changes in the quality or composition of the Savings Bank's loan and investment
portfolios and the investment portfolio of FNII.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
BALANCE SHEET
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. Cash and cash equivalents were $4.4 million greater
at March 31, 1998, as compared to December 31, 1997, primarily as the result of
regular month end customer deposits made to demand deposit accounts on
March 31, 1998. These funds are not available to be used until the following
day. Any cash that is not immediately needed to fund loans or operations is
invested in overnight interest-earning deposits or short-term borrowings are
repaid.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE. Investment securities available-for-sale
increased approximately $2.4 million as of March 31, 1998, as compared to
December 31, 1997, primarily as the result of purchases of U.S. Government
and Agency securities and increases in the market value of some investment
securities.
Mortgage-related securities available-for-sale decreased $0.4 million at
March 31, 1998, as compared to December 31, 1997, as a result of prepayments
and repayments of the underlying mortgage loans.
SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY. Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased
$2.0 million primarily as a result of maturities or calls of U.S. Government
and agency securities.
Mortgage-related securities held-to-maturity decreased $0.9 million as a result
of prepayments and repayments of the underlying mortgage loans.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE. At March 31, 1998, First Northern had $7.1 million of
fixed interest rate mortgage and education loans classified as held for sale.
First Northern originates and sells most of its thirty (30) year fixed interest
rate mortgage loans and all of its education loans. Fifteen (15) year fixed
interest rate mortgage loan originations are retained in First Northern's loan
portfolio and in the first quarter of 1997, First Northern began to retain its
twenty (20) year fixed interest rate mortgage loan originations. The retention
of the twenty year fixed interest rate mortgage was in response to First
Northern's overall asset/liability position.
LOANS RECEIVABLE. Loans receivable increased $0.2 million at March 31, 1998,
as compared to December 31, 1997, as a result of mortgage loan originations and
purchases.
Loan originations and purchases are as follows:

======= =======
</TABLE>
Mortgage loan originations and purchases for the first quarter of 1998
increased as compared to the same period in 1997 primarily as the result of
increased refinances of existing First Northern loans and loans originated by
others. These increased originations are the result of the overall low
mortgage loan interest rates of fixed interest rate mortgage loans and the
favorable economy in First Northern's market area in the first quarter of 1998.
First Northern sold $11.7 million of fixed interest rate mortgage loans in the
first quarter of 1998 as compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 1997.
First Northern retains all adjustable interest rate mortgage loan originations
in its portfolio; whereas, most 30 year fixed interest rate mortgage loan
originations are sold in the secondary market. In addition, $0.8 million of
education loans were sold in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.
First Northern's management contractually committed to sell its existing
education loan portfolio and to sell its ongoing education loan originations.
Consumer loan originations and purchases were $22.1 million in the first
quarter of 1998 primarily as a result of increased automobile loan originations
in the Savings Bank's jointly owned subsidiary, SFC. SFC automobile loan
originations increased as a result of new business relationships with
additional automobile dealers throughout the state of Wisconsin.
<PAGE>
PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER ASSETS. Prepaid expenses and other assets, which is
primarily composed of bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") increased slightly at
March 31, 1998, as compared to December 31, 1997. This increase was the result
of increased cash surrender and account value of BOLI. First Northern's BOLI
cash surrender/account value at March 31, 1998, was $12.1 million as compared
to $11.7 million at December 31, 1997.
DEPOSITS. Deposits increased $13.1 million for the first three months of 1998
as a result of offering competitive interest rates, the acquisition of "jumbo"
(certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000) deposits and increased demand
deposits. At times, jumbo deposits are a cheaper source of funds than retail
deposits or borrowing. First Northern's jumbo deposits increased $4.9 million
in the first three months of 1998.
BORROWINGS. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings decreased $5.0 million
in the first quarter of 1998, primarily as the result of increased loan sales
and increased deposits. First Northern will borrow monies if the borrowing
interest rate is a less costly form of funding for loans and investments than
acquiring deposits. At March 31, 1998, $83.0 million are fixed interest rate
borrowings and $15.3 million are overnight borrowings. First Northern
anticipates that it will continue to utilize borrowings in 1998 if borrowings
incrementally add to the overall profitability of the Company.
ADVANCE PAYMENTS BY BORROWERS FOR TAXES AND INSURANCE. Advance payments by
borrowers for taxes and insurance ("escrow") decreased $0.9 million at March
31, 1998, as compared to December 31, 1997. The decrease in escrow dollars was
the result of the payment of First Northern's customers tax payments from
customer's real estate tax escrow accounts.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY. First Northern paid a cash dividend of $0.09 per share on
February 15, 1998, to stockholders of record on January 30, 1998. The increase
of $0.01 per share represents a 12.5% increase over the first quarter of 1997
cash dividend of $0.08 per share.
On March 20, 1998, First Northern approved a third stock repurchase program to
repurchase up to 446,101 shares (5% of total shares outstanding) through the
open market. These repurchased shares will be used to satisfy exercises of
stock options. At March 31, 1998, 5,000 shares had been purchased at an
average price of $13.50 per share.
<PAGE>
ASSET QUALITY
First Northern currently classifies any loan on which a payment is 90 days or
more past due as non-performing. The following table summarizes non-performing
loans and assets:

=== ===
</TABLE>
Total non-performing loans increased $155,000 as of March 31, 1998, as compared
to December 31, 1997, primarily as a result of an increase in non-performing
mortgage loans. Management believes non-performing loans and assets, expressed
as a percentage of total loans and assets, are far below state and national
averages. There are no accruing, material loans which, at March 31, 1998,
management has reason to believe will become non-performing or result in
potential losses.
In addition, management believes that the Savings Bank's allowances for loan
losses are adequate. While management uses available information to recognize
losses on loans and real estate owned, future additions to the allowances may
be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. Furthermore, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review First Northern's allowances for losses on loans and
real estate owned. Such agencies may require First Northern to recognize
additions to the allowances based on the agencies' judgment of information
available to them at the time of their examination.
All of First Northern's loans are domestic.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET AND YIELD/RATE ANALYSIS
The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar
amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets, the resultant
yields, and the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities,
expressed both in dollars and rates. No tax equivalent adjustments were made.
Average balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields and rates
are established by dividing income or expense dollars by the average balance
of the asset or liability. The yields and rates for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 have been annualized.

RATE VOLUME ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME
The interaction of changes in volume and rates earned or paid with regard to
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities has a significant
impact on net income between periods. The volume of interest-earning dollars
in loans and investments compared to the volume of interest-bearing dollars in
deposits and borrowings combined with the interest rate spread produces the
changes in net interest income between periods.
The following table sets forth the relative contribution of changes in volume
and effective interest rates on changes in net interest income for the periods
indicated.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS AND INCOME
GENERAL. Net income for the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the first
three months of 1997 increased 17.6%. The increase was primarily the result of
increased interest-earning assets outstanding and the increase in non-interest
income.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income on mortgage loans increased $616,000 in the
first quarter of 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997 as a result of
the increased dollar amount of mortgage loans outstanding and the increased
average yield on the mortgage portfolio. The average mortgage loans
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1998, increased 5.8% as
compared to the average mortgage loans outstanding for the same period in 1997.
However, since the beginning of 1998, First Northern has been reducing the
level of upward interest rate adjustments or in some cases, de-escalating
interest rate adjustable mortgage loans in response to the current interest
rates on fixed and adjustable mortgage loans. The current interest rate
environment also has made fixed interest rate mortgage loans more popular. In
the first quarter of 1998, $35.9 million of fixed interest rate mortgage loans
were originated as compared to $24.5 million in the first quarter of 1997.
First Northern retains the 15 and 20 year fixed interest rate mortgage loans in
its portfolio while selling its 30 year fixed interest rate mortgage loans.
The sale of 30 year fixed interest rate mortgage loans, along with the
refinancing of existing mortgage loans, resulted in $0.3 million growth in the
mortgage loan dollars outstanding in the first quarter of 1998.
Interest income on consumer loans increased $356,000 in the first quarter of
1998 as compared to the same period in 1997, as a result of increased consumer
loans outstanding. The average consumer loans outstanding increased $19.6
million in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.
This increase in average consumer loans outstanding is primarily the result of
increased purchases of indirect automobile loans from SFC. The average yield
on consumer loans decreased slightly in the first quarter of 1998 as compared
to the same in 1997 as a result of overall market interest rates declining and
the corresponding offering interest rates on consumer loan following the
trend.
Average investment securities increased $4.9 million for the first three months
of 1998 as compared to the first three months of 1997 which resulted in an
increase in investment securities income of $78,000. First Northern purchases
investment securities when it incrementally adds to the overall profitability
of the Company and to aid in its asset and liability management.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense on deposits increased $476,000 in the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997 as a result of increased
deposits outstanding and increased cost of deposits. First Northern has
utilized non-traditional time deposit terms and "special" interest rates on
those non-traditional time deposit terms to attract new deposits. In addition,
the Savings Bank has acquired jumbo deposits to aid its deposit growth (See
Financial Condition--Branch Sheets--Deposits).
Interest expense on borrowing increased $374,000 in the first quarter of 1998
as compared to the first quarter of 1997 as a result of increased average
borrowings outstanding. First Northern anticipates it will continue to
emphasize growth in interest-earning assets and will fund a portion of this
growth with borrowings if it incrementally adds to the profitability to the
Company. First Northern primarily borrows from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Chicago and ladders its maturities from overnight to 6 years.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. First Northern increased its provision for loan
losses in the first quarter of 1998 as a result of changes within the
composition of the loan portfolio and anticipated growth in the loan portfolio.
The loan loss allowance as of March 31, 1998, was $3,268,000 or .54% of total
loans and 549.2% of non-performing loans.
Management believes that the current loan loss allowance is adequate; however,
the adequacy of the loan loss allowance is reviewed as historical loan loss
experience changes, the size and composition of the loan portfolio changes,
changes occur in the general economy and as may otherwise be deemed necessary.
<PAGE>
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Fees on serviced loans for the first quarter of 1998
decreased primarily as a result of the amortization of mortgage servicing
assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As the
principle of a mortgage loan which was sold, repays or prepays, the mortgage
servicing asset is reduced and netted from fees on serviced loans, thereby
reducing the income on the serviced loans.
Deposit account service charges increased $10,000 in the first quarter of 1998
primarily as a result of debit card fee income. Each time a Savings Bank debit
card is used, a fee, which varies with each merchant, is paid to the Savings
Bank by the debit card company. The Savings Bank promotes the use of its debit
card by direct mail.
Gains on the sale of loans increased substantially in the first quarter of 1998
as compared to the first quarter of 1997 as a result of increased loan sales.
First Northern sold $11.7 million of mortgage loans and $0.8 million of
education loans in the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to
$2.9 million of mortgage loans and $0.8 million of education loans for
the same period in 1997.
Other non-interest income increased $136,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997, primarily as the result
of BOLI. In December of 1997, First Northern purchased $7.4 million of life
insurance to partially offset the cost of employee benefits. Interest on BOLI
for the first quarter of 1998 was approximately $160,000 as compared to $43,000
for the first quarter in 1997.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Compensation expense increased $21,000 in the first
quarter of 1998 as a result of salary increases and related expenses.
Federal insurance premiums increased $16,000 as a result of increased deposits.
Data processing expense increased $26,000 in the first quarter of 1998
primarily as the result of the PC based teller system installed in 1997 and its
related expenses.
Furniture and equipment expense decreased $15,000 in the first three months of
1998 primarily as a result of a reduction in furniture and equipment
depreciation. A number of pieces of furniture were fully depreciated in the
fourth quarter of 1997, thereby reducing the depreciation expense in the first
quarter of 1998.
Other expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared
to the same period in 1997 primarily as a result of increased costs associated
with the operations of SFC, professional fees and costs associated with the
debit-card.
INCOME TAXES. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 1998 was
36.3% as compared to 37.9% in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease in
effective income tax rate in the first quarter of 1998 was the result of the
purchase of BOLI. Since the Company intends to hold the life insurance
policies until the participants death, BOLI interest income is not taxable.
<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
LIQUIDITY
Federal regulations historically have required the Savings Bank to maintain
minimum levels of liquid assets. The required percentage has varied from time
to time based upon economic conditions and savings flows, and is currently 5%
of net withdrawable deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year
or less during the preceding calendar month. Liquid assets for purposes of
this ratio include cash, certain time deposits, U.S. Government and agency
securities and other obligations generally having remaining maturities of less
than five years. The Savings Bank has historically maintained its liquidity
ratio at a level in excess of that required by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS"). The Savings Bank's monthly average liquidity ratio at March 31, 1998,
was 5.90%, as compared to 5.67% at December 31, 1997. The liquidity ratio
increased slightly as compared to the liquidity ratio at December 31, 1997, as
a result of the purchase of investment securities. The Savings Bank believes
that its maintenance of excess liquidity, above the 5% federally required total
liquidity ratio, is an appropriate strategy to aid in proper asset and
liability management.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of
management. The Savings Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based
upon managements' assessment of: (i) expected loan demand; (ii) expected
deposit flows; (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits; and
(iv) the objectives of its asset and liability management program. Excess
liquidity is invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits and
other short-term government and agency obligations. When the Savings Bank
requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it can borrow
funds from the FHLB of Chicago or other sources. The FHLB of Chicago limits
advances to member institutions to an aggregate amount not to exceed 35% of
the member institution's total assets. Wisconsin law permits First Northern
to borrow, without the prior written approval of the Wisconsin Department of
Financial Institutions --- Division of Savings Institutions, to borrow in the
aggregate amount not to exceed 50% of its total assets.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REGULATORY INFORMATION
First Northern's net worth to total assets ratio at March 31, 1998, for State
of Wisconsin regulatory requirements was 10.28% or 4.28% over the Wisconsin
minimum legal requirement of 6.00% of total assets established by the
Division of Savings Institutions of the Department of Financial Institutions,
which regulates First Northern. The OTS capital rules require savings
associations to meet three separate capital standards: (i)Tangible capital
equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets; (ii) Core capital equal to 3% of
adjusted total assets; and (iii) Risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of the value
of risk weighted assets.
As of March 31, 1998, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the
Savings Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Savings Bank must
maintain minimum tangible, core and risk based ratios as set forth in the
table. As a state-chartered savings institution, the Savings Bank is also
subject to a minimum capital requirement of the State of Wisconsin. Management
believes, as of March 31, 1998, that the Savings Bank exceeds all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the
Savings Bank's categorization as well capitalized.
The Savings Bank's required and actual capital amounts and ratios are presented
in the following table.
