NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of First
Midwest Bancorp, Inc. ("First Midwest") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and with the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of Management, all normal and recurring adjustments which are
necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods presented have
been included. The preparation of financial statements requires Management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In
addition, certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 data to conform
to the 1997 presentation. All common stock and per share data have been adjusted
to reflect the 5-for-4 stock split affected in the form of a stock dividend
which was paid in December, 1996. For further information with respect to
significant accounting policies followed by First Midwest in the preparation of
its consolidated financial statements, refer to First Midwest's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
EARNINGS PER SHARE - In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement No. 128 ("FASB No. 128"), "Earnings Per Share" which
provides new accounting guidelines governing the computation of earnings per
share effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 1997.
At that time, all publicly-held companies will be required to change the method
currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.
Under the new requirements of FASB No. 128, the primary ("basic") earnings per
share calculation will exclude the dilutive effect of all common stock
equivalents. Further, FASB No. 128 requires additional disclosures including
dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the
Statement of Income. Under FASB No. 128, First Midwest's calculation of basic
earnings per share for the quarters and six months ending June 30, 1997 and 1996
was $.54 and $.48 per share, and $1.06 and $.94 per share respectively,
reflecting no change from the current accounting guidelines. FASB No. 128 is not
anticipated to have a material effect on First Midwest's calculation of diluted
earnings per share for these periods.

5. PENDING ACQUISITION
On June 20, 1997 First Midwest announced that it had entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire SparBank, Incorporated, ("SparBank"). SparBank is the
holding company of McHenry State Bank ("MSB"), a 4-branch bank headquartered in
McHenry, Illinois. SparBank had total assets and stockholders' equity of
approximately $438 million and $52 million, respectively, as of June 30, 1997.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, SparBank recorded net income of $3,134
resulting in return on average assets and stockholders equity of 1.41% and
12.38%, respectively.
Pursuant to the agreement, the transaction will be structured as a tax-free
exchange and accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Each outstanding share of
SparBank's common stock, no par value, will be converted to 21.7234 shares of
First Midwest common stock, $.01 par value, resulting in the issuance of
3,230,769 shares of First Midwest common stock.
The agreement, which has been approved by the Board of Directors of both
companies and the shareholders of SparBank, is subject to customary regulatory
approvals. First Midwest shareholder approval is not necessary. It is
anticipated that the acquisition will be consummated in early fourth quarter
1997. A pre-tax merger related charge of approximately $6.5 million will be
recognized in the quarter the transaction is closed that includes costs related
to system conversions, elimination of excess operating capacity, professional
fees, and a one-time provision to bring MSB's loan loss reserves to First
Midwest's required levels. First Midwest anticipates merging MSB into its
principal banking subsidiary, First Midwest Bank, N.A., in late first quarter
1998.
6. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS
There are certain legal proceedings pending against First Midwest and its
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business at June 30, 1997. In assessing
these proceedings, including the advice of counsel, First Midwest believes that
liabilities arising from these proceedings, if any, would not have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of First Midwest.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion presented below provides an analysis of First Midwest's results
of operations and financial condition for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1997 as compared to the same periods in 1996. Management's discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report as well as
First Midwest's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the
quarters and six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year of 1997.
SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE
Net Income
- ----------
Net income for the second quarter of 1997 increased to $9,002 or $.54 per share
from $8,217, or $.48 per share in the like quarter of 1996, representing an
increase of 12.5% on a per share basis. Net income for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, totaled $17,728, or $1.06 per share from $16,142, or $.94 per
share for the like period in 1996, representing a 12.8% increase per share.
Return on Average Assets and Stockholders' Equity
- -------------------------------------------------
Return on average assets was 1.21% for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to
1.06% for the same quarter in 1996. Return on average assets was 1.19% for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 1.04% for the same period in
1996.
Return on average stockholders' equity was 13.79% for the second quarter of
1997, as compared to 13.03% for the same quarter in 1996. Return on average
stockholders equity was 13.71% for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to 12.85% for the same period in 1996.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $32,759 for the second
quarter of 1997, representing an increase of $1,680 or 5% over the year-ago
quarter totaling $31,079. As shown in the Volume/Rate Analysis on page 10, the
improvement in net interest income is comprised of reduced interest income of
$223 net of lower interest expense of $1,903. The net interest margin for the
second quarter of 1997 increased to 4.70% as compared to 4.33% for the same
period in 1996. The improvement in net interest margin is primarily due to a
combination of a more profitable asset mix with the yield on interest earning
assets improving by 22 basis points and a stable cost of fund with the rates
paid on interest bearing liabilities dropping by 3 basis points. Further,
declining dependance on wholesale funding as well as a reduction in higher rate
certificates of deposits contributed to the reduction in funding costs.
As shown in the Volume/Rate Analysis, the $223 decrease in interest income for
the quarter is largely attributable to volume variances in the securities
available for sale portfolio, which declined by $136,512 in the current quarter
as compared to the like quarter last year. Such decrease resulted in the re-
deployment of securities fundings into reductions of more expensive short term
borrowings. Offsetting the reduced volumes in the securities portfolio is the
increased volumes and interest rates on the loan portfolio, totaling to a net
improvement of $2,096 to interest income. Loans increased by $65 million and
represented 73% of total earning assets for the second quarter of 1997 as
compared to 68% for the 1996 quarter. Such volume growth contributed $1,484 of
the $2,096 in interest income with the remaining $612 being due to higher
average interest rates earned on the portfolio. Were it not for the second
quarter 1997 sale of $47,000 in 1-4 family residential loans, the current
quarter would have reflected an increase in average loan levels of approximately
$112,000, reflecting growth in core lending.
The $1,903 decrease in interest expense resulted from reduced volumes of
interest bearing liabilities which declined by $162 million for the second
quarter of 1997 as compared to the year-ago quarter. The most significant
changes impacting the decrease in interest expense occurred in lower volumes on
higher yielding money market, time deposits and short-term borrowings, which
were partly offset by higher rates on short-term borrowings. The change in
volume levels reflects a shift in deposit mix to lower cost savings deposits.
Short-term borrowing balances declined in the second quarter of 1997 by $103
million from year ago levels with reduced discretionary funding needs on which
the rates increased commensurate with short-term market interest rates.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, net interest margin increased to
4.64% from 4.23% for 1996. The Volume/Rate Analysis for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to the like 1996 period is presented on page 11.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income totaled $7,778 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to $7,492 for the same quarter in 1996. Exclusive of net security
gains/(losses) which totaled ($152) for the second quarter of 1997 as compared
to $469 for the like period in 1996, noninterest income increased by $907 or 13%
with every major component of operating income contributing to the increase.
Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $93 as a result of a higher
volume of fees on business checking accounts. Trust and investment management
fees increased by $126 due to growth in business. Other service charges,
commissions and fees added $85 from higher merchant credit card fees and credit
life insurance premiums. The $374 increase in mortgage banking revenues was
primarily attributable to higher volumes of sales of loans into the secondary
market. Growth in ATM revenues contributed to the increase of $229 in other
income for the second quarter ending June 30, 1997.
Noninterest income totaled $16,239 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to $14,402 for the same period in 1996. Factoring out net securities
gains totaling $213 for the 1997 six month period as compared to $545 for the
1996 period, noninterest income increased by $2,169, or 16%. The reasons for
the increase in noninterest income for the six month period generally followed
those described above for the second quarter.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense totaled $25,054 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
increasing by $1,853 from $23,201 for the same quarter in 1996. For the six
months ended June 30, 1997, noninterest expense totaled $48,823 as compared to
$46,354 for the same period in 1996, increasing $2,469, or 5%. Contributing to
the six month variance was a nonrecurring acquisition credit of $324 recorded in
the first quarter of 1996. Explanations for the six month noninterest expense
increase generally follow the second quarter's variance discussions, as detailed
below.
Occupancy expense increased $430 in the second quarter of 1997 from the same
period in 1996 and reflects the operational costs of four additional branches
which were established in the second half of 1996. Equipment expense and
computer processing expense increased by a combined total of $241 in the second
quarter of 1997 as compared to the like period in 1996. This increase reflects
higher equipment depreciation expense as a result of Companywide computer
hardware upgrades and capitalized purchases of furniture and equipment for the
additional branches. Also contributing to this increase was $100 in computer
processing costs related to implementation of a wide area network.
Professional services for the 1997 quarter was $445 or 29% in excess of the like
1996 quarter primarily due to consulting services related to the second quarter
$47 million sale of 1-4 family real estate loans, in addition to costs for a
compensation study and personnel recruitment expense. Additionally, other
expenses increased by $941 which was spread among various categories of
miscellaneous expense.
Partially offsetting the above increases in noninterest income was reduced
salaries and wages and retirement and other employee benefits, which decreased
by $303 as compared to the same period in 1996, due to reduced profit sharing
and pension plan expenses.
The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was 60.71% as compared
to the 1996 second quarter ratio of 60.41%, while the efficiency ratio for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 was 59.91% as compared to the prior year's like
period of 61.45%. The slight increase in the 1997 efficiency ratio reflects
well-controlled noninterest expenses and the continued realization of cost
benefits from the 1995 Companywide restructuring.
12
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense totaled $4,559 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
decreasing from $4,833 for the same period in 1996 and reflects effective income
tax rates of 33.6% and 37.0% respectively. Income tax expense totaled $9,738
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increasing from $9,206 for the 1996 six
month period and reflects effective tax rates of 35.5% and 36.3%, respectively.
The decrease in effective tax rate is primarily attributable to higher state tax
exempt income in 1997.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND 90 DAY PAST DUE LOANS
----------------------------------------------
At June 30, 1997, nonperforming assets totaled $16,208 and loans past due 90
days or more and still accruing totaled $4,470. The following table summarizes
nonperforming assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, as
of the close of the last five calendar quarters:

Nonaccrual loans, totaling $10,723 at June 30, 1997 are comprised of commercial
and agricultural loans (58%), real estate loans (34%) and consumer loans (8%).
Foreclosed real estate, totaling $5,485 at June 30, 1997, primarily represents
commercial real estate properties.
Information with respect to impaired loans is contained in Note 4 to the
consolidated financial statements, located on page 7.
PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Transactions in the reserve for loan losses during the quarters and six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are summarized in the following table:
Quarters ended Six months ended
June 30, June 30,
--------- -------- -------- --------
1997 1996 1997 1996
--------- -------- -------- --------
Balance at beginning of period............................ $ 33,747 $ 28,076 $ 30,148 $ 29,194
Provision for loan losses.............................. 1,192 1,767 3,270 2,626

--------- -------- -------- --------
Balance at end of period.................................. $ 33,292 $ 28,597 $ 33,292 $ 28,597
======== ======== ======== ========
The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense for the second
quarter of 1997 totaled $1,192 as compared to $1,767 for the same quarter in
1996. The amount of the provision for loan losses in any given period is
dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, changes in the composition
of the loan portfolio, net charge-off levels, delinquencies, collateral values,
and Management's assessment of current and prospective economic conditions. Net
loan charge-offs for the quarter totaled $1,647, or 0.33% of average loans in
1997 as compared to net charge-offs of $1,246, or 0.26% recorded in 1996.
13
The reserve for loan losses at June 30, 1997 was comprised of three parts:
allocated for specific impaired loans, $2,022; allocated for general segments of
unimpaired loans, $7,176; and unallocated, $24,094. That part of the reserve
allocated for specific impaired loans is discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements located on page 7. That part of the reserve allocated for
unimpaired general loan segments represents First Midwest's best judgement as to
potential loss exposure based upon both historical loss trends as well as loan
ratings and qualitative evaluations of such segments. The unallocated portion
of the reserve is that part not allocated to either a specific loan on which
loss is anticipated or allocated to general segments of the unimpaired loan
portfolio.
The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding increased
to 1.63% at June 30, 1997 as compared to 1.44% at June 30, 1996. Such reserve
level is considered adequate in relation to the estimated risk of future losses
within the loan portfolio.
The distribution of the loan portfolio is presented in Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statement located on page 7. The loan portfolio consists
dominantly of loans originated by First Midwest from its primary markets and
generally represents credit extension to multi-relationship customers.
CAPITAL
The table below compares First Midwest's capital structure to the minimum
capital ratios required by its primary regulator, the Federal Reserve Board
("FRB"). Also provided is a comparison of capital ratios for First Midwest's
national banking subsidiary, First Midwest Bank, N.A., to its primary regulator,
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC)". Both First Midwest and
("FMB, N.A.") are subject to the minimum capital ratios defined by banking
regulators pursuant to the FDIC Improvement Act ("FDICIA") and have capital
measurements well in excess of the minimums required by their respective bank
regulatory authorities to be considered "well-capitalized" which is the highest
capital category established under the FDICIA.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The preceding "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" sections of this Form 10-Q contain various "forward
looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, which represents First Midwest's expectations and beliefs concerning
future events including, but not limited to, the following: the loan loss
reserve levels going forward; the impact of the 1995 plan of restructuring on
its financial performance and future growth; Management's assessment of its
provision and reserve for loan loss levels based upon future changes in the
composition of its loan portfolio, loan losses, collateral value and economic
conditions.
The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those setforth
in the forward looking statements due to market, economic and other business
related risks and uncertainties effecting the realization of such statements.
Certain of these risks and uncertainties included in such forward looking
statements include, without limitations, the following: significant
fluctuations in market interest rates and operational limitations; deviations
from the assumptions used to evaluate the appropriate level of the reserve for
loan losses as well as future purchases and sales of loans may affect the
appropriate level of the reserve for loan losses and thereby affect the future
levels of provisioning.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected
results in these statements. First Midwest does not undertake, and specifically
disclaims, any obligation to update any forward looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
