PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share
data)

THE COMPANY

Calumet Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was organized on
September 20, 1991, to acquire all of the capital stock issued by Calumet
Federal Savings and Loan Association of Chicago (the "Association") upon its
conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership.  On February 20, 1992,
the Company sold 3,536,250 (split adjusted) shares of its common stock to
depositors and employees of the Association.  Total proceeds from the
conversion in the amount of $33.9 million was recorded as common stock and
additional paid-in capital.  The Company used $14.8 million of the proceeds to
acquire all of the capital stock of the Association.

The Company's principal business activity is the operation of its thrift
subsidiary, and consists of attracting deposits from the public and investing
those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings,
primarily in residential mortgage loans.  The Association operates five
financial services offices -- Dolton, Lansing, Sauk Village and two in
southeastern Chicago. The Association's deposit accounts are insured to the
maximum allowable amount by the FDIC.  The Company also invests in equity
securities and in various limited partnerships which have invested in
residential development, residential and commercial rental properties, and
mortgage loan servicing.

The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest and dividend income earned
on its loan and investment securities portfolios, and its cost of funds,
consisting of interest paid on its deposits and borrowings.  The Company has
also invested in several limited partnerships at both the holding company and
subsidiary levels in order to diversify its sources of income.  Through these
limited partnerships the Company has generated income from the construction and
sale of homes, rental of apartments and offices, and the servicing of mortgage
loans.  In recent years these have become an important source of income.

The Company's operating results are also affected to a lesser extent by loan and
commitment fees, customer service charges, and by the sale of insurance, mutual
funds and annuities through its third tier subsidiaries.  Operating expenses of
the Company are primarily employee compensation and benefits, office occupancy
and equipment costs, federal deposit insurance premiums, advertising and
promotion costs, data processing and other administrative expenses.  The Company
employs a total of 130 full time equivalent employees as of December 31, 1996,
and management considers its relationship with employees excellent.

The Company's results of operations are further affected by economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates,
government policies and the actions of regulatory authorities.  The Company is
facing increasing competition for retail customer business, including deposit
accounts and loan originations.  Competition for deposit accounts comes
primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, money market funds,
mutual funds, and insurance company annuity products.  Competition for loan
products comes primarily from mortgage brokers, mortgage banking companies,
other savings institutions, and commercial banks.



                                      2
<PAGE>   3

The Company is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by
the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), as its chartering authority and primary
federal regulator, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),
which insures its deposits up to applicable limits.  Such regulation and
supervision establish a comprehensive framework of activities in which the
Company can engage and is designed primarily for the protection of the insurance
fund and depositors.  The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory
authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and
enforcement activities.  Any change in such regulation, whether by the OTS, the
FDIC or Congress, could have a material inpact on the Company and its
operations.

On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed legislation which provided for a
special assessment by the FDIC to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF).  The Company paid a $2.3 million special assessment as a result of
this legislation, which reduced net income for 1996 by $1.5 million, net of
income taxes, or approximately $0.56 per share.  Management expects that a
reduction of the FDIC assessment rate from 23 cents per $100 of deposits in
1996, to approximately 6.48 cents per $100 of deposits in 1997, will reduce the
Federal deposit insurance premium by approximately $600.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS (Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data.)

The following represents management's discussion and analysis of the results of
operations and financial condition of the Company as of the dates and for the
periods indicated.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto and other
financial data appearing elsewhere in this form 10-K.

SAFE HARBOR PROVISION OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

The statements contained in this Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 1 - Description of
Business that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements subject
to the  safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.  The Company cautions readers of this Annual Report on Form 10-K that a
number of important factors could cause the Company's actual results in 1997
and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any such
forward-looking statements.  These factors include, without limitation, the
general economic and business conditions affecting the Company's customers;
changes in interest rates; the adequacy of the Association's allowance for loan
losses; competition from, among others, commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, mutual funds, money market funds, finance companies, credit
unions, mortgage companies,and the United States Government; federal and state
legislation, regulation and supervision of the Association and its
subsidiaries; the risk of defaults on loans; and contractual, statutory and
regulatory restrictions on the Association's ability to pay dividends to the
Company.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of December 31, 1996, total assets increased $689, to $510.2 million, from
$509.5 million at December 31, 1995.  An increase of $8.3 million, or 2.2%, in
net loans receivable, to $383.8 million at December 31, 1996, from $375.5
million at December 31, 1995, and an increase of $8.2 million, or 50.7% in
investment in limited partnerships, to $24.5 million at December 31, 1996, from
$16.2 million at December 31, 1995, were funded primarily through sales and
maturities of securities, which decreased $15.4 million, or 15.3%, to $85.3
million at December 31, 1996, from $100.8 million at December 31, 1995.

Deposits decreased $1.9 million, or 0.5%, to $361.0 million at December 31,
1996, from $362.9 million at December 31, 1995, while advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Chicago increased $4.7 million, or 8.5%, to $59.9 million at
December 31, 1996, from $55.1 million at December 31, 1995.  The intensity of
competition for deposit funds in the south Chicago and suburban market, not
only from other depository institutions, but from insurance companies, mutual
funds and the stock market, has grown significantly during 1996, and shows no
sign of abatement in 1997.  The result will be increased pressure on the cost
of funds.

Stockholders' equity decreased $2.3 million, or 2.8%, to $81.8 million at
December 31, 1996, from $84.1 million at December 31, 1995, primarily as the
result of $5.4 million in earnings for 1996, reduced by $8.7 million in
Treasury stock purchases, and reduced by $184 of net unrealized losses on
securities available for sale. The exercise of options added $351 to
stockholders' equity and amortization and allocation of stock based benefits
another $775.

The Company's stock repurchase program in 1996 enhanced shareholder value by
increasing earnings per share and book value per share through the repurchase
of shares at a significant discount to book value.  The Company repurchased
310,819 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $27.95.  The closing
price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 1996, was $33.25, or 96.7%
of its book value of $34.40 per share.

LENDING

Loans receivable, net, increased by $8.3 million, or 2.2%, to $383.8 million at
December 31, 1996, from $375.5 million at December 31, 1995.  The increase in
net loans receivable came primarily from funding of loans-in-process, which
decreased $7.1 million, to $6.4 million at December 31, 1996, from $13.5
million at December 31, 1995.  Investment in commercial real estate loans
increased by $10.0 million, or 11.5%,  to $97.1 million at December 31, 1996,
from $87.1 million at December 31, 1995, while residential mortgage loans and
(primarily) residential construction loans decreased $7.6 million, or 2.6%, to
$282.6 million at December 31, 1996, from $290.2 million at December 31, 1995.
The increase in commercial real estate loans (including commercial construction
loans)  was spread over several familiar market areas, primarily $4.1 million
in Illinois, $3.0 million in New Mexico, $1.5 million in Colorado, and $1.1
million in Florida.

Loans receivable, net, increased by $14.9 million, or 4.1%, to $375.5 million
at December 31, 1995, from $360.6 million at December 31, 1994.  The Company
increased its efforts to originate loans in Illinois and neighboring states,
increasing those loans by $8.8 million during 1995.  During 1995 the Company
closed its loan origination subsidiary in Illinois and sold another loan
origination subsidiary in New Mexico when these operations became unprofitable.
The Company increased its efforts to originate loans through its subsidiary in
Idaho and continues to purchase loans through former subsidiaries in Colorado
and New Mexico.

The Company's lending activities have been concentrated primarily in
residential real property secured by first liens on such property.  At December
31, 1996, approximately 57.1% of the Company's mortgage loans are secured by
one-to-four family dwellings, 14.3% by multifamily income producing properties,
and 28.6% by commercial real estate properties and land. This compares to
57.6%, 16.3%, and 26.1%, respectively, at December 31, 1995.

During 1996 the Company invested $86.7 million in the origination and purchase
of primarily mortgage loans, which exceeded loan fees and repayments of $79.0
million by $7.7 million, with increases in the portfolio coming primarily in
commercial real estate loans.  Commercial real estate loans improve the
interest rate sensitivity of the Company's loan portfolio because they are
generally made for a shorter term than residential mortgage loans, carry a
higher yield, and reprice more frequently.  Loans secured by commercial real
estate properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk
than residential mortgage loans.  Because payments on loans secured by
commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful
operation and management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be
subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.  The
Company seeks to minimize these risks by lending primarily on existing
income-producing properties, analyzes the financial condition of the borrower
and the reliability and predictability of the net income generated by the
security property in determining whether to extend credit, and generally
requires a net operating income to debt service ratio of at least 1.20 times.

During 1995 the Company invested $83.5 million in the origination and purchase
of primarily mortgage loans, which exceeded loan fees and repayments of $68.5
million by $15.0 million, with increases in the portfolio coming primarily in
multifamily residential and (residential) construction loans.  Construction
loans improve the interest rate sensitivity of the Company's loan portfolio and
yield higher rates than those afforded by loans on existing properties.  The
higher yields correspond to higher risks attributable to the fact that loan
funds are advanced upon the security of the project under construction, which is
of uncertain value prior to its completion.  Because of the uncertainties
inherent in estimating construction costs as well as the market value of the
completed project, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total
funds required to complete a project and the related loan-to-value ratio.  As a
result, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial
funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the completed
project, rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay the loan.
The Company has attempted to address these risks through its conservative
underwriting and construction disbursement procedures, and limits its
construction lending to primarily residential properties.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio
by type of loan at the dates indicated.

At December 31, 1996, the Company's mortgage loan portfolio was geographically
diversified, with concentrations primarily in Illinois (35.0%), Colorado
(26.4%), Idaho (18.5%), and New Mexico (13.7%).  Mortgage loans in Indiana and
Michigan, all within the Company's immediate lending area, represent another
3.3% of the portfolio at December 31,1996.  At December 31, 1995, these
concentrations were Illinois (37.2%), Colorado (28.0%), Idaho (16.7%), New
Mexico (11.5%), and Indiana/Michigan (3.6%).

At December 31, 1996, approximately $114.2 million or 29.0% of the Company's
$393.5 million mortgage loan portfolio was secured by properties located in
mountain and ski resort areas, the economies of which may be more susceptible
to fluctuations in market and economic conditions.  Furthermore, $44.2 million,
or 38.7% of these loans are secured by second homes, which may be more
susceptible to delinquencies than loans secured by primary residences.  $29.9
million, or 26.2% of these loans were secured by primary residences, and $40.1
million, or 35.1% were secured by multifamily and commercial properties and
land.

At December 31, 1996, the Company's out-of-state mortgage loan portfolio
included $88.8 million in loans secured by primary residences, $66.8 million
secured by secondary residences, $26.7 million secured by multifamily, and $73.6
million secured by commercial properties and land.  The Company has not
experienced unusual losses as a result of geographic diversification or lending
in mountain and ski resort areas. The following table sets forth information
regarding the geographic distribution of the Company's mortgage loan portfolio
at December 31, 1996.

The Company regards the allowance for loan losses as a general reserve which is
available to absorb losses from all loans.  However, for purposes of complying
with disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
following table presents an allocation of the allowance for loan losses among
the various loan categories and sets forth the percentage of loans in each
category to gross loans.  The allocation of the allowance for loan losses as
shown in the table should neither be interpreted as an indication of future
charge-offs, nor as an indication that charge-offs in future periods will
necessarily occur in these amounts or in the indicated proportions.

</TABLE>


The Company invests in limited partnerships through both its holding company
and its subsidiaries.  These limited partnerships engage in single family
residential development, rental of apartment and office buildings, condominium
conversion and sale, and mortgage loan servicing.  The Company's investment in
limited partnerships increased $8.2 million, or 50.7%, to $24.5 million at
December 31, 1996, from $16.2 million at December 31, 1995.  The increased
investment came primarily from the investment in construction and sale of
single family homes located in Illinois, which increased $3.9 million, to $6.7
million at December 31, 1996, from $2.8 million at December 31, 1995, and in
mortgage loan servicing, which increased $5.1 million, to $14.3 million at
December 31, 1996, from $9.2 million at December 31, 1995.  The construction
and sale of single family homes in the suburban Chicago market was in
partnership with a nationally known builder with whom the Company has completed
several previous projects.  The increased investment in mortgage loan servicing
was through the same limited partnership in which the Company has invested
since 1993.

During 1996 the Company invested in three (two new) single family construction
projects located in Illinois. One new project will build and sell 166 single
family homes in Lake Villa, Illinois, with homes priced in the $220 to $250
range.  At December 31, 1996, 25 homes have been delivered.  Sellout of the
project is projected to be three years.  The Company invested $2.1 million in
this project.  The other new project will build and sell 132 single family homes
in Naperville, Illinois, with homes priced in the $330 to $370 range. Sellout of
the project is projected to be two years.  The Company invested $3.2 million in
this project.  The Company also invested $1.0 million in a new phase of an
existing single family project, which will add 83 homes to 820 homes in prior
phases.  At December 31, 1996, 733 of the 903 homes had been delivered.  (Also
see "Subsidiary Activities".)

During 1996 the Company purchased a $5.0 million limited partnership interest
in a mortgage servicing partnership which represents the fourth such investment
by the Company using this investment vehicle.  The servicing rights purchased
by these partnerships are considered by management to be both a source of
stable income and a hedge against the adverse effects of rising interest rates
on the Company's interest earning assets.

At December 31, 1996, the Company owned a $2.3 million limited partnership
interest in a 288 unit apartment complex in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  The
partnership was organized in 1993 to purchase the apartment complex and convert
it to condominium units for sale.  The Company originally invested  $4.3
million in the partnership.  Various problems with the conversion resulted in a
decision to resell the property instead of converting it.  Sale of the property
was held up by litigation with a potential buyer, and as of  December 31, 1996,
the property was being held for rental.  The property has a positive cash flow,
but depreciation and conversion cost write-offs have resulted in annual losses
to the Company amounting to $1.4 million over four years.  The Company's
investment balance was further reduced by partnership distributons in the
amount of $615.  The property is again being marketed for sale.

During 1995 the Company's investment in limited partnerships decreased $685, or
4.1%, to $16.2 million at December 31, 1995, from $16.9 million at December 31,
1994.  The Company withdrew from a condominium conversion limited partnership
located in Florida on which it also had a mortgage loan.  The withdrawal cost
the Company $402 and 19 units from the conversion were classified as real
estate acquired through foreclosure in the amount of $1.2 million.  As of
December 31, 1996, three units remain with a fair value of $147.  Management
expects to sell the remaining units in 1997.

During 1995 the Company invested  $1.5 million in the Algonquin single family
development project, adding 118 homes to the 702 homes already planned.  As of
December 31, 1995, 594 of the 820 homes had been delivered.  The Company also
invested $3.0 million in mortgage loan servicing through the limited
partnership arrangement in which it has made prior investments of $3.0 million
in 1994 and $2.0 million in 1993.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits at December 31, 1996, were $361.0 million, a decrease of $1.9
million, or 0.5%, from $362.9 million at December 31, 1995.  The Company
promoted various certificate of deposit programs  to maintain its market share,
which was a significant factor in the increase in its cost of funds.  (See "Net
Interest Income".)  A new cash dispensing ATM was installed at a Mobile gas
station in Hammond, Indiana, and the Company plans to offer more of these at
convenient locations for its customers.

Total deposits at December 31, 1995, were $362.9 million, an increase of $16.2
million, or 4.7%, from $346.7 million at December 31, 1994.  The Company bid
more aggressively for deposit funds during 1995 than it did during 1994, which
contributed both to the increase in deposit balances and the squeeze in net
interest margin during the year.  The Company expanded its ATM network during
1995 and added a totally free checking account to its product offerings in order
to combat intense competition for deposit balances within its market area.
Funds from deposit increases were used to repay FHLB advances and originate
loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $5.4 million, compared to
$6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The primary reason for the
decrease in earnings for 1996 was the payment of a $2.3 million FDIC special
assessment to recapitalize the SAIF pursuant to legislation signed by President
Clinton on September 30, 1996.  The reduction in earnings due to the FDIC
special assessment was partially offset by a $1.8 million change in income from
limited partnership investments, from a $125 loss in 1995 to a $1.6 million
profit for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Earnings per share decreased to
$2.05 for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to $2.06 for 1995.  The
FDIC special assessment, net of income taxes, reduced earnings per share by
$0.56 for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Management expects that a
reduction of the FDIC assessment rate from 23 cents per $100 of deposits in
1996 to approximately 6.48 cents per $100 of deposits in 1997 will reduce the
FDIC premium assessment by approximately $600.

Return on average assets (ROA) decreased to 1.08% for the year ended December
31, 1996, from 1.19% in 1995.  ROA would have been 1.37% without the FDIC
special assessment.  Return on average stockholders' equity (ROE) for 1996 was
6.56%, compared to 7.20% in 1995.  ROE would have been 8.35% without the FDIC
special assessment.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income decreased by $719, or 3.9%, to $17.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996, compared to $18.6 million for the year ended December
31, 1995.  The Company's net interest margin decreased to 3.79% of average
interest earning assets during 1996, compared to 3.94% during 1995. The average
yield on interest earning assets increased to 8.26% during 1996, from 8.22% in
1995, while the average cost of funds increased to 5.21% during 1996, from
5.01% during 1995, resulting in a decrease in the rate spread to 3.05% in 1996,
from 3.21% in 1995.  The general decrease in interest rates during the last
half of 1996 has reduced the average cost of funds more quickly than the
average yield on loans and investments, and should reduce the rate of spread
compression in 1997.

Net interest income decreased by $1.4 million, or 7.0%, to $18.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 1995, compared to $20.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994.  The Company's net interest margin decreased to 3.94% of
average interest earning assets during 1995, compared to 4.21% during 1994. The
average yield on interest earning assets increased to 8.22% during 1995, from
7.71% in 1994, while the average cost of funds increased to 5.01% during 1995,
from 4.03% during 1994, resulting in a decrease in the rate spread to 3.21% in
1995, from 3.68% in 1994.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS

The table below presents the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense
during the periods indicated.  Information is provided in each category with
respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by prior rate); (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate
(changes in rate multiplied by prior volume), and (iii) the net change.
The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been
allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to
rate.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent
to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap".  An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period
if it will mature or reprice within that time period.  The interest rate
sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest
earning assets anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or
reprice within a specific time period and the amount of interest bearing
liabilities anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or reprice
within that time period.  A gap is considered positive when the amount of
interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive
liabilities, and negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive
liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets.

During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result
in an increase in net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to
adversely affect net interest income.  During a period of falling interest
rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest
income, while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest
income.

At December 31, 1996, total interest earning assets maturing or repricing
within one year exceeded total interest bearing liabilities maturing or
repricing within one year by $11.8 million, representing a positive one year
gap ratio of 2.32%.  If interest rates continue to fall in 1997, as they have
in 1996, the positive gap would indicate decreased net interest income in 1997.

</TABLE>

The above table sets forth the amount of interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 1996, which are expected to
reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown, based on certain
assumptions.  Except as stated, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown
which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in
accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual terms of
the asset or liability.  Equity securities and mutual fund investments held as
available-for-sale are included in the "within 1 year" column; FHLB stock is
included in "over 5 years".  Fixed rate loans with short maturities are assumed
to prepay at the rate of 14%; those with longer maturities are assumed to
prepay at rates of 10% to 19%, dependent upon the interest rate of the loan.
Adjustable rate loans are assumed to prepay at 20% to 24%, dependent upon the
repricing frequency.  Multifamily and commercial real estate loans are assumed
to prepay at 12% for fixed rate and 16% for adjustable rate loans.  The Company
has assumed transaction accounts reprice at the rate of 25% in year one, 58%
(cumulatively) by year three, 76% by year five, and 94% by year 10.  Fixed
rate/maturity accounts reprice at maturity.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for losses on loans is established through a provision for loan
losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan
portfolio and the general economy.  Management's evaluation includes a review
of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, the
estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions,
historical loan loss experience, review of larger and known problem loans, and
the Company's internal credit review process.

The Company maintained its annual provision for losses on loans at $800 for the
three years ended December 31, 1996.  Average net charge-offs during this
period were $532, or 66.5% of the provision, 


                                     21
<PAGE>   22

although individual year's charge-offs were highly variable, from a high of $1.2
million in 1994, to a low of $40 in 1996.  This variability is due primarily to
the Company's commercial real estate lending, where individual loans can have a
significant impact on any one year.  Although improved loss experience in 1996
and 1995 might warrant a reduction in the provision, the increase in commercial
real estate lending in 1996 and 1995, as well as the increase in nonperforming
loans during these two years,  warrant an increase, with the net result being
management's decision to maintain the same provision for all three years.

Nonaccrual loans to net loans receivable increased to 1.65% at December 31,
1996, from 1.53% at December 31, 1995, and nonperforming assets to total assets
decreased to 1.57% at December 31, 1996, from 1.62% at December 31, 1995.  The
allowance for losses amounted to 88.89% of nonaccrual loans at December 31,
1996, increased from 84.58% at December 31, 1995.  Net charges-offs to the
allowance for losses on loans amounted to $40 for 1996.  The allowance for
losses on loans increased to 1.47% of net loans receivable at December 31,
1996, compared to 1.30%  at December 31, 1995.

Nonaccrual loans to net loans receivable increased to 1.53% at December 31,
1995, from 1.33% at December 31, 1994, and nonperforming assets to total assets
increased to 1.62% at December 31, 1995, from 1.36% at December 31, 1994.  The
increase was due primarily to an increase in delinquent loans secured by a
hotel located in Florida.  The allowance for losses amounted to 84.58% of
nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1995, decreased from 92.52% at December 31,
1994, again due to these same loans.  Net charges-offs to the allowance for
losses on loans amounted to $359 for 1995.  Charges to the allowance were due
primarily to the reduced fair value of a condominium project located in
Florida, in which the Company owns a number of foreclosed units.  The allowance
for losses on loans increased to 1.30% of net loans receivable at December 31,
1995, compared to 1.23% of total loans at December 31, 1994.

OTHER INCOME

Other income increased to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1996,
from $972 for the year ended December 31, 1995, primarily due to the $1.8
million increase in income from limited partnerships, a $175 decrease in losses
on sales of real estate acquired through foreclosure, and a $136 change from
losses to gains on sales of securities.  The significant improvement in income
from limited partnerships comes primarily from the Company's investments in
single family development projects located in Illinois, although there has also
been an improvement in the performance of its Colorado investments, as well as
consistent income from loan servicing investments.

Gains on loans sold decreased $171, to $220 for the year ended December 31,
1996, from $391 in 1995, primarily due to a decrease in loans sold in the
secondary market, and also to a more competitive fee structure.  Miscellaneous
other income included a $250 increase in losses on the operation of real estate
acquired through foreclosure, to $292 for the year ended December 31, 1996,
compared to $42 for 1995, which was offset by a $250 one-time release fee
recorded in the third quarter of 1996.  Transaction account and ATM fees
increased $87 in 1996, to $477, from $390 in 1995.

Other income decreased to $972 for the year ended December 31, 1995, from $2.6
million in 1994, primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in income from
limited partnerships, a $308 decrease in income from sales of real estate
acquired through foreclosure, and offset by an increase of $172 in gains on
loans sold generated by a mortgage brokerage subsidiary.  The $155 decrease in
miscellaneous 


                                     22
<PAGE>   23

other income included a loss of $49 to close the Company's Illinois mortgage
brokerage subsidiary, a $57 increase in the net cost of operating real estate
acquired through foreclosure, and a $51 decrease in credit enhancement fees.  An
$87 increase in ATM and transaction account fees was offset by decreases in
various other fee and commission income.

The decrease in limited partnership income came primarily from repair costs at
an apartment complex investment in Colorado, development expense write-offs on
a Florida apartment complex originally planned for condominium conversion and
now being held as an investment, and poor sales at an Illinois single family
development project.  During 1995 the Company withdrew from another limited
partnership investment in a Florida condominium conversion at a cost of $402.
The Company also recorded a $105 loss on a low-income housing project expected
to generate significant low-income housing tax credits in future years.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1996
to $12.2 million, from $9.9 million in 1995, primarily due to the $2.3 million
FDIC special assessment.  Compensation and benefit expense increased $149, to
$5.3 million in 1996, from $5.1 million in 1995, due to normal salary and wage
increases, while outside professional fees decreased $209, to $472 in 1996,
from $681 in 1995, due primarily to reductions in legal and audit fees.
Operating expenses as a percent of average assets increased to 2.44% in 1996,
but decreased to 1.98% before the special assessment,  from 1.99% in 1995.  Net
non-interest expense as a percent of average assets improved to 1.38% (before
the FDIC special assessment) for 1996, from 1.79% in 1995.  The Company's
efficiency ratio improved to 49.4% (before the FDIC special assessment) in
1996, compared to 52.9% in 1995.

Operating expenses decreased $409, to $9.9 million for the year ended December
31, 1995, from $10.3 million in 1994,  Compensation and benefit expense
decreased $320, to $5.1 million in 1995, compared to $5.5 million, due primarily
to elimination of mortgage banking operations in Illinois and New Mexico.  FDIC
insurance of accounts premiums decreased $66 due to lower deposit levels at the
end of 1994 and early in 1995. Operating expenses decreased to 1.99% of average
assets for 1995, compared to 2.06% for 1994.  The Company's efficiency ratio
declined in 1995 to 52.9%, from 47.5% in 1994, due primarily to the poor
performance of its limited partnership investments.

INCOME TAXES

During 1996 the Company accrued low income housing tax credits in the amount of
$218, and a dividends received deduction in the amount of $519, which resulted
in a net income tax benefit of $394.  This reduced the Company's effective
income tax rate from 36.0% to 31.0 % for 1996.  During 1995 the Company revised
its estimates of current and deferred income tax liabilities, which resulted in
a $367 credit to income tax expense and reduced the effective income tax rate
from 36.6% to 32.4%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal
and interest payments on loans, investment securities, including
mortgage-backed securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  While
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities
are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are
greatly influenced by general 


                                     23
<PAGE>   24

interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company's liquidity,
represented by cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and
financing activities.  These activities for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995, and 1994 are summarized in the following table.

</TABLE>

The primary investing activity of the Company is the origination and purchase of
mortgage loans for its own portfolio.  The Company originated or purchased $86.7
million, $83.5 million, and $107.4 million in loans for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.  The  large volume of originations in
1994 was due to a drop in mortgage rates which precipitated a significant amount
of refinance activity.

The Company also made significant investments in both debt and equity
securities, and in mortgage-backed securities.  The company invested $30.8
million, $32.5 million, and $29.7 million in these securities for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.  However, proceeds from
sales, repayments and maturities of $45.8 million, $39.9 million, and $63.3
million for these same periods was also used to fund increases in the loan
portfolio and investments in limited partnerships.

Financing activities during 1996 included a $4.7 million increase in Federal
Home Loan Bank advances, offset by a $1.9 million decrease in deposits and the
repurchase of 310,819 shares of Treasury stock for $8.7 million, at an average
cost of $27.95 per share.

Financing activities during 1995 included a $15.1 million increase in deposits,
offset by $15.2 million decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and the
repurchase of 124,300 shares of Treasury stock for $3.4 million, at average
cost $27.29 per share.

Financing activities during 1994 included a $62.3 million decrease in deposit
accounts which management funded with a $44.0 million increase in Federal Home
Loan Bank advances and liquidation of investment securities; refunding of the
ESOP's third party debt with a $2.3 million loan from the Company; and the
repurchase of 244,587 shares of the Company's common stock for $5.4 million, at
an average cost of $22.08 per share.

At December 31, 1996, the Company had approved mortgage loan commitments
totalling $5.7 million, $6.4 million of undisbursed loans-in-process, a $1.7
million commitment to invest in low income housing, $6.3 million in credit
enhancement arrangements (secured by securities and a letter of credit 



                                     24
<PAGE>   25

from the Federal Home Loan Bank), $19.4 million in unused lines of credit,
primarily to mortgage brokers, and $1.4 million in letters of credit to
builders.

Federal regulations require a savings institution to maintain an average daily
balance of liquid assets (cash and eligible investments) equal to at least 5%
of the average daily balance of its net withdrawable deposits and short term
borrowings.  In addition, short term liquid assets currently must constitute 1%
of the sum of net withdrawable deposits and short term borrowings.  Management
has consistently maintained liquidity levels in excess of these regulatory
requirements.  The Association's average liquidity ratios were 7.9%, 8.3%, and
11.0% during 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively.  The Association's average
short term liquidity ratios were 2.2%, 2.7%, and 4.8% for these same years.

The Association is also required to maintain specific amounts of capital
pursuant to federal regulations.  As of December 31, 1996, the Association was
in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements with tangible and core
capital of 9.9%, and risk-based capital of 16.6%, well above the requirements
of 1.5%, 3.0%, and 8.0%, respectively.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES

Calumet Residential Corporation (CRC) is a second tier subsidiary of the
Company, formed for the purpose of investing in real estate development and
sale.  CRC is currently invested as a limited partner in three Illinois single
family home developments in Algonquin, Lake Villa and Naperville Illinois.

As of December 31, 1996, the Algonquin development has completed and closed 733
of 903 single family homes, with 170 homesites remaining.  During 1996 the
project generated $891 income to CRC as a limited partner, and $2.4 million
project to date.  CRC made an additional $1.0 million investment in a new phase
of this project during 1996, and has a remaining investment of $1.8 million at
December 31, 1996.

During 1996 the Company invested in two new single family construction projects
located in Illinois. The first new project will build and sell 166 single
family homes in Lake Villa, Illinois, with homes priced in the $220 to $250
range.  At December 31, 1996, 25 homes have been delivered,  with $206 income
to CRC as a limited partner.  Sellout of the project is projected to be three
years.  The Company invested $2.1 million in this project.

The second new project will build and sell 132 single family homes in
Naperville,Illinois, with homes priced in the $330 to $370 range.  Sellout of
the project is projected to be two years.  The Company invested $3.2 million in
this project.  Construction will begin in the first quarter of 1997.

During 1996 CRC recognized $126 additional income from development projects
completed in prior years.  CRC also participates as a limited partner in an
office building rental property in a suburb of Denver, Colorado.  During 1996
the investment generated $29 income, and at December 31, 1996 had a remaining
investment balance of $224.

Calumet Savings Service Corporation (CSSC) is a second tier subsidiary of the
Company and is engaged in the sale of insurance, annuity and investment
products through its independent insurance agency and through its franchise
arrangement with Invest Financial Services.  Income attributed to this

source decreased to $7 in 1996, from $48 in 1995, primarily due to increased
commission and payroll expenses during 1996.

Calumet Mortgage Corporation of Idaho (CMCID) was formed as a subsidiary of
CSSC in January, 1995, to incorporate the existing loan origination office of
the Association located in Ketchum, Idaho.  This office originates and sells
mortgage loans, primarily in Sun Valley and the surrounding areas.  The Company
increased its portfolio of Idaho mortgage loans by $7.4 million, or 11.3%, to
$72.8 million at December 31, 1996, from $65.4 million at December 31, 1995,
primarily through this subsidiary.  CMCID originated $33.3 million in mortgage
loans in 1996, compared to $33.2 million in 1995.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Calumet Bancorp, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition
of Calumet Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.  The accompanying consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of December 31, 1995, and for the two years then
ended, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 5, 1996,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

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

In our opinion, the 1996 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Calumet
Bancorp, Inc. at December 31, 1996, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's principal business activity is the operation of its thrift
subsidiary, and consists of attracting deposits from the public and investing
those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings,
primarily in residential mortgage loans.  The Association operates five
financial services offices -- Dolton, Lansing, Sauk Village and two in
southeastern Chicago. The Association's deposit accounts are insured to the
maximum allowable amount by the FDIC.  The Company also invests in equity
securities and in various limited partnerships which have invested in
residential development, residential and commercial rental properties, and
mortgage loan servicing.

The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its loan
and investment securities portfolios, and its cost of funds, consisting of
interest paid on its deposits and borrowings. The Company's operating results
are also affected to a lesser extent by loan and commitment fees, customer
service charges, and by the sale of real estate, insurance and annuities
through its third tier subsidiaries.  Operating expenses of the Company are
primarily employee compensation and benefits, office occupancy and equipment
costs, federal deposit insurance premiums, advertising and promotion costs,
data processing and other administrative expenses.

The accounting policies of Calumet Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and subsidiaries
which significantly affect the determination of consolidated financial position
and results of operations are described below.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of
operations of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Calumet Federal
Savings and Loan Association of Chicago (the Association) and the Association's
three first-tier subsidiaries, Calumet Mortgage Corporation (of Illinois,75%
owned), wholly owned Calumet Residential Corporation, which owns 51% of Calumet
United Limited Liability Company, and wholly owned Calumet Savings Service
Corporation, which wholly owns Calumet Mortgage Corporation of Idaho and
Calumet Mortgage Corporation of New Mexico.  Calumet Mortgage Corporation of
New Mexico was dissolved August 1, 1996.  Calumet Mortgage Corporation (of
Illinois) was dissolved April 27, 1995.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with maturities
of 90 days or less at the time of purchase and include cash and
interest-bearing deposits.



                                       33

SECURITIES

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" for
securities held as of or acquired after January 1, 1994.  In accordance with
SFAS No. 115, prior period financial statements have not been restated to
reflect the change in accounting principle.  The cumulative effect as of
January 1, 1994 of adopting SFAS No. 115 increased the opening balance of
stockholders' equity by $991 (net of $603 in deferred income taxes) to reflect
the net unrealized holding gains on securities classified as available-for-sale
previously carried at the lower of cost or market.

Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost if
management has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity.  Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are designated
securities available-for-sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains
and losses reflected net of deferred income taxes in stockholders' equity.

The carrying value of securities reflects amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts over the estimated lives of the securities using the
level yield method.  Such amortization is included in interest income.
Interest and dividends are included in interest income from securities as
earned.  Realized gains and loses on all securities are computed using the
specific identification method.  Securities are written down to fair value when
a decline in fair value is not temporary.

LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans receivable are stated at outstanding unpaid principal balances net of any
deferred fees or costs on originated loans or unamortized premiums or discounts
on purchased loans.

Premiums paid and discounts received in connection with mortgage loans
purchased are deferred and amortized to income over the estimated life of the
loans using the level-yield method.  Loan origination fees and certain direct
origination costs related to processing successful loan applications are
deferred and the net amount amortized to income over the contractual life of
the loans as an adjustment to interest income using the level yield method.
Costs associated with processing unsuccessful loan applications are charged to
expense as incurred.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES ON LOANS

The Company provides for losses on loans based on evaluations of the loan
portfolio, past credit loss experience, current economic conditions, the amount
and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, and
other pertinent factors which form a basis for determining the adequacy of the
allowance for losses.  Management believes that the allowance for losses on
loans is adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio; however, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for
losses on loans.  Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions
to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at
the time of their examination.




                                     34
<PAGE>   35

The Company adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan" as amended in SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosure" as of January 1, 1995.  In accordance
with SFAS No. 114, prior period financial statements have not been restated to
reflect the change in accounting principle.  The allowance for losses related
to loans that are identified for evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 114,
generally multifamily and commercial mortgages, is based on discounted cash
flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the
collateral for certain collateral dependant loans.  The Company generally
considers one-to-four family residential mortgages to be smaller balance
homogeneous loans that are evaluated collectively for impairment.  Prior to
adopting SFAS No. 114, the allowance for losses related to these loans was
based on undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of the collateral for
collateral dependent loans.  The adoption did not have any material effect on
operating results or financial position.

INTEREST ON LOANS

Interest on loans is recorded when earned.  The Company places loans (including
loans impaired under SFAS No. 114) on nonaccrual status when they have been
delinquent 90 or more days.  When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
previously accrued but uncollected interest is fully reserved.

REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED THROUGH FORECLOSURE

Real estate which has been acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is
carried at the lower of fair value, less estimated selling costs, or the
related loan balance at the date of foreclosure.  Valuations are periodically
performed by management and the carrying value is reduced by a charge to
operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value
less estimated selling costs determined by management on valuation dates
subsequent to foreclosure.  A loan is classified as real estate-owned when the
Company has taken possession of the collateral even though foreclosure
proceedings may not have been completed.

OFFICE PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT

Office properties and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation.  Provisions for depreciation are computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Useful lives for office
buildings are 30 to 40 years and for furniture, fixtures and equipment, 3 to 10
years.

INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

The Company invests in limited partnerships engaged in real estate development
and sale and in loan servicing.  As a limited partner without a controlling
interest, the Company accounts for these investments using the equity method.
The Company periodically reviews these investments for impairment based on
review of independent appraisals, financial statements, and other relevant
operating data.








                                     35

INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
Deferred income taxes are provided for all significant items of income and
expense that are recognized in different periods for financial reporting
purposes and income tax reporting purposes.  The asset and liability approach
is used for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes.  This
approach requires companies to take into account changes in income tax rates
when valuing the deferred income tax accounts recorded on the balance sheet.
In addition, it provides that a deferred income tax liability or asset shall be
recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to "temporary
differences" and loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Temporary differences
include differences between financial statement income and tax return income
which are expected to reverse in future periods as well as differences between
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their amounts for financial reporting
purposes which are also expected to be settled in future periods.  To the
extent a deferred tax asset is established which, more likely than not, is not
expected to be realized, a valuation allowance shall be established against
such account.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off-balance
sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the
financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or
received.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
To be Disposed Of."  The Company was required to adopt this new method of
accounting for long-lived assets in 1996.  Adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not
have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

Also in 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 is effective for transactions entered into in
fiscal years that begin after December 15, 1995.  This statement defines a fair
value based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity
instruments and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for
their employee stock compensation plans.  It also allows an entity to continue
to measure compensation costs for those plans using the intrinsic value based
method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees."  Companies which decide to continue accounting for employee stock
option plans under the provisions of APB No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures
of net income and, if presented, earnings per share, as if the fair value based
method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.  The Company has
elected to adopt only the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.
Consequently, adoption of SFAS No. 123 will not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

In 1996 the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  It revises the
accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and securities, and
for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings.  SFAS No. 125, as
amended by SFAS No. 127, is effective on a prospective basis for some
transactions in 1997 and others





                                     36
<PAGE>   37

in 1998.  Adoption of SFAS No. 125 is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share of common stock has been determined by dividing net income
for each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
common stock equivalents outstanding.  Common stock equivalents assume the
exercise of stock options and the use of proceeds to purchase treasury stock at
the average market price for the period.  Shares of common stock purchased by
the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") prior to December 31,
1992, are included in shares outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings
per share.  Shares committed to be released to the ESOP during the year are
expensed during the year based on original cost.  The ESOP did not purchase any
shares subsequent to December 31, 1992, which would be subject to AICPA
Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership
Plans."

Retained earnings at December 31, 1996 includes approximately $6.7 million for
which no provision for federal income taxes has been recognized.  Tax
legislation passed in August 1996 now requires all thrift institutions to
deduct a provision for bad debts for tax purposes based on actual loss
experience and recapture the excess bad debt reserve accumulated in the tax
years after 1986.  The related amount of excess reserves which must be
recaptured is $1.5 million and will be recaptured over a six year period
beginning in 1998.

9. REGULATORY MATTERS

The Association is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal regulatory agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective
action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting
practices.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative
judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors,
and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases.  Failure to meet
various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a
direct material effect on the financial statements.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications,
including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these
terms are not used to represent overall financial condition.  If adequately
capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  If
undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and
expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.  The minimum
requirements are:

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift
Supervision categorized the association as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the
Association's category.

The Association meets the Qualified Thrift Lender test, which requires at least
65% of assets to be housing-related or other specified assets.  A failure to
meet the QTL test places limits on growth, branching, new investment, FHLB
advances and dividends.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company maintains a profit-sharing plan which covers all employees with one
year of service who are at least 21 years of age.  Contributions to the
profit-sharing plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
There were no contributions to the plan in 1996, 1995 or 1994.

The Company has a nonqualified benefit plan which provides key officers with
retirement benefits in excess of qualified plan limits imposed by federal tax
law.  Obligations under the plan are fully funded.  $100 was charged to expense
under the plan for 1994; there were no charges for 1995 or 1996.

The Company sponsors an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that covers all
employees with one year of service who are at least 21 years of age.  The ESOP
is funded by discretionary contributions made by the Association.  At December
31, 1996, there were 56,580 shares committed to be released for 1996, and
84,870 unallocated shares.  The Association recorded $565, $566 and $283 of
compensation expense during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, based on the
cost of shares released for those years.  Unearned ESOP shares are considered
to be outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share.  The average
unearned ESOP shares outstanding during 1996, 1995, and 1994 were 113,160,
171,508 and 212,175, respectively.

In connection with the conversion to stock ownership, the Company adopted a
Management Recognition and Retention Plan (MRP).  The Association contributed
$1.4 million allowing the MRP to acquire 124,950 shares of common stock of the
Company, at an average cost of $11.32 per share.  Under the MRP, 88,716 shares
of common stock were awarded to key employees in 1992.  One third of these
shares vested in 1992, 1993, and 1994 at an amortized cost of $335 each year.
The remaining 36,234 shares were awarded in 1995 and vested in 1995, 1996, and
1997.  The amortized cost of the vested shares was $136 and $137 in 1996 and
1995, respectively.  The unamortized cost of shares not yet earned (vested) is
reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

The Company has a stock option plan under the terms of which 353,625 shares of
the Company's common stock were reserved for issuance.  The options become
exercisable on a cumulative basis in equal installments over a five year period
from the date of grant.  The options expire ten years from the date of grant.

</TABLE>

Of the outstanding options at December 31, 1996, 243,536 relate to options
granted in 1992 at an exercise price of $10.00 and having a remaining life of
5.1 years before expiration.  All of these options are fully vested and
exercisable.  The remaining 31,228 options outstanding at December 31, 1996,
relate to those granted in 1995 at an exercise price of $22.38 and have a
remaining life of 8.1 years before expiration.  These options vest in equal
installments over a five year period from the date of grant and were 40% vested
at December 31, 1996.  Of these options, 12,449 were exercisable at December
31, 1996.  The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its stock option plan.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has
been recognized at the date of grant.  If the stock options granted in 1995 had
been valued under SFAS No. 123 at their fair value at the date of grant, those
options would have been valued at $10.71 per share and resulted in an annual
cost of $70 for 1995 through 1999.

Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the grant
dates for awards under the stock option plan in 1995, consistent with the
method of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's
net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the proforma
amounts in the table below.  For purposes of proforma disclosure, the estimated
fair value of the stock options awarded is amortized to expense over their
respective vesting periods.

<TABLE>

<S>                                 <C>             <C> 
Proforma net income                  $5,349          $5,915
Proforma earnings per share          $ 2.03          $ 2.04
</TABLE>

The fair value of options granted in 1995 was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:
dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility factor of the expected market price
of the Company's common stock of 0.22; risk-free interest rate of 7.98%; and
expected option term of 7 years.


                                     46
<PAGE>   47
The Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions
and are fully transferable.  In addition, option valuation models require the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price
volatility.  Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in
the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.  The
current year proforma amounts may not be indicative of future amounts if
additional stock options are granted.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company had outstanding commitments at December 31 as follows:

Residential property investment            1,693            1,967
</TABLE>

At December 31, 1996, the Company's residential property loan commitments
included approximately $1.6 million of adjustable rate mortgages and $2.5
million of fixed rate mortgages.  Interest rates on the fixed rate commitments
ranged from 7.38% to 8.50%.  The Company's residential loan commitments include
$1.1 million of commitments as a result of its mortgage banking activities.
These loans will be sold to third-party investors under existing investor
commitments to purchase.  The nonresidential property loan commitments included
$244 in a fixed rate commitment at a rate of  10.00%.

The Company has entered into two credit enhancement agreements with local
municipalities to guarantee the repayment of an aggregate of $6.3 million of
municipal revenue bonds which are secured by first mortgages on an apartment
and on a commercial office building project.  To secure its guaranty of the
bonds, the Company has agreed to pledge and deposit with the designated
trustees certain investment securities or has provided an irrevocable standby
letter of credit from the FHLB as security.  In the event of default on the
bonds, the Company's maximum liability is the amount of the credit guaranty.
Fees for providing these credit enhancements were $67, $84, and $115 for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company has committed to invest $2.0 million in low income housing projects
located in the Chicago area.  The investment is being made through a limited
partnership and will be funded over a ten year period.  At December 31, 1996,
the Company has funded $307 of the $2.0 million commitment.  The projects
qualify for the low income housing income tax credit

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business.  The resolution of these matters is not expected,
either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In connection with its conversion to stock ownership, the Company established a
liquidation account in the amount of $36.6 million for the benefit of eligible
account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Company after
the conversion.  The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent
that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits.
Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in
the liquidation account.  In the event of a complete liquidation, each account
holder would be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account
in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for
accounts then held.

The Company may not declare or pay cash dividends on or repurchase any of its
shares of common stock if the effect thereof would cause stockholders' equity
to be reduced below the balance of the liquidation account or if such
declaration would otherwise violate regulatory requirements.

During 1996, the Company repurchased 310,819 shares of its common stock at an
average cost of $27.95 per share.  During 1995, the Company repurchased 124,300
shares of its common stock at an average cost of $27.29 per share.  On October
25, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a three-for-two common
stock split in the form of a 50% common stock dividend to stockholders of
record on November 4, 1994.  A total of 930,502 new shares were issued.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments" requires
disclosures of information about the fair value of financial instruments for
which it is practicable to estimate a value, whether or not such value is
recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The carrying value and the estimated fair value of financial instruments are as
follows:

</TABLE>

Whenever possible, quoted market prices are used to develop fair values.  Where
quoted market prices are not available, market prices of similar instruments are
used for reference and to develop indices of estimated fair value.  In other
cases, it is necessary to use present values or other valuation techniques.
Fair values derived can be significantly affected by the assumptions used,
including the similarity of other instruments, discount rates, and estimates of
future cash flows.  Therefore, in many cases, the




                                     48
<PAGE>   49
estimated fair values may not be realized in an immediate sale of the
instrument.  SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all
nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Therefore, the
aggregate of the estimated fair value amounts is not intended to represent the
underlying market value of the Company.

General methods utilized to estimate fair values are summarized below:

Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts shown approximate fair value.

Securities:  Quoted market values were used to estimate fair values.  FHLB
stock is carried at its redemption value.

Loans receivable:  The fair value of fixed rate mortgage loans was estimated by
discounting projected cash flows at market interest rates.  The fair value of
adjustable rate mortgage loans was estimated by using carrying amounts for
loans repricing within one year and by discounting projected cash flows at
market interest rates for loans repricing beyond one year.  The fair value of
commercial and consumer loans was estimated by discounting projected cash flows
at market interest rates.  The carrying amounts of accrued interest on loans
approximates fair value.

Demand, NOW, and savings deposits.  All such account balances are withdrawable
on demand without penalty; therefore, for purposes of SFAS No. 107, the
carrying amount is deemed to be fair value.

Certificates of deposit (time deposits):  The fair value of time deposit
accounts which have fixed rates of interest was estimated using a discounted
cash flow calculation and current interest rates for similar accounts with the
same remaining term to maturity.  The Company does not have any material,
variable rate time deposits.  The carrying value of accrued interest on
deposits approximates fair value.

FHLB advances:  The fair value of fixed rate FHLB advances was estimated using
a discounted cash flow calculation and current interest rates for advances with
the same remaining term to maturity.  The carrying amounts of variable rate
advances and accrued interest on advances approximates fair value.

Commitments:  The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is 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 counterparties.  For fixed rate loan
commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of
interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of these commitments is
not material.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS,

I am very pleased to report that 1996 was a successful year for Calumet
Bancorp, Inc.  1996 marks our fifth year as a profitable public company and our
86th year in the financial services industry.  Shareholder value has increased
each year since our stock conversion in February, 1992, with book value also
steadily growing. Our stock price was at its highest in five years as of
December 31, 1996.

We attribute these excellent results to our sound, conservative management
philosophy which strives to maintain the highest level of safety and soundness
commensurate with making a profit.  Our primary goal is to enhance shareholder
value.  We feel we can accomplish this goal by doing what we know best - - -
managing the business of a financial institution.

YEAR-END RESULTS

Net income for 1996 was $5.4 million, down from $6.0 million in 1995.  The
primary reason for the decrease in earnings for 1996 was the payment of a $2.3
million FDIC special assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund pursuant to legislation signed by President Clinton on September
30, 1996.  The reduction in earnings due to the FDIC special assessment was
partially offset by a $1.8 million change in income from limited partnership
investments, from a $125,000 loss in 1995 to a $1.6 million profit for the year
ended December 31, 1996.

The Company's net interest margin decreased to 3.79% of average interest
earning assets in 1996, from 3.94% in 1995, primarily due to increased
competition for deposits.  If we eliminate the effect of the one-time FDIC
special assessment, return on average assets increased to 1.37% in 1996, from
1.19% in 1995, and return on average equity increased to 8.35% in 1996, from
7.20% in 1995.  The Company's efficiency ratio also improved to 49.4% in 1996,
from 52.9% in 1995.  All of these ratios indicated we are doing a better job of
investing assets, controlling expenses, and leveraging stockholders' equity.

REPURCHASE PROGRAMS

Believing that investing in ourselves is a sound strategy, during 1996 we
purchased 310,819 shares of our common stock, at an average price of $27.95 per
share.  Repurchasing shares at less than book value increases earnings per
share and book value per share for remaining shareholders.  Book value at the
close of business on December 31, 1996 was $34.40 per share.  We plan to
continue to repurchase shares in 1997.

STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE

Our stock price has steadily increased since our initial offering of stock on
February 20, 1992.  On December 31, 1996, our stock price closed at $33.25,
compared to a close of $27.75 on  December 31, 1995.

CALUMET'S ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY

The financial services industry has gone through dramatic changes since
Calumet's beginning.  What has not changed is our customer's need  for safety
and security of  their funds.   Our customers look to us for financial guidance
and assistance in attaining specific goals, whether those goals are to purchase
a home, secure a comfortable retirement, or save for their children's
education.

Calumet has been a successful home lender since 1910.  We understand market
conditions and home buyer's 

2

concerns and adapt our loan programs to fit those requirements.  This year we
brought back the First Time Home Owner Loan Program, introduced both
Pre-Qualification and Pre-Approval Programs, and have advertised our    
competitive rates aggressively in the community.

Beginning in 1997, Calumet will offer FHA loans.  We also established Calumet
Financial Corporation which will offer car, RV, and boat loans, as well as
personal and debt consolidation loans.  Calumet makes every attempt to answer
the loan needs of the community.  These new loan products are in response to
those needs.

The competition for residential loans has been intense for the past several
years.  However, responsible lending and quality service are our strengths.
Our borrowers are not strangers to us nor we to them.  We build strong
relationships with our customers, and continue that relationship through
generations.

Savings accounts, checking, certificates of deposit, and retirement plans are
the "bread and butter" of our traditional thrift.  We introduced the tiered
Money Market Edge product this year which gives our depositors the opportunity
to earn higher interest based on increased deposit levels.  Money Market
accounts give the account holder flexibility while also offering the safety and
security of insured funds.

Saving for specific goals is probably more important today than ever.  People
are taking charge of their own finances and plan short-term, mid-range, and
long-term goals.  Calumet  serves in this regard as well.  Our Savings
Counselors are ready and able to assist individuals in setting up the types of
savings, checking, and retirement plans best for their financial situation.

Convenience and customer service remain watchwords for the financial services
industry.  Having all the products in the world will not satisfy today's
customer if that customer is unable to obtain those services.  Automatic Teller
Machines, Bank-By-Phone and Bank-By-Mail are just some of the services we offer
to our customers.  We brought a cash-dispensing ATM to a Mobil gas station in
Hammond this year and we're looking into offering more of these at convenient
locations.  CALVIN, our 24-Hour Information Line, is accessible 24 hours a day,
7 days a week to receive account balance and check clearing information, access
current loan balance and payment information, and learn about current interest
rates.  This Bank-By-Phone service has proved to be very popular.

Calumet has entered cyberspace!  Calumet Bancorp's new website is
HTTP://WWW.CALUMETBANCORP.COM and is now on the Internet.  This just proves
that we'll even go out of this world to bring information, convenience, and
service to existing and potential customers. We look to be continually updating
and refining our web presence.

We also offer non-traditional financial and investment products through a
full-service brokerage firm located at our offices.  Licensed professionals
offer free financial plans and are ready to assist you in buying and selling
stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investment alternatives.  In 1997,
Investor Services, Inc. will handle this role for us.

Calumet Savings Service Corporation is our full-service insurance agency and
offers all types of insurance to cover consumer's individual and business
insurance needs.  In addition to the usual fire, commercial, general liability,
auto and homeowners coverage,          

                                                                              3

Calumet Savings Service Corporation also offers business coverage and a variety
of very popular tax-deferred insurance company annuities.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

The officers and employees of Calumet Federal have a  sense of responsibility
and dedication to the community.  They take a very active role by holding
office on the boards of organizations, and giving generously of their time and
effort to help others.

We are actively involved with various community groups promoting new and
rehabilitated housing to low and middle income areas in Chicago and the
southern suburbs.  Some of these include the Claretian Associates Neighborhood
Development Office, The Chicago Southland Regional Economic Development
Coordinating Corporation, South Chicago Neighborhood Housing Collaboration, the
South East Chicago Development Commission, and the South Action Conference-New
Cities Development.

Our officers hold positions with the Neighborhood Housing Services, South East
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center, The Dorchester Foundation, Our Savior's
Apartments developed through Lutheran Social Services of Illinois, and
Metropolitan Family Services.

Calumet is there for the community and continually looks for new opportunities
to help with resources to better improve and enrich the lives of the residents
of the community.

CALUMET'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND EMPLOYEES

Our employees are a major factor in the success of Calumet Federal.  Their hard
work and dedication has made our Company what it is.  Our employees are also
owners of the Company through their employee benefit plans, which hold over
286,000 shares of Calumet Bancorp stock.  That's over 12% of the outstanding
shares.  The prosperity of the Company is every employee's goal.

Also this year, one of the Company's longtime directors took a well-deserved
retirement.  Sylvester Lulinski left us after faithfully serving thirty-four
years as a Director of Calumet Federal.  We are indebted to his devotion and
service.  In his place, Darryl Erlandson, Vice President of Calumet Federal
Savings, was appointed to replace Mr. Lulinski.

LOOK TO THE FUTURE

It is fine to look back on the performance of the past year, but we are looking
to the future with high expectations.  We feel that we have the resources of a
strong customer base, the support of the community, and the dedication and hard
work of our officers, directors, and employees to face the challenges ahead.

At this time I would like to thank all those who have placed their confidence
and trust in Calumet Bancorp.  We will continue to work to increase shareholder
value and to keep your support.

Sincerely,


/s/ Thaddeus Walczak
