NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2000
NOTE 1 - A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting for
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the nine month period ended Sept 30, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 2000.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in American Bancorp, Inc.'s
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
NOTE 2 - IMPAIRED LOANS
On January 1, 1995 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan." The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material
impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
Interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to principal if
there is doubt as to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these
receipts are recorded as interest income.
As it relates to in-substance foreclosures, SFAS No. 114 requires that
a creditor continue to follow loan classification on the balance sheet
unless the creditor receives physical possession of the collateral. The
Company had no in-substance foreclosures in foreclosed assets to transfer
to nonperforming loans and no related reserve for losses to transfer to the
reserve for possible loan losses.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTIES
Directors, executive officers, and 10% shareholders and their related
interest had loans outstanding totaling $1,590,000 at Sept 30, 2000.
NOTE 4- EARNING PER SHARE
The earnings per share computations are based on weighted average
number of shares outstanding during each quarter of 117,657 and 117,727 for
the quarters ended Sept 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively and during each
nine month period of 117,686 and 117,941 for the nine month periods ended
Sept 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion presents a review of the major factors and trends
affecting the performance of the Company and its bank subsidiary and should be
read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and
notes.
OVERVIEW
The Company reported net income of $959,000 for the first nine months of
2000 compared to $854,000 for the same period of 1999. The Company reported net
income of $318,000 for the three months ended Sept 30, 2000 compared to $284,000
for the same period of 1999. On a per share basis, the net income was $8.15 for
the first nine months of 2000 compared to $7.24 for the same period on 1999 and
$2.70 for the quarter ended Sept 30, 2000 compared to $2.41 for the same
quarter of 1999. The Company recorded a provision for possible loan losses of $0
for the nine month periods ended Sept 30, 2000 and 1999 and $0 for the three
month periods ended Sept 30, 2000 and 1999. Net interest income increased 10.6%
to $2,741,000 for the nine month period ended Sept 30, 2000 compared to
$2,478,000 for the same period of 1999. Net interest income increased 8.0% to
$918,000 for the three month period ended Sept 30, 2000 compared to $850,000 for
the same period of 1999.
Total assets were $78,045,000 at Sept 30, 2000, a decrease of $2,187,000
from December 31, 1999. Loans increased by $1,353,000 or 4.8% from $28,253,000
at December 31, 1999 to $29,606,000 at Sept 30, 2000. Deposits decreased by
$3,475,000 or 4.9% from $70,434,000 at December 31, 1999 to $66,959,000 at Sept
30, 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the nine months ended Sept 30,
2000 totaled $2,741,000, a $263,000 increase from the same period in 1999. Net
interest income for the three months ended Sept 30, 2000 totaled $918,000 a
$68,000 increase from the same period of 1999. Factors contributing to these
increases include an increase in the average balance of investment securities
and of loans as well as an increase in the average rate earned on taxable
investment securities and on loans. This positive effect was partially negated
by a decrease in the average balance of federal funds sold. The overall effect
of volume and rate changes on net interest income during the nine month period
ended Sept 30, 2000 and the three month period ended Sept 30, 2000 was
favorable.
PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded no provision for
possible loan losses for both the first nine months of 2000 and 1999 and no
provision for the three month periods ended Sept 30, 2000 and 1999. The absence
of a provision is the result of continued improvements in asset quality and low
net charge offs of loans. As a percentage of outstanding loans, the allowance
for possible loan losses was 1.89% and 2.01% at Sept 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999, respectively. The provision is determined by the level of net charge offs,
the size of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, anticipated
economic conditions, and review of financial condition of specific customers.
NONINTEREST INCOME. For the first nine months of 2000 noninterest income
increased $40,000 or 8.4% compared to the same period of 1999. For the three
month period ended Sept 30, 2000 noninterest income increased $6,000 or 3.9%
compared to the same period of 1999.
Other non-interest income increased by $44,000 or 67.7% for the nine month
period ended Sept 30, 2000 compared to the same period of 1999. Other
noninterest increased by $4,000 or 23.5% for the three month period ended Sept
30, 2000 compared to the same period of 1999. Part of these increases is the
result of an an increase in miscellaneous income and a gain on the sale of fixed
assets in the first nine months of 2000.
There were no securities gains in the nine month periods ended Sept 30, 2000 and
1999 nor in the three month periods ended Sept 30, 2000 and 1999.
<PAGE> 10
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first nine months of 2000 noninterest expense
increased $174,000 or 9.8% compared to the same period in 1999. For the three
month period ended Sept 30, 2000 noninterest expense increased $30,000 or 4.9%
compared to the same period in 1999.
Salaries and employee benefits , the largest component of noninterest expense,
increased by $74,000 or 8% for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to
the same period in 1999. This increase was attributed to an overall increase in
salaries. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $7,000 or 2.2% for the
three month period ended Sept 30, 2000 as compared to the same period of 1999.
This increase is also attributed to an overall increase in salaries.
INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $351,000
for the nine month period ended Sept 30, 2000 as compared to $327,000 for the
same period of 1999. The provision for income taxes recorded for the three month
period ended Sept 30, 2000 is $117,000 compared to $107,000 for the same period
in 1999.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LOANS. Loans were $29,606,000 at Sept 30, 2000; up by $1,353,000 or 4.8%

TABLE III - NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans, loans which are contractually 90
days past due, restructured loans, and foreclosed assets. Restructured loans are
loans which, due to a deteriorated financial condition of the borrower, have a
below market yield. Interest payments received on nonperforming loans are
applied to reduce principal if there is doubt as to the collectibility of the
principal; otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income. Certain
nonperforming loans are current as to principal and interest payments are
classified as nonperforming because there is a question concerning full
collectibility of both principal and interest.
Nonperforming assets totaled $4,000 at Sept 30, 2000, a $105,000 (96.3%)
decrease from December 31, 1999. The composition of nonperforming assets are
illustrated below:
