NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(UNAUDITED)

AVONDALE FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avondale
Financial Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices. Certain
information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been
condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate
to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's December 31, 1996 Annual Report.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income
by average shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. The
strike price of stock options outstanding is above the market price as of June
30, 1997 and therefore do not represent a dilutive effect. These options
therefore are not included in the earnings per share calculation. As of June 30,
1997 there are no stock equivalents outstanding.

NOTE 2 - REGULATORY CAPITAL

Pursuant to the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989 (FIRREA), savings institutions must meet three separate minimum capital-to-
assets requirements: (1) a risk-based capital requirement of 8% of risk-weighted
assets, (2) a core capital ratio of 3% core capital to adjusted total assets,
and (3) a tangible capital requirement of 1.5% tangible core capital to adjusted
total assets. The following table summarizes, as of June 30, 1997, Avondale
Federal Savings Bank's (the "Bank") capital requirements under FIRREA and its
actual capital ratios at that date:

NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Accounting Pronouncements - In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings per Share" and
Financial Accounting Standards No. 129 ("SFAS 129"), "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure". SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share. SFAS 129 establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entity's capital structure. These statements are effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Management does not expect the adoption of these statements to have a
significant impact on the financial position and results of operations of the
Company.

      In October, 1995, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation". The accounting
method for stock-based compensation provided in the statement, in particular for
stock options, differs from APB Opinion No. 25, under which most of the
accounting requirements for stock-based compensation were previously contained.
The measurement and recognition provisions of the statement were effective in
1996. An entity that continues to apply Opinion 25 is required to provide pro
forma net income and earnings per share, as if the accounting method in SFAS No.
123 had been used for stock-based compensation costs. The Company has not
adopted the measurement recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 ("SFAS 125"),
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguisment of
Liabilities" is effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996.
This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on
consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on
control. Under that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it
has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control is surrendered, and
derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The Company has adopted SFAS 125 and
the impact to the financial statement is not material.

There are no regulatory issues outstanding.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

General

     The Company was formed in June 1993 and became the holding company for
Avondale upon consummation of the Conversion to stock form on April 3, 1995. The
Company has conducted no business other than that directly related to the Bank.
The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent upon the Bank's net
interest income, which is the difference between interest income on its 
interest-earning assets such as loans and mortgage-backed or other securities,
and interest paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and
other borrowed funds. Net interest income is directly affected by the relative
amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the
interest rates earned or paid on such amounts. The Company's results of
operations are also affected by the provision for loan losses and the level of
noninterest income and expenses. Noninterest income consists primarily of
service charges and other fees. Noninterest expense includes salaries and
employee benefits, real estate owned, occupancy of premises, federal deposit
insurance premiums, data processing expenses and other operating expenses.

     The operating results of Avondale are also affected by general economic
conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies and the
policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions. Avondale's cost of
funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general
market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for
real estate loans and other types of loans, which is in turn affected by the
interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions
affecting loan demand and the availability of funds for lending activities.

Comparison of Financial Condition as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996

     General. Total assets increased $12 million or 1.96% to $607 million as of
June 30, 1997 from $595 million as of December 31, 1996. The loan portfolio grew
by $23 million or 7.22%. This increase was concentrated in the home equity lines
of credit, which grew $22 million in the first half. In May, 1997 the Company
successfully completed its second securitization and sale of approximately $82
million of Home Equity Lines of Credit. The Company retained the servicing on
the portfolio and as of June 30, 1997 has $153 million of loans sold which are
serviced by the Company. The increase in assets was offset by a $23 million
decrease in securities portfolio. Avondale continues to focus on the origination
of equity lines of credit. The Company has implemented a credit scoring model,
whereby the equity lines of credit are priced according to the credit worthiness
of the customer, as well as the loan to value percentage. The Company originated
4,421 home equity line of credit loans with lines of $137 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. As a result of the growth and potential
opportunities in the Bank's home equity lending business, and in recognition of
the amount of time it will take for the private label credit card services
("PLCS") business to achieve acceptable levels of profitability, the Bank has
decided to refocus its resources entirely to home equity and other types of
mortgage-related lending and exit the PLCS business. There have been no new
credit card clients added to the portfolio during the past quarter and all PLCS
marketing activities have ceased. We anticipate that it will take several
quarters to discontinue the operation. The Bank will not record a restructuring
charge as a result of this decision, as the employees and systems will be
redeployed elsewhere in the organization. The Bank continues to explore the
possible sale of all or parts of the credit card portfolio, but has nothing to
report at this time.

     Total liabilities increased $17 million from December 31, 1996 to June 30,
1997, to $552 million. Total deposits increased $51 million and borrowings
decreased $39 million over this period of time. Total stockholders' equity
decreased by $5.5 million from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997, to $55.4
million. The decrease is attributed to current year operating loss of $5.3
million and stock repurchase of $550,000. The securities available-for-sale
portfolio had a net unrealized gain of $271,000 as of June 30, 1997.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
and 1996.

General. Net income was $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
compared to $937,000 net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Second
quarter earnings benefited from a pretax gain of $4.1 million from the sale of
loans connected with the Bank's second home equity loan securitization. The
Company also showed significant improvement in net interest income, the result
of increasing loan portfolio, and significant increase in noninterest income,
primarily due to loan servicing fees. Earnings per share for the quarter was
$.65 compared with $.26 for the quarter a year ago. The Company's return on
average assets was 1.44% for the period ended June 30, 1997 and 0.64% for the
three months ended June 30, 1996.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Avondale had a net loss of $5.3 million
or -$1.51 per share compared to net income of $1.9 million or $.49 per share
during the first half of 1996. The loss was a result of a $13 million provision
for loan losses during the first quarter. The provision was due to a higher than
expected delinquency rates in one of the Bank's private label credit card
programs. Outside of the special loan loss provision, the Company made
significant progress in net interest income, the result of increasing loan
portfolio, and significant increase in noninterest income. The Company's return
on average assets was -1.69% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 0.63%
for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $2.7 million to $7.5 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 from $4.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. The increase is a result of continued loan growth, the average
loan balance increasing $132 million from a year-ago period while investment and
mortgage-backed securities declined $89 million. Average interest earning assets
were $610 million for the current period compared to $567 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. The net interest margin for the quarter was 4.93%
compared to 3.41% for the same period ended June 30, 1996.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net interest income increased $4.5
million to $14.3 million from $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
1996. The average loan balance increasing $130 million from a year-ago period
while investment and mortgage-backed securities declined $109 million. Average
interest earning assets were $599 million for the current period compared to
$579 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The net interest margin for
the first half was 4.79% compared to 3.39% for the same period ended June 30,
1996.

year-ago. The average mortgage-backed securities outstanding decreased $78
million to $191 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $269 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Yields on mortgage-backed securities
decreased .30% over the same period, to 6.50%.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $1.2 million to $7.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $6.2 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996. This increase was attributable to both an average increase in
interest-bearing liabilities of $57 million, from $505 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 to $562 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997, as well as an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities
of 0.32%, from 4.92% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to 5.24% for the
same period ended June 30, 1997. The average balance on deposits Increased $51
million, to $367 million, as the Bank aggressively pursues certificates of
deposits products, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits increased from
4.51% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to 5.00% for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. During the same period of time, non-interest-bearing deposits
decreased from an average of $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996
to $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Interest on Federal
Home Loan Bank advances decreased $20,000 from the three months ended June 30,
1996 compared to the same period ended June 30, 1997. This decrease was
attributable to a decrease in average Federal Home Loan Bank advances
outstanding of $3.3 million, from $94.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 1996 to $90.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease
in Average balance outstanding was partially offset by an increase in the
average cost of borrowing of 0.12%, from 5.72% for the three months ended June
30, 1996 to 5.84% for the same period ended June 30, 1997. Interest on
securities sold under agreement to repurchase and other borrowings increased by
$155,000, from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $1.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The average balance of
securities sold under agreement to repurchase and other borrowings increased $10
million from the three months ended June 30, 1996 to the same period ended June
30, 1997. The average rate on these borrowings was 5.51% and 5.57% for the
quarters ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively.

For the Six months ended June 30, 1997 interest expense was $14.2 million, a
$1.5 million increase over the same period in the prior year. This increase was
attributable to both an average increase in interest-bearing liabilities of $35
million, from $515 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $550
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997; as well as an increase in the
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 0.25%, from 4.93% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 to 5.18% for the same period ended June 30, 1997. The
average balance on deposits increased $32 million, to $355 million, and the cost
of interest-bearing deposits increased from 4.55% for the six months ended June
30, 1996 to 4.90% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. During the same time
period, non-interest-bearing deposits decreased from an average of $6.3 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. Interest on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $94,000
from the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period ended June
30, 1997. This increase was attributable to an increase average cost of
borrowing of 0.22%, from 5.62% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to 5.84%
for the same period ended June 30, 1997. Interest on securities sold under
agreement to repurchase and other borrowings increased by $62,000 to $2.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The average balance of
securities sold under agreement to repurchase and other borrowings increased
$2.6 million from the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period
ended June 30, 1997. The average rate on these borrowings was 5.64% and 5.72%
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively.

Provision for Loan Loss.  The Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at
level which is considered by management to be adequate to absorb possible loan
losses on existing loans, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans
and prior loan loss experience. The evaluation takes into consideration such
factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall
portfolio quality, review of specific problems, the value of related collateral,
the regulators' stringent view of adequate reserve levels for the thrift
industry and the current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's
ability to pay. Loans are evaluated and categorized into risk categories. For
each risk category, the methodology assigns a percentage of principal amount of
the category that should be maintained as a general valuation allowance. To the
extent that the amount of loans categorized into the respective risk categories
requires the general valuation allowance to be increased, the provision for loan
losses will be impacted accordingly. Therefore, in the event Avondale is
required to increase its allowance for loan losses, operating results could be
adversely affected. The allowance for loan losses is established through a
provision for loan losses charged to expense.

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

A reconciliation of the activity in Avondale's allowance for possible loan
losses is as follows:

     The provision for loan losses increased $3.1 million to $3.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $475,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 the provision was $18 million
compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year. The increase was a
result of
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
a $13 million provision for loan loss during the first quarter. This provision
is the outgrowth of higher than expected delinquency rate and the resulting
potential for subsequent loan losses in one of the Bank's private label credit
card programs and the continued growth in the overall loan portfolio. The
private label credit card portfolio has a balance of $50 million, which
represents approximately 14.29% of the Bank's loans outstanding. The allowance
for loan losses was $18.6 million as of June 30, 1997, $7.2 million as of
December 31, 1996 and $4.3 million as of June 30, 1996.

</TABLE>

Non-Performing Assets:  Non-performing loans at June 30, 1997 were $17.8
million, increasing from $5.3 million at December 31, 1996 and $2.6 million at
June 30, 1996. The increase is due to the Bank's private label credit card
portfolio which had non-performing balances at June 30, 1997 of $12.7 million,
compared to $651,000 at December 31, 1996. The Bank took a special $13 million
provision in the first quarter to cover estimated probable losses for this
portfolio. The delinquency on the rest of the Bank's loan portfolio is in line
with expectations and is priced accordingly. With the exception of the one
private label credit card portfolio, the non-performing loans were 1.70% of
total loans at June 30, 1997 compared to 1.43% at December 31, 1996 and .99% at
June 30, 1996. The sixty-day and thirty-day delinquency as of June 30, 1997 were
1.12% and 3.03%, compared to 1.40% and 5.00% as of December 31, 1996.

The non-performing loans on the private label portfolio were 25.4% of the 
portfolio as of June 30, 1997. The sixty-day and thirty-day delinquency for this
portfolio as of June 30, 1997 was 6.2% and 7.1%, respectively. Management 
believes the special loan loss provision expensed in the first quarter and the 
regular accrual attributable to this program is adequate.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter totaled $5.5 million, of which $4.8 
million was related to the private label credit card portfolio. For the first 
half of 1997, net charge-offs were $6.7 million, of which $5.1 million was 
related to the private credit card portfolio.

Non-Interest Income:  Non-interest income was $6.1 million for the quarter, an 
increase of $5.3 million from the year-ago quarter. This increase was primarily 
due to securitization gains of $4.1 million and loan servicing and late fees, 
which increased by $1.6 million over the year-ago period, to $1.7 million. 
Security gains were $64,000, down for $500,000 a year-ago reflecting the decline
in the size of the investment portfolio, to provide funding for the increasing
loan business.

The securitization gains of $4.1 million represents the difference between the 
present value of estimated future cash flows less the over the life recourse 
reserve and other securitization related expenses. The realizability of the 
expected future cash flows is evaluated periodically, and any impairment is 
recognized in income immediately. Securitization income along with fees paid to 
the Company to service the securitized loan pools,

                                      16
<PAGE>
 

are reported in the accompanying consolidated statement of income as a component
of loan servicing income. This amount totaled $511,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997.

For the first half non-interest income was $7.7 million, an increase of $6
million from the first six months of 1996. The increase was due to the
securitization gain of $4.1 million and loan servicing income, which increased
$2.8 million to $2.9 million. Security gains were $75,000, down from $1.1
million in the year-ago period.

Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expenses were $6.6 million, an increase of
$2.9 million from the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to
additional personnel, technology and occupancy costs needed to support the
growth in the Bank's lending activity. The Company had 214 full-time equivalent
employees at June 30, 1997, up from 129 at June 30, 1996. The occupancy expenses
increased $362,000, to $602,000 for the quarter due to the relocation of the
loan operations center to a larger office space. Legal and professional expenses
increased $403,000, to $559,000 due to outsourcing of certain loan collection
services. Data processing expenses also increased $352,000 to $720,000 for the
quarter, reflecting the higher number of loans outstanding.

For the first half non-interest expenses were $12.3 million compared to $7.5 
million in the same period last year. Compensation expenses increased $1.3 
million to $5.1 million. Occupancy expenses increased $633,000, to $1.1 million 
for the first half of 1997. Data processing expenses increased $882,000 to $1.5 
million. Legal and professional expenses increased $491,000 to $762,000 in the 
first half of 1997. All these increases were to support the Bank's increasing 
lending business. The Bank's operating efficiency ratio was 55.88% compared with
65.32% in the year-ago period.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $1.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997. The provision was $544,000 in the same
period ended June 30, 1996. The respective income tax expense represented
effective tax rates of 35.14% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and 36.73% for
the three months ended June 30, 1996.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the provision for income taxes was a 
credit of $3 million due to the loss in the first quarter. The provision was $1 
million in the same period ended June 30, 1996. The respective income tax 
expense represented effective tax rates of 36.40% for the quarter ended June 30,
1997 and 34.70% for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
