ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On August 20, 1998, AMCORE Financial, Inc. ("Registrant") engaged the
accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP (KPMG), as its independent
accountants. KPMG replaces McGladrey & Pullen, LLP ("McGladrey") as of the
date reported above. The change in the Registrant's independent accountants
was the result of a formal proposal process involving three accounting firms.
The change followed a decision by the Registrant to outsource its internal
auditing function to McGladrey who in turn resigned as Registrant's
independent accountants. The decision to change accountants was approved by
the Registrant's Audit and Executive Committees of the Board of Directors.
This filing amends the August 20, 1998 filing in order to clarify that
McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, resigned as independent accountants of AMCORE
Financial, Inc. effective August 20, 1998.
