As previously disclosed, following its acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies
in February  2002,  Wintrust has  undertaken an effort to migrate funds from the
money market mutual fund balances  managed by WHAMC into deposit accounts of the
Wintrust Banks.  Consistent with reasonable  interest rate risk parameters,  the
funds will generally be invested in excess loan  production of the Banks as well
as other investments  suitable for banks. As of June 30, 2002, $97.5 million had
migrated  into an  insured  bank  deposit  product  at the  various  Banks.  The
migration  of  additional  funds to the Banks is  subject  to the  desire of the
customers to make the transition of their funds into FDIC insured bank accounts,
capital capacity of the Company and the availability of suitable  investments in
which to deploy the funds.  As of July 31, 2002, a total of  approximately  $150
million was resident in this account and Wintrust  estimates that  approximately
$200 to $300 million may migrate to the Banks by the end of 2002.

The Company has  guaranteed  the payment of  distributions  on and payments upon
liquidation or redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities, in each case to the
extent of funds held by the Trusts.  The Company  and the Trusts  believe  that,
taken  together,  the  obligations  of the  Company  under the  guarantees,  the
subordinated 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 Trusts under the Trust Preferred  Securities.  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.  The Debentures of the Trusts are redeemable in whole
or in part prior to maturity at anytime after the date shown above,  and earlier
at the  discretion  of the Company if certain  conditions  are met,  and, in any
event,  only after the Company has obtained  Federal Reserve  approval,  if then
required under applicable guidelines or regulations.

The Trust Preferred Securities, subject to certain limitations,  qualify as Tier
1 capital of the Company for regulatory purposes.  Interest expense on the Trust
Preferred Securities is deductible for tax purposes.

(9) SEGMENT INFORMATION
    -------------------

The segment  financial  information  provided in the  following  tables has been
derived from the internal  profitability  reporting system used by management to
monitor  and  manage the  financial  performance  of the  Company.  The  Company
evaluates  segment  performance  based on  after-tax  profit  or loss and  other
appropriate  profitability  measures  common to each segment.  Certain  indirect
expenses  have been  allocated  based on actual  volume  measurements  and other
criteria,  as  appropriate.  Inter-segment  revenue and  transfers are generally
accounted for at current  market  prices.  The other  category,  as shown in the
following table,  reflects parent company  information.  The net interest income
and segment profit of the banking segment  includes income and related  interest
costs from  portfolio  loans that were  purchased  from the premium  finance and
indirect auto segments. For purposes of internal segment profitability analysis,
management reviews the results of its premium finance and indirect auto segments
as if all loans  originated and sold to the banking segment were retained within
that segment's operations, thereby causing the inter-segment elimination amounts
shown in the following  table. The following table presents a summary of certain
operating information for each reportable segment for three months ended for the
periods shown:

(10) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     --------------------------------

The Company enters into certain derivative financial  instruments as part of its
strategy to manage its exposure to market risk.  Market risk is the  possibility
that,  due to  changes  in  interest  rates or other  economic  conditions,  the
Company's  net  interest  income  will be  adversely  affected.  The  derivative
financial instruments that are currently being utilized by the Company to manage
this risk  include  interest  rate cap and  interest  rate swap  contracts.  The
amounts  potentially  subject  to market  and  credit  risks are the  streams of
interest  payments  under the contracts and not the notional  principal  amounts
used to express the volume of the transactions.  On January 1, 2001, the Company
adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133,  "Accounting for
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as amended by SFAS
137 and SFAS 138 (collectively referred to as SFAS 133).

As a result of the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company  recognizes  all derivative
financial  instruments,  such as  interest  rate  cap  and  interest  rate  swap
agreements, in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of
the  purpose  or  intent  for  holding  the  instrument.   Derivative  financial
instruments are included in other assets or other  liabilities,  as appropriate,
on the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Condition.  Changes  in the  fair  value of
derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or
in  shareholders'  equity as a component of  comprehensive  income  depending on
whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting,  and
if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. Generally,
changes in fair values of  derivatives  accounted  for as fair value  hedges are
recorded in income  along with the portions of the changes in the fair values of
the hedged  items that relate to the hedged  risk(s).  Changes in fair values of
derivative  financial  instruments  accounted  for as cash flow  hedges,  to the
extent they are effective hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income net
of deferred taxes.  Changes in fair values of derivative  financial  instruments
not qualifying as hedges are reported in income.

Derivative  financial  instruments  owned by the Company on January 1, 2001 were
not designated as hedges in accordance with SFAS 133. As a result, the effect of
recording  the  derivative  financial  instruments  at fair value upon  adoption
resulted in a charge of $254,000 (net of tax) in the  Consolidated  Statement of
Income to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

During the first six months of 2002, $130 million  notional  principal amount of
interest  rate cap  contracts  matured.  At June 30, 2002,  the Company had $125
million of  notional  principal  amounts of interest  rate caps with  maturities
ranging  from July 2002 to February  2003.  These  contracts  were  purchased to
mitigate the effect of rising rates on certain  floating  rate deposit  products
and  provide  for the receipt of  payments  when the 91-day  Treasury  bill rate
exceeds  the  predetermined  strike  rates that  range from 3.75% to 6.50%.  The
payment amounts,  if any, are determined and received on a monthly basis and are
recorded as an adjustment to net interest income.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had $25 million  notional  principal  amount of an
interest rate swap contract maturing in February 2004. This contract effectively
converts a portion of the Company's  floating-rate notes payable to a fixed-rate
basis,  thus  reducing the impact of interest  rate  changes on future  interest
expense.

The  following  table  presents a summary of  derivative  instruments  that were
outstanding  as of the dates  shown and  whether  the changes in fair values are
accounted  for in the income  statement  (IS) or as other  comprehensive  income
(OCI):

Periodically, the Company will sell options to a bank or dealer for the right to
purchase certain securities held within the Banks' investment portfolios.  These
covered call option  transactions  are designed  primarily to increase the total
return  associated  with  holding  these  securities  as earning  assets.  These
transactions  do not qualify as hedges  pursuant  to SFAS 133 and,  accordingly,
changes in fair values of these  contracts  are  reported in other  non-interest
income.  The option  premium  income  generated  by these  transactions  is also
recognized as other non-interest  income. There were no call options outstanding
as of June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 or June 30, 2001, respectively.

(11)  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
      ---------------------

In  February,   2002,   Wintrust  completed  its  acquisition  of  Wayne  Hummer
Investments,  LLC  ("WHI" -  including  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Focused
Investments LLC) and Wayne Hummer Management Company (subsequently renamed Wayne
Hummer  Asset  Management  Company  "WHAMC").  The  results of the Wayne  Hummer
Companies  have been included in Wintrust's  consolidated  financial  statements
only since the effective date (February 1, 2002) of the acquisition.

The acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies will augment fee-based revenue and
diversify  Wintrust's  revenue  stream by adding  brokerage  services as well as
offering  traditional  banking  products to the  customers  of the Wayne  Hummer
Companies, thereby providing a more comprehensive menu of financial products and
services to the customers of Wintrust and the Wayne Hummer Companies.

The aggregate  purchase price was $28 million  consisting of $8 million in cash,
762,742  shares of  Wintrust's  common stock (then valued at $15 million) and $5
million of deferred cash payments to be made over a three-year period subsequent
to the closing  date.  Wintrust is  obligated  to pay  additional  consideration
contingent  upon the  attainment of certain  performance  measures over the next
five  years.  The  additional  consideration,  if  paid,  will  be  recorded  as
additional  goodwill  at its  fair  value  when  paid,  or when  the  additional
consideration  is deemed,  beyond a reasonable  doubt, to have been earned.  The
value of Wintrust's  common stock issued was determined  based on the unweighted
average  of the high and low sales  prices  of  Wintrust's  common  stock on the
Nasdaq  National Market for the 10 trading days ending on the second trading day
preceding the effective  date of the  acquisition.  The Company  recorded  $15.1
million of goodwill and $1.4 million of finite-lived  intangible  assets related
to the customer list of WHAMC.

The following pro forma information reflects the Company's results of operations
for the periods shown as if the Wayne Hummer  Companies would have been included
from the  beginning  of the periods  shown.  The  Wintrust  as reported  results
include the results of the Wayne Hummer  Companies  since the effective  date of
the acquisition:

(12)  GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
      ------------------------------------

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"),
and Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other
Intangible  Assets" ("SFAS 142").  SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations  initiated after June 30, 2001.
SFAS 141 also  specifies  the  criteria  for  intangible  assets  acquired  in a
purchase  method  business  combination to be recognized and reported apart from
goodwill.  SFAS 142  requires  companies  to no  longer  amortize  goodwill  and
intangible  assets with indefinite  useful lives,  but instead test these assets
for impairment at least annually in accordance  with the provisions of SFAS 142.
Under SFAS 142,  intangible  assets with  definite  useful lives  continue to be
amortized  over  their  respective  estimated  useful  lives to their  estimated
residual  values,  and reviewed for  impairment  in  accordance  with the FASB's
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144").

Wintrust adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. As of the
date of  adoption,  Wintrust  had  unamortized  goodwill  in the amount of $10.0
million,  and  unamortized  identifiable  intangible  assets  in the  amount  of
$109,000, all of which were subject to the transition provisions of SFAS 141 and
SFAS 142.  As part of its  adoption of SFAS 142,  the  Company  has  performed a
transitional  impairment  test on its goodwill  assets,  which indicated that no
impairment charge was required.  In addition,  no material  reclassifications or
adjustments to the useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets were made as a
result of adopting  the new  guidance.  The full impact of adopting  SFAS 142 is
expected to result in an increase in net income of  approximately  $413,000,  or
approximately $0.02 per diluted share, in 2002 as a result of Wintrust no longer
having to amortize goodwill against earnings.

                                     - 13 -


Assuming  retroactive  adoption of SFAS 142, net income for the six months ended
June 30, 2001  increased as a result of ceasing  amortization  of goodwill.  The
following  table sets forth the  reconcilement  of net income and  earnings  per
share excluding goodwill  amortization for the periods shown. The 2001 period is
presented on a pro forma basis excluding goodwill amortization:

At June 30, 2002 and 2001, Wintrust had $1.4 million and $143,000, respectively,
in unamortized finite-lived intangible assets. As a result of the acquisition of
WHAMC,  $1.38  million was assigned to the  customer  list of WHAMC and is being
amortized  over a 7-year  period on an  accelerated  basis.  Total  amortization

(13)  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
      --------------------------------

On January 1, 2002,  Wintrust  adopted SFAS 144, which  superseded  SFAS 121 and
provides a single  accounting  model for  long-lived  assets to be disposed  of.
Although   retaining  many  of  the  fundamental   recognition  and  measurement
provisions  of SFAS 121, the new rules  significantly  change the criteria  that
would  have to be met to  classify  an  asset  as  held-for-sale.  SFAS 144 also
supersedes the provisions of Accounting  Principles  Board (APB) Opinion 30 with
regard to  reporting  the effects of a disposal  of a segment of a business  and
requires  expected future  operating losses from  discontinued  operations to be
displayed in  discontinued  operations  in the period(s) in which the losses are
incurred  (rather than as of the measurement  date as presently  required by APB
Opinion  30). In  addition,  more  dispositions  will  qualify for  discontinued
operations  treatment in the income statement.  The adoption of SFAS 144 did not
have  a  material  impact  on  Wintrust's  financial  condition  or  results  of
operations.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The  following  discussion  and analysis of  financial  condition as of June 30,
2002,  compared  with December 31, 2001,  and June 30, 2001,  and the results of
operations  for the three and  six-month  periods  ended June 30,  2002 and 2001
should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  unaudited  consolidated
financial  statements  and  notes  contained  in this  report.  This  discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and, as
such,  future  results  could differ  significantly  from  management's  current
expectations. See the last section of this discussion for further information on
forward-looking statements.

On January 24,  2002,  Wintrust's  Board of Directors  declared a 3-for-2  stock
split of its common stock, effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend, paid on
March 14, 2002 to  shareholders  of record as of March 4, 2002.  All  historical
share data and per share amounts have been restated to reflect this split.



OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY

Wintrust's  operating  subsidiaries were organized within approximately the last
ten years.  We have grown from $2.32 billion in total assets at June 30, 2001 to
$3.22  billion  in total  assets  at June 30,  2002,  an  increase  of 39%.  The
historical  financial  performance  of the  Company  has been  affected by costs
associated with growing market share in deposits and loans, new banks and branch
facilities,  and building an experienced  management  team. The Company's recent
financial  performance  generally  reflects  the improved  profitability  of our
operating subsidiaries, as they mature, offset by the costs of opening new banks
and branch facilities. The Company's experience has been that it generally takes
13 to 24  months  for new  banks  to  first  achieve  operational  profitability
depending on the number and timing of branch facilities added.

The Banks began operations during the period indicated in the table below:



                                                                                                        Operations opened in:
                                                                                                 -----------------------------------
                                                                                                      Month                Year
                                                                                                 -----------------    --------------
                                                                                                                      
Lake Forest Bank................................................................................     December                1991
Hinsdale Bank...................................................................................      October                1993
North Shore Bank................................................................................    September                1994
Libertyville Bank...............................................................................      October                1995
Barrington Bank.................................................................................     December                1996
Crystal Lake Bank...............................................................................     December                1997
Northbrook Bank.................................................................................     November                2000


Subsequent  to these  initial  dates of  operations,  each of the Banks,  except
Northbrook Bank, has established additional full-service banking facilities.  As
of June 30,  2002,  the Banks had 31 banking  facilities.  Since June 30,  2001,
Barrington  Bank opened a branch  facility in Hoffman Estates in September 2001,
Northbrook Bank opened its new permanent  facility in December 2001 and Hinsdale
Bank opened a branch  facility in  Riverside in January  2002.  In May 2002 Lake
Forest Bank opened a new branch in Highland  Park. In June 2002 and July 2002 we
opened a new permanent facility for our Wauconda branch of Libertyville Bank and
our McHenry branch of Crystal Lake Bank, respectively. Construction is currently
underway on our South  Libertyville  branch of Libertyville  Bank and our Skokie
branch of North Shore  Community  Bank.  Additionally  the Company has purchased
property for a permanent  facility in Highland Park and has  purchased  property
for new facilities in Cary and Deerfield.

While committed to a continuing growth strategy,  management's  ongoing focus is
also to balance  further  asset growth with  earnings  growth by seeking to more
fully  leverage  the existing  capacity  within each of the Banks,  FIFC,  WHTC,
Tricom  and the  Wayne  Hummer  Companies.  One  aspect of this  strategy  is to
continue to pursue specialized earning asset niches in order to maintain the mix
of  earning  assets  in  higher-yielding  loans  as well as  diversify  the loan
portfolio.  Another  aspect  of  this  strategy  is a  continued  focus  on less
aggressive  deposit pricing at the Banks with significant  market share and more
established customer bases.

                                     - 16 -


On February 20, 2002, the Company  completed its acquisition of the Wayne Hummer
Companies,  comprising  Wayne  Hummer  Investments  LLC  ("WHI"),  Wayne  Hummer
Management Company  (subsequently  renamed Wayne Hummer Asset Management Company
"WHAMC") and Focused Investments LLC ("FI"), each based in the Chicago area.

WHI, established in 1931, has been providing a full-range of investment products
and  services  tailored  to meet  the  specific  needs of  individual  investors
throughout the country, primarily in the Midwest. WHI also operates an office in
Appleton,  Wisconsin that opened in 1936. WHI has  approximately  163 employees,
including  over  40  active  brokers,  and is a  member  of the New  York  Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities
Dealers.  At June 30, 2002, the number of WHI client households was estimated to
be in excess of 20,000,  with over $3.8  billion in customer  assets in custody.
WHI's Appleton branch serves the greater Appleton area.

WHAMC,  established in 1981, is the investment  advisory affiliate of WHI and is
advisor to the Wayne Hummer family of mutual  funds.  The Wayne Hummer family of
funds  includes the Wayne Hummer  Growth  Fund,  the Wayne Hummer  CorePortfolio
Fund, the Wayne Hummer Income Fund, and the Wayne Hummer Money Market Fund. With
assets under  management in excess of $895 million,  the  investment  management
group provides advisory services to individuals and institutions,  municipal and
tax-exempt  organizations,  including  approximately  $488  million in the Wayne
Hummer Mutual Funds. Additionally,  WHAMC also provides portfolio management and
continuous financial  supervision for a wide-range of pension and profit sharing
plans. These defined portfolios are managed for public and private clients, bank
portfolios  and  trusts,  endowments  and  foundations,  and  both  taxable  and
tax-deferred  portfolios  for  individual  investors.  WHAMC  manages  over $400
million in these portfolios.

FI,  a NASD  member  broker/dealer,  is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of WHI  and
provides a full range of  investment  services  to clients  through a network of
relationships with community-based financial institutions primarily in Illinois.

FIFC  is  the  Company's  most  significant  specialized  earning  asset  niche,
originating  approximately $1.3 billion in loan volume for the full year of 2001
and $837 million in the first six months of 2002. FIFC makes loans to businesses
to  finance  the  insurance  premiums  they  pay on their  commercial  insurance
policies.  The loans are originated by FIFC working through  independent  medium
and large insurance agents and brokers located throughout the United States. The
insurance premiums financed are primarily for commercial customers' purchases of
liability, property and casualty and other commercial insurance. The majority of
these  loans are  purchased  by the Banks in order to more fully  utilize  their
lending  capacity.  The Company began selling the excess of FIFC's  originations
over the capacity to retain such loans within the Banks' loan portfolios  during
the second quarter of 1999 to an unrelated third party with servicing  retained.
In addition to recognizing gains on the sale of these receivables,  the proceeds
provide the Company with  additional  liquidity.  Consistent  with the Company's
strategy  to be  asset-driven,  it is  probable  that  similar  sales  of  these
receivables will occur in the future; however, future sales of these receivables
depends on the level of new volume  growth in relation to the capacity to retain
such loans within the Banks' loan portfolios.

In October 1999, the Company acquired Tricom as part of its continuing  strategy
to pursue specialized earning asset niches. Tricom is a Milwaukee-based  company
that has been in business for more than ten years and  specializes  in providing
high  yielding,   short-term  accounts  receivable  financing  and  value-added,
out-sourced  administrative  services,  such as  data  processing  of  payrolls,
billing and cash management services,  to the temporary staffing industry,  with
clients  throughout the United States.  These  receivables  may involve  greater
credit  risks  than  generally  associated  with  the  loan  portfolios  of more
traditional  community banks depending on the  marketability  of the collateral.
The principal  source of repayments on the receivables are payments to borrowers
from their customers who are located  throughout the United States.  The Company
mitigates this risk by employing lockboxes and other cash management  techniques
to protect their interests.  By virtue of the Company's funding resources,  this
acquisition has provided Tricom with additional  capital necessary to expand its
financing services in a national market.  Tricom's revenue principally  consists
of  interest  income from  financing  activities  and  fee-based  revenues  from
administrative  services.  In addition to expanding the Company's  earning asset
niches, this acquisition has added to the level of fee-based income.

In addition to the  earning  asset  niches  provided by the  Company's  non-bank
subsidiaries,  several earning asset niches operate within the Banks,  including
our indirect auto lending which we conduct  through a division of Hinsdale Bank,
Lake  Forest  Bank's  MMF  Leasing  Services   equipment  leasing  division  and
Barrington Bank's Community Advantage

                                     - 17 -


program  that  provides  lending,   deposit  and  cash  management  services  to
condominium,  homeowner and community associations. In addition, Hinsdale Bank's
mortgage  warehouse  lending  program  provides  loan and  deposit  services  to
mortgage brokerage companies located  predominantly in the Chicago  metropolitan
area, and Crystal Lake Bank has recently developed a specialty in small aircraft
lending.  The Company plans to continue  pursuing the development or acquisition
of other  specialty  lending  businesses  that generate assets suitable for bank
investment  and/or secondary market sales. The Company is not pursuing growth in
the indirect auto segment,  however, and anticipates that the indirect auto loan
portfolio  will  comprise  a smaller  portion of the net loan  portfolio  in the
future.

In  September  1998,  the Company  formed a trust  subsidiary  originally  named
Wintrust Asset Management Company, which was renamed in May 2002 to Wayne Hummer
Trust Company  ("WHTC") to expand the trust and investment  management  services
that were previously  provided through the trust department of Lake Forest Bank.
With a  separately  chartered  trust  subsidiary,  the Company is better able to
offer trust and investment  management services to all communities served by the
Banks. In addition to offering these services to existing bank customers at each
of the Banks,  the  Company  believes  WHTC can  successfully  compete for trust
business by targeting  small to mid-size  businesses  and  affluent  individuals
whose needs command the  personalized  attention  offered by WHTC's  experienced
trust  professionals.  Services  offered by WHTC typically  include  traditional
trust products and services, as well as investment management services.

(1)  The core net interest margin excludes the interest expense  associated with
     Wintrust's Long-term Debt - Trust Preferred Securities.
(2)  The net overhead ratio is calculated by netting total non-interest  expense
     and total  non-interest  income,  annualizing this amount,  and dividing by
     that period's total average assets. A lower ratio indicates a higher degree
     of efficiency.
(3)  The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total  non-interest  expense
     by tax-equivalent  net revenues (less securities gains or losses).  A lower
     ratio indicates more efficient revenue generation.

The Company  analyzes its  performance on a net income basis in accordance  with
accounting  principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as other
ratios such as the net overhead  ratio,  efficiency  ratio and core net interest
margin. These performance measures are presented as supplemental  information to
enhance the readers'  understanding  of, and highlight  trends in, the Company's
financial  results.  These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net
income and  earnings  per share as  determined  in  accordance  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The calculations used by the
Company  to  derive  core  net  interest  margin,  net  overhead  ratio  and the
efficiency ratio may vary from, and not be comparable to, other companies.

Net income for the second  quarter ended June 30, 2002 totaled $6.3 million,  an
increase of $1.9 million,  or 45%, over the $4.4 million  recorded in the second
quarter of 2001. On a per share basis, net income for the second quarter of 2002
totaled $0.37 per diluted common share, a $0.05 per share,  or 16%,  increase as
compared to the 2001 second quarter total of $0.32 per diluted common share. The
lower  growth  rate in the  earnings  per share as  compared  to net  income was
primarily due to the issuance of 1,488,750  additional shares of common stock in
June 2001,  762,742 shares issued in the February 2002  acquisition of the Wayne
Hummer Companies and the issuance of 1,185,000 additional shares of common stock
in June 2002.  The return on average equity for the second quarter of 2002 stood
at 14.75%.

For the first six months of 2002, net income totaled $12.7 million, or $0.77 per
diluted common share, an increase of $4.4 million, or 53%, when compared to $8.3
million,  or $0.61 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2001. Return
on average  equity for the first six months of 2002 was 15.85% versus 15.81% for
the same period of 2001.

The results  for the first six months of 2002  include  pre-tax  income of $1.25
million,  or  $754,000  after-tax,  for a  partial  settlement  related  to  the
non-recurring  charge recorded in 2000.  Excluding this settlement  income,  net
income in the first six months of 2002 was $11.9  million,  or $0.72 per diluted
share.  Included  in the first six  months of 2001 is a  cumulative  effect of a
change in accounting for interest rate caps resulting in an after-tax  charge of
$254,000, or $0.02 per diluted share.

On February 20, 2002,  Wintrust  completed its  acquisition  of the Wayne Hummer
Companies.  Accounted for as a purchase,  the Wayne Hummer Companies  results of
operations are included in Wintrust's  year-to-date  2002 results only since the
effective date of the acquisition (February 1, 2002).


NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, which is the difference between interest income and fees on
earning  assets and interest  expense on deposits and  borrowings,  is the major
source of earnings for  Wintrust.  Tax-equivalent  net  interest  income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 totaled $24.6 million,  an increase of $6.4 million,
or 35%, as compared to the $18.2  million  recorded in the same quarter of 2001.
Average loans in the second quarter of 2002 increased $483 million, or 28%, over
the second  quarter of 2001.  This growth  helped  offset the lower spreads as a
result of the eleven rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2001 totaling 475 basis
points.

Net  interest  margin  represents   tax-equivalent  net  interest  income  as  a
percentage  of the average  earning  assets  during the  period.  For the second
quarter of 2002 the net  interest  margin was 3.56%,  a decrease  of three basis
points  when  compared  to the net  interest  margin of 3.59% in the prior  year
second quarter.  This decline  resulted  primarily from the effects of continued
decreases  during 2001 in  short-term  rates causing  compression  in the spread
between  the rates on  interest-bearing  liabilities  and the  yields on earning
assets.  Spread  compression  results  when  deposit  rates  cannot  be  reduced
commensurate with changes in market rates due to current low level of rates paid
on certain deposit  accounts.  The core net interest margin,  which excludes the
interest  expense  related  to  Wintrust's  Long-term  Debt  -  Trust  Preferred
Securities,  was 3.74% for the second  quarter of 2002,  and  decreased 10 basis
points when compared to the prior year second quarter's core margin of 3.84%. In
the absence of additional  rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and a changing yield
curve,  Wintrust's  net  interest  margin  improved by eight  basis  points when
compared to the first quarter of 2002.  This  improvement  was a result of total
funding  costs  declining by 21 basis  points  while the yield on total  earning
assets declined by nine basis points.  Interest-bearing  deposits  accounted for
the  majority  of the  decline in the cost of  funding,  decreasing  by 20 basis
points from the first quarter of 2002.

(1)  Liquidity management assets include available-for-sale securities, interest
     earning deposits with banks and federal funds sold.
(2)  Interest  income  on  tax-advantaged   loans  and  securities   reflects  a
     tax-equivalent adjustment based on a marginal federal corporate tax rate of
     35%. The total  adjustments  for the quarters  ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
     were $191,000 and $214,000 respectively.
(3)  Other earning assets include  brokerage  customer  receivables  and trading
     account securities.
(4)  Loans,  net of  unearned  income  includes  mortgages  held  for  sale  and
     non-accrual loans.
(5)  Interest rate spread is the difference  between the yield earned on earning
     assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
(6)  Net free funds are the difference  between total average earning assets and
     total average  interest-bearing  liabilities.  The contribution is based on
     the rate paid for total interest-bearing liabilities.
(7)  The core net interest  margin  excludes the impact of Wintrust's  Long-term
     Debt - Trust Preferred Securities.

The yield on total  earning  assets for the second  quarter of 2002 was 6.47% as
compared to 8.19% in 2001,  a decrease of 172 basis points  resulting  primarily
from the effect of  decreases in general  market  rates on liquidity  management
assets and loans.  The other earning  assets shown in the second quarter of 2002
reflect  interest-bearing  brokerage  customer  receivables  and trading account
securities managed at the Wayne Hummer Companies. The yield on earning assets is
heavily   dependent  on  the  yield  on  loans  since  average  loans  comprised
approximately 80% of total average earning assets. The second quarter 2002 yield
on loans was 6.97%,  a 175 basis point  decrease when compared to the prior year
second  quarter yield of 8.72%.  The average prime lending rate was 4.75% during
the  second  quarter  of 2002  versus  7.35%  for the  second  quarter  of 2001,
reflecting a decrease of 260 basis points.  Wintrust's  loan  portfolio does not
re-price in a parallel  fashion to  decreases or increases in the prime rate due
to a portion of the portfolio being longer-term fixed rate loans.

The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2002 was
3.20%,  compared to 5.02% in the second  quarter of 2001, a decline of 182 basis
points.  Interest-bearing  deposits accounted for 87% of total  interest-bearing
funding in the second  quarter of 2002,  compared  to 95% in the same  period of
2001. The rate paid on  interest-bearing  deposits averaged 3.02% for the second
quarter of 2002  versus  4.85% for the same  quarter of 2001,  a decrease of 183
basis points.  During 2001,  Wintrust initiated  borrowing from the Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB").  The Company  initially  borrowed from the FHLB in the third
and fourth quarters of 2001 and borrowed an additional $50 million in the second
quarter of 2002.  The  increase  in notes  payable and other  borrowings  in the
second quarter of 2002 was a result of the funding at the Wayne Hummer Companies
for the brokerage  customer  receivables,  additional  funding  required

                                     - 21 -


for the purchase of the Wayne Hummer  Companies and borrowings  utilized to fund
the additional capital  requirements of the Banks. The rate paid on Federal Home
Loan Bank  advances,  notes  payable and other  borrowings  decreased  233 basis
points to 3.35% in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 5.68% in the second
quarter of 2001.

(1)  Liquidity management assets include available-for-sale securities, interest
     earning deposits with banks and federal funds sold.
(2)  Interest  income  on  tax-advantaged   loans  and  securities   reflects  a
     tax-equivalent adjustment based on a marginal federal corporate tax rate of
     35%. The total  adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
     were $399,000 and $419,000 respectively.
(3)  Other earning assets include  brokerage  customer  receivables  and trading
     account securities.
(4)  Loans,  net of  unearned  income  includes  mortgages  held  for  sale  and
     non-accrual loans.
(5)  Interest rate spread is the difference  between the yield earned on earning
     assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
(6)  Net free funds are the difference  between total average earning assets and
     total average  interest-bearing  liabilities.  The contribution is based on
     the rate paid for total interest-bearing liabilities.
(7)  The core net interest  margin  excludes the impact of Wintrust's  Long-term
     Debt - Trust Preferred Securities.

For the first six months of 2002,  tax-equivalent  net interest  income  totaled
$47.0  million  and  increased  $11.3  million,  or 32% over the  $35.7  million
recorded in the same period in 2001.  Growth in the Company's earning asset base
was the primary  contributor to this  increase,  as  year-to-date  average loans
increased 29%.

The yield on total earning  assets for the first six months of 2002 was 6.52% as
compared to 8.49% in 2001,  a decrease of 197 basis points  resulting  primarily
from the effect of  decreases in general  market  rates on liquidity  management
assets and loans.  The rate paid on  interest-bearing  liabilities for the first
six months of 2002 was 3.30%, compared to 5.28% in the second quarter of 2001, a
decline of 198 basis points.  The interest rate spread  (difference  between the
yield on  earning  assets  and the rate  paid on  interest-bearing  liabilities)
remained  stable in the first six months of 2002,  increasing by one basis point
when  compared to the first six months of 2001.  The decline in the net interest
margin was mainly caused by a 12 basis point reduction in the contribution  from
net free  funds as the  substitute  value of these  free funds fell by 198 basis
points in 2002.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002 non-interest income totaled $26.5 million
and increased $12.3 million, or 86%, over the same period last year. Significant
increases  were  realized  in both the second  quarter of 2002 and the first six
months of 2002 in trust,  asset management and brokerage fees as a result of the
Wayne Hummer  Companies  acquisition  which occurred during the first quarter of
2002.

Trust, asset management and brokerage fees are comprised of the asset management
revenue  of Wayne  Hummer  Trust  Company  (name  changed  from  Wintrust  Asset
Management  Company  in May  2002)  and the  asset  management  fees,  brokerage
commissions,  trading commissions and insurance product commissions at the Wayne
Hummer Companies. The increase in this category, up $6.9 million over the second
quarter  of 2001 and  $11.0  million  over the  first  six  months  of 2001,  is
primarily attributable to the revenues from the Wayne Hummer Companies. Wintrust
is  committed  to growing the trust and  investment  business in order to better
service  its  customers  and  create a more  diversified  revenue  stream.  This
commitment  is  evidenced  by the  acquisition  of the Wayne  Hummer  Companies.
Non-interest  income  comprised  approximately  29% of total net revenues in the
second  quarter of 2001.  Primarily  as a result of the Wayne  Hummer  Companies
acquisition,  this has increased to approximately  36% for the second quarter of
2002.

Fees on  mortgage  loans  sold  include  income  from  originating  and  selling
residential real estate loans into the secondary  market.  For the quarter ended
June 30, 2002, these fees totaled $1.9 million, a slight decrease of $14,000, or
1%, from the prior year second  quarter and down  slightly from the $2.0 million
recorded in the first quarter of 2002.  Although they are a continuous source of
revenue, these fees have historically increased due to higher levels of mortgage
origination volumes,  particularly refinancing activity, caused by the low level
of  mortgage  interest  rates.  It is  possible  that the levels of  refinancing
activity may taper off for the remainder of 2002, barring any further reductions
in mortgage interest rates.

Service charges on deposit  accounts  totaled $753,000 for the second quarter of
2002,  an increase of  $147,000,  or 24%,  when  compared to the same quarter of
2001. This increase was mainly due to a larger deposit base and a greater number
of accounts at the banking subsidiaries. The majority of deposit service charges
relates to customary fees on overdrawn accounts and returned items. The level of
service charges received is substantially below peer group levels, as management
believes in providing high quality service without encumbering that service with
numerous activity charges.

The  administrative  services  revenue  contributed  by Tricom added $931,000 to
total non-interest  income in the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of $190,000
from the  second  quarter of 2001 and an  increase  of  $109,000  from the first
quarter of 2002. This revenue  comprises  income from  administrative  services,
such as data processing of payrolls,  billing and cash management  services,  to
clients in the temporary staffing industry located throughout the United States.
The  revenue  growth at Tricom had  stagnated  in previous  quarters  due to the
general slowdown in the United States economy and the reduction in the placement
of temporary staffing  individuals by Tricom's customers.  This business segment
appears to be rebounding  as exhibited by the higher levels of revenue  recorded
by Tricom when compared to the first quarter of 2002. Tricom also earns interest
and fee income from providing  short-term accounts receivable  financing to this
same client base, which is included in the net interest income category.

Fees from  covered  call  option  transactions  in the  second  quarter  of 2002
decreased  by $167,000  to  $789,000,  compared to $956,000  million in the same
quarter  last year.  On a  year-to-date  basis the Company has  recognized  $2.4
million  in fees in 2002  compared  to $2.3  million  in 2001,  an  increase  of
$54,000. During the first six months of 2002, call option contracts were written
against $864 million of underlying  securities,  compared to $531 million in the
first six months of last year.  The same  security may be included in this total
more than once to the extent that  multiple call option  contracts  were written
against it if the initial call option contracts were not exercised.  The Company
routinely enters into these  transactions with the goal of enhancing its overall
return on its investment  portfolio.  In the first six months of both years, the
Company wrote call options against certain U.S.  Treasury and agency  securities
held in its portfolio  for  liquidity and other  purposes for terms of less than
three months.  There were no outstanding call options at June 30, 2002, December
31, 2001 or June 30, 2001.

As  a  result  of  continued   strong  loan   originations  of  premium  finance
receivables,  Wintrust sold premium  finance  receivables to an unrelated  third
party in the second quarter of 2002 and recognized  gains of $828,000 related to
this activity on sales of $74.1 million of net  receivables,  compared with $1.4
million of recognized gains in the second

                                     - 24 -


quarter of 2001 on sales of $71.7 million.  On a year-to-date basis, the Company
recognized gains of $1.6 million in 2002 on sales of $136.0 million, compared to
$2.4 million in 2001 on sales of $122.9  million.  Recognized  gains  related to
this activity are  significantly  influenced by the spread between the net yield
on the loans sold and the rate,  based on a fixed spread to LIBOR,  passed on to
the purchaser. This spread ranged from 4.85% to 5.51% in the first six months of
2002 compared to a range of 5.96% to 6.54% in the same period last year. The net
yield on the loans sold and the rates  passed on to the  purchaser  typically do
not react in a parallel  fashion,  therefore  causing  the  spreads to vary from
period to period.  The lower amount of gain  recognized in the second quarter of
2002  compared  to the prior  year was  influenced  by lower  spreads as well as
increased estimates of credit losses. During the first six months of 2002 credit
losses  were  estimated  at 0.75%,  compared to 0.25% in the first six months of
2001.  The  increase  was a result of a higher  level of  charge-offs  in recent
quarters in the  overall  premium  finance  receivables  portfolio  (see page 34
"Allowance  for Loan  Losses".)  The  lower  gain  recognized  in 2002 was also
significantly  influenced by a reduction in the number of months these loans are
estimated to be  outstanding.  This  reduction was due to recent trends of early
pay-downs  as the economy  has  weakened,  insurance  rates have  escalated  and
borrowers  cancelled their existing insurance in favor of cheaper  alternatives.
The average terms of the loans in the first six months of 2002 were estimated at
approximately  8 months  compared to 9 months in the same period last year.  The
applicable  discount rate used in determining gains related to this activity was
unchanged from the discount rate used in 2001.

At June 30, 2002,  premium  finance loans sold and serviced for others for which
we retain a recourse  obligation related to credit losses totaled  approximately
$112.4 million.  The recourse obligation is considered in computing the net gain
on the sale of the premium finance receivables.  At June 30, 2002, the remaining
estimated  recourse  obligation  carried in other  liabilities is  approximately
$504,000.

Credit losses incurred on loans sold are applied against the recourse obligation
liability  that  is  established  at  the  date  of  sale.  Credit  losses,  net
recoveries, in the first six months of 2002 for premium finance receivables sold
and serviced for others totaled  $10,000.  Non-performing  loans related to this
sold portfolio at June 30, 2002 were  approximately  $1.7 million,  or 1.53%, of
the sold loans.  Ultimate losses on premium finance loans are substantially less
than non-performing  loans for the reason noted in the  "Non-performing  Premium
Finance  Receivables"  portion of the "Asset Quality"  section of this report on
page 37.

Wintrust has a philosophy of maintaining  its average  loan-to-deposit  ratio in
the  range of  85-90%.  During  the  second  quarter  of  2002,  the  ratio  was
approximately  90%.  Consistent with Wintrust's  strategy to be asset-driven and
the desire to maintain our loan-to-deposit ratio in the aforementioned range, it
is probable that similar sales of premium finance  receivables will occur in the
future.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest  expense for the second  quarter of 2002 totaled  $25.9 million and
increased  $9.6  million,  or 59%,  from the second  quarter 2001 total of $16.3
million.  Operating  expenses of the Wayne Hummer  Companies  and the  continued
growth  of the  loan  and  deposit  portfolios  are the  major  causes  for this
increase.  Since June 30, 2001 total deposits and total loans have increased 27%
and 29%,  respectively,  requiring  higher levels of staffing and other costs to
both attract and service the larger  customer base.  Excluding the impact of the
Wayne Hummer Companies,  total non-interest  expense increased $2.5 million,  or
16%,  when  compared to the second  quarter of 2001,  well below the pace of the
balance sheet growth.

On a year-to-date basis non-interest expense totaled $48.6 million and increased
$16.3  million,  or 51%,  over the first six  months of 2001.  The Wayne  Hummer
Companies contributed $11.9 million of this increase. The $4.4 million increase,
excluding the Wayne Hummer  Companies,  is  predominantly  due to a $2.8 million
increase  in  salaries  and  employee  benefits  costs  and the  higher  general
operating costs associated with operating additional and larger banking offices.
Despite  balance sheet growth in loans and deposits of near 30%,  Wintrust's net
overhead ratio,  excluding the impact of the Wayne Hummer  Companies,  decreased
from 1.68% for the first six months of 2001 to 1.49% for the  comparable  period
in 2002.

Salaries and employee  benefits  totaled $15.4 million for the second quarter of
2002,  an increase  of $6.7  million,  or 76%,  as compared to the prior  year's
second  quarter  total of $8.7  million.  This increase was primarily due to the
employee costs associated with the Wayne Hummer Companies, increases in salaries
and employee  benefit costs as a result of continued growth and expansion of the
Banks and normal annual  increases in salaries and the employee  benefit  costs.
Excluding the impact of the Wayne Hummer Companies,  total salaries and employee
benefits  expense  increased  $1.5

                                     - 26 -


million,  or 18%,  when  compared  to the second  quarter of 2001 and  decreased
slightly by  $59,000,  or less than 1%,  when  compared to the first  quarter of
2002.

Other categories of non-interest  expense,  such as occupancy  costs,  equipment
expense and data  processing,  also increased over the prior year second quarter
primarily due to the acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies.

Amortization  expense related to goodwill and other intangibles totaled $100,000
for the second quarter of 2002,  compared with $169,000 in the second quarter of
2001.  See Note 12 -  Goodwill  and Other  Intangible  Assets  to the  Company's
unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  for  a  detailed  discussion  of
intangible amortization.

INCOME TAXES

The Company  recorded  income tax expense of $3.5  million for the three  months
ended June 30,  2002  versus  $2.5  million  for the same  period of 2001.  On a
year-to-date basis, income tax expense was $7.0 million in 2002 and $4.9 million
in 2001. The effective tax rate was 35.6% in the second quarter of 2002 and 36.4
% in the second quarter of 2001.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

As shown  in Note 9 to the  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements,  the
Company's operations consist of five primary segments: banking, premium finance,
indirect  auto,  Tricom  and  trust/asset  management/brokerage.  The  Company's
profitability is primarily  dependent on the net interest income,  provision for
loan losses, non-interest income and operating expenses of its banking segment.

For the second  quarter of 2002,  the  banking  segment's  net  interest  income
totaled $22.8 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 33%, as compared to $17.1
million  recorded  in the same  quarter of 2001.  This  increase  was the direct
result of earning asset growth,  particularly in the loan portfolio. The banking
segment's  non-interest  income  totaled $3.9 million for the second  quarter of
2002 and decreased  $589,000,  or 13%, when compared to the prior year quarterly
total of $4.5 million.  Contributing to this decrease was a $167,000  decline in
fees from certain covered call option transactions,  which are routinely entered
into to enhance  the overall  return on the  investment  portfolio.  The banking
segment's  after-tax  profit for the quarter  ended June 30, 2002,  totaled $7.0
million,  an  increase  of $2.1  million,  or 44%, as compared to the prior year
quarterly total of $4.9 million.  On a year-to-date  basis,  net interest income
totaled  $43.5  million  for the first six months of 2002,  an increase of $10.0
million,  or  30%,  as  compared  to  the  $33.5  million  recorded  last  year.
Non-interest  income increased  $541,000 to $9.4 million in the first six months
of 2002.  This  increase  was due  primarily  to a $479,000  increase in fees on
mortgage loans sold resulting from higher levels of refinancing activity as well
as  increased  service  charges on deposit  accounts of $338,000 due to a larger
deposit base and a higher  number of accounts at the banking  subsidiaries.  The
banking  segment's  after-tax  profit  for the six months  ended June 30,  2002,
totaled $13.2 million,  an increase of $3.5 million,  or 36%, as compared to the
prior year total of $9.7 million. The banking segment accounted for the majority
of the  Company's  total asset growth since June 30,  2001,  increasing  by $819
million.

Net interest  income from the premium  finance  segment totaled $8.1 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2002,  an increase of $1.6 million,  or 24%, over the
$6.5 million  recorded in the same quarter of 2001. This  improvement was due to
an increase in average  premium  finance  receivables of  approximately  21% and
higher net spread  contributions on these balances.  Non-interest income for the
three  months  ended June 30, 2002 totaled  $827,000  million,  compared to $1.4
million  in the same  quarter of 2001.  Gains  from the sale of premium  finance
receivables  decreased  by  $621,000  compared  to the same  period  last  year.
After-tax  profit for the premium  finance  segment totaled $3.3 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2002, and increased $624,000, or 23%, over the
same period of 2001.  This increase was due to higher levels of premium  finance
receivables  created from targeted  marketing  programs and market  increases in
insurance premiums charged by insurance  carriers.  On a year-to-date basis, net
interest  income  totaled  $16.2  million  for the first six months of 2002,  an
increase of $3.7 million, or 30%, as compared to the $12.5 million recorded last
year.  Non-interest  income increased  $495,000 to $2.8 million in the first six
months of 2002. The proceeds from a partial  settlement during the first quarter
of 2002,  related to the premium  finance  defalcation  which  occurred  and was
recognized  in 2000,  of $1.25  million  was offset by a decrease of $797,000 on
gains from the sale of premium finance  receivables  compared to the same period
last year. The premium  finance  segment's  after-tax  profit for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, totaled $7.4 million,  an increase of $2.6 million, or 55%,
as compared to the prior year total of $4.8  million.

                                     - 27 -


The indirect auto segment  recorded $2.0 million of net interest  income for the
second quarter of 2002, an increase of $424,000, or 26%, as compared to the 2001
quarterly total. Average outstanding loans decreased 3% in the second quarter of
2002,  compared to the same quarter of 2001.  After-tax  segment  profit totaled
$810,000 for the three-month period ended June 30 2002, an increase of $252,000,
or 45%, when compared to the same period of 2001. The increase in this segment's
profitability  was caused  mainly by lower  variable  rate funding  costs in the
second quarter of 2002 contributing to the higher levels of net interest income.
On a year-to-date  basis, net interest income totaled $4.0 million for the first
six months of 2002, an increase of $1.0 million, or 35%, as compared to the $3.0
million recorded last year. The indirect auto segment's after-tax profit for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $1.5 million, an increase of $606,000, or
65%,  as  compared  to the prior year  total of  $932,000.  Consistent  with the
after-tax  profit  contribution  in the  second  quarter  of 2002,  year-to-date
profitability was positively impacted due to lower variable rate funding costs.

The Tricom segment data reflects the net interest  income,  non-interest  income
and segment profit associated with short-term accounts receivable  financing and
value-added  out-sourced  administrative  services,  such as data  processing of
payrolls,  billing and cash  management  services,  that Tricom  provides to its
clients in the temporary  staffing  industry.  The Tricom  segment  reported net
interest  income of $1.1 million for the second  quarter of 2002, an increase of
$120,000,  or 12%,  compared  to  $965,000  reported in the same period of 2001.
Non-interest  income was  $933,000 in the second  quarter of 2002, a decrease of
$167,000,  or 15%,  compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2001. This
represents the first quarter of increased non-interest revenue from this segment
after three consecutive quarters of declines. The segment's after-tax profit was
$486,000 in the second  quarter of 2002,  an increase  of  $163,000,  or 51%, as
compared to the prior year second quarter of $323,000.  On a year-to-date basis,
net interest  income  totaled $2.0 million for the first six months of 2002,  an
increase of  $149,000,  or 8%, as compared to the $1.8  million  recorded in the
first six months of 2001. Non-interest income decreased $388,000 to $1.8 million
in the first six months of 2002. The Tricom  segment's  after-tax profit for the
six months ended June 30, 2002,  totaled $757,000,  an increase of $155,000,  or
26%, as compared to $602,000 in the first six months of 2001.  As  discussed  in
Note 12 -  Goodwill  and  Other  Intangible  Assets to the  Company's  unaudited
consolidated  financial  statements,  Tricom benefited from the adoption of SFAS
142.  Ceasing  amortization  of goodwill  contributed  $86,000 to the  segment's
after-tax  profit in the second  quarter of 2002 and  $172,000 to the  segment's
year-to-date 2002 after-tax profits.

The trust,  asset management and brokerage  segment reported net interest income
of $722,000 for the second quarter of 2002 and $186,000 for the same period last
year.  The net interest  income  reported is due to an increase in the segment's
earning assets, primarily the interest-bearing brokerage customer receivables at
WHI, as well as the net interest  allocated to the segment from account balances
on deposit at the  Banks.  This  segment  recorded  non-interest  income of $7.6
million for the second  quarter of 2002 as  compared  to  $523,000  for the same
quarter of 2001, an increase of $7.1 million.  The increase is  attributable  to
the revenues from the Wayne Hummer  Companies.  Wintrust is committed to growing
the trust and  investment  business in order to better service its customers and
create a more  diversified  revenue  stream.  The trust,  asset  management  and
brokerage  segment's  after-tax loss totaled $87,000 for the three-month  period
ended June 30, 2002,  as compared to an after-tax  loss of $108,000 for the same
period of 2001.  On a  year-to-date  basis,  net  interest  income  totaled $1.3
million for the first six months of 2002,  an increase of $958,000,  or 272%, as
compared to the $352,000 recorded last year. Non-interest income increased $11.3
million  to $12.3  million  in the first six  months of 2002.  The  increase  is

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $3.22  billion at June 30, 2002,  an increase of $897 million,
or 39%,  over $2.32  billion at June 30, 2001,  and $514  million,  or 38% on an
annualized  basis,  over $2.71 billion at December 31, 2001. Growth at the newer
Banks and branches  along with market  share  increases at the more mature Banks
and the addition of the Wayne Hummer  Companies were the primary factors for the
increases since  year-end,  adding $420 million and $94 million in total assets,
respectively.   Total  funding,   which  includes  retail  deposits,   wholesale
borrowings and Long-term Debt-Trust Preferred  Securities,  was $2.93 billion at
June 30,  2002,  and  increased  $783  million,  or 36%,  over the June 30, 2001
reported  amounts,  and  $400  million,  or 32% on an  annualized  basis,  since
December 31, 2001. The increased  funding was primarily  utilized to fund growth
in the loan portfolio of $522 million since June 30, 2001 and $290 million since
year-end.  See  Notes  3-7 of the  Company's  unaudited  consolidated  financial
statements on pages 6-8 for additional period-end detail.

Average  earning assets for the second quarter of 2002,  increased $169 million,
or 26% on an  annualized  basis,  over the first  quarter of 2002.  The ratio of
average earning assets as a percent of total average assets remained  consistent
at  approximately  92% - 93% as of each reporting period date shown in the above
table.

Loan growth  continued to fuel the Company's  earning asset growth in the second
quarter of 2002. Total average loans increased by $117 million over the previous
quarter.  Commercial  and  commercial  real estate loans grew on average by 31%,
home equity by 45% and premium finance  receivables by 23%, all on an annualized
basis, over the first quarter of 2002.

Average  earning assets for the second quarter of 2002,  increased $736 million,
or 36%, over the year-earlier  second quarter.  Average loans accounted for $483
million of the total average earning asset growth. Average other earning assets,
comprising the trading account securities and brokerage customer  receivables as
a result of the  acquisition  of the Wayne  Hummer  Companies,  contributed  $71
million to total average earning asset growth.

In the  normal  course  of  business,  Wayne  Hummer  Investments,  LLC  ("WHI")
activities  involve  the  execution,   settlement,   and  financing  of  various
securities  transactions.  These  activities may expose WHI to risk in the event
the customer is unable to fulfill its  contractual  obligations.  WHI  maintains
cash and margin  accounts for its  customers  generally  located in the Chicago,
Illinois and Appleton, Wisconsin metropolitan areas of the Midwest.

WHI's customer  securities  activities are transacted on either a cash or margin
basis. In margin transactions,  WHI extends credit to its customers,  subject to
various regulatory and internal margin requirements,  collateralized by cash and
securities in customer's  accounts.  In connection  with these  activities,  WHI
executes and clears customer transactions relating to the sale of securities not
yet  purchased,  substantially  all of which are  transacted  on a margin  basis
subject to individual exchange regulations.  Such transactions may expose WHI to
off-balance-sheet  risk,  particularly in volatile trading markets, in the event
margin  requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses that customers may
incur.  In the event the customer fails to satisfy its  obligations,  WHI may be
required to purchase or sell financial  instruments at

                                     - 29 -


prevailing  market prices to fulfill the  customer's  obligations.  WHI seeks to
control  the  risks  associated  with its  customers'  activities  by  requiring
customers to maintain margin  collateral in compliance  with various  regulatory
and internal guidelines. WHI monitors required margin levels daily and, pursuant
to such guidelines, requires the customer to deposit additional collateral or to
reduce positions when necessary.

WHI's customer  financing and securities  settlement  activities  require WHI to
pledge customer securities as collateral in support of various secured financing
sources such as bank loans and securities  loaned. In the event the counterparty
is unable to meet its  contractual  obligation  to  return  customer  securities
pledged  as  collateral,  WHI  may be  exposed  to the  risk  of  acquiring  the
securities  at  prevailing  market  prices  in order  to  satisfy  its  customer
obligations. WHI attempts to control this risk by monitoring the market value of
securities  pledged on a daily basis and by requiring  adjustments of collateral
levels in the event of excess  market  exposure.  In addition,  WHI  establishes
credit limits for such activities and monitors compliance on a daily basis.

The  percentage  mix of  average  deposits  for the  first  quarter  of 2002 was
relatively  consistent  with  the  deposit  mix as of  the  prior  period  dates
presented. Growth in both the number of accounts and balances has been primarily
the result of newer bank and branch growth,  and continued  marketing efforts at
the more established Banks to create additional deposit market share.

As previously disclosed, following its acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies
in February  2002,  Wintrust has  undertaken  efforts to migrate  funds from the
money market  mutual fund  balances  managed by Wayne  Hummer  Asset  Management
Company  into  deposit  accounts  of the  Wintrust  Banks  ("Brokerage  customer
deposits"  in table  above).  Consistent  with  reasonable  interest  rate  risk
parameters,  the funds will  generally be invested in excess loan  production of
the Banks as well as other investments  suitable for banks. As of June 30, 2002,
$97.5 million had migrated  into an insured bank deposit  product at the various
Banks.  The migration of additional  funds to the Banks is subject to the desire
of the  customers to make the  transition  of their funds into FDIC insured bank
accounts,  capital  capacity  of the Company  and the  availability  of suitable
investments  in which to  deploy  the  funds.  As of July 31,  2002,  a total of
approximately  $150 million was resident in this account and Wintrust  estimates
that  approximately  $200 to $300 million may migrate to the Banks by the end of
2002.



OTHER FUNDING SOURCES

Although deposits are the Company's main source of funding its  interest-earning
asset growth, the Company's ability to manage the types and terms of deposits is
somewhat limited by customer  preferences and market  competition.  As a result,
the Company uses several other funding  sources to support its  interest-earning
asset growth. These sources include short-term  borrowings,  notes payable, FHLB
advances, trust preferred securities,  the issuance of equity securities as well
as the retention of earnings.

Average  total  interest-bearing  funding,  from sources other than deposits and
including  trust  preferred  securities,  increased by $60 million in the second
quarter of 2002 to $321  million,  compared to the first quarter of 2002 average
balance  of $261  million.  These  funding  sources  increased  by $223  million
compared to the second quarter of 2001 average total balance of $98 million.

The Wayne Hummer  Companies  borrowings  consist of demand  obligations to third
party banks  primarily  collateralized  with customer  assets at interest  rates
approximating the fed funds rate that are used to finance  securities  purchased
by customers on margin and  securities  owned by WHI and demand  obligations  to
brokers  and  clearing  organizations  at rates  approximating  fed  funds.  The
increase in the average  balance in the second  quarter of 2002  compared to the
first quarter of 2002 is a result of the amounts being included in the Company's
results for the full quarter.

During  2001,  Wintrust  initiated  borrowing  from the  Federal  Home Loan Bank
("FHLB").  The Company initially  borrowed from the FHLB in the third and fourth
quarters of 2001 and borrowed an additional $50 million in the second quarter of
2002 as part of the Company's interest rate risk management.

Other represents the Company's interest-bearing deferred portion of the purchase
price of the Wayne Hummer Companies.


SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Total  shareholders'  equity was $206.0  million at June 30, 2002 and  increased
$73.0 million  since June 30, 2001 and $64.7 million since the end of 2001.  The
increase  from  year-end  was the result of the  Company's  issuance  of 762,742
shares,  or $15.0 million,  of its common stock in the  acquisition of the Wayne
Hummer Companies,  issuance of 1,185,000 shares of common stock through a public
offering completed in June 2002, realizing net proceeds in the second quarter of
approximately  $31.7  million,  net  income of $12.7  million,  $5.4  million of
proceeds  from the issuance of the  Company's  common  stock for stock  options,
warrants,  employee  stock  purchase  plan and  director  compensation  plan,  a
$847,000 decrease in the unrealized loss on securities and derivative  financial
instruments  offset by $875,000 of cash dividends  paid on the Company's  common
stock. The annualized return on average equity for the six months ended June 30,
2002 increased to 15.85% as compared to 15.81% for the first six months of 2001.

On June 14, 2002 Wintrust  announced the closing of an underwritten  offering of
1,185,000  shares of common stock at a price of $28.70 per share.  Wintrust sold
all 1,185,000 shares of common stock. In connection with the offering,  Wintrust
granted  the  underwriters  of the  offering a 30-day  over-allotment  option to
purchase up to an additional  177,750 shares,  which was exercised and closed in
July, 2002. Net proceeds to the Company, including the over-allotment option and
after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses,  were
approximately  $36.5 million.  The net proceeds of this offering will be used to
increase  the capital at our  existing  Banks,  to pursue  growth  opportunities
(internal,  additional  de novo  locations  and possible  acquisitions)  and for
general corporate purposes.

The Company  attempts to maintain an  efficient  capital  structure  in order to
provide  higher returns on equity.  Additional  capital is required from time to
time,  however,  to support  the growth of the  organization.  The  issuance  of
additional common stock,  additional trust preferred  securities or subordinated
debt  are the  primary  forms of  capital  that are  considered  as the  Company
evaluates its capital position.

On January 24, 2002,  Wintrust declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.06 per
common share.  Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company declared
a semi-annual  cash dividend of $0.06 per common share,  payable August 20, 2002
to  shareholders of record on August 6, 2002.  Both 2002  semi-annual  dividends
represent a 29% increase over the comparable dividends per share paid in 2001.

The Company has  repurchased  no shares of the Company's  common stock since the
third quarter of 2000.

Management  believes  that  the  loan  portfolio  is well  diversified  and well
secured,  without undue concentration in any specific risk area. Loan quality is
continually  monitored  by  management  and is reviewed by the Banks'  Boards of
Directors and their Credit Committees on a monthly basis.  Independent  external
review of the loan  portfolio  is  provided  by the  examinations  conducted  by
regulatory  authorities  and an independent  loan review  performed by an entity
engaged by the Board of Directors.  The amount of additions to the allowance for
loan losses, which is charged to earnings through

                                     - 34 -


the provision for loan losses, is determined based on management's assessment of
the  adequacy of the  allowance  for loans  losses.  Management  evaluates  on a
quarterly basis a variety of factors,  including actual  charge-offs  during the
year, historical loss experience,  delinquent and other potential problem loans,
and economic  conditions and trends in the market area in assessing the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses.

The  provision  for loan losses  totaled $2.5 million for the second  quarter of
2002, an increase of $219,000  from a year  earlier.  For the quarter ended June
30, 2002, net charge-offs totaled $1.2 million,  unchanged from the $1.2 million
of net  charge-offs  recorded  in the same  period  of 2001.  On a ratio  basis,
annualized net  charge-offs as a percentage of average loans  decreased to 0.21%
in the second quarter of 2002 from 0.28% in the same period in 2001.

On a year-to-date  basis, the provision for loan losses totaled $4.8 million for
the first six months of 2002,  an increase of $929,000 over the same period last
year. Net  charge-offs  for the first six months of 2002  increased  slightly to
$2.5 million,  a $284,000 or 13% increase over the $2.2 million  recorded in the
same  period  last year.  On a ratio  basis,  annualized  net  charge-offs  as a
percentage of average loans  decreased to 0.24% for the first six months of 2002
from 0.27% in the first six months of 2001.

The  allowance for loan losses is  maintained  at a level  believed  adequate by
management  to  cover  losses  inherent  in the  portfolio  and is  based  on an
assessment of individual  problem loans,  actual and anticipated loss experience
and other  pertinent  factors.  The  allowance  for loan  losses  consists of an
allocated and unallocated component. The Company reviews potential problem loans
on a  case-by-case  basis to  allocate a  specific  dollar  amount of  reserves,
whereas all other loans are reserved for based on assigned  reserve  percentages
evaluated  by loan  groupings.  The loan  groupings  utilized by the Company are
commercial,  commercial  real  estate,  residential  real  estate,  home equity,
premium finance receivables, indirect automobile, Tricom finance receivables and
consumer.  The  reserve  percentages  applied to these loan  groups  attempts to
account  for the  inherent  risk in the  portfolio  based upon  various  factors
including  industry  concentration,   geographical  concentrations,   local  and
national  economic   indicators,   levels  of  delinquencies,   historical  loss
experience,  changes in trends in risk  ratings  assigned  to loans,  changes in
underwriting  standards and other pertinent factors.  The unallocated portion of
the  allowance  for loan  losses  reflects  management's  estimate  of  probable
inherent but  undetected  losses within the portfolio  due to  uncertainties  in
economic  conditions,  delays in obtaining  information,  including  unfavorable
information  about  a  borrower's   financial   condition,   the  difficulty  in
identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates,
and risk  factors that have not yet  manifested  themselves  in loss  allocation
factors.  Management  believes the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan
losses is  necessary  due to the  imprecision  inherent in  estimating  expected
future credit losses.  The amount of future  additions to the allowance for loan
losses  will be  dependent  upon the  economy,  changes in real  estate  values,
interest  rates,  the  regulatory   environment,   the  level  of  past-due  and
non-performing loans, and other factors. (See "Past Due Loans and Non-performing
Assets" below).

The increase in the  allowance for loan losses of $2.3 million from December 31,
2001 to June 30,  2002 is  primarily  related  to growth in the  commercial  and
commercial  real estate  portfolio of $126.5  million,  or 25% on an  annualized
basis, growth in the premium finance receivables portfolio of $111.4 million, or
65% on an annualized  basis,  and the increase in potential  problem loans.  The
allowance  for loan losses as a percentage  of total loans was 0.69% at June 30,
2002 compared to 0.68% at June 30, 2001.  The  commercial  and  commercial  real
estate  portfolios  and  the  premium  finance   portfolio  have   traditionally
experienced the highest levels of charge-offs by the Company,  along with losses
related to the indirect  automobile  portfolio.  The level of the  allowance for
loan losses was not  impacted  significantly  by changes in the amount or credit
risk  associated  with the indirect  automobile loan portfolio as that portfolio
has  declined by $354,000  from the prior year and the  allocated  loss has been
reduced due to  improvement  in the  delinquencies,  underwriting  standards and
collection routines.

consumer  and other loans were $3.0  million,  unchanged  from the $3.0  million
reported at March 31, 2002, but down from the $3.8 million  reported at December
31,  2001.  These  loans  consist  primarily  of a small  number of  commercial,
residential  real estate and home equity loans,  which  management  believes are
well  secured  and in the  process  of  collection.  The  small  number  of such
non-performing  loans allows  management  to monitor the status of these credits
and work with the borrowers to resolve these problems effectively.

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



The improvement in the level of non-performing premium finance receivables since
June  30,  2001 is  indicative  of  actions  taken  by  management.  As noted in
Wintrust's prior quarterly  earnings  releases in 2001,  Wintrust has eliminated
more than 1,300  relationships with certain insurance agents that were referring
new  business  to our  premium  finance  subsidiary  that had  relatively  small
balances and higher than normal delinquency rates. The business  associated with
those accounts has become a less significant percent of the entire portfolio and
is nearly  extinguished.  Management continues to see progress in this portfolio
and  continues  to expect  the level of  non-performing  loans  related  to this
portfolio to remain at relatively low levels.

The ratio of non-performing  premium finance receivables  fluctuates  throughout
the year due to the nature  and  timing of  canceled  account  collections  from
insurance  carriers.  Due  to the  nature  of  collateral  for  premium  finance
receivables it customarily takes 60-150 days to convert the collateral into cash
collections.   Accordingly,   the  level  of   non-performing   premium  finance
receivables is not necessarily indicative of the loss inherent in the portfolio.
In the event of default  Wintrust has the power to cancel the  insurance  policy
and collect the unearned portion of the premium from the insurance  carrier.  In
the event of cancellation,  the cash returned in payment of the unearned premium
by the insurer should  generally be sufficient to cover the receivable  balance,
the  interest  and other  charges  due.  Due to  notification  requirements  and
processing  time  by most  insurance  carriers,  many  receivables  will  become
delinquent  beyond 90 days  while the  insurer is  processing  the return of the
unearned premium.  Management continues to accrue interest until maturity as the
unearned premium is ordinarily sufficient to pay-off the outstanding balance and
contractual interest due.

Non-performing Indirect Automobile Loans

Total  non-performing  indirect automobile loans were $503,000 at June 30, 2002,
decreasing from $857,000 at December 31, 2001 and $646,000 at June 30, 2001. The
ratio of these non-performing loans to total indirect automobile loans decreased
to 0.27% of total  indirect  automobile  loans at June 30,  2002  from  0.47% at
December 31, 2001 and 0.34% at June 30, 2001. As noted in the Allowance for Loan
Losses table,  net charge-offs as a percent of total indirect  automobile  loans
has  decreased  from 0.36% in the second  quarter of 2001 to 0.32% in the second
quarter of 2002.  The level of  non-performing  and net  charge-offs of indirect
automobile loans continues to be below standard industry ratios for this type of
lending.  Due to the impact of the current economic and competitive  environment
surrounding  this type of lending,  management  continues  to  de-emphasize,  in
relation  to other  loan  categories,  growth in the  indirect  automobile  loan
portfolio.  Indirect  automobile  loans  at June 30,  2002  were  $184  million,
unchanged from December 31, 2001 but down $6 million, or 3% from June 30, 2001.

Potential Problem Loans

The Company  utilizes a loan rating  system to assign risk to loans and utilizes
that risk  rating  system  to assist in  developing  an  internal  problem  loan
identification system ("Watch List") as a means of reporting  non-performing and
potential problem loans. At each scheduled meeting of the Boards of Directors of
the Banks and the Wintrust  Board, a Watch List is presented,  showing all loans
that are  non-performing  and  loans  that may  warrant  additional  monitoring.
Accordingly,  in  addition to those  loans  disclosed  under "Past Due Loans and
Non-performing   Assets,"  there  are  certain  loans  in  the  portfolio  which
management has identified,  through its Watch List,  which exhibit a higher than
normal credit risk. However, these loans which the Company defines as "potential
problem  loans",  are still  performing  and,  accordingly,  are not included in
non-performing loans.

Management's  philosophy is to be proactive and  conservative  in assigning risk
ratings to loans and  identifying  loans to be on the Watch List. As evidence of
this conservative posture, over 75% of all loans identified as potential problem
loans were current as to principal and interest at June 30, 2002.

Examples of these  potential  problem loans include  certain loans that are in a
past-due  status,  loans with borrowers that have recent adverse  operating cash
flow or balance sheet trends,  or loans with general risk  characteristics  that
the loan  officer  feels  might  jeopardize  the  future  timely  collection  of
principal and interest payments. Management's review of the total loan portfolio
to identify  loans where there is concern that the borrower might not be able to
continue to satisfy present loan repayment terms includes factors such as review
of individual loans, recent loss experience and current economic conditions. The
principal amount of potential problem loans as of June 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001 was approximately $48.8 million and $23.8 million,  respectively. In excess
of $38 million of the  potential  problem loans as of June 30, 2002 were current
as to principal  and interest  payments and,  accordingly,  we believe the loans
identified  as potential  problem  loans to quite  conservative  in nature.  The
increase in potential  problem loans relates  primarily to a few larger  credits
that management  believes have no current loss exposure but for which additional
proactive monitoring is prudent given the current economic and business climate.


LIQUIDITY

Wintrust manages the liquidity position of its banking operations to ensure that
sufficient  funds are available to meet  customers'  needs for loans and deposit
withdrawals.  The  liquidity to meet the demand is provided by maturing  assets,
sales of premium  finance  receivables,  liquid  assets that can be converted to
cash,  and the ability to attract  funds from  external  sources.  Liquid assets
refer to federal funds sold and to marketable,  unpledged securities,  which can
be quickly sold without material loss of principal.

Please refer to the Interest-Earning Assets, Deposits, Other Funding Sources and
Shareholders'  Equity  discussions  on pages  29-33 for  additional  information
regarding the Company's liquidity position.



INFLATION

A banking organization's assets and liabilities are primarily monetary.  Changes
in the  rate of  inflation  do not  have as great  an  impact  on the  financial
condition of a bank as do changes in interest rates. Moreover, interest rates do
not necessarily  change at the same  percentage as does inflation.  Accordingly,
changes in inflation are not expected to have a material  impact on the Company.
An analysis of the  Company's  asset and liability  structure  provides the best
indication of how the organization is positioned to respond to changing interest
rates.  See  "Quantitative  and  Qualitative   Disclosure  About  Market  Risks"
beginning on page 40.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains forward-looking  statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. 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  invoking  these  safe  harbor   provisions.   Such
forward-looking  statements  may be  deemed  to  include,  among  other  things,
statements  relating to anticipated  improvements  in financial  performance and
management's  long-term performance goals, as well as statements relating to the
anticipated  effects on results  of  operations  and  financial  condition  from
expected  development or events,  the Company's  business and growth strategies,
including  anticipated  internal growth,  plans to form additional de novo banks
and to open new branch offices, and to pursue additional  potential  development
or the acquisition of banks, specialty finance or fee-related businesses. Actual
results  could differ  materially  from those  addressed in the  forward-looking
statements as a result of numerous factors, including the following:

o    The level of reported  net income,  return on average  assets and return on
     average  equity  for the  Company  will in the  near  term  continue  to be
     impacted by start-up costs associated with de novo bank formations,  branch
     openings, and expanded trust and investment  operations.  De novo banks may
     typically require 13 to 24 months of operations before becoming profitable,
     due to the impact of  organizational  and overhead  expenses,  the start-up
     phase  of  generating  deposits  and the  time lag  typically  involved  in
     redeploying  deposits  into  attractively  priced  loans and  other  higher
     yielding earning assets.
o    The  Company's  success to date has been and will  continue  to be strongly
     influenced  by  its  ability  to  attract  and  retain  senior   management
     experienced in banking and financial services.
o    Although  management  believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to
     absorb  losses  that may  develop in the  existing  portfolio  of loans and
     leases,  there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient
     to cover actual future loan or lease losses.
o    If market interest rates should move contrary to the Company's gap position
     on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the "gap" will
     work  against  the Company and its net  interest  income may be  negatively
     affected.
o    The financial  services business is highly competitive which may affect the
     pricing of the Company's loan and deposit products as well as its services.
o    The Company may not be able to successfully adapt to technological  changes
     to compete effectively in the marketplace.
o    Future events may cause slower than  anticipated  development and growth of
     the Tricom  business  should the  temporary  staffing  industry  experience
     continued slowness.
o    Changes in the economic  environment,  competition,  or other factors,  may
     influence the anticipated growth rate of loans and deposits, the quality of
     the loan portfolio and the pricing of loans and deposits and may affect the
     Company's  ability  to  successfully   pursue   acquisition  and  expansion
     strategies.
o    Unforeseen  future  events  surrounding  the trust,  asset  management  and
     brokerage business,  including competition and related pricing of brokerage
     and asset management products, or difficulties  integrating the acquisition
     of the Wayne Hummer Companies.

                                     ITEM 3

           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS


As a continuing part of its financial  strategy,  the Company attempts to manage
the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on 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
policies are  established  and monitored by management in  conjunction  with the
boards of directors of the Banks,  subject to general oversight by the Company's
Board of Directors.  The policy establishes  guidelines for acceptable limits on
the  sensitivity  of the market  value of assets and  liabilities  to changes in
interest rates.

Interest  rate risk arises when the maturity or  repricing  periods and interest
rate indices of the interest earning assets,  interest bearing liabilities,  and
derivative  financial  instruments  are  different.   The  Company  continuously
monitors not only the  organization's  current net interest margin, but also the
historical trends of these margins. In addition, management attempts to identify
potential  adverse swings in net interest income in future years, as a result of
interest rate movements, by performing simulation analysis of potential interest
rate  environments.  If a potential  adverse swing in net interest margin and/or
net income is identified,  management then would take  appropriate  actions with
its  asset-liability  structure to counter these potentially adverse situations.
Please refer to the "Net Interest Income" section for further  discussion of the
net interest margin.

Since the Company's  primary source of interest bearing  liabilities is customer
deposits,  the Company's  ability to manage the types and terms of such deposits
may be somewhat  limited by customer  preferences  and local  competition in the
market areas in which the Company operates.  The rates,  terms and interest rate
indices of the  Company's  interest  earning  assets result  primarily  from the
Company's  strategy of investing in loans and short-term  securities that permit
the Company to limit its exposure to interest  rate risk,  together  with credit
risk, while at the same time achieving an acceptable interest rate spread.

One method utilized by financial institutions to manage interest rate risk is to
enter into derivative financial  instruments.  A derivative financial instrument
includes interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors, futures,  forwards,
option contracts and other financial  instruments with similar  characteristics.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company had $125 million  notional  principal amount of
interest  rate cap  contracts  outstanding  that  mature  between  July 2002 and
February 2003.  These  contracts were purchased to mitigate the effect of rising
rates on certain floating rate deposit products. Additionally,  during 2001, the
Company entered into a $25 million notional  principal amount interest rate swap
contract that matures in February  2004.  This contract  effectively  converts a
portion of the Company's floating-rate notes payable to a fixed-rate basis, thus
reducing the impact of rising interest rates on future interest expense.

During the first six months of 2002,  the  Company  also  entered  into  certain
covered  call  option  transactions  related to certain  securities  held by the
Company. These transactions are designed to increase the total return associated
with  holding  these  securities  as  earning  assets and are not used to manage
exposure to changing market interest rates.  However,  the Company's exposure to
interest rate risk may be effected by these transactions. To mitigate this risk,
the  Company  may  acquire  fixed  rate  term debt or use  financial  derivative
instruments. There were no call options outstanding as of June 30, 2002.

The  Company's  exposure  to  market  risk is  reviewed  on a  regular  basis by
management  and the  boards  of  directors  of the Banks  and the  Company.  The
objective is to measure the effect on net interest  income and to adjust balance
sheet and off-balance  sheet  instruments to minimize the inherent risk while at
the same time maximize income.  Tools used by management  include a standard gap
report and a rate  simulation  model whereby  changes in net interest income are
measured  in  the  event  of  various  changes  in  interest  rate  indices.  An
institution with more assets than liabilities  repricing over a given time frame
is considered  asset sensitive and will generally  benefit from rising rates and
conversely,  a higher  level of  repricing  liabilities  versus  assets would be
beneficial in a declining rate environment.

                                     - 40 -


Standard gap analysis starts with contractual  repricing information for assets,
liabilities and derivative financial instruments.  These items are then combined
with repricing  estimations for administered rate (NOW, savings and money market
accounts) and non-rate related products (demand deposit accounts,  other assets,
other  liabilities.  The following  table  illustrates  the Company's  estimated
interest rate  sensitivity  and periodic and cumulative gap positions as of June
30, 2002:

(1)  Loans,  net of  unearned  income  includes  mortgages  held  for  sale  and
     nonaccrual loans.
(2)  Non-contractual   interest-bearing   deposits   are  subject  to  immediate
     withdrawal and, therefore, are included in 0-90 days.

While the gap position and related  ratios  illustrated  in the table are useful
tools that management can use to assess the general positioning of the Company's
and  its  subsidiaries'  balance  sheets,  it is only  as of a  point  in  time.
Additionally,  the gap position does not reflect the impact of the interest rate
cap contracts  that may mitigate the effect of rising rates on certain  floating
rate deposit  products.  See Note  10-Derivative  Financial  Instruments  to the
unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  for further  information  on the
interest rate cap contracts.

Management uses an additional  measurement tool to evaluate its  asset-liability
sensitivity  that determines  exposure to changes in interest rates by measuring
the  percentage  change in net interest  income due to changes in interest rates
over a two-year  time  horizon.  Management  measures its exposure to changes in
interest rates using many different  interest rate scenarios.  One interest rate
scenario  utilized is to measure the  percentage  change in net interest  income
assuming an immediate  permanent  parallel shift in the yield curve of 200 basis
points, both upward and downward. This analysis also includes the impact of both
interest  rate  cap  agreements  mentioned  above.  Utilizing  this  measurement
concept, the interest rate risk of the Company, expressed as a percentage change
in net interest  income over a two-year  time horizon due to changes in interest
rates as of the dates shown is as follows:



                                                                                                   + 200 BASIS         - 200 BASIS

Percentage change in net interest income due to an immediate permanent 200 basis point parallel
  shift in the yield curve: (1)
         JUNE 30, 2002                                                                                  7.4    %           (16.4)  %

         June 30, 2001                                                                                  4.7    %            (7.0)  %

(1)  The June 30,  2002 and the  December  31,  2001 200 basis  point  immediate
     permanent downward parallel shift in the yield curve impacted a majority of
     rate  sensitive  assets by the  entire  200  basis  points,  while  certain
     interest-bearing  deposits  may  already  be at  their  floor,  or  reprice
     significantly less than 200 basis points.  This caused the results in a 200
     basis point immediate permanent downward parallel shift in the yield curve,
     to reflect a larger  decrease in net  interest  income at June 30, 2002 and
     December 31, 2001 compared to June 30, 2001.
</FN>



These results are based solely on an immediate parallel shift in the yield curve
and do not reflect the net interest income sensitivity that may arise from other
factors, such as changes in the shape of the yield curve or the change in spread
between key market rates. No management actions to mitigate potential changes in
net interest income are included in this simulation.  These  management  actions
could include,  but would not be limited to, delaying a change in deposit rates,
extending  the  maturity  of  liabilities,   the  use  of  derivative  financial
instruments,  changing the pricing  characteristics  of loans or  modifying  the
growth rate of certain types of assets or liabilities.
