                         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 (Chicago)") 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 three months ended March
31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
year ending December 31, 2002. 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
March 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December
31, 2001 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 STANDARDS

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

         SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations completed after June
30, 2001. All future business combinations must be recorded using the purchase
method of accounting. As the Company contemplates further acquisitions as part
of its growth strategy, this Statement will likely have an impact on the
Company's future financial statements.

         SFAS No. 142 supercedes APB Opinion No. 17 "Intangible Assets" and
addresses the accounting of intangible assets and goodwill. Adoption of this
Statement was required beginning January 1, 2002 in relation to all of the
Company's goodwill and intangible assets. Early application of this standard is
not permitted. The Statement discontinues the regular amortization of goodwill
and a transitional impairment test of goodwill is required as of January 1,
2002. An annual impairment test of goodwill is required every year thereafter.
Impairment losses from goodwill recognized in the initial application of this
Statement are to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle.
Impairment losses in subsequent years will be recorded as operating expenses.
Goodwill at March 31, 2002 totaled $10.8 million. The assessment required by
SFAS No. 142 is expected to be completed by June 30, 2002. Any future
acquisitions completed by the Company will also be subject to this Statement.

         The following table shows the effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 (in
thousands, except per share data):

         In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No.
121 and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30. The
Statement addresses the accounting for a segment of a business accounted for as
a discontinued operation and the accounting for the disposition of long-lived
assets. The provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company intends
to adopt the Statement in the second quarter of 2002 and does not anticipate
that the adoption will have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations.

HOLDING COMPANY ACTIVITIES

         Holding Company Activities consist of parent company only matters. The
Holding Company's most significant assets are its net investments in its two
banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis).
During the first quarter 2001, in connection with the issuance of $20.0 million
of 9.50% trust preferred securities, the Holding Company issued $20.0 million of
9.50% subordinated debentures which are accounted for as long-term debt and also
qualify as Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital (see note 9). The Tier 1 qualifying amount
is limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve regulations. The
excess amount qualifies as Tier 2 capital. Holding Company Activities are
reflected primarily by interest expense on borrowings and operating

                                       11



expenses. Recurring holding company operating expenses consist of compensation
(amortization of restricted stock awards, other salary expense) and
miscellaneous professional fees.

(1)      The rate on this FHLB floating rate advance is set at one-month LIBOR
         minus five basis points.
(2)      This FHLB advance is subject to a fair value hedge utilizing an
         interest rate swap with a fair value of $1.4 million. The contractual
         par amount on the advance is $25.0 million.
(3)      Demand repurchase agreements are a form of retail repurchase agreements
         offered to certain clients of The PrivateBank (Chicago). Funds are
         swept each business day from the client's demand deposit account. These
         amounts are not deposits and are not insured, but are secured by a pool
         of securities pledged specifically for this purpose.

         On February 11, 2002, the Company renewed the term on an $18.0 million
revolving credit facility with a commercial bank originally entered into on
February 11, 2000. On April 11, 2002, the loan agreement was amended and the
revolving line was increased to $25.0 million. The interest rate on borrowings
under this revolving line resets quarterly, and is based on, at our option,
either the lender's prime rate or three-month LIBOR plus 120 basis points with a
floor of 3.50% effective April 11, 2002. The Company has elected to pay interest
based on the three-month LIBOR rate plus 120 basis points. The initial rate of
interest on the revolver was 7.20%, and most recently reset to 3.22% on March
25, 2002. The collateral for this borrowing consists of the common stock of The
PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), which is held in custody
by the lender. As of March 31, 2002, the outstanding balance was $9.0 million.

         On February 11, 2000, the Company entered into a subordinated note
issued to Johnson International, Inc. and subsequently sold to a third party, in
the principal amount of $5.0 million. The interest on the subordinated note is
reset each quarter based on the three-month LIBOR rate. The note is payable in
full on or before February 11, 2007, and provides for certain rate escalation
beginning after February 11, 2002. On February 11, 2002, the interest rate
increased from LIBOR +50 basis points to LIBOR +200 basis points. This pricing
is in effect until February 11, 2004, at which point the pricing increases to
LIBOR +350 until maturity on February 11, 2007. The average rate of interest on
the subordinated note was 6.51% during the first quarter of 2001 compared to
3.27% during the first quarter of 2002 and most recently reset to 3.89% on
February 11, 2002. The Company has the right to repay the subordinated note at
any time after giving at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days advance
notice.

             NOTE 9 -- LONG TERM DEBT -- TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

         Effective February 8, 2001, PrivateBancorp Capital Trust I, a newly
created Delaware business trust and wholly-owned finance subsidiary of the
Company, issued 2,000,000 shares (including the underwriters' over-allotment) of
9.50% trust preferred securities, which represent preferred undivided interests
in the assets of the trust. The sole assets of the trust are 9.50% junior
subordinated debentures issued by the Company with a maturity date of December
31, 2030.

         Subject to certain limitations, the Company has the right to defer
payment of interest on the debentures at any time, or from time to time, for a
period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The trust preferred securities are
subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the
debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. At the option of the
Company, the debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to maturity on
or after December 31, 2005, if certain conditions are met, and only after the
Company has obtained Federal Reserve approval, if then required under applicable
guidelines or regulations.

         The Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions and payments
upon liquidation or redemption of the trust preferred securities, in each case
to the extent of funds held by the trust. The Company and the trust believe
that, taken together, the obligations of the Company under the guarantee, the
debentures and other related agreements provide, in the aggregate, a full,
irrevocable and unconditional guarantee, on a subordinated basis, of all of the
obligations of the trust under the trust preferred securities.

         The trust preferred securities are recorded as long-term debt of the
Company. The aggregate principal amount of the trust preferred securities
outstanding is $20 million. As of March 31, 2002, the entire amount of the
preferred securities is eligible for treatment as Tier I capital as allowed by
the Federal Reserve. The balance of the underwriting commissions and offering
expenses at March 31, 2002 was $1.1 million and is classified as part of other
assets on the balance sheet. This amount is being amortized on a straight-line
basis until maturity. The amortization is recognized as interest expense on the
income statement.

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

OVERVIEW

         PrivateBancorp, Inc. ("the Company") was organized as a Delaware
corporation in 1989 to serve as the holding company for a Chicago-based 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
("The PrivateBank (Chicago)") and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), the Company
provides its clients with traditional personal and commercial banking services,
lending programs, and wealth management services. Using the European tradition
of "private banking" as the model, the Company strives to develop a unique
relationship with clients, utilizing a team of managing directors to serve the
clients' individual and corporate banking needs, and tailoring products and
services to meet such needs. Currently, the Company has seven Chicago-area
offices: Downtown Chicago, Wilmette, Oak Brook, St. Charles, Lake Forest,
Winnetka, and Geneva, Illinois. During 2000, the Company expanded to the St.
Louis market where it opened a new federal savings bank, The PrivateBank (St.
Louis). Currently, the Company operates one location in the St. Louis market.
Managing directors are strategically located at all of these locations.

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

         The profitability of our operations depends on our net interest income,
provision for loan losses, non-interest income, and non-interest expense. 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 as well as
to the execution of our asset/liability management strategy. The provision for
loan losses reflects the cost of credit risk in the loan portfolio and is
affected by changes 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 consists primarily of net security gains (losses)
and wealth management fee income, and to a lesser extent, fees for ancillary
banking services. Non-interest income from fees and deposit service charges are
below peer group levels. This is largely the result of the profile of our
typical client. Our clients tend to have larger deposit account balances than
customers of traditional banks. Because average balances tend to be high, we do
not earn the high service charge income typical of many retail banks.

         Non-interest expense includes salaries and employee benefits as well as
occupancy, data processing, marketing, professional fees, insurance and other
expenses. Non-interest expenses are influenced by the growth of operations. Our
growth directly affects the majority of our expense categories. Profitability
and expense ratios were negatively impacted during the first quarter of 2001 due
to the start-up nature of operations in St. Louis. The PrivateBank (St. Louis)
began to operate profitably during the fourth quarter of 2001 and we expect this
office to have a positive impact on our profitability in 2002. During the first
quarter 2002, The PrivateBank (St. Louis) earned $122,000 versus a loss of
$210,000 in the prior year period. During the remainder of 2002 we expect
profitability and expense ratios to continue to improve relative to 2001.

         The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited
consolidated financial statements included herein. Reference should also be made
to our accounting policies set out in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements. Certain critical policies involve estimates and assumptions by
management. By their nature, changes in these assumptions and estimates could
significantly affect our financial position or results of operations. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgments regarding the
determination of the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, as described in
both Management's Discussion and Analysis and in the financial statement notes,
is of particular significance to us. In addition, effective January 1, 2002, we
adopted SFAS No. 142, which requires an annual impairment test of goodwill.

                                       16



        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001

NET INCOME

         Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002, was $2.1
million, up 61% compared to first quarter 2001 net income of $1.3 million.
Earnings increased 50% to $0.42 per diluted share in the first quarter 2002
compared to $0.28 per diluted share in the first quarter 2001. The increase in
net income during the first quarter 2002 reflects the positive impact on net
interest income that resulted from growth in earning assets, continued high
credit quality and improved operating efficiencies as compared to the prior year
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 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 on a tax equivalent basis was $8.3 million during
the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $6.4 million for the first
quarter 2001, an increase of 29%. Average earning assets during the first
quarter 2002 were $1.1 billion, compared to $799.8 million in the prior year
quarter, an increase of 42%. Compared to fourth quarter 2001, average earning
assets increased by $111.0 million, or 11% during the first quarter of 2002.
Average earning loans during the first quarter 2002 increased to $781.1 million
compared to $741.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2001. Net interest
margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.14% in the first quarter 2002, down
from 3.32% in the prior year first quarter and 3.28% in the fourth quarter of
2001. The decline in net interest margin compared to the fourth quarter 2001 is
primarily attributable to decreases in market interest rates during the fourth
quarter of 2001 that affected loan yields for the full first quarter 2002
period. Our earning assets re-price at a faster rate than our interest bearing
liabilities. During the second quarter of 2002, we expect to experience
stabilization in net interest margin, as market rates of interest have remained
stable throughout 2002.

                                       17



         The following tables present a summary of our 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 $687,109 and $264,435 in the first quarters of 2002
         and 2001, respectively.
(2)      Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balances and do not have a
         material effect on the average yield. Interest due on non-accruing
         loans was not material for the periods presented.
(3)      The trust preferred securities pay a 9.50% fixed rate of interest. The
         yield for 2001 is based on the interest period from February 8, 2001 to
         March 31, 2001.

         The following table shows the dollar amount of changes in interest
income (tax-equivalent) 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 period's
rate. Rate variances are computed using the changes in rate multiplied by the
previous period's volume.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we deem adequate to
absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan
losses reflects management's latest assessment of the losses that are probable
and reasonably estimable in the loan portfolio. Our allowance for probable loan
losses is reassessed monthly to determine the appropriate level of the reserve.
Our analysis is influenced by the following factors: the volume and quality of
loans and commitments in the portfolio, loss experience, and economic
conditions. A discussion of the allowance for loan losses and the factors
management considers in assessing the adequacy of the allowance begins on page
21.

         Our provision for loan losses was $511,000 for the first quarter of
2002, compared to $339,000 for the comparable period in 2001. Increases in the
provision for loan losses compared to the prior year periods are related to the
growth in the loan portfolio.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

         Non-interest income for the quarter increased to $1.0 million,
reflecting a decrease of $90,000 or 7.9% compared to the first quarter of 2001.
The Company recognized $230,000 of net securities losses during the first
quarter 2002, compared to net securities gains of $186,000 during the first
quarter of 2001. The security losses for the quarter include a write-down of
$200,000 on an investment that qualifies for CRA purposes. Banking, trust
services and other income increased $326,000 or 34% over the prior year quarter.
Trust assets under administration increased to $758.2 million at March 31, 2002
compared to $693.2 million at March 31, 2001, an increase of 9%, attributable
primarily to increases in new business generated during the quarter. Trust fee
revenue increased by $33,000 to $724,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002,
an increase of 5% over the prior year quarter. The increase reflects continued
growth in new wealth management accounts.

         During the first quarter of 2002, we recognized income of $142,500
related to the increased cash surrender value of a bank owned life insurance
(BOLI) policy that was entered into in the fourth quarter of 2001. This policy
covers certain higher-level employees who are deemed to be significant
contributors to the company. All employees included in this policy are aware and
have consented to the coverage. The cash surrender value of BOLI at March 31,
2002 was $10.3 million and is included in other assets on the balance sheet.

         Non-interest expense increased to $6.1 million in the first quarter of
2002 from $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2001, an increase of 15%. The
elimination of goodwill amortization in 2002 resulted in a favorable impact of
$206,000 to non-interest expense in the current period. The increase in
non-interest expense between quarters reflects the continued growth of the
organization during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2002. Our efficiency
ratio was 61.1% for the first quarter 2002 as compared to 67.8% for the first
quarter 2001. On a tax-equivalent basis, this ratio indicates that in the first
quarter of 2002, we spent 61.1 cents to generate each dollar of

                                       19



revenue, compared to 67.8 cents in the first quarter of 2001. During the
remainder of 2002, we expect to continue to report improvements in our operating
efficiency ratio as compared to 2001 as revenue generated at the new offices
outpaces the increases in related operating expenses.

         Salaries and benefits increased to $2.8 million, or 17% during the
first quarter 2002 as compared to the year ago quarter, reflecting the increased
level of full-time equivalent employees to 162 people at March 31, 2002 as
compared to 140 people at March 31, 2001. The increase is due primarily to
overall growth in the organization.

         Occupancy expense increased to $1.1 million during the first quarter
2002, reflecting an increase of 28% over the prior year quarter. Occupancy
expense during the first quarter 2002 reflects the addition of our newest office
in Geneva as well as additional floor space that is being leased in our downtown
Chicago location. During 2002, we have continued to invest in our information
technology infrastructure. These expenditures have resulted in new hardware,
innovative software and upgrades to our disaster recovery systems.

         Professional fees increased to $891,000 during the first quarter of
2002, reflecting an increase of 68% over the prior year quarter. The increase in
professional fees is primarily attributable to information systems consultation
to assist us in the implementation of system upgrades as well as in the
augmentation of our current disaster recovery network.

         Postage, telephone and delivery decreased to $178,000 during the first
quarter 2002, a decrease of 1% over the prior year quarter. Office supplies and
printing costs decreased to $67,000 during the first quarter 2002, an 18%
decrease as compared to the prior year quarter. Office supplies and printing
costs were higher in the prior year quarter due to start-up costs associated
with our newer offices.

Effective tax rate...........          20.4%          30.2%

         The lower effective tax rate for the first quarter 2002 as compared to
the prior year quarter is primarily attributable to an increase in the amount of
federally tax exempt municipal investment securities held in our securities
portfolio. Tax-exempt municipal securities increased from $54.7 million at March
31, 2001 to $122.0 million at March 31, 2002, an increase of 123%. 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.

TOTAL ASSETS

         Total assets increased to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2002, an increase
of $54,440, or 5% over total assets of $1.2 billion at December 31, 2001, and an
increase of $357,515, or 41% over $873.7 million of total assets at March 31,
2001. The balance sheet growth during the three months ended March 31, 2002 was
accomplished mainly through loan growth throughout the Company and growth in the
investment securities portfolio. The growth in assets was funded through excess
liquidity and increases in brokered deposits.

LOANS

         Total loans increased to $782.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million,
or 0.2%, from $780.8 million at December 31, 2001 and an increase of $156.7
million, or 25%, from $625.7 million at March 31, 2001.

         Total loans at March 31, 2002 grew slightly since year-end 2001. The
PrivateBank (St. Louis) had loans outstanding of $82.3 million as of March 31,
2002, growth of $49.1 million since March 31, 2001. The remaining loan growth of
$107.6 million experienced by the Company since March 31, 2001 was generated by
The PrivateBank (Chicago). All of The PrivateBank (Chicago) offices posted
strong gains in loan volume on a quarter over quarter basis.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

         Loan quality is continually monitored by management and reviewed by the
loan/investment committees of the boards of directors of the banks on a monthly
basis. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management
considers 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 unallocated portion of the reserve involves the exercise of judgment by
management and reflects various considerations, including management's view that
the reserve should have a margin that recognizes the imprecision inherent in the
process of estimating credit losses.

         We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we deem adequate to
absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan
losses represents our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each
balance sheet date based on review of available and relevant information,
including 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
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.12% at March 31,
2002, 1.06% at December 31, 2001 and 1.03% at March 31, 2001. Management
believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for estimated
probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

         Net charge-offs totaled $27,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002
versus net recoveries of $8,000 in the year earlier period. The provision for
loan losses was $511,000 in the first quarter of 2002, versus $339,000 in the

                                       21



first quarter of 2001. 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 three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands):

         Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and accruing loans, which
are 90 days or more delinquent. Loans in this category include those with
characteristics such as past maturity more than 90 days, those that have recent
adverse operating cash flow or balance sheet trends, or loans that have general
risk characteristics that management believes might jeopardize the future timely
collection of principal and interest payments. The balance in this category at
any reporting period can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash
collections, renegotiations and renewals.

         Nonaccrual loans were $1.5 million at March 31, 2002 as compared to
$664,000 at December 31, 2001 and $117,000 at March 31, 2001. Nonaccrual loans
increased by $794,000 million since December 31, 2001. The increase relates
primarily to two commercial real estate credit relationships at The PrivateBank

         All securities are classified as available-for-sale and may be sold as
part of our 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 income taxes, recorded as an adjustment to equity
capital. At March 31, 2002, net unrealized gains of $31,000 resulted in an
increase in reported stockholders' equity. This was a decrease of $292,000 from
net unrealized gains of $323,000 recorded as part of equity at December 31,
2001. The credit quality of the investment portfolio remains strong. The vast
majority of investments are rated "AAA" by bond rating agencies. It is our
policy not to take any undue credit risk with the investment portfolio

         Securities available for sale increased to $388.7 million at March 31,
2002, up 17% from $332.9 million at December 31, 2001. The growth in the
investment security portfolio since December 31, 2001 resulted from the
continued implementation of our asset/liability management strategy. Tax exempt
municipal securities increased by $15.8 million. These securities provide net
interest margin protection in a falling interest-rate environment.
Collateralized mortgage obligations decreased $4.2 million in the first three
months of 2002. Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased by $33.1
million as a result of purchases made to take advantage of the liquid nature of
the investment.

         Total deposits of $981.9 million at March 31, 2002 represent an
increase of $131.4 million or 15% as compared to total deposits of $850.5
million as of December 31, 2001. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by 15%
to $62.3 million at March 31, 2002 as compared to $73.1 million at December 31,
2001. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased by 4% to $54.2 million as
compared to $52.1 million at December 31, 2001. Money market accounts increased
by $13.4 million to $364.2 million at March 31, 2002 as compared to $350.8
million at December 31, 2001. Other time deposits decreased by approximately $12
million to $211.3 million as compared to $223.4 million at year-end 2001.
Brokered deposits increased by 101% to $278.9 million at March 31, 2002 as
compared to $138.9 million at December 31, 2001.

         We continued to utilize brokered deposits as a source of funding for
growth in the loan and investment portfolios. Certain broker deposits may
include call option provisions, which can provide us with the opportunity to
repay the certificates of deposit on a specified date prior to the contractual
maturity date. During the first quarter of 2002, we called $48.0 million in
brokered deposits and recognized $258,654 of unamortized brokered commissions in
interest expense. We have replaced the called brokered deposits with new
brokered deposits at lower interest rates. As of March 31, 2002, there were no
outstanding brokered deposits containing call provisions.

         Membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System gives us the ability to
borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) and from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) for short- or long-term purposes
under a variety of programs. We have periodically used the services of the FHLB
for short-term funding needs and other correspondent services. During 2001, we
increased our utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to fund loan
growth. Management anticipates that our reliance on Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings as a funding source will likely remain at current levels in 2002 to
the extent that rates on Federal Home Loan Bank advances continue to be more
attractive than deposit pricing. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings totaled $66.2
million at March 31, 2002 compared to $115.4 million at December 31, 2001.

_______________
(1)      The rate on this FHLB floating rate advance is set at one-month LIBOR
         minus five basis points.
(2)      This FHLB advance is subject to a fair value hedge utilizing an
         interest rate swap with a fair value of $1.4 million. The contractual
         par amount on the advance is $25.0 million.
(3)      Demand repurchase agreements are a form of retail repurchase agreements
         offered to certain clients of The PrivateBank (Chicago). Funds are
         swept each business day from the client's demand deposit account. These
         amounts are not deposits and are not insured, but are secured by a pool
         of securities pledged specifically for this purpose.
</FN>


         The decrease in funds borrowed as of March 31, 2002 as compared to
December 31, 2001, reflects a decrease in our federal funds purchased position
and decreases in FHLB fixed advances, offset by an increase in our borrowings
under a revolving line of credit.

         CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At March 31, 2002, $20.0 million of the trust preferred securities was
treated as Tier 1 capital. Stockholders' equity rose to $64.9 million at March
31, 2002, an increase of $2.6 million from the 2001 year-end level, due to an
increase in year-to-date 2002 net income.

         The Company and its banking subsidiaries 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 a banking
subsidiary is not "well capitalized," regulatory

                                       25



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 our consolidated measures of capital at
March 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and March 31, 2001:

Leverage ratio........................          6.25%             6.64%              7.60%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio.......          8.37%             8.18%              9.14%
Total risk-based capital ratio........          9.93%             9.71%             11.00%
Total equity to total assets..........          5.27%             5.29%              6.52%


         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," a bank 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 March 31, 2002, the Company and each of the banking subsidiaries
continued to exceed the minimum levels of all regulatory capital requirements,
and each banking subsidiary was considered "well capitalized" under all
regulatory standards.

LIQUIDITY

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

         Net cash outflows used in operations were $707,000 in the first three
months of 2002 compared to a net cash inflow of $2.9 million a year earlier. The
net cash outflow during the first quarter 2002 was impacted by the growth and
timing of receipts of interest and cash settlement payments. Net cash outflows
from investing activities were $49.0 million in the first three months of 2002
compared to a net cash outflow of $64.2 million a year earlier. Cash inflows
from financing activities in the first three months of 2002 were $56.3 million
compared to a net inflow of $39.0 million in the first three months of 2001.

         In the event of short-term liquidity needs, our banking subsidiaries
may purchase federal funds from correspondent banks. Membership in the Federal
Home Loan Bank System gives the banking subsidiaries the ability to borrow funds
from the FHLB for short- or long-term purposes under a variety of programs.

         During the first quarter 2002, we relied more heavily on brokered
deposits to fund growth in loans and investment securities as well as liquidity
at our banks. For the remainder of 2002, we expect to continue to rely on
brokered deposits for liquidity purposes if brokered rates continue to compare
favorably to other sources of liquidity. Brokered deposits represented 28% of
total deposits at March 31, 2002 compared to 17% of total deposits at December
31, 2001.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT POLICY

         As a continuing part of our financial strategy, we attempt to manage
the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on our 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 our Board of Directors and is monitored by management.
Our asset/liability policy sets standards within which we are 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 the Board of Directors. The
investment policy complements the asset/liability management policy by
establishing criteria by which we may purchase securities. These criteria
include approved types of securities, brokerage sources, terms of investment,
quality standards, and diversification.

         We measure the impact of interest rate changes on our 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 tables illustrate the estimated interest rate sensitivity and periodic
and cumulative gap positions calculated as of March 31, 2002 and December 31,
2001:

         The following table shows the impact of an immediate 200 basis point
change in interest rates as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The effects
are determined through the use of a simulation model based on our earning asset
and interest-bearing liability portfolios, assuming the size of these portfolios
remains constant from the balance sheet date throughout the one-year measurement
period. The simulation assumes that assets and liabilities accrue interest on
their current pricing basis. Assets and liabilities then reprice based on their
terms and remain at that interest rate through the end of the measurement
period. The model attempts to illustrate the potential change in net interest
income if the foregoing occurred.




                                                             MARCH 31, 2002              DECEMBER 31, 2001

Percentage change in net interest income due to
   an immediate 200 basis point change in
   interest rates over a one-year time horizon....         6.6%           -7.4%           3.0%         -4.7%


         This table shows that if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift
in the yield curve of -200 basis points on March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
we would suffer a decline in net interest income of -7.4% and -4.7%,
respectively, over each one-year period. Conversely, a shift of +200 basis
points would increase net interest income 6.6% over a one-year horizon based on
March 31, 2002 balances, as compared to 3.0% measured on the basis of the
December 31, 2001 portfolio.

         Changes in the effect on net interest income from a 200 basis point
movement at March 31, 2002, compared to December 31, 2001 are due to the timing
and nature of the repricing of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive
liabilities within the one year time frame. Although we are negatively gapped
within one year, the asset sensitive position of the balance sheet in the first
90 days of the simulation, coupled with the timing of repricing within the 91 to
365 day bucket, would lead to an increase in net interest income from an
immediate +200 basis point move. The

                                       28



difference in the effect on net interest income at March 31, 2002 as compared to
December 31, 2001 is due to the differences in the timing, balances, and current
rates versus simulated rates of repricing assets and liabilities. The difference
between the two measurement periods is also a result of our increased asset
sensitivity in the 90-day bucket because of an increase in FHLB stock and a
decrease in fed funds purchased since year-end.

         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, we cannot make any assurances as
to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how client preferences
or competitor influences might change.
