ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

The Company is a unitary thrift holding company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Wisconsin and is engaged in the financial services business through
its wholly-owned subsidiary, St. Francis Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank"), a
federally-chartered stock savings bank. In January 1999, the Company acquired
Reliance Bancshares, Inc. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and merged it into the Bank
after the acquisition was completed.

The Bank is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and serves southeastern
Wisconsin with a network of 22 full-service, two limited-service and three loan
production offices. In addition, the Bank has a mortgage-banking subsidiary
based in Illinois that purchases single-family mortgage loans for resale,
primarily in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan marketplace.

The Company's operations include four strategic business segments: Retail
Banking, Commercial Banking, Mortgage Banking and Investments. Management
evaluates the financial performance of each segment primarily based on the
individual segments' direct contribution to the Company's net income.
Information regarding the net interest income, other operating income, profit
and average assets for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999
is set forth in Note 19 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In fiscal 2000 and
2001, the Company continued to reduce the size of its mortgage-backed securities
and investment securities portfolios as part of a strategy to decrease the
proportion of earnings from that segment of its balance sheet. The reduction was
primarily accomplished through the repayment of principal, scheduled maturities
and the sale of available-for-sale securities. Funds generated from the
repayment of principal, maturities and sales from the mortgage-backed securities
and investment securities portfolios were used to grow and diversify the
Company's loan portfolio, to reduce the Company's wholesale debt and as an
additional source of liquidity. Management anticipates that this form of
"balance sheet restructuring" will be an ongoing strategic initiative of the
Company in fiscal 2002.

The Company's principal business is attracting retail deposits from the general
public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from other
operations, primarily to originate mortgage, consumer, commercial and other
loans within its primary market areas, and to invest in mortgage-backed and
related securities. Primary areas of lending include single-family and
multi-family residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, second
mortgages, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans. The Company also
purchases single-family mortgage loans, either by directly purchasing individual
loans from other local mortgage lenders or by purchasing pools of single-family
mortgage loans originated by other non-local lenders and secured by properties
located outside the State of Wisconsin. The Company invests a significant
portion of its assets in mortgage-backed and



                                       3
<PAGE>

related securities, and to a lesser extent, invests in debt and equity
securities, including U.S. Government and federal agency securities, short-term
liquid assets and other marketable securities. The Company also invests in
affordable housing projects throughout the State of Wisconsin. The Company's
revenues are derived principally from interest on its loan portfolio, interest
on mortgage-backed and related securities, and interest and dividends on its
debt and equity securities. The affordable housing projects do not provide a
significant source of income before taxes, but rather provide income in the form
of income tax credits which reduce the Company's income tax liability. The
Company's principal sources of funds are from deposits, including brokered
deposits, repayments on loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, and
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank - Chicago ("FHLB").

MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION

The Company offers a variety of deposit products, services and consumer,
commercial and mortgage loan offerings primarily within the metropolitan
Milwaukee area. The Company's main office is located at 13400 Bishops Lane,
Suite 350, Brookfield, Wisconsin. The primary market area for the Company's
full-service and limited-service offices consists of Milwaukee and Waukesha
counties, and portions of Ozaukee, Washington and Walworth counties. The Bank's
Illinois mortgage banking subsidiary purchases single-family mortgage loans for
resale, primarily in the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan marketplace. The Bank's
loan production offices include two in the Milwaukee metropolitan area that
originate single-family mortgage loans for both portfolio and resale purposes.
The Bank's other loan production office is located in Brookfield, Wisconsin and
originates commercial real estate, multi-family and commercial loans. The market
area for this type of lending is primarily in southeastern Wisconsin, but does
include the Midwest including the rest of the state of Wisconsin, Illinois and
Minnesota. The Company also evaluates lending opportunities and may originate or
purchase all types of loans located outside the primary market areas.

With the exception of the downtown Milwaukee branch office, all full service
branches of the Bank are located in areas that generally are characterized as
residential neighborhoods, containing predominantly one- and two-family
residences. The Company also operates a mortgage banking subsidiary based in
Illinois.

The Company has significant competition in its mortgage, consumer and commercial
lending business, as well as in attracting deposits. The Company's competition
for loans is principally from other thrift institutions, savings banks, mortgage
banking companies, insurance companies and commercial banks. The Company's
competition for deposits comes from other thrifts, savings banks, commercial
banks and credit unions. The Company has additional competition for funds from
other financial service companies, such as brokerage firms and insurance
companies.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

GENERAL

The Company's gross loan portfolio totaled $1.2 billion at September 30, 2001.
At September 30, 2001, one- to four-family mortgage loans totaled $298.6 million
or 22.5% of gross loans. Of the total one- to four-family mortgage loans, $250.4
million or 83.9% were adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs"). Of the remaining
loans held at September 30, 2001, 27.3% were in commercial real estate, 16.7%
were home equity loans, 10.6% were in commercial, 9.5% were in multi-family
mortgage loans, 8.2% were in consumer loans, and 5.2% were in residential
construction. As part of its strategy to manage interest rate risk, the Company
originates primarily ARM loans or fixed rate loans which have shorter maturities
for its own loan portfolio. The ARM loans generally include terms under which
the borrower may convert the loan to a fixed rate loan. Upon conversion to a
fixed rate loan, the loan is typically sold into the secondary market. The
Company also originates longer-term fixed rate mortgage loans, many of which are
sold in the secondary market.

The Company has been diversifying its loan portfolio, which in addition to its
traditional one- to four-family lending, includes commercial real-estate,
multi-family, consumer and commercial lending. Areas of lending other than one-
to four-family lending generally have higher levels of credit risk and higher
yields. The Company may purchase loans in the above categories in addition to
originating the loans on its own. Purchased loans involve different types of
underwriting than loans originated directly by the Company and as such represent
a different level of risk.

Levels of originations of various lending categories may vary from year-to-year
and result from differing levels of interest rates, market demand for loans and
emphasis by the Company on various types of loans. In fiscal 2001,



                                       4
<PAGE>

the level of originations, in particular mortgage loans, were especially
dependent on the level of interest rates or changes in interest rates throughout
the year. The Company adjusts its lending emphasis occasionally in accordance
with its view of the relative returns and risks available from time to time in
each category of lending. Although there is likely to be activity in all areas
in which the Company makes loans in any given year, the amount may vary given
changes in the above factors.

ONE- TO FOUR-FAMILY MORTGAGE LENDING

A significant portion of the Company's lending activity is the origination of
first mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family, owner occupied residences
within the Company's primary market area. Long-term 15- and 30-year fixed rate
mortgages ("FRMs"), and 7-year balloon loans are generally originated and sold
in the secondary market. The Company also originates and sells 30-year FRMs
under the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority ("WHEDA")
program. Shorter-term ARM loans are generally originated for the Company's loan
portfolio. Loans made under special loan terms or programs, principally
originated within the purposes of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as
amended ("CRA"), are retained for the Company's own loan portfolio.

The Company typically follows secondary market underwriting guidelines for most
of its conforming one- to four-family mortgage production, including those
established by Fannie Mae, WHEDA, and other specific investors. In many cases,
the application of these guidelines includes the use of the latest in automated
underwriting systems.

The lending policy of the Company generally allows for mortgage loans to be made
in amounts of up to 100% of the lesser of appraised value or purchase price of
the real estate to be mortgaged to the Company. Loans that are made in excess of
80% of appraised value generally require a credit enhancement such as private
mortgage insurance to mitigate risk.

ARM loans are included in mortgage loans held by the Company as part of its loan
portfolio. During the adjustment period, ARM loans typically can adjust by a
maximum of two percentage points per year with a lifetime cap approximating six
percentage points above the interest rate established at the origination date of
the ARM loan. Monthly payments of principal and interest are adjusted when the
interest rate adjusts, in order to maintain full amortization of the mortgage
loan within a maximum 30-year term. The initial rates offered on ARM loans
fluctuate with general interest rate changes, and are determined by secondary
market pricing, competitive conditions and the Company's yield requirements.
Currently, the Company utilizes primarily the one-year Constant Maturity
Treasury rate in order to determine the interest rate payable upon the
adjustment date of its ARM loans outstanding. Because the majority of the Bank's
ARM loans are underwritten to meet secondary market standards, these loans
include terms under which the borrower may convert the loan to a fixed rate
loan. The terms at which the ARM may be converted to a fixed rate loan are
established at the date of loan origination and are set at a level allowing the
Company to immediately sell the ARM loan at the date of conversion. Upon
conversion of an ARM loan to a fixed rate loan, the Company typically transfers
the mortgage loan to mortgage loans held for sale and the loans are then sold
into the secondary market. For the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company
transferred $91.0 million mortgage loans to mortgage loans held for sale,
compared to $16.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2000.

The volume of one- to four-family mortgage loan origination is highly dependent
on the relative levels of interest rates. During periods of lower interest
rates, the Company originates a higher percentage of loans with fixed rates,
which the Company sells in the secondary market in connection with interest rate
risk management. In such environments, the Company's level of gains on mortgage
loan sales may be higher due to the increased percentage of loans being
originated which are subsequently sold in lieu of being retained in the
Company's portfolio.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had $298.6 million in one- to four-family
mortgage loans or 22.5% of the gross loan portfolio compared with $404.5 million
or 29.5% of the portfolio at September 30, 2000. This decline was largely the
result of decreasing interest rates during the year which motivated consumers to
choose attractively priced FRM financing alternatives. The Company's one- to
four-family mortgage loan portfolio has a significant level of adjustable rate
loans and during periods of declining interest rates, the customers convert
adjustable rate loans to fixed rate loans. However, fixed rate loans are
generally sold in the secondary market and are not maintained on the Company's
balance sheet.

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION/PERMANENT LENDING

Residential construction/permanent lending typically comprises a significant
portion of the Company's new ARM loan production. These loans are made to
borrowers who have obtained plans, specifications and a construction contract
with a residential home builder. Residential construction loan programs
typically offered by the Company include 1- 2- 3- and 5-year ARM loans. Most
loans are originated with terms of 30 years, with the construction period being
included in the initial portion of that term. The length of the construction
period is the lesser of the time it takes to complete the home or 12 months.
During this period, the borrower is required to pay interest only on the funds
advanced. Thereafter, the borrower is required to begin making principal and
interest payments based



                                       9
<PAGE>

on an amortization schedule of the remaining months. Typically, the construction
of most homes financed take five to six months.

At closing, loan proceeds adequate to complete the construction of the home are
placed in escrow and disbursements are made in increments as construction of the
residence progresses. Vendors are contracted to conduct inspections, disburse
proceeds, obtain lien waivers, and ensure that clear title to the property is
maintained.

One- to four-family, residential construction loans typically have loan to value
ratios of up to 95%. When the loan to value ratio exceeds 80%, private mortgage
insurance is generally required upon the completion of the construction period
to reduce the Company's exposure to 80% of the loan value or less.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had $68.9 million in residential construction
mortgage loans, or 5.2% of the gross loan portfolio, compared with $62.3 million
or 4.5% of the portfolio at September 30, 2000. A significant portion of the
Company's residential construction lending results in permanent mortgage loans
that are either retained as ARMs in the mortgage loan portfolio or sold in the
secondary market once converted.

MULTI-FAMILY MORTGAGE LENDING

The Company originates multi-family mortgage loans which it typically holds in
its loan portfolio. Over the last five years, the Company has increased its
emphasis in multi-family mortgage lending and has offered both adjustable- and
fixed-rate mortgage loans. Multi-family mortgage loans generally have shorter
maturities than one- to four-family mortgage loans, though the Company has made
multi-family mortgage loans with terms of up to 30 years. Multi-family loans
generally are underwritten in amounts up to the lesser of 85% of the appraised
value or 85% of the borrower's purchase price of the underlying property,
although loans of up to 100% of property value have been made.

Loans secured by multi-family real estate generally have higher loan balances,
involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family loans, have a
higher rate of interest and ARM loans adjust at slightly higher rates. The
increased credit risk is the result of several factors, including the
concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the
effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties and the
increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans.
Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family real estate is
typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate
project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower's ability to
repay the loan may be impaired. In some instances, the risk level is mitigated
by obtaining individual guarantees, which may provide an additional source of
repayment of the loan. Despite the risks inherent in multi-family lending, the
Company's percentage of delinquent multi-family loans to gross multi-family
loans has been minimal.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had $126.3 million in multi-family mortgage
loans or 9.5% of the gross loan portfolio compared with $130.0 million or 9.5%
of the portfolio at September 30, 2000. During fiscal 2001, the decrease in
multi-family mortgage loans is primarily due to repayments of loans that were
not replaced with new originations. The Company is continuing its efforts to
increase the amount of multi-family loans in the loan portfolio. These loans
generally offer a greater yield than single-family loans, which, the Company
believes, justifies the increased credit risk.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING

The current lending policy of the Company includes originating or purchasing
non-residential mortgage loans on a variety of commercial properties, including
office buildings, warehouses, industrial/manufacturing buildings, motel
properties, land development and other improved non-residential properties. In
recent years, commercial real estate lending has been identified as a growth
area for the Company with the allocation of additional Company resources. In
fiscal 2001, the Company originated and refinanced an increased amount of
commercial real estate loans within its normal credit risk guidelines. The
Company originated 121 loans with principal balances totaling $105.9 million
during the current fiscal year, compared to 78 loans with principal balances
totaling $70.8 million in fiscal 2000. At September 30, 2001, the Company had
$362.3 million in commercial real estate mortgage loans or 27.3% of the gross
loan portfolio, compared with $306.8 million or 22.4% of the portfolio at
September 30, 2000.

The Company's commercial real estate lending area includes the states of
Illinois and Minnesota as well as its' primary geographic focus of Wisconsin.
Commercial real estate loans generally are underwritten in amounts up to



                                       10
<PAGE>

the lesser of 85% of the appraised value or 85% of the borrower's purchase price
of the underlying property. Loans secured by commercial real estate properties
are assumed to involve a greater degree of credit risk than residential mortgage
loans and generally carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a
result of several factors, including concentration of principal in a limited
number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on
income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and
monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by
commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of
the related business occupant. In addition, payments on loans secured by
commercial real estate are often susceptible to adverse conditions in the real
estate market or the economy. The risk may be increased on loans secured by
properties located outside of the Company's primary market area due to the
decreased ability to actively monitor such properties.

HOME EQUITY LENDING

The Company has continued to increase its emphasis in originating home equity
loans secured by one- to four-family residences, usually by a second mortgage,
within its primary market area. These loans currently are originated with an
interest rate indexed to the prime rate and adjustable monthly, and thus play a
role in the Company's management of its interest rate risk. Home equity loans
are revolving lines of credit, which are granted for a five-year term, renewable
at the sole discretion of the Company for additional five-year periods. The
minimum monthly payment is interest only for all loan to value ratios providing
the collateral is the primary residence and 1.5% of the outstanding balance for
properties other than primary residence. Typically, an origination fee is
charged upon the origination of the loan and an annual service fee is charged
thereafter. Home equity lines of credit may be made at up to a 100%
loan-to-value level, including any outstanding prior liens against the property
which serves as collateral for the line of credit. For loans over 85%
loan-to-value, the Company often requires private mortgage insurance. At
September 30, 2001, the Company held $221.6 million in home equity loans or
16.7% of the gross loan portfolio, compared with $188.3 million or 13.8% of the
portfolio at September 30, 2000.

CONSUMER LENDING

The Company originates a variety of secured consumer loans, including home
improvement loans, automobile loans, educational loans, fixed term installment
loans and interim financing loans, as well as loans secured by savings accounts
and unsecured loans. Consumer loan terms vary according to the type of
collateral, the term of the loan and the creditworthiness of the borrower. The
Company has been expanding its consumer lending portfolio because higher yields
can be obtained. The Company believes there is strong consumer demand for such
loan products, and the Company historically has experienced relatively low
delinquency and few losses on such products. Management also believes that
offering consumer loan products helps expand and create stronger customer
relationships.

At September 30, 2001, consumer loans totaled $108.2 million or 8.2% of gross
loans compared to $126.5 million or 9.2% of gross loans at September 30, 2000.
Throughout fiscal year 2001, the Company continued to originate consumer loans
through a correspondent program in which the Company received second mortgage
loan/line referrals from mortgage brokers throughout Wisconsin. In September
2001, the Company expanded this delivery channel and began receiving these
referrals from mortgage brokers located in Northern Illinois. The Company also
continued to develop its internet based origination channel by further
developing its web site application process. During fiscal 2000, the Company
discontinued its indirect automobile lending program. Although the credit
history on the indirect portfolio had been favorable, the level of interest
rates the Company was able to charge did not result in the level of profit
desired. The Company continues to originate direct automobile loans on a limited
basis.

Consumer loans often entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans,
particularly in the case of unsecured loans or loans secured by rapidly
depreciating assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed
collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of
repayment as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation.
In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's
continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by
adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal
and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount
which can be recovered from a borrower on such a loan.



                                       11

COMMERCIAL LENDING

The Company originates a variety of commercial loans, including inventory and
receivable financing, equipment loans and interim financing loans. Collateral
can take many forms, such as real estate, inventory, and equipment and may
include personal guarantees of business owners or personal or other collateral
of the business owner. Cash flows, historical financials, financial projections
and collateral valuations are analyzed to give the Company assurance that the
business will generate a sufficient level of cash flow to cover ongoing business
expenses and debt service. The loan-to-value ratios vary depending upon the type
and liquidity of the collateral.

Commercial loans involve a greater degree of risk than most other types of
loans, and payments are often susceptible to adverse economic conditions. Also,
the repayment of loans secured by commercial business assets is typically
dependent upon the successful operation and the eventual cash flows of the
business. To the extent the Company originates these loans outside of its
primary market area, the risks are increased due to decreased ability to monitor
the loans. The Company anticipates commercial lending to continue to increase as
management believes this type of lending is providing a higher yield than
residential loans and is an important component of a balanced loan portfolio.
Typically, the Company targets smaller businesses with which to establish
commercial banking relationships.

The Company also participates with other financial institutions in syndicated
credits whereby several lenders participate in commercial loan arrangements that
are larger than those that the Company would typically originate on a
stand-alone basis. However, the Company has participated in only those types of
credits that it would lend to directly from its own operations, except for the
size of the loan. The Company is not the lead lender in these loans, but does
underwrite the credit on its own in addition to the underwriting performed by
the lead lender. The Company also has limited itself to credit facilities to
commercial borrowers with headquarters or significant operational presence in
the Midwest. Syndicated credits in which the Company has participated are
generally variable rate loans, which also help contribute to the Company's
interest rate risk posture. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $38.1 million
or 27.1% of its commercial loan portfolio, in syndicated credits compared to
$50.2 million or 32.9% at September 30, 2000.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had $140.8 million in commercial loans or
10.6% of the gross loan portfolio compared with $152.5 million or 11.1% of the
portfolio at September 30, 2000. During fiscal 2001, the decrease in commercial
loans is primarily due to repayments of loans that were not replaced with new
originations. The Company intends to continue to increase its involvement in
commercial lending and expects that this portfolio will grow as a percentage of
the total loan portfolio.

CREDIT ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMS

The Company has entered into agreements whereby, for an initial and annual fee,
it will guarantee payment of an industrial revenue bond issue ("IRB"), issued by
a municipality to finance real estate owned by a third party. The Company does
not pledge collateral for purposes of these agreements. At September 30, 2001,
the amount of IRB's for which the Company has guaranteed payment was $38.1
million.

LOAN SALES AND PURCHASES

SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS

The Company sells a significant amount of its originated residential mortgage
loans to secondary marketing agencies, principally Fannie Mae, and primarily on
a non-recourse basis. All mortgage loans, upon commitment, are immediately
categorized as either held for investment or held for sale. The level of
mortgage loan sales is dependent on the amount of saleable loans being
originated by the Company. Depending on factors such as interest rates, levels
of borrower refinancing and competitive factors in the Company's primary market
area, the amount of mortgage loans ultimately sold can vary significantly.
Mortgage loans originated and sold to the secondary market totaled $453.5
million with gains of $6.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2001, and
totaled $117.7 million with gains of $1.1 million for the year ended September
30, 2000. The level of originations is primarily dependent on the level of
interest rates or changes in interest rates throughout each fiscal year.

The Company is subject to interest rate risk on fixed rate loans from the point
in time that the rate is fixed with the borrower until the loan is sold. The
Company utilizes various financial techniques to mitigate such interest rate
risk, including short call/put option strategies, long put options and forward
sales commitments. Any one or all of these strategies may be used depending upon
management's determination of interest rate volatility, the amount of loans for
which the Company has issued a commitment and current market conditions for
mortgage-backed



                                       12
<PAGE>

securities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations-Asset/Liability Management."

The Company also makes loans under the WHEDA loan program. These loans are also
sold on a non- recourse basis. For the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000,
the Company originated $6.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of loans
under this governmental program.

Loan commitments are issued as soon as possible upon completion of the
underwriting process, and mortgage loans are closed as soon as all title
clearance and other required procedures have been completed. Because of the
frequency of both the issuance of commitments and the scheduled closing dates of
the loans, the amount of loan commitments outstanding will vary. At September
30, 2001, the Company had outstanding mortgage commitments totaling $28.0
million.

Historically, the Company has retained servicing of the majority of mortgage
loans sold, receiving a servicing fee which represents the difference between
the note rate on the loans sold and the yield at which such loans are sold. The
servicing yield earned by the Company on such transactions is typically .25% of
the total balance of the loan serviced. The Company's mortgage banking operation
in Illinois typically sells the servicing on the majority of its loans. The
origination of a high volume of mortgage loans and the related sales of the
loans with servicing retained provides the Company with additional sources of
non-interest income through loan servicing income and gains on the sales of
loans. At September 30, 2001, the Company had recognized $6.3 million in
mortgage servicing rights as compared to $4.6 million at September 30, 2000.
Correspondingly, mortgage loans serviced for others increased from $497.9
million at September 30, 2000 to $622.5 million at September 30, 2001.

PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS

The Company, as a regular part of its mortgage lending activities, purchases
individual one- to four-family mortgage loans originated in its primary market
area by other lenders, primarily mortgage bankers and brokers. The types of
loans purchased are generally newly originated loans with the same
characteristics as the loans normally originated by the Company in its retail
lending operations. Even though the Company is not as involved in the
origination of these loans, they typically are underwritten by the Company. This
step, coupled with other quality control processes, helps mitigate the
additional risks associated with individual loan purchases. Although the
Company's historical loan purchase activity has been limited to one- to
four-family loans, the Company may purchase other types of loans, or pools of
loans other than one- to four-family loans in the future.

The majority of loans purchased are adjustable rate mortgages. These are held in
the Bank's portfolio, unless converted to FRMs. The Company pays a fee to the
originating mortgage banker or broker which is amortized over the life of the
loan for loans retained in the portfolio or which becomes an adjustment to the
gain or loss recognized on loans sold in the secondary market. The Company
maintains the same, or more restrictive underwriting standards on these loans as
it does on the loans it originates directly. During the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2001, the Company purchased $201.1 million of loans from other
originators compared to $90.1 million of loans purchased during the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2000. In fiscal 2001, the increase in loans purchased is due
to the increase in loans purchased by the Company's mortgage banking operation
in Illinois. During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company's mortgage
banking operation in Illinois purchased $174.4 million one- to four-family
mortgage loans for resale in the secondary market compared to $56.2 million
purchased during the year ended September 30, 2000. As part of the Company's
plans to diversify its one- to four-family loan production, it is expected that
purchases of loans from other originators will continue in future years.

From time to time, the Company also has purchased "pools" of one- to four-family
loans originated by other lenders in other parts of the country. The loans
purchased have generally been adjustable rate loans with interest rate
adjustment features of one month to one year and are indexed to current indexes
such as the one-year treasury note or to lagging indexes such as the 11th
district cost of funds. As part of its interest rate risk management, the
Company attempts to identify loans originated in other parts of the country
where adjustable rate lending is more prevalent, since the availability of
similar loan products within its primary market area is limited and competition
for that limited demand may force interest rates to levels considered too low
compared to other available instruments.

The purchasing of "pools" of loans can result in a higher level of risk due to
the Company not fully controlling the origination process. Efforts taken to
mitigate the additional risk include a due diligence process prior to the actual
purchase. This process typically encompasses a review of the payment histories
as well as an analysis of the



                                       13
<PAGE>

geographic concentration of the loans contained in the package. It also includes
the individual re-underwriting of the loan file and verification of collateral
value on a sample of loans.

LOAN ORIGINATION, SERVICING AND OTHER FEES

In addition to interest earned on loans, the Company receives income through
fees in connection with loan originations, loan sales, loan modifications, late
payments and for miscellaneous services related to its loans, including loan
servicing. Income from these activities varies from period to period with the
volume and type of loans originated.

In connection with the origination of mortgage loans, the Company typically
charges fees for processing and closing loans in addition to requiring borrower
reimbursement of out-of-pocket fees for costs associated with obtaining
independent appraisals, credit reports, title insurance, flood determination and
other items. The Company also may charge points for the origination of loans in
exchange for a lower interest rate on the loan itself. However, with the
availability of zero point mortgage loans in recent years, most borrowers
typically accept a slightly higher interest rate and pay zero points. A borrower
pays commitment fees at the time of a loan commitment, whereas the origination
and discount fees are paid at the time of closing. Commitment fees are
periodically collected on commercial real estate or multi-family mortgage loans
but are rarely collected as part of the origination of one- to four-family
mortgage loans.

DELINQUENCIES, NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND CLASSIFIED ASSETS

DELINQUENT LOANS

When a borrower fails to make a required payment by the end of the month in
which the payment is due, the Company generally initiates collection procedures.
The Company will send a late notice, and in most cases, delinquencies are cured
promptly. However, if a loan has been delinquent for more than 60 days, the
Company contacts the borrower directly, to attempt to determine the reason for
the delinquency and to effect a cure, and where it believes appropriate, reviews
the condition of the property and the financial position of the borrower. At
that time the Company may (i) accept a repayment program for the arrearage; (ii)
seek evidence of efforts by the borrower to sell the property; (iii) request a
deed in lieu of foreclosure; or (iv) initiate foreclosure proceedings. When a
loan, secured by a mortgage, is delinquent for three or more monthly installment
periods, the Company generally will initiate foreclosure proceedings. With
respect to delinquencies on FHA, VA or other governmental loan program mortgage
loans, the Company follows the appropriate notification and foreclosure
procedures prescribed by the respective agencies.

On mortgage loans or loan participations purchased by the Company, the Company
receives monthly reports from its loan servicers with which it monitors the loan
portfolio. Based upon servicing agreements with the servicers of the loans, the
Company relies upon the servicers to contact delinquent borrowers, collect
delinquent amounts and initiate foreclosure proceedings, when necessary, all in
accordance with applicable laws, regulations and the terms of the servicing
agreements between the Company and its servicing agents.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of Company
management, the probability of collection of principal or interest is deemed
insufficient to warrant further accrual of interest. Assuming no significant
mitigating circumstances, the Company discontinues the accrual of interest on
loans when the borrower is delinquent as to a contractually due principal or
interest payment by 90 days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
all of the accrued interest on it is reversed by way of a charge to interest
income. Interest income is recorded on nonaccrual loans when cash payments of
interest are received. The accrual of interest on a nonaccrual loan is resumed
when the loan is brought to less than 90 days delinquent unless management
believes the collection of the outstanding loan principal and contractually due
interest is in doubt.

Property acquired by the Company as a result of a foreclosure or by deed in lieu
of foreclosure is classified as foreclosed property. Foreclosed property is
recorded at the lower of the unpaid principal balance of the related loan or the
fair market value of the real estate acquired less the estimated costs to sell
the real estate. The amount by which the recorded loan balance exceeds the fair
market value of the real estate acquired less the estimated costs to sell the
real estate is charged against the allowance for loan losses at the date title
is received. Any subsequent reduction in the carrying value of a foreclosed
property, along with expenses incurred to maintain or dispose of a foreclosed
property, is charged against current earnings. At September 30, 2001, the
Company had five loans classified as foreclosed property with a total combined
carrying value of $401,000.



                                       14
<PAGE>

Non-performing loans include loans placed on nonaccrual status and accruing
loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal and
interest payments. For all years presented, the Company has had no troubled debt
restructurings (which involve forgiving a portion of interest or principal on
any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than that of market rates).
Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and foreclosed properties.

Non-performing assets at September 30, 2001 and 2000 included a commercial loan
credit with an outstanding balance of $5.1 million and $10.0 million,
respectively. The credit was added to non-accrual status during the quarter
ended September 30, 2000. The Company is a participant with other financial
institutions in a credit facility to a company in the food industry. During
fiscal year 2001, the balance of the commercial loan credit was reduced by a
$3.5 million charge-off and by the receipt of $1.4 million in payments applied
to principal. During December 2000, the participating bank group entered into a
forbearance agreement with the borrower, which was extended in February 2001 and
May 2001. The second extension period expired on July 31, 2001. On November 5,
2001, the credit facility completed a debt and equity restructuring. As part of
this restructuring, the Company received a cash payment from the borrower,
entered into a new secured term loan with the borrower (as a participant bank),
and received unregistered shares of the borrower's common stock. Management has
taken the current known status about this credit into account in establishing
its allowance for loan losses and in the level of provision taken in the year
ended September 30, 2001.

CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS

Federal regulations require that each insured financial institution classify its
assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of
insured institutions by regulatory authorities, regulatory examiners have
authority to identify problem assets as "Substandard," "Doubtful" or "Loss."
Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by
the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the
deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of
Substandard assets, with the additional characteristics that the weaknesses make
collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts,
conditions and values, questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An
asset classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value
that continuance as an asset of the Company is not warranted. Assets



                                       15
<PAGE>

classified as Substandard or Doubtful require the Company to establish prudent
general allowances for loan losses. Assets classified as Loss must either be
charged off or must have a specific allowance established for 100% of the asset
classified as a Loss. At September 30, 2001, the Company had assets classified
as Substandard of $13.5 million, $1.3 million classified as Doubtful, and
$466,000 classified as Loss. The Substandard classification includes the
aforementioned $5.1 commercial loan credit. See "Non-Performing Assets" for a
further discussion of this credit. The FDIC examination policies also include a
"Special Mention" category, consisting of assets which currently do not expose
the Company to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant adverse classification,
but do possess credit deficiencies deserving management's close attention. At
September 30, 2001, $11.5 million of the Company's assets were classified as
Special Mention.

Except for the aforementioned loans included in non-performing assets, the
classified assets principally consist of residential mortgage, consumer loans,
commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and foreclosed properties. None
of these remaining classified assets are considered to represent either
individually or in the aggregate any material loss to the Company; however, such
risk has been considered in establishing the allowance for loan losses.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Under federal regulations, when an insured institution classifies problem assets
as either Substandard or Doubtful, it is required to establish general
allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management. In
addition to general valuation allowances, the Company may establish specific
loss reserves against specific assets in which a loss is expected to be
realized. General allowances represent loss allowances that have been
established to recognize the inherent risks associated with lending activities,
but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to recognize
losses on particular problem assets. The Company's determination as to its
classification of assets and the amount of its specific and general valuation
allowances are subject to review by the Company's regulators which can order the
establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

The allowance for loan losses is a material estimate that is particularly
susceptible to significant changes in the near term and is established through a
provision for loan losses. The allowance is based upon past loan loss experience
and other factors, which in management's judgement, deserve current recognition
in estimating loan losses. The evaluation includes a review of all loans on
which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured. Such other factors
considered by management include the size and character of the loan portfolio,
concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic
conditions and historical losses on each portfolio category. In connection with
the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains
independent appraisals for significant properties which collateralize loans.
With respect to loans that are deemed impaired, the calculation of allowance for
loan losses is based upon the discounted present value of expected cash flows
received from the debtor or other measures of market prices or collateral
values.

In general, the level of the allowance for loan losses and changes during each
fiscal year is a function of several factors, including but not limited to
changes in the loan portfolio, net charge-offs and non-performing loans. At
September 30, 2001, gross loans receivable were $1.33 billion compared to $1.37
billion at September 30, 2000. Net charge-offs for fiscal 2001 increased to $4.2
million compared to $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2000.
Non-performing loans decreased to $10.7 million or 0.77% of gross loans at
September 30, 2001 compared to $13.0 million or 0.95% of gross loans at
September 30, 2000.

In fiscal 2001, the Company recorded a specific loan loss provision of $2.5
million related to a commercial loan credit that has been in non-performing
status since September 2000. After consideration of specific reserves already
established for the loan, the Company felt the provision was appropriate given
the current known status of the credit. At September 30, 2001, the commercial
loan had a balance of $5.1 million and an associated impairment reserve of
$513,000. During the year ended September 30, 2001, the balance of the
commercial loan credit was reduced by a $3.5 million charge-off and by the
receipt of $1.4 million in payments. (For further information regarding this
particular commercial credit see "Non-Performing Assets").

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2001 is
adequate to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio. Management believes it uses
the best information available to make such determinations. If circumstances
differ substantially from the assumptions used in making determinations, future
adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of
operations could be affected. While the Company believes it has established its
existing allowance for loan losses in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, there can be no assurance
that regulators, in reviewing the Bank's loan portfolio, will not request an
increase in the allowance for loan losses. Because future events affecting the



                                       16
<PAGE>

borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no
assurance that increases to the allowance will not be necessary should the
quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of factors discussed herein.

Management is aware of no material loans where serious doubts exist as to the
ability of the borrower to comply with the loan terms, except for the single
commercial loan credit previously discussed. The increase in fiscal 2001 in the
provision for loan losses and commercial charge-offs is primarily attributable
to the aforementioned commercial loan credit.

The allocation methodology applied by the Company, designed to assess the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, focuses on changes in the size and
character of the loan portfolio, changes in the level of impaired and
non-performing loans, the risk inherent in specific loans, concentrations of
loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions, and
historical losses on each portfolio category. Due to the fact each of the
criteria used is subject to change, the allocation of the allowance for loan
losses is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the
trend of future loan losses in any particular loan category. The total allowance
is available to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio. Management
allocates the allowance for loan losses by product line for both performing and
non-performing loans based on historical loss experience. In addition to the
above assessment of general reserves, the Company also may establish specific
valuation allowances. Specific valuation allowances are established for specific
loans with probable loss exposure, based on the expected net realizable value.
Estimates of credit losses reflects consideration of all significant factors
that affect collectibility of the loan as of the evaluation date. Based upon the
above evaluation process, the Company calculates an allowance requirement which
is compared to the actual allowance outstanding.

The allocation methods used for September 30, 2001 and 2000 were generally
consistent. For 2001, the amount allocated to commercial loans decreased to 25%
of the allowance for loan losses compared to 32% in the prior year. The decrease
was a function of changes in the commercial loan portfolio including, a decrease
in the category gross loan balance, a decrease in the amount of loans in
non-performing status in fiscal 2001 compared to the prior year (66% versus 89%,
respectively) and a decrease in the amount of these loans in criticized loan
categories for which specific allocations were made for fiscal 2001 compared to
fiscal 2000. Although the amount allocated to commercial loans was relatively
unchanged, this was partially due to specific provisions being offset by
charge-offs within that category during fiscal 2001. (For further information
see "Non-Performing Assets"). For 2001, the amount allocated to total mortgage
loans increased to 60% of the allowance for loan losses compared to 53% in the
prior year. The increase was a function of an increase in the amount of loans in
non-performing status in fiscal 2001 compared to the prior year and an increase
in the amount of these loans in criticized loan categories for which specific
allocations were made for fiscal 2001 compared to fiscal 2000.

The following table shows the Company's total allowance for loan losses and the
allocation to the various categories of loans at the dates indicated.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

GENERAL

The investment policy of the Company is designed primarily to provide and
maintain required liquidity, generate a favorable return on investments without
incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and complement the Company's
lending activities. The Company's investment policy permits investment in
various types of liquid assets permissible under Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") regulations, which include U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of
various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposits of insured banks and
savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances and the purchase of federal
funds. The Company also invests in corporate debt and equity securities,
asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities ("MBSs") and collateralized
repurchase agreements, municipal securities, mortgage mutual funds,
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), real estate mortgage investment
conduits ("REMICs"), interest-only stripped securities ("IOs"), principal-only
stripped securities ("POs") and CMO residuals. At the time of purchase, all of
the Company's investments are investment grade as rated by at least one of the
major rating agencies.

The Company determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time
of purchase based on regulatory and accounting guidelines. The Company has
incorporated the requirements of those guidelines into the Company's investment
policy and has categorized its investments in three separate categories: (i)
Held to Maturity: debt and mortgage-backed and related securities are classified
as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold
the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized
cost; (ii) Available for Sale: debt and mortgage-backed and related securities
not classified as held to maturity, or trading and marketable equity securities
not classified as trading are classified as available for sale. Available for
sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains or losses,
net of tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity and
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); and (iii) Trading: the Company
maintains a separate portfolio of assets which are carried at market value and
have been acquired for short term/trading purposes, to enhance the Company's
financial results, with unrealized gains or losses recognized in current income.

MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES

Mortgage-backed securities represent a participation interest in a pool of
single-family or multi-family mortgage loans, the principal and interest
payments on which are passed from the mortgage loan originators through
intermediaries that pool and repackage the participation interest in the form of
securities for sale to investors such as the Company. Such intermediaries which
guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors can be



                                       19
<PAGE>

government sponsored enterprises such as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC"), FNMA and Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), or
private mortgage security conduits. Mortgage-backed securities issued by
government sponsored enterprises generally increase the quality of the Company's
assets by virtue of the guarantees that back them and generally are more liquid
than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize borrowings or
other obligations of the Company.

When purchased by the Company, these securities have credit ratings of A or
better and meet the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
definition of low-risk securities. At September 30, 2001, private-issue
mortgage-backed securities, CMOs and REMICs totaled $603.3 million, 98% of which
had a credit rating of AAA and 2% of which had a credit rating of AA. At
September 30, 2000, private-issue mortgage-backed securities, CMOs and REMICs
totaled $624.1 million, 97% of which had a credit rating of AAA and, 3% of which
had a credit rating of AA.

The Company continued to reduce the amount of its mortgage-backed securities
portfolio during the year ended September 30, 2001, and management anticipates
that this type of balance sheet restructuring will be an ongoing strategic
initiative of the Company in fiscal 2002. During fiscal 2001, the Company
reduced the size of the mortgage-backed securities and investment securities
portfolios from $1.0 billion at September 30, 2000 to $754.0 million at
September 30, 2001. The reduction in the portfolios was accomplished through
repayments of principal, scheduled maturities and sales during fiscal 2001. The
Company used the funds generated from the reduction in the mortgage-backed
securities and investment securities portfolios to fund the growth in the loan
portfolio, to reduce the Company's wholesale debt and as an additional source of
liquidity.

At September 30, 2001, the aggregate securities of any single issuer (excluding
securities of the U.S. government and U.S. government agencies and corporations)
did not exceed 10% of the Company's shareholders' equity.

COMPOSITION OF THE COMPANY'S MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

Held to Maturity. At September 30, 2001, the Company held $95.4 million in its
mortgage-backed and related securities held to maturity portfolio. The estimated
market value of those securities at that date was $96.2 million. Of this amount,
at September 30, 2001, 90% were fixed rate REMIC securities and 10% were fixed
rate GNMA securities. At September 30, 2001, the mortgage-backed and related
securities held to maturity portfolio represented 4.3% of the Company's total
assets compared to $27.1 million or 1.1% of total assets at September 30, 2000.

Under SFAS No. 133, the Company was allowed a one-time opportunity to reclassify
investment assets from held to maturity to available for sale. The Company
reclassified all municipal securities held to maturity upon the adoption of FAS
133 to available for sale. The amortized cost and fair value of the securities
transferred was $510,000 and $522,000, respectively, at October 1, 2000. During
the quarter ended March 31, 2001, all municipal securities held by the Company
were sold.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the amortized cost,
weighted average yields and maturities of the Company's mortgage-backed and
related securities held to maturity at September 30, 2001.

structure or levels of collateral underlying the securities that should protect
the Company's position in the securities, private issue securities represent an
additional level of credit risk when compared with agency issue securities.

Trading. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company did not have any securities
in its trading portfolio. The trading portfolio of the Company has typically
carried various mortgage-backed or related securities that are purchased for
short-term trading profits or securities that are required to be classified as
such by regulatory definition. The Company may from time to time originate
mortgage loans which are swapped for mortgage-backed securities backed by the
original loans. These securities are classified as trading securities by the
Company as it is the Company's intent to sell those securities over a short
period of time.

OTHER SECURITIES

The Company invests in various types of investment-grade quality liquid assets
that are permissible investments for federally chartered savings associations,
including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies,
certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions,
federal funds and, from time to time, repurchase agreements. Subject to various
restrictions applicable to all federally chartered savings associations, the
Company also invests its assets in commercial paper, investment grade corporate
debt securities, municipal securities, asset-backed securities and mutual funds,
the assets of which conform to the investments the Company is otherwise
authorized to make directly. Debt securities are classified as either available
for sale or held to maturity at the time of purchase, and carried at market
value if available for sale or at amortized cost if held to maturity.

COMPOSITION OF THE COMPANY'S DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

Held to Maturity. At September 30, 2001, the Company did not have any debt and
equity securities held to maturity.

Available for Sale. At September 30, 2001, the Company had debt and equity
securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $41.6 million and an
estimated market value of $41.7 million. Of the total amount, $36.1 million were
U.S. Treasury or agency obligations and $5.6 million were marketable equity
securities, primarily shares of mutual funds invested in bank or thrift eligible
securities.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACTIVITIES

The Company, through the Bank's subsidiary St. Francis Equity Properties, Inc.
("SFEP"), invests in affordable housing properties throughout the State of
Wisconsin. The properties qualify for tax credits under Section 42 of the
Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). Typically, SFEP will commit to the equity
funding of a specific property that a developer has submitted to WHEDA for
approval and received. The developer then builds the property, generally with
financing from the Bank, with final equity funding from SFEP coming at the
completion of construction. Each property is structured as a limited liability
partnership ("LLP") or limited liability corporation ("LLC"), with SFEP being a
98% or 99% partner or member in each individual LLP or LLC.

The financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of each LLP or LLC
is consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The operations of the
properties are not expected to contribute significantly to the Company's net
income before income taxes. However, the properties do contribute in the form of
income tax credits, which lower the Company's effective tax rate. Once
established, the credits on each property last for ten years and are passed
through from the LLP or LLC to SFEP and reduce the consolidated federal tax
liability of the Company. Gross revenues of SFEP were $3.0 million, $3.0 million
and $3.7 million for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999
respectively. Gross expenses of SFEP were $3.1 million, $3.2 million and $3.8
million for each of the three years, respectively. The net operating loss of
SFEP results in an income tax benefit which is then increased by the income tax
credits which totaled $2.6 million, $2.6 million and $3.0 million for the years
ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

At September 30, 2001, the amount invested in affordable housing projects was
$26.3 million compared with $27.1 million at September 30, 2000. SFEP was an
equity partner in 12 projects in each of those years. During the year ended
September 30, 1999, the Company realized gains of $1.2 million on the sale of 13
affordable housing projects which had been classified as real estate held for
sale at September 30, 1998. The Company's decision to dispose of several
properties was the result of a review of its consolidated federal tax return.
Under the alternative minimum tax rules, the Company was carrying forward tax
credits that it had not utilized on its tax return. Although all tax credits
were expected to be used before their expiration, sale of the properties allowed
the Company to utilize tax credits sooner on its consolidated federal tax
return. At September 30, 2001, the Company



                                       22
<PAGE>

was able to utilize all current year tax credits as well as the tax credit
carryforward of $4.8 million from the year ended September 30, 2000.

The primary risk to the Company's results of operations from the affordable
housing investments involves the maintenance of the tax credits. The Company has
instituted several procedures which it believes will result in the maintenance
of the tax credits. Those procedures include an outside audit of the individual
LLP or LLC, including tenant compliance records, an outside audit of the
original development costs, review of the LLP or LLC and tenant compliance
records by the Company's staff, and a review of audit and compliance records of
the LLP or LLC performed by WHEDA. The Company believes that it has maintained
compliance on all of its properties and that through September 30, 2001, no
income tax credits are at risk. Other risks of the affordable housing
investments include the risks common to the owning and operating of apartment
units.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

GENERAL

The Company's primary sources of funds for use in lending, investing and for
other general purposes are deposits, including brokered deposits, proceeds from
principal and interest payment on loans, mortgage-backed and related securities
and debt and equity securities, FHLB advances, and to a lesser extent, reverse
repurchase agreements. Loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds,
while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are significantly
influenced by general market interest rates and economic conditions. Borrowings
may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for seasonal or other reductions
in normal sources of funds or for deposit inflows at less than projected levels,
or they also may be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending or
investment activities. The Company utilizes advances from the FHLB and reverse
repurchase agreements as sources for its borrowings. At September 30, 2001 and
2000, the Company had advances from the FHLB of $513.4 million or 25.1% of total
liabilities, and $532.0 million or 22.5% of total liabilities, respectively. At
September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had reverse repurchase agreements
outstanding of zero and $246.0 million or 10.4% of total liabilities,
respectively. Of the Company's outstanding FHLB advances at September 30, 2001,
$440.0 million will mature or may be called before September 30, 2002.

DEPOSITS

The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a range of interest
rates and terms. The Company's deposits principally consist of demand accounts
(checking and money market demand accounts), passbook, and certificates of
deposit. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic
conditions, changes in prevailing interest rates and competition. The Company's
deposits are obtained primarily from the areas in which its branches are
located, and the Company relies principally on customer service, marketing
programs and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and retain
these deposits. Various types of advertising and promotions to attract and
retain deposit accounts also are used. Deposit promotions may involve the use of
specific advertising for a type of deposit or it may include some form of
pricing incentive: either a deposit product with a higher rate than currently
offered by most competitors in the Company's market area, or a temporary pricing
concession for a limited period of time. The Company also uses brokered deposits
as a funding source for its business activities. The brokered deposits are used
to fund the general operating activities of the Company. At September 30, 2001,
the Company had $224.4 million of brokered deposits, representing 15.5% of total
deposits, compared to $341.3 million or 23.2% of total deposits at September 30,
2000. Maturities of brokered certificates range from 36 days to 7.62 years and
include certificates that are callable at the option of the Company. The average
maturity of brokered deposits was 39 months at September 30, 2001 and 67 months
at September 30, 2000. The Company has used brokered deposits to fund
operational activities when such funds offer a better or quicker funding source
than retail deposits or FHLB advances.

Management monitors the Company's certificate accounts and, based on historical
experience, management believes it will retain a large portion of such accounts
upon maturity. However, management believes that the likelihood for retention of
brokered certificates of deposit is more a function of the rate paid on such
accounts as compared to retail deposits which may be established due to branch
location or other intangible reasons. Management considers Company
profitability, the matching of term lengths with assets, the attractiveness to
customers and rates offered by competitors in deposit offerings and promotions.
The Company has been competitive in the types of accounts and interest rates it
has offered on its deposit products. The Company intends to continue its efforts
to attract deposits as a primary source of funds for supporting its lending and
investing activities.

of deposit, net of brokered deposits, in amounts of $100,000 or more maturing as

BORROWINGS AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

Although deposits are the Company's largest source of funds, the Company's
policy has been to utilize borrowings as an alternative or less costly source of
funds. The primary source of borrowing is advances from the FHLB which are
collateralized by the capital stock of the FHLB held by the Company and certain
of its mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and related securities. Such advances
are made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its
own interest rate and range of maturities. The maximum amount the FHLB will
advance to member institutions for purposes other than meeting withdrawals
fluctuates from time to time in accordance with policies of the OTS and the
FHLB. At September 30, 2001, the Company's FHLB advances totaled $513.4 million,
representing 25.1% of total liabilities, a decrease from the $532.0 million
outstanding at September 30, 2000. At September 30, 2001, the Company had
additional borrowing capacity of $258.0 million from the FHLB; however,
additional securities may have to be pledged as collateral and additional FHLB
stock may have to be purchased.

Of the Company's outstanding FHLB advances at September 30, 2001, $440.0 million
will mature or may be called before September 30, 2002. Included in the amount
maturing within one year are $420.0 million of convertible fixed rate advances
("CFA" or "CFAs"). A CFA is an advance that allows the FHLB to demand repayment
prior to the stated maturity date of the advance in accordance with its
contractual terms. In the event interest rates rise, the FHLB will more than
likely exercise its right to demand repayment of the CFA. In that case, the Bank
will have the option of seeking alternative funding arrangements, if necessary,
which may be to enter into another CFA at the then prevailing interest rates or
entering into other funding arrangements. At September 30, 2001, the $420.0
million of outstanding CFAs have a maturity of four to ten years and are
puttable by the FHLB during the next fiscal year and quarterly thereafter.

The Company also utilizes reverse repurchase agreements as a funding source. A
reverse repurchase agreement is a transaction between the Company and a broker
whereby the Company borrows money against a specific asset, generally a
mortgage-backed and related security, for a set interest rate for a specified
term. The reverse repurchase agreements generally have terms of 30 to 60 days.
At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had zero and $246.0 million,
respectively, of reverse repurchase agreements.

The Company's borrowings from time to time include Federal funds purchased. At
September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had $16.8 million and $45.0 million,
respectively, of Federal funds purchased.

In fiscal 1997, the Company established a line of credit with a third party
lending institution for purposes of funding corporate activities of the Company.
These typically include dividends, share repurchases and acquisitions. Dividends
received from the Bank are used as the primary source of cash to pay principal
and interest on the line of credit. The line of credit has a maximum borrowing
amount of $40.0 million and is collateralized by the stock of the Bank. At
September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had $36.0 million outstanding in each
year on the line of credit.

While increases in borrowings and changes in the collateralization levels due to
market interest rate changes could require the Company to add collateral to
secure its borrowings, the Company does not anticipate having a shortage of
qualified collateral to pledge against its borrowings.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, the Bank had four wholly owned
subsidiaries: SF Insurance Services Corporation ("SF Insurance"), St. Francis
Equity Properties, Inc. ("SFEP"), SF Investment Corporation ("SF Investment")
and St. Francis Mortgage Corporation ("SF Mortgage").

SF Insurance. SF Insurance is a Wisconsin corporation and offers fixed
annuities, indexed annuities, life insurance, disability income and survivorship
life sold exclusively through licensed agents who also are employees of the
Bank. The Bank is reimbursed by SF Insurance for administration and sales
services provided by the Bank to SF Insurance. At September 30, 2001, the Bank's
total investment in SF Insurance was approximately $319,000, and SF Insurance's
assets of $350,000 consisted primarily of cash.

SFEP. SFEP is a Wisconsin corporation incorporated in February 1993 to own,
operate and develop multi-family rental property, either as a limited partner or
through other ownership status, for investment and subsequent resale. Properties
include projects for low-to-moderate income housing, which would qualify for tax
credits under Section 42 of the Code. SFEP is currently a limited partner in 12
projects within the state of Wisconsin. Additionally, the Bank has provided
financing to all of the projects. However, the primary return to the Company on
these projects is in the form of tax credits earned over the first ten years of
the projects life. At September 30, 2001, the Bank



                                       26
<PAGE>

had loans outstanding to such projects of $13.4 million. At September 30, 2001,
the Bank's total investment in SFEP was approximately $8.3 million and SFEP's
assets of $28.3 million consisted primarily of its interests in the properties
developed. See "-Affordable Housing Activities."

SF Investment. SF Investment is a company incorporated in Nevada for the purpose
of managing a portion of the Bank's investment portfolio. At September 30, 2001,
the Bank's total investment in SF Investment was approximately $399.5 million
and the assets consisted primarily of mortgage-backed and related securities.

SF Mortgage. SF Mortgage is a Wisconsin corporation with an office in Illinois
that is in the business of purchasing loans originated by mortgage brokers in
the Midwest and then selling these loans to various investors. At September 30,
2001, the Bank's total investment in SF Mortgage was approximately $544,000, and
SF Mortgage's assets of $6.9 million consisted primarily of mortgage loans held
for sale.

PERSONNEL

As of September 30, 2001, the Company had 392 full-time employees and 142
part-time employees. The employees of the Company are not represented by a
collective bargaining unit and the Company believes its relationship with its
employees to be good.

TAXATION

GENERAL

The following discussion of tax matters is intended to be a summary of the
material tax rules applicable to the Company and does not purport to be a
comprehensive description of all applicable tax rules.

CORPORATE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX

From time to time the Company may be subject to alternative minimum tax on its
corporate income tax returns. The alternative minimum tax is calculated at a
rate of 20% on alternative minimum taxable income as defined in the Internal
Revenue code. The Company's actual tax payment is then based on the higher of
its regular tax liability or its alternative minimum tax.

DISTRIBUTIONS

To the extent that (i) the Company's reserve for losses on qualifying real
property loans exceeds the amount that would have been allowed under an
experience method and (ii) the Company makes "non-dividend distributions" to
shareholders that are considered to result in distributions from the excess bad
debt reserve or the supplemental reserve for losses on loans ("Excess
Distributions"), then an amount based on the amount distributed will be included
in the Company's taxable income. Non-dividend distributions include
distributions in excess of the Company's current and accumulated earnings and
profits, distributions in redemption of stock and distributions in partial or
complete liquidation. However, dividends paid out of the Company's current or
accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes,
will not be considered to result in a distribution from the Company's bad debt
reserves.

The amount of additional taxable income created from an Excess Distribution is
an amount that when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to
the amount of the distribution. Thus, if certain portions of the Bank's
accumulated tax bad debt reserve are used for any purpose other than to absorb
qualified bad debt loans, such as for the payment of dividends or other
distributions with respect to the Company's capital stock (including
distributions upon redemption or liquidation), approximately one and one-half
times the amount so used would be includable in gross income for federal income
tax purposes, assuming a 35% corporate income tax rate (exclusive of state
taxes). See "-Regulation," below for limits on the payment of dividends of the
Bank and the Company.

STATE TAXATION

The State of Wisconsin imposes a tax on the Wisconsin taxable income of
corporations, including savings institutions, at the rate of 7.9%. The State of
Illinois imposes a replacement tax and income tax on the Illinois taxable income
of corporations at the rates of 2.5% and 4.8%, respectively.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

References in this section to applicable laws and regulations are brief
summaries only. All such summaries are qualified in their entirety by the
applicable laws and regulations, which you should consult to understand their
details and operation.

GENERAL

The Company is a unitary thrift holding company registered with and subject to
regulation by the OTS under the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, as amended (the
"HOLA"). The Company is required to file certain reports and otherwise comply
with the rules and regulations of the OTS and the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") under the federal securities laws. The Bank, as a
federally-chartered savings bank, is subject to regulatory oversight by its
primary regulator, the OTS. As an insured-depository institution the Bank is
also subject to oversight by the FDIC. In addition, the Bank is subject to
certain limited regulation by the Federal Reserve Board.

HOLDING COMPANY REGULATIONS

The Company is subject to examination by the OTS, which could take enforcement
action if it determined that the Company's actions presented a risk to the
safety, soundness, or stability of the Bank. OTS approval is required before the
Company or any other person may acquire control of more than 5% of the voting
shares of another institution whose deposits are insured by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. (See "New Financial Services
Act" below for further applicable regulation).

REGULATION OF FEDERAL SAVINGS BANKS

The OTS has extensive regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority over the
operations of the Bank and its affiliated parties. This regulation and
supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which the
entities can engage, is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance
fund and depositors, and addresses various issues including, but not limited to,
insurance of deposits, capital requirements, and community reinvestment
requirements. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities
extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement
activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the
classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss reserves
for regulatory purposes.

The Bank is required to file periodic reports with the OTS Regional Director and
is subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC. When these
examinations are conducted, examiners may, among other things, require the Bank
to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves or write down the
value of certain assets. The last regular examination by the OTS was in March
2001.

ASSESSMENTS

Savings institutions are required by OTS regulations to pay assessments to the
OTS to fund the operations of the OTS. The general assessment, paid on a
semiannual basis, is computed upon the savings institution's total assets,
including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in the institution's latest
quarterly Thrift Financial Report. The Bank's OTS assessment for the three month
period ended June 30, 2001 was $137,000, based on Bank assets as of March 31,
2001 of $2.3 billion and the current OTS assessment rate.

QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER REQUIREMENT

In order for the Bank to exercise the powers granted to SAIF-insured
institutions and maintain full access to FHLB advances, it must qualify as a
qualified thrift lender ("QTL"). Under the HOLA and OTS regulations, a savings
institution is required to maintain a level of qualified thrift investments
equal to at least 65% of its "portfolio assets" (as defined by statute) on a
monthly basis for nine out of 12 months per calendar year. Qualified thrift
investments for purposes of the QTL test consist primarily of the residential
mortgages and related investments. As of September 30, 2001, the Company
maintained 83.2% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and
therefore met the QTL test.

NEW FINANCIAL SERVICES ACT

On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the "Financial
Services Modernization Act" or "Act") was signed into law. The new law does a
number of things intended to increase competition in the financial services
area, including repealing sections of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act so that
financial firms, such as banks, securities and insurance firms can affiliate
with each other, through the formation of financial holding companies. The Act
appoints the Federal Reserve as the "umbrella" regulator for such entities. The
Act also restricts the chartering and transferring of unitary thrift holding
companies, although it does not restrict the operations of



                                       28
<PAGE>

unitary holding companies which were in existence prior to May 4, 1999, and
which continue to meet the test and control only a single savings institution.
Since the Company was treated as a unitary holding company prior to May 4, 1999
and is in compliance with the QTL test, the Act will not prohibit it from
engaging in nonfinancial activities or acquiring nonfinancial subsidiaries;
however, the Act would restrict any nonfinancial entity from acquiring the
Company, unless that entity was, or had submitted an application to become, a
unitary savings and loan holding company prior to May 4, 1999. The Act provided
a number of consumer protections, including provisions aimed at protecting the
privacy of consumer information. Many of the Act's provisions, including those
pertaining to consumer privacy, require regulatory action, including the
promulgation of regulations, to become effective. The regulation implementing
the Act's consumer privacy requirements became effective July 1, 2001, requiring
among other things that the Bank (i) provide new customers with a notice
explaining their privacy rights at the time they become customers, (ii) provide
an initial privacy rights notice to existing customers, (iii) provide an annual
privacy rights notice to all continuing customers, (iv) implement internal
privacy safeguards, and (v) not disclose protected information to any
unaffiliated third party (except as required to effect, administer or enforce a
transaction requested by the customer or certain other limited exceptions)
without first giving the customer the option to elect not to allow such
disclosure. The Bank does not believe that compliance with the new consumer
privacy provisions will have a significant impact on its business. It is too
early to assess the eventual impact of the Act or other implementing regulations
on the financial services industry in general or on the specific operations of
the Company and the Bank.

INSURANCE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS

The bank is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation maintains a risk-based assessment system
by which institutions are assigned to one of three categories based on their
capitalization and one of three subcategories based on examination ratings and
other supervisory information. An institution's assessment rate depends upon the
categories to which it is assigned. Assessment rates for insured institutions
are determined semiannually by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
currently range from zero basis points for the healthiest institutions to 27
basis points for the riskiest.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to increase insurance
assessments and is required under federal law to establish assessment rates that
will maintain the insurance fund's ratio of reserves to insured deposits at
$1.25 per $100. The SAIF currently meets that requirement, although a failure to
do so in the future might result in an increase in SAIF insurance premiums which
could, depending on the size of such increase, have an adverse effect on the
operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. Management cannot
predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound
practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has
violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Management of the Bank is not aware of any practice, condition or violation that
might lead to termination of deposit insurance.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

OTS REGULATION

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the OTS capital
regulations require savings institutions to meet two capital standards: (i)
"tier 1 core capital" in an amount not less than 4% of adjusted total assets and
(ii) "risk-based capital" of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets. Savings
institutions must meet both standards to comply with the capital requirements.

COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT

Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the "CRA"), a
depository institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent
with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire
community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not
establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions
nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products
and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community,
consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the federal regulators to assess the
institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take
such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications from such
institution. The CRA also requires all institutions to make public disclosure of
their CRA ratings and requires an institution's primary regulator to provide a
written evaluation of an institution's performance. The Bank's latest CRA
rating, received in April 2001, was "Satisfactory."

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM

The Federal Home Loan Bank System, consisting of 12 FHLBs, is under the
jurisdiction of the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB"). The designated
duties of the FHFB are to supervise the FHLBs; ensure that the FHLBs carry out
their housing finance mission; ensure that the FHLBs remain adequately
capitalized and able to raise funds in the capital market; and ensure that the
FHLBs operate in a safe and sound manner.

Members of the FHLB-Chicago are required to acquire and hold shares of capital
stock in the FHLB-Chicago in an amount equal to 1% of their aggregate
outstanding principal amount of residential mortgage loans, home purchase
contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each year. Further, at no
time shall advances (borrowings) from the FHLB-Chicago exceed 20 times the
amount paid by such member for FHLB-Chicago capital stock. The Bank is in
compliance with these requirements with a total investment in FHLB-Chicago stock
of $30.4 million at September 30, 2001.

Among other benefits, the FHLBs provide a central credit facility primarily for
member institutions and make advances to members in accordance with policies and
procedures established by the FHFB and the Board of Directors of the
FHLB-Chicago. At September 30, 2001, the Bank had $513.4 million in advances
from the FHLB-Chicago. See "Business of the Company."

RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

Regulation D, promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"), imposes reserve
requirements on all depository institutions which maintain transaction accounts
or non-personal time deposits. Checking accounts, NOW



                                       30
<PAGE>

accounts and certain other types of accounts that permit payments or transfers
to third parties fall within the definition of transaction accounts and are
subject to Regulation D reserve requirements, as are any non-personal time
deposits (including certain money market deposit accounts). Regulation D,
requires that a depository institution maintain average daily reserves equal to
3% on the first $46.5 million of transaction accounts. There is no reserve
requirement on non-personal deposits. In addition, the first $4.9 million of
otherwise reservable liabilities are exempt from the reserve requirement. The
Bank must reserve for transaction accounts in excess of $46.5 million in an
amount equal to 10% of such excess. These levels and percentages are subject to
adjustment by the FRB. As of September 30, 2001, the Bank was in compliance with
Regulation D reserve requirements.

OTHER FEDERAL LAWS

RESTRICTIONS ON LOANS TO INSIDERS

Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the
Federal Reserve Board establish limits on the total amount an institution may
lend to its executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders, and their
related interests (collectively referred to in this section as "insiders").
Generally, an insider may borrow an aggregate amount not exceeding 15% of the
institution's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus on an unsecured basis
and an additional 10% on a secured basis. The regulations limit, with certain
exceptions, the aggregate amount a depository institution may lend to its
insiders as a class to an amount not exceeding the institution's unimpaired
capital and unimpaired surplus.

Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to
insiders (a) be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow
credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those
prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not
involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable
features and (b) not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended
to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in
part, on the amount of the Bank's capital. In addition, extensions of credit in
excess of certain limits must be approved by the Bank's Board of Directors.
However, recent legislation permits the Bank to make loans to executive
officers, directors and principal stockholders on preferential terms, provided
the extension of credit is made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program of
the Bank that is widely available to employees of the Bank or its affiliates and
does not give preference to any insider over other employees of the Bank or
affiliate. It is a violation for an insider to knowingly receive, or permit a
related interest to receive, a loan that violates applicable regulations. The
Bank has not been significantly affected by such restrictions on loans to
insiders.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Bank is required to comply with Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve
Act ("Sections 23A and 23B") relative to transactions with affiliates.
Generally, Sections 23A and 23B limit the extent to which the insured
institution or its subsidiaries may engage in certain covered transactions with
an affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such institution's capital and
surplus, place an aggregate limit on all such transactions with affiliates to an
amount equal to 20% of such capital and surplus, and require that all such
transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the
institution or subsidiary, as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term
"covered transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance
of a guaranty and similar other types of transactions. Exemptions from 23A or
23B may be granted only by the FRB. The Company has not been significantly
affected by such restrictions on transactions with affiliates.

FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS

The Company's Common Stock is registered with the SEC under Section 12(g) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, under which the Company is subject to
various restrictions and requirements.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

service offices in residential retirement communities, three loan production
offices and a mortgage banking subsidiary based in Illinois. Eleven of the
full-service branches are located in Milwaukee County, five are in Waukesha
County, four are in Washington County, one in Ozaukee County, and one is in
Walworth County. Management believes the current facilities are adequate to meet
the present and immediately foreseeable needs of the Company. The total net book

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of
operations.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDER
MATTERS

The Company's common stock is currently being traded on the National Association
of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market System
over-the-counter exchange under the symbol of STFR. Information required by this
item is incorporated by reference to the "Quarterly financial information
(Unaudited)" shown in Note 22 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and
the "Earnings per share" Note 14 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.



                                       32

As of September 30, 2001, there were approximately 1,100 holders of record and
approximately 2,500 beneficial holders owning a total of 9,208,244 shares.

The Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.05 per share starting in November
1995 and has increased the dividend by $0.01 per share in each of the following
years through fiscal 2001. The dividend was increased $0.05 per share to $0.15
per share in November 2001. No dividends were paid prior to November 1995. The
Company executed a two-for-one stock split effective April 19, 1999. While there
can be no assurance of the payment of future dividends, the Company anticipates
that future dividends, if paid, would be paid on a quarterly basis in February,
May, August and November. Future payments of dividends will be subject to
determination and declaration by the Company's Board of Directors, which will
take into account the Company's financial condition, results of operations, tax
considerations, industry standards, economic conditions and other factors,
including regulatory restrictions which affect the payment of dividends by the
Company's subsidiaries to the Company.

On September 25, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a shareholders'
rights plan (the "Rights Plan"). Under the terms of the Rights Plan, the Board
of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each
outstanding share of common stock. Upon becoming exercisable, each right
entitles shareholders to buy one one-hundredth of a share of the Company's
preferred stock at an exercise price of $150. Rights do not become exercisable
until eleven business days after any person or group has acquired, commenced, or
announced its intention to commence a tender or exchange offer to acquire 15% or
more of the Company's common stock, or in the event a person or group owning 10%
or more of the Company's common stock is deemed to be "adverse" to the Company.
If the rights become exercisable, holders of each right, other than the
acquiror, upon payment of the exercise price, will have the right to purchase
the Company's common stock (in lieu of preferred shares) having a value equal to
two times the exercise price. If the Company is acquired in a merger, share
exchange or other business combination or 50% or more of its consolidated assets
or earning power are sold, rights holders, other than the acquiring or adverse
person or group, will be entitled to purchase the acquiror's shares at a similar
discount. If the rights become exercisable, the Company may also exchange
rights, other than those held by the acquiring or adverse person or group, in
whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of the Company's common
stock per right held. Rights are redeemable by the Company at any time until
they are exercisable at the exchange rate of $.01 per right. Issuance of the
rights has no immediate dilutive effect, does not currently affect reported
earnings per share, is not taxable to the Company or its shareholders, and will
not change the way in which the Company's shares are traded. The rights expire
ten years from the date of issuance.

On June 30, 2000, the Company announced a share repurchase program for its
common stock whereby the Company may purchase up to 5% of the outstanding common
stock, or approximately 485,000 shares, commencing June 30, 2000. The
repurchased shares became treasury shares and are to be used for the exercise of
stock options under the stock option plan and for general corporate purposes.
The share repurchase program was completed on September 20, 2001 at an average
price of $17.16 per share. This was the eleventh such repurchase program that
the Company has undertaken. At September 30, 2001, an aggregate of 6,969,704
shares had been repurchased in all such repurchase programs at an average price
of $13.44. On September 18, 2001, the Company announced a share repurchase
program for its common stock whereby the Company may purchase up to 5% of the
outstanding stock, or approximately 460,000 shares. The repurchase program
started on September 20, 2001. At September 30, 2001, 37,800 shares had been
repurchased at an average price of $20.68 per share.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The Company is a unitary thrift holding company engaged in the financial
services business serving southeastern Wisconsin through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, the Bank. In January 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of
the stock of Reliance Bancshares, Inc., which was subsequently merged into the
Bank.

The earnings of the Company depend on its level of net interest income and other
operating income offset by general and administrative expenses and the level of
low income housing credits. Net interest income is a function of the Company's
net interest spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on
interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, as well as a function of average ratio of interest-earning assets
as compared to interest-bearing liabilities. Other operating income consists
primarily of loan servicing fees, deposit charges, gains on sales of loans and
securities, income from the operation of affordable housing properties and
commissions on insurance, annuity and brokerage products. General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and benefits,
occupancy and equipment costs, expenses from operation of affordable housing
properties, data processing and advertising expenses. The Company's affordable
housing subsidiary generates tax credits which reduce the Company's federal
income tax expense.

The Company's operations include four strategic business segments: Retail
Banking, Commercial Banking, Mortgage Banking and Investments. Management
evaluates the financial performance of each segment primarily based on the
individual segments' direct contribution to the Company's net income.
Information regarding the net interest income, other operating income, profit
and average assets for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999
is set forth in Note 19 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company's operating results are significantly affected by general economic
conditions and the monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies of governmental
agencies. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of
housing, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the
availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds likewise are heavily
influenced by prevailing market rates of interest on competing investment
alternatives, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings
in the Company's market areas.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets at September 30, 2001 were $2.2 billion, a decrease of $286.8
million from $2.5 billion at September 30, 2000. The primary reason for the
decrease is the continuing restructuring of the balance sheet as the Company
continues to reduce the size of its mortgage-backed and related securities and
investment securities portfolios.

The restructuring of the balance sheet continues to be one of the strategic
initiatives of the Company. Throughout fiscal 2000 and 2001, the Company
continued to reduce the size of its mortgage-backed securities and investment
securities portfolios as repayments, scheduled maturities and sales occurred.
Funds received from these repayments, maturities and sales have been and are
expected to be used to grow and diversify the Company's loan portfolio, to
reduce the Company's wholesale debt and as an additional source of liquidity.
This restructuring is part of a long-range plan to make the Company's balance
sheet composition more representative of "community banks" with a greater
percentage of assets in the loan portfolio as opposed to investments. Management
anticipates that this restructuring should improve the Company's margins due to
the generally higher interest rates on loans, and this will continue to be an
ongoing initiative of the Company in fiscal 2002.

Mortgage-backed and related securities, including securities available for sale,
decreased $92.6 million to $712.4 million at September 30, 2001 from $805.0
million at September 30, 2000, which represented 32.3% of total assets in each
year. Debt and equity securities decreased $172.7 million to $41.7 million from
$214.4 million at September 30, 2000. These decreases were due to repayments,
scheduled maturities and sales during the current year. The decrease in
mortgage-backed and related securities was partially offset by purchases of
$124.7 million during the year ended September 30, 2001. As noted above, in
connection with the balance sheet restructuring program, in fiscal 2000 and
2001, the Company reduced the size of its mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities portfolios.

Net loans receivable, including loans held for sale, decreased $48.5 million to
$1.26 billion at September 30, 2001 from $1.30 billion at September 30, 2000.
During fiscal 2001, one-to four-family mortgage loans, consumer loans



                                       36
<PAGE>

and commercial loans all decreased, offset by increases in commercial real
estate loans and home equity loans. The generally lower interest rate
environment during the current year impacted the amount and type of loans
originated during fiscal 2001 compared with fiscal 2000. One- to four-family
mortgage loans decreased $105.9 million to $298.6 million at September 30, 2001
from $404.5 million at September 30, 2000. The Company's one-to four-family
mortgage loan portfolio has a significant level of adjustable rate loans and
during periods of declining interest rates, the customers generally convert
adjustable rate loans to fixed rate loans. However, fixed rate loans are
generally sold in the secondary market and are not maintained on the Company's
balance sheet. Consumer loans decreased $18.3 million to $108.2 million. The
decrease in consumer loans is due to accelerated repayments of consumer loans
and the discontinuance of the Company's indirect auto loan program during fiscal
2000. Commercial loans decreased $11.7 million to $140.8 million. Commercial
loans decreased due to a decline in originations. Gross commercial real estate
loans increased by $55.6 million to $362.3 million. Multi-family loans decreased
$3.7 million to $126.3 million. Home equity lines of credit increased $33.2
million to $221.6 million.

The Company originated $105.9 million of commercial real estate loans for the
year ended September 30, 2001 compared with $75.8 million for the year ended
September 30, 2000. Multi-family loan originations increased to $34.8 million
for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared with $26.8 million in the prior
year. One- to four-family and residential construction loan originations
increased to $312.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared with
$178.4 million in the prior year. The Company originated $159.6 million of home
equity loans for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared to $132.0 million
for the year ended September 30, 2000. Consumer loan originations increased to
$62.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared with $51.5 million
in the prior year. Commercial loan originations decreased to $51.8 million loans
for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared with $101.7 million in the prior
year. The generally lower interest rate environment during the current year
impacted the amount and type of loans originated during fiscal 2001 compared
with fiscal 2000.

Real estate held for investment decreased to $26.3 million at September 30,
2001, from $27.1 million at September 30, 2000, consisting of 12 affordable
housing projects within the state of Wisconsin, which qualify for tax credits
under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Deposits decreased $22.6 million to $1.45 billion at September 30, 2001 from
$1.47 billion at September 30, 2000. The decrease in deposits was due primarily
to decreases of $99.8 million in certificates of deposit offset by increases of
$66.2 million in money market demand account deposits as well as slight
increases in other types of deposit products. At September 30, 2001,
certificates of deposits included $224.4 million in brokered certificates of
deposit compared with $341.3 million at September 30, 2000, a decrease of $116.9
million. The brokered deposits are used to fund the general operating activities
of the Company, with terms from three months to ten years in maturity. The
majority of the money market demand accounts are tied to a national money market
fund index and compete with money market funds. The level of deposit flows
during any given period is heavily influenced by factors such as the general
level of interest rates as well as alternative yields that investors may obtain
on competing instruments, such as money market mutual funds.

Advances and other borrowings decreased to $571.4 million at September 30, 2001
from $864.7 million at September 30, 2000. As noted above, in connection with
the balance sheet restructuring program, the Company used funds generated from
the reduction in the size of its mortgage-backed securities and investment
securities portfolios to reduce the Company's wholesale debt.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000

GENERAL

Net income for the year ended September 30, 2001 increased to $18.0 million
compared with $11.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. The results
for the year ended September 30, 2001 include an after-tax effect of $1.5
million on an additional provision for loan losses related to a commercial
credit. The results for the year ended September 30, 2000 included an after-tax
effect of $6.3 million on the accelerated loan principal payments to the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). Excluding the effect of these
two items from fiscal 2001 and 2000, net income increased to $19.5 million from
$17.4 million. Fiscal 2001 included a reduction in net income of $84,000 for the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle resulting from the
adoption of Financial Accounting Statement Number 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."



                                       37
<PAGE>

Net income for the year ended September 30, 2001 increased primarily due to an
increase of $7.1 million in other operating income offset by a decrease of $3.4
million in net interest income.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased $379,000 to $53.5
million for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared to $53.9 million for the
year ended September 30, 2000. The slight decrease was due to a decrease of
$153.6 million in average earning assets from $2.40 billion for the prior year
to $2.25 billion for the year ended September 30, 2001, partially offset by a
decrease of $174.7 million in average interest-bearing liabilities from $2.28
billion for the prior year to $2.11 billion for the year ended September 30,
2001, and an increase in the net interest margin to 2.38% in 2001 from 2.24% in
2000. The decrease in average earning assets is largely the result of the
Company's restructuring efforts to reduce the amount of investment and
mortgage-backed securities and of a decrease in the Company's one- to
four-family mortgage loan portfolio, which have been refinancing in the recent
lower interest rate environment.

Total interest income decreased $13.5 million or 7.7% to $161.1 million for the
year ended September 30, 2001 compared to $174.6 million for the year ended
September 30, 2000. The decrease in interest income was primarily the result of
decreases of $10.8 million in interest on mortgage-backed and related securities
and $5.5 million in interest on debt and equity securities, partially offset by
a $2.7 million increase in interest on loans. The decrease in interest on
mortgage-backed and related securities was due to a decrease in the average
balance to $779.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2001, compared to
$899.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2000, as well as a decrease in
the average yield on mortgage-backed and related securities to 6.10% for the
year ended September 30, 2001 from 6.47% for the year ended September 30, 2000.
The decrease in interest on debt and equity securities was due to a decrease in
the average balance to $124.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2001,
compared to $222.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2000, partially
offset by an increase in the average yield on debt and equity securities to
6.10% for the year ended September 30, 2001 from 5.88% for the year ended
September 30, 2000. The decrease in the average balances of mortgage-backed and
related securities and debt and equity securities is due to the aforementioned
balance sheet restructuring effort in fiscal 2001. The increase in interest on
loans was due to an increase in the average balance of loans to $1.3 billion for
the year ended September 30, 2001, compared to $1.2 billion for the year ended
September 30, 2000, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans
which decreased to 7.92% for the year ended September 30, 2001 from 8.09% for
the year ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in the average yields is due
primarily to the lower interest rate environment in effect during the year as
compared to historical rates.

Total interest expense decreased $13.1 million or 10.9% to $107.6 million for
the year ended September 30, 2001 compared to $120.7 million for the year ended
September 30, 2000. Interest expense on deposits decreased $6.2 million or 8.6%
to $66.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared to $72.5 million
for the year ended September 30, 2000. The average balance of deposits decreased
to $1.39 billion for the year ended September 30, 2001, from $1.43 billion for
the year ended September 30, 2000. The decreases in the balances of deposits are
primarily due to the decline in brokered certificates of deposit. The average
cost of deposits decreased to 4.75% for the year ended September 30, 2001, from
5.05% for the year ended September 30, 2000. Brokered deposits decreased to
$224.4 million during the year compared to $341.3 million in 2000 at weighted
average stated rates of 4.99% and 6.44%, respectively. As part of a continuing
strategy, the Company continues to offer deposit products that compete more
effectively with money market funds and other non-financial deposit products.
Such accounts have generally changed the Company's traditional mix of deposit
accounts to one that is more adjustable to current interest rates such as the
money market demand account. This has resulted in passbook and certificate of
deposit accounts representing a lower percentage of the Company's deposit
portfolio.

Interest expense on advances and other borrowings decreased $6.9 million or
14.3% to $41.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared to $48.3
million in the prior year. The decrease is due to a decrease in the average
balance of advances and other borrowings to $708.5 million for the year ended
September 30, 2001 compared to $843.2 million for the year ended September 30,
2000, partially offset by an increase in the average cost of advances and other
borrowings to 5.83% from 5.72% for the same periods.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses increased $3.0 million to $5.5 million for the
year ended September 30, 2001 compared with $2.5 million for the year ended
September 30, 2000. In fiscal 2001, the Company recorded a specific loan loss
provision of $2.5 million related to a commercial loan credit that has been in
non-performing status since September 2000. After consideration of specific
reserves already established for the loan, the Company felt the provision was
appropriate given the current known status of the credit. At September 30, 2001,
the commercial loan credit had a balance of $5.1 million and an associated
impairment reserve of $513,000. During the year ended September 30, 2001, the
balance of the commercial loan credit was reduced by a $3.5 million charge-off
and by the receipt of $1.4 million in payments. (For further information
regarding this particular commercial credit see "Non-Performing Assets"). For
the year ended September 30, 2001, net charge-offs were $4.2 million compared
with $1.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. The increase in
charge-offs in the current fiscal year is due to a $3.5 million charge-off on
the aforementioned commercial credit. The allowance for loan losses totaled
$11.7 million and $10.4 million at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively,
representing 0.88% and 0.76% of total gross loans, respectively. The Company's
loan portfolio is increasingly more diversified than in previous years. The
Company has and continues to expect to increase its commercial, consumer and
commercial real estate loan portfolios, which are generally presumed to have
more risk than single-family mortgage loans. The amount of non-performing loans
was $10.3 million or 0.77% of gross loans at September 30, 2001, compared to
$13.0 million or 0.95% of gross loans at September 30, 2000. The provision for
loan loss is established based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent
in its loan portfolio and the general economy. (For further information see
"Allowance for Loan Losses").

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Other operating income increased $7.1 million or 50.2% to $21.3 million for the
year ended September 30, 2001 compared to $14.2 million for the year ended
September 30, 2000. The increase was primarily due to increases in gains on
sales of mortgage loans, securities gains and increases in loan servicing and
deposit fee income. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans increased to $6.1
million for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared with $1.1 million for the
prior year. The level of gains on loans is highly dependent on the interest rate
environment and resulting level of origination of mortgage loans. The decrease
in interest rates on mortgage loans in the current fiscal year has resulted in
an increased level of loan originations and also in a higher proportion of fixed
rate mortgage loans, which the Company generally sells in the secondary market.
Loan servicing and loan related fees increased to $3.3 million from $2.7 million
for the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Deposit fees and
service charges increased to $5.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2001
compared with $4.9 million in the prior year. The Company has been increasing
its mix of deposit accounts that generate various fee incomes such as overdraft
fees and ATM surcharges.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses decreased $4.8 million or 9.8% to $44.3
million for the year ended September 30, 2001, compared to $49.1 million for the
year ended September 30, 2000. The prior year included an additional ESOP
expense of $7.1 million due to accelerated payments made to retire the Company's
ESOP debt. Excluding the effect of the additional ESOP expense, general and
administrative expenses increased $2.3 million for the year ended September 30,
2001 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily
due to additional levels of compensation, including increased commissions and
incentive pay related to the Company's increased loan origination activity,
normal merit increases at the start of the Company's fiscal year and the
Company's mortgage banking subsidiary having become fully operational by the
beginning of the current fiscal year.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense increased by $1.6 million to $7.0 million for the year ended
September 30, 2001 compared to $5.4 million for the year ended September 30,
2000. The Company's effective tax rate was 27.8% for the year ended September
30, 2001, compared to 32.5% for the year ended September 30, 2000. The Company's
effective tax rate is lower than the combined federal and state tax rates
primarily due to the effect of the tax credits earned by the Company's
affordable housing subsidiary. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the
current year is due primarily to the fact that the majority of the ESOP expense
in the prior year was non-deductible for tax purposes. Income tax credits were
$2.6 million in both fiscal 2001 and 2000.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

GENERAL

Net income for the year ended September 30, 2000 decreased to $11.1 million
compared with $16.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1999. In fiscal
2000, the Company made a voluntary acceleration of loan principal to the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). Net income was reduced $6.3
million for the year ended September 30, 2000 by the additional ESOP
compensation expense. The remaining principal balance of the ESOP loan was
repaid during the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and the additional ESOP expense
ended with that quarter. Net income for the year ended September 30, 2000,
excluding the additional ESOP expense, was higher than the previous year
primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in net interest income before provision
for loan losses and a decrease of $1.6 million in general and administrative
expenses, partially offset by an increase of $600,000 in the provision for loan
losses and a $2.1 million decrease in other operating income.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.6 million or
3.2% to $53.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2000 compared to $52.3
million for the year ended September 30, 1999. The increase was due to an
increase of $318.7 million in average earning assets, partially offset by a
decrease in the net interest margin to 2.24% in 2000 from 2.51% in 1999. While
the Company has adopted interest rate risk policies in an effort to protect net
interest income from significant increases or decreases in interest rates, the
Company's net income could still be affected by a narrowing of its net interest
rate spread.

Total interest income increased $29.1 million or 20.0% to $174.7 million for the
year ended September 30, 2000 compared to $145.6 million for the year ended
September 30, 1999. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of
increases of $20.5 million in interest on loans, $5.6 million in interest on
mortgage-backed and related securities and $3.2 million in interest in debt and
equity securities. The increase in interest on loans was due to an increase in
the average balance of loans to $1.2 billion for the year ended September 30,
2000, compared to $992.8 million for the year ended September 30, 1999,
partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans which decreased to
8.09% for the year ended September 30, 2000 from 8.11% for the year ended
September 30, 1999. The increase in interest on interest mortgage-backed and
related securities was due to an increase in the average balance to $899.7
million for the year ended September 30, 2000, compared to $869.1 million for
the year ended September 30, 1999, as well as an increase in the average yield
on mortgage-backed and related securities to 6.47% for the year ended September
30, 2000 from 6.05% for the year ended September 30, 1999. The increase in
interest on debt and equity securities was due to an increase in the average
balance to $222.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2000, compared to
$177.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1999, as well as an increase in
the average yield on debt and equity securities to 5.88% for the year ended
September 30, 2000 from 5.53% for the year ended September 30, 1999. The
increase in the average yields is due primarily to the higher interest rate
environment in effect during the year as compared to historical rates.

Total interest expense increased $27.4 million or 29.4% to $120.7 million for
the year ended September 30, 2000 compared to $93.3 million for the year ended
September 30, 1999. Interest expense on deposits increased $15.1 million or
26.3% to $72.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2000 compared to $57.4
million for the year ended September 30, 1999. The average balance of deposits
increased to $1.43 billion for the year ended September 30, 2000, from $1.29
billion for the year ended September 30, 1999. The increases in the balances of
deposits are due to growth in retail deposit products. The average cost of
deposits increased to 5.05% for the year ended September 30, 2000, from 4.46%
for the year ended September 30, 1999. Brokered deposits decreased to $341.3
million during the year compared to $421.8 million in 1999 at weighted average
stated rates of 6.44% and 6.08%, respectively. The higher cost of the brokered
certificates reflects the use of longer-term callable brokered deposits. The
Company then, in effect, lowers the cost of the deposits through the use of
interest rate swaps to rates approximating short-term rates. This funding then
matches the interest rate characteristics of the related asset, which is
generally a short-term adjusting mortgage-backed security. As part of a
continuing strategy, the Company continues to offer deposit products that
compete more effectively with money market funds and other non-financial deposit
products. Such accounts have generally changed the Company's traditional mix of
deposit accounts to one that is more adjustable to current interest rates such
as the money market demand account. This has resulted in passbook and
certificate of deposit accounts representing a lower percentage of the Company's
deposit portfolio other than brokered certificates.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses increased $600,000 or 30.7% to $2.5 million for
the year ended September 30, 2000 compared with $1.9 million for the year ended
September 30, 1999. For the year ended September 30, 2000, net charge-offs were
$1.5 million compared with $397,000 for the year ended September 30, 1999. Net
charge-offs for the year ended September 30, 2000 included a $782,000 charge-off
on a commercial real estate credit that had been in non-performing status since
1997 and had been fully reserved for in prior periods. The allowance for loan
losses totaled $10.4 million and $9.4 million at September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, representing 0.76% and 0.75% of total gross loans, respectively.
The amount of non-performing loans was $13.0 million or 0.95% of gross loans at
September 30, 2000, compared to $2.8 million or 0.23% of gross loans at
September 30, 1999. The provision for loan loss is established based on
management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and the
general economy.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Other operating income decreased $2.1 million or 12.8% to $14.2 million for the
year ended September 30, 2000 compared to $16.3 million for the year ended
September 30, 1999. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in gains on
sales of mortgage loans, a gain on the sale of real estate held for sale and
income from the Company's affordable housing subsidiary, partially offset by
increases in loan servicing and deposit fee income. Gains on the sale of
mortgage loans decreased to $1.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2000
compared with $2.8 million for the prior year. The level of gains on loans is
highly dependent on the interest rate environment and resulting level of
origination of mortgage loans. The recent increase in interest rates on mortgage
loans has resulted in a lower level of loan originations and also in a higher
proportion of adjustable rate mortgage loans which the Company retains in its
own portfolio. The Company generally realizes less gain on the sale of loans
during periods of rising interest rates. Income from the operations of the
Company's affordable housing subsidiary (which represents primarily rental
income) decreased to $3.0 million from $3.7 million for the years ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This was due to the sale of 13
affordable housing properties on which the Company realized gains of $1.2
million for the year ended September 30, 1999. There was no such gain in the
current fiscal year. Loan servicing and loan related fees increased to $2.7
million from $2.0 million for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Deposit fees and service charges increased to $4.9 million for the
year ended September 30, 2000 compared with $4.2 million in the prior year. The
Company has been increasing its mix of deposit accounts that generate various
fee incomes such as overdraft fees and ATM surcharges.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses, excluding the additional ESOP expense,
decreased $1.6 million or 3.5% to $42.0 million for the year ended September 30,
2000, compared to $43.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1999. The
primary cause for the decrease in the current year was a decline in affordable
housing expenses due to a sale of a portion of the Company's affordable housing
projects in the previous year and to a decline in compensation and employee
benefits. Considering the actual effect of the additional ESOP expense of $7.1
million for the year ended September 30, 2000, general and administrative
expenses increased to $49.1 million compared to $43.6 million in the prior year.
However, the entire ESOP loan principal was repaid in fiscal 2000 and management
anticipates the absence of the expense going forward will have a positive
influence on earnings.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense decreased by $1.0 million to $5.4 million for the year ended
September 30, 2000 compared to $6.4 million for the year ended September 30,
1999. The Company's effective tax rate was 32.5% for the year ended September
30, 2000, compared to 27.8% for the year ended September 30, 1999. The Company's
effective tax rate is lower than the combined federal and state tax rates
primarily due to the effect of the tax credits earned by the Company's
affordable housing subsidiary. The increase in the effective tax rate in the
current year is due primarily to the fact that the majority of the ESOP expense
is non-deductible for tax purposes and because of a decrease in the tax credits
earned by the Company's affordable housing subsidiary, as a result of the sale
of 13 of the properties in the prior year. Income tax credits decreased to $2.6
million for the year ended September 30, 2000, compared to $3.0 million in the
prior year. The Company is currently carrying forward tax credits that it has
not utilized on its tax returns.

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's
consolidated average statements of financial condition and the consolidated
statements of income for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, and
reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the
years indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense
by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the years
shown. Average balances are derived principally from average daily balances and
include non-accruing loans. The yields and costs include fees which are
considered adjustments to yields. The amount of interest income resulting from
the recognition of loan fees was $123,000, $520,000 and $630,000 for the years
ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest income on
non-accruing loans is reflected in the year that it is collected. Such amounts
are not material to net interest income or net change in net interest income in
any year. Non-accrual loans are included in the average balances and do not have
a material effect on the average yield. Tax-exempt investments are immaterial
and the tax-equivalent method of presentation is not included in the schedule.
Interest rate swaps, which are accounted for as a hedge of the cost of various
liabilities, are included in the category of the liability being hedged.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning
assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends
upon the volumes of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
the interest rate earned or paid on them.

The following table presents 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 rate (changes
in rate multiplied by prior volume), (iii) changes attributable to the combined
impact of volume and rate (changes in the rate multiplied by the changes in the
volume) and (iv) the net change.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Company's profitability, like that of most financial institutions, depends
to a large extent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between
interest earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments,
and its interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits
and borrowings.

The Company maintains a high level of short-term savings deposits, including
passbook savings, NOW checking accounts and money market deposit accounts. These
accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than
the Company's investments in mortgage-backed and related securities and mortgage
loans because of the shorter maturity and repricing characteristics of deposits.
As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect earnings
while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect earnings.

In an attempt to manage vulnerability to interest rate changes, management
monitors the Company's interest rate risks. The Company has established its
investment strategies through an Asset/Liability Committee, which reports to the
Board of Directors. The Committee generally meets monthly and reviews the
Company's interest rate risk position, maturing securities and borrowings,
interest rates and programs for raising deposits, including retail and brokered
and nonbrokered wholesale deposits, and originating and purchasing of loans, and
develops policies dealing with these issues. The Company seeks primarily to
manage its interest rate risk through structuring its balance sheet by investing
in a variety of different types of financial instruments in order to reduce its
vulnerability to changes in interest rates and to enhance its income. The
Company's assets and liabilities maturing and repricing within one year
generally result in a negative one-year gap, which occurs when the level of
liabilities maturing or repricing within one year are greater than the level of
assets maturing or repricing within the same period of time. If interest rates
were to rise significantly, and for a prolonged period, the Company's operating
results could be adversely affected. The Company attempts to maintain a negative
one-year gap of less than 15% of total assets. If in the estimation of
management, the one-year gap exceeded or was soon to exceed that limit, actions
would be taken to reduce the Company's exposure to rising interest rates.

Generally, the Company uses the following strategies to reduce its interest rate
risk: (i) the Company seeks to originate and hold a variety of ARMs or other
mortgage loans with short- to medium-term average lives and invests in primarily
mortgage-backed and related securities with short- to medium-term average lives;
(ii) the Company seeks to lengthen the maturities of deposits when deemed cost
effective through the pricing and promotion of certificates of deposit with
terms of one to five years, and periodically utilizes deposit marketing programs
offering maturity and repricing terms structured to complement the repricing and
maturity characteristics of the existing asset/liability mix; and (iii) the
Company has utilized short term and long term borrowings, principally secured
from the FHLB, as wells as, brokered certificates of deposits with risk
characteristics that are similar to the Company's assets.

The Company continues to monitor its interest rate risk as that risk relates to
its strategies. At September 30, 2001, total interest-bearing liabilities
maturing or repricing within one year exceeded total interest-earning assets
maturing or repricing in the same period by $26.6 million, representing a
negative cumulative one-year gap ratio of 1.2%, compared to a negative
cumulative one-year gap ratio of 21.7% at September 30, 2000. The change in the
Company's gap position is due to the decline in interest rates during fiscal
2001. As interest rates declined, the terms of the Company's assets shortened
and the terms of the liabilities lengthened.

With a negative gap position, during periods of rising interest rates it is
expected that the cost of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities will rise
more quickly than the yield on its interest-earning assets, which will have a
negative effect upon its net interest income. Although the opposite effect on
net interest income would occur in periods of falling interest rates, the
Company could experience substantial prepayments of its fixed-rate mortgage
loans and mortgage-backed and related securities in periods of falling interest
rates, which results in the reinvestment of such proceeds at market rates which
are lower than current rates.

(1)  Adjustable and floating rate assets are included in the period in which
     interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in
     which they are due, and fixed rate assets are included in the periods in
     which they are scheduled to be repaid based on scheduled amortization, in
     each case adjusted to take into account estimated prepayments utilizing the
     Company's historical prepayment statistics, modified for forecasted
     statistics using the Public Securities Association model of prepayments.
     For fixed rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and related securities,
     annual prepayment rates ranging from 8% to 30%, based on the loan coupon
     rate, were used.

(2)  Balances have been reduced for undisbursed loan proceeds, unearned
     insurance premiums, deferred loan fees, purchased loan discounts and
     allowances for loan losses, which aggregated $70.0 million at September 30,
     2001.

(3)  Although the Company's NOW accounts, passbook savings accounts and money
     market deposit accounts generally are subject to immediate withdrawal,
     management considers a certain portion of such accounts to be core deposits
     having significantly longer effective maturities based on the Company's
     retention of such deposits in changing interest rate environments. NOW
     accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts are
     assumed to be withdrawn at annual rates of 37%, 17% and 88%, respectively,
     of the declining balance of such accounts during the period shown. The
     withdrawal rates used are higher than the Company's historical rates but
     are considered by management to be more indicative of expected withdrawal
     rates in a rising interest rate environment. If all the Company's NOW
     accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts had
     been assumed to be repricing within one year, the one-year cumulative
     deficiency of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities would
     have been $165.1 million or 7.48% of total assets.

(4)  Fixed rate puttable FHLB advances are included in the period of their
     modified duration rather than in the period in which they are due.
     Borrowings include fixed rate puttable FHLB advances of $445 million
     maturing in one to three years.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees
to changes in market interest rates. Also, 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. Additionally, certain assets, such as ARM loans and mortgage-backed and
related securities, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a
short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In addition, the proportion of
ARM loans and mortgage-backed and related securities in the Company's portfolios
could decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or decrease
below current levels due to the exercise of conversion options and refinance
activity. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and
early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in
the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may
decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

In order to measure earnings sensitivity the Corporation utilizes a dynamic gap
analysis. The dynamic gap analysis involves analyzing the impact on contractual
repricing and maturity characteristics for rate sensitive assets, liabilities,
and off balance sheet instruments adjusted for the anticipated impact on
repricing, prepayment, and option features for different interest rate scenarios
(various parallel yield curve shifts). A dynamic consolidated gap position is
then analyzed for the impact on net interest income in the various environments.
The Corporation's consolidated one year negative gap is -1.20% as of September
30, 2001. The projected sensitivity on net interest income for an immediate and
parallel upward yield curve shift of 100 and 200 basis points is 0% and -1%,
respectively.

The Corporation further measures interest rate risk by analyzing the impact of
changing interest rates on the Corporation's market value portfolio equity
(market value adjusted capital). The market value portfolio equity analysis
involves analyzing the market value of all rate sensitive assets and liabilities
under different interest rate and prepayment environments. The change in the
market value portfolio equity for changes in interest rates is measured against
its current base case. This sensitivity is monitored and compared to desired
internal levels and current industry standards. The consolidated market value
portfolio equity sensitivity to an immediate and parallel upward yield curve
shift of up 100 and 200 basis points is -10% and -25%, respectively.

The Company enters into interest rate exchange agreements ("swaps") from time to
time in order to reduce the interest rate risk associated with certain
liabilities. The agreements have been both fixed-pay, floating-receive swaps
whereby the Company pays interest at a fixed rate and receives interest at a
floating rate based on a notional amount of principal, locking in a fixed cost
of funds and fixed-receive, floating-pay swaps whereby the Company receives
interest at a fixed rate and pays interest at a floating rate based on a
notional amount of principal, locking in a floating cost of funds. The net
interest income or expense resulting from the differential between exchanging
floating rate and fixed rate interest payments is recorded on a current basis.
There are certain risks associated with swaps, including the risk that the
counterparty may default and that there may not be an exact correlation between
the indices on which the swap agreements are based and the terms of the hedged
liabilities. In order to offset these risks, the Company generally enters into
swap agreements only with nationally recognized securities firms and monitors
the credit status of counterparties, the level of collateral for such swaps and
the correlation between the hedged liabilities and indices utilized. Generally,
the swaps have been designed to more accurately match the interest cash flows of
certain liabilities used to fund specific assets to the interest rate
characteristics of those assets. At September 30, 2001, the Company had interest
rate swaps outstanding with a notional amount of $80.0 million. The largest
aggregate notional amount of the Company's interest rate swaps at any one time
over the past five years is $410.0 million.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had $80 million in fixed receive-floating pay
agreements with maturity dates ranging from 2008 to 2009 and call dates ranging
from 2001 to 2002. The agreements have fixed interest rates ranging from 5.85%
to 6.30% and variable interest rates ranging from 3.43% to 3.73%.

For the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company realized net
interest income on interest rate exchange agreement activity of $1.6 million,
$1.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively. While this activity resulted in net
interest income in fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company effectively
matched the related



                                       47
<PAGE>

funding costs of certain assets with the interest rate characteristics of those
assets. The Company's Investment Policy limits the notional amount of
outstanding interest rate exchange agreements to $450.0 million. Any notional
amounts of interest rate exchange agreements in excess of $450.0 million must be
approved by the Company's Board of Directors.

The Company also utilizes financial futures or options to manage anticipated
increases in interest rates and the resulting decline in the market prices of
its mortgage loan production. The options provide a practical floor and cap on
portfolio market values for moderate interest rate movements while the forward
contracts are used to offset actual and anticipated on- and off-balance sheet
positions of the Company. These options result in a certain amount of potential
interest rate and market value risk exposure for the Company. The amount of the
actual exposure is determined by the exercise of these options. The Company
generally sells options for settlement no more than four months forward. An
option's likelihood of exercise is dependent upon the relation of the market
price of the underlying security to the strike price of the option. The strategy
is not meant to offset losses that could be incurred during a substantial
interest rate move and actually may result in additional losses on the
instruments themselves which is beyond the losses the Company would have
incurred had the management techniques not been utilized. The combined effect of
the Company's option, forward commitment and loan swap activity is included in
the income statement as part of securities gains (losses). The Company realized
gains on that combined activity of $350,000, $19,000 and $95,000, respectively,
for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999. The notional amount of
options and forward contracts outstanding varies and is a function of the
current lending activity of salable mortgage loans. In order to limit the risks
which may be associated with such financial options or futures, the Company's
Investment Policy limits the amount of outstanding sold puts or calls used to
manage the Company's trading portfolio to $50.0 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings from the FHLB,
proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and principal and
interest payments on mortgage-backed and related securities and on debt and
equity securities. Although maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are
predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and
prepayments on mortgage-backed and related securities are influenced
significantly by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Mortgage loan and mortgage security prepayments were generally higher during
1999 and 2001 because of the generally lower level of interest rates throughout
those years.

The ratio of liquid assets to deposits and short-term borrowings required by the
OTS is currently 4.0%. The Bank's liquidity ratio was 12.4% and 9.2% at
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels
in order to meet various funding needs and to meet its asset and liability
management objectives.

The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid,
short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Bank's
operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.
At September 30, 2001 and 2000, liquid assets of the Bank (as defined in the OTS
regulations) were $238.9 million and $202.3 million, respectively.

In fiscal 2000 and 2001, the Company continued to reduce the size of its
mortgage-backed securities and investment securities portfolios as part of a
strategy to decrease the proportion of earnings from that segment of its balance
sheet. The reduction was primarily accomplished through the repayment of
principal, scheduled maturities and the sale of available-for-sale securities.
Funds generated from the repayment of principal, maturities and sales from the
mortgage-backed securities and investment securities portfolios were used to
grow and diversify the Company's loan portfolio, to reduce the Company's
wholesale debt and as an additional source of liquidity. Management anticipates
that this form of "balance sheet restructuring" will be an ongoing strategic
initiative of the Company in fiscal 2002.

Excess funds generally are invested in short-term investments such as federal
funds or overnight deposits at the FHLB. The Company has found brokered
certificates of deposit to be an efficient source and a cost-effective method,
relative to local retail market deposits, of meeting the Company's funding
needs. Management believes that a significant portion of its retail deposits
will remain with the Company, and in the case of brokered deposits, may be
replaced with similar type accounts even should the level of interest rates
change. However, in the event of a significant increase in market interest
rates, the cost of obtaining replacement brokered deposits would increase as
well. Whenever the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, additional sources of funds are available and obtained from
borrowings from the FHLB. Funds also may be available through reverse repurchase
agreements wherein the Company pledges mortgage-backed securities. The Company
utilizes its borrowing capabilities on a regular basis. At September 30, 2001,
FHLB advances totaled $513.4 million or 25.1% of total liabilities and at
September 30, 2000, FHLB advances were $532.0 million or 22.5% of total
liabilities. At September 30, 2001, the Company had a borrowing capacity
available of $258.0 million from the FHLB. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the
Company had zero and $246.0 million, respectively, of reverse repurchase
agreements. The Company's reverse repurchase agreements are generally
short-term, with maturities of less than 90 days. In a rising interest rate
environment, such short-term borrowings present the risk that upon maturity, the
borrowings will have to be replaced with higher rate borrowings. The Company
generally has matched such borrowings to specific assets and has relatively
little liquidity risk due to the fact that the assets and borrowings mature at
approximately the same time.

The amount of principal repayments on loans and mortgage securities are heavily
influenced by the general level of interest rates in the economy. Funds received
from principal repayments on mortgage securities for the years ended September
30, 2001 and 2000, were $139.4 million and $115.7 million, respectively. Funds
received from principal repayments on loans for the years ended September 30,
2001 and 2000, were $513.9 million and $403.7 million, respectively. In addition
to principal repayments, the Company sells mortgage loans to government agencies
(primarily FNMA) and to institutional investors. Total mortgage loan sales to
FNMA and others were $453.5 million and $117.7 million for the years ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Funds generated from principal repayments and sales of loans and mortgage-backed
and related securities are reinvested back into loans receivable and
mortgage-backed and related securities through origination and purchase,



                                       51

used to reduce the Company's wholesale debt and as an additional source of
liquidity. Loan originations totaled $727.1 million and $566.1 million for the
years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Purchases of
mortgage-backed and related securities totaled $124.7 million and zero for the
years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the years ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company repurchased approximately 258,400 and
769,400 shares of its common stock in share repurchase programs at a total cost
of approximately $5.2 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Shares
repurchased are funded through dividends received from the Bank and the
Company's line of credit. Due to the Company's access to liquidity, shares
repurchased have a minimal effect on the Company's liquidity.

At September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company had outstanding loan commitments
including lines of credit of $304.0 million and $307.0 million, respectively.
The Company had no commitments to purchase loans outstanding at either of these
dates. The Company anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet
its current loan commitments, including loan applications received and in
process prior to the issuance of firm commitments. Certificates of deposit,
including brokered certificates, which are scheduled to mature in one year or
less at September 30, 2001 and 2000, were $496.6 million and $373.5 million,
respectively. Management believes that a significant portion of such deposits
will remain with the Company.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected
in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial
companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in
nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

The FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"--a replacement of FASB
Statement No. 125. This statement provides accounting and reporting standards
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities. Those standards are based on consistent application of a
financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that approach,
after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes
financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities
when extinguished. This Statement provides consistent standards for
distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that
are secured borrowings. This Statement is effective for transfers and servicing
of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31,
2001. This Statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of
collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and
collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2001. This Statement is to
be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Therefore, earlier or
retroactive application of this Statement is not permitted. Adoption of this
standard is not expected to materially effect the results of operations or
financial position of the Company.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No.
141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142").
SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001 be accounted for under the purchase method and addresses the initial
recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in
a business combination. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination and
the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their
acquisition. SFAS No. 142 provides that intangible assets with finite useful
lives be amortized and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
will not be amortized, but will rather be tested at least annually for
impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective January 1, 2002 for calendar year
companies, however, any acquired goodwill or intangible assets recorded in
transactions closed subsequent to June 30, 2001 will be subject immediately to
the nonamortization and amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. As required
under SFAS No. 142, the Company will discontinue the amortization of goodwill
with an expected net carrying value of $13.4 million at October 1, 2001 and
annual



                                       52
<PAGE>

amortization of $1.2 million that resulted from business combinations prior to
the adoption of SFAS No. 141. However, the Company continues to evaluate the
additional effect, if any, that adoption of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 will
have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors
St. Francis Capital Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of St. Francis Capital Corporation and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of
September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in shareholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 2001. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of St. Francis Capital
Corporation and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended September 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of St. Francis Capital Corporation and
Subsidiary (the "Company") conform to accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and to general practice within the banking
industry. The Company provides a full range of banking and related financial
services to individual and corporate customers through its network of bank
affiliates. The Company is subject to competition from other financial
institutions and is regulated by federal and state banking agencies and
undergoes periodic examinations by those agencies. The following is a
description of the more significant of those policies that the Company follows
in preparing and presenting its consolidated financial statements. In preparing
the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

(a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its
wholly-owned subsidiary, St. Francis Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), the Bank's
subsidiaries, SF Investment Corp. ("SF Investment"), SF Insurance Services
Corp., St. Francis Mortgage Corp ("SFMC") and St. Francis Equity Properties
("SFEP") and limited partnerships which are all more than 50% owned by SFEP. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

(b) Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, interest-bearing deposits with the Federal
Home Loan Bank-Chicago ("FHLB") and other financial institutions and federal
funds sold.

(c) Trading Account Securities

Trading account securities include debt securities which are held for resale in
anticipation of short-term market movements. Trading account securities are
stated at fair value. Gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, are
included in securities gains (losses).

(d) Securities Held to Maturity and Available For Sale

Management determines the appropriate classification of debt and equity
securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities are classified as
held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold
the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized
cost.

Debt securities not classified as held to maturity, or debt and marketable
equity securities not classified as trading are classified as available for
sale. Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, with the
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The cost of debt securities classified as held to maturity or available for sale
is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity,
or in the case of mortgage-backed and related securities, over the estimated
life of the security. Such amortization is based on a level-yield method and is
included in interest income from the respective security. Interest and dividends
are included in interest and dividend income from investments. Realized gains
are included in securities gains (losses). The cost of securities sold is based
on the specific identification method.

In determining if declines in value in mortgage-backed and related securities
are other than temporary, management estimates future cash flows to be generated
by pools of loans underlying the securities. Included in this evaluation are
such factors as i) estimated loan prepayment rates, ii) a review of
delinquencies, foreclosures, repossessions and recovery rates relative to the
underlying mortgage loans collateralizing each security, iii) the level of
available subordination or other credit enhancements, iv) an assessment of the
servicer of the underlying mortgage portfolio and v) the rating assigned to each
security by independent national rating agencies.



                                       60

(e) Loans Held For Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale generally consist of certain fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate first mortgage loans. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried
at the lower of cost (less principal payments received) or market value, as
determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current quoted investor
yield requirements on an aggregate basis.

(f) Loans and Fees and Income on Loans

Loans are carried at the outstanding principal amount reduced by purchased
discount, deferred fees, unearned insurance premiums, loans in process and the
allowance for loan losses. Loans sold with recourse are derecognized at the time
of sale. The estimated liability related to recourse provisions is periodically
evaluated with increases charged to expense. Loans for which management has the
intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or
repayment are carried at their unpaid principal balances. Interest on loans is
recorded as income in the period earned.

Loans are normally placed on non-accrual status when contractually past due 90
days or more as to interest or principal payments. Additionally, whenever
management becomes aware of facts or circumstances that may adversely impact the
collectibility of principal or interest on loans, it is management's practice to
place such loans on non-accrual status immediately, rather than delaying such
action until the loans become 90 days past due. Previously accrued and
uncollected interest on such loans is reversed, amortization of related loan
fees is suspended, and income is recorded only to the extent that interest
payments are subsequently received in cash and a determination has been made
that the principal balance of the loan is collectible. If collectibility of the
principal is in doubt, payments received are applied to loan principal.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable
that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement, including principal and interest. The
Company defines impaired loans as commercial, commercial real estate and
multi-family loans that are on nonaccrual status. Large groups of homogeneous
loans, such as residential one- to four-family, home equity and consumer loans
are collectively evaluated for impairment.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs
are deferred and the net amounts amortized as an adjustment of the related
loan's yield. These amounts are amortized to income using the level yield
method, over the contractual life of the related loans. Discounts on purchased
loans are amortized using a method which approximates level yield. Unamortized
discounts on purchased loans which prepay are amortized immediately.

Loan origination fees and costs associated with loans sold are deferred and
recognized at the time of sale as a component of gain or loss on the sale of
loans. Fees for the servicing of loans are recognized as income when earned.

(g) Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Bank recognizes as a separate asset the rights to service mortgage loans for
others. The value of mortgage servicing rights is amortized in relation to the
servicing revenue expected to be earned. For the purpose of evaluating
impairment of mortgage servicing rights, serviced loans are stratified based
upon loan type.

(h) Intangibles

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of
subsidiaries acquired consists primarily of goodwill that is being amortized on
a straight-line method. Goodwill is amortized to operating expense over periods
of 15 to 25 years. The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to
sell.



                                       61
<PAGE>

During fiscal 1999, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $3.2 million. At
September 30, 2001, the Company had recorded goodwill of $18.4 million and
accumulated amortization of $5.0 million. Goodwill, net of accumulated
amortization, at September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $13.4 million and $14.6
million, respectively.

(i) Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to provide for
loan losses through charges to operating expense. The allowance is based upon
past loan loss experience and other factors which, in management's judgment,
deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. Such other factors
considered by management include size and character of the loan portfolio,
changes in the level of impaired and non-performing loans, the risk inherent in
specific loans, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries,
existing economic conditions, and historical losses on each portfolio category.
In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses,
management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties which
collateralize loans. With respect to loans which are deemed impaired, the
calculation of allowance levels is based upon the discounted present value of
expected cash flows received from the debtor or other measures of value such as
market prices or collateral values.

Management believes, based upon all relevant and available information, that the
allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available
information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to or reductions in
the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions beyond
management's control. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral
part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance
for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize
additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available
to them at the time of their examination.

(j) Derivative Instruments

Under SFAS 133, all derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the
statement of financial condition. For those derivative instruments that qualify
as hedges the Company measures the effectiveness of these hedges on a periodic
basis. The effective portion of the hedge is recorded as an adjustment to the
carrying value of the hedged item. Any difference between the fair value change
of the hedge versus the fair value change of the hedged item is considered to be
the "ineffective" portion of the hedge. The ineffective portion of the hedge is
recorded as an increase or decrease in the related income statement
classification of the item being hedged. If the ineffectiveness of a hedge
exceeds certain levels as described in the accounting standard, the derivative
would no longer be eligible for hedge treatment and future changes in fair value
of the derivative would be recorded on the income statement.

For those derivative instruments that do not qualify as hedges, changes in the
fair value are recorded on the income statement. Fees received on options
written are deferred at the time the fees are received and recognized in other
operating income at the earlier of the settlement or the expiration of the
contract.

Prior to adoption of SFAS 133 on October 1, 2000, realized and unrealized gains
and losses on these instruments were deferred and amortized over the life of the
hedged assets and liabilities. Financial instruments which did not meet the
criteria for hedge accounting were marked to market and any gains or losses were
recognized in the income statement as securities gains (losses).

(k) Foreclosed Properties

Foreclosed properties (which were acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure) are initially recorded at the lower of the carrying value of the
related loan balance or the fair market value of the real estate acquired less
the estimated costs to sell the real estate at the date title is received. Costs
relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized.
Income and expenses incurred in connection with holding and operating the
property are charged to expense. Valuations are periodically performed by
management and independent third parties and an allowance for loss is
established by a charge to expense if the carrying value of a property exceeds
its fair value less estimated costs to sell.



                                       62
<PAGE>

(l) Real Estate Held for Investment

Real estate held for investment represents multi-family rental property
(affordable housing projects) that SFEP owns, operates and develops as a limited
partner. The properties are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. The
Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value on a regular basis.
If the recoverability was determined to be in doubt, a valuation allowance would
be established by way of a charge to expense. Depreciation expense is provided
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.
Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred.

The financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of each LLP or LLC
is consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The operations of the
properties are not expected to contribute significantly to the Company's net
income before income taxes. However, the properties do contribute in the form of
income tax credits, which lower the Company's effective tax rate. Once
established, the credits on each property last for ten years and are passed
through from the LLP or LLC to SFEP and reduce the consolidated federal tax
liability of the Company.

(m) Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense are provided on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of
leasehold improvements is amortized on the straight-line basis over the lesser
of the term of the respective lease or the estimated economic life of the
improvements.

Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost
and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the
resulting gain or loss is recorded in income.

(n) Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Company's investment in FHLB stock meets the minimum amount required by
current regulation and is carried at cost which is its redeemable (fair) value
since the market for this stock is limited.

(o) Income Taxes

The Company and its Subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return.
Federal income tax expense is allocated to the Bank and its subsidiaries based
on an intercompany tax sharing agreement. Each Bank subsidiary files separate
state and local income or franchise tax returns.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement
carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment
date.

Affordable housing tax credits are recognized as a reduction of income tax
expense in the year they are available to be used in the Company's consolidated
income tax return.

(p) Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company has various stock based compensation plans that authorize the
granting of stock options, restricted stock, and other stock based awards to
eligible employees. As permitted, the Company has elected not to follow the
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation," which requires a fair-value based method of accounting for stock
options and equity awards, but follows APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and related interpretations to account for its stock based
compensation plans. Pursuant to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, the
Company has included in Note 15 the effect of the fair value of employee
stock-based compensation plans on net income and earnings per share on a pro
forma basis as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No.
123 was applied.

(q) Advertising and Promotion

In the ordinary course of business the Company incurs costs for advertising and
promotion expenses. It is the Company's policy to expense all advertising and
promotion expenditures as incurred.

(r) Future Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"--a replacement of FASB
Statement No. 125. This statement provides accounting and reporting standards
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities. Those standards are based on consistent application of a
financial-components approach that focuses on control. Under that approach,
after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes
financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities
when extinguished. This Statement provides consistent standards for
distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that
are secured borrowings. This Statement is effective for transfers and servicing
of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31,
2001. This Statement is effective for recognition and reclassification of
collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and
collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2001. This Statement is to
be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Therefore, earlier or
retroactive application of this Statement is not permitted. Adoption of this
standard is not expected to materially effect the results of operations or
financial position of the Company.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No.
141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142").
SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001 be accounted for under the purchase method and addresses the initial
recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in
a business combination. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination and
the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their
acquisition. SFAS No. 142 provides that intangible assets with finite useful
lives be amortized and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
will not be amortized, but will rather be tested at least annually for
impairment. SFAS No. 142 is effective January 1, 2002 for calendar year
companies, however, any acquired goodwill or intangible assets recorded in
transactions closed subsequent to June 30, 2001 will be subject immediately to
the nonamortization and amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. As required
under SFAS No. 142, the Company will discontinue the amortization of goodwill
with a net carrying value of $13.4 million at October 1, 2001 and annual
amortization of approximately $1.2 million that resulted from business
combinations prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 141.

(s) Reclassification

Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2001
presentation.

(2) ACQUISITION

In January 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Reliance Bancshares,
Inc. ("Reliance") for $25.4 million in stock and cash. Under the terms of the
agreement, each share of Reliance common stock was converted into either .25
shares of common stock of the Company or $5.20 in cash in accordance with
elections made by Reliance shareholders and subject to certain specified
allocation and proration procedures. The Company issued 734,564 shares of common
stock in connection with this transaction. The acquisition was treated as a
purchase transaction for accounting purposes. The related accounts and results
of operations are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements
from the date of acquisition. The acquisition of Reliance added $42.9 million in
assets, including additions of $25.7 million to net loans and $16.6 million to
deposits.

The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired of $3.2 million is
accounted for as goodwill and is being amortized over twenty five years using
the straight-line method. As required under SFAS No. 142, the Company will
discontinue the amortization of goodwill beginning October 1, 2001.

(3) RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

The Company is required to maintain as collateral unencumbered one- to
four-family mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities such that the
outstanding balance of FHLB advances does not exceed 60% of the book value of
unencumbered one- to four-family mortgage loans and 100% of the book value of
mortgage-related securities. In addition, these notes are collateralized by all
FHLB stock. At September 30, 2001 and 2000, $284.7 million and $392.1 million,
respectively, of mortgage loans and $409.2 million and $486.6 million,
respectively, of mortgage-related securities were pledged as collateral for FHLB
advances. FHLB advances are subject to a prepayment penalty if they are repaid
prior to maturity. The maximum amount of borrowings from the FHLB at any month
end during the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $545.5
million and $634.4 million, respectively. The approximate average amount
outstanding was $513.9 million and $572.8 million for those same years. The
weighted average interest rate was 5.62% and 5.42% during those years. The table
above is presented at maturity date or call date, whichever is earlier. Included
in the FHLB advances that mature in fiscal year 2002 are $420.0 million of
convertible fixed rate advances ("CFA"). A CFA is an advance that allows the
FHLB to demand repayment prior to the stated maturity date in accordance with
its contractual terms. At September 30, 2001, the $420.0 million of outstanding
CFA's have a maturity of 2005 to 2010 and are putable by the FHLB during fiscal
year 2002 and quarterly thereafter.

The Federal Reserve Bank advances are collateralized by agency debt with a
carrying value of $2.0 million at September 30, 2001 and 2000.

At September 30, 2001 and 2000, deferred tax assets include approximately $26.2
million and $29.7 million of various state net operating loss carry forwards
respectively, which begin to expire in 2007 and are reduced by the valuation
allowance to the extent full realization is in doubt. At September 30, 2001 all
low income housing credit carryovers from prior years have been utilized.

(13) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In accordance with federal regulations, at the time the Bank converted from a
federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank, the Bank
established a liquidation account equal to its retained earnings of $63.0
million to provide a limited priority claim for the benefit of qualifying
depositors who maintain their deposit accounts at the Bank after conversion. The
liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible account
holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not
restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the
unlikely event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event,
each eligible account holder would receive from the liquidation account a
liquidation distribution based on his or her proportionate share of the then
remaining qualifying deposits. At September 30, 2001, the balance of the
liquidation account was approximately $16.7 million. Under current regulations,
the Bank is not permitted to pay dividends on its stock if the effect would
reduce its regulatory capital below the liquidation account.

Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations also provide that an
institution that exceeds all fully phased-in capital requirements before and
after a proposed capital distribution could, and after prior notice but without
approval by the OTS, make capital distributions during the calendar year of up
to 100% of its net income to date during the calendar year plus the amount that
would reduce by one-half its "surplus capital ratio" (the excess capital over
its fully phased-in capital requirements) at the beginning of the calendar year.
Any additional capital distributions would require prior regulatory approval.
During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Bank paid dividends to the Company
totaling $12.0 million. As of September 30, 2001, retained earnings of the Bank
of approximately $33.5 million were free of restriction and available for
dividend payments.

Unlike the Bank, the Company is not subject to these regulatory restrictions on
the payment of dividends to its shareholders. However, the Company's source of
funds for future dividends may depend upon dividends from the Bank.

Under the Internal Revenue Code and the Wisconsin Statutes, for tax years
beginning before 1996, the Company was permitted to deduct an annual addition to
a reserve for bad debts. This amount differed from the provision for loan losses
recorded for financial accounting purposes. Under prior law, bad debt deductions
for income tax purposes were included in taxable income of later years only if
the bad debt reserves were used for purposes other than to absorb bad debt
losses. Because the Company did not intend to use the reserve for purposes other
than to absorb losses, no deferred income taxes were provided. Shareholders'
equity at September 30, 2001 includes approximately $21.9 million, for which no
federal or state income taxes were provided. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income
taxes have been provided on certain additions to the tax reserve for bad debts.

The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 repealed the bad debt reserve
method for tax years beginning after 1995. The Bank will not be required to
recapture into income any of the restricted amounts previously deducted except
in the unlikely event of a partial or complete liquidation of the Bank or if
nondividend distributions to shareholders exceed current and accumulated
earnings and profits.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional
discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of the Company's and the Bank's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total
and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as
defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).

Management believes, as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, that the Company and the
Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2001 and 2000, the most recent notification from the OTS
categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. A well-capitalized institution significantly exceeds
the required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institution's category.

The following table summarizes the Bank's capital ratios and the ratios required
by federal regulations:

</Table>

On September 25, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a shareholders'
rights plan (the "Rights Plan"). Under the terms of the Rights Plan, the Board
of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each
outstanding share of common stock. Upon becoming exercisable, each right
entitles shareholders to buy one one-hundredth of a share of the Company's
preferred stock at an exercise price of $150. Rights do not become exercisable
until eleven business days after any person or group has acquired, commenced, or
announced its intention to commence a tender or exchange offer to acquire 15% or
more of the Company's common stock, or in the event a person or group owning 10%
or more of the Company's common stock is deemed to be "adverse" to the Company.
If the rights become exercisable, holders of each right, other than the
acquiror, upon payment of the exercise price, will have the right to purchase
the Company's common stock (in lieu of preferred shares) having a value equal to
two times the exercise price. If the Company is acquired in a merger, share
exchange or other business combination or 50% or more of its consolidated assets
or earning power are sold, rights holders, other than the acquiring or adverse
person or group, will be entitled to purchase the acquiror's shares at a similar
discount. If the rights become exercisable, the Company may also exchange
rights, other than those held by the acquiring or adverse person or group, in
whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of the Company's common
stock per right held. Rights are redeemable by the Company at any time until
they are exercisable at the exchange rate of $.01 per right. Issuance of the
rights has no immediate dilutive effect, does not currently affect reported
earnings per share, is not taxable to the Company or its shareholders, and will
not change the way in which the Company's shares are traded. The rights expire
ten years from the date of issuance.

(14)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share of common stock for the years ended September 30, 2001,
2000 and 1999, have been determined by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per share of common stock have been determined by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. Total
shares outstanding for earnings per share calculation purposes for the years
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been reduced by the unallocated ESOP
shares that have not been committed to be released.

The computation of earnings per common share for the years ended September 30 is

(15)  STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On April 22, 1999, the Company announced a share repurchase program for its
common stock whereby the Company may purchase up to 5% of the outstanding common
stock, or approximately 505,000 shares, commencing April 29, 1999. The
repurchased shares became treasury shares and are to be used for the exercise of
stock options under the stock option plan and for general corporate purposes.
The share repurchase program was completed on June 30, 2000 at an average price
of $14.43 per share. This was the tenth such repurchase program that the Company
has undertaken. On June 30, 2000, the Company announced a share repurchase
program for its common stock whereby the Company may purchase up to 5% of the
outstanding common stock, or approximately 485,000 shares, commencing June 30,
2000. The repurchased shares became treasury shares and are to be used for the
exercise of stock options under the


                                       76
<PAGE>


stock option plan and for general corporate purposes. The share repurchase
program was completed on September 20, 2001 at an average price of $17.16 per
share. This was the eleventh such repurchase program that the Company has
undertaken. At September 30, 2001, an aggregate of 6,969,704 shares had been
repurchased in all such repurchase programs at an average price of $13.44. On
September 18, 2001, the Company announced a share repurchase program for its
common stock whereby the Company may purchase up to 5% of the outstanding stock,
or approximately 460,000 shares. The repurchase program started on September 20,
2001. At September 30, 2001, 37,800 shares had been repurchased at an average
price of $20.68 per share.

(16)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS:

The Company has a defined contribution pension plan which covers substantially
all employees who are at least 21 years of age and have completed 1,000 hours or
more of service each year. Company contributions are based on a set percentage
of each participant's compensation for the plan year. Plan expense for the years
ended September 2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $336,000, $96,000 and
$180,000, respectively.

The Company also has a defined contribution savings plan for substantially all
employees. The plan is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Participation in the plan requires that an employee be at least 21 years
of age and have completed 1,000 hours or more of service each year. Participants
may elect to defer a portion of their compensation (between 2% and 10%) and
contribute this amount to the plan. Under the plan, the Company will match the
contribution made by each employee up to fifty percent of 6% of the eligible
employee's annual compensation. Plan expense for the years ended September 30,
2001, 2000 and 1999 was approximately $272,000, $229,000 and $228,000,
respectively.

The aggregate benefit payable to any employee of both defined contribution plans
is dependent upon the rates of contribution, the earnings of the fund and the
length of time such employee continues as a participant.

OFFICER DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN:

The Company has deferred compensation plans covering certain officers of the
Company. These arrangements provide for monthly payments to be made upon
retirement or reaching certain age levels for periods of 10 to 15 years. A
liability is recorded for the present value of the future payments under these
agreements, amounting to $749,000 and $891,000, respectively at September 30,
2001 and 2000. The Company owns insurance policies on the lives of these
officers, which have cash surrender values of approximately $2.3 million and
$2.0 million, respectively at September 30, 2001 and 2000, and are intended to
fund these benefits. Plan expense for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000
and 1999 was approximately $56,000, $58,000 and $61,000, respectively.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN:

In conjunction with the conversion of the Bank to a stock savings bank, an
employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") was adopted covering all employees of the
Company who have attained age 21 and completed one year of service during which
they work at least 1,000 hours. The ESOP borrowed $4.9 million from the Company
and purchased 981,296 common shares issued in the conversion. The debt bears a
variable interest rate based on the borrower's prime lending rate. The Bank made
annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service less dividends
received by the ESOP. All dividends received by the ESOP were used to pay debt
service. The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt. As
the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active
employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Company
accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6.
Accordingly, the debt of the ESOP is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as
collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the statement of financial
position. As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports
compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares. The excess
of the current market price of shares released over the cost of those shares is
credited to paid-in-capital. As shares are released they become outstanding for
earnings-per-share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded
as a reduction of shareholders' equity;


                                       77
<PAGE>
dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and
accrued interest.

The Company made a voluntary acceleration of the repayment of all of the
remaining loan principal to its ESOP plan during the year ended September 30,
2000. The increased payments resulted in additional ESOP expense of $7.1 million
for the year ended September 30, 2000. All shares had been allocated at
September 30, 2000. For 2001, the Bank made cash contributions to the ESOP plan
based on a set percentage of each participant's compensation for the plan year.
All dividends received by the ESOP are allocated to the participants. All
contributions and dividends are used to purchase additional shares of stock.
ESOP compensation expense for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999
was $188,000, $8.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

STOCK OPTION PLANS:

The Company has adopted stock option plans for the benefit of directors and
officers of the Company. The option exercise price cannot be less than the fair
value of the underlying common stock as of the date of the option grant, and the
maximum term cannot exceed ten years. Stock options awarded to directors may be
exercised at any time or on a cumulative basis over varying time periods,
provided the grantee remains a director of the Company. The stock options
awarded to officers are exercisable on a cumulative basis over varying time
periods, depending on the individual option grant terms, which may include
provisions for acceleration of vesting periods.

At September 30, 2001, 60,650 shares were reserved for future grants. Further
information concerning the options is as follows:

For purposes of providing the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the fair value of stock options
granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The per
share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2001, 2000 and
1999 was $5.13, $4.37 and $5.51 respectively, on the date of grant with the
following weighted-average assumptions used for grants:

Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based plans been determined in
accordance with SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been
reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below. This pro forma net income
reflects only options granted in the fiscal years 1997 through 2001. Therefore,
the full impact of calculating compensation cost under SFAS No. 123 is not
reflected in the pro-forma net income and earnings per share amounts.

(17)  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to
reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts
recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The contractual or notional
amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has
in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for the commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for instruments reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates of 45 days or less or other termination
clauses and may require a fee. Fixed-rate loan commitments as of September 30,
2001 have interest rates ranging from 6.00% to 9.00%. Because some commitments
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent cash requirements. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each
customer on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed
necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's
credit evaluation of the counterparty. The Company generally extends credit on a
secured basis. Collateral obtained consists primarily of one- to four-family
residences and other residential and commercial real estate.

Loans sold with recourse represent one- to four-family mortgage loans that are
sold to secondary market agencies, primarily FNMA, with the servicing of these
loans being retained by the Company. The Company receives a larger servicing
spread on those loans being serviced then it would if the loans had been sold
without recourse.

The Company has entered into agreements whereby, for an initial and annual fee,
it will guarantee payment for an industrial development revenue bond issue
("IRB"). The IRBs are issued by municipalities to finance real estate owned by a
third party. Potential loss on a guarantee is the notional amount of the
guarantee less the value of the real estate collateral. At September 30, 2001,
appraised values of the real estate collateral exceeded the amount of the
guarantees.


                                       80
<PAGE>


Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the exchange of fixed and
variable rate interest payments without the exchange of the underlying notional
amount on which the interest rate payments are calculated. The notional amounts
of these agreements represent the amounts on which interest payments are
exchanged between the counterparties. The notional amounts do not represent
direct credit exposures. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the
event of nonperformance by the counterparties on interest rate payments but does
not expect any counterparty to fail to meet their obligations. The fixed
pay-floating receive agreements were entered into as hedges of the interest
rates on debt securities. The fixed receive-floating pay agreements were entered
into as hedges of the interest rates on fixed rate certificates of deposit.
Interest receivable or payable on interest rate swaps is recognized using the
accrual method. The use of interest rate swaps enables the Company to
synthetically alter the repricing characteristics of designated interest earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had a notional amount of $80 million in fixed
receive-floating pay agreements with maturity dates ranging from 2008 to 2009
and call dates ranging from October 2001 to February 2002. The agreements have
fixed interest rates ranging from 5.85% to 6.30% and variable interest rates
ranging from 3.43% to 3.73%.

The unused and open consumer lines of credit are conditional commitments issued
by the Company for extensions of credit such as home equity, auto, credit card
or other similar consumer type financing. Furthermore, the unused and open
commercial lines of credit are also conditional commitments issued by the
Company for extensions of credit such as working capital, equipment or other
similar commercial type financing. The credit risk involved in extending lines
of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities
to customers. Collateral held for these commitments may include, but may not be
limited to, real estate, investment securities, equipment, accounts receivable,
inventory and Company deposits.

The commitments to fund equity investments represent amounts SFEP is committed
to invest in low-income housing projects which would qualify for tax credits
under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The investment in
the low-income housing projects is included in the Company's balance sheet as
real estate held for investment.

The Company's primary business activities include granting residential mortgage
and consumer loans to customers located within the proximity of their branch
locations, primarily within the State of Wisconsin. Approximately $92.4 million
of commercial real estate and multi-family loans are outside Wisconsin as of
September 30, 2001.

In the normal course of business, various legal proceedings involving the
Company are pending. Management, based upon advice from legal counsel, does not
anticipate any significant losses as a result of these actions.

The Company leases 17 offices under agreements which expire at various dates
through August 2056, with twelve leases having renewable options. Rent expense
under these agreements totaled approximately $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $1.1
million for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

leases for the next five years and thereafter, are as follows:

(18)  FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS No. 107), requires disclosure of fair
value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases
where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates
using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are
materially affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and
estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates
cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases,
could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107
excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from
its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts
presented do not represent, and should not be interpreted to represent, the
underlying value of the Company.

The following table presents the estimates of fair value of financial
instruments at September 30, 2001:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the statement of
financial condition for cash and short-term instruments approximate those
assets' fair values.

DEBT AND EQUITY AND MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES: Fair values for debt
and equity and mortgage-backed and related securities are based on quoted market
prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values
are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE: The fair values for mortgage loans held for sale
are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with
securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.

LOANS RECEIVABLE: For variable-rate mortgage loans that reprice frequently and
with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying
values. The fair values for residential mortgage loans are based on quoted
market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization
transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values
for commercial real estate loans, rental property mortgage loans, and consumer
and other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers
of similar credit quality.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK: FHLB stock is carried at cost which is its
redeemable (fair) value since the market for this stock is limited.

CERTIFICATE ACCOUNTS: The fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates
currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected
monthly maturities of the outstanding certificates of deposit. In accordance
with


                                       83
<PAGE>
SFAS No. 107, the fair value of liabilities cannot be less than the
carrying value.

OTHER DEPOSITS: The fair values disclosed for other deposits, which include
interest and non-interest checking accounts, passbook accounts and money market
accounts, are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the
reporting date (i.e., their carrying value amounts).

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS: The fair values of the
Company's long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS: The fair value of the Company's off-balance sheet
instruments are based on quoted market prices and fees currently charged to
enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the credit standing of the related counterparty.

The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is based on the present
value of the swap using dealer quotes. These values represent the estimated
amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements, taking into
account current interest rates and market volatility. The carrying value of the
swaps at September 30, 2001 represents the fair value of the swaps and the net
accrued interest receivable. The carrying value of the swaps at September 30,
2000 represents the net accrued interest receivable.

The fair value estimates are presented for on-balance sheet financial
instruments without attempting to estimate the value of the Company's long-term
relationships with depositors and the benefit that results from low-cost funding
provided by deposit liabilities.

(19)  SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's operations include four strategic business segments: Retail
Banking, Commercial Banking, Mortgage Banking and Investments. Financial
performance is primarily based on the individual segments direct contribution to
Company net income. The Company's segments do not include the operations of the
parent holding company, nor the operations of the Bank's operating subsidiaries.
Capital is not allocated to the segments and thus net interest income related to
the free funding associated with capital is not included in the individual
segments. The Company only charges the segments with direct expenses. Costs
associated with administrative and centralized back-office support areas of the
Bank are not allocated to the segments. Income taxes are allocated to the
segments based on the Bank's effective tax rate prior to the consolidation with
its affordable housing subsidiary.

The Retail Banking segment consists of the Bank's retail deposits, branch and
ATM network, consumer lending operations, annuity and brokerage services and
call center. The segment includes a much higher level of interest-bearing
liabilities than earning assets. The Company views this segment as a significant
funding vehicle for the other lending segments. The Company's transfer pricing
model has the effect of viewing this segment as a comparison to the cost of
wholesale funds.

The Commercial Banking segment consists of the Bank's commercial, commercial
real estate and multi-family lending operations. It also includes the lending
aspects of the Company's affordable housing subsidiary.

The Mortgage Banking segment consists of the Bank's single-family mortgage
lending operation. Single-family lending consists of three primary operations:
portfolio lending, lending for sale in the secondary market and loan servicing.

The Investment segment consists of the Company's portfolio of mortgage-backed
and related securities, its debt and equity securities and other short-term
investments. This segment also includes the Company's wholesale sources of
funding including FHLB advances, brokered certificates of deposits, reverse
repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased.

(20)  DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Effective October 1, 2000, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Statement
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
establishes new rules for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and
hedging activities. The Company utilizes derivative hedging instruments in the
course of its asset/liability management. The hedging instruments primarily used
by the Company are interest rate swap agreements which are used to convert
fixed-rate payments or receipts to variable-rate payments or receipts and thus
hedge the Company's fair market value of the item being hedged. The items being
hedged generally expose the Company to variability in fair value in rising or
declining interest rate environments. In converting the fixed payment or receipt
to a variable payment or receipt, the interest rate swaps effectively reduce the
variability of the fair market value of the items being hedged.

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge the fair value of brokered
certificates of deposit ("CD's"). Hedges on brokered CD's account for the large
majority of the Company's hedging activity, with hedges on other items being
relatively nominal. The interest rate swaps that hedge brokered CD's are matched
with the CD as to final maturity, interest payment dates and call features. The
interest rate swaps are a floating pay-fixed receive instrument and as such,
they convert the fixed rate payment on the brokered CD's to a floating rate and
thus hedge the fair value of the brokered CD's from changes in interest rates.

The Company measures the effectiveness of its' hedges on a periodic basis. Any
difference between the fair value change of the hedge versus the fair value
change of the hedged item is considered to be the "ineffective" portion of the
hedge. The ineffective portion of the hedge is recorded as an increase or
decrease in the related income statement classification of the item being
hedged. If the ineffectiveness of a hedge exceeds certain levels the derivative
would no longer be eligible for hedge treatment and future


                                       86
<PAGE>
changes in fair value of the derivative would be recorded on the income
statement.


The Company's commitments to originate mortgage loans held-for-sale are
considered a derivative under the accounting standards. As such, the change in
fair value of such commitments, are recorded as an adjustment to the gains on
the sale of loans.

As of the adoption date of Statement 133, the Company had two interest rate swap
agreements that were not considered hedges under the accounting standard. Both
agreements were terminated during the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The fair
value of the agreements as of October 1, 2000 is included in the cumulative
effect of an accounting change and the change in fair value during the quarter
is included in securities gains (losses) in the income statement.

Upon adoption of Statement 133, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of an
accounting change in an amount equal to the accounting effects of the statement
as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The cumulative effect, net of taxes, was
a decrease in net income of $84,000.

During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Company recorded the effects of
the ineffectiveness of any hedge transaction or the change in fair value on
other derivatives as part of the income statement line item pertaining to each
item. The after-tax effect of the changes was a decrease in net income of
$79,000. The individual changes in value resulted in an increase of $146,000 in
interest expense on deposits, an increase of $14,000 in gain on sale of loans
and a decrease of $53,000 in income tax expense.
