MB FINANCIAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MB Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operation and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and industry practice.
Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and industry practice has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes the
disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements are adequate so that
the financial statements are not misleading. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1999 audited financial
statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the
reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. THE MERGER
On February 26, 1999, Coal City Corporation ("CCC"), the holding
company for Manufacturers Bank ("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. 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 March 31, 2000, the remaining
liability was approximately $895 thousand primarily for lease contracts and
severance costs. The majority of the remaining costs are scheduled to be payable
by the end of 2000. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term the
"Company" includes MB Financial, Inc., its subsidiaries and predecessor.

3. REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Company and it's subsidiary, Manufacturers 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 to
average assets (as defined). Management believes the Company and Bank meet all
capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject as of March 31, 2000.
As of March 31, 2000, 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 the Bank
are presented below (dollars in thousands):

================== ================== ================
At March 31, 2000, December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999, the Company
had Preferred Capital Securities of $25.0 million which were issued in July
1998. These Preferred Capital Securities were issued with a floating rate
through Coal City Capital Trust I (Trust), a statutory business trust and wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. The Preferred 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 Preferred
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 Preferred Capital Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in
whole or in part, upon repayment of the 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 Preferred Capital Securities plus
any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption.
Prior redemption is permitted under certain circumstances.
At March 31, 2000, December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999, the Company
had loans for the purchase of equipment and other loans of $6.6 million, $6.9
million and $7.8 million, respectively. At March 31, 2000, these loans had
various interest rates and various scheduled maturity dates through June 2004.
Equipment included in lease investments is pledged as collateral on these notes.
At March 31, 2000, December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999, the Company
had advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $803 thousand, $803 thousand and
$100.8 million, respectively. The Company pledged its stock in the Federal Home
Loan Bank as collateral for these advances. In addition, the Company is required
to maintain certain qualifying first mortgage loans or mortgage backed
securities in an amount equal to at least 170% of the outstanding advances. At
March 31, 2000, December 31, 1999 and March 31, 1999, $803 thousand of the
advances bears interest at a rate of 2.50% and are scheduled to mature in 2003.
At March 31, 1999, $100.0 million of the advances bears interest at a rate of
4.69% and are scheduled to mature in 2008; they are callable, however, at any
time by the Federal Home Loan Bank. In 1999, subsequent to March 31, 1999, the
$100.0 million of advances were reclassified from long-term to short-term
borrowings, as these borrowings were called and re-negotiated.
The Company had two lines of credit for a secured note payable and an
unsecured note payable with a correspondent bank at March 31, 1999. The secured
note payable had an outstanding balance of $4.2 million, bearing interest at a
rate equal to the adjusted LIBOR, 6.19%, and required quarterly payments of
interest only on the outstanding balance at March 31, 1999. The unsecured note
payable had an outstanding balance of $250 thousand, bearing interest at a rate
equal to the bank's prime rate, 7.75%, and required quarterly payments of
interest only on the outstanding balance at March 31, 1999. At July 31, 1999,
both notes were converted to short-term borrowings.
6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS
REPORT. ON FEBRUARY 26, 1999, COAL CITY CORPORATION, THE HOLDING COMPANY FOR
MANUFACTURERS BANK, WAS MERGED WITH AND INTO AVONDALE FINANCIAL CORP., 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. THIS TRANSACTION SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS THE
COMPARATIVE INFORMATION DISCUSSED BELOW.
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, increase in cash surrender value of life
insurance 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income of $2.7 million for the first quarter of
2000 compared to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 1999. Net interest income
increased $2.9 million to $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2000 compared
to $7.9 million for the same period in 1999. The increase in net interest income
was due to growth in the Company's commercial and lease banking businesses as
well as the merger. First quarter of 1999 included the operating results of
Avondale for the month of March only, while the first quarter of 2000 included
the combined company's operating results for the entire three-month period.
Other income increased $1.2 million to $2.8 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 from $1.6 million for the same period in 1999. This
increase was due to increases in loan service fees, deposit service fees, and
other operating income primarily as a result of the merger. In addition, the
Company had income from increase in cash surrender value of life insurance which
the Company invested in as of March 2, 2000. Also contributing to the increase
in other income was an increase in other operating income resulting from
expanded brokerage fee activities and a net gain on the sale of other real
estate owned.
Other expense increased $1.9 million from $7.1 million for the first
quarter of 1999 to $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2000 mainly from the
merger. The increase in other expense included increases in salaries and
employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, and other operating expense
which had increases in advertising and marketing, computer services, stationery
and supplies, and telecommunication costs.

assuming a 35% tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and a 34% tax

(1) Non-accrual loans are included in average loans.
(2) Interest income includes loan origination fees of $387,000 and $189,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
(3) Non-taxable investment income is presented on a fully tax equivalent
basis assuming a 35% tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and a 34% tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
(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.
The Company's net interest income increased $2.9 million to $10.9
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $7.9 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 due to growth in commercial and lease banking businesses
and the merger. Details underlying the increase in net interest income included
an increase in interest income of $6.8 million, or 40.3%, due to a $235.8
million, or 25.0%, increase in average interest earning assets, partially offset
by an increase in interest expense of $3.8 million, or 43.3%, due to a $242.6
million, or 29.3%, increase in average interest bearing liabilities. The net
interest margin increased from 3.44% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 to
3.72% for the same period in 2000. The net interest margin for the first quarter
of 1999 was lower due to increased leverage in the Company's balance sheet
resulting from approximately $70.2 million of investments funded by repurchase
agreements compared to the same period in 2000. Excluding the effect of the
increased leverage in the Company's balance sheet, the net interest margin for
the first quarter of 1999 would have been 3.85% and 3.80% for the first quarter
of 2000. In addition, the Company purchased $30.0 million in cash surrender
value of life insurance in March of 2000. This transaction has the effect of
reducing the net interest margin by 0.03% in the first quarter of 2000.

12
OTHER INCOME
Other income increased $1.2 million to $2.8 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 from $1.6 million for the same period in 1999. This
increase was the result of a $374 thousand increase in loan service fees and a
$141 thousand increase in deposit service fees mainly due to the merger. In
addition, the Company had a $162 thousand increase in cash surrender value of
life insurance which the Company invested in as of March 2, 2000. Also
contributing to the increase in other income was a $119 thousand increase in
brokerage fees due to the expansion of brokerage servicing fee activities, and a
$85 thousand increase in net gain on the sale of other real estate owned.
OTHER EXPENSE
Other expense increased from $7.1 million for the first quarter of 1999
to $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2000. The increase in other expense was
primarily due to the merger and included a $973 thousand increase in salaries
and employee benefits, a $380 thousand increase in occupancy and equipment
expense which included a $202 thousand increase in office rental and a $80
thousand increase in banking house depreciation, and a $679 thousand increase in
other operating expense. Other operating expense increases resulted from a $204
thousand increase in advertising and marketing, a $112 thousand increase in
computer services, a $92 thousand increase in stationery and supplies, and a $74
thousand increase in telecommunication costs.
INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $759 thousand for the same period
in 1999 reflecting the increase in the Company's income before taxes in 2000 due
to the merger. The effective tax rate was 31.8% for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 34.5% for the same period in 1999.
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. Cash earnings is presently
not a defined term or concept under generally accepted accounting principles.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Total assets increased $48.0 million to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2000
compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase was due to a $25.4
million increase in loans and the purchase of $30.0 million in cash surrender
value of life insurance in March of 2000. Offsetting this increase was a $4.6
million decrease in securities available for sale.
Total deposits increased $20.8 million to $956.9 million at March
31, 2000 compared to $936.1 million at December 31, 1999 as the Company
acquired $25.6 million in broker deposits in the first quarter of 2000. These
deposits are long-term and mature between March 2003 and February 2005.
Short-term borrowings increased $23.1 million to $267.7 million at March 31,
2000 compared to $244.6 million at December 31, 1999. The increase was due
primarily to a $20.0 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Long-term borrowings remained relatively flat at $32.4 million at March 31,
2000 compared to $32.7 million at December 31, 1999.
Total assets increased $15.6 million to $1.4 billion at March 31,
2000 compared to $1.3 billion at March 31, 1999. The increase was due to a
$142.7 million increase in loans and a $18.2 million increase in net lease
investments as a result of the Company's strong and continuing growth in its
commercial and lease banking businesses. In addition, the Company purchased
$30.0 million in cash surrender value of life insurance in March of 2000.
Offsetting this increase was a $111.1 million decrease in securities
available for sale, due to a $70.2 million decrease in investments funded by
short-term borrowings, and a $42.2 million decrease in Federal funds sold.
Short-term borrowings increased $129.7 million to $267.7 million at
March 31, 2000 compared to $138.0 million at March 31, 1999. The increase was
due to a $140.0 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, of which
$100.0 million was reclassified to short-term borrowings from long-term
borrowings, a $61.9 million increase in Federal funds purchased and a $70.2
million decrease in repurchase agreements used to fund U.S. Treasury
investments. Long-term borrowings decreased $105.7 million to $32.4 million at
March 31, 2000 compared to $138.1 million at March 31, 1999. The decrease was
due to a $100.0 million decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances
reclassified from long-term borrowings to short-term borrowings.

estate owned. At March 31, 2000, non-performing assets decreased $144 thousand
to 11.3 million from 11.5 million at March 31, 1999 due to a $229 thousand
decrease in other real estate owned offset by a $85 thousand increase in
non-performing loans. The decrease in other real estate owned was due to
Management's on-going efforts to sell these properties.

================== =================
Total loans at March 31, $ 928,567 $ 785,909
Ratio of allowance to total loans 1.32% 2.01%
The Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level 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. In February 1999, $9.5 million was added to the allowance for loan
losses through the merger. Based on credit scoring and other criteria, the
Company estimated the loan losses associated with the loan portfolio acquired
through the merger. At the time of the merger, the estimated losses were fully
reserved with the addition to the allowance for loan losses by Avondale. The
provision for loan losses increased $504 thousand for the first quarter of 2000
compared to the same period for 1999 reflecting the increases in the loan
portfolio and management's estimates of potential charge-offs.
17
INTEREST ONLY SECURITIES
At March 31, 2000 interest only securities acquired through the merger
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 March 31, 2000 (dollars in thousands):

Loans outstanding at March 31, 2000 $ 20,438 $ 25,934 $ 35,574 $ 61,250
(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 current
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 March 31, 2000 are $1.1 million, $1.5
million, $2.1 million and $4.2 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.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
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
$7.0 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was
($58.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and $20.0 million for
the same period in 1999. The increase in net cash used in investing activities
for the first quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 was due to a
decrease in proceeds from maturities and calls of securities available for sale,
a decrease in net Federal funds sold and the purchase of cash surrender value of
life insurance in March of 2000. Net cash provided by (used in) financing
activities was $43.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
($17.4) million for the same period in 1999. The increase in net cash provided
by financing activities for the first quarter of 2000 compared to the same
period in 1999 was due to increases in net interest bearing deposits and net
short-term borrowings.
The Company expects to have available cash to meet its liquidity needs.
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. 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 purchased. 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. MB Financial, Inc. also maintains a line of
credit with a large regional correspondent bank in the amount of $15.0 million.
As of March 31, 2000, MB Financial had $10.0 million undrawn and available under
its line of credit.
The Bank's total risk-based capital ratio was 10.11%, Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets ratio was 9.00%, and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
In anticipation of potential year 2000 issues that result from the use
of two-digit rather than four-digit dates in software, the Company implemented a
program to assess its year 2000 readiness and, where appropriate, to implement
corrective actions. As a result of its efforts, the Company was prepared for the
transition to the year 2000 and did not experience any significant malfunctions
or errors in its operating or business systems when the date changed from 1999
to 2000. The company is not currently aware of any year 2000 problems that have
materially affected its customers or vendors. Based on operations since January
1, 2000, the Company does not anticipate any material disruption in its
operations as a result of any continuing year 2000 issues. However, it is
possible that latent problems may surface in the future. The Company believes
that any such problems are likely to be minor and correctable. The Company's
costs for its year 2000 activities were not material.
