All per share amounts in this Prospectus have been adjusted for a three-for-one split of the Common Stock in the form of a dividend which took effect on May 20, 1996. Unless the context clearly suggests otherwise, references in this Prospectus to the Company include all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Except as otherwise indicated, the information contained in this Prospectus assumes the Underwriter's over-allotment option is not exercised. THE COMPANY UnionBancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Ottawa, Illinois, located approximately 85 miles southwest of Chicago. The Company is one of the leading banking and trust institutions in LaSalle and contiguous counties in north central Illinois as evidenced by its approximate 11% share of deposits in LaSalle County. The Company conducts a full service community banking and trust business through its two subsidiary banks: UnionBank ("UnionBank/Streator") and UnionBank/Sandwich ("UnionBank/Sandwich," and collectively with UnionBank/Streator, the "Union Banks"). The Company also operates three non-bank subsidiaries engaged in providing data processing, debt collection and property management services to the Union Banks and third parties. At June 30, 1996, the Company had consolidated assets of approximately $296.6 million, deposits of approximately $259.1 million and stockholders' equity of approximately $23.5 million. UnionBank/Streator has four locations in Ottawa, three in Streator, and one in each of Triumph and Peru, Illinois. UnionBank/Sandwich has one location in each of Sandwich and Plano, Illinois. The Union Banks operate as community banks that focus on long-term relationships with customers and providing individualized quality service. Reflecting its community banking heritage, the Company has a stable deposit base from customers located within its north central Illinois market area. Its recent financial performance is characterized by consistent core earnings, an increasingly diversified loan portfolio and strong asset quality. On August 6, 1996, the Company acquired six additional bank subsidiaries through the purchase of Prairie Bancorp, Inc. ("Prairie"), a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Princeton, Illinois. The main offices of Prairie's subsidiary banks (collectively, the "Prairie Banks") are located in the Illinois communities of Ferris, Hanover, Ladd, Manlius, Tampico and Tiskilwa. The Prairie Banks also have branches in three other Illinois communities. Immediately prior to the closing of this Offering, the Company also expects to complete the acquisition of Country Bancshares, Inc., a one-bank holding company headquartered in Hull, Illinois ("Country"), with offices in six western Illinois communities not currently served by the Company. The acquisitions of Prairie and Country (the "Acquisitions") will increase the total assets of the Company from approximately $296.6 million to $633.3 million, an increase of 114%. See the summary descriptions of the acquisitions set forth below and "The Acquisitions." The Company's strategic plan contemplates an increase in profitability and stockholder value through a significant expansion of the Company's market area, substantial growth in its asset size and improved operational efficiencies. In 1993, the Company began implementing this plan by realigning its management structure through the redefinition of certain officers' duties and functions, hiring additional experienced senior executives and developing among its employees an aggressive sales culture. The acquisitions of Prairie and Country are expected to increase significantly the presence of the Company within the region's banking industry. Because of the reputations of the Company and its executive officers in the banking industry, the Company believes that it will be an attractive alternative to future sellers of community banks and thrifts. The Company believes that it can successfully manage these community-based institutions to increase their profitability by expanding cross-selling efforts and emphasizing those products and services offering the highest return on investment. The Company's operating strategy is to provide customers with the business sophistication and breadth of products of a regional financial services company, while retaining the special attention to personal service and the local appeal of a community bank. Decentralized decision making authority vested in the presidents and senior officers of the Company's bank subsidiaries allows for rapid response time and flexibility in dealing with customer requests and credit needs. The participation of the Company's directors, officers and employers in area civic and 3 5 service organizations demonstrates the Company's continuing commitment to the communities it serves. Management believes that these qualities distinguish the Company from its competitors and will allow the Company to compete successfully in its market area against larger regional and out of state institutions. THE ACQUISITIONS The acquisition of Prairie was completed on August 6, 1996, and the acquisition of Country is expected to be consummated immediately prior to the closing of this Offering. The Acquisitions will increase the Company's assets from $296.6 million to $633.3 million and the number of its banking locations from 11 to 27. Prairie is a multi-bank holding company that owns the six Prairie Banks. In addition to their respective main office locations, the Prairie Banks have four branch locations in the Illinois communities of Carthage, Elizabeth and Princeton. Country is a one-bank holding company that owns all of the capital stock of Omni Bank. Omni Bank's main office is located in Macomb, Illinois, with branch locations in five nearby Illinois communities. Prairie and Country had consolidated assets at June 30, 1996, of approximately $226.0 million and $103.2 million, respectively. Management of the Company believes that the Acquisitions present an excellent opportunity for increased earnings. The Prairie Banks have traditionally maintained a low loan to deposit ratio and instead have concentrated on attempting to increase earnings through management of their investment portfolios. Recently, profitability of the Prairie Banks has declined as interest rates have continued to rise and investment portfolio values have fallen. The Company intends to increase the profitability of the Prairie Banks by expanding their loan portfolios. The Company believes that it can grow the Prairie Banks' loan portfolios by enhancing marketing efforts, expanding loan products and increasing employee training. The Company also believes that by following a more conservative investment policy, it will be able to reduce the size of and better manage the investment portfolios of the Prairie Banks. Omni Bank has experienced rapid growth in recent years. In certain circumstances, this rapid growth has strained Omni Bank's administrative and data processing capabilities. The Company believes that consolidation of the administrative operations of Omni Bank and improved management controls will lead to improved efficiencies and will help to ensure that future expansion is managed profitably. In addition to the immediate increase in asset size and the potential for improved future profitability, the Acquisitions will allow the Company to expand its market area into what it believes are desirable banking locations. Most of the Prairie Banks are the sole financial institution in their communities and many are located in county seats and Omni Bank is based in a growing college community. Through the Acquisitions, the Company will increase from two bank subsidiaries with eleven locations in north central Illinois, to nine bank subsidiaries and twenty seven locations in thirteen counties across northern, north central and western Illinois. The resulting market area of the Company will extend from the far western suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across central and northern Illinois to the Mississippi River in western Illinois. This expansion will increase the geographic diversity of the Company's loan portfolio which is expected to decrease the Company's overall lending risks.

The Acquisitions will be accounted for as purchases and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisitions will be recorded at their estimated fair market values, with the excess of the respective purchase prices over the net fair market values recorded as goodwill. None of the information regarding the Company has been adjusted to reflect the acquisition of LaSalle County Collections, Inc., a collection agency ("LaSalle Collections"), that was consummated on August 1, 1996, and which, in the opinion of the Company's management, did not have a material effect on the Company from a financial viewpoint. The information with respect to the Company as of June 30, 1996, and the pro forma information are unaudited. The pro forma balance sheet assumes that the Acquisitions were consummated on June 30, 1996. The pro forma income statements assume that the Acquisitions were consummated at the beginning of the period indicated. The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. The pro forma combined balance sheet and statements of income are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position at consummation of the Acquisitions or the results of operations following consummation of the Acquisitions. 7 9 UNIONBANCORP, INC.

The order of the following is not intended to be indicative of the relative importance of any described risk, nor is the following intended to be inclusive of all risks of investment in the Common Stock. CONSOLIDATION ISSUES -- GENERAL As a result of the Acquisitions, the Company's asset size has substantially increased. The Company has not previously consummated an acquisition on the same scale as the Acquisitions. The future prospects of the Company will depend, in significant part, on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the Company's ability to integrate the Acquisitions; its ability to compete effectively in new market areas in the western, northwestern and southwestern portions of Illinois; its success in retaining earning assets, including loans, acquired in the Acquisitions; its ability to generate new earning assets; and its ability to attract and retain qualified management and other appropriate personnel. No assurance can be given with respect to the Company's ability to accomplish any of the foregoing or that the Company will be able to achieve results in the future similar to those achieved in the past or that the Company will be able to manage effectively the growth resulting from the Acquisitions. See "The Acquisitions." CONSOLIDATION ISSUES -- CREDIT QUALITY In connection with the Acquisitions, the Company and its representatives reviewed the loan portfolios of the Prairie Banks and Omni Bank. The Company's examinations were made using criteria, analyses and collateral evaluations that the Company has traditionally used in the review of its existing business. Nonperforming assets (including nonaccrual loans 90 days or more past due) at June 30, 1996 totaled approximately $850,000 at the Prairie Banks and $1,678,000 at Omni Bank. Nonperforming assets (including loans 90 days or more past due) at December 31, 1995, totaled approximately $673,000 at the Prairie Banks and $594,000 at Omni Bank. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Prairie Bancorp, Inc." and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Country Bancshares, Inc." At June 30, 1996, the Company's allowance for loan losses was 0.86% of total loans, while on a pro forma basis assuming consummation of the Acquisitions, the Company's allowance for loan losses would have been .89% at June 30, 1996. At December 31, 1995, the Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.11% of total loans, while on a pro forma basis at December 31, 1995, the Company's allowance for loan losses would have been 1.04%. The Company has sought to improve the quality of Omni Bank's loan portfolio by requiring the sale at book value of certain of Omni Bank's loans to the principal stockholders of Country as a condition to the closing of the Country Acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Country Acquisition, the principal stockholders of Country will acquire from Omni Bank all obligations payable to Omni Bank by certain borrowers whose loans have been identified by the Company as being loans which bear more than an average risk of loss. See "The Acquisitions -- Country Bancshares, Inc. -- Acquisition of Certain Property from Omni Bank." IMPACT OF INTEREST RATES AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS The results of operations for financial institutions, including the Union Banks, the Prairie Banks and Omni Bank (collectively, the "Bank Subsidiaries"), may be materially and adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including declines in real estate market values, rapid changes in interest rates and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. See "Supervision and Regulation -- General" and "-- Recent Regulatory Developments." The profitability of financial institutions such as the Bank Subsidiaries is in part dependent on the spread between the interest rates earned on investments and loans and the interest rates paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread and margin of the Bank Subsidiaries will be affected by general economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Company that influence market interest rates. While Prairie's investment portfolio has a relatively long duration and is subject to the risk of the rising cost of interest-sensitive liabilities, the Company has sought to limit possible losses from certain securities held for investment by the Prairie Banks. The terms of the Prairie Acquisition Agreement (as defined below) 14 16 provide that, under certain circumstances, the conversion value of the shares of the Company's newly authorized Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") issued at the closing of the Prairie Acquisition to the two principal Prairie stockholders (the "Principal Prairie Stockholders") will be adjusted to offset the amount of any future losses incurred by the Company in connection with Prairie's consolidated investment portfolio. See "The Acquisitions -- Prairie Bancorp, Inc. -- Consideration for Prairie Common and Preferred Stock." COMPETITION The Company and the Bank Subsidiaries face strong competition for deposits, loans and other financial services from numerous Illinois and out-of-state banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial institutions as well as other entities which provide financial services. Some of the financial institutions and financial services organizations with which the Bank Subsidiaries compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as are the Bank Subsidiaries. In addition, some of these entities have greater capital resources than the Company or the Bank Subsidiaries. See "Business -- Market Area" and -- Competition." Additionally, federal legislation regarding interstate branching and banking may increase competition in the future from larger out-of-state banks. See "Supervision and Regulation -- Recent Regulatory Developments." NO ASSURANCE OF DIVIDENDS The Company will be dependent upon dividends paid by the Bank Subsidiaries for funds to pay dividends on the Common Stock, if and when such dividends are declared. No assurance can be given that future earnings of the Bank Subsidiaries, and resulting dividends to the Company, will continue to be sufficient to permit the legal payment of dividends to the Company's stockholders at any time in the future. Moreover, holders of shares of the Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Acquisitions will first be entitled to receive dividends on the Preferred Stock before any dividends may be paid on the Common Stock. In addition, the Company does not currently own 100% of the Common Stock of certain of the Prairie Banks, thus the Company would not receive the full amount of any dividends paid by the Prairie Banks in which there are outstanding minority interests. See "The Acquisitions -- Prairie Bancorp, Inc. -- General." For a more detailed discussion of the regulatory and other limitations on the payment of cash dividends by the Company, see the "Prairie Banks," "Supervision and Regulation -- The Company -- Dividends" and "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock." DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT The Company and the Union Banks are dependent upon the services of R. Scott Grigsby, Chairman of the Board and President of the Company and Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of UnionBank/Streator, Charles J. Grako, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, Wayne L. Bismark, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer of the Company, and other senior officers of the Company and the Union Banks. The loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect the operations of the Company and the Bank Subsidiaries. The Company has entered into employment agreements (which include certain non-competition covenants) with Messrs. Grigsby, Grako, Bismark and certain other senior officers in an effort to assure the continued availability of their services to the Company. See "Business -- Employees" and "Management -- Employment Agreements." IMMEDIATE DILUTION The purchasers of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will experience immediate dilution in the pro forma net tangible book value of their shares in an approximate amount of $3.73 per share as compared to the per share price of this Offering. In the event the Company issues additional Common Stock in the future, including shares issued in connection with future acquisitions, the exercise of outstanding stock options or upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering may experience further dilution. See "Dilution." LIMITATIONS ON CHANGE OF CONTROL Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") limits the Company's ability to engage in certain business combinations with interested stockholders. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, 15 17 as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), provides for a staggered Board of Directors which classifies the Board of Directors into three classes, each of which is elected for a three year term. The Board of Directors of the Company is also further authorized to issue preferred stock in one or more additional series, with such terms, conditions and preferences as it deems appropriate, without stockholder action. Such shares could be issued in a manner which could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise. In addition, federal law requires the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB") prior to acquisition of "control" (as defined in applicable federal statutes and regulations) of a bank holding company. Furthermore, the Company's Board of Directors has recently adopted a Stockholders' Rights Plan that entitles the Company's stockholders to purchase additional shares of Common Stock at a rate that would be substantially less than the market value of such Common Stock if any person acquires 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company which may prevent a holder of Common Stock from realizing a premium as a result of a change in control of the Company. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Anti-Takeover Considerations." LIMITED TRADING HISTORY FOR COMMON STOCK The Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and is expected to be approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market prior to consummation of the Offering. Prior to this Offering, however, there has been no regular and liquid market for the Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that a regular and liquid trading market will develop and continue after this Offering or that the market price of the Common Stock will not decline below the initial public offering price. The initial public offering price has been determined through negotiations between the Company and representatives of the Underwriter and may not be indicative of the market price of the Common Stock following this Offering. See "Market for Common Stock and Dividends." SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP The Company will have approximately 3,951,403 shares of Common Stock outstanding following this Offering (assuming 1,100,000 shares are issued in this Offering and no exercise of options to purchase Common Stock granted under the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan, and further assuming that none of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued in the Prairie Acquisition are converted into Common Stock). The Company's management believes that 1,596,971 of these shares will be held by "affiliates" of the Company, and therefore will be "restricted securities" and may not be sold unless they are sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, including an exemption contained in Rule 145 under the Securities Act, or are registered under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, Rule 145 or otherwise, or even the potential for such sales, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices for the Common Stock and impair the Company's ability to raise capital through the sale of its equity securities. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale." After the consummation of this Offering, the Principal Prairie Stockholders will be the Company's largest stockholders, each holding approximately 9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each of the Principal Prairie Stockholders has entered into a "Standstill Agreement" whereby they have agreed not to take any actions that would increase their respective percentage ownership above 12.5% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, excluding shares obtainable or obtained through the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or actions approved by the Company's Board of Directors, for a four-year period (the "Standstill Period") following the Prairie Acquisition. Under the Standstill Agreement, each of the Principal Prairie Stockholders has granted a limited proxy to the President of the Company to vote their shares of Common Stock with respect to any election of directors of the Company during the Standstill Period. Notwithstanding the Standstill Agreement, each of the Principal Prairie Stockholders may nonetheless be able to exert influence on the Company's future strategic direction with regard to, among other things, the long-term independence of the Company. See "The Acquisitions -- Prairie Bancorp, Inc. -- Restrictions Applicable to Certain Prairie Stockholders." USE OF PROCEEDS The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, are estimated to be approximately 16 18 $11,000,000 ($________ if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of such amount, the Company intends to use approximately $_____________ of the net proceeds to retire indebtedness incurred by the Company, and approximately $__________ of the net proceeds to repay indebtedness assumed by the Company, in each case in connection with the Acquisitions. With respect to the indebtedness incurred in connection with the Acquisitions, such indebtedness was obtained through loans from LaSalle National Bank, Chicago, Illinois, in the form of a term loan in the principal amount of $26,000,000 and a revolving credit loan in the principal amount of $500,000. The term loan bears interest, at the Company's option, at a rate of either: (i) the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate plus 125 basis points, (ii) the prime rate or (iii) a rate equal to 150 basis points in excess of the then current rate on U. S. Treasury Bills with the same maturity. The term loan matures on August 2, 1997, and requires a principal payment in the amount of $10,000,000 to be made on November 1, 1996. The revolving credit loan bears interest at the LaSalle National Bank prime rate. The Company's obligations under the loans are secured by a pledge to LaSalle National Bank of all of the shares of capital stock of the Bank Subsidiaries held by the Company. The retirement and repayment of such indebtedness will allow the Company, upon consummation of the Acquisitions, to continue to meet certain minimum capital requirements imposed by the FRB. CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth the consolidated capitalization of the Company as of June 30, 1996, and adjusted capitalization reflecting the issuance and sale of the Common Stock offered by the Company hereby (assuming no exercise of the Underwriter's over-allotment option) and the resulting net proceeds of $11,000,000 after deduction of all estimated expenses of the Offering. See "Use of Proceeds." The table also reflects the effect of the Acquisitions. See "The Acquisitions."

However, in connection with the Prairie Acquisition the Company issued 710,576 shares of Common Stock. See "The Acquisitions -- Prairie Bancorp, Inc." The following sets forth information, after giving effect to the Acquisitions and as of June 30, 1996, regarding the dilution to be realized by purchasers in this Offering as compared to the persons receiving Common Stock in the Prairie Acquisition. The net tangible book value of the Company as of June 30, 1996, was approximately $22,579,000, or $10.59 per share. "Net tangible book value" per share represents stockholders equity attributable to common stock less intangible assets, divided by the number of outstanding shares excluding shares held by the Company as treasury stock. The pro forma net tangible book value of the Company as of June 30, 1996 after consideration of the effect of the Acquisitions would have been approximately $20,715,000, or $7.26 per share. Dilution per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of Common Stock in this Offering and the as adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after completion of this Offering. After giving effect to the sale of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company in this Offering, including deductions for underwriting discounts, commissions and the estimated offering expenses, and after giving effect to the Prairie Acquisition, pro forma net tangible book value of the Company as of June 30, 1996, would have been approximately $30,712,000 or $7.77 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value, after consideration of the effect of the Prairie Acquisition, of $0.51 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $3.73 per share to new investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in this Offering, as illustrated in the following table: Initial public offering price per share $11.50 Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 1996 $10.59 Decrease in net tangible book value per share attributable to acquisition $(3.33) Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to investors in this Offering $0.51 Pro forma net tangible book value per share after the Offering $7.77 Dilution per share to new investors $3.73 The following table summarizes on a pro forma basis, as of June 30, 1996, assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Prairie Acquisition into Common Stock (at a conversion rate based upon the book value per share of the Company as of June 30, 1996, and assuming no reduction in the conversion ratio), the difference between the persons who received Common Stock in the Prairie Acquisition and the purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering regarding the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid (before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses): SHARES TOTAL AVERAGE PRICE PURCHASED CONSIDERATION PER SHARE ------------------ -------------------- ---------------- NUMBER PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT ------ ------- ------ ------- Prairie stockholders(1) 847,514 43.5% $ 8,209,750 39.4% $ 9.69 Stockholders purchasing in this Offering 1,100,000 56.5% $12,650,000 60.6% $11.50 --------- ----- ----------- ------ ------ Totals 1,947,514 100.0% $20,859,750 100.00% $10.71 ========= ===== =========== ====== ====== - -------------- (1) Does not include shares of Common Stock issued by the Company to acquire LaSalle Collections. As of June 30, 1996, there were options outstanding to purchase a total of 109,650 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $6.90 per share under the Stock Option Plan. To the extent outstanding options are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors. If all outstanding options were exercised, the pro forma net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this Offering would be 18 20 $7.75. This represents an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.02 per share to purchasers of Common Stock in this Offering. See "Management -- Stock Option Plan." MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDENDS The Company's Common Stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board since January 1996, and is expected to be approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "UBCD" prior to consummation of this Offering. Prior to this Offering, however, there has been no regular and liquid market for the Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that a regular and liquid trading market will develop or continue after this Offering or that the market price will not decline below the initial public offering price. On June 30, 1996, the Company estimates that it had approximately 430 stockholders. The Company currently serves as its own transfer agent and registrar, however, it is expected that prior to the completion of this Offering, Harris Trust and Savings Bank will become transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock. As of August 5, 1996, the last per share sale price for Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board was $11.00. The table below indicates the high and low sales prices of the Common Stock for transactions of which the Company is aware, and the dividends declared per share for the Common Stock during the periods indicated, in each case adjusted for the three-for-one stock split which took effect on May 20, 1996. Because the Company is not aware of the price at which certain private transactions in the Common Stock have occurred, the prices shown may not necessarily represent the complete range of prices at which transactions in the Common Stock have occurred during such periods. Such prices also are not necessarily indicative of the price which may be obtained in a public offering or an active established market.

The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, which considers payment of dividends quarterly. Upon the consummation of the Prairie Acquisition, preferential dividends are required to be paid or accrued quarterly with respect to the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (as defined below). See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock." The ability of the Company to pay dividends in the future will be primarily dependent upon its receipt of dividends from the Bank Subsidiaries. In determining cash dividends, the Board of Directors considers the earnings, capital requirements, debt and dividend servicing requirements, financial ratio guidelines it has established, financial condition of the Company and other relevant factors. The Bank Subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends to the 19 21 Company and the Company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders are also subject to certain regulatory restrictions. See "Supervision and Regulation -- The Company -- Dividends" and "-- The Bank Subsidiaries -- Dividends." The Company has paid regular cash dividends on the Common Stock since it commenced operations in 1982. The Company currently expects to pay cash dividends on the Common Stock after the Acquisitions at the Company's current rate. There can be no assurance, however, that any such dividends will be paid by the Company or that such dividends will not be reduced or eliminated in the future. The timing and amount of dividends will depend upon the earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of the Company and the Bank Subsidiaries as well as the general economic conditions and other relevant factors affecting the Company and the Bank Subsidiaries. See "Investment Considerations -- No Assurance of Dividends." The Company entered into a new loan agreement in connection with the Acquisitions replacing the Company's prior loan agreement. The new loan agreement contains no direct prohibitions against the payment by the Company of dividends, but indirectly restricts such dividends through the required maintenance of minimum capital ratios. In addition, the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the Company's newly authorized Series B Preferred Stock issued to certain of Prairie's preferred stockholders (the "Series B Preferred Stock," and collectively with the Series A Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock"), prohibit the payment of dividends by the Company on the Common Stock during any period for which dividends on the respective series of Preferred Stock are in arrears. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock." THE ACQUISITIONS PRAIRIE BANCORP, INC. BUSINESS Prairie was organized in 1989 as an Illinois corporation and its main office is located in Princeton, Illinois. Prairie engages in no significant activities other than owning and managing the six Prairie Banks. Three of the Prairie Banks (the Manlius, Ladd and Tiskilwa Banks) are located in Bureau County. Bureau County is adjacent to and west of LaSalle County, where the Company is headquartered. The Manlius Bank also operates two branches in Princeton, the county seat of Bureau County. The Tampico Bank is located in Whiteside County, which is immediately northwest of Bureau County. The Hanover Bank is located in Jo Daviess County in the northwest corner of Illinois. The Ferris Bank is located in western Illinois approximately 25 miles west of Macomb, Illinois, the headquarters of Omni Bank. See the map on page 2 of this Prospectus. At June 30, 1996, Prairie had total consolidated assets of approximately $226.0 million, total consolidated deposits of approximately $187.8 million and total consolidated stockholders' equity of approximately $11.7 million. Each of the Prairie Banks is a community bank located in a predominantly agricultural area. Each Prairie Bank offers interest and noninterest bearing deposit accounts and makes consumer, commercial and agricultural loans. As of June 30, 1996, the combined Prairie Banks' loan portfolios in aggregate book value and as a percentage of the total consolidated loan portfolio consisted of $41.0 million of real estate loans (55.5% of total loans), $25.9 million of commercial loans (35.0% of total loans) and $7.0 million of consumer loans (9.5% of total loans). As of June 30, 1996, the combined Prairie Banks' total nonaccrual loans equaled $248,000, or 0.34% of total loans. The allowance for possible loan losses was $784,000, or 316.1% of total nonaccrual loans and 1.06% of the gross loan portfolio. Other real estate owned by the Prairie Banks had an aggregate value at June 30, 1996, of $22,000. The combined Prairie Banks' net income after taxes was $828,000 for 1995 and $497,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. See the consolidated financial statements of Prairie included in this Prospectus. Prairie emphasizes operating autonomy at each of its subsidiary banks and a conservative lending policy. The president of each of the Prairie Banks is an experienced banker who resides in the vicinity of their banks' respective communities. Prairie is managed by Robert L. Davidson, whose primary responsibility is managing the investment portfolio of the Prairie Banks. ACQUISITION BY THE COMPANY On January 22, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as subsequently 20 22 amended the "Prairie Acquisition Agreement") with Prairie pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Prairie's common and preferred stock (the "Prairie Common Stock" and "Prairie Preferred Stock," respectively). Prairie's stockholders approved the Prairie Acquisition Agreement on February 29, 1996 and the transaction was consummated on August 6, 1996. As a result of the Prairie Acquisition, Prairie became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As more fully set forth below and subject to certain future possible adjustments, the total net value of the consideration in connection with the Prairie Acquisition was $6,599,000, which was paid in a combination of cash and securities of the Company. Prairie does not own 100% of the capital stock of each of the Prairie Banks, although Prairie is in all cases the controlling stockholder of such institutions. The percentage ownership of Prairie, as well as additional information about each of the Prairie Banks, is set forth in the following table. The Company intends in the future to acquire all of the outstanding stock of the Prairie Banks held by minority stockholders and not currently owned by Prairie. The Company estimates that the total cost to acquire such minority interests will be approximately $845,000. PERCENTAGE TOTAL ASSETS LOCATION OF BRANCH OWNERSHIP AS OF NAME OF BANK MAIN OFFICE LOCATIONS OF PRAIRIE JUNE 30, 1996 - ------------ ----------- --------- ---------- ------------- Farmers State Bank of Ferris Carthage Ferris 100.0% $49,368,000 ("Ferris Bank") Hanover State Bank Hanover Elizabeth 100.0% $25,626,000 ("Hanover Bank") Bank of Ladd Ladd 80.0% $42,211,000 ("Ladd Bank") First National Bank of Manlius Manlius Princeton (2) 98.5% $64,618,000 ("Manlius Bank") Tampico National Bank Tampico 99.4% $19,643,000 ("Tampico Bank") Tiskilwa State Bank Tiskilwa 95.0% $24,387,000 ("Tiskilwa Bank") CONSIDERATION FOR PRAIRIE COMMON STOCK AND PRAIRIE PREFERRED STOCK At the closing of the Prairie Acquisition (the "Prairie Closing"), stockholders of Prairie received the following consideration in exchange for their shares of Prairie's capital stock: holders of Prairie Common Stock and Prairie's Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock received a total of 710,576 shares of Common Stock, 2,762.24 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and $5,000,000 in cash and holders of Prairie Series A Preferred Stock received a total of 857 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and $235,000 in cash. The Company's Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments intended to offset the amount of losses incurred by the Company upon the post-closing sale of certain securities in Prairie's consolidated investment portfolio. See "Description of Capital Stock of the Company -- Preferred Stock." The Prairie Acquisition Agreement provides for an adjustment of the aggregate conversion value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Assuming that all of Prairie's investment portfolio was held as available for sale securities, as of June 30, 1996, the aggregate amount of unrealized losses in Prairie's investment portfolio was $1.9 million. Pursuant to the Prairie Acquisition Agreement, a portion of the securities in Prairie's consolidated investment portfolio in the approximate face amount of $61.7 million were designated as Part B Securities (the "Part B Securities"). In general, the Prairie Acquisition Agreement provides that any losses recognized by the Company upon the post-closing sale of any of the Part B securities will have the effect of reducing the conversion value of the Series A Preferred Stock held by the Principal Prairie Stockholders and thus reduce the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock is convertible. See "Description of Capital Stock of the Company -- Preferred Stock." 21 23 RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO PRINCIPAL PRAIRIE STOCKHOLDERS The shares of Common Stock exchanged in the Prairie Acquisition and the shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock held by the Principal Prairie Stockholders are subject to the terms and conditions of a Standstill Agreement between the Company and the Principal Prairie Stockholders executed at the time of the Prairie Closing. The Standstill Agreement provides that prior to the fourth anniversary of the Prairie Closing, each of the Principal Prairie Stockholders may not, either alone or with any affiliate, increase his holdings of Common Stock to 12.5% or more of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Principal Prairie Stockholders is entitled to exceed such 12.5% ownership limitation as a result of: (i) acquiring shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) receiving additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to stock dividends or other offerings made by the Company generally to all holders of Common Stock; or (iii) actions approved by the Company's Board of Directors and affecting all holders of the Common Stock generally. The Standstill Agreement further provides that during the Standstill Period, the Principal Prairie Stockholders will not make any offer to sell or transfer any shares of Common Stock to an unrelated third party to the extent such shares, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock transferred by such individual, represent 5% or more of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, without first providing the Company with the opportunity to purchase such shares on the same terms and conditions offered by such third party. During the Standstill Period, each of the Principal Prairie Stockholders has granted a limited proxy to the President of the Company for all shares of Common Stock held by each of the Principal Prairie Stockholders with respect to any stockholder vote regarding elections to the Company's Board of Directors. The proxy granted to the President of the Company will terminate on the earlier of the expiration of the Standstill Period or at such time, if any, as any third party or group unaffiliated with any of the Principal Prairie Stockholders acquires 25% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Subject to certain exceptions for issuances of Common Stock under employee benefit plans, the Standstill Agreement grants each Principal Prairie Stockholder the right to purchase from the Company additional shares of Common Stock in the event of certain dilutive actions on the part of the Company. REGISTRATION AGREEMENT The Company also has entered into a Registration Agreement that grants to the Principal Prairie Stockholders certain "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the Common Stock owned by such stockholders. Pursuant to the Registration Agreement, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Common Stock held by the Principal Prairie Stockholders, the Company must give notice to such stockholders and they may elect to include in such registration all or any part of the shares of Common Stock then owned by them. Notwithstanding such election, however, all or any portion of the shares of Common Stock elected by the Prairie Principal Stockholders may subsequently be excluded from such registration statement if the Company's underwriter determines that the number of securities requested to be registered would exceed the number of securities that can be sold in such registered offering. COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC. BUSINESS Country is a one-bank holding company headquartered in Macomb, Illinois. Country engages in no significant activities other than owning and managing Omni Bank. The directors of Country are the record and beneficial owners of approximately 90% of the outstanding common stock of Country. Country's only subsidiary, Omni Bank, was created by the merger on December 7, 1994, of three other banks. The First National Bank in Blandinsville, Blandinsville, Illinois, merged into the Paloma Exchange Bank, Paloma, Illinois. The Paloma Exchange Bank subsequently purchased the assets and assumed the liabilities of Omni Bank, Hull, Illinois. The Paloma Exchange Bank then changed its name to Omni Bank and relocated its main office from Paloma to Macomb, Illinois. Macomb, located in the west central part of Illinois in McDonough County, serves as the county seat and 22 24 the region's business, educational and entertainment center by providing retail and manufacturing opportunities, as well as health care, entertainment and cultural activities for the area's residents. Macomb is the home of Western Illinois University which has approximately 12,500 students. Omni Bank's five branches (Blandinsville, Camp Point, East Hannibal, Hull and Paloma, Illinois) are located in predominantly agricultural areas. Omni Bank has recently exercised an option to purchase a parcel of real estate in Hannibal, Missouri for possible future expansion. At June 30, 1996, Country had total consolidated assets of approximately $103.2 million, total consolidated deposits of approximately $90.8 million and total consolidated stockholders' equity of approximately $2.4 million. Omni Bank is a community bank whose business includes conventional consumer and commercial products and services, including interest and noninterest bearing depository accounts, commercial, industrial, consumer, real estate and agricultural lending. At June 30, 1996, Omni Bank's loan portfolio in aggregate book value and as a percentage of the total loan portfolio consisted of $39.2 million in real estate loans (58.3% of total loans), $22.4 million in commercial and industrial loans (33.3% of total loans), and $5.0 million in consumer loans (7.5% of total loans) and $600,000 in other loans (0.9% of total loans). At June 30, 1996, Omni Bank had total nonaccrual loans of $1.3 million, representing 1.96% of gross loans. The allowance for loan losses equaled $500,000, or 38.0% of total nonaccrual loans, and 0.75% of total loans. Omni Bank reported net income of $155,288 for the first six months of 1996 and net income of $208,598 for the year ended December 31, 1995. See the consolidated financial statements of Country included in this Prospectus. ACQUISITION BY THE COMPANY On March 21, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Country Acquisition Agreement") with Country pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Country's common and preferred stock (the "Country Common Stock" and the "Country Preferred Stock," respectively). Country's stockholders approved the Country Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder on May 20, 1996. Following the consummation of the Country Acquisition, Country will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company filed the necessary regulatory applications requesting approval from the FRB and the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Real Estate (the "Illinois Commissioner"), on May 1, and May 16, 1996, respectively, and has subsequently received all necessary approvals to consummate the Country Acquisition. The consideration to be paid in connection with the Country Acquisition is $11,445,000, which amount is subject to adjustment based upon the book value of certain of Country's loans at the closing of the Country Acquisition (the "Country Closing"). CONSIDERATION FOR COUNTRY COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK The Country Acquisition Agreement provides that upon consummation of the Country Acquisition, holders of Country Common Stock and Country Preferred Stock will receive the following consideration in exchange for their shares of Country's capital stock. Holders of Series 1 and Series 2 Class A Preferred Stock of Country will each receive cash equal to $295 plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends for each such share. Each holder of Country Common Stock will receive cash in an amount as computed pursuant to a formula set forth in the Country Acquisition Agreement. The formula provides that the holders of Country Common Stock will receive an aggregate of $11,445,000 in cash less the amount paid to the holders of Series 1 and Series 2 Class A Preferred Stock of Country and less the amount necessary to satisfy in full all of the outstanding liabilities of Country immediately prior to the Country Closing. In addition to the foregoing, the cash price per share of Country Common Stock may be increased if, prior to the Country Closing, Omni Bank experiences recoveries on certain of its loans in excess of their current book values. Any such increase in the cash price per share of Country Common Stock would be equal to the amount by which such recovery, if any, exceeds the book value of such loans. NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS At or prior to the Country Closing, non-competition agreements are to be executed by Ivan and Betty Wharton, the President and the Chairman of Country, respectively (the "Whartons"), which provide, among other things, that for three years following the Country Closing neither of the Whartons will compete directly or indirectly with Omni Bank by becoming an employee, officer, director or consultant to any financial institution maintaining an office within a five-mile radius of any of Omni Bank's offices. The Whartons will each receive $5,000 as consideration for the execution of their respective non-competition agreements. 23 25 ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN PROPERTY FROM OMNI BANK As a condition to the Company's obligation to consummate the Country Acquisition, the Whartons must acquire from Omni Bank all obligations payable to Omni Bank by certain borrowers whose loans have been identified by the Company as bearing more than an average risk of loss. The Whartons have agreed to acquire any such loans from Omni Bank for cash at or prior to the Country Closing at the respective book value of each such loan at the time of the Country Closing. As a further condition to the Company's obligation to close the Country Acquisition, the Whartons have also agreed to acquire for cash at their respective book values all parcels of real estate and improvements owned by Omni Bank in Paloma, Illinois, including Omni Bank's Paloma branch office and certain other property located adjacent to this branch. Pursuant to the Country Acquisition Agreement, Omni Bank will lease the Paloma branch office from the Whartons over a ten-year term. Under the lease agreement, Omni Bank also has the right to purchase the property at any time during the term of the lease for a price equal to the then current appraised fair market value of the property. INDEMNIFICATION The Whartons have each agreed to indemnify and hold the Company harmless against any losses or damages incurred by the Company in connection with any of the Omni Bank loans to be acquired by them or in connection with certain contingent liabilities associated with the Paloma, Illinois property. This indemnity will expire three years after the date of the Country Closing. ANTICIPATED EFFECTS AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITIONS Management of the Company believes that the Acquisitions will provide a cost-effective means for the Company to expand into new markets for financial services in northwestern, western and southwestern Illinois. The Company's management believes it can achieve revenue enhancements, operating efficiencies, loan diversification and additional growth opportunities as a result of the Acquisitions. Revenue enhancements, primarily in the form of increased net interest income, are anticipated from, among other things, expanding the Company's commercial and retail banking services into new markets. Historically, the Prairie Banks have maintained a low loan to deposit ratio and have concentrated on attempting to increase earnings through management of their investment portfolios. The Company believes that margin gains can be achieved by converting lower yielding securities at the Prairie Banks into higher yielding loans through increased marketing efforts. Following the consummation of the Acquisitions, the Company intends to increase the volume of consumer and commercial lending by Prairie and to expand the types of loan products offered to include auto and student loans, loans secured by equipment, inventory and accounts receivable, letters of credit, Small Business Administration ("SBA") financing and minority business loans. The Company also anticipates revising Omni Bank's rate structure and repricing certain loans, deposits and services to reflect the gross margin objectives of the Company. In addition, the Company expects to increase interest and non-interest income by cross-selling products and services to the customers of Omni Bank. Fee based income is expected to increase through the offering of new services to customers of all of the newly acquired banks. The Company intends to offer its corporate cash management services to customers through the Prairie Banks and Omni Bank. The Company expects that it will be able to increase significantly the operating efficiencies at the Prairie Banks and Omni Bank. The Company intends to consolidate all data processing services within UnionData Corp, Inc., the Company's data processing subsidiary ("UnionData"). This consolidation should also enable the Company to track closely the financial operations of each of its branches and make additional operational changes on a timely basis. The Company intends to consolidate certain other functions at the holding company level, including human resources, loan review and audit and property management. The Acquisitions will allow the Company to expand its market area into what it believes are desirable banking locations. Most of the Prairie Banks are the sole financial institution in their communities and many are located in county seats. Omni Bank is based in a growing college community. Through the Acquisitions, the Company will increase from two bank subsidiaries with eleven locations in north central Illinois, to nine bank subsidiaries and twenty seven locations in thirteen counties across northern, north central and western Illinois. The 24 26 resulting market area of the Company will extend from the far western suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across central and northern Illinois to the Mississippi River in western Illinois. This expansion will increase the geographic diversity of the Company's loan portfolio, which is expected to decrease the Company's overall lending risks. The Acquisitions are expected to increase significantly the presence of the Company within the region's banking industry. Because of the reputations of the Company and its executive officers in the banking industry, the Company believes that it will be an attractive alternative to future sellers of community banks and thrifts.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with "Selected Consolidated Financial Data," the consolidated statements of financial condition of the Company and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. GENERAL The Company derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operations of its banking subsidiaries, the Union Banks, which provide a full range of commercial and consumer banking services to businesses and individuals, primarily in LaSalle and contiguous counties in north central Illinois. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had total assets of $296.6 million, net loans of $184.2 million, total deposits of $259.0 million and total stockholders' equity of $23.5 million. As a result of internal loan and deposit portfolio growth, coupled with a relatively stable net interest margin, the Company reported net income of $1,111,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with net income of $1,043,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME Net income was $1,111,000 ($.51 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with net income of $1,043,000 ($.49 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $68,000 or 6.5%. The increase in earnings in 1996 compared with 1995 was primarily attributable to growth in the Company's loan and deposit portfolios. Net income was $2,353,000 for 1995 ($1.09 per share), compared with net income of $2,594,000 for 1994 ($1.22 per share) and $2,462,000 for 1993 ($1.15 per share). The $241,000 (9.3%) decrease in earnings for 1995 compared to 1994 was primarily attributable to start-up costs related to the opening of two new banking facilities during that year. The $132,000 (5.4%) increase in 1994 as compared to 1993 resulted primarily from a $608,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses which reflected improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio as evidenced by a reduction in net charge-offs during the same period. NET INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES Net income before income taxes was $1,491,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with $1,408,000 for the first six months of 1995, a 5.9% increase. Net income before income taxes was $3,234,000 in 1995, a decrease of $63,000 or 1.9% compared with $3,297,000 in 1994, which represented an increase of $88,000, or 2.7%, compared with $3,209,000 in 1993. The decline in net income before income taxes for 1995 compared to 1994 was primarily attributable to start-up costs related to the opening of two new banking facilities during that year. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as interest rate margin or net interest margin, represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. The Company's principal interest-earning assets are loans, investment securities and federal funds sold. Net interest income was $5,428,000 for the first six months of 1996, an increase of $452,000 or 9.1% compared with the first six months of 1995, resulting principally from an increase in average interest-earning assets from $251.6 million to $274.8 million, a significant portion of which was comprised of loans. The increase in net interest income resulting from increased interest-earning assets was partially offset in interest-bearing liabilities from $221.4 million to $239.4 million. In addition, the Company experienced a decrease in its net interest margin from 4.27% at June 30, 1995, to 4.23% at June 30, 1996. The decrease in net interest margin resulted principally from 28 30 the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing more than the yield on interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets increased from 8.45% to 8.51%, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.75% to 4.91% during such period. Net interest income was $10,119,000 for 1995, an increase of $198,000 or 2.0% compared with net interest income of $9,921,000 for 1994, which represented an increase of $115,000 or 1.2% compared with net interest income of $9,806,000 for 1993. The Company's average total interest-earning assets increased from approximately $242.8 million for 1994 to $261.0 million for 1995, representing a 7.5% increase resulting principally from an increase in loans. The net interest margin declined to 4.15% at December 31, 1995, from 4.38% at December 31, 1994. Although interest rates on average earning assets increased to 8.46% in 1995 from 7.96% in 1994, rates on average interest bearing liabilities increased to 4.90% in 1995 from 4.08% in 1994. The increase in average earning assets primarily resulted from average rate increases in the loan portfolio and reflected an overall increase in market rates of interest. The most significant variances comprising the increase in interest bearing liabilities were interest rates on NOW Accounts and Money Market Accounts due to new tiered pricing products introduced by the Company in 1995, as well as interest rates on time deposits reflecting the increase in market rates of interest. The following table sets forth for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts and the average rate paid for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on all interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities and the net yield on average interest-earning assets for the same period. 29 31 AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET AND ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) FOR THE YEARS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- 1996 1995 1995 --------------------------- --------------------------- --------------------------- INTEREST INTEREST INTEREST AVERAGE INCOME/ AVERAGE AVERAGE INCOME/ AVERAGE AVERAGE INCOME/ AVERAGE BALANCE EXPENSE RATE BALANCE EXPENSE RATE BALANCE EXPENSE RATE ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ASSETS INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS: Interest earning deposits.............. $ 30 $ 1 5.32% $ 22 $ 1 5.33% $ 27 $ 2 5.85% Investment securities: Taxable............................... 66,450 1,978 5.99 61,096 1,755 5.79 62,808 3,636 5.79 Non-taxable (1)....................... 24,989 946 7.61 23,852 945 7.99 24,463 1,919 7.84 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total investment securities.......... 91,439 2,924 6.43 84,948 2,700 6.41 87,271 5,555 6.37 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Federal funds sold.................... 1,184 32 5.43 1,429 44 6.21 2,577 156 6.05 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Loans: (2) (3) Commercial and industrial............. 58,078 2,791 9.66 54,024 2,659 9.93 55,431 5,524 9.97 Real estate mortgages................. 101,844 4,506 8.89 90,595 3,963 8.82 94,050 8,380 8.91 Installment and other................. 24,328 1,087 8.99 22,424 986 8.87 23,523 2,103 8.94 Fees on loans......................... 0 288 0.00 0 192 0.00 0 362 0.00 Less: Allowance for loan losses.......

During these evaluations, consideration is also given to such factors as management's evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of nonperforming loans, historical loss experience, results of examinations by regulatory agencies, an internal asset review process, the market value of collateral, the strength and availability of guaranties, concentrations of credits and other judgmental factors. The Company recorded a $500,000 provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with $342,000 during the first six months of 1995. Although the Company's ratio of net charge-offs to average loans remained unchanged for these periods, the Company made additional provisions to the allowance to compensate for growth in the loan portfolio and to maintain the allowance for loan losses at what management believes to be an adequate level. 31 33 The 1995 provision for loan losses was $684,000 compared with $660,000 in 1994 and $1,268,000 in 1993. The 3.6% increase in the 1995 provision for loan losses when compared with 1994 was primarily a result of a $19,685,000, or 12.2% increase in loans outstanding which was partially offset by a $369,000 or 49.7% decrease in net charge-offs. The 47.9% decrease from 1993 to 1994 was primarily a result of a $324,000, or 30.37% decrease in net charge-offs. NONINTEREST INCOME The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. NONINTEREST INCOME (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1995 1994 1993 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Service charges......... $ 488 $ 458 $ 952 $ 895 $ 822 Merchant fee income..... 237 184 418 357 343 Trust income............ 183 150 330 301 200 Gain on sale of loans... 142 45 288 130 574 Securities gains, net... 13 61 98 118 185 Other noninterest income 261 289 484 482 388 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total noninterest income $1,324 $1,187 $2,570 $2,283 $2,512 ============= ============= ============= ============= ============= Noninterest income is generated primarily from fees associated with noninterest and interest-bearing accounts. Noninterest income for the first six months of 1996 was $1,324,000, an increase of $137,000 or 11.5% compared with noninterest income of $1,187,000 for the first six months of 1995. Noninterest income was $2,570,000 for 1995, an increase of $287,000 or 12.6% compared with noninterest income of $2,283,000 for 1994, which represented a decrease of $229,000 or 9.1% from $2,512,000 in 1993. The growth of the Union Banks during 1996 increased the number and balance of noninterest and interest-bearing accounts, resulting in increased noninterest income. Specifically, service charges increased on demand deposit accounts, the largest component of noninterest bearing deposit accounts, and charges grew for items such as insufficient funds and overdrafts primarily on transactional deposit products such as demand, NOW and Money Market accounts. The increase in service charge income to $952,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, from $895,000 and $822,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994, and 1993, respectively, was related to increases in deposit account balances and increases in the service charge schedule during those periods. Merchant fee income is derived from the Company's credit card operations, comprised primarily of merchant fees (56% of total merchant fees), interchange fees (18% of total merchant fees) and annual fees (11% of total merchant fees). Total merchant fee income has continued to increase as the Company adds new merchants to its customer list and as credit card activity has grown. Other noninterest income is primarily derived from fee-based banking services such as loan servicing fees, and sales of travelers checks and money orders. The Company, through its affiliates, provides trust services to its customers by acting as executor, administrator, trustee, agent and in various other fiduciary capacities for client accounts. Total assets under management at June 30, 1996, were approximately $80 million. Trust income, which is predominately comprised of fees assessed based on the market value of managed client portfolios, increased by $29,000 during 1995, which followed a $101,000 increase in 1994. A significant contribution to the Company's noninterest income was also made by its residential real estate mortgage and origination, sales and servicing operations. In addition, during 1995 the Company implemented a program in connection with the SBA which guarantees repayment on portions of loans if a borrower defaults. Revenues from both of these operations are a substantial component of noninterest income and include commissions and fees for third party loan servicing, origination and other fees received at closing and realized gains on the sale of loans into the secondary market. 32 34 NONINTEREST EXPENSE The following table shows the Company's noninterest expense for the periods indicated: NONINTEREST EXPENSE (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) SIX MONTHS YEAR ENDED ENDED JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, ---------------- ---------------------- 1996 1995 1995 1994 1993 ------- ------- ------ ------ ------ Salaries and employee benefits.... $2,544 $2,174 $4,451 $3,868 $3,613 Occupancy expense, net............ 384 336 665 574 550 Furniture and equipment expenses.. 331 274 584 560 576 FDIC deposit assessment........... 3 259 271 526 502 Other noninterest expense......... 1,499 1,370 2,800 2,719 2,600 ------- ------- ------ ------ ------ Total noninterest expense....... $4,761 $4,413 $8,771 $8,247 $7,841 ======= ======= ====== ====== ====== Noninterest expense was $4,761,000 for the first six months of 1996, an increase of $348,000 or 6.9% compared with noninterest expense of $4,413,000 for the first six months of 1995. The growth of UnionBank/Streator resulted in additional personnel, occupancy and office expenses, due primarily to the opening of new banking facilities in each of Plano and Peru, Illinois, in May and October, 1995, respectively. Noninterest expense was $8,771,000 for 1995, an increase of $524,000 or 6.4% compared with noninterest expense of $8,247,000 for 1994, which represented an increase of $406,000 or 5.2% compared with noninterest expense of $7,841,000 for 1993. The increase in noninterest expense for 1995 from 1994 was attributable to a 15.1%, or $583,000, increase in salaries and employee benefits and a 10.1%, or $115,000, increase in occupancy and equipment expenses, due primarily to the opening of two banking facilities during 1995. Deposits held by the Union Banks are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and as FDIC-insured institutions, the Union Banks are required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The amount an institution pays for FDIC deposit insurance coverage is determined in accordance with a risk-based assessment system under which each insured depository institution is placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon its level of capital and the results of supervisory evaluations. The FDIC has issued refunds to the best-rated institutions for assessments which exceeded the recapitalization requirements of the BIF. The Union Banks received a total refund from the FDIC of approximately $148,000. In addition, recent changes in the deposit insurance assessment rate are expected to significantly reduce the cost of deposit insurance for the Union Banks. See "Regulation and Supervision - -- The Bank Subsidiaries -- Deposit Insurance". INCOME TAXES During 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The principal effect of SFAS No. 109 is to provide a tax benefit for cumulative book loss reserves in excess of tax reserves. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets may be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, the Company elected not to restate prior years and has determined that the cumulative effect of implementation was not significant. The Company and its subsidiaries filed a consolidated tax return for 1995. The Company has recorded income tax expense of $380,000 on income before taxes of $1,491,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an effective tax rate of 25.5%, as compared with income tax expense of $365,000 on income before taxes of $1,408,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an effective tax rate of 25.9%. The Company recorded income tax expense of $881,000, $703,000 and $747,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and effective tax rates were 27.2%, 21.3% and 23.3%, respectively, for such 33 35 periods. The Company's effective tax rate is lower than statutory rates because the Company derives a significant amount of interest income from municipal securities, which are exempt from federal tax. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT The operating income and net income of the Union Banks depend, to a substantial extent, on "rate differentials," i.e., the differences between the income the Union Banks receive from loans, securities and other earning assets, and the interest expense they pay to obtain deposits and other liabilities. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Union Banks, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. See "Investment Considerations -- Impact of Interest Rates and Economic Conditions." The objective of monitoring and managing the interest rate risk position of the balance sheet is to contribute to earnings and to minimize fluctuations in net interest income. The potential for earnings to be affected by changes in interest rates is inherent in a financial institution. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and changes in net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. An asset sensitive position in a given period will result in more assets being subject to repricing; therefore, as interest rates rise, such a position will have a positive effect on net interest income. Conversely, in a liability sensitive position, where liabilities reprice more quickly than assets in a given period, a rise in interest rates will have an adverse effect on net interest income. One method of analyzing interest rate risk is to evaluate the balance of the Company's interest rate sensitivity position. A mix of assets and liabilities that are roughly equal in volume, term and repricing represents a matched interest rate sensitivity position. Any excess of assets or liabilities in a particular period results in an interest rate sensitivity gap. The following table presents the interest rate sensitivity for the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 1996: INTEREST-RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) JUNE 30, 1996 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 MONTHS 3 MONTHS TO 6 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR TO OR LESS 6 MONTHS 1 YEAR 5 YEARS OVER 5 YRS.

In addition, 34 36 the Company also utilizes a dynamic gap asset-liability model that takes into account projected future balances or the difference between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities at specific future time periods. The cumulative dynamic rate-sensitive gap position at one year, projected as of June 30, 1997, was an asset sensitive position of $4.1 million or 1%. Accordingly, the Company believes it will not experience a significant impact in the short term from changes in interest rates. The Company undertakes this interest rate-sensitivity analysis to monitor the potential risk to future earnings from the impact of possible future changes in interest rates on currently existing net assets or net liability positions. However, this type of analysis is as of a point-in-time, when in fact the Company's interest rate sensitivity can quickly change as market conditions, customer needs and management strategies change. Thus, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Pursuant to its investment policy, the Company does not purchase derivative financial instruments, although the Company currently owns such instruments as a result of securities acquired in connection with the Acquisitions. The preceding table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income because the repricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competitive and other pressures. As of June 30, 1996, the Union Banks held approximately $5.6 million in mortgage-backed securities. Although the mortgage-backed securities have various stated maturities, it is not uncommon for mortgage-backed securities to prepay outstanding principal prior to stated maturities. As a result, assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within the same period may, in fact, reprice at different times and at different rate levels. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION LOANS AND ASSET QUALITY The Company's loans are diversified by borrower and industry group. Loan growth has occurred every year over the past five years and can be attributed to acquisitions, increased loan demand and the addition of new loan products. The following table describes the composition of loans by major categories outstanding at June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991.

Stated loan maturities (including variable rate loans reset to market interest rates) of the total loan portfolio, net of unearned income, as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were as follows: STATED LOAN MATURITIES(1) (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER 1 YEAR TO 5 YEARS 5 YEARS TOTAL ------- ---------- ------- -------- JUNE 30, 1996 Fixed rate....... $30,562 $45,861 $ 8,900 $ 85,323 Variable rate.... 20,362 24,804 54,329 99,495 Nonaccrual....... 267 617 138 1,022 ------- ------- ------- -------- Total............ $51,191 $71,282 $63,367 $185,840 ======= ======= ======= ======== DECEMBER 31, 1995 Fixed rate....... $30,630 $46,083 $ 7,505 $ 84,218 Variable rate.... 18,000 25,808 51,666 95,474 Nonaccrual....... 734 140 253 1,127 ------- ------- ------- -------- Total............ $49,364 $72,031 $59,424 $180,819 ======= ======= ======= ======== (1) Maturities based upon contractual maturity dates Rate sensitivities of the total loan portfolio, net of unearned income, as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were as follows: LOAN REPRICING (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER 1 YEAR TO 5 YEARS 5 YEARS TOTAL ------- ---------- ------- ------- JUNE 30, 1996 Total Portfolio.. $64,886 $31,734 $2,875 $99,495 DECEMBER 31, 1995 Total Portfolio.. $64,303 $28,763 $2,408 $95,474 The maturities presented above are based upon contractual maturities. Many of these loans are made on a short-term basis with the possibility of renewal at time of maturity. All loans, however, are reviewed on a continuous basis for creditworthiness. NONPERFORMING ASSETS The Company's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income on its loan portfolio, unless a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when there are serious doubts regarding the collectibility of all principal and interest due 36 38 under the terms of the loan. Amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied first to principal and then to interest after all principal has been collected. It is the policy of the Union Banks not to renegotiate the terms of a loan because of a delinquent status. Rather, a loan is generally transferred to nonaccrual status if it is not in the process of collection and is delinquent in payment of either principal or interest beyond 90 days. Loans which are 90 days delinquent but are well secured and in the process of collection are not included in nonperforming assets. Other nonperforming assets consist of real estate acquired through loan foreclosures or other workout situations and other assets acquired through repossessions. The following table summarizes nonperforming assets by category as of June 30, 1996, and as of December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991: NONPERFORMING ASSETS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, -------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 -------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Nonaccrual loans...................... $ 1,022 $1,127 $ 891 $1,671 $2,148 $3,712 Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest..................... 279 1,088 560 1,378 1,258 337 ------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total nonperforming loans............ 1,301 2,215 1,451 3,049 3,406 4,049 Other real estate owned............... 346 441 672 1,096 664 857 Other nonperforming assets(1)......... 240 240 240 240 -- -- ------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total nonperforming assets........... $ 1,887 $2,896 $2,363 $4,385 $4,070 $4,906 ======= ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Nonperforming loans to total loans.... 0.70% 1.22% 0.90% 2.06% 2.32% 3.07% Nonperforming assets to total loans... 1.02 1.60 1.47 2.96 2.77 3.71 Nonperforming assets to total assets.. 0.64 0.95 0.87 1.64 1.64 2.04 (1) Represents a single municipal security in default status. The classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily indicate that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in part. A determination as to collectibility is made by the Union Banks on a case-by-case basis. The Union Banks consider both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans. The final determination as to the steps taken is made based upon the specific facts of each situation. Alternatives that are typically considered to collect nonaccrual loans are foreclosure, collection under guarantees, loan restructuring or judicial collection actions. Each of the Company's loans is assigned a rating based upon an internally developed grading system. A separate credit administration department also reviews grade assignments on an ongoing basis. Management continuously monitors nonperforming, impaired and past due loans to prevent further deterioration of these loans. Management is not aware of any material loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention, that have been excluded from classification under nonperforming assets or impaired loans. Management further believes that credits classified as nonperforming assets or impaired loans include any material loans as to which any doubts exist as to their collectibility in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted guidelines for impaired loans required by SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." The adoption of SFAS 114 did not significantly impact the comparability of the allowance related tables of the Company included in this Prospectus. 37 39 The following table sets forth a summary of other real estate owned and other collateral acquired as of June 30, 1996: OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED JUNE 30, 1996 ------------------------- NUMBER OF NET BOOK DESCRIPTION PARCELS CARRYING VALUE - ----------------------- --------- -------------- Developed property.......... 1 $ 188,000 Vacant land or unsold lots.. 2 158,000 --------- -------------- Total real estate........... 3 $ 346,000 ========= ============== ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES In originating loans, the Company recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for such loan. The allowance for loan losses represents the Company's estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for losses incurred in the loan portfolio. In making this determination, the Company analyzes the ultimate collectibility of the loans in its portfolio, incorporating feedback provided by internal loan staff and provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies. The Company makes an ongoing evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. To establish the appropriate level of the allowance, all loans (including nonperforming loans), commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are reviewed and classified as to potential loss exposure. Specific allowances are then established for those loans, commitments to extend credit or standby letters of credit with identified loss exposure, and an additional allowance is maintained based upon the size, quality and concentration characteristics of the remaining loan portfolio using both historical quantitative trends and the Company's evaluation of qualitative factors including future economic and industry outlooks. The determination by the Company of the appropriate level of its allowance for loan losses was $1,597,000 at June 30, 1996. The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed monthly and as adjustments, either positive or negative, become necessary a corresponding increase or decrease is made in the provision for loan losses. The following table presents a detailed analysis of the Company's allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991. 38 40 ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) SIX MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, ---------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 -------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Beginning balance............................... $ 2,014 $ 1,704 $ 1,787 $ 1,586 $ 1,384 $ 886 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Charge-offs: Commercial and industrial loans................. 726 114 413 577 381 278 Real estate mortgages........................... 70 173 371 445 613 54 Installment and other loans..................... 142 250 240 257 307 202 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total charge-offs............................... 938 537 1,024 1,279 1,301 534 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Recoveries: Commercial and industrial loans................. 5 70 142 144 95 21 Real estate mortgages........................... -- 56 83 2 39 62 Installment and other loans..................... 16 37 56 66 72 56 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total recoveries................................ 21 163 281 212 206 139 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net charge-offs................................. 917 374 743 1,067 1,095 395 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Provision for loan losses....................... 500 684 660 1,268 1,297 650 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Allowance associated with the acquisition of Ottawa National Bank............ -- -- -- -- -- 243 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Ending balance.................................. $ 1,597 $ 2,014 $ 1,704 $ 1,787 $ 1,586 $ 1,384 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Period end total loans, net of unearned interest....................................... $185,840 $180,819 $161,134 $148,371 $146,569 $131,915 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Average loans................................... $184,242 $173,004 $152,186 $150,455 $140,945 $116,577 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Ratio of net charge-offs to average loans....... 1.00% 0.22% 0.49% 0.71% 0.78% 0.34% Ratio of provision for loan losses to average loans.................................. 0.54 0.40 0.43 0.84 0.92 0.56 Ratio of allowance for loan losses to ending total loans............................. 0.86 1.11 1.06 1.20 1.08 1.05 Ratio of allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans...................... 122.75 90.93 117.44 58.61 46.56 34.18 Ratio of allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming assets..................... 84.63 69.54 72.11 40.75 38.97 28.21 Ratio of allowance at end of period to average loans.................................. 0.87 1.16 1.12 1.19 1.13 1.19 The following table sets forth an allocation of the allowance for loan losses among categories as of June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991. The Company believes that any allocation of the allowance for loan losses into categories lends an appearance of precision which does not exist. The allowance is utilized as a single unallocated allowance available for all loans. The following allocation table should not be interpreted as an indication of the specific amounts or the relative proportion of future charges to the allowance. 39 41 ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 ---------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- ---------------- LOAN LOAN LOAN LOAN LOAN LOAN CATEGORY CATEGORY CATEGORY CATEGORY CATEGORY CATEGORY TO GROSS TO GROSS TO GROSS TO GROSS TO GROSS TO GROSS AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS AMOUNT LOANS ------ -------- ------ ------- ------ ------- ------ -------- ------ ------- ------ -------- Commercial and industrial loans. $ 358 28.75% $ 800 29.43% $ 327 31.89% $ 336 35.03% $ 320 35.22% $ 293 35.20% Real estate........... 374 56.52 388 55.59 325 53.74 288 50.97 239 49.43 104 49.13 Installment and other loans................ 233 13.33 235 13.36 194 12.63 173 12.24 191 13.83 154 14.18 Unallocated........... 632 1.40 591 1.62 858 1.74 990 1.76 836 1.53 833 1.49 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total................. $1,597 100.00% $2,014 100.00% $1,704 100.00% $1,787 100.00% $1,586 100.00% $1,384 100.00% ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES The Company's investment portfolio, which represented 32.2% of the Company's earning asset base as of June 30, 1996, is managed to minimize interest rate risk, maintain sufficient liquidity and maximize return. Investment securities which are classified as held-to-maturity are purchased with the intent and ability of the Company to hold them to maturity. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at historical cost. The Company's financial planning anticipates income streams based on normal maturity and reinvestment. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are purchased with the intent to provide liquidity and to increase returns. The securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. The Company does not have any securities classified as trading. Securities held-to-maturity, carried at amortized cost, were $28,926,000 at June 30, 1996, compared to $29,026,000 at December 31, 1995, and $28,667,000 at December 31, 1994. The change in the unrealized position was due to interest rate movements during the periods. There was an unrealized loss on securities held-to-maturity of $184,000 at June 30, 1996, compared with an unrealized gain of $160,000 at December 31, 1995 and an unrealized loss of $1,500,000 at December 31, 1994. Securities available-for-sale, carried at fair value, were $58,003,000 at June 30, 1996, compared with $63,891,000 at December 31, 1995, and $56,593,000 at December 31, 1994.

DEPOSIT ACTIVITIES Deposits are attracted through the offering of a broad variety of deposit instruments, including checking accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, term certificate accounts (including "jumbo" certificates in denominations of $100,000 or more), and retirement savings plans. The Company's average balance of total deposits was $256,825,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, representing an increase of $11,754,000 or 4.8% compared with the average balance of total deposits for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Company's average balance of total deposits was $245,071,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995, an increase of $11,860,000 or 5.06% compared with the average balance of total deposits outstanding for 1994 of $233,211,000, which represented an increase of $6,385,000 or 2.8% compared with the average balance of total deposits outstanding for 1993 of $226,826,000. The increases in deposits were due to internally generated growth. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Union Banks' average deposits as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. 42 44 AVERAGE DEPOSITS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED ---------------------------------- JUNE 30, 1996 1995 ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- AVERAGE PERCENT OF AVERAGE RATE AVERAGE PERCENT OF AVERAGE RATE AMOUNT TOTAL PAID AMOUNT TOTAL PAID ------- --------- ------------ ------- ---------- ------------ Noninterest-bearing demand deposits........ $ 32,380 12.61% --% $ 29,950 12.22% --% Savings accounts........ 24,029 9.36 2.62 23,146 9.45 2.64 Interest-bearing demand deposits............... 52,912 20.60 2.84 50,788 20.72 2.81 Time, less than $100,000 133,488 51.98 5.91 129,147 52.70 5.84 Time, $100,000 or more.. 14,016 5.45 5.84 12,040 4.91 5.71 -------- ------ ---- -------- ------ ---- Total deposits......... $256,825 100.00% 4.24% $245,071 100.00% 4.19% ======== ====== ==== ======== ====== ==== FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1994 1993 ---------------------------------- --------------------------------- AVERAGE PERCENT OF AVERAGE RATE AVERAGE PERCENT OF AVERAGE RATE AMOUNT TOTAL PAID AMOUNT TOTAL PAID ------- --------- ------------- ------- ---------- ------------ Noninterest-bearing demand deposits........ $ 29,622 12.70% --% $ 26,026 11.47% --% Savings accounts........ 26,288 11.27 2.75 26,103 11.51 3.09 Interest-bearing demand deposits............... 49,295 21.14 2.47 49,348 21.76 2.59 Time, less than $100,000 112,094 48.07 4.82 108,159 47.68 5.07 Time, $100,000 or more.. 15,912 6.82 4.74 17,190 7.58 4.83 -------- ------ ---- -------- ------ ---- Total deposits......... $233,211 100.00% 3.47% $226,826 100.00% 3.70% ======== ====== ==== ======== ====== ==== 43 45 As of June 30, 1996, non-brokered time deposits over $100,000 represented 9.7% of total deposits, compared with 9.0% of total deposits as of December 31, 1995, and 9.4% as of December 31, 1994.

RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS FOR THE SIX MONTHS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ENDED ------------------------------------- JUNE 30, 1996 1995 1994 1993 ------------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Return on average assets... 0.75% 0.83% 0.98% 0.97% Return on average equity... 9.49 10.83 13.29 13.88 Average equity to average assets............ 7.95 7.67 7.38 6.98 Dividend payout rates...... 12.77 12.06 9.57 7.78 LIQUIDITY The Union Banks' investment securities portfolios, including federal funds sold, and its cash and due from bank deposit balances serve as the primary sources of liquidity for the Company. At June 30, 1996, 10.6% of the Union Banks' interest-bearing liabilities were in the form of time deposits of $100,000 and over. Substantially all of such large deposits were obtained from the Union Banks' market areas and none of such deposits are brokered deposits. Management believes these deposits to be a stable source of funds. However, if a large number of these time deposits matured at approximately the same time and were not renewed, the Union Banks' liquidity could be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities of the Union Banks' large time deposits are spread throughout the year, with 24.7% maturing in the third quarter of 1996, 21.4% maturing in the fourth quarter of 1996, 26.3% maturing in the first and second quarter of 1997, and the remaining 27.6% maturing thereafter. The Union Banks monitor those maturities in an effort to minimize any adverse effect on liquidity. In the longer term, the liquidity of the Company and its ability to meet its cash obligations will depend substantially upon its receipt of dividends from the Union Banks, which are limited by banking statutes and regulation. See "Regulation and Supervision -- The Bank Subsidiaries -- Dividends." 44 46 CAPITAL RESOURCES The Union Banks are expected to meet a minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%, of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in the form of Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%) may be in the form of Tier 1 (core) or Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. The amount of loan loss allowance that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The ratio of Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for the Union Banks were 11.74% and 12.54%, respectively, at June 30, 1996, and 11.34% and 12.35%, respectively, at December 31, 1995. The Union Banks are currently, and expect to continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines. See "Regulation and Supervision -- Capital Adequacy Guidelines." The Board of Governors of the FRB has announced a policy known as the "source of strength doctrine" that requires a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength for its subsidiary banks. The FRB has interpreted this requirement to require that a bank holding company, such as the Company, stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. The FRB has stated that it would generally view a failure to assist a troubled or failing subsidiary bank in these circumstances as an unsound or unsafe banking practice or a violation of the FRB's Regulation Y or both, justifying a cease and desist order or other enforcement action, particularly if appropriate resources are available to the bank holding company on a reasonable basis. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's capital ratios: RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, MINIMUM WELL- -------- --------------------------- CAPITAL CAPITALIZED 1996 1995 1994 1993 RATIOS RATIOS -------- ------- ------- ------- -------- --------- Tier 1 risk-based capital.. $ 23,617 $ 22,530 $ 20,322 $ 17,801 Tier 2 risk-based capital.. 1,597 2,014 1,704 1,787 Total capital.............. 25,214 24,544 22,026 19,588 Risk-weighted assets....... 201,133 198,731 179,307 178,613 Capital ratios: Tier 1 risk-based capital.. 11.74% 11.34% 11.33% 9.97% 4.00% 6.00% Tier 2 risk-based capital.. 12.54 12.35 12.28 10.97 8.00 10.00 Leverage Ratio............. 7.92 7.95 7.68 7.00 3.00 5.00 ACCOUNTING MATTERS In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors of Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures." Together, these standards require that when a loan is impaired, a creditor must measure impairment based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent or the loan's observable market price. A loan is considered impaired when based upon current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These standards also require certain disclosures regarding impaired loans. The Company adopted these standards effective January 1, 1995. The adoption of these accounting standards did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations because the Company's recognition and measurement policies regarding nonperforming loans were materially consistent with these accounting standards. In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Measurement of an impairment loss for such long- lived assets and identifiable intangibles is to be based upon the fair value of the asset. This Statement is 45 47 effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The FASB has issued SFAS No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" which became effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities" to require that an entity recognize as separate assets the rights to service mortgage loans for others, however those rights are acquired. An entity that acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained should allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without mortgage servicing rights) based upon their relative fair values. If it is not practicable to estimate the fair values separately, the entire cost of purchasing or originating the loans should be allocated to the mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) and no cost should be allocated to the mortgage servicing rights. This Statement also requires that an entity assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based upon the fair value of those rights. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This Statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities electing to continue to use the method of accounting specified in Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and, if presented, earnings per share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. IMPACT OF INFLATION, CHANGING PRICES AND MONETARY POLICIES The financial statements and related financial data concerning the Company presented in this Prospectus have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and federal agencies, particularly the FRB. See "Investment Considerations -- Impact of Interest Rates and Economic Conditions." BUSINESS THE COMPANY The Company is a multi-bank holding company with its corporate headquarters located in Ottawa, Illinois, which is approximately 85 miles southwest of Chicago. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had consolidated assets of approximately $296.6 million. The Company will have 27 banking locations with consolidated assets of approximately $625.8 million following consummation of the Acquisitions, which have been or will be completed prior to the closing of this Offering. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1981. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 122 West Madison Street, Ottawa, Illinois 61350, and its telephone number is (815) 434-3900. THE SUBSIDIARIES Prior to the Acquisitions, the Company operated through its two wholly-owned subsidiary banks, UnionBank/Streator, which has its main office located in Streator, Illinois, and UnionBank/Sandwich, which has 46 48 its main office located in Sandwich, Illinois. UnionBank/Streator has nine locations in the Illinois communities of Ottawa, Streator, Triumph and Peru, while UnionBank/Sandwich has two locations, one each in Sandwich and Plano, Illinois. Management of the Company believes that the new branches in Plano and Peru, Illinois, offer excellent opportunities for the Company to expand its retail and commercial customer base. The Company's marketing focus at the two new branches has been to promote mortgages and home equity lines of credit with additional emphasis being placed on cross selling to customers the full line of the Company's other financial products and services. In addition, employees at both of these branches have adopted a proactive business development strategy which, when coupled with the Company's commercial loan, deposit and other services, offer opportunities to develop long term relationships with existing and new commercial customers. At June 30, 1996, the Plano and Peru branches had grown to approximately $2,731,000 and $1,973,000 of total assets, respectively. The Union Banks' full-service banking business includes customary consumer and commercial products and services, including the following: demand, savings, time deposit, individual retirement and Keogh accounts; commercial, industrial, consumer and real estate lending; safe deposit operations; trust services; and an extensive variety of additional services tailored to meet the needs of individual customers, such as the acquisition of U.S. Treasury notes and bonds, the sale of traveler's checks, money orders, cashier's checks and foreign currency, direct deposit, discount brokerage and other special services. Commercial and consumer loans are made to corporations, partnerships and individuals, primarily on a secured basis. Commercial lending focuses on business, capital, construction, inventory and real estate. Direct and indirect installment loans are made to consumers and commercial customers and mortgage loans are originated and serviced. In connection with the Prairie Acquisition, the Company acquired six additional bank subsidiaries with a total of ten banking offices located in portions of north central, northwestern and western Illinois. The Country Acquisition will result in the addition of another six new banking offices in western Illinois. The Company also has three non-bank subsidiaries: UnionData which provides data processing services to the Union Banks and third parties; Union Corporation ("Union Corporation"), which primarily serves as an owner and lessor of banking offices to the Union Banks; and LaSalle Collections, a recently acquired collection agency which serves the greater LaSalle County area. MARKET AREA Prior to the Acquisitions, the Company served the banking needs of LaSalle and contiguous counties located in north central Illinois (LaSalle and portions of Livingston, Grundy, Bureau, Kendall, DeKalb and Kane Counties) through the Union Banks. The Company has an 11% share of aggregate deposits in its primary market of LaSalle County, based upon deposit data as of June 30, 1995. The Company also has more outstanding loans in LaSalle County than any other financial institution in this area. The Company has recently expanded its lending and deposit gathering activities from north central Illinois into certain of the counties surrounding the Chicago metropolitan area, including Kane and Kendall Counties. The Company's banking market in north central Illinois is primarily agricultural, although in the past few years there have been a number of new businesses and manufacturing facilities that have moved to the area and commenced operations. Moreover, agricultural lending has played a much smaller role within the areas located closer to the metropolitan Chicago area. In response to these changes, the Company has increased its consumer, commercial and real estate lending in these areas. The Acquisitions increase the Company's market share within north central Illinois (primarily in LaSalle and Bureau Counties) and expand the Company's presence into northwestern Illinois (Jo Daviess and Whiteside Counties) and western and southwestern Illinois (Hancock, McDonough, Adams and Pike Counties). The resulting market area of the Company will extend from the western suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across central and northern Illinois to the Mississippi River and the western border of Illinois. 47 49 ACQUISITION AND EXPANSION STRATEGY The Company seeks to diversify both its market area and asset base while increasing profitability through acquisitions and expansion. One of the Company's primary goals is to expand through the acquisition of established financial service organizations, primarily commercial banks or thrifts, to the extent suitable candidates can be identified and acceptable business terms negotiated. Over the past several years, the Company has built an experienced management team and a sales-driven employee work force that is implementing a business plan that contemplates a significant expansion of the Company's market areas and substantial growth in its asset size. Consistent with the Company's plan, the Company acquired Prairie and has entered into an agreement to acquire Country. The Acquisitions will increase the total assets of the Company from approximately $296.6 million to $633.3 million, an increase of 114%. The Acquisitions are expected to increase the presence of the Company within the region's banking community. Because of the business reputations of the Company and its executive officers in the banking industry, the Company believes that it represents a very attractive acquiror to the owners of other community banks and thrifts who decide to sell their institutions. The Company believes that it can successfully manage these community-based institutions to increase their profitability by expanding cross-selling efforts and placing a greater emphasis on those products and services offering the highest return on investment. The Company's current acquisition strategy is focused on traditional community banks or thrifts located within its expanded market area as a result of the Acquisitions. A large number of such financial institutions are located within this geographic area. It is possible that, as a result of consolidation within the banking industry generally, the Company may in the future also look beyond these geographic areas for acquisition opportunities. In addition to price and terms, other factors considered by the Company in determining the desirability of an acquisition candidate include the financial condition, earnings potential, quality of management, market area and competitive environment. The Company will also consider establishing branches, loan production offices or other business facilities as a means of expanding its presence in current or new market areas. In addition, the Company may expand into other lines of business closely related to banking if it believes these lines could be profitable without undue risk to the Company. The Company is not, however, actively involved in any negotiations or discussions regarding any such acquisitions, the opening of any new branches or entering into any new lines of business at this time. There can be no assurance that any further acquisitions will be made or that any branches or other offices will be established. OPERATING STRATEGY Corporate policy, strategy and goals are established by the Board of Directors of the Company. Operational and administrative policies for the Union Banks are also established by the Company. Within this framework, the Union Banks focus on providing personalized services and quality products to their customers to meet the needs of the communities in which they operate. Recognizing the substantial changes and growth opportunities in its market area, beginning in 1993, the Company redirected its existing resources and personnel to create an aggressive sales environment within the organization. In addition to promotions from within the organization, the Company hired experienced senior bank executives who were familiar with its market area, with an emphasis on the commercial lending area. The Company's senior management group has been carefully built after taking into account each individual's specific abilities and expertise. The Company believes that the combination of these talents in one organization provides an encouraging outlook for the Company's future continued growth. Each of the Union Banks operates as a traditional community bank with conveniently located facilities and a professional, highly motivated staff that focuses on long-term relationships with customers and providing them with individualized quality service. As part of its community banking approach, the Company encourages officers of the Union Banks to actively participate in community organizations. In addition, within credit and rate of return parameters, the Company attempts to ensure that each of the Union Banks meets the credit needs of its respective communities and invests in local municipal securities. The Company attempts to attract and retain customers by building relationships as opposed to focusing solely on specific transactions. The Company continually monitors 48 50 its own performance and levels of customer satisfaction through one-on-one conversations, customer surveys and focus groups. The Company uses a variety of marketing strategies to attract and retain customers, the most important of which is its officer/director call program. Officers and directors of the Union Banks regularly call on customers and potential customers to maintain and develop deposit and other special service relationships, including payroll, discount brokerage, cash management, lock box and trust services. The importance of this program is highlighted by the fact that the completion by directors of customer calls can be a significant factor in the award of director stock options. The Company has invested substantial time, effort and expense in training its employees to deliver value to customers by explaining to them how the Company's products and services can meet the customer's financial needs. This has led to significant gains in cross-selling the Company's products and services to its existing customer base. The Company is also evaluating its employee compensation structure so that the best performing employees can be compensated commensurate with their contributions to the organization. These efforts serve to emphasize the Company's shift to a sales culture, with skills, compensation and environment all supporting that culture. The Company conducts all of its own data processing for the Union Banks through its wholly-owned subsidiary, UnionData. The Company believes that retaining control of its data processing in conjunction with implementing its acquisition strategy will lead to decreased marginal operating costs, more effective service to its customers and increased efficiencies. To provide a high level of customer service and to manage effectively its growth, acquisition and operating strategies, the Company also focuses on continued improvement of its internal operating systems. UnionData continuously evaluates technological innovation that can be used to improve customer service levels, increase sales effectiveness and enhance staff productivity. The Company's automated platform system installed in 1995 increases operating efficiencies which allow customer service representatives to more easily cross-sell additional products to customers. The Company's UB-24 automated teller machines (ATMs) have helped the Company expand its market area, enhance customer service and utilize staff more effectively. The Company is also currently upgrading all of its current banking locations with new teller terminals to further support the Company's commitment to quality service and increased efficiencies. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES GENERAL The Union Banks provide a range of commercial and retail lending services to corporations, partnerships and individuals, including, but not limited to, commercial business loans, commercial and residential real estate construction and mortgage loans, loan participations, consumer loans, revolving lines of credit and letters of credit. The Union Banks make direct and indirect installment loans to consumers and commercial customers, and originate and service residential mortgages and handle the secondary marketing of those mortgages. The Union Banks aggressively market their services to qualified lending customers in both the commercial and consumer sectors. The Union Banks' commercial lending officers actively solicit the business of new companies entering their respective markets as well as long-standing members of these communities. Through personalized, professional service and competitive pricing, the Union Banks have been successful in attracting new commercial lending customers. At the same time, the Union Banks actively advertise their consumer loan products and continually attempt to make their lending officers more accessible. Through convenient locations and regular advertising, the Union Banks have been successful in capitalizing on the moderate growth in loan demand in its market area, particularly with respect to residential mortgages, home equity loans and installment loans. COMMERCIAL, REAL ESTATE AND AGRICULTURAL LOANS The Union Banks aggressively seek new commercial, real estate and agricultural loans in their respective market areas and much of the increase in these loans in recent years can be attributed to the successful solicitation of new business. The Union Banks' areas of emphasis include, but are not limited to, loans to wholesalers, manufacturers, building contractors, agri-businesses, farmers, developers, business services companies and retailers. The Union Banks provide a wide range of commercial business loans, including lines of credit for working capital 49 51 purposes and term loans for the acquisition of equipment and other purposes. Collateral for these loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis when warranted by the overall financial condition of the borrower. Terms of commercial business loans generally range from one to five years. The majority of the Union Banks' commercial business loans either have floating interest rates or reprice within one year. The primary repayment risk for commercial loans is the failure of the business due to economic or financial factors. In most cases, the Union Banks have collateralized these loans and/or taken personal guarantees to help assure repayment. The Company has also generated loans which are guaranteed by the SBA. Management believes that making such loans helps the local communities in which the Union Banks operate by adding jobs and increasing the tax base, and also provides the Company with a source of income and solid future lending relationships as SBA-backed businesses grow and prosper. During 1995, UnionBank/Streator made 37 SBA loans totalling approximately $4.0 million. The Company intends to expand the number of these loans in the future. Agricultural loans, many of which are secured by crops, machinery and real estate, are made to finance capital improvements and farm operations as well as acquisitions of livestock and machinery. These loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. The Company's consolidated loan portfolio includes a concentration of loans to agricultural and agricultural-related industries. These loans totalled approximately $12.7 million, or 6.8% of total loans, as of June 30, 1996. Credit losses arising from lending transactions with agricultural entities are similar to the Union Banks' credit loss experience on their loan portfolios as a whole. The Union Banks' agricultural lending officers attempt to work closely with their agricultural customers, including companies and individual farmers, and to assist them in the preparation of budgets and cash flow projections for the ensuing crop year. These budgets and cash flow projections are monitored closely during the year and reviewed with customers on a regular basis. During recent years, the Company has undertaken several initiatives to improve asset quality. The Company's Board of Directors reviews, on a monthly basis, a report of all criticized assets and requests for new loans over $10,000. Requests for new loans over $500,000 are approved by a directors' loan committee. Loan review personnel and commercial lenders interact each month with the Boards of Directors of the Union Banks. Management has attempted to identify problem loans at an early stage and to aggressively seek a resolution of these situations. Management believes that this policy has contributed to the Company's below average level of problem loans compared to its industry peer group. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Nonperforming Loans and Assets." CONSUMER LENDING The Union Banks provide a wide variety of consumer loans including motor vehicle, home improvement, home equity, student loans, signature loans and small personal credit lines. One of the areas of concentration is direct and indirect automobile financing in the Company's market area. The Union Banks have been able to compete effectively in this market segment by providing quick turn-around service to local automobile dealers. Due to the expanded growth and development along the Illinois and Fox Rivers, the Union Banks have also recently begun to work with area boat dealerships on financing arrangements. The Union Banks have been operating as a principal in the MasterCard and Visa credit card programs since 1988. The Union Banks' primary strategy in this area has been to solicit credit card business from its existing customer base. The Company's credit card division has aggressively sought to acquire merchant processing business as well as credit card receivables. The Company currently has outstanding over 3,700 cards and is processing card receipts for 340 merchants. The Company inaugurated a debit card program in 1994, and was the first organization in its general market area to introduce this service to its customers. While acceptance of debit cards in the market has developed slowly, card usage has been steadily increasing. Management believes that the use of credit and debit cards will provide opportunities for growth and leadership in its new markets. 50 52 MORTGAGE BANKING The Company's mortgage portfolio is currently in excess of $70,000,000 with over 1,400 customers. The Company utilizes Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and Federal National Mortgage Association programs and several other government and private sources to satisfy its customers' residential lending needs. In 1995, the real estate division computerized all of its operations, allowing outside sales representatives to complete applications from the customer's home or office. This technological innovation has allowed the Company's three outside sales representatives to cover a wider market area in seeking new real estate lending business. The Company believes that its mortgage product is a core piece of its overall customer relationship. To solidify this relationship, the Company uses state of the art mortgage servicing software to be directly responsive to the many needs of its customer base. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND TRUST SERVICES The Company's Investment Management and Trust Division, which is operated through UnionBank/Streator, increased its assets under management during 1995 by over 50% to a total of $55.7 million. Because of the importance of this growing segment of its business, the Company has embarked on a strategic initiative to better position itself to deliver quality financial services to its customers. To emphasize its commitment, the Company recently added "Investment Management" to the name of its Trust Department. Management believes that the new name more accurately reflects the services desired by and offered to the Company's customer base and the future direction of the Company's trust and fiduciary activities. The Company has enhanced its ability to serve its trust customers by upgrading to a state of the art trust accounting system. The Investment Management and Trust Services Department can provide on-line, real time information regarding its customers' accounts. All of this Division's employees have a personal computer available at their work areas through which customer account information is immediately accessible. The Company also maintains over 90% (all that are depository eligible) of its assets with a third party custodian. The Company has found that such custodial functions can be more economically and efficiently handled by an outside provider. Management believes that this allows the Company to devote more time to providing personalized service to its customers. Management's focus in the trust area is to build financial relationships within the community bank environment. The Company expects that the future needs of its customers may fall within broadly defined areas such as investment, tax planning, estate management, retirement/financial planning, fiduciary responsibilities and farm management. The Company intends to position the Investment Management and Trust Services Department to meet these future needs and to continue to expand this line of business. DATA PROCESSING AND DATA MANAGEMENT Cash management services provided by the Company continue to enhance the value of relationships with corporate customer accounts. The Company's corporate cash management services allow business customers to use office computers to gain immediate access to their accounts and to monitor their finances in an efficient and convenient manner. UnionData is also aggressively marketing a new automated payment option called Direct Payment which is an efficient, electronic payment alternative to paper checks. With Direct Payment, a customer authorizes a company to electronically collect a preauthorized amount from the customer's checking account to pay a bill or make a donation. UnionData has also marketed a direct deposit program as a convenient and safe way to receive social security, salary and dividend payments and other similar income items. The Company believes that UnionData is a leader in operating products technology within its market area. In 1995, UnionData was awarded a contract with the LaSalle County Circuit Clerk to electronically process child support payments. Utilizing this technology has reduced the Circuit Clerk's operating costs while providing a new revenue source for UnionData. COMPETITION The Company's market area is highly competitive. Within the three Illinois counties served by the Company's banking offices prior to the Acquisitions, 34 other commercial banks, 8 savings and loan associations 51 53 and 25 credit unions currently operate offices. In addition, many other financial institutions based in surrounding communities and in Chicago, Illinois, actively compete for customers within the Company's market area. The Company also faces competition from finance companies, insurance companies, mortgage companies, securities brokerage firms, money market funds, loan production offices and other providers of financial services. See "Investment Considerations -- Competition." The Company competes for loans principally through the range and quality of the services it provides and through competitive interest rates and loan fees. The Company believes that its long-standing presence in the communities its serves and personal service philosophy enhance its ability to compete favorably in attracting and retaining individual and business customers. The Company actively solicits deposit-related customers and competes for deposits by offering customers personal attention, professional service and competitive interest rates. EMPLOYEES At June 30, 1996, the Company employed 160 full-time equivalent employees. The Company places high priority on staff development which involves extensive training, including customer service training. New employees are selected on the basis of both technical skills and customer service capabilities. None of the Company's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the Company. The Company offers a variety of employee benefits and management considers its employee relations to be excellent. PROPERTIES At June 30, 1996, the Company operated eleven banking offices in the Illinois cities of Ottawa, Streator, Sandwich, Triumph, Peru and Plano. The principal offices of the Company, UnionBank/Streator and UnionBank/Sandwich are located in Ottawa, Streator and Sandwich, Illinois, respectively. All of the Company's offices are owned by one of the Union Banks or by Union Corporation, and are not subject to any mortgage or material encumbrance. The Company believes that its current facilities are adequate for its existing business. As a result of the Acquisitions, the Company will increase the number of its banking offices to a total of 27. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries, including the Bank Subsidiaries, are involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the normal course of business, which, in the opinion of management, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company's consolidated financial condition. 52 54 MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth certain information concerning the Company's directors and executive officers.

STOCK OPTION PLAN INTRODUCTION The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a stock incentive plan known as the UnionBancorp, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). The Stock Option Plan is intended to promote equity ownership of the Company by directors of the Company and selected officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, to increase their proprietary interest in the success of the Company and to encourage them to remain in the employ of the Company. The Stock Option Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders on April 12, 1993, and an amendment to the Stock Option Plan was approved on July 19, 1996. 57 59 ADMINISTRATION The Stock Option Plan is administered by the UnionBancorp, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan Administrative Committee which is comprised of at least two non-employee directors appointed by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Stock Option Committee"). The Stock Option Committee has the authority, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, to select the employees to whom awards may be granted, to determine the terms of each award and, subject to approval of the Company's Board of Directors, to interpret the provisions of the Stock Option Plan and to make all other determinations that it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan is intended to be administered so as to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of "incentive stock options," as defined under Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, options that do not so qualify (referred to as "nonstatutory options") and stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), as determined in each individual case by the Stock Option Committee. The Board of Directors has reserved 600,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. In general, if any award (including an award granted to a non-employee director) granted under the Stock Option Plan expires, terminates, is forfeited or is cancelled for any reason, the shares of Common Stock allocable to such award may again be made subject to an award granted under the Stock Option Plan. AWARDS Directors and key policy-making employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive grants under the Stock Option Plan. Directors may be granted nonstatutory options and employees may be granted incentive and nonstatutory options. Awards may be granted subject to a vesting requirement and in any event will become fully vested upon a merger or change of control of the Company. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan must at least equal the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted. The exercise price of nonstatutory options and SARs are determined by the Stock Option Committee. The Stock Option Plan provides for an annual formula grant for each director. The formula used to determine the exact grant to be made to each director is based upon a series of factors that may be weighted differently each year depending upon the issues then facing the Company, but in no event will the formula grant exceed 3,000 shares per year. The Stock Option Plan provides that option grants to directors will have an exercise price of 75% of the then current market price of Common Stock on the date of the grant. An incentive stock option granted under the Stock Option Plan to an employee owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company is subject to the further restriction that such option must have an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the option (determined as of the date the option is granted) and may not have an exercise term of more than five years. Incentive stock options are also subject to the further restriction that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of Common Stock as to which any such incentive stock option first becomes exercisable in any calendar year is limited to $100,000. To the extent options covering more than $100,000 worth of Common Stock become exercisable in any one calendar year, the excess will be nonstatutory options. For purposes of determining which, if any, options have been granted in excess of the $100,000 limit, options will be considered to become exercisable in the order granted. Each director and key employee eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan is notified by the Stock Option Committee. To receive an award under the Stock Option Plan, an award agreement must be executed which specifies the type of award to be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock (if any) to which the award relates, the terms and conditions of the award and the date granted. In the case of an award of options, the award agreement also specifies the price at which the shares of Common Stock subject to the option may be purchased, the date(s) on which the option becomes exercisable and whether the option is an incentive stock option or a nonstatutory option. The full exercise price for all shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of options granted under the Stock Option Plan must be paid in any one or a combination of cash, personal check, personal note, award surrender or Common Stock owned at the time of exercise. Incentive stock options granted to employees under the Stock Option Plan may remain outstanding and exercisable for ten years from the date of grant or until the expiration of three months (or such greater period, up to one year, as the Stock Option Committee may determine 58 60 if employment is terminated due to disability) from the date on which the person to whom they were granted ceases to be employed by the Company. Nonstatutory options and SARs granted under the Stock Option Plan remain outstanding and exercisable for such period as the Stock Option Committee may determine. Awards of options to purchase an aggregate of 109,650 shares of Common Stock have been made by the Stock Option Committee pursuant to the Stock Option Plan as of this date of this Prospectus. INCOME TAX No taxable income is recognized by the option holder for income tax purposes at the time of the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option, nor is there any income tax deduction available to the Company as a result of such a grant or exercise. Any gain or loss recognized by an option holder on the later disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option generally will be treated as capital gain or loss if such disposition does not occur prior to one year after the date of exercise of the option, or two years after the date the option was granted. As in the case of incentive stock options, the grant of nonstatutory stock options or SARs will not result in taxable income for income tax purposes to the recipient of the awards, nor will the Company be entitled to an income tax deduction. Upon the exercise of nonstatutory stock options or SARs, the award holder will generally recognize ordinary income for income tax purposes equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock acquired or deemed acquired on the date of exercise, and the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction in the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the option holder. In general, any gain or loss realized by the option holder on the subsequent disposition of such shares will be a capital gain or loss. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION The Stock Option Plan expires ten years after its adoption, unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has authority to amend the Stock Option Plan in such manner as it deems advisable, except that the Board of Directors is not permitted without stockholder approval to amend the plan in a manner which would prevent the grant of incentive stock options or increase the number of shares of Common Stock available. The Stock Option Plan provides for appropriate adjustment, as determined by the Stock Option Committee, in the number and kind of shares and the number, kind and per share exercise price of shares subject to unexercised options, in the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization, merger or similar event. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into three-year employment agreements with Messrs. Grigsby, Bismark, Grako and Solon, and two-year agreements with Messrs. Daw and Lansford. Unless earlier terminated by the Company (or the subsidiary, if applicable) or the respective employee, the employment term under each agreement extends for an additional year on each anniversary of the agreement. Each agreement specifies a minimum annual salary for the initial year of the agreement and provides for an automatic minimum four percent annual increase for each subsequent year. Each agreement also provides that the respective employee is entitled to participate in any executive bonus plan and other incentive compensation or benefit plan established by the Company or the applicable subsidiary. Each agreement is terminable by the employee upon thirty days' prior written notice and automatically terminates upon the death or disability of the employee. The Company may terminate each agreement at any time for "cause" without incurring any additional obligations. Each agreement provides severance benefits in the event the employee is terminated without cause or "constructively discharged," as defined in each agreement. The severance benefits are equal to the salary and benefits the terminated employee would have received through the end of the normal term of the agreement. If any of the employment agreements is terminated in connection with a "change in control," as defined in each agreement, the employee is entitled to receive severance compensation equal to three times his annual salary and other compensation at the rates then in effect at the time of termination. The terminated employee in such case will also be entitled to continuation of participation in other benefit plans for the remaining term of his agreement. If a change of control had occurred on June 30, 1996, based upon 1996 salary 59 61 and 1995 bonus information, the amount payable with respect to salary and bonus would have been approximately as follows: Mr. Grigsby, $485,700; Mr. Bismark, $320,700; Mr. Grako, $320,703; Mr. Daw, $144,000; Mr. Lansford, $240,000; and Mr. Solon, $260,000. In addition, each officer would be entitled to receive other benefits for such periods. The employment agreements also require the Company to provide each employee with indemnification insurance and indemnification for any expenses arising out of each person's employment with the Company or the applicable subsidiary. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK The following table sets forth information as of August 7, 1996, concerning the Common Stock beneficially owned by: (i) each person expected by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock following this Offering; (ii) each of the Company's current and proposed directors, and those executive officers of the Company named in the Summary Compensation Table; and (iii) all such directors, proposed directors and executive officers of the Company as a group.

The number of shares and percentages owned as discussed above include certain shares owned by spouses, children, as custodian or trustee, and options exercisable within 60 days. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION GENERAL The growth and earnings performance of the Company and the Bank Subsidiaries can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities including, but not limited to, the FRB, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the FDIC, the Illinois Commissioner, the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. The effect of such statutes, regulations and policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty. Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions, such as the Company and the Bank Subsidiaries, regulate, among other things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels relative to operations, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to the Company and the Bank Subsidiaries establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance funds and the depositors, rather than the stockholders, of financial institutions. The following references to material statutes and regulations affecting the Company and the Bank Subsidiaries are brief summaries thereof and do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations. Any change in applicable law or regulations may have a material effect on the business of the Company and the Bank Subsidiaries. RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS On August 8, 1995, the FDIC amended its regulations to change the range of deposit insurance assessments charged to members of the BIF from the then-prevailing range of .23% to .31% of deposits, to a range of .04% to .31% of deposits. On November 14, 1995, the FDIC further reduced the deposit insurance assessments for BIF-member institutions, such that the range of BIF assessments for the semi-annual assessment period which commenced January 1, 1996, is between 0% and .27% of deposits. BIF-member institutions which qualify for the 0% assessment category will, however, still have to pay the $1,000 minimum semi-annual assessment required by federal statute. The Bank Subsidiaries are all members of the BIF. Various proposals have been introduced in Congress that, if adopted, would, among other things, ultimately require federal thrift institutions to convert to state or national banks and merge the BIF and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), which insures the accounts of savings associations, into a single deposit insurance fund administered by the FDIC. This pending legislation would also require the BIF and the SAIF to share, on a pro rata basis according to the amount of deposits insured by each fund, the cost of repaying the obligations issued in the late 1980's to recapitalize the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the SAIF's predecessor insurance fund. At this time, it is not possible to predict whether, or in what form, any such legislation will be adopted or the impact such legislation would have on the Company or the Bank Subsidiaries. THE COMPANY 62 64 GENERAL The Company, as the sole stockholder of the Union Banks; Prairie, as the sole or controlling stockholder of each of the Prairie Banks; and Country, as the sole stockholder of Omni Bank, are each bank holding companies. As bank holding companies, each of the Company, Prairie and Country are registered with, and subject to regulation by, the FRB under the BHCA. Under FRB policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to its bank subsidiaries and to commit resources to support its bank subsidiaries in circumstances where the holding company might not do so absent such policy. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company is subject to periodic examination by the FRB and is required to file periodic reports of its operations and such additional information as the FRB may require. The Company, Prairie and Country are also subject to the requirements of the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act. INVESTMENTS AND ACTIVITIES Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain FRB approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. Prior to September 29, 1995, the BHCA prohibited the FRB from approving any direct or indirect acquisition by a bank holding company of more than 5% of the voting shares, or of all or substantially all of the assets, of a bank located outside of the state in which the operations of the bank holding company's banking subsidiaries were principally located unless the laws of the state in which the bank to be acquired is located specifically authorized such an acquisition. Pursuant to amendments to the BHCA which took effect September 29, 1995, a bank holding company may now acquire banks located in any state of the United States without regard to geographic restrictions or reciprocity requirements imposed by state law, subject to certain conditions, including limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the acquiring bank holding company and all of its insured depository institution affiliates. The BHCA also prohibits, with certain exceptions noted below, a bank holding company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or furnishing services to banks and their subsidiaries, except that bank holding companies may engage in, and may own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the FRB to be "so closely related to banking . . . as to be a proper incident thereto." Under current regulations of the FRB, such banking-related businesses include the operation of a thrift, sales and consumer finance, equipment leasing, the operation of a computer service bureau, including software development, and mortgage banking and brokerage. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The FRB uses capital adequacy guidelines in its examination and regulation of bank holding companies. If capital falls below minimum guideline levels, a bank holding company, among other things, may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses. Such ratios do not apply to a bank holding company with less than $150 million of consolidated assets, such as Country. The FRB's capital guidelines establish the following minimum regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies: a risk-based requirement expressed as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets, and a leverage requirement expressed as a percentage of total assets. The risk-based requirement consists of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, of which at least one-half must be Tier 1 capital (which consists principally of stockholders' equity). The leverage requirement consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly rated companies, with minimum requirements of 4% to 5% for all others. The risk-based and leverage standards presently used by the FRB are minimum requirements and higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking 63 65 organizations. Further, any banking organization experiencing or anticipating significant growth would be expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions (i.e., Tier 1 capital less all intangible assets), well above the minimum levels. As of June 30, 1996, the Company and Prairie each had regulatory capital in excess of the FRB's minimum requirements, as set forth below. LEVERAGE RISK-BASED RATIO RATIO ----- ----- Company.......... 7.92% 12.54% Prairie.......... 5.11% 14.76% DIVIDENDS The FRB has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. In the policy statement, the FRB expressed its view that a bank holding company experiencing earnings weakness should not pay cash dividends exceeding its net income or which could only be funded through methods which would weaken the bank holding company's financial health, such as borrowing. Additionally, the FRB possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies. In addition to the restrictions on dividends imposed by the FRB, the DGCL only permits the Company to pay dividends out of its surplus, or if the Company has no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Under the Illinois Business Corporation Act, as amended, an Illinois corporation such as Prairie or Country is prohibited from paying dividends if, after giving effect to the dividend, the corporation would be insolvent or the net assets of the corporation would be less than zero or less than the maximum amount then payable to stockholders of the corporation who would have preferential distribution rights if the corporation were liquidated. THE BANK SUBSIDIARIES GENERAL Each of the Ferris Bank, the Hanover Bank, the Ladd Bank, the Tiskilwa Bank and Omni Bank (collectively the "State Banks") is an Illinois-chartered bank, the deposit accounts of which are insured by the BIF. As BIF-insured and Illinois-chartered banks, the State Banks are subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF, and the Illinois Commissioner, as the chartering authority for Illinois banks. The Union Banks are Illinois-chartered banks, the deposit accounts of which are insured by the BIF, and are also members of the Federal Reserve System. As Illinois-chartered and FDIC-insured member banks, the Union Banks are subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the Illinois Commissioner, as the chartering authority for Illinois banks, the FRB, as the primary federal regulator of its member banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF. The Manlius Bank and Tampico Bank (collectively the "National Banks") are national banks, chartered by the OCC under the National Bank Act. The deposit accounts of the National Banks are insured by the BIF, and each of the National Banks is a member of the Federal Reserve System. As BIF-insured national banks, the National Banks are subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the OCC, as the chartering authority for national banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF. DEPOSIT INSURANCE As FDIC-insured institutions, the Bank Subsidiaries are required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments 64 66 to the FDIC. The amount an institution pays for FDIC deposit insurance coverage is determined in accordance with a risk-based assessment system under which each insured depository institution is placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon its level of capital and the results of supervisory evaluations. Institutions classified as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy are assessed at the lowest rate while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial supervisory concern are assessed at the highest rate. For the semi-annual assessment period ended December 31, 1995, BIF assessments for all insured institutions ranged from 0.04% to 0.31% of deposits. For the semi-annual assessment period which began January 1, 1996, BIF assessments ranged from a minimum of $1,000 to 0.27% of deposits. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period. The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in writing by, or included in a written agreement with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for a permanent termination of insurance if the institution has no tangible capital. Management of the Company is not aware of any activity or condition that could result in termination of the deposit insurance of any Bank Subsidiaries. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Under federal regulations, the Bank Subsidiaries are subject to the following minimum capital standards: a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with minimum requirements of 4% to 5% for all others, and a risk-based capital requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The capital requirements described above are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual institutions. For example, federal regulations provide that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of the risks posed by concentrations of credit and nontraditional activities, interest rate risk and the institution's ability to manage such risks. None of the Bank Subsidiaries has been required by its primary federal regulator to increase its capital to an amount in excess of the minimum regulatory requirement. As of June 30, 1996, each of the Bank Subsidiaries exceeded its minimum regulatory capital requirements, as set forth below: 65 67 LEVERAGE RISK-BASED RATIO RATIO -------- ---------- UnionBank/Streator 9.17% 14.37% UnionBank/Sandwich 7.06% 11.60% Ferris Bank....... 6.81% 17.39% Hanover Bank...... 8.43% 20.66% Ladd Bank......... 7.57% 14.65% Manlius Bank...... 7.09% 15.75% Tampico Bank...... 6.96% 17.48% Tiskilwa Bank..... 7.43% 15.46% Omni Bank......... 6.59% 11.09% Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators' corrective powers include: requiring the submission of a capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities; requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution; requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution. Additionally, institutions insured by the FDIC may be liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection with the default of commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institutions or any assistance provided by the FDIC to commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institutions in danger of default. DIVIDENDS Under the Illinois Banking Act, Illinois-chartered banks may not pay, without prior regulatory approval, dividends in excess of their adjusted profits. Federal law also imposes limitations on the amount of dividends that a state member bank, such as one of the Union Banks, or a national bank, such as one of the National Banks, may pay without prior regulatory approval. Generally, the amount is limited to the current year's net earnings of the bank plus the adjusted retained earnings for the two preceding years. The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding company is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations. As described above, the Company, Prairie, Country and the Bank Subsidiaries each exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines as of June 30, 1996. As of such date, approximately $6.78 million was available to be paid as dividends by the Bank Subsidiaries. INSIDER TRANSACTIONS The Bank Subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the Company, Prairie, Country and their subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company, Prairie, Country and their subsidiaries and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company, Prairie, Country and their subsidiaries as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting 66 68 requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Bank Subsidiaries to their respective directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company, Prairie, Country and their subsidiaries, to principal stockholders of the Company, Prairie and Country, and to "related interests" of such directors, officers and principal stockholders. In addition, such legislation and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or officer of the Company, Prairie, Country or one of their subsidiaries or a principal stockholder of the Company may obtain credit from banks with which one of the Bank Subsidiaries maintains a correspondent relationship. SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS STANDARDS On July 10, 1995, the federal banking regulators published final guidelines establishing operational and managerial standards to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. The guidelines, which took effect on August 9, 1995, establish standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines prescribe the goals to be achieved in each area and each institution is responsible for establishing its own procedures to achieve those goals. If an institution fails to comply with any of the standards set forth in the guidelines, the institution's primary federal regulator may require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and maintaining compliance. The preamble to the guidelines states that the agencies expect to require a compliance plan from an institution where the failure to meet one or more of the standards is of such severity that it could threaten the safe and sound operation of the institution. Failure to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or failure to adhere to a compliance plan that has been accepted by the appropriate regulator, constitutes grounds for further enforcement action. The federal banking agencies have also published for comment proposed asset quality and earnings standards which, if adopted, would be added to the safety and soundness guidelines. This proposal, like the final guidelines, would establish the goals to be achieved with respect to asset quality and earnings, and each institution would be responsible for establishing its own procedures to meet such goals. BRANCHING AUTHORITY Illinois-chartered banks, such as the Union Banks and the State Banks, have the authority under Illinois law to establish branches anywhere in the state of Illinois, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Federal law grants the same branching authority to the National Banks. Effective June 1, 1997 (or earlier if expressly authorized by applicable state law), the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") allows banks to establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks, subject to certain conditions, including certain limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the surviving bank and all of its insured depository institution affiliates. The establishment of de novo interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed by the Riegle-Neal Act only if specifically authorized by state law. The legislation allows individual states to "opt-out" of certain provisions of the Riegle-Neal Act by enacting appropriate legislation prior to June 1, 1997. Illinois has enacted legislation permitting interstate bank mergers beginning on June 1, 1997. STATE BANK ACTIVITIES Under federal law, as implemented by final regulations adopted by the FDIC, FDIC insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not permissible for a national bank. Federal law, as implemented by FDIC regulations, also prohibits FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank or its subsidiary, respectively, unless the bank meets, and continues to meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund of which the bank is a member. Impermissible investments and activities must be divested or discontinued within certain time frames set by the FDIC. These restrictions have not had, and are not currently expected to have, a material impact on the operations of the Bank Subsidiaries. 67 69 DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY GENERAL The authorized capital stock of the Company presently consists of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock, no par value. COMMON STOCK As of June 30, 1996, the Company had issued and outstanding 2,131,737 shares of Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and the shares offered hereby will be, fully paid and nonassessable. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders and may not cumulate votes for the election of directors. Thus, the owners of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding may elect all of the directors up for election in any given year, if they choose to do so, and the owners of the balance of such shares would not be able to elect any directors. Subject to certain preferences applicable to the shares of Preferred Stock to be issued in connection with the Prairie Acquisition, each share of outstanding Common Stock is entitled to participate equally in any distribution of net assets made to the stockholders in liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and is entitled to participate equally in dividends as and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. There are no redemption, sinking fund, conversion or preemptive rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock have equal rights and preferences. The Company currently acts as the transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock. PREFERRED STOCK The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes its Board of Directors to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, including the dividend rights, original issue price, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and sinking fund terms thereof, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof and to increase or decrease the number of shares of such series subsequent to the issuance of shares of such series (but not below the number of shares then outstanding). Pursuant to this authority, the Board of Directors has established and authorized the issuance of 2,762.24 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,092 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in connection with the Prairie Acquisition. See "The Acquisitions -- Prairie Bancorp, Inc." The Board of Directors has also established and authorized the issuance of 4,500 shares of the Company's Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock"). See " -- Certain Anti-Takeover Considerations -- Stockholders' Rights Plan." Because the terms of the Preferred Stock can be fixed by the Board of Directors without stockholder action, the Preferred Stock could be issued with terms calculated to defeat a proposed takeover of the Company or to make the removal of management more difficult. The Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, could issue Preferred Stock with dividend, voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of Common Stock. The following statements with respect to the Preferred Stock are subject to the detailed provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Certificate of Designations and Preferences for the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations") and the Certificate of Designations and Preferences for the Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Certificate of Designations"), each as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, and the bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws"). These statements do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations, the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designations and the Bylaws, copies of each of which are available from the Company upon request. DIVIDENDS Preferential cumulative cash dividends are payable on the Series A Preferred Stock quarterly at an annual rate of $75.00 per share. Preferential cumulative cash dividends are payable on the Series B Preferred Stock quarterly at an annual rate of $60.00 per share. No dividends, other than those payable solely in the form of Common Stock, may be paid during any fiscal year of the Company with respect to shares of Common Stock or any other security issued by the Company (other than with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock) 68 70 until dividends in the total annual amounts of $75.00 per share and $60.00 per share, respectively, are paid on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock. Dividends accrue on each share of Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and from day to day thereafter, whether or not earned or declared. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are cumulative, so that if such dividends are not fully paid when due, any deficiency for any prior year and the amount owed in the current year must be fully paid before any dividend or other distribution may be paid on or set apart for the shares of Common Stock. RIGHTS TO CONVERSION Pursuant to the Prairie Acquisition Agreement, the Aggregate Conversion Value (as defined below) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Principal Prairie Stockholders will depend upon the aggregate, after-tax loss, if any, incurred by the Company upon the sale of the Part B Securities. See "The Acquisitions -- Consideration for Prairie Common Stock and Prairie Preferred Stock." Such after-tax loss, if any, is computed by subtracting the aggregate net sale proceeds realized upon a sale by the Company of the Part B Securities from their aggregate book value and applying an effective tax rate to such sale of 38.8% (the "Securities Loss"). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock that results from multiplying $1,000 by the number of such shares (the "Aggregate Conversion Value") and dividing the product by the conversion price (1.075 times the Common Stock per share book value). Therefore, a reduction of the Aggregate Conversion Value will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company must sell the Part B Securities no later than the fourth anniversary of the Prairie Closing, but may sell them earlier if at any time the anticipated Securities Loss, based upon a valuation of the Part B Securities, is greater than the aggregate stated value ($1,000 per share), plus accrued but unpaid dividends, of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Principal Prairie Stockholders at the Prairie Closing, after taking into account tax effects of a sale of such securities. If the Securities Loss is greater than such amount, the Company must sell the Part B Securities as soon as is reasonably practicable. In either of these cases, the Principal Prairie Stockholders will have no liability for the Securities Loss beyond the Aggregate Conversion Value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company may also request permission from the Principal Prairie Stockholders for other sales of all or part of the Part B Securities. If the Principal Prairie Stockholders consent to such sale, the after-tax loss or gain will be aggregated with all other losses and gains upon the sale of the final portion of the Part A Securities to determine if there will be a reduction in the Aggregate Conversion Value. If permission for the sale of any Part B Securities is refused, the Principal Prairie Stockholders will incur special additional obligations with respect to those securities for which permission to sell was refused (the "Subject Securities"). Upon the sale of all the Part B Securities, the Company will aggregate all after-tax gains and losses (other than those resulting from sales of Subject Securities). The aggregate amount is then added to the aggregate after-tax gain or loss upon the sale of Subject Securities. If the result is a net after-tax loss that is in excess of the Aggregate Conversion Value, the Principal Prairie Stockholders have agreed to pay to the Company in cash the amount of any such after-tax loss to the extent of the net after-tax loss on the sales of Subject Securities. RIGHTS TO REDEMPTION The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable for cash. Each original holder of Series B Preferred Stock (or upon such holders' deaths, their respective executors or personal representatives) will have the option, exercisable at their sole discretion, to sell, and the Company will be obligated to redeem, such holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon the earlier to occur of the death of the respective original holder of Series B Preferred Stock or ten years after the original issuance date of the Series B Preferred Stock. The per share price payable by the Company for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be equal to $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to redeem for cash any shares of Series B Preferred Stock if such redemption would cause it to be in violation of any statute, rule, or regulation or agreement to which it is a party relating to minimum capital requirements, provided that the Company is required to use its best efforts promptly to remedy any such violation and shall promptly complete the redemption of such shares after such violation has been cured. 69 71 LIQUIDATION RIGHTS On dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the Company, voluntary or otherwise, holders of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, the amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment or distribution may be made on shares of Common Stock or any other securities issued by the Company which rank junior to the Preferred Stock. If the assets of the Company available for distribution to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company are insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such holders are entitled, then all of the assets of the Company to be distributed will be distributed ratably to the holders of Preferred Stock. VOTING RIGHTS Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote except: (i) as required by law; (ii) to approve the authorization or issuance of any shares of any class or series of stock which ranks senior or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of dividends and distributions upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; (iii) during any period of time when two dividend payments on shares of Series A Preferred Stock have accrued but have not been paid; (iv) upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock; or (v) if the holders of Common Stock vote on a proposal to merge or otherwise enter into a transaction with a third party pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving entity. Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote except as required by law. If holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on any matter as described above, they will be entitled to receive notice of any stockholders' meeting at which such matter will be considered and will be entitled to vote as a class. CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER CONSIDERATIONS GENERAL The Certificate of Incorporation contains certain provisions that may be perceived as having an "anti-takeover" effect. The purpose of these provisions is to encourage any party seeking to acquire control of the Company to negotiate the transaction, in advance, with the Company's Board of Directors and to present any proposed transaction approved by the Company's Board of Directors to all of the Company's stockholders. These provisions may also have the effect of discouraging takeovers, including takeovers that a majority of the stockholders of the Company may deem to be desirable and in which the stockholders may receive a substantial premium over market value in payment for their shares. In addition, the provisions may make it more difficult or time-consuming for the stockholders to change the management of the Company, even if a majority of the stockholders believe that such a change would be beneficial. CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Company's Board of Directors is divided into three classes with each director serving a staggered three-year term. With a staggered board of directors, at least two annual meetings are required to effect a change in the composition of a majority of the board of directors. Without a staggered board of directors, a person or entity which acquired a simple majority of Common Stock would have the power to change the composition of the board of directors at a single annual meeting. NUMBER OF DIRECTORS, FILLING OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS' VACANCIES AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the number of directors of the Company will be fifteen, or such other number as is determined from time to time by the affirmative vote of at least 70% of all shares of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors, or of at least two-thirds of the directors of the Company. Under the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the Board of Directors, though less than a quorum, or the sole remaining director, may fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors. Under the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation, a director serving on a staggered board may only be removed for cause. Neither the DGCL nor the Company's Certificate of Incorporation define "cause." The circumstances under which directors may be removed are therefore judicially determined and would generally be expected to include fraud, criminal conduct or gross 70 72 abuse of office amounting to a breach of fiduciary duty to the Company. The provisions relating to the fixing of the number of directors, the filling of vacancies on the board and the removal of directors are intended to prevent a substantial stockholder from circumventing the purposes of a staggered board by increasing the number of directors on the board or removing incumbent directors without cause and then filling the newly created directorships or vacancies with such stockholder's own nominees. Such provisions may, however, make it more difficult to remove a director in the event of dissatisfaction with the director's performance. STOCKHOLDER ACTION The Certificate of Incorporation provides that stockholder action may be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and not by written consent without a meeting. This prohibition could be used to delay the taking of any action requiring stockholder approval which is not approved by the Board of Directors, whether or not a majority of the stockholders believes such action may be desirable. Under such circumstances, stockholders may be required to wait until the next annual meeting of stockholders to take action which does not have the support of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. TRANSACTIONS WITH INTERESTED STOCKHOLDERS The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company is to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL ("Section 203"). Section 203 restricts certain forms of business combinations by Delaware corporations with an "Interested Stockholder" for a period of three years from the date that such a person became an "Interested Stockholder" unless: (i) prior to such date, the corporation's board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an "Interested Stockholder;" (ii) upon consummation of the transaction, the Interested Stockholder owns at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares held by persons who are directors and also officers and under certain types of employee stock plans); or (iii) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the corporation's board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock, other than stock owned by the "Interested Stockholder." An "Interested Stockholder" is defined as any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity which: (x) owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation; (y) is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an Interested Stockholder; or (z) is an affiliate or associate of such a person. AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION Article XI of the Certificate of Incorporation also provides that any amendment, alteration, change or repeal of Articles VI or X of the Certificate of Incorporation, which pertain to the authority of the Board of Directors and the number, election, classification, filling of vacancies and removal of directors, respectively, as well as any amendment to Article XI itself, may occur only by the affirmative vote of not less than 70% of all shares of stock of the Company then entitled to vote in the election of directors or a majority of such shares if the action is approved by two-thirds of all directors. Article XI requires similar approval for the adoption of any agreement regarding the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, the authorization of any sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or the authorization of the dissolution of the Company. LIMITATION OF DIRECTORS' LIABILITY As permitted by the provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation eliminates in certain circumstances the monetary liability of directors of the Company to the Company or its stockholders for a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors. These provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for: (i) a breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) acts or omissions by a director not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) liability arising under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to the declaration of dividends and purchase or redemption of shares in violation of the DGCL); or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, 71 73 these provisions do not limit the rights of the Company or its stockholders, in appropriate circumstances, to seek equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief. INDEMNIFICATION As permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation requires the Company to indemnify all persons who it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Under such provisions, any director, officer, employee or agent who, in his or her capacity as such, is made or threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding, must be indemnified if such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. The DGCL further provides that such indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which such individuals may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement, insurance policies, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. STOCKHOLDERS' RIGHTS PLAN The Company has adopted a Stockholders' Rights Plan pursuant to which the Company declared on July 17, 1996, a dividend distribution of one right for each share of Common Stock then or subsequently outstanding (the "Rights"). Under the plan, until such time as a "triggering event" occurs, each Right entitles the holder thereof to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of a newly authorized Series C Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $50, subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalizations and other similar transactions. Each Right is transferrable only together with its underlying share of Common Stock. The Rights will be triggered as a result of any person (other than a specifically permitted person) becoming the beneficial holder of 15% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. Upon such occurrence, each Right, other than rights held by the person or affiliated group whose holdings exceeded such threshold, will permit the holder thereof to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock having a market value equal to $100. The Rights will also be triggered if the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination (in which any shares of the Common Stock are converted into or exchanged for other securities or assets), or if more than 50% of the assets or earning power of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole) are sold or transferred in one or a series of related transactions. In such event, each Right, other than Rights held by the person or affiliated group whose holdings exceeded the 15% threshold, will entitle its holder to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company having a market value at the time of such transaction equal to $100. Following the occurrence of any triggering event, each Right becomes separated from its underlying share of Common Stock and may thereafter be separately transferred. Under the plan, at any time prior to ten days following the occurrence of any triggering event the Board of Directors may cause the Company to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Right, subject to adjustment. The Board may also extend the period during which the Rights may be redeemed. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE Upon the completion of this Offering, the Company will have 3,951,403 shares of Common Stock outstanding (4,116,403 shares if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full). Of these shares, the 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock sold in this Offering (1,265,000 shares if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be freely tradeable by persons other than affiliates of the Company, without restriction under the Securities Act. Of the remaining 2,842,314 shares of Common Stock, the 710,576 shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the Prairie Acquisition and the approximately 886,395 shares of Common Stock held by other affiliates of the Company will be "restricted" securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an exemption from registration is available, including the exemptions contained in Rule 144. Commencing 90 days after the date of this Prospectus, the shares beneficially owned by persons who are affiliates of the Company would be eligible for public sale pursuant to Rule 144, subject to the volume restrictions discussed below. However, the directors and executive officers of the Company and owners of 5% or more of Common Stock have agreed not to sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Underwriter. Additionally, the Company has a right of first refusal with respect to the transfer by the Principal Prairie Stockholders of more than 5% of the Company's shares to a single purchaser. See "The Acquisition -- Prairie Bancorp, Inc. -- Restrictions Applicable to Principal Prairie Stockholders." In general, Rule 144 as currently in effect provides that a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), 72 74 including an affiliate of the Company, who has beneficially owned his or her shares for at least two years (including the prior holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate) is entitled to sell within any three-month period that number of shares which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding each such sale. Sales under Rule 144 also are subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the Company. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not or has not been deemed an "affiliate" of the Company for at least three months, and who has beneficially owned shares for at least three years (including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate) would be entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the limitations discussed above.

F - 9 85 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Stockholders and Board of Directors UnionBancorp, Inc. Ottawa, Illinois We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UnionBancorp, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UnionBancorp, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for investment securities in 1994.

F - 15 91 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices prescribed for the banking industry. The significant accounting and reporting policies for UnionBancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") follow: Nature of Business The Company is a two bank holding company with two nonbank subsidiaries. The Company provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in the North Central Illinois area. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Company and its bank subsidiaries are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, UnionBank, UnionBank/Sandwich (collectively, the "Union Banks"), UnionData Corp., Inc. and Union Corporation. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of accounting In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Company management is required to make estimates and assumptions which significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates which are particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time include the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of real estate and other properties acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of amounts due from borrowers on loans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity, other than trust cash on deposit with the Union Banks, are not assets of the Union Banks and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Securities held to maturity Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities the Company has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed using the interest method over their contractual lives. (Continued) F - 16 92 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities available for sale Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. The difference between fair value and cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, results in an unrealized gain or loss. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in stockholders' equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. Gains or losses from the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method. Loans Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned interest and the allowance for loan losses. Unearned interest on certain installment loans is credited to income over the term of the loan using the interest method. For all other loans, interest is credited to income as earned using the simple interest method applied to the daily balances of the principal outstanding. The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of interest or principal. Interest income on these loans is recognized to the extent interest payments are received and the principal is considered fully collectible. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. The evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Union Banks' allowances for loan losses, and may require additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. (Continued) F - 17 93 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114 (Statement No. 114), "Accounting by Creditors for the Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118, which requires loans to be considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the bank will not be able to collect all amounts due. The portion of the allowance for loan losses applicable to impaired loans has been computed based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of interest and principal discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The entire change in present value of expected cash flows of impaired loans or of collateral value is reported as bad debt expense in the same manner in which impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad debt expense that otherwise would be reported. Premises and equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible assets The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired is amortized using the straight-line method over fifteen years. Deferred income taxes Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Per share data Earnings per share are calculated on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, including common stock equivalents, outstanding during the year. Shares held by the employee stock ownership plan are considered to be outstanding shares regardless of whether they are allocated to participants or held as unallocated shares. Statements of cash flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on hand and amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing). (Continued) F - 18 94 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accounting for mortgage servicing rights The FASB has issued Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (Statement No. 121) which becomes effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. Statement No. 121 generally requires long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the entity should estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment is recognized. Management believes that adoption of this Statement will not have a material effect on Union's financial statements. Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of In May 1995 , the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 122 , "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" (Statement No. 122). Statement No. 122 requires the Union Banks to recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired. If the Union Banks acquire mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sell or securitize those loans with servicing rights retained, the Union Banks should allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. The mortgage servicing rights should be amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Statement No. 122 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company believes the adoption of Statement No. 122 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (Statement No. 123). Statement No. 123 establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. Statement No. 123 permits the continued use of the intrinsic value method included in Accounting Principle Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", but regardless of the method used to account for the compensation cost associated with stock option or similar plans, it requires employers to disclose information required by Statement No. 123. Statement No. 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company believes the adoption of Statement No. 123 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS The Union Banks are required to maintain legal reserves composed of funds on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and cash on hand. The required balances as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, were $1,973,000 and $1,816,000, respectively. (Continued) F - 19 95 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3.

(Continued) F - 23 99 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company and its subsidiaries conduct most of their business activities, including granting agribusiness, commercial, residential and installment loans with customers in the Illinois counties of LaSalle, Livingston, Grundy, Bureau, Kendall, DeKalb and Kane. The loan portfolio includes a concentration of loans to agricultural and agricultural-related industries amounting to approximately $27,308,000 and $26,560,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Generally those loans are collateralized by assets of those entities. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. Credit losses arising from lending transactions with agricultural entities compare favorably with the Company's credit loss experience on the loan portfolio as a whole. In the normal course of business, loans are made to employees, executive officers, directors and principal stockholders of the Company and its subsidiaries and to parties which the Company or its directors, executive officers and stockholders have the ability to significantly influence its management or operations (related parties). In the opinion of management, the terms of these loans, including interest rates and collateral, are similar to those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility. Changes in such loans during the year ended December 31, 1995: Balance at the beginning of year $ 8,178,000 New loans, extensions and modifications 8,936,000 Repayments (5,776,000) ------------ Balance at end of year $ 11,338,000 ============ Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans were $47,777,424, $46,546,355, and $43,062,391 at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company sold residential mortgages with balances of approximately $13,122,711, $9,158,620 and $29,485,699, respectively, to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Gains of $137,456, $130,163 and $573,773, respectively, were realized on those sales. In addition, during 1995, the Company sold mortgage loans with balances of approximately $103,030 to the Illinois Housing Development Authority for a gain of $2,435 and commercial loans with balances of approximately $1,446,777 to the Small Business Administration for a gain of $86,467. The Company also realized a gain of $61,204 on the sale of its entire portfolio of student loans during 1995. (Continued) F - 24 100 UNIONBANCORP, INC.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN The Company's Employees' Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") covers all full-time employees who have completed six months of service and have attained the minimum age of twenty and one-half years. Vesting in the ESOP is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100 percent vested after seven years of credited service. The ESOP operates as a leveraged employee stock ownership plan. The ESOP owns 450,945 shares of the Company's common stock. These shares are held in trust and are allocated to participant's accounts in the ESOP as the related loan obligation is repaid. At December 31, 1995, 416,232 shares were allocated to ESOP participants. Principal and interest on the loan are required to be paid in quarterly installments through April 1996. The loan, with an outstanding balance of $46,875, bears interest at 88% of prime, with an effective rate of 7.48% as of December 31, 1995. (Continued) F - 28 104 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company contributions, when aggregated with the ESOP's dividend and interest earnings, are, at a minimum, equal to the amount required by the ESOP to pay the principal and interest on the loan, plus the sum required to purchase allocated shares from terminated participants. The Company expenses all cash contributions made to the ESOP. Contributions were $236,959, $250,576 and $244,020 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. NOTE 11. STOCK OPTION PLAN In April 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). Under the Option Plan, non-qualified options, incentive stock options, and/or stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees and outside directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price to be determined by the Option Plan's administrative committee. Pursuant to the Option Plan, 600,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock have been reserved and are available for issuance upon the exercise of options and rights granted under the Option Plan. A summary of the activity in the Option Plan follows: Exercise Granted Vested Forfeited Exercisable Outstanding Price ------------ ------ --------- ----------- ----------- ------------- December 31, 1993 - - - - - December 31, 1994 38,100 7,620 - 7,620 38,100 $5.04 - $6.75 December 31, 1995 30,300 - - - 30,300 $6.75 - $8.33 ---------- ------ --------- ----------- ---------- Total 68,400 7,620 - 7,620 68,400 ========== ====== ========= =========== ========== The Company recognizes compensation expense on non-qualified stock options over the stated vesting period for the difference between fair value and the exercise price of the options granted. The Company recognized compensation expense of $18,938 during 1995 related to non-qualified stock options. NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (Statement No. 107), requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. (Continued) F - 29 105 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and due from banks The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks approximate their fair values. Federal funds sold The stated carrying amounts of federal funds sold approximate their fair values. Securities Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Loans For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Off-balance-sheet instruments Fair values for the Company's off-balance-sheet instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of these items is not material. Deposit liabilities The fair values for demand deposits equal their carrying amounts, which represents the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. Short-term borrowings The stated carrying amounts of borrowings under agreements to repurchase, and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. (Continued) F - 30 106 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as follows: December 31, ------------------------------------------------------ 1995 1994 ------------------------- --------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value ----------- ------------ ------------ ------------ Financial Assets: Cash and due from banks $ 16,166,689 $ 16,166,689 $ 12,997,888 $ 12,997,888 Federal funds sold 2,265,000 2,265,000 1,200,000 1,200,000 Securities 92,917,029 93,077,393 85,260,045 83,760,196 Loans 178,805,012 178,927,747 159,429,967 159,290,869 Financial Liabilities: Deposits 261,727,319 262,490,548 232,333,565 232,040,448 Short-term borrowings 15,851,384 15,851,384 18,144,437 18,144,437 In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Company that are not defined as financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as property and equipment. Also, nonfinancial instruments typically not recognized in financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential of loan servicing rights, the earnings potential of the trust operations, the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items. NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CREDIT RISK In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various contingent liabilities such as claims and legal action, which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claims. The Union Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. (Continued) F - 31 107 UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Union Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 1995 follow: Range of Rates Variable Rate Fixed Rate Total on Fixed Rate Commitments Commitments Commitments Commitments --------------- ------------- ------------ -------------- Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit $ 40,686,000 $ 3,111,000 $ 43,797,000 6.25%-11.25% The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers and certain other management personnel. These agreements generally continue until terminated by the executive or the Company and provide for continued salary and benefits to the executive under certain circumstances. The agreements provide the employees with additional rights after a change of control of the Company occurs. The Company does not engage in the use of interest rate swaps, or futures, forwards or option contracts. NOTE 14. CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION - PARENT COMPANY ONLY The primary source of funds for the Company is dividends from its subsidiaries. Certain regulatory requirements restrict the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Union Banks to the Company.

F - 37 114 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PRAIRIE BANCORP, INC. The following discussion provides additional information regarding the operations and financial condition of Prairie Bancorp, Inc. ("Prairie") for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the three years ended December 31, 1995. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of operations for the three years ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and accompanying notes included elsewhere in the prospectus. GENERAL Prairie derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operations of its subsidiaries, the Prairie Banks, which provide a full range of commercial and consumer banking services to businesses and individuals, primarily in central and western Illinois. As of June 30, 1996, Prairie had total assets of $226.0 million, net loans of $73.0 million, total deposits of $187.8 million and total stockholders' equity of $11.7 million. Prairie's reported net income grew to $497,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from net income of $481,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as a result of internal loan and deposit portfolio growth generating higher net interest income partially offset by a decrease in securities gains in 1996 compared to 1995. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME Net income of Prairie was $497,000 ($188 per common share) for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with net income of $481,000 ($252 per common share) for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $16,000 or 3.3%. Net income per common share in 1996 decreased due to additional dividends paid on preferred stock issued during 1995. Factors contributing to the increase in net income in 1996 compared with 1995 include the higher percentage of loans to total assets and replacement of other borrowings with lower cost deposits. Net income was $828,000 for 1995 ($344 per common share), compared with net income of $786,000 for 1994 ($442 per common share) and $1,311,000 for 1993 ($1,245 per common share). Net income per common share in 1995 decreased due to additional dividends paid on preferred stock issued during 1995. The increase in net income for 1995 from 1994 was due primarily to an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $168,000. The decrease in net income from 1993 to 1994 was attributable to an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $393,000 coupled with an increase in noninterest expense of $637,000 partially attributable to the opening of new branches and a decrease in securities gains of $361,000. NET INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES Net income before income taxes was $712,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with $637,000 for the first six months of 1995, an 11.8% increase. Net income before income taxes was $1,103,000 in 1995 compared with $1,013,000 in 1994 and $1,582,000 in 1993. F - 38 115 NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as interest rate margin or net interest margin, represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Prairie's principal interest-earning assets are loans, investment securities and federal funds sold. Net interest income was $2,735,000 for the first six months of 1996, an increase of $385,000 or 16.38% compared with the first six months of 1995, resulting principally from an increase in loans. In addition, Prairie experienced an increase in the net interest spread from 1.9% to 2.28% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The foregoing increase resulted principally from the fact that the yield on interest-earning assets increased and the cost of the interest-bearing liabilities decreased slightly. The yield on interest-earning assets increased from 6.93% to 7.10%, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.03% to 4.82% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Net interest income was $4,796,000 for 1995, an increase of $127,000 or 2.72% compared with net interest income of $4,669,000 for 1994, which represented an increase of $503,000 or 12.07% compared with net interest income of $4,166,000 for 1993. Prairie's average total interest-earning assets increased from approximately $208 million for 1994 to $217 million for 1995, representing a 4.56% increase resulting principally from an increase in loans. The net interest margin of 2.29% for 1995 decreased from 2.34% for 1994. The following table sets forth for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts and the average rate paid for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on all interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities, and the net yield on average interest-earning assets for the same period.

F - 41 119 Prairie's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a "volume change". It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds referred to as a "rate change". The following table reflects the changes in net interest income stemming from changes in interest rates and from asset and liability volume, including mix. The change in interest attributable to both rate and volume has been allocated to the changes in the rate and the volume on a pro rata basis.

F - 42 120 PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The amount of the provision for loan losses is based on periodic (not less than quarterly) evaluations of the loan portfolio, with particular attention directed toward nonperforming and other potential problem loans. During these evaluations, consideration is given to such factors as management's evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of nonperforming loans, historical loss experience, results of examinations by regulatory agencies, an internal asset review process, the market value of collateral, the strength and availability of guaranties, concentrations of credits, and other judgmental factors. Prairie recorded a $20,000 provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with a $22,000 negative provision during the first six months of 1995. As Prairie's ratio of net charge-offs to average loans remained unchanged for these periods, Prairie provided amounts to compensate for growth in the loan portfolio in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. During 1995, recoveries exceeded charge-offs by $57,000 which resulted in a negative provision for loan losses in the amount of $31,000. A negative provision has the effect of reducing the allowance for loan losses. The $10,000 provision for loan losses recorded during 1994 was significantly increased from the negative $100,000 provision recorded in 1993 and was due primarily to an increase in loans of 12.61%. NONINTEREST INCOME The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. Six Months Ended Years Ended June 30, December 31, ------------------ ------------------------------------ 1996 1995 1995 1994 1993 -------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- Noninterest income Service charges and fees $205,000 $ 166,000 $346,000 $ 317,000 $ 300,000 Securities gains, net -- 406,000 402,000 505,000 866,000 Other 51,000 111,000 245,000 275,000 274,000 -------- --------- -------- ---------- ---------- Total noninterest income $256,000 $ 683,000 $993,000 $1,097,000 $1,440,000 ======== ========= ======== ========== ========== Noninterest income is generated primarily from fees associated with noninterest and interest-bearing accounts as well as securities gains. Noninterest income for the first six months of 1996 was $256,000, a decrease of $427,000 or 62.52% compared with noninterest income of $683,000 for the first six months of 1995. The decrease in noninterest income is the result of a decrease of $406,000 in securities gains during the first six months of 1996 compared with the first six months of 1995. Excluding security gains, noninterest income would have shown a slight increase during this period. Noninterest income was $993,000 for 1995, a decrease of $104,000 or 9.48% compared with noninterest income of $1,097,000 for 1994, which represented a decrease of $343,000 or 23.82% from 1993. While service charges remained fairly constant from 1993 to 1995, securities gains decreased $103,000 or 20.40% from 1994 to 1995 and $361,000 or 41.69% from 1993 to 1994. Management elected to reposition the composition of its portfolio in 1993 to reduce fixed-rate exposure of assets and for tax-related reasons. Gains in 1994 and 1995 were from securities classified as available for sale and were due to interest rate movements. F - 43 121 NONINTEREST EXPENSE The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

An $83,000 decrease in FDIC assessments and general expense controls were the primary reasons for the decline. Deposits held by the Prairie Banks are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and as FDIC-insured institutions, the Prairie Banks are required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The amount an institution pays for FDIC deposit insurance coverage is determined in accordance with a risk-based assessment system under which each insured depository institution is placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon its level of capital and the results of supervisory evaluations. The FDIC has issued refunds to the best-rated institutions for assessment which exceeded the recapitalization requirements of the BIF. The Prairie Banks received a total refund from the FDIC of approximately $136,000. The change in the deposit insurance assessment rate is expected to significantly reduce the cost of deposit insurance for the Prairie Banks. See "Regulation and Supervision--The Bank Subsidiaries--Deposit Insurance". F - 44 122 Noninterest expense was $4,622,000 for 1995, a decrease of $26,000 or .56% compared with noninterest expense of $4,648,000 for 1994, which represented an increase of $637,000 or 15.88% compared with noninterest expense of $4,011,000 for 1993. The decrease in noninterest expense from 1994 to 1995 was due primarily to a decrease in FDIC insurance of $210,000 and management's emphasis on expense control. Salaries and wages increased $234,000 for the same period, offsetting some of the reduction in other expenses. Noninterest expense increased from 1993 to 1994 primarily as a result of a 19.87% increase in salaries and benefits, a 33.80% increase in occupancy and equipment expense, and a 23.57% increase in FDIC insurance. All such increases were due to deposit growth, both from new branches opened and aggressive marketing efforts. INCOME TAXES During 1993, Prairie adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The principal effect of SFAS No. 109 is to allow a tax benefit for cumulative book loss reserves in excess of tax reserves. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets may be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available experience, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Prairie elected not to restate prior years and has determined that the cumulative effect of implementation was not significant. Prairie and the Prairie Banks filed a consolidated tax return for 1995. Prairie has recorded income tax expense of $215,000 on income before taxes of $712,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an effective tax rate of 30.2%, as compared with income tax expense of $156,000 on income before taxes of $637,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an effective tax rate of 24.5%. Prairie recorded income tax expense of $275,000, $227,000 and $271,000 on income before taxes of $1,103,000, $1,013,000 and $1,582,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Effective tax rates were 24.9%, 22.4% and 17.1% for such periods. Prairie's effective tax rates varied from the statutory tax rate primarily due to interest income on municipal investments, which is exempt from federal income tax. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT The operating income and net income of the Prairie Banks depend, to a substantial extent, on "rate differentials", i.e., the differences between the income the Prairie Banks receive from loans, securities and other earning assets, and the interest expense they pay to obtain deposits and other liabilities. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Prairie Banks, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. See "Investment Considerations -- Impact of Interest Rates and Economic Conditions." The objective of monitoring and managing the interest rate risk position of the balance sheet is to contribute to earnings and to minimize the adverse changes in net interest income. The potential for earnings to be affected by changes in interest rates is inherent in a financial institution. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and changes in net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. An asset sensitive position in a given period will result in more assets being subject to repricing; therefore, as interest rates rise, such a position will have a positive effect on net interest income. Conversely, in a liability sensitive position, where liabilities reprice more quickly than assets in a given period, a rise in interest rates will have an adverse effect on net interest income. One way to analyze interest rate risk is to evaluate the balance of Prairie's interest rate sensitivity position. A mix of assets and liabilities that are roughly equal in volume and term and repricing represents a matched interest rate sensitivity position. Any excess of assets or liabilities in a particular period results in an interest rate sensitivity gap. The following table presents the interest rate sensitivity for Prairie's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 1996: F - 45 123 INTEREST-RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES June 30, 1996 3 months 3 months to 6 months or less 6 months to 1 year ------------- ------------- ------------ Interest-earning assets: Interest-earning deposits $ 2,871,000 $ - $ - Federal funds sold 2,131,000 - - Investment securities 1,728,000 - 1,013,000 Loans 9,648,000 6,200,000 21,782,000 ------------- ------------- ------------ Interest-earning assets $ 16,378,000 $ 6,200,000 $ 22,795,000 ------------- ------------- ------------ Interest-bearing liabilities: Interest-bearing demand deposits $ 21,519,000 $ - $ - Savings deposits 46,662,000 - - Time deposits 40,918,000 20,189,000 22,352,000 Repurchase agreements and federal fund purchased 4,468,000 220,000 763,000 Federal Home Loan Bank advances and notes payable 6,500,000 500,000 566,000 ------------- ------------- ------------ Interest-bearing liabilities $ 120,067,000 $ 20,909,000 $ 23,681,000 ------------- ------------- ------------ Period interest sensitivity gap $(103,689,000) $ (14,709,000) $ (886,000) ============= ============= ============ Cumulative interest sensitivity gap $(103,689,000) $(118,398,000) $119,284,000 ============= ============= ============ Cumulative gap as a percent of assets (45.87)% (52.38)% (52.77)% ============= ============= ============ Cumulative interest-sensitive assets as a percent of cumulative interest-sensitive liabilities 13.64% 16.02% 27.56% ============= ============= ============ June 30, 1996 1 year to 5 years Over 5 years Total ------------ ------------ ------------ Interest-earning assets: Interest-earning deposits $ - $ - $ 2,871,000 Federal funds sold - - 2,131,000 Investment securities 5,580,000 128,970,000 137,291,000 Loans 30,318,000 4,886,000 72,834,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ Interest-earning assets $ 35,898,000 $133,856,000 $215,127,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ Interest-bearing liabilities: Interest-bearing demand deposits $ - $ - $ 21,519,000 Savings deposits - - 46,662,000 Time deposits 20,756,000 3,066,000 107,281,000 Repurchase agreements and federal fund purchased 2,451,000 568,000 8,470,000 Federal Home Loan Bank advances and notes payable 6,410,000 1,695,000 15,671,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ Interest-bearing liabilities $ 29,617,000 $ 5,329,000 $199,603,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ Period interest sensitivity gap $ 6,281,000 $128,527,000 $ 15,524,000 ============ ============ ============ Cumulative interest sensitivity gap $113,003,000 $ 15,524,000 $ 15,524,000 ============ ============ ============ Cumulative gap as a percent of assets (50.00)% 6.87% ============ ============ Cumulative interest-sensitive assets as a percent of cumulative interest-sensitive liabilities 41.83% 107.78% ============ ============ The cumulative rate-sensitive gap position at one year was a liability-sensitive position of $119.3 million, or negative 52.77%, which indicates that Prairie was in a mismatched interest rate-sensitive position at June 30, 1996. In connection with the Prairie Acquisition, the Company took certain measures in an effort to minimize interest-rate risk associated with Prairie's investment portfolio.

Prairie undertakes this interest rate-sensitivity analysis to monitor the potential risk to future earnings from the impact of possible future changes in interest rates on currently existing net assets or net liability positions. However, this type of analysis is as of a point-in-time, when in fact Prairie's interest rate sensitivity can quickly change as market conditions, customer needs and management strategies change. Thus, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Prairie is not involved in the purchase of derivative financial instruments or structured notes. The preceding table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on Prairie's net interest income because the repricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competitive and other pressures. Currently, the Prairie Banks are holding approximately $122 million in mortgage-backed securities. Although the mortgage-backed securities have a stated maturity greater than five years, it is not uncommon for mortgage-backed securities to prepay outstanding principal prior to stated maturities. As a result, assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within the same period may, in fact, reprice at different times and at different rate levels. F - 46 124 ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION LOANS AND ASSET QUALITY Prairie's loans are diversified by borrower and industry group. Loan growth has occurred every year over the past five years and can be attributed to acquisitions, increased loan demand and the addition of new lending products. The following table describes the composition of loans by major categories outstanding at June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991.

Many of these loans are made on a short-term basis with the possibility of renewal at time of maturity. All loans, however, are reviewed on a continuous basis for creditworthiness. NONPERFORMING ASSETS Prairie's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income on its loan portfolio, unless a loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis. Loans are placed on a nonaccrual basis when there are serious doubts regarding the collectibility of all principal and interest due under the terms of the loan. Amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied first to principal and then to interest after all principal has been collected. It is the policy of the Prairie Banks not to renegotiate the terms of a loan because of a delinquent status. Rather, a loan is generally transferred to nonaccrual status if it is not in the process of collection and is delinquent in payment of either principal or interest beyond 90 days. Other nonperforming assets consist of real estate acquired through loan foreclosures or other workout situations and other assets acquired through repossessions. The following table summarizes nonperforming assets by category as of June 30, 1996 and as of December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991: F - 49 127 NONPERFORMING ASSETS December 31, June 30, --------------------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Nonaccrual loans $248,000 $350,000 $228,000 $301,000 $378,000 $265,000 Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest 569,000 323,000 231,000 105,000 91,000 77,000 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming loans 817,000 673,000 459,000 406,000 469,000 342,000 Other real estate owned and other assets 33,000 - 18,000 69,000 82,000 - -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming assets $850,000 $673,000 $477,000 $475,000 $551,000 $342,000 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Nonperforming assets to total assets 0.38% 0.30% 0.21% 0.27% 0.39% 0.39% Nonperforming loans to total loans 1.11 1.00 0.75 0.75 0.93 1.01 Nonperforming assets to total loans 1.15 1.00 0.78 0.88 1.09 1.01 The classification of a loan on nonaccrual status does not necessarily indicate that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in part. A determination as to collectibility is made by Prairie Banks on a case-by-case basis. Prairie Banks consider both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans. The final determination as to these steps is made on a case-by-case basis. Alternatives that are typically considered to collect nonaccrual loans are foreclosure, collecting on guarantees, restructuring the loan or collection lawsuits. F - 50 128 On January 1, 1995, Prairie adopted guidelines for impaired loans required by Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." The adoption of FAS 114 did not significantly impact the comparability of the allowance related tables of Prairie included in this Prospectus. The following table sets forth a summary of other real estate owned and other collateral acquired as of June 30, 1996: OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED & OTHER COLLATERAL ACQUIRED Number of Parcels/ Net Book Description Autos Carrying Value - --------------------------------------------- -------------- Developed property 1 $ 22,000 Repossessed automobiles 1 11,000 ----------- -------------- 2 $ 33,000 =========== ============== ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES In originating loans, management of Prairie recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for such loan. The allowance for loan losses represents Prairie's estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for losses incurred in the loan portfolio. In making this determination, Prairie analyzes the ultimate collectibility of Prairie's loan portfolio, incorporating feedback provided by internal loan staff and provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies. Prairie makes an ongoing evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. To establish the appropriate level of the allowance, all loans (including nonperforming loans), commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are reviewed and classified as to potential loss exposure. Specific allowances are then established for those loans, commitments to extend credit or standby letters of credit with identified loss exposure and an additional allowance is maintained based upon the size, quality and concentration characteristics of the remaining loan portfolio using both historical quantitative trends and Prairie's evaluation of qualitative factors including future economic and industry outlooks. The determination by Prairie of the appropriate level of the allowance amount was $784,000 at June 30, 1996. The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed monthly and as adjustments, either positive or negative, become necessary they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. The following table presents a detailed analysis of Prairie's allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991: F - 51 129 ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES December 31, June 30, -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 ----------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Beginning balance $ 741,000 $ 715,000 $ 781,000 $ 963,000 $ 499,000 $ 424,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Charge-offs: Commercial 23,000 53,000 96,000 60,000 102,000 12,000 Real estate 32,000 -- 4,000 28,000 100,000 5,000 Installment loans 47,000 34,000 53,000 65,000 49,000 22,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total charge-offs 102,000 87,000 153,000 153,000 251,000 39,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Recoveries: Commercial 97,000 125,000 66,000 32,000 18,000 52,000 Real estate 20,000 -- 3,000 24,000 53,000 -- Installment loans 8,000 19,000 8,000 15,000 26,000 15,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total recoveries 125,000 144,000 77,000 71,000 97,000 67,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net charge-offs (23,000) (57,000) 76,000 82,000 154,000 (28,000) Bank acquisition -- -- -- -- 366,000 -- Provision for loan losses 20,000 (31,000) 10,000 (100,000) 252,000 47,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Ending balance $ 784,000 $ 741,000 $ 715,000 $ 781,000 $ 963,000 $ 499,000 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Period end total loans, net of unearned interest $ 73,834,000 $ 67,133,000 $ 60,795,000 $ 53,804,000 $ 50,332,000 $ 33,961,000 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Average loans $ 70,483,000 $ 64,662,000 $ 57,339,000 $ 52,134,000 $ 47,887,000 $ 33,850,000 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Ratio of net charge-offs to average loans (0.03)% (0.09)% 0.13% 0.16% 0.32% (0.08)% ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Ratio of provision for loan losses to average loans 0.03 (0.05) 0.02 (0.19) 0.53 0.14 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Ratio of allowance for loan losses to ending total loans 1.06 1.10 1.18 1.45 1.91 1.47 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Ratio of allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans 95.96 110.10 155.77 192.36 205.33 145.91 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Ratio of allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming assets 92.24 110.10 149.90 164.42 174.77 145.91 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ F - 52 130 The following table sets forth an allocation of the allowance for loan losses among categories as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991. Management of Prairie believes that any allocation of the allowance for loan losses into categories lends an appearance of precision which does not exist. The allowance is utilized as a single unallocated allowance available for all loans. The following allocation table should not be interpreted as an indication of the specific amounts or the relative proportion of future charges to the allowance and has been derived by applying a general allowance to the portfolio as a whole, in addition to specific allowance amounts for internally classified loans. In retrospect, the specific allocation in any particular category may prove excessive or inadequate and consequently may be reallocated in the future to reflect the then current condition. Accordingly, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses in any category.

Investment securities which are classified as held-to-maturity are purchased with the intent and ability of Prairie to hold them to maturity. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at historical cost. Prairie's financial planning anticipates income streams based on normal maturity and reinvestment. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are purchased with the intent to provide liquidity and to increase returns. The securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Prairie does not have any securities classified as trading. Securities held-to-maturity, carried at amortized cost, amounted to $97.8 million at June 30, 1996, compared with $103.8 million at December 31, 1995 and $135.1 million at December 31, 1994. The net unrealized loss on securities held-to-maturity was $2.5 million at June 30, 1996 compared with unrealized losses of $2.2 million at December 31, 1995 and $8.4 million at December 31, 1994. The changes in unrealized loss were attributable to both a decline in amounts held-to-maturity and interest rate movements during 1995. Securities available-for-sale, carried at fair value, were $39.5 million at June 30, 1996, compared to $42.5 million at December 31, 1995 and $20.6 million at December 31, 1994. On December 31, 1995, based on management's reassessment of their previous designations of securities, giving consideration to liquidity needs, interest rate risk and other factors, securities with an amortized cost of $20.9 million and an unrealized gain of $452,000 were transferred from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. The transfer was allowed pursuant to a FASB Special Report, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement No. 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Prior to January 1, 1994, all debt securities were carried at amortized cost. Effective January 1, 1994, Prairie adopted SFAS No. 115, and classified investments as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale.

Prairie's average balance of total deposits was $185,569,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, representing an increase of $3,569,000 or 1.96% compared with the average balance of total deposits for the year ended December 31, 1995. Prairie's average balance of total deposits was $182,000,000 for the year ended 1995, an increase of $12,501,000 or 7.38% compared with the average balance of total deposits outstanding for 1994 of $169,499,000, an increase of $44,911,000 or 36.05% compared with the average balance of total deposits outstanding for 1993 of $124,588,000. The increases in deposits were due to pricing strategies designed to attract new deposits and the opening of new branches. F - 58 136 The following table sets forth certain information regarding Prairie Banks' average deposits as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

The Prairie Banks do not have and do not solicit brokered deposits. The following table sets forth the remaining maturities for time deposits of $100,000 or more at June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995: TIME DEPOSITS OF $100,000 OR MORE June 30, December 31, MATURITY RANGE 1996 1995 ---------- ------------ Three months or less $12,543,000 $15,871,000 Three through six months 8,629,000 3,754,000 Six through twelve months 2,047,000 5,346,000 Over twelve months 3,203,000 4,211,000 ----------- ----------- Total $26,422,000 $29,182,000 =========== =========== RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS The following are various ratios for Prairie for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS For the For the Six Months Years Ended Ended December 31, June 30, -------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 1993 ---------- ---- ---- ---- Return on average assets 0.44% 0.37% 0.36% 0.89% Return on average equity 8.44 7.96 10.81 26.92 Average equity to average assets 5.22 4.61 3.37 3.30 Dividend payout rates 62.17 58.45 43.77 5.03 LIQUIDITY The Prairie Banks' investment securities portfolios, including federal funds sold, and their cash and due from bank deposit balances serve as the primary sources of liquidity for Prairie. At June 30, 1996, 13.24% of Prairie Banks' interest-bearing liabilities were in the form of time deposits of $100,000 and over. Substantially all of such large deposits were obtained from the Prairie Banks' market areas and none of such deposits were brokered deposits. Management believes these deposits to be a stable source of funds. However, if a large number of these time deposits matured at approximately the same time and were not renewed, the Prairie Banks' liquidity could be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities of the Prairie Banks' large time deposits are spread throughout the year, with 47% maturing in the third quarter of 1996, 33% maturing in the fourth quarter of 1996, 8% maturing in the first and second quarter of 1997, and the remaining 12% maturing thereafter. The Prairie Banks monitor those maturities in an effort to minimize any adverse effect on liquidity. F - 60 138 Prairie raised $1,500,000 during 1995, $3,500,000 during 1994, and $1,092,000 during 1992 through the issuance of Preferred Stock for acquisition of additional shares of subsidiary banks and debt service. In the longer term, the liquidity of Prairie and its ability to meet its cash obligations will depend substantially on its receipt of dividends from the Prairie Banks, which are limited by banking statutes and regulation. See "Regulation and Supervision". CAPITAL RESOURCES Prairie's stockholders' equity at June 30, 1996 was $11.71 million compared with $11.84 million at December 31, 1995. The decrease in equity was the result of a decline in the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, partially offset by net income for the period. Prairie had consolidated net income of $497,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The Prairie Banks are expected to meet a minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%, of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in the form of Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%) may be in the form of Tier 1 (core) or Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. The amount of loan loss allowance that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The ratio of Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for the Prairie Banks were 13.82% and 14.76% respectively, at June 30, 1996, and 14.52% and 15.46%, respectively, at December 31, 1995. The Prairie Banks are currently, and expect to continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines. See "Regulation and Supervision -- Capital Adequacy Guidelines". The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has announced a policy sometimes known as the "source of strength doctrine" that requires a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. The FRB has interpreted this requirement to require that a bank holding company, such as Prairie, stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. The FRB has stated that it would generally view a failure to assist a troubled or failing subsidiary bank in these circumstances as an unsound or unsafe banking practice or a violation of Regulation Y or both, justifying a cease and desist order or other enforcement action, particularly if appropriate resources are available to the bank holding company on a reasonable basis. F - 61 139 The following table sets forth an analysis of Prairie Banks' capital ratios: RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS December 31, Minimum Well- June 30, ---------------------------------------- Capital Capitalized 1996 1995 1994 1993 Ratios Ratios ----------- ------------ ----------- ----------- ------- ----------- Tier I risk-based capital $11,546,000 $ 11,358,000 $ 9,115,000 $ 5,438,000 Tier II risk-based capital 784,000 741,000 715,000 771,000 Total capital 12,330,000 12,099,000 9,830,000 6,209,000 Risk-weighted assets 83,541,000 78,238,000 74,192,000 61,668,000 Capital ratios: Tier I risk- based capital 13.82% 14.52% 12.29% 8.82% 4.00% 6.00% Tier II risk- based capital 14.76 15.46 13.25 10.07 8.00 10.00 Leverage ratio 5.11 5.05 4.28 3.04 3.00 5.00 ACCOUNTING MATTERS In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors of Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures". Together, these statements require that when a loan is impaired, a creditor shall measure impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent or the loan's observable market price. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The new statements also require certain disclosures regarding impaired loans. Prairie adopted these statements effective January 1, 1995. The adoption of these accounting statements did not have a material effect on Prairie's consolidated financial position or results of operations since Prairie's recognition and measurement policies regarding nonperforming loans are materially consistent with the accounting statements. In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles that an entity expects to hold and use should be based on the fair value of the asset. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. F - 62 140 The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" which became effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities" to require that an entity recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others however those rights are acquired. An entity that acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained should allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. If it is not practicable to estimate the fair values separately, the entire cost of purchasing or originating the loans should be allocated to the mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) and no cost should be allocated to the mortgage servicing rights. This Statement also requires that an entity assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This Statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Entities electing to continue to use the method of accounting specified in Opinion 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and, if presented, earnings per share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in this Statement had been applied. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. IMPACT OF INFLATION, CHANGING PRICES AND MONETARY POLICIES The financial statements and related financial data concerning Prairie presented in this Prospectus have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of Prairie is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Prairie Banks, including the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and federal agencies, particularly the FRB.

F - 77 155 PRAIRIE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices prescribed for the banking industry. The significant accounting and reporting policies for Prairie Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries follow: Nature of business: Prairie Bancorp, Inc. is a six bank holding company. The Banks provide a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in the Northwestern Illinois area. The Banks are subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, Prairie Bancorp, Inc. and its Bank subsidiaries are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. Accounting estimates: In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Company management is required to make estimates and assumptions which significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates which are particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time include the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of real estate and other properties acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of amounts due from borrowers on loans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Prairie and its majority owned subsidiaries, First National Bank of Manlius (Manlius) (98.50% owned), Tampico National Bank (Tampico) (99.41% owned), Bank of Ladd (Ladd) (80% owned), Tiskilwa State Bank (Tiskilwa) (94.99% owned) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Farmers State Bank of Ferris (Ferris), and Hanover State Bank (Hanover), collectively referred to as the "Prairie Banks". All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Presentation of cash flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks include cash on hand and amounts due from banks, including cash items in process of clearing. Cash flows from loans originated by the subsidiary banks, deposits, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances are reported net. Investment securities: Prior to January 1, 1994, all debt securities were carried at amortized cost. Effective January 1, 1994, Prairie adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" and classified investments as held to maturity or available for sale. The effect of adopting Statement No. 115 on the accompanying balance sheet as of January 1, 1994 was an increase in stockholders' equity of $442,000 net of the related income tax effect of $228,000 to recognize the net unrealized gain in securities available for sale at that date. There were no investments held for trading purposes during 1994 and 1995. Securities classified as held to maturity are those for which the subsidiary bank's have the ability and intent to hold to maturity. Securities meeting such criteria at the date of purchase and as of the balance sheet date are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts computed using the interest method over their contractual lives. Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the subsidiary banks intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. The differences between fair value and cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, results in an unrealized gain or loss. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in stockholders' equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. Gains or losses from the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method. F - 78 156 PRAIRIE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pursuant to a FASB Special Report "A Guide to Implementation of Statement No. 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" Prairie transferred at fair value $21,387,000 of investment securities from held to maturity to available for sale on December 31, 1995 which increased stockholders' equity by $298,000 net of the related income tax effect of $154,000. Loans: Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned discount and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on all loans except installment loans is credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. Interest on installment loans is credited to income over the term of the loan using a method which approximates the interest method. Unearned discount on certain installment loans is credited to income over the term of the loan using the interest method. For all other loans, interest is credited to income as earned using the simple interest method applied to the daily balances of the principal outstanding. The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of interest or principal. Interest income on these loans is recognized to the extent interest payments are received and the principal is considered fully collectible. Allowance for loan losses: The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. The Prairie Banks make continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolios and consider current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance balance. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company Banks' allowances for loan losses, and may require additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. On January 1, 1995, Prairie adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", as amended by Statement No. 118, which requires loans to be considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due. The portion of the allowance for loan losses applicable to impaired loans has been computed based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of interest and principal discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The entire change in present value of expected cash flows of impaired loans is reported as bad debt expense in the same manner in which impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad debt expense that otherwise would be reported. The Company recognizes interest income on impaired loans on an accrual basis. Premises and equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line and declining balance methods over their estimated useful lives. Income taxes: Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. F - 79 157 PRAIRIE BANCORP, INC.

Current accounting developments: The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (Statement No. 121) which becomes effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. Statement No. 121 generally requires long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the entity should estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment is recognized. Management believes that adoption of this Statement will not have a material effect on Prairie's financial statements. F - 80 158 PRAIRIE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" (Statement No. 122) which becomes effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities" to require that an entity recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others, however those rights are acquired. An entity that acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained should allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. If it is not practicable to estimate the fair values separately, the entire cost of purchasing or originating the loans should be allocated to the mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) and no cost should be allocated to the mortgage servicing rights. This Statement also requires that an entity assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Management believes that adoption of this Statement will not have a material effect on Prairie's financial statements. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (Statement No. 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement No. 123 establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. Statement No. 123 permits the continued use of the intrinsic value method included in Accounting Principle Board Opinion 25 ("APB-25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, but regardless of the method used to account for the compensation cost associated with stock option or similar plans, it requires employers to disclose information required by Statement No. 123. Statement No. 123 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Prairie believes the adoption of Statement No. 123 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Earnings per share of common stock: Earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income, after deducting preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Federal regulatory agencies have adopted various capital standards for banks, including risk-based capital standards. The primary objectives of the risk-based capital framework are to provide a more consistent system for comparing capital positions of banks and to take into account the different risks among banks' assets and off-balance sheet items. Risk-based capital standards have been supplemented with requirements for a minimum Tier 1 capital to assets ratio (leverage ratio). In addition, regulatory agencies consider the published capital levels as minimum levels and may require banks to maintain capital at higher levels. A comparison of Prairie's and each of the Prairie Banks' capital as of December 31, 1995 with the minimum requirements is presented below: Minimum Prairie Requirements Bancorp, Inc. Manlius Tampico ------------ ------------- ------- ------- Tier 1 risk-based capital 4.00% 14.52% 13.67% 24.54% Total risk-based capital 8.00 15.46 14.31 25.70 Leverage ratio 3.00 5.05 6.56 6.77 Ladd Tiskilwa Ferris Hanover ------ -------- ------ ------- Tier 1 risk-based capital 17.87% 20.37% 16.74% 24.53% Total risk-based capital 18.50 21.52 17.51 25.78 Leverage ratio 7.04 6.83 5.70 8.10 According to Federal Reserve Board capital guidelines, Prairie is considered to be adequately capitalized. According to FDIC capital guidelines, the Prairie Banks are considered to be well capitalized. National bank regulations restrict the amount of dividends that may be paid by banks to their stockholders. Dividends declared by national banks that exceed the net income for the current year plus retained net income for the preceding two years must be approved by the Comptroller of the Currency. Under this formula, dividends of approximately $301,000 and $106,000 may be paid without prior regulatory approval by Manlius and Tampico, respectively. Regardless of formal regulatory restrictions, Prairie and the Prairie Banks may not pay dividends that would result in their capital levels being reduced below the minimum requirements shown above.

In the opinion of management, the terms of these loans, including interest rates and collateral, are similar to those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility. Changes in such loans during the year ended December 31, 1995 are as follows: Balance, beginning $ 1,455,000 New loans, extensions, and modifications 608,000 Repayments (1,205,000) ----------- Balance, ending $ 858,000 =========== NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various contingent liabilities such as claims and legal action, which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claims. The Prairie Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The Prairie Banks' exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of these instruments. The Prairie Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent credit risk are as follows: Unused lines of credit $4,598,000 Standby letters of credit 75,000 Unused lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. These agreements generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Prairie Banks evaluate each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Prairie Banks upon extension of credit is based upon management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Prairie Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and extend for no more than one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Prairie does not engage in the use of interest rate swaps or futures, forwards or option contracts. F - 90 168 PRAIRIE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Concentration of credit risk: The Prairie Banks grant commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers throughout the Prairie Banks' market areas which are primarily in the following Illinois counties: Banks County ----- ------ Manlius, Ladd and Tiskilwa Bureau Tampico Whiteside Ferris Hancock Hanover Jo Davies Although the Prairie Banks have diversified loan portfolios, a substantial portion of their debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the agribusiness and industrial economic sectors. The Prairie Banks' policy for requiring collateral is consistent with prudent lending practice and anticipates the potential for economic fluctuations. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. It is the policy of the Prairie Banks to file financing statements and mortgages covering collateral pledged. NOTES 16. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FASB Statement No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. These fair value disclosures are not intended to represent the market value of Prairie. The investment securities held to maturity and loan portfolios are intended to be held to maturity, and unrealized gains and losses are not intended to be realized. Income taxes and transaction costs have not been considered in estimating fair values. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and due from banks: For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Investment securities: For investment securities held to maturity and securities available for sale, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Federal funds sold: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. Loans: The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts, and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Federal funds purchased: The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. F - 91 169 PRAIRIE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Repurchase agreements: For short-term agreements, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For agreements with a term greater than six months, fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows using the rates currently offered for agreements of similar remaining maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances and note payable: The cash flows discounted at rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit: The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the commitment rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them. The estimated fair values of Prairie's financial instruments rounded to the nearest $1,000 are as follows: December 31, 1995 ------------------------------------ Carrying Amount Fair Value ----------- ----------- Financial assets: Cash and due from banks $ 4,458,000 $ 4,458,000 Investment securities: Held to maturity 103,826,000 101,623,000 Available for sale 42,499,000 42,499,000 Federal funds sold 2,045,000 2,045,000 Loans, net 66,392,000 66,167,000 Financial liabilities: Deposits 183,296,000 184,211,000 Federal funds purchased 275,000 275,000 Repurchase agreements 6,181,000 6,353,000 Federal Home Loan Bank advances and note payable 20,943,000 21,012,000 Unrecognized financial instruments: Commitments to extend credit - - Standby letters of credit - - In addition, other assets and liabilities of Prairie that are not defined as financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as property and equipment. Also, nonfinancial instruments typically not recognized in financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items. NOTE 17.

F - 93 171 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC. The following discussion provides additional information regarding the operations and financial condition of Country Bancshares, Inc. ("Country") for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of financial condition as of, and the results of operations, for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and accompanying notes included elsewhere in the Prospectus. GENERAL Country derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operations of its subsidiary, Omni Bank, which provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking services to businesses and individuals, primarily in the western Illinois area. As of June 30, 1996, Country had total assets of $103.2 million, net loans of $66.1 million, total deposits of $90.8 million and total stockholders' equity of $2.4 million. Country reported net income of $155,288 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with net income of $33,563 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 as a result of internal loan and deposit portfolio growth. On December 5, 1994, Country merged with Paloma Bancshares, Inc. and its two subsidiaries, Paloma Exchange Bank and First National Bank of Blandinsville. In conjunction with the merger, Paloma Bancshares, Inc. was merged into Country and Paloma Exchange Bank and First National Bank of Blandinsville were merged into Omni Bank. Country continues to actively serve the banking needs of these local communities, as it has served the local communities of its other branches. During 1995 and the first six months of 1996, Country substantially expanded its efforts to increase deposits, loans and total assets, and Country increased its emphasis on the Macomb market. Deposits grew from $58.9 million at the end of December 31, 1994 to $90.8 million at the end of June, 1996, a 54.1% increase. Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased from $37.6 million to $66.0 million, a 75.5% increase. During the same period, total assets grew from $64.2 million to $103.2 million, a 60.6% increase. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET INCOME Net income was $155,288 ($5.92 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with net income of $33,563 ($1.28 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $121,725 or 362.7%. Factors contributing to the increase in net income in 1996 compared with 1995 included growth in Country's loan and deposit portfolios and a gain of approximately $190,000 on the sale of a nonperforming loan. Net income was $208,598 for 1995 ($7.95 per share), compared with a net loss of $37,097 for 1994 ($3.57 per share). The net income per share in 1994 was affected by additional shares issued in December 1994 in connection with the acquisition of Paloma Bancshares. The $245,695 increase in net income for 1995 was attributable to an increase in net interest income resulting from growth in Country's loan and deposit portfolios. NET INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES Net income before income taxes was $225,288 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared with $51,563 for the first six months of 1995, an increase of $173,725 or 336.9%. F - 94 172 Net income before income taxes was $206,080 in 1995 compared with a net loss of $83,927 in 1994, an increase of $290,007 or 345.5%. The improvement in net income before income taxes for 1995 compared to 1994 was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income resulting from growth in Country's loan and deposit portfolios. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as interest rate margin or net interest margin, represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Country's principal interest-earning assets are loans, investment securities and federal funds sold. Net interest income was $1,368,378 for the first six months of 1996, an increase of $171,438 or 14.3% compared with the first six months of 1995, resulting principally from an increase in average total interest-earning assets from $66.9 million to $95.4 million, a significant portion of which was comprised of loans (typically the highest yielding asset). The increase in average total interest-earning assets was offset by an increase in interest-bearing liabilities from $60.3 million to $ 87.8 million, and a decrease in the net interest spread from 3.12% to 2.46% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The foregoing decrease resulted principally from the fact that the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased more than the yield on the interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets remained constant, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.95% to 5.64% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Net interest income was $2,497,754 for 1995, an increase of $478,869 or 23.7% compared with net interest income of $2,018,885 for 1994, which represented an increase of $79,893 or 4.1% compared with 1993. Country's average total interest-earning assets increased from approximately $51.8 million for 1994 to $73.8 million for 1995, representing a 42.5% increase resulting principally from an increase in loans. The net interest margin decreased to 3.39% for 1995 from 3.9% for 1994. The following table sets forth for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities the average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such amounts and the average rate paid for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on all interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities, the net interest spread and the net interest margin on average interest-earning assets for the same periods.

Loan fees were $261,239 and $155,034 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. F - 97 175 Country's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a "volume change". It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds referred to as a "rate change". The decline in the net yield on total interest-earning assets from 1995 through the first six months of 1996 resulted principally from an increase in investment securities as a percentage of total interest-earning assets, which produced a lower average rate of return for Country than loans. The following table reflects the changes in net interest income stemming from changes in interest rates and from asset and liability volume, including mix. The change in interest attributable to both rate and volume has been allocated to the changes in the rate and the volume on a pro rata basis.

F - 98 176 PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The amount of the provision for loan losses is based on periodic (not less than quarterly) evaluations of the loan portfolio, with particular attention directed toward nonperforming and other potential problem loans. During these evaluations, consideration is given to such factors as management's evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of nonperforming loans, historical loss experience, results of examinations by regulatory agencies, the market value of collateral, the strength and availability of guaranties, concentrations of credits, and other judgmental factors. Country recorded a $144,713 provision for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with no provision during the first six months of 1995. As Country's ratio of net charge-offs to average loans increased slightly during 1996, additional amounts were provided to compensate for ongoing growth in the loan portfolio in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. The 1995 provision for loan losses was $40,200 compared with $15,800 in 1994. The increase in the 1995 provision occurred as a result of the 40.2% growth in average loans outstanding. NONINTEREST INCOME The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Six Months Ended Years Ended June 30, December 31, ------------------ ------------------ 1996 1995 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- -------- Noninterest income Service charges $311,050 $220,024 $494,659 $379,881 Securities gains, net - - 5,730 - Other 290,439 34,846 88,346 18,346 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total noninterest income $601,489 $254,870 $588,735 $398,227 ======== ======== ======== ======== Noninterest income is generated primarily from fees associated with noninterest and interest-bearing accounts. Noninterest income for the first six months of 1996 was $601,489, an increase of $346,619 or 136% compared with noninterest income of $254,870 for the first six months of 1995. The growth of Omni Bank during 1996 increased the number and balance of noninterest and interest-bearing accounts, which resulted in increased noninterest income. Other noninterest income was $290,439 for the first six months of 1996, an increase of $255,593 compared with other noninterest income of $34,846 for the first six months of 1995. The increase in other noninterest income is primarily due to a gain of approximately $190,000 on the sale of a nonperforming loan. Noninterest income was $588,735 for 1995, an increase of $190,508 or 47.8% compared with noninterest income of $398,227 for 1994. Noninterest income increased from 1994 to 1995 in all categories, primarily as a result of the growth of Omni Bank's noninterest and interest-bearing accounts. F - 99 177 NONINTEREST EXPENSE The following table sets forth the various categories of noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Six Months Ended Years Ended June 30, December 31, ----------------------- ---------------------- 1996 1995 1995 1994 ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Salaries and wages $ 783,244 $ 632,073 $1,317,433 $1,138,623 Employee benefits 72,414 104,955 193,329 201,804 Occupancy and equipment 236,884 214,829 492,966 400,992 FDIC assessment (120) 78,017 84,524 97,558 Other expenses: Legal 108,288 23,062 28,720 26,850 Stationary, supplies and printing 50,177 43,026 76,834 71,671 Telephone 34,577 38,025 56,367 65,309 Postage 48,186 36,838 74,081 68,317 Correspondent bank charges 40,719 36,050 74,926 42,178 Directors fees 13,050 16,845 38,230 66,900 Amortization 8,149 8,176 16,325 3,851 Other 204,298 168,351 386,474 301,186 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total other expenses 507,444 370,373 751,957 646,262 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total noninterest expense $1,599,866 $1,400,247 $2,840,209 $2,485,239 ========== ========== ========== ========== Noninterest expense was $1,599,866 for the first six months of 1996, an increase of $199,619 or 14.3% compared with noninterest expense of $1,400,247 for the first six months of 1995. The growth of Omni Bank resulted in additional personnel, occupancy and office expenses. Deposits held by Omni Bank are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and as FDIC-insured institutions, the Omni Banks are required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The amount an institution pays for FDIC deposit insurance coverage is determined in accordance with a risk-based assessment system under which each insured depository institution is placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon its level of capital and the results of supervisory evaluations. The FDIC has issued refunds to the best-rated institutions for assessment which exceeded the recapitalization requirements of the BIF. The Omni Banks received a total refund from the FDIC of approximately $41,000. The change in the deposit insurance assessment rate is expected to significantly reduce the cost of deposit insurance for the Omni Banks. See "Regulation and Supervision--The Bank Subsidiaries--Deposit Insurance". Noninterest expense was $2,840,209 for 1995, an increase of $354,970 or 14.3% compared with noninterest expense of $2,485,239 for 1994. The increase in noninterest expense for 1995 from 1994 was attributable to a 12.7% increase in salaries and employee benefits and a 22.9% increase in occupancy expenses. The increase in salaries and benefits and occupancy expenses were due primarily to additional staffing associated with Omni Bank's loan and deposit growth. F - 100 178 INCOME TAXES Country has recognized an income tax expense of $70,000 on income before income taxes of $225,288 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an effective tax rate of 31.1%, as compared with an income tax expense of $18,000 on income before income taxes of $51,563 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an effective tax rate of 34.9%. Country recognized income tax benefits of $2,518 and $46,830 on income before income taxes of $206,080 and loss before income taxes of $83,927 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Effective tax benefits were 1.2% and 55.8% for those years. - Country's effective tax rates varied from the statutory tax rate primarily due to interest income on municipal investments, which is exempt from federal income tax. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT The operating income and net income of Omni Bank depend, to a substantial extent, on "rate differentials", i.e., the differences between the income Omni Bank receives from loans, securities and other earning assets, and the interest expense it pays to obtain deposits and other liabilities. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of Omni Bank, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. See "Investment Considerations--Impact of Interest Rates and Economic Conditions". The objective of monitoring and managing the interest rate risk position of the balance sheet is to contribute to earnings and to minimize the adverse changes in net interest income. The potential for earnings to be affected by changes in interest rates is inherent in a financial institution. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and changes in net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. An asset sensitive position in a given period will result in more assets being subject to repricing; therefore, as interest rates rise, such a position will have a positive effect on net interest income. Conversely, in a liability sensitive position, where liabilities reprice more quickly than assets in a given period, a rise in interest rates will have an adverse effect on net interest income. One way to analyze interest rate risk is to evaluate the balance of Country's interest rate sensitivity position. A mix of assets and liabilities that are roughly equal in volume and term and repricing represents a matched interest rate sensitivity position. Any excess of assets or liabilities in a particular period results in an interest rate sensitivity gap. The following table presents the interest rate sensitivity for Country's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 1996: F - 101 179 INTEREST-RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 3 months 3 months to 6 months 1 year to or less 6 months to 1 year 5 years Over 5 years Total ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------ ----------- Interest-earning assets: Federal funds sold $ 2,075,000 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 2,075,000 Investment securities 2,599,694 2,076,413 2,770,500 18,597,017 87,000 26,130,624 Loans 9,070,263 3,750,900 10,996,561 19,295,000 24,081,333 67,194,057 Other interest-earning assets - - - - 714,300 714,300 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- ----------- Interest-earning assets $ 13,744,957 $ 5,827,313 $ 13,767,061 $ 37,892,017 $24,882,633 $96,113,981 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- ----------- Interest-bearing liabilities: Interest-bearing demand deposits $ 9,921,512 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 9,921,512 Savings deposits 4,320,923 - - - - 4,320,923 Time deposits 15,699,200 16,744,700 25,510,355 8,157,100 - 66,111,355 Notes payable and other borrowings 3,550,000 - - 700,000 4,300,000 8,550,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- ----------- Interest-bearing liabilities $ 33,491,635 $ 16,744,700 $ 25,510,355 $ 8,857,100 $ 4,300,000 $88,903,790 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- ----------- Period interest sensitivity gap $(19,746,678) $(10,917,387) $(11,743,294) $ 29,034,917 $20,582,633 $ 7,210,191 ============ ============ ============ ============ =========== =========== Cumulative interest sensitivity gap $(19,746,678) $(30,664,065) $(42,407,359) $(13,372,442) $ 7,210,191 ============ ============ ============ ============ =========== Cumulative gap as a percentage of total assets (19.14)% (29.72)% (41.10)% (12.96) 6.99% ============ ============ ============ ============ =========== Cumulative interest-sensitive assets as a percentage of cumulative interest-sensitive liabilities 41.0% 39.0% 44.0% 84.2% 108.1% ============ ============ ============ ============ =========== The cumulative rate-sensitive gap position at one year was a liability-sensitive position of $42.4 million, or negative 41.1%, which indicates that Country was in a liability interest rate-sensitive position at June 30, 1996. Accordingly, Country's earnings could experience a significant negative impact from increases in interest rates. Country undertakes this interest rate-sensitivity analysis to monitor the potential risk to future earnings from the impact of possible future changes in interest rates on currently existing net assets or net liability positions. However, this type of analysis is as of a point-in-time, when in fact Country's interest rate sensitivity can quickly change as market conditions, customer needs and management strategies change. Thus, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Country is not involved in the purchase of derivative financial instruments or structured notes. The preceding table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on Country's net interest income because the repricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competitive and other pressures. F - 102 180 ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION LOANS AND ASSET QUALITY Country's loans are diversified by borrower and industry group. Loan growth has occurred every year over the past two years and can be attributed to mergers, increased loan demand and the addition of new lending products. The following table describes the composition of loans by major categories outstanding at June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

Many of these loans are made on a short-term basis with the possibility of renewal at time of maturity. All loans, however, are reviewed on a continuous basis for creditworthiness. NONPERFORMING ASSETS Country's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income on its loan portfolio, unless a loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis. Loans are placed on a nonaccrual basis when there are serious doubts regarding the collectibility of all principal and interest due under the terms of the loan. Amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied first to principal and then to interest after all principal has been collected. It is the policy of Omni Bank not to renegotiate the terms of a loan because of a delinquent status. Rather, a loan is generally transferred to nonaccrual status if it is not in the process of collection and is delinquent in payment of either principal or interest beyond 90 days. Other nonperforming assets consist of real estate acquired through loan foreclosures or other workout situations and other assets acquired through repossessions. The following table summarizes nonperforming assets by category as of June 30, 1996 and as of December 31, 1995 and 1994: NONPERFORMING ASSETS December 31, June 30, ------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ---------- -------- -------- Nonaccrual loans (1) $1,315,271 $402,000 $365,120 Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest 293,835 138,377 223,139 ---------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming loans 1,609,106 540,377 588,259 Other real estate owned and other assets 69,084 53,707 53,036 ---------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming assets $1,678,190 $594,084 $641,295 ========== ======== ======== Nonperforming assets to total assets 1.63% 0.61% 1.00% Nonperforming loans to total loans 2.39 0.95 1.54 (1) Includes loans of $1,246,019, $225,000 and $225,000 at June 30, 1996, December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, that will be sold to the shareholders of Country as part of the acquisition. The classification of a loan on nonaccrual status does not necessarily indicate that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in part. A determination as to collectibility is made by Omni Bank on a case-by-case basis. Omni Bank considers both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans. The final determination as to these steps is made on a case-by-case basis. Alternatives that are considered are foreclosure, collecting on guarantees, restructuring the loan or collection lawsuits. F - 105 183 On January 1, 1995, Country adopted guidelines for impaired loans required by Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not significantly impact the comparability of the allowance related tables of Country included in this prospectus. The following table sets forth a summary of other real estate owned and other collateral acquired as of June 30, 1996: OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED & OTHER COLLATERAL ACQUIRED Number of Parcels/ Net Book Description Autos Carrying Value - ------------------------------------- -------------- Developed property 2 $ 37,379 Vacant land or unsold lots 1 3,857 Repossessed automobiles 14 27,848 --------- -------------- 17 $ 69,084 ========= ============== ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES In originating loans, management of Country recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for such loan. The allowance for loan losses represents Country's estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for losses incurred in the loan portfolio. In making this determination, Country analyzes the ultimate collectibility of Country's loan portfolio, incorporating feedback provided by internal loan staff and provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies. Country makes an ongoing evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. To establish the appropriate level of the allowance, all loans (including nonperforming loans), commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are reviewed and classified as to potential loss exposure. Specific allowances are then established for those loans, commitments to extend credit or standby letters of credit with identified loss exposure and an additional allowance is maintained based upon the size, quality, and concentration characteristics of the remaining loan portfolio using both historical quantitative trends and Country's evaluation of qualitative factors including future economic and industry outlooks. The determination by Country of the appropriate level of the allowance amount was $500,318 at June 30, 1996. The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed monthly and as adjustments, either positive or negative, become necessary they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. The following table presents a detailed analysis of Country's allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

Management of Country believes that any allocation of the allowance for loan losses into categories lends an appearance of precision which does not exist. The allowance is utilized as a single unallocated allowance available for all loans. The following allocation table should not be interpreted as an indication of the specific amounts or the relative proportion of future charges to the allowance and has been derived by applying a general allowance to the portfolio as a whole, in addition to specific allowance amounts for internally classified loans. In retrospect, the specific allocation in any particular category may prove excessive or inadequate and consequently may be reallocated in the future to reflect the then current condition. Accordingly, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses in any category.

Country's financial planning anticipates income streams based on normal maturity and reinvestment. The short duration of the portfolio provides adequate liquidity through normal maturities. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are purchased with the intent to provide liquidity and to increase returns. The securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Country currently does not have any securities classified as held-to-maturity or trading. Prior to January 1, 1994, all debt securities were carried at amortized cost. Effective January 1, 1994, Country adopted SFAS No. 115, and classified investments as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale.

F - 110 188 DEPOSIT ACTIVITIES Deposits are attracted through the offering of a broad variety of deposit instruments, including checking accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, term certificate accounts (including "jumbo" certificates in denominations of $100,000 or more), and retirement savings plans. Country's average balance of total deposits was $91,119,006 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, representing an increase of $17,317,502 or 23.5% compared with the average balance of total deposits for the year ended December 31, 1995. Country's average balance of total deposits was $73,801,504 for the year ended 1995, an increase of $20,292,619 or 37.9% compared with the average balance of total deposits outstanding for 1994 of $53,508,885. The increases in deposits were due to internally generated growth. F - 111 189 The following table sets forth certain information regarding Omni Bank's average deposits as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and 1994.

Omni Bank does not have and does not solicit brokered deposits. The following table sets forth the remaining maturities for time deposits of $100,000 or more at June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995: TIME DEPOSITS OF $100,000 OR MORE June 30, December 31, MATURITY RANGE 1996 1995 ----------- ----------- Three months or less $ 3,235,709 $ 3,650,267 Three through six months 2,347,481 1,459,803 Six through twelve months 3,800,292 3,563,272 Over twelve months 1,649,225 1,389,404 ----------- ----------- Total $11,032,707 $10,062,746 =========== =========== RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS The following are various ratios for Country for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS For the Six Months For the Years Ended Ended December 31, June 30, ---------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ---------- ------------- ------------- Return on average assets 0.30% 0.26% (0.06)% Return on average equity 12.78 8.94 (1.79) Average equity to average assets 2.39 2.90 3.53 Dividend payout rates on common stock 0.00 0.00 0.00 LIQUIDITY Omni Bank's investment securities portfolio, including federal funds sold, and its cash and due from bank deposit balances serve as the primary sources of liquidity. At June 30, 1996, 11.1% of Omni Bank's interest-bearing liabilities were in the form of time deposits of $100,000 and over. Substantially all of such large deposits were obtained from Omni Bank's market area and none of such deposits were brokered deposits. Management believes these deposits to be a stable source of funds. However, if a large number of these time deposits matured at approximately the same time and were not renewed, Omni Bank's liquidity could be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities of Omni Bank's large time deposits are spread throughout the year, with 29.3% maturing in the third quarter of 1996, 21.3% maturing in the fourth quarter of 1996, 34.4% maturing in the first and second quarter of 1997, and the remaining 15.0% maturing thereafter. Omni Bank monitors those maturities in an effort to minimize any adverse effect on liquidity. F - 113 191 In the longer term, the liquidity of Country and its ability to meet its cash obligations will depend substantially on its receipt of dividends from Omni Bank, which are limited by banking statutes and regulation. See "Supervision and Regulation". CAPITAL RESOURCES Country's stockholders' equity at June 30, 1996 was $2.4 million, compared with $2.5 million at December 31, 1995. The decrease in equity has been the result of the retention of earnings offset by the equity effect of unrealized losses on securities available for sale of $177,120. Country had consolidated net income of $155,288 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Omni Bank is expected to meet a minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%, of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in the form of Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%) may be in the form of Tier 1 (core) or Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. The amount of loan loss allowance that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The ratio of Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for Omni Bank were 10.51% and 11.30%, respectively, at June 30, 1996, and 11.44% and 12.20%, respectively, at December 31, 1995. Omni Bank is currently, and expects to continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines. See "Supervision and Regulation-- The Bank Subsidiaries--Capital Requirements". The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has announced a policy sometimes known as the "source of strength doctrine" that requires a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. The FRB has interpreted this requirement to require that a bank holding company, such as Country, stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. The FRB has stated that it would generally view a failure to assist a troubled or failing subsidiary bank in these circumstances as an unsound or unsafe banking practice or a violation of Regulation Y or both, justifying a cease and desist order or other enforcement action, particularly if appropriate resources are available to the bank holding company on a reasonable basis. The requirement that a bank holding company, such as Country, make its assets and resources available to a failing subsidiary bank could have an adverse effect upon Country and its stockholders. F - 114 192 The following table sets forth an analysis of Omni Bank's capital ratios: RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS December 31, Minimum Well- June 30, ------------------------- Capital Capitalized 1996 1995 1994 Ratios Ratios ----------- ----------- ----------- ------- ----------- Tier I risk-based capital $ 6,622,354 $ 6,390,183 $ 4,221,850 Tier II risk-based capital 500,318 420,426 329,251 Total capital 7,122,672 6,810,609 4,551,101 Risk-weighted assets 63,005,853 55,843,031 37,038,615 Capital ratios: Tier I risk-based capital 10.51% 11.44% 11.40% 4.00% 6.00% Tier II risk-based capital 11.30 12.20 12.29 8.00 10.00 Leverage ratio 6.41 6.61 6.78 4.00 5.00 ACCOUNTING MATTERS In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors of Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures". Together, these statements require that when a loan is impaired, a creditor shall measure impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent or the loan's observable market price. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The new statements also require certain disclosures regarding impaired loans. Country adopted these statements effective January 1, 1995. The adoption of these accounting statements did not have a material effect on Country's consolidated financial position or results of operations since Country's recognition and measurement policies regarding nonperforming loans are materially consistent with the accounting statements. In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of". This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles that an entity expects to hold and use should be based on the fair value of the asset. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. F - 115 193 The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" which became effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities" to require that an entity recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others however those rights are acquired. An entity that acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained should allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. If it is not practicable to estimate the fair values separately, the entire cost of purchasing or originating the loans should be allocated to the mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) and no cost should be allocated to the mortgage servicing rights. This Statement also requires that an entity assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This Statement defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Entities electing to continue to use the method of accounting specified in Opinion 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and, if presented, earnings per share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in this Statement had been applied. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. IMPACT OF INFLATION, CHANGING PRICES AND MONETARY POLICIES The financial statements and related financial data concerning Country presented in this Prospectus have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary effect of inflation on the operations of Country is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of Country, including the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and federal agencies, particularly the FRB.

F - 128 206 COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices prescribed for the banking industry. The significant accounting and reporting policies for Country Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary ("Country"), follow: Nature of Business Through its subsidiary, Omni Bank ("Omni Bank"), Country provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in its five locations in the western Illinois area. Country is subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products. Additionally, Country and Omni Bank are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Country and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Omni Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of accounting In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Country management is required to make estimates and assumptions which significantly affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates which are particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time include the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of real estate and other properties acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of amounts due from borrowers on loans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Securities held to maturity Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities Country has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed using the interest method over their contractual lives. (Continued) F - 129 207 COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities available for sale Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that Country intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of Country's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. The difference between fair value and cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, results in an unrealized gain or loss. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in stockholders' equity, net of the related deferred income tax effect. Gains or losses from the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method . Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed using the interest method, are recognized in interest income using the interest method over their contractual lives. Loans Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned interest and the allowance for loan losses. Unearned interest on certain installment loans is credited to income over the term of the loan using the interest method. For all other loans, interest is credited to income as earned using the simple interest method applied to the daily balances of the principal outstanding. Country's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of interest or principal. Interest income on these loans is recognized to the extent interest payments are received and the principal is considered fully collectible. Allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. The evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review Omni Bank's allowance for loan losses, and may require Omni Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. (Continued) F - 130 208 COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On January 1, 1995, Country adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 114 (Statement No. 114), "Accounting by Creditors for the Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118, which requires loans to be considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Omni Bank will not be able to collect all amounts due. The portion of the allowance for loan losses applicable to impaired loans has been computed based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of interest and principal discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The entire change in present value of expected cash flows of impaired loans or of collateral value is reported as bad debt expense in the same manner in which impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad debt expense that otherwise would be reported. Premises and equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Deferred income taxes Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Per share data Earnings per share of common stock are calculated on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Statements of cash flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks include cash on hand and amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing).

Statement No. 121 generally requires long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the entity should estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (discounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment is recognized. Management believes that adoption of this Statement will not have a material effect on Country's financial statements. Accounting for mortgage servicing rights In May 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" (Statement No. 122). Statement No. 122 requires Omni Bank to recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired. If Omni Bank acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained, Omni Bank should allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans to mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. The mortgage servicing rights should be amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Statement No. 122 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. Country believes the adoption of Statement No. 122 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Stock Based Compensation In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (Statement No. 123). Statement No. 123 establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments. Statement No. 123 permits the continued use of the intrinsic value method included in Accounting Principle Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", but regardless of the method used to account for the compensation cost associated with stock option or similar plans, it requires employers to disclose information required by Statement No. 123. Statement No. 122 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995. Country believes the adoption of Statement No. 122 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS Omni Bank is required to maintain legal reserves composed of funds on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank and cash on hand. The required balances as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, were $361,000 and $25,000, respectively. (Continued) F - 132 210 COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 3. SECURITIES Country adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (Statement No. 115) as of January 1, 1994. Country elected to classify its entire portfolio as held to maturity and therefore the financial statements were not affected by adopting Statement No. 115. In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to allow all enterprises to make a one-time reassessment of the classification of securities made under Statement No. 115. These transfers were only allowed during the period from the issuance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Special Report through December 31, 1995. Country transferred its entire security portfolio, with an amortized cost of $21,431,021, from the held to maturity classification to the available for sale classification and recorded, as a component of equity, an unrealized gain of $49,038, net of $31,090 of deferred taxes, to allow for more flexibility in managing Country's asset mix. Amortized costs and fair values of securities are summarized as follows: AVAILABLE FOR SALE December 31, 1995 ------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------ U.S. Treasury $ 12,858,183 $ 75,043 $ 4,835 $ 12,928,391 U.S. Government agencies and corporations 9,373,853 63,797 34,087 9,403,563 States and political subdivisions 261,468 1,907 - 263,375 Mortgage backed securities 34,390 142 - 34,532 ------------ ---------- ---------- ------------ $ 22,527,894 $ 140,889 $ 38,922 $ 22,629,861 ============ ========== ========== ============ HELD TO MATURITY December 31, 1994 ------------------------------------------------- Gross Gross Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------ U.S. Treasury $ 9,464,335 $ - $ 184,929 $ 9,279,406 U.S. Government agencies and corporations 2,634,794 6,456 34,343 2,606,907 States and political subdivisions 875,372 13,845 1,750 887,467 Mortgage backed securities 515,897 25,848 - 541,745 ------------ ---------- ---------- ------------ $ 13,490,398 $ 46,149 $ 221,022 $ 13,315,525 ============ ========== ========== ============ (Continued) F - 133 211 COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The amortized cost and fair value of securities classified as available for sale at December 31, 1995, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

These estimates are affected by changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers. The following table presents data on impaired loans at December 31, 1995: Impaired loans for which an allowance has been provided $ - Impaired loans for which an allowance has not been provided 389,297 --------------- Total loans determined to be impaired $ 389,297 =============== Allowance for loan loss for impaired loans included in the allowance for loan losses $ - =============== Average recorded investment in impaired loans $ 212,932 =============== Interest income recognized from impaired loans $ - =============== Cash basis interest income recognized from impaired loans $ 400 =============== Loans on which the accrual of interest had been discontinued or reduced amounted to $369,104 at December 31, 1994, which had the effect of reducing interest income approximately $35,000. Country and Omni Bank conduct most of their business activities, including granting agribusiness, commercial, residential and installment loans with customers in the counties of McDonough, Adams, Pike, and Schuyler, Illinois and Marion, Missouri. The loan portfolio includes a concentration of loans to agricultural and agricultural-related industries amounting to approximately $15,105,000 and $12,200,000 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Generally those loans are collateralized by assets of those entities. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. Credit losses arising from lending transactions with agricultural entities compare favorably with the Omni Bank's credit loss experience on the loan portfolio as a whole. (Continued) F - 135 213 COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the normal course of business, loans are made to executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders of Country and Omni Bank and to parties which Country or its directors, executive officers and stockholders have the ability to significantly influence its management or operations (related parties). In the opinion of management, the terms of these loans, including interest rates and collateral, are similar to those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility. Changes in such loans during the year ended December 31, 1995 follow: Balance at the beginning of year $ 1,100,000 New loans, extensions and modifications 505,000 Repayments (391,000) -------------- Balance at end of year $ 1,214,000 ============== NOTE 5.

The carryforwards expire in the years 2002 through 2009. NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (Statement No. 107), requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of Country. The following methods and assumptions were used by Country in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and due from banks The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks approximate their fair values. (Continued) F - 139 217 COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal funds sold The stated carrying amounts of federal funds sold approximate their fair values. Securities Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Loans For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Off-balance-sheet instruments Fair values for Country's off-balance-sheet instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of these items is not material. Deposit liabilities The fair values for demand deposits equal their carrying amounts, which represents the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. Long term and short term borrowings Rates currently available to Country for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt. (Continued) F - 140 218 COUNTRY BANCSHARES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The estimated fair values of Country's financial instruments were as follows: December 31, 1995 ------------------------ Carrying Fair Amount Value ----------- ----------- Financial Assets: Cash and due from banks $ 2,214,864 $ 2,214,864 Federal funds sold 10,045,000 10,045,000 Securities 22,629,861 22,629,861 Loans 56,177,110 56,213,470 Financial Liabilities: Deposits 86,546,471 86,586,498 Short term borrowings 3,550,000 3,550,000 Long term borrowings 2,700,000 2,700,000 In addition, other assets and liabilities of Country that are not defined as financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as property and equipment. Also, nonfinancial instruments typically not recognized in financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential of loan servicing rights, the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items. NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CREDIT RISK In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various contingent liabilities such as claims and legal actions, which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claims. Omni Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. Country's exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit written, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Omni Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At December 31, 1995, loan commitments, including standby letters of credit, approximated $ 9,975,700, substantially all of which are variable rate commitments. Country does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments. Country has employment agreements with its executive officers and certain other management personnel. These agreements generally continue until terminated by the executive or Country and provide for continued salary and benefits to the executive under certain circumstances. The agreements provide the employees with additional rights after a change of control of Country occurs.

UNDERTAKINGS (a) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective. (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
