Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of
UnionBancorp, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for
interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and
recurring adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the results for the
interim periods presented have been included. The preparation of financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
recorded amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. For further information with respect to significant
accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its
consolidated financial statements, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. The annualized results of operations
during the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2001.

Note 2.  Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect
of the stock options. Computations for basic and diluted earnings per share are
provided below:

There were approximately 103,600 options outstanding at June 30, 2001 that were
not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common
stock and were, therefore, antidilutive.

Note 3.  Securities

The Company's securities portfolio, which represented 28.0% of the Company's
average earning asset base as of June 30, 2001, is managed to minimize interest
rate risk, maintain sufficient liquidity, and maximize return. The consolidated
securities portfolio includes several callable agency debentures, adjustable
rate mortgage pass-throughs, and collateralized mortgage obligations with
implied calls. The following table describes the amortized cost and fair value
of securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000:

Note 7.  Segment Information

The Company's operations are managed along two major operating segments: banking
and other. Loans, investments, deposits, and mortgage banking provide the
revenues in the banking segment. Insurance, brokerage, trust, data processing,
and holding company services are categorized as other segments. All
inter-segment services provided are charged at the same rates as those charged
to unaffiliated customers. Such services are included in the revenues and net
income of the respective segments and are eliminated to arrive at consolidated
totals.

The accounting policies used are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies. Information reported for internal performance
assessment is summarized below:

Note 8.  New Accounting Standards

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 141, "Business Combinations", which
requires that all business combinations be accounted for under a single method,
the purchase method. Use of the pooling-of-interests method is no longer
permitted. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method be used for business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Since this accounting standard
applies to business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, it will have no
effect on the Company's financial statements unless the Company enters into a
business combination transaction.

                                       8.

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In July 2001, the FASB also issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets", which requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but
instead be reviewed for impairment. The amortization of goodwill ceases upon
adoption of the Statement, which for most companies, will be January 1, 2002.
The Company is currently studying the requirements of this new accounting
standard to determine the impact to the financial statements.

identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate," or "project" or similar expressions. The Company's
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is
inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the
operations and future prospects of the Company and the subsidiaries include, but
are not limited to, changes in: interest rates; general economic conditions;
legislative/regulatory changes; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve
Board; the quality and composition of the loan or securities portfolios; demand
for loan products; deposit flows; competition; demand for financial services in
the Company's market areas; the Company's implementation of new technologies;
the Company's ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic
systems; and accounting principles, policies, and guidelines. These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and
undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information
concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could
materially affect the Company's financial results, is included in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General

The Company derives most of its revenues and income from the operations of its
banking subsidiaries (the "Banks"), but also derives revenue from its nonbank
subsidiaries, UnionFinancial Services Inc., UnionData Corp, Inc., and UnionTrust
Corporation. The Banks provide a full range of commercial and consumer banking
services to businesses and individuals, primarily in north central and west
central Illinois, while the nonbanks provide insurance, brokerage, asset
management, trust and data processing service to the same regions.

Results of Operations

Net Income. Net income equaled $1,585 or $0.38 per fully diluted share for the
three months ended June 30, 2001. This compares favorably with net income of
$1,088 or $0.26 per fully diluted share for the same period in 2000 and
represents a 46.2% increase in per share earnings and a 45.7% increase in net
income.

The quarter over quarter core increase in net income was primarily the result of
several factors. These include improvements in noninterest income associated
with revenue generated from the mortgage banking division, gain on sale of
securities, an improvement in net interest income, and a decrease in the
provision for loan losses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net income equaled $3,120 or $0.75 per
fully diluted share compared with net income of $2,086 or $0.49 per fully
diluted share earned in the same period in 2000. This represents a 53.1%
increase in per share earnings and a 49.6% increase in net income.

As previously reported, the 2000 earnings included a one-time severance expense
associated with the resignation of the Company's former chief executive officer.
Excluding the effect of these expenditures from 2000 (approximately $290, net of
taxes), the Company's six months earnings would have equaled $2,375 or $0.56 per
fully diluted share.

Return on average assets was 0.84% for the second quarter of 2001 compared to
the 0.62% for the same period in 2000. Return on average assets was 0.83% for
the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to 0.60% for the same period in
2000.

Return on average stockholders' equity was 10.16% for the second quarter of 2001
compared to 7.88% for the same period in 2000. Return on average stockholders'
equity was 10.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to 7.54% for
the same period in 2000. Return on average tangible equity capital equaled
12.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to 10.36% for the same
period in 2000.

Cash Earnings. In addition to the traditional measurement of net income, the
Company also calculates cash earnings which exclude the after-tax effect of
purchase accounting adjustments and the effect such adjustments had on
profitability. Management believes the reporting of cash earnings along with
GAAP earnings provides further insight into the Company's operating performance.
Cash diluted earnings per share, cash return on average assets, and cash return
on average equity capital are detailed as follows:

Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between income earned
on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred for the funding
sources used to finance these assets. Changes in net interest income generally
occur due to fluctuations in the volume of earning assets and paying liabilities
and rates earned and paid, respectively, on those assets and liabilities. The
net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as net interest
margin, represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning
assets. Net interest margin measures how efficiently the Company uses its
earning assets and underlying capital. The Company's long term objective is to
manage those assets and liabilities to provide the largest possible amount of
income while balancing interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risks. For
purposes of this discussion, both net interest income and margin have been
adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt securities and
loans.

Net interest income was $6,393 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001,
compared with net interest income of $6,270 earned during the same period in
2000. This represented a increase of $123 and was primarily attributable to a
$44,850 increase in the volume of average earning assets. This increase was
partially offset by a rise in the cost of funds due to increased competition for
deposits during 2000 that have not yet repriced and a 12 basis point decrease in
rates earned on loans due to competitive pressures, overall tightening of loan
underwriting standards, and slower than expected loan growth.

The quarter over quarter net interest income increase resulted from higher
interest income of $632 offset by a $509 increase in interest expense. Further
breaking down the change, approximately 73% was related to an increase in volume
and 27% was related to a decrease in rate. The change in interest income
resulted from a $818 increase associated with volume offset by a $186 decrease
associated with rate. The majority of the change in interest income was related
to increases of $21,009 in the volume of average loans and $21,274 in the volume
of average securities. The change in interest expense resulted from a $625
increase associated with volume offset by a $116 associated with rate. The
majority of the change was associated with a increase of $25,796 in the average
balance of time deposits and an increase of 17 basis points in the rate paid on
total time deposits.

During the second quarter of 2001, the net interest margin on a tax equivalent
basis decreased 18 basis points to 3.65% compared to 3.83% earned during the
same period in 2000. The Company's net interest margin was compressed due to
escalating contractual interest rates paid on deposits and Federal Home Loan

                                       12.

Bank advances from previous quarters which have not matured as interest rates
began their recent decline. Competitive pressures that made it difficult to
achieve commensurate pricing in loan yields and the cost of carrying a higher
level of nonperforming loans also contributed to the decrease. Yields on
interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2001 decreased 19 basis points
to 8.10% as compared to the prior year's quarter of 8.29%. In contrast, rates
paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2001 decreased
only 2 basis points to 5.08% as compared to the prior year's quarter of 5.10%.

With a lower interest rate environment during the first half of 2001 sparking a
slow but steady recovery in the margin, the net interest margin during the
second quarter of 2001 increased 14 basis points over the first quarter of 2001
mostly driven by a decrease in total funding costs.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 totaled $12,488,
representing a decrease of $132 or 1.0% over the $12,620 earned during the same
period in 2000. This compression in net interest income was attributable to
higher interest income of $1,871 offset by higher interest expense of $2,003.
The net interest margin for the first six months of 2001 decreased to 3.58%
compared to 3.87% for the same period in 2000.

The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as
"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 "rate change." The following table details each
category of average amounts outstanding for interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, average rate earned on all interest-earning
assets, average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities, and the net yield
on average interest-earning assets for the same period. In addition, the 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.

UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
(In Thousands, Except Share Data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Provision for Loan Losses. The amount of the provision for loan losses is based
on management's monthly evaluations of the loan portfolio, with particular
attention directed toward nonperforming and other potential problem loans.
During these evaluations, consideration is also given to such factors as
management's evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of impaired
and other nonperforming loans, historical loss experience, results of
examinations by regulatory agencies, an internal asset quality review process,
the market value of collateral, the estimate of discounted cash flows, the
strength and availability of guaranties, concentrations of credits, and other
factors.

Along with other financial institutions, management shares a concern for the
possible continued softening of the economy in 2001. Should the economic climate
continue to deteriorate, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of
nonperforming loans, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise and require
further increases in the provision.

The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense for the second
quarter of 2001 totaled $366 compared with $653 in 2000. Net charge-offs for the
second quarter of 2001 were $1,157 compared with $726 in 2000. The increase in
net charge-offs was largely the result of several credits which were early on
identified as requiring the status of watch list and specific allocation.
Subsequently, the identified credits deteriorated and management identified the
credits as non-bankable assets, which were charged off.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2001, the provision for loan losses
charged to operating expense equaled $675 compared to $1,246 for the same period
in 2000. Net charge-offs for the six month period were $1,389 compared with $907
in 2000. The increase in net charge-offs was largely the result of several
credits which were early on identified as requiring the status of watch list and
specific allocation. Subsequently, the identified credits deteriorated and
management identified the credits as non-bankable assets, which were charged
off.

Noninterest income consists of a wide variety of fee generating services viewed
as traditional banking services as well as nontraditional revenues earned by its
insurance/brokerage, trust, and data processing business segments. Noninterest
income totaled $3,018 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to
$2,541 for the same time frame in 2000. Exclusive of net securities gains,
noninterest income increased $268 or 10.6%. As a percentage of total income (net
interest income plus noninterest income), noninterest income, exclusive of
security gains, increased to 31.5% versus 29.8% for the second quarter of 2000.

The majority of the increase was largely related to two factors. The first was a
$209 gain on sale of securities, which was a result of strategy to obtain call
protection by buying discount securities in the third quarter of 2000 that were
ultimately called at a gain during the second quarter of 2001. The second factor
was a $142 improvement in mortgage banking income associated with higher loan
origination and refinancing volume and growth in the servicing portfolio, partly
offset by an increase in amortization and impairment of mortgage servicing
rights. Also contributing to the improvement were marginal increases associated
with the internet service provider (ISP), overdraft and nsf fees, insurance
commissions, and prestige card transaction fees.

Noninterest income totaled $5,830 for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
compared to $5,319 for the same time frame in 2000. Exclusive of net securities
gains, noninterest income increased by $220 or 4.1%. As a percentage of total
income, noninterest income increased to 31.7% versus 30.6% for the six months of
2000. The increase was largely reflective of the same items discussed regarding
the second quarter.

Noninterest expense, which is comprised primarily of compensation and employee
benefits, occupancy and other operating expenses, totaled $6,476 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $6,306 for the same timeframe in
2000. This represented an increase of $170 or 2.7%.

A majority of the quarter over quarter increase was reflective of a $157 or 4.7%
increase in salaries and employee benefits due to regular merit increases and
basic incentive compensation offset by decreases in group insurance premiums and
ESOP benefits. Occupancy expense increased marginally, primarily due to building
repairs and maintenance and a slight increase in property and casualty
insurance. Also contributing to the change was an increase in other expenses
driven by debit card transaction expense and personnel recruitment fees. These
increases were offset by reductions in furniture and equipment expense due to
lower depreciation and full impairment of intangible assets associated with two
segments that reduced the level of related amortization expense.

Noninterest expense totaled $12,606 for the six months ended June 30, 2001,
decreasing by $552 or 4.2% from the same period in 2000. During the first
quarter of 2000, the Company incurred a nonrecurring pre-tax charge of $474 for
the severance expense associated with the resignation of the organization's
former chief executive officer. Excluding the effect of these expenditures
(approximately $474), core noninterest expense on a quarter over quarter basis
decreased 0.6% or $78.

Tax expense for the quarterly periods included benefits for tax-exempt income,
tax-advantaged investments and general business tax credits offset by the effect
of nondeductible expenses, including goodwill. The Company recorded income tax
expense of $698 and $476 for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Effective tax rates equaled 30.6% and 30.4% respectively, for such
periods. The Company recorded income tax expense of $1,345 and $876 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Effective tax rates equaled
30.1% and 29.6% respectively, for such periods. The Company's effective tax rate
was lower than statutory rates because the Company derives interest income from
municipal securities and loans, which are exempt from federal tax and certain
U.S. government agency securities, which are exempt from Illinois state tax.

Preferred Stock Dividends. The Company paid $65 of preferred stock dividends for
the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. The Company paid $130 of preferred
stock dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consists of
investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities) which
are primarily funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings).
All of the financial instruments of the Company are for other than trading
purposes. Such financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to
changes in market rates of interest. The operating income and net income of the
Banks depend, to a substantial extent, on "rate differentials," i.e., the
differences between the income the 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 that are
beyond the control of the Banks, including general economic conditions and the
policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities.

The Company measures its overall interest rate sensitivity through a net
interest income analysis. The net interest income analysis measures the change
in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates.
This analysis assesses the risk of changes in net interest income in the event
of a sudden and sustained 100 to 200 basis point increase or decrease in market
interest rates. The tables below present the Company's projected changes in net
interest income for the various rate shock levels at June 30, 2001 and December
31, 2000.

Modeling the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate risk is highly dependent
on the numerous assumptions embedded in the model. While the earnings
sensitivity analysis incorporates management's best estimate of interest rate
and balance sheet dynamics under various market rate movements, the actual
behavior and resulting earnings impact will likely differ from that projected.

The Company's interest rate and market risk profile has not materially changed
from the year ended December 31, 2000. Please refer to the Company's Form 10-K
filed on March 19, 2001 for further discussion of the Company's market and
interest rate risk.

Financial Condition

General. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had total assets of $744,913, gross
loans of $501,634, total deposits of $610,092, and total stockholders' equity of
$62,967. Total assets decreased by $13,820 or 1.8% from year-end 2000. Total
gross loans decreased by $3,460 or 0.7% from year-end 2000 and reflected tighter
underwriting standards and normal paydowns. Total deposits decreased by $25,911

or 4.1% from year-end 2000 and was attributable to management's strategic plan
to decrease the cost of funds through the run off of certain higher costing
non-core certificates of deposits.

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 nonaccrual status when there are serious doubts regarding the collectibility
of all principal and interest due under the terms of the loans. 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 Company
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.

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 and No. 118, the
Company defined loans that will be individually evaluated for impairment to
include commercial loans and mortgages secured by commercial properties or
five-plus family residences that are in nonaccrual status or were restructured.
All other smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in
total.

At June 30, 2001, nonperforming assets totaled $11,518 versus the $8,346 that
existed as of December 31, 2000. The level of nonperforming assets to total end
of period assets was 1.55% at June 30, 2001, as compared to 1.10% at December
31, 2000. Despite a diversified loan portfolio, the Company has experienced
credit quality deterioration in a number of business segments. During the second
quarter of 2001, the Company saw a rise in the number of nonperforming loans
resulting from continued economic slowdown and early detection of potential
problem credits.

The classification of a loan as impaired or nonaccrual does not necessarily
indicate that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in part. The Banks
make a determination as to collectibility on a case-by-case basis. The Banks
consider both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the
borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect impaired or nonaccrual
loans. The nonperforming assets have been evaluated in this manner. 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 impaired
or 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.

The Company has a loan review function which is separate from the lending
function and is responsible for the review of new and existing loans. Potential
problem credits are monitored by the loan review function and are submitted for
review to the loan committee and audit committee members.

Allowance for Loan Losses. At June 30, 2001, the allowance for loan losses
totaled $5,700 and increased to 1.14% of total loans outstanding as compared to
$4,030 or 0.84% at June 30, 2000 and $6,400 or 1.27% at December 31, 2000. The
quarter over quarter increase was primarily influenced by a single nonperforming
commercial credit, which led the Company to increase the allowance by $2,900
during the fourth quarter of 2000. As of June 30, 2001, there has been no
significant change in the status of this credit. Interest has been paid as
agreed but there has been no principal reductions on this credit and the
collateral shortfall remains. In addition to this credit, there were a number of
other loans identified in the fourth quarter that had deteriorating conditions.
In reaching the decision to provide a larger provision during the fourth quarter
of 2000, management also considered several other factors, including an increase
in nonperforming loans, general concerns over asset quality and an increase in
charge-offs during 2000. During the first six months of 2001 the Company has
charged off a portion of these loans identified in the fourth quarter of 2000,
which has caused the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans to
decrease. In addition as discussed previously even though there has been an
increase in loans categorized as nonperforming, the Company believes its
allowance for loan losses to be adequate at June 30, 2001.

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

                                       21.

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
probable incurred losses 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, the loan review
function, and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory
agencies. The Company makes an ongoing evaluation as to the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses.

On a monthly basis, management of each of the subsidiary banks meets to review
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Commercial credits are graded by
the loan officers and the Company's Loan Review Officer validates the officers'
grades. In the event that the Loan Review Officer downgrades the loan, it is
included in the allowance analysis at the lower grade. The grading system is in
compliance with the regulatory classifications and the allowance is allocated to
the loans based on the regulatory grading, except in instances where there are
known differences (i.e., collateral value is nominal, etc.). To establish the
appropriate level of the allowance, a sample of loans (including impaired and
nonperforming loans) are reviewed and classified as to potential loss exposure.

The analysis of the allowance for loan losses is comprised of three components:
specific credit allocation, general portfolio allocation, and subjective
determined allocation. The specific allocation includes a detailed review of the
credit in accordance with SFAS 114 and 118 and an allocation is made based on
this analysis. The general portfolio allocation consists of an assigned reserve
percentage based on loans by major category. The subjective portion is
determined based on the past five years of loan history and the Company's
evaluation of qualitative factors including future economic and industry
outlooks. In addition, the subjective portion of the allowance is influenced by
current economic conditions and trends in the portfolio including delinquencies
and impairments, as well as changes in the composition of the portfolio.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are reviewed to
determine whether credit risk exists.

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 composition
of the loan portfolio did not significantly change in the past year. The
methodology used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
consistent with prior years and there were no reallocations. Along with other
financial institutions, management shares a concern for the possible continued
softening of the economy in 2001. Should the economic climate continue to
deteriorate, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming
loans, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise and require further increases
in the allowance.

Liquidity. The Company manages its liquidity position with the objective of
maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers
and to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities. In addition to the
normal inflow of funds from core-deposit growth together with repayments and
maturities of loans and investments, the Company utilizes other short-term
funding sources such as securities sold under agreements to repurchase,
overnight federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, and the acceptance
of short-term deposits from public entities and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

The Company monitors and manages its liquidity position on several bases, which
vary depending upon the time period. As the time period is expanded, other data
is factored in, including estimated loan funding requirements, estimated loan
payoffs, investment portfolio maturities or calls, and anticipated depository
buildups or runoffs.

The Company classifies all of its investment securities as available-for-sale,
thereby maintaining significant liquidity. The Company's liquidity position is
further enhanced by structuring its loan portfolio interest payments as monthly
and by the significant representation of retail credit and residential mortgage
loans in the Company's loan portfolio, resulting in a steady stream of loan
repayments. In managing its investment portfolio, the Company provides for
staggered maturities so that cash flows are provided as such investments mature.

The Company's cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash flows from
operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from
financing activities. Cash flows used in operating and investing activities,
offset by those provided by financing activities, resulted in a net decrease in
cash and cash equivalents of $10,215 from December 31, 2000 to June 30, 2001.
This usage was primarily related to the net decrease in deposits due to
management's strategic plan to decrease the cost of funds through the run off of
certain higher costing non-core certificates of deposits.

During the first six months of 2001, the Company experienced a net cash inflow
of $3,824 from its investing activities primarily due to proceeds from security
sales, maturities, and paydowns and a net cash inflow of $3,921 in operating
activities. Financing activities, on the other hand, provided net cash outflows
of $17,960 largely due to a net decrease in deposits.

Capital Resources

The 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 Company was 10.24% and
11.45%, respectively, at June 30, 2001. The Company is currently, and expects to
continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve ("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.

As of June 30, 2001, the Tier 2 risk-based capital was comprised of $5,700 in

Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock, subject to
certain adjustments intended to offset the amount of losses incurred by the

with the 1996 acquisition of Prairie Bancorp, Inc.

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Monetary Policies

The financial statements and related financial data concerning the Company 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 Federal Reserve Bank.
