NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The results of operations and other data for the six months ended March 31,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
entire fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Fidelity Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Fidelity Federal Savings Bank and subsidiaries (the "Bank"). All material
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and potential common stock outstanding for the periods which were
2,180,476 and 2,349,196, respectively. Diluted earnings per share of common
stock for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 has been determined by
dividing net income by 2,357,636 and 2,427,812, the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and potential common stock outstanding. Stock options
are the only potential common stock and are therefore considered in the diluted
earnings per share calculations. Potential common stock are computed using the
treasury stock method.
(3) Comprehensive Income
The Company's comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive
income comprised entirely of unrealized gains or losses on securities available
for sale, net of tax.

(4) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At March 31, 2000, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of
$9.8 million, of which $403,000 were fixed rate, with rates ranging from 8.25%
to 8.875%, and $9.4 million were adjustable rate commitments. At March 31, 2000
the Bank had a construction and development loan commitment for $3.1 million
with a floating rate based on prime plus a margin. This loan is expected to
begin draws next quarter.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's results of operations are dependent on net interest income which
is the difference between interest earned on its loan and investment
portfolios, and its cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits and
borrowed money. The Company also generates non-interest income such as
transactional fees, loan servicing fees, and fees and commissions from the
sales of insurance products and securities through its subsidiary. Operating
expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, occupancy expenses,
federal deposit insurance premiums and other general and administrative
expenses. The results of operations are also significantly affected by general
economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest
rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
The Company reported earnings for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31,
2000 of $1.1 million, compared with $994,000 for the same quarter a year ago,
an increase of 13.5%. Earnings per diluted share for the quarter and six
months ended were $0.52 and $0.96 per share in 2000, an increase from $0.42 and
$0.78 in 1999, respectively. The increase in earnings per share was the result
of increased interest and non-interest income as well as fewer shares
outstanding.
The Company also announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly
dividend of $0.12 per share, payable May 15, 2000 to shareholders of record as
of April 28, 2000.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995
This report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-
looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-
looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, and
is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions.
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe
future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally
identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "project" or similar expressions. The Company's ability to predict
results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently
uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on the
operations and future prospects of the Company and the subsidiaries include,
but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic
conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the
<PAGE> 7
U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal
Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios,
demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial
services in the Company's market area, our implementation of new technologies,
our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems and
accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties
should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue
reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information
concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that
could materially affect the Company's financial results, is included in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity management for the Bank is both a daily and long-term function of
management's strategy. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits and
borrowings, amortization and prepayment of loan principal and mortgage-backed
securities, maturities of investment securities and operations. While maturing
investments and scheduled loan repayments are relatively predictable, deposit
flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, floors and
caps on loan rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Bank
generally manages the pricing of its deposits to be competitive and increase
core deposit relationships, but has from time to time decided not to pay
deposit rates that are as high as those of its competitors and, when necessary,
to supplement deposits with FHLB advances.
Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets of 4% of the liquidity base. Savings associations have the option of
calculating their liquidity requirements either on the basis of (i) their
liquidity base at the end of the preceding quarter or (ii) the average daily
balance of their liquidity base during the preceding quarter. If necessary,
savings associations may be required to maintain liquidity in excess of the
minimum requirement to insure safe and sound operations. At March 31, 2000,
the Bank was in compliance with OTS liquidity requirements, with a liquidity
ratio of 14.52%.
The Company's cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash flows
from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows
from financing activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities,
consisting primarily of interest and dividends received less interest paid on
deposits, were $2.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000. The
Company used $6.6 million in investing activities for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2000. Loan originations, net of loan repayments received
totaling $6.8 million accounts for the period s cash usage. Net cash provided
by financing activities amounted to $5.9 million for the six months ended March
31, 2000. The Company increased its deposits $19.8 million during the six-
month period. Growth in deposits during the period enabled the Bank to reduce
borrowed funds by $5.9 million. Financing activities also used $4.8 million to
pay the first installment of Cook County real estate taxes from advance
payments for borrowers for taxes and insurance.
At March 31, 2000, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of
$9.8 million. Management anticipates that it will have sufficient funds
available to meet its current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit
scheduled to mature in one year or less from March 31, 2000 totaled $180.1
million. Consistent with historical experience, management believes that a
<PAGE> 8
significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank, and that their
maturity and repricing will not have a material adverse impact on the operating
results of the Company.
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the entity's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting purposes. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1
capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets and of
tangible capital to average assets. As of March 31, 2000, the Company and the
Bank met the capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The
Bank's Tangible Equity ratio at March 31, 2000 was 7.10%. The Tier 1 Capital
ratio was 7.10%, the Tier 1 Risk-Based ratio was 14.83%, and the Total Risk-
Based Capital ratio was 15.12%.
The most recent notification, July 1999, from the federal banking agencies
categorized the Company and the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized,
the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-
based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. There are no conditions or events since
that notification that have changed the Company's or the Bank's category.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at March 31, 2000 were $605.6 million, compared to $599.3 million
at September 30, 1999. Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses,
grew $6.8 million. The Company continues to offer various loan products, and
prices them competitively. The Company's total loan originations for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 were $42.8 million, of which 86.2% were higher
yielding specialized products.
Deposits grew 5.5% to $376.8 million at March 31, 2000, from $357.0 million at
September 30, 1999. The increased deposits allowed the Bank to pay down FHLB
advances by $7.4 million.
Book value per share on March 31, 2000 was $19.71, compared with $19.03 at
September 30, 1999. The increase was the result of the Company s earnings and
reduced number of outstanding shares, a result of the ongoing stock repurchase
plan.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
The Company is the holder of certain subordinated notes (the "Notes") issued by
Cole Taylor Financial Group, Inc. The Notes have a par value and cost basis of
$3.0 million. The Notes were acquired by the Company in 1994, when Cole Taylor
<PAGE> 9
Financial Group, Inc. was the parent company for both a consumer finance
company and a Chicago area bank. In fiscal 1997, Cole Taylor's bank subsidiary
was "spun-off" to certain Cole Taylor shareholders in exchange for stock and
certain assets. The Notes remained as obligations of the surviving company,
which is now known as Reliance Acceptance Group, Inc. ("RAG") and is the parent
company for the consumer finance company.
A detailed summary discussing the Company's write-down of the Notes and various
continuing lawsuits with respect to the Notes is included in the Company's 1999
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17,
1999. Additionally, on February 14, 2000, the Company filed a class action in
the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against LaSalle National Bank and
affiliates. The action is brought on behalf of the Company individually and as
class representative of all RAG subordinated noteholders. The complaint
alleges a cause of action arising out of LaSalle s involvement as the trustee
of the RAG subordinated notes. Discovery has not yet commenced and no trial
date has been set.
ASSET QUALITY
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had non-performing assets of $677,000. The
Bank's non-performing assets at March 31, 2000 included one single-family and
one multi-unit residence, along with one automobile. Also included in non-
performing assets were classified loans of $546,000 categorized as substandard,
consisting of six residential mortgage loans. There were no assets classified
as doubtful.
The Company s ratio of non-performing loans to net loans receivable remains
below industry standards at 0.11%. The consistently below average ratios are a
result of management's ongoing monitoring and follow-up procedures of
delinquent customers. A review of the foreclosed residential properties has
established that no specific allowances were necessary, and management does not
expect any material losses from the non-performing loans.
STOCK REPURCHASE
The Company announced its 10th stock repurchase program on October 19, 1999 for
110,000 shares and expanded it to 220,000 on January 26, 2000. Through March

AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's
average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost
of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by
dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities,
respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average
daily balances. The yields and costs include fees, which are considered
adjustments to yields.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND
MARCH 31, 1999
GENERAL. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1.1
million, an increase of $134,000 from the net income of $994,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The 13.5% increase in earnings for the quarter
was primarily a result of increased interest and non-interest income.
INTEREST INCOME. Income from loans receivable, the largest contributor to
interest income, was $9.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, up
16.5% from the prior year. The average loans outstanding increased 14.5%, or
$64.6 million to $509.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. In
addition to increased volume, the Company was able to raise the average yield
on loans 12 basis points. The increase in loan interest income was a result of
higher loan volumes combined with the increased yield. Interest income from
the investment portfolio increased $57,000, which was the result of fiscal 1999
investment maturities that changed the composition of the portfolio. Gross
interest income totaled $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000, up 13.5%, or $1.3 million from $9.5 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the quarter increased $1.2 million,
from $5.7 million the previous year to $6.9 million. Deposit growth
experienced throughout the past year is evidenced by the 8.1%, or $26.6 million
increase in average interest-bearing deposits. The growth comes mostly in the
certificates of deposit category. The increased volume along with the increase
of 36 basis points in the weighted average cost accounted for the increased
deposit interest expense of $609,000, bringing interest expense on deposits to
$4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The Company s quarter-to-
quarter comparison of average borrowings showed an increase of $31.5 million,
to $186.1 million from $154.6 million for the three month period ended March
31, 1999. The weighted average cost of the borrowings increased 46 basis
points, causing the related interest expense to increase $632,000 to $2.7
million.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses in
both the fiscal 2000 and 1999 second quarters of $15,000. The provision for
loan losses reflects management's on-going evaluation of losses on loans and
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on all pertinent
considerations, including current market conditions. As of March 31, 2000, the
cumulative allowance for loan losses was $830,000. The ratio of the allowance
for loan losses to net loans receivable was .16% at March 31, 2000.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased 83.9% to $399,000 for the
second quarter of fiscal 2000. Insurance and annuity commissions produced
$278,000, a $167,000 increase compared to the same period in 1999. The increase
was primarily a result of the expansion of the product line being offered to
customers.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense for the three months ended both
March 31, 2000 and 1999 totaled $2.5 million. Increases in the Company's data
processing expenses were offset by the decrease in salaries and related
employee benefits.
INCOME TAXES. Income taxes increased $81,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 to $683,000 compared to $602,000 for the prior year due to increased
taxable income.
<PAGE> 12
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND
MARCH 31, 1999
GENERAL. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2000 increased 18.8% to
$2.3 million compared to the six months ended March 31, 1999. This change was
primarily attributed to the 5.6% increase in net interest income after loan
loss provision combined with the $258,000 increase in non-interest income.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased 14.4% to $21.5 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $18.8 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1999. Interest income from loans receivable increased $2.7 million,
or 16.8% from $16.0 million to $18.7 million for the six months ended March 31,
2000. The average loans outstanding increased 16.5% or $71.6 million to $506.8
million from $435.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999. As the
Company grew the loan base, it also was successful in increasing the average
yield. The average balance of the investment portfolio increased slightly to
$74.9 million. Due to maturities and new purchases during fiscal 1999, the
weighted average yield increased 38 basis points to 7.00%.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense on deposits amounted to $8.3 million, an
$810,000 increase from the March31, 1999 expense of $7.5 million. Average
interest-bearing deposits increased $26.3 million, or 8.0%, to $353.9 million
for the six-month period in 2000 compared to $327.6 million in 1999. The
weighted average cost of deposits increased 12 basis points due to the shift in
the composition of the deposit base, and a decrease in transaction accounts
offset by an increase in certificates of deposits. Average borrowed funds
increased $43.6 million to $184.4 million for the six-month period ended March
31, 2000. The weighted average cost also increased. For the six-month period
ended March 31, 2000 the cost was 5.75%, up 25 basis points for the same period
one year ago.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded a $55,000 provision for loan
losses in the first six months of fiscal 2000, compared to a $40,000 provision
in 1999. The adequacy of the loan loss provision is analyzed on a monthly
basis. Management considers the changes in the type and volume of the loan
portfolio, the specific delinquent loans, the historical loss experience, and
the current economic trends, as well as loan growth and other factors deemed
appropriate when evaluating the allowance for loan losses.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased $258,000 to a record
$737,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000 from $479,000 for the same
period in 1999. Included in non-interest income are commissions from sales of
annuity and mutual fund investments that are not FDIC insured, made through
INVEST Financial Corporation. The growth noted in fee income is largely due to
the expansion of our product line to meet the needs of our customer base, and
greater productivity from our licensed sales team.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense for each of the six-month periods
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 amounted to $4.9 million. Tightly controlled
operating expenses contributed to the net increase of only $75,000. The
Company s efficiency improved for the first six months, with the ratio of
operating expenses to average assets falling to 1.66 percent from 1.83 percent
in the prior year.
INCOME TAXES. Income taxes increased $240,000 for the six-months ended March
31, 2000 to $1.4 million compared to $1.1 million for the prior year due to
increased taxable income.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
The OTS requires all regulated thrift institutions to calculate the estimated
change in the Bank's net portfolio value (NPV) assuming instantaneous, parallel
shifts in the Treasury yield curve of 100 to 300 basis points either up or down
in 100 basis point increments. The NPV is defined as the present value of
expected cash flows from existing assets less the present value of expected
cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of net expected
cash inflows from existing off-balance sheet contracts.
The OTS provides all institutions that file a CONSOLIDATED MATURITY/RATE
schedule (CMR) as a part of their quarterly Thrift Financial Report with an
interest rate sensitivity report of NPV. The OTS simulation model uses a
discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measuring
the interest rate sensitivity of NPV. The OTS model estimates the economics
value of each type of asset, liability, and off-balance sheet contract under
the assumption that the Treasury yield curve shifts instantaneously and
parallel up and down 100 to 300 basis points in 100 basis point increments.
The OTS provides thrifts the results of their interest rate sensitivity model,
which is based on information provided by the Bank, to estimate the sensitivity
of NPV.
The OTS model utilizes an option-based pricing approach to estimate the
sensitivity of mortgage loans. The most significant embedded option in these
types of assets is the prepayment option of the borrowers. The OTS model uses
various price indications and prepayment assumptions to estimate sensitivity of
mortgage loans.
In the OTS model, the value of deposit accounts appears on the asset and
liability side of the NPV analysis. In estimating the value of certificate of
deposit accounts, the liability portion of the CD is represented by the implied
value when comparing the difference between the CD face rate and available
wholesale CD rates. On the asset side of the NPV calculation, the value of the
"customer relationship" due to the rollover of retail CD deposits represents an
intangible asset in the NPV calculation.
Other deposit accounts such as transaction accounts, money market deposit
accounts, passbook accounts, and non-interest bearing accounts also are
included on the asset and liability side of the NPV calculation in the OTS
model. The accounts are valued at 100% of the respective account balances on
the liability side. On the assets side of the analysis, the value of the
"customer relationship" of the various types of deposit accounts is reflected
as a deposit intangible.
The NPV sensitivity of borrowed funds is estimated by the OTS model based on a
discounted cash flow approach. The cash flows are assumed to consist of monthly
interest payments with principal paid at maturity.
<PAGE> 14
The OTS model is based only on the Bank's balance sheet. The assets and
liabilities at the parent company level are short-term in nature, primarily
cash and equivalents, and were not considered in the analysis because they
would not have a material effect on the analysis of NPV sensitivity. The
following table sets forth the Company's most recent interest rate sensitivity
of NPV, as of December 31, 1999.

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed legislation that will allow bank
holding companies to engage in a wider range of nonbanking activities,
including greater authority to engage in securities and insurance activities.
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the Act ), a bank holding company that
elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve ),
in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines by regulation or
order is financial in nature, incidental to any such financial activity, or
complementary to any such financial activity and does not pose a substantial
risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial
system generally. The Act specifies certain activities that are deemed to be
financial in nature, including lending, exchanging, transferring, investing for
others, or safeguarding money or securities; underwriting and selling
insurance; providing financial, investment, or economic advisory services;
underwriting, dealing in or making a market in, securities; and any activity
currently permitted for bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve under
section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act. A bank holding company may
elect to be treated as a financial holding company only if all depository
institution subsidiaries of the holding company are well-capitalized, well-
managed and have at least a satisfactory rating under the Community
Reinvestment Act.
National banks are also authorized by the Act to engage, through financial
subsidiaries, in any activity that is permissible for financial holding
companies (as described above) and any activity that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in consultation with the Federal Reserve, determines is financial in
nature or incidental to any such financial activity, except (i) insurance
underwriting, (ii) real estate development or real estate investment activities
(unless otherwise
<PAGE> 15
expressly permitted by law), (iii) insurance company portfolio investments and
(iv) merchant banking. The authority of a national bank to invest in a
financial subsidiary is subject to a number of conditions, including, among
other things, requirements that the bank must be well-managed and well-
capitalized (after deducting from capital the bank s outstanding investments in
financial subsidiaries). The Act provides that state banks may invest in
financial subsidiaries (assuming they have the requisite investment authority
under applicable state law) subject to the same conditions that apply to
national banks.
The Act limits the nonbanking activities of unitary savings and loan holding
companies by generally prohibiting any savings and loan holding company from
engaging in any activity other than activities that are currently permitted for
multiple savings and loan holding companies or are permissible for financial
holding companies (as described above) (collectively "permissible activities").
The Act also generally prohibits any company from acquiring control of a
savings association or savings and loan holding company unless the acquiring
company engages solely in permissible activities. The Act creates an exemption
from the general prohibitions for unitary savings and loan holding companies in
existence, or formed pursuant to an application pending before the Office of
Thrift Supervision, on or before May 4, 1999.
Various bank regulatory agencies have begun issuing regulations as mandated by
the Act. The Federal Reserve has issued interim regulations listing the
financial activities permissible for financial holding companies and describing
the parameters under which financial holding companies may engage in securities
and merchant banking activities. In addition, all federal bank regulatory
agencies have jointly issued a proposed regulation that would implement the
privacy provisions of the Act. At this time, it is not possible to predict the
impact the Act and its implementing regulations may have on the Company.
