Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The financial information of First Mutual Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company") included herein is unaudited; however, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
periods.
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.
The results of the interim period ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997.
(2) Conversion
On June 30, 1995, First Mutual Bank, S.B. (the "Bank") converted
from a state-chartered mutual savings bank to a state-chartered
stock savings bank. The Bank issued all of its common stock to
the Company and at the same time the Company issued 4,700,000
shares of common stock at $10.00 per share to the ESOP, certain
depositors of the Bank, and certain members of the general
public, all pursuant to a plan of conversion (the "Conversion").
The ESOP purchased 376,000 shares of common stock representing 8%
of the total issued shares at a price of $10.00 per share. The
ESOP borrowed $3,760,000 from the Company to purchase the stock
using the stock as collateral for the loan. The loan is to be
repaid principally from the Bank's contributions to the ESOP over
a period of up to 10 years.
(3) Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
Primary and fully diluted earnings per share were computed by
dividing net income by 3,551,335, and 3,648,647 respectively,
the weighted average number of net shares of common stock
outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 1997. There
were 407,600 outstanding stock options during the entire quarter
at an exercise price of $11.75 per share.
Page 7
<PAGE>
(4) Accounting Changes
On March 3, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement 128, Earnings Per Share, which is effective for
financial statements beginning with year end 1997. Statement 128
simplifies the calculation of earnings per share (EPS) by
replacing primary EPS with basic EPS. It also requires dual
presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for entities with
complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and
is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders
by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that
could share in earnings, such as stock options, warrants or other
common stock equivalents. The Company expects Statement 128 to
have little impact on its earnings per share calculations in
future years, other than changing terminology from primary EPS to
basic EPS. All prior period EPS data will be restated to conform
with the new presentation.
In June, 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released
SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Extinguishments of
Liabilities." SFAS No. 125 provides accounting and reporting
standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities. SFAS No. 125 requires a
consistent application of a financial-components approach that
focuses on control. Under that approach, after a transfer of
financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and
servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. SFAS No. 125
also supersedes SFAS No. 122 and requires that servicing assets
and liabilities be subsequently measured by amortization in
proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing
income or loss and requires assessment for asset impairment or
increases obligation based on their fair values. SFAS No. 125
applies to transfers and extinguishments occurring after December
31, 1996 and early or retroactive application is not permitted.
Management anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 125 will not
have a material impact on the financial position or results of
operations of the Bank.
(5) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition
Total assets increased $92.8 million, or 28.0%, to $424.6 million
at March 31, 1997, from $331.8 million at December 31, 1996,
primarily as a result of acquiring three branch offices in
Pontiac, Lincoln, and Taylorville, Illinois (the "Branch
Acquisitions") from First of America Bank - Illinois, N.A. on
January 3, 1997.
The following summarizes the assets purchased and liabilities
assumed as a result of the Branch Acquisitions.

Loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale) increased $18.1
million, or 6.4%, to $300.2 million at March 31, 1997, from
$282.1 million at December 31, 1996, as a result of the Branch
Acquisitions in addition to the excess of loan originations
versus repayments during the three month period. A total of $9.9
million of loans receivable were acquired as a result of the
Branch Acquisitions.
Interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions and
securities held-to maturity and available for sale increased
$59.7 million, or 201.0%, to $89.4 million at March 31, 1997 from
$29.7 million at December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily
due to the investment of the proceeds received as a result of the
Branch Acquisitions.
Premises and equipment increased $2.5 million, or 61.0%, to $6.6
million at March 31, 1997, from $4.1 million at December 31,
1996, primarily as a result of the Branch Acquisitions, which
resulted in an additional $2.7 million in premises and equipment.
Page 9
<PAGE>
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangibles increased to $13.1 million
from $0 as a result of the Branch Acquisitions.
Deposits increased $134.9 million, or 66.5%, to $337.8 million at
March 31, 1997, from $202.9 million at December 31, 1996,
primarily as a result of the Branch Acquisitions. $145.5 million
in deposits were acquired in the acquisition.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $38.8 million,
or 61.8%, to $24.0 million at March 31, 1997, from $62.8 million
at December 31, 1996, primarily as a result of the use of
proceeds from the Branch Acquisitions to repay outstanding
advances.
Non-performing assets were $719,000 as of March 31, 1997,
compared to $577,000 as of December 31, 1996. The following
table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing
assets:

In the three months ended March 31, 1997, 346,930 shares of
common stock, or 7.4% of the 4,700,000 shares issued at the time
of the conversion, were purchased by the Company in open market
transactions at an average price of $15.59 per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, funds
received from the sale, amortization, and prepayment of loans,
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and funds provided from
operations. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively
predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments
Page 10
<PAGE>
are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. The Company also borrows funds from
the Federal Home Loan Bank based on need, comparative costs, and
availability at the time. Assets of the Company qualifying for
regulatory liquidity totaled $90.3 million at March 31, 1997.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had total equity capital of
$56.9 million and the Bank had total equity capital of $51.3
million. All the minimum levels of regulatory capital required
by the Federal Reserve Board for the Company and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation for the Bank were met.
Results of Operations
General. Net income for the three month ended March 31, 1997,
was $81,000 compared to $758,000 for the same period in 1996.
The decrease was primarily due to an increase in non-interest
expense of $1,385,000 related primarily to increased compensation
and benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing,
amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles, and other
non-interest expenses. These additional expenses were primarily
due to the costs of adding new products and services, the Branch
Acquisitions, and the addition of two supermarket branch
facilities in the Decatur area. The increase in non-interest
expense was partially offset by an increase in net interest
income of $283,000, or 11.1%, and an increase in non-interest
income of $84,000 or 31.2%.
Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, increased $2.2 million or 44.0%, from the period
ended March 31, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the
increase in average earning assets of $126.3 million, or 46.5%,
to $398.1 million for the current three month period from $271.8
million for the earlier three month period, reflecting primarily
the investment of proceeds from the Branch Acquisitions. This
was partially offset by the decrease in the average yield on
earning assets to 7.27% from 7.38% in the earlier period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1.9 million, or
76.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to
the same period in 1996, primarily due to the increase in average
interest paying liabilities, which increased $160.9 million, or
78.6%, for the three month period. The increase in the average
paying liabilities was primarily due to the Branch Acquisitions.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $283,000, or
11.1%, for the current three month period versus the earlier
three month period. The increase was primarily due to the
increase in average earning assets of $126.3 million, which was
partially offset by the $160.9 million increase in average paying
Page 11
<PAGE>
liabilities during the current period versus the earlier period.
Provisions for Loan Losses. The Bank maintains an allowance for
loan losses based upon management's periodic evaluation of known
and inherent risks in the loan portfolio including commercial
real estate and commercial business loans, the Bank's past loss
experience, adverse situations that may affect borrowers' ability
to repay loans, estimated value of underlying loan collateral,
current and to a lesser extent, expected future economic
conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 1997, a
$160,000 provision for loan losses was recorded as a result of
the overall increase in the loan portfolio, changes in the loan
portfolio mix, especially the increase in commercial and consumer
loans, and to the net charge-offs incurred during the period.
Bank management made a $25,000 provision to the allowance for
loan losses for the same period in 1996. The Bank's ratio of
allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 208.0% at
March 31, 1997, compared to 248.8% at December 31, 1996.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income, consisting primarily
of service charges and fees on loans and deposit accounts, net
gain on sale of mortgage loans, investment sales commissions, and
loan servicing fees increased $84,000, or 31.2%, for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the earlier period in
1996. The increase was primarily due to a $76,000 increase in
deposit service fee income, which was partially offset by a
$32,000 decrease in the net gain on sale of loans. Approximately
$52,000 of the increase in deposit service fee income was due to
the Branch Acquisitions.
Non-Interest Expense. Non interest expense, consisting primarily
of employee compensation and benefits, premises and equipment
expenses, federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing,
advertising and promotion, amortization of goodwill and core
deposit intangibles, and other miscellaneous items increased
$1,385,000, or 86.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
as compared to the same period in 1996. The additional expenses
were primarily due to the costs of adding new products and
services, the Branch Acquisitions, and the addition of two
