PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
GENERAL
Security Capital Corporation (the "Company") was formed for the purpose of
owning all of the outstanding stock of Security Bank S.S.B. (the "Bank") and
its subsidiaries issued in the mutual to stock conversion of the Bank (the
"Conversion"). The Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of the
Bank on December 30, 1993. The Bank is a Wisconsin state-chartered stock
savings bank headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
On March 15, 1997, the Company announced it had signed a definitive merger
agreement with Marshall & Ilsley Corporation providing for the merger of the
Company and subsidiaries with and into Marshall & Ilsley Corporation. On July
10, 1997, the Company announced that it had received shareholder and the
required regulatory approvals. Subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions, the Companies anticipate the merger will be completed on or about
October 1, 1997.
The Company is a community-oriented financial institution which emphasizes
retail financial services to individuals and businesses within its market
areas. The Company's principal business is attracting retail deposits from the
general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from
other operations, primarily to originate residential mortgage loans and
consumer loans within its primary market areas and to invest in various
mortgage-backed and related securities and investment securities. The
principal lending is on one-to-four family, owner-occupied homes, including
adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans. To a lesser extent, the Company also
originates home equity loans and lines of credit, multi-family, other consumer,
commercial and commercial real estate loans. The Company invests a portion of
its assets in mortgage-backed and related securities, and invests in investment
securities, including corporate notes, U.S. Treasury and federal agency
securities, mutual funds, municipal bonds and short-term liquid assets and
marketable securities. The Company's revenues are derived principally from
interest on its mortgage loan portfolio, interest and dividends on its
investment securities, interest on mortgage-backed and related securities, and
non-interest income (including loan servicing fees and service charges, gain on
sales of loans held-for-sale and insurance and annuity commissions). The
Company's principal sources of funds are received from borrowings, deposits,
repayments on loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, and proceeds
from maturing securities.
MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
The Company offers a variety of deposit products, services and mortgage
loan offerings primarily within the metropolitan Milwaukee area, the Fox River
Valley area and northern Wisconsin. The Company's main office is located at
184 West Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Company's primary market
area consists of the Wisconsin counties of Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine and
Brown. In addition, subsidiaries of the Company have mortgage banking
operations with offices located in Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Minnesota and Kansas.
The Company has significant competition in both its mortgage and consumer
lending business, as well as in attracting deposits. The Company's competition
for loans is principally from thrift institutions, savings banks, mortgage
banking companies, insurance companies and commercial banks. Its most direct
competition for deposits historically has come from thrifts, savings banks,
commercial banks and credit unions. The Company also has faced additional
competition for funds from a number of institutions, including the availability
of short-term money market funds and other corporate and government securities
funds offered by other financial service companies, such as brokerage firms and
insurance companies.

LENDING ACTIVITIES
GENERAL -- As part of its strategy to manage interest rate risk, the
Company originates primarily ARM loans for its own loan portfolio and longer
term fixed-rate mortgage loans, most of which are sold immediately into the
secondary market. The largest component of its $2.83 billion gross loan
portfolio at June 30, 1997, was one-to-four family mortgage loans. At June 30,
1997, one-to-four family mortgage loans totaled $1.37 billion or 48.42% of
gross loans, of which $1.05 billion or 76.95% were ARMS. The next two largest
loan categories at June 30, 1997 were multi-family and home equity loans, which
represented 21.46% and 18.73%, respectively, of gross loans and leases.
COMPOSITION OF LOAN PORTFOLIO -- The following table sets forth the
composition of the Company's gross loan portfolio in dollar amounts and as a
percentage of the respective portfolios at the dates indicated.

</TABLE>
ONE-TO-FOUR FAMILY MORTGAGE LENDING -- The Company's primary lending
activity has been the origination of first mortgage loans secured by
one-to-four family, owner-occupied primary residences within the Company's
primary lending area. To a lesser degree, the Company originates loans secured
by non-owner occupied one-to-four family residences.
The Company offers conventional fixed-rate mortgage loans and ARM loans
with maturity dates which typically range from 15 to 30 years. Residential
mortgage loans generally are underwritten to Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and other
agency guidelines. ARM loans are held in the Company's portfolio and
fixed-rate loans typically are held-for-sale, servicing retained, securitized
typically through FNMA, FHLMC or Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA") on a non-recourse basis, and sold in the secondary market. However,
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, approximately $94.7 million of the
Company's total fixed-rate one-to-four family mortgage loans originated of
$262.5 million were originated with the intention to hold to maturity. The
Company believes that, in the current rate environment, the yield on fixed-rate
loans and the favorable differential between fixed-rate and ARM loan rates
makes the retention of some fixed-rate loans desirable. The Company also
originates loans in excess of the FNMA/FHLMC maximum loan amount ("jumbo
loans"). Fixed-rate jumbo loans generally are sold servicing released without
recourse to secondary market purchasers of such loans. ARM jumbo loans are
underwritten in accordance with the Company's underwriting guidelines and are
retained in the Company's loan portfolio.
In addition to conventional fixed-rate and ARM loans, the Company
originates mortgages utilizing various government programs, including programs
offered by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") and the Federal Veterans
Administration ("VA"). The Company also participates in state-sponsored
mortgage programs.
The retention of ARM loans in the Company's loan portfolio, as opposed to
fixed-rate residential loans, helps reduce the Company's exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates. However, the ARM loans originated prior to
June 30, 1994, typically are tied to cost of funds indicies, have a 1% annual
cap on interest rate increases and have a lag effect on interest adjustments.
In addition, ARM loans generally pose credit risks different from the risks
inherent in fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the
underlying payments from the borrowers rise, thereby increasing the potential
for default. In order to minimize the risk associated with ARM loans,
borrowers under the Company's one year ARM program generally are qualified at
no less than one percent above the initial rate. Due to consumer preference
for fixed-rate loans, ARM loans are more difficult to originate in low interest
rate environments. ARM loans amounted to 52.3%, 36.2% and 54.8% of the
Company's total originations of one-to-four family mortgage loans during the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
6
<PAGE> 8
MULTI-FAMILY LENDING -- The Company offers both ARM and fixed-rate
multi-family loans with terms up to 30 years. A significant portion of the
portfolio is indexed to various "Cost of Funds Indices" which has a lag effect
on adjustments. Multi-family loans generally are underwritten in amounts of up
to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the underlying
property. Appraisals on properties which secure multi-family loans are
performed by an appraiser designated by the Company at the time the application
is submitted. All appraisals on multi-family loans are reviewed by Company
management. In underwriting such loans, the Company primarily considers the
net operating income generated by the real estate to support the debt service,
the financial resources and income level of the borrower and the Company's
experience with the borrower. To help assess the ability of a property to
carry debt service, debt service coverage ratios are calculated. Debt service
coverage ratios are a means of estimating risk based upon the relationship of
debt service to an estimate of a property's stabilized net operating income.
Desired debt service coverage ratios will vary depending upon the size of the
loan, and the type and condition of the property. The Company obtains joint
and several personal guarantees from the individual borrowers, except in cases
where there is substantial borrower equity in the underlying collateral. In
addition, the Company's underwriting procedures require verification of the
borrower's credit history, an analysis of the borrower's income, personal
financial statements and banking relationships, a review of the borrower's
property management experience and references, and a review of the property,
including cash flow projections and historical operating results. The Company
seeks to ensure that the property securing the loans will generate sufficient
cash flow to adequately cover operating expenses and debt service payments.
Loans secured by multi-family real estate generally involve a greater
degree of credit risk than one-to-four family loans and carry larger loan
balances. The increased credit risk is the result of several factors,
including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and
borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income producing
properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these
types of loans. Total exposure of the Company in multi-family loans outside
the Company's immediate lending area is $73.0 million on 46 properties.
HOME EQUITY AND CONSUMER LENDING -- The Company has been expanding its
consumer lending portfolio because adjustable-rate products can be offered,
higher yields can be obtained, there is strong consumer demand for such
products, and the Company historically has experienced relatively low
delinquency and few losses on such products. In addition, management believes
that offering consumer loan products helps to expand the Company's customer
base and creates stronger ties to its existing customer base.
The Company's focus in consumer lending has been the origination of home
equity loans. At June 30, 1997, 95.8% of the consumer loan portfolio was in
home equity loans. The Company originates both variable-rate and fixed-rate
home equity loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. Of the home
equity loan portfolio, 43.4% carried a variable-rate at June 30, 1997. The
variable-rate loans are tied to the prime rate, adjust monthly and range from 0
to 390 basis points over the prime rate, depending upon the loan-to-value
ratio. The Company also offers fixed-rate home equity loans, with terms
generally in the five-to-fifteen-year range. Both variable-rate and fixed-rate
home equity loans are held in the Company's portfolio and are serviced by the
Company. In addition to home equity loans, the consumer loan portfolio
includes automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, boat loans and other
common consumer loans.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING -- At June 30, 1997, the Company's
commercial real estate loan portfolio amounted to $138.7 million or 4.9% of the
Company's gross loan portfolio. The commercial real estate loans in the
Company's portfolio consist of fixed-rate, ARM and balloon loans originated at
prevailing market rates, and participation interests in commercial loans
originated by other parties. This portfolio generally consists of mortgage
loans secured by office buildings, warehouses, industrial buildings and retail
centers. The Company currently originates ARM loans secured by commercial real
estate at above the rate on U.S. Treasury securities for comparable maturities.
These loans typically do not exceed 75% of the lesser of the purchase price or
an appraisal by an appraiser designated by the Company. Balloon loans
generally are amortized on a 15-to-25 year basis with a typical loan term of
three to five years. The Company generally obtains joint and several personal
guarantees from the principals involved.
Loans secured by commercial real estate properties involve a greater
degree of risk than residential mortgage loans. Payments on loans secured by
commercial real estate are often susceptible to adverse conditions in the real
estate market or the economy. The Company seeks to minimize these risks by
originating commercial real estate loans principally in its market area where
it has the ability to more closely monitor and anticipate adverse conditions.
CONSTRUCTION LENDING -- The Company offers owner-occupied one-to-four
family residential and multi-family constructions loans. Construction loans
are underwritten in conjunction with the regular first mortgage loan and
terminate upon completion of the project. At June 30, 1997, the Company had
one-to-four family residential and multi-family construction loans in its loan
portfolio aggregating $62.7 million, or 2.21% of the Company's gross loan
portfolio. Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction of the
residence progresses. Title company disbursement agents are utilized to clear
all lien waivers and insure the Company's first lien position. These loans are
structured to allow borrowers
7
<PAGE> 9
to pay interest only on the funds advanced during the construction period, which
is generally six months. In most cases, the Company structures residential and
multi-family construction loans to automatically convert to regular first
mortgage loans upon completion of the project and certification of occupancy has
been obtained. The Company also provides a limited amount of construction loans
secured by multi-family projects and land development loans.
COMMERCIAL LOANS -- At June 30, 1997, the Company's commercial loan
portfolio consisted of loans totaling $64.1 million or 2.3% of the Company's
total gross loan portfolio. The commercial loans consist of loans to
businesses for equipment purchases and working capital lines of credit, and
typically are secured. The market area for commercial loans is primarily the
Milwaukee Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA"). Approximately 65% of the
commercial loans have an interest rate adjusted on a daily basis to the
prevailing prime rate. Term loans are amortized over a three- to five-year
term and lines of credit are reviewed annually. The largest commercial loan at
June 30, 1997 had an outstanding balance of $3.2 million. The largest
concentration of commercial loans to one borrower totaled $8.7 million,
including the largest commercial loan noted above. All payments under
commercial loans were current at June 30, 1997.
LEASES -- At June 30, 1997, the Company's lease portfolio consisted of
commercial leases totaling $25.5 million in net investment or 0.9% of the
Company's gross loan and lease portfolio. Commercial leases are originated and
held in Security Financial & Leasing Services, Inc. ("SFLS"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The commercial leases consist of operating and
finance leases of equipment to businesses nationwide. One-third of the
portfolio are leases to investment grade companies. All types of equipment are
leased.
MORTGAGE BANKING OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
GENERAL -- In connection with the Company's basic business of originating
mortgage and other loans, both the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Security Financial and Mortgage Corporation ("SFMC"), are engaged in the
business of mortgage banking, including originating and selling one-to-four
family mortgage loans and servicing or selling servicing rights to such
mortgage loans. On a consolidated basis, the Company recognized gains on the
sale of loans held-for-sale of $1.0 million, $1.5 million and $0.9 million for
the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In addition, on a
consolidated basis, the Company recognized income from loan servicing fees and
service charges, which includes loan servicing fees, prepayment fees, late
charges and other miscellaneous fees of $7.3 million, $7.7 million and $7.2
million for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
MORTGAGE LOAN ORIGINATION -- Both fixed-rate mortgage loans and ARM loans
are originated by the Company with the mix impacted by the level of market
interest rates, customer preference and loan products offered by competitors.
Of the $550.0 million in one-to-four family first mortgage loan originations,
$262.5 million were fixed-rate loans and $287.5 million were ARM loans. All
loan applications, regardless of source, must be underwritten in accordance
with the underwriting criteria established by the Company, including
loan-to-value ratios, borrower income qualifications, investor requirements,
private mortgage insurance for loans in excess of 85% of the fair market value
of the underlying property, and property appraisal requirements. The Company
primarily originates one-to-four family residential mortgage loans in
conformity with FNMA, FHLMC and other agency guidelines, including FHA and VA,
to facilitate the sale of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in the
secondary mortgage market. The Company also originates loans in amounts and
terms that do not meet all such guidelines. Non-conforming conventional loans
are underwritten to the standards of the specific investor with which the
Company has entered into a commitment to sell.
The Company also originates loans under the FHA, VA and various state,
county and city mortgage revenue bond programs. All loans made under these
programs are underwritten to and must meet all requirements of the appropriate
state, county, city, or federal agency. Most of the loans originated under
governmental agency programs are sold either to secondary market purchasers of
such loans or, directly to the sponsor agency, on a non-recourse basis.
Loan commitments are issued as soon as possible upon completion of the
underwriting process, and mortgage loans are closed as soon as title clearance
and other required procedures have been completed. The Company had outstanding
mortgage commitments of $69.7 million and $78.3 million as of June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
SALE OF MORTGAGE LOANS -- The Company typically holds for sale, servicing
retained, the fixed-rate conventional mortgage loans originated and securitized
pools of such loans on a non-recourse basis, to the secondary market. As such,
the Company does not assume liability to investors in the event of borrower
delinquency or foreclosure. The Company, in order to manage its interest rate
risk, primarily sells fixed-rate 15- and 30-year mortgage loans, and retains
ARM loans for its loan portfolio. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997,
however, approximately $94.7 million, or 36.1% of the Company's total
fixed-rate one-to-four family mortgage loans originated of $262.5 million were
originated with the intention to hold to maturity. The Company believes that,
in the current rate environment, the yield on fixed-rate loans and the favorable
differential between fixed-rate and ARM loan rates makes the retention of some
fixed-rate loans desirable. All of the Company's FHA and VA loans are pooled
and sold in the secondary market by the Bank and SFMC. Mortgage loans
held-for-sale by the Company are carried at the lower of cost or market, and
losses, if any, are recorded on the financial
8
<PAGE> 10
statements of the Company, irrespective of when the asset is ultimately sold.
Gains, if any, are recognized at the time the loan is sold and funded. Gains or
losses on sale result primarily from two factors. First, the Company may make a
loan to a borrower at a price which is higher or lower than the Company would
receive because of changes in interest rates. Second, gains and losses result
from the actual number of loan closings being greater or less than anticipated.
For the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, mortgage loans sold totaled $207.1
million and $375.6 million, with gains of $1.0 million and $1.5 million,
respectively.
The Company is subject to interest rate risk on fixed-rate loans from the
point in time that the rate is locked or a commitment is made to the borrower,
until the sale and delivery of the related security. The Company utilizes
various financial techniques to mitigate this element of interest rate risk,
including option strategies and forward sales commitments. Interest rates,
fees and loan terms offered typically are priced to the yields prevailing in
the 90-day forward mortgage-backed securities market. The Company also
minimizes interest rate risk on commitments made to borrowers primarily by a
combination of mandatory forward cash sales in the secondary mortgage markets
and options on such.
In connection with the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market, the
Company makes representations and warranties customary in the industry relating
to, among other things, compliance with laws, regulations and program
standards, and accuracy of information. In the event of a breach of such
representations and warranties, the Company may be required to repurchase such
loans from the secondary market investors. Typically, any flaws with respect
to these repurchased loans are corrected. To date, the Company has repurchased
a nominal number of loans. However, there can be no assurance that in the
future the Company may not be required to repurchase a greater number of loans.
LOAN SERVICING -- Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan
payments, accounting for principal and interest, administering escrow funds for
payment of mortgage-related expenses such as taxes and insurance, advancing
funds to cover delinquent tax payments, making inspections as required of the
mortgage premises, contacting delinquent mortgagors, and supervising
foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults. A
servicer's obligation to provide mortgage loan servicing and its right to
collect fees are set forth in a servicing contract. Servicing rights represent
a contractual right to collect fees for servicing a loan and not a beneficial
ownership in the underlying mortgage loans.
The Company generally retains servicing on the majority of mortgage loans
sold in the secondary market. As compensation for providing servicing, the
Company receives loan servicing fees, which represent the difference between
the interest rate charged the borrower and the coupon rate at which such loans
are securitized. Servicing fees are collected out of monthly mortgage
payments. Other sources of loan servicing revenue include late charges,
miscellaneous fees (such as loan assumption fees) and administrative fees
derived from various optional credit life and disability insurance programs.
Servicing portfolios are subject to reduction by normal amortization, by
prepayment or by foreclosure of delinquent loans.
The origination of mortgage loans and the related sales of the loans with
servicing retained provides the Company with an additional source of
non-interest income through loan servicing fees. Mortgage loans serviced for
others totaled $1.5 billion at both June 30, 1997 and 1996. Total loan
servicing fee and service charges for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995 were $7.3 million, $7.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively.
The degree of credit risk of a servicing portfolio is largely dependent
upon the extent to which the servicing portfolio is non-recourse or recourse.
In non-recourse servicing, the credit risk to the servicer is the cost of
temporary advances of funds. All loans sold to FNMA and FHLMC with servicing
retained are on a non-recourse basis. In connection with servicing
mortgage-backed securities, the Company is required to advance certain
principal and interest payments to investors prior to collection of such
payments from specific mortgagors. Because the payment of principal and
interest is guaranteed by various agencies, the advances made generally are
recovered in the event of default or foreclosure. The amount of such advances
recovered is dependent upon the terms of the specific servicing agreement and
the obligation of the Company thereunder. Foreclosure expense and Real Estate
Owned ("REO") losses relative to loan servicing activities for investors and
agencies for the years ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 totaled approximately
$9,400 and $18,900, respectively. In addition, reserves are provided for
advances which are deemed uncollectible.
SALE OF LOAN SERVICING RIGHTS -- Loan servicing rights are sold from time
to time depending upon profit levels, cash requirements and the market price
for servicing rights. Among the factors that influence the value of servicing
rights are servicing fee rates, anticipated prepayment rates, average loan
balances, servicing costs, escrow balances, delinquency and foreclosure
experience, required rates of return, supply and demand relationships and new
regulations. Additionally, the decision to sell servicing rights and the
timing of such sales may impact revenues and earnings on a quarterly basis.
During the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, servicing rights on loans
with aggregate principal balances of $54.7 million, $138.2 million and $55.6
million, respectively, were sold, and net gains on the sale of servicing rights
totaled $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
9
<PAGE> 11
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has liability under
representations and warranties made to purchasers of servicing rights. The
Company may be required to repurchase the related mortgage loans in the event
of a breach of such representations or warranties. Losses from any breaches of
representations and warranties have been nominal. In connection with the
purchase of servicing rights, the Company also has liability to the investor as
a successor to the third party originators' representations and warranties in
the event of breaches of such representations and warranties. In such case,
the Company may be required to repurchase such mortgage loans with any
subsequent loss on the mortgage loan being borne by the Company. Losses from
breaches of representations and warranties have not been material to operating
results.
PURCHASE OF LOANS -- The Company has, from time to time, purchased loans
originated by other lenders which are then securitized and sold in the
secondary market. Loans purchased by the Bank have consisted primarily of ARM
loans and loans originated in areas outside of Wisconsin, in an attempt to keep
the Company's loan portfolio relatively interest rate sensitive and to provide
for geographical diversification. Occasionally, loans are purchased to
complete minimum loan pool sizes or, in limited situations, to accommodate
agency requests. The carrying value of loans purchased by the Company at June
30, 1997 was $333.7 million. The purchased loan portfolio at June 30, 1997
consisted of $17.9 million of participation interests and $315.8 million of
whole loans which are serviced either by the Company or others.
LOAN APPROVAL
The Company's underwriters are authorized by the Executive Committee of
the Board of Directors to approve loans and leases up to a specified limit.
All loan applications exceeding this limit require additional loan approval
from a senior loan officer and the Executive Committee (which is comprised of
representatives of both senior management and the Board of Directors),
depending on the loan size as compared to a graduated approval scale. The
Company's Board of Directors reviews all loans made on a monthly basis. All
loan decisions made are subject to ratification by the Board of Directors at
their monthly meeting.
DELINQUENCIES, NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND CLASSIFIED ASSETS
DELINQUENT LOANS -- When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a
loan, the Company contacts the borrower. In the case of residential and
commercial real estate loans, a late notice is sent 15 days after the due date.
If the delinquency is not cured by the 30th day, contact with the borrower is
made by telephone. Additional written and verbal contacts are made with the
borrower between 30 and 90 days after the due date. In the event a loan
payment is past due for more than 90 days, the Company will review the loan
status, the condition of the property and circumstances of the borrower. Based
upon the results of its review, the Company may negotiate and accept a
repayment program with the borrower, accept a voluntary deed in lieu of
foreclosure or, when deemed necessary, initiate foreclosure proceedings. If
foreclosed on, real property is sold at a public sale and the Company may bid
on the property to protect its interest. A decision as to whether and when to
initiate foreclosure proceedings is based on such factors as the amount of the
outstanding loan in relation to the value of the property, the extent of
delinquency, and the borrower's ability and willingness to cooperate in curing
delinquencies. With respect to delinquencies on FHA, VA or other governmental
loan program mortgages, the Company follows the appropriate notification and
foreclosure procedures prescribed by the respective agencies.
On mortgage loans or loan participations purchased by the Company, the
Company receives monthly reports from its loan servicers with which it monitors
the loan portfolio. Based upon servicing agreements with the servicers of the
loan, the Company relies upon the servicer to contact delinquent borrowers,
collect delinquent amounts and initiate foreclosure proceedings, when
necessary, all in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and the terms of
the servicing agreements between the Company and its servicing agents.
Delinquent consumer, home equity, and commercial loans are handled
generally in a similar manner, except that initial contacts are made when the
payment is 10 days past due and personal contacts are made when the loan
becomes more than 20 days past due.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS -- Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in
the judgment of Company management, the probability of collection of principal
or interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual of interest. The
Company discontinues the accrual of interest on loans when the principal or
interest payment is contractually past due 90 days or more. When a loan is
placed on non-accrual status, all of the accrued interest on that
loan is reversed by way of a charge to interest income. Accrual of interest on
a non-accrual loan is resumed when all contractually past due payments are
current and when management believes the outstanding loan principal and
contractually due interest is likely to be collected.
10
<PAGE> 12
Property acquired by the Company as a result of a foreclosure, property
upon which a judgment of foreclosure has been entered but prior to foreclosure
sale (prior to fiscal 1994), and property which has been in substance
foreclosed, are classified as foreclosed properties, and real estate in
judgment (prior to fiscal 1994). Foreclosed properties are recorded at the
lower of the unpaid principal balance of the related loan or fair value less
estimated costs to sell. At the time a property is classified a foreclosed
property, the amount by which the loan balance exceeds the fair value, less
estimated costs to sell, is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Any
subsequent reduction in the carrying value of a foreclosed property, along with
expenses incurred to maintain or dispose of a foreclosed property, is charged
against current earnings. Valuations are performed periodically, and an
allowance for loss is established by a charge to expense if the carrying value
of a property exceeds fair value less estimated costs to sell. At June 30,
1997, the Company had 2 foreclosed properties with a carrying value of $0.1
million.
Non-performing loans include loans placed on non-accrual status, those
previoiusly classified as REJ, and troubled debt restructurings.
Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and foreclosed properties.
The following table sets forth non-performing loans and assets:

CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS -- Federal regulations require that each insured
financial institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in
connection with examinations of insured institutions by regulatory authorities,
regulatory examiners have authority to identify problem assets as Substandard,
Doubtful or Loss. Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and
are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain
some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the
weaknesses of Substandard assets, with the additional characteristics that the
weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently
existing facts, conditions and values, questionable, and there is a high
possibility of loss. An asset classified as Loss is considered uncollectible
and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the Company is not
warranted. Assets classified as Substandard or Doubtful require the Company to
establish prudent allowances for loan losses. Assets classified as Loss are
charged off.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had $2.052 million of assets classified as
"Substandard." There were no assets classified as "Doubtful" at June 30, 1997.
None of the classified assets are considered to represent either individually
or in the aggregate any material loss to the Company; however, such risk has
been considered in establishing the allowance for loan and lease losses.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES -- Under federal regulations, when an
insured institution classifies problem assets as either Substandard or
Doubtful, it is required to establish allowances for loan and lease losses in
an amount deemed prudent by management. Allowances are established to
recognize the inherent risks associated with lending activities. The Company's
determination as to its classification of assets and its valuation allowance is
subject to review by the Division of Savings Institutions ("DSI") in the
Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI") and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") which can order the establishment of
additional loss allowances.
The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision
for loan and lease losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent
in its portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation, which includes a
review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured,
considers, among other matters, the estimated value of the underlying
collateral, the nature and type of collateral, economic conditions, recent loan
and lease loss experience, industry standards, regulatory considerations and
other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loss
allowance. There can be no assurance that the allowance for loan and lease
losses will be adequate to cover losses which may in fact be realized in the
future and that additional provisions for loan and lease losses will not be
required.

charged-off commercial loan was recovered and is shown net of additional
provisions. The $3.1 million charge-off is attributable to credit extended to
a discount drug store chain. This loan was originated in October 1990 as a
$5.0 million participation in an $18.0 million loan secured by fixtures in 35
stores throughout the country. In August 1992, the company filed Chapter 11
bankruptcy. Since then, $0.7 million has been recovered. Future recoveries
are indeterminable.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
GENERAL -- The investment policy of the Company, which is established by
the Board of Directors, is designed primarily to provide and maintain required
liquidity, generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue
interest rate and credit risk, and compliment the Company's lending activities.
The Company's investment policy permits investment in various types of assets
permissible under state regulations, which include U.S. Treasury obligations,
securities of various federal agencies, municipal obligations, corporate notes,
mutual funds, certain certificates of deposits of insured banks and savings
institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, the sale of federal funds,
mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and
real estate mortgage investment conduit securities ("REMICs").
Guidelines regarding investment portfolio policy and accounting require
insured institutions to categorize securities and certain other assets as
"held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale," or "trading." These guidelines were
established by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", which was
adopted by the Company on July 1, 1994. "Held-to-maturity" securities include
securities the Company has the ability and intent to hold to maturity. These
securities are carried at amortized cost. "Available-for-sale" securities
include securities that management either intends to use as part of its
asset/liability management strategy or that it does not intend to hold to
maturity. These securities are carried at market value and unrealized holding
gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported net of tax effect as a
separate component of equity. "Trading" securities are securities held for
short-term/trading purposes. At June 30, 1997, the Company had no trading
account securities, and the Board of Directors had not authorized the
establishment of a trading account. The Company has incorporated the
requirements of regulatory guidelines into the Company's investment policy and
has categorized its investments in those prescribed categories.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- The Bank invests in various types of liquid
assets that are permissible investments for state chartered savings banks,
including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies,
municipal securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and
savings institutions, federal funds, mutual funds, repurchase agreements,
commercial paper and the Federal Home Loan Bank's (the "FHLB") Daily Investment
Deposit Account. The Company also invests in investment grade corporate debt
securities and asset-backed securities. Subject to certain investment
restrictions applicable to Wisconsin chartered savings banks, the Company's
current investment policy permits only purchases of investments rated
investment grade by a nationally recognized rating agency.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES -- Mortgage-backed securities represent a
participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgage
loans, the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the
mortgage loan originators through intermediaries (generally Government
Sponsored Enterprises "GSEs") that pool and repackage the participation
interest in the form of securities for sale to investors such as the Company.
Such GSEs, which guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors,
include FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA. Mortgage-backed securities generally increase
the quality of the Company's assets by virtue of the guarantees that back them,
are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize
borrowings or other obligations of the Company.
Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal
amounts and the securities are backed by pools of mortgage loans that have
loans with interest rates that are within a range and have similar maturities.
The underlying pool of mortgages can be composed of either fixed-rate mortgages
or ARM loans. Mortgage-backed securities generally are referred to as mortgage
participation certificates or pass-through certificates. As a result, the
interest rate risk characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgage loans,
i.e., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on
to the certificate holder while the credit risk is not, if guaranteed. The
life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security is equal to the average lives
of the underlying mortgage loans and is dependent on rates of prepayments which
are significantly influenced by changes in the interest rate environment.
Recent prepayment activity on the $53.1 million of mortgage-backed securities
held by the Company as of June 30, 1997 has been accelerating as interest rates
have recently experienced sporadic declines.
MORTGAGE-RELATED SECURITIES -- Collateralized mortgage obligations
("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment conduit securities ("REMICs")
typically are issued by a special purpose entity, which may be organized in a
variety of legal forms, such as a trust, a corporation or a partnership. The
entity aggregates pools of pass-through securities, which are used to
collateralize the mortgage-related securities. Once combined, the cash flows
can be divided into "tranches" or "classes" of individual securities, thereby
creating more predictable average lives for each security than the underlying
pass-through pools. Accordingly, under this security structure all principal
paydowns from the various mortgage pools are allocated to a mortgage-related
securities' class or classes structured to have priority until it has been paid
off.
The Company's investment in any one REMIC, CMO or other asset-backed issue
is limited to $25.0 million. In addition, these instruments must be rated in
one of the two highest categories by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
or Standard and Poor's Corporation ("S&P's"). Prior to the purchase of mortgage
derivative products, management must
15
<PAGE> 17
determine that the subject product is not a "high risk" mortgage security, as
defined by the FDIC, and if so, is prohibited from purchasing such security.
The Company held $358.2 million of CMOs at June 30, 1997, which
represented 87.1% of the mortgage-backed and related securities portfolio. The
entire balance of CMOs was classified as available-for-sale. Prepayments on
the CMOs have been minimal and within guidelines used to analyze the securities
at the time of purchase. The interest rates on the CMOs adjust monthly based
on changes in the one-month LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) and contain
provisions which limit the maximum interest rate on these securities to an
average of 9.32%.
There were no REMICs held by the Company at June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

Sources of Funds
General -- The Company's primary sources of funds for use in lending,
investing and for other general purposes are deposits, proceeds from principal
and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed and related securities,
investment securities, federal funds and FHLB borrowings. Deposit inflows and
outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general market
interest rates and economic conditions. Contractual loan payments and payments
on mortgage-backed securities, related securities and investment securities are
a relatively stable source of funds. In addition, borrowings may be used on a
short-term basis to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in normal
sources of funds or for deposit inflows at less than projected levels.
Borrowings also may be used on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending
or investment activities. The Company also utilizes federal funds and advances
from the FHLB-Chicago, and to a lesser extent, non-recourse debt secured by
assets under leases, as sources for its borrowings. These borrowings have been
used to maintain liquidity levels sufficient to accommodate normal deposit
fluctuations and various funding needs, primarily loan growth.
20
<PAGE> 22
DEPOSITS -- The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts having a
range of interest rates and terms. The Company's deposits principally consist
of demand accounts (non-interest bearing checking, interest-bearing checking,
money market accounts and passbook) which the Company considers to be its core
deposits and certificates of deposit. The flow of deposits is influenced
significantly by general economic conditions, changes in prevailing interest
rates and competition. The Company's deposits are obtained primarily from the
areas in which its branch offices are located, and the Company relies
principally on customer service, marketing programs and long-standing
relationships with customers to attract and retain these deposits. Various
types of advertising and promotion to attract and retain deposit accounts also
are used. The Company has also received brokered deposits. Management
monitors the Company's certificate accounts and, based on historical
experience, believes it will retain a large portion of such accounts upon
maturity. In deposit offerings and promotions management considers Company
profitability, the duration of its assets and the relative attractiveness to
customers of rates offered by competitors. The Company intends to continue
its efforts to attract deposits as a primary source of funds for supporting its
lending and investing activities.
The increase in deposits in fiscal 1997 is primarily attributed to the
brokered money market deposits that the Company began accepting in January
1995. Brokered money market deposits totaled $477.0 million at June 30, 1997
and $356.7 million at June 30, 1996. The increase in brokered deposits has
occurred because the Company has used such certificates in its plan to
facilitate the Company's growth and are part of a longer-term plan to leverage
the Company's capital to facilitate an increase in net income and return on
equity. In addition to growth in brokered money market deposits, the bank's
retail deposits also grew in response to aggressive and timely marketing
programs offered by the Company. The Company continues to believe deposits
will be a primary source of funds to support its lending and investment
activities. The following table presents the deposit activity of the Company
for the periods indicated.

BORROWING AND OTHER FINANCING TRANSACTIONS -- Although deposits are the
Company's primary source of funds, the Company's policy has been to utilize
borrowings as an alternative or less costly source of funds. The Company
utilizes borrowings as part of its asset/liability investment strategy.
Borrowings are obtained when management believes it can profitably re-invest
those funds for the benefit of the Company. The Company obtains advances from
the FHLB-Chicago and federal funds through correspondent bankers and in the
open market. Federal funds purchased were $75,000,000 and $255,000,000 at
fixed rates of 5.65% and 5.55% at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. FHLB
advances are collateralized by the capital stock of the FHLB-Chicago held by
the Company and certain of its mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities.
FHLB advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of
which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. The maximum amount
the FHLB-Chicago will advance to member institutions, including the Company,
for purposes other than meeting withdrawals, fluctuates from time to time in
accordance with policies of the FHLB-Chicago. The Company's unused advance
line with the FHLB-Chicago was $18.0 million at June 30, 1997. At June 30,
1997, the Company's FHLB-Chicago advances totaled $545.3 million at a weighted
average rate of 5.72% representing 17.7% of total liabilities.
The Company's borrowings from time to time include reverse repurchase
agreements. The form of reverse repurchase agreement used by the Company
involves the sale of securities owned by the Company with a commitment to
repurchase the same or substantially the same securities at a predetermined
price at a future date, typically within 30 days to twelve months. These
transactions are treated as borrowings collateralized by the securities sold
and are therefore included as other borrowings on the Company's financial
statements. These transactions are authorized by the Company's Investment
Policy and are governed by agreements with primary government dealers under PSA
Master Repurchase Agreements. At June 30, 1997 and 1996, there were no
outstanding reverse repurchase agreements.
While increases in borrowings and changes in the collateralization levels
due to market interest rate changes could require the Company to add collateral
to secure its borrowings, the Company does not anticipate having a shortage of
qualified collateral to pledge against its borrowings. All federal funds
purchases are uncollateralized borrowings.

The Company had 876 full-time and 166 part-time employees as of June 30,
1997. The employees of the Company are not represented by a collective
bargaining unit and the Company believes its relationship with its employees to

existing and near-term business activities.
FEDERAL TAXATION
GENERAL -- The following discussion of tax matters is intended to be a
summary of the material tax rules applicable to the Company and does not
purport to be a comprehensive description of all applicable tax rules.
The Company reports its income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual
method of accounting and will be subject to federal income taxation in the same
manner as other corporations with some exceptions, including particularly the
Company's reserve for bad debts discussed below. The Company and its
subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. For its taxable
year ended June 30, 1997, the Company was subject to a federal income tax rate
of 35%.
BAD DEBT RESERVES -- For tax years beginning before 1996, savings
institutions, such as the Bank, which meet certain definitional tests primarily
relating to their assets and the nature of their business ("qualifying
thrifts"), were permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make
annual additions thereto, which additions were, within specified formula
limits, deducted in arriving at their taxable income. The Bank's deductible
addition to its loss reserves with respect to "qualifying loans," generally
loans secured by certain interests in real property, was computed using an
amount based on the Bank's actual loss experience, or a percentage equal to 8%
of the Bank's taxable income. The amount of the addition to the reserve for
losses on qualifying real property loans under the percentage of taxable income
method could not exceed the amount necessary to increase the balance of the
reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans at the close of the
taxable year to 6% of the balance of the qualifying real property loans
outstanding at the end of the taxable year. Also, if the qualifying thrift
uses the percentage of taxable income method, then the qualifying thrift's
aggregate addition to its reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans
cannot, when added to the addition to the reserve for losses on non-qualifying
loans, exceed the amount by which (i) 12% of the amount that the total deposits
or withdrawable accounts of depositors of the qualifying thrift at the close of
the taxable year exceeded (ii) the sum of the qualifying thrift's surplus,
undivided profits and reserves at the beginning of such year. A deduction
based on the Bank's actual loss experience was limited based on the
relationship of the reserve for losses on qualifying loans to the reserve at
June 30, 1988 (the base year) and the amount of qualifying loans relative to
those outstanding at the base year end.
The Bank's deduction with respect to non-qualifying loans (generally,
non-mortgage loans) was computed under the experience method which essentially
allowed a deduction for actual charge-offs. Any deduction for an addition to
the reserve for non-qualifying loans reduces the addition to the reserve for
qualifying real property loans calculated under the percentage of taxable
income method. In recent years, the Bank generally computed additions to its
reserves for losses on qualifying loans using the experience method.
The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 amended the Internal Revenue
Code to repeal the bad debt reserve accounting method effective for tax years
beginning after 1995 The legislation also granted partial relief from the bad
debt reserve "recapture" which occured in connection with the change in method
of accounting by eliminating any recapture associated with pre-1988 reserves.
In addition, the legislation suspends recapture of post-1987 reserves for a
period of two years, conditioned on the Bank's compliance with certain
residential loan requirements. The Bank will meet this residential loan
requirement if the principal amount of residential loans made during a taxable
year is not less than the "base amount" for such year. The base amount
constitutes the average of the principal amounts of residential loans made by
the Bank during the six most recent taxable years. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Bank will be required to pay for recaptured post-1987 bad debt
reserves ratably over a six-year period starting in 1998. Since provisions for
deferred income tax have been provided for on post-1987 bad debt reserves,
there will not be any additional income tax expense to the Bank on recapture.
DISTRIBUTIONS -- To the extent that (i) the Bank's reserve for losses on
qualifying real property loans exceeds the amount that would have been allowed
under an experience method, and (ii) the Bank makes "non-dividend
distributions" to stockholders that are considered to result in distributions
from the excess bad debt reserve or the supplemental reserve for losses on
loans ("Excess Distribution"), then an amount based on the amount distributed
will be included in the Bank's taxable income. Non-dividend distributions
include distributions in excess of the Bank's
26
<PAGE> 28
current and accumulated earnings and profits, distributions in redemption of
stock and distributions in partial or complete liquidation. However, dividends
paid out of the Bank's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as
calculated for federal income tax purposes, will not be considered to result in
a distribution from the Bank's bad debt reserves.
The amount of additional taxable income created from an Excess
Distribution is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the
income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Thus, if certain portions
of the Bank's accumulated tax bad debt reserve are used for any purpose other
than to absorb qualified bad debt losses, such as for the payment of dividends
or other distributions with respect to the Bank's capital stock (including
distributions upon redemption or liquidation), approximately one and one-half
times the amount so used would be includable in gross income for federal income
tax purposes, assuming a 35% corporate income tax rate (exclusive of state
taxes).
FEDERAL TAX LITIGATION -- The Company and its subsidiaries have been
audited by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") through the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1991. The IRS has issued its report and the Company has paid the
additional taxes and interest for the years June 30, 1985 through 1991. The
Company disagreed with one adjustment and filed suit in Tax Court relative to
this item. On August 15, 1995, the United States Tax Court ruled against the
Company. The Company appealed the decision to the Court of Appeals, but on
June 24, 1997 the Court of Appeals also ruled against the Company. The Company
will not pursue this issue further.
The IRS is currently auditing the Company and its subsidiaries through the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1994.
Regardless of the outcome, the amount of total interest and taxes due for
these years, as well as subsequent open years, has been provided for in the
Company's consolidated statements of income and is not material to the
Company's operating results.
STATE TAXATION
The Company is subject to franchise taxes at a rate of 7.9% imposed by the
State of Wisconsin. Certain of the subsidiaries of the Company are subject to
other state income taxes in the jurisdictions in which they transact business.
Wisconsin taxable income is generally similar to federal taxable income
except that interest from state and municipal obligations is taxable, no
deduction is allowed for state income taxes, and net operating losses may be
carried forward, but not back. Wisconsin law does not provide for filing of
consolidated income tax returns. One of the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries
(SFMC) has a Wisconsin net operating loss that begins to expire in 1998 and may
be subject to certain other limitations.
The Bank was audited by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue ("WDR") for
the taxable years through June 30, 1994. The Department issued its audit
report which resulted in additional tax assessments of approximately $0.9
million. The major portion of the assessment results from an interpretation of
the allowable bad debt reserve deductions available beginning in 1988 when
Wisconsin tax law was amended to conform with that under the Internal Revenue
Code. The Company is contesting the audit assessment, but the ultimate
resolution is unknown. In a similar bad debt reserve case involving another
financial institution, a Circuit Court for the State of Wisconsin ruled in
favor of the WDR. The taxpayer appealed this decision to the Wisconsin Supreme
Court, which has agreed to review the case. The assessments, including
interest, have been deposited with the Department of Revenue. Regardless of the
outcome, the amount of total interest and taxes due for these years, as well as
subsequent open years has been provided for in the Company's consolidated
statements of income and are not material to the Company's operating results.
REGULATION
The following discussion is intended to be a summary of certain regulatory
issues and not a comprehensive description of all applicable regulations.
The Bank is a Wisconsin-chartered stock savings bank and its deposit
accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC under the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The Bank is subject to extensive
regulation by the DSI, as its chartering agency, and by the FDIC, as its
deposit insurer and principal federal regulator. The lending and investment
authority of the Bank is prescribed by Wisconsin law and regulations, as well
as applicable federal law and regulations, and the Bank is prohibited from
engaging in any activities not permitted by such law and regulations. The
Company is a unitary bank holding company subject to regulatory oversight by
the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"), the DSI and the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC").
WISCONSIN SAVINGS BANK REGULATION
Regulations adopted by the DSI govern various aspects of the activities
and the operation of Wisconsin-chartered savings banks.
27
<PAGE> 29
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSESSMENTS -- The Bank is required to file periodic
reports, and is subject to examinations at least once every 18-month period.
Savings banks are required to pay examination fees and annual assessments to
fund the supervisory operations of the DSI. Based on the assessment rates
published by the Commissioner and the Bank's adjusted assets of $3.162 billion
at December 31, 1995, the Bank paid $111,000 in assessments for the year ended
June 30, 1997.
LOANS AND INVESTMENTS -- The Bank is authorized to make, invest in, sell,
purchase, participate or otherwise deal in mortgage loans or interests in
mortgage loans without geographic restriction, including loans made on the
security of residential and commercial property. Such loans are subject to
certain limitations, including limits based on the Bank's total assets. Savings
banks may invest funds in certain types of debt and equity securities,
including obligations of federal, state and local governments and agencies.
Subject to the prior approval of the DSI, compliance with capital requirements,
and certain other restrictions, savings banks may invest in residential housing
development projects. Savings banks may also invest in service corporations or
subsidiaries with the prior approval of the DSI and subject to certain
restrictions. The lending and investment powers of Wisconsin savings banks
also are limited by FDIC regulations and other federal law and regulations.
The Bank's subsidiary operations also are regulated by the FDIC and the
FRB. See "-Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991" and
"-Holding Company Regulation." At June 30, 1997, the Bank's subsidiary
operations were not under any DSI, FRB or FDIC order to divest or terminate any
activity.
LOANS TO ONE BORROWER -- Savings banks may make loans and extensions of
credit, both direct and indirect, to one borrower in amounts up to 15% of
capital plus an additional 10% for loans fully secured by readily marketable
collateral. In addition, savings banks may make loans to one borrower for any
purpose in an amount not to exceed $500,000, or to develop domestic residential
housing units in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $30 million or 30% of
capital, provided certain conditions are satisfied. At June 30, 1997, the Bank
did not have any loans which exceeded the loans-to-one borrower limitations.
QUALIFIED THRIFT REQUIREMENT -- The Bank must qualify for and maintain a
level of qualified thrift investments equal to 60% of its assets as prescribed
in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
("Internal Revenue Code"). At June 30, 1997, the Bank maintained 77.58% of its
assets in qualified thrift investments and therefore met the qualified thrift
requirement.
DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS -- A savings bank which meets its regulatory capital
requirement may declare dividends on capital stock based upon net profits,
provided that its paid-in surplus equals its capital stock. If the paid-in
surplus of the savings bank does not equal its capital stock, the board of
directors may not declare a dividend unless at least 10% of the net profits of
the preceding half year in the case of quarterly or semi-annual dividends, or
10% of the net profits of the preceding year in case of annual dividends, has
been transferred to paid-in surplus. In addition, prior approval of the DSI is
required before dividends exceeding 50% of profits for any calendar year may be
declared and before a dividend may be declared out of retained earnings. Under
the DSI regulations, a savings bank which has converted from mutual to stock
form also would be prohibited from paying a dividend on its capital stock if
the effect thereof would cause the regulatory capital of the savings bank to be
reduced below the amount required for its liquidation account.
LIQUIDITY -- Savings banks are required to maintain average liquid assets,
as defined by regulation, of not less than 8.0% of its average daily balance
during the preceding calendar month of its net withdrawable accounts plus its
short-term borrowings ("liquidity base"). In addition, the regulations require
savings banks to maintain an average daily balance of primary liquid assets, as
defined by regulation, of not less than 4.0% of its liquidity base. On June 30,
1997, the Bank's liquidity ratios as defined thereunder, were 9.83% of total
liquid assets and 5.34% of primary liquid assets.
CERTAIN FEDERAL REGULATIONS
Provisions of Federal law address risk reduction and the promotion of
standards of safety and soundness for insured depository institutions.
28
<PAGE> 30
EXAMINATIONS AND AUDITS -- Federal regulations require annual on-site
examinations for all depository institutions except those well-capitalized
institutions with assets of less than $100 million; annual audits by
independent pubilic accountants for all insured institutions with assets in
excess of $500 million; the formation of independent audit committees of the
boards of directors of insured depository institution for institutions with
assets equal to or in excess of $500 million; and management of depository
institutions to prepare certain financial reports annually and to establish
internal compliance procedures.
PROMPT CORRECTIVE REGULATORY ACTION -- Federal bank regulators are
required to take certain supervisory actions with respect to undercapitalized
institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution's degree of
capitalization. The regulations provide that an insured institution that has
total capital to risk-based assets of less than 8.0%, core capital to
risk-based assets of less than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than
4.0%, would be considered "undercapitalized." An insured institution that has
total capital to risk-based assets of less than 6.0%, core capital to
risk-based assets of less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio that is less than
3.0%, would be considered "significantly undercapitalized" and an insured
institution that has tangible capital-to-assets ratio equal to or less than
2.0% would be deemed "critically undercapitalized."
Subject to limited exceptions, insured institutions in any of the
undercapitalized categories are prohibited from declaring dividends, making any
other capital distribution or paying a management fee to a controlling person.
Significantly and critically undercapitalized institutions face more severe
restrictions. The Bank currently exceeds all applicable regulatory capital
requirements and therefore is not subject to prompt corrective action.
BROKERED DEPOSITS -- FDIC regulations govern the acceptance of brokered
deposits by insured depository institutions. The capital position of an
institution determines whether and with what limitations an institution may
accept brokered deposits. A "well-capitalized" institution under the
regulations and therefore may accept brokered deposits without restriction. At
June 30, 1997, the Bank had $477.0 million in brokered deposits.
UNIFORM LENDING STANDARDS -- Savings institutions must adopt and maintain
written policies that establish appropriate limits and standards for extensions
of credit secured by liens or interests in real estate or made for the purpose
of financing permanent improvements to real estate. These policies must
establish loan portfolio diversification standards, prudent underwriting
standards (including loan-to-value limits) that are clear and measurable, loan
administration procedures and documentation, approval and reporting
requirements. The real estate lending policies must reflect consideration of
the Interagency Guidelines for Real Estate Lending Policies adopted by federal
bank regulators. The Bank has adopted and maintains such policies.
STANDARDS FOR SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS -- On July 10, 1995, federal bank
regulators adopted "Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safety
and Soundness" (the "Guidelines") and also adopted a final rule establishing
deadlines for submission and review of safety and soundness compliance plans.
The Guidelines prescribe operational and managerial standards for all insured
depository institutions and depository institution holding companies relating
to internal controls, information systems and audit systems; loan
documentation; credit underwriting; interest rate risk exposure; asset growth;
asset quality; earnings and compensation, fees and benefits. The compensation
standards prohibit employment contracts, compensation or benefit arrangements,
stock option plans, fee arrangements or other compensatory arrangements that
would provide excessive compensation, fees or benefits or could lead to
material financial loss. Federal bank regulators are authorized, but not
required, to request a compliance plan for failure to satisfy the safety and
soundness standards set out in the Guidelines. The Bank believes that its
operational and managerial standards substantially comply with the standards
set forth in the Guidelines and that compliance with the Guidelines will
therefore not impose a significant burden on Bank operations.
RESTRICTIONS UPON STATE-CHARTERED BANKS -- FDIC regulations governing the
equity investments of the Bank generally prohibit certain equity investments
and require the divestiture of such investments by December 19, 1996. Banks
holding impermissible equity investments that do not receive FDIC approval must
submit to the FDIC a plan for divesting such investments. The Bank does not
hold any impermissible equity investments.
Under FDIC regulations, the Bank must obtain the FDIC's prior approval
before directly, or indirectly through a majority-owned subsidiary, engaging
"as principal" in any activity that is not permissible for a national bank
unless certain exceptions apply. The activity regulations provide that state
banks which meet all regulatory capital requirements may engage in certain
activities that are not permissible for national banks, including guaranteeing
obligations of others, activities which the FRB has found to be closely related
to banking and certain securities activities conducted through subsidiaries.
The FDIC will not approve an activity it determines would present a significant
risk to the FDIC insurance funds. As a SAIF-insured, state-chartered savings
bank which was formerly a state-chartered savings association, the Bank
continues to be subject to certain restrictions which are imposed by federal
law on state-chartered savings associations. The activities of the Company and
its subsidiaries are of a type permissible under FDIC regulations.
29
<PAGE> 31
CAPITAL MAINTENANCE
FDIC REGULATION -- FDIC-insured institutions are required to follow
certain capital adequacy guidelines which prescribe minimum levels of capital
and require that institutions meet certain risk-based capital requirements. The
Bank is required to meet the following capital standards to remain adequately
capitalized and not be subject to corrective action: (i) "Tier 1 capital" in
an amount not less than 3% of total assets; (ii) "Tier 1 capital" in an amount
not less than 4% of risk-weighted assets; and (iii) "total capital" in an
amount not less than 8% of risk-weighted assets.
FDIC-insured institutions in the strongest financial and managerial
condition (with a composite rating of "1" under the Uniform Financial
Institutions Rating System established by the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council) are also required to maintain "Tier 1 capital" equal to at
least 3% of total assets (the "leverage capital" requirement). Tier 1 capital
is defined to include the sum of common stockholders' equity, noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock (including any related surplus), and minority
interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets (with
certain exceptions), disallowed deferred tax assets, identified losses, and
qualifying investments in securities subsidiaries. An institution that fails
to meet the minimum leverage limit requirement must file a capital restoration
plan with the appropriate FDIC regional director. At June 30, 1997, the Bank's
ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets was 12.87%, or 9.87% in excess of the
minimum leverage limit requirement, the Bank's Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted
assets was 17.95% or 13.95% in excess of the FDIC requirement, and the Bank's
total capital to risk-weighted assets was 19.21% or 11.21% in excess of the
FDIC requirement.
WISCONSIN REGULATION -- Wisconsin-chartered savings banks are required to
maintain a minimum capital to assets ratio of 6% and must maintain total
capital necessary to ensure the continuation of insurance of deposit accounts
by the FDIC. If the DSI determines that the financial condition, history,
management or earning prospects of a savings bank are not adequate, the DSI may
require a higher minimum capital level for the savings bank. If a savings
bank's capital ratio falls below the required level, the DSI may direct the
savings bank to adhere to a specific written plan established by the DSI to
correct the savings bank's capital deficiency, as well as a number of other
restrictions on the savings bank's operations, including a prohibition on the
declaration of dividends. At June 30, 1997, the Bank's total capital, as
calculated under Wisconsin law, was $507.7 million or 14.19% of total assets,
which was 8.19% in excess of the required amount.
INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS
The bank's deposits are insured to applicable limits under the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. The FDIC regulations assign
institutions to a particular capital group based on the level of an
institution's capital-- "well capitalized," adequately capitalized," and
"undercapitalized." These three groups are then divided into three subgroups
which reflect varying levels of supervisory concern, from those which are
considered to be healthy to those which are considered to be of substantial
supervisory concern. The matrix so created results in nine assessment risk
classifications, with reduced insurance rates paid by well capitalized,
financially sound institutions and higher rates paid by undercapitalized
institutions that pose a substantial risk of loss to the insurance fund unless
effective corrective action is taken.
The Bank's expense related to FDIC premiums was $15.2 million for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, which includes a one-time special assessment
of $13.2 million pre-tax, to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance
Fund. Deposit premium levels are set in order to permit the SAIF to achieve a
ratio of reserves to insured deposits of 1.25% and the FDIC may adjust
assessment rates in order to maintain the target ratio. In addition, the FDIC
may impose special assessments on SAIF members to repay amounts borrowed from
the United States Treasury or for any other reason deemed necessary by the
FDIC. While an increase in premiums for the Bank could have an adverse effect
on earnings, a decrease in premiums could have a positive impact on earnings.
The Bank does not expect that any reasonably foreseeable increase in insurance
assessments would significantly impair the Bank's overall financial condition
or results of operations.
Under the FDIC Act, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC
upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices,
is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated
any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.
The Company's management does not know of any practice, condition or violation
that might lead to the termination of deposit insurance for the Bank. For a
further discussion see "Regulatory Legislation."
RESTRICTIONS ON LOANS TO AND TRANSACTIONS WITH INSIDERS AND AFFILIATES
FRB regulations limit the total amount a savings bank may lend to its
executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and their related
interests ("affiliated persons"). Generally, an affiliated person may borrow
an aggregate amount not exceeding 15% of a savings bank's unimpaired capital and
unimpaired surplus on an unsecured basis and an additional 10% on a secured
basis. The regulations limit, with certain exceptions, the aggregate amount a
depository institution may lend to affiliated persons as a class to an amount
not exceeding the institution's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus.
30
<PAGE> 32
In addition, the DSI regulations provide certain restrictions and limits
on loans and other transactions with the Company's affiliated persons to ensure
that such loans and transactions are on terms which would be available to
members of the general public of similar credit status. Interest rates on
loans to affiliated persons must be equal to or greater than the Bank's cost
of funds at the time the loan is made, except that the interest rate of a loan
secured by a deposit account must be at least 1% above the rate of return on
the deposit account. Extensions of credit to affiliated persons for commercial
purposes, in the aggregate, may not exceed $100,000.
The bank must also comply with Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve
Act ("Sections 23A and 23B") relating to transactions with affiliates in the
same manner and to the same extent as if the bank were a Federal Reserve
member bank. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B limit the extent to which an
insured institution or its subsidiaries may engage in certain covered
transactions with an affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such institution's
capital and surplus, plus an aggregate limit on all such transactions with
affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital and surplus, and require
that all transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as
favorable to the institution or subsidiary, as those provided to a
non-affiliate. The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans,
the purchase of assets, issuance of a guaranty and similar other types of
transactions. The DSI, for safety and soundness reasons, may impose more
stringent restrictions on savings banks but may not exempt transactions from or
otherwise abridge Sections 23A and 23B.
Unless prior approval of the DSI is obtained, a savings bank may not
purchase, lease or acquire a site for an office building or an interest in real
estate from an affiliated person, including a stockholder owning more than 10%
of its capital stock, or from any firm, corporation, entity or family in which
an affiliated person or 10% stockholder has a direct or indirect interest.
The Bank has not been significantly affected by the applicable
restrictions on loans to and transactions with affiliates.
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT
Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended ("CRA"), as
implemented by FDIC regulations, the Company has a continuing and affirmative
obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit
needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods.
The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for
financial institutions nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop
the types of products and services it believes are best suited to its
particular community. The CRA requires the FDIC, in connection with its
examination of a bank, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit
needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation
of certain applications by such institution. The law requires the FDIC to
provide a written evaluation of an institution's CRA performance. Based on an
FDIC examination conducted as of October 1, 1993, the Bank was rated as
"outstanding," the highest rating available for an institution.
On May 4, 1995, the federal banking regulators adopted a final rule
("Final CRA Rule") governing compliance with CRA. The final CRA Rule
eliminates the previous CRA regulation's twelve assessment factors and
substitutes a performance-based evaluation system. The final CRA Rule became
fully effective on July 1, 1997. Under the Final CRA Rule, an institution's
performance in meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low-
and moderate-income areas, as required by the CRA, will generally be evaluated
under three assessment tests relating to lending, investment and service.
The lending test analyzes lending performance using five criteria (i) the
number and amount of loans in the institution's assessment area, (ii) the
geographic distribution of lending, including the proportion of lending in the
assessment area, the dispersion of lending in the assessment area, and the
number and amount of loans in low-, moderate, middle- and upper-income areas in
the assessment area, (iii) borrower characteristics, such as the income level
of individual borrowers and the size of businesses or farms, (iv) the number
and amount, as well as the complexity and innovativeness of an institution's
community development lending and (v) the use of innovative or flexible lending
practices in a safe and sound manner to address the credit needs of low- or
moderate-income individuals or areas.
The investment test analyzes investment performance using four criteria:
(i) the dollar amount of qualified investments, (ii) the innovativeness or
complexity of qualified investments, (iii) the responsiveness of qualified
investments to credit and community development needs, and (iv) the degree to
which the qualified investments made by the institution are not routinely
provided by private investors.
The service test analyzes service performance using six criteria: (i) the
institution's branch distribution among low-, moderate-, middle-, and
upper-income areas, (ii) its record of opening and closing branches,
particularly in low-, and moderate-income areas, (iii) the availability and
effectiveness of alternative systems for delivering retail banking services,
(iv) the range of services provided in low-, moderate-, middle- and
upper-income areas and extent to which
31
<PAGE> 33
those services are tailored to meet the needs of those areas, (v) the extent to
which the institution provides community development services, and (vi) the
innovativeness and responsiveness of community development services provided.
Based upon a review of the Final CRA Rule, management of the Company does
not anticipate that the new CRA regulations will adversely affect the Bank.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
FRB Regulation D imposes reserve requirements on all depository
institutions, which maintain transaction accounts or non-personal time
deposits. Checking accounts, NOW accounts and certain other types of accounts
that permit payments or transfers to third parties fall within the definition
of transaction accounts and are subject to Regulation D reserve requirements,
as are any non-personal time deposits (including certain money market deposit
accounts) at a savings institution. A depository institution need not maintain
average daily reserves on the first $4.4 million of otherwise reservable
liabilities, otherwise must maintain reserves equal to 3% of net transaction
accounts up to $49.3 million and 10% on net transaction account balances over
$49.3 million. These percentages and tranches are subject to adjustment by the
FRB. The Bank satisfies its reserve requirements on an ongoing basis by
maintaining average balances of vault cash and non-interest bearing reserve
deposits with the FRB and with the FHLB-Chicago (which are passed through to
the FRB) which in total are greater than or equal to its required daily average
balance. Thrift institutions also have authority to borrow from the Federal
Reserve Bank "discount window," but FRB policy generally requires thrift
institutions to exhaust all sources before borrowing from the Federal Reserve
System. The Bank had no discount window borrowings as of June 30, 1997.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM
The Federal Home Loan Bank System, consisting of twelve FHLBs, is under
the jurisdiction of the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB"). The designated
duties of the FHFB are to supervise the FHLBs and ensure that they carry out
their housing finance mission, remain adequately capitalized and are able to
raise funds in the capital market, and operate in a safe and sound manner.
The Bank, as a member of the FHLB-Chicago, is required to acquire and hold
shares of capital stock in the FHLB-Chicago in an amount equal to the greater
of (i) 1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of residential mortgage
loans, home purchase contracts and similar obligations at the beginning of each
year, or (ii) 0.3% of total assets. The Bank is in compliance with this
requirement with an investment in FHLB-Chicago stock of $28.2 million at June
30, 1997.
Among other benefits, the FHLBs provide a central credit facility
primarily for member institutions. It is funded primarily from proceeds
derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes
advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by
the FHFB and the Board of Directors of the FHLB-Chicago. At June 30, 1997, the
Bank had $545.3 million in advances from the FHLB-Chicago.
HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
FEDERAL REGULATION -- The Company is a registered bank holding company
pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). As
such, the Company is subject to examination, regulation and periodic reporting
under the BHCA, as administered by the FRB. The FRB has adopted capital
adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies (on a consolidated basis)
substantially similar to those of the FDIC for the Bank. The Company's total
and Tier 1 capital significantly exceed such capital adequacy requirements.
The Company is required to obtain the prior approval of the FRB to acquire
all, or substantially all, of the assets of any bank or bank holding company.
Prior FRB approval is required for the Company to acquire direct or indirect
ownership or control of any voting securities of any bank or bank holding
company if, after giving effect to such acquisition, it would, directly or
indirectly, own or control more than 5% of any class of voting shares of such
bank or bank holding company. The BHCA also prohibits the acquisition by the
Company of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all the assets of
a bank located outside the State of Wisconsin unless such an acquisition is
specifically authorized by the laws of the state in which such bank is located.
FRB regulations govern a variety of bank holding company matters,
including redemption of outstanding equity securities and a bank holding
company engaging in non-banking activities. Pursuant to FRB policy, dividends
should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of
earnings retention by the bank holding company appears consistent with its
capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The FRB policy
also required that a bank holding company serve as a source of financial
strength to its subsidiary banks by standing ready to use available resources
to provide adequate capital funds to those banks during periods of financial
stress or adversity. These policies could affect the ability of the company to
pay cash dividends.
Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain
quantitative and qualitative restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on
any extension of credit to, or purchase of assets from, or letter of credit on
behalf of, the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, and on the investment
in or acceptance of stocks or securities of such holding company
32
<PAGE> 34
or its subsidiaries as collateral for loans. In addition, provisions of the
Federal Reserve Act and FRB regulations limit the amounts of, and establish
required procedures and credit standards with respect to, loans and other
extensions of credit to officers, directors and principal shareholders of the
Bank, the Company, any subsidiary of the Company and related interests of such
persons. See " -Restrictions on Loans to and Transactions with Insiders and
Affiliates." Moreover, subsidiaries of bank holding companies are prohibited
from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements (with the Bank or any of its
subsidiaries) in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of
property or furnishing of services.
The Company and its subsidiary, the Bank, are affected by the monetary and
fiscal policies of various agencies of the United States government, including
the Federal Reserve System. In view of changing conditions in the national
economy and in the money markets, it is impossible for management of the
Company to accurately predict future changes in monetary policy or the effect
of such changes on the business or financial condition of the Company.
STATE SAVINGS BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION -- In addition to the FRB
Company holding company regulations, a bank holding company that owns or
controls, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting securities of a
state savings bank also is subject to regulation as a savings bank holding
company by the DSI.
ITEM 2 PROPERTIES
The Bank conducts its operations through 42 branch offices located
throughout Wisconsin, of which 3 are leased and 39 are owned. In addition, the
Bank maintains 10 separate lending offices (nine are leased and one is owned).
Management believes the Bank's current facilities are adequate to meet present
needs but that, based on future growth and business plans, additional
facilities may be purchased or leased as needs dictate. The total net book
value of property owned by the Company was $20.8 million at June 30, 1996.
The Bank's home office is located at 184 West Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin 53203. In addition to the Bank's premises, some of the wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Bank also maintain separate office space. SIFS leases
space in New Berlin, Wisconsin to house its operations. SFMC leases home
office space and separate loan origination space in suburban St. Louis,
Missouri. Loan origination space also is leased in Collinsville and suburban
Chicago, Illinois; Nashville, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; Leawood, Kansas;
and Lee's Summit, Missouri. SFMC's home office lease expires in 1999. SMFS
leases office space in Bloomington, Minnesota. The remaining active
subsidiaries of the Bank lease space within the Bank's premises with rent based
on market rates.
ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings. In the
opinion of management, based upon current facts and circumstances known by the
Company, the resolution of these matters should not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Security Capital Corporation (the "Company") is a holding company which
owns all of the issued and outstanding stock of Security Bank S.S.B. (the
"Bank"), a state-chartered stock savings bank. In this discussion and
analysis, reference to the operations and financial condition of the Company
includes the operations and financial condition of the Bank.
The Company was incorporated on August 16, 1993 for the purpose of
acquiring all of the Bank's capital stock to be issued upon its conversion from
mutual to stock ownership (the "Conversion"). On December 30, 1993, the Bank
completed the Conversion. On that date, the Company issued and sold 10,810,000
shares of common stock at $25 per share to complete the Conversion. The gross
proceeds from the sale of common stock were $270.2 million, and the net
proceeds after issuance and transaction costs of approximately $3.1 million and
stock benefit plans of $32.4 million, were $234.7 million and are recorded as
common stock and additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of
financial condition. The Company contributed capital of $47.9 million of the
net proceeds to the Bank, as its wholly-owned subsidiary.
The Company's business is primarily the operations of the Bank and its
subsidiaries. The business of the Bank is discussed herein under Item 1 -
"Business." Management's strategy since the conversion has focused on
maximizing profitability and shareholder value. Although the majority of the
Company's loan portfolio consists of adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by
one-to four-family residential units, a recent emphasis has been placed upon
increasing home equity loans and multi-family commercial loans. While
implementing the above strategy, management has simultaneously maintained a
high quality asset structure; managed the Company's vulnerability to interest
rate risk; emphasized quality lending activities; and provided various
ancillary products that produce fee income.
The earnings of the Company depend primarily on its level of net interest
income, which is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning
assets, consisting primarily of mortgage and consumer loans, mortgage-backed
and related securities and other investment securities, and the interest paid
on interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and borrowings. Net
interest income is a function of the Company's interest spread, which is the
difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as a function of the
average ratio of interest-earning assets as compared to interest-bearing
liabilities. The Company's earnings also are affected by the level of its
other income, including loan servicing fees, insurance, mutual fund and annuity
commissions, and gain on sales of loans and securities as well as its level of
non-interest expenses, including employee compensation and benefits, occupancy
and equipment costs, marketing, and federal deposit insurance premiums.
The Company's operating results are significantly affected by general
economic conditions, and the monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies of
governmental agencies. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and
supply of housing, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and
the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds likewise are
heavily influenced by prevailing market rates of interest on competing
investment alternatives, account maturities and the levels of personal income
and savings in the Company's market areas.
On March 15, 1997, the Company announced it had signed a definitive merger
agreement with Marshall & Ilsley Corporation ("M&I"), pursuant to which the
Company will merge with and into M&I. On July 10, 1997, the Company announced
that it had received shareholder and the required regulatory approvals on the
Company's pending merger with and into M&I. Subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions, the companies anticipated the merger will be completed on
or about October 1, 1997. The Company will expense fees and costs incurred
relative to the proposed merger, such as legal and professional fees, that are
non-refundable and not contingent on the merger completion. For fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred after-tax merger-related expenses of
$1.0 million or $0.11 per share.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND JUNE 30,
1996
GENERAL -- Net income increased $12.5 million or 38.5% to $44.9 million
for the year ended June 30, 1997 from $32.5 million for the year ended June 30,
1996. Earnings per share increased 42.1% to $4.83 per share from $3.40 per
share over the same period.
Excluding after-tax non-recurring charges of (i) in fiscal 1997, a
one-time industry wide FDIC special assessment of $7.9 million or 86 cents per
share and merger-related expenses of $1.0 million or 11 cents per share and
(ii) in fiscal 1996, a $2.7 million provision for the settlement of a
class-action lawsuit, net income increased $18.7 million or 53.2% to $53.9
million from $35.2 million. Earnings per share excluding the non-recurring
charges would have been $5.78 and $3.68 for the years ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively.
The major components of the increase in earnings for fiscal 1997, as
compared to fiscal 1996, excluding the effects of the FDIC special assessment
and merger-related expenses in fiscal 1997 and the litigation settlement in
fiscal 1996, are discussed in the following paragraphs and generally include:
(i) an increase of $12.4 million in net interest income; (ii) a decrease of
$4.4
38
<PAGE> 40
million in the provision for loan and lease losses; (iii) a $1.7 million
increase in non-interest income; (iv) a decrease of $6.4 million in
non-interest expenses ; and (v) an increase of $6.1 million in income taxes.
NET INTEREST INCOME -- Net interest income increased $12.4 million during
fiscal 1997. The net interest margin increased to 3.74% for fiscal 1997 from
3.70% in fiscal 1996 and the interest rate spread increased to 2.91% for fiscal
1997 from 2.75% in fiscal 1996. The increases in margin and spread were due to
the yield on interest-earning assets increasing 15 basis points while the cost
of interest-bearing liabilities remained nearly stable with a 1 basis point
decrease. The increase in margin was reduced by the Bank's purchases of
Bank-owned life insurance policies in October 1995 and July 1996 totalling
$50.0 million. The Company sold securities available-for-sale to fund the
purchase, thereby effectively transferring the amount of the purchase price of
the policies out of interest-earning assets. Net interest income increased for
the year due to the increases in net interest margin and spread and an increase
in the average balance of interest earning assets of $277.6 million or 8.8%
from $3.16 billion to $3.44 billion. The average balance increase was funded
by additional interest bearing deposits and borrowings. The average balance of
interest bearing liabilities increased $306.0 million or 12.0% from $2.56
billion to $2.86 billion.
Total interest income increased $27.5 million or 11.3% during fiscal 1997.
The increase consisted primarily of increases in interest income on loans and
leases and, to a lesser extent, mortgage-backed and related securities. The
increase of $25.0 million in interest income on loans is attributable to an
increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $254.4 million or 10.3%
during the period and an increase in average yield on loans of 17 basis points
due to rate adjustments on adjustable rate mortgage loans and additions to
longer-term, higher-yielding fixed rate loan portfolios.
Total interest expense increased $15.1 million or 11.8% during fiscal
1997. The increase consisted primarily of increases in interest on borrowings
and, to a lesser extent, interest on deposits. The increase in interest
expense on borrowings is attributable to an increase in the average balance of
borrowings outstanding during the period of $202.3 million or 48.2%, partially
offset by a 21 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings due to
holding shorter term borrowings at lower rates without a significant increase
or decrease in market interest rates. The increase in interest expense on
deposits is attributable to an increase in the average balance of deposits
outstanding during the period of $104.8 million or 5.0%, partially offset by a
3 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits. Brokered deposits
accounted for $59.8 million of the increase in average deposits. Brokered
deposits represented $349.4 million or 16.6% of average deposits and $409.2
million or 18.5% of average deposits for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996
and 1997, respectively.
PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES -- The provision for loan and lease
losses decreased $4.4 million to $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 1997
compared to a provision of $5.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1996,
reflecting continued low net charge-offs and non-performing loan ratios. Net
charge-offs totaled $0.4 million in fiscal 1997 compared to net recoveries of
$0.5 million in fiscal 1996. Non-performing loans totaled $4.3 million at June
30, 1997 compared to $3.6 million at June 30, 1996. Gross loans and leases
increased $213.9 million to $2.83 billion at June 30, 1997 compared to $2.62 at
June 30, 1996, with $88.1 million of the growth coming from one-to-four family
first mortgage loans, $64.6 million from multi-family first mortgage loans and
$96.2 million from home equity loans, partially offset by decreases in
commercial and consumer loans. The allowance for loan and lease losses
increased $0.8 million to $40.6 million at June 30, 1997 from $39.8 million at
June 30, 1996 and represented 1.44% and 1.52% of gross loans and leases
receivable and 939.03% and 1091.78% of non-performing loans, respectively. The
desired level of allowance for loan and lease losses is determined by the
Company's historical loan loss experience, the condition and composition of the
Company's loan portfolio and existing and anticipated general economic
conditions. Management believes the current level of the allowance for loan
and lease losses of 1.44% of gross loans receivable is prudent based upon the
credit risk inherent in the portfolio.
NON-INTEREST INCOME -- Non-interest income increased $1.7 million or 8.2%
to $22.5 million for the year ended June 30, 1997 from $20.8 million for the
year ended June 30, 1996. Bank-owned life insurance income increased $1.9
million due to the increase in cash surrender values on $50.0 million of single
premium Bank-owned life insurance policies purchased in October 1995 and July
1996. The Cmpany is utilizing this vehicle to satisfy future employee benefit
obligations becauseof its attractive tax-equivalent return. Insurance and
annuity commissions increased $0.4 million to $5.4 million in fiscal 1997 from
$5.0 million in fiscal 1996. Partially offsetting those increases were (i) a
decrease in loan servicing fees and charges of $0.4 million to $7.3 million
from $7.7 million in 1996, and (ii) a decrease in the gain on the sales of
loans held for sale of $0.5 million to $1.0 million for the year ended June 30,
1997 from $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 1996. Gain on the sales of
loans during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, decreased from the previous
year due to a 47% decrease in loan sales as the Bank retained more fixed rate
loans in the current year to facilitate portfolio growth.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES -- Non-interest expenses, excluding pre-tax
non-recurring charges of (i) in fiscal 1997, the FDIC special assessment of
$13.2 million and merger-related expenses of $1.0 million, and (ii) in fiscal
1996, a $4.5 million provision for the settlement of a class-action lawsuit ,
decreased $6.4 million or 8.6% compared to 1996. Compensation and employee
benefits decreased $1.6 million or 4.2% primarily due to a $1.4 million
decrease in costs related to stock-based compensation plans, which were adopted
in fiscal 1994 at the time of the conversion to a public company. Professional
fees decreased $1.4 million due to lower legal fees associated with litigation.
FDIC premiums decreased $2.9 million due to a $1.3 million FDIC refund
recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 1996 and lower premiums being
assessed since the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") of the FDIC.
39
<PAGE> 41
INCOME TAX EXPENSE -- Income tax expense, excluding the benefits for the
FDIC special assessment and merger-related expenses in 1997 and the litigation
settlement in 1996, increased $6.1 million in 1997 from 1996 due to increased
income before taxes, offset partially by a decrease in the effective income tax
rate for 1997 to 33.0% from 36.8% in 1996. The decrease in the effective tax
rate was generally due to state tax benefits recognized from the reduction of
the deferred tax valuation allowance and greater deductible expenses including
litigation reserve adjustments.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND JUNE 30,
1995
GENERAL -- Net income increased $7.4 million or 29.3% to $32.5 million for
the year ended June 30, 1996 from $25.1 million for the year ended June 30,
1995, and earnings per share increased 34.4% to $3.40 per share from $2.53 per
share. The major components of the increase in earnings for fiscal 1996, as
compared to fiscal 1995, are discussed in the following paragraphs and
generally include: an increase of $11.4 million in net interest income; a
$1.1 million increase in non-interest income; a $1.6 million increase in
non-interest expenses including $4.5 million pre-tax non-recurring charges; and
an increase of $3.7 million in income taxes.
Excluding the after-tax effect of the $2.7 million non-recurring charges
for the settlement of a class action lawsuit, net income and earnings per share
would have been $35.2 million and $3.68 per share, respectively, for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996, respectively.
NET INTEREST INCOME -- Net interest income increased $11.4 million during
fiscal 1996. The net interest margin decreased to 3.70% for fiscal 1996 from
3.81% in fiscal 1995 and the interest rate spread decreased to 2.75% for fiscal
1996 from 2.85% in fiscal 1995. The decrease in margin and spread were
primarily due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing faster
than the yield on interest-earning assets since most of the liability growth
has come from brokered deposits and borrowings at rates higher than historical
retail rates. The fiscal 1996 net interest margin would have been 3 basis
points higher or 3.73% if the income and average balance of the $25 million in
singled premium Bank-owned life insurance policies purchased in October 1995
were included with earning assets and interest for the margin calculation.
Despite the decreases in net interest margin and interest rate spread, net
interest income increased for the year because the average balance of interest
earning assets increased by $361.1 million from $2.80 billion to $3.16 billion.
The average balance increase was funded by additional interest bearing
deposits and borrowings.
Total interest income increased $42.5 million during fiscal 1996. The
increase in interest income was primarily the result of increases in the
average balances of loans and securities outstanding during the period of 10.0%
and 22.0%, respectively. In addition, the increases in average yields on loans
and securities due to upward rate adjustments on adjustable-rate products
contributed to the positive effect on interest income. See the "Rate/Volume
Analysis" for additional disclosure of the component changes of interest
income.
Total interest expense increased $31.1 million during fiscal 1996. The
increase was primarily attributed to a $367.2 million increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities and an effective rate increase of these interest
bearing liabilities to 4.99% in fiscal 1996 from 4.41% in fiscal 1995 . The
"Rate/Volume Analysis" schedule shows the effect of these changes in more
detail with deposit growth accounting for the majority of the increase in
interest expense. Brokered money market deposits were first accepted in
January 1995 and represented $143.5 million, or 7.6% of average deposits, and
$349.4 million, or 16.1% of average deposits, for the fiscal years ended June
30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Management considers the use of brokered
deposits as a cost-effective way of funding balance sheet growth.
PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES -- The provision for loan and lease
losses decreased $0.3 million to $5.6 million for the year ended June 30, 1996
compared to a provision of $5.9 million for the year ended June 30, 1995. Net
recoveries totaled $0.5 million in fiscal 1996 compared to net charge-offs of
$0.1 million in 1995. The desired level of allowance for loan and lease losses
is determined by the Company's recent loan loss experience, the condition and
composition of the Company's loan portfolio and existing and anticipated
general economic conditions. The amount of the provision for loan and lease
losses for the year ended June 30, 1996 reflects the continued change in the
volume and type of lending conducted by the Company. Gross loans and leases
increased $190.9 million during fiscal 1996 compared to 1995, with $115.8
million of the growth coming from multi-family first mortgage loans and $62.0
million from home equity loans. The allowance for loan and lease losses
increased $6.1 million to $39.8 million at June 30, 1996 from $33.7 million
at June 30, 1995 and represented 1.52% and 1.39% of gross loans and leases
receivable and 1091.78% and 993.63% of non-performing loans, respectively.
The June 30, 1996 non-performing loans of $3.6 million was up $0.2 million from
$3.4 million at June 30, 1995.
The Company has continued to build the allowance for loan and lease losses
as a result of loan growth, changes in portfolio mix, and the high ratio of
variable-rate mortgage loans to total mortgage loans of 80.77%, at June 30,
1996. Although desirable for interest rate risk management, variable-rate
loans represent an increased credit risk when interest rates and the borrower's
payments begin to rise. Similarly, approximately 41.0% of the Company's home
equity loans are also adjustable and payments increase or decrease with the
prime rate. General economic conditions in the Company's primary lending areas
have been favorable in recent years, but there can be no assurance that this
trend will continue. Management believes the current level
40
<PAGE> 42
of the allowance for loan and lease losses of 1.52% of gross loans receivable
and the continued addition to the allowance is prudent based upon the credit
risk inherent in the portfolio.
NON-INTEREST INCOME -- Non-interest income increased $1.1 million or 5.4%
to $20.8 million for the year ended June 30, 1996 from $19.7 million for the
year ended June 30, 1995. Gains on the sales of loans held for sale increased
$0.7 million to $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 1996 from $0.9 million
for the year ended June 30, 1995, due mostly to the adoption of SFAS No. 122 on
July 1, 1995, which effectively decreased the Company's basis in loans sold
with servicing retained as the originated mortgage servicing rights were
capitalized. Loan servicing fees and charges increased $0.5 million in 1996
from $7.2 million in 1995. A $0.9 million loss on the sale of securities
available-for-sale in fiscal 1995 was incurred as part of a portfolio
restructuring to improve future yields and was not repeated in fiscal 1996.
Partially offsetting those increases was a $0.7 million decrease in other
income including a $1.7 milllion decrease in lease rental income and lease
residual value gains and a $1.0 million increase in income from the
appreciation of cash surrender values on single premiunm Bank-owned life
insurance policies purchased for $25.0 million in October 1995.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES -- Non-interest expenses, excluding the $4.5 million
provision for the pending settlement of a class-action lawsuit, decreased $2.9
million or 3.8% compared to 1995. This decrease was primarily due tot a $2.4
million or 6.0% decrease in compensation and employee benefits including a $1.8
million decrease in costs related to stock-based compensation plans, which were
adopted in fiscal 1994 at the time of the conversion to a public company.
Professional fees decreased $0.7 million due to lower legal fees associated
with litigation. Other expenses decreased $1.9 million due to a reduction in
other legal-related costs and increased deferral of consumer loan origination
expenses in fiscal 1996. These were partially offset by increases of $1.3
million in marketing and $0.8 million in FDIC premiums to support the Company's
growth in loans and deposits.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE -- Income tax expense increased $3.7 million in 1996
from 1995 due to increased income before taxes, offset partially by a decrease
in the effective income tax rate for 1996 to 36.5% from 37.3% in 1995. The
decrease in the effective tax rate was generally due to increases in income not
taxed for federal or state purposes and greater deductible expenses including
tax audit adjustments.
AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the
Company's consolidated statements of financial condition and the consolidated
statements of income for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 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 principally from average daily
balances and include non-accruing loans. The yields and costs include fees
which are considered adjustments to yields. Interest income on non-accruing
loans is reflected in the period it is collected and not in the period it is
earned. Such amounts are not material to net interest income or net change in
net interest income in any period. Interest income and average yield on
tax-exempt investment securities and tax-exempt securities held for sale are
presented on a before tax-equivalent basis, which reflects a federal income tax
rate of 35% for fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995.

(1) The yield on tax-exempt securities and loans is computed on a before
tax-equivalent basis using a federal tax rate of 35% in fiscal 1997, 1996
and 1995.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's total assets increased $236.1 million or 6.9% to $3.673
billion at June 30, 1997 from $3.437 billion at June 30, 1996. The Company's
ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 16.20% at June 30, 1997
compared to 16.26% at June 30, 1996.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased 26.7% or $11.7 million to $32.1
million at June 30, 1997 from $43.8 million at June 30, 1996 due to a decrease
in float at year end in the Company's accounts at their correspondent banks.
Securities available-for-sale (reflected at market value) increased 1.3%
or $8.9 million to $693.5 million at June 30, 1997 from $684.6 million at June
30, 1996, as the Company maintained the size of the portfolio to satisfy
regulatory liquidity requirements.
43
<PAGE> 45
Loans and leases, net, increased by 8.4% or $211.6 million to $2.745
billion at June 30, 1997 from $2.534 billion at June 30, 1996. The increase
was primarily in residential one-to-four family, multi-family and home equity
mortgage loans, as the Company continues its' strategy of more fully utilizing
its capital through balance sheet growth in excess of growth in capital. The
increase in loan and leases was funded with increased deposits and borrowings.
The growth in loan and leases was due to successfully expanding the loan
origination through target marketing. The Company generally sells fixed-rate
one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans originated, and retains
originated one-to-four-family ARMs and other loans for its loan portfolio.
Loan growth was principally in the one-to-four-family, residential multi-family
and home equity loan categories as shown in Note 5 to the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997,
because of the current interest rate environment, approximately $94.7 million
of the Company's total fixed-rate one-to-four family mortgage loans originated
of $262.5 million were originated with the intention to hold to maturity. The
Company believes that, in the current rate environment, the yield on fixed-rate
loans and the favorable differential between fixed-rate and ARM loan rates
makes the retention of some fixed-rate loans desirable.
The Company emphasizes high asset quality in both its investment portfolio
and its lending activities. Non-performing assets have ranged between 0.11%
and 0.22% as a percent of total assets during the last five years and were
0.12% of total assets at June 30, 1997. Total cumulative net charge-offs
during the last five years have been $4.1 million. During the year ended June
30, 1997, the Company's provision for loan and lease losses was $1.2 million,
while net charge-offs totaled $0.4 million. The Company's allowance for loan
and lease losses at June 30, 1997 totaled $40.6 million, which is 1.44% of
gross loans and leases, and 939.0% of non-performing loans. None of the
Company's investment securities or mortgage-backed and related securities are
categorized as non-performing assets.
In July 1996, the Company sold securities to fund the second purchase of
$25.0 million of single premium Bank-owned life insurance policies on its
officers. Increases in the cash surrender value are reported in non-interest
income. The Company is utilizing this vehicle to satisfy future employee
benefit obligations because of its attractive tax-equivalent return.
Deposits increased by 7.0% or $152.8 million to $2.353 billion at June 30,
1997 from $2.200 billion at June 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to
brokered money market deposits which increased $120.3 million. Certificates of
deposit grew by $32.6 million in fiscal 1997 with the growth occurring in
maturities of one to three years, partially offset by decreases in maturities
of one year or less. Retail money market deposits grew by $24.9 million.
Offsetting these increases were reductions in savings accounts of $15.0
million, and demand deposits of $10.9 million. Deposit mix and the levels of
inflows and outflows are influenced by the general level of interest rates, the
relationship between short-term and longer-term interest rates and the yields
available on alternative investment instruments. During fiscal 1997, the
Company maintained its deposit base by offering competitive interest rates on
its deposit products and by promoting its capital strength and financial
stability, offered retail certificate of deposit rates have been attractive
compared to alternative deposit and investment rates. The Company also
utilizes various marketing strategies to promote specific deposit products and
to acquire or to expand targeted customer deposits.
Borrowings increased $55.4 million to $620.3 million at June 30, 1997 from
$564.9 million at June 30, 1996 and consisted of FHLB-Chicago advances and
federal funds purchased. Federal funds purchased decreased by $180.0 million
to $75.0 million with a weighted average rate of 5.65% at June 30, 1997. In
addition to deposits, these borrowings have been used to maintain liquidity
levels sufficient to accommodate as well as compensate for normal deposit
fluctuations and various funding needs, primarily the recent loan growth.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
In an attempt to manage vulnerability to interest rate changes, management
closely monitors the Company's interest rate risk position. The Company
establishes its asset/liability management strategies through an Executive
Asset/Liability Committee which reports to the Board of Directors. The Company
seeks to manage its interest rate risk primarily through the structuring of its
balance sheet in order to manage its vulnerability to changes in interest rates
and enhance its income. Although the Company's assets and liabilities maturing
and repricing within one year are reasonably matched with a 8.32% negative gap,
at June 30, 1997, a negative "gap" of 21.36% and 15.61% exists at three and six
months compared to 25.21% and 18.06% at three months and six months,
respectively, at June 30, 1996.
Generally, the Company utilizes the following strategies to reduce its
interest rate risk when deemed appropriate: (i) the Company emphasizes the
origination and retention of ARMs; (ii) generally long-term fixed-rate
mortgages originated are securitized and sold into the secondary market; (iii)
the Company seeks to lengthen the maturities of deposits when deemed cost
effective through the pricing and promotion of certificates of deposit with
terms of one to five years; and iv) the Company maintains a significant
investment position in medium-term U.S. Government Agency and corporate notes,
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities and from time to
time, mutual funds. Although the Company emphasizes ARM originations and
invests in mortgage-backed and related securities with
44
<PAGE> 46
shorter average lives, the level of the Company's portfolio of fixed-rate
mortgage and home equity loans continues to affect its gap position. The
Company's ARM loans and ARM mortgage-backed and related securities also
typically have annual and lifetime caps on interest rate increases which reduces
the extent to which they protect the Company against interest rate risk when
rates are volatile. A significant portion of the Company's ARM portfolio has
one percent annual caps, and are indexed to "Cost of Funds Indices," which tend
to lag general market trends. Also, the Company has been originating and
holding for portfolio 3-year and 5-year ARM loans, and fully amortizing 5-year,
10-year and 15-year fixed-rate home equity loans and 10 to 30 year fixed-rate
residential mortgages, which will not reprice for some time. Further,
mortgage-backed and related securities are subject to reinvestment risk. For
example, during periods of falling interest rates, mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed and related securities are more likely to prepay, and the
Company may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from prepayments in loans,
securities or other assets with yields similar to those of the prepaying assets.
The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the
extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and
by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap." An asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period
if it matures or reprices within that time period. The interest rate
sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of
interest-earning assets anticipated, based upon certain prepayment assumptions,
to liquidate or reprice within a specific time period and the amount of
interest-bearing liabilities anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to
liquidate or reprice within that same time period. A gap is considered
positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount
of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the
amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest
rate sensitive assets.
The following Asset/Liability Management Schedule sets forth the amounts
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at June
30, 1997, which are anticipated by the Company to mature or reprice in each of
the periods shown, based on the information and assumptions set forth in the
notes below the schedule. This table does not reflect the impact of any
hedging activity or financial techniques utilized by the Company to mitigate
interest rate risk, because it would not have a material effect on the
Company's "gap" position. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of
analysis presented in the following table. For example, although certain
assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or repricing periods, they
may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. 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 ARM loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, have features
which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the
life of the asset. In addition, the proportion of ARM loans and
mortgage-backed and related securities in the Company's portfolios could
decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or fall below
current levels due to the exercise of conversion options and refinancing
activity. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and
early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed
in the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may
decrease as a result of interest rate increases.
At June 30, 1997, the Company had $1.884 billion of interest bearing
liabilities maturing or repricing within three months and $1.100 billion of
interest earning assets maturing or repricing within three months producing a
negative three month cumulative gap of $784.5 million. This represents a
negative cumulative gap ratio of (21.36)% (as a percent of total assets) and
indicates the liabilities of the Company are more interest rate sensitive than
the assets. Longer period gaps are positive (interest earning assets exceed
interest bearing liabilities) resulting in a decreasing cumulative negative gap
for longer time periods. The one year cumulative gap is a negative $305.8
million and the cumulative gap ratio is a negative (8.32)%.
Although the Company has a positive five year cumulative gap position of
$290.9 million, 7.92% cumulative gap ratio, the negative short-term gap
positions have a more immediate effect on earnings. Also, during periods of
rising interest rates, increases in the yield on interest-earning assets will
occur with a lag and to a lesser extent than may be anticipated from the gap
ratio due to the structuring of the Company's one year ARM loans utilizing
"Cost of Funds Indices" and 1% annual caps, as previously discussed.
Accordingly, the Company will most likely be adversely affected by rising
interest rates. When interest rates first decline, the lag in the downward
adjustment in the ARM loan yields will have a short-term positive effect;
however, once the decline in interest rates has reversed, the lag effect of the
"Cost of Funds Indices" causes the yields on the ARM loans to not increase even
though general interest rates begin to rise.

(1) Adjustable and floating rate assets and liabilities are included in the
period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in
the period in which they are due. Fixed-rate assets are included in the
periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid based on scheduled
amortization, in each case adjusted to take into account estimated
prepayments based on the Company's historical prepayment statistics. For
fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, annual
prepayment rates ranging from 10% to 28% were used.
(2) Balances have been reduced for undisbursed loan proceeds, unearned
discounts, deferred loan fees and allowances for loan losses, which
aggregated $85.2 million at June 30, 1997.
(3) Although the Company's interest bearing demand accounts, money market
accounts and passbook accounts generally are subject to immediate
withdrawal, management considers a certain amount of such accounts to be
core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities based on the
Company's retention of such deposits in changing interest rate
environments. However, in managing the Company's interest rate risk,
management considers these deposits to be interest rate sensitive because
the rates paid may vary with market conditions.

MARKET RISK
Out of numerous market risks that must be addressed, only interest rate
risk and credit risk are significant factors impacting the Company's
performance. The Company utilizes no derivatives to mitigate its credit risk,
relying instead on loan review and an adequate loan loss reserve (see
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation).
Interest rate risk is managed through the monitoring of the Company's GAP
(see Asset/Liability Management) and sensitivity to interest rate risk by
subjecting the Bank's balance sheet to interest rate shocks.
Rate shock is an instantaneous and complete adjustment in market rates of
various magnitude on a static or level balance sheet to determine the effect
such a change in rates would have on the Company's net interest income and net
income for the succeeding 12 months, and market value at risk.
The Company utilizes accepted industry-wide asset/liability modeling
software to determine the effect that an instantaneous shift in market interest
rates, with scenarios of interest rates increasing 100 and 200 basis points,
and decreasing 100 and 200 basis points. Due to the Company's negative GAP
position, net interest income, net income and market value of equity were
adversely affected when rate shocks with rates increasing were applied to the
Bank's balance sheet and favorably affected when decreasing rates were applied.
While a rate shock which affects all market rates equally and immediately is
not a normal market occurrence, it is a simplistic and objective means of
isolating the impact of interest rate changes. As of June 30, 1997, for the
succeeding twelve months net interest income decreased 5.1% and 13.6% and net
income decreased 7.1% and 20.0% when increasing shocks of 100 and 200 basis
points, respectively, were applied to a static balance sheet. The effect of
these rate shocks on the combined net value of existing assets and liabilities
was a decrease of 9.5% and 24.3% respectively.
The table below reflects the Company's expected cash flows and applicable
yields on current authorized cost balances of its interest sensitive assets and
liabilities taking into consideration expected prepayments of the Company's
long-term assets (primarily its mortgage-loans and mortgage backed securities)
and the resulting current fair market value after discounting expected cash
flows at existing market rates. (See also Footnote 15 in the Company's Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, proceeds
of principal and interest payments on loans, and principal and interest
payments on mortgage-backed and related securities and investment securities.
Proceeds from the sale of loans and investments are also a source of funds.
Maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investments are predictable
sources of funds. However, deposit flows and loan prepayments often are
influenced greatly by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. Prepayments on mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and related
securities are typically considerably higher than normal during periods when
there is a decline in interest rates. As a result, the proceeds from mortgage
prepayments would be invested in lower yielding loans or other investments
which have the effect of reducing interest income. In a period of rising
interest rates, it is anticipated that mortgage prepayments will decrease, and
proceeds from such prepayments would be invested in higher yielding loans or
investments and would have the effect of increasing interest income.
The Company's most liquid assets are cash, interest-bearing and
non-interest-bearing deposits, loans held for sale and investments
available-for-sale. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's
operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.
These assets at June 30, 1997, and 1996 totaled $760.4 million, and $768.7
million, respectively. The Company's ratio of these assets to total deposits
was 32.3% and 34.9% at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Liquidity management for the Company is both a daily and long-term
component of the Company's management strategy. The Company maintains
liquidity levels sufficient to accommodate normal deposit fluctuations and
various funding needs, and to meet its asset and liability management
objectives. Excess funds generally are invested in short-term investments such
as overnight deposits at the FHLB-Chicago. In the event the Company should
require funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, additional
sources of funds are available through the use of FHLB-Chicago advances,
reverse repurchase agreements, and the purchase of federal funds.
As a state chartered savings bank, Security Bank S.S.B. is required by
regulatory authorities to maintain strictly defined minimum primary and full
liquidity ratios. As of June 30, 1997, the bank was in compliance with the
required liquidity ratios.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") contains provisions for capital standards that require banks to have
a minimum 3% leverage ratio (Tier I capital to adjusted total assets), a
minimum 4% Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and a minimum 8% qualifying
total capital to risk-weighted assets. The Bank's regulatory capital exceeds
all minimum standards required under FDICIA.
As of June 30, 1997, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the
Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum
total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage ratio as set forth in
the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the institution's category.
A summary of the Bank's current regulatory capital amounts as of June 30, are
as follows:

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of
financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due
to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of
the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of the
assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the
effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move
in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services.
REGULATORY LEGISLATION
Deposits of the Bank currently are insured to applicable limits by the
FDIC under the Savings Associations Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The FDIC also
insures commercial bank deposits under the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").
Premium levels are set in order to permit the funds to be capitalized at a
level equal to 1.25% of total fund deposits. Assessment rate changes made in
1995 created a deposit insurance premium disparity between the two funds.
While most BIF members were paying only a nominal $2,000 annual premium, SAIF
members were paying average rates of 23.4 basis points of deposits.
On September 30, 1996, Congress passed legislation to address the deposit
insurance premium disparity. The "Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996" (the
"DIF Act") included as part of an Omnibus Appropriations Bill, directed the
FDIC to impose a special assessment on SAIF-assessable deposits at a rate that
would cause the SAIF to achieve its designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of
SAIF-insured deposits as of October 1, 1996. The DIF Act required that the
special assessment be applied against the SAIF-assessable deposits held by
institutions as of March 31, 1995. Pursuant to a final rule issued by the FDIC
on October 16, 1996, the special assessment rate was determined to be 65.7
basis points. This one-time special assessment fully capitalized the SAIF and
was collected on November 27, 1996.
The amount of the assessment to the Bank was $13.2 million dollars. The
special assessment was recorded on September 30, 1996 and had the effect of
reducing the Bank's earnings and capital by the after-tax amount of the
assessment as of the date of enactment, which was $7.9 million or 86 cents per
share. As described below, with the recapitalization of the SAIF, it is
currently anticipated that BIF and SAIF regular deposit insurance premiums will
be comparable and FDIC premium expense is expected to therefore be reduced in
future periods.* The DIF Act also imposes a separate assessment on both BIF and
SAIF member institutions related to the retirement of certain bond obligations,
which such assessments, as explained below, will be imposed at a greater rate
on SAIF institutions for a three year period beginning January 1, 1997.
The FDIC published a final rule on December 24, 1996, establishing a
permanent base assessment schedule for the SAIF and setting assessment rates at
a range of 4 to 31 basis points. The rule provides for an adjusted assessment
schedule reducing these rates by 4 basis points to reflect current conditions,
producing an effective SAIF assessment range of 0 to 27 basis points beginning
October 1, 1996. This assessment range is comparable to the current schedule
for BIF-institutions. A special interim rate schedule ranging from 18 to 27
basis points applied to SAIF member savings associations for the last quarter
of calendar year 1996, reflecting the fact that assessments related to certain
bond obligations of the Financial Corporation ("FICO"), which were issued to
resolve the savings and loan crisis in the 1980's, was included in the SAIF
rates for these institutions during that period. Because the Bank is a "Sasser
bank" (a bank that converted its charter from a savings association to a
savings bank, yet remained a SAIF member in accordance with the so-called
"Sasser Amendment"), it was not assessed this interim rate and received a
one-time credit in the amount of $0.8 million after-tax or $0.08 per share,
for its entire FDIC premium for the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
The DIF Act addresses other matters which will affect the Bank. The FICO
obligations will be shared by all insured depository institutions beginning
after December 31, 1996. This obligation had previously been the sole
responsibility of SAIF-insured institutions and had been funded through SAIF
assessments. The DIF Act eliminated the statutory link between FICO's
assessments and amounts authorized to be assessed by the SAIF, effective
January 1, 1997. All insured institutions will pay an annual assessment to
fund interest payments on the FICO bonds. Beginning in 1997, BIF-member
institutions will pay one-fifth the rate to be paid by SAIF members, for the
first three years. The annual FICO assessment is 1.3 and 6.5 basis points of
deposits for BIF and SAIF members, respectively. After January 1, 2000, BIF
and SAIF members will share the FICO payments on a pro-rata basis, which is
assessed at 2.4 basis points, until the bonds mature in 2017.
In addition, the DIF Act provides for the merger of BIF and SAIF into a
single Deposit Insurance Fund. This
50
<PAGE> 52
provision will be effective January 1, 1999, assuming that no insured depository
institution is a savings association on that date. This legislation
contemplates that the savings association charter will be phased out over that
period of time. The DIF Act also calls for the Secretary of the Treasury to
undertake a study concerning the development of a common charter for all insured
depository institutions and the abolition of separate and distinct charters for
banks and savings associations.
CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
On June 28, 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which is
effective in 1997. This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities based on consistent application of financial-components approach
that focuses on control. It distinguishes transfer of financial assets that
are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. On January 1, 1997, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 125. The adoption had no impact on the Company's
results of operations or financial position.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. The statement requires that a fair value
based method be used to value employee compensation plans that include stock
based awards. The statement allows an entity to either recognize compensation
expense under SFAS No. 123 or continue to account for such arrangements under
APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." If adoption of
SFAS No. 123 is not used in determining net income, the Company must disclose
in a footnote to the financial statements the pro-forma effect on net income
and earnings per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined
in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company continues to account for such
arrangements in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. The effect of adopting
this statement was immaterial to the Company's results of operations for fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997. (See Note 10(vi) to Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.)
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. This statement simplifies
the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in APB No. 15.
It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.
It also requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of
the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and
requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
Earlier application of this statement is not permitted. The Company has
determined that adoption will not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company.
In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. This statement requires that all items
that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
with the same prominence as other financial statements.
In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for the
way that public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises
report selected information about operating segments in interim financial
reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for historical information contained herein, the discussion in this
Annual Report on Form 10-k includes certain forward-looking statements based

SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997, 1996 AND 1995
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of Security Capital Corporation (the
"Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and to general practice within the banking, mortgage
banking, and other specialized industries, where applicable. The following is
a description of the more significant of those policies which the Company and
Security Bank S.S.B. (The "Bank") follow in preparing and presenting their
consolidated financial statements.
(a) Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts and balances of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In preparing
the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current year classifications.
(b) Statements of Cash Flows -- For purposes of the statements of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
interest-bearing deposits with the FHLB and other financial
institutions.
(c) Loans Held-for-Sale -- First mortgage loans held-for-sale are carried
at the lower of cost (less principal payments received) or market
value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or
current quoted investor yield requirements. Net fees and costs
associated with originating and acquiring mortgage loans
held-for-sale are deferred and are included in the basis for
determining the gain or loss on sales of such loans. Gains and
losses on sales and changes in market value are included in
non-interest income. Cost of loans sold is determined on a specific
identification basis and gains and losses on sales are recognized at
the trade dates.
(d) Securities -- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" was adopted on July 1, 1994. SFAS No. 115 expands the
use of fair value accounting for securities except it retains the
use of the amortized cost method for investments the Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. SFAS No. 115
requires the classification of debt and equity securities into one of
three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading.
Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost.
Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are
included in earnings. Unrealized holding gains and losses for
available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported
as an amount, net of tax as a separate component of equity. The
Company has no securities classified as trading. The realized gain
or loss on the sale of securities is determined based on the specific
identification method.
(e) Loans and Leases -- Loans and leases are carried at their unpaid
principal balances. Interest on loans, operating leases and
contracts is included in income in the period earned. Income on
finance leases is recognized on a basis that generally approximates
level yield on the outstanding lease receivable balance.
Loans for which payments are contractually past due 90 days or more
and other loans which management has doubt as to their collection in
full, are placed on non-accrual status. Accrued interest on such
loans is charged against interest income.
Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring loans
are deferred and amortized over the lives of the loans. Discounts
and premiums on loans purchased, net deferred fees and unearned
discounts, which are considered yield adjustments, are amortized
using methods which approximate a level yield over the estimated
remaining lives of the loans.

SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(f) Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses -- The allowance for loan and
lease losses is maintained at a level adequate to provide for
potential losses through charges to operating expense. Management
determines the adequacy of the allowance based upon past loss
experience, growth and composition of the loan and lease portfolio
and evaluation of current economic conditions. In connection with
the determination of the allowance for such losses, management
obtains independent appraisals for significant properties which
collateralize loans and leases. With respect to loans which are
deemed impaired, the calculation of reserve levels is based upon the
discounted present value of expected cash flows received from debtor
or other measures of value such as market prices or collateral
values. Management believes that the allowance for loan and lease
losses is adequate. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part
of their examination process, periodically review the Company's
allowance for losses. Such agencies may require the Company to
recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examination.
(g) Foreclosed Properties -- Real estate properties acquired through loan
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at
the lower of fair value of the asset, less estimated costs to sell
the asset or the cost of the asset as of the date of foreclosure.
Costs relating to development or improvement of property are
capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed.
Valuations are periodically performed by management and independent
third parties, and an allowance for loss is established by a charge
to expense if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value
less estimated costs to sell.
(h) Premises and Equipment -- Depreciation and amortization of premises
and equipment are provided on the straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of leasehold
improvements is amortized on the straight-line basis over the
shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life. Expenditures for
normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective
accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recorded in the
consolidated statements of income.
(i) Federal Home Loan Bank Stock -- The Company's investment in FHLB
stock at June 30, 1997 and 1996 meets the minimum amount required by
current regulations and is carried at cost which is its redeemable
(fair) value since the market for this stock is limited.
(j) Income Taxes -- The Company and its subsidiaries file one consolidated
Federal income tax return. Federal income tax expense (benefit) is
allocated to each subsidiary based on an intercompany tax sharing
agreement. Each member of the consolidated group files separate
state and local income or franchise tax returns in the various
localities in which they operate.
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
(k) Interest Rate Contracts -- Interest rate swap agreements, forward and
future contracts and options may be used from time to time to manage
interest rate exposure by hedging specific assets and liabilities.
Gains and losses on these contracts are deferred and amortized to
income over the life of assets and liabilities hedged. Should any
such contracts not meet the criteria of a hedge, they would be marked
to market and gains and losses would be recognized in income in the
current period.
(l) Employee Stock Ownership Plan -- In November, 1993, the Accounting
Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position ("SOP")
93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans."
The provisions of SOP 93-6 were adopted by the Company effective
July 1, 1994, which prospectively changed the method used to compute
compensation expense attributable to the allocation of common stock
by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"). For the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 expense has been
computed on the basis of shares allocated by the ESOP multiplied by
the average fair value of the allocated shares during the period.
SOP 93-6 also requires that only shares which have been allocated to
participant accounts be considered outstanding for earnings per share
computations.

SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(m) Mortgage Servicing Rights -- The value of mortgage servicing
rights is amortized in relation to the servicing revenue expected to
be earned. The evaluation of mortgage servicing rights takes into
consideration certain risk characteristics including loan type, note
rate, prepayment trends and external market factors.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities," which is
effective in 1997. This statement provides accounting and reporting
standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishment of liabilities based on consistent application of
financial-components approach that focuses on control. This statement
was adopted on January 1,1997. The effect of adopting this statement
would not be material to Security's results of operations or
financial condition.
(n) Stock based Compensation Plans -- The Company had various stock
based compensation plans that authorize the granting of stock
options, restricted stock, and other stock based awards to eligible
employees. The Company has elected to not adopt the recognition
provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation"
which requires a fair-value based method of accounting for stock
options and equity awards and will continue to follow APB No. 25
"Accounting for Stock Issued & Employees" and related interpretations
to account for its stock based compensation plans.
(o) Pending Accounting Changes -- In February 1997, The Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share," which is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. This statement simplifies the
standards for computing earnings per share previously found in APB
No. 15. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of
basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all
entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS
computation. Earlier application of this statement is not permitted.
The Company has determined that adoption will not have a material
effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. This statement requires that all items that are
required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement
establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises
report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports
issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major
customers.
(p) Other-Non-Interest Expense -- Included with other expenses for fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996, is a $4.5 million pre-tax provision
associated with litigation.
(2) MERGER AGREEMENT WITH MARSHALL & ILSLEY CORPORATION
On March 15, 1997, the Company announced it had signed a definitive merger
agreement with Marshall & Ilsley Corporation providing for the merger of the
Company with and into Marshall & Ilsley Corporation. On July 10, 1997, the
Company announced that it had received shareholder and the required regulatory
approvals. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Companies
anticipate the merger will be completed on or about October 1, 1997.

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the period by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding. Stock options are regarded as common stock equivalents and are,
therefore, considered in per share calculations. Common stock equivalents are
computed using the treasury stock method. The computation of net income per
common share is as follows:

the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Federal funds purchased totaled $75,000,000
and $255,000,000 at June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively, and are due
within 12 months. The Company is required to maintain unencumbered first
mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities such that the outstanding
balance of FHLB advances does not exceed 60% of the book value of this
collateral. The FHLB borrowings may not be prepaid. At June 30, 1997, the
Company estimates that potential borrowings totaling approximately $1.25 billion
would be supportable with the Company's current asset base.
The maximum amount of borrowings at any month-end during the years ended June
30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 was approximately $700.0 million and $564.9 million,
respectively. The approximate average amount outstanding was $621.8 million

(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company and Bank provide various pension, non-qualified and stock-based
benefit plans to officers, employees and directors. A description of the
various plan provisions, accrued liability, and the expense relative to these
plans follows:
(I) DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN - The Bank maintains the Security Bank
S.S.B. Employees' Pension Plan ("Pension Plan") and related trust for the
benefit of substantially all full-time employees of the Bank. All employees
who are at least age 21 and who have completed 12 months and at least 1,000
hours of service are automatically eligible to participate. Upon attainment
of normal retirement age (age 65), a participant is entitled to a benefit of
up to 40% of the participant's average annual compensation based on a
ten-year salary history plus 30% of compensation in excess of a participant's
covered compensation. The Bank's policy is to fund the trust annually in
accordance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended, ("ERISA"). A summary of the funding status and
amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition follows:

obligations, life insurance contracts, and common stock of the Company. As
of June 30, 1997, 100,000 shares of stock of the Company were held in plan
assets with a market value of $9.5 million.
In connection with the Pension Plan, the Bank maintains the Security Bank
S.S.B. Supplemental Pension Plan ("Supplemental Plan") which provides
benefits to certain officers in excess of those allowable under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Internal Revenue Code"). The Supplemental
Plan provides similar benefits to the Pension Plan with certain enhancements,
including no adjustment for covered compensation, accrual of benefits ratably
over 20 years, unreduced early retirement opportunity at age 62 and a five
year compensation average which was formerly used by the Pension Plan prior
to recent changes for qualification under the Internal Revenue Service.
Expense under the Supplemental Plan totaled approximately $1.2 million, $1.1
million, and $1.5 million during the years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The discounted liability is included in other
liabilities, and totaled approximately $11.1 million and $10.7 million at
June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Assets in the approximate amount of
the accrued liability are held in a grantor trust maintained by Firstar Trust
Company. The assets are initially invested in short-term cash equivalent
instruments and are included in other assets in the consolidated statement of
financial condition at June 30, 1997.
(II) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION 401(K) PLAN - The Bank provides the Security 401(k)
Plan ("401(k) Plan") to all full-time employees of the Bank and its
subsidiaries who have attained age 21 and completed twelve months and at
least 1000 hours of service each year. The 401(k) Plan permits participants
to make voluntary tax deferred contributions of up to 15% of annual
compensation subject to various limitations. The Bank and its subsidiaries
make discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions as determined
from time to time. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and
1995, the Bank and its subsidiaries made discretionary contributions of
approximately $184,000, $180,000 and $220,000, respectively. As of June 30,
1997, the plan assets totaling $34.3 million included approximately 290,306
shares of common stock of the Company with a market value of $27.4 million.
(III) DEFINED CONTRIBUTION ESOP PLAN - Effective January 1, 1993, the Bank
established the Security Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") for all
full-time employees of the Bank and its subsidiaries who have attained age 21
and completed one year of service during which they worked at least 1000
hours. The ESOP borrowed $18.9 million from the Company to purchase 756,700
shares of Common Stock. The debt bears interest at 6% and is collateralized
by the shares of common stock held by the ESOP. The Bank and its
subsidiaries make scheduled discretionary cash contributions to the ESOP
sufficient to amortize the principal and pay interest on the loan over a
period of 15 years. The unpaid balance of the ESOP loan at June 30, 1997 was
$14.5 million. Stockholders' equity is reduced by the cost of uncommitted
ESOP shares. Expense is equal to the shares committed at market value. As
shares are committed, the reduction in stockholders' equity decreases by the
cost of those shares. The difference between the cost and market value of
the shares committed is a credit to Paid in Capital . ESOP expense for the
years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $3.6 million, $2.9
million and $2.3 million, respectively.
Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account for allocation
among participants as the loan is repaid. During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1997, approximately 50,400 shares were released from the suspense
account. Approximately 554,851 shares were unallocated at June 30, 1997 with
a market value of $52.4 million. As of June 30, 1997, there were
approximately 175,436 allocated shares with a market value of $16.6 million.

(IV) DIRECTORS' RETIREMENT PLAN - During 1993, the Bank established a
nonqualified Directors' Retirement Plan to provide retirement benefits
to outside directors of the Bank. This Plan provides for monthly
payments for a period of 10 years to be made to the Bank's outside
directors upon reaching age 65 and retirement from the Board. The total
accrued obligation under the Plan included in other liabilities is $3.0
million at June 30, 1997. During 1994, assets of this amount were
transferred to a grantor trust maintained by the Marshall & Ilsley Trust
Company. The assets, which are included at cost in other assets in the
consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 1997, are
invested primarily in common stock of the Company and cash equivalents.
As of June 30, 1997, 96,000 shares were held in the plan with a market
value of $9.1 million. No expense has been recorded for the years ended
June 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995.
(V) BANK INCENTIVE PLAN - The Bank has established the Security Bank
S.S.B. Bank Incentive Plan ("BIP") for officers and employees of the
Bank. The Bank contributed approximately $13.5 million to fund the
purchase of 540,500 shares of common stock issued in the conversion.
Approximately 427,800 shares were awarded to officers of the Bank at
conversion with 112,700 shares reserved for future grants. Recipients
of the shares became vested in such shares of common stock 33 %
commencing on the conversion date and 33 % on each anniversary date of
the conversion for the following two years. The aggregate purchase
price of these shares was amortized as compensation expense over the
periods in which recipients became vested. Compensation expense of
approximately $1.8 million and $3.6 million was recognized in the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. No compensation
expense was recognized in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
(VI) STOCK OPTION PLANS - The Company has stock option plans for the
benefit of directors, officers and employees of the Bank. At June 30,
1997, there were options to purchase 71,100 shares available for future
grant. All the options of the Director's Plan have been granted as of
June 30, 1997. The option exercise price cannot be less than the fair
value of the underlying common stock as of the date of the option grant,
and the maximum term cannot exceed ten years. The stock options awarded
to the directors are exercisable on a cumulative basis in equal
installments, commencing in December 1993 and in each December for the
following two years. The stock options awarded to officers and
employees are exercisable on a cumulative basis in installments over two
to five years.
The following table summarizes option activity for the years ended June

For purposes of providing the pro-forma disclosures required under SFAS No.
123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" the fair value of stock options
granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The per
share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 1997 and
1996 was $20.18 and $18.70 on the date of grant with the following
weighted-average assumptions: 1997-expected dividend yield 1.03%, risk-free
interest rate of 6.82%, an expected life of 7 years and expected volatility
of 17%; 1996-expected dividend yield 1.03%, risk-free interest rate of 5.74%,
an expected life of 7 years and expected volatility of 17%.
Had compensation cost for the Corporation's stock-based plans been determined
in accordance with SFAS No. 123, net income would have been $44.8 million in
1997 and $32.4 million in 1996. Earnings per share would have been $4.81 in
1997 and $3.40 in 1996. This pro-forma net income reflects only options
granted in 1997 and 1996. Therefore, the full impact of calculating
compensation cost under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro-forma net
income amounts.
(VII) POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS - The Bank offers certain limited
post-retirement health care benefits to employees and directors which
requires the recording of annual expense for annual service cost,
interest, amortization of prior service cost, actuarial gains or losses,
amortization of the unrecognized obligation existing at the date of
application, and an adjustment for actual return on plan assets, if any.
The following table presents the various components of the accumulated
post-retirement health obligation and service cost for the years ended June
30, 1997 and 1996.

For measurement purposes, the annual rate of increase on the per capita cost
of health care benefits was 11% for fiscal year-end 1997, gradually declining
to 6.5% in 2003, and remaining constant thereafter. The health care trend
rate has an effect on the amounts reported. To illustrate, increasing the
health care trend rate by one percentage point in each year would increase
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of June 30, 1997 by
$132,000, and the service cost and interest cost by $12,000.
(VIII) DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS - The Bank maintains deferred compensation
plans for certain officers and directors. These plans allow officers
and directors to annually elect deferrals of salary, bonuses, and
directors fees. The deferred compensation plans also provide for
additional benefits under the 401(k) and ESOP plans which are limited
under the Internal Revenue Code. The maximum compensation for the
determination of these benefits is $600,000. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, expenses of approximately $371,000,
$283,000 and $219,000, respectively, were incurred for these additional
benefits.
The accrued liability as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 shown in the
Statements of Financial Condition was approximately $6.1 million and
$7.2 million, respectively. During 1996, assets in the approximate
amount of the accrued liability were transferred to a grantor trust
maintained by Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company. The assets are
primarily invested in short-term cash equivalents and common stock of
the Company. As of June 30, 1997, approximately 31,900 shares of
common stock of the Company were held in the plan with a market value
of $3.0 million. The assets are included in other assets in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at June 30, 1997.

(12) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Under the Internal Revenue Code and Wisconsin Statutes, the Company was
permitted to deduct an annual addition to a reserve for bad debts for tax years
ending in or before 1996. This amount differed from the provision for loan and
lease losses recorded for financial accounting purposes. Bad debt deductions
for income tax purposes were included in taxable income of later years only if
the bad debt reserves were used for purposes other than to absorb bad debt
losses. Because the Company does not intend to use the reserve for purposes
other than to absorb losses, no deferred income taxes were provided.
Stockholders' equity at June 30, 1997 included approximately $104.4 million for
which no deferred federal or state income taxes were provided. The restricted
amounts may only be used to absorb losses on loans and real estate owned and
are not related to the future amounts of losses actually anticipated. Under
SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes were provided on additions to the tax
reserve for bad debts.
Legislation repealed the bad debt reserve method beginning July 1, 1996.
Except in the unlikely event of a partial or complete liquidation of the Bank,
the Bank will not be required to recapture into income any of the restricted
amounts previously deducted.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA") contains
provisions for capital standards that require a minimum 3.0% Tier I leverage
capital ratio, a minimum 4.0% Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets capital
ratio and a minimum 8.0% qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets
capital ratio. The Bank's regulatory capital exceeds all minimum standards
required under FDICIA.
A Wisconsin state-chartered savings bank is required by state law to maintain
minimum net worth in an amount equal to at least 6.0% of its unconsolidated
total assets. At June 30, 1997, the Bank's net worth was approximately $467.0
million which exceeds the State of Wisconsin's minimum net worth requirements
by approximately $254.0 million.
At the time of conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in the
amount of $312.8 million, which was equal to its retained earnings as of
December 30, 1993. The liquidation account is established to provide a limited
priority claim to the assets of the Bank to qualified depositors (Eligible
Account Holders) at December 30, 1993 who continue to maintain those deposits
at the Bank after conversion. In the unlikely event of a complete liquidation
of the Bank, and only in such event, each Eligible Account Holder would receive
from the liquidation account a liquidation distribution based on his or her
proportionate share of the then remaining qualifying deposits.

(13) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND OTHER COMMITMENTS
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and
to comply with certain loan servicing agreements. These financial instruments
include commitments to originate, purchase and sell loans, and pool advances to
certain investors and option contracts. The instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized
in the consolidated financial statements.

SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company and its subsidiaries had financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
JUNE 30,
------------------
1997 1996
-------- --------
<S> <C> <C>
(In thousands)
Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent
credit risk are as follows:
Commitments to extend credit:
Fixed-rate loans $ 19,642 $ 21,064
Variable-rate loans 50,038 57,189
Commitments to sell loans under:
Mandatory commitments 44,073 18,533
Standby commitments 52,445 44,841
Unused and open-ended consumer lines of credit 194,851 183,588
</TABLE>
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and generally require a fee. Fixed-rate loan commitments have interest rates
ranging from 6.90% to 10.50% and 7.0% to 10.25% at June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. As some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The
Company evaluates the credit worthiness of each customer on a case by case
basis. The Company generally extends credit only on a secured basis.
Collateral obtained varies, but consists primarily of real estate.
Commitments to originate loans also have off-balance sheet market risk to the
extent that the Company does not have matching commitments to sell these loans.
These commitments are valued at the lower of cost or market and could result
in valuation adjustments in a rising interest rate environment. Forward cash
mandatory commitments to sell loans have off-balance sheet market risk to the
extent the Company does not have available loans in inventory to fill those
commitments which may require the Company to purchase loans in the open market.
Loans are sold without recourse.
The unused and open-ended consumer lines of credit are also conditional
commitments issued by the Company for extensions of credit such as home equity,
auto, credit card and other consumer-type financing. The credit risk involved
in extending the consumer lines of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held for these
commitments, may include, but may not be limited to real estate, investment
securities and Company deposits.
Additionally, the Company's mortgage banking subsidiary from time to time uses
options on financial futures to minimize interest rate risk of the mortgage
loan pipeline. Use of these options carries the risk associated with
fluctuations of the interest rates of the underlying securities versus the
fluctuations of the interest rates of the specific mortgage loans being hedged.
Put option contracts purchased represent the notional amounts of the right to
sell mortgage-backed securities at a future date. The Company may also receive
a premium or fee for a call option contract written which gives the purchaser
the right to buy mortgage-backed securities within a specified time period for
a specified price or yield.
The Company is required to submit to certain investors, primarily the
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation ("FHLMC"), and Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"),
guaranteed principal and interest payments regardless of actual collection from
the underlying mortgages. Management believes they have established adequate
loss reserves which are included in other liabilities, on such mortgages.
The Bank's business activity is primarily with customers located within their
branch locations which is primarily within the State of Wisconsin.
Additionally, other subsidiaries of the Company grant residential mortgage
loans to customers where their offices are located. Offices are located in
Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Kansas, Kentucky and Minnesota.

Various legal proceedings involving the Company are pending. Management, based
on the advice of legal counsel, does not believe the lawsuits will have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
(15) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of the Financial Instruments" ("SFAS No. 107"), requires disclosure of
fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable
to estimate that value, whether or not recognized in the statements of
financial condition. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation
techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions
used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that
regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot necessarily be sustained by
comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in
immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain
financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
represent, and should not be interpreted, as representing the underlying value
of the Company.
The Company does not routinely measure the market value of certain of its
financial instruments because such measurements represent point-in-time
estimates of value. It is not the intent of the Company to liquidate and
therefore realize the difference between market value and carrying value, and
even if it were, there is no assurance that the estimated market values could
be realized. Thus, the information presented may not be relevant to predicting
the Company's future earnings or cash flows.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
CASH EQUIVALENTS -- The carrying amounts of these assets reported in
the statements of financial condition approximate their fair values.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES --
Fair values for these assets are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
LOANS -- For variable-rate mortgage loans that reprice regularly and
have not experienced a significant change in credit risk, fair values
are based on carrying values. The fair value of fixed-rate residential
mortgage loans held for investment, commerical real estate loans,
multi-family residential property mortgage loans, consumer loans and
commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For residential
construction loans, fair values are based on carrying values due to
short-term nature of the loans. The carrying amount of accrued interest
approximates its fair value.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK -- FHLB stock is carried at cost which is
its redeemable (fair) value since the market for the stock is limited.
76
<PAGE> 78
SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DEPOSITS -- The fair values disclosed for demand accounts, passbook
accounts and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount
payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying value amounts).
The fair values of fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a
discounted cash flow calculation that applies current incremental interest
rates being offered on certificates of deposits to a schedule of aggregated
expected monthly maturities of the outstanding certificates of deposit.
BORROWINGS -- The fair value of the Company's long-term borrowings are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company's
current incremental borrowing rates for similar types and maturities of
instruments.
BANK-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE -- The fair value of the Bank-owned life
insurance represents the cash surrender value as of the report date.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ITEMS -- The estimated fair values of the Company's
off-balance-sheet items are not material to the fair value of financial
instruments included in the statement of financial condition, and therefore,
are not included in the following schedule. The fair value of unused and
open-ended consumer lines of credit was estimated using fees currently being
charged and does not include the value that relates to estimated cash flows
from new loans generated from existing lines of credit. The fair value of
commitments to extend credit was estimated using fees currently charged to
enter into such agreements. The fair value of commitments to sell loans is
based on the current market rates for such loans.
The carrying amount and fair value of the Company's financial instruments
consist of the following at June 30, 1997 and 1996:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Security Capital Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of Security Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of
June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended June 30, 1997. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security
Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the Company did not pay
separate compensation to its executive officers. Separate compensation will
not be paid to executive officers of the Company until such time as the
executive officers of the Company devote significant time to separate
management of Company affairs, which is not expected to occur until the Company
becomes actively involved in additional business beyond the Bank. The Company
is a party to the employment agreements between the Bank and those executive
officers of the Company who also serve as executive officers of the Bank. See
"-Employment Agreements." The Company may assume some portion of the Bank's
compensation obligation under the employment agreements at such time as the
executive officers of the Company devote significant time to separate
management of Company affairs.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Bank is a party to employment agreements with a term ending on
December 31, 1997, with Messrs. Argue, Kamin, Schaefer, Schoendorf, Schuett,
Jr. and Schuett, Sr.. Additionally, in the Agreement and Plan of Merger By and
Between Security Capital Corporation ("Security") and Marshall & Ilsley
Corporation ("M&I"), dated as of March 14, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), M&I
has agreed that Security may reinstate an employment agreement with Mr. Gordon
which will contain the same conditions as the employment agreements described
in the previous sentence (amended as described below). These seven agreements
will be referred to hereafter collectively as the "Employment Agreements."
Under the Employment Agreements, the current base salaries for Messrs.
Argue, Kamin, Schaefer, Schoendorf, Schuett, Jr. and Schuett, Sr. are $145,000,
$130,000, $560,000, $200,000, $100,000 and $675,000, respectively. Base
salaries may be increased by the Bank's Board of Directors, but may not be
reduced except as part of a general pro rata reduction in compensation for all
executive officers. In addition to base salary, the agreements provide for
payments from other Bank incentive compensation plans, and provide for other
benefits, including participation in any group health, life, disability or
similar insurance program and in any pension, profit-sharing, employee stock
ownership plan, deferred compensation, 401 (k) or other retirement plans
maintained by the Bank. The agreements also provide for participation in any
stock-based incentive programs made available to executive officers of the
Bank.
Prior to taking into account the reductions described below, the
Employment Agreements provide that, in the event of termination of the
executive's employment within twelve months following a "change in control" of
Security, the executive would be entitled to receive (a) severance pay based on
the average annual base salary and bonus over the previous five calendar years,
multiplied by the time remaining to the end of the term of the Employment
Agreement, with a minimum value of 2.99 times Total Compensation (defined to
include W-2 compensation plus deferrals) for the last calendar year, which
minimum would be reduced, however, to the maximum amount necessary to avoid
imposition of the 20% golden parachute excise tax, and (b) an additional
retirement benefit (relevant for Messrs. Argue, Gordon and Schuett, Jr., who
have not accumulated full service credit) calculated under Security' retirement
plans, determined as if the executive was fully vested and had accumulated
additional service credit until the end of the employment term on December 31,
1997 at a rate of Total Compensation equal to the executive's Total
Compensation immediately preceding the date of termination.
Under the agreements, a "Change in Control" is generally defined to
include any change in control required to be reported under the federal
securities laws as well as (i) the acquisition by any person of 20% or more of
the Company's outstanding voting securities, or (ii) a change in a majority of
the directors of the Company during any two-year period without the approval of
at least two-thirds of the persons who were directors at the beginning of such
period. Consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement
(the "Merger") will constitute a "change in control" for purposes of the
Employment Agreements. In connection with the Merger, the parties have agreed
(i) with the consent of the affected parties, that the multiple used to
determine the severance payments for Messrs. Schuett, Sr., Schaefer and
Schoendorf will be reduced from 2.99 to 1 and (ii) with the consent of all
executives with Employment Agreements, that the total amount paid pursuant to
the Employment Agreements, when added to the other "parachute payments" (within
the meaning of Section 280G(b) (2) (A) of the Code) which result from the
"change in control," will be reduced, if necessary, to avoid imposition of the
20% golden parachute excise tax. In the Merger Agreement, in consideration for
the concessions agreed to by the executives, M&I has agreed to pay each of the
executives, within 30 days following the Effective Time (as defined in the
Merger Agreement), the severance payments described in clause (a) above to
which he is entitled (as reduced in the case of Messrs. Schuett, Sr., Schaefer
and Schoendorf) even if his employment is not terminated.

ITEM 13
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Current federal law requires that all loans or extensions of credit to
officers and directors must be made on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with the general public and must not involve more than the normal
risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. In addition, loans
made to a director or executive officer in excess of the greater of $25,000 or
5% of the Bank's capital and surplus (up to a maximum of $500,000) must be
approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of
Directors.
The Bank's policy provides that all loans or extensions of credit to
executive officers and directors are to be made in the ordinary course of
business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
other persons, and may not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility
or present other unfavorable features. All loans since enactment of the
current laws were made by the Bank in the ordinary course of business and were
not made with favorable terms nor involved more than the normal risk of
collectibility or presented unfavorable features.
The following table summarizes loans made by the Bank on preferential
terms to executive officers, directors and their associates, prior to the
enactment of current laws, whose aggregate indebtedness to the Bank exceeded
$60,000 at any time since July 1, 1996. All loans or extensions of credit to
executive officers and directors and their associates were current as of June
30, 1997.
