                                AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to consolidated Financial Statements


1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The  accounting  policies  followed by First  Midwest  Financial,  Inc.
         ("First Midwest" or the "Company") and its  consolidated  subsidiaries,
         First  Federal  Savings  Bank of the  Midwest  ("First  Federal" or the
         "Bank"),   First  Services  Financial  Limited  and  Brookings  Service
         Corporation,  for interim  reporting are consistent with the accounting
         policies followed for annual financial reporting. All adjustments that,
         in the opinion of management,  are necessary for a fair presentation of
         the  results  for  the  periods  reported  have  been  included  in the
         accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements,  and all such
         adjustments  are  of  a  normal  recurring  nature.   The  accompanying
         financial  statements  do not  purport  to  contain  all the  necessary
         financial   disclosures   required  by  generally  accepted  accounting
         principles that might otherwise be necessary in the  circumstances  and
         should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial  statements,
         and notes thereto, for the year ended September 30, 1995.

2.       SECURITIES

         During the year ended September 30, 1995, the Company  reclassified all
         securities, including mortgage-backed securities, previously designated
         as held-to-maturity to the available-for-sale  category. All securities
         acquired subsequent to this  reclassification have also been designated
         as available-for-sale.

3.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted  average number of
         common shares and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the
         period,  which totaled  1,793,575  and  1,871,481  shares for the three
         months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  and which  totaled
         1,791,522 and 1,891,192  shares for the nine months ended June 30, 1996
         and 1995, respectively.  Unallocated shares of common stock held by the
         employee stock  ownership plan are not considered  outstanding  for the
         purpose of  calculating  earnings  per share.  The  difference  between
         primary and fully diluted earnings per share is not material.

4.       COMMITMENTS

         At June 30,  1996 and  September  30,  1995,  the Bank had  outstanding
         commitments  to originate and purchase  loans totaling $1.8 million and
         $6.8 million, respectively,  excluding undisbursed portions of loans in
         process.  It is expected  that  outstanding  loan  commitments  will be
         funded with existing liquid assets.

5.       COMPLETED ACQUISITION

         On December 29. 1995,  First Midwest  completed the acquisition of Iowa
         Bancorp, Inc. ("Iowa Bancorp"), and its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Iowa
         Savings Bank, a federal savings bank,  ("Iowa Savings")  located in Des
         Moines,  Iowa.  Upon  acquisition,  Iowa  Bancorp was merged into First
         Midwest  and Iowa  Savings  was  merged  into First  Federal.  The Iowa
         Savings  office  operates as the Iowa  Savings  Bank  Division of First
         Federal.  At the date of acquisition,  Iowa Bancorp had assets of $24.4
         million and total equity of $7.0 million.  First Midwest purchased Iowa
         Bancorp's  379,980  outstanding  shares  and 36,537  shares  subject to
         option for a cash  payment of $20.39 per share for a total net purchase
         price of approximately $8.0 million. The acquisition has been accounted
         for  as  a  purchase,  and  the  accompanying   consolidated  financial
         statements  reflect the combined results since the date of acquisition.
         The  cost of the  acquisition  will be  allocated  on the  basis of the
         estimated  fair market  value of the assets  acquired  and  liabilities
         assumed.  The fair value to be assigned to the assets and  liabilities,
         including the core value of the existing customer deposit base, has not
         yet been determined.

         The unaudited  consolidated  results of operations on a pro forma basis
         as though the  acquisition  of Iowa  Bancorp  had been  consummated  at
         October 1, 1995 are as follows:

6.       PENDING ACQUISITION

         On May 20, 1996,  the Company  entered  into a definitive  agreement to
         acquire  Central  West  Bancorporation  ("Central  West"),  the holding
         company of Security State Bank,  Stuart,  Iowa. The agreement calls for
         the Company to acquire all  outstanding  shares of Central  West for an
         estimated   aggregate   consideration   valued  at  $5.3  million,   or
         approximately  $73.00 per share,  to be paid 75% in common stock of the
         Company and 25% in cash,  subject to adjustment in accordance  with the
         terms of the agreement. The acquisition, which will be accounted for as
         a purchase, is subject to approval by the Federal Reserve Board and the
         Iowa  superintendent of banking.  The stockholders of Central West have
         approved the  acquisition.  The acquisition is expected to be completed
         by the end of 1996. At June 30, 1996,  Central West had assets of $30.0
         million,  deposits of $26.4  million and  stockholders'  equity of $2.5
         million.  Security  State Bank  operates  offices in Stuart,  Casey and
         Menlo,  Iowa,  which will continue to operate  after  completion of the
         acquisition.


7.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

         In May 1995,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (FASB) issued
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards Number 122 (SFAS No. 122)
         entitled  Accounting  for  Mortgage  Servicing  Rights.  SFAS  No.  122
         requires  mortgage  servicers that sell or securitize  loans and retain
         servicing  rights  to  allocate  the  total  cost of the  loans  to the
         servicing  rights and loans based on their fair value if practicable to
         estimate or, if not  practicable to estimate,  to the loans only.  SFAS
         No. 122 is effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after  December 15,
         1995,  or October  1, 1996 for the  Company.  The effect is  dependent,
         among other items,  upon the volume and type of loans  originated,  the
         general levels of market interest rates, and the rate of estimated loan
         prepayments.  The Company believes the implementation of this statement
         will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
           Results of Operations


                          FIRST MIDWEST FINANCIAL, INC.
                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

GENERAL

First  Midwest   Financial,   Inc.   ("First  Midwest"  or  the  "Company")  was
incorporated  under the laws of the State of Delaware  for the purpose of owning
all of the  outstanding  stock  of First  Federal  Savings  Bank of the  Midwest
("First Federal" or the "Bank") issued upon the conversion of First Federal from
mutual to stock form.  First Midwest  acquired all of the stock of First Federal
on September 20, 1993,  when the conversion was  consummated.  The activities of
First Midwest  itself have no material  impact on the results of operations on a
consolidated basis. Unless otherwise  indicated,  the activities discussed below
relate to the activities of First Federal.

The following  discussion  focuses on the  consolidated  financial  condition of
First Midwest and its subsidiaries,  at June 30, 1996, compared to September 30,
1995, and the  consolidated  results of operations for the three months and nine
months  ended  June 30,  1996,  compared  to the  same  periods  in  1995.  This
discussion   should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's   financial
statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended September 30, 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total  assets  increased  by $77.9  million,  or 29.5%,  from $264.2  million at
September  30, 1995,  to $342.1  million at June 30,  1996.  The increase is, in
part,  attributable  to the  acquisition  of Iowa Bancorp during the period (see
Note 5 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  At the date of acquisition,
Iowa Bancorp had total assets of $24.4 million,  which included loans receivable
of $16.4 million.  In addition,  the increase in total assets is attributable to
the purchase of mortgage-backed  securities,  increased cash and cash equivalent
balances, and an increase in net loan receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents  increased $13.5 million,  or 293.4%, to $18.2 million
at June 30, 1996,  from $4.6 million at September 30, 1995. The increase was due
primarily to the accumulation of liquid funds from the repayment of loans,  from
growth in customer  deposits  and from other  sources.  The funds are to be used
primarily to fund current and anticipated  lending  opportunities,  and to repay
short-term borrowings.

The portfolio of securities  available-for-sale  decreased by $514,000, or 1.1%,
to $48.3 million at June 30, 1996, from $48.8 million at September 30, 1995. The
decrease is the result of the maturity or call of  securities  during the period
in an amount somewhat in excess of purchases made during the period.

Mortgage-backed  securities  available-for-sale  increased by $16.4 million,  or
76.7%,  to $37.8  million at June 30, 1996,  from $21.4 million at September 30,
1995.  The  increase  was  due  primarily  to the  purchase  of  adjustable-rate
government  agency  issued  mortgage-backed  securities  during the  period.  In
addition,  Iowa Bancorp held $3.2 million in  mortgage-backed  securities at the
date of acquisition.
<PAGE>
The  net  portfolio  of  loans  receivable   (consisting  of  single-family  and
multi-family  residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate,  agricultural,
consumer  and other  loans)  increased  by $44.2  million,  or 24.8%,  to $222.8
million at June 30,  1996,  from  $178.6  million at  September  30,  1995.  The
increase in loan receivables  includes $16.4 million held by Iowa Bancorp at the
date of acquisition. In addition, the increase reflects increased origination of
residential,  agricultural,  commercial  business  and consumer  loans,  and the
purchase of multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans during the
period.

Deposit balances increased by $32.1 million, or 18.7%, to $203.9 million at June
30, 1996,  from $171.8  million at September 30, 1995.  The increase in deposits
includes  $15.6  million  held by Iowa  Bancorp at the date of  acquisition.  In
addition,  deposit balances increased for checking,  savings and certificates of
deposit  accounts,  which was  partially  offset by a  decline  in money  market
accounts during the period.

The balance in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines  increased
by $42.2 million, or 82.6%, to $93.3 million at June 30, 1996 from $51.1 million
at September 30, 1995. The increase  reflects  additional  borrowings during the
period used to fund the origination  and purchase of loans,  and the purchase of
mortgage-backed securities.

Total stockholders'  equity increased by $1.0 million, or 2.7%, to $39.0 million
at June 30, 1996 from $38.0  million at  September  30,  1995.  The  increase is
primarily due to growth in retained earnings during the period, which was offset
by a reduction in  unrealized  gains on  securities  available-for-sale  and was
reduced by the effect of the acquisition of treasury stock during the period.


NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Non-performing  assets at June 30,  1996  totaled  $675,000,  which  reflects  a
decrease of $197,000, or 26.0%, from the $759,000 balance at September 30, 1995.
At June 30, 1996,  non-performing  assets  included three  non-accrual  mortgage
loans with an aggregate  outstanding balance of $143,000,  and sixty non-accrual
consumer and commercial loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $419,000.
In addition,  non-performing  assets at June 30, 1996 included real estate owned
and other repossessed assets totaling $113,000.  At September 30, 1995, the Bank
held real estate owned totaling $48,000.

Generally,  when a loan  becomes  delinquent  90  days  or  more,  or  when  the
collection of principal or interest becomes doubtful, the Company will place the
loan on non-accrual  status and, as a result of this action,  previously accrued
interest income on the loan is taken out of current income. The loan will remain
on non-accrual status as long as the loan is 90 days or more delinquent.

The Bank  establishes its provision for possible loan losses,  and evaluates the
adequacy of its  allowance  for loan losses based upon a systematic  methodology
consisting  of a number  of  factors  including,  among  others,  historic  loss
experience,  the overall level of  non-performing  loans, the composition of its
loan portfolio and the general  economic  environment  within which the Bank and
its borrowers operate. As a result of this analysis, the Bank has established an
allowance  for loan losses at June 30, 1996,  of $1.81  million.  The  allowance
represents  approximately 268.3% of the total non-performing  assets at June 30,
1996.
<PAGE>
Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (FASB)  Statement No. 114,  Accounting by
Creditors for  Impairment of a Loan, as amended by Standard No. 118,  Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income  Recognition and Disclosure,  was
adopted as of October 1, 1995.  Under this  statement,  loans  considered  to be
impaired  are reduced to the present  value of expected  future cash flows or to
the fair value of collateral,  by allocating a portion of the allowance for loan
losses to such loans. If these  allocations  cause the allowance for loan losses
to require  increase,  such  increase  is reported  as  provision  for loan loss
expense.  The adoption of this statement had no impact on the provision for loan
loss expense for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996.

The following  table sets forth an analysis of the Company's  allowance for loan
losses:

                                                                  (In Thousands)

     Balance, June 30, 1996                                          $ 1,812
                                                                     =======

Based on currently available information, management believes that the allowance
for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential losses in the portfolio.  Future
additions  to the  allowance  for loan  losses may become  necessary  based upon
changing  economic  conditions,  increased  loan  balances  or  changes  in  the
underlying collateral of the loan portfolio.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased $370,000,
or 29.3%, to $892,000 from $1.26 million during the same period in 1995. For the
nine months ended June 30, 1996, net income  decreased  $417,000,  or 14.8%,  to
$2.40  million  compared to $2.81  million  during the same period in 1995.  The
decrease  in net  income  for both the three  month and nine  month  periods  is
primarily due to a gain on sale of securities  that increased  previous year net
income by approximately $632,000.

Interest Income.  Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased  by $1.34  million,  or 25.9%,  to $6.50  million,  compared  to $5.16
million during the same period in 1995. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996,
interest  income  increased by $1.90 million,  or 11.9%,  to $17.82 million from
$15.92 million during 1995. The increase during both periods is primarily due to
increased interest income from the loan portfolio, as a result of higher average
portfolio  balances during the 1996 periods  compared to 1995. In addition,  the
1996 three month period reflects interest income on the earning assets resulting
from the  acquisition of Iowa Savings Bank.  These  increases in interest income
were  partially  offset by  reductions  in interest  income from the  investment
securities  and  mortgage-backed  securities  portfolios,  both of which carried
lower average balances during the 1996 periods compared to 1995.
<PAGE>
Interest  expense.  Total  interest  expense for the three months ended June 30,
1996 increased by $838,000, or 28.9%, to $3.74 million from $2.90 million during
the same  period in 1995.  For the nine  months  ended June 30,  1996,  interest
expense  increased  by $1.24  million,  or 13.9%,  to $10.10  million from $8.87
million for the same period in 1995.  The  increase  for both  periods  reflects
increased  interest  expense on higher deposit  balances during the 1996 periods
compared to 1995,  and the higher cost of interest on those  deposits  resulting
from a general  increase in the level of interest  rates between the  comparable
periods.  The three month period also reflects  additional  interest  expense on
interest-bearing  liabilities  resulting  from the  acquisition  of Iowa Savings
Bank.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest income  increased by $498,000,  or 22.0%, to
$2.73  million for the three months ended June 30, 1996,  from $2.27 million for
the same period in 1995.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1996,  net interest
income increased $666,000,  or 9.4%, to $7.72 million from $7.06 million for the
same period in 1995. The increase in net interest income is due primarily to the
overall  increase in  interest-earning  assets between the  comparable  periods,
which  resulted,  in part,  from  the  acquisition  of Iowa  Savings  Bank  and,
additionally, as a result of an increase in the loan portfolio.

Provision  for Loan Losses.  For the three months and nine months ended June 30,
1996, the provision for loan losses was $30,000 and $90,000,  respectively.  For
the three  months and nine months ended June 30, 1995,  the  provision  for loan
losses  was  $130,000  and  $190,000,  respectively.  The  comparatively  higher
provision for loan losses  during the previous  year resulted from  management's
election to increase  the balance in  allowance  for loan losses in  conjunction
with  growth  of the loan  portfolio.  Management  believes,  based on review of
historic loan losses,  current economic conditions,  the level of non-performing
loans,  and other factors,  that the current level of provision for loan losses,
and the resulting  level in the allowance for loan losses,  reflects an adequate
reserve against potential losses from the loan portfolio.

Non-Interest  Income.  Non-interest  income decreased by $993,000,  or 73.4%, to
$360,000 for the three months  ended June 30, 1996,  from $1.35  million for the
same  period in 1995.  For the nine  months  ended June 30,  1996,  non-interest
income decreased $895,000, or 46.0%, to $1.05 million from $1.94 million for the
same period in 1995. The decrease during both periods reflects the previous year
gain on sale of securities that resulted in an approximate $1.0 million addition
to non-interest income.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Non-interest  expense increased  $240,000,  or 17.6%, to
$1.61  million for the three months ended June 30, 1996,  from $1.37 million for
the same period in 1995.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1996,  non-interest
expense  increased  $528,000,  or 12.8%, to $4.67 million from $4.14 million for
the same  period in 1995.  The  increase  in  non-interest  expense  during both
periods reflects the operation of an additional office facility,  the conversion
of data  processing  systems and the  implementation  of new  product  offerings
associated with the acquisition of the Iowa Savings Bank Division.  In addition,
the  increase  reflects   professional  and  consulting   expenses  incurred  in
conjunction with special projects during the period.

Federal  law  requires  that  the FDIC  maintain  reserves  at both the  Savings
Association  Insurance  Fund ("SAIF") and the Bank  Insurance Fund ("BIF") of at
least 1.25% of insured depositor  accounts.  The reserves are funded through the
payment of insurance premiums by the insured  institution  members of each fund.
The BIF reached this level during 1995, and the FDIC reduced insurance  premiums
applicable to BIF-insured  institutions while retaining the premiums  applicable
to SAIF  members,  such as  First  Federal,  at their  current  level of .23% of
deposits  until the SAIF reaches its required  reserve level.  Proposed  federal
legislation  provides  for a  one-time  assessment  of .65%  to .75% of  insured
deposits to be imposed on all  SAIF-insured  deposits,  including  those held by
commercial banks, and for BIF deposit  insurance  premiums to be used to pay the
Financing  Corporation  ("FICO") bond interest on a pro rata basis together with
SAIF  premiums.  If a requirement  were  implemented as of June 30, 1996 for the
Bank to pay a one-time assessment equal to .75% of insured deposits,  the amount
of such assessment would be approximately  $1.5 million,  although it would also
be anticipated that future SAIF premiums would be  significantly  lower than the
current level.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $266,000, or 30.9%, to $594,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1996,  from  $859,000 for the same period in
1995.  For the nine months  ended June 30,  1996,  income tax expense  decreased
$240,000,  or 12.9%,  to $1.62  million  from $1.86  million for the  comparable
period in 1995.  The  decrease  for the  comparable  three  month and nine month
periods is due to a reduction in the level of taxable income.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Bank's  primary  sources  of funds are  deposits,  principal  and  interest
payments  on  loans,  investments  and  mortgage-backed  securities,  and  funds
provided by  operations.  While  scheduled  payments  on loans,  mortgage-backed
securities and short-term  investments  are  relatively  predictable  sources of
funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by general interest rates,  economic
conditions and competition.

The Bank's primary  regulator,  the Office of Thrift  Supervision,  requires the
Bank to maintain a minimum  level of  investments  in specified  types of liquid
assets.  Current  regulations  require  the Bank to  maintain  an average  daily
balance in cash and  eligible  investments  in an amount equal to at least 5% of
net withdrawable  deposit accounts and short-term  borrowings.  At June 30, 1996
and  September  30,  1995,  the  Bank's  liquidity  ratios  were 6.3% and 10.8%,
respectively, which were in excess of the minimum regulatory requirements.

The Bank uses its capital resources  principally to meet ongoing  commitments to
fund  maturing  certificates  of  deposits  and loan  commitments,  to  maintain
liquidity  and to meet  operating  expenses.  At June  30,  1996,  the  Bank had
commitments  to originate and purchase loans  totalling  $1.8 million.  The Bank
considers  its  liquidity  and  capital  resources  to be  adequate  to meet its
foreseeable  short- and long-term  needs.  Savings  institutions  insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation are required by federal law to meet three
regulatory  capital  requirements.  The  following  table  sets forth the Bank's
regulatory  capital levels at June 30, 1996,  which, at that date  substantially
exceeded all regulatory requirements:

The Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act of 1991  (FDICIA)
established  five  regulatory  capital  categories  and  authorized  the banking
regulators to take prompt  corrective  action with respect to institutions in an
undercapitalized   category.  At  June  30,  1996,  the  Bank  exceeded  minimum
requirements for the well-capitalized category.
