REVOLVING NOTE
$20,000,000 Dated: October 15, 1996
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ST. PAUL BANCORP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Maker") promises to pay to the order of LASALLE NATIONAL BANK, a national
banking association (the "Bank") the lesser of: the principal sum of TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS ($20,000,000), or the aggregate unpaid principal amount
outstanding under the Revolving Loan Agreement dated September 15, 1995 (as
amended from time to time, the "Loan Agreement") between the Bank and the Maker
at the maturity or maturities and in the amount or amounts as stated on the
records of the Bank together with interest (computed on actual days elapsed on
the basis of a 360 day year) on any and all principal amounts outstanding
hereunder from time to time from the date hereof until maturity. Interest
shall be payable at the rates of interest and the times set forth in the Loan
Agreement. In no event shall any principal amount have a maturity later than
the Revolving Credit Termination Date, as that term is defined in the Loan
Agreement.
This Note shall be available for direct advances.
Principal and interest shall be paid to the Bank at its office at 135
South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60674, or at such other place as the
holder of this Note may designate in writing to the Maker. This Note may be
prepaid in whole or in part as provided for in the Loan Agreement.

The holder of this Note is entitled to all of the benefits provided for in the
Loan Agreement.
The Maker agrees that in action or proceeding instituted to collect or
enforce collection of this Note, the amount on the Bank's records shall be
conclusive and binding evidence, absent demonstrable error, of the unpaid
principal balance of this Note.
This note is in substitution and replacement of, but not repayment for, a
Revolving Note of the Maker to the Bank dated September 15, 1995 in the
principal amount of $20,000,000 and is in no way intended as a novation
therefor.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW
St. Paul Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is the holding company for St. Paul
Federal Bank For Savings (the "Bank"), the largest independent savings
institution in the State of Illinois. At Dec. 31, 1996, the Company reported
total assets of $4.4 billion. The Bank operates 52 branches in the Chicago
metropolitan area, comprised of 35 free-standing offices and 17 banking offices
located in Omni(R) and Cub(R) supermarkets. The Bank intends to add to its
branch network during 1997 by opening de novo branches with similar initial
capital investment requirements as the Bank's in-store locations, such as a
branch in a store-front or neighbohood shopping center.
During 1996, the Bank significantly expanded its automated teller machine
("ATM") network to 457 with the addition of 260 ATMs in White Hen Pantry
convenience stores in the eight-county Chicago area, including stores in
northwest Indiana. The Bank now operates the largest number of ATM sites (431)
in the Chicago area. The Bank also serviced approximately 178,000 checking
accounts and 27,000 loans at Dec. 31, 1996.
Both the Company and the Bank continued to operate other wholly owned
financial services companies during 1996, including St. Paul Financial
Development Corporation ("SPFD"), Annuity Network, Inc., SPF Insurance Agency,
Inc. (formerly St. Paul Service, Inc.), and Investment Network, Inc. As of Dec.
31, 1996, customers maintained $532 million of investments through Investment
Network, Inc. and $325 million of annuity contracts through Annuity Network,
Inc. SPFD is primarily a residential land development company focused in the
greater Chicagoland area and, from time to time, participates in commercial
real estate development projects. At Dec. 31, 1996, SPFD had $19.0 million in
real estate equity and financing investments. See Note A - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies for descriptions of all affiliates and
subsidiaries.
In general, the business of the Bank is to reinvest funds obtained from
its retail banking facilities into interest-yielding assets, such as loans
secured by mortgages on real estate, securities, and to a lesser extent,
consumer and commercial real estate loans. The Bank's 1-4 family residential
mortgage products are originated through its retail banking offices and
telephone banking facility, as well as a correspondent loan program in the
Chicago metropolitan area and Midwestern states (including Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan, and Ohio). During 1996, the Bank also emphasized the origination of a
variety of consumer loan products, including home equity loans, secured lines
of credit, education, auto and credit card loans through the retail banking
offices. The Bank has also entered into agreements to sell lesser quality home
equity loans to third parties rather than retaining them for its portfolio, and
is entering into similar agreements for automobile loans.
The Bank offers mortgage loans to qualifying borrowers to finance
apartment buildings located in several Midwestern states. The Bank currently
offers products under this Midwest multifamily lending program in Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Ohio, and is considering expanding the
geographic area to include other Midwestern states. In addition, the Bank's
Board of Directors has provided for a limited expansion of the Bank's
nationwide multifamily lending program. The Board has authorized the
origination of new multifamily loans in those markets where Management believes
the economies are strong and where the Bank currently has a multifamily
servicing portfolio or to borrowers with whom the Bank has a long standing
relationship. See Credit Risk Management for further details.
During 1996, the Bank purchased $618.7 million of 1-4 family adjustable
rate whole loans secured by real estate located throughout the nation. The Bank
also originated $245.4 million of loans secured by 1-4 family homes, excluding
home equity and line of credit loans, compared to $209.8 million during 1995.
Originations and purchases under the Bank's Midwest multifamily program
continued to increase, rising from $41.8 million during 1995 to $81.4 million
in 1996; originations during 1997 are expected to increase to $100 million. The
Bank increased the origination of home equity/line of credit loans and other
consumer loans to $85.0 million during 1996 from $75.5 million during 1995.
The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), government
and other investment-grade, liquid securities. The Bank classified investment
securities as either available for sale ("AFS") or held to maturity ("HTM")
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
As a consumer-oriented retail financial institution, the Bank gathers
deposits from the neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs of the metropolitan
Chicago area, which largely have favorable savings patterns and high levels of
home ownership. The Bank offers a variety of deposit products including
checking, savings, money market accounts and certificates of deposit ("CDs").
The Bank also relies on borrowings to help finance operations and the creation
of interest-earning assets.
During 1996, Management focused its efforts on expanding interest-earning
asset levels to enhance net interest income. The growth in earning asset levels
was accomplished mainly through the purchase of 1-4 family whole
20 St. Paul Bancorp, Inc.
<PAGE> 4
loans and increased loan originations. The growth in earning asset
levels was partially funded through higher deposit balances, primarily CD
balances, and increased borrowings. The Company also was able to increase
non-interest income, largely through the expansion of the ATM network and
higher revenues from the Bank's discount brokerage operations. However, these
increases in income were partly offset by higher general and administrative
expenses.
During 1996, general and administrative expenses included a $21.0 million
charge related to enacted legislation that recapitalized the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and reduced the disparity in insurance
premiums paid by members of the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). This
legislation required members of SAIF, such as the Bank, to pay a one-time
special assessment of 65.7 cents per $100 of deposits as of Mar. 31, 1995 to
fully capitalize SAIF to the desired levels. Beginning in 1997, annual SAIF
insurance premiums will drop to about 6.5 cents per $100 of deposits, while BIF
premiums will be 1.3 cents per $100 of deposits. The Company's third quarter
operating results included the $21.0 million charge for the Bank's share of the
special assessment. Based upon current deposit levels, Management estimates
that future SAIF insurance premiums will be reduced by $5.5 million annually
beginning in 1997.
Other legislation enacted in 1996 also eliminated the availability of the
percentage-of-taxable income bad debt method for federal income tax purposes,
and requires the use of the specific charge-off method. Previously, the Bank
could use either method. The legislation also eliminated the tax recapture rule
for the base year tax reserve (i.e., tax bad debt reserves established before
1988) if the Bank were to fail the qualified thrift lender test. As a result of
the legislation, the base year tax reserve becomes subject to recapture only if
St. Paul ceases to be categorized as a "bank" or makes distributions of the tax
bad debt reserves to shareholders. However, the legislation does require the
Bank to recapture, into taxable income, $547,000 of additions made to the tax
bad debt reserve since 1988. This recapture will occur over a six-year period
beginning with the 1996 tax year, but can be delayed for two years if the Bank
meets recently developed loan origination tests.
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company were $4.4 billion at Dec. 31, 1996, an increase of
$240.5 million or 5.8% over total assets at Dec. 31, 1995. Most of the increase
in total assets occurred in MBS and loan receivable balances. On the liability
side, deposit balances grew by $105.2 million and net borrowing balances rose
by $119.8 million.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $190.2 million at Dec. 31, 1996,
compared to $186.6 million at Dec. 31, 1995. See Cash Flow Activity and
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for further details.
Marketable-debt securities, comprised of U.S. Treasury and agency issues,
declined to $49.1 million at Dec. 31, 1996 from $92.8 million at Dec. 31, 1995.
Maturities and the sale of a $10.0 million AFS marketable-debt security
produced the decline. The weighted average yield of these securities was 5.37%
at year end 1996, up slightly from the 5.34% at the end of 1995. At year end
1996, all the Bank's marketable-debt securities were classified as AFS under
SFAS No. 115. The Company recorded an unrealized loss of $137,000 on the AFS
portfolio at Dec. 31, 1996, compared to an unrealized loss of $62,000 at Dec.
31, 1995.
The MBS portfolio totaled $1.2 billion at Dec. 31, 1996, compared to
$975.4 million at Dec. 31, 1995. The increase in MBS balances was largely
associated with the securitization of a portion of the Bank's loans receivable
portfolio into MBS. In December 1996, the Bank securitized $381 million of 1-4
family adjustable rate loans into MBS issued by the Federal National Mortgage
Association. The Bank continues to hold these assets in its MBS portfolio and
classifies the securities as AFS. This securitization of MBS allows the Bank to
borrow in a more cost-effective way. Management plans to grow its balance sheet
in 1997 by pledging these securities to borrow funds to invest in loans.
Principal repayments received during the year partly offset the increase. See
Cash Flow Activity and Note T - Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet
Credit Risk for further detail.
The weighted average yield of the entire MBS portfolio was 6.92% at Dec.
31, 1996, compared to 6.49% at Dec. 31, 1995. Upward repricing in the
adjustable rate MBS during the year and the addition of new securities, which
had yields higher than the original MBS portfolio, generated the increase in
the weighted average rate over the course of the year. At Dec. 31, 1996, 77% of
the MBS portfolio had adjustable rate characteristics, compared to 66% at Dec.
31, 1995. At year end 1996, slightly more than half of the MBS balances were
classified as AFS under SFAS No. 115. At Dec. 31, 1996, the Company recorded an
unrealized gain on its AFS MBS of $3.8 million, compared to an unrealized loss
of $1.4 million at Dec. 31, 1995. The securitization of the $381 million of
MBS, which had a $9.9 million unrealized gain, primarily produced the increase
in the overall unrealized gain on the AFS MBS portfolio during 1996.
Under SFAS No. 115, unrealized gains and losses on AFS investment
securities are recorded in stockholders' equity, net of the related taxes, and
transfers between investment categories are allowed only in limited
circumstances. However, during 1995, the Company transferred $69.6 million of
marketable-debt securities, with an unrealized loss of $7,000 ($4,500, net of
the related tax), and $190.7 million of MBS, with an unrealized loss of $3.0
million ($1.9 million, net of the related tax), from the HTM category to the
AFS
1996 Annual Report/10-K 21
<PAGE> 5
category under the provisions of A Guide to Implementation of Statement No.
115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. This
Statement was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in
November of 1995. This guide permitted a one-time transfer of securities
between categories without calling into question prior or subsequent portfolio
classifications. See Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note
C - Marketable-Debt Securities, and Note D - Mortgage-Backed Securities for
further details.
Loans receivable totaled $2.8 billion at Dec. 31, 1996, or $98.2 million
higher than at Dec. 31, 1995. During 1996, the Bank purchased $618.7 million of
1-4 family whole loans and $6.6 million of multifamily loans. These purchases,
combined with originations of loans held for investment, were partly offset by
principal repayments and the securitization of $381 million of loans into MBS.
At year end 1996, 82% of loans receivable had adjustable rate characteristics,
compared to 81% at year end 1995. See Results of Operations - Comparison of
Years Ended Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995 - Net Interest Income for further
discussion.
The weighted average yield on loans receivable declined 3 basis points to
7.66% at Dec. 31, 1996 from 7.69% at Dec. 31, 1995. The repayment of higher
yielding loans, offset by a modest amount of upward repricing in the adjustable
rate portfolio, produced the slight decline in the weighted average rate.
Deposit balances increased $105.3 million to a total of $3.3 billion at
Dec. 31, 1996. The increase in balances was primarily due to a $100.4 million
increase in CD balances. During 1996, the Bank emphasized the sale of
shorter-term CDs, such as an 11-month product which was sold mainly during the
last half of the year and attracted nearly $750 million of deposits. The
heavier reliance on CDs also contributed to the increase in the weighted
average deposit rate, which increased to 4.31% at Dec. 31, 1996 from 4.29% at
year end 1995. The higher-costing CDs comprised 61% of total deposit balances
at Dec. 31, 1996, up from 60% at year end 1995. While CD balances rose,
checking, savings and money market accounts together grew by only $4.8 million.
An increase in the weighted average rate on money market accounts also
contributed to the rise in the overall weighted average deposit rate. At Dec.
31, 1996, the weighted average maturity of the CD portfolio was twelve months,
unchanged from Dec. 31, 1995. See Cash Flow Activity, Results of Operations -
Years Ended Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995 and Note N - Deposits for further details.
During 1996, the Company used additional borrowings to fund asset growth.
Total borrowing balances increased $119.8 million to total $561.2 million at
Dec. 31, 1996 from $441.4 million at year end 1995. The composition of
borrowings shifted more toward short-term borrowing balances. Short-term
borrowings increased $191.5 million during the year to total $366.9 million,
while long-term borrowings declined $71.7 million to total $194.4 million.
Short-term borrowings mainly consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank ("FHLB") and borrowings under agreements to repurchase securities sold. At
Dec. 31, 1996, the weighted average cost of borrowings was 6.22%, compared to
6.55% at year end 1995. A slight decline in rates paid on short-term borrowings
and a heavier reliance on the lower-rate short-term borrowings largely produced
the decline in the weighted average rate. See Cash Flow Activity, Results of
Operations - Years Ended Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995 and Note O - Borrowings for
further details.
Stockholders' equity increased $3.9 million to $388.1 million, or $17.04
per share, at Dec. 31, 1996 from $384.2 million, or $16.39 per share, at the
previous year end. Net income for 1996 of $26.3 million, together with $7.3
million of capital supplied by the exercise of employee stock options and a
$3.2 million increase in the unrealized gain on AFS investment securities,
contributed to the increase in stockholders' equity. However, the purchase of
1.3 million shares of Company stock at a cost of $24.9 million and dividends to
shareholders of $8.0 million partly offset these increases.
Except for certain interest rate exchange agreements used in connection
with interest rate risk management activities, the Company does not use
derivatives in its operations. The notional amount (off-balance sheet) of
interest rate exchange agreements at Dec. 31, 1996 was $93.6 million, compared
to $122.5 million at Dec. 31, 1995. During the year, amortization of $21.5
million of notional amounts and the maturity of $7.5 million of interest rate
exchange agreements produced the decline. No new interest rate exchange
agreements were entered into during 1996. See Note T - Financial Instruments
With Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk for further details.
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This
Statement sets accounting and reporting standards for the sale, securitization,
and servicing of receivables and other financial assets and the extinguishment
of liabilities. The Company expects to adopt this Statement during 1997.
However, implementation of some of the provisions of this Statement have been
delayed by the FASB, and the Company expects to adopt the remaining provisions
of this Statement during 1998 as required by SFAS No. 127, Deferral of the
Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125, issued in
December of 1996. Although the Statement is very expansive in its scope,
Management does not expect the Statement to affect operations in a material
way.

CAPITAL: The Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") sets regulatory capital
requirements for federally insured institutions such as the Bank that include
minimum ratios of core and tangible capital to adjusted assets and total
regulatory capital to risk-adjusted capital. At Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank's
tangible and core capital ratio of 8.80% and risk-based capital of 17.27%
exceeded the required capital levels by wide margins. Under separate prompt
corrective action regulations, the OTS can enforce certain restrictions on
savings institutions classified as undercapitalized. The regulations require
the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of total and Tier I capital to
risk-weighted assets, and Tier I capital to average assets. At Dec. 31, 1996,
the Bank's ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 17.27%, Tier I
capital to risk-weighted assets of 16.02%, and Tier I capital to regulatory
assets of 8.80% allowed the Bank to be considered "well capitalized" under the
OTS's prompt corrective action regulations. See Note Q - Stockholders' Equity
for further details and a reconciliation of the Company's stockholders' equity
to the regulatory capital of the Bank.
In an attempt to address the interest rate risk inherent in the balance
sheets of insured institutions, the OTS proposed a regulation that adds an
interest rate risk component to the risk-based capital requirement for excess
interest rate risk. Under this proposed regulation, an institution is
considered to have excess interest rate risk if, based upon a 200 basis point
change in market interest rates, the market value of an institution's capital
changes by more than 2%. If a change greater than 2% occurs, one-half of the
percent change in the market value of capital in excess of 2% is added to the
institution's risk-based capital requirement. The regulation has not yet been
implemented by the OTS. If the regulation had been implemented, at Dec. 31,
1996, the Bank would have "excess interest rate risk" for risk-based capital
purposes, which would have increased the risk-based capital requirement by
$12.1 million. At year end 1996, the Bank had $219.7 million of excess
risk-based capital available to meet the higher capital requirement.
The OTS has issued notice of a proposed regulation that would require all
but the most highly rated savings institutions to maintain a ratio of core
capital to total assets of between 4% and 5% to conform to the prompt
corrective action requirement and allow the Bank to be deemed at least
"adequately capitalized." Even at a 4% core capital ratio requirement as of
Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank would have excess core capital of $207.0 million. The
Bank presently intends to maintain a ratio of core capital to total assets of
at least 7%.
OTS regulations concerning risk-based capital take into account
concentration of credit risk, risk from non-traditional activities, and actual
performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily mortgages. These rules
allow the regulators to impose, on a case by case basis, an additional capital
requirement above the current requirements where an institution has significant
concentration of credit risk or risks from non-traditional activities.
The OTS may establish capital requirements higher than the generally
applicable minimum for a particular savings institution if the OTS determines
the institution's capital was or may become inadequate in view of its
particular circumstances. Individual minimum capital requirements may be
appropriate where the savings institution is receiving special supervisory
attention, has a high degree of exposure to interest rate risk, or poses other
safety or soundness concerns. The Bank has no such requirements.
Regulatory rules currently impose limitations on all capital distributions
by savings institutions, including dividends, stock repurchase and cash-out
mergers. Under the current rule, institutions are grouped into three
classifications depending upon their level of regulatory capital both before
and after giving effect to a proposed capital distribution. The OTS has
proposed conforming the three classifications to the five capital
classifications set forth under its prompt corrective action regulations. As
proposed, a savings institution that is a subsidiary of a holding company (such
as the Bank) could make a capital distribution following notice to the OTS if,
after the capital distribution, the institution would remain at least
"adequately capitalized" under the prompt corrective action regulations. In
making the proposal, the OTS stated that it intends to use net income to date
during the calendar year plus 50% of surplus capital above the adequately
capitalized level as the general rule of thumb for determining the permissible
amount of a capital distribution, although such limitation will not be
prescribed by regulation. In previous quarters, the Bank had paid dividends of
50% of its net income to the Company; however, beginning with earnings for the
fourth quarter of 1996, the Bank intends to pay dividends equal to 100% of its
net income.
See Note Q - Stockholders' Equity for further discussion of regulatory
capital requirements.

REFINANCING OF MATURING LOANS, LOANS TO FACILITATE THE SALE OF REO, AND LOANS
TO REACQUIRE LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE. PRIOR TO 1994, ORIGINATIONS WERE
PRIMARILY TO FACILITATE THE SALE OF REO OR REACQUIRE LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE.
CASH FLOW ACTIVITY
SOURCES OF FUNDS: During 1996, the Company's major sources of funds included
$812.4 million of mortgage loan and MBS repayments, $448.5 million from the
issuance of CDs, a $119.7 million net increase in borrowings, and $53.3 million
of maturities on marketable-debt securities.
Loan and MBS repayments increased $216.4 million to $812.4 million during
1996 compared to $596.0 million during 1995. Declining market interest rates
during 1995 caused repayments to increase steadily throughout 1995 and into the
first half of 1996. Rising long-term interest rates during 1996 caused
repayment activity to slow, and total repayment levels have been declining
since the second quarter of 1996. Management believes that repayments on 1-4
family loans and MBS will remain stable, but could increase if interest rates
were to decline. See Credit Risk Management for a discussion of repayments on
the Bank's nationwide multifamily loan portfolio.
The issuance of CDs provided $448.5 million of new funds during 1996,
compared to $322.4 million during 1995. Management continues to emphasize the
sale of short-term CD products as a source of funds. CD promotions, such as the
11-month CD, were successful in attracting new deposits and maintaining the
deposit balances of other maturing CD products featured in previous periods.
The Bank expects to continue to offer these short-term CDs to provide
liquidity. CD promotions and higher CD balances may continue to cause an
increase in the weighted average cost of deposits and exert pressure on the
interest rate spread.
During 1996, borrowings were used to fund part of the growth in
interest-earning assets, as borrowing balances increased by $119.7 million.
Management expects to continue to rely on borrowings during 1997 to fund
further asset expansion. In contrast to 1996, the Company used excess liquidity
in 1995 to reduce borrowings by $51.0 million. See Results of Operations -
Comparison of Years Ended Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995 for further details and Note O
- - - Borrowings for detail of the Company's borrowing facilities as of Dec. 31,
1996.
During 1996, $53.3 million of additional liquidity was provided by the
maturity of AFS marketable-debt securities, compared to $8.0 million during the
previous year. In addition, the Bank sold $27.5 million of AFS MBS and $10.0
million of AFS marketable-debt securities. In comparison, during 1995, the Bank
only sold $56.9 million of AFS MBS.
USES OF FUNDS: During 1996, the Company used $1.1 billion of funds to purchase
and originate loans, $348.0 million to repay maturing CDs, $51.1 million to
acquire MBS, and $24.9 million to repurchase Company common stock.
Loans purchased and originated for investment during 1996 increased to
$1.1 billion from $539.6 during 1995. The Bank purchased $618.7 million of 1-4
family whole loans and increased loan origination volumes as part of
24 St. Paul Bancorp, Inc.

Management's strategy to increase earning asset levels. Management expects to
continue to increase interest-earning asset levels during 1997 and anticipates
the purchase of $400 million or more of 1-4 family adjustable rate whole loans,
subject to availability and market conditions.(1) Besides planned loan
purchases, loan origination targets for 1997 have increased, including goals of
1-4 family loans of $285 million, Midwest multifamily loans of $100 million,
and home equity, line of credit, and other consumer loans of $130 million.
Payments for maturing CDs in 1995 totaled $348.0 million, up slightly from
$328.3 million during 1995. The Bank's emphasis on the sale of short-term CD
products has increased the amount of CDs maturing and total CD balances. At the
same time, the Bank has been successful in retaining a large portion of these
maturing balances.
In addition to whole loan acquisitions, the Bank purchased $51.1 million
of MBS during 1996. In comparison, the Bank purchased $84.0 million of MBS
during the previous year.
The Company used $24.9 million to repurchase 1.3 million of its
outstanding shares under stock repurchase programs during 1996. During 1995,
the Company used $4.3 million to repurchase nearly 296,000 shares. See Holding
Company Liquidity following for further details.
HOLDING COMPANY LIQUIDITY: At Dec. 31, 1996, St. Paul Bancorp had $17.8
million of cash and cash equivalents and $198,000 of marketable-debt
securities. The marketable-debt securities are used to collateralize borrowings
of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). During 1995, the Company
obtained a $20.0 million revolving unsecured line of credit from another
financial institution, under which no funds were borrowed as of Dec. 31, 1996.
During 1996, St. Paul Bancorp's sources of liquidity included $14.0
million of dividends from the Bank, $7.3 million provided by the exercise of
employee stock options, and $1.7 million of dividends from the Company's other
subsidiaries. Uses of liquidity during 1996 included the purchase of $24.9
million of Company stock (reported as a reduction to stockholders' equity),
$8.0 million of dividends paid to shareholders, $5.3 million of additional
advances to SPFD, and $2.8 million of interest payments on subordinated debt.
See Note W - Parent Company-Only Financial Information for further details.
During December 1996, the Company announced a five-for-four stock split
distributed on Jan. 14, 1997 to stockholders of record on Dec. 31, 1996. In
addition, the Company announced its intentions to raise the quarterly dividend
paid to shareholders by 25% by maintaining the quarterly dividend rate of 12
cents per share after the five-for-four stock split. In January 1997, the
Company also announced the extension for another six months of the 1.125
million share repurchase program (or approximately 5% of its outstanding common
stock) announced during the third quarter of 1996. At Dec. 31, 1996, the
Company had repurchased 112,500 shares of stock under this program at a
weighted average price of $22.09. Under all stock repurchase programs, the
Company has purchased 2,819,215 shares of its common stock at a weighted
average cost of $16.89. These stock repurchase programs are intended to
increase return on equity and earnings per share.
Dividend payments from the Bank to the holding company are regulated by
the OTS. Management plans to pay dividends to the holding company from the Bank
equal to 100% of the Bank's net income during 1997. See Note Q - Stockholders'
Equity for further details.
In February 1997, the Company issued $100 million of senior notes, at a
price of 99.538%, which mature on Feb. 15, 2004. The notes are unsecured and
pay interest at a rate of 7.125%. The Company will use a portion of the
proceeds to redeem the 8.25% Subordinated Notes due in 2000, which have an
outstanding principal amount of $34.5 million. The remainder of the proceeds
will be used for general corporate purposes.
REGULATORY LIQUIDITY: Savings institutions are required to maintain average
daily balances of liquid assets equal to a specified percentage of the
institution's average net withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings.
Liquid assets include cash, certain time deposits, federal funds sold, and
certain securities. This liquidity requirement may be changed from time to time
by the Director of the OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to 10%,
depending upon economic conditions and the deposit flows of savings
institutions. During 1996, the Bank held average regulatory liquidity of $240.9
million, with liquidity balances that ranged between $182.5 million and $290.8
million. At Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank's regulatory liquidity of 6.1%, or $220.1
million, exceeded the current 5% regulatory liquidity requirement by $39.9
million. See Note O - Borrowings for a description of the Bank's available
borrowing facilities.
(1) THE BANK HAS COMMITTED TO THE ACQUISITION OF APPROXIMATELY $230 MILLION OF
ADJUSTABLE RATE 1-4 FAMILY WHOLE LOANS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DEC. 31, 1996 AND 1995
GENERAL: Net income during 1996 totaled $26.3 million, or $1.10 per primary
share. Operating results include a $21.0 million third quarter pre-tax charge
for the SAIF recapitalization. Without the SAIF recapitalization, 1996 net
income would have been $40.2 million, or 10% higher than the $36.4 million of
net income recorded during 1995. Earnings per share (excluding the SAIF charge)
would have increased 13% from $1.49 during 1995 to $1.69 during 1996. The
earnings per share comparison rose faster than the net income comparison
because 1.6 million shares of Company common stock were repurchased during 1995
and 1996. The higher level of net income resulted from an $8.1 million increase
in net interest income, a $2.0 million increase in other income, and a lower
effective income tax rate. These increases in income were partly offset by a
$6.7 million increase in general and administrative ("G&A") expenses (without
the SAIF charge).
NET INTEREST INCOME: Net interest income totaled $124.7 million during 1996,
up 7.0% or $8.1 million over 1995. Management's focus on increasing
interest-earning asset levels caused both the $17.5 million increase in
interest income and the $9.4 million rise in interest expense. The net interest
margin ("NIM") rose 6 basis points from 3.01% during 1995 to 3.07% during 1996.
The NIM benefited from the investment in loans receivable balances, funded
largely with the repayments of lower interest earning MBS balances and higher
deposit and borrowing balances. Higher effective yields on loans and MBS also
contributed to the increase. However, rising deposit costs put downward
pressure on the NIM. See Cash Flow Activity for a discussion of changes in
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest income from loans receivable increased $28.0 million or 14%
during 1996. Most of the increase was produced by a $351.6 million increase in
average loan balances, which totaled $2.99 billion during 1996 compared to
$2.63 billion during 1995. The increase was produced by the loan purchases and
originations, partly offset by principal repayments. The effective yield on
loans receivable also increased slightly to 7.69% during 1996 from 7.66% during
1995. Upward repricing in the adjustable rate portfolio and
1996 Annual Report/10-K 27
<PAGE> 11
higher amortization of deferred fees contributed to the increase.
However, the repayment of higher rate loans and the addition of loans during
1996 with a weighted average yield less than the portfolio average partly offset
these increases.
Interest income from MBS declined $10.6 million during 1996, largely due
to a $177.2 million decline in average balances. Principal repayments during
the year produced the decline in average balances, as Management focused most
of its attention on purchasing loans and used MBS repayments to provide
liquidity.(2) The effective yield on MBS rose 6 basis points to 6.33% during
1996 from 6.27% during 1995. Upward repricing in the adjustable rate portfolio
mainly produced the higher effective yield.
The increase in interest expense in 1996 was produced by higher average
deposit and borrowing balances and an increase in the effective cost of
deposits. Average deposit balances rose by $94.0 million to $3.28 billion
during 1996. Most of the increase in average balances occurred in CD products,
which grew by $118.8 million during the year. The higher CD balances were
partly offset by lower savings account balances. The increase in the relative
size of CD balances as compared to total deposit balances also contributed to
the 9 basis point increase in the effective cost of deposits. The effective
cost rose to 4.26% during 1996 compared to 4.17% during 1995. Management
expects to continue to feature CD products to provide additional liquidity,
which may continue to put pressure on the NIM and interest rate spread. While
deposit rates are expected to increase, the Company's weighted average cost of
deposits is still below that of many of its competitors, according to certain
industry surveys.
The use of borrowings to help fund asset expansion during 1996 produced
the higher borrowing expense during the year. Average balances rose $67.9
million to $504.5 million during 1996 from $436.6 million during 1995.
Offsetting this increase in expense was a 37 basis point decline in the
effective cost of borrowings. Most of the decline in the effective cost was
produced by lower rates on short-term borrowing balances during the year and
the heavier use of the lower-costing short-term borrowing balances. Management
expects to continue to use borrowings to fund asset growth during 1997, which
may continue to result in an increase in borrowing expense.
The Bank's ability to sustain current net interest income levels during
future periods is largely dependent on maintaining the interest rate spread,
which is the difference between weighted average rates on interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread was 2.78% at
Dec. 31, 1996, or 6 basis points higher than the interest rate spread of 2.72%
at Dec. 31, 1995. Many of the same factors that impacted the NIM also impacted
the Bank's interest rate spread. An increase in period-end MBS and loan
balances, funded with lower-costing investment balances, and an increase in
deposit and borrowing balances combined to produce the increase in the interest
rate spread. The benefit to the spread produced by a lower period-end weighted
average borrowing rate was mostly offset by a higher weighted average deposit
rate and a 3 basis point decline in the weighted average loan rate. See Cash
Flow Activity for a discussion of changes in interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.
External forces, such as the performance of the economy, actions of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and market interest rates,
can significantly influence the size of the interest rate spread and are beyond
the control of Management. In response to these forces, Management evaluates
market conditions and deploys strategies that it believes will produce a
sustainable and profitable interest rate spread. See Interest Rate Risk for
further discussion.
Management also believes that several product-related factors will
continue to impact the interest rate spread. First, the Bank has $973.8 million
of "adjustable" rate loans and MBS that have initial fixed interest rate
periods ranging from three to five years. At Dec. 31, 1996, only $28.4 million
of these loans and MBS were scheduled to reprice during the ensuing twelve
months. If interest rates remain at current levels at the time of repricing,
the Bank may experience an increase in the yields, but could also experience
higher prepayments.
Second, approximately $405.7 million of adjustable rate 1-4 family and
multifamily loans are at their interest rate floors. These loans will not
reprice until their fully indexed interest rate exceeds the floor rate.(3)
Third, $1.1 billion of the Company's assets are tied to movements that lag
behind the movements in market interest rates. In general, this condition
benefits the Bank's asset yields as market rates decrease, but constrains
repricing as interest rates increase.
Lastly, nearly all adjustable rate loans and MBS contain periodic and
lifetime interest rate caps that limit the amount of upward repricing on loans
and MBS.(4) Most of the annual interest caps in the Bank's loan and MBS
portfolio are 2%.
On the liability side, the Company has $493.8 million of borrowings that
are scheduled to reprice during the next six months and a CD portfolio of $2.0
billion that has a weighted average remaining maturity of 12 months. The
Company also has $1.3 billion of deposits in checking, savings, and money
market accounts that are expected to help mitigate the effect of a rapid change
in interest rates. See Interest Rate Sensitivity GAP Analysis following for
further details.
(2) WHILE AVERAGE BALANCES DECLINED, PERIOD-END MBS BALANCES ROSE BY $187.6
MILLION DUE TO THE SECURITIZATION OF $381 MILLION OF LOANS TO MBS. BECAUSE THIS
TRANSACTION OCCURRED IN DECEMBER, AVERAGE BALANCES FOR BOTH MBS AND LOANS WERE
NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED. SEE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION FOR FURTHER
DETAILS.
(3) AT DEC. 31, 1996, THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE FULLY INDEXED RATE ON THESE
LOANS WAS 7.17% AND THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE FLOOR WAS 8.04%. THESE INTEREST RATE
FLOORS BENEFITED NET INCOME BY $3.2 MILLION AND THE NIM AND INTEREST RATE
SPREAD DURING 1996 BY 8 BASIS POINTS. IN COMPARISON, AT DEC. 31, 1995, THE BANK
HAD $531.0 MILLION OF LOANS AT THEIR FLOORS, WHICH BENEFITED INTEREST INCOME BY
$4.5 MILLION AND THE NIM AND INTEREST RATE SPREAD BY 12 BASIS POINTS.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES: The provision for loan losses of $1.8 million
recorded during 1996 was $150,000 less than the provision during 1995. The
reduction in the provision for loan losses reflects lower classified assets,
the continued low level of nonperforming assets, and a reduction in the
outstanding loan balances of the Bank's nationwide multifamily lending program.
See Credit Risk Management and Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies for further discussion.
OTHER INCOME: Other income rose 5.9% to $35.7 million during 1996 compared to
$33.7 million during the previous year. Most of the increase in other income
was produced by higher revenues from discount brokerage operations, higher
other fee income, primarily due to increased revenues from ATM operations, and
an increase in the gain on loan sales. Higher demand for the products offered
by the Bank's discount brokerage operations resulted in a 28% increase in
transaction volumes and higher revenues. The growth in ATM fee income was
mainly due to the expansion of the ATM network, including the addition of the
260 White Hen ATMs during the second quarter of 1996.
During 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights. In accordance with this Statement, the Bank capitalized
$392,000 of originated mortgage servicing rights that, under prior accounting
rules, would have reduced the gain on loan sales. Under SFAS No. 122, future
loan servicing income for new sales will be reduced because under prior
accounting practice, normal servicing fee income was recognized as it was
collected. However, the loan servicing portfolio, arising out of loans sold
prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 122, will continue to follow prior accounting
practice.
These increases in other income were partly offset by lower demand for
products offered by the Company's annuity and insurance operations, lower sales
volumes at the Company's real estate development operations, and lower loan
servicing fees associated with a decline in the average loan servicing
portfolio. Revenues from the Company's annuity subsidiary are affected by
interest rates. The sale of annuities can also be impacted by the sale of other
Bank products, such as CDs and discount brokerage services.
Revenues from the Company's real estate development subsidiary, SPFD, can
vary from year to year due to changes in demand for residential real estate,
the general interest rate environment, and other economic trends. In addition,
the availability of quality financing investment opportunities, the amount of
land in inventory and the ability to acquire new development projects may cause
revenue volatility in future years. During 1997, SPFD discontinued its home
building operations and will be reducing staff levels and consolidating its
operating facilities to reduce overhead expenses.
Similar to 1996, Management expects growth in other income during 1997 to
come from ATM operations and greater contributions from the Company's
subsidiaries. ATM transaction volumes in 1997 will benefit from having the
White Hen ATMs in place for the entire year. In addition, in January 1997, the
Bank began to charge an access fee to non-St. Paul customers who use the Bank's
ATM network. While the implementation of access fees may increase ATM revenues,
the increased cost to the ATM users may affect future transaction volumes. ATM
transaction volumes may also be affected by the loss of up to 70 ATMs located
in a grocery store chain in the Chicagoland area over the next few years
(beginning in the second quarter of 1997), as the grocery store chain intends
to install in-store branch offices of another financial institution. The Bank
continues to seek other partners in ATM ventures, such as supermarket and
convenience store chains, for further expansion of its ATM network.
During 1997, Management will also concentrate on increasing the
penetration of brokerage and annuity products among Bank customers. Because
fewer than 10% of the Bank's customers currently have an account with the
Company's brokerage or annuity operations, Management plans to increase selling
efforts during 1997. The Bank will offer a broader array of products and
services, such as financial planning services through the Bank's discount
brokerage subsidiary, in order to appeal to more customers.
G&A EXPENSE: G&A expenses totaled $117.8 million during 1996, including the
$21.0 million SAIF charge. Without the SAIF charge, G&A expenses would have
been $96.8 million, $6.7 million or 7.4% higher than the $90.2 million of
expense recorded during the previous year. Higher salaries and benefits of $3.9
million, occupancy and office expense of $2.7 million, and advertising costs of
$998,000 generated most of the increase in G&A expense.
The rise in compensation and employee benefits was associated with annual
merit raises, higher payroll taxes, an increase in pension expense associated
with a decrease in the interest rates used to measure the Bank's pension cost,
and higher medical costs. Higher occupancy and office expense was largely due
to the creation of the Tele-Banking Center during the fourth quarter of 1995
and additional capital investments, such as the expansion of the ATM network
and a digital telephone system. Additional marketing promotions, mainly for the
Bank's speciality sports checking account programs and the introduction of the
White Hen ATMs, produced the increase in advertising expenditures.
(4) AT DEC. 31, 1996, INTEREST RATE CAPS ON $39.5 MILLION OF ORIGINATED LOANS
HAVE KEPT THE ADJUSTABLE RATE ON THESE LOANS BELOW THEIR FULLY INDEXED RATE.
HAD THESE LOANS BEEN ALLOWED TO ADJUST TO THEIR FULLY INDEXED RATE, THE
INTEREST RATE SPREAD WOULD HAVE BEEN 1 BASIS POINT HIGHER. IN COMPARISON, AT
DEC. 31, 1995, THE BANK HAD $280.7 MILLION OF LOANS BELOW THEIR FULLY INDEXED
RATE, WHICH CAUSED THE INTEREST RATE SPREAD TO BE 15 BASIS POINTS LOWER THAN IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN OTHERWISE. AT DEC. 31, 1996 AND 1995, THE BANK'S MBS PORTFOLIO
WAS NOT ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY ANY OF THE CONTRACTUAL PERIODIC OR LIFETIME CAPS.
1996 Annual Report/10-K 29
<PAGE> 13
During 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.
This Statement requires impairment of losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations under two conditions: when indicators of impairment
are present, and when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by
those assets are less than the asset's carrying amount. This Statement also
addresses the accounting for the expected disposal of long-lived assets. The
adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material effect on the statement of
operations or financial condition.
During 1996, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement requires that compensation expense be
recorded for stock-based compensation awards, such as stock options, as the
fair value of the award at the date of grant. However, the Statement also
permits an employer to continue to account for stock-based compensation using
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees, but requires the pro forma disclosures of the results of
operations as if the fair value method were used. Under APB No. 25, the Company
records no compensation expense for stock option awards because the exercise
price of the award equals the fair market value of the underlying stock at the
date of grant. Because the Company continues using APB No. 25 for accounting
for stock-based compensation and has provided the pro forma disclosures,
adoption of this Statement had no impact on the results of operation. See Note
A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note R - Stock Option Plans
for further details.
Despite the increase in G&A expenses during the year, Management remains
committed to ongoing expense control. Management will continue to review
back-office operations in order to improve work flows, communication,
coordination and service and look at additional computerization to improve
efficiency and control expense. G&A expense during 1997 should also benefit
from the lower SAIF insurance premium assessment, which is expected to reduce
insurance costs by $5.5 million annually based upon current deposit levels.
Even with these measures, 1997 G&A levels are expected to exceed 1996
levels (excluding the impact of the SAIF recapitalization) due to anticipated
additions to the branch network, expansion of the ATM network, an increase in
planned advertising and promotions, more services and products offered to
customers, systems projects, higher compensation for retail personnel, and
general inflation. Management expects to increase the branch network during
1997. While the number and location of the new branches is still under
consideration, Management will be experimenting with a new prototype branch,
such as an office in a storefront or neighborhood shopping center, which will
have similar capital investment requirements as the Bank's current in-store
branches. The initial investment capital for in-store branches is significantly
less than the initial capital investment for a free-standing branch. The Bank
anticipates funding the branch expansion with existing liquidity.
Management expects increased G&A expenditures in 1997 and 1998 related to
system projects designed to upgrade the Bank's information systems to process
transactions in the next century. The Bank has assembled a task force charged
with addressing the "Year 2000" compliance issues and is coordinating its
efforts with outside consultants. The Bank plans to accomplish critical
development work by December 1998 with final testing to occur during 1999.
Management believes that the cost of this effort could be substantial but has
not finalized an estimate of the full cost. The Bank intends to fund this cost
from operations and excess liquidity.
OPERATIONS OF FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE: The Bank generated a net loss from its
foreclosed real estate operation of $1.2 million during 1996, or $56,000 more
than during 1995. A higher provision for losses on real estate owned ("REO"),
partly offset by a decline in the cost to operate the foreclosed assets,
produced the slight increase in the net loss. See Credit Risk Management and
Note I - Foreclosed Real Estate for further discussion of REO.
INCOME TAXES: The provision for income taxes was $13.4 million during 1996
compared to $20.7 million during 1995. A lower level of pre-tax income
(including the effect of the SAIF charge) primarily produced the decline in
expense. In addition, the adoption of certain tax planning strategies during
1996 allowed the company to achieve a lower effective income tax rate. The
effective income tax rate was 33.8% during 1996 compared to 36.3% during the
previous year. See Note P - Income Taxes for a reconciliation of income tax
expense at the federal statutory rate to the Company's effective tax rate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --
COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DEC. 31, 1995 AND 1994
GENERAL: Net income during 1995 totaled $36.4 million, or $1.49 per share,
compared to $34.5 million, or $1.36 per share, during 1994.(5) The higher level
of income in 1995 compared to 1994 was associated with a $4.0 million increase
in other income, a $3.3 million reduction in the provision for loan losses, and
a $986,000 decrease in the net loss from foreclosed real estate operations.
Partly offsetting these increases in income were a $3.0 million increase in G&A
expenses and a $1.6 million reduction in net interest income. The provision for
income taxes also increased $1.7 million, largely due to the higher level of
pre-tax income and an increase in the effective income tax rate during 1995.
NET INTEREST INCOME: Net interest income totaled $116.6 million during 1995,
$1.6 million lower than 1994. The net interest margin ("NIM") for 1995 was
3.01%, 14 basis points lower than the 1994 NIM of 3.15%. During 1994, the
Company leveraged the balance sheet in an effort to increase interest-earning
assets and enhance net interest income during a period in which the interest
rate spread was compressing. In contrast, during the declining interest rate
environment of 1995, the Company looked for ways to stabilize the interest rate
spread and improve asset yields. Much of the decline in the NIM was produced by
rising deposit costs, as the Bank continued to offer higher rates on new CDs to
maintain deposit balances. Favorable repricing in the MBS and loan portfolios,
as much of the portfolio lagged behind the increase in interest rates during
1994, partly offset this decline.
The interest rate spread was 2.72% at Dec. 31, 1995, or 4 basis points
lower than the interest rate spread of 2.76% at Dec. 31, 1994. A significant
increase in the weighted average cost of deposits from year end 1994, due to
higher offering rates on new CD products, put pressure on the interest rate
spread. However, favorable repricing in the MBS and adjustable rate loan
portfolios over the course of the year partly offset this contraction in the
spread. In addition, the reinvestment of loan and MBS repayments back into the
loan portfolio and a reduction in borrowings, the highest-cost interest-bearing
liability, also partially mitigated the effect of higher deposit costs.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES: The provision for loan losses recorded during 1995
was $1.9 million, or 63% lower than the provision recorded during 1994. The
reduction in the provision for loan losses reflects lower classified assets,
the low level of nonperforming assets, and the continued reduction in the
outstanding loan balances of the Bank's nationwide multifamily lending program.
See Credit Risk Management and Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies for further discussion.
OTHER INCOME: Other income increased $4.0 million or 13.3% during 1995 to
$33.7 million, compared to $29.8 million during 1994. Most of the increase in
other income was associated with higher checking and ATM fees, which increased
$4.3 million during the year. Growth in the number of checking accounts,
introduction of new fees and general increases in existing fees generated the
increase. This increase was partially offset by a decline in revenues generated
by the Company's subsidiaries, and included a $548,000 decrease in discount
brokerage revenues and $343,000 less in income from real estate development
operations. Lower customer demand and resulting transaction volumes produced
the decline in discount brokerage revenues in 1995 compared to 1994. The
decline in income from real estate operations was largely associated with lower
margins realized on sales.
G&A EXPENSE: G&A expense increased $3.0 million or 3.4% to total $90.2 million
during 1995, compared to $87.2 million during 1994. The increase was largely
associated with a $2.4 million increase in occupancy, equipment, and other
office expense, and an additional $1.8 million in compensation and benefits.
Higher G&A costs were associated with the addition of two branches during
mid-1994, expansion of the ATM network, and annual merit increases. These
increases were partly offset by a $993,000 decline in advertising costs caused
by a reduction in planned advertising expenditures.
OPERATIONS OF FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE: The Bank incurred a net loss from its
foreclosed real estate operation of $1.2 million during 1995, compared to a
$2.1 million loss during 1994. A decrease in the provision for losses on REO
produced the reduction in the net loss. Fewer REO properties managed during
1995 as compared to 1994 caused the decline. See Credit Risk Management and
Note I - Foreclosed Real Estate for further discussion of REO.
INCOME TAXES: Income taxes during 1995 totaled $20.7 million or 36.3% of
pre-tax income, compared to $19.0 million or 35.5% of pre-tax income during
1994. A $3.6 million increase in pre-tax income and higher effective federal
and state income tax rates produced the higher level of income tax expense
during 1995. See Note P - Income Taxes for a reconciliation of income tax
expense at the federal statutory rate to the Company's effective tax rate.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
At Dec. 31, 1996, the loans receivable portfolio was primarily comprised of
residential mortgages, secured by both single family and multifamily dwellings.
To a much lesser extent, the loan portfolio also includes commercial real
estate loans, land loans and consumer loans. See Loan Portfolio table for
further detail.
Nonperforming loans declined to $9.5 million at Dec. 31, 1996 from $17.8
million at Dec. 31, 1995, the lowest level at a year end in the past ten
years.(6) A decline in multifamily and commercial nonperforming loans generated
the overall decline. See Nonperforming Loans following for further details and
Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a description of the
Company's policy for placing loans on nonaccrual. Delinquent real estate loans
accounted for on an accrual basis (i.e., still considered performing loans)
increased slightly to $65.9 million at year end 1996, compared to $63.4 million
at year end 1995.(7) See Delinquent Loans Accounted for on an Accrual Basis
table for further detail. The net investment in impaired loans, as defined by
SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, increased
during 1996 to total $56.2 million or 1.29% of total assets at Dec. 31, 1996
compared to $32.1 million or 0.78% of total assets at Dec. 31, 1995.(8) The
increase in impaired loans was largely due to the pending maturity of a
significant portion of the Company's nationwide multifamily loan portfolio.
Management expects the level of impaired loans to be reduced substantially
during 1997. See Note E - Loans Receivable for impaired loans detail.
Net loan charge-offs during 1996 were $4.4 million, compared to $5.5
million of net loan charge-offs during 1995 and $9.5 million during 1994. Of
the $4.4 million of net charge-offs in 1996, $545,000 represented specific
reserves established prior to 1996, while the remainder resulted from further
deterioration in value necessitating loss categorization and was charged-off
during the year. The decline in charge-offs reflects a reduction in the number
of distressed assets and the amount of losses in these assets. Most of the net
loan charge-offs during 1996 were associated with the nationwide multifamily
loan portfolio. Net charge-offs to average loans receivable continued to
decline and were 0.15% during 1996, compared to 0.21% during 1995 and 0.39%
during 1994. See Accumulated Provision for Losses Activity table for further
detail.
In recent years, multifamily or commercial real estate loans originated by
the Company have been secured by collateral located in the Midwest. Prior to
1991, the Bank originated multifamily and commercial real estate loans on a
nationwide basis, which Management refers to as nationwide loans. In connection
with its nationwide portfolio management activities, the Bank refinances
maturing loans that meet underwriting standards, makes loans to facilitate the
sale of REO and repurchases distressed loans that have been sold with recourse.
During 1996, the Bank refinanced $184.9 million of maturing loans, provided
$23.4 million of loans to facilitate the sale of multifamily and commercial
foreclosed assets, and repurchased $5.4 million of loans under recourse
provisions.
Before the end of 1999, approximately 45% of the Bank's multifamily and
commercial real estate loan portfolio is scheduled to mature. The Bank intends
to refinance a large portion of these loans, and Management is actively working
with borrowers whose loans are scheduled to mature in 1997 to refinance certain
loans and obtain payoff of lower quality loans. Management was very satisfied
with its ability to execute this strategy effectively in 1996, and is currently
developing strategies for 1998 maturities.
In addition to its program to refinance existing nationwide multifamily
loans, the Bank's Board of Directors has provided for a limited expansion of
nationwide lending. Under this program, the Bank has been authorized to
originate new multifamily loans in strong markets where the Bank already has a
multifamily servicing portfolio or to borrowers with whom it has a
long-standing relationship. Originations under this program are not expected to
exceed $100 million during 1997, and will help offset the repayment of maturing
nationwide multifamily loans.
The level of nationwide loans in the Bank's loan portfolio continues to
decrease, shrinking by $56.5 million during 1996. Furthermore, nationwide loans
secured by real estate located in California decreased by $24.9 million during
1996, and nationwide loans sold with recourse also decreased by $24.3 million
during 1996. The largest geographic concentrations of collateral supporting
multifamily real estate loans, including loans originated under the Bank's
Midwest multifamily lending program, were in California (49.8%), Illinois
(16.7%), and Washington State (10.1%). See Note V - Concentration of Credit
Risk and Note T - Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk for
further details.

During 1996, the Bank was able to retain over 76% of those loans scheduled
to mature during the year. Of the remaining loans, 16% were paid off and 8%
were liquidated out of foreclosed real estate. For loans of lesser quality that
are scheduled to mature within the next few years, Management will demand
repayment or, in some cases, negotiate pay downs and other concessions from the
borrowers with the intent of improving the credit quality of the loans if the
consequences of foreclosure would be less desirable. Depending on the
strategies employed, the amount of the Bank's charge-offs, REO, impaired loans,
and nonperforming assets could be affected.
Management believes that based on current economic conditions, loan loss
reserves of the Bank are adequate to absorb the inherent losses in the
portfolio as it relates to current plans to refinance or liquidate the
nationwide multifamily real estate portfolio as it matures.
Management continues to monitor events in the submarkets in which the Bank
has substantial loan concentrations, particularly California. While some
softness persists in certain areas, Management is not aware of any changes in
those economies that would have a significant adverse effect on the Bank's loan
portfolio. Although the ratio of net charge-offs on loans secured by
multifamily and commercial loans located in California increased slightly
during 1996 compared to 1995, it was still substantially lower than prior
years. The Bank's continued research and analysis, along with the Bank's
portfolio trends, indicate the emergence of an overall improving California
economy. California contains many distinct real estate markets. Therefore, even
though the trends for the state overall appear favorable, particularly in
northern California, more localized problems can occur from time to time that
affect economies and can reduce specific real estate values.
These trends, combined with the reduction in classified assets,
nonperforming assets, and the outstanding nationwide multifamily lending
portfolio, have allowed the level of loss provisions determined by the Bank's
loan loss reserve methodology to be below net charge-offs, thereby reducing the
accumulated provision for loan losses to $36.0 million at Dec. 31, 1996 from
$38.6 million at Dec. 31, 1995. However, due to the above trends, charge-offs
may continue to be higher than loan loss provisions in future years. Management
expects to continue recognizing charge-offs in connection with the monitoring
of weak loans in the portfolio. See Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies for a discussion of the Bank's loan loss methodology.
During 1996, the Bank purchased $618.7 million of 1-4 family whole loans,
secured by real estate located nationally. Prior to purchasing these loan
portfolios, the Bank performed due diligence procedures. Because of that
process, Management believes that the portfolios acquired present no greater
risk than the Bank's own originated 1-4 family portfolio.
At Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank had no nonperforming Midwest multifamily loans.
In addition, at Dec. 31, 1996, only $46,000 of consumer and $340,000 of home
equity/line of credit loans were considered nonperforming. The Bank has
agreements to sell lower quality home equity loans to third parties rather than
retaining them for portfolio.
As of Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank's ratio of classified assets to tangible
capital and general valuation allowance was 34%, compared to the 42% ratio
reported at Dec. 31, 1995 and a targeted level of 37%. Classified assets
include REO and loans considered "substandard," "doubtful," or "loss" under
regulatory accounting purposes and the Bank's loan rating system.
FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE: Foreclosed real estate declined to $2.9 million at
Dec. 31, 1996 from $11.4 million at Dec. 31, 1995. During the year, $25.8
million of assets were added to foreclosed real estate, $32.5 million of assets
were sold, and $1.7 million were reduced through valuation allowances and
charge-offs.
At year end 1996, foreclosed real estate was comprised of $1.6 million of
1-4 family residences, primarily in the Chicago metropolitan area, and to a
lesser extent, California, and a $1.4 million commercial building located in
Illinois. See Note I - Foreclosed Real Estate and Results of Operations -
Comparison of Years Ended Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995 - Operations of Foreclosed
Real Estate for further detail. REO balances in the future also could be
affected by the strategy employed to deal with the multifamily and commercial
loans scheduled to mature within the next few years.
The accumulated provision for REO losses was $284,000 at Dec. 31, 1996
compared to $2.0 million at Dec. 31, 1995. Net charge-offs of $2.6 million,
partly offset by the provision of $868,000, produced the reduction in the
accumulated provision. Most of the charge-offs were associated with the sale of
an office building located in Illinois, which carried a $1.2 million specific
valuation allowance at Dec. 31, 1995, and a multifamily property located in
Washington during 1996.(9)
(9) THE BANK HAD PREVIOUSLY CARRIED THE MULTIFAMILY REO PROPERTY AT A VALUE
THAT WAS SUPPORTED BY A CURRENT APPRAISAL. THE BANK ENTERED INTO A SUBSEQUENT
SALES CONTRACT WITH A BUYER AT A LOWER VALUE, PRINCIPALLY DUE TO HIGH VACANCY
LEVELS. MANAGEMENT ELECTED TO ACCEPT THE LIQUIDATION VALUE RATHER THAN HOLDING
THIS ASSET IN AN EFFORT TO ACHIEVE STABILIZATION OF OCCUPANCY.

INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk represents a measure of the sensitivity of the Bank's
earnings and the impact on stockholders' equity due to changes in market
interest rates. Interest rate risk generally exists because the Bank chooses to
accept this risk in connection with its profit motives and business objectives.
Management captures and measures the Bank's exposure to interest rate risk
using complex financial models. The OTS also measures the Bank's interest rate
risk using its own sophisticated financial model to determine whether an
interest rate risk regulatory capital component is warranted. The results of
both these models are reported to the Bank's Board of Directors and reviewed to
determine that the risks assumed were in conformity with the Bank's policies
for interest rate risk. At the end of 1996, the Bank's exposure to interest
rate risk was more than it was at Dec. 31, 1995, and under the OTS's model, the
Bank's interest rate position would have required a regulatory capital
allocation of $12.1 million.(10) No similar capital requirement was warranted
at Dec. 31, 1995. See Regulatory Capital Requirements for further detail.
Traditionally, financial institutions have used "GAP" analysis as a
measure of their interest rate sensitivity. GAP is the ratio of interest-rate
sensitive assets to interest-rate sensitive liabilities over specified time
horizons, expressed as a percent of total assets. A positive GAP indicates that
cumulative interest-rate sensitive assets exceed cumulative interest-rate
sensitive liabilities at the dates indicated, and suggests that net interest
income would increase if market rates increased. The GAP also assumes that
volumes and spreads are constant. The historical trend of the GAP at one, three
and five years is presented below.(11)
<TABLE>

Five years...... 8.79 7.32 3.17 10.63 5.68
</TABLE>
Generally, the Bank's policy is to maintain a balanced GAP. Management
considers a range of plus or minus 15% to be a desirable one-year GAP position.
The Bank's one-year GAP decreased from a positive 5.38% at Dec. 31, 1995 to a
negative 1.62% at Dec. 31, 1996. The negative one-year GAP indicates that the
cumulative one-year interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the cumulative
one-year interest-rate sensitive assets, and reflects the Bank's increased use
of short-term borrowings and CDs to fund asset growth.
Although GAP analysis provides some narrow insights into the repricing of
the Bank's balance sheet, for various reasons, GAP analysis in recent years has
not provided the Bank with a reliable measure of its interest rate risk
exposure because of its inherent limitations.(12) Internally, Management relies
on its models and financial simulations to evaluate the Bank's interest rate
risk by determining the net change in the value of the Bank's assets and
liabilities due to changes in interest rates. The simulations indicate at
year-end 1996, substantial changes in interest rates will have more of an
impact on the Bank's net portfolio value than at year-end 1995. See Statement
of Condition - Regulatory Capital Requirements for further details.
(10) THE OTS HAS NOT YET IMPLEMENTED THIS REGULATION IMPOSING THE ADDITIONAL
CAPITAL REQUIREMENT FOR EXCESS INTEREST RATE RISK. IN ADDITION, A TWO-QUARTER
TIME LAG EXISTS BETWEEN WHEN INTEREST RATE EXPOSURES AS OF A BALANCE SHEET DATE
ARE REPORTED TO THE OTS AND WHEN ADDITIONAL CAPITAL WOULD BE ASSESSED. IN THE
REGULATION WERE IN EFFECT, THE BANK WOULD HAVE $219.7 MILLION OF EXCESS
REGULATORY CAPITAL TO MEET THE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL REQUIREMENT.
(11) PRIOR TO 1993, OTS ASSUMPTIONS FOR PREPAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL RATES WERE
USED. ASSUMPTIONS USED FOR 1993 THROUGH 1996 WERE BASED UPON MANAGEMENT
ESTIMATES. DETAILS OF ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE TABLE ARE PROVIDED IN THE NOTES
TO THE INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY GAP ANALYSIS TABLE.
(12) MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT GAP ANALYSIS IS OF LIMITED VALUE IN ASSESSING THE
EXTENT OF INTEREST RATE RISK BECAUSE IT FAILS TO ACCOUNT FOR INTEREST RATE
FLOORS AND CAPS; BASIS RISK (I.E., THE DIVERGENT CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT
TYPES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS) WHEN REPRICING OCCURS; AND THE INTERPLAY OF THE
PRICING OF NEW TRANSACTIONS UPON THE NET INTEREST SPREAD, ESPECIALLY DURING A
VOLATILE INTEREST RATE HORIZON, LIKE IN RECENT YEARS. GAP ANALYSIS ALSO HAS
OTHER INHERENT PROBLEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, AN INSTITUTION'S ASSETS COULD
THEORETICALLY REPRICE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR AND THE INSTITUTION'S
LIABILITIES COULD REPRICE ON THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR BUT BE PERFECTLY MATCHED
UNDER GAP. IN THIS EXAMPLE, THE INSTITUTION ACTUALLY WOULD BE EXPOSED TO
INTEREST RATE RISK THE ENTIRE YEAR BECAUSE OF THE REPRICING DIFFERENCES. GAP
ALSO ASSUMES THAT THE INTEREST RATE SPREAD BETWEEN INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS AND
LIABILITIES IS CONSTANT AND THAT THE "GAP" REPRESENTS THE ONLY RISK. HOWEVER,
IN REALITY, THE INTEREST RATE SPREAD IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING, SOMETIMES
SIGNIFICANTLY, AS TRANSACTIONS OCCUR OR INSTRUMENTS REPRICE. SEE RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DEC. 31, 1996 AND 1995 - NET INTEREST
INCOME FOR A DISCUSSION OF FACTORS AFFECTING THE BANK'S INTEREST RATE SPREAD.
INTEREST RATE FLOORS IN EFFECT ON $405.7 MILLION OF ADJSUTABLE RATE
LOANS AT DEC. 31, 1996 AND $531.0 MILLION AT DEC. 31, 1995 SHOULD BE CONSIDERED
IN EVALUATING THE GAP RESULTS. FLOORS ESTABLISH A MINIMUM RATE FOR ARMS, EVEN
THOUGH THE FULLY INDEXED RATE ON ARMS MAY BE LOWER. THESE LOANS WILL NOT
REPRICE UNTIL THE FULLY-INDEXED ARM RATE EXCEEDS THE EXISTING FLOOR RATE. (AT
DEC. 31 1996, THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULLY-INDEXED RATE AND
THE LOAN FLOORS WAS 87 BASIS POINTS. THESE LOANS WILL NOT ACTUALLY REPRICE
UNTIL THE UNDERLYING INDICES INCREASE AN AVERAGE OF 87 BASIS POINTS.)
CONSEQUENTLY, THE FLOORS CREATE AN ARTIFICIAL FIXED RATE LOAN FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME AND OVERSTATE THE POSITIVE GAP RESULTS UNLESS INTEREST RATES
WERE TO INCREASE PRECIPITOUSLY. INTEREST RATE CAPS ALSO SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN
UNDERSTANDING GAP RESULTS, AND NEARLY ALL ADJUSTABLE RATE LOANS AND MBS
CONTAIN PERIODIC OR LIFETIME INTEREST RATE CAPS. FOR THESE LOANS, THE AMOUNT OF
REPRICING WOULD BE LIMITED BY THE INTEREST RATE CAP. PERIODIC RATE CAPS LIMIT
THE TOTAL RATE ADJUSTMENT ON A LOAN OVER A 12-MONTH PERIOD.

(a) MORTGAGE LOAN REPRICING/MATURITY PROJECTIONS WERE BASED UPON
PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT PERCENTAGES IN EXCESS OF THE CONTRACTUAL AMORTIZATION
SCHEDULE OF THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGES. MULTIFAMILY MORTGAGES WERE ESTIMATED TO BE
PREPAID AT A RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 15% PER YEAR; ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE LOANS
ON SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES AND LOAN SECURITIES WERE ESTIMATED TO PREPAY AT A
RATE OF 22% PER YEAR; FIXED RATE LOANS AND LOAN SECURITIES WERE ESTIMATED TO
PREPAY AT A RATE OF 10% PER YEAR. LOANS WITH AN ADJUSTABLE RATE CHARACTERISTIC,
INCLUDING LOANS WITH INITIAL FIXED INTEREST RATE PERIODS, ARE CONSIDERED BY
MANAGEMENT TO HAVE AN ADJUSTABLE RATE.
CHECKING ACCOUNTS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE WITHDRAWN AT RATES BETWEEN 15% AND
21% PER YEAR. MOST OF THE REGULAR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS WERE ESTIMATED TO BE
WITHDRAWN AT RATES BETWEEN 18% AND 26% PER YEAR, ALTHOUGH FOR SOME OF THE
ACCOUNTS, MANAGEMENT ASSUMED AN EVEN FASTER RATE.
EXCEPT FOR MULTIFAMILY LOANS, THE PREPAYMENT ASSUMPTIONS INCLUDED IN THIS
SCHEDULE ARE BASED UPON THE BANK'S ACTUAL PREPAYMENT EXPERIENCE OVER THE PAST
YEAR, AS WELL AS MANAGEMENT'S FUTURE EXPECTATIONS OF PREPAYMENTS. THE BANK
ASSUMED A PREPAYMENT PERCENTAGE OF 15% BECAUSE OF CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND
THE NATURE OF THE BANK'S MULTIFAMILY PORTFOLIO. THE NEW DECAY ASSUMPTION ON
PASSBOOK AND CHECKING ACCOUNTS IS BASED ON A HISTORICAL REGRESSION ANALYSIS OF
THE BANK'S GROWTH IN THESE ACCOUNTS.
(b) INCLUDES INVESTMENT IN FHLB STOCK.
(c) EXCLUDES ACCRUED INTEREST AND ACCUMULATED PROVISIONS FOR LOAN LOSSES.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements are
comprised of the accounts of St. Paul Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, St. Paul Federal Bank For Savings (the "Bank"), St.
Paul Financial Development Corporation ("St. Paul Financial"), and Annuity
Network, Inc. ("Annuity Network").
The Bank is a consumer-oriented retail financial institution operating 52
banking offices throughout the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area. St. Paul
Financial engages in single family and, from time to time, commercial real
estate development and investment in the Chicago metropolitan area. Annuity
Network sells annuity products to the Bank's customers through the branch
network.
The financial statements of the Bank include the accounts of its eight
wholly owned subsidiaries: SPF Insurance Agency, Inc. (formerly St. Paul
Service, Inc.); St. Paul Securities, Inc.; Managed Properties, Inc.; MPI
Illinois Corporation; Community Finance Corporation; EFS Service Corporation;
EFS/San Diego Service Corporation, and St. Paul Investment Corporation. St.
Paul Investment Corporation is incorporated in the state of Delaware; all other
subsidiaries are incorporated in the state of Illinois.
SPF Insurance Agency, Inc. is an insurance agency providing a variety of
insurance products for property, automobile, life, disability income, special
multi-peril, commercial automobile, dwelling, fire, liability, bonds, workers'
compensation, and group health plans.
The Bank offers discount brokerage services directly to its customers
through Investment Network, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of St. Paul
Securities, Inc. Investment Network, Inc. provides a full line of investment
brokerage services through the Bank's branch network. As a registered
broker/dealer, the company is subject to regulation under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Investment Network, Inc. also provides investment
planning services for customers through a subsidiary, Investment Network
Advisors, Inc.
Managed Properties, Inc. and MPI Illinois Corporation are engaged in the
management of real estate acquired by the Bank through foreclosure, primarily
multifamily and commercial real estate loans.
Community Finance Corporation holds equity investments in companies that
acquire limited partnership interests in low income building development
projects that comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act.
EFS Service Corporation has participated, from time to time, in real
estate joint venture activities.
EFS/San Diego Service Corporation owns assets leased to others.
St. Paul Investment Corporation, and its subsidiary, St. Paul Asset
Management Company, were formed to acquire and manage certain real estate
related assets for the Bank.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
include cash and amounts due from depository institutions, federal funds sold,
interest-bearing bank balances, and cash equivalent securities with original
maturities of three months or less.
MARKETABLE-DEBT SECURITIES AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES ("MBS"): The Company
accounts for investment securities under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities. Under SFAS No. 115, the carrying amount of a security is
dependent upon its classification as held to maturity, trading, or available
for sale. The accounting for securities in each of the three categories is as
follows:
1) Held to Maturity: Investment securities that are classified as held to
maturity are recorded at cost, net of unamortized premiums and discounts.
Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the
contractual life of marketable-debt securities or estimated life of MBS.
Interest income is charged or credited for any adjustment to unamortized
discounts and premiums when actual MBS repayments differ substantially from
estimates. Declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in
gain or loss on asset sales based upon a specific identification method.
Management classifies only those securities that it has the positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity in this category.
2) Trading Account: Trading account transactions are carried at fair value,
with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The Company has not used
its trading account since 1993 and, accordingly, at Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, had
no assets in its trading account.
3) Available for Sale: Investment securities classified as available for sale
are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a
separate component of stockholders' equity, net of the related tax. Premiums
and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the contractual life
of marketable-debt securities or estimated life of MBS. Interest income is
charged or credited for any adjustment to unamortized discounts and premiums
when actual MBS repayments differ substantially from estimates. Realized gains
and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included
in gain or loss on asset sales, based on a specific identification method.
In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (the "FASB Guide"). The FASB Guide
allowed for a one-time reclassification of securities between categories
without calling into question prior or subsequent portfolio classification. At
Dec. 31, 1995, the Company completed a one-time transfer of securities from the
held to maturity category to the available for sale category in accordance with
the provisions of the FASB Guide. Other than the one-time transfer, the Company
has not transferred assets between the trading account, held to maturity, and
available for sale categories.
44 St. Paul Bancorp, Inc.
<PAGE> 28
LOANS RECEIVABLE: Loans receivable that are classified as held to maturity
are recorded at cost, net of unamortized discounts and premiums and deferred
loan origination fees, net of qualifying origination costs. Net deferred loan
origination fees are comprised of loan origination and commitment fees and
certain direct origination costs which are deferred when loans are originated.
Discounts, premiums, and net deferred loan origination fees on originated loans
are amortized using the interest method over the remaining contractual life of
the assets. Interest income is charged or credited for any unamortized
discounts, premiums, and net deferred loan origination fees (and costs) when
loans receivable are repaid prior to their contractual maturities. Discounts
and premiums on loans purchased as part of a pool of loans, and for which
prepayments are probable and reasonably estimated, are amortized using the
interest method over the estimated life of the pool of loans. Interest income
is charged or credited for any adjustment to unamortized premiums and discounts
when actual repayments on these pools differ substantially from estimates.
Interest income on loans is credited to income when earned. The Bank stops
accruing interest on loans deemed potentially uncollectible as a result of
delinquency or impairment, as defined by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan. Whenever the accrual of interest is stopped,
previously accrued but uncollected interest income is reversed. Thereafter,
interest is recognized only as cash is received, unless the loan is reinstated.
In some cases, cash payments may be applied to principal. Multifamily and
commercial real estate loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become
60 days delinquent or are considered impaired. The accrual of interest on
government insured loans and single family mortgages with original loan to
value ratios of 80% or less is not discontinued regardless of delinquency. All
other 1-4 family and consumer loans generally are placed on nonaccrual status
when they become 90 days delinquent.
Reserves for uncollectible loan principal are provided for through the
Bank's loan loss allowance. See discussion following.
ACCUMULATED PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES: The accumulated provision for loan
losses is comprised of specific and general valuation allowances ("reserves").
The Company complies with SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure,
which provides guidance for establishing specific valuation allowances ("SVA")
on non-homogeneous individual loans. Loans accounted for under SFAS No. 114
consist of multifamily and commercial real estate loans. Under SFAS No. 114, a
loan is considered impaired (and a SVA is established for an amount equal to
the impairment) when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the present value
of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's original effective
interest rate, or based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral.
General valuation allowances are based on an evaluation of the various
risk components which are inherent in each of the credit portfolios, including
off-balance sheet items. The risk components which are evaluated include the
level of nonperforming and classified assets, geographic concentrations of
credit, economic conditions, trends in real estate values, the impact of
changing interest rates on borrower debt service, as well as historical loss
experience, peer group comparisons, and regulatory guidance.
Additions to general and specific valuation allowances are reflected in
current operations. Management may transfer reserves between the general and
specific valuation allowances as considered necessary. Charge-offs of general
and specific valuation allowances are made when loan principal is considered
uncollectible. Recoveries are credited to the accumulated provision for loan
losses when realized.
The adequacy of the accumulated provision for loan losses is approved on a
quarterly basis by the Loan Loss Reserve Committee of the Bank's Board of
Directors. The accumulated provision for loan losses reflects Management's best
estimate of the reserves needed to provide for impairment of multifamily and
commercial real estate loans as well as other perceived credit risks of the
Bank. However, actual results could differ from this estimate and future
additions to the reserves may be necessary based on unforeseen changes in
economic conditions. In addition, federal regulators periodically review the
Bank's accumulated provision for loan losses. Such regulators have the
authority to require the Bank to recognize additions to the reserves at the
time of their examination.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE: Loans classified as "held for sale" are comprised of 1-4
family real estate loans originated for resale in the secondary market and
certain education loans. Loans are identified as held for sale before or soon
after origination or purchase.
Loans held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or market, with
each periodic lower of cost or market adjustment included in earnings. The
lower of cost or market value is determined on an individual loan basis. The
fair value of loans held for sale is based on actual sales contracts and bids
published by the secondary market.
REAL ESTATE OWNED ("REO") AND REO IN-SUBSTANCE FORECLOSURES ("ISF"): REO and
REO ISF initially are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair value,
less estimated costs to sell. The accumulated provision for loan losses is
charged for any excess of net book value over fair value at the foreclosure or
in-substance foreclosure date. Loans are classified as REO ISF based upon SFAS
No. 114. The Bank had no REO ISF at Dec. 31, 1996 or 1995.
Subsequent to foreclosure, the accumulated provision for foreclosed real
estate losses is used to establish specific reserves on individual REO
properties as declines in market value occur and to provide general reserves
for losses associated with risks inherent in the REO portfolio. In evaluating
the adequacy of the accumulated provision for foreclosed real estate losses,
Management considers the market value of specific real estate assets in
relationship to their book values, as well as the potential for further market
value declines.
LOAN SERVICING FEES AND RELATED RECEIVABLES: The Bank services mortgage loans
that have been sold to investors and has purchased mortgage servicing rights.
Fees earned for servicing loans owned by investors are reported as income when
the related mortgage loan payments are collected. Loan servicing costs are
charged to expense as incurred.
When mortgage loans are sold, the gain or loss on the transaction is
adjusted to recognize an excess service fee receivable. In general, the excess
service fee receivable represents the present value of the servicing spread
rate, in excess of the "normal" servicing rate over the estimated life of the
underlying mortgage loans. The excess service fee receivable is amortized as an
adjustment to loan servicing fee income using the interest method over the
remaining contractual term.
1996 Annual Report/10-K 45
<PAGE> 29
During 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights. For loans that the Bank originates and holds for sale or
securitizes with servicing rights retained, this Statement requires that the
total cost of the mortgage loan be allocated to mortgage servicing rights and
the loan based upon their relative fair market value. The amount capitalized as
originated mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over
the period of, estimated net servicing income. Previously, these costs were
included in the basis of loans that are sold, thereby reducing the net gain on
asset sales included in other income. During 1996, the Company capitalized
$392,000 of originated mortgage servicing rights that under prior accounting
rules would have reduced the gain on asset sales. Purchased mortgage servicing
rights are being amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated
net servicing income. See Note M - Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets for
further details.
OFFICE PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT: Office properties and equipment, including
assets under capital leases, are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization
are computed principally using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives of the assets and the remaining term of capital leases, respectively.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: Net pension costs are based on the provisions of SFAS No.
87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions. The actuarially determined pension
benefits are based on the projected unit credit method. Post-retirement
benefits, such as health care and life insurance, are accounted for under the
provisions of SFAS No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions, which requires that the projected future cost of providing
these benefits be recognized as an expense as employees render service, instead
of when benefits are paid. The projected future cost of providing
post-employment benefits (other than retirement) are accounted for under the
provisions of SFAS No. 112, Employers' Accounting for Post-Employment Benefits,
which requires these costs be recognized as an expense as employees render
service, instead of when the benefits are paid.
The Company has established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for
its employees. The Company applies the provisions of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, Employers'
Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans, which was prospectively adopted
in 1994. SOP 93-6 requires that the recognition of compensation expense for
ESOP shares acquired after 1992 and not committed to be released before the
beginning of 1994 be measured based on the fair value of those shares when
committed to be released to employees, rather than based on their original
cost.
As of Dec. 31, 1996, the ESOP had 245,438 shares acquired after Dec. 31,
1992 that are committed to be released beginning in 1997 and have not been
allocated to ESOP participants. The effect of SOP 93-6 on net income in 1997 is
expected to be nominal, as only a small amount of the unearned SOP 93-6 shares
are expected to be released. The effect on future periods is not determinable
because expense will be based on future prices of St. Paul Bancorp stock. In
addition, under SOP 93-6, these unallocated shares are not considered
outstanding and were excluded from the earnings per share ("EPS") calculation
beginning in 1994. Also, under SOP 93-6, dividends on the unearned ESOP shares
were reported as a reduction of accrued interest on the ESOP borrowing rather
than as a reduction of retained earnings. The ESOP borrowing is reported as a
liability on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition; this liability
will be reduced as the ESOP repays the borrowing. The unearned ESOP shares are
reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity; this contra-equity account
will be reduced as the unearned shares are released to the ESOP.
Shares acquired by the ESOP prior to 1994 are accounted for in accordance
with the AICPA SOP No. 76-3, Accounting Practices for Certain Employee Stock
Ownership Plans. Compensation expense was charged for the contributions made by
the Bank to service the ESOP borrowing and other contributions approved by the
Company. The ESOP borrowing is reported as a liability and a reduction in
stockholders' equity on the Company's Statement of Financial Condition. Both
the liability and contra-equity accounts are reduced as the borrowing is
repaid.
The Company maintains stock option plans for the benefit of directors,
officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
Company accounts for stock options in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under
APB No. 25, compensation expense is recorded for the difference, if any,
between the exercise price of the stock-based award and the market price of the
underlying stock at the date of grant. Because the Company grants stock options
at an exercise price that equals the market value of the Company stock on the
date of grant, no compensation expense is recorded.
During 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. This Statement requires that employers account for the issuance
of stock-based compensation to employees, such as employee stock options, by
either applying the provisions of APB No. 25 or based upon the fair value of
the award at the date of grant. However, if the employer continues to use APB
No. 25, pro forma disclosure of the results of operations must be made as if
the fair value method of accounting for these awards had been used. Because the
Company continues to use APB No. 25 for stock options and provides the required
pro forma disclosures, adoption of the Statement had no impact on the results
of operations during the year. See Note R-Stock Option Plans for further
details.
INCOME TAXES: The Company files a consolidated tax return with its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The intercompany settlement of taxes paid is based on a tax
sharing agreement that generally allocates taxes to each entity based upon a
separate return basis. The Company provides for income taxes based upon the
provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The provision for
income tax expense is determined using the liability method. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. Deferred taxes arise because certain
transactions affect the determination of taxable income for financial reporting
purposes in periods different from the period in which the transactions affect
taxable income for tax return purposes. Current tax expense is provided based
upon the actual tax liability incurred for tax return purposes.
46 St. Paul Bancorp, Inc.
<PAGE> 30
INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS: The Company has entered into interest rate
exchange agreements to modify the interest characteristics of its outstanding
debt and deposits from a floating to a fixed rate basis. These agreements
involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate
payments over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying
notional amount. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest
rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense related to the
debt or deposit. The related amount payable to or receivable from
counterparties is included in other liabilities or assets. The fair value of
the swap agreements is disclosed in Note X - Fair Value of Financial
Instruments but has not been recognized in the primary financial statements.
EARNINGS PER SHARE: Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are
computed using the treasury stock method. Stock options issued to key employees
represent the only common stock equivalent of the Company. In accordance with
SOP 93-6 and beginning in 1994, unallocated ESOP shares were excluded from the
calculation of earnings per share.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL Instruments: SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value
of Financial Instruments, as amended by SFAS No. 119, Disclosures About
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments
whether or not recognized in the statement of financial condition, for which it
is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are based upon estimates using present value or
other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows.
In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by
comparison to independent markets and may not be realizable in immediate
settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial
instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.
For this reason and others, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
represent the underlying value of the Company.
IMPACT OF OTHER RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: In 1996, the Company
adopted SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. This Statement requires impairment
losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators
of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. This
Statement also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected
to be disposed of. The effect of the adoption of this Statement was not
material.
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This
Statement provides new accounting and reporting standards for sales,
securitizations, and servicing of receivables and other financial assets, for
certain secured borrowing and collateral transactions, and for extinguishments
of liabilities. The Statement requires the Company to recognize the financial
and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred and to
derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered in accordance
with the criteria provided in the Statement. Based upon current circumstances,
Management believes the application of the new rules will not have a material
impact on the financial statements.
The Company will adopt this Statement in 1997. However, the FASB has
issued SFAS No. 127, Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of
FASB Statement No. 125 that would delay until 1998 the effective date of those
provisions of the Statement that deal with securities lending, repurchase and
dollar repurchase agreements, and their recognition.
RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 1996 presentation. All share and per share amounts for all periods have
been restated for the five-for-four stock split distributed to shareholders on
Jan. 14, 1997.

During 1996, $10.0 million of available for sale marketable-debt securities
were sold, resulting in a gross gain of $63,000 and a tax liability of $21,000.
No sales of marketable-debt securities occurred in 1995. During 1994, $70.2
million of available for sale marketable-debt securities were sold, resulting
in a nominal net loss.
U.S. Treasury securities are used as collateral for tax deposits and ESOP
borrowings. The amortized cost of U.S. Treasury securities used as collateral
at Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995 was $10.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system, the Bank is required
to maintain a specified level of investment in FHLB stock. The capital stock is
issued at $100 par, and the required amount of ownership is generally
calculated as a percentage of aggregate outstanding mortgages. The investment
in FHLB stock is carried on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition
at cost.
Dividends earned on FHLB stock were $2.4 million, $2.3 million and $1.8
million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Dividend income is included with
other investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In connection with a branch acquisition in 1991, the Bank entered into a
capital lease agreement for the use of one branch facility. Although the lease
had a term of 25 years, the Bank exercised its option and purchased the
facility in January 1997 for $1.65 million in cash and a $1.1 million security
deposit held by the lessor. The purchase of the facility is expected to save
over $500,000 annually in lease payments over the remaining term of the lease.
The Bank also has operating leases on certain office properties. Rent expense
incurred in connection with these leases was $2.7 million in 1996 and $2.3
million in both 1995 and 1994.

For the purpose of evaluating and measuring impairment of capitalized mortgage
servicing rights, the Bank stratifies these rights based on two predominant
risk characteristics - property type (i.e., single-family vs. multifamily) and
interest rate type (i.e., fixed vs. adjustable). Impairment is recognized
through a valuation allowance related to each individual stratum. There has
been no activity in the valuation allowance during 1996 and 1995. The fair
value of mortgage servicing rights was $3.7 million at Dec. 31, 1996. See Note
X - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further details.

FHLB ADVANCES: As a member of the FHLB System, the FHLB of Chicago is allowed
to extend credit to the Bank through advances and letters of credit of up to
20% of the Bank's total assets. The Bank maintains qualifying loans in its
portfolio of at least 170% of outstanding advances as collateral for notes
payable to the FHLB of Chicago. The FHLB stock is also pledged as collateral.
During 1996, the average month-end balance of short-term FHLB advances was
$229.9 million, with an average month-end rate of 5.81%. The highest month-end
balance during 1996 was $330.3 million. During 1995, the average month-end
balance of short-term FHLB advances was $109.0 million, with an average
month-end rate of 6.25%. The highest month-end balance during 1995 was $125.3
million.
SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE: The Bank enters into sales of
securities sold under agreements to repurchase with nationally recognized
securities dealers.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase can have varying
maturities. In exchange for the loan, the Bank pledges designated collateral to
the securities dealer. At Dec. 31, 1996, the collateral securing these
borrowings had a carrying amount of $52.9 million and a fair value of $51.9
million. As of Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank had approximately $750.0 million of
unused credit lines available to borrow under agreements to repurchase. The
average amount of securities sold under agreements to repurchase during 1996
was $43.8 million, with an average month-end rate of 5.57%. The highest
month-end balance during 1996 for these borrowings was $50.0 million. The
average amount of securities sold under agreements to repurchase during 1995
was $60.4 million, with an average month-end rate of 6.17%. The highest
month-end balance during 1995 for these borrowings was $100.0 million.
SUBORDINATED NOTES: In February 1993, the Company issued $34.5 million of 8.25%
subordinated notes that were used by the Company for general corporate
purposes, including the purchase of St. Paul Financial from the Bank. The notes
are scheduled to mature on Jan. 31, 2000, but may be redeemed without penalty
any time after Jan. 31, 1996. The notes are unsecured general obligations of
the Company and are subordinated to all senior indebtedness. The notes limit
the amount of indebtedness the Company may incur in future periods as well as
the payment of dividends and other capital distributions. See Note Q -
Stockholders' Equity for a description of dividend and capital distribution
limitations. The Company plans to redeem the notes during the first quarter of
1997 with proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes described further
below.
MORTGAGE-BACKED NOTES: The Bank had $16.4 million of mortgage-backed notes
outstanding as of Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995. The mortgage-backed notes are secured
by MBS held by an independent trustee. Collateral agreements require
maintaining an aggregate market value of not less than the amount necessary to
effect a maturity collateral substitution if necessary. At Dec. 31, 1996, the
collateral securing these notes had a carrying amount and fair value of
approximately $24.1 million and $23.6 million, respectively. At Dec. 31, 1995,
the collateral securing these notes had a carrying amount and fair value of
approximately $23.8 million. As of Dec. 31, 1996, these notes had a "AAA"
rating from Moody's Investor Services. The Bank may issue up to an additional
$400.0 million of such notes with varying terms through an existing
underwriting agreement, subject to market conditions and collateral
availability.
ESOP BORROWINGS: A noncontributory, leveraged employee stock ownership plan was
established by the Company in April 1987. The ESOP obtained, through another
financial institution, a $14.0 million line of credit, and at Dec. 31, 1996,
$3.3 million was outstanding under this line. See Note A - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies for further details.
The line of credit is guaranteed by the Company and amounts drawn under
the arrangement are secured by shares of Company stock owned by the ESOP and a
portion of the marketable-debt securities owned by the Company.
1996 Annual Report/10-K 53
<PAGE> 37
At Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, Company stock securing the borrowings had an
original cost of $3.1 and $3.3 million and fair values of $6.3 and $5.9
million, respectively. At Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, the marketable-debt
securities securing the borrowings had a carrying amount, which approximated
their fair value, of $198,000 and $197,000, respectively.
CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS: In 1991, the Bank entered into a capital lease for
the use of a branch facility. The obligation is classified as short-term as the
Bank exercised its option to purchase the underlying property in January of
1997. See Note L - Office Properties and Equipment for further details.
LINE OF CREDIT: The Company has obtained a $20.0 million revolving unsecured
line of credit from another financial institution. The Company can elect the
interest rate on this borrowing to be either the prime rate or 75 basis points
over the 3-month LIBOR rate. No funds had been borrowed as of Dec. 31, 1996 or
1995.
SENIOR NOTES: In February of 1997, the Company issued $100 million of unsecured
7.125% Senior Notes. The notes will be used to redeem the $34.5 million of
outstanding 8.25% subordinated notes and for general corporate purposes. The
notes will mature on Feb. 15, 2004.

Retained earnings at Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, included approximately $49.2
million of income for which no deferred federal income tax liability has been
recognized. This amount represents earnings appropriated to bad debt reserves
and deducted for federal income tax purposes and is not available for payment
of cash dividends or other distributions to shareholders, including
distributions on redemption, dissolution, or liquidation of the Bank without
incurring a tax liability. If triggered, the tax liability related to the
appropriated earnings would have been $18.6 million at Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995.

<PAGE> 38
NOTE Q
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
HOLDING COMPANY: The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes up to 40
million shares of common stock and up to 10 million shares of preferred stock.
Such preferred stock may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights,
liquidation preferences or both, and may have full or limited voting rights.
In 1992, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights
Plan which is designed to strengthen the Board's ability to act for the
stockholders in the event of an unsolicited bid to acquire control of the
Company. Each outstanding share of common stock currently is attached to one
Right under the Plan. If the Rights become exercisable, each Right initially
would entitle the holder (except the acquiring person or entity referred to
below) to purchase from the Company, 0.533% of a share of Series A junior
participating preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $80.00,
subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. If a person or entity becomes a
10% beneficial owner of the Company's common stock (other than through the
acquisition of newly issued shares directly from the Company), each holder of a
Right would be entitled to receive, in lieu of the preferred stock, at the
then-current exercise price of the Right, common stock (or, in certain
circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a
value equal to two times the exercise price.
In general, the Rights become exercisable if another person or entity
without Board approval acquires 10% or more of the Company's outstanding common
stock, makes a tender offer for that amount of stock, or files a regulatory
application for approval of a change in control of the Company. The acquiring
person or entity would not be entitled to exercise the Rights. These Rights
expire at the earliest of Nov. 13, 2002, redemption of the Rights by the
Company at a price of $0.01 per Right, or exchange of the Rights in accordance
with the Plan. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or entity
attempting to acquire the Company without conditioning the offer on the Rights
being redeemed or a substantial number of Rights being acquired.
At Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, there were 136,682 and 143,449 shares of
preferred stock reserved for future exercise of the Rights, respectively.
Dividends and other distributions of St. Paul Bancorp stock are subject to
restrictions agreed upon by the Company in connection with the issuance of
$34.5 million of subordinated notes in 1993. Cumulative dividends and other
distributions subsequent to Dec. 31, 1992 are limited to the sum of: (a) $22.0
million plus (b) 75% of the Company's aggregate consolidated net income
subsequent to Dec. 31, 1992, less (c) 100% of the amount of consolidated net
loss incurred by the Company during any fiscal year subsequent to Dec. 31, 1992
plus (d) 100% of the net proceeds received by the Company from any equity
securities issued by the Company (other than to a subsidiary) subsequent to
Dec. 31, 1992. The Company plans to redeem the subordinated notes during the
first quarter of 1997. See Note O - Borrowings for further details.
As of Dec. 31, 1996, the Company has acquired 2,819,215 shares of its
outstanding common stock under share repurchase plans. On Jan. 15, 1997, the
Company announced the extension of its existing stock repurchase program for an
additional six months. Of the 1.125 million shares of common stock authorized
to be repurchased under the program (representing about 5% of the Company's
outstanding shares), 112,500 shares had been purchased by Dec. 31, 1996 through
open market and privately negotiated transactions.
BANK: The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additionally
discretionary) actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Bank's (and the Company's) financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Bank's capital amounts and classification also are 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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I
capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets. As of
Dec. 31, 1996, Management believes that the Bank meets all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.
As of Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank meets the requirements of the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to be categorized as "well capitalized" under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well
capitalized," the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital ratios,
Tier I risk-based ratios, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table
below. The Bank's actual amounts and ratios are also presented in the following
table:

In addition to the Tier I leverage ratio, the Bank must maintain a ratio of
tangible capital to regulatory assets of 1.50%. As of Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995,
the Bank's tangible capital ratio of 8.80% and 8.95%, respectively, exceeded
the minimum required ratio.

Regulatory rules currently impose limitations on all capital distributions by
savings institutions, including dividends, stock repurchase and cash-out
mergers. In recent quarters, the Bank has paid dividends of 50% of net income
to the Company, however, beginning with earnings from the fourth quarter of
1996 the Bank intends to pay dividends to the Company in an amount equal to
100% of net income.
NOTE R
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company has two stock option plans for the benefit of directors, officers
and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Stock Option
Plan (the "Option Plan") was first approved by the Company's stockholders at
the 1988 annual meeting, and with shareholder approval at subsequent annual
meetings, a total of 3,368,750 shares of authorized but unissued common stock
were reserved for issuance. At the 1995 annual meeting, shareholders approved
the 1995 Incentive Plan (the "1995 Plan"), which reserved an additional
1,125,000 shares of authorized but unissued common stock for issuance. Under
the 1995 Plan, the Company may grant non-qualified stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance shares and performance units
to key employee and non-employee directors. As of Dec. 31, 1996, the Company
has issued only non-qualified stock options under the 1995 Plan. At Dec. 31,
1996, the Company had 2,848,083 shares of common stock reserved for issuance
under the Company's stock option plan.
The Option Plan and the 1995 Plan authorize the Stock Option Committee of
the Board of Directors to administer the plan and make recommendations to award
stock-based compensation to key officers, directors and employees. Stock-based
compensation is granted at the discretion of the Stock Option Committee, with
grants generally made based upon individual performance or promotions. The 1995
Plan also provides for automatic grants of 1,500 non-qualified stock options to
non-employee directors on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders and
grants 9,375 non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors upon their
initial election to the Board of Directors of the Company. These options become
exercisable after one year. Stock options are granted at an option price equal
to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and
have a 10-year term. The amount of stock option grants increases according to
salary and position within the Company. Options granted to employees under both
the Option Plan and the 1995 Plan are exercisable in respect of 50% of the
number of shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and are
exercisable in respect of an additional 12.5% on each of the second, third,
fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant. However, the options are
100% exercisable for any employee who has completed five years of employment
with the Company. The options also become exercisable upon any merger or
consolidation of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity.
The Company has elected to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related
Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options rather than the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under SFAS Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement, which was adopted
during 1996, requires use of option valuation models that were not developed
for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, because the
exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price
of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that
Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.9%
and 6.0%; dividend yields of 1.7% and 1.3%; volatility factors of the expected
market price of the Company's common stock of .37 and .38; and a
weighted-average expected life of the options of 7 years. The weighted-average
fair value of options granted during 1996 and 1995 was $7.89 and $7.88,
respectively.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Compensation
costs that would have been charged against income under SFAS No. 123 would have
been $3.6 million and $4.3 million during 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
amount recognized as compensation expense for 1996 and 1995 pro forma
disclosures may not be representative of the effect on reported net income for
future years, because options can vest over several years and additional awards
are generally made each year. The Company's pro forma information follows:

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS: The Bank sponsors a defined benefit pension plan ("the Plan")
covering substantially all employees of the Company. Benefits are based on
years of service and the employee's highest 60 consecutive months of
compensation. Contributions to the Plan are designed to fund current service
costs on a current basis, and to fund over 40 years the liability for benefits
arising from qualifying service prior to Jan. 1, 1976, and to fund subsequent
amendments over 30 years.
Additionally, the Bank sponsors supplemental retirement plans ("the
Supplemental Plans"). The Supplemental Plans are non-qualified defined benefit
plans established to provide retirement benefits (as determined by provisions
of the Supplemental Plans) that cannot be provided from the Plan because of
limitations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 415 and 401(a)(17). The Bank
also sponsors a non-qualifying, defined benefit retirement plan for the
Company's directors ("the Directors' Plan"). Payments due under the
Supplemental Plans and the Directors' Plan are made from the Bank's general
assets when due.
Total pension cost for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $3.7 million, $3.0 million
and $3.6 million, respectively. Pension cost was comprised of the following
components:

At Dec. 31, 1996, the Plan's assets consisted of cash equivalents, corporate
and government bonds, and various equity securities. Included in the equity
securities is $5.2 million (or 222,772 shares) of Company stock. Total
dividends received by the Plan on Company common stock totaled $78,000.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN: The Company has established an ESOP designed to
invest in the common stock of the Company for the benefit of employees of the
Company. All employees who have completed at least one year of credited service
at the Bank are eligible to participate in the ESOP. The ESOP is subject to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is intended to constitute a
qualified stock bonus plan for income tax purposes.
The ESOP is authorized to borrow money to finance the acquisition of
Company common stock and to pledge the stock acquired to secure payment of the
loan. The Bank does not provide financing for the ESOP. During 1987, the ESOP
borrowed $5.0 million to purchase 937,500 shares of Company common stock. This
loan was repaid in full during 1994. During 1991, the ESOP obtained a $5.0
million line of credit, which was later increased to $14.0 million. As of Dec.
31, 1996, $3.3 million of this line of credit was outstanding. The ESOP began
making quarterly principal and interest payments during the third quarter of
1996. Previously, interest-only payments were made on this borrowing.
Outstanding ESOP borrowings are guaranteed by the Company and are included in
other borrowings and stockholders' equity in the Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition. The ESOP borrowings are also partially secured by
marketable-debt securities owned by the Company.
In addition to the acquisition of Company stock through proceeds from
borrowings, the ESOP can elect to purchase additional shares if ESOP
contributions are in excess of debt service requirements.
Leveraged shares of Company stock are held by the ESOP trustee as
collateral on the loan. As principal and interest on the loan are paid, shares
held as collateral are released. The ESOP loan is being repaid from Bank
contributions and dividends on the unallocated shares of Company stock.
Dividends on allocated shares are used to purchase additional Company stock for
the ESOP.
Contributions to the ESOP are made at the sole discretion of the Board of
Trustees of the ESOP, but may not exceed 15% of the aggregate compensation of
all participants. Since the ESOP's inception, contributions have been
sufficient to service the ESOP debt and, in certain years, have allowed the
ESOP to acquire additional shares of Company stock or reduce the outstanding
loan amount.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT RISK
LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE: At Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank serviced $46.6
million and $70.8 million, respectively, of multifamily loans sold with
recourse. The Bank's credit exposure with respect to these loans sold with
recourse at Dec. 31, 1996 totaled $9.0 million and was collateralized by $8.5
million of MBS. In comparison, the Bank's credit exposure for these loans at
Dec. 31, 1995 totaled $16.6 million and was collateralized by $12.3 million of
MBS.
The multifamily loans were originated and sold prior to 1990 by the Bank
based upon its normal underwriting standards and continue to be serviced and
analyzed by the Bank. The maximum loss related to multifamily loans sold with
recourse that would be recognized by the Bank in the event of complete default
by the borrowers and worthlessness of the collateral at Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995
was $9.0 million and $16.6 million, respectively. Multifamily loans repurchased
under recourse provision during 1996 and 1995 totaled $5.4 million and $6.1
million, respectively.
The following schedule presents the geographical distribution of the real
estate collateral of multifamily loans sold with recourse as of Dec. 31, 1996
and 1995:

</TABLE>
At Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank serviced $28.6 million of single-family loans sold
with recourse. The single-family loans were originated by the Bank based upon
its normal underwriting standards and continue to be monitored by the Bank. As
of Dec. 31, 1996, the maximum loss that would be recognized by the Company in
the event of a complete default by the borrowers and the complete worthlessness
of the underlying collateral was $28.6 million. There were no additional
single-family loans sold with recourse during 1996 or 1995. The Bank also has
$389.0 million of MBS that if sold from its portfolio would have recourse to
the Bank.
LOAN ORIGINATION COMMITMENTS: At Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank had $11.4 million in
outstanding loan commitments to originate 1-4 family first mortgage loans, as
well as $12.5 million of commitments to originate multifamily, land and land
development loans. These consisted of adjustable rate loan commitments totaling
$20.7 million and fixed rate loan commitments of $3.2 million. Most of these
commitments expire after 60 days.
At Dec. 31, 1995, the Bank had $11.4 million in outstanding loan
commitments to originate 1-4 family first mortgage loans, as well as $15.3
million of commitments to originate multifamily, land and land development
loans. These consisted of adjustable rate loan commitments totaling $23.5
million and fixed rate loan commitments of $3.2 million. Most of these
commitments expire after 60 days.
The Bank enters into loan commitments after a determination is made
regarding the borrower's ability to repay the loan and the adequacy of the
property as collateral. Generally, loan commitments are limited to 80% of the
collateral value unless the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance. The
Bank attempts to fulfill loan commitments as long as no violations of
conditions established in the contract occur. Historically, approximately 90%
of its loan commitments have been fulfilled.
FORWARD SALE COMMITMENTS: As of Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank had forward loan
sale commitments of $5.8 million, including $4.0 million of forward contracts
related to loan origination commitments. As of Dec. 31, 1995, the Bank had
forward loan sale commitments of $5.9 million including $1.5 million of forward
contracts related to loan origination commitments. All market value losses on
forward sale commitments have been reflected in the consolidated financial
statements.
UNUSED CREDIT LINES: The Bank had outstanding unused home equity lines of
credit of $85.3 million and $55.4 million as of Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Home equity lines of credit represent junior mortgages on 1-4
family homes. Home equity lines of credit have fixed expiration dates. Because
many of the line of credit commitments will expire without being drawn upon,
the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. The maximum loss that would be recognized by the Bank as of Dec.
31, 1996 and 1995, in the event that borrowers used 100% of their outstanding
credit limits and, subsequently, a complete default by the borrowers and
worthlessness of underlying collateral occurred, was $85.3 million and $55.4
million, respectively.
LETTERS OF CREDIT: At Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had issued $7.3
million and $6.8 million, respectively, of standby letters of credit. The
Company has issued letters of credits to various counties and villages as a
performance guarantee of land development and improvements and to a commercial
bank as collateral for a loan on a land development project. Most of the
letters of credit at Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995 have been issued on behalf of St.
Paul Financial. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in lending. As of Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995,
the maximum loss that would be recognized by the Company in the event of a
complete default by the performing party and worthlessness of the underlying
collateral was $7.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

GUARANTEES OF INDEBTEDNESS OF OTHERS: In connection with the Elm Financial
acquisition in 1993, the Bank had assumed two agreements to guarantee the
repayment of principal and related interest on municipal revenue bonds. The
Bank was released from one of the agreements in 1996. The remaining bond is
secured by multifamily real estate, and the outstanding principal balance was
$2.8 million at Dec. 31, 1996 and $4.8 million at Dec. 31, 1995.
As of Dec. 31, 1996, MBS securities with carrying amounts of $2.9 million,
and fair values of $2.8 million, were pledged as collateral on the guarantees.
As of Dec. 31, 1995, MBS and U.S. Treasury securities with carrying amounts of
$3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and fair values of $3.1 million
and $2.5 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral on the guarantees.
The Bank does not own any of the bonds, nor have there been any defaults on the
bonds.
As of Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, the maximum loss that would be recognized by
the Company in the event of a complete default by the creditors and
worthlessness of the underlying collateral was $2.8 million and $4.8 million
respectively.
INTEREST RATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENTS: The Bank used interest rate exchange
agreements in 1996 and 1995 to help reduce certain interest rate exposures. At
Dec. 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank had $93.6 million and $122.5 million,
respectively, in notional amount interest rate exchange agreements outstanding
on which the Bank pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest
rate, based on a referenced index, from the counterparty. These exchange
agreements are held for purposes other than trading.
The following table provides a rollforward of the notional amount of
interest rate exchange agreements:

==============================================
</TABLE>
The following are the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the
fair value of financial instruments.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The fair value of cash and amounts due from
depository institutions approximates their carrying amount. The fair value of
short-term investments was determined based on bid prices published in
financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers.
MARKETABLE-DEBT SECURITIES: The fair value of marketable-debt securities was
determined based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid
quotations received from securities dealers.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES: The fair values of MBS were determined based on bid
quotations received from securities dealers.
LOANS RECEIVABLE: The fair value of 1-4 family mortgages was based upon future
cash flows discounted at a rate that reflects an estimate of current market
rates for the underlying mortgage loans, and in certain instances, quotes
received from the secondary market.
The fair value of multifamily and commercial real estate, land and
consumer loans was calculated based on an estimate of the timing of future cash
flows, discounted at a rate that reflects an estimate of current market rates
for these types of loans. The discount rate for the Bank's classified loans was
adjusted for the inherent credit risk in those assets. The estimate of the
timing of cash flows was based on the same prepayment assumptions used for
regulatory interest rate risk reporting. Most of the Bank's multifamily and
commercial real estate and land loans are adjustable rate mortgages.
ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE: The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable
is a reasonable estimate of its fair value because its maturity is short-term
and potentially uncollectible amounts have been reserved.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK: The fair value of FHLB stock equals its book
value because the shares can be resold to the FHLB or other member banks at its
par value of $100 per share.
DEPOSITS: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings,
checking and money market accounts, is considered to be equal to the amount
payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit was computed as
the present value of future cash outflows, based on contractual maturities,
discounted at rates equivalent to those offered by the Bank at Dec. 31, 1996
and 1995 for certificates of deposit with similar maturities.
BORROWINGS: The fair value of FHLB advances was determined based upon a
discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate commensurate with rates
currently offered by the FHLB for similar remaining maturities. The fair values
of the repurchase agreements, subordinated notes and the mortgage-backed note
were based upon quotes received from securities dealers. The fair value of the
ESOP borrowing approximates its carrying amount because the borrowings reprice
frequently at market interest rates.
ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE: The carrying amount of accrued interest payable is a
reasonable estimate of its fair value because its maturity is short-term.
OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES: Other financial assets and liabilities
include the excess servicing fee receivable, mortgage servicing rights, loan
origination and sales commitments, letters of credit and other credit-related
guarantees, recourse provisions on loans sold with recourse, and interest rate
exchange agreements.
1996 Annual Report/10-K 63
<PAGE> 47
The fair value of excess servicing fee receivable was determined based
upon the present value of anticipated loan servicing cash flows, discounted at
a market rate of interest for assets with similar risk.
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was determined by calculating
the present value of estimated future cash flows using a discount rate,
prepayment rate and servicing costs commensurate with the risks involved.
The fair value of commitments to originate mortgage loans was estimated
using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into
account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness
of the borrowers. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also considers
the difference between current interest rates and the committed rates.
The fair value of forward loan sale commitments represents the loss the
Bank would incur to enter into an offsetting agreement and was determined from
quotes received from securities dealers.
The fair value of the letters of credit and the guarantee of indebtedness
of others represents the amount the Company would have to pay a third party to
assume the related liability.
It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company's
liability with respect to loans sold with recourse because of the significance
of the cost to obtain external quotes. The fair value of the liability for
loans sold with recourse would represent the amount the Bank would have to pay
a third party to assume the recourse obligation.
The fair value of interest rate exchange agreements was obtained from a
dealer quote and represents the estimated amount the Bank would receive or pay
to terminate the contract, taking into account current interest rates and the
creditworthiness of the counterparties.

COMPETITION
St. Paul Bancorp experiences substantial competition in attracting and
retaining deposit accounts, making mortgage and other loans, and selling
investment products. Competition for deposit accounts comes primarily from
other federally insured financial institutions, such as savings institutions,
commercial banks and credit unions; money market funds; and other investment
alternatives. Competition for origination of loan products comes primarily from
mortgage brokers, other savings institutions, mortgage banking firms,
commercial banks, insurance companies and finance companies. Competition for
investment product sales comes primarily from other brokerage operations,
insurance companies and mutual funds. Many of St. Paul's competitors are
unregulated and are not subject to the same restrictions as the Bank.
St. Paul's market area is experiencing increased competition from the
acquisition of local financial institutions by larger commercial banking and
savings institutions.
PROPERTIES
All the office properties and most of the equipment appearing in the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Note L - Office Properties
and Equipment are owned by the Bank. As of Dec. 31, 1996, the Bank had 52
banking offices located throughout the greater Chicago metropolitan area.
Seventeen of the branches were located in OMNI(R) and Cub(R) food stores in the
Chicago area. All branch locations, except for three drive-up facilities, are
full service offices that provide a full range of banking services. Of the 52
banking offices, 27 were owned and 25 were leased as of Dec. 31, 1996. Also,
the Bank owned five administrative buildings and leases administrative office
space in an office complex near the Bank's home office. At Dec. 31, 1996, the
aggregate net book value of St. Paul Federal's banking and administrative
offices owned and the leasehold improvements at the offices leased was $28.3
million. Management believes all these properties are in good condition.
In addition to its land, buildings and leasehold improvements, the Bank
had an aggregate net investment in equipment of $19.0 million at Dec. 31, 1996.
Included in the equipment owned by the Bank is mainframe, hardware, teller
platforms, desktop computers, ATMs and furnishings.
REGULATION
The Company, as a savings and loan holding company, and the Bank, as a
federally chartered savings bank, are subject to extensive regulation,
supervision and examination by the OTS as their primary federal regulator. The
Bank also is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and as to certain matters by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board").
See Management's Discussion and Analysis and Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements as to the impact of certain laws, rules and regulations on the
operations of the Company and the Bank. Set forth below is a description of
certain recent regulatory developments.
As discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis, legislation was
enacted in 1996 to repeal Section 593 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "IRC") under which qualified savings institutions calculated their
bad debt deduction for federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, as discussed
in Management's Discussion and Analysis, separate legislation was enacted in
September 1996 to address the undercapitalization of the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), of which the Bank is a member (the "1996
Legislation").
The 1996 Legislation also contemplates the merger of the SAIF with the
Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"), which generally insures deposits in national
and state-chartered banks. The combined deposit insurance fund, which will be
formed no earlier than Jan. 1, 1999, will insure deposits at all FDIC-insured
depository institutions. As a condition to the combined insurance fund,
however, no insured depository institution can be chartered as a savings
association. The Secretary of the Treasury is required to report to the
Congress no later than Mar. 31, 1997 with respect to the development of a
common charter for all insured depository institutions. If legislation with
respect to the development of a common charter is enacted, the Bank may be
required to convert its federal charter to either a new federal type of bank
charter or state depository institution charter. Future legislation also may
result in the Company becoming regulated as a bank holding company by the
Federal Reserve Board rather than a savings and loan holding company regulated
by the OTS. Regulation by the Federal Reserve Board could subject the Company
to capital requirements that are not currently applicable to the Company as a
holding company under OTS regulation and may result in statutory limitations on
the type of business activities in which the Company may engage at the holding
company level, which business activities currently are not restricted. The
Company and the Bank are unable to predict whether such legislation will be
enacted.
The 1996 legislation also contained several provisions augmenting the
Bank's commercial lending authority by 10% of assets, provided that any loans
in excess of 10% are used for small business loans. Furthermore, the qualified
thrift lender test that the Bank must comply with was liberalized to provide
that small business, credit card and student loans can be included without any
limit, and that the Bank can qualify as a qualified thrift lender by meeting
either the test set forth in the Home Owners' Loan Act or under the definition
of a domestic building and loan association as defined under the IRC. The Bank
does not expect such provisions to materially impact its operations.
1996 Annual Report/10-K 67
<PAGE> 51
During 1996, the OTS continued its comprehensive review of its regulations
to eliminate duplicative, unduly burdensome and unnecessary regulations
concerning lending and investments, corporate governance, subsidiaries and
equity investments, conflicts of interest and usurpation of corporate
opportunity. The OTS's revised lending and investments regulation generally
imposes general safety and soundness standards, and also provides that
commercial loans made by a service corporation of a savings association will be
exempted from an institution's overall 10% limit on commercial loans. Such
regulations now allow an institution to use its own cost-of-funds index in
structuring adjustable-rate mortgages, and eliminate percentage of assets
limitations on credit card lending.
The OTS also converted its policy statement on conflicts of interest to a
regulation that is intended to be based upon common law principles of "duty of
loyalty" and "duty of care." The new conflicts regulation provides that
directors, officers, employees, persons having the power to control the
management or policies of savings associations, and other persons who owe
fiduciary duties to savings institutions will be prohibited from advancing
their own personal or business interests, or those of others, at the expense of
the institutions they serve. The "appearance of a conflict of interest"
standard was removed from the scope of the revised rule. The OTS also clarified
that "persons having the power to control the management or policies of savings
associations" includes holding companies such as the Company. The OTS corporate
opportunity regulations and policy statements also were eliminated and replaced
with a standard similar to common law standards governing usurpation of
corporate opportunity. Under the revised regulation, transfers of a line of
business within a holding company structure will not be deemed to be a
usurpation of corporate opportunity if an institution receives fair market
consideration for a line of business transferred to its holding company or its
affiliate. In such transactions, the OTS will generally defer to decisions made
by a holding company, subject to compliance with Sections 23A or 23B of the
Federal Reserve Act and general safety and soundness principles.
