FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and balances of St. Francis Capital Corporation (the "Company"), St. Francis Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank"), Bank Wisconsin ("Bank Wisconsin") and the Bank's and Bank Wisconsin's wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year ending September 30, 1997. The September 30, 1996 Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition presented with the interim financial statements was audited and the auditors' report thereon was unqualified. Certain previously reported balances have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. (3) Commitments and Contingencies The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for the commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for instruments that are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. 8 9 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows: Contractual or Notional Amount(s) --------------------------------- December 31, September 30, 1996 1996 ------------ ------------- (In thousands) Commitments to extend credit: Fixed-rate loans $ 3,542 $ 18,487 Variable-rate loans 13,575 18,722 Guarantees under IRB issues 11,220 4,200 Interest rate swap agreements 55,000 55,000 Commitments to: Purchase mortgage-backed securities - 12,800 Sell mortgage-backed securities 5,000 1,100 Unused and open-ended lines of credit: Consumer 114,054 107,052 Commercial 16,258 14,935 Open option contracts written: Short-put options 6,000 4,000 Short-call options 6,000 4,000 Commitments to fund equity investments 8,582 13,796 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates of 45 days or less or other termination clauses and may require a fee. Fixed-rate loan commitments as of December 31, 1996 have interest rates ranging from 7.45% to 8.20%. Because some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent cash requirements. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. The Company generally extends credit on a secured basis. Collateral obtained consists primarily of one- to four-family residences and other residential and commercial real estate. The Company has entered into agreements whereby, for an initial and annual fee, it will guarantee payment for an industrial development revenue bond issue ("IRB"). The IRB is issued by a municipality to finance real estate owned by a third party. Potential loss on a guarantee is the notional amount of the guarantee less the value of the real estate collateral. Appraised values of the real estate collateral exceed the amount of the guarantee. Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount on which the interest rate payments are calculated. While interest rate swaps on their own have market risk, these agreements were entered into as hedges of the interest rates on the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") advances used to fund fixed rate securities purchases. 9 10 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements The agreements at December 31, 1996 consist of the following: Notional Amount Maturity Fixed Variable (000s) Type Date Rate Rate - ---------------------------------------------------------------- $10,000 Fixed Pay-Floating Receive 1998 4.93% 5.61% 10,000 Fixed Pay-Floating Receive 1998 5.04% 5.59% 15,000 Fixed Pay-Floating Receive 1998 5.25% 5.50% 10,000 Fixed Pay-Floating Receive 1998 5.23% 5.50% 10,000 Fixed Pay-Floating Receive 1998 5.43% 5.50% The fair value of interest rate swaps, which is based on the present value of the swap using dealer quotes, represent the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into account current interest rates and market volatility. At December 31, 1996, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $807,000. Commitments to purchase/sell mortgage-backed securities are contracts which represent notional amounts to purchase/sell mortgage-backed securities at a future date and specified price. Such commitments generally have fixed settlement dates. The unused and open consumer lines of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company for extensions of credit such as home equity, auto, credit card or other similar consumer type financing. Furthermore, the unused and open commercial lines of credit are also conditional commitments issued by the Company for extensions of credit such as working capital, agricultural production, equipment or other similar commercial type financing. The credit risk involved in extending lines of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held for these commitments may include, but may not be limited to, real estate, investment securities, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory and Company deposits. The open option contracts written represent the notional amounts to buy (short-put options) or sell (short-call options) mortgage-backed securities at a future date and specified price. The Company receives a premium/fee for option contracts written which gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities within a specified time period for a contracted price. Because these contracts can expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent cash requirements. The Company has been primarily utilizing these items to manage the interest rate and market value risk relating to mortgage-backed securities that result from the MBS loan swap program and mortgage loan pipeline. The commitments to fund equity investments represent amounts St. Francis Equity Properties ("SFEP"), a subsidiary of the Bank, is committed to invest in low-income housing projects, which would qualify for tax credits under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Code provides a per state volume cap on the amounts of low-income housing tax credits ("LIHTCs") that may be taken with respect to low-income housing projects in each state. In order to claim a LIHTC, a credit allocation must be received from the appropriate state or local housing development authority. SFEP is currently a limited partner in 20 projects and has committed to equity investments totaling $8.6 million in an additional five projects within the state of Wisconsin. At December 31, 1996, SFEP's equity investments in such projects totaled $16.7 million. Additionally, the Bank has provided financing or committed to provide financing to 24 of these projects. At December 31, 1996, the Bank had loans outstanding to such projects of $20.7 million. The primary return to the Company on these projects is in the form of tax credits. 10 11 ST.

Gross realized gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale during the three months ended December 31, 1996 totaled approximately $509,000 and $33,000, respectively. (5) Earnings Per Share Earnings per share of common stock for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, have been determined by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Stock options are regarded as common stock equivalents and are, therefore, considered in per share calculations. Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method. Book value per share of common stock at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996 have been determined by dividing total shareholders' equity by the number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents considered outstanding at the respective dates. Common shares outstanding have been reduced by the ESOP shares that have not been committed to be released. 11 12 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements The computation of earnings per common share is as follows: Three months ended December 31, ------------------------- 1996 1995 ---------- ---------- Net income for the period $3,157,000 $4,075,000 ========== ========== Common shares issued 7,289,620 7,289,620 Net Treasury shares 1,890,574 1,216,419 Unallocated ESOP shares 338,198 380,445 ---------- ---------- Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period 5,060,848 5,692,756 Common stock equivalents based on the treasury stock method 287,937 280,801 ---------- ---------- Total weighted average common shares and equivalents outstanding 5,348,785 5,973,557 ========== ========== Earnings per share $0.59 $0.68 The computation of book value per common share is as follows: December 31, September 30, 1996 1996 ----------- ------------ Common shares outstanding at the end of the period 5,017,866 5,127,092 Incremental shares relating to dilutive stock options outstanding at the end of the period 288,590 286,766 ------------ ------------ 5,306,456 5,413,858 ============ ============ Total shareholders' equity at the end of the period $125,910,000 $125,179,000 Book value per common share $23.73 $23.12 (6) Acquisitions In April 1996, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement with Kilbourn State Bank for the acquisition of Kilbourn State Bank by St. Francis Capital Corporation. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Kilbourn State Bank for cash, with Kilbourn subsequently merging into Bank Wisconsin, the Company's commercial banking subsidiary. The acquisition, which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and Kilbourn State Bank, is expected to close during the second quarter of 1997, subject to Kilbourn shareholder approval and various other conditions of closing. 12 13 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, of Financial Condition and Results of Operations FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in quarterly reports or press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, various words or phrases are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include words and phrases such as "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions and various other statements indicated herein with an asterisk after such statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets at December 31, 1996 were $1.41 billion, virtually unchanged from $1.40 billion at September 30, 1996. Asset categories were largely unchanged while an increase in deposits of $16.8 million to $894.5 million was partially offset by a decline in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $10.7 million to $368,000. The Company's ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets was 8.9% at December 31, 1996 and at September 30, 1996. The Company's book value per share was $23.73 at December 31, 1996, compared to $23.12 at September 30, 1996. Mortgage-backed and related securities, including mortgage-backed and related securities available for sale, decreased $2.5 million to $585.7 million at December 31, 1996 from $588.2 million at September 30, 1996. The decrease is the result of a combination of purchases, sales and repayments of existing securities. Loans receivable, including mortgage loans held for sale, increased $3.5 million to $634.8 million at December 31, 1996 from $631.3 million at September 30, 1996. The increase was due primarily to the increase in loans originated for retention in the Company's loan portfolio. The Company currently sells all fixed rate mortgage loans and retains adjustable-rate mortgage loans for its portfolio. Additionally, the Company has increased its emphasis on consumer and interim financing products, which are primarily retained in the Company's loan portfolio. The loan originations were funded primarily by the increase in deposits and are consistent with the Company's efforts to build earning assets. For the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company originated approximately $80.9 million in loans, as compared to $55.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Of the $80.9 million in loans originated, $7.8 million were in commercial loans, $28.6 million were in consumer and interim financing loans and $44.5 million were in first mortgage loans. Deposits increased $16.8 million to $894.5 million at December 31, 1996 from $877.7 million at September 30, 1996. Approximately $10.0 million of the increase in deposits resulted from the acquisition of the Southgate office 13 14 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued by the Company's St. Francis Bank subsidiary. The Company has continued to offer new deposit products in an effort to attract new deposits and maintain current relationships with customers. Significant new deposit products offered which have contributed to the increase include a certificate of deposit with an interest rate tied to the prime rate and a money market demand account with an interest rate tied to a nationally recognized money market index. At December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $136.4 million in brokered certificates of deposit compared with $138.6 million at September 30, 1996. Although the Company has experienced modest growth in its deposit liabilities during the three months ended December 31, 1996, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue in the future, nor can there be any assurance the Company will retain the deposits it now has.* The level of deposit flows during any given period is heavily influenced by factors such as the general level of interest rates as well as alternative yields that investors may obtain on competing instruments, such as money market mutual funds. Advances and other borrowings increased by $3.5 million to $378.5 million at December 31, 1996 from $375.0 million at September 30, 1996. The Company primarily uses borrowed funds to fund purchases of mortgage-backed and related securities. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements for some of its variable rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, swapping the variable rate for a fixed rate (fixed-pay, variable-receive). Interest rate swaps outstanding at both December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996 totaled $55.0 million. The swaps are designed to offset the changing interest payments of some of the Company's borrowings. The current fixed-pay, variable-receive swaps will provide for a lower interest expense (or interest income) in a rising rate environment while adding to interest expense in a falling rate environment. During the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company recorded a net reduction of interest expense of $70,000 as a result of the Company's interest rate swap agreements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was $3.2 million compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in net income was due to a decrease in other operating income, which consisted primarily of a $1.1 million decrease in gains on the sale of mortgage-backed and related securities, coupled with a $1.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in income tax expenses and a $214,000 increase in net interest income. The following table shows the return on average assets and return on average equity ratios for each period: Three months ended December 31, 1996 1995 ------- ------ Return on average assets 0.88% 1.35% Return on average equity 10.01% 11.70% NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $409,000 or 4.8% to $8.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $8.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin was 2.67% for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to 3.02% for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The decline in the net interest margin is due to decreasing interest rate spreads that the Company has been experiencing in its asset and liability base and a changing asset mix which includes a higher level of non-interest earning assets. The Company increased its investment in affordable housing units to $39.6 million at December 31, 1996 compared with $24.1 million at December 31, 1995. This investment 14 15 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued strategy provides returns primarily through income tax credits but is not an interest earning asset and thus has the effect of decreasing the Company's net interest margin. Total interest income increased $3.1 million or 14.3% to $24.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $21.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of increases in interest income on loans and securities. The increase in interest on loans was due to increases in the average balance of loans to $636.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $524.1 million for the same period in the prior year, partially offset by decreases in the average yield on loans to 8.27% from 8.59% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the average yield is partially due to the Company selling substantially all new originations of long-term, fixed-rate single-family mortgages in the secondary market and retaining new originations of adjustable-rate single family mortgages. The increase in the average balance of loans is due primarily to the Company's recent efforts to emphasize consumer and home equity lending. The increase in interest income on debt and equity securities was due to an increase in the average balance of such securities to $68.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, from $54.9 million for the same period in the prior year. However, the average yield on such securities decreased to 5.85% for the three months ended December 31, 1996, from 5.96% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in interest income on mortgage-backed and related securities was due to an increase in the average balance of such securities to $579.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, from $507.4 million for the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on such securities to 6.77% from 7.06% for the same periods. The Company has been active during the past year repositioning its available for sale mortgage-backed and related securities portfolio by selling significant amounts of securities and replacing them with securities with more favorable maturity positions and characteristics which reflect the Company's overall asset/liability management strategies. Total interest expense increased $2.7 million or 20.5% to $15.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase in interest expense was the result of increases in the average balances of deposits and advances and other borrowings as well as a slight increase in the cost of deposits. The average balances of deposits were $858.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $673.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increases in the balances of deposits are due primarily to the Company's offering of additional deposit products, the use of brokers to sell certificates of deposit and the acquisition of the Southgate office by the Company's St. Francis Bank subsidiary. The average cost of deposits increased slightly to 4.97% for the three months ended December 31, 1996, from 4.96% for the same period in the prior year. Deposit rates paid by the Company reflected the general increase in market rates of interest as a result of the increased competition with other financial products offered in the marketplace. The average balance of advances and other borrowings increased to $370.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $335.9 million for the same period in the prior year, while the average cost of advances and other borrowings decreased to 5.49% for the three months ended December 31, 1996, from 5.67% for the same period in the prior year. The borrowings are primarily adjustable-rate FHLB advances which have repriced to reflect the slight decrease in rates levels associated with the respective borrowing rate indexes from the same period in the prior year. 15 16 ST.

FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The following table summarizes the allowance for loan losses for each period: Three months ended December 31, 1996 1995 ------ ------ (Dollars in thousands) Beginning balance $5,217 $4,076 Provision for loan losses 261 66 Recoveries 55 1 Charge-offs (473) (11) ------ ------ Ending balance $5,060 $4,132 ====== ====== Ratio of allowance for loan losses to gross loans receivable at the end of the period 0.75% 0.76% Ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non- performing loans at the end of the period 116.72% 1283.23% Ratio of net charge-offs to average gross loans (annualized) 0.26% 0.00% Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate as of December 31, 1996, based upon its current evaluation of loan delinquencies, non-performing loans, charge-off trends, economic conditions and other factors. The increase in the provision for loan losses in the current quarter reflects the continued growth in the Company's loan portfolio and also reflects the Company's increased mix of higher yielding and higher risk loans. Repossessed autos sold during the quarter resulted in charge-offs of $436,000. It is anticipated that as more loans default and the repossessed autos are sold, additional charge-offs will be incurred.* The Company believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for potential losses based on current conditions. OTHER OPERATING INCOME. Other operating income decreased by $800,000 to $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $3.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The following table shows the percentage of other operating income to average assets for each period: Three months ended December 31, 1996 1995 ------ ------ (Dollars in thousands) Other operating income $2,657 $3,459 Percent of average assets (annualized) .74% 1.15% The decrease was due primarily to gains on investments and mortgage-backed and related securities, partially offset by increases in gains on trading account activity and income from the Company's affordable housing subsidiary. Gains on investments and mortgage-backed and related securities decreased $1.1 million to $476,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to a gain of $1.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company does not consider gains on the sales of securities as a predictable source of earnings as such sales are based on the Company's ongoing review of the individual securities within the Company's available for sale portfolio whereby securities may be sold and replaced with ones that offer a better combination of interest income, 17 18 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued interest rate risk or credit risk than the security sold. Gain/(loss) on foreclosed properties decreased $146,000 to a loss of $14,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to a gain of $132,000 for the same period in the prior year. For the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company collected rental income on a foreclosed 104-unit apartment complex. Due to the subsequent sale of the property, no rental income was collected in the quarter ended December 31, 1996. Gains from the trading account were $385,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared with $128,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase in trading gains was the result of the sale of mortgage-backed securities which the Company had exchanged for its own mortgage loans ("loan swaps"). This method of selling the Company's salable mortgage production is required, under accounting rules, to be a "trading" activity, and as such, the resulting realized and unrealized gains are classified as trading income. The level of trading gains may fluctuate due to the volume of originations of single-family mortgages which in turn can fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. Sales of loans for cash as opposed to loan swaps are recorded as sales of mortgage loans in the income statement. Income from affordable housing (which represents primarily rental income) increased $117,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in the previous year. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million or 22.4% to $7.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $6.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The following table shows the percentage of general and administrative expenses to average assets for each period: Three months ended December 31, 1996 1995 ------ ------ (Dollars in thousands) General and administrative expenses $7,462 $6,097 Percent of average assets (annualized) 2.09% 2.02% Compensation expense increased $622,000 and furniture and equipment expenses increased $127,000. These increases were due primarily to increased levels of compensation and other costs associated with three new branches, a centralized call center and other increased activity connected with the Company's higher level of earning assets. Expenses related to the Company's affordable housing subsidiary also increased $121,000 as compared to the same period in the prior year due to the Company's increased investment in affordable housing units. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense decreased $1.0 million to $727,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was 18.72%, as compared to 30.2% for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in effective rates reflects the effect of the tax credits earned by the Company's affordable housing subsidiary. Income tax credits increased $315,000 to $674,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $359,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. 18 19 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued ASSET QUALITY Total non-performing assets were $4.5 million or 0.32% of total assets at December 31, 1996, compared to $4.0 million or 0.28% of total assets at September 30, 1996. Non-performing assets include loans which have been placed on nonaccrual status and property upon which a judgment of foreclosure has been entered but prior to the foreclosure sale, as well as property acquired as a result of foreclosure. Non-performing assets as of December 31, 1996 included $3.7 million of purchased auto loans which are past due or in default. These auto loans were purchased in 1995 and 1996 under a warehouse financing arrangement the Company had with the originator of the sub-prime automobile loans. The intent of the financing was to warehouse the loans until the originator could originate sufficient quantities to securitize the loans and sell to institutional investors. At that time, the loans would be sold back to the originator. The loans were serviced by an independent third party servicer and the loans had various levels of insurance and in addition were guaranteed as to principal and interest payments by the originator of the loans. The maximum amount that the Company had outstanding at any point in time was a balance of $14.6 million during February, 1996. The Company has not funded any loans since that time and as of December 31, 1996, the balance of the sub-prime auto loans was $4.4 million compared to $7.7 million at September 30, 1996. During the quarter $2.7 million of loans were sold back to the originator for face value plus a gain of $50,000 which was treated as a recovery. Actions have been taken to repossess the collateral on the delinquent loans and to enforce the guarantee of the originator of these loans; however, it is anticipated that some portion of these loans will ultimately result in a charge-off due to the possible inability of the originator to perform under its guaranty.* In addition, the level of insurance collected on policies paying for credit losses on the loans has beed lower than anticipated. The Company is still pursuing repossession and disposition of the autos and enforcement of the guarantee of the originator. Repossessed autos sold during the quarter resulted in charge-offs of $436,000. It is anticipated that as more loans default and the repossessed autos are sold, additional charge-offs will be incurred.* The Company believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for potential losses based on current conditions. Non-performing assets are summarized as follows: December 31, September 30, 1996 1996 ------ ------ (Dollars in thousands) Non-performing loans $4,335 $3,890 Foreclosed properties 127 80 ------ ------ Non-performing assets $4,462 $3,970 ====== ====== Non-performing loans to gross loans 0.64% 0.58% Non-performing assets to total assets 0.32% 0.28% There are no material loans about which management is aware that there exists serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the loan terms, except as disclosed above. 19 20 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Asset and liability management is an ongoing process of managing asset and liability maturities to control the interest rate risk of the Company. Management controls this risk through pricing of assets and liabilities and maintaining specific levels of maturities. In recent periods, management's strategy has been to (1) sell substantially all new originations of long-term, fixed-rate, single-family mortgage loans in the secondary market, (2) invest in various adjustable-rate and short-term mortgage-backed and related securities, (3) invest in adjustable-rate, single-family mortgage loans, and (4) increase its investments in consumer and commercial loans with generally shorter interest rate characteristics. Although management believes that its asset/liability management strategies have reduced the potential effects of changes in interest rates on its operations, increases in interest rates may adversely affect the Company's results of operations because interest-bearing liabilities will reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets. At December 31, 1996, the Company's estimated cumulative one-year gap between assets and liabilities was a negative 10.9% of total assets. A negative gap occurs when a greater dollar amount of interest-bearing liabilities are repricing or maturing than interest earning assets. The Company's three-year cumulative gap as of December 31, 1996 was a negative 9.1% of total assets. With a negative gap position, during periods of rising interest rates it is expected that the cost of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities will rise more quickly than the yield on its interest-earning assets, which will have a negative effect on its net interest income.* Although the opposite effect on net interest income would occur in periods of falling interest rates, the Company could experience substantial prepayments of its fixed-rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, which would result in the reinvestment of such proceeds at market rates which are lower than current rates.* 20 21 ST.

For fixed rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, annual prepayment rates ranging from 8% to 30%, based on the loan coupon rate, were used. (2) Balances have been reduced for undisbursed loan proceeds, unearned insurance premiums, deferred loan fees, purchased loan discounts and allowances for loan losses, which aggregated $38.9 million at December 31, 1996. (3) Although the Company's negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts generally are subject to immediate withdrawal, management considers a certain portion of such accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities based on the Company's retention of such deposits in changing interest rate environments. NOW accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts are assumed to be withdrawn at annual rates of 37%, 17% and 88%, respectively, of the declining balance of such accounts during the period shown. The withdrawal rates used are higher than the Company's historical rates but are considered by management to be more indicative of expected withdrawal rates in a rising interest rate environment. If all the Company's NOW accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts had been assumed to be repricing within one year, the one-year cumulative deficiency of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities would have been $261.3 million or 18.5% of total assets. (4) Adjustable and floating rate borrowings are included in the period in which their interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which they are due. The effect of interest rate swap agreements are included in the balances. The effect of the interest rate swap agreements are to decrease borrowings set to mature or reprice within three months by $55.0 million, increase borrowings set to mature or reprice in more than one year to three years by $55.0 million. 21 22 ST. FRANCIS CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis, continued Assumptions regarding the withdrawal and prepayment are based on historical experience, and management believes such assumptions reasonable, although the actual withdrawal and repayment of assets and liabilities may vary substantially.* Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the gap table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.* Also, the interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates.* Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the data in the table.* LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include investments in highly-liquid, short-term investments. The level of these assets is dependent on the Company's operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $25.0 million and $22.5 million as of December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996, respectively. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, including brokered certificates, borrowings from the FHLB and proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed and related securities. Although maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, prepayments on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and related securities are influenced significantly by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Additionally, the Bank is limited by the FHLB to borrowing up to 35% of its assets. At December 31, 1996, the Bank's available unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB was approximately $110.0 million.
