NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 NOTE 1 - A BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles of accounting for instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments ( consisting of normal recurring accruals ) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in American Bancorp, Inc.'s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. NOTE 2 - IMPAIRED LOANS On January 1, 1995 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material impact on the financial condition or operating results of the Company. Interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to principal if there is doubt as to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income. As it relates to in-substance foreclosures, SFAS No. 114 requires that a creditor continue to follow loan classification on the balance sheet unless the creditor receives physical possession of the collateral. The Company had no in-substance foreclosures in foreclosed assets to transfer to nonperforming loans and no related reserve for losses to transfer to the reserve for possible loan losses. NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTIES Directors, executive officers, and 10% shareholders and their related interest had loans outstanding totaling $944,000 at March 31, 2001. NOTE 4- EARNING PER SHARE The earnings per share computations are based on weighted average number of shares outstanding during each quarter of 117,364 and 117,704 for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion presents a review of the major factors and trends affecting the performance of the Company and its bank subsidiary and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. OVERVIEW The Company reported net income of $ 256,000 for the first three months of 2001 compared to $ 329,000 for the same period of 2000. On a per share basis, the net income was $ 2.18 for the first three months of 2001 compared to $ 2.80 for the same period of 2000. The Company recorded a provision for possible loan losses of $ 10,000 and $ 0 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net interest income increased 1.10% to $ 916,000 for the first three months of 2001 compared to $ 906,000 for the same period of 2000. Total assets were $ 81,099,000 at March 31, 2001, a decrease of $1,661,000 from December 31, 2000. Loans increased by $ 1,217,000 or 3.79 % from $ 32,080,000 at December 31, 2000 to $ 33,297,000 at March 31, 2001. Deposits decreased by $ 2,443,000 or 3.43 % from $ 71,319,000 at December 31, 2000 to $68,876,000 at March 31, 2001. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 totaled $ 916,000, a $ 10,000 increase from the same period in 2000. The greatest contributing factor to this increase was an increase in the average balance of loans. This positive effect was partially negated mostly by a decrease in the average balance of investment securities and a reduction in the yield on those securities, and an increase in the interest paid on deposits. The overall effect of volume and rate changes on net interest income during the three month period ended March 31, 2001 was favorable. PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES. The Company recorded provisions for possible loan losses of $ 10,000 and $ 0 for the first three months of 2001 and 2000, respectively. The recognition of this provision resulted from growth in the loan portfolio and is not a reflection of a change in asset quality. As a percentage of outstanding loans, the allowance for possible loan losses was 1.74% and 1.77 % at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The provision is determined by the level of net charge offs, the size of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, anticipated economic conditions, and review of financial condition of specific customers. NONINTEREST INCOME. For the first three months of 2001 noninterest income decreased $ 23,000 or 12.5 % compared to the same period of 2000. Other non-interest income decreased by $ 23,000 or 45.1 % compared to the same period of 2000. Part of this decrease is the result of a decrease in miscellaneous income for the first quarter of 2001. There were no securities gains in the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. 10 NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the first three months of 2001 noninterest expense increased $ 86,000 or 13.4 % compared to the same period in 2000. Salaries and employee benefits , the largest component of noninterest expense, increased by $ 67,000 or 20.9 % for the first three months of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. This increase was attributed to an increase in the cost of benefits provided to employees and an overall increase in salaries. Net occupancy expense also increased by $ 24,000 or 18.9% for the first three months of 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. INCOME TAXES. The Company recorded provisions for income taxes of $83,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $ 119,000 for the same period of 2000. FINANCIAL CONDITION LOANS. Loans were $ 33,297,000 at March 31, 2001; up by $ 1,217,000 or 3.79 % from December 31, 2000. TABLE I - COMPOSITION OF LOAN PORTFOLIO

11 SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY. Securities held to maturity were $3,697,000 at March 31, 2001; down by $ 1,199,000 or 24.49 % from December 31, 2000. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE. Securities available for sale were $29,886,000 at March 31, 2001; down by $ 1,181,000 or 3.80 % from December 31, 2000. TABLE II - INVESTMENT SECURITIES A comparison of the book value and estimated market value of investment securities is as follows:

12 TABLE III - NONPERFORMING ASSETS Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans, loans which are contractually 90 days past due, restructured loans, and foreclosed assets. Restructured loans are loans which, due to a deteriorated financial condition of the borrower, have a below market yield. Interest payments received on nonperforming loans are applied to reduce principal if there is doubt as to the collectibility of the principal; otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income. Certain nonperforming loans that are current as to principal and interest payments are classified as nonperforming because there is a question concerning full collectibility of both principal and interest. Nonperforming assets totaled $ 3,000 at March 31, 2001, a $ 31,000 (91.2 %) decrease from December 31, 2000. The composition of nonperforming assets are illustrated below:

TABLE IV - ANALYSIS OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The present level of the allowance for loan losses is considered adequate to absorb future potential loan losses. In making this determination, management considered asset quality, the level of net loan charge-offs, as well as current economic conditions and market trends. 13 TABLE V - ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for possible loan losses has been allocated according to the amount deemed to be reasonably necessary to provide for the possibility of losses being incurred within the following categories of loans.

DEPOSITS. As of March 31, 2001 total deposits have decreased by $2,443,000 or 3.43 % from December 31, 2000. Noninterest bearing deposits increased by $ 611,000 or 2.35 % from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001. Interest bearing deposits decreased by $ 3,054,000 or 6.73 % from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001. CAPITAL. Shareholders' equity totaled $ 11,603,000 at March 31, 2001, compared to $ 11,076,000 at December 31, 2000. The increase is primarily the result of net income during the current quarter. Risk-based capital and leverage ratios for the Company and the bank subsidiary exceed the ratios required for the designation as a "well-capitalized" institution under regulatory guidelines.
