             Notes to consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


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"),  Security
         State Bank ("Security"), 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
         consolidated  financial  statements,  and notes  thereto,  for the year
         ended September 30, 1997.

2.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic  and  diluted  earnings  per  share  are  computed  under  a  new
         accounting standard,  which was effective in the quarter ended December
         31, 1997. All prior amounts have been restated to be comparable.  Basic
         earnings  per  share is based on net  income  divided  by the  weighted
         average  number  of  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted
         earnings  per share  shows the  dilutive  effect of  additional  common
         shares issuable under stock options.

         A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the earnings per
         common  share  and  earnings   per  common  share   assuming   dilution
         computations  for the three  months and six months ended March 31, 1998
         and 1997 is presented below.

3.       COMMITMENTS

         At March 31, 1998 and September 30, 1997,  the Company had  outstanding
         commitments  to originate and purchase loans totaling $24.6 million and
         $15.8 million, respectively, excluding undisbursed portions of loans in

Part I.  Financial Information
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") is a bank
holding  company  whose  primary  assets are First  Federal  Savings Bank of the
Midwest ("First Federal") and Security State Bank ("Security").  The Company was
incorporated  in 1993 as a  unitary  non-diversified  savings  and loan  holding
company and, on September  20, 1993,  acquired all of the capital stock of First
Federal in connection with First Federal's  conversion from mutual to stock form
of ownership.  On September 30, 1996, the Company became a bank holding  company
in conjunction with the acquisition of Security.

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated  financial condition of the
Company and its subsidiaries, at March 31, 1998, compared to September 30, 1997,
and the  consolidated  results of operations for the three months and six months
ended March 31,  1998,  compared to the same  periods in 1997.  This  discussion
should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  consolidated  financial
statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended September 30, 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total  assets  increased  by $1.4  million,  or .34%,  from  $404.6  million  at
September  30,  1997,  to $406.0  million at March 31,  1998.  The  increase  is
primarily  attributable  to increases in the Company's  balance of cash and cash
equivalents and securities  available for sale,  which was partially offset by a
decrease in net loans receivable.

Cash and cash equivalents  increased $1.7 million, or 13.1%, to $14.5 million at
March 31, 1998,  from $12.9 million at September 30, 1997.  The increase was due
to funds  received as a result of retail  deposit growth and funds received from
repayments of net loans receivable  during the period.  The increased balance in
cash  and cash  equivalents  is  expected  to be used to fund  outstanding  loan
commitments and to repay borrowings.

The portfolio of securities  available for sale increased $6.8 million, or 5.9%,
to $122.8 million at March 31, 1998,  from $116.0 million at September 30, 1997.
The  increase  is the  result of  securities  purchased  during the period in an
amount   greater  than   maturities   and  principal   repayments   received  on
mortgage-backed securities.

The portfolio of net loans  receivable  decreased by $7.4  million,  or 2.9%, to
$247.2 million at March 31, 1998, from $254.6 million at September 30, 1997. The
decrease in loan receivables was due to repayments  received on residential real
estate loans in an amount greater than originations and, in addition, was due to
the transfer of loans to foreclosed real estate during the period.

Deposit balances increased by $18.0 million, or 7.3%, to $264.1 million at March
31, 1998,  from $246.1  million at September  30, 1997.  The increase in deposit
balances resulted from increases in

                                        9
<PAGE>
all areas of retail deposits,  including  checking  accounts,  savings accounts,
money market accounts and certificates of deposit, which increased $3.1 million,
$392,000, $2.7 million and $11.8 million,  respectively,  between the comparable
periods. A significant portion of the deposit growth resulted from the Company's
continued emphasis on enhancement of its retail customer base in the Des Moines,
Iowa market area.

The balance in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines  decreased
by $14.9  million,  or 13.8%,  to $92.6  million at March 31,  1998 from  $107.4
million at  September  30,  1997.  The  decrease in FHLB  advances  reflects the
repayment  of  borrowings  from the proceeds of loan  repayments  and from funds
received as a result of deposit growth.

Other borrowings,  consisting of short-term  borrowings from the Federal Reserve
Bank,  were repaid in full during the period,  resulting  in a reduction of $2.9
million.  These  borrowings  had been used  primarily to fund seasonal  loans to
agricultural customers, which were generally repaid during the period.

Total shareholders'  equity decreased by $781,000,  or 1.8%, to $42.7 million at
March 31,  1998 from $43.5  million at  September  30,  1997.  The  decrease  in
shareholder's  equity was due to the purchase of treasury  stock and the payment
of cash  dividends to  shareholders  that more than offset  earnings  during the
period.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

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 until the loan has been brought  current,  or until other
circumstances  occur  that  provide  adequate  assurance  of full  repayment  of
interest and principal.

The following table sets forth the Company's loan  delinquencies by type, before
allowance  for loan  losses,  by amount and by  percentage  of type at March 31,
1998.

(1)    These  loans  were  acquired  by  the  company  in  connection  with  the
       acquisition of Security State Bank.

For the six months ended March 31, 1998,  gross interest income which would have
been recorded had the  non-accruing  loans been current in accordance with their
original terms amounted to approximately $178,000, of which none was included in
interest income.

Other  Loans of  Concern.  At March 31,  1998,  there were loans  totaling  $8.2
million  not  included in the table  above  where  known  information  about the
possible  credit problems of borrowers  caused  management to have concern as to
the ability of the  borrower to comply with the present  loan  repayment  terms.
This amount  consisted  of four  commercial  real  estate  loans  totaling  $6.2
million,  three commercial business loans totaling $999,000 and two agricultural
operating loans totaling $985,000.

Included in the $6.2 million of commercial real estate loans of concern at March
31, 1998,  was a $3.9 million  loan  secured by four  nursing  homes  located in
Minnesota, a $1.2 million loan secured

                                       11
<PAGE>
by a tax subsidized apartment complex in Mt. Pleasant,  Wisconsin and a $811,000
loan secured by an apartment complex in Madison,  Wisconsin.  At March 31, 1998,
the nursing home loan was 51 days  delinquent.  The delinquency was attributable
to internal  control  weaknesses  that caused a  disruption  in cash flows.  The
borrower  has  corrected  these  weaknesses,  is  paying  as agreed at a default
interest rate and is in the process of bringing the loan current.

The $1.2 million tax subsidized  apartment complex was delinquent 30 days due to
tight cash flow  resulting  from lower than  projected  occupancy  rates.  A new
project  management  company  has been  hired,  which is  expected  to  increase
occupancy rates and enhance cash flow. The $811,000  apartment  complex loan was
delinquent  59 days due to  decreased  occupancy  rates  resulting  from lack of
management oversight.  The borrower has focused on correcting these problems and
occupancy  rates have  subsequently  increased  to a level that will support the
property's current debt service.

Classified Assets.  Federal  regulations provide for the classification of loans
and other assets as "substandard",  "doubtful" or "loss",  based on the level of
weakness  determined  to be  inherent in the  collection  of the  principal  and
interest.  When loans are  classified  as either  substandard  or doubtful,  the
Company may  establish  general  allowances  for loan losses in an amount deemed
prudent by management.  General allowances  represent loss allowances which have
been  established  to  recognize  the  inherent  risk  associated  with  lending
activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been allocated to
particular  problem  loans.  When assets are  classified as loss, the Company is
required either to establish a specific  allowance for loan losses equal to 100%
of that portion of the loan so  classified,  or to charge-off  such amount.  The
Company's  determination as to the classification of its loans and the amount of
its valuation  allowances are subject to review by its  regulatory  authorities,
who may  require  the  establishment  of  additional  general or  specific  loss
allowances.

On the basis of management's  review of its loans and other assets, at March 31,
1998,  the  Company  had  classified  a total of $5.7  million  of its assets as
substandard, $709,000 as doubtful and $313,000 as loss.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The Company  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.

During  the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1998,  the  Company  determined  that an
agricultural  loan officer  located in a subsidiary  branch office had,  through
abuse  of  position  and   misrepresentation   to  management,   authorized  the
disbursement of funds on loans for which collateral was inadequate. In addition,
the  possibility of fraud exists related to  self-dealing by the loan officer in
the disbursement of loan proceeds to persons and entities which the loan officer
was affiliated. This mismanagement and possible fraud was discovered as a result
of the Company's routine internal audit procedures. The loan officer involved is
no longer  with the  Company.  The  Company has  contacted  authorities,  and an
investigation is in process at this time.


                                       12
<PAGE>
A thorough review was performed by the Company of the accounts in which the loan
officer was involved.  Management believes it has identified all loans for which
material  weaknesses exist and has classified these loans accordingly.  Based on
the resulting increase in classified assets, management considered it prudent to
increase  the  allowance  for loan losses  through an  additional  charge to the
provision for loan losses in the amount of $1.5 million.  Future  recoveries are
dependent on the ultimate  resolution of  weaknesses  found in the loans and any
insurance proceeds that may be received.

At March 31, 1998,  the Company has  established  an  allowance  for loan losses
totaling $3.5 million. The allowance represents approximately 78.6% of the total
non-performing assets at March 31, 1998.

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

                                                                 (In Thousands)

     Balance, March 31, 1998                                         $ 3,522
                                                                     =======

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.  For the three months ended March 31,  1998,  the Company  recorded net
income of $46,000  compared to $850,000 for the same period in 1997. For the six
months ended March 31, 1998,  net income was  $1,035,000  compared to $1,803,000
for the  same  period  in  1997.  The  decrease  for  both  periods  reflects  a
non-recurring charge to provision for loan losses in the amount of $1.5 million,
or $940,000 net of income taxes,  related to a determination  by management that
the  Company's  allowance  for loan losses  should be  increased  as a result of
mismanagement  and possible  fraud by one loan officer who is no longer with the
Company. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 1998, excluding the
non-recurring  charge to provision for loan losses,  net income was $986,000 and
$1,975,000, respectively.

Interest and Dividend  Income.  Total interest and dividend income for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 increased by $958,000,  or 13.9%,  to $7.84 million,
compared to $6.88  million  during the same  period in 1997.  For the six months
ended March 31, 1998,  interest and dividend income  increased by $1.55 million,
or 10.9%,  to $15.73  million from $14.19  million during 1997. The increase for
both periods is due to higher average balances in interest earning assets during
the 1998  periods  compared to the  previous  year as a result of the  increased
origination  and  purchase  of  loans  and  increased  purchases  of  securities
available for sale.

                                       13
<PAGE>
Interest  Expense.  Total interest  expense for the three months ended March 31,
1998 increased by $649,000, or 16.3%, to $4.62 million from $3.97 million during
the same  period in 1997.  For the six months  ended  March 31,  1998,  interest
expense  increased $1.07 million,  or 13.0%, to $9.34 million from $8.26 million
for the same period in 1997.  The increase in interest  expense for both periods
reflects a higher average  balance in deposit  accounts  during the 1998 periods
due to internal growth of the deposit  portfolio.  In addition,  the increase in
interest expense for 1998 reflects  increased balances of Federal Home Loan Bank
advances used to fund the  origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of
securities available for sale.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income  increased by $309,000,  or 9.6%, to
$3.22  million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2.91  million for
the same period in 1997.  For the six months ended March 31, 1998,  net interest
income increased $474,000,  or 8.0%, to $6.40 million from $5.93 million for the
same period in 1997. The increase in net interest income for both periods is due
to the overall  increase in net earning assets  between the  comparable  periods
that resulted from increases in average  balances held in the loan portfolio and
the portfolio of securities available for sale.

Provision for Loan Losses. For the three month and six month periods ended March
31, 1998,  the provision  for loan losses was $1.55  million and $1.58  million,
respectively.  For the comparable periods in 1997, the provision for loan losses
was $30,000 and $60,000,  respectively. The increase reflects an increase in the
level of classified assets and the related  determination by management that the
allowance for loan losses should be increased. The increase in classified assets
is primarily the result of  mismanagement  and possible fraud by an agricultural
loan officer (see "Allowance for Loan Losses").

Non-Interest  Income.  Non-interest  income  increased by $77,000,  or 20.0%, to
$460,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998,  from  $383,000 for the same
period in 1997.  For the six months  ended March 31, 1998,  non-interest  income
increased  $158,000,  or 20%, to $949,000  from  $791,000 for the same period in
1997. The increase in non-interest  income for both periods  reflects the higher
collection of fees from the  origination,  purchase and prepayment of loans,  an
increase in brokerage commissions on the sale of alternative investment products
through the Company's subsidiary,  and the gain on sales of securities available
for sale.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $118,000, or 6.5%, to $1.95
million for the three months ended March 31,  1998,  from $1.83  million for the
same  period in 1997.  For the six months  ended  March 31,  1998,  non-interest
expense increased $259,000, or 7.1%, to $3.90 million from $3.64 million for the
same period in 1997.  The  increase  in  non-interest  expense for both  periods
primarily   reflects  increased  costs  associated  with  the  operation  of  an
additional  office facility that opened for operation during 1997 in Des Moines,
Iowa.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $444,000, or 76.3%, to $138,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998,  from $582,000 for the same period in
1997.  For the six months  ended March 31,  1998,  income tax expense  decreased
$380,000,  or 31.4%, to $831,000 from $1.21 million for the comparable period in
1997.  The  decrease for both periods is due to the one time charge to provision
for loan losses  which  provided a tax benefit of $560,000  and  resulted in the
creation of a deferred tax asset in that amount.  This was  partially  offset by
increased  tax  expense  due to higher  levels of  taxable  income  between  the
comparable periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits,  borrowings,  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 and early loan repayments are greatly influenced by general
interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Federal  regulations  require First Federal to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets.  Currently,  First  Federal is required to maintain  liquid assets of at
least 4% of the average daily balance of net  withdrawable  savings deposits and
borrowings  payable on demand in one year or less during the preceding  calendar
quarter.  Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio  include  cash,  certain time
deposits,  U.S.  Government,  government  agency and  corporate  securities  and
obligations, unless otherwise pledged. First Federal has historically maintained
its  liquidity  ratio at levels in excess  of those  required.  First  Federal's
regulatory liquidity ratios at March 31, 1998 and September 30, 1997, were 17.2%
and 9.8%, respectively.

The Company 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 March 31, 1998,  the Company had
commitments to originate and purchase loans totalling $24.6 million. The Company
believes that loan repayment and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet
its foreseeable short- and long-term liquidity needs.

Regulations  require  First  Federal to maintain  minimum  amounts and ratios of
tangible capital and leverage capital to average assets,  and risk-based capital
to risk-weighted  assets.  The following table sets forth First Federal's actual
capital and required capital amounts and ratios at March 31, 1998 which, at that
date, exceeded the capital adequacy requirements:

The Year 2000 Issue

The  Company  is aware of the issues  associated  with the  programming  code in
existing  computer systems as the Year 2000 approaches.  The "Year 2000" problem
will affect  virtually  every computer  operation in some way by the rollover of
the two digit value to 00. The issue is whether  computer  systems will properly
recognize date-sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that
do not properly  recognize such  information  could  generate  erroneous data or
cause a system to fail.

The Company  recognizes the need to ensure its operations  will not be adversely
impacted by Year 2000 software  failures.  The Company has established a process
for evaluating and managing the risks  associated with this issue. An assessment
of the  Year  2000  compliance  of  the  Company's  computer  systems  has  been
completed.  No areas of material  concern  were  identified  as a result of this
assessment.  The Company is requiring its computer  systems and software vendors
to represent that their products are, or will be, Year 2000  compliant,  and has
planned a program for testing of compliance. The financial impact to the Company
and its financial  position or results of  operations  cannot be estimated as of
March 31, 1998.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk


Market Risk

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and changes in the
market value of its investments.

The Company currently focuses lending efforts toward  originating and purchasing
competitively priced  adjustable-rate loan products and fixed-rate loan products
with relatively short terms to maturity, generally 15 years or less. This allows
the Company to maintain a portfolio  of loans which will be sensitive to changes
in the level of interest rates while  providing a reasonable  spread to the cost
of liabilities used to fund the loans.

The Company's primary  objective for its investment  portfolio is to provide the
liquidity  necessary to meet loan funding  needs.  This portfolio is used in the
ongoing  management  of  changes to the  Company's  asset/liability  mix,  while
contributing  to  profitability  through  earnings flow.  The investment  policy
generally  calls for funds to be invested  among various  categories of security
types and  maturities  based upon the Company's  need for  liquidity,  desire to
achieve a proper balance between  minimizing risk while  maximizing  yield,  the
need  to  provide  collateral  for  borrowings,  and to  fulfill  the  Company's
asset/liability management goals.

The  Company's  cost of funds  responds to changes in interest  rates due to the
relatively short-term nature of its deposit portfolio. Consequently, the results
of  operations  are generally  influenced  by the levels of short-term  interest
rates.  The Company  offers a range of  maturities  on its  deposit  products at
competitive rates and monitors the maturities on an ongoing basis.

The Company  emphasizes and promotes its savings,  money market,  demand and NOW
accounts  and,  subject  to market  conditions,  certificates  of  deposit  with
maturities of six months through five years, principally from its primary market
area. The savings and NOW accounts tend to be less  susceptible to rapid changes
in interest rates.

In managing its  asset/liability  mix, the Company,  at times,  depending on the
relationship  between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and
consumer  preference,  may place somewhat greater emphasis on maximizing its net
interest margin than on strictly  matching the interest rate  sensitivity of its
assets and liabilities.  Management believes that the increased net income which
may result from an  acceptable  mismatch in the actual  maturity or repricing of
its asset and liability  portfolios  can,  during periods of declining or stable
interest rates,  provide sufficient returns to justify the increased exposure to
sudden and  unexpected  increases in interest rates which may result from such a
mismatch.  The Company  has  established  limits,  which may change from time to
time, on the level of acceptable  interest rate risk. There can be no assurance,
however,  that in the event of an adverse change in interest rates the Company's
efforts to limit interest rate risk will be successful.

Net Portfolio Value The Company uses a Net Portfolio  Value ("NPV")  approach to
the  quantification  of  interest  rate  risk.  This  approach   calculates  the
difference between the present value

                                       17
<PAGE>
of expected  cash flows from assets and the present value of expected cash flows
from  liabilities,  as well as cash  flows  from  off-balance  sheet  contracts.
Management  of the  Company's  assets and  liabilities  is performed  within the
context of the marketplace,  but also within limits  established by the Board of
Directors  on the  amount of change in NPV  which is  acceptable  given  certain
interest rate changes.

Presented below, as of March 31, 1998, is an analysis of the Company's  interest
rate risk as  measured  by changes  in NPV for an  instantaneous  and  sustained
parallel shift in the yield curve,  in 100 basis point  increments,  up and down
200 basis  points.  As  illustrated  in the  table,  the  Company's  NPV is more
sensitive to rising rate changes than  declining  rates.  This occurs  primarily
because,  as rates rise, the market value of fixed-rate  loans declines due both
to the rate increase and the related slowing of prepayments. When rates decline,
the Company  does not  experience a  significant  rise in market value for these
loans  because  borrowers  prepay at relatively  higher rates.  The value of the
Company's deposits and borrowings change in approximately the same proportion in
rising and falling rate scenarios.

</TABLE>

Certain  shortcomings  are  inherent in the method of analysis  presented in the
foregoing table.  For example,  although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods to repricing,  they may react in different degrees
to changes in market interest  rates.  Also, the interest rates on certain types
of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates,  while  interest  rates on other  types may lag behind  changes in market
rates. Additionally, certain assets such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have
features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over
the life of the  asset.  Further,  in the event of a change in  interest  rates,
prepayments and early withdrawal  levels would likely deviate from those assumed
in  calculating  the tables.  Finally,  the ability of some borrowers to service
their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate  increase.  The Company
considers all of these factors in monitoring its exposure to interest rate risk.
