Allen Koranda, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The inverted yield curve and a slowing housing market create a challenging earnings environment for us in our mortgage lending business. Our strategy has been to limit growth in the balance sheet in this environment rather than committing capital at unattractive spreads. We are pleased that we have been successful in our initiative to grow business banking loan balances throughout 2006, which has allowed us to achieve a favorable shift in our portfolio mix. We have also done well in keeping expenses in check and will be making efforts to continue this progress in the quarters ahead."

Net Interest Margin: 3rd Quarter 2006 v. 2nd Quarter 2006. The net interest margin declined three basis points during the quarter primarily due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities continuing to increase at a faster pace than the yield on interest-earning assets. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the current period was impacted by local market competitive pressures on core deposit pricing and a continued change in our mix of deposits due to consumers shifting deposits into higher-yielding certificates of deposit. In light of the pressure on the net interest margin from the inverted yield curve and other factors, we are limiting growth in our lowest yielding asset categories, consisting of one- to four-family first mortgages and securities, and using cash flows from these portfolios to grow business banking loans. We expect some further compression in the net interest margin due to the inverted yield curve environment and changing deposit mix, which should in part be mitigated by the benefits of loan repricing. Approximately, $1.9 billion of the $3.4 billion of adjustable rate one- to four-family mortgage loans in our portfolio are scheduled to roll out of their initial fixed-rate period over the next nine quarters.
Net Interest Margin: 3rd Quarter 2006 v. 3rd Quarter 2005. On a year-over-year basis, the net interest margin declined by 32 basis points. The rise in short-term interest rates, a flattening yield curve environment over the past 12 months, lower dividend yield on our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago stock, higher deposit pricing driven by increased pricing competition and a continued shift of funds out of lower cost core deposits into certificates of deposit have all negatively impacted our net interest margin over the past year. Additionally, we repurchased 1.9 million shares of stock using borrowed funds, which improved earnings per share results but had the effect of reducing the net interest margin. We also increased our investments in bank-owned life insurance (earnings from which are classified as non-interest income) and real estate held for development in the last twelve months which negatively impacts the net interest margin.

(1) Certain loan reclassifications have been made for December 31, 2005 to
conform to current period classification.
The decline in our loan portfolio balances since June 30, 2006 (7.2% annualized), reflects our strategy to limit growth in lower yielding one- to four-family residential loans by selling more of our originations, while emphasizing portfolio growth in other loan categories. Non one- to four-family and home equity loans grew at an annualized rate of 11% over the past three months, primarily reflecting growth in our business banking operations.

Non-interest income in the current quarter increased 13.3% compared to the third quarter of 2005. The increases are primarily the result of higher gains on sale of loans, higher deposit service fee income, loan servicing fee income and brokerage and insurance commissions. Excluding the impact in the prior year period of $648,000 of income from tax-free insurance death benefits and $355,000 of gains on the disposition of various assets, non-interest income in the third quarter increased by 19.2% compared to last year's third quarter. Non-interest income for the current nine month period increased 15.3% compared to the prior year nine-month period.

One- to four-family mortgage loan volume during the third quarter continued to be impacted by the weakness in the real estate markets, consistent with the overall slowdown in the mortgage industry.
Despite lower origination volumes, we increased our loan sale volume 66% in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of 2005, and 50% for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year period, as part of our balance sheet strategy. Margins on sale declined modestly due to selling a higher proportion of adjustable-rate mortgages, which have a lower gain on sale margin. Higher sales volume of equity lines of credit during the current quarter also impacted loan sales gains.
Loan servicing income increased primarily due to continued growth in the loans serviced for others portfolio and lower mortgage servicing rights amortization expense as loan prepayments have slowed in the servicing portfolio. To take advantage of attractive market opportunities, we have plans to sell approximately $1 billion of mortgage loan servicing rights in the fourth quarter.

We experienced a 21.9% increase in deposit account service charges for the current three-month period compared to last year's third quarter and a 19.5% increase for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year period. The growth reflects increases in debit card activity and higher consumer overdraft activity due in part to allowing overdrafts at ATMs. The expansion of the deposit base relating to the February 2006 EFC acquisition also increased our overall service fees.

The net loss in real estate development for the current quarter results from a reduction in previously recorded gains on lots sold in our Springbank development due to higher estimated project completion costs, which more than offset $185,000 of profits from the closings of ten Springbank lots. Included in the results for the current nine-month period is $368,000 of income related to a prior land development project, where the final three lots were sold and the project finalized.
The increase in the balance of investment in real estate as compared to a year ago relates primarily to continued land purchases and development cost expenditures related to Springbank. Investment in real estate also includes $8.8 million paid to complete the purchase of 160 acres of land in Plainfield, Illinois near Springbank acquired at the end of the second quarter of 2006 for future development. The contract had been pending for several years.
Lot sales in the fourth quarter of 2006 and into 2007 will be negatively impacted by the slowdown in the real estate market as the increase in inventory of existing homes for sale and weak outlook for new home sales has reduced builder demand for new lots. We expect little income from real estate operations in the remainder of 2006.

(1) The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by

gain/(loss) on sale and write-down of mortgage-backed and investment
securities and fixed assets.
Total non-interest expense in the current quarter increased $4.1 million, or 8.9% compared to the third quarter of 2005. Compensation and benefits increased by $1.8 million, or 7.2%, due to normal annual salary increases and increased employee headcount, partly due to our acquisition of EFC Bancorp in February 2006. Office occupancy and equipment increased by $566,000, or 7.6%, primarily due to the addition of two new branches over the past year and seven branches acquired in the EFC acquisition. Advertising and promotion expenses were $265,000 higher in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter as we initiated several promotional campaigns later in the year in 2006. Fraud losses increased compared to the prior year quarter by $568,000, or 83%, in the current quarter primarily due to one internal fraud incident.
Included in other non-interest expense for this quarter is an expense for establishing a $1 million reserve for estimated loss related to a $6.8 million standby letter of credit backing an industrial revenue bond. The letter of credit is secured by a 62,000 square foot office building in west suburban Chicago that is experiencing low occupancy levels. Based on recent discussions with the borrower, the Bank expects to advance funds under the letter of credit to repay the bond, which matures in December 2006.
Non-interest expense totaled $148.0 million in the current nine-month period, compared to $141.1 million reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 4.9%. Compensation and benefits expense increased by 5.5% for the current nine-month period compared to the prior year period while occupancy and equipment costs increased by 11.2% over this same period. The increase in these categories is primarily due to the impact of the EFC transaction and normal salary increases. Amortization of core deposit intangibles increased as a result of the EFC acquisition. Lower advertising expenses were due to lower promotional campaign activity in the first nine months of 2006 compared to last year. Professional expense decreased $1.3 million due to lower consulting fees. In 2005 we incurred consulting fees related to various process improvements including an automated work flow system for the mortgage loan division and Sarbanes-Oxley and Bank Secrecy anti-money laundering compliance costs.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense totaled $13.0 million in the current quarter, equal to an effective income tax rate of 34.6%, compared to 33.4% reported for the third quarter of 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate compared to the third quarter of last year was primarily attributable to increased state income taxes and reduced tax benefits from low income housing investments, offset in part by an increase in benefits from tax-exempt investments.
Income tax expense totaled $39.2 million in the current nine-month period, equal to an effective income tax rate of 34.2%, compared to $39.9 million or 34.4% reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in the effective tax rate compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in tax-exempt investments and tax-advantaged bank owned life investments, which offset higher state income taxes and reduced tax benefits from low income housing investments.

We experienced an increase in non-performing loans in the current quarter, primarily relating to our residential mortgage loan portfolio. Most of the charge-offs in the quarter were also related to the residential loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses in the current quarter reflects the level of charge-offs, shift in the mix of the portfolio, and the increase in non-performing loans, offset by the shrinkage in the loan portfolio. At September 30, 2006, loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate comprised 88.7% of non-performing loans compared to 90.6% at June 30, 2006 and 93.1% at December 31, 2005.

Stockholders' Equity
During the current quarter, we declared $8.2 million in cash dividends, and repurchased 321,779 shares of our common stock at an average price of $41.03, which completed our recently announced stock buyback program. The decline in interest rates during the quarter led to a $16.6 million decrease in the after-tax unrealized loss of securities held for sale. The Bank's tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 2006 exceeded minimum and well-capitalized regulatory capital requirements. Return on equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 9.61% compared to 10.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Return on tangible equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 15.53% compared to 15.89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

MAF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These measures include tangible book value per share, tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets ratio and annualized return on average tangible equity. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance and financial condition and believes this presentation provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial condition and results, as it provides a method to assess management's success in managing alternatives for the utilization of tangible capital. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that might be presented by other companies.
