</TABLE>

    Total impaired loans at June 30, 1997 were $1.7 million.

    In addition to residential and commercial mortgage loans and consumer loans
    90 days or more delinquent, which totaled $269,000, the Bank identified two
    participating interests totaling $1.4 million at June 30, 1997 that were
    ninety days delinquent. The participating interests represent interests in
    loans to a single borrower and are secured by multi-family properties
    located in Southern Wisconsin. Payments were received during the first six
    months of 1997 that maintained the loans at an approximate 90 day delinquent
    status. The underlying borrower sold the properties on contract to an
    individual that ultimately declared bankruptcy. The properties have been
    cleared from the bankruptcy proceedings and the original borrower is
    completing a plan to return the loans to current status.

    A total of $58,000 in interest income was recognized during the first six
    months of 1997 on impaired loans. A total of $48,000 was recognized on the
    two delinquent participations discussed above. An additional $106,000 of
    interest income would have been recognized had the nonaccruing impaired
    loans remained current. The average recorded investment in impaired loans
    during the six months ended June 30, 1997 was approximately $2.7 million.

    The Bank has no restructured loans at June 30, 1997.


(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE

    The Company's outstanding common shares have been adjusted for all periods
    presented to reflect the impact of the three-for-two stock split declared by
    the Board of Directors on April 22, 1997.

    Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 were
    computed by dividing net income by 1,774,297, the average number of common
    and common equivalent shares (using the treasury share method) outstanding,
    respectively. The Company's equivalent shares consist 
<PAGE>
 
    entirely of common stock options.

    Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
    computed by dividing net income by 1,758,030 and 1,741,162, the weighted
    average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods as
    adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock options.

(4) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
    No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which is required to be adopted on December
    31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method
    currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
    periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per
    share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact is
    expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share for the
    three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 of $.02. The
    impact is expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share of
    $.01 and $.03 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996. The impact
    of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for
    these quarters is not expected to be material.

not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's June 30, 1997 balance sheet reflects the continuing focus upon
community banking.  The consumer loan portfolio increased $3.7 million, or 5%
during the first six months of 1997 while the commercial business loan portfolio
increased $1.4 million, or 22%.  Consumer growth was largely due to the
origination of indirect automobile loans.  All such loans are underwritten and
approved by HomeBanc loan officers.  Growth was also generated in home equity
and improvement loans, a result of targeted loan promotions during the first
half of 1997.  The Bank intends to continue such promotions during the second
half of 1997.  The Bank's involvement with the business community continues to
provide steady growth in the commercial loan portfolio.  Relationships
established through business lending generally result in the Bank providing
additional services as well, such as checking and related services.

The mortgage loan portfolio remained relatively stable, increasing $291,000, or
less than 1% during the first six months of 1997.  A $1.8 million participation
secured by a motel in southern Wisconsin was repaid during 1997.  Included with
mortgage loans is the Bank's construction portfolio, which increased $2.3
million during the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The Bank does not anticipate
similar growth in the construction loan portfolio during the second half of
1997. The Bank continues to sell all fixed interest rate one to-four family
mortgage loans originated as well as certain adjustable rate loans.

Investment in real estate developments increased $668,000 during the first six
months of 1997.  The Company sold its interest in two real estate development
partnerships during 1997 at a small gain.  The partnerships each contained a
single developed commercial lot.  This decline was more than offset primarily by
increased undistributed earnings in the Company's final real estate partnership.
This partnership sold two commercial parcels in 1997 and generated income that
had not yet been distributed to the Company at June 30, 1997.  The Company's
remaining project is located in suburban Chicago and contains both residential
and commercial lots.  The completion of the final 90 residential lots was
initiated during the first quarter and management anticipates the lots being
available for sale during third quarter 1997.

Investment in foreclosed real estate decreased $265,000 to $9.4 million.  A
provision of $470,000 was recorded during the second quarter of 1997 based upon
management's ongoing evaluation of the REO properties.  See "Results of
Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 vs 1996."

Deposits of the Bank declined between June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996
primarily due to run-off of 30 to 36 month certificates of deposit.  The Bank
<PAGE>
 
continues to focus upon the generation of what are considered core banking
relationships.

The Bank's suit in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the United
States for breach of contract wit regard to the utilization as capital of the
supervisory goodwill, which was created when the Bank acquired failing
institutions in the 1980's, has been stayed pending the outcome of an appeal in
another case that was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.  While the Supreme Court
ruled favorably on the issue in the other case, the Company's suit has yet to be
heard.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VS 1996:

Net income increased 16% during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the
same quarter of 1996.  The Company's more significant improvements were noted in
income from real estate development and loan fees and service charges.  These
improvements were partially offset by a $470,000 provision for loss on REO
recorded during the second quarter of 1997.  Net interest income was consistent
between the quarters at $2.4 million.
<PAGE>
 
Net Interest Income
- -------------------

The Company's net interest margin increased to 3.17% during the second quarter
of 1997 from 3.08% during second quarter 1996.  The asset yield increased to
7.88% from 7.72% while the Company's cost of funds increased to 4.82% from
4.75%.  The increased asset yield resulted from consumer loan portfolio growth
and increased yields in the mortgage and mortgage-backed securities portfolios.
Consumer originations continued to provide portfolio growth, while the equity
line of credit portfolio provided an asset capable of immediately responding to
changes in interest rates.  The mortgage portfolio contains six month adjustable
ARMS and construction loans which are both responsive to interest rate changes.
The increased yield from the mortgage-backed securities portfolio was the result
of repricing adjustable rate securities and a general slowing of repayment
activity, which benefits the Bank's portfolio which has a net premium position.
No mortgage-backed securities were purchased during 1997.

The increase in cost of funds is primarily the result of repricing of savings
deposits and competition in the Bank's market area for certificates of deposit.
Management continues to position the Bank in a competitive pricing scenario, but
does not attempt to match or exceed every rate offered locally.  The cost of
savings deposits (passbook savings and money market) was 2.58% for the second
quarter of 1997 versus 2.11% during the second quarter of 1996.


Non-Interest Income
- -------------------

Income from real estate development increased to $688,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from a minimal loss during 1996.  The 1997 income is due
primarily to the sale of commercial lots from one development partnership in
which the company is a partner.  The remaining development partnership contains
both single-family and commercial lots, although management does not anticipate
the same volume of commercial lots closings during the second half of 1997 as
was experienced in the first six months.

Loan fees and service charges increased $47,000, or 11% in the second quarter of
1997 as compared to second quarter 1996.  The improvement was primarily due to
increased service charges which continue to grow due to the emphasis upon the
Bank's core deposit base.  Core deposits, such as checking and savings accounts
tend to generate more fee income than time deposits.

Net gains from the sale of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and investment
securities declined to $83,000 for the second quarter of 1997 from $211,000
during the second quarter of 1996.  There were fewer loans originated and sold
during 1997.  This was due in large part to a general slowing of real estate
sales in the Bank's primary market area. The Bank has recently initiated plans,
both through the addition of personnel and expansion of residential loan
products offered, to increase mortgage originations and sales.

Provisions for Loan and REO Losses
- ----------------------------------

A provision of $470,000 was recorded during the second quarter of 1997 for
possible future losses from the sale of foreclosed real estate.  The provision
was based upon management's ongoing analysis of foreclosed properties, primarily
the two largest properties, a parcel of land in Michigan and a shopping center
in the Bank's market area.  The majority of the provision related to the
shopping center.

A provision of $65,000 was recorded for loan losses during the three months
ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $105,000 during the three months ended June
30, 1996.  The reduction is based upon management's regular analysis of the
adequacy of the loan loss allowance.  This analysis considers current impaired
loans, overall delinquencies, loss histories and general economic information.


Non-Interest Expenses
- ---------------------

Operating expenses increased by approximately 4% during second quarter 1997 from
second quarter 1996.  Deposit premiums paid to the federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation declined $76,000 during the second quarter of 1997 from the second
quarter of 1996 as a result of the recapitalization of the Savings Association
Insurance Fund.  This reduction was offset by increases in compensation and
benefits, which increased $90,000 between second quarter 1997 and 1996 due to
general compensation increases and additional personnel in the lending area.
Other expense increased $84,000 primarily due to legal costs incurred in the
Bank's lawsuit involving the parcel of land in Michigan foreclosed upon by the
Bank.  The Bank is pursuing recovery of certain costs involved with the property
from its prior owners.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VS 1996:

Net income increased 12% during the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to
the same period of 1996.  The Company's more significant operating improvements
were noted in income from real estate development and loan fees and service
charges.  These improvements were partially offset by a $505,000 provision for
loss on foreclosed real estate.  Net interest income increased approximately 3%
between 1997 and 1996.


Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net interest income totaled $4.8 million for the first six months of 1997, an
increase of 3% from $4.7 million in the prior year.  The Company's net interest
margin increased to 3.15% from 2.98% during the same time period.  The asset
yield increased to 7.87% from 7.67% while the Company's cost of funds remained
virtually unchanged, increasing to 4.82% from 4.81%.  The increased asset yield
resulted from consumer loan portfolio growth and increased yields in the
mortgage and mortgage-backed securities portfolios.   
<PAGE>
 
The increased yield from the mortgage-backed securities portfolio was the result
of repricing adjustable rate securities and a general slowing of repayment
activity. No mortgage-backed securities were purchased during the first half of
1997 or 1996.

The increase in cost of funds is primarily the result of repricing of savings
deposits.  The cost of such deposits increased to 2.34% in 1997 as compared to
2.09% in 1996.  Management believes the Bank is positioned competitively from a
deposit rate standpoint.


Non-Interest Income
- -------------------

Income from real estate development increased to $749,000 for the fix months
ended June 30, 1997 from a minimal loss of 1996. The 1997 income is due
primarily to the sale of two commercial lots from one of the Company's
development partnerships and the sale of the Company's interest in two
development partnerships, each of which contained a single commercial lot.

Loan fees and service charges increased $120,000, or 15% during 1997 as compared
to 1996.  The improvement was primarily doe to increased service charges related
primarily to the Bank's core deposit accounts.

Net gains from the sale of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and investment
securities declined to $156,000 in the first half of 1997 as compared to
$549,000 during the first half of 1996.  The reduction in gains was the result
of lower sales volume of residential mortgage loans.


Provisions for Loan and REO Losses
- ----------------------------------

A provision of $505,000 was recorded during the first six months of 1997 for
possible future losses related to foreclosed real estate.  The majority of the
provision, $470,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 1997.  The provision
relates to the two largest properties in foreclosed property.

A loan loss provision of $140,000 was recorded during the first six months of
1997.  This compares to a provision of $220,000 recorded during the same period
of 1996.  The reduction is the result of management's ongoing analysis of the
adequacy of the Bank's loan loss allowance.


Non-Interest Expenses
- ---------------------

Operating expenses remained relatively stable, increasing by $108,000 or 2% in
the first half of 199 compared to the first half of 1996.  Deposit premiums paid
to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation declined $192,000 or 47% during the
first six months of 1997 from the first six months of 1996 as a result of the
recapitalization of the Savings Insurance Fund in late 1996.  This reduction was
offset by increases in compensation and benefits, which increased $167,000
between the first half of 1997 and 1996 due to 
<PAGE>
 
general compensation increases and additional personnel in the lending area.
Other expense increased $125,000 primarily due to legal costs incurred in the
Bank's lawsuit involving the parcel of foreclosed real estate in Michigan.



                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is generally regarded as the ability to generate sufficient cash flow
to meet all present and future funding commitments.  The Bank's primary sources
of funds, or liquidity, are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loan
principal (including mortgage-backed and certain investment securities)
operations and to a lesser extent, maturities of investment securities and the
sale of available for sale securities.

The Bank's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of
its operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.
Operating activities consist of net income adjusted for non-cash activity, and
generated or provided $867,000 in cash during first six months of 1997.  This
compares to cash of $670,000 provided during first six months of 1996.  The
primary differences between periods are increased net income and a decrease of
$205,000 in accrued interest and other assets during 1997 compared to an
increase of $428,000 during 1996.

Investing activities used $3.1 million in cash during 1997 and provided $923,000
in 1996.  Loan originations for the portfolio net of principal repayments used
$3.3 million during the first six months of 1997.  Repayments exceeded
originations by $4.5 million during the first six months of 1996.  While loan
originations have not increased significantly between 1997 and 1996, the volume
of repayments, particularly of mortgage loans, was lower in 1997 than in 1996.
Also, the Bank has increased its origination of loan products for portfolio,
both mortgage and non-mortgage.   Management continues to focus upon loan
portfolio growth.

A total of $2.5 million in available for sale securities were sold during 1997.
There were no such sales during 1996.  The 1997 sales consisted primarily of a
$2.0 million U. S. Treasury that was within 30 days of maturity.  The average
outstanding balance of the available for sale portfolio increased approximately
$3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six
months period ended June 30, 1996.

Financing activities used $5.2 million in case during 1997, primarily due to a
$7.1 million decline in deposits.  Financing activities for the first six months
of 1996 financing used $49,000 in cash.  As noted earlier, the decline in
deposits experienced during 1997 was primarily the result of a decline in
intermediate termed (30 to 36 month) certificates of deposit.  The focus of the
Bank remains the generation of core deposits.  Management believes the
certificate of deposit pricing of the Bank is reasonable and competitive.  The
Bank did not attempt to match the higher rates offered on intermediate and a
longer term certificates of deposits available in the marketplace and did
experience a decline in these certificate of deposit classes.  Deposit pricing
is reviewed continually in light of market movements and the Bank's demand for
funding sources.

The Bank had $2.0 million in borrowings at June 30, 1997.  There were no
borrowings at June 30, 1996.  Management utilizes short term borrowings, such as
the Federal Home Loan Bank open advance line, for short term financing needs.
