Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

(Unaudited)



(1) Basis of Presentation



The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MAF Bancorp,
Inc. (Company), and Mid America Bank, fsb including its subsidiaries (Bank) and MAF Developments, Inc. (MAFD), for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and as of June 30, 2004 and December
31, 2003. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



(2) 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 have a dilutive effect. Weighted average shares used in calculating earnings per share are summarized below for the periods indicated:

million were adjustable-rate loans. Prospective borrowers had locked the interest rate on $163.7 million of these commitments, of which $63.0 million were fixed-rate loans, with rates ranging from 4.0% to 8.25%, and $100.7 million were adjustable
rate loans with rates ranging from 3.375% to 7.5%. The interest rates on the remaining commitments of $509.7 million float at current market rates. At June 30, 2004, the Bank had outstanding forward commitments to sell $82.8 million of fixed-rate
mortgage loans and $62.6 million of adjustable-rate mortgage loans. At June 30, 2004, the Bank also had outstanding commitments to originate $118.9 million of floating rate equity lines of credit.



At June 30, 2004, the Bank had outstanding standby letters of credit totaling
$57.2 million. Of this amount $43.4 million is comprised of letters of credit to enhance developers industrial revenue bond financings of commercial real estate in the Banks market. Additionally, the Company had outstanding standby
letters of credit totaling $4.9 million related to real estate development improvements.



The contractual amounts of credit-related financial instruments such as commitments to extend credit, and letters of credit, represent the amounts of potential accounting loss should the loan be originated or the
contract be fully drawn upon, the customer default, and the value of any existing collateral become worthless. At June 30, 2004, the Bank had $12.2 million of credit risk related to loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Bank Mortgage Partnership
Finance Program (MPF), $52.0 million of loans sold with recourse to other investors, and approximately $21.5 million of credit risk related to loans with private mortgage insurance in force.



(4) 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.

(8) Stock Option Plans



The Company applies APB Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option
plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its awards under stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Companys stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those
plans applying the alternative method of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, the Companys net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below:

(10) New Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants (AICPA) released Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (SOP 03-3). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual
cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investors initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable to credit quality. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2004. Adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In March 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105 (SAB No. 105),
Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments. SAB 105 prohibits the

inclusion of estimated servicing cash flows and internally-developed intangible assets within the valuation of interest rate lock commitments under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 133. SAB No. 105 is effective for disclosures and interest rate lock commitments initiated after March 31, 2004. The Bank adopted SAB 105 effective April 1, 2004 resulting in a decrease in gain on loan sales of $765,000
during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The Bank previously included a portion of the value of the associated servicing cash flows when recognizing saleable loan commitments at inception and throughout their life. This impact will not affect the
ongoing economic value of this business.

market conditions or the market for mortgage servicing rights, 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, difficulties or delays in completing the acquisition of Chesterfield Financial Corp. (Chesterfield), higher than expected costs or unanticipated difficulties associated with the integration of Chesterfield into
the Company, deteriorating economic conditions which could result in increased delinquencies in the Companys or Chesterfields loan portfolio, the quality or composition of the Companys or Chesterfields loan or investment
portfolios, demand for financial services and residential real estate in the Companys or Chesterfields market area, unanticipated slowdowns in real estate lot sales or problems in closing pending real estate contracts, delays in real
estate development projects, the possible short-term dilutive effect of 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.
(Company) is a registered savings and loan holding company incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company engages in banking activities through its subsidiary, Mid America Bank, fsb (Bank), and residential
land development business through its subsidiary, MAF Developments, Inc.



The Bank offers various financial services to its retail and business banking customers through a network of 67 branches in Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin. The Illinois franchise is comprised of 44 branches in
the Chicago metropolitan area, including 16 locations in the City of Chicago, a strong presence in suburban western Cook County and DuPage County, an increasing penetration of the rapidly-growing Will and Kane counties, as well as a presence in the
north and southwest suburbs of Chicago. In Wisconsin, the Bank serves communities in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties and portions of Ozaukee, Washington and Walworth Counties through 23 retail branches under the name of St. Francis Bank, a division
of Mid America Bank, fsb. The Bank currently has plans to open four to five de novo branches over the next six to twelve months as it continues to expand its presence in the Chicago and Milwaukee metropolitan areas. The Banks principal lending
activity has traditionally

been one-to four-family residential loans. To an increasing extent, the Bank also makes multi-family mortgage,
commercial, residential construction, land acquisition and development and a variety of consumer loans. In 2001, the Bank formed a commercial business lending unit to target lending and deposit relationships with small to medium sized businesses in
its primary market areas. The 2003 acquisitions of Fidelity Bancorp (Fidelity) and St. Francis Capital Corporation (St. Francis), in particular, have significantly changed the asset mix and expanded the lending focus of the
Bank. These acquisitions added a large amount of multi-family, commercial real estate, construction, land loans and commercial business loans, and a lesser amount of one- to four-family loans to the Banks portfolio. Through various
wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank also provides general insurance services, investment services and securities brokerage primarily to the Banks loan customers. In addition, the Bank operates an investment subsidiary and a subsidiary engaged
in investment in affordable housing projects. The Bank also operates a captive reinsurance company, which shares in a portion of mortgage insurance premiums received by certain mortgage insurance companies on the Banks mortgage loan
originations in return for assuming some of the risk of loss.



On June 5, 2004, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire Chesterfield Financial Corporation in a 65% cash and 35% stock transaction valued at approximately $128.5 million. As previously disclosed, the Company
expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2004 pending regulatory approval and approval by Chesterfield stockholders. At June 30, 2004, Chesterfield had assets of $362 million, deposits of $280 million, stockholders equity of
$75 million and four banking facilities, two located in the Beverly community on Chicagos south side and the others in Palos Hills and Frankfort, Illinois, both southwest suburbs of Chicago.



As it has in recent years, the Company expects to continue to search for and
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. 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



Managements discussion and analysis of
financial condition and results of operations of the Company is based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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, 2003 in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The preparation of these
consolidated financial statements requires that management 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 to management. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following involve a higher degree of judgment and
complexity.



Allowance for loan losses. The allowance
for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses to provide a reserve against estimated losses in the Banks loans receivable portfolio. The allowance for loan losses reflects managements estimate of the reserves needed
to cover probable losses inherent in the Banks loan portfolio. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and determining the related provision for loan losses, management considers: (1) 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, (2) historical loss experience and the change in the mix of the overall portfolio composition over the last
five years, (3)

specific allocations based upon probable losses identified during the review of the portfolio, and (4) delinquency in the
portfolio and the composition of non-performing loans including the percent of non-performing loans with supplemental mortgage insurance. An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision of measuring and estimating loss when
evaluating reserves for individual loans or categories of loans.



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. These estimates are impacted by loan prepayment speeds, earnings on escrow funds, as well as the discount rate used to present
value the 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 prepayment speed, cash flow and discount rate estimates. Changes in these
estimates impact fair value, and could require the Bank to record a valuation allowance or recovery. A recovery of $1.8 million was recorded in the first half of 2004 compared to a $940,000 valuation allowance recorded in the prior year period.
Should estimates assumed by management regarding future prepayment speeds on the underlying loans supporting the mortgage servicing rights prove to be incorrect, additional valuation allowances may be necessary, or conversely, the remaining $488,000
valuation allowance could be recovered if changing estimates increase the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.



Real estate held for development.Profits from lot sales in the Companys real estate developments are based on cash received less the cost of
sales per lot, including capitalized interest and an estimate of future costs to be incurred. The estimate of future costs is subject to change and is reviewed on a quarterly basis. Estimates are subject to change for various reasons, including
changes in the estimated 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. For those real estate
developments that have produced lot sales, 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, in evaluating the net realizable value of a development at the end of a reporting period. 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 net realizable value of each land development project the Company is engaged in exceeds the recorded
cost of the project.

2003.

| |  | Non-interest income for the 2004 periods was impacted by a $6.5 million decrease in gain on sale of mortgage loans due to lower loan sale volumes, narrower profit margins and a

Outlook for the Balance of 2004



The Company currently expects earnings for 2004 to be in the range of
$3.20-$3.35 per diluted share. Mortgage loan demand, particularly refinance activity which comprised a significant portion of overall loan volume during 2003 and the beginning of 2004, has dropped significantly following the rise in interest rates
during the second quarter. Due to these developments, the Company expects lower mortgage loan volume for the balance of the year and to increase lower-yielding adjustable-rate mortgages in mortgage origination product mix. The Company expects to
benefit from lower non-interest expenses in the second half of the year due to completion of the St. Francis systems conversion, although some of this benefit will be offset by higher than previously anticipated costs relating to management
personnel and infrastructure improvements to accommodate the growth of the Company, as well as from increased costs associated with compliance with new laws affecting public companies.

##### Table of Contents

As a result of lower projected loan origination volume, the Company currently expects earning asset
growth to slow in the balance of 2004 than in the first half of the year. In addition, the Company expects loan sale profits from 1-4 family originations to continue to decline more than originally projected. Income from real estate development
activities is projected to be lower than previously estimated because of delays in receiving municipal approvals for the Companys Springbank development. While the approvals are still expected this year, the delay will postpone some of the
previously anticipated sales in this new project until 2005. The Company currently estimates income from real estate development operations to be in the range of $6.0-$9.5 million for 2004.



The Companys earnings expectations assume a stable housing purchase
market, continued good credit quality and completion of the Companys previously authorized stock buyback program.



Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin



Net interest income increased to $65.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from $40.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2003. The increase is primarily due to a 52.1% increase in interest-earning assets primarily due to the acquisitions of Fidelity and St. Francis in 2003. In addition, the Banks interest rate spread and net interest margin were higher during
the 2004 three-month period to 2.86% and 3.05%, respectively, from 2.59% and 2.89% for the prior year three-month period. The expansion of the spread and net interest margin are attributable to the low interest rate environment present during most
of the past twelve months, the positive slope of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, growth in core deposits, as well as due to the acquisitions. Lower short-term interest rates over this period have enabled the Bank to reduce its cost of
interest-bearing liabilities more than the reduction in asset yields, which were reduced as higher-yielding loans receivables were refinanced at lower rates.



The average yield on interest-earning assets declined to 4.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from 5.27% for the three-month period ended June
30, 2003. This decline is primarily attributable to a decline in the yield on loans receivable, as declining long-term Treasury rates led to high levels of prepayments during most of 2003, as well as during the quarter ending June 30, 2004. The Bank
reinvested many of these proceeds into lower-yielding hybrid ARM loans, as well as increased balances in home equity lines of credit and business lines tied to the prime rate which have initial rates well below the portfolio yield. The Bank has
approximately $1.24 billion of loans tied to the prime rate at June 30, 2004. The addition of $1.3 billion of loans in the St. Francis merger had the effect of lowering the Companys overall yield because the acquired loan portfolio was
marked-to-market at the time of purchase. The yield on mortgage-backed securities was also impacted by higher prepayments. However, while mortgage-backed securities with higher yielding underlying loans have prepaid steadily, the addition of the St.
Francis portfolio as of December 2003 helped increase the yield of mortgage-backed securities during 2004. The average yield on mortgage-backed securities during the second quarter of 2004 rose to 3.78% from 3.60% in the year earlier period. The
yield on investment securities rose to 3.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from 3.51% for the previous year quarter. Both St. Francis and Fidelity owned significant voluntary excess FHLB stock investments at the time of acquisition,
resulting in the Banks increased position compared to June 30, 2003. The Bank plans to reduce its stock position in the FHLB of Chicago over the next 6-12 months, which may pressure its net interest margin to the extent the proceeds from the
stock redemptions are not reinvested at comparable yields.



The
cost of interest-bearing liabilities dropped to 1.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from 2.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The average rate paid on both deposits and borrowed funds have been positively impacted by continued
low short-term interest rates, as well as the lower cost funding added in the St. Francis merger. The low short-term interest rate environment over the last 12 months has allowed the Bank to reprice higher-cost maturing certificates of deposits, as
well as led the Bank to reduce the amounts paid on passbook and money market accounts relative to the prior year. The combined effects of these actions, along with an

increase in the level of core deposits and the impact of the St. Francis merger was a 36 basis point reduction in the
Banks cost of deposits to an average of 1.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from 1.70% for 2003. Similarly, the 167 basis point reduction in the cost of borrowed funds was due to the impact of the St. Francis merger and maturities
of higher cost FHLB of Chicago advances being replaced with lower cost fixed rate borrowings, as well as adjustable rate borrowings indexed to LIBOR and prime. The Bank has increased its use of shorter-term borrowings in its funding mix due to the
increase in floating rate loans, primarily in the form of home equity lines of credit and business lines of credit.



Net interest income increased to $129.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from $81.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The
increase is due to the 50% increase in interest-earning assets. In addition, the Banks spread and net interest margin each increased during the 2004 six-month period to 2.88% and 3.08%, respectively, from 2.60% and 2.91% for the prior year
six-month period.



The average yield on interest earning assets
decreased to 4.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 5.40% for the 2003 period, primarily due to the lower interest rate environment leading to the prepayment of higher coupon mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, and the call of
certain high yielding investment securities. Yields on loans receivable decreased to 5.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 5.81% in 2003, and accounts for the majority of the decline in the overall earning asset yield, due to the size of
the portfolio. Although the decline in interest rates led to the call of some investment securities prior to maturity, the yield on investment securities rose 56 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to the large increase in FHLB
of Chicago stock. Yields for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were 4.97% compared to 4.41% in 2003. The cost of interest bearing liabilities declined 79 basis points to 2.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as lower interest rates allowed
most of the Banks deposit products to reprice downward. Similarly, the cost of borrowed funds decreased 158 basis points due to maturities of high cost fixed-rate advances and a shortening of duration in the portfolio due to borrowings
acquired. Because short-term interest rates have generally been lower, the shorter duration of the borrowings led to much lower costs compared to amounts maturing during 2003 and 2004.

##### Table of Contents

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income



The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Companys interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume
(changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior volume), and (iii) the net change. Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated
proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses



The Bank provided $280,000 in provision for loan
losses during the second quarter of 2004 compared to no provision in the prior year second quarter. Net recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were $4,000 compared to $92,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2004,
the Banks allowance for loan losses was $34.7 million, which equaled .52% of total loans receivable, compared to $34.6 million, or .54% at December 31, 2003, and $19.4 million or .42% at June 30, 2003. The Bank provided $580,000 in provision
for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to no provision in the prior year six-month period. The primary reason for the current year provision was inherent losses in the growth in the loan portfolio during the period.



Non-Interest Income



Non-interest income increased $2.1 million, or 12.4% to $19.1 million
in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $17.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 due to increased mortgage-servicing related income, as well as higher volume of deposit account service charges and brokerage commissions, offset by lower
loan sale gains. Last years results were highlighted by significant loan sale gains reflecting high loan sale volume occurring during a declining interest rate environment, offset by high loan servicing amortization expenses and impairment of
mortgage servicing rights. Non-interest income totaled $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, or 19.7% more than the $33.0 million for the previous year period. Gains on the sale of mortgage-backed securities were $489,000 for the
current six-month period compared to $5.4 million for the prior year period. The current year period included net gains on the sale of investment securities of $2.8 million compared to $5.4 million of losses from sales and other than temporary
write-downs of investment securities in the prior year period.

|(1) | Change in accounting treatment during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 resulted in a 30 basis point reduction in margin on loan sales.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A decline in fixed-rate loan refinancing activity and a consumer shift toward
adjustable-rate mortgage loans led to reduced volume of loans sold and considerably lower loan sale gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2003. The Company began selling some of its
adjustable-rate loan originations, of which profits tend to be much less than on sales of fixed-rate loans resulting in an overall lower margin on loan sales. Although slower loan prepayments led to reduced loan sale gains, it also resulted in a
decrease in amortization of mortgage servicing rights leading to loan servicing fee expense of $115,000 for the current quarter compared to $2.0 million in the prior year quarter.



The quarter ended June 30, 2004 also includes the adoption of SAB No. 105, which prohibits the inclusion of estimated
servicing cash flows within the valuation of interest rate lock commitments under SFAS No. 133 resulting in $765,000 less gain on the sale of loans. The Company previously included a portion of the value of the associated servicing cash flows when
recognizing loan commitments at inception and throughout its life. This impact will not affect the ongoing economic value of this business. Slower expected prepayments also led to a $1.2 million recovery of valuation reserves on servicing rights
during the three months ended June 30, 2004 and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Deposit account
service fees are up considerably compared to the second quarter of 2003, due to the higher number of accounts from the St. Francis and Fidelity mergers. Considerable competition for checking accounts, particularly in the Chicago market, along with
trending higher average per account balances in the Banks checking accounts, has significantly slowed the rate of growth in deposit fees per account. In addition, debit card fee income has been negatively impacted by the 2003 VISA lawsuit
settlement effective August 1, 2003, that reduced debit card interchange revenue for all banks and the increased use of point of sale debit card transactions that generate lower interchange revenues.

A total of 63 of the
64 residential lot sales during the six months ended June 30, 2004 were in the Shenandoah development, where 46 lots remain as of June 30, 2004. The increase in the investment in real estate compared to a year ago relates primarily to the land
purchases for the new Springbank joint venture development in Plainfield, Illinois. The Company has been actively pursuing the required zoning and desired plat for this project with the local planning commission and village board since 2002. Subject
to receipt of final municipal approvals, development is expected to begin in late 2004 on this project where 1,600 residential lots, 300 multi-family lots and other commercial parcels are planned, with lot sale closings also expected to begin in
Springbank in late 2004 or early 2005. The municipal approval process for this project has taken longer than anticipated and any further delays may result in a significant portion of the income for real estate being shifted into 2005 earnings. The
Company currently expects income from real estate operations of approximately $2.4$5.9 million for the second half of 2004.

During the six months
ended June 30, 2004, the Company sold three investment securities on which it had previously taken other-than-temporary-impairment writedowns in 2002 and 2003. The net gain from the sale of these three securities was $2.7 million. In the first
quarter of 2003, the Bank had written two of these securities down by $8.1 million.



Gains on the sale of mortgage-backed securities were $489,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $5.4 million for the prior year period. During the prior year six-month period, the Company swapped into
mortgage-backed securities a total of $85.3 million of prepayment-protected fixed-rate mortgages, which were subsequently sold along with an additional $60.9 million of similar mortgage-backed securities resulting in the gain for that period. These
sales were undertaken to improve the Companys interest rate risk position by lengthening its asset duration to better match the Companys increased liability duration, as the average lives of these loans and related mortgage-backed
securities had become very short due to high prepayment speeds.





Non-Interest Expense



Compared to prior year periods, non-interest expense increased approximately 70% for both the three- and six-month periods ended June 30,
2004. The increases are primarily attributable to growth in operations from the acquisitions of Fidelity and St. Francis in the second half of 2003 as well as five new branches opened since June 2003. Approximately $880,000 in costs related to the

completion of the St. Francis systems conversion including software programming costs and incremental compensation and
overtime costs is included in the current quarter expense. The Company expects to recognize additional cost savings in the second half of 2004 following the completion of this conversion in May 2004. The table below indicates the composition of
non-interest expense for the three- and six-month periods indicated.

Also contributing to the increase in non-interest expense are:



| |  | The addition of management personnel to facilitate company growth, normal salary increases, higher payroll taxes and medical costs.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | The consolidation of four loan operation centers into one location will contribute to higher occupancy expense through the third quarter of 2004 before declining, but will improve
efficiencies over the long term.

| |  | Higher advertising and promotion expense due to a more competitive retail banking market, costs related to new product advertising and the launch of advertising in the Milwaukee
area as well as higher public relations costs.

| |  | Higher insurance costs primarily due to the renewal at higher premiums of the Companys directors and officers policy that came off a three-year policy period in June 2003. The
increase resulted from the hardening of the insurance market in the post-Enron and post September 11thenvironment
and growth in the Company.

| |  | The efficiency ratio for the six-month period ending June 30, 2004 was 55.7% compared to 46.6% for the prior year period, which primarily reflects higher costs associated with
operating the St. Francis locations prior to the conversion, the impact of the new branch openings and the increased burden of regulatory compliance.

Income Tax Expense



Income tax expense totaled $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, equal to an effective income tax rate of 33.0%, compared to
$11.3 million or an effective income tax rate of 36.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decline in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to tax benefits generated from St. Francis Equity Properties low income and senior
housing projects and to a lesser extent, from the resolution of certain prior years income tax matters.



Income tax expense totaled $25.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, equal to an effective income tax rate of 33.2%, compared to $22.4 million
or an effective income tax rate of 36.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The same reasons cited for the decline in the effective income tax rate for the current quarter gave rise to the decrease in rate for the six-month period.



Changes in Financial Condition



Total assets of the Company were $9.37 billion at June 30, 2004, an increase
of $441.0 million, or 4.9% from $8.93 billion at December 31, 2003. The increase is driven by an increase in loans receivable with continued strong growth in equity lines of credit and demand for single-family loans shifting toward adjustable-rate
mortgage loans. The growth in loans receivable was funded primarily with an increase in borrowed funds, and to a lesser extent with deposit growth. Core deposits grew $188.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004 due in part to the
successful introduction of a new high-rate checking account product. Growth in core deposits was offset by a $95.8 million decrease in certificates of deposit. A summary of significant changes is as follows:

The above table
reflects the continuing shift in the loan portfolio mix resulting from the 2003 acquisitions. These acquisitions resulted in further loan diversification away from one- to-four family real estate loans that augmented the diversification efforts
begun in 2000 with an increased emphasis on originating equity lines of credit and the formation of a business banking department in 2001. Since December 31, 1999, the concentration in one- to-four family mortgage loans has been reduced from 89.4%
to 60.9% at June 30, 2004.



Deposits. The following table
sets forth the composition of the deposit portfolio at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The percent of core deposits to total deposits has increased from 58.2% at December 31, 2003 to 60.6% at June 30, 2004.

Asset Quality



Non-Performing Assets. 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 90 days or more past due, in the process of foreclosure,
or in bankruptcy, the full amount of previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. For commercial real estate, construction, large multi-family loans, and business loans, subsequent cash payments are applied first to
principal until recovery of principal is assured and then to interest income. For one-to four-family residential loans, consumer loans, smaller multi-family residential loans and land loans, 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. Additionally, the Bank considers the classification of investment securities, should they show signs of deteriorating quality.



The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans,
non-accrual investment securities, and foreclosed real estate of the Bank.

Non-performing loans decreased $3.8 million to $28.9 million, or .43% of total loans receivable at June
30, 2004, compared to $32.8 million, or .51% of loans receivable at December 31, 2003, and increased $6.6 million from $22.4 million, or .49% of total loans receivable at June 30, 2003. The increase in the dollar amount of non-performing loans year
over year is primarily due to increases in one-to four-family, multi-family and consumer loans acquired in the St. Francis and Fidelity acquisitions and are not indicative of deterioration in overall loan portfolio quality. Non-performing assets
were $31.2 million or .33% of total assets at June 30, 2004, compared to $43.7 million or .49% of total assets at December 31, 2003, and $32.8 million or .55% of total assets at June 30, 2003. The decrease in non-performing assets from December 31,
2003 to June 30, 2004 is primarily due to the sale of two non-accrual aircraft related investment securities in the first quarter of 2004.



For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, interest on non-accrual loans that would have been recorded as income, had they been performing according to their
original terms, amounted to $482,000, compared to $400,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, interest on non-accrual loans that would have been recorded as income, had they been performing according to
their original terms, amounted to $882,000, compared to $772,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Classified
Assets. The federal regulators have adopted a classification system for problem assets of insured institutions covering all problem assets and requires certain reserves. 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 deserving managements close attention.



In connection with the filing of its periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the Bank regularly reviews the problem
loans in its portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, all of the Banks non-performing loans were classified as substandard. In addition,
the Bank classified $29.3 million and $6.3 million of commercial and multi-family real estate, land development and commercial business loans on accrual basis as substandard for regulatory purposes at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
respectively. The increase is due to various developments that could affect

future loan performance. These loans are generally performing in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and are adequately secured based on the
current value of the underlying collateral. The Bank also classified three affordable housing related real estate projects included in other assets aggregating $1.8 million as substandard for regulatory purposes at June 30, 2004. The Bank also
classified portions of other loans totaling $1.4 million and $750,000 as doubtful at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 respectively. Special mention loans at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 totaled $14.0 million and $39.1 million,
respectively.

The allowance for loan
losses to total loans at June 30, 2004 was .52%, a decrease from .54% at December 31, 2003, reflecting the change in the mix of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased to 119.95% at June 30, 2004, from
105.39% at December 31, 2003, reflecting the decline in non-performing assets.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



At the
holding company level, the Companys principal sources of funds during the six months ended June 30, 2004 were cash dividends paid by the Bank of $60.0 million. The Companys principal uses of funds during the six months ended June 30,
2004 were cash dividends to shareholders and stock repurchases. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company repurchased 575,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $42.27 per share, for a total of $24.3 million. For
the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company declared common stock dividends of $.42 per share, or $13.8 million.



The Banks principal sources of funds are deposits, advances from the FHLB of Chicago, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities,
proceeds from the sale of loans, other borrowings, 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 the Bank may at times sell these assets for asset/liability management purposes or as a source of liquidity.



The Bank has a concentration in its investment portfolio in stock of the FHLB of Chicago (FHLBC). Consistent with plans previously disclosed
in its 2003 Form 10-K, the Bank has begun to reduce its investment in FHLBC stock and expects to continue its plan over the next nine to twelve months as the FHLBC approaches implementation of its new capital structure which is currently expected in
mid 2005. At June 30, 2004, the Bank had $366.7 million invested in FHLBC stock of which $252.4 million was in excess of the minimum investment required as collateral for its FHLB borrowings as of that date. A significant portion of the excess
investment resulted from the Fidelity and St. Francis acquisitions, as they maintained investments in excess of their required minimums due to the high rate of dividends being paid by the FHLBC. The Bank may, at the FHLBCs discretion,

redeem at par any capital stock greater than its required investment or sell it to other FHLBC members. The Bank monitors the financial results and interest
rate risk position of the FHLBC on a quarterly basis. On June 30, 2004, the FHLBC announced that it voluntarily entered into a written agreement with its regulator agreeing among other things to implement changes to enhance its risk management,
capital management, governance and internal controls practices and procedures, to limit future growth rates and to maintain certain minimum capital levels. FHLBC is currently rated Aaa by Moodys Investor Services, and AA+ by Standard &
Poors Corporation.



The Bank utilizes particular sources
of funds based on comparative costs and availability. The Bank generally manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady to increasing deposit portfolio in the aggregate, but has from time to time decided not to pay rates on deposits as
high as its competition, and when necessary, to supplement deposits with longer term and/or other alternative sources of funds such as FHLB advances and other borrowings. The Bank currently expects that due to increased competition for deposits in
its markets, that more of its growth is expected to be funded with higher cost wholesale borrowings.



During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Bank originated loans totaling $2.20 billion compared with $2.45 billion during the same period in 2003.
Loan sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, were $391.0 million, compared to $879.0 million for the prior year period.



Since December 31, 2003, the Bank has experienced a $111.7 million increase in loan commitments which totaled $673.4 million at June 30, 2004, compared to
$561.7 million at December 31, 2003. At June 30, 2004, the Company believes that it has sufficient cash to fund its outstanding commitments or will be able to obtain the necessary funds from outside sources to meet its cash requirements. At June 30,
2004, the Bank had up to $12.2 million of credit risk related to loans sold to the MPF program with recourse provisions, $52.0 million of credit risk related to loans sold with recourse to other investors and approximately $21.5 million of credit
risk related to loans with private mortgage insurance in force.



The following table lists the commitments and contingencies of the Company and the Bank as of June 30, 2004:

Asset/Liability Management



As part of its normal operations, the Bank is subject to interest-rate risk
on the interest-sensitive assets it invests in and the interest-sensitive liabilities it borrows. The Banks exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed at least quarterly by the Banks asset/liability management committee
(ALCO) and the Board of Directors of the Company. The ALCO, which includes certain members of the board of directors and senior management, monitors the rate and sensitivity repricing characteristics of the individual asset and liability
portfolios the Bank maintains and determines risk management strategies.

##### Table of Contents

The Bank utilizes an 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. Managements goal is to maintain its cumulative one-year gap within the range of (15)% to 15%. The gap ratio fluctuates as a result of market conditions and managements decisions based on its
expectation of future interest rate trends, as well as the impact of the interest rate risk position of acquired institutions. The Banks asset/liability management strategy emphasizes the origination of one- to four-family adjustable-rate
loans and other loans which have shorter terms to maturity or reprice more frequently than fixed-rate mortgage loans, yet provide a positive margin over the Banks cost of funds, for its own portfolio. Historically, the Bank has generally sold
its conforming long-term fixed-rate loan originations in the secondary market in order to improve and maintain its 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 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 June 30, 2004 and managements assumptions regarding prepayment percentages on loans and
mortgage-backed securities, based on its current experience in these portfolios. The Bank uses the withdrawal assumptions used by the OTS with respect to NOW, checking and passbook accounts, which are 17.0%, 17.0%, 17.0%, 16.0%, and 33.0%,
respectively, although they are considered conservative by the ALCO. Investment securities and borrowings that contain call or put provisions are generally shown in the category relating to their respective final maturities. At June 30, 2004, the
Bank had $685.0 million of FHLB advances that contain various put positions exercisable at the option of the FHLB of Chicago. At June 30, 2004, $55 million are shown in the less than six-months or less category while $25 million are shown in the
six-month to one-year category and $125 million are shown in the one- to three-year category relating to their put option date based on the expected exercise of the put option by the FHLB of Chicago and the remaining $480 million are shown in the
category relating to their final maturities. At June 30, 2004, $130 million of the Banks reverse repurchase agreements with final maturities greater than one year were shown on the less than six months category due to their expected call in
the current interest rate environment.



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 and new loans would be originated at higher rates, although the higher rates may also dampen the level of new originations.
