BUSINESS GENERAL MB Financial, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1995 and is a bank holding company under the BHCA and the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act (Illinois BHCA). On February 26, 1999, Coal City Corporation, the holding company for Manufacturers Bank ("CCC") was merged with and into Avondale Financial Corp. ("Avondale"), the holding company for Avondale Federal Savings Bank. The resulting entity was renamed MB Financial, Inc. Simultaneously, Avondale Federal Savings Bank was merged into Manufacturers Bank. Total assets for Avondale were $484.3 million at the merger date, and Avondale operated out of five locations in the Chicago metropolitan area. Since the CCC stockholders owned more than 50% of the combined company, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of accounting with CCC being the accounting acquirer. As a result, the post-merger historical financial statements of the combined company are CCC's as the accounting acquirer, and includes the operating results of Avondale since the merger date. Total consideration, based upon Avondale's shares outstanding at the merger date times the estimated market value per share at the merger announcement date, was $26.4 million plus $1.1 million of merger expenses incurred by CCC. Included in the purchase accounting adjustments was an accrual of $4.4 million for merger related costs. The accrual included estimated costs for termination of data processing contracts, professional fees, severance and personnel related expenses and lease contracts. At December 31, 1999, the remaining liability was approximately $975 thousand primarily for lease contracts and severance costs. The majority of the remaining costs are scheduled to be payable by the end of 2000. After the merger, each share of CCC Common Stock issued and outstanding on February 26, 1999 was converted into 83.5 shares of Avondale. Consequently, common share data for the years ended prior to and including December 31, 1998 were converted at an exchange ratio of 83.5 to 1. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term the "Company" includes MB Financial, Inc., its subsidiaries and predecessor. MB Financial, Inc. owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Manufacturers National Corporation, which is also a bank holding company organized under the BHCA and the Illinois BHCA. Manufacturers National Corporation owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Manufacturers Bank. At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately 1,400 stockholders of record, 7,064,515 shares of common stock outstanding, total consolidated assets of $1.3 billion and operated from a total of 12 offices throughout metropolitan Chicago, including the principal business office at 1200 North Ashland Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Manufacturers Bank ("Bank") owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of six special purpose Illinois corporations, Ashland Management Agency, Inc. ("Ashland"), MB1200 Corporation ("MB1200"), Manufacturers Deferred Exchange Corporation ("MDEC"), Avondale Financial Services, Inc. ("AFS"), Manufacturers Community Development Corporation, and Manufacturers Funding Corporation, all of which have their principal business offices at the principal business office of the Company at 1200 North Ashland Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. The principal purpose of Ashland is to act as manager of certain real estate owned by Manufacturers Bank; the principal purpose of MB1200 is to hold title to any property that Manufacturers Bank may receive pursuant to a foreclosure or other resolution of a non-performing loan; the principal purpose of MDEC is to hold escrowed funds relating to certain tax advantaged property exchanges entered into by the customers of Manufacturers Bank; the principal purpose of AFS is to offer investment and insurance products to customers of Manufacturers Bank; the principal purpose of Manufacturers Community Development Corporation is to engage in community lending and equity investments to facilitate the construction and rehabilitation of housing in low and moderate neighborhoods in the Bank's market area; and Manufacturers Funding Corporation is inactive. The Company also owns all of the issued and outstanding Common Securities of Coal City Capital Trust I, a statutory Delaware business trust, making such trust a subsidiary of the Company for financial reporting purposes. In July 1998, Coal City Capital Trust I issued $25 million in Preferred Capital Securities and the Company's former subsidiary, Coal City Capital Trust 1997-A (which has been dissolved), retired $10 million of Preferred Trust Securities that were issued in 1997. 4 In 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Peterson Bank, located on Chicago's far north side. At the date of acquisition, Peterson Bank had assets of $172.1 million and operated out of a main office and a single branch facility. Peterson Bank specialized in the banking needs of real estate investors and operators, long-term health care companies and Chicago's Korean community. In May of 1997, Manufacturers National Corporation acquired 100% of U.S. Bancorp, the single-bank holding company for U.S. Bank. At the time of this acquisition, U.S. Bancorp had assets of $205 million and operated out of a main office and four branch facilities, all located either on Chicago's south side or in the southern Chicago suburbs of Tinley Park, Lansing and South Holland, Illinois. U.S. Bank specialized in serving home developers whose projects were located throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and northwest Indiana. In 1997, the Company caused Peterson Bank to be merged into Manufacturers Bank, and Manufacturers Bank to be merged into U.S. Bank, with the latter entity changing its name to "Manufacturers Bank." The Company also caused U.S. Bancorp, which was then a mid-tier bank holding company wholly owned by Manufacturers National Corporation, to be merged into Manufacturers Bank in order to eliminate the costs associated with an unnecessary third holding company layer. In January 1998, the Company sold 100% of the outstanding common stock of Coal City National Bank to Kankakee Bancorp, Inc., the parent holding company of Kankakee Federal Savings Bank, which is headquartered in Kankakee, Illinois. Coal City National Bank is located in Coal City, Illinois, more than 50 miles from downtown Chicago, in a community where the Company's Management believed business lending opportunities were limited. Management decided that the Company could no longer benefit from a presence in the Coal City, Illinois marketplace, and that continued ownership of Coal City National Bank, although profitable, would divert the Company, its management and staff from their principal focus of growing the business of Manufacturers Bank. It was also decided that the capital required to operate Coal City National Bank would be better utilized in the operation of Manufacturers Bank. BUSINESS AREAS Manufacturers Bank concentrates its business efforts on servicing small and middle market businesses, such as manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, long-term health care operators, real estate operators and investors, and home developers located throughout the entire Chicago metropolitan area. The Company, through its acquisition program and through careful selection of officers and employees, has moved to position Manufacturers Bank to take a leading role in filling this attractive niche in the market. In order to further the ability of Manufacturers Bank to play such a leading role, management has also caused Manufacturers Bank to divide its business into four distinctly recognizable areas, referred to as Commercial Banking, Convenient Retail Banking, Lease Banking and Korean Banking. COMMERCIAL BANKING. The Commercial Banking Group focuses on serving privately-owned companies run by entrepreneurs. The kinds of companies served are manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, home developers, long-term health care operators, real estate operators and investors, and selected types of service companies. Manufacturers Bank provides a full set of credit, deposit, cash management and investment products to these companies. These products are specifically designed for companies with sales between $1 million and $50 million. The products developed for this target market include: CREDIT PRODUCTS: - Working capital loans and lines of credit, including accounts receivable and inventory financing - Equipment loans and leasing - Business acquisition loans - Owner occupied real estate loans - Financial, performance and commercial letters of credit 5 DEPOSIT AND CASH MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS: - Corporate InterConnect - an internet cash management product for businesses - Zero balance accounts - Automated tax payments - ATM access - Merchant credit card program - Telephone banking - Lockbox - Direct deposit (ACH) - Account reconciliation - Controlled disbursement - Detail and general information reporting - Wire transfers - A variety of international banking services - Checking accounts - Investment services For real estate operators and investors, Manufacturers Bank also offers a full set of products including, and in addition to those listed above, the following: - Commercial mortgages - Residential, commercial, retail and industrial construction loans - Land acquisition and development loans - Industrial revenue bond financing LEASE BANKING. The target market for the Lease Banking group consists of small and medium size equipment leasing companies located throughout the United States. Manufacturers Bank has provided Lease Banking services to these companies for more than 25 years. Competition in servicing this equipment leasing market generally comes from large banks, financing companies, large industrial companies and some community banks in certain segments of the business. Manufacturers Bank provides rapid service and decision making, and flexible financial solutions, to meet its customers' needs in this market. Manufacturers Bank provides full banking services for these leasing companies by financing the debt portion of leveraged leases ("Lease Loans"), providing short-term and long-term equity financing, making working capital and bridge loans, and investing directly into leased equipment. The volume of Lease Loans is closely managed, in order to control Manufacturers Bank's level of total risk adjusted assets. Manufacturers Bank also invests in equipment leased to other companies. In this case, Manufacturers Bank owns the equipment leased to the user. The credit quality of the lessee generally must be in one of the top four rating categories of Moody's or Standard & Poors, or the equivalent. Over the last four years, Manufacturers Bank has increased its investment in leased equipment from virtually nothing to $38 million at December 31, 1999. In most cases, during the early years of the lease, Manufacturers Bank recognizes a loss on its investment, and as the lease ages, a gain. Consequently, as Manufacturers Bank has built its leased equipment portfolio, current earnings have been reduced. Gains, if any, on leased equipment result when a lessee renews a lease or purchases the equipment at the end of a lease, or the equipment is sold to a third party at a profit. Individual lease transactions can, however, result in a loss. This generally happens when, at the end of a lease, the lessee does not renew the lease or purchase the equipment. To mitigate this risk of loss, Manufacturers Bank usually limits individual leased equipment residuals to approximately $500 thousand per transaction and seeks to diversify both the type of equipment leased and the industries in which the lessees to whom such equipment is leased participate. KOREAN BANKING. The Korean Banking group focuses on the expanding Korean community located principally on the north side of Chicago and in Chicago's northwestern suburbs. Manufacturers Bank serves ethnic Korean consumers and Korean-owned businesses by providing complete banking services using the Korean language. Korean commercial customers tend to be small owner-operated, cash businesses, such as dry cleaners, gift shops and restaurants. While continuing to serve these customers, Manufacturers Bank is also targeting those Korean-owned businesses with annual sales between $2 million and $20 million. Personnel in the Korean Banking group, as well as a number of other individuals in key service positions at Manufacturers Bank speak and conduct business in Korean. 6 Manufacturers Bank's automated telephone account access services are provided in the Korean language as well. Competition in this growing market segment is quite limited because of the need to provide all banking services in Korean. CONVENIENT RETAIL BANKING. The target market for the Convenient Retail Banking consists of consumers who live or work near Manufacturers Bank offices. Manufacturers Bank offers a full set of consumer products to these individuals, including checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, time deposit accounts, secured and unsecured consumer loans, residential mortgage loans, and a variety of fee for service products, such as money orders and travelers checks. The Company also offers brokerage services which includes the sale of non-FDIC insured investment products to the Bank's client base. Manufacturers Bank refers to this area of its business as "Convenient Retail Banking," because it targets only those consumers for whom Manufacturers Bank's offices are a convenient place to perform the customers' financial transactions. LENDING ACTIVITIES GENERAL. Manufacturers Bank is primarily a business lender and the loan portfolio consists primarily of loans to businesses or for business purposes. COMMERCIAL LENDING. Manufacturers Bank makes commercial loans to small and middle market businesses. The borrowers tend to be privately-owned and are generally manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, long-term health care operators, and selected types of service providers. The loan products offered are primarily working capital loans and lines of credit. These general product classifications include accounts receivable and inventory financing, equipment loans and business acquisition loans. Manufacturers Bank also offers financial, performance and commercial letters of credit. Most commercial loans are short-term in nature, being one year or less, although the maximum allowable term is five years. Manufacturers Bank's lines of credit are typically secured, established for one year or less, and are subject to renewal upon satisfactory review of the borrower's financial statements and credit history. Secured short-term commercial business loans are usually collateralized by accounts receivable, equipment or real estate. Such loans are typically guaranteed by the owners of the business. Interest rates tend to be at or above the prime-lending rate, although there has been considerable recent market pressure to make loans at a spread above LIBOR. At December 31, 1999, there were $154.8 million in commercial loans representing 17.1% of the total loan portfolio outstanding. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING. Manufacturers Bank originates commercial real estate mortgage loans that are generally secured by one or more of the following kinds of properties: multi-unit residential property, owner and non-owner occupied commercial and industrial property, and residential property for development. Loans are also made to acquire and develop land. At December 31, 1999, there were $249.1 million in commercial real estate loans representing 27.6% of the total loan portfolio outstanding. LEASE LOANS. Manufacturers Bank lends money to small and mid-sized leasing company customers to finance the debt portion of leveraged leases (i.e., Lease Loans). A Lease Loan arises when a leasing company discounts with Manufacturers Bank the equipment rental revenue stream owed to the leasing company by a lessee. Lease Loans are generally non-recourse to the leasing company, and, consequently, Manufacturers Bank underwrites Lease Loans by examining the creditworthiness of the lessee rather than the lessor. Lease Loans are secured by the equipment being leased. The lessee acknowledges Manufacturers Bank's security interest in the leased equipment and agrees to make lease payments to Manufacturers Bank. Lessees tend to be Fortune 500 or Fortune 1000 companies and must have a public debt rating in one of the top four rating categories by Moody's or Standard & Poors, or the equivalent. If the lessee does not have a public debt rating, then Manufacturers Bank lends when its own credit analysis indicates that if the lessee did have a debt rating it would be in one of the top four categories. Lease Loans are fully amortizing, with maturities ranging from two to five years. Loan rates are fixed at a spread of 1% to 2% over the U.S. Treasury curve. Manufacturers Bank uses Lease Loans to manage its risk adjusted asset totals. Since these loans are very high quality and made to well-known public companies, the loans are marketable in the capital markets. Manufacturers Bank also has sold loans to correspondents that range from a large regional bank to several small community banks. At December 31, 1999, there were $186.9 million in commercial loans collateralized by lease payments representing 20.6% of the total loan portfolio outstanding. 7 FOREIGN OPERATIONS The Company does not engage in any operations in foreign countries. COMPETITION Vigorous competition exists in the major areas in which Manufacturers Bank is presently engaged in business. Competition includes not only commercial banks but also other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, money market and other mutual funds, mortgage companies, leasing and finance companies and a variety of financial services and advisory companies. Manufacturers Bank competes by providing quality services to its customers, ease of access to facilities and competitive pricing of services (including interest rates paid on deposits, interest rates charged on loans and fees charged for other non-loan or non-deposit services). PERSONNEL As of December 31, 1999, The Company had 299 full time employees and 66 part-time employees. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit, and the Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION. Bank holding companies are subject to comprehensive regulation by the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") under the Bank Holding Company Act ("BHCA"). As a bank holding company, the Company is required to file reports with the FRB and such additional information as the FRB may require, and the Company and its nonbanking affiliates will be subject to examination by the FRB. The FRB also has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies. Under FRB policy, a bank holding company must serve as a source of strength for its subsidiary banks. Under this policy the FRB may require, and has required in the past, a holding company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain FRB approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. The Company is subject to the activity limitations imposed on bank holding companies. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities which, by statute or by FRB regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of banking or managing or controlling banks. The list of activities permitted by the FRB includes, among other things, operating a savings institution, mortgage company, finance company, credit card company or factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; providing certain investment and financial advice; underwriting and acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance; leasing property on a full-payout, non-operating basis; selling money orders, travelers' checks and United States Savings Bonds; real estate and personal property appraising; providing tax planning and preparation services; and, subject to certain limitations, providing securities brokerage services for customers. The scope of permissible activities may be expanded from time to time by the FRB. Such activities may also be affected by federal legislation. The Company is also a bank holding company under the Illinois BHCA, and subject to regulation and examination by the Illinois Commissioner. 8 DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION REGULATION. Manufacturers Bank is subject to regulation by the Illinois Commissioner and the FDIC. The federal regulatory structure includes: (i) real estate lending standards, which provide guidelines concerning loan-to-value ratios for various types of real estate loans; (ii) risk-based capital rules including accounting for interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risks posed by "non-traditional" activities; (iii) rules requiring depository institutions to develop and implement internal procedures to evaluate and control credit and settlement exposure to their correspondent banks; (iv) rules prohibiting, with certain exceptions, equity investments of types and in amounts not permissible for national banks; and (v) rules addressing various "safety and soundness" issues, including operations and managerial standards, standards for asset quality, earnings and stock valuations, and compensation standards. The Company and its subsidiaries are affiliates within the meaning of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA) so that its insured depository institution subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions on transactions with their affiliates or involving securities issued by an affiliate, such as any extensions of credit to the Company and its other subsidiaries, investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and its other subsidiaries and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company or its other subsidiaries as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements will be placed on extensions of credit by Manufacturers Bank to principal stockholders of the Company and its other subsidiaries, to directors and certain executive officers of the Company and its other subsidiaries, and to "related interests" of such principal stockholders, directors and officers. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA), an insured depository institution which is commonly controlled with another insured depository institution shall generally be liable for any loss incurred, or reasonably anticipated to be incurred, by the FDIC in connection with the default (i.e., the appointment of a conservator or receiver) of such commonly controlled institution, or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to such commonly controlled institution, which is in danger of default. Thus, one of the Company's depository institution subsidiaries could incur liability to the FDIC in the event of a loss suffered by the FDIC in connection with another depository institution subsidiary. Under the FDIC's risk-based insurance assessment system, each insured bank or thrift is placed in one of nine risk categories based on its level of capital and other relevant information. Each insured bank's insurance assessment rate is then determined by the risk category in which it has been classified by the FDIC. There is currently a 27 basis point spread between the highest and lowest assessment rates, so that institutions classified as strongest by the FDIC are subject in 1999 to 0% assessment, and those classified as weakest by the FDIC are subject to an assessment rate of 0.27%. In 1999, each insured bank was subject to an additional assessment of approximately 1.00 basis point, and each insured thrift an additional assessment of approximately 6.00 basis points. These additional assessments were used to fund debt service or obligations issued in connection with the resolution of the thrift crisis in the 1980's. In the year 2000, each commercial bank and thrift will be subject to an additional assessment of approximately 2.12 basis points. INTERSTATE BANKING AND BRANCHING. The FRB may approve an application of an adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding company to acquire control of, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a bank located in a state other than such holding company's home state, without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited by the laws of any state. The FRB may not approve the acquisition of a bank that has not been in existence for the minimum time period (not exceeding five years) specified by the statutory law of the host state and may not approve an application if the applicant (and its depository institution affiliates) controls or would control more than 10% of the insured deposits in the United States or 30% or more of the deposits in the target bank's home state or in any state in which the target bank maintains a branch. Individual states may also waive the 30% statewide concentration limit. Each state may limit the percentage of total insured deposits in the state which may be held or controlled by a bank or bank holding company to the extent such limitation does not discriminate against out-of-state banks or bank holding companies. The federal banking agencies are authorized to approve interstate merger transactions without regard to whether such transactions are prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state of one of the banks opted out of interstate mergers prior to June 1, 1997. Interstate acquisitions of branches are permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits such acquisitions. Interstate mergers and branch acquisitions are subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration amounts described above. 9 The FDIC may approve interstate branching de novo by state banks only in states which specifically allow for such branching. Illinois banks are permitted to branch into other states. Interstate branching authority may not be used primarily for the purpose of deposit production. DIVIDENDS. The FRB's policy is that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that its net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of earning retention that is consistent with the holding company's capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition and that it is inappropriate for a company experiencing serious financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends. Furthermore, under the prompt corrective action regulations adopted by the FRB, the FRB may prohibit a bank holding company from paying any dividends if the holding company's bank subsidiary is classified as "undercapitalized." Bank holding companies are required to give the FRB prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10% or more of their consolidated net worth. The FRB may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation, FRB order, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the FRB. This notification requirement does not apply to any company that meets the well-capitalized standard for commercial banks, is well managed and is not subject to any unresolved supervisory issues. Manufacturers Bank is permitted, under the Illinois Banking Act, to declare and pay dividends in amounts up to the amount of its accumulated net profits, provided that it shall retain in its surplus at least one-tenth of its net profits since the date of the declaration of its most recent previous dividend until said additions to surplus, in the aggregate, equal at least the paid-in-capital of such bank. In no event may such bank, while it continues its banking business, pay dividends in excess of its net profits then on hand (after deductions for losses and bad debts). CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. The FRB has established capital requirements for bank holding companies that generally parallel the capital requirements for banks and thrift institutions. The Company will be subject to capital requirements on a consolidated basis and its depository institution subsidiaries individually will be subject to applicable capital requirements. The FRB expects bank holding companies to maintain Tier 1 capital commensurate with the level and nature of risks to which they are exposed. The minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is 4% or 3% in the case of a company (i) with a safety and soundness examination rating of "1" or (ii) that has implemented the risk-based capital measure for market risk (applicable only when the sum of trading assets and liabilities is 10% or more of total assets or $1 billion or more). In addition, a bank holding company is expected to maintain at least an 8% minimum ratio of total capital (at least half of which must be Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets. The federal banking regulators must take prompt corrective action with respect to FDIC-insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. There are five capital tiers: "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." Under FDIC and OTS regulations, an insured institution is well capitalized if it maintains a leverage ratio (I.E., ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets) of at least 5%, a total risk-based capital ratio (I.E., a ratio of total qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets) of at least 10% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (I.E., a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets) of at least 6% and is not subject to an agreement, order or directive to maintain a specified capital level. An institution is generally considered to be adequately capitalized if it is not well capitalized but has a Leverage Ratio of 4% or greater (or a leverage ratio of 3% if it has a safety and soundness examination rating of "1"), a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater. An institution will be considered undercapitalized if it fails to meet any minimum requirement to be adequately capitalized, significantly undercapitalized if it is significantly below such requirement and critically undercapitalized if it maintains a level of tangible equity capital equal to or less than 2% of total assets. An institution may be reclassified in a lower capitalization category if it receives a less than satisfactory examination rating by its examiners with respect to its assets, management, earnings or liquidity that has not been corrected, or it is determined that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice. Tier 1 capital generally includes common stockholders equity capital, certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus certain intangible assets. Total qualifying capital includes certain elements in addition to Tier 1 capital. 10 Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to various restrictions and are required to submit or implement a capital restoration plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. Under capitalization (under certain circumstances) and critical under capitalization are grounds for the appointment of the FDIC as receiver or conservator of a depository institution. COMMUNITY INVESTMENT AND CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS. In connection with lending activities, Manufacturers Bank is subject to a variety of federal laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy and population. Included among these are the Federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the CRA. Manufacturers Bank is also subject to similar Illinois laws applicable to, among other things, usury, credit discrimination and general business practices. As an Illinois banking corporation controlled by a bank holding company, Manufacturers Bank is not only subject to the rules regarding change of control contained in the FRA and the FDIA and the regulations promulgated there under by the FRB and the FDIC, but it is also subject to the rules regarding change in control of Illinois banks contained in the Illinois Banking Act (IBA). The Company is subject to these rules by virtue of control of Manufacturers Bank. Generally, the IBA provides that no person or entity or group of affiliated persons or entities may, without the Illinois Commissioner's consent, directly or indirectly, acquire control of an Illinois bank. Such control is presumed if any person owns or controls 20% or more of the outstanding stock of an Illinois bank or such lesser amount as would enable the holder or holders, by applying cumulative voting, to elect one director of the bank. RECENT LEGISLATION. Effective November 12, 1999, the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") became law. The GLB Act repeals certain portions of the Glass-Steagall Act, a Depression-era statute aimed at reducing risky activities previously undertaken by the nation's banks. The GLB Act is intended, among other things, to facilitate affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance firms and other financial companies. To further this goal, the GLB Act amended portions of the BHC Act to authorize bank holding companies, such as the Company, through non-bank subsidiaries to engage in securities, insurance and other activities that are financial in nature or incidental to a financial activity. In order to undertake such activities, a bank holding company must become a "financial holding company" by submitting to the Board a declaration that the company elects to be a financial holding company and a certification that all of the depository institutions controlled by the company are well capitalized and well managed. The GLB Act also provides that a bank holding company's election to become a financial holding company will not be effective if the Board finds that, as of the date the company submits its election to the Board, not all of the insured depository institutions controlled by the company have achieved at least a "satisfactory" rating at the date of their most recent CRA examination. The activities of bank holding companies that are not financial holding companies will continue to be limited to activities currently authorized under the BHC Act, such as activities that the Board has previously determined in regulations and orders issued under the BHC Act to be closely related to banking and permissible for bank holding companies. In order to implement the provisions of the GLB Act, the Board by adopting an interim rule effective as of March 11, 2000, amended its Regulation Y by adding a new subpart that defines the term "financial holding company" and establishes procedures by which a bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company. The interim rule also enumerates the criteria a bank holding company must meet in order for the Board to determine that an election is effective, and describing the period within which the Board will act on an election, and sets forth the consequences if any depository institution controlled by a financial holding company fails to maintain at least a satisfactory CRA rating. For the time being, the Company has decided not to make an election to convert to a financial holding company. The GLB Act also prohibits a financial institution from disclosing non-public information about a consumer to nonaffiliated third parties unless the institution satisfies various disclosure and opt-out requirements and the consumer has not elected to opt out of the disclosure. Under the GLB Act, a financial institution must provide its customers with a notice of its privacy policies and practices, and the Board, the FDIC and other financial regulatory agencies are authorized to issue regulations to implement notice requirements and restrictions on a financial institution's ability to disclose non-public personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. Accordingly, in February, 2000, these agencies proposed an extensive joint rule to implement the foregoing provisions of the GLB Act. Although the formal rulemaking process will not be completed until later in the year 2000, if the final rule adopted remains substantially similar to the proposed rule, an additional regulatory burden on the Company and the Bank will be imposed in regard to notifying customers of the Bank's privacy policies and practices. However, because the Company 11 and the Bank are not now engaged in selling or transferring non-public customer information to nonaffiliated third parties, it is anticipated that adoption of the final rule by the regulatory agencies will not result in material economic cost to the Company or the Bank. Another new piece of legislation with the potential to have an impact on the Bank is the "Banking on Illinois Act" (the "Act"), which became effective in mid-1999 and amended the IBA to provide a potential wide range of new activities for the Bank. The stated purpose of this Act is to reduce the number of bank headquarters lost to other states through interstate mergers by promoting Illinois as a progressive place for banks to do business. Accordingly, this Act directs the courts and regulators to liberally construe the provisions of the IBA in order to create a favorable business climate for banks in Illinois. The main features of this Act are to expand bank powers through a new "wild card" provision authorizing Illinois chartered banks to offer virtually any product or service that any bank or thrift may offer anywhere in the country, subject to certain safety and soundness considerations. This Act also gives Illinois chartered banks more options with respect to corporate governance, and gives the banks new liability protections, especially with respect to fees. Management of the Bank remains aware of the favorable environment created by this Act and will consider the advantages that may become available to the Bank as a result of such legislation. ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION THE FOLLOWING IS A DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE INFORMATION SET FORTH UNDER "GENERAL" IN ITEM 1 AND THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT GENERAL The profitability of the Company's operations depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between total interest earned on interest earning assets and total interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. The Company's net income is affected by its provision for loan losses as well as other income and other expenses. The provision for loan losses reflects the amount thought to be adequate to cover estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio. Non-interest income or other income consists of loan service fees, deposit service fees, net lease financing income, net gains (losses) on the sale of securities available for sale, and other operating income. Other expenses include salaries and employee benefits along with occupancy and equipment expenses, intangibles amortization and other operating expenses. The amount of net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and mix of earning assets, the level of interest rates earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities, and the level of interest rates paid on those interest bearing liabilities. The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and Management's assessment of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, as well as economic and market conditions. Other income and other expenses are impacted by growth of operations and growth in the number of accounts through both acquisitions and core banking business growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses as a result of additional employees, branch facilities and promotional marketing expense. Growth in the number of accounts affects other income including service fees as well as other expenses such as computer services, supplies, postage, telephone and other miscellaneous expenses. 17 NET INTEREST INCOME The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest bearing liabilities, and the resultant costs, expressed both in dollars and rates. Non-taxable investment income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a 35% tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 and a 34% tax rate for the years ended December 1998 and 1997 (dollars in thousands): YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1999 1998 ------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- AVERAGE YIELD/ AVERAGE YIELD/ BALANCE INTEREST RATE BALANCE INTEREST RATE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ INTEREST EARNING ASSETS: Loans (1) (2) $ 781,718 $ 63,887 8.17% $ 534,141 $ 44,929 8.41% Taxable investment securities 280,940 17,228 6.13 210,826 11,787 5.59 Investment securities exempt from federal income taxes(3) 5,460 492 9.02 4,448 462 10.39 Federal funds sold 16,712 796 4.76 11,335 611 5.39 Other interest bearing deposits 1,167 60 5.14 - - - ------------- ------------ ----------- ------------ Total interest earning 1,085,997 82,463 7.59 760,750 57,789 7.60 assets ------------ ------------ Non-interest earning assets 104,687 79,753 ------------- ----------- Total assets $ 1,190,684 $ 840,503 ============= =========== INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES: Deposits: NOW and money market deposit Accounts $ 171,749 4,714 2.74 $ 141,628 4,517 3.19 Savings deposit 147,597 3,718 2.52 84,092 2,077 2.47 Time deposits 440,982 22,627 5.13 286,718 15,725 5.48 Short-term borrowings 109,375 5,381 4.92 100,391 5,118 5.10 Long-term borrowings 92,270 5,327 5.77 29,923 2,389 7.98 ------------- ------------ ----------- ------------ Total interest bearing 961,973 41,767 4.34 642,752 29,826 4.64 liabilities ------------ ------------ Demand deposits - non-interest Bearing 136,662 127,013 Other non-interest bearing 19,842 13,451 liabilities Minority interest in subsidiary - 1,236 Stockholders' equity 72,207 56,051 ------------- ----------- Total liabilities and stockholders Equity $ 1,190,684 $ 840,503 == ========== == ======== Net interest income/interest rate spread (4) $ 40,696 3.25 $ 27,963 2.96 ============ ========== ============ ========= Net interest margin (5) 3.75% 3.68% ========== ========= ----------------------------------- 1997 ----------------------------------- AVERAGE YIELD/ BALANCE INTEREST RATE ----------------------------------- INTEREST EARNING ASSETS: Loans (1) (2) 482,049 $ 41,313 8.57% Taxable investment securities 138,037 8,527 6.18 Investment securities exempt from federal income taxes 7,720 656 8.50 (3) Federal funds sold 21,299 1,413 6.63 Other interest bearing deposits - - - ---------- -------- Total interest earning 649,105 51,909 8.00 assets -------- Non-interest earning assets 75,979 ---------- Total assets $ 725,084 INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES: Deposits: NOW and money market deposit Accounts $ 151,544 4,873 3.22 Savings deposit 86,445 2,187 2.53 Time deposits 265,477 14,557 5.48 Short-term borrowings 20,066 1,353 6.74 Long-term borrowings 23,632 2,202 9.32 ---------- -------- Total interest bearing 547,164 25,172 4.60 liabilities -------- Demand deposits - non-interest Bearing 113,355 Other non-interest bearing 10,965 liabilities Minority interest in subsidiary 4,890 Stockholders' equity 48,710 ---------- Total liabilities and stockholders Equity $ 725,084 ========== Net interest income/interest rate spread (4) $ 26,737 3.40 ==================== Net interest margin (5) 4.12% ======= (1) Non-accrual loans are included in average loans. (2) Interest income includes loan origination fees of $1.0 million, $769 thousand, $501 thousand for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. (3) Non-taxable investment income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a 35% tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1999 and a 34% tax rate for the years ended 1998 and 1997. (4) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest earning assets and the average cost of interest bearing liabilities. (5) Net interest margin represents net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets. 18 For the year ended December 31, 1999, net interest income increased $12.7 million to $40.5 million from $27.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net interest income resulted from an increase in interest income of $24.7 million, or 42.8%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $11.9 million, or 40.0%. Approximately $9.8 million of the increase related to loans acquired through the merger with Avondale (the "merger") while approximately $2.9 million was from the Company's continued growth in its commercial and lease banking businesses. Interest income increased due to a $325.2 million, or 42.8%, increase in average interest earning assets, while interest expense rose as a result of a $319.2 million, or 49.7%, increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Approximately $295.0 million of the increase in average interest earning assets and approximately $257.0 million of the increase in average interest bearing liabilities was due to the merger. The remaining increase in average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities was due to growth in the Company's commercial and lease banking businesses. The net interest margin increased from 3.68% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 3.75% for the year ended December 31, 1999. For the year ended December 31, 1998, net interest income increased $1.3 million to $27.8 million from $26.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in net interest income resulted from an increase in interest income of $5.9 million, or 11.5%, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $4.7 million, or 18.5%. Interest income increased due to a $111.6 million, or 17.2%, increase in average interest earning assets while interest expense rose as a result of a $95.6 million, or 17.5%, increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Much of the increase was due to the purchase of U.S. Bancorp, Inc. in May 1997 with averages and related income included from the purchase date forward offset by the effect of the sale of Coal City National Bank. The remaining increase is due to growth in the Company's core banking businesses. Although the net interest income increased in 1998, the net interest margin decreased from 4.12% for the year ended December 31, 1997 to 3.68% for the year ended December 31, 1998. This decrease was due to increased leverage in the Company's balance sheet as a result of the purchase of certain additional U.S. Treasury investments and the addition of certain repurchase agreements used to fund those investments. RATE VOLUME ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME The following table sets forth the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in volumes of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have historically affected the Company's interest income and interest expense for the periods presented.

Without these special items in 1998, other income would have been $5.6 million. Loan service fees increased $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 due to the acquisition of loan servicing activities acquired through the merger. Other operating income increased $793 thousand due to a $631 thousand increase in brokerage fees and a $278 thousand increase in automated teller machine fees resulting from the expansion of brokerage servicing fee activities and additional branch facilities acquired through the merger. Offsetting these increases were a $694 thousand decrease in net lease financing due to a $336 thousand write down in the residual value of specific lease equipment as well as some gains for equipment sold at the end of the lease terms during 1998. For the year ended December 31, 1998, other income increased $5.0 million to $9.9 million from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was due to a $4.1 million gain resulting from the sale of Coal City National Bank, a $200 thousand gain on the sale of a trust business, a $463 thousand increase in service fees, primarily due to higher fees charged, and a $246 thousand increase in lease financing business resulting from some gains for equipment sold at the end of the lease terms. OTHER EXPENSE For the year ended December 31, 1999 other expense increased $6.5 million to $33.6 million from $27.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to operating costs associated with the five additional branches and personnel acquired through the merger. Salaries and employee benefits increased $4.3 million, occupancy and equipment expenses increased $1.7 million and other operating expenses increased $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the year ended December 31, 1998. The increase in other operating expenses included a $362 thousand increase in computer services due to improvements made to the Company's computer systems, a $312 thousand increase in loan collection expenses, a $177 thousand increase in advertising and marketing, $125 thousand increase in automated teller machine (ATM) expense, the result of distributing new ATM's in the Company's network, $167 thousand increase in FDIC premiums as well as $157 thousand increase in stationery, printing and supplies expense. In addition, intangible amortization expense decreased $782 thousand for the year ended December 31,1999 compared to the year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in intangible amortization represents a decrease in goodwill amortization of $137 thousand and a decrease in core deposit intangible amortization of $645 thousand. The Company utilizes an accelerated amortization method which amortizes more of the purchase premium related to acquisitions in early years than in later years. For the year ended December 31, 1998, other expense increased $2.8 million to $27.0 million from $24.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. This increase was due to eight months of additional expenses due to the purchase of U.S. Bancorp in May 1997. INCOME TAXES For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded income tax expense of $4.8 million compared to $3.6 million for the same period for 1998. Income before taxes and minority interest for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased $4.8 million compared to the same period for 1998. The effective tax rate decreased to 32.6% for the year ended December 31, 1999 from 36.2% for the year ended December 31, 1998 as the Company continued to review and manage its income tax expense. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.6 million compared to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. Income before taxes and minority interest for the year ended December 31, 1998 increased $3.7 million compared to the same period for 1997. The effective tax rate decreased to 36.2% for the year ended December 31, 1998 from 38.2% for the year ended December 31, 1997 as the Company continued to review and manage its income tax expense. 20 INVESTMENT SECURITIES The primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to provide a source of earnings for liquidity management purposes, and to control interest rate risk. In managing the portfolio, the Company seeks to obtain the objectives of safety of principal, liquidity, diversification and maximized return on funds.

Commercial loans originated by Manufacturers Bank have grown 120.4% from $70.3 million at December 31, 1995 to $154.8 million at December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to internal loan growth as well as the acquisition of U.S. Bancorp. Real estate and construction real estate loans originated by Manufacturers Bank increased 147.4% from $154.9 million at December 31, 1995 to $383.2 million at December 31, 1999 primarily due attributable to the acquisition of U.S. Bancorp which had total real estate and construction real estate loans of $116.4 million at the acquisition date. In addition, commercial loans collateralized by lease payments increased 72.7% from 108.2 million at December 31, 1995 compared to $186.9 million at December 31, 1999 due entirely to continued growth of the lease banking business. LOAN MATURITIES The following table sets forth the maturities of commercial and construction real estate loans outstanding at December 31, 1999.

Non-performing loans include (i) loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis, (ii) accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest and principal; and (iii) loans whose terms have been renegotiated to provide reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower. Management reviews the loan portfolio for problem loans on an ongoing basis. During the ordinary course of business, Management becomes aware of borrowers that may not be able to meet the contractual requirements of loan agreements. Such loans are placed under close supervision with consideration given to placing the loan on a non-accrual status, increasing the allowance for loan losses, and (if appropriate) partial or full charge-off. Those loans with respect to which Management does not expect to collect interest in the normal course of business are placed on a non-accrual status. After a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any current year interest previously accrued but not yet collected is reversed against current income. If interest payments are received on non-accrual loans, such payments will be applied to principal and not taken into income. Loans will not be placed back on accrual status unless all back interest and principal payments are made. If interest on non-accrual loans had been accrued, such income would have amounted to $876 thousand and $490 thousand for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Non-performing assets also consist of OREO, which represents properties acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings and is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less the estimated cost of disposal. OREO is evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amount is supported by its current fair value. Valuation allowances to reduce the carrying amount to fair value less estimated costs of disposal are recorded as necessary. Revenues and expenses from the operations of OREO and changes in the valuation are included in other income and other expenses on the income statement. 24 At December 31, 1999, non-performing assets increased $5.7 million to $11.1 million from $5.3 million at December 31, 1998 due to a $5.9 million increase in non-performing loans. Non-performing loans increased due to a $7.0 million increase in non-accruing loans acquired from Avondale offset by a $1.1 million decrease in non-accruing loans originated by Manufacturers Bank at December 31, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998. Non-accruing loans originated by Manufacturers Bank decreased, as certain non-accruing loans were deemed uncollectible and charged-off. At December 31, 1999, other real estate owned decreased to $353 thousand from $442 thousand at December 31, 1998. Other real estate owned originated by Manufacturers Bank decreased $283 thousand due to Management's on-going efforts to sell these properties. Other real estate owned acquired from Avondale was $194 thousand. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing loans, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. 25 The following table presents an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods presented (dollars in thousands): YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of period $ 6,344 $ 7,922 $ 4,692 $ 4,134 $ 2,646 Decreases resulting from sale of subsidiary - (399) - - - Additions resulting from acquisitions - - 2,574 - 1,317 Additions resulting from merger 9,489 - - - - Provision for loan losses 1,260 750 971 572 240 Charge-offs: Originated by Manufacturers Bank: Commercial 126 846 178 - 70 Commercial loans collateralized by lease payments 377 - - - - Commercial real estate 139 - - - - Residential real estate 259 1,224 97 - - Construction real estate 972 - - - - Installment and other 25 20 68 29 4 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total charge-offs originated by Manufacturers Bank 1,898 2,090 343 29 74 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Acquired from Avondale Federal Savings Bank: Commercial real estate 4 - - - - Residential real estate - - - - - Credit scored mortgage loans 3,039 - - - - Installment and other 557 - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total charge-offs acquired from Avondal Federal Savings Bank 3,600 - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total charge-offs 5,498 2,090 343 29 74 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Recoveries: Originated by Manufacturers Bank: Commercial - 35 - 15 5 Commercial loans collateralized by lease payments - - - - - Commercial real estate 33 - - - - Residential real estate 5 89 - - - Construction real estate - - 10 - - Installment and other 7 37 18 - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total recoveries originated by Manufacturers Bank 45 161 28 15 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Acquired from Avondale Federal Savings Bank: Residential real estate 2 - - - - Credit scored mortgage loans 549 - - - - Installment and other 6 - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total recoveries acquired from Avondale Federal Savings Bank 557 - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Total recoveries 602 161 28 15 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Net charge-offs 4,896 1,929 315 14 69 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, $ 12,197 $ 6,344 $ 7,922 $ 4,692 $ 4,134 ======================================================================= Total loans at December 31, $ 903,126 $ 548,353 $ 527,321 $ 388,302 $ 339,326 Ratio of allowance to total loans 1.35% 1.16% 1.50% 1.21% 1.22% 26 For the year ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, there were net charge-offs of $4.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 1999, net charge-offs on loans originated by Manufacturers Bank decreased $237 thousand compared to the same period for 1998. Net charge-offs on loans acquired from Avondale were $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. At the merger date, Avondale's allowance for loan losses was $9.5 million. Management reviewed Avondale's calculation, based on credit scoring models and other criteria, and concluded that the allowance for loan losses related to loans acquired through the merger was adequate. To date, losses associated with the loan portfolio acquired from Avondale are consistent with losses indicated by the credit scoring models and other criteria at the merger date. The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan losses for the periods presented and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans. An allocation for a loan classification is only for internal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance and is not an indication of expected or anticipated losses. The allowance is available for all loan losses.

Control of the Company's loan quality is continually monitored by Management and is reviewed by the Board of Directors and loan committee of the Bank on a monthly basis, subject to oversight by the Company's Board of Directors through its members who serve on the loan committee. Independent external review of the loan portfolio is conducted by regulatory authorities and by independent public accountants in conjunction with their annual audit. In addition, the Company utilizes an independent third party loan review. The amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses which are charged to earnings through the provision for loan losses is determined based on a variety of factors, including actual charge-offs and anticipated charge-offs, delinquent loans, historical loss experience and economic conditions in the Bank's market area. Although Management believes the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover potential losses, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses in the future. 27 CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLES AND GOODWILL In acquiring its subsidiary banks, the Company recorded a portion of the purchase price as core deposit intangibles, which represented value assigned to the existing deposit base for which the annual interest and servicing costs are below market rates. In addition, the excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The following table sets forth for each acquisition the core deposit intangible and goodwill amortization expense for the last five years and the expected expense for 2000 to 2004 (in thousands): PLANNED AMORTIZATION YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------- Manufacturers National Corporation (1992) $ 70 $ 70 $ 70 $ 70 $ 70 Peterson Bank (1995) 313 368 531 730 770 U.S. Bancorp, Inc.

Avondale receives annual servicing fees and rights to future cash flows (interest only securities) arising after the investors in the securitization trusts received the return for which they contracted. In addition, Avondale retained a participation interest in the investor trusts, reflecting the excess of the total amount of loans transferred to the trusts over the portion represented by certificates sold to investors. Through the merger the Company acquired servicing rights related to these loans, the retained participation interest in the investor trusts and the interest only securities. The annual servicing fees received by the Company approximate 0.75% of the outstanding loan balance and approximate the Company's cost to service the loans. The investors and their securitization trusts have no recourse to the Company's other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. Most of the Company's retained interest in the investor trusts are generally restricted until investors have been fully paid and is subordinate to investor's interest. The retained interest is included with securities available for sale and is reflected as investments in equity lines of credit trusts. At December 31, 1999, interest only securities acquired were $13.8 million. The value of these interest only securities is subject to substantial credit, prepayment, and interest rate risk on the transferred financial assets. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs a review to determine the fair value of its interest only securities, as these securities are accounted for as securities available for sale. As part of the review, the Company reviews its assumptions of prepayment speeds, discount rates and the remaining anticipated credit losses. The following table shows the results of the Company's assumptions used to estimate the fair value at December 31, 1999 (dollars in thousands): INTEREST ONLY SECURITY POOLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 96-1 97-1 97-2 98-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adjustable (1) Adjustable (1) Adjustable (1) Adjustable (1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated fair value $ 2,636 $ 2,578 $ 4,059 $ 4,548 Prepayment speed 35.00% 37.00% 35.00% 32.00% Weighted-average life (in years) (2) 2.03 1.98 2.12 2.47 Expected credit losses (3) 5.08% 6.08% 6.30% 7.26% Residual cash flows discounted at 12.00% 12.00% 12.00% 12.00% Loans outstanding at December 31, 1999 $ 23,068 $ 28,272 $ 39,631 $ 68,451 (1) Rates for these loans are adjusted based on the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. (2) The weighted-average life in years of prepayable assets is calculated by summing (a) the principal collections expected in each future year multiplied by (b) the number of years until collection, and then dividing that sum by the initial principal balance. This is not explicitly assumed but it reflects the overall effect of prepayment assumptions. (3) Assumed remaining credit losses over the life remaining on the loans outstanding at December 31, 1999 are $1.2 million, $1.7 million, $2.5 million and $5.0 million for 96-1, 97-1, 97-2 and 98-1, respectively. The estimated credit loss percentage is derived by dividing the remaining credit losses by the related loan balance outstanding in the pool. 29 The following presents the sensitivity of current fair values of residual cash flows to immediate 10% and 20% adverse and favorable changes in assumptions used in measuring the Company's retained interest in the investor trusts (dollars in thousands): INTEREST ONLY SECURITY POOLS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 96-1 97-1 97-2 98-1 TOTAL ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated fair value $ 2,636 $ 2,578 $ 4,059 $ 4,548 $ 13,821 Prepayment speed assumption (annual rate) 35.00% 37.00% 35.00% 32.00% - Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change $ (123) $ (166) $ (272) $ (581) $ (1,142) Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change (237) (319) (524) (1,112) (2,192) Impact on fair value of 10% favorable change 132 180 295 636 1,243 Impact on fair value of 20% favorable change 274 375 613 1,332 2,594 Expected credit losses (annual rate) 5.08% 6.08% 6.30% 7.26% - Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change $ (81) $ (116) $ (202) $ (394) $ (793) Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change (161) (232) (404) (788) (1,585) Impact on fair value of 10% favorable change 81 116 203 394 794 Impact on fair value of 20% favorable change 162 232 407 788 1,589 Residual cash flows discount rate (annual) 12.00% 12.00% 12.00% 12.00% - Impact on fair value of 10% adverse change $ (134) $ (141) $ (194) $ (149) $ (618) Impact on fair value of 20% adverse change (262) (275) (378) (289) (1,204) Impact on fair value of 10% favorable change 142 150 206 158 656 Impact on fair value of 20% favorable change 292 308 423 326 1,349 These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, any change in fair value based on a 10% or 20% variation in assumptions cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value is not linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated independent from any change in another assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Specifically, increased or accelerated credit losses may increase prepayment speeds. 30 SOURCES OF FUNDS GENERAL. Deposits, short-term and long-term borrowings, loan and investment security repayments and prepayments, proceeds from the sale of securities, and cash flows generated from operations are the primary sources of the Company's funds for lending, investing, leasing and other general purposes. Loan repayments are a relatively predictable source of funds except during periods of significant interest rate declines, while deposit flows tend to fluctuate with prevailing interests rates, money markets conditions, general economic conditions and competition. DEPOSITS. The Company offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Manufacturers Bank's core deposits consist of regular (passbook) savings accounts, statement savings accounts, checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts and non-public certificates of deposit. These deposits, along with public fund deposits and short-term and long-term borrowings are used to support the Company's asset base. The Company's deposits are obtained predominantly from the geographic trade areas surrounding each of the Company's office locations. The Company relies primarily on customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and retain deposits; however, market interest rates and rates offered by competing financial institutions significantly affect the Company's ability to attract and retain deposits. The Company also has deposits of $32.8 million from a single public entity located in Illinois. These deposits have been with the Company for more than 14 years and while the Company does not consider these deposits to be core deposits, it does believe that they are stable. Management of the Company is careful to consider the impact of the possible withdrawal of these deposits on the Company's liquidity and overall funding needs. The following table sets forth the maturities of certificates of deposits and other time deposits at December 31,1999 and December 31, 1998 (in thousands): AT AT DECEMBER 31, 1999 DECEMBER 31, 1998 ------------------------------------------ Maturing within three months $ 246,334 $ 152,279 After three but within six months 111,866 67,455 After six but within twelve months 78,039 43,556 After twelve months 37,639 29,012 -------------- -------------- $ 473,878 $ 292,302 ============== ============== BORROWINGS. The Company has access to a variety of borrowing sources and uses short-term and long-term borrowings to support its asset base. Short-term borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, U.S. Treasury demand notes, Federal Home Loan advances and correspondent bank lines of credit. From time to time, the company enters into short-term low-risk arbitrage transactions pursuant to which it purchases U.S. Treasury securities as well as mortgage backed securities, and a few days later permanently funds the purchase by entering into a reverse repurchase agreement with a securities dealer. These transactions have the effect of inflating short-term borrowings. The Company also offers a deposit account that sweeps balances in excess of an agreed upon target amount into overnight repurchase agreements. As business customers have grown more sophisticated in managing their daily cash position, demand for the sweep product has increased. Short-term borrowings increased from $130.5 million at December 31, 1998, to $244.6 million at December 31, 1999. This increase included $125.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, of which $100.0 million were acquired through the merger, $56.0 million of Federal funds purchased and a $5.0 million correspondent bank line of credit. Offsetting these increases was a $69.3 million decrease in U.S. Treasury securities sold under agreements to repurchase. 31 The following table sets forth certain information regarding the short-term borrowings of the Company for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): AT DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------------------------------ 1999 1998 1997 1996 ------------------------------------------------------------- Federal funds purchased: Average balance outstanding $ 5,968 $ 2,286 $ 5,650 $ 4,280 Maximum outstanding at any month-end during the period 56,000 13,400 1,600 20,200 Balance outstanding at end of period 56,000 - - - Weighted average interest rate during the period 5.78% 5.77% 8.81% 8.32% Weighted average interest rate at end of the period 5.79% - - - Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: Average balance outstanding $ 68,270 $ 91,180 $ 11,929 $ 3,680 Maximum outstanding at any month-end during the period 131,244 179,023 53,681 14,477 Balance outstanding at end of period 55,681 127,288 12,385 2,194 Weighted average interest rate during the period 4.57% 5.09% 6.15% 5.68% Weighted average interest rate at end of the period 5.31% 4.64% 4.90% 4.32% U.S. Treasury demand notes: Average balance outstanding $ 2,272 $ 3,056 $ 2,487 $ 2,052 Maximum outstanding at any month-end during the period 6,103 6,150 6,863 7,167 Balance outstanding at end of period 2,888 3,233 5,628 7,167 Weighted average interest rate during the period 4.58% 5.04% 4.87% 5.07% Weighted average interest rate at end of the period 4.55% 4.77% 5.33% 4.78% Federal Home Loan Bank advances: Average balance outstanding $ 31,123 $ - $ - $ - Maximum outstanding at any month-end during the period 125,000 - - - Balance outstanding at end of period 125,000 - - - Weighted average interest rate during the period 5.54 - - - Weighted average interest rate at end of the period 5.82 - - - Correspondent bank lines of credit: Average balance outstanding 1,742 - - - Maximum outstanding at any month-end during the period 5,000 - - - Balance outstanding at end of period 5,000 - - - Weighted average interest rate during the period 6.47% - - - Weighted average interest rate at end of the period 7.43% - - - Other short-term borrowings: Average balance outstanding $ - $ 3,869 $ - $ - Maximum outstanding at any month-end during the period - 5,937 - - Balance outstanding at end of period - - - - Weighted average interest rate during the period - 4.99% - - Weighted average interest rate at end of the period - - - - Total short-term borrowings Average balance outstanding $ 109,375 $ 100,391 $ 20,066 $ 10,012 Maximum outstanding at any month-end during the period 323,347 204,510 62,144 41,844 Balance outstanding at end of period 244,569 130,521 18,013 9,361 Weighted average interest rate during the period 4.87% 5.10% 6.74% 6.68% Weighted average interest rate at end of the period 5.70% 4.65% 4.95% 4.54% Long-term borrowings include notes payable to other banks to support a portfolio of equipment that the Company owns and leases to other companies as well as general debt incurred to fund recent corporate acquisitions. Long-term borrowings decreased to $32.7 million at December 31, 1999 from $37.0 million at December 31, 1998. This decrease was due to converting correspondent bank debt, arising from a line of credit, from long-term to short-term classification in 1999 compared to 1998. Offsetting this decrease was an $803 thousand increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances acquired through the merger. 32 LIQUIDITY BANK LIQUIDITY. Manufacturers Bank's primary sources of funds are retail and commercial deposits, short-term and long-term borrowings, and funds generated from operations. Funds from operations include principal and interest payments received on loans and securities and proceeds from the sale of securities and loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities provide an indication of the timing of the receipt of funds, changes in interest rates, economic conditions and competition strongly influence mortgage prepayment rates and deposit flows, reducing the predictability of the timing on sources of funds. Manufacturers Bank has no required regulatory liquidity ratios to maintain; however, it adheres to a Liquidity Policy, approved by its Board of Directors, which sets certain guidelines for liquidity purposes. This policy requires that Manufacturers Bank maintain the following liquidity ratios: 1. Liquidity ratio (defined as cash, short-term investments, marketable securities and investment grade scheduled lease loan payments due in one year or less divided by deposits plus short-term liabilities) greater than 20%. 2. Loans to deposit ratio minus public funds ratio less than 100%. 3. Loans minus investment grade leases to deposits minus public funds less than 95%. At December 31, 1999, Manufacturers Bank was in substantial compliance with the foregoing policy. Generally, when Manufacturers Bank's loan to deposit ratios become higher than policy guidelines, Manufacturers Bank sells Lease Loans to reduce the volume of total loans and to provide a source of funds. In 1999, Manufacturers Bank sold approximately $8.0 million of Lease Loans to remain in compliance with the Liquidity Policy. Liquidity management is monitored by the Asset/Liability Committee of Manufacturers Bank, which takes into account the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of funding and the level of unfunded commitments. At December 31, 1999, Manufacturers Bank had outstanding origination loan commitments and unused commercial and retail lines of credit of $243.0 million. Manufacturers Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current origination and other lending commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature within one year totaled $436.2 million at December 31, 1999. Manufacturers Bank expects a substantial majority of these certificates of deposit to remain with Manufacturers Bank. In the event that additional short-term liquidity is needed, Manufacturers Bank has established relationships with several large regional banks to provide short-term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchases. While there are no firm lending commitments in place, Manufacturers Bank has borrowed, and Management believes that Manufacturers Bank could again borrow, more than $75.0 million for a short time from these banks on a collective basis. Additionally, Manufacturers Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and has the ability to borrow from the FHLB. CORPORATION LIQUIDITY. The Company's main sources of liquidity at the holding company level are dividends from Manufacturers Bank passed on to the Company through Manufacturers National Corporation and a line of credit maintained with a large regional correspondent bank in the amount of $15.0 million. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had $10.0 million undrawn and available under its line of credit. Manufacturers Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies, which affect Manufacturers Bank's ability to pay dividends to MB Financial Inc. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Additionally, Bank policy requires that dividends cannot be declared in an amount that would cause Manufacturers Bank's capital to fall below the minimum amount required for Manufacturers Bank to be considered "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes. At December 31, 1999, Manufacturers Bank could pay $24.5 million of dividends and comply with such minimum regulatory capital requirements. 33 CAPITAL RESOURCES Manufacturers Bank is subject to the risk based capital regulations administered by the banking regulatory agencies. The risk based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Under the regulations, assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. Under the prompt corrective action regulations, to be adequately capitalized a bank must maintain minimum ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.00%, and Tier 1 capital to total assets of 4.00%. Failure to meet these capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators, that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Manufacturers Bank's financial statements. As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the federal banking regulators categorized Manufacturers Bank as well capitalized. A well capitalized institution must maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.00%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of at least 6.00%, a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of at least 5.00% and must not be subject to any written order, agreement or directive requiring it to meet or maintain a specific capital level. There are no conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed Manufacturers Bank's capital classification. The Company, on a consolidated basis, must maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 4.00%, and a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00%. The Company and Manufacturers Bank were in full compliance with all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject as of December 31, 1999. The required and actual amounts and ratios for the Company and Manufacturers Bank as of December 31, 1999 are presented below (dollars in thousands): TO BE WELL CAPITALIZED UNDER FOR CAPITAL PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTUAL ADEQUACY PURPOSES ACTION PROVISIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As of December 31, 1999 Total capital (to risk-weighted assets): MB Financial, Inc. $ 105,291 10.01% $ 84,134 8.00% N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 108,506 10.34% 83,978 8.00% $ 104,972 10.00% Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets): MB Financial, Inc. 93,094 8.85% 42,067 4.00% N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 96,309 9.17% 41,989 4.00% 62,983 6.00% Tier 1 capital (to average assets): MB Financial, Inc. 93,094 7.47% 49,841 4.00% N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 96,309 7.74% 49,797 4.00% 62,246 5.00% As of December 31, 1998 Total capital (to risk-weighted assets): MB Financial, Inc. 61,382 10.00% 49,084 8.00% N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 62,917 10.26% 49,078 8.00% 61,347 10.00% Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets): MB Financial, Inc. 45,293 7.38% 24,547 4.00% N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 56,574 9.22% 24,539 4.00% 36,808 6.00% Tier 1 capital (to average assets): MB Financial, Inc. 45,293 5.25% 34,509 4.00% N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 56,574 6.57% 34,454 4.00% 43,068 5.00% 34 CASH EARNINGS The purchase method of accounting has been used to record each of the Company's acquisitions. As a result, the recorded basis of the net assets of the acquired entities has been adjusted to fair value. Adjustments included recording core deposit intangibles to reflect the difference between the fair value and underlying basis of deposits purchased and recording goodwill for the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Core deposit intangibles and goodwill are being amortized as a non-cash expense over periods of up to eight and 20 years, respectively. Amortization expense reduces net income during the amortization periods. If the Company's acquisitions had met certain accounting rules, the pooling of interest method of accounting may have been used to account for the Company's acquisitions. Under this method of accounting, no goodwill or core deposit intangibles would have been recorded. Consequently, net income is not reduced for the amortization of core deposit intangibles or goodwill. Since application of the two methods can result in dramatically different net income, management, certain analysts and certain peer financial institutions have been computing cash earnings in order to compare results. At present, cash earnings is not a defined term or concept under generally accepted accounting principles. The following table sets forth the Company's cash earnings, which is defined by management as net income excluding amortization of core deposit intangibles and goodwill and the related deferred income tax effect (dollars in thousands except earnings per share data): YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 --------------------------------------------------- Net Income $ 9,954 $ 6,255 $ 3,449 Goodwill amortization 815 952 801 Core deposit intangibles amortization (net of tax) 1,077 1,519 1,663 -------------------------------------------------- Cash earnings 11,846 8,726 5,913 Preferred dividends - (1,085) (276) -------------------------------------------------- Cash earnings to common stockholders $ 11,846 $ 7,641 $ 5,637 ================================================== Average tangible assets $ 1,175,002 $ 822,294 $ 671,111 Average tangible equity $ 57,939 $ 37,842 $ 22,477 Cash earnings per share: (1) (3) Basic $ 1.80 $ 1.87 $ 1.36 Diluted $ 1.80 $ 1.86 $ 1.36 Performance ratios: (2) (3) Cash return on average tangible assets 1.01% 0.93% 0.84% Cash return on average tangible equity 20.45% 20.19% 25.08% (1) Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the cash earnings by the average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the cash earnings by the average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. (2) The ratios for the year ended December 31, 1998 include the $4.1 million pre-tax gain on sale of Coal City National Bank. Basic and diluted cash earnings per share, excluding the gain on sale of Coal City National Bank, would have been $1.21. (3) Cash return on average tangible assets and equity, excluding the gain on sale of Coal City National Bank, would have been 0.61% and 13.06%, respectively. 35 STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS The Company's cash flows are composed of three classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.8 million, $12.7 million and $13.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $31.6 million, ($144.1) million and ($37.9) million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. The increase in net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period for 1998 was attributable to net proceeds from federal funds sold as well as decreases in loans, net of principal collections, purchase of securities available for sale, purchases of premises and equipment and lease equipment and cash acquired through the merger. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities was ($48.6) million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and $118.8 million for the same period for 1998 and $29.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period for 1998 was attributable to principal paid on long-term borrowings and a net decrease in interest bearing deposits. The increase in cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 was attributable to an increase in short term borrowings. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE A significant issue has emerged in the banking industry and for the economy overall regarding how existing computer systems recognize the Year 2000. Many existing computer programs and systems were originally programmed with nine digit dates that provided only two digits to identify the calendar year in the date field, without considering the upcoming change in the century. If computer systems are not adequately changed to identify the Year 2000, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results. As a result, many calculations that rely on the date field information, such as interest payment due dates and other operating functions, may generate results that could be significantly misstated, and the Company could experience a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. In addition, under certain circumstances, failure to adequately address the Year 2000 issue could adversely affect the creditworthiness of the Bank's borrowers. Thus, if not adequately addressed, the Year 2000 issue could result in a significant adverse impact on the products, services and competitive condition of the Company and the Bank. On March 20, 1998, the Examination Parity and Year 2000 Readiness for Financial Institutions Act, P.L. 105-164, became law. In that statute, Congress emphasized the seriousness with which financial services industry and its regulators must view the Year 2000 issue by requiring the regulators to conduct seminars for, and otherwise provide information and model approaches concerning common problems to, the nation's financial institutions concerning this problem. The regulators, acting through the FFIEC, have been compiling and disseminating such information through industry-wide pronouncements which emphasize that safety and soundness examinations would focus, among other things, on the institutions' awareness and preparations with respect to the Year 2000 issue. Failure to appropriately address the Year 2000 issue may result in supervisory actions, denials of regulatory applications and civil money penalties. We have tested our products and believe that they are year 2000 compliant. We have also inquired of significant vendors of our internal systems as to their year 2000 readiness, and we have also tested our material internal systems. We believe that, based on these tests and assurances of our vendors, we will not incur material costs to resolve year 2000 issues for our products and internal systems. Furthermore, to date we have not experienced any year 2000 problems and our customers or vendors have not informed us of any material year 2000 problems. If it comes to our attention that there are any year 2000 problems with our products or that some of our third-party hardware and software used in our internal systems are not year 2000 compliant, then we will endeavor to make modifications to our products and internal systems, or purchase new internal systems, to quickly respond to the problem. The costs already incurred by us to date related to year 2000 compliance are not material, and we do not anticipate incurring additional material costs related to year 2000 compliance. 36 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements made about the Company's future economic performance, strategic plans or objectives, revenues or earnings projections, or other financial items and similar statements are not guarantees of future performance, but are forward looking statements. By their nature, these statements are subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the statements. Important factors that might cause the Company's actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the following: - Federal and state legislative and regulatory developments; - Changes in management's estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; - Changes in management's valuation of the interest only securities; - Changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs; - Interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior and the Company's net interest margin; - The impact of repricing and competitors' pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products; - The Company's ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to meet customers' needs and developments in the market place; - The Company's ability to access cost effective funding; and o Changes in financial markets and general economic conditions. 37 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company's net interest income is subject to "interest rate risk" to the extent that it can vary based on changes in the general level of interest rates. It is the Company's policy to maintain an acceptable level of interest rate risk over a range of possible changes in interest rates while remaining responsive to market demand for loan and deposit products. The strategy employed by the Company to manage its interest rate risk is to measure its risk using an asset/liability simulation model and adjust the maturity of securities in its investment portfolio to manage that risk. Also, to limit risk, the Company generally does not make fixed rate loans or accept fixed rate deposits with terms of more than five years. Interest rate risk can also be measured by analyzing the extent to which the repricing of assets and liabilities are mismatched to create an interest sensitivity "gap." An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing 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. During a period of rising interest rates, therefore, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap position would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. 38 The following table sets forth the amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 1999, which are anticipated by the Company, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amount of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined based on the earlier of the term to repricing or the term to repayment of the asset or liability. The table is intended to provide an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at December 31, 1999 on the basis of contractual maturities and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be reinvested and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans. Loan and investment security prepayments are not considered significant; therefore, contractual maturities or repricing are not adjusted for possible prepayments. While NOW, money market and savings deposit accounts have adjustable rates, it is assumed that the interest rates on these accounts will not adjust immediately to changes in other interest rates. Therefore, the table is calculated assuming that these accounts will reprice as follows: 25% in the first three months, 25% in the next nine months, and 50% after one year (dollars in thousands): TIME TO MATURITY OR REPRICING ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 - 90 91 - 365 1 - 5 OVER 5 DAYS DAYS YEARS YEARS TOTAL ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST EARNING ASSETS: Net loans (1) $ 411,029 $ 102,726 $ 301,241 $ 77,430 $ 892,426 Investment securities - 17,432 78,635 175,246 271,313 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest earning assets $ 411,029 $ 120,158 $ 379,876 $ 252,676 $ 1,163,739 ======================================================================================= INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES: NOW and money market deposit accounts $ 41,754 $ 41,754 $ 83,504 $ - 167,012 Savings deposits 37,531 37,531 75,064 - 150,126 Time deposits 246,334 189,905 37,639 - 473,878 Short-term borrowings 244,569 - - - 244,569 Long-term borrowings - 4,431 3,267 25,000 32,698 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest bearing liabilities $ 570,188 $ 273,621 $ 199,474 $ 25,000 $ 1,068,283 ======================================================================================= Rate sensitive assets (RSA) $ 411,029 $ 531,187 $ 911,063 $ 1,163,739 $ 1,163,739 Rate sensitive liabilities (RSL) 570,188 843,809 1,043,283 1,068,283 1,068,283 Cumulative GAP (159,159) (312,622) (132,220) 95,456 95,456 (GAP=RSA-RSL) RSA/Total assets 31.39% 40.57% 69.58% 88.87% 88.87% RSL/Total assets 43.54% 64.44% 79.67% 81.58% 81.58% GAP/Total assets (12.15%) (23.87%) (10.10%) 7.29% 7.29% GAP/RSA (38.72%) (58.85%) (14.51%) 8.20% 8.20% (1) Less non-accrual loans totaling $10.7 million. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, 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 of assets may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Therefore, the Company does not rely solely on a gap analysis to manage its interest rate risk, but rather it uses what it believes to be the more reliable simulation model relating to changes in net interest income presented earlier. 39 Based on simulation modeling as of December 31, 1999, the Company's net interest income would change over a one-year time period due to changes in interest rates as follows (dollars in thousands): CHANGE IN NET INTEREST INCOME OVER ONE-YEAR HORIZON CHANGES IN AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1999 ----------------------- LEVEL OF DOLLAR PERCENTAGE ------- ---------- INTEREST RATES CHANGE CHANGE -------------- ------- -------- +2.00% $ (2,190) (4.57) +1.00 (1,131) (2.36) (1.00) 1,047 2.18 (2.00) 2,131 4.44 Simulations used by the Company assume the following: 1. Changes in interest rates are immediate. 2. With the exception of NOW, money market and savings accounts, all interest rates change by the same amount at the same time. 3. NOW, money market and savings accounts rates change by 0.25% for every 1.00% change in interest rates and by 0.50% for every 2.00% change in interest rates. Management believes, and experience has shown, that these deposit accounts take longer to change rates when economic conditions change and do not change rates as much as other general interest rates, such as prime or federal funds. It is Manufacturers Bank's policy that interest rate exposure due to a 2.00% interest rate rise or fall be limited to 7.50% of Manufacturers Bank's annual net interest income as forecasted by the simulation model. As demonstrated by the table above, Manufacturers Bank's interest rate risk exposure was within this policy at December 31, 1999. 40 ITEM 8.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audits 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 MB Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Mokena, Illinois March 20, 2000 43 MB FINANCIAL [GRAPHIC OMITTED] STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY MB Financial, Inc.'s management is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of its published financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, include amounts based on judgments and estimates made by management. Management also prepared other information included in the annual report and is responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the consolidated financial statements. The consolidate financial statements have been audited by an independent accounting firm, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, which has been given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of shareholders, the Board of Directors and committees of the Board. Management believes that representations made to the independent auditors during their audit were valid and appropriate. Management maintains a system of internal controls over the preparation of its published financial statements, which is intended to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's Board of Directors and officers regarding preparation of financial statements presented fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has long recognized its responsibility for conducting the Company's affairs in a manner, which is responsive to the interest of employees, stockholders, investors and society in general. This responsibility is included in the statement of policy on ethical standards which provides that the Company will fully comply with laws, rules and regulations of every community in which it operates and adhere to the highest ethical standards. Officers, employees and agents of the Company are expected and directed to manage the business of the Company with complete honesty, candor and integrity. Internal auditors monitor the operation of the internal control system, and actions are taken by management to respond to deficiencies as they are identified. The Board, operating through its audit committee, which is composed entirely of directors who are not officers or employees of the Company, provides oversight to the financial reporting process. Even effective internal controls, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, such as the possibility of human error or of circumvention or overriding of controls, and the consideration of cost in relation to benefit of a control. Further, the effectiveness of an internal control can change with circumstances. MB Financial, Inc.'s management periodically assesses the internal controls for inadequacy. Based upon these assessments, MB Financial, Inc.'s management believes that, in all material respects, its internal controls relating to preparation of consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1999 functioned effectively during the year ended December 31, 1999. /s/Mitchell Feiger /s/Howard A.

(formerly Coal City Corporation) (the "Company") is a bank holding company providing financial and other banking services to customers primarily located in Chicago, Illinois including Chicago's north side, Chicago's south side and Chicago's southern suburbs. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following subsidiaries: Coal City National Bank - 100% owned subsidiary, sold January 28, 1998 Manufacturers National Corporation - 100% owned subsidiary of MB Financial, Inc. Avondale Financial Services, Inc. - 100% owned subsidiary of Manufacturers Bank Manufacturers Community Development Corporation - 100% owned subsidiary of Manufacturers Bank Manufacturers Funding Corporation 100% owned subsidiary of Manufacturers Bank Manufacturers Bank - 100% owned subsidiary of Manufacturers National Corporation Ashland Management Agency, Inc. - 100% owned subsidiary of Manufacturers Bank MB 1200 Corporation - 100% owned subsidiary of Manufacturers Bank Manufacturers Deferred Exchange Corporation - 100% owned subsidiary of Manufacturers Bank Coal City Capital Trust I 100% owned subsidiary of MB Financial, Inc. All material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On February 26, 1999, Coal City Corporation, the holding company for Manufacturers Bank ("CCC") was merged with and into Avondale Financial Corp. ("Avondale"), the holding company for Avondale Federal Savings Bank. The resulting entity was renamed MB Financial, Inc. Simultaneously, Avondale Federal Savings Bank was merged into Manufacturers Bank. Since the CCC stockholders owned more than 50% of the combined company, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of accounting with CCC being the accounting acquirer. As a result, the post-merger historical financial statements of the combined company are CCC's as the accounting acquirer, and includes the operating results of Avondale since the merger date. 51 MB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (TABLE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT COMMON SHARE DATA) NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION: The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas involving the use of management's estimates and assumptions, and which are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance for loan losses and fair value of interest only securities. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on hand and amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing). Cash flows from loans originated by the Company, deposits, and federal funds purchased and sold and short-term borrowings are reported net. SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Bank's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as accumulated comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed by the interest method over their contractual lives, are recognized in interest income. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in earnings. SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY: Debt securities for which the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed by the interest method over their contractual lives, is included in interest income. LOANS HELD FOR SALE: Loans held for sale are those loans the Company intends to sell in the foreseeable future. They are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized at settlement dates and are determined by the difference between the sales proceeds plus the value of the mortgage servicing rights compared to the carrying value of the loans. All sales are made without recourse. There were no loans held for sale at December 31, 1999 and 1998. LOANS: Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal reduced by the allowance for loan losses. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield. The Company is amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan. Commitment fees based upon a percentage of a customer's unused line of credit and fees related to standby letters of credit are recognized over the commitment period. 52 MB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (TABLE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT COMMON SHARE DATA) NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Interest is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. For impaired loans, accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Cash collections on impaired loans are credited to the loan balance, and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been determined to be collectible. A loan is impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment, if any, and any subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing loans, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses, and may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. LEASE INVESTMENTS: The Company's investment in assets leased to others is reported as lease investments, net, using the direct finance and operating methods of accounting. Direct financing leases are stated at the sum of remaining minimum lease payments from lessees plus estimated residual values less unearned lease income. On a quarterly basis, management reviews the lease residuals for potential impairment. Unearned lease income on direct financing leases is recognized over the lives of the leases using the level-yield method. The investment in equipment in operating leases is stated at cost less depreciation using the straight-line method over a five-year life. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method for buildings and computer equipment, and primarily by the 200% declining balance method for all other assets over the following estimated useful lives: YEARS ------------ Land improvements 20 Buildings 15-39 Leasehold and other improvements 5-20 Furniture and equipment 3-15 53 MB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (TABLE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT COMMON SHARE DATA) NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) INTEREST ONLY SECURITIES: Interest only securities represent the present value of future cash flows based on the "excess spread" between the yield of underlying loans sold and the securities issued and reflect estimates of prepayments, servicing fees, operating expenses, credit losses and other factors. The interest only securities were acquired through the Avondale merger. The interest only securities are amortized as cash flows are received. The fair value of the interest only securities is evaluated on a quarterly basis for impairment. The Company classifies its interest only securities as available-for-sale and any adjustments to the fair value of the securities are included in the comprehensive income unless such adjustment is considered by management to be other than temporary. INTANGIBLES: In acquiring its subsidiaries, the portion of the purchase price which represents value assigned to the existing deposit base for which the annual interest and servicing costs are below market rates (core deposit intangibles) is being amortized by the declining balance method over three to nine years. The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) is being amortized on the straight-line method over fifteen to twenty years. The Company reviews its intangible assets annually to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the intangibles with the anticipated future cash flows. INCOME TAXES: The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards, tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE: Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relates solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method. Earnings per common share have been computed for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 based on the following (in thousands except common share data): 1999 1998 1997 ---------------------------------------------------- Net income $ 9,954 $ 6,255 $ 3,449 Less: Preferred stock dividends - 1,085 276 ---------------------------------------------------- Net income applicable to common stock $ 9,954 $ 5,170 $ 3,173 ==================================================== Weighted average common shares outstanding 6,586,596 4,093,254 4,151,036 Effect of dilutive options 11,462 37,742 - ---------------------------------------------------- Weighted average common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share 6,598,058 4,130,996 4,151,036 ==================================================== Each share of Coal City Common Stock issued and outstanding on February 26, 1999 was converted into 83.5 shares of Avondale Financial Corp. Therefore, common share data for the year ended December 31, 1998 was converted using an exchange ratio of 83.5 to 1. 54 MB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (TABLE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT COMMON SHARE DATA) NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: The Company adopted SFAS 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, as of January 1, 1998. Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The adoption of SFAS 130 had no effect on the Company's net income or stockholders' equity. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In June 1997, the FASB adopted SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. This Statement supersedes SFAS No. 14, FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR SEGMENTS OF A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, and utilizes the "management approach" for segment reporting. The management approach is based on the way that the chief operating decision maker organizes segments within a company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on any manner in which management disaggregates its company such as by products and services, geography, legal structure and management structure. SFAS 131 requires disclosure for each segment that are similar to those required under current standards with the addition of quarterly disclosure requirements and more specific and detailed geographic disclosures. This Statement also requires descriptive information about the way the operating segments were determined. The provisions of SFAS 131 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted. The Company adopted SFAS No. 131 at December 31, 1998 and the Company views its banking business as its only segment. For purposes of SFAS No. 131, management evaluates financial performance and manages operations on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment. In June 1998, the FASB adopted SFAS 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. In June 1999, the FASB adopted SFAS 137 ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137 is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, may be implemented as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after September 30, 1998 but cannot be applied retroactively. Management has not yet determined the impact of this standard. In October 1998, the FASB adopted SFAS 134, ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES RETAINED AFTER THE SECURITIZATION OF MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE BY A MORTGAGE BANKING ENTERPRISE. The Statement amends SFAS 65, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES, and requires that after the securitization of mortgage loans held for sale, an entity engaged in mortgage banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed securities or other retained interests based on its ability and intent to sell or hold those investments. The provisions of SFAS 134 are effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998 and were adopted on January 1, 1999. The adoption of SFAS 134 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. 55 MB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (TABLE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT COMMON SHARE DATA) NOTE 2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES On February 26, 1999, Coal City Corporation (Coal City), the holding company for Manufacturers Bank (the "Bank"), was merged with and into Avondale Financial Corp. (Avondale), the holding company for Avondale Federal Savings Bank. The resulting entity was renamed MB Financial, Inc. Simultaneously, Avondale Federal Savings Bank was merged into Manufacturers Bank. Since the Coal City stockholders owned more than 50% of the combined company, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the purchase method of accounting with Coal City being the accounting acquirer. As a result, the post-merger historical financial statements of the combined company are Coal City's as the accounting acquirer, and includes the operating results of Avondale since the merger date. Total consideration based upon Avondale's shares outstanding at the merger date times the estimated market value per share at the merger announcement date, was $26.4 million plus $1.1 million of merger expenses incurred by Coal City. Included in the purchase accounting adjustments was an accrual of $4.4 million for merger related costs. The accrual includes estimated costs for termination of data processing contracts, professional fees, severance and personnel related expenses and lease contracts. At December 31, 1999, the remaining liability was approximately $975,000 primarily for lease contracts and severance costs. The majority of the remaining costs are scheduled to occur by the end of 2000. The unaudited pro forma results of operation, which follow, assume that the merger had occurred at January 1, 1998. In addition to combining the historical results of operations of the companies, the pro forma calculations include purchase accounting adjustments related to the acquisition. The pro forma calculations do not include any anticipated cost savings as a result of the merger. Unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows (in thousands except earnings per share data): 1999 1998 ------------------------------------ Net interest income $ 43,057 $ 44,614 ==================================== Net income 8,222 1,115 ==================================== Net income available to common stockholders 8,222 30 ==================================== Basic earnings per common share $ 1.17 $ 0.00 ==================================== Diluted earnings per common share $ 1.17 $ 0.00 ==================================== The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred had the merger actually taken place at the beginning of the respective periods, or of results which may occur in the future. 56 MB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (TABLE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT COMMON SHARE DATA) On May 7, 1997, the Company, through its subsidiary, Manufacturers National Corporation, completed the purchase of 100% of U.S. Bancorp, Inc. for $40,210,000. The purchase price was paid through a series of transactions involving cash of $15,800,000, preferred stock of $10,200,000 and cash held by U.S. Bancorp, Inc. of $14,210,000. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with the results of operations of U.S. Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary subsequent to the effective date of the agreement, April 30, 1997, included in the consolidated financial statements. The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) was $8,637,000. Goodwill is being amortized over a twenty-year period. On January 28, 1998, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding shares of Coal City National Bank common stock for cash of $7,800,000. The net assets of Coal City National Bank at January 28, 1998 were approximately $3,701,000. NOTE 3. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS The Bank is required to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank, based on a percentage of deposits. The total of those reserve balances was approximately $1,391,000 and $1,147,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. NOTE 4.

Avondale received annual servicing fees and rights to future cash flows (interest only securities) arising after the investors in the securitization trusts received the return for which they are contracted. In addition, Avondale retained a participation interest in the investor trusts, reflecting the excess of the total amount of loans transferred to the trusts over the portion represented by certificates sold to investors. Through the merger the Company acquired servicing rights related to these loans, the retained participation interest in the investor trusts and interest only securities. The annual servicing fees received by the Company approximate 0.75% of the outstanding loan balance and approximate the Company's cost to service the loans. The investors and their securitization trusts have no recourse to the Company's other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. Most of the Company's retained interest in the investor trusts are generally restricted once investors have been fully paid and is subordinate to investor's interest. The retained interest is included with securities available for sale and is reflected as investments in equity lines of credit trusts. At December 31, 1999, interest only securities were $13.8 million. The value of these interest only securities is subject to substantial credit, prepayment, and interest rate risk on the transferred financial assets. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs a review to determine the fair value of its interest only securities, as these securities are accounted for as securities available for sale. As part of the review, the Company reviews its assumptions of prepayment speeds, discount rates and anticipated credit losses. The following table shows the results of the Company's assumptions used in measuring its retained interest in the investor trust: INTEREST ONLY SECURITY POOLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 96-1 97-1 97-2 98-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adjustable (1) Adjustable (1) Adjustable (1) Adjustable (1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated fair value $2,636 $2,578 $4,059 $4,548 Prepayment speed 35.00% 37.00% 35.00% 32.00% Weighted-average life (in years) (2) 2.03 1.98 2.12 2.47 Expected credit losses (3) 5.08% 6.08% 6.30% 7.26% Residual cash flows discounted at 12.00% 12.00% 12.00% 12.00% (1) Rates for these loans are adjusted based on the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. (2) The weighted-average life in years of prepayable assets is calculated by summing (a) the principal collections expected in each future year multiplied by (b) the number of years until collection, and then dividing that sum by the initial principal balance. This is not explicitly assumed but it reflects the overall effect of prepayment assumptions. (3) Remaining credit losses over the life remaining on the loans are $1.2 million, $1.7 million, $2.5 million and $5.0 million for Trusts 96-1, 97-1, 97-2 and 98-1, respectively. The estimated credit loss percentage is derived by dividing the remaining credit losses by the related loan balance outstanding in the pool. 62 MB FINANCIAL, INC.

LONG-TERM BORROWINGS The Company had notes payable to banks totaling $6,895,000 and $8,534,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998 which accrue interest at rates ranging from 6.35% to 9.64% and require aggregate monthly payments of $306,000, including interest at various dates through April 1, 2004. Equipment included in lease investments, with a December 31, 1999 and 1998 depreciated cost of $8,813,000 and $10,248,000, is pledged as collateral on these notes. In July 1998, the Company issued $25.0 million in floating rate Preferred Capital Securities (Capital Securities) through Coal City Capital Trust I (Trust), a statutory business trust and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Capital Securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 180 basis points. Proceeds from the sale of the Capital Securities were invested by the Trust in floating rate (3-month LIBOR plus 180 basis points) Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Debentures) issued by the Company which represents all of the assets of the Trust. The Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Junior Subordinated Debentures at the stated maturity in the year 2028 or their earlier redemption, in each case at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Capital Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption. Prior redemption is permitted under certain circumstances. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 $25.0 million were outstanding. At December 31, 1999, the Company had advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $803,000. The advances mature on June 8, 2003 and interest on the advances is stated at 2.50%. Certain securities with a carrying amount of approximately $303,825 were pledged as collateral for the Federal Home Loan Bank advances, at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1998, the Company had a secured revolving note payable to LaSalle National Bank with an outstanding balance of $3,250,000. The note bears interest at a rate equal to the adjusted LIBOR rate, 7.06% at December 31, 1998. The note required quarterly payments of interest only on the outstanding balance. At July 31, 1999, the secured revolving note payable was converted to short-term borrowings. At December 31, 1998, the Company had an unsecured revolving note payable to LaSalle National Bank with an outstanding balance of $250,000. The note bears interest at the bank's prime rate, 7.75% at December 31, 1998, and required payments of interest only on the outstanding balance. At July 31, 1999 the unsecured revolving note payable was converted to the secured revolving note payable and classified as short-term borrowings.

Net rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $1.8 million, $483,000 and $317,000, respectively. NOTE 14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan which covers all full-time employees of Manufacturers Bank who have completed three months of service prior to the first day of each month. In addition, as a result of the merger, the Company also has a defined contribution 401(k) plan which covers all full-time employees of Avondale Federal Savings Bank who had completed three months of service at the merger date. Effective January 1, 2000, Avondale Federal Savings Bank 401(k) plan will be merged with the Manufacturers Bank 401(k) plan. The Company's contributions consist of a discretionary profit-sharing contribution and a discretionary matching contribution of the amounts contributed by the participants. The Company's contributions are determined by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. During 1999, the Company contributed on behalf of each participant under the Manufacturers Bank plan a matching contribution equal to 50% of each participant's contribution up to a maximum of 4% of their compensation along with a profit sharing contribution of 4% of total compensation. Each participant under the Manufacturers Bank plan may also contribute up to fifteen percent of his/her compensation on a pretax basis. The Company's contributions to the Manufacturers Bank plan, for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, were $320,200, $635,000 and $441,000, respectively. In addition, during 1999, the Company contributed on behalf of each participant under the Avondale Federal Savings Bank plan a matching contribution equal to 50% for the first 2% of the participant's contribution and 25% for the next 4% of the participant's contribution up to a maximum of $500. Each participant under the Avondale Federal Savings Bank plan may also contribute 15% of his/her compensation on a pretax basis.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES CREDIT-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk: CONTRACT AMOUNT ------------------------------------- 1999 1998 ------------------------------------- Commitments to grant loans $ 189,898 $ 103,812 Unfunded commitments under lines of credit 39,140 22,520 Commercial and standby letters of credit 13,949 10,263 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 may require a payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the customer. Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit are uncollateralized and unusually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters-of-credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK: The majority of the loans, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Company's market area. Investments in securities issued by state and political subdivisions also involve governmental entities within the Company's market area. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers. CONTINGENCIES: In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 68 MB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (TABLE AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT COMMON SHARE DATA) NOTE 17. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS The Company's primary source of cash is dividends from the Bank. The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. The dividends declared cannot be in excess of the amount which would cause the Bank to fall below the minimum required for capital adequacy purposes. The Bank also has an internal policy that dividends declared will not be in excess of the amounts which would cause the Bank to fall below the minimum required to be categorized as well capitalized. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company's and Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items are calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject as of December 31, 1999. As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain the total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the well capitalized column in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's categories. The required and actual amounts and ratios for the Company and Manufacturers Bank are presented below: TO BE WELL CAPITALIZED UNDER FOR CAPITAL PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTUAL ADEQUACY PURPOSES ACTION PROVISIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of December 31, 1999 Total capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated $ 105,291 10.01 % $ 84,134 8.00 % N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 108,506 10.34 83,978 8.00 $ 104,972 10.00 % Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated 93,094 8.85 42,067 4.00 N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 96,309 9.17 41,989 4.00 62,983 6.00 Tier 1 capital (to average assets): Consolidated 93,094 7.47 49,841 4.00 N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 96,309 7.74 49,797 4.00 62,246 5.00 As of December 31, 1998 Total capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated 61,382 10.00 49,094 8.00 N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 62,917 10.26 49,078 8.00 61,347 10.00 Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets): Consolidated 45,293 7.38 24,547 4.00 N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 56,574 9.22 24,539 4.00 36,808 6.00 Tier 1 capital (to average assets): Consolidated 45,293 5.25 34,509 4.00 N/A N/A Manufacturers Bank 56,574 6.57 34,454 4.00 43,068 5.00 N/A - not applicable 69 MB FINANCIAL, INC.

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION AND INTEREST RATE RISK Fair values of financial instruments are management's estimate of the values at which the instruments could be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. These estimates are subjective and may vary significantly from amounts that would be realized in actual transactions. In addition, other significant assets are not considered financial assets including deferred tax assets, premises and equipment and intangibles. Further, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks, other interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold approximate their fair values. SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY AND AVAILABLE FOR SALE: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. STOCK IN FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK: No ready market exists for the stock, and it has no quoted market value. The stock is redeemable at par therefore; fair value equals cost. LOANS: Most commercial loans, and some real estate mortgage loans, are made on a variable rate basis. For those variable-rate loans that reprice frequently, and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for fixed rate and all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. INTEREST ONLY SECURITIES: For interest-only securities, cash flows are projected over the life of the securitized loans using prepayment, delinquency, default and interest rate assumptions that market participants would use for similar financial instruments subject to prepayment, credit and interest rate risk. These cash flows are then discounted using an interest rate that a purchaser unrelated to the seller of such financial instruments would demand. DEPOSIT LIABILITIES: The fair values disclosed for deposits with no defined maturities are equal to their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair value at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS: The fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings (other than deposits) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE AND RECEIVABLE: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS: Fair values for the Company's off-balance-sheet lending commitments (guarantees, letters of credit and commitments to extend credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counter parties' credit standing. 70 MB FINANCIAL, INC.

FAIR VALUE INFORMATION AND INTEREST RATE RISK (CONTINUED) The estimated fair value of financial instruments is as follows: DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CARRYING CARRYING AMOUNT FAIR VALUE AMOUNT FAIR VALUE - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial Assets Cash and due from banks $ 29,420 $ 29,420 $ 23,669 $ 23,669 Other interest bearing deposits 1,487 1,487 - - Federal funds sold - - 20,350 20,350 Securities available for sale 271,313 271,313 212,020 212,020 Securities held to maturity - - 11,142 11,529 Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank 6,290 6,290 2,614 2,614 Loans 890,929 889,869 542,009 549,737 Accrued interest receivable 8,146 8,146 4,872 4,872 Interest only securities 13,821 13,821 Financial Liabilities Deposits 936,075 931,016 645,661 646,201 Short-term borrowings 244,569 244,569 130,521 130,521 Long-term borrowings 32,698 32,649 37,034 37,034 Accrued interest payable 2,461 2,461 2,652 2,652 Off-balance-sheet instruments, loan commitments and standby letters of credit - - The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company's financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment and less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company's overall interest rate risk. NOTE 19. STOCK OPTION PLAN Through the Avondale merger, the Company adopted the Omnibus Incentive Plan which was established in 1997 and modified February 10, 1999. Options outstanding under the Company's previous plan adopted in 1995 were transferred to the 1997 plan with the number of options and exercise prices being converted using a ratio of 83.5 to 1. The Plan reserves 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance to key employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries under a stock option plan approved by the Board of Directors and stockholders. A grant under the Plan may be options intended to be incentive stock options (ISO), non-qualified stock options (NQSO), stock appreciation rights or restricted stock.

Each option granted shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant; provided however, that no option shall be exercisable later than the fifteenth anniversary date of its grant. The option price for each grant of an option shall be determined by the Committee, provided that the option price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date the option is granted. In the event any holder of 10% or more of the shares is granted an incentive stock option, the option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. Once an option has been granted, the option price with respect thereto may not be changed. At December 31, 1999, there were 748,434 outstanding options under the Plan. There are no stock appreciation rights or restricted shares outstanding as of December 31, 1999.
