AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avondale Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1995 Annual Report. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by average shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. The strike price of stock options outstanding is above the market price as of June 30, 1996 and therefore do not represent a dilutive effect. These options therefore are not included in the earnings per share calculation. As of June 30, 1995 there were no common stock equivalents outstanding. NOTE 2 - REGULATORY CAPITAL Pursuant to the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), savings institutions must meet three separate minimum capital-to- assets requirements: (1) a risk-based capital requirement of 8% of risk-weighted assets, (2) a core capital ratio of 3% core capital to adjusted total assets, and (3) a tangible capital requirement of 1.5% tangible core capital to adjusted total assets. The following table summarizes, as of June 30, 1996, Avondale Federal Savings Bank's (the "Bank") capital requirements under FIRREA and its actual capital ratios at that date: Bank Capital Actual Requirement Capital ----------- ---------- Risk-based 8.00% 23.82% Core 3.00% 9.86% Tangible 1.50% 9.86% NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In March, 1995, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", which is effective for financial statements issued for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles that are used in operations be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets might not be recoverable. Management believes that the adoption of SFAS 121 does not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. 7 In May, 1995, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 ("SFAS 122"), "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 122 provides guidance on the accounting for mortgage servicing rights and the evaluation and recognition of impairment of mortgage servicing rights. Management believes that the provisions of SFAS 122 does not currently have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In October, 1995, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation". The accounting method for stock-based compensation provided in the statement, in particular for stock options, differs from APB Opinion No. 25, under which most of the accounting requirements for stock-based compensation were previously contained. The measurement and recognition provisions of the statement are effective in 1996. An entity that continues to apply Opinion 25 is required to provide pro forma net income and earnings per share, as if the accounting method in SFAS No. 123 had been used for stock-based compensation costs. The Company has decided not to adopt the measurement recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123. 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION GENERAL The Company was formed in June 1993 and became the holding company for Avondale upon consummation of the Conversion to stock form on April 3, 1995. The Company has conducted no business other than that directly related to the Bank. The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent upon the Bank's net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on its interest-earning assets such as loans and mortgage-backed or other securities, and interest paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowed funds. Net interest income is directly affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on such amounts. The Company's results of operations are also affected by the provision for loan losses and the level of noninterest income and expenses. Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges and other fees. In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, substantial additional income was derived from securities gains in the continuing effort to manage the available-for-sale portfolio on a total return basis. Noninterest expenses includes salaries and employee benefits, real estate owned, occupancy of premises, federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing expenses and other operating expenses. The operating results of Avondale are also affected by general economic conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies and the policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions. Avondale's cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for real estate loans, home equity lines of credit and other types of loans, which is in turn affected by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions affecting loan demand and the availability of funds for lending activities. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF JUNE 30, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995 GENERAL. Total assets decreased $17.8 million or 2.9% to $592.7 million as of June 30, 1996 from $610.5 million as of December 31, 1995. This decrease was primarily due to a $30.1 million decrease in securities available-for-sale and a $35.4 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale. The Company decided early in the year to reduce the security portfolios and the borrowings which funded some securities within the available-for-sale portfolios. The Company followed this strategy to reduce its risk of market loss in a declining market. These decreases were partially offset by a substantial $44.2 (20.0%) million increase in loans. Avondale continues to focus on the origination of equity lines of credit. The Company utilizes a credit scoring model, whereby the equity lines of credit are priced according to the credit scores of the customer, as well as the loan to real estate value percentage. The Company originated 1,847 home equity line of credit loans with lines of $55.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Total liabilities decreased $9.7 million from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1996. Deposits decreased $11.5 million while other borrowings increased $2.5 million over this period of time. The Company had initiated 2 stock buy-back programs in 1996. The Company had repurchased 580,000 shares $8.5 million of stock the first half of the year. The net unrealized gain (loss) on securities available-for-sale had decreased $2,021,000 over the six month period ended June 30, 1996 reflecting the general rise in interest rates. Therefore total stockholders' equity had decreased $8.1 million from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1996 in spite of $1,877,000 in net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996. 9 COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995. GENERAL. Net income decreased slightly by $41,000 or 4.0% to $937,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $978,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. The quarterly results were essentially the same as those achieved during the first quarter of 1996. In spite of the decrease quarterly earnings compared with the same quarter the previous year, earnings-per-share increased 4% to $.26 per share from $.25 per share, the result of the stock buy-back programs initiated by the Company during the first half of 1996. The Company's return on average assets increased to 0.64% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared with 0.71% for the three months ended June 30, 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net income increased 36.0% to $1,877,000, $.49 per share compared to $1,380,000 during the first half of 1995. No per share data is available for the first six months of 1995 as the Company became public in April 1995. The Company's return on average assets was 0.63% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with 0.54% for the comparable period in 1995. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased $617,000 or 14.7% to $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 primarily due to the increase in average loans outstanding which have interest rates indexed with the prime lending rate and a like reduction in fixed-rate investment securities. Since December 31, 1995, loans outstanding have increased almost 20% and since June 30, 1995, loans outstanding have increased 39.7 percent or $75.6 million. The increase in loans which replaced lower yielding securities is the reason for the increase in net interest income. The net interest margin for the quarter was 3.41% compared to 3.19% during the quarter ended June 30, 1995. On a year-to- date basis, the net interest margin was 3.39% compared to 3.11% for the six months ended June 30, 1995. 10 TABLE 1 AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST RATES AND YIELDS (In Thousands) The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resultant costs, expressed both in dollars and rates. No tax equivalent adjustments were made. To the extent received, interest on non-accruing loans has been included in the table.

Six months ended: June 30, 1996 Vs Six months ended: June 30, 1995 ------------------------------------ Increase (Decrease) Due to ------------------------------------ Volume Rate Net ------ ------ ------ Interest Income Loans $2,453 $(156) $2,297 Securities 86 174 260 Mortgage-backed securities 841 526 1,367 -------------------------------- Total interest income 3,380 544 3,924 -------------------------------- Interest Expense Deposits (456) 181 (275) Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank 497 9 506 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase 1,153 (71) 1,082 Other borrowings 635 (125) 510 -------------------------------- Total interest expense 1,829 (6) 1,823 -------------------------------- Net interest income $1,551 $ 550 $2,101 ================================ INTEREST INCOME: Interest income increased $959,000 to $11.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. This increase was the result of a $37.3 million increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding to $566.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $529.3 million during the same period for the prior year. In spite of a decline in the average prime lending rate, income on loans increased $1.4 million, the result of the substantial increase in loan production. The Company has emphasized the origination of home equity lines of credit utilizing credit-scoring models using risk-based pricing, whereby the interest rate of the loan is determined by both the borrower's credit score and the ratio of the loan to the appraised value of the property. Interest on securities declined $350,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995. The average securities portfolio and mortgage-backed security portfolio declined as the Company replaced securities with loans. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, interest income increased 21.1%, $3.9 million to $22.5 million when compared to the first half of 1995. Substantially all of this increase is attributable to the increased level of loans outstanding. Included in interest for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was approximately $290,000 of accelerated accretion of discounts on callable securities that were called during the year. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 interest expense increased $1.8 million all of which is attributed to the increase in the level of borrowed funds. 14 INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $342,000 from $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. This increase was attributable to both an average increase in interest- bearing liabilities of $37.8 million from $467.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $504.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996; offset by a slight decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 0.11% from 5.03% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to 4.92% for the same period ended June 30, 1996. The increase in interest expense was the result of increased borrowings used to support the increase in the loan portfolio. The Company plans an asset securitization for the fourth quarter of 1996 and to further reduce its securities portfolio. Proceeds from these transactions will be used to fund its continued loan growth to further reduce other debt. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSS AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. The Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at level which is considered by management to be adequate to absorb loan losses on existing loans, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problems, the value of related collateral, the regulators' stringent view of adequate reserve levels for the thrift industry and the current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. Loans are evaluated and categorized into risk categories. For each risk category, the methodology assigns a percentage of principal amount of the category that should be maintained as a general valuation allowance. To the extent that the amount of loans categorized into the respective risk categories requires the general valuation allowance to be increased, the provision for loan losses will be impacted accordingly. Therefore, in the event Avondale is required to increase its allowance for loan losses, operating results could be adversely affected. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The Company continues to provide for loan losses at a rate consistent with loan growth as opposed to actual losses. The provision for loan losses increased $75,000 to $475,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $400,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the provision for loan losses increased over 100% to $1,125,000 compared with $530,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1995. The allowance for loan losses was $4.3 million as of June 30, 1996 compared to $3.2 million as of June 30, 1995, while non-performing loans were 0.99% of total loans as of June 30, 1996, as compared to 2.40% as of June 30, 1995. The allowance for loan loss as a percentage of loans outstanding remained the same at 1.63% for both June 30, 1996 and 1995. NON-INTEREST INCOME: Noninterest income increased $41,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the previous year. On a year-to-date basis, noninterest income increased $601,000 to $1,719,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $1,118,000 for the same period a year ago, due to substantial securities gains as a result of managing the available-for-sale portfolios. The Company had $1,095,000 in securities gains for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to net gains of $444,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. During the year the Company took advantage of market conditions to reduce its exposure in securities index to the Cost of Funds Index ("COFI") and to increasing accelerated prepayments of ARM securities. The proceeds from sales were used to reduce other borrowings and/or reinvested in loan product. Other than the security transactions, the most significant change in other income which increased $82,000 for the quarter and $67,000 for the six month period, was the result of increased fees from the sale of annuity products by the Bank's financial services subsidiary. 15 NON-INTEREST EXPENSE: Noninterest expenses increased $611,000 or 19.6% to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, noninterest expenses increased $1,319,000 to $7.5 million from $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This increase was attributable to increased salaries and employee benefits of $765,000, primarily the result of a $586,000 amortization of restricted stock awards granted in late 1995 and additional staff necessary to service the increase in loan accounts, an increase of $222,000 in advertising and public relations related to marketing the Company's consumer lending products, an increase of $184,000 in data processing expense connected with the conversion of the Company's data processing provider and increases in other operating expenses due to the increase of non-deferred loan origination costs relating to increased loan originations, and the expense of costs pertaining to becoming a public corporation. For the six months ending June 30, 1996, the Company's efficiency ratio was 65.3%. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes increased $13,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 from the same period ended June 30, 1995. The respective income tax expense represented effective tax rates of 36.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and 35.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 income taxes increased $290,000 to $998,000. The effective tax rate for the six month periods ending June 30, 1996 and 1995 were 34.7% and 33.9% respectively. The increase in the effective tax rates is the result of sales of securities which were exempt from state income taxes, being replaced by other interest earning assets which are taxable for state tax purposes. 16 PART 11 - OTHER INFORMATION The calculation of the Registrant's primary and fully diluted earnings per share required by 601(b)(11) of Regulation S-K is presented below (dollars in thousands, except per share data): For the Three Months Ended June 30, 1996: Primary -------------------------------------- Net income $ 937 Average common shares outstanding 3,667 Common stock equivalent - -------- Average primary shares outstanding 3,667 Primary earning per share $ 0.26 Fully diluted earnings per share -------------------------------------- Net income $ 937 Average common shares outstanding 3,667 Common stock equivalent - -------- Average fully diluted shares outstanding 3,667 Fully diluted earning per share $ 0.26 17 For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996: Primary ---------------------------------------- Net income $ 1,877 Average common shares outstanding 3,845 Common stock equivalent - ------- Average primary shares outstanding 3,845 Primary earning per share $ 0.49 Fully diluted earnings per share ---------------------------------------- Net income $ 1,877 Average common shares outstanding 3,845 Common stock equivalent - ------- Average fully diluted shares outstanding 3,845 Fully diluted earning per share $ 0.49 18 SIGNATURES ---------- Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized, on this 12th day of August, 1996.
