MAF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and Nine Months Ended September
30, 2005 and 2004

(Unaudited)



(1) Basis of Presentation



The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MAF Bancorp, Inc. (Company), Mid America Bank, fsb including its subsidiaries
(Bank) and MAF Developments, Inc. (MAFD), for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



(2) Statement of Cash
Flows



For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods and interest-bearing deposits mature within one day to three months.



(3) Reclassifications



Certain reclassifications of 2004 amounts have been made to conform with the current period presentation.



(4) Earnings Per Share



Earnings per share is determined by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Stock options and restricted stock units are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent that they would have a dilutive effect if converted to common stock. Weighted average
shares used in calculating earnings per share are summarized below for the periods indicated:

(5) Stock Option Plans



We currently apply APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations in accounting for our stock option
plans. Accordingly, we recognize compensation cost on restricted stock unit awards, but have not historically recorded compensation expense for stock options granted under our plans. Had we elected to record compensation expense for stock option
grants based on the fair value at the grant dates for stock option awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the valuation methodology, the Companys net income and
earnings per share would have been equal to the pro-forma amounts indicated in the table below:

In accordance with SEC
rules that will require expensing of stock options at the beginning of the next fiscal year commencing after June 15, 2005, the Company anticipates adopting the fair value method of expense recognition consistent with SFAS No. 123R
Share-Based Payment, as of January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB 25 and requires that such activity be recognized as compensation cost in the income
statement based on the fair value of stock-based awards on the date of the grant.



(6) Commitments and Contingencies



At
September 30, 2005, we had outstanding commitments to originate and fund loans of $878.3 million, including $249.6 million of fixed-rate loans and $489.4 million of primarily hybrid adjustable-rate loans with initial fixed-rate terms of 3, 5 or
7 years and $139.3 million of home equity lines of credit. Prospective borrowers had locked the interest rate on $185.0 million of these commitments, of which $60.6 million were fixed-rate mortgage or equity loans, with rates ranging from 4.25% to
9.625%, and $124.4 million were adjustable rate loans with rates ranging from 4.138% to 9.644%. The interest rates on the remaining commitments of $693.3 million float at current market rates. Included in the outstanding commitments were $83.8
million of business banking loans. In addition, at September 30, 2005, we had outstanding forward commitments to sell $96.4 million of fixed-rate mortgage loans.



At September 30, 2005, we had outstanding standby letters of credit, excluding those related to our own land
development projects, totaling $69.9 million. Of this amount, $45.3 million is comprised of letters of credit to enhance industrial revenue bond financings of commercial real estate in the Banks market. Additionally, the Company had
outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $22.5 million related to our real estate development projects.



The Company could face potential loss equal to the contractual amounts of contingent credit-related financial instruments such as commitments to extend
credit, and letters of credit, if the loans are actually originated or the contracts are fully drawn upon, and the customers default and the value of any existing collateral becomes worthless.



At September 30, 2005, we had $13.6 million of credit risk related to
loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Bank Mortgage Partnership Finance Program (MPF), $37.5 million of loans sold with full recourse to other investors, and approximately $29.8 million of credit risk related to reinsurance obligations on
loans with private mortgage insurance in force. There are no expected losses and no recorded liabilities at September 30, 2005 for such exposure.

(7) Segment Information



The Company utilizes the management approach for segment reporting. This approach is based on the way that management of the Company organizes
lines of business for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Currently, the Company has two segments. The Banking segment includes our lending and deposit gathering operations as well as other financial services we offer to individual
and business customers. The business of our Real Estate Operations segment primarily involves land acquisitions, obtaining necessary zoning and regulatory approvals and improving raw land into developed residential lots for sale to builders. All
goodwill has been allocated to the Banking segment. Selected segment information is included in the table below:

(9) Post-Retirement Plans



The Bank sponsors a supplemental executive retirement
plan (SERP) for the purpose of providing certain retirement benefits to executive officers and other corporate officers approved by the Board of Directors. The Bank also sponsors a partially subsidized group long term medical plan for
the purpose of providing certain former employees post-retirement medical benefits. The benefits under the retiree benefit plan are not pre-funded and there are no plan assets. Benefits are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. The Banks long-term
medical plan was amended January 1, 2005, to eliminate the retiree subsidy for all non-retired participants effective January 1, 2006. Current retirees as well as 2005 retirees are grandfathered under the subsidy provisions.

(10) New Accounting Pronouncements



Other-Than-Temporary Impairment.In March 2004,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force on Issue 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (EITF
03-1). EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and measuring an impairment loss. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the
investment is less than its cost. Generally, an impairment is considered other-than-temporary unless: (a) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair
value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment; and (b) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. If impairment is determined to be
other-than-temporary, then an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the investments cost and its fair value. The guidance also includes accounting considerations subsequent to recognition of an other-than-temporary
impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments.



With the release of FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF Issue 03-1-1 on September 30, 2004, the FASB staff delayed the effective date of the
other-than-temporary impairment evaluation guidance of EITF 03-1 (which was initially to be applied prospectively to all current and future investments in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004). FSP EITF 03-1-1
delays the effective date of the measurement and recognition guidance until certain implementation issues are addressed and a final FSP providing implementation guidance is issued. The disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 remain in effect and were
presented in Notes 3 and 4 of the 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The amount of any other-than-temporary impairment that may need to be recognized in the future will be dependent on market conditions, the occurrence of certain events or changes in
circumstances relative to an investee, the final guidance issued by the FASB, and the Companys intent and ability to hold the impaired investments at the time of the valuation.



In June 2005, the FASB decided not to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment, but
directed the staff to issue proposed FSP EITF 03-1-a, Implementation Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1 as final. The final FSP (retitled FSP FAS 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments) clarifies that impairment loss should be recognized no later than when the impairment is deemed other than temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. The statement is
effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods beginning after September 15, 2005. The Company does not expect this implementation to have a material effect on the results of the Company.

Stock Based Compensation.In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, supersedes APB 25 and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123R
requires that stock option awards, as well as other equity-based compensation, be recognized as compensation expense in the income statement based on their fair values determined at the date of the grant. Under SEC guidance, the applicable effective
date of SFAS No. 123R is the beginning of the next fiscal year after June 15, 2005. The Company anticipates adopting the fair value method of expense recognition as of January 1, 2006, in accordance with SFAS No. 123R,
Share-Based Payment, which is effective as of the beginning of next fiscal year after June 15, 2005. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt the recognition requirements using either a modified prospective method
or a modified retrospective method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements based on the time of vesting beginning with the effective date, under the requirements of
SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date and under the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R that vest after the effective date. Under the
modified retrospective method, the requirements are the same as under the modified prospective method, but this method also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures
made in accordance with SFAS No. 123.



The Company
currently uses the intrinsic value method as permitted by APB 25 to account for its share-based payments to employees, and as such, generally recognizes no compensation expense for employee stock options. The Company currently utilizes the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options granted as presented in Note 5 above. While SFAS No. 123R permits entities to continue to use such a valuation model, the standard also permits the use of a
lattice model. The Company expects to evaluate possible alternative models, including the underlying valuation assumptions, and has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value of stock options upon the adoption
of SFAS No. 123R nor the impact of stock option expensing on the design of the Companys equity compensation plans. See Note 5 for the pro forma impact in 2005 and 2004.



Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections, which provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a
change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. The reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed by
this Statement. This statement is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information



This report, in Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere,
contains, and other periodic reports and press releases of the Company may contain, forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which involve significant risks and
uncertainties. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for
purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. These forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words
believe, expect, intend, anticipate, estimate, project, plan, or similar expressions. The Companys ability to predict results or the actual effect of future
plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ from those predicted. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the future.



Factors which could have a material adverse effect on operations and could
affect managements outlook or future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, higher than expected overhead, infrastructure and compliance costs, unanticipated changes in interest rates or further
flattening of the yield curve, less than anticipated balance sheet growth, demand for loan products, unanticipated changes in secondary mortgage market conditions, deposit flows, competition, adverse federal or state legislative or regulatory
developments, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve Board, deteriorating economic conditions which could result in increased delinquencies in the Companys loan
portfolio, the quality or composition of the Companys loan or investment portfolios, demand for financial services and residential real estate in the Companys market area, delays in real estate development projects, difficulties or
delays related to the pending acquisition of EFC Bancorp (EFC), the possible short-term dilutive effect of the EFC acquisition or other potential acquisitions, if any, and changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.



General



MAF Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in 1989, as the holding company for Mid America Bank, fsb (Bank), our banking subsidiary. The Bank, which was organized as a
mutual savings and loan association and has been operating in the Chicago area since 1922, formed the holding company in connection with its conversion from a mutual to stock savings institution. Today, our bank is one of the largest
community-oriented financial institutions headquartered in Chicago. Our primary business focus is providing financial services to retail and business banking customers in the Chicago and Milwaukee metropolitan areas. Our strategy is to continue to
grow our banking franchise through organic growth, selective acquisition and branch expansion. We also engage in residential real estate land development through our subsidiary, MAF Developments, Inc. (MAFD), a business we started at the
Bank in 1974.



We currently operate a total of 73 branches in
Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin, 49 branches located in residential neighborhoods in the city of Chicago and throughout suburban communities in the Chicago metropolitan area, and 24 branches in the Milwaukee area that we operate under the name
of St. Francis Bank, a division of Mid America Bank, fsb. Our newest branch was opened in June 2005 in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. We are scheduled to open two de novo branches in the fourth quarter of 2005 in Downers Grove, Illinois and in the Ukranian
Village neighborhood of Chicago. Since September 30, 2004, we added three Illinois branches through our acquisition of Chesterfield Financial Corp. in November 2004 and opened two new branches in suburban Chicago communities in September and
November of 2004.



On June 30, 2005, the Company announced
that it had reached an agreement to acquire EFC Bancorp, Inc. in a 60% stock and 40% cash transaction valued at approximately $177.5 million. As previously disclosed, the Company expects the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2006 pending
regulatory approval and approval by EFC stockholders. At June 30, 2005, EFC had assets of $1.0 billion, deposits of $713 million, stockholders equity of $89 million with offices in Kane, McHenry and Cook Counties, Illinois. Based on the
June 30, 2005 FDIC deposit data, the transaction is expected to move us to #8 in deposit market share in the Chicago MSA and from #15 to #3 in Kane County, where municipal data estimates population growth to exceed 17% over the next five years.
We do not expect the transaction to materially impact 2006 earnings per share results. The data processing systems conversion is currently planned for February 2006 and we expect the integration of EFS Bank into the Bank to be substantially complete
by the end of the first quarter.

We expect to continue to evaluate potential acquisition opportunities that could enhance franchise value
and may periodically be presented with opportunities to acquire other institutions, branches or deposits in the Chicago or Milwaukee metropolitan areas or which allow the Company to expand outside its current primary market areas, as we have done in
recent years. Management intends to review acquisition opportunities across a variety of parameters, including the potential impact on its financial condition as well as its financial performance in the future. It is anticipated that future
acquisitions, if any, will likely be valued at a premium to book value, and generally at a premium to current market value. As such, management anticipates that acquisitions made by the Company could involve some short-term book value per share
dilution and may involve earnings per share dilution depending on the Companys timing and success in integrating the operations of businesses acquired and the level of cost savings and revenue enhancements that may be achieved.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



The Companys financial condition and results of operations included
here are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and are more fully described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements found in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2004 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and
expense, as well as related disclosures of contingencies. Managements judgment is based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, market trends, and other information available. We believe that of significant accounting policies,
the following involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:



Allowance for loan losses. We maintain an allowance for loan losses to cover managements estimate of probable losses inherent in the Banks loan portfolio. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses and determining
the amount of any provision for loan losses, management considers: (1) historical loss experience and the change in the mix of the overall portfolio composition over the last five years, (2) specific allocations based upon probable losses
identified during the review of the portfolio, (3) delinquency in the portfolio and the composition of non-performing loans, including the percent of non-performing loans with supplemental mortgage insurance, and (4) subjective factors,
including local and general economic business factors and trends, portfolio concentrations and changes in the size and/or general terms of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses that is
recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.



Valuation of mortgage servicing rights.The Bank capitalizes the estimated value of mortgage servicing rights upon the sale of loans. The Banks estimated value takes into consideration contractually known amounts,
such as loan balance, term, contract rate, and whether the customer escrows funds with the Bank for the payment of taxes and insurance. Estimated value is also affected by assumptions relating to loan prepayment speeds, earnings on escrow funds, as
well as the discount rate used to present value the estimated future cash flow stream. Subsequent to the establishment of this asset, management reviews the fair value of mortgage servicing rights on a quarterly basis using current estimates of
prepayment speed, cash flow and discount rates. Changes in these estimates impact fair value and could require the Bank to record a valuation allowance or recovery of any previously established valuation allowance. A recovery of $125,000 was
recorded in the first nine months of 2005 compared to a $1.8 million recovery in the prior year period. Should managements estimates of future prepayment speeds on the underlying loans supporting the mortgage servicing rights prove to be
incorrect, additional valuation allowances could occur, or conversely, valuation allowances could be recovered if changing estimates increase the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.



Valuation of goodwill and intangible assets.In accounting for acquisitions of other companies, we
generally record as assets on our financial statements both goodwill and identifiable intangible assets such as core deposit intangibles. The amounts we record are based on our estimates of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. The
valuation techniques we use to determine the carrying value of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions and the estimated lives of the identifiable intangible assets involve a number of subjective judgments such as
estimates for discount rates, projected future cash flows and an estimate of useful lives, all of which are susceptible to change based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. Core deposit and other identifiable intangible assets are
amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the remaining value we are reasonably likely to realize.
Similarly, on an annual basis we evaluate whether the carrying value of our goodwill has become impaired, in which case we reduce its carrying value through a charge to our earnings. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the segment reporting
level, and all of our goodwill is recorded in our banking segment.

While we believe the assumptions and estimates we used are reasonable, using different assumptions or
estimates for these valuations would have resulted in our recording different amounts of goodwill and core deposit intangibles and related amortization expense. For example, if we had assumed faster prepayment speeds of mortgage loans we acquired in
acquisitions, the value of those mortgage loans we acquired would have been less and the goodwill we recorded would have been greater. Similarly, if we had assumed greater deposit run off rates, we may have recorded lower core deposit intangibles,
but might have shortened our estimate of the average life of this intangible asset and may have increased our amortization expense in 2004 or 2005. Any changes in the assumptions and estimates which we use in future periods to determine the carrying
value of our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, which adversely affect their value or shortens estimated lives, would adversely affect our results of operations. At September 30, 2005, our goodwill was $304.4 million and our
identifiable intangible assets (core deposits) amounted to $10.9 million. We recorded $2.2 million of amortization of core deposit intangibles during both the first nine months of 2005 and the prior year period. There was no goodwill impairment
recorded in 2005 or 2004.



Real estate held for
development.Profits from lot sales in the Companys real estate developments are based on cash received less the estimated cost of sales per lot in the development, including capitalized interest and an estimate of future costs
to be incurred. This is especially true at the outset of a project, where few actual costs have been incurred in the project as a whole. The estimate of total project costs is reviewed on a quarterly basis by project management. Estimates are
subject to change for various reasons, including the duration of the project, changes in rules or requirements of the communities where the projects reside, soil and weather conditions, increased project budgets, as well as the general level of
inflation. The changes in lot sale profits on past sales that result from changes in estimated future costs are recognized in the period of that change as either a charge or an addition to income from real estate operations. Additionally, management
periodically evaluates the net realizable value from each project by considering other factors, such as pace of lot absorption, sources of funding and timing of disbursements. A charge to current earnings would occur if this evaluation indicated a
projects net realizable value did not exceed its recorded cost. Currently, the assessment of net realizable value of the land development project the Company is engaged in exceeds the recorded cost of the project.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin



Net interest income increased 2.42% to $66.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $64.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2005
increased $708 million, or 8.2% compared to the third quarter of 2004, primarily in loan and mortgage-backed securities, while our net interest margin declined to 2.84% for the quarter compared to 3.00% in the previous year quarter. Deposits and
other borrowings repriced faster than asset yields as short-term interest rates rose. We expect that a continued flat yield curve as well as the continued competition for deposits in our markets will continue to reduce the Companys interest
rate spread and net interest margin in the fourth quarter.



Our
average yield on interest-earning assets increased 33 basis points to 5.23% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 4.90% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. This increase was due primarily to an increase in the yield
on loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities. Our yield on loans receivable increased 42 basis points to 5.48% for the third quarter of 2005 from 5.06% for the third quarter of 2004, primarily as a result of an increase in the yield on our
equity line of credit portfolio, and other loans tied to the prime rate or 3-month LIBOR. The yield on mortgage-backed securities also benefited from rising interest rates, increasing 25 basis points to 4.24% for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 from 3.99% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 as securities purchased over the past year have been at yields higher than our portfolio, due to the general rise in shorter-term interest rates. The yield on
investment securities increased 45 basis points to 4.15% for the third quarter of 2005 compared to 3.70% for the third quarter of 2004, and was driven primarily by new purchase activity, while being impacted by the dividend rate on FHLB of Chicago
(FHLBC) stock. The dividend rate on FHLBC stock for the current quarter was 5.0% compared to 6.0% in the prior year quarter. Subsequent to September 30, 2005, the FHLBC announced the fourth quarter 2005 dividend on FHLBC stock at an
annualized rate of 3.75%. This 1.25% reduction in the dividend rate will negatively impact fourth quarter net interest income by approximately $580,000.



Our average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 52 basis points to 2.62% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from 2.10% for the
three months ended September 30, 2004, a majority of which is tied to a 57 basis point increase in our cost of deposits to 2.01%. Our deposit costs have increased primarily due to increases in the cost of money market accounts and certificates
of deposits as well as a shift in the mix of deposits. Compared to September 30, 2004, at September 30, 2005, our core deposits had decreased by $150 million while certificates of deposit increased by $175 million. Certificates of deposit
accounts are repricing at substantially higher rates due to the rise in short term interest rates since mid-2004. Our cost of borrowed funds increased 37 basis points to 3.81% for the third quarter of 2005 from 3.44% for the third quarter of 2004
primarily due to an increased amount of floating rate borrowings repricing higher and the issuance of $65 million of floating rate trust preferred securities that are indexed at spreads over 3-month LIBOR of 140-175 basis points.



Net interest income increased $7.0 million or 3.6% to $200.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $193.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is due to a 7.4% increase in average earning assets, partially offset by a net decrease in our spread and net interest
margin with each compressing during the 2005 nine-month period to 2.73% and 2.94% from 2.85% and 3.05% for the prior year period.



Average interest-earning assets grew $622 million or 7.4% during the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, with growth
occurring in the balance of loans receivable, investments and mortgage-backed securities, which combined increased $793 million, or 9.9%. This growth was offset by a $150 million decrease in the average balance of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Chicago due to the Companys redemption program. Average loans receivable balances increased by $345.7 million during the nine month period, including $140 million from the Chesterfield acquisition. Compared to the first nine months of 2004,
the average balance of interest-bearing deposits rose by $368 million, or 7.1%, to $5.55 billion, including $270 million of deposits acquired in the Chesterfield acquisition in November 2004.

Provision for Loan Losses



The Bank recorded a $480,000 provision for loan losses
during the third quarter of 2005 compared to $350,000 in the prior year third quarter. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $279,000 compared to $135,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The

Non-interest income increased $274,000, or 1.4% to $19.8 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $19.5 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Included in the current period is additional income on bank-owned life insurance investments, including income of $648,000 relating to tax-free death benefits and a $355,000 gain on the disposition of
various assets and increased fee income, offset by lower income from real estate operations of $1.7 million. Non-interest income totaled $55.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 or 5.8% lower than the $59.0 million recorded
for the previous year period. This decrease is primarily due to $5.1 million of less income from real estate and a previous year recovery of mortgage servicing rights for $1.8 million, offset by a $2.4 million increase in gain on the sale of loans.

Our capitalized
mortgage servicing rights as a percentage of loans serviced for others at September 30, 2005 were 69 basis points and at September 30, 2004 were 74 basis points.



Total 1-4 family mortgage loan volume for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased 18.2% compared to the
previous years three month period due to increased refinance activity and a continued strong home purchase market. The Company has expanded its mortgage offerings to include various non-conforming and sub-prime mortgage products due to the
increased demand for these products in the overall mortgage market. We intend to sell newly originated sub-prime loans into the secondary market rather than retain in portfolio. The Company entered into an agreement to sell servicing rights on
approximately $750 million of 1-4 family mortgage loans during the fourth quarter. The Company expects to close on the sale and transfer the servicing on these loans in the fourth quarter.

The Company reported a
5.6% advance in deposit account service charges for the current year quarter compared to the previous year quarter, primarily reflecting increases in debit card usage during the current quarter as well as higher fees implemented during the quarter.
Checking account growth has been challenging in recent periods due to intense competition in the Companys markets.

The Company had no
real estate development income during the current quarter as delays in receiving final engineering approvals for the first two units of the Springbank development in Plainfield, Illinois pushed back closings to the fourth quarter. These approvals
were received in late September and the final plats have been recorded. Because of the delays, along with higher than expected development costs, sales and profits for the year are expected to be significantly lower than what had been expected at
the beginning of the year.

The gain on investment
securities during 2005 primarily resulted from the dissolution of stock in a regional ATM network in the first and second quarters and the sales of two equity investments in the second quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the
gain on sale of investment securities included net gains of $2.7 million on the sale of three investment securities on which other-than-temporary impairment writedowns had been taken in prior years.



Non-Interest Expense



The increase in non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2004 primarily reflects growth in banking operations. Also contributing to the increased expenses are the added cost of management personnel and infrastructure needed to facilitate growth over the past year and to address
the increased compliance burden under new regulations. The following table indicates the composition of non-interest expense for the three- and nine-month periods indicated.

2005 compared to the prior year period reflecting higher costs related to consulting fees for various process improvements including an automated work flow system for the mortgage loan division, as well as ongoing Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money
laundering and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.



Our telephone
expense decreased year over year due to the consolidation and renegotiation of our contract. Decreases were also accomplished in stationery and supplies expenses for 2005 compared to the prior year periods by various efficiency and cost-reduction
initiatives.



Income Tax Expense



Income tax expense totaled $13.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, equal to an effective income tax rate of 33.4%, compared to $12.7 million or an effective income tax rate of 33.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Income tax expense totaled $39.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, or an effective tax rate of 34.4% compared to $37.9 million or an effective tax rate of 33.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The effective income tax rate was higher in the current nine-month
period compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 due to the resolution of certain prior years income tax matters in the 2004 period, partially offset by increased nontaxable earnings from bank-owned life insurance investments
in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.



Changes in Financial
Condition



Total assets of the Company were $10.26 billion
at September 30, 2005, an increase of $577.7 million, or 6.0% from $9.68 billion at December 31, 2004. This increase has been driven by an increase in mortgage-backed securities and loans receivable, partially offset by additional
redemptions of FHLBC stock. Loans receivable growth was dampened by the sale of $127.6 million of equity line of credit balances during the current nine month period and $37.2 million of 15-year fixed-rate loans that were swapped into
mortgage-backed securities classified as held to maturity. Asset growth was primarily funded with an increase in wholesale borrowings, and to a lesser extent, deposits.

As previously reported, the Company continued to reduce its voluntary investment in FHLBC stock during the year to address the concentration resulting
from its 2003 acquisitions. Of our $163.9 million investment in FHLBC stock, $46.0 million was excess voluntary stock. On October 18, 2005, the FHLBC announced that its Board of Directors decided to discontinue redemptions of excess or voluntary
capital stock until they complete their process of registering their equity securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and until a revised retained earnings and dividend policy has been approved by the Federal Housing Finance Board
(FHFB), which policy and updated business plan strategies are expected to be filed with the FHFB by December 15, 2005. In addition, the FHLBC entered into an amendment to its written agreement with the FHFB to reduce its minimum capital
ratio from 5.1% to 4.5%, to require the FHLBC to maintain minimum capital stock of $3.964 billion, the balance as of October 18, 2005, and to provide that no stock will be redeemed if the redemption would cause the FHLBC to fail to meet these
capital requirements. The Company intends to continue monitoring the situation and may resume redemptions of excess stock in the future when the FHLBC resumes allowing redemptions.

Included in our
certificates of deposit balances at September 30, 2005 are $155.6 million of certificates of deposit at an average rate of 2.72% with original maturities of 13 to 23 months which contain a one-time option for the owner to increase the interest
rate to current rates. The shift in mix of deposits toward certificates of deposits largely reflects the Banks pricing decisions intended to extend the term of deposits in a rising rate environment.

Included in FHLBC
advances at September 30, 2005 are $315.0 million of fixed-rate advances with original scheduled maturities of 5 to 10 years, which mature beyond 2005 and are putable at the discretion of the FHLBC as follows: $240.0 million at 4.77% in 2005,
$75.0 million at 2.94% in 2006. The average term to maturity on these advances is 40 months, while the average term to put is four months. At inception, the Bank received a lower interest rate on such advances than on similar termed non-putable
advances, in return for granting the FHLBC the option to put the advances prior to their final maturity. If put, the FHLBC will provide replacement funding, should the Bank want or need to refinance the borrowing, at the then prevailing market rate
of interest for the remaining term to maturity of

the advances, subject to standard terms and conditions. Of the FHLBC advances we had outstanding at September 30,
2005, we currently expect $50.0 million (with an average rate of 2.52%) to be put back to us during the remainder of 2005 and $75 million (with an average rate of 2.94%) to be put back to us during 2006.



At September 30, 2005, reverse repurchase agreements totaled $450.0
million and are floating rate with remaining terms to maturity ranging from six months to five years. The interest rate on $250.0 million of these agreements is tied to the prime rate and ranges from prime minus 275 basis points to prime minus 280
basis points. The remaining $200.0 million have interest rates ranging from three-month LIBOR minus 50 basis points to three-month LIBOR minus 75 basis points. The LIBOR-based repurchase agreements are putable at the discretion of the lender
quarterly at various dates in 2006 and 2007.



Junior Subordinated
Debentures.We formed a special purpose finance subsidiary which issued $35 million in trust preferred securities on August 4, 2005. The trust preferred securities mature in 30 years and are callable at par in five years at the
Companys option. The Company will pay interest on the indebtedness at 3 month LIBOR plus 1.40%, resetting quarterly. The proceeds were used to repay amounts drawn on the Companys existing $55 million line of credit, which remains
available for general corporate purposes. During 2005, the Company has issued $65 million in trust preferred securities.



Stockholders Equity. Stockholders equity increased by $15.7 million in the past three months primarily from net income of $27.0 million
partially offset by cash dividends of $7.4 million and a $5.9 million decrease in the fair value of the Companys available for sale securities portfolio. The Company did not repurchase any shares of Company stock during the quarter under the
Companys repurchase program. At September 30, 2005, 1,500 shares remained authorized for repurchase under the Companys 1.2 million shares repurchase program announced in January 2005.



Asset Quality



Non-Performing Assets. The Bank considers loans to be non-performing when they are more than 90 days
delinquent. The Bank ceases the accrual of interest when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Generally, when a loan is 91
days or more past due, in the process of foreclosure, or in bankruptcy, or when collectibility is otherwise in doubt, the full amount of previously accrued but unpaid interest on the loan is deducted from interest income. Income is subsequently
recorded to the extent cash payments are received, or at the time when the loan is brought current in accordance with its original terms. This policy is applied consistently for all types of loans in the Banks loan portfolio. The Bank
considers the classification of investment securities as non-performing assets, should they show signs of deteriorating quality.



The following table sets forth information regarding the Banks non-performing assets at the dates shown. Over the periods shown, all non-performing
loans were on non-accrual status.

The $4.4 million
increase in non-performing equity lines during the third quarter of 2005 includes $3.0 million relating to loans to one individual borrower that the Bank believes are adequately secured by the two related residential properties. In our loan
portfolio, the equity lines of credit have shown growth of $124.2 million or 11% since September 2004, accounting for most of the increase in our non-performing totals, as this portfolio continues to grow in size.



For the quarter ended September 30, 2005, interest on non-accrual loans
that would have been recorded as income, had they been performing according to their original terms, amounted to $550,000, compared to $493,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
interest on non-accrual loans that would have been recorded as income, had they been performing according to their original terms, amounted to $1.3 million compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Classified Assets.The federal regulators have adopted a classification system for problem assets of insured institutions. Under this classification system, problem assets of insured institutions are classified as substandard, doubtful or
loss. In addition, a special mention category consists of assets, which currently do not expose the Company to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification, but do possess deficiencies or other characteristics
deserving managements close attention.



In connection
with the filing of its periodic reports with the OTS, the Bank regularly reviews problem assets in its portfolio to determine whether any loans or investments require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. At September 30,
2005 and December 31, 2004, all of the Banks non-performing loans were classified as substandard or doubtful. In addition, at September 30, 2005, the Bank had classified as substandard for regulatory purposes $3.7 million of multi-family
loans and $16.6 million of commercial loans that were still accruing interest. The Bank also had $300,000 of commercial loans classified as doubtful that were still accruing interest. Special mention loans at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004 totaled $17.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively.

The allowance for loan
losses to total loans was .51% at September 30, 2005 compared to .53% at December 31, 2004. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 102.70% at September 30, 2005, compared to 115.18% at December 31, 2004. As
shown in the table above, 93% of non-performing loans were secured by 1-4 family real estate at September 30, 2005. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30, 2005.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



We manage liquidity and capital resources to provide funds necessary for
holding company debt service on borrowings, cash dividends to stockholders, funding for our real estate development operation, and planned repurchases of common stock. Our major sources of funds are dividends from the Bank, access to the capital
markets which are subject to regulatory limitations, and to a lesser extent, cash flow from our real estate development operation. Additionally, we maintain a $55 million unsecured line of credit with a Chicago-based commercial bank under which we
had $55 million available at September 30, 2005. The maturity of the line has been extended to January 31, 2006, and the Company intends to increase this facility to $60 million in connection with financing arrangements for the EFC
transaction.



During the current three month period, we
declared common stock dividends of $.23 per share, for a total of $7.4 million. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, we repurchased 1.3 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $42.33 for a total of $56.8
million, and we declared common stock dividends of $.69 per share, for a total of $22.2 million.

The principal sources of funds at the Bank are deposits, advances from the FHLBC and other borrowings,
principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities amortization and maturing investment securities are a relatively
predictable source of funds, deposit flows as well as loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the general level of interest rates and competition. Decisions to sell investment securities and
other assets are also generally market driven, although we may at times sell these assets for asset/liability management purposes or as a source of liquidity.



We utilize particular sources of funds at the Bank based on comparative costs and availability. We generally manage the pricing of deposits to maintain
a steady to increasing deposit portfolio in the aggregate, but from time to time we may decide not to pay rates on deposits as high as competition. When necessary, we supplement our deposit funding with longer term and/or other alternative sources
of funds such as FHLBC advances and other borrowings. We currently expect that due to increased competition for deposits in our markets, we may increasingly rely on higher cost wholesale borrowings.



Outstanding loan commitments totaled $878.3 million at September 30,
2005, compared to $650.4 million at December 31, 2004. At September 30, 2005 we believe we have sufficient cash to fund our outstanding commitments or we will be able to obtain the necessary funds from outside sources to meet our cash
requirements under these commitments.

of potential liability for credit losses at September 30, 2005 that we have retained relating to an aggregate $956.9 million of one- to four-family loans. We have either sold the loans to investors with recourse or have assumed a layer of
credit risk through private mortgage insurance in force in the Banks captive reinsurance subsidiary and have a contingent liability under these provisions of $67.4 million. Our loss experience to date under such recourse provisions has been
immaterial.

Asset/Liability Management



As part of our normal operations, we are subject to interest-rate risk on
the interest-sensitive assets we invest in and the interest-sensitive liabilities we borrow. Management reviews our exposure to interest rate risk quarterly with our asset/liability management committee (ALCO) of the Board of Directors
of the Company. The ALCO monitors the rate and sensitivity repricing characteristics of the individual asset and liability portfolios the Bank maintains and oversees risk management strategies.



We use interest rate sensitivity gap analysis to monitor the relationship of
maturing or repricing interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing
or repricing within a specific period of time and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same period of time, and is usually analyzed at a period of one year. Generally, a positive gap, where more
interest-earning assets are repricing or maturing than interest-bearing liabilities, would tend to result in a reduction in net interest income in a period of falling interest rates. Conversely, during a period of rising interest rates, a positive
gap would likely result in an improvement in net interest income. Our goal is to maintain a cumulative one-year gap within the range of (15)% to 15%. The gap ratio fluctuates as a result of market conditions and our decisions based on the
expectation of future interest rate trends, as well as the impact of the interest rate risk position of acquired institutions. Our asset/liability management strategy emphasizes the origination of one- to four-family adjustable-rate and hybrid ARM
loans as well as other loans that have shorter terms to maturity or reprice more frequently than fixed-rate mortgage loans in our portfolio. Historically, we have generally sold our conforming long-term fixed-rate loan originations in the secondary
market in order to improve and maintain our interest rate sensitivity levels.

The Bank, except as noted below, has not used derivative financial instruments such as interest rate
swaps, caps, floors, options or similar financial instruments to manage its interest rate risk. However, in conjunction with its origination and sale strategy discussed above, management does hedge the Banks exposure to interest rate risk
primarily by committing to sell fixed-rate mortgage loans for future delivery. Under these commitments, the Bank agrees to sell fixed-rate mortgage loans at a specified price and at a specified future date. The sale of fixed-rate mortgage loans for
future delivery has enabled the Bank to continue to originate new mortgage loans, and to generate gains on sale of these loans as well as loan servicing fee income, while maintaining its gap ratio within the parameters discussed above. Most of these
forward sale commitments are conducted with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the MPF with respect to loans that conform to the requirements of these government agencies. The forward commitment of mortgage loans presents a risk to the Bank if the Bank is
not able to deliver the mortgage loans by the commitment expiration date. If this should occur, the Bank would be required to pay a fee to the buyer. The Bank attempts to mitigate this risk by charging potential retail borrowers a 1% fee to fix the
interest rate. The Bank also estimates a percentage of fallout when determining the amount of forward commitments to enter into.



The table on the next page sets forth the scheduled repricing or maturity of the Banks assets and liabilities at September 30, 2005 and
managements expectation of prepayment using assumptions regarding prepayment percentages on loans and mortgage-backed securities based on its current experience in these portfolios. The table uses the withdrawal assumptions published by the
OTS with respect to interest-bearing and non-interest bearing checking and passbook accounts, which are 17.0%, 17.0%, 17.0%, 16.0%, and 33.0%, respectively, although the Bank believes its deposit decay rates are lower based on a historical study of
its core deposit experience. Fixed rate investment securities and borrowings that contain call or put provisions are generally shown in the category relating to their respective final maturities or expected put or call option being exercised.
However, $26.8 million of investments with final maturities averaging 30 months, but callable in six months or less are categorized in the six months or less category, and $40.4 million of investment securities with final maturities averaging 36
months, but callable in six months to one year are categorized in the six-months to one-year category in anticipation of their calls. At September 30, 2005, $50.0 million of putable FHLBC advances with maturities of 3 to 5 years are categorized
in the less than six months category because the put option is expected to be exercised, and of $75.0 million of putable advances with maturities greater than 5 years, $50.0 million was classified in six to twelve months and $25.0 million was
classified in one to three years because the put options are expected to be exercised.



The effect of these assumptions is to quantify the dollar amount of items that are interest-sensitive and may be repriced within each of the periods specified. Certain shortcomings are inherent in using gap analysis
to quantify exposure to interest rate risk. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricings in the table, they may react differently to actual changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on
certain 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. This is especially true in circumstances where management has a certain
amount of control over interest rates, such as the pricing of deposits. Additionally, certain assets such as hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage loans have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the
asset. Finally, as interest rates change, actual loan prepayment rates may differ significantly from those rates assumed by management for presentation purposes in the table.



Though management believes that its asset/liability management strategies help to mitigate the potential negative effects of
changes in interest rates on the Banks operations, a decrease in long term interest rates in the near term may adversely affect the Banks operations because prepayments on higher-yielding mortgage-related assets would likely accelerate
and would be reinvested at lower rates. Conversely, increases in long-term interest rates could benefit the Banks operation primarily due to a slowing of prepayments on higher yielding loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities and rates
adjusting upward while new loans would be originated at higher rates, although the higher rates may also dampen the level of new originations. An increase in short-term interest rates would negatively impact the Banks operations as the Bank
has more interest-bearing liabilities than interest-earning assets repricing in the short-term.

Since December 31, 2004, our cumulative one-year gap has extended to
(6.43)% from (3.98)%. The sale of $127.6 million of floating rate equity lines of credit, redemption of $125.6 million of stock in FHLBC, as well as an increase in floating rate reverse repurchase agreements and trust preferred securities during the
first nine months directly impacted the negative gap position. Additionally, our gap became more negative due to an increase in interest rates, slowing the rate of prepayment in our one- to four-family loan portfolio. This impact is limited by the
high concentration of short-term hybrid adjustable rate loans in our portfolio.



Regulatory Capital. The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements under the rules of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and
possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators, which could have a material impact on the Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain
capital amounts in excess of specified minimum ratios based on quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.



Quantitative measures established by the OTS to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (as set forth in the table on the next page) of three capital requirements: a tangible capital (as defined in the regulations) to adjusted total assets ratio, a core capital (as defined) to
adjusted total assets ratio, and a risk-based capital (as defined) to total risk-weighted assets ratio. At September 30, 2005, the Bank exceeded all minimum regulatory capital ratios to be considered well-capitalized.



The Banks actual capital amounts and ratios, as well as minimum amounts
and ratios required for capital adequacy and prompt corrective action provisions are presented on the next page:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



A quantitative and qualitative analysis about market risk is included in the Companys December 31, 2004 Form 10-K. There have been no material
changes in the assumptions used or in the results of market risk analysis as of September 30, 2005 since December 31, 2004. See Asset/Liability Management in Item 2, for a further discussion of the Companys interest
rate sensitivity gap analysis.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



As of September 30, 2005, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation under their supervision, with the participation of other members of management as they deemed appropriate, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as contemplated by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that as of September 30, 2005, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries) and
in ensuring that information required to be included in the periodic reports the Company files or submits to the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required, except that subsequent to the filing
on November 4, 2005, of our report on Form 10Q for the period ended September 30, 2005, we identified calculation errors in our process for reporting the average yield and costs on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at period
end. The corrected yields and costs at September 30, 2005 are reflected on page 17 of this Form 10Q/A.



There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2005 that has materially affected or is reasonably
likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
