NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of Midwest Federal Financial Corp. and Subsidiary (the
Company) conform to generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing
practices within the thrift industry. A summary of the more significant
accounting policies follows:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Midwest Federal Financial Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiary, Baraboo Federal
Bank, FSB (the Bank), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, BF Financial,
Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. BF Financial, Inc. offers full service brokerage
services and insurance annuity contracts to its customers.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company generally considers all highly liquid debt instruments with
original maturities when purchased of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY AND AVAILABLE FOR SALE
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the
time of purchase. Debt securities are classified as held-to- maturity when the
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.
Debt securities not classified as held to maturity and marketable equity
securities are classified as available for sale. Available for sale securities
are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax,
reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Prior to fiscal
1994, investment securities and mortgage-backed and related securities held for
sale were carried at the lower of cost or market value.
The cost of debt securities classified as held to maturity or available for
sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to
maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed and related securities, over the
estimated life of the security. Such amortization is based on a level-yield
method and is included in interest income from the respective security.
Interest and dividends are included in interest and dividend income from
investments. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans held for sale generally consist of current production of certain
fixed-rate first mortgage loans. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at
the lower of cost (less principal payments received) or market value.
LOANS RECEIVABLE
Loans receivable are stated as unpaid principal balances, less the allowance
for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees. Interest income is
recognized using methods which approximate a level yield on principal amounts
outstanding. Accrual of interest is discontinued either when reasonable doubt
exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal or when a
loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to interest
or principal. At that time, any accrued but uncollected interest is reversed,
and additional income is recorded only to the extent that payments are received
and the collection of principal is reasonably assured.
LOAN FEES AND RELATED COSTS
Certain loan origination fees, commitment fees and direct loan origination
costs are being deferred and the net amounts amortized as an adjustment of the
related loan's yield. The Bank is amortizing these amounts into interest
income, using the level yield method, over the contractual life of the related
loan.
Other origination and commitment fees not required to be recognized as a yield
adjustment are included in loan fees and service charges.

AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FORECLOSED PROPERTIES
Real estate acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, is adjusted
to its fair market value upon acquisition and is subsequently carried at the
lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs related to the development and
improvement of property are capitalized; holding costs are charged to expense.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES ON LOANS AND FORECLOSED PROPERTIES
Management periodically reviews loans and foreclosed properties to determine
whether the estimated realizable value of the related asset is less than the
carrying amount. In making such determinations, consideration is given to
estimated sales price, refurbishing costs, and direct holding and selling
costs. When a loss is anticipated, an allowance for the estimated loss is
provided. In addition, general loss allowances are established in excess of
identifiable losses. This allowance is based on the Bank's own loss
experience, that of the financial services industry, and management's ongoing
assessment of the credit risk inherent in the portfolio.
OFFICE PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT
Office properties and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repair
costs are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or
otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recorded
in income. The cost of office properties and equipment is being depreciated
principally by accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets for both financial reporting and tax reporting purposes.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes have been provided under the liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by the
enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are expected
to reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the deferred tax
asset and liability.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share of common stock for the periods ending March 31, 1997 and
1996 were computed based on consolidated net income and weighted average
outstanding shares. The weighted average outstanding shares for the quarter
ending March 31, 1997 and 1996 were 1,726,924 and 1,737,852 respectively.
Prior periods have been restated to reflect a 2 for 1 stock dividend executed
in May 1996.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No. 128). SFAS 128 simplifies the standards
for computing earnings per share and makes the calculation comparable to
international standards. SFAS 128 replaces primary earnings per share with a
presentation of basic earnings per share. It also requires dual presentation
of basic and diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of basic to
diluted earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for
the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.
SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior period earnings per
share data. That is, SFAS 128 will be implemented in the fourth quarter of
1997 and restated back to January 1, 1997. If SFAS 128 had been in effect
during the first quarter of 1997, basic earnings per share would have been $.43
per share and diluted earnings per share would have been $.40 per share for the
period ended March 31, 1997.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in these financial statements for prior years have been
reclassified to conform to the March 31, 1997, presentation.

Under the provisions of FIRREA, the Savings Bank is required to meet
certain tangible, core and risk-based capital requirements. Tangible
capital generally consists of stockholders' equity minus certain intangible
assets. Core capital generally consists of stockholders' equity. The
risk-based capital requirements presently address risk related to both recorded
assets and off-balance-sheet commitments and obligations.

stayed flat due to deposit growth.
EQUITY
Equity increased only $.4 million or 2.4% due to unrealized losses on
securities available for sale. The unrealized loss is a result of a
$197,400 decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio as of March
31, 1997.
OPERATING DATA SUMMARY
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the first quarter of 1997 is up 7.1% over the first
quarter of 1996. The increase in net interest income is due to growth in
assets of 12.8% from one year ago. The percentage increase in net interest
income is less than the percentage increase in assets due to the net interest
margin shrinking by .22 basis points.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income increased by 11.5% from the quarter ending March 31, 1996,
compared to the quarter ending March 31, 1997. This increase can be attributed
to growth in deposit fees and increases in gains on sale of securities.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expenses increased by 1.0% for the quarter ending March 31, 1997,
when compared to the quarter ending March 31, 1996. The small increase is due
primarily to a reduction in FDIC insurance premium.
NET INCOME
Net income for the first quarter of 1997 is 24.5% higher than the first quarter
of 1996 and earnings per share increased from $.32 to $.40, or 25%.
