Report of Independent Auditors
The Trustees
St. Paul Federal Bank For Savings
Profit Sharing and Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of St. Paul Federal Bank For Savings Profit Sharing and Savings Plan as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998. 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, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for plan
benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, 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, 1998, 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 1998
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the 1998 financial statements taken as a whole.

PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998
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

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 500 Index Fund: 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 Prime Money Market Fund: 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 Extended Market Index Fund: 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 Total Bond Market Index Fund: 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 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

ST. PAUL FEDERAL BANK FOR SAVINGS
PROFIT SHARING AND SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)
Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund: 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.
Vanguard International Growth Fund: 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 Extended Market Index Fund and funds invested in the
Federated Income Trust were transferred to the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index
Fund. The Vanguard 500 Index Fund, Vanguard Prime Money Market 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
High-Yield Corporate Fund (a high yield corporate bond fund), Vanguard
Wellington Fund (a balanced fund), and Vanguard International Growth Fund (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.

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.
On July 1, 1998, the Company merged with Beverly Bancorporation, Inc. (Beverly),
the bank holding company of Beverly National Bank and Beverly Trust Company.
Effective July 1, 1998, the Beverly Employees' Profit Sharing Plan was
terminated. Participant accounts were valued as of August 31, 1998, and
distributions occurred in 1998. Participants in the Beverly plan who remained
employed by the Bank and its subsidiaries and affiliates had the option of
rolling over their account balances into the Plan. Effective August 31, 1998,
the assets of the Beverly plan were merged into the Company's Plan. The Bank and
its related entities became sponsoring employers of the Plan with respect to
employees satisfying the eligibility requirements of the Plan.
The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information. Further
details of the Plan are contained in the Summary Plan Description.

5. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated June 1, 1995, stating that the Plan is qualified under section 401 (a) of
the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt
from taxation. The Plan has been amended since the last determination letter.
Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and,
therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax
exempt.

9. YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED)
The Vanguard Group serves as the Plan's recordkeeper and trustee. Vanguard has
developed a plan to become Year 2000 compliant. The Year 2000 compliance issues
result from both certain computer programs and certain hardware recognizing only
the last two digits of the year instead of four digits. As a result,
transactions processed beginning in the Year 2000 may not be recognized by the
systems in the correct period. This issue could result in system failures and
miscalculations causing a disruption of operations, and among other things, the
inability to process transactions. In order to address the Year 2000 issue,
Vanguard established a Year 2000 project in 1996.
Based upon initial assessments, Vanguard determined that it will be required to
modify or replace portions of its software and hardware so that those systems
can properly process transactions beginning on January 1, 2000. Vanguard
currently believes that with these modifications and the replacement of certain
software and hardware components, the Year 2000 compliance issue will be
mitigated. However, if such modifications and upgrades do not succeed, or are
not made in a timely fashion, the Year 2000 compliance issue could have a
material impact on Vanguard's operations. Furthurmore, there can be no
assurances that Vanguard's assessment has not failed to uncover each possible
Year 2000 issue that relates to its business. Failure by Vanguard, and/or its
major vendors, third party providers, and other material service providers and
customers to adequately address their respective Year 2000 issues in a timely
manner (insofar as they relate to Vanguard's business) could have a material
adverse effect on Vanguard's operations. The amount of the potential liability,
if any, that relate to these risks, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Vanguard is currently formulating a contingency plan for certain critical
applications. These plans include examining all critical processes to assess the
effect of unexpected failure related to the Year 2000 date change. Vanguard is
developing alternative methods for service in the event of such failure and
intends to monitor these processes through the rollover of 1999 into 2000 and to
be well prepared to implement its alternative solutions quickly, if necessary.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Boards of Directors of St. Paul Bancorp, Inc., the Plan's sponsor, and
Charter One Financial, Inc., voted on May 17, 1999, to enter into a definitive
agreement to merge their operations through a stock-for-stock exchange. The
merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1999 and is subject to
approval by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Reserve Board, and
each company's shareholders. The Plan will continue in its present state through
December 31, 1999.
