                           --------------------------

State below in reasonable  detail the reasons why the Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F,  11-K,  10-Q and Form 10-QSB,  N-SAR or the  transition  report or portion
thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Response:  The compilation of the financial and other information  necessary for
the  Registrant's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the  quarterly  period ended
December  31,  2000 has been  delayed  due to delays in the  preparation  of and
independent accountant review of financial information necessary to complete the
Form 10-KSB.

                           Part IV--Other Information

                           --------------------------

         (1) Name and  telephone  number of person to  contact in regard to this
notification.

JEFFREY S. PRZYBYL                 (773)                          376-3800
       (Name)                  (Area Code)                   (Telephone Number)

         (2) Have all other periodic  reports required under section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment  Company
Act of 1940 during the  preceding 12 months or for such shorter  period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?

     If the answer is no, identify report(s).

                                 [x] Yes [ ] No

         (3) Is it  anticipated  that  any  significant  change  in  results  of
operations  from the  corresponding  period  for the last  fiscal  year  will be
reflected by the  earnings  statements  to be included in the subject  report or
portion thereof?
                                 [X] Yes [ ] No

         If  so:  attach  an  explanation  of  the  anticipated   change,   both
narratively and  quantitatively,  and, if  appropriate,  state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

         RESPONSE:  Basic and diluted  earnings per share for the twelve  months
ended  December 31, 2000 was $0.95 compared to $1.01 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1999.  Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 was
$1.2 million  compared to $1.6 million for the twelve months ended  December 31,
1999, a decrease of 24.2%.  Net interest  income  decreased due to a decrease in
the ratio of interest earning assets to interest bearing liabilities as a result
of the completion of the Company's  modified dutch auction tender offer in which
interest  earning assets and  additional  debt were used to fund the purchase of
the shares in the offer.
