                   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 accompanying consolidated financial statements include 
the accounts of First Mutual Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), its wholly-owned 
subsidiary, First Mutual Bank, S.B. (the "Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned 
subsidiary, First Mutual Corporation, which provides investment and insurance 
services. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are 
eliminated in consolidation.

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 June 30, 1998 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

(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

Basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were computed by dividing
net income by 3,179,206 and 3,318,327 respectively, the weighted average number
of net shares of common stock outstanding during the three months ended June 30,
1998. There were 383,700 outstanding stock options June 30, 1998 at an exercise
price of $11.75 per share.

(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. Statement 128 had little impact on the Company's
earnings per share calculations for 1997 other than changing terminology from
primary EPS to basic EPS. All prior period EPS data was restated to conform with
the new presentation.

Under a new accounting standard, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, comprehensive income is now reported for all periods. Comprehensive income
includes both net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive
income includes the change in unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale. Other comprehensive income is not material to the Company's
financial condition, and therefore is not included as a disclosure in the
financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information," was issued in 1997 by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board. This Statement established 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. Statement 131 is
effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Management does not
believe that the provisions of this Statement are applicable to the Company,
since substantially all of the Company's operations are banking activities.

(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 decreased $11.9 million, or 3.0%, to $379.5 million at June 30,
1998, from $391.4 million at December 31, 1997.

Loans receivable (including loans held for sale) decreased $6.6 million, or
2.1%, to $302.7 million at June 30, 1998, from $309.3 million at December 31,
1997, primarily due to the excess of loan repayments versus loan originations
during the quarter. Increased repayments resulted from the increased prepayment
of mortgage loans due to the lower interest rate environment for mortgage loans
during the period. Loan sales also increased during the current quarter as a
result of the lower interest rate environment. The increase in loan sales was
due to the increase in the origination of fixed rate mortgage loans available
for sale, which borrowers typically prefer in a low interest rate environment.

Interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions and securities
held-to-maturity and available for sale decreased $6.4 million, or 13.3%, to
$41.6 million at June 30, 1998, from $48.0 million at December 31, 1997. The
decrease was primarily due to the decrease in deposits and advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank during the period.

Total Deposits decreased $5.9 million, or 1.8%, to $314.1 million at June 30, 
1998, from $320.0 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease in deposits was 
primarily due to the migration of deposits by customers to other investment 
products as a result of the lower interest rate environment.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $7.5 million, or 60%, to
$5,000,000 at June 30, 1998, from $12.5 million at December 31, 1997. The
decrease was due to the maturity of $7.0 million in term advances during the
period.

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 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 totalled $41.3 million at June 30,
1998.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had total equity capital of $55.5 million and
the Bank had total equity capital of $52.7 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 months ended June 30, 1998, was $516,000
compared to $436,000 for the same period in 1997. The increase was primarily due
to the increase in non-interest income of $218,000, or 52.8%, and the increase
in net interest income of $94,000, or 3.3%. These were partially offset by the
increase in income taxes of $97,000 or 47.1%, the increase in non-interest
expense of $88,000, or 3.4%, and the increase in the provision for loan losses
of $47,000, or 50.5%. The increase in non-interest income was due primarily to
the increase in the gains on sale of loans resulting from the lower interest
rate environment. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to the
increase in the yield on earning assets versus the earlier period.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $900,000 compared to
$517,000 for the same period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to the
increase in non-interest income of $434,000, or 56.7% to $1.2 million in 1997
versus $766,000 in the earlier period. The increase was also due to the decrease
in non-interest expense of $181,000, or 3.3%, and the increase in net interest
income of 209,000, or 3.7%. These were partially offset by the increase in
income taxes of $374,000, or 227.7% and the increase in the provision for loan
losses of $67,000, or 26.5%. The increase in non-interest income was due
primarily to the increase in the gains on sales of loans resulting from the
lower interest rate environment. The increase in net interest income was due
primarily to the increase in the yield on earning assets versus the earlier
period.

Interest Income.  Interest income for the three months ended June
30, 1998 decreased $.3 million, or 4.2%, to $6.9 million from

                                  Page 12
<PAGE>

$7.2 million in the earlier period. The decrease was primarily the result of the
decrease in average earning assets to $354.9 million from $385.3 million in the
earlier period. Average earning assets decreased primarily as a result of the
decrease in average paying liabilities during the period. This was partially
offset by the increase in the average yield on earning assets to 7.77% from
7.51% in the earlier period.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, decreased $.7 million,
or 4.8%, to $13.8 million from $14.5 million in the earlier period. The decrease
was primarily due to the decrease in average earning assets to $357.1 million
from $391.7 million in the earlier period. Average earning assets decreased
primarily as a result of the decrease in average paying liabilities during the
period. This was partially offset by the increase in the average yield on
earning assets to 7.74% from 7.39% in the earlier period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months decreased $.5 million,
or 11.4%, to $3.9 million from $4.4 million in the earlier period resulting
primarily from the decrease in average paying liabilities to $325.0 million from
$358.4 million in the earlier period. The cost of the average interest paying
liabilities also decreased to 4.83% from 4.87% in the earlier period.

Interest expense for the six months decreased $.9 million, or 10.2%, to $7.9
million from $8.8 million in the earlier period resulting primarily from the
decrease in average paying liabilities to $328.0 million from $362.0 million in
the earlier period. The cost of the average paying liabilities also decreased to
4.81% form 4.84% in the earlier period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $94,000, or 3.3%, during the
current three-month period versus the earlier three-month period. The increase
was primarily due to the increase in the net interest rate spread, which
increased to 2.94% from 2.64% in the earlier period.

Net interest income increased $209,000, or 3.7%, during the current six-month
period versus the earlier six-month period. The increase was primarily due to
the increase in the interest rate spread which increased to 2.93% from 2.55% in
the earlier period.

Provision 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

                                  Page 13
<PAGE>

conditions. During the three months ended June 30, 1998, a $140,000 provision
for loan losses was recorded primarily as a result of 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 $93,000
provision to the allowance for loan losses for the same period in 1997. The
Bank's ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 121.84% at
June 30, 1998, compared to 93.77% at December 31, 1997, primarily due to the
decrease in non-performing loans to $1.2 million at June 30, 1998, compared to
$1.5 million at December 31, 1997.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998 a $320,000 provision for loan losses
was recorded primarily as a result of 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 $253,000
provision to the allowance for loan losses for the same period in 1997.

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 $218,000,
or 52.8%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the
earlier three-month period. The increase was primarily due to the increases in
the gain on sale of loans of $100,000, or 212.8%, deposit service fee income of
$42,000, or 22.7%, and investment sales commissions of $41,000, or 75.9%.

Non-interest income increased $434,000, or 56.7%, for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the earlier six-month period. The increase was
primarily due to the increases in the gain on sale of loans of $226,000, or
269.0% and deposit service fee income of $104,000, or 30.6%

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
$88,000, or 3.4%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to
the earlier three-month period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to the
increases in compensation and benefits of $123,000, or 9.4%, and amortization of
goodwill and core deposit intangibles of $57,000, or 48.3%.

Non-interest expense decreased $181,000, or 3.3% for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the earlier six-month period in 1997. The decrease
was primarily due to the decreases in advertising and promotion of $149,000, or
55.6%, and printing, postage, stationery, and supplies of $65,000, or 27.5%.

                                  Page 14
<PAGE>

Income Tax Expenses. Income tax expenses increased $97,000, or 47.1%, for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the earlier period in
1997. The increase was primarily due to the increase in earnings before taxes to
$819,000 from $642,000 in the earlier period.

Income tax expenses increased $374,000, or 226.7%, for the six-month period in
1998 compared to the earlier six-month period in 1997. The increase was
primarily due to the increase in earnings before taxes to $1,439,000 from
$682,000 in the earlier period.

Year 2000. The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to review
the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and has developed an
implementation plan to resolve the issue. A budget amount of $166,500 has been
initially established for computer hardware and software costs plus other
related expenses in connection with the implementation plan. The Year 2000
problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather
than four to define the applicable year. For example, programs that have
time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or
miscalculations. The Company presently believes that, with modifications to
existing software and by converting to new software, the Year 2000 problem will
not pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems as
so modified and converted. However, if such modifications and conversions are
not completed timely, the Year 2000 problem may have a material impact on the
operations of the Company.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk

The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of March 31, 1998
based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes. The Company
believes that the assumptions utilized are reasonable. The Company had no
derivative financial instruments, or trading portfolio, as of March 31, 1998.
The expected maturity date values for loans receivable and investment securities
were calculated by adjusting the instrument's contractual maturity date for
expectations of prepayments, as set forth in the notes. Similarly, expected
maturity date values for interest-bearing core deposits were calculated based
upon estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding as set
forth in the notes. With respect to the Company's adjustable rate instruments,
expected maturity date values were measured by adjusting the instrument's
contractual maturity date for expectations of prepayments, as set forth in the
notes. From a risk management perspective, however, the Company believes that
repricing dates, as opposed to expected maturity dates, may be a more relevant
metric in analyzing the

                                  Page 15
<PAGE>

value of such instruments. Company borrowings were tabulated by contractual
maturity dates.

The Company believes the March 31, 1998 table presented also represents a
reasonable estimate of this information as of June 30, 1998.

In preparing the table, it has been assumed that: (i) adjustable rate mortgage
loans on one- to four-family residences will repay at a rate of 15% per year;
(ii) fixed rate mortgage loans on one- to four-family residences with terms to
maturity of 10 years or less will repay at a rate of 13% per year; (iii) fixed
rate first mortgage loans on one-to four-family residential properties with
remaining terms to maturity of over 10 years will prepay annually as follows:

(iv) fixed and adjustable rate first mortgage loans on residential properties of
five or more units and non-residential properties will prepay at a rate of 12%
per year; (v) consumer loans will prepay at a rate of 18% per year; (vi)
commercial loans will not prepay; (vii) fixed maturity deposits will not be
withdrawn prior to maturity; (viii) passbook savings accounts assume an annual
decay rate of 75.33% in the first year and 15% for the remaining years; (ix) NOW
and super accounts assume an annual decay rate of 64.80% in the first year and
18.72% for the remaining years; (x) non-interest bearing checking accounts
assume an annual decay rate of 45% in the first year and 37.56% for the
remaining years; and (xi) money market accounts assume an annual decay rate of
73.45% in the first year and 37.56% for the remaining years.

All loans are presented net of undisbursed loan proceeds and do not include net
deferred loan fees/costs or the allowance for loan losses.

The above assumptions are annual percentages based on remaining balances and
should not be regarded as indicative of the actual prepayments and withdrawals
which may be experienced by the Company.
