These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in its net assets available for plan benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997, and reportable transactions for the year then ended are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and are not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1997 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 1997 financial statements taken as a whole.

PAUL FEDERAL BANK FOR SAVINGS PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1997 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Investments are stated at current value. Investments traded on security exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the calendar year. Mutual funds are valued at their reported net asset value. The change between current value at the end of the year and current value at the beginning of the year or cost, if the investment was acquired during the year, is reflected as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in current value of investments. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Sales are recorded using an average cost method. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan's Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 2. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN St. Paul Federal Bank For Savings Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined-contribution profit-sharing plan for eligible employees of St. Paul Federal Bank For Savings (the Bank) and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and is intended to qualify as a profit-sharing and savings plan, as described in section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. During 1997 and prior years, employees were required to complete one year of service before they could participate in the Plan. As of January 1, 1998, any employee, as defined in the Plan, is eligible to participate immediately from the date of hire. An employee must file a written notice of election with the trustees together with an authorization for the participant 4 9 ST. PAUL FEDERAL BANK FOR SAVINGS PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED) deductions. A participant must deposit at least 2% of annual compensation and may deposit up to 15% of their annual compensation. Employees are permitted from time to time to change their level of contributions within this range. The Board of Directors of St. Paul Bancorp, Inc. (the Company), the holding company of the Bank, may authorize the Bank to subsidize the purchase of Company stock by the Plan. Such authorizations are restricted in that they must comply with applicable laws and regulations. In 1997, the Bank discontinued subsidizing the purchase of Company stock by the Plan. The Plan is comprised of eight investment fund choices: Vanguard Index Trust - 500 Portfolio: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and income from dividends by holding all of the 500 stocks that make up the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, a widely recognized benchmark of U.S. stock market performance. Vanguard Index Trust - Extended Market Portfolio: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by attempting to match the performance of the Wilshire 4500 Equity Index, an unmanaged index made up of mid- and small capitalization companies. Vanguard Money Market Reserves - Prime Portfolio: Seeks to provide high income and a stable share price of $1 by investing in short-term, high-quality money market instruments issued by financial institutions, nonfinancial corporations, the U.S. government, and federal agencies. Vanguard Bond Index Fund - Total Bond Market Portfolio: Seeks to provide a high level of interest income by attempting to match the performance of the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a widely recognized measure of the entire taxable U.S. bond market. Vanguard Fixed Income Fund - High Yield Corporate Portfolio: Seeks to provide a high level of interest income by investing in high-yield corporate bonds, or "junk" bonds. These bonds pay higher interest rates because they are considered to carry greater risk of default than bonds with higher credit ratings. 5 10 ST. PAUL FEDERAL BANK FOR SAVINGS PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED) Vanguard Wellington Fund: Seeks to provide income and long-term growth of capital, without undue risk to capital, by investing about 65% of its assets in stocks and the remaining 35% in bonds. Vanguard International Growth Portfolio: Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by investing in stocks of high-quality, seasoned companies based outside the United States. Stocks are selected from more than 15 countries. St. Paul Bancorp Common Stock: Provides employees of St. Paul Federal Bank with the opportunity to share in the potential growth and prosperity of the Bank by investing in St. Paul Bancorp, Inc. stock and reinvesting dividends. Participants are periodically permitted to direct the trustees as to respective percentages of participant account balances and contributions to be invested in each Investment Fund. The number of fund choices expanded in 1997, when the Plan changed trustees. Prior to January 31, 1997, contributions were deposited in a trust fund administered by First Trust Illinois, as trustee. On January 31, 1997, The Vanguard Group became the trustee and recordkeeper of the Plan. At that time, the Plan's investment options changed and new investment options were added to the Plan. Funds invested in the Montgomery Funds Small Capitalization Fund were transferred to the Vanguard Index Trust - Extended Market Portfolio and funds invested in the Federated Income Trust were transferred to the Vanguard Bond Index Fund - Total Bond Market Portfolio. The Vanguard Index Trust 500 Portfolio, Vanguard Money Market Reserves Income Prime Portfolio Fund, and St. Paul Bancorp, Inc. common stock continued to be investment options to the Plan participants. The Plan added the following investment options: Vanguard Fixed Income Securities Fund - High Yield Corporate Portfolio (a high yield corporate bond fund), Vanguard Wellington Fund (a balanced fund), and Vanguard International Growth Portfolio (an international equity fund). As provided for in the Plan documents, contributions have been deposited in a trust fund administered by The Vanguard Group, as trustee. All administrative expenses were paid by the Plan. 6 11 ST. PAUL FEDERAL BANK FOR SAVINGS PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED) The balance of a participant's account that represents contributions made by the participant is fully vested and can be withdrawn under certain conditions. As of January 31, 1997, participants are also allowed to borrow against assets held in their account from the Plan. Distributions from the Plan may be received upon termination of service in the form of a lump-sum distribution. The Plan also allows for withdrawals under certain hardship circumstances in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information. Further details of the Plan are contained in the Summary Plan Description. 3.

INCOME TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is, therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax laws. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status. 8 13 St. Paul Federal Bank For Savings Profit Sharing and Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 6.

PAUL FEDERAL BANK FOR SAVINGS PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 9. YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED) The Vanguard Group serves as the Plan's recordkeeper and trustee. Vanguard has developed a plan to modify its information technology to be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing systems. The project also includes determining whether third party service providers have reasonable plans in place to become year 2000 compliant. The Vanguard Group currently believes that the renovation of its major internal applications will be complete by the third quarter of 1998. It has also requested that its clients, business partners, and providers make the same commitment for all new releases of hardware and software as well as upgraded interfaces. Full-scale testing for year 2000 readiness will occur from the third quarter 1998 through December 1998 and readiness monitoring will continue through 1999. The Vanguard Group does not expect this project to have a significant effect on the Plan's operations. 14 19 SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES 20 ST.
