD sales provided a substantial level of new funds during 1994 and exceeded 1993 CD sales by 30%. Many depositors avoided investing in CDs during 1993 when market interest rates were low, but returned to this investment product when rates began to increase in 1994. During the year, Management focused on selling CDs maturing at seven to nine months. Management believed these were the longest maturities that would be attractive to depositors in light of the volatility of short-term market interest rates. During 1994, Management acquired $210 million of MBS with long-term advances from the FHLB. In addition, $220.6 million of short-term borrowings were used primarily to fund loan growth. Management will continue to rely on short-term borrowings to fund operations until deposit growth or net loan repayments generate sufficient liquidity. See "Uses of Funds" for further detail of matched transactions and 1994 loan originations. In recent years prior to 1994, new borrowings were nominal because asset growth was funded with deposit inflows. Also, except for 1994, the Bank had not 18 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc.

In 1992 and 1993, the only significant new borrowing was the issuance of $34.5 million of subordinated debt by the Company. Part of the proceeds was used by the Company to acquire St.Paul Financial Development from the Bank, and for general corporate purposes, such as financing the operations of St. Paul Financial Development and providing liquidity to finance future acquisitions of other financial services companies. See "Note O - Borrowings" for detail of the Company's borrowing facilities as of Dec. 31, 1994. Uses of Funds: During 1994, the Company used $700.8 million of funds to originate loans for its loans receivable portfolio, $604.9 million to acquire MBS and $362.4 million to repay maturing CDs. In 1994, loan originations reached one of the highest levels in the Bank's history. Management focused on originating single family loans with adjustable rate characteristics through its 52 branches and its network of correspondent loan originators. A combination of competitive pricing and rising mortgage interest rates in 1994 increased the popularity of St.Paul's mortgages among borrowers. The Bank's preferred product was the "5/1" product, which has a fixed interest rate for the first five years and reprices annually beginning in year six. This mortgage comprised $320.7 million of the Bank's $744.2 million of total originations during the year. See "Results of Operations -- Comparison of Years Ended Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993" for further detail. While loans receivable balances were substantially higher at year-end 1994 versus 1993, average loans receivable balances declined slightly. A significant amount of 1994's new loans were originated in the latter half of 1994; the full impact of those second half originations will not benefit average balances until 1995. Management expects annual originations to return to more historic levels of about $450 million in 1995 and does not plan to use correspondents to generate significant loan volume. Most single family adjustable rate loans are expected to be tied to the Treasury bill with only a modest amount of the 5/1 product originated for portfolio. Included in 1995 loan origination goals are about $100 million of multifamily lending in the Chicago metropolitan area and $25 million of residential construction loans. During 1994, the Company acquired $604.9 million of MBS. A total of $210.0 million of MBS was acquired with the proceeds from matched maturity FHLB advances. The matched funding transactions generated 1994 Annual Report/10-K 19 $1.3 million of net income in 1994. Generally, the Bank enters into matched funding transactions when a 1% spread or better can be obtained. The remaining MBS were acquired with liquidity. The Bank's strategy was to enhance investment earnings with these purchases since MBS, at that time, offered higher yields than federal funds and short-term government securities. See "Sources of Funds" and "Results of Operations - Comparison of Years Ended Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993" for further detail. Management expects 1995 MBS acquisitions to approximate MBS repayments unless additional matched funding transactions can be executed. Proceeds from maturing CDs in 1994 increased $105.5 million or 35% over 1993's proceeds. During 1994, the Bank allowed some of its higher rate CD products to run off, while emphasizing the sale of seven-to nine-month CDs and other deposit products. Holding Company Liquidity: At Dec. 31, 1994, St.Paul Bancorp had $21.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $979,000 of marketable-debt securities. A portion of the marketable-debt securities is used to collateralize borrowings of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. During 1994, St.Paul Bancorp's sources of liquidity included $30.1 million of dividends from the Bank and $1.0 million of dividends from Annuity Network, Inc. Uses of liquidity during 1994 included purchases of $18.4 million of Company stock (reported as a reduction to stockholders' equity), payment of $5.8 million of dividends to stockholders and $2.8 million of interest payments on the subordinated debt. During January 1995, St.Paul Bancorp acquired an additional $2.4 million of treasury stock, which brought the total stock acquired under the Company's announced stock repurchase programs to about 5% of issued shares. Dividend payments from the Bank to the holding company are regulated by the OTS. Management plans to pay dividends to the Company from the Bank equal to 50% of the Bank's net income in 1995. See "Note Q -- Stockholders' Equity" for dividend restrictions. See "Regulatory Capital Requirements" and "Annual Report on Form 10-K -- Regulation" for discussion of regulatory capital requirements. Regulatory Liquidity: Savings institutions are required to maintain average daily balances of liquid assets equal to a specified percentage of the institution's average net withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings. Liquid assets include cash, certain time deposits, federal funds sold, and certain securities. This liquidity requirement may be changed from time to time by the Director of the OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to 10% depending upon economic conditions and the deposit flows of savings institutions. During 1994, the Bank held average regulatory liquidity of $288.7 million with liquidity balances that ranged between $176.2 million and $491.3 million. At Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank's regulatory liquidity of 7.2%, or $242.6 million, exceeded the current regulatory liquidity requirement of 5% by $73.0 million. Lower lending goals were established for 1995 to maintain liquidity next year. See "Note O - Borrowings" for description of the Bank's available borrowing facilities. 20 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc.

AVERAGE BALANCES EXCLUDE THE EFFECT OF UNREALIZED GAINS OR LOSSES. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DEC. 31, 1994 AND 1993. General: Net income during 1994 totaled $34.5 million, or $1.70 per share, compared to $41.4 million, or $2.03 per share, during 1993. Earnings per share in 1994 would have been $0.02 lower if not for the acquisition of 1,003,925 shares of the Company's common stock in 1994. See "Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity" for further detail. The lower level of income in 1994 compared to 1993 was associated with a $5.8 million reduction in net interest income, a $4.4 million increase in G&A (general and administrative) expense, and a $2.7 million decline in other income. These reductions were partly offset by a $5.6 million decline in the provision for loan losses and a $371,000 improvement in net operating expenses of foreclosed real estate. The provision for income taxes remained relatively unchanged between the two periods; a decline in pre- tax earnings was mostly offset by a higher effective income tax rate. Net Interest Income: The net interest margin (NIM) for 1994 was 3.15%, or 31 basis points lower than the NIM of 3.46% during 1993. During 1994, earning asset levels expanded while the net spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities contracted. See "Cash Flow Activity" for a discussion of asset and liability growth. Early in 1994 while rates were still relatively low, the NIM was compressed as loans originated and securities acquired were put on the books at lower average rates and higher yielding assets were repaid. The Bank also acquired MBS with matched borrowings. While interest rates continued to climb during the year, the Bank used short term borrowings to finance its loan 22 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. production. The effect of these transactions compressed the Bank's margin further. On the deposit side, the Bank successfully retained balances and kept interest costs low during the year at a level only two basis points higher than the 3.56% weighted average rate at year-end 1993. During the year, the average yield on loans receivable declined 58 basis points, which reduced the NIM by approximately 40 basis points. The origination of loans at rates lower than the weighted average rate of the portfolio at the beginning of the year, repayment of older, higher yielding mortgage loans and downward repricing of older adjustable rate loans tied to lagging indices lowered the loan yield in 1994. See "Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition" for further discussion. Average MBS balances increased by $396.0 million in 1994. During the year, the Bank acquired $632.0 million of MBS with excess liquidity (2) and $210.0 million of borrowings (3). These purchases contributed substantially to interest income in 1994. Meanwhile, the yield earned on MBS declined 77 basis points between the two periods, which reduced the NIM by 15 basis points. Purchases of securities at rates lower than the weighted average rate of the portfolio at the beginning of the year and repayment of higher yielding securities lowered the MBS yield in 1994. However, the overall decline in MBS yield in 1994 began to reverse toward the end of the year through favorable repricing. Unlike loans receivable, MBS repriced upward in 1994 because most of the MBS are tied to the six-month LIBOR and the one-year constant maturity Treasury bill. These indices track short-term market interest rates better than lagging indices. Higher interest expense in 1994 was the net result of higher borrowing costs partly offset by lower deposit interest expense. The use of short-term borrowings to fund asset growth generated $14.5 million of additional borrowing interest expense in 1994. New borrowings increased the weighted average borrowing cost by 84 basis points during the year and lowered the NIM by three basis points. In contrast, deposit interest costs declined $7.3 million during the year. Most of the reduction in deposit interest expense was associated with a 22 basis point decline in the weighted average interest rate paid on deposits during the year, which benefited the NIM by 19 basis points. Lower average rates paid on deposits in 1994 largely related to the maturity of higher cost CDs in 1993 and 1994 and reductions in the rate paid on savings accounts in 1993. The Bank's ability to sustain current net interest income levels during future periods is largely dependent on maintaining the interest rate spread. The interest rate spread was 2.76% at Dec. 31, 1994, or 54 basis points lower than the interest rate spread of 3.30% at Dec. 31, 1993. The specific reasons that caused the decline in the NIM from 1993 to 1994 are significantly different than reasons that caused the contractions in the spread. The spread represents the difference in period end rates, whereas the NIM represents an income statement view. In contrast to the NIM, the Bank's interest rate spread--the difference between weighted average rates on interest-bearing assets and liabilities--was compressed (2) THE BENEFIT TO MBS INTEREST INCOME ASSOCIATED WITH THE REINVESTMENT OF CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS INTO MBS WAS PARTLY OFFSET BY LOWER INVESTMENT INTEREST INCOME. (3) TO MITIGATE THE INTEREST RATE RISK ON APPROXIMATELY $170 MILLION OF FIXED RATE MBS, THE BANK BORROWED APPROXIMATELY $35 MILLION OF FIXED RATE FHLB ADVANCES WITH PUT OPTIONS AND $135 MILLION OF FLOATING RATE BORROWINGS HEDGED BY A $130 MILLION NOTIONAL AMOUNT INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT WITH A PRIMARY DEALER. UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE BANK RECEIVES A VARIABLE INTEREST RATE, BASED UPON A REFERENCED INDEX, AND PAYS A FIXED AMOUNT TO THE COUNTERPARTY. SEE "NOTE T - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT RISK" FOR FURTHER DETAIL. THE BANK ATTEMPTED TO REDUCE ITS CREDIT RISK BY OBTAINING AN UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE FROM THE PARENT COMPANY OF THE COUNTERPARTY, WHICH IS AN A1/A+ RATED SECURITIES DEALER. THE TRANSACTION WAS STRUCTURED SO AS TO PROVIDE THE BANK WITH AN AMORTIZING LIABILITY (COMPRISED OF SPECIFIC BORROWINGS AND THE RELATED INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT) TO MATCH THE DURATION OF THE MBS, AT A PROFITABLE SPREAD FOR FIVE YEARS. IF INTEREST RATES RISE SIGNIFICANTLY, THE BANK MAY EXPERIENCE SOME CONTRACTION IN THE EXPECTED SPREAD ON THE TRANSACTION AS DISCOUNT ACCRETION WOULD SLOW. ANY RESULTANT IMBALANCE IN FUNDING WOULD BE PROVIDED BY LIQUIDITY. IF INTEREST RATES FALL SIGNIFICANTLY, THE BANK SHOULD EXPERIENCE BETTER THAN EXPECTED NET INTEREST INCOME ON THE TRANSACTION. THE BANK CAN ADJUST THE TRANSACTION BY ACQUIRING ADDITIONAL ASSETS OR EXERCISING ITS OPTIONS TO REPAY A PORTION OF THE DEBT WITHOUT PENALTY. IN ADDITION, THE BANK ACQUIRED APPROXIMATELY $40 MILLION OF ADJUSTABLE RATE MBS WITH VARIABLE RATE FHLB ADVANCES. CAPS ON THOSE ADJUSTABLE RATE MBS IMPACT THE SPREAD EARNED BY THE BANK ON THIS TRANSACTION. DURING 1994, THE MATCHED FUNDING TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS FOOTNOTE GENERATED $1.5 MILLION OF NET INTEREST INCOME AND CONTRACTED THE DEC. 31, 1994 INTEREST RATE SPREAD AND NIM EARNED DURING 1994 BY APPROXIMATELY 13 BASIS POINTS. SEE "CASH FLOW ACTIVITY" FOR FURTHER DETAIL. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 23 because the Bank began to raise deposit rates more substantially at the end of 1994 in response to the sharp rise in short-term market interest rates. Conversely, on the asset side, the average yields on the Bank's loans receivable and securities also began to benefit from higher market rates, as new assets began to be replaced at marginally higher yields and the Bank's MBS began to reprice in the fourth quarter. Repricing on loans receivable turned neutral in the second half of 1994. Most of the contraction in the interest rate spread resulted from a 29 basis point increase in deposit interest costs and a 37 basis point decline in the weighted average rate earned on loans receivable. The benefit provided by reinvesting liquidity into higher yielding MBS was largely offset by the use of borrowings to fund asset growth. External forces, such as the performance of the economy, the actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and market interest rates can significantly influence the size of the interest rate spread and are beyond the control of Management. In response to these forces, Management evaluates market conditions and deploys strategies that it believes will produce a sustainable and profitable interest rate spread. See "Interest Rate Risk" for further discussion. Management believes that several product related factors may continue to pressure the Company's interest rate spread in 1995. First, periodic and lifetime interest rate caps on loans and MBS held in the Bank's portfolio may limit repricing on loans and MBS. At Dec. 31, 1994, approximately $950 million of loans receivable and $650 million of MBS contained interest rate cap provisions. If interest rates remain at their current levels, approximately $550 million of loans and $350 million of MBS are projected to hit their caps in 1995. Even more of these assets will become subject to their interest rate caps in 1995 if interest rates continue to rise. Interest rate caps limit the upward amount adjustable rate loans can reprice. This does not mean that they will not reprice, but that the amount of the adjustment permitted using the actual index will be limited. Most of the periodic interest rate caps in the Bank's portfolios are 2%. Second, the Bank has $556.7 million of "adjustable" rate loans that have initial fixed interest rate periods ranging from three to five years. None of these loans are scheduled to reprice in 1995. Third, in addition to adjustable rate loans performing at initial fixed interest rates, approximately $655 million of adjustable rate single family and multifamily loans were at their interest rate floor at Dec. 31, 1994. If rates continue to rise, the Bank's interest expense could rise without a corresponding adjustment in interest income from these loans until the floors are surpassed. These loans will not reprice until their fully indexed weighted average rate, which was 6.65% at Dec. 31, 1994, exceeds their weighted average floor of 7.94%. During 1994, floors provided $12.2 million of interest income and 55 basis points to the overall loan yield during the period. In comparison, floors provided $15.0 million of interest income and 61 basis points to the overall yield during 1993. Fourth, $865.2 million of the Company's assets, including $644.1 million of loans performing at their floor, are tied to indices whose movements lag behind movements in market interest rates. On the liability side, if market interest rates continue to increase in 1995, Management may seek to curtail net deposit outflows by increasing the rate paid on savings accounts or promoting certain CD products. (4) This rate was significantly reduced in 1993 due to declining market rates. Similarly, $220.3 million of short-term borrowings used to fund general operations of the Bank may become more expensive if interest rates rise prior to the funds being repaid. Provision for Loan Losses: The Company recorded a $5.2 million provision for loan losses during 1994, about one-half of the provision recorded during 1993. Lower levels of nonperforming assets, classified assets, and multifamily loan balances secured by real estate in California contributed to the reduction in provisions. (4) HOWEVER, $396.3 MILLION OF CHECKING ACCOUNT BALANCES, WHICH ARE MOSTLY NONINTEREST BEARING, HELP MITIGATE THE OVERALL EFFECT OF HIGHER MARKET INTEREST RATES ON THE BANK'S DEPOSIT INTEREST COSTS. 24 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. Effective Jan. 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 had no impact on the Company's provision for loan losses during 1994 because the Company previously valued loans considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 at the fair value of the loans' collateral. See "Credit Risk Management" and "Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion. Other Income: Other income totaled $29.8 million during 1994, $2.7 million or 8.4% lower than other income recorded in 1993. Lower discount brokerage commissions and gains on asset sales were partly offset by higher other fee income. Discount brokerage revenues declined as a result of lower consumer demand and resulting trading volumes. Gains on asset sales were reduced due to both lower gains recorded on the sale of adjustable rate loans that converted to fixed interest rates and lower fixed rate loan originations for resale in the secondary market. Other fee income increased $2.3 million due to an expansion in the number of checking accounts and ATM transactions. In 1995, Management plans to increase other income substantially by introducing new checking account fees and increasing ATM and other fees currently charged by the Bank. The Bank will continue to originate for sale FHA, VA and conventional mortgage loans in 1995, and in some circumstances, the related servicing also will be sold. However, gains from loan sales are not expected to increase significantly next year. See "Note G - Loans Held for Sale" for further detail. G&A Expense: G&A expense increased $4.4 million or 5.3% during 1994 compared to 1993. The increase was largely associated with a $4.0 million increase in compensation and benefits and a $1.8 million increase in occupancy, equipment, and other office expense. Compensation expense rose due to expansion of the branch network, including eight branches acquired from Elm Financial in February 1993 and two in-store branches opened during 1994, and extension of hours at many of the branch facilities. Also, the 13% growth in the Bank's checking accounts contributed to higher servicing costs, although it has helped reduce the Bank's overall interest costs on deposits. Higher G&A costs are also attributable to higher pension, payroll taxes, and medical costs. Pension costs increased in 1994 as a result of lower market interest rates which reduced the rate used to measure the Bank's pension liability at Dec. 31, 1993. Increased expenses were partly offset by lower adver- tising costs, deposit insurance premiums, and other costs. As a retail depository institution, the Company's G&A expenses may be higher than other institutions. Nonetheless, G&A costs were tightly controlled during 1994 and Management remains committed to ongoing expense control. 1995's expenses should also benefit from an increase in the interest rate used to measure the Bank's pension liability (associated with higher market interest rates) from 7.5% to 8.5%. See "Note S - Employee Benefit Plans" for further detail. Despite these measures, continued expansion of the branch network and its services, as well as general inflation, may push 1995 expenses above 1994 levels. The Company adopted SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Post-Employment Benefits, on a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter of 1994. This statement requires that the projected future cost of providing post-employment benefits (other than retirement), such as medical insurance, be recognized as an expense as employees render service, instead of when the benefits are paid. Since the Company offers few benefits accounted for under this statement, the adoption of SFAS No. 112 had a minimal impact on the results of operations in 1994. Additionally, the Company implemented the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (SOP) No. 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans, beginning in the first quarter of 1994. SOP 93-6 requires the recognition of compensation expense for ESOP shares acquired after 1994 Annual Report/10-K 25 1992 and not committed to be released before the beginning of 1994, to be measured based on the fair value of those shares when committed to be released to employees, rather than based on their original cost. At Dec. 31, 1994, the ESOP had 196,350 shares acquired after Jan. 1, 1993 that are committed to be released beginning in 1996. Implementation of SOP 93-6 had no effect on the results of operations in 1994, although it increased earnings per share by $0.01 because unallocated ESOP shares are excluded from shares outstanding. The effect of SOP 93-6 on net income in 1996 and beyond is not determinable because it is based on future prices of St.Paul Bancorp stock. Operations of Foreclosed Real Estate: The Bank generated a net loss from its foreclosed real estate operation of $2.1 million during 1994, compared to a $2.5 million loss during 1993. The lower net loss during 1994 was associated with a decrease in the provision for losses and higher gains on the sale of REO properties. During 1994, the Bank recognized a large loss on an apartment building scheduled to be sold in 1995. See "Credit Risk Management" and "Note I - Foreclosed Real Estate" for further discussion of REO. Income Taxes: Income taxes totaled $19.0 million or 35.5% of pre-tax income during 1994, compared to $19.1 million or 31.5% of pre-tax income during 1993. Higher effective federal and state income tax rates produced the 1994 rate increase. See "Note P - Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of income tax expense at the statutory rate to the effective tax rate. In 1991, the Multi-State Tax Commission ("MTC") reactivated efforts to develop a uniform allocation and apportionment methodology for the financial services industry. In the fall of 1994, the MTC approved a methodology that, in part, would tax income earned by out-of-state financial institutions on loans secured by real estate in the taxing state. The MTC has recommended that states adopt the methodology for the 1996 tax year. Management believes it is likely that the majority of states will adopt the methodology and that some states, such as California, may implement the methodology for the 1995 tax year. Management estimates that the impact of adoption of the methodology (or similar methodologies) by California and other states could increase the Bank's effective tax rate in the range of 1% to 1.5%. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DEC. 31, 1993 AND 1992. General: Net income during 1993 totaled $41.4 million or $2.03 per share, compared to $37.7 million or $2.00 per share recorded in 1992. The benefit provided by an $11.1 million improvement in net interest income and higher other income of $4.2 million was partly offset by an $11.5 million increase in G&A expenses and a $1.2 million increase in foreclosed real estate losses. A decline in the effective income tax rate from 35.0% in 1992 to 31.5% in 1993 also contributed to the higher level of net income in 1993. Net Interest Income: The NIM increased from 3.27% in 1992 to 3.46% in 1993. This growth was not surprising, because the interest rate spreads reported in 1993 were among the highest spreads ever reported by the Company. The drop in market interest rates in 1993 allowed the Bank to lower the rate paid to depositors. Lower rates offered by the Bank on its deposit products as well as the "parking" of funds by consumers in low-cost regular savings accounts contributed to the lower rate. The reduction in the Bank's deposit rates in 1993 occurred ahead of the decline in asset yields. Lower asset yields in 1993 were attributable to loan refinancing activity and downward repricing of adjustable rate loans and MBS. Additionally, interest rate floors on single and multifamily loans in 1993 provided $15.0 million of net interest income (or 42 basis points of the NIM) that otherwise would not have been realized. 26 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. 26 Also benefitting net interest income in 1993 was the acquisition of Elm Financial on Feb. 23, 1993. In connection with the acquisition, the Bank added $228.8 million of loans receivable at a weighted average yield of 8.83% and $312.2 million of deposits at a weighted average cost of 3.60%. Excess liquidity generated by consumers who "parked" deposit funds in low-cost deposit products allowed the Bank to reduce its level of borrowings. The replacement of higher cost borrowed funds with low cost deposits also improved NIM and net interest income. The Company's interest rate spread was 3.30% at year-end 1993, 18 basis points lower than the 3.48% interest rate spread at Dec. 31, 1992. At year-end 1993, about $894.2 million of loans were at their weighted average floor of 8.07%. Had floors not been in effect on these loans, their weighted average interest rate would have been 6.35%, or 172 basis points lower. Provision for Loan Losses: The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $10.8 million during 1993, relatively unchanged from the provision recorded during 1992. See "Credit Risk Management" and "Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for further discussion of loss provisions and the adequacy of the accumulated provision for loan losses. Other Income: Other income totaled $32.5 million in 1993, up 14.7% or $4.2 million from $28.3 million in 1992. The most significant improvement occurred in other fee income (including checking and ATM fees), which increased $4.5 million or 44.2%. Increases in both the number of transactions and fees charged per transaction contributed to the improvement. Higher discount brokerage commissions and interest income received on a tax refund produced most of the remaining increase in other income. Brokerage commissions increased because of higher trading volumes and 1992's Investment Network expansion into all Bank branches. The low interest rate environment and stock market performance also encouraged retail investors to pursue alternative investments. Net gains on asset sales totaled $2.1 million during 1993, compared to $3.0 million during 1992. Approximately two-thirds of the decrease was caused by a reduction in the sale of adjustable rate loans (previously held by the Company for investment) that converted to a fixed interest rate. The remaining decline primarily was associated with lower originations of fixed rate loans that were sold in the secondary market. G&A Expense: G&A expense increased $11.5 million or 16.2% during 1993. Most of the 1993 cost increase was associated with the acquisition of eight branch offices from Elm Financial, the opening of two additional branches, installation of 25 ATMs during 1993, additional costs for Omni(R) facilities opened during 1992, and an increase in the number of checking accounts serviced, from 110,000 at Dec. 31, 1992 to 146,000 at Dec. 31, 1993. Additional compensation and benefit costs were also incurred in 1993 as a result of expanded hours and services provided by other branches and support departments of the Bank. Loss on Foreclosed Real Estate: The Company recorded a loss on foreclosed real estate of $2.5 million during 1993, compared to $1.3 million during 1992. Provisions for foreclosed real estate losses were relatively level between the two periods. Generally, the higher loss in 1993 resulted from lower gains on the sale of real estate. See "Credit Risk Management" and "Note I - Foreclosed Real Estate" for further details. Income Taxes: Despite higher 1993 pre-tax earnings of $2.4 million and a 1% increase in the 1993 federal statutory rate, income taxes declined by $1.3 million. The recognition of $1.1 million of tax refunds and an increase in the statutory rates used to value deferred tax assets allowed the effective tax rate to decline from 35.0% in 1992 to 31.5% in 1993. See "Note P - Income Taxes" for further details on the Company's effective income tax rate. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 27 KEY CREDIT STATISTICS AT OR FOR THE YEARS ENDED DEC. 31 -- DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS KEY CREDIT RATIOS 1994 1993 1992 -------------------------- Net charge-offs to average loans receivable and foreclosed real estate......................... 0.41% 0.69% 0.41% Net California charge-offs to average California loans receivable and foreclosed real estate... 1.27 2.01 0.32 Loan loss reserve to total loans............................................................... 1.62 1.98 2.10 Loan loss reserve to nonperforming loans....................................................... 424.72 156.99 165.81 Nonperforming assets to total assets........................................................... 0.66 1.34 1.38 General valuation allowance to nonperforming assets............................................ 143.24 85.41 97.30 General valuation allowance to nonperforming assets, plus TDRs................................. 143.24 64.92 64.13 ========================== 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 ---------------- ---------------- --------------- --------------- ----------------- LOAN PORTFOLIO MORTGAGE LOANS 1-4 family units............ $1,530,132 59% $1,190,273 51% $1,080,374 47% $1,145,898 47% $1,093,571 45% Multifamily units........... 993,122 38 1,057,571 46 1,141,002 50 1,223,759 50 1,257,101 52 Commercial.................. 63,983 3 73,029 3 66,725 3 65,129 3 71,758 3 Land and land development........... 224 * 10,307 * 3,126 * 2,304 * 2,400 * ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Total mortgage loans........ $2,587,461 100% $2,331,180 100.0% $2,291,227 100.0% $2,437,090 100.0% $2,424,830 100.0% ================ ================ ================ ================ ================ CONSUMER LOANS Secured by deposits......... $ 1,928 8% $ 2,300 11% $ 2,374 9% $ 3,664 15% $ 4,203 16% Education (guaranteed)...... 584 3 2,166 11 2,194 8 2,620 11 2,802 11 Home improvement............ 832 4 1,110 6 1,589 6 2,367 10 2,735 10 Auto........................ 19,392 83 13,971 71 9,704 35 5,198 21 6,062 23 Credit card and personal.... 380 2 166 1 11,791 43 10,765 43 10,365 40 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Total consumer loans........ $ 23,116 100% $ 19,713 100.0% $ 27,652 100.0% $ 24,614 100.0% $ 26,167 100.0% ================ ================ ================ ================ ================ Total loans held for investment............. $2,610,577 $2,350,893 $2,318,879 $2,461,704 $2,450,997 ================ ================ ================ ================ ================ Weighted average rate....... 7.51% 7.88% 8.53% 9.52% 10.07% ================ ================ ================ ================ ================ *LESS THAN 1% 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Troubled Debt Nonperforming Troubled Debt Nonperforming Restructuring Assets Restructuring Assets --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent OF NONPERFORMING ASSETS STATE California......................... $ -- --% $ 6,748 24.9% $ -- --% $18,043 36.4% Illinois........................... -- -- 13,498 49.8 -- -- 21,343 43.1 Texas.............................. -- -- 47 0.2 -- -- 151 0.3 Washington......................... -- -- 6,623 24.4 15,646 100.0 5,974 12.0 Wisconsin.......................... -- -- -- -- -- -- 3,409 6.9 Other.............................. -- -- 74 0.3 -- -- 116 0.2 Consumer loans..................... -- -- 101 0.4 -- -- 555 1.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total.............................. $ -- --% $27,091 100.0% $15,646 100.0% $49,591 100.0% ============================================================================================= CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT At Dec. 31, 1994, the loans receivable portfolio was primarily comprised of residential mortgages, secured by both single family and multifamily dwellings. The loan portfolio also includes, but to a much lesser extent, commercial real estate loans, land loans and consumer loans. See "Loan Portfolio" table for further detail. Nonperforming loans declined 66% to $9.9 million at Dec. 31, 1994. Nonperforming multifamily and commercial loans declined $11.3 million, while nonperforming 28 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. single family loans declined by $5.6 million. Other delinquent multifamily and commercial loans declined by 69% and other delinquent single family loans declined 4% during 1994. See "Nonperforming Loans" and "Delinquent Loans Accounted for on an Accrual Basis" tables for further detail. Impaired loans also declined during 1994 to total $24.8 million or 0.60% of total assets at Dec. 31, 1994. See "Note E - Loans Receivable" for impaired loans detail. See "Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for a description of the Company's policy for placing loans on nonaccrual. Charge-offs also declined during the current year. In 1994, $9.5 million in net charge-offs were recorded on loans, compared to $13.8 million during 1993 and $8.1 million during 1992. Of the $9.5 million of net charge-offs in 1994, $2.2 million represented specific reserves established prior to 1994. Most of these charge-offs related to the Bank's nationwide multifamily and commercial real estate loan portfolio. Net charge-offs to average loans receivable totaled 0.39% during the current year, compared to ratios for 1993 and 1992 of 0.56% and 0.34%, respectively. See "Accumulated Provision for Loan Losses Activity" table for further detail. Toward the end of 1994, the Bank's research and analysis, along with the Bank's portfolio trends, indicated the emergence of an overall improving California economy. In large measure, these trends resulted in the level of loss provisions determined by the Bank's loan loss reserve methodology to be below net charge-offs. See "Note A -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for discussion of the Bank's loan loss reserve methodology. The persistence of the California economic slump into 1994 was primarily responsible for the net charge-offs recognized during the year. During the past three years, changing demographics, the defense industry restructuring, high unemployment and other weaknesses in the California economy have adversely influenced, to varying degrees, the valuations of real estate throughout California. Included in the 1994 charge-offs were $8.4 million of losses from California loans. In comparison, $12.0 million and $2.3 million of loan charge- offs on California loans were recorded in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Nonperforming loans secured by real estate located in California totaled $1.9 million during the current year, compared to $7.5 million in 1993. During 1994, Management aggressively dealt with the loans in the weakest markets. Although these efforts contributed to most of the Bank's charge-offs, they also helped to clean up the Bank's worst credits and strengthened the quality of the portfolio. See "Note V - Concentration of Credit Risk" for further detail. California contains many distinct real estate markets. Therefore, even though the overall trends for the state appear favorable, particularly in northern California, more localized problems can occur from time to time that affect economies and can reduce real estate values. Because the Bank experienced some slippage in portfolio quality in some parts of Orange County in 1994, and because of the well-publicized securities losses of that local governmental unit, Management plans to be particularly mindful and proactive in analyzing and administering the loans in that portfolio. During 1994, Management concentrated its lending efforts on single family mortgage loan originations. A significant number of 1994 originations were accomplished through correspondent loan originators, resulting in higher loan balances secured by real estate in Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. At Dec. 31, 1994, the largest geographic concentration of collateral supporting single family loans was in Illinois. See "Note V - Concentration of Credit Risk" for further detail. Originations in 1994 also included loans secured by five to 120 unit apartment buildings in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Company originated $47 million of multifamily loans in 1994 under this new lending program, which compared favorably to Management's goal of $50 million. Generally, loans originated though this new apartment loan origination program represent first mortgages with a loan to value ratio less than 80% and a debt coverage ratio of more than 120%. Also, the typical loan is personally guaranteed by the borrower and does not exceed $2.0 million. Independent appraisals and environmental evaluations were obtained in accordance with federal regulations or as deemed warranted. Annual inspections of the real estate, analysis of the property and borrower operating statements, and evaluation of loan loss allowances are performed in accordance with established Bank policies. For 1995, Management has expanded the program to a 100-mile radius of Chicago and expects to originate as much as $100 million of new loans. Also, Management expects to originate a $25 million portfolio of residential construction loans in the Chicago area. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 29 The Company no longer originates multifamily or commercial real estate loans secured by collateral located outside the Midwest, except to facilitate the sale of REO, or in connection with the repurchase of loans sold with recourse. Prior to 1991, the Bank originated multifamily and commercial real estate loans on a nationwide basis, which Management refers to as nationwide loans. The largest geographic concentrations of collateral supporting multifamily real estate loans were in California (54.0%), Washington State (10.3%), and Illinois (11.7%). Principal repayments reduced the level of nationwide loans from Dec. 31, 1993 to Dec. 31, 1994 by $140.7 million. Furthermore, nationwide loans secured by real estate located in California declined by $87.2 million during 1994. Nationwide loans sold with recourse also declined in 1994. See "Note V - Concentration of Credit Risk" and "Note T - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk" for further detail. Approximately 75% of the nationwide loans are scheduled to mature in years 1996 through 1998. When these loans mature, the mortgages will either be repaid or, depending upon the circumstances, be refinanced or foreclosed. Management is currently preparing its strategy for each loan expected to mature between 1996 and 1998. In evaluating whether to refinance an existing multifamily or commercial real estate loan, Management will consider, among other factors, the current and anticipated economic climate, portfolio risks, prevailing real estate market conditions, and the Bank's current underwriting standards. Management hopes to retain the most desirable loans in this portfolio through refinancing, including certain loans that had been sold with recourse. Under its plan to refinance quality loans, Management is prepared not only to refinance certain sold loans, but also to provide additional funds to improve the Bank's priority regarding certain subordinated mortgages. For loans of lesser quality that are scheduled to mature within the next few years, Management will demand repayment or in some cases, negotiate concessions from the borrowers with the intent of improving the credit quality of the loans if the consequences of foreclosure would be less desirable. Depending upon the strategy deployed, the amount of the Bank's charge-offs would be affected. Management may also from time to time consider selling or securitizing small parts of the multifamily portfolio, depending upon the terms and the value of the resulting transaction. However, Management generally believes that a larger bulk sale of loans would not provide an optimum repayment method at this time. Management believes that, based on economic conditions known today, loan loss reserves of the Bank are adequate to absorb the inherent losses in the portfolio as it relates to current plans to refinance or liquidate the multifamily real estate portfolio as it matures. The Bank owns a $9.2 million note in a $940 million loan syndication to partnerships controlled by Olympia and York (O&Y). The notes are secured by three New York City office buildings. The loan is currently being renegotiated with O&Y in the context of an overall bankruptcy. The loan is current and performing under its payment terms, although there are nonmonetary events of default as asserted by the Trustee for the Indenture that represents the noteholders. This loan is considered "impaired" under SFAS No. 114, and has been evaluated in connection with the Bank's loan loss reserve methodology. Management has provided a substantial "specific valuation allowance" as well as a general valuation allowance allocation to this credit. Depending on the progress of the restructuring negotiations and collateral evaluation, Management could begin to charge off some or all of these reserves in 1995. See "Note E - Loans Receivable" for further detail. As of Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank's ratio of classified assets to tangible capital and general valuation allowance was 56.1%, considerably lower than the ratio reported at Dec. 31, 1993 of 65.3%. The Bank has submitted a plan to the OTS to reduce the ratio of classified assets to tangible capital and general loan loss reserves to less than 50% by June 30, 1995. Foreclosed Real Estate: Foreclosed real estate declined $2.6 million to total $16.5 million at year-end. During the year, title was taken on $19 million of real estate, while $22 million of real estate was sold or reduced through valuation allowances and charge-offs. At year-end 1994, the Company had a $10.8 million net investment in two apartment buildings (located in Washington State and California) and $1.8 million invested in an Illinois commercial real estate building. The remaining $4.6 million of foreclosed real estate was comprised of single family real estate properties primarily located in the Chicago metropolitan area.

INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk represents a measure of the sensitivity of the Bank's earnings and impact on stockholders' equity due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk generally exists because the Bank chooses to accept this risk in connection with its profit motives and business objectives. Management captures and measures the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk using complex financial models. The OTS also measures the Bank's interest rate risk using its own financial model to determine whether an interest rate risk regulatory capital component is warranted. The results of both these models are reported to the Bank's Board of Directors and reviewed to determine 32 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. that the risks assumed were in conformity with the Bank's policies for interest rate risk. At the end of 1994, the Bank's interest rate risk exposure was substantially more than it was at Dec. 31, 1993. The Bank's interest rate position, as measured by the OTS at Sept. 30, 1994, did not require regulatory capital allocation at that time. (5) See "Regulatory Capital Requirements" for further detail. Traditionally, financial institutions have used "GAP" analysis as a measure of their interest rate sensitivity. GAP is the ratio of interest-rate sensitive assets to interest-rate sensitive liabilities over specified time horizons, expressed as a percent of total assets. A positive GAP indicates that cumulative interest-rate sensitive assets exceed cumulative interest-rate sensitive liabilities at the dates indicated, and suggests that net interest income would increase if market rates increased. The GAP also assumes that volumes and spreads are constants. The historical trend of the GAP at one, three and five years is presented below. (6) 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 ----------------------------------- One year..... 4.40% 16.79% 16.84% 12.47% 6.51% Three years.. 3.93 10.94 4.06 2.02 8.50 Five years... 3.17 10.63 5.68 1.83 7.03 =================================== Management considers a range of plus or minus 15% to be a desirable one-year GAP position. The Bank's one-year GAP declined from a positive 16.79% at Dec. 31, 1993 to a positive 4.40% at Dec. 31, 1994. The reduction in the positive GAP position this year is reflective of the impact of additional interest rate risk in the Bank primarily related to 1994's transactions. Under traditional GAP theory, the Bank's positive GAP had put the Bank in a position to profit from higher interest rates. However, as discussed in the "Results of Operations - Comparison of Years Ended Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993 - Net Interest Income," the Bank's NIM, net interest spread, and net interest income were reduced in 1994 compared to 1993, despite a positive GAP and rising interest rates during 1994. The reasons for those reductions have been explained throughout "Management's Discussion and Analysis." Although GAP analysis provides some narrow insights into the repricing of the Bank's balance sheet, for various reasons, the GAP analysis in recent years has not provided the Bank with a reliable measure of its interest rate risk exposure because of its imprecision and inherent limitations. Internally, Management relies on its models and financial simulations to evaluate the Bank's interest rate risk. Management believes that GAP analysis is of limited value in assessing the extent of interest rate risk because it fails to account for interest rate floors and caps, (7) basis risk (i.e., the divergent characteristics of different types of financial instruments) when repricing occurs, and the interplay of the pricing of new transactions upon the net interest spread, especially during a volatile interest rate horizon, like 1994. GAP analysis also has other inherent problems. To adjust for the limitations in traditional GAP analysis, Management makes adjustments for floors and caps in its other analyses. Such other modeling and simulation techniques have corresponded with the trend in the Bank's net interest margin. See "Results of Operations - Comparison of Years Ended Dec. 31, 1994 and 1994 - Net Interest Income" for discussion of factors affecting the Bank's interest rate spread. (5) A TWO-QUARTER TIME LAG EXISTS BETWEEN WHEN INTEREST RATE EXPOSURES AS OF A BALANCE SHEET DATE ARE REPORTED TO THE OTS AND WHEN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IS ASSESSED. (6) PRIOR TO 1993, OTS ASSUMPTIONS FOR PREPAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL RATES WERE USED. ASSUMPTIONS USED FOR 1993'S AND 1994'S GAP WERE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES. DETAIL ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE TABLE ARE PROVIDED IN THE NOTES TO THE INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY GAP ANALYSIS TABLE. (7) INTEREST RATE FLOORS IN EFFECT ON $655.4 MILLION OF ADJUSTABLE RATE LOANS AT DEC. 31, 1994 AND $894.2 MILLION AT DEC. 31, 1993 SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN EVALUATING THE GAP RESULTS. FLOORS ESTABLISH A MINIMUM RATE FOR ARMS, EVEN THOUGH THE FULLY INDEXED RATE ON ARMS MAY BE LOWER. THESE LOANS WILL NOT REPRICE UNTIL THE FULLY-INDEXED ARM RATE EXCEEDS THE EXISTING FLOOR RATE. AT DEC. 31, 1994, THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULLY-INDEXED RATE AND THE LOAN FLOORS WAS 129 BASIS POINTS. THESE LOANS WILL NOT ACTUALLY REPRICE UNTIL THE UNDERLYING INDICES INCREASE AN AVERAGE OF 129 BASIS POINTS. CONSEQUENTLY, FLOORS CREATE AN ARTIFICIAL FIXED RATE LOAN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND OVERSTATE THE POSITIVE GAP RESULTS UNLESS INTEREST RATES WERE TO INCREASE PRECIPITOUSLY. INTEREST RATE CAPS IN EFFECT ON APPROXIMATELY $950 MILLION OF LOANS AND $650 MILLION OF MBS SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED IN UNDERSTANDING GAP RESULTS. FOR THESE LOANS, THE AMOUNT OF REPRICING WOULD BE LIMITED BY THE INTEREST RATE CAP. PERIODIC RATE CAPS LIMIT THE TOTAL RATE ADJUSTMENT ON A LOAN EITHER ANNUALLY OR SEMI-ANNUALLY. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 33 INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY GAP ANALYSIS (A) AT DEC. 31 -- DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS 1994 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted More than 6 Average % of 6 Months Months to Over Rate Balance Total or Less 1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years 5 Years --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS Investments: (B) Adjustable rate............. 4.85% $ 39,543 1% $ 30,390 $ 9,153 $ -- $ -- $ -- Fixed rate.................. 5.55 145,332 4 43,255 1,974 50,280 19,976 29,847 Mortgage-backed securities: (C) Adjustable rate............. 5.27 717,476 18 352,206 365,270 -- -- -- Fixed rate.................. 7.33 409,141 11 21,873 2,859 89,096 63,313 232,000 Mortgage loans: (C) Adjustable and renegotiable rate....................... 7.27 1,980,835 50 1,077,747 400,237 278,471 224,380 -- Fixed rate.................. 8.28 606,626 15 46,810 36,716 184,682 106,967 231,451 Consumer loans (C)........... 7.93 23,116 1 3,931 2,146 6,823 5,117 5,099 Assets held for sale......... 7.56 10,155 * 10,155 -- -- -- -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total rate sensitive assets 6.98% $3,932,224 100% $1,586,367 $818,355 $609,352 $419,753 $498,397 =================================================================================================== RATE SENSITIVE LIABILITIES Deposits: Checking accounts............ 1.13% $ 395,687 11% $ 105,767 $ 22,627 $ 74,174 $ 53,591 $139,528 Savings accounts............. 2.41 770,075 21 254,049 48,745 153,081 102,932 211,268 Money market deposit accounts 3.13 245,631 7 245,631 -- -- -- -- Fixed-maturity certificates (D)......................... 5.15 1,821,510 48 907,325 341,528 353,565 147,876 71,216 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.85 3,232,903 87 1,512,772 412,900 580,820 304,399 422,012 Borrowings: FHLB advances................ 6.39 336,959 9 330,275 -- 5,599 -- 1,085 Other borrowings............. 7.15 139,568 4 103,883 905 34,780 -- -- Mortgage-backed note......... 8.70 16,400 * -- -- -- 16,400 -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.68 492,927 13 434,158 905 40,379 16,400 1,085 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total rate sensitive liabilities............... 4.22% $3,725,830 100% $1,946,930 $413,805 $621,199 $320,799 $423,097 =================================================================================================== Excess (deficit) of rate sensitive assets over rate sensitive liabilities (GAP)........... 2.76% $ 206,394 $ (360,563) $404,550 $(11,847) $ 98,954 $ 75,300 =================================================================================================== Cumulative GAP............... $ (360,563) $ 43,987 $ 32,140 $131,094 $206,394 Cumulative GAP to total assets without regard to hedging transactions................ -8.73% 1.06% 0.78% 3.17% 5.00% Cumulative GAP to total assets with impact of hedging transactions................ -5.15% 4.40% 3.93% 3.17% 5.00% *LESS THAN 1%. (A) THE MORTGAGE LOAN REPRICING/MATURITY PROJECTIONS WERE BASED UPON PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT PERCENTAGES IN EXCESS OF THE CONTRACTUAL AMORTIZATION SCHEDULE OF THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGES. MULTIFAMILY MORTGAGES WERE ESTIMATED TO BE PREPAID AT A RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 10% PER YEAR; ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE LOANS ON SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES AND LOAN SECURITIES WERE ESTIMATED TO PREPAY AT A RATE OF 10% PER YEAR; FIXED RATE LOANS AND LOAN SECURITIES WERE ESTIMATED TO PREPAY AT A RATE OF 8% PER YEAR. LOANS WITH AN ADJUSTABLE RATE CHARACTERISTIC, INCLUDING LOANS WITH INITIAL FIXED INTEREST RATE PERIODS, ARE CONSIDERED BY MANAGEMENT TO HAVE AN ADJUSTABLE RATE. CHECKING ACCOUNTS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE WITHDRAWN AT RATES BETWEEN 15% AND 21% PER YEAR. MOST OF THE REGULAR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE WITHDRAWN AT RATES BETWEEN 18% AND 26% PER YEAR, ALTHOUGH FOR SOME OF THE ACCOUNTS, MANAGEMENT ASSUMED AN EVEN FASTER RATE. EXCEPT FOR MULTIFAMILY LOANS, THE PREPAYMENT ASSUMPTIONS INCLUDED IN THIS SCHEDULE ARE BASED UPON THE BANK'S ACTUAL PREPAYMENT EXPERIENCE OVER THE PAST YEAR, AS WELL AS MANAGEMENT'S FUTURE EXPECTATIONS OF PREPAYMENTS. THE BANK ASSUMED A PREPAYMENT PERCENTAGE OF 10% BECAUSE OF CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND THE NATURE OF THE BANK'S MULTIFAMILY PORTFOLIO. THE NEW DECAY ASSUMPTION ON PASSBOOK AND CHECKING ACCOUNTS IS BASED ON A HISTORICAL REGRESSION ANALYSIS OF THE BANK'S GROWTH IN THESE ACCOUNTS. (B) INCLUDES INVESTMENT IN FHLB STOCK.

EFS Service Corporation has participated, from time to time, in real estate joint venture activities. EFS/San Diego Service Corporation owns assets leased to others. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Cash Flows include cash and amounts due from depository institutions, federal funds sold, and cash equivalent securities with original maturities of three months or less. Marketable-Debt Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities ("MBS"): The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, at Dec. 31, 1993. The ending balance of stockholders' equity at Dec. 31, 1993 was increased by $4.6 million (including a $2.8 million deferred income tax adjustment) to reflect the net unrealized holding gains on securities classified as available for sale previously carried at amortized cost. Under SFAS No. 115, the carrying amount of securities is dependent upon their classification as held to maturity, trading, or available for sale. The Company has not transferred assets between the trading account, held to maturity, and available for sale categories. The accounting for securities in each of the three categories is as follows: Held to Maturity: Investment securities that are classified as held to maturity are recorded at cost, net of unamortized premiums and discounts. Discounts and premiums are amortized using the interest method over the contractual life of marketable-debt securities and the estimated life of MBS. Interest income is charged or credited for any adjustment to unamortized discounts and premiums when actual MBS repayments differ substantially from estimates. Declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in gains on asset sales based upon a specific identification method. At Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, Management classified only those securities that it had the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity in this category. Trading Account: Investment securities that are held in the trading account are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. At Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had no assets in its trading account. Available for Sale: Investment securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Discounts and premiums are amortized using the interest method over the contractual life of marketable-debt securities and the estimated life of MBS. Interest income is charged or credited for any adjustment to unamortized discounts and premiums when actual MBS repayments differ substantially from estimates. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in gains on asset sales, based on a specific identification method. Loans Receivable: Loans receivable that are classified as held to maturity are recorded at cost, net of unamortized discounts and premiums and net deferred loan origination fees. Net deferred loan origination fees are comprised of loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct origination costs which are deferred when loans are originated. Discounts, 40 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. premiums, and deferred loan origination fees are amortized using the interest method over the remaining contractual life of the assets, adjusted for actual prepayments as appropriate. Interest income is also charged or credited for any unamortized discounts, premiums, and deferred loan origination fees (and costs) when loans receivable are repaid prior to their contractual maturities. Interest income on loans is credited to income when earned. The Bank provides an allowance for accrued or capitalized interest on loans deemed potentially uncollectible. The provision is accounted for as a reduction of interest income and the allowance is netted against the accrued interest receivable or loan balance. Whenever the accrual of interest is stopped, previously accrued but uncollected interest income is reversed. Thereafter, interest is recognized as income only as cash is received, unless the loan is reinstated. Multifamily and commercial real estate loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become 60 days delinquent or are considered impaired under SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The accrual of interest on government insured loans and single family mortgages with original loan to value ratios of 80% or less is not discontinued regardless of delinquency. All other 1-4 family and consumer loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days delinquent. Interest income on troubled debt restructured loans ("TDRs") is recorded when cash is collected, provided that prior charge-offs have been recovered. Any interest capitalized to TDR loans, under the terms of the loan restructuring, is fully reserved by reducing income. Reserves for uncollectible loan principal are provided for through the Bank's loan loss allowance. See discussion following. Accumulated Provision for Loan Losses: The accumulated provision for loan losses is comprised of specific and general valuation allowances. As of Jan. 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosure, which provides guidance for establishing specific valuation allowances ("SVA") on individual loans. Under SFAS No. 114, a loan is considered impaired (and a SVA is warranted for an amount equal to the impairment) when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. However, as a practical expedient, Management measures impairment based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Loans accounted under SFAS No. 114 consist of multifamily and commercial real estate loans. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 114, the Bank established SVA on individual loans when a portion of an asset was classified as "loss" for regulatory accounting purposes. General valuation allowances are evaluated based on a careful evaluation of the various risk components which are inherent in each of the loan portfolios, including off-balance sheet items. The risk components which are evaluated include the level of nonperforming and classified assets, geographic concentrations of credit, economic conditions, trends in real estate values, the impact of changing interest rates on borrower debt service, as well as historical loss experience, peer group comparisons, and regulatory guidance. Additions to general and specific valuation allowances are reflected in current operations. Management may transfer reserves between the specific and general valuation allowances as considered necessary. Charge-offs of general and specific valuation allowances are made when loan principal is considered uncollectible. Recoveries are credited to the accumulated provision for loan losses when realized. The adequacy of the accumulated provision for loan losses is approved on a quarterly basis by the Loan Loss Reserve Committee ("Reserve Committee") of the Bank's Board of Directors. The accumulated provision for loan losses reflects Management's best estimate of the reserves needed to provide for impairment of multifamily and commercial real estate loans as well as other perceived credit risks of the Bank. See "Note E -- Loans Receivable" for further details. However, actual results could differ from this estimate and future additions to the reserves may be necessary based on unforeseen changes in economic conditions. In addition, federal regulators periodically review the Bank's accumulated provision for losses on loans. Such regulators have the authority to require the Bank to recognize additions to the reserves at the time of their examination. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 had no impact on the "Consolidated Statements of Income" or the "Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition," since loans considered to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 were previously valued at the fair value of the collateral and all of the Company's real estate in-substance at Dec. 31, 1993 continued to be classified as real estate in-substance under SFAS No. 114. Loans Held for Sale: Loans classified "held for sale" are comprised of 1-4 family real estate loans originated for resale in the secondary market and certain education loans. Loans are identified as held for sale before or soon after origination or purchase. Loans held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or market, with each periodic lower of cost or market adjustment included in earnings. The lower of cost or market values are determined on an individual loan basis. The fair value of loans held for sale are based on actual sales contracts and bids published by the secondary market. Real Estate Owned ("REO") and REO In-Substance Foreclosures ("ISF"): REO and REO ISF initially are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The accumulated provision for loan losses is charged for any excess of net book value over fair value at the foreclosure or in- substance foreclosure date. As of Jan. 1, 1994, loans are classified as ISF based upon SFAS No. 114. The Bank had no REO ISF as of Dec. 31, 1994. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 41 Subsequent to foreclosure, the accumulated provision for foreclosed real estate losses is used to establish SVA on individual REO properties as declines in market value occur and to provide general reserves for possible losses associated with risks inherent in the REO portfolio. In evaluating the adequacy of the accumulated provision for foreclosed real estate losses, Management considers the market value of specific real estate assets in relationship to their book values, as well as the potential for further market value decline. Loan Servicing Fees and Related Receivables: The Bank services mortgage loans that have been sold to investors. Fees earned for servicing loans owned by investors are reported as income when the related mortgage loan payments are collected. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred. When mortgage loans are sold, the gain or loss on the transaction is adjusted to recognize an excess service fee receivable. In general, the excess service fee receivable represents the present value of the interest rate spread (net of normal servicing fees) inherent in the future payments to be serviced by the Company over the estimated life of the underlying mortgage loans. The excess service fee receivable is amortized as an adjustment to loan servicing fee income using the interest method over the remaining contractual term. The Bank owns the right to service loans for others. Purchased mortgage servicing rights are being amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. Office Properties and Equipment: Office properties and equipment, including assets under capital leases, are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the assets and the remaining term of capital leases, respectively. Employee Benefits: Net pension costs are based on the provisions of SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions. The actuarially determined pension benefits are based on the projected unit credit method. During 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Post- Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions. This statement requires that the projected future cost of providing post-retirement benefits, such as health care and life insurance, be recognized as an expense as employees render service, instead of when benefits are paid. In addition, during 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Post-Employment Benefits. This statement requires that the projected future cost of providing post-employment benefits (other than retirement), such as medical insurance, be recognized as an expense as employees render service, instead of when the benefits are paid. The adoption of SFAS No. 112 had a minimal impact on the results of operations during 1994. The Company has established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for its employees. During 1994, the Company prospectively adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") Statement of Position No. 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. SOP 93-6 requires the recognition of compensation expense for ESOP shares acquired after 1992 and not committed to be released before the beginning of 1994, to be measured based on the fair value of those shares when committed to be released to employees, rather than based on their original cost. As of Dec. 31, 1994, the ESOP had 196,350 shares acquired after Dec. 31, 1992 that are committed to be released beginning in 1996. The adoption of SOP 93-6 had no impact on net income for the year ending Dec. 31, 1994. The effect of SOP 93-6 on net income in 1996 and beyond is not determinable because expense will be based on future prices of St.Paul Bancorp stock. Under SOP 93-6, the average number of ESOP shares considered outstanding for earnings per share ("EPS") purposes during the year ending Dec. 31, 1994 was lower than for the same periods in prior years because unallocated shares are excluded from the EPS calculation. Also, under SOP 93-6, dividends on the unearned ESOP shares are accounted for as a reduction of accrued interest on the ESOP borrowings rather than as a reduction of retained earnings. Shares acquired by the ESOP prior to 1994 are accounted for in accordance with the AICPA SOP No. 76-3, Accounting Practices for Certain Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Compensation expense was charged for the contributions made by the Bank to service the ESOP borrowings and other contributions approved by the Company. Income Taxes: The Company files a consolidated tax return with its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company provides for income taxes based upon the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The provision for income tax expense is determined using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred taxes arise because certain transactions affect the determination of taxable income for financial reporting purposes in periods different from the period in which the transactions affect taxable income for tax return purposes. Current tax expense is provided based upon the actual tax liability incurred for tax return purposes. Interest Rate Exchange Agreements: The Company enters into interest rate exchange agreements to modify the interest characteristics of its outstanding debt and deposits from a floating to a fixed rate basis. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying notional amount. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense related to the debt and deposits. The related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included in other liabilities or assets. The fair values of the swap agreements are not recognized in the financial statements. 42 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. Earnings Per Share: Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are computed using the treasury stock method. Stock options issued to employees of the Bank represent the only common stock equivalent of the Company. Beginning in 1994, unallocated ESOP shares are excluded from the calculation of EPS. Fair Value of Financial Instruments: SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, as amended by SFAS No. 119, Disclosures about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based upon estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation. NOTE B Cash and Cash Equivalents The following tables present the amortized cost and fair values of cash and cash equivalent investments as of Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993.

The line of credit is guaranteed by the Company and amounts drawn under the arrangement are secured by shares of Company stock and partially by marketable- debt securities owned by St.Paul Bancorp. The Company has confirmed that its collateral is held in segregated custodial accounts. At Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, Company stock securing the borrowings had carrying values of $3.9 million and $4.2 million and fair values of $5.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively. At Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, the marketable-debt securities securing the borrowings had a carrying value of $979,000 and $989,000, respectively. The fair value of these securities approximated their carrying value at Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993. Capital Lease Obligations: In 1991, the Bank entered into a capital lease for the use of a branch facility. While the term of this lease extends to 2016, the Bank has the option to purchase the related facility at the end of 1996 or any time after October 1999. See "Note L - Office Properties and Equipment" for further details. NOTE P Income Taxes The following schedule summarizes the components of income tax expense for 1994, 1993, and 1992. The amounts reported as current and deferred income tax expense for 1993 have been restated to conform to the 1993 tax return, which was filed several months after the end of the fiscal year. Total income tax expense is not affected by the reclassification of current and deferred taxes.

This amount represents earnings appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes and is not available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to stockholders, including distributions on redemption, dissolution, or liquidation of the Bank, without incurring a tax liability. If triggered, the tax liability related to the appropriated earnings would have been $18.6 million and $19.3 million at Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The intercompany settlement of taxes paid is based on a tax sharing agreement which generally allocates taxes to each entity based upon a separate return basis. Subject to certain regulatory limits, the Bank qualifies as a savings and loan for tax purposes and, accordingly, is allowed a special bad- debt deduction based upon a percentage of taxable income (presently 8%) or on specified experience formulas. NOTE Q Stockholders' Equity Holding Company: The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes up to 40 million shares of common stock and up to 10 million shares of preferred stock. Such preferred may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preferences, or both, and may have full or limited voting rights. In 1992, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Shareholders Rights Plan which is designed to strengthen the Board's ability to act for the stockholders in the event of an unsolicited bid to acquire control of the Company. Each outstanding share of common stock currently is attached to one Right under the Plan. If the Rights become exercisable, each 1994 Annual Report/10-K 51 Right initially would entitle the holder (except the acquiring person or entity referred to below) to purchase from the Company, 0.7% of a share of Series A junior participating preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $80.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. If a person or entity becomes a 10% beneficial owner of the Company's common stock (other than through the acquisition of newly issued shares directly from the Company), each holder of a Right would be entitled to receive, in lieu of the preferred stock, at the then-current exercise price of the Right, common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property, or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price. In general, the Rights become exercisable if another person or entity without Board approval acquires 10% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock, makes a tender offer for that amount of stock, or files a regulatory application for approval of a change in control of the Company. The acquiring person or entity would not be entitled to exercise the Rights. These Rights expire at the earliest of Nov. 13, 2002, redemption of the Rights by the Company at a price of $0.01 per Right, or exchange of the Rights in accordance with the Plan. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or entity attempting to acquire the Company without conditioning the offer on the Rights being redeemed or a substantial number of Rights being acquired. At Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, 139,025 and 144,551 shares of preferred stock were reserved for future exercise of the Rights, respectively. Dividends and other distributions of St.Paul Bancorp stock are subject to restrictions agreed upon by the Company in connection with the issuance of $34.5 million of subordinated notes in 1993. Cumulative dividends and other distributions subsequent to Dec. 31, 1992 are limited to the sum of: (a) $22.0 million plus (b) 75% of the Company's aggregate consolidated net income subsequent to Dec. 31, 1992, less (c) 100% of the amount of consolidated net loss incurred by the Company during any fiscal year subsequent to Dec. 31, 1992 plus (d) 100% of the net proceeds received by the Company from any equity securities issued by the Company (other than to a subsidiary) subsequent to Dec. 31, 1992. During 1994, the Company repurchased 1,003,925 shares of its outstanding common stock under two consecutive stock repurchase programs. On Jan. 12, 1995, the Company announced its intention to continue the current repurchase program and repurchase up to an additional 236,447 shares of its common stock over the first six months of 1995 through open market and privately negotiated transactions. Bank: New capital standards were imposed on all federally insured depository institutions as a result of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. Regulations impose the following capital requirements: a risk-based capital standard expressed as a percent of risk-adjusted assets, a leverage ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets, and a tangible capital ratio expressed as a percent of total adjusted assets. As of Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The following schedule presents the Bank's regulatory capital ratios as of Dec. 31, 1994.

NOTE R Stock Option Plan The Board of Directors of the Company has a stock option plan (the "Option Plan") for the benefit of directors, officers, and other key employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Option Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders at its 1988 annual meeting. Under the original terms of the Option Plan, 1,770,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock were reserved for issuance. At subsequent annual stockholders' meetings, an additional 925,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock were added to the Option Plan. The Option Plan authorizes the Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors to administer the plan and make recommendations to award stock options to key officers, directors and employees. Stock options are granted at the discretion of the Stock Option Committee, with grants generally made 52 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. based upon individual performance or promotions. Stock options are granted at an option price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and have a 10-year term. The amount of stock option grants increases according to salary and position within the Company. Options granted under the Option Plan are exercisable in respect of 50% of the number of shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and are exercisable in respect of an additional 12.5% on each of the second, third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant, provided that the options are 100% exercisable for any employee who has completed five years of employment with the Company. The options also become exercisable upon any merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity. The following table sets forth activity relating to the number of shares covered by stock options: 1994 1993 1992 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding at Jan. 1.... 1,950,338 1,868,925 1,543,425 Granted.......................... 12,000 217,500 526,500 Exercised........................

Benefits are based on years of service and the employee's highest 60 consecutive months of compensation. Contributions to the Plan are designed to fund current service costs on a current basis, and to fund over 40 years the liability for benefits arising from qualifying service prior to Jan. 1, 1976, and to fund subsequent amendments over 30 years. Additionally, the Bank sponsors supplemental retirement plans ("the Supplemental Plans"). The Supplemental Plans are non-qualified defined benefit plans established to provide retirement benefits (as determined by provisions of the Plans) that cannot be provided from the Plans because of limitations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 415 and 401(a)(17). The Bank also sponsors a non- qualifying, defined benefit retirement plan for the Company's directors ("the Directors' Plan"). Payments due under the Supplemental Plans and the Directors' Plan are made from the Bank's general assets when due. Total pension cost for 1994, 1993, and 1992 was $3.6 million, $2.7 million, and $2.1 million, respectively.

Included in the equity securities is $3.1 million of Company stock. Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") designed to invest in the common stock of the Company for the benefit of employees of the Company. All employees who have completed at least one year of credited service at the Bank are eligible to participate in the ESOP. The ESOP is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is intended to constitute a qualified stock bonus plan for income tax purposes. The ESOP is authorized to borrow money to finance the acquisition of Company common stock and to pledge the stock acquired to secure payment of the loan. The Bank does not provide financing for the ESOP. During 1987, the ESOP borrowed $5.0 million to purchase 750,000 shares of Company common stock. As of Dec. 31, 1994, this loan was paid in full. During 1991, the ESOP obtained a $5.0 million line of credit, which was increased to $18.0 million in 1993. As of Dec. 31, 1994, $3.9 million of this line of credit was outstanding. Outstanding ESOP borrowings are guaranteed by the Company and are included in other borrowings and stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. In addition to the acquisition of Company stock through proceeds from borrowings, the ESOP also purchases additional shares if ESOP contributions are in excess of debt service requirements. Leveraged shares of Company stock are held by the ESOP trustee as collateral on the loan. As the loans are repaid, shares held as collateral are released. The ESOP loans are being repaid from Bank contributions and dividends on the unallocated shares of Company stock. Payment of the ESOP loans is guaranteed by the Company. The ESOP borrowings are also partially secured by marketable-debt securities owned by St.Paul Bancorp. Contributions to the ESOP are made at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees of the ESOP, but may not exceed 15% of the aggregate compensation of all participants. Since the inception of the ESOP, contributions have been sufficient to service the ESOP debt and, in certain years, have allowed the ESOP to acquire additional shares of Company stock. ESOP expense totaled $281,000, $846,000, and $1.1 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. 54 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. The following table presents the ESOP contributions and loan activity.

The Bank's credit exposure with respect to these loans sold with recourse at Dec. 31, 1994 totaled $26.1 million and was collateralized by $23.7 million of MBS. In comparison, at Dec. 31, 1993 the Bank's credit exposure for these loans totaled $37.9 million and was collateralized by $36.3 million of MBS and letters of credit. The multifamily loans were originated by the Bank based upon its normal underwriting standards and continue to be serviced and analyzed by the Bank. The maximum loss related to multifamily loans sold with recourse which would be recognized by the Bank in the event of complete default by the borrowers and worthlessness of the collateral at Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993 is $26.1 million and $37.9 million, respectively. Under the recourse provisions, the Bank generally repurchases the underlying loans that default. The following schedule presents the geographical distribution of the real estate collateral of multifamily loans sold with recourse as of Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993: DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS 1994 1993 -------------------------------------------------------- Amount % Amount % California............ .$36,702 38.7% $ 60,885 43.9% Washington............ 21,156 22.3 36,030 26.0 Minnesota............. 19,266 20.3 19,543 14.1 Illinois.............. 2,079 2.2 2,108 1.5 Other................. 15,575 16.5 20,034 14.5 -------------------------------- $94,778 100.0% $138,600 100.0% ================================ Management evaluates loans sold with recourse in connection with its review of the adequacy of the general valuation allowance to insure that reserves are adequate to absorb potential losses on these loans. For further discussion, which is not included as part of these financial statements, see the "Credit Risk Management" section in "Management's Discussion and Analysis." Loan Origination Commitments: At Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank had outstanding loan commitments to originate 1-4 family, first mortgage loans of $51.2 million and $9.3 million of commitments to originate multifamily, land and land development loans. These commitments consisted of adjustable rate loan commitments totaling $59.3 million and fixed rate loan commitments of $1.2 million. Most of these commitments expire after 60 days. As of Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank had forward sales contracts for $684,000 of the $1.2 million of fixed rate loan commitments. See "Forward Commitments" following. At Dec. 31, 1993, the Bank had outstanding loan commitments to originate 1-4 family, first mortgage loans of $52.4 million. These commitments consisted of adjustable rate loan commitments totaling $26.3 million and fixed rate loan commitments of $26.1 million. Most of these commitments expired after 60 days. As of Dec. 31, 1993, the Bank had forward sales contracts for $17.5 million of the $26.1 million of fixed rate loan commitments. See "Forward Commitments" following. The Bank enters loan commitments after a determination is made regarding the borrower's ability to repay the loan and the adequacy of the property as collateral. Generally, loan commitments are limited to 80% of the collateral value unless private mortgage insurance is obtained. The Bank attempts to fulfill loan commitments as long as no violations of conditions established in the contract occur. Historically, approximately 90% of the loan commitments have been fulfilled. Forward Commitments: As of Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank had forward loan sale commitments of $775,000, including $684,000 of forward contracts on loan disbursement commitments. As of Dec. 31, 1993, the Bank had forward loan sale commitments of $38.1 million, including $17.5 million of forward contracts on loan commitments. All market value losses on forward commitments have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 55 Unused Credit Lines: The Bank had unused home equity lines of credit of $42.8 million and $33.5 million, respectively, as of Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993. Home equity lines of credit represent junior mortgages. The Bank applies similar underwriting standards to equity lines of credit as it does on first mortgage loans. Home equity lines of credit have fixed expiration dates. Because many of the line of credit commitments will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The maximum loss that would be recognized by the Bank as of Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, in the event that borrowers used 100% of their outstanding credit limits and, subsequently, a complete default by the borrowers and worthlessness of underlying collateral occurred, is $42.8 million and $33.5 million, respectively. Letters of Credit: At Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had issued $6.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively, of standby letters of credit. The Bank has issued letters of credits to various counties and villages as a performance guarantee of land development and improvements and to a commercial bank as collateral for a loan on a land development project. Most of the letters of credit at Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993 have been issued on behalf of St.Paul Financial. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in lending. As of Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, the maximum loss that would be recognized by the Company in the event of a complete default by the creditors and worthlessness of the underlying collateral was $6.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Management evaluates letters of credit in connection with its review of the adequacy of the general valuation allowance to insure that reserves are adequate to absorb potential losses on these guarantees. For further discussion, which is not included as part of these financial statements, see the "Credit Risk Management" section in "Management's Discussion and Analysis." Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others: In connection with the Elm Financial acquisition, the Bank has assumed two agreements to guarantee the repayment of $4.9 million of principal and related interest on municipal revenue bonds. These bonds are secured by multifamily real estate. As of Dec. 31, 1994, MBS and U.S. Treasury securities with carrying values of $3.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and fair values of $3.6 million and $3.0 million were pledged as collateral on the guarantees. As of December 31, 1993, MBS and U.S. Treasury securities with carrying values of $5.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and fair values of $5.7 million and $3.0 million were pledged as collateral on the guarantees. The Bank does not own any of the bonds, nor have there have been any defaults on the bonds. As of Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, the maximum loss that would be recognized by the Company in the event of a complete default by the creditors and worthlessness of the underlying collateral was $5.1 million. Management evaluates the guarantees of indebtedness of other in connection with its review of the adequacy of the general valuation allowance to insure that reserves are adequate to absorb potential losses on these guarantees. For further discussion, which is not included as part of these financial statements, see the "Credit Risk Management" section in "Management's Discussion and Analysis." Interest Rate Exchange Agreements: The Bank used interest rate exchange agreements in 1994 and 1993 to help reduce certain interest rate exposures. At Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993, the Bank had $147.8 million and $30.0 million, respectively, in notional amount interest rate exchange agreements outstanding on which the Bank pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate, based on a referenced index, from the counterparty. These exchange agreements are held for purposes other than trading. The Bank minimized credit and market risk by receiving an unconditional guarantee from the parent company of the counterparty. The following table provides a rollforward of the notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements: DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of year $ 30,000 $ 50,000 Additions..................... 134,311 - Maturities....................

In comparison, only $1.2 million of interest expense was incurred in 1993 on interest rate exchange agreements. 56 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. NOTE U Legal Proceedings Although the Bank is a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, there are no legal proceedings which, in the opinion of counsel, may result in a material loss to the Bank. NOTE V Concentration of Credit Risk By law, savings institutions are required to concentrate their lending primarily in loans secured by residential real estate. For single family mortgage loans, the Bank generally requires borrowers to obtain mortgage insurance on the portion of the loan that exceeds 80% of the appraised value of the real estate. The Bank does not fund single family mortgage loans that exceed 95% of the appraised value of the real estate collateral. For multifamily real estate loans, the Bank's original underwriting procedures require loan-to-value ratios ranging from 25% to 86%, with average loan-to-value ratios of 72% at the time of origination. Although most of the loans are secured by first mortgages, the Bank also carries some junior mortgages in its portfolios. Consumer loans are secured by savings accounts maintained at the Bank, automobiles, or contain guarantees of the federal government.

Cash and cash equivalents: The fair value of cash and amounts due from depository institutions approximates their carrying amount. The fair value of short-term investments was determined based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. Marketable-debt securities: The fair value of marketable-debt securities was determined based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. Mortgage-backed securities: The fair value of MBS was determined based on bid quotations received from securities dealers. Loans receivable: The fair value of 1-4 family mortgages was based upon quotes received from the secondary market, and in certain instances, future cash flows discounted at a rate that reflects an estimate of current market rates for the underlying mortgage loans. The fair value of multifamily, commercial real estate, land and consumer loans was calculated based on an estimate of the timing of future cash flows, discounted at a rate that reflects an estimate of current market rates for these types of loans. The discount rate for the Bank's classified loans was adjusted for the inherent credit risk in those assets. The estimate of the timing of cash flows was based on the same prepayment assumptions used for regulatory interest rate risk reporting. Most of the Bank's multifamily and commercial real estate and land loans are adjustable rate mortgages, and currently benefit from rate floors above existing market rates. Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable is a reasonable estimate of its fair value because its maturity is short-term and potentially uncollectible amounts have been reserved. Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The fair value of FHLB stock equals its book value because the shares can be resold to the FHLB or other member banks at its par value of $100 per share. Deposits: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings, checking, and money market accounts, is considered to be equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit was computed as the present value of future cash outflows, based on contractual maturities, discounted at rates equivalent to those offered by the Bank at Dec. 31, 1994 and 1993 for certificates of deposit with similar maturities. Borrowings: The fair value of FHLB advances was determined based upon a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate commensurate with rates currently offered by the FHLB for similar remaining maturities. The fair value of the repurchase agreements, subordinated notes and the mortgage-backed note was based upon quotes received from securities dealers. The fair values of the ESOP borrowing and mortgage loan approximate their carrying amount because the borrowings reprice frequently at market interest rates. Accrued interest payable: The carrying amount of accrued interest payable is a reasonable estimate of its fair value because its maturity is short-term. Other financial assets and liabilities: Other financial assets and liabilities include the excess servicing fee receivable, loan origination and sales commitments, letters of credit and other credit related guarantees, recourse provisions on loans sold with recourse and interest rate exchange agreements. The fair value of excess servicing fee receivable was determined based upon the present value of anticipated loan servicing cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest for assets with similar risk. The fair value of commitments to originate mortgage loans was estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the borrowers. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of forward loan sale commitments represents the loss the Bank would incur to enter into an offsetting agreement and was determined from quotes received from securities dealers. The fair value of the letters of credit and the guarantee of indebtedness of others represents the amount the Company would have to pay a third party to assume the related liability. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company's liability with respect to loans sold with recourse because of the significance of the cost to obtain external quotes. The fair value of the liability for loans sold with recourse would represent the amount the Bank would have to pay a third party to assume the recourse obligation. The fair value of interest rate exchange agreements was obtained from a dealer quote and represents the estimated amount the Bank would receive or pay to terminate the contract, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. 60 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc. NOTE Y Acquisition of Elm Financial On Feb. 23, 1993, the Company acquired ("the Acquisition") Elm Financial Services, Inc. ("Elm Financial"). The operations of Elm Financial are included in the Company's "Consolidated Statements of Income" from the acquisition date and reflect the application of the purchase method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the aggregate cost to the Company of the Acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as of Feb. 23, 1993. No goodwill was recorded by the Bank in connection with the Acquisition. The cost to the Company for the Acquisition was $48.2 million, which included the payment of cash and the issuance of 1,292,313 shares of the Company's common stock. The following schedule details the net effect during 1993 of the Acquisition on cash and cash equivalents: DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS ----------------------------------------------------- Purchase price.............................. $48,194 Less: issuance of St.Paul stock............. 19,766 Less: Elm stock acquired in 1992............ 1,771 ------- Cash paid for acquisition................... 26,657 Cash and cash equivalents acquired.......... 11,002 ------- Acquisition of Elm Financial, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired.. $15,655 ======= The "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income" presented below report the combined results of operations of the Company and Elm Financial for the year ended Dec. 31, 1993 and 1992 as if the Acquisition had been effective on Jan. 1, 1993 and Jan. 1, 1992, respectively, after giving effect to the purchase accounting adjustments.

COMPETITION St.Paul Federal experiences substantial competition in attracting and retaining deposit accounts, in making mortgage and other loans and in selling investment products. Competition for deposit accounts comes primarily from other federally insured financial institutions, such as other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions, money market funds and other investment alternatives. Competition for origination of loan products comes primarily from mortgage brokers, other savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, commercial banks, insurance companies and finance companies. Competition for investment products sales comes primarily from other brokerage operations, insurance companies and mutual funds. Many of St.Paul's competitors are unregulated and are not subject to the same restrictions as the Bank. St.Paul Federal's market area is experiencing increased competition from the acquisition of local financial institutions by out-of-state commercial banking and savings institutions. PROPERTIES All of the office properties and most of the equipment appearing in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and "Note L - Office Properties and Equipment" are owned by the Bank. As of Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank had 52 banking offices located throughout the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Seventeen of the branches were located in Omni(R) and Cub(R) food stores in the Chicago area. All branch locations, except for three drive-up facilities, are full-service offices that provide a full range of banking services. Of the 52 banking offices, 27 were owned and 25 were leased. Also, the Bank owned five administrative buildings and leases administrative office space in an office complex near the Bank's home office. At Dec. 31, 1994, the aggregate net book value of St.Paul Federal's banking and administrative offices owned and the leasehold improvements at the offices leased was $30.5 million. Management believes that all of these properties are in good condition. In addition to its land, buildings and leasehold improvements, the Bank had an aggregate net investment in equipment of $13.5 million at Dec. 31, 1994. Included in the equipment owned by the Bank are mainframe, hardware, teller platforms, desktop computers, ATMs and furnishings. REGULATION The Company, as a savings and loan holding company, and the Bank, as a federally chartered savings bank, are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") as their primary federal regulator. The Bank also is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and as to certain matters by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Federal deposit insurance is required for all federally chartered savings institutions such as the Bank. The Bank's deposits are insured to applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), as administered by the FDIC. National and state-chartered banks generally are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), also administered by the FDIC. The FDIC sets the annual rates for insurance premiums, which currently are between 0.23% and 0.31% of deposits (based on an institution's supervisory evaluations and capital level) for both the SAIF and the BIF. The FDIC, however, has proposed reducing BIF premiums to as low as 0.04% of deposits for the healthiest rated banks. Because SAIF premiums may be unaffected by the FDIC proposal, SAIF insured institutions like the Bank could be at a competitive disadvantage to BIF insured institutions if the FDIC proposal is promulgated as proposed. As a FDIC-insured institution and a federal savings bank, the Bank is required to maintain specified levels of minimum capital, including: (i) "core capital" in an amount not less than 3% of total assets, (ii) "tangible capital" in an amount not less that 1.5% of total assets, and (iii) "risk-based" capital not less than 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. During 1994, the federal bank regulatory agencies revised the method for calculating risk-based capital such that the Bank now must identify the concentration of credit risk and the risks arising from nontraditional activities, as well as the Bank's ability to manage such risks. Furthermore, the OTS revised its risk-based capital requirement to implement a standard of actual performance and expected risk of loss of multifamily mortgages as well as a calculation for intangible assets, including purchased mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships. These changes had no significant impact on the Bank's required regulatory capital. During 1994, the OTS implemented a final rule for calculating an interest rate risk component of capital. Under the final rule, savings institutions with "above normal" interest rate risk exposure are subject to a deduction from total capital for purposes of calculating their risk-based capital requirements. A savings institution's interest rate risk is measured by the decline in the net portfolio value of its assets (i.e., the difference between incoming and outgoing discounted cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts) that would result from a hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates (except when the three-month Treasury bond equivalent yield falls below 4%, then the decrease will be equal to one-half of that Treasury rate) divided by the estimated economic value of the association's assets. That dollar amount is deducted from the institution's total capital in calculating risk-based capital. At Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank was not required to deduct any amount from capital as a result of interest rate risk exposure. 1994 Annual Report/10-K 65 The OTS also has proposed to increase the minimum required core capital ratio from the current 3% level to a range of 4% to 5% for all but the most highly rated financial institutions. While the OTS has not taken final action on such proposal, it has adopted a prompt corrective action ("PCA") regulation that classifies any savings institution with a core capital ratio of less than 4% (3% for the most highly rated institutions) as "undercapitalized." At Dec. 31, 1994, the Bank met the requirements for a "well capitalized" institution. See "Note Q -- Stockholders' Equity" for a summary of regulatory capital position at Dec. 31, 1994. The OTS currently imposes limitations on all capital distributions by savings institutions, including dividends, stock repurchases and cash-out mergers. Under the current rule, institutions are grouped into three classifications depending upon their level of regulatory capital both before and after giving effect to a proposed capital distribution. Under a proposed rule, the OTS would conform the three classifications to the five capital classifications set forth under the PCA regulations. Under the OTS proposal, a savings institution which is a subsidiary of a holding company (such as the Bank) could make a capital distribution following notice to the OTS if, after the capital distribution, the institution would remain at least "adequately capitalized" under the PCA regulations. In making the proposal, the OTS stated that it intends to use net income to date during the calendar year plus 50% of surplus capital above the adequately capitalized level as the general rule of thumb for determining the permissible amount of a capital distribution. In recent quarters, the Bank generally has paid dividends of 50% of net income to the Company. During 1994, certain legislation was enacted that could affect the operations of the Bank and Company. Among other things, the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act (the "CDB Act") requires the federal banking agencies to streamline and harmonize regulatory, reporting and examination requirements, expedite the processing of regulatory applications and reduce regulatory burdens with respect to the operations of financial institutions and the protection of the deposit insurance funds. The CDB Act also requires that regulations which impose additional reporting, disclosure or other new requirements must become effective only on the first day of a calendar quarter. Also enacted during 1994, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "IBBEA") authorized the acquisition of banks in any state by bank holding companies, subject to compliance with federal and state antitrust laws, the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") and specific deposit concentration limits. The IBBEA removes most state law barriers to interstate acquisitions of banks and ultimately will permit multi-state banking operations to merge into a single bank. Although the Bank, as a federal savings bank, already has interstate branching authority, enactment of the IBBEA may result in increased competition and financial institution acquisition activity from out- of-state financial institutions and their holding companies. During 1994, various regulations were promulgated that could impact the operations of the Bank and Company. Consistent with the requirements of the CDB Act, the federal bank regulatory agencies have attempted to conform many of their regulations to eliminate the disparity that has developed among the four financial institution regulators. For example, the OTS amended its internal rating system for savings associations by adopting the "CAMEL" (Capital, Assets, Management, Earnings and Liquidity) system developed by the FDIC, in lieu of "MACRO" (Management, Asset Quality, Capital Adequacy, Risk Management and Operating Results). The Bank's CAMEL rating is used to determine, in part, FDIC insurance assessments. The OTS also revised its regulations concerning mergers, transfers of assets, and combinations with other depository institutions to facilitate the acquisition of savings institutions by other FDIC-insured institutions, as well as the acquisition of such institutions by savings associations. During 1994, the federal bank regulatory agencies also jointly issued proposed changes to the rules and regulations implementing the CRA that could impact how the Bank's CRA performance is measured. Pursuant to the CRA, the Bank is required to demonstrate how its deposit facilities serve the convenience and needs of the communities in which it is chartered to do business, including the credit needs of low- and moderate-income populations within such communities. The Bank's CRA rating is a factor reviewed in connection with mergers, acquisitions, and other regulatory applications. The proposed revision would adopt a performance-based evaluation system, measuring the Bank's lending, investment and service to its delineated lending community, in lieu of the current process-based system of evaluation. The Bank's current CRA rating is outstanding, and the Bank believes that it can continue to receive comparable CRA ratings if the new evaluation system is adopted as proposed. Legislation has been introduced in Congress to merge the Bank's primary federal regulator, the OTS, with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the primary federal regulator of national banks, and to create a new bank regulatory agency, the Federal Banking Agency. There can be no assurance that this legislation or similar legislation will be enacted, or the impact on the Bank and Company of such legislation. 66 St.Paul Bancorp, Inc.
