                         NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial information of PRIVATEBANCORP, Inc. (the
"Company") and its Subsidiaries, The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the "Bank"
or "PrivateBank") and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), included herein is unaudited;
however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation for the interim periods. The financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.

     The annualized results of operations for the six months ended June 30,
2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year
ending December 31, 2000. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are
unaudited and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete
presentation of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 000-25887).

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

                        NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Related Hedging Activities", amended by SFAS No. 137
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the
Effective Date of SFAS No. 133--an Amendment of SFAS No. 133," and SFAS No. 138
"Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,"
will, on January 1, 2001, require all derivatives to be recorded at fair value
in the balance sheet, with changes in fair value recorded in the income
statement. If derivatives are documented and effective as hedges, the change in
the derivative fair value will be offset by an equal change in the fair value of
the hedged item. All hedge ineffectiveness will be recognized

                                        7



immediately in earnings. The Statement may be adopted early at the start of a
calendar quarter. The Company does not plan to adopt the Statement early and
adoption is not expected to have a material impact since the Company does not
have derivative instruments or hedging activity.

     Effective January 1, 2000, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the
Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking
Enterprise", allows mortgage loans that are securitized to be classified as
trading, available for sale, or in certain circumstances, held to maturity.
Since the Company has not securitized loans, this Statement does not currently
impact the Company.


                           NOTE 4 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

     The Company has four major lines of business: Private Banking Services

                          NOTE 7 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

     On June 23, 2000, the Company established The PrivateBank (St. Louis) as a
federal savings bank in St. Louis, Missouri. The PrivateBank (St. Louis) was
initially capitalized with $8.0 million of borrowed funds drawn from the
Company's revolving credit facility. The PrivateBank (St. Louis) is a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, and its financial condition and results of
operations are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     During the third quarter of 1999, the Company completed its initial public
offering of 1,035,000 shares of its common stock. The initial public offering
price was $18 per share, and the Company received aggregate net proceeds of
approximately $16.7 million after deducting underwriting commissions and
offering expenses and including the underwriters' overallotment shares.

     During March and April 1999, the Company's Board of Directors and
stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares to
12,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The
Board also approved a change in the per share stated value of the common stock
from $2.50 to $1.00 per share. Such change in authorized shares and change in
stated value became effective prior to the effectiveness of the registration
statement relating to the Company's initial public offering. On June 24, 1999,
to effect a two-for-one stock split, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
one-for-one stock dividend on its common stock payable on June 28, 1999, to
stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 25, 1999. All
references to number of shares, per share amounts and stock option data in the
consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split
on a retroactive basis.

                              NOTE 8 - ACQUISITIONS

     On August 3, 1999, in a stock for stock transaction, the Company completed
its acquisition of Towne Square Financial Corporation, a company in the process
of forming a de novo bank. At closing, the Company issued 91,668 shares of
common stock and recorded a one-time $1.3 million charge that is non-deductible
for tax purposes.

     On February 11, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of Johnson Bank
Illinois, a unit of Johnson International, Inc., Racine, Wisconsin. At closing,
Johnson Bank Illinois had total assets of approximately $113 million and total
deposits of approximately $77 million. The purchase price was $20 million. $15
million was paid in cash and the remainder was paid in the form of a
LIBOR-based, floating rate subordinated note issued to Johnson International in
the principal amount of $5 million. The interest rate on the subordinated note
is set each quarter based on the 90-day LIBOR rate. The note is payable in full
on or before February 11, 2007, and provides for certain rate escalation
beginning after two years.

     The cash portion of the purchase price was funded with $7.5 million out of
the remaining proceeds of the Company's initial public offering and $7.5 million
from borrowings under a new, two-year, $18 million revolving credit facility
with a commercial bank entered into at closing. The interest rate on borrowings
under this revolving line is based on, at the borrower's option, either the
lender's prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate.

     At closing, Johnson Bank Illinois was merged into the Bank. The two
acquired offices, located on Chicago's North Shore in Lake Forest and Winnetka,
became additional offices of the Bank. With the completion of the acquisition,
the Bank now operates six banking offices in the greater Chicago area.

     The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. All assets and liabilities
were adjusted for fair value as of the effective date of the merger creating
goodwill in the amount of $12.3 million, which was pushed-down to the Bank, and
is being amortized on the straight line basis over 15 years. Premiums and
discounts related to the Johnson Bank Illinois transaction were recorded on the
balance sheet as fair value adjustments and amounted to $20,045 and $2,344,041,
respectively.

                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
- --------

     PRIVATEBANCORP, Inc. was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1989 to
serve as the holding company for a de novo bank designed to provide highly
personalized financial services primarily to affluent individuals,
professionals, entrepreneurs and their business interests. Through the Company's
banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank and Trust Company and The PrivateBank (St.
Louis), the Company provides its clients with traditional personal and
commercial banking services, lending programs, and trust and asset management
services. Using the European tradition of "private banking" as the model,
PrivateBank strives to develop a unique relationship with clients, utilizing a
team of managing directors to serve the client's individual and corporate
banking needs, and tailoring products and services to meet such needs.
PrivateBank's managing directors are strategically located in seven Midwestern
United States locations. Currently, the Company has six Chicago-area offices:
Downtown Chicago, Wilmette, Illinois, Oak Brook, Illinois, St. Charles,
Illinois, Lake Forest, Illinois, and Winnetka, Illinois. The Company also
recently opened a new federal savings bank, The PrivateBank (St. Louis).

     The flagship downtown Chicago location opened in 1991. The Company expanded
to Wilmette in north suburban Cook County in 1994 and the Oak Brook facility in
west suburban DuPage County was established in 1997. The Company established the
St. Charles office in January 2000, in connection with its purchase of Towne
Square Financial Corporation (a company in the process of forming a de novo
bank) on August 3, 1999. On February 11, 2000, the Company consummated its
acquisition of Johnson Bank Illinois, adding additional locations of PrivateBank
in Lake Forest and Winnetka, Illinois on Chicago's North Shore.

     During the second quarter 2000, the Company received regulatory approval to
create a new subsidiary and on June 23, 2000, the Company capitalized The
PrivateBank (St. Louis). The expansion into St. Louis is consistent with the
Company's strategic objective of pursuing selective growth opportunities in
other mid-western markets. The St. Louis based bank focuses on specific niches
of clients who are seeking a higher level of service and a broad array of
personalized banking and wealth management products. The PrivateBank (St. Louis)
clients consist of individuals, small to medium-size businesses, commercial real
estate investors and professionals.

     For financial information regarding the Company's four separate lines of
business, Private Banking Services, The PrivateBank (St. Louis), Trust Services
and Holding Company Activities, see "Note 4--Operating Segments" to the
consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this report.

     The profitability of the Company's operations depends on net interest
income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income, and non-interest
expense. Net interest income is the difference between the income the Company
receives on its loan and investment portfolios and its cost of funds, which
consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The provision for loan
losses reflects the cost of credit risk in the loan portfolio. Non-interest
income consists primarily of trust fee income, and to a lesser extent, net
securities gains and fees for ancillary banking services. Noninterest expense
includes salaries and employee benefits as well as occupancy, data processing,
marketing, professional fees, insurance, goodwill and other expenses.

     Net interest income is dependent on the amounts and yields of
interest-earning assets as compared to the amounts and rates on interest-bearing
liabilities. Net interest income is sensitive to changes in market rates of
interest and our asset/liability management procedures in coping with such
changes. The provision for loan losses is dependent on increases in the loan
portfolio, management's assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio,
loss experience, as well as economic and market factors.

     Non-interest income from fees and deposit service charges are below peer
group levels. This is largely the result of the profile of the Company's typical
client. The clients tend to have larger deposit account balances than customers
of traditional banks. Because average balances tend to be high, the Company does
not earn high service charge income typical of community banks.

     Non-interest expenses are heavily influenced by the growth of operations.
Growth in the Company directly affects the majority of the Company's expense
categories. Profitability and expense ratios have been negatively

                                       13



impacted in 2000 due to the start-up operation of St. Charles, the acquisition
of Johnson Bank Illinois, and the opening of The PrivateBank (St. Louis). It is
expected that results for the remainder of 2000 will continue to be impacted to
some extent by the start-up nature of operations in St. Charles, St. Louis and
in the new offices acquired through the Johnson Bank Illinois transaction. The
Company currently estimates that the St. Charles office will first become
profitable early in 2001 and that The PrivateBank (St. Louis) will not begin to
operate profitably until the last quarter of 2001.

     On June 30, 1999, the Company priced its initial public offering of 900,000
shares of its common stock at $18 per share. The shares are listed on the Nasdaq
National Market System under the symbol PVTB. The closing date of the offering
was July 6, 1999, when the Company received net proceeds of approximately $14.4
million (after deduction of offering expenses). Offering expenses payable by the
Company were approximately $665,000. On July 26, 1999, an additional 135,000
shares were sold pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their over allotment
option for additional net proceeds of $2.3 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

     Income for the second quarter 2000 was $1,098,000, or $0.23 per diluted
share, compared to second quarter 1999 net income of $1,112,000, or $0.30 per
diluted share. Second quarter 2000 net income includes a full quarter of
financial results of the former Johnson Bank Illinois locations subsequent to
their acquisition on February 11, 2000. Excluding the effect of goodwill
amortization and acquisition interest expense associated with this transaction,
the two offices located in Winnetka and Lake Forest have contributed $525,000 to
the Company's net income on a year-to-date basis and $349,000 for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2000.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net income totaled $1,947,000, or
$0.41 per diluted share, compared to $2,139,000, or $0.58 per diluted share, for
the comparable period in 1999. The decrease in net income is primarily due to
increasing operating expenses associated with the Company's expansion strategy
which more than offset the Company's growth in net interest income and
non-interest income for the six months ended 2000 as compared to the same period
in 1999. The Company expects operating expenses to increase during the third
quarter relative to second quarter 2000 levels primarily due to the opening of
The PrivateBank (St. Louis) near the end of the second quarter.

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees on
earning assets and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Net interest
margin represents the net interest income on a tax equivalent basis as a
percentage of average earning assets during the period. Net interest margin
reflects the spread between average yields earned on interest earning assets and
the average rates paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowings. The volume
of non-interest bearing funds, largely comprised of demand deposits and capital,
also affects the net interest margin.

     Net interest income was $6.0 million and $3.6 million during the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, an increase of 67%. Average
earning assets during the 2000 second quarter were $648.2 million, an increase
of 55.6% over the prior year second quarter. The Company's net interest margin
(tax equivalent net interest income as a percentage of earning assets) was 3.81%
for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 3.71% for the prior year
period. During the second quarter 2000, increases in interest rates had an
immediate repricing effect on floating rate assets. The timing of repricing of
floating rate liabilities has lagged, resulting in an increased net interest
margin for the second quarter 2000. During the next two quarters in 2000, the
Company expects to experience margin pressure as increases in interest rates
paid on deposits and other funding sources are likely to exceed the effect of
higher rates earned on assets. In addition, the Company expects that new loan
growth in the second half of 2000 will be funded with growth in deposits,
supplemented by short-term borrowings and brokered deposits, at the higher
current market rates.

     Net interest income was $10.9 and $7.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Average earning assets increased by $199.1
million over the prior year period in 1999. The Company's net interest margin
was 3.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 3.67% for the prior
year period. Although rising interest rates have improved the yield on average
earning assets, interest expense on

                                       14



deposits and other borrowed funds has correspondingly increased, resulting in
reduced net interest spread between periods. Total net interest margin is
relatively unchanged between the six month periods due to the increase in
average non-interest bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     The following tables present a summary of the Company's net interest income
and related net interest margin, calculated on a tax equivalent basis (dollars
in thousands):

(1)   Interest income on tax advantaged investment securities reflects a tax
      equivalent adjustment based on a marginal federal corporate tax rate of
      34%. The total tax equivalent adjustment reflected in the above table is
      approximately $219,000 and $254,000 in the first three months of 2000 and
      1999, respectively, and $439,000 and $491,000 for the six months ended
      2000 and 1999, respectively.

     The following table shows the dollar amount of changes in interest income
and interest expense by major categories of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities attributable to changes in volume or rate or a mix
of both, for the periods indicated. Volume variances are computed using the
change in volume multiplied by the previous year's rate. Rate variances are
computed using the changes in rate multiplied by the previous year's volume.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The Company's provision for loan losses was $662,000 for the second quarter
of 2000, compared to $213,000 for the comparable period in 1999. The Company's
provision for loan losses was $973,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $498,000 for the comparable period in 1999. Increases in the
provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to
the prior year period are largely due to increasing loan volumes.

     The Company provides for an adequate allowance for loan losses that are
probable and inherent in the portfolio. Increases in the provision for loan
losses reflect the latest assessment of the inherent losses in the loan
portfolio. A discussion of the allowance for loan losses and the factors on
which provisions are based begins on page 19.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income for the quarter grew to $751,000, reflecting an
increase of $235,000, or 45.5% higher than in the second quarter of 1999. The
increase is primarily attributable to increases in service charge income and
trust fee revenues. Service charge income increased $107,000 over the prior year
quarter primarily due to fees earned on accounts related to the acquisition of
Johnson Bank Illinois. Trust fee revenue increased to $551,000 as compared to
the prior year quarter of $445,000. Trust assets under administration increased
to $761.8 million at June 30, 2000 compared to $666.6 million at June 30, 1999,
an increase of 14.3 percent. The completion of the Johnson Bank Illinois
acquisition increased trust assets under administration by approximately $50.0
million and expanded the Company's trust services beyond the Chicago office with
the addition of trust staff to its suburban offices.

     Non-interest income increased approximately $515,000 or 54%, to $1,473,000
for the first half of 2000, as compared to $958,000 for the comparable period in
1999. Trust income increased by $325,000 to $1,090,341 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000, reflecting an increase of 42.4% over the six months ended June
30, 1999. Service charge revenue increased by $126,000 to $256,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $130,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to the addition of the former
Johnson Bank Illinois offices in Winnetka and Lake Forest. The increase is
partially attributable to the recognition of $92,000 in securities gains during
the first quarter 2000.

     Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2000 increased by 87.1% or
$2.1 million as compared to the year earlier quarter. The increase from the
prior year level is due to expenses incurred in connection with the Company's
expansion initiatives. Non-interest expense for the second quarter 2000 includes
operating expenses of $309,000 and $413,000 related to the St. Charles and the
St. Louis offices, respectively. The Company expects operating expenses for The
PrivateBank (St. Louis) to increase for the remainder of 2000. Additionally, the
second quarter 2000 results reflect the addition of the two new locations
acquired through the Johnson Bank Illinois transaction which increased operating
expenses by $620,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the
prior year period. Operating expenses for these locations have almost doubled
since the first quarter, because the acquisition was consummated during the
middle of the first quarter 2000. Goodwill expense contributed to the increase
in non-interest expense in the amount of $206,000 for the second quarter 2000
reflecting a full quarter of amortization resulting from the Johnson Bank
Illinois acquisition. The remaining increase in non-interest expense is due to
overall growth in salaries and benefits, professional services and marketing
costs at the existing PrivateBank offices.

     The Company's efficiency ratio increased to 63.8% for the second quarter
2000 from 57.2% for the 1999 second quarter. While the efficiency ratio has
improved from the first quarter of 2000, the increase over the prior year
quarter indicates that on a tax-equivalent basis, in the second quarter of 2000
the Company spent 63.8 cents to

                                       17



generate each dollar of revenue, compared to only 57.2 cents in the second
quarter of 1999. The increased level of operating expenses are primarily the
result of the Company's expansion strategy. The Company expects the efficiency
ratio to remain high until business development efforts at the new offices
generate revenue sufficient to offset the growth in operating expenses.

     For the second quarter of 2000, salaries and benefits increased by
approximately $1.5 million reflecting the Company's increased level of full time
equivalent employees to 133 people versus 83 at June 30, 1999. The increase is
due primarily to the increased number of employees, including the senior
officers responsible for opening the St. Charles and St. Louis offices, as well
as the addition of employees from the Johnson Bank Illinois acquisition. The
main office in Chicago has also experienced growth in personnel during the
second quarter 2000 in response to the overall growth of the organization and to
increased staffing needs to support a public company.

     During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, professional fees increased by
$323,000 over the prior year quarter. The increase in professional fees reflects
increased legal, accounting and information-system consultation services.
Marketing expenses increased by $168,000 due to the use of a public relations
firm and investments in new marketing materials describing the Company's new
offices and products.

INCOME TAXES

     The following table shows the Company's income before income taxes,
applicable income taxes and effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively (in thousands):

                                                    ----------------------
                                                      2000         1999

Income tax provision.............................       967          700
Effective tax rate...............................      33.2%        24.7%

     The effective income tax rate varies from statutory rates principally due
to certain interest income which is tax-exempt for federal or state purposes,
and certain expenses which are disallowed for tax purposes. During 1999, the
Company initiated a tax-advantaged investment program and increased the
Company's municipal bond portfolio as a percentage of total investments. This
tax strategy had the effect of lowering the Company's effective tax rate during
the first and second quarters of 1999 and throughout the entire year. The
effective tax rate for 1999 was 30.1%. During the first quarter 2000, the
Johnson Bank Illinois acquisition caused the Company's effective tax rate to
increase since the acquired investment portfolio did not include federally
tax-exempt municipal securities.


                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets were $723.0 million at June 30, 2000, an increase of $284.8
million, or 65.0% over the $438.2 million a year earlier, and an increase of
$204.3 million, or 39.4% over the $518.7 million at December 31, 1999. The
balance sheet growth was accomplished mainly through the acquisition of Johnson
Bank Illinois, loan growth throughout the Company, and increased borrowings used
to capitalize The PrivateBank (St. Louis).

LOANS

     Total loans increased $248.2 million, or 74.0%, from $335.3 million at June
30, 1999, and $186.2 million, or 46.9%, from $397.3 million at December 31,
1999.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     Loan quality is continually monitored by management and reviewed by the
loan/investment committee of the Boards of Directors of the banks on a monthly
basis. The amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses which is charged
to earnings through the provision for loan losses is determined based on a
variety of factors, including assessment of the credit risk of the portfolio,
delinquent loans, evaluation of current economic conditions in the market area,
actual charge-offs during the year and historical loss experience.

     The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses sufficient to absorb
credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses
represents the Company's estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each
balance sheet date and is supported by all available and relevant information.
The allowance for the loan losses contains provisions for probable losses that
have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships as well as
probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and credit undertakings that are
not specifically identified. The Company believes that the allowance for loan
losses is adequate to provide for estimated probable credit losses inherent in
the loan portfolio.

     The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.0% as of
June 30, 2000, 1.1% as of December 31, 1999 and 1.2% as of June 30, 1999. The
decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans as of
June 30, 2000 is primarily attributable to the charge-off of a commercial credit
during the second quarter 2000. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999 were $396,000 and $5,000, respectively. The increase in net
charge-offs during 2000 is due primarily to a single commercial credit. In
management's judgment, an adequate allowance for loan losses has been
established. Management judges the adequacy of the allowance by formally
reviewing and analyzing potential problem credits, which entails assessing
current and historical loss experience, loan portfolio trends, prevailing
economic and business conditions, specific loan review and other relevant
factors.

     Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

                                                            2000         1999

NONACCRUAL AND NONPERFORMING LOANS

     Nonaccrual loans were relatively stable at $635,000 as of June 30, 2000,
compared to $600,000 as of December 31, 1999, up from $94,000 at June 30, 1999.

     Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and accruing loans which are
90 days or more delinquent. Nonperforming loans were $975,000 as of June 30,
2000, compared to $823,000 at December 31, 1999 and $804,000 at June 30, 1999.
Nonperforming loans were .17%, .21% and .24% of total loans as of June 30, 2000,
December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, respectively. Nonperforming loans were
 .13%, .16% and .18% of total assets as of June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and
June 30, 1999, respectively.

(1)   Represents corporate and equity securities.


     All securities are classified as available-for-sale and may be sold as part
of the Company's asset/liability management strategy in response to changes in
interest rates, liquidity needs or significant prepayment risk. Securities
available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with related unrealized net gains
or losses, net of deferred

                                       20



income taxes, recorded as an adjustment to equity capital. As of June 30, 2000,
net unrealized losses of $2.3 million resulted in a decrease in reported
stockholders' equity. This was an increase of $1.1 million from net unrealized
losses of $1.2 million recorded as part of equity at June 30, 1999, and a
decrease of $500,000 from net unrealized losses of $2.8 million recorded as part
of stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1999.

     Securities available for sale increased to $97.0 million as of June 30,
2000, up 36.3% from $71.1 million as of December 31, 1999 and up 9.0% from $89.0
million as of June 30, 1999. The general increase in investment securities is
the result of the acquisition of the Johnson Bank Illinois portfolio. Following
the acquisition of Johnson Bank Illinois, the Company sold approximately $9.7
million of the former Johnson Bank Illinois investment securities portfolio as
part of the Company's realignment of its available-for-sale investment
securities portfolio. The sale resulted in the recognition of $92,000 of
investment securities gains during the first half of 2000. The proceeds from the
sale of investment securities were reinvested in U.S. government agency
securities.

     U.S. government agency securities and collateralized mortgage obligations
increased 91.3% and 46.1% to $49.7 million as of June 30, 2000 from $26.0 and
$34.0 million as of December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, respectively. The
increase in U.S. government agency securities resulted primarily from the
Johnson Bank Illinois acquisition. Municipal securities remained relatively
unchanged at June 30, 2000 from the year-end amount of $33.6 million. Municipal
securities decreased 10.5% to $34.2 million as of June 30, 2000 compared to the
prior year period. The decrease is due to securities that were called or matured
during the period. The gross unrealized loss in the Municipal portfolio
increased because of higher interest rates at June 30, 2000 compared to June 30,
1999. Corporate and equity securities increased slightly due to the Johnson Bank
Illinois acquisition. Management does not consider any of these changes to
represent a change in the management philosophy of the investment portfolio.

DEPOSITS AND FUNDS BORROWED

     Total deposits of $598.9 million as of June 30, 2000 represent an increase
of $145.8 million or 32.2% from $453.1 million as of December 31, 1999, and a
59.7% increase from $375.0 million as of June 30, 1999. Non-interest-bearing
deposits were $50.0 million as of June 30, 2000, approximately $13.2 million
more than the $36.8 million reported as of December 31, 1999, and $15.7 million
more than at June 30, 1999. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased 2.1% to
$34.1 million as of June 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999, and 29.7% over
June 30, 1999. Savings and money market deposit accounts increased by
approximately $53.7 million to $257.8 million at June 30, 2000 as compared to
December 31, 1999, and $81.3 million more than the amount reported as of June
30, 1999. Other time deposits increased by approximately $39.1 million to $196.3
million as compared with the December 31, 1999 balance of $157.2 million, and
$58.3 million over the June 30, 1999 balance of $138.0 million. Brokered
deposits increased to $60.8 million at June 30, 2000 from $21.7 million at
December 31, 1999. There were no brokered deposits as of June 30, 1999.

     The Company's membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System gives it the
ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) for
short- or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. The Company has
periodically used services of the FHLB for short-term funding needs and other
correspondent services.

     FHLB borrowings totaled $15.0 million and $28.0 million as of December 31,
1999 and June 30, 1999, respectively, and represented fixed advances maturing in
less than three months. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had $44.0 million of
FHLB borrowings outstanding as follows:



            DEBT TYPE               AMOUNT          CONTRACTUAL RATE           MATURITY       CALLABLE

     As of June 30, 2000, repurchase agreements of approximately $1.5 million
were outstanding in addition to $2.4 million of fed funds purchased. As of June
30, 1999, no repurchase agreements were outstanding and fed funds purchased of
$3.0 million were included in Funds Borrowed.

                                       21



     On February 11, 2000, to effect the Johnson Bank Illinois acquisition, the
Company borrowed $7.5 million under a new, two-year, $18.0 million revolving
credit facility at an initial rate of 7.20%. During the second quarter 2000, the
Company increased borrowings under the revolving credit facility by
approximately $8.0 million in order to capitalize The PrivateBank (St. Louis).
The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving line is based on, at the
borrower's option, either the lender's prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate. The
Company also entered into a subordinated note issued to Johnson International in
the principal amount of $5.0 million as part of the $20.0 million purchase
price. The interest rate on the subordinated note is set each quarter based on
the 90-day LIBOR rate. The initial rate of interest on the subordinated note was
6.60%. The interest rate on the revolving line reset to 7.49% on April 1, 2000
and the interest rate on the subordinated note reset to 7.22% on May 11, 2000.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Stockholders' equity rose to $49.5 million, an increase of $2.4 million
from the 1999 year-end level, due to year-to-date 2000 net income and to an
increase in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The change in the fair value
of the available-for-sale investment portfolio increased stockholders' equity by
$0.5 million net of tax as of June 30, 2000 as compared to December 31, 1999.

     The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other
factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain areas. Failure
to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could
have a direct material effect on the financial statements.

     The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications,
including well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these
terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If the Bank is
adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered
deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset
growth and expansion and plans for capital restoration are required.

     The following table reflects various consolidated measures of capital at
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999:



                                                 JUNE 30, 2000    DECEMBER 31, 1999     JUNE 30, 1999
                                                 -------------    -----------------     -------------
                                                                               
Leverage ratio.................................      6.23%            10.77%                7.63%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio................      7.17%            12.84%                9.63%
Total risk-based capital ratio.................      9.05%            13.96%               10.77%
 Total equity to total assets..................      6.85%             9.08%                6.83%


     To be considered "well capitalized," an entity must maintain a leverage
ratio of at least 5.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, and
a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%. To be "adequately
capitalized," an entity must maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4.0%, a Tier
1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.0%, and a total risk-based capital
ratio of at least 8.0%.

     At June 30, 2000, the Company continued to exceed the minimum levels of all
regulatory capital requirements, and was considered "adequately-capitalized"
under regulatory standards. At June 30, 2000, the Company's total risk based
capital ratio was 9.05%. With the exception of the total risk-based capital
ratio, the Company exceeded the well capitalized levels of all regulatory
capital requirements. The Company has committed to the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago to raising all capital ratios above the "well-capitalized" thresholds
under all regulatory standards by March 31, 2001. The Bank was considered
"well-capitalized" under all regulatory standards, including total risk based
capital ratio.

LIQUIDITY

     Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations
and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to
fund its operations and to provide for clients' credit needs. The liquidity of
the Company principally depends on cash flows from operating activities,
investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and
borrowings and its ability to borrow funds in the money or capital markets.

     Net cash inflows provided by operations were $5.8 million in the first six
months of 2000 compared to a net inflow of $2.1 million a year earlier. Net cash
outflows from investing activities were $130.9 million in the first six months
of 2000 compared to a net cash outflow of $27.9 million a year earlier. Cash
inflows from financing activities in the first six months of 2000 were $104.3
million compared to a net inflow of $21.2 million in the first six months of
1999.

     In the event of short-term liquidity needs, the Bank may purchase federal
funds from correspondent banks. The Company's membership in the Federal Home
Loan Bank System gives it the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB for short-
or long-term purposes under a variety of programs.

                ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
                                ABOUT MARKET RISK

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT POLICY

     As a continuing part of its financial strategy, the Company attempts to
manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on its net interest
income. This effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate
risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. Asset/liability
management policy is established by the Board of Directors and is monitored by
management. The Company's asset/liability policy sets standards within which it
is expected to operate. These standards include guidelines for exposure to
interest rate fluctuations, liquidity, loan limits as a percentage of funding
sources, exposure to correspondent banks and brokers, and reliance on non-core
deposits. The policy also states the reporting requirements to its Board of
Directors. The investment policy compliments the asset/liability policy by
establishing criteria by which the Company may purchase securities. These
criteria include approved types of securities, brokerage sources, terms of
investment, quality standards, and diversification.

     The Company measures the impact of interest rate changes on its income
statement through the use of gap analysis. The gap represents the net position
of assets and liabilities subject to repricing in specified time periods. During
any given time period, if the amount of rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the
amount of rate sensitive assets, a company would generally be considered
negatively gapped and would benefit from falling rates over that period of time.
Conversely, a positively gapped company would generally benefit from rising
rates.

     The following table shows the impact of an immediate 200 basis point change
in interest rates, assessed through the use of a simulation model, that attempts
to measure the effect of rising and falling interest rates over the next
two-year horizon in a rapidly changing rate environment.



                                                             JUNE 30, 2000                     JUNE 30, 1999
                                                     ---------------------------     ------------------------------

                                                       POINTS           POINTS           POINTS             POINTS
                                                     ----------       ----------     --------------      -----------
                                                                                            
Percentage change in net interest income due
 to an immediate 200 basis point change in
 interest rates over a two-year time horizon.....      -2.28%            6.36%            -8.1%              10.4%


     This table shows that if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift in
the yield curve of +200 basis points as of June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, the
Company would suffer a decline in net interest income of 2.28% and 8.1%,
respectively, over a two-year horizon based on its net earning asset portfolios
as of such dates. Conversely, a like shift of -200 basis points would increase
net interest income by 6.36% over a two-year horizon based on June 30, 2000
balances, down from 10.4% measured on the basis of the June 30, 1999 portfolio.

     Changes in the effect on net interest income from a 200 basis point
movement as of June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999 are due partially to
the addition of assets and liabilities from the Johnson Bank Illinois
acquisition. As these assets and liabilities are more fixed rate in nature the
impact of changed rates over a two-year horizon shows a reduced effect at June
30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999. In addition, the Company increased its
term borrowings and brokered deposits during the second quarter 2000. These
additional funding sources mature or reprice within three months to three years.
As a result, changed rates show a reduced dollar impact over a two-year horizon
as of June 30, 2000 compared to June 30, 1999. In addition, management's likely
reaction to changes in interest rates is incorporated in assumptions made in
these calculations. Differences in these assumptions between the reporting
periods have also had the effect of reducing the impact of a changing interest
rate environment.

     The preceding sensitivity analysis is based on numerous assumptions
including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the shape of
the yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, changes in deposit levels,
pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and
liability cash flows and others. While assumptions are developed based upon
current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any
assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how client
preferences or competitor influences might change.

               SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES
                          LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

     This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company
intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of
these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on
certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of
the Company, can generally be identified by use of the words "believe,"
"expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions.
The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or
strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse
effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are
not limited to, fluctuations in market rates of interest and loan and deposit
pricing; a deterioration of general economic conditions in the Company's market
areas; legislative or regulatory changes; adverse developments in the Company's
loan or investment portfolios; lower than expected business levels or higher
than anticipated costs relating to the Company's newly established St. Louis,
Missouri office; significant increases in competition; and the possible dilutive
effect of potential acquisitions or expansions. These risks and uncertainties
should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements.
