NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2000 NOTE 1 - A BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting for instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. 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 adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in American Bancorp, Inc.'s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. NOTE 2 - IMPAIRED LOANS On January 1, 1995 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company. Interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to principal if there is doubt as to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income. As it relates to in-substance foreclosures, SFAS No. 114 requires that a creditor continue to follow loan classification on the balance sheet unless the creditor receives physical possession of the collateral. The Company had no in-substance foreclosures in foreclosed assets to transfer to nonperforming loans and no related reserve for losses to transfer to the reserve for possible loan losses. NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTIES Directors, executive officers, and 10 % shareholders and their related interest had loans outstanding totaling $ 1,584,000 at June 30, 2000. NOTE 4- EARNING PER SHARE The earnings per share computations are based on weighted average number of shares outstanding during each quarter of 117,697 and 117,736 for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively and during each six month period of 117,700 and 118,048 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion presents a review of the major factors and trends affecting the performance of the Company and its bank subsidiary and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. OVERVIEW The Company reported net income of $641,000 for the first six months of 2000 compared to $570,000 for the same period of 1999. The Company reported net income of $312,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $306,000 for the same period of 1999. On a per share basis, the net income was $5.45 for the first six months of 2000 compared to $4.83 for the same period on 1999 and $2.65 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to $2.60 for the same quarter of 1999. The Company recorded a provision for possible loan losses of $0 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and $0 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Net interest income increased 12.0% to $1,823,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to $1,628,000 for the same period of 1999. Net interest income increased 11.2% to $917,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to $825,000 for the same period of 1999. Total assets were $77,178,000 at June 30, 2000, a decrease of $3,054,000 from December 31, 1999. Loans increased by $1,136,000 or 4.02% from $28,253,000 at December 31, 1999 to $29,389,000 at June 30, 2000. Deposits decreased by $3,756,000 or 5.33% from $70,434,000 at December 31, 1999 to $66,678,000 at June 30, 2000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $1,823,000, a $ 195,000 increase from the same period in 1999. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $917,000 a $92,000 increase from the same period of 1999. Factors contributing to these increases include an increase in the average balance of investment securities and of loans as well as an increase in the average rate earned on taxable investment securities and on loans. This positive effect was partially negated by a decrease in the average balance of federal funds sold. The overall effect of volume and rate changes on net interest income during the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and the three month period ended June 30, 2000 was favorable. PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded no provision for possible loan losses for both the first six months of 2000 and 1999 and no provision for the three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The absence of a provision is the result of continued improvements in asset quality and low net charge offs of loans. As a percentage of outstanding loans, the allowance for possible loan losses was 1.90% and 2.01% at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The provision is determined by the level of net charge offs, the size of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, anticipated economic conditions, and review of financial condition of specific customers. NONINTEREST INCOME. For the first six months of 2000 noninterest income increased $34,000 or 10.6% compared to the same period of 1999. For the three month period ended June 30, 2000 noninterest income increased $17,000 or 11% compared to the same period of 1999. Other non-interest income increased by $40,000 or 83.3% for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period of 1999. Other noninterest increased by $18,000 or 94.7% for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same period of 1999. Part of these increases is the result of an increase in miscellaneous income and a gain on the sale of fixed assets in the first six months of 2000. There were no securities gains in the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 nor in the three month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. 10 NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first six months of 2000 noninterest expense increased $144,000 or 12.4% compared to the same period in 1999. For the three month period ended June 30, 2000 noninterest expense increased $109,000 or 19.7% compared to the same period in 1999. Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased by $67,000 or 11.2% for the first six months of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. This increase was attributed to an overall increase in salaries. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $44,000 or 14.5% for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period of 1999. This increase is also attributed to an overall increase in salaries. INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $234,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $220,000 for the same period of 1999. The provision for income taxes recorded for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 is $115,000 compared to $121,000 for the same period in 1999. FINANCIAL CONDITION LOANS. Loans were $29,389,000 at June 30, 2000; up by $1,136,000 or 4.02% from December 31, 1999.

Restructured loans are loans which, due to a deteriorated financial condition of the borrower, have a below market yield. Interest payments received on nonperforming loans are applied to reduce principal if there is doubt as to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income. Certain nonperforming loans are current as to principal and interest payments are classified as nonperforming because there is a question concerning full collectibility of both principal and interest. Nonperforming assets totaled $5,000 at June 30, 2000, a $104,000 (95.4%) decrease from December 31, 1999. The composition of nonperforming assets are illustrated below: Non-Performing Loans: June 30, 2000 Dec 31, 1999 ------------- ------------ Loans on Non-Accrual $ 0 $ 70 Restructured loans which are not on non-accrual 5 39 ---- ----- Total nonperforming loans 5 109 Other Real Estate and repossessed assets received in complete or partial satisfaction of loan obligation 0 0 ---- ----- TOTAL NONPERFORMING ASSETS $ 5 $ 109 ==== ===== Loans past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest, but not on $ 12 $ 8 non-accrual ==== ===== TABLE IV - ANALYSIS OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES June 30, 2000 Dec 31, 1999 ------------- ------------ Beginning balance $ 579 $ 596 Charge-offs: Commercial, financial and agricultural loans -- (13) Real estate - construction loans -- -- Real estate - mortgage loans -- -- Installment loans to individuals (10) (7) ----- ----- Total charge-offs (10) (20) ----- ----- Recoveries: Commercial, financial and agricultural loans -- -- Real estate - construction loans -- -- Real estate - mortgage loans -- -- Installment loans to individuals -- 3 ----- ----- Total recoveries 0 3 ----- ----- Net (charge-offs) recovery (10) (17) ----- ----- Provision charged against income -- -- ----- ----- Balance at end of period $ 569 $ 579 ===== ===== Ratio of net (charge-offs) recoveries during the period to average loans outstanding during the period (0.03)% (0.06)% ===== ===== The present level of the allowance for loan losses is considered adequate to absorb future potential loan losses. In making this determination, management considered asset quality, the level of net loan charge-offs, as well as current economic conditions and market trends. 13 TABLE V - ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for possible loan losses has been allocated according to the amount deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide for the possibility of losses being incurred within the following categories of loans.

As of June 30, 2000 total deposits have decreased by $3,756,000 or 5.33 % from December 31, 1999. Noninterest bearing deposits increased by $ 41,000 or .17% from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000. Interest bearing deposits decreased by $3,797,000 or 8.14% from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000. The decrease in interest bearing deposits is attributable to the decrease in deposits by a local public body. CAPITAL. Shareholders' equity totaled $10,109,000 at June 30, 2000, compared to $9,506,000 at December 31, 1999. The increase is primarily the result of year to date net income . Risk-based capital and leverage ratios for the Company and the bank subsidiary exceed the ratios required for the designation as a "well-capitalized" institution under regulatory guidelines.
