Description of Business General The Company, a Delaware corporation, is a regional financial services organization based in Ottawa, Illinois, encompassing four bank subsidiaries (the "Banks") and one non-bank subsidiary, UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company ("UnionFinancial"). Together, these entities serve customers in twenty-four bank locations and one non-bank location from the far Western suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across Central and Northern Illinois to the Mississippi River in Western Illinois, with banking, trust, insurance, investment and electronic offerings. The Banks and UnionFinancial are collectively referred to as the "Subsidiaries." Historical The Company was originally formed in 1982 as the bank holding company for UnionBank, an Illinois state bank with its main office located in Streator, Illinois ("UnionBank"). In 1984, UnionBank/Sandwich, an Illinois state bank with its main office located in Sandwich, Illinois ("Sandwich"), became a subsidiary of the Company. In 1991, the Ottawa National Bank, Ottawa, Illinois, was acquired and merged into UnionBank. During 1996, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Prairie Bancorp, Inc. ("Prairie"), a multi-bank holding company with six bank subsidiaries located in the Illinois communities of Carthage, Hanover, Ladd, Manlius, Tampico and Tiskilwa, and also acquired Country Bancshares, Inc. ("Country"), a one-bank holding company with a bank subsidiary located in Macomb, Illinois. In 1997, the Company acquired the remaining minority stock ownership interests in and consolidated the operations of certain of the Banks. Also in 1997, Sandwich was merged with and into UnionBank; Tampico National Bank and The First National Bank of Manlius were merged with and into Tiskilwa State Bank under the name "UnionBank/Central"; and the Farmers State Bank of Ferris was merged with and into Omni Bank under the name "UnionBank/West." The Company's other banking subsidiary is UnionBank/Northwest, an Illinois state bank with its main office located in Hanover, Illinois ("UnionBank/Northwest"). During 1998, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary UnionFinancial Services, Inc., acquired the Mercier Insurance Agency, an insurance/brokerage firm. Also, during the first quarter of 1998, UnionData Corp, Inc., a wholly-owned electronic data processing subsidiary of the Company, acquired Sainet, an Internet Service Provider. Both of these endeavors were part of a transformation of the Company's internal structure, intended to create a means for sustained revenue and earnings growth. In addition, during 1998, the Company sold its 81.7% ownership of the outstanding stock of the Bank of Ladd, an Illinois state bank with its main office located in Ladd, Illinois. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company completed the integration between UnionFinancial Services, Inc. and UnionTrust Corporation. The newly formed UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company is headquartered in Peru, Illinois and offers a complete line of insurance, brokerage and trust services. Also during 2001, in order to create a flatter, more efficient organizational structure, UnionData Corp, Inc. collapsed its charter and was, subsequently, absorbed by the holding company. It is now known as the Information Technology division of UnionBancorp, Inc. Continuing its internet and cash management offerings, the department placed a renewed emphasis on improving the internal infrastructure of the organization, under the direction of a three-year technology plan. 1. Operations The Company's strategic plan contemplates an increase in profitability and stockholder value through an expansion of the Company's market area, a focus on asset quality, an enhanced sales and service environment and improved operational efficiencies, through the targeted use of technology. In the mid-1990's, 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 retail culture. The acquisitions of Prairie and Country significantly increased the presence of the Company within the region's financial communities. Because of the reputations of the Company and its executive officers in the financial services 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 establishment. In each of the Company's twenty-five locations, customers have access to a wide range of products and services aimed at meeting the demands of a diverse market base. Committed to the concept of one stop financial shopping, customers can ascertain assistance on their banking, trust, insurance, investment and internet needs from the Company's experienced staff or enjoy the convenience of online services from the comfort of their own homes. With its continued growth and evolution, the Company also remains rooted in its strong presence in the communities it serves. The participation of the Company's directors, officers and employees in area civic and service organizations demonstrates this ongoing commitment. Management believes that, together, these qualities distinguish the Company from its competitors and will enable the Company to compete successfully in its market area against other regional and interstate institutions. Geographically, the Company serves the financial needs of contiguous counties located in north central Illinois through the Banks. In recent years, the Company has expanded its activities from north central Illinois into markets surrounding the Chicago metropolitan area, as well as into additional areas of Northern and Western Illinois. The Banks offer a wide 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 Banks make direct and indirect installment loans to consumers and commercial customers, originate and service residential mortgages and handle the secondary marketing of those mortgages. Agricultural loans also play a role in the Company's overall lending portfolio, although most of this lending activity is based in the north central portion of the Company's market area. The Banks also offer a full range of depository services including traditional savings, checking and money market accounts. Credit and debit cards, as well as home banking and bill pay options, target those customers who seek the convenience of electronic services. UnionFinancial provides a variety of additional financial solutions, namely trust and asset management alternatives, a full line of personal and commercial insurance products and personalized investment options. The Company continues to devote special attention to these financial services areas, as the demands of customers steadily move towards non-traditional financial offerings. 2. Competition Spanning fifteen Illinois counties, the Company's market area is highly competitive with commercial banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions. In addition, financial institutions, based in surrounding communities and in Chicago, 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. 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 it 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. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, effective March 11, 2000, securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and future action stemming from the Act, is expected to continue to significantly change the competitive environment in which the Company and the Banks conduct business. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties. Employees At December 31, 2002, the Company employed 356 full-time equivalent employees. The Company places high priority on staff development, which involves extensive training on product offerings, customer service, management practices and leadership skills. 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 programs and benefits, and management considers its employee relations to be excellent. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION General Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings performance of the Company can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the requirements of applicable state and federal statutes and regulations and the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities, including the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Real Estate (the "Commissioner"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The effect of applicable statutes, regulations and regulatory 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 its 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 3. of supervision and regulation applicable to the Company and its 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 shareholders, of financial institutions. The following is a summary of the material elements of the regulatory framework that applies to the Company and its subsidiaries. It does not describe all of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that apply to the Company and its subsidiaries, nor does it restate all of the requirements of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that are described. As such, the following is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable statutes, regulations and regulatory policies. Any change in applicable law, regulations or regulatory policies may have a material effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company General. The Company, as the sole stockholder of UnionBank; Prairie, as the sole stockholder of UnionBank/Central and UnionBank/Northwest; and Country, as the sole stockholder of UnionBank/West, are each bank holding companies. As bank holding companies, the Company, Prairie and Country are registered with, and are subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (the "BHCA"). In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, the Company, Prairie and Country are expected to act as a source of financial strength to their respective bank subsidiaries and to commit resources to support their respective bank subsidiaries in circumstances where the Company, Prairie or Country might not do so absent such policy. Under the BHCA, the Company, Prairie and Country are subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and are required to file with the Federal Reserve periodic reports of their respective operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require. The Company, Prairie and Country are also subject to regulation by the Commissioner under the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act, as amended. Investments and Activities. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain Federal Reserve approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after the acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of the shares of the other bank or bank holding company (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. Subject to certain conditions (including certain deposit concentration limits established by the BHCA), the Federal Reserve may allow a bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of the United States without regard to whether the acquisition is prohibited by the law of the state in which the target bank is located. In approving interstate acquisitions, however, the Federal Reserve is required to give effect to applicable state law limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the acquiring bank holding company and its insured depository institution affiliates in the state in which the target bank is located (provided that those limits do not discriminate against out-of-state depository institutions or their holding companies) and state laws which require that the target bank have been in existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) before being acquired by an out-of-state bank holding company. The BHCA also generally prohibits the Company, Prairie and Country 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. This general prohibition is subject to a number of exceptions. The principal exception allows bank holding companies to engage in, and to own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve to be "so closely related to banking ... as to be a proper incident thereto." Under current regulations of the Federal Reserve, the Company and its non-bank subsidiaries are permitted to engage in a variety of banking-related businesses, including the operation of a thrift, sales and consumer finance, equipment leasing, the operation of a computer service bureau 4. (including software development), and mortgage banking and brokerage. The BHCA generally does not place territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies. Federal law also prohibits any person or company from acquiring "control" of a bank or bank holding company without prior notice to the appropriate federal bank regulator. "Control" is defined in certain cases as the acquisition of 10% of the outstanding shares of a bank or bank holding company. Capital Requirements. Bank holding companies are required to maintain minimum levels of capital in accordance with Federal Reserve capital adequacy guidelines. 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. The Federal Reserve'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%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The leverage requirement consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly rated companies, with a minimum requirement of 4% for all others. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital consists primarily of permanent stockholders' equity less intangible assets (other than certain mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships). Total capital consists primarily of Tier 1 capital plus certain other debt and equity instruments which do not qualify as Tier 1 capital and a portion of the company's allowance for loan and lease losses. The risk-based and leverage standards described above are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations. For example, the Federal Reserve's capital guidelines contemplate that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk, or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities. 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 December 31, 2002, the Company, Prairie and Country each had regulatory capital in excess of the Federal Reserve's minimum requirements, as follows: Risk-Based Leverage Capital Ratio Capital Ratio ------------- ------------- Company 11.84% 7.48% Prairie 14.82% 8.76% Country 12.77% 8.50% Dividends. The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") allows the Company to pay dividends only out of its surplus (as defined and computed in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL) 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. 5. Further, the Illinois Business Corporation Act, as amended, prohibits an Illinois corporation, such as Prairie or Country, from paying a dividend if, after giving effect to the dividend: (i) the corporation would be insolvent; or (ii) the net assets of the corporation would be less than zero; or (iii) the net assets of the corporation would be less than the maximum amount then payable to stockholders of the corporation who would have preferential distribution rights if the corporation were liquidated. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement with regard to the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. The policy statement provides that a bank holding company should not pay cash dividends which exceed its net income or which can only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding company's financial health, such as by borrowing. The Federal Reserve also 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. Federal Securities Regulation. The Company's common stock is registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Consequently, the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act. The Banks All of the Banks are Illinois-chartered banks, the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). The Banks are also members of the Federal Reserve System ("member banks"). As Illinois-chartered, FDIC-insured member banks, the Banks are subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the Commissioner, as the chartering authority for Illinois banks, the Federal Reserve, as the primary federal regulator of member banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF. Deposit Insurance. As FDIC-insured institutions, the Banks are required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their respective levels of capital and results of supervisory evaluations. Institutions classified as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification, of all insured institutions, is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period. During the year ended December 31, 2002, BIF assessments ranged from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits. For the semi-annual assessment period beginning January 1, 2003, BIF assessment rates will continue to range from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits. The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution (i) has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, (ii) is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or (iii) has violated any applicable law, regulation, order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or 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 the Banks. 6. FICO Assessments. Since 1987, a portion of the deposit insurance assessments paid by members of the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") has been used to cover interest payments due on the outstanding obligations of the Financing Corporation ("FICO"). FICO was created in 1987 to finance the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the SAIF's predecessor insurance fund. As a result of federal legislation enacted in 1996, beginning as of January 1, 1997, both SAIF members and BIF members became subject to assessments to cover the interest payments on outstanding FICO obligations. These FICO assessments are in addition to amounts assessed by the FDIC for deposit insurance. Between January 1, 2000 and the final maturity of the outstanding FICO obligations in 2019, BIF members and SAIF members will share the cost of the interest on the FICO bonds on a pro rata basis. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the FICO assessment rate for SAIF members ranged between approximately 0.0170% of deposits and approximately 0.0182% of deposits, while the FICO assessment rate for BIF members ranged between approximately 0.0170% of deposits and approximately 0.0182% of deposits. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Banks paid FICO assessments totaling $105,677. Supervisory Assessments. All Illinois banks are required to pay supervisory assessments to the Commissioner to fund the operations of the Commissioner. The amount of the assessment is calculated based on the institution's total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported to the Commissioner. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Banks paid supervisory assessments to the Commissioner totaling $111,353. Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has established the following minimum capital standards for state-chartered Federal Reserve System member banks, such as the Banks: a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with a minimum requirement of at least 4% 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. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital and total capital consist of substantially the same components as Tier 1 capital and total capital under the Federal Reserve's capital guidelines for bank holding companies (see "--The Company--Capital Requirements"). 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, the regulations of the Federal Reserve provide that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities. During the year ended December 31, 2002, none of the Banks was required by the Federal Reserve to increase its capital to an amount in excess of the minimum regulatory requirement. As of December 31, 2002, each of the Banks exceeded its minimum regulatory capital requirements, as follows: Risk-Based Leverage Capital Ratio Capital Ratio ------------- ------------- UnionBank 12.68% 8.30% UnionBank/ Central 14.09% 8.23% UnionBank/ West 13.19% 8.80% 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," 7. "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized," in each case as defined by regulation. Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators' corrective powers include: requiring the institution to submit a capital restoration plan; limiting the institution's asset growth and restricting its activities; requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions between the institution and its 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. As of December 31, 2002, each of the Banks was well capitalized, as defined by Federal Reserve regulations. 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 net profits. The Federal Reserve Act also imposes limitations on the amount of dividends that may be paid by state member banks, such as the Banks. Generally, a member bank may pay dividends out of its undivided profits, in such amounts and at such times as the bank's board of directors deems prudent. Without prior Federal Reserve approval, however, a state member bank may not pay dividends in any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed the bank's calendar year-to-date net income plus the bank's retained net income for the two preceding calendar 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, and a financial institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof, the institution would be undercapitalized. As described above, each of the Banks exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines and had approximately $7.2 million available to be paid as dividends to the Company by the Banks as of December 31, 2002. Notwithstanding the availability of funds for dividends, however, the Federal Reserve may prohibit the payment of any dividends by the Banks if the Federal Reserve determines such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Insider Transactions. The Banks are subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on extensions of credit to the Company and its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and its subsidiaries and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Banks to their respective directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, to principal stockholders of the Company, and to "related interests" of such directors, officers and principal stockholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or officer of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a principal stockholder of the Company may obtain credit from banks with which one of the Banks maintains a correspondent relationship. Safety and Soundness Standards. The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines, which establish operational and managerial standards to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. The guidelines set forth standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings. 8. In general, the safety and soundness 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. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan that has been accepted by its primary federal regulator, the regulator is required to issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency. Until the deficiency cited in the regulator's order is cured, the regulator may restrict the institution's rate of growth, require the institution to increase its capital, restrict the rates the institution pays on deposits or require the institution to take any action the regulator deems appropriate under the circumstances. Noncompliance with the standards established by the safety and soundness guidelines may also constitute grounds for other enforcement action by the federal banking regulators, including cease and desist orders and civil money penalty assessments. Branching Authority. Illinois banks, such as the Banks, have the authority under Illinois law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Illinois, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act"), both state and national banks are allowed 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 new 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 allowed 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 mergers beginning on June 1, 1997, subject to certain conditions, including a prohibition against interstate mergers involving an Illinois bank that has been in existence and continuous operation for fewer than five years. State Bank Activities. Under federal law and FDIC regulations, 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 and FDIC regulations also prohibit 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. These restrictions have not had, and are not currently expected to have, a material impact on the operations of the Banks. Federal Reserve System. Federal Reserve regulations, as presently in effect, require depository institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts), as follows: for transaction accounts aggregating $42.1 million or less, the reserve requirement is 3% of total transaction accounts; and for transaction accounts aggregating in excess of $42.1 million, the reserve requirement is $1.263 million plus 10% of the aggregate amount of total transaction accounts in excess of $421million. The first $6.0 million of otherwise reservable balances are exempted from the reserve requirements. These reserve requirements are subject to annual adjustment by the Federal Reserve. The Banks are in compliance with the foregoing requirements. Financial Services Subsidiary UnionBank is the sole stockholder of UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company ("UnionFinancial"), an Illinois corporation licensed as a general insurance agency by the Illinois Department of Insurance (the "Department"). UnionFinancial is subject to supervision and regulation by the Department with 9. regard to compliance with the laws and regulations governing insurance agents and by the Commissioner and the Federal Reserve with regard to compliance with banking laws and regulations applicable to subsidiaries of Illinois-chartered member banks.

Legal Proceedings Neither the Company nor any of its 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. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders There were no items submitted to a vote of security holders in the fourth quarter of 2002. PART II Item 5. Market For Registrant's Common Equity And Related Stockholder Matters The Company's Common Stock was held by approximately 1,033 stockholders of record as of March 3, 2003, and is traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "UBCD." 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. 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.

Upon the consummation of the acquisition of Prairie in 1996, preferential dividends were required to be paid or accrued quarterly, with respect to the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The ability of the Company to pay dividends in the future will be primarily dependent upon its receipt of dividends from the Banks. 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 Banks' ability to pay dividends to the Company and the Company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders are also subject to certain regulatory restrictions. The Company has paid regular cash dividends on the Common Stock since it commenced operations in 1982. 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 11. the earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of the Company and the Banks, as well as the general economic conditions and other relevant factors affecting the Company and the Banks. In 1996, the Company entered into a new loan agreement in connection with the acquisition of Prairie and Country, 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 Series B Preferred Stock issued to certain of Prairie's preferred stockholders 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. Except in connection with stock dividends and stock splits, the Company has not issued any securities in the past three years which were not registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of the Company, are generally 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. General UnionBancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. 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 subsidiary, UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company ("UnionFinancial"). The Company provides a full range of services to individual and corporate customers located in the north central and west central Illinois areas. These services include demand, time, and savings deposits; lending; mortgage banking; insurance products; brokerage services; asset management; and trust services. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions, including banks, thrifts and credits unions, as well as nonfinancial institutions providing financial services. Additionally, the Company and the Banks are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. The Company has filed applications with the Federal Reserve Bank and the Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate to merge UnionBank/Central, a stand-alone bank subsidiary, into the Company's flagship bank, UnionBank. Consolidation of these entities is expected to provide several benefits to the organization including an improved utilization of personnel as a result of the consolidation of various backroom functions, which will result in a reduction in duplicated job functions and a lessening of various administrative and operational tasks. Simplified financial reporting, the elimination of inter-company banking transactions and a flatter, more efficient management structure will improve the Company's workflow, while an increased legal lending limit and additional product and service offerings in our cross-over markets will be advantageous to our existing and future customer base. The transaction is expected to be consummated late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2003. Since UnionBank/Central is under common control, the merger will be accounted for at UnionBank/Central's carrying amount which will have no impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company is also in the process of constructing a new branch facility in Yorkville, Illinois, one of the fastest growing Chicago suburbs. Aimed at providing one-stop financial shopping to our customers, the Yorkville site will deliver convenience and financial security by offering our full line of 13. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- financial services including banking, trust, internet, insurance and investment products. The facility is slated to open in the third quarter of 2003 and will be located in the new Yorkville Marketplace development at Routes 34 and 47. Results of Operations Net Income 2002 compared to 2001. Net income equaled $4,044 or $0.94 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002. This compares to net income of $4,454 or $1.05 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2001. This represents a 9.2% decrease in net income and a 10.5% decrease in per share earnings. The Company's annual results were adversely impacted by several factors. These include costs associated with other real estate owned ("OREO"), as the Company recorded a valuation allowance on one OREO property, in addition to other losses on the sale and general operating expenses incurred on OREO; increases in other operating expenses incurred to support the growing level of business activity and continued investments in the Company; and a decrease in the gains on sale of securities. Offsetting these factors were increases in net interest income, revenue generated from the mortgage banking division, and reductions in the provision for loan losses and income taxes. Also contributing to the change in earnings was the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No. 147 "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." The adoption of these accounting standards allowed the Company to cease the amortization of goodwill related to various acquisitions. Return on average assets was 0.53% for the period compared to 0.59% for the same period in 2001. Return on average stockholders' equity was 6.11% for the period compared to 7.04% for the same period in 2001. 2001 compared to 2000. Net income equaled $4,454 or $1.05 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared with net income of $2,903 or $0.66 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2000. This represents a 59.1% increase in per share earnings and a 53.4% increase in net income. The annual earnings growth was driven by several factors. These include the continued strong performance of the mortgage banking division which yielded a record period in volume and revenue generation, increased net interest income largely related to the sustained interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, gains on the sale of securities, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense, incurred to support the growing levels of business activities, and continued investments in the Company. Return on average assets was 0.59% for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to 0.40% for the same period in 2000. Return on average stockholders' equity was 7.04% for the period compared to 5.09% for the same period in 2000. 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 14. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 2002 compared to 2001. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $26,289 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared with $25,561 earned during the same period in 2001. This represented an increase of $728 or 2.9%. The improvement in net interest income is attributable to the year-over-year reduction of interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities totaling $9,199 exceeding the year-over-year reduction of interest income earned on interest earning assets totaling $8,471. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income was a shift in the funding mix from higher costing time deposits and other wholesale sources to lower costing core deposits (DDA, Now, IMMIA and Savings). The $8,471 change in interest income resulted from decreases of $500 associated with volume and $7,971 related to rate. The majority of the decrease in interest income was related to a 113 basis point decline in yields earned on average loans. Also contributing was a shift in the earning-asset mix from higher yielding loans to lower yielding investments. The $9,199 change in interest expense resulted from decreases of $1,266 associated with volume and $7,933 associated with rate. The majority of the decrease was attributable to a 159 basis point reduction in the rates paid on total time deposits, primarily located in expensive wholesale funding sources. This was a deliberate strategy aimed at reducing the Company's reliance on these higher-cost funding sources and to reduce interest rate risk. Despite a difficult rate environment, the Company's net interest margin improved in 2002. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the period increased 10 basis points to 3.74% as compared to the prior year's 3.64%. Lower funding costs, a result of actively reducing funding rates simultaneously with Federal Reserve Board actions, were principally responsible for the margin increase. Also, a decrease in loan balances and an increase in noninterest bearing sources, allowed management to reduce the Company's reliance on high-rate brokered deposits and retail time deposits. These actions were partially offset by narrower loan spreads, due to competitive pressures, overall tightening of loan underwriting standards which resulted in slower than expected loan growth and the cost of carrying a higher level of nonperforming loans. Specifically, yields on interest-earning assets decreased 122 basis points to 6.60% as compared to the prior year's 7.82%. In contrast, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 148 basis points to 3.29% as compared to the prior year's 4.77%. 2001 compared to 2000. Net interest income was $25,561 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared with $24,682 earned during the same period in 2000. This represented an increase of $879 or 3.6%. The improvement in net interest income is attributable to the year-over-year reduction of interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities totaling $1,300 exceeding the year-over-year reduction of interest income earned on interest-earning assets totaling $421. The Company experienced a decline in the cost of funds due to sustained interest rate cuts initiated by the Federal Reserve which was partially offset by decreases in rates earned on loans due to competitive pressures, overall tightening of loan underwriting standards, slower than expected loan growth, and the cost of carrying a higher level of nonperforming loans. The on-going reduction of interest rates positively impacted net interest income as the Company's liability sensitive balance sheet repriced liabilities 15. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- downward at a faster pace than rates declined on interest earning assets. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income was average loan growth of $19,159, or 4.0%, over the same period in 2000. The $421 decrease in interest income resulted from a $2,433 improvement associated with volume offset by a $2,854 decline related to rate. The majority of the decrease in interest income was related to a 38 basis point decline in interest earned on average loans driven by the commercial loan portfolio, which more than offset the $19,159 improvement in average loan volume. The growth in average interest-earning assets was offset by the decline in yields earned on interest-earning assets, as all categories of interest-earning assets were impacted by the decline in market interest rates. The $1,300 decrease in interest expense resulted from a $1,505 improvement associated with volume offset by a $2,805 decline associated with rate. The majority of the decrease was attributable to a reduction in the rates paid on total interest-bearing liabilities located in expensive wholesale funding sources, including brokered deposits, which resulted in a 30 basis point decrease in the cost of total time deposits. This was a deliberate strategy aimed at reducing the Company's reliance on these higher-cost funding sources and to reduce interest rate risk. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the period decreased 3 basis points to 3.64% as compared to the prior year's 3.67%. The Company's net interest margin was impacted by the decline in short-term interest rates and the steepening of the yield curve. This was offset by narrower loan spreads, due to competitive pressures, overall tightening of loan underwriting standards, slower than expected loan growth, and the cost of carrying a higher level of nonperforming loans. Specifically, yields on interest-earning assets decreased 42 basis points to 7.82% as compared to the prior year's 8.24%. In contrast, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 43 basis points to 4.77% as compared to the prior year's 5.20%. 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 during 2002, 2001 and 2000. 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. 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. 16. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

During these evaluations, consideration is also given to such factors as management's evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of impaired loans, other nonperforming loans, other identified potential problem loans, historical loss experience, results of examinations by regulatory agencies, results of the independent asset quality review process, the market value of collateral, the estimate of discounted cash flows, the strength and availability of guarantees, concentrations of credits, and various other factors, including concentration of credit risk in various industries and current economic conditions. 2002 compared to 2001. The 2002 provision for loan losses charged to operating expense totaled $3,574, a decrease of $587 in comparison to the $4,161 recorded during the same period a year ago. The Company's year to date provisions are a continued response to the deterioration of several seasoned credits that surfaced and have been reserved for, downgrades of various other credits and the continued softening of the economy. In addition, management also considered several factors surrounding credit-quality, including the level of 18. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nonperforming loans, the number of customers filing for bankruptcy, and net charge-offs and delinquencies. In some cases, problem loans had been previously identified; however, the loss incurred was greater than anticipated because of a soft commercial real estate market in specific industries and additional losses in the manufacturing, travel, and technology sectors. The provision is consistent with the Company's practice of focusing on early identification of problem credits, an assessment of probable incurred losses and quick remediation where possible. Net charge-offs in 2002 were $3,419 compared with $4,280 in 2001. Annualized net charge-offs decreased to 0.70% of average loans for 2002 compared to 0.85% in the same period in 2001. The high, though reduced level of net charge-offs compared to 2001, resulted from the impact of the weak economic climate and greater scrutiny by management in identifying problem credits for our watch list. As these credits continued to deteriorate, management actively sought methods of improving problem credits or recognized the need to charge-off non-bankable assets. In some cases, problem loans had been previously identified; however, the loss incurred was greater than anticipated. Other factors included an increase in the number of bankruptcies due to the soft commercial real estate market in specific industries and additional losses in the manufacturing, travel, and technology sectors. Along with other financial institutions, management remains watchful of credit quality issues and believes that current issues within the portfolio are reflective of a challenging economic environment and mirror problems faced by peers throughout the financial community. 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. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio to limit credit exposure. 2001 compared to 2000. The 2001 provision for loan losses charged to operating expense totaled $4,161, a decrease of $697 in comparison to the $4,858 recorded during the same period a year ago. The provision for loan losses increased the allowance for loan losses in response to the gradual deterioration of various seasoned loans, nonperforming loans, net charge-offs and delinquencies, coupled with concerns over the economy's deteriorating economic impact, particularly in light of the unprecedented events on and subsequent to September 11. Net charge-offs in 2001 were $4,280 compared with $2,135 in 2000. Annualized net charge-offs increased to 0.85% of average loans for 2001 compared to 0.44% in the same period in 2000. The increase in net charge-offs was largely the result of several credits which were identified in 2000 as requiring the status of watch list and specific allocation. During 2001, these credits continued to deteriorate and management identified the credits as non-bankable assets, which were charged off. 19. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest Income. The following table shows the Company's noninterest income: NONINTEREST INCOME (Dollars in Thousands) Years Ended December 31, ---------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 --------- --------- --------- Service charges $ 2,812 $ 2,748 $ 2,683 Merchant fee income 1,185 1,095 1,110 Trust income 775 687 744 Mortgage banking income 2,843 2,096 1,278 Insurance commissions and fees 2,188 2,407 2,862 Securities gains (losses), net 407 798 (29) Other income 2,245 2,089 2,492 --------- --------- --------- Total noninterest income $ 12,455 $ 11,920 $ 11,140 ========= ========= ========= Noninterest income consists of a wide variety of fee-based revenues viewed as traditional banking services as well as revenues generated by the Company's insurance, brokerage, trust, asset management and data processing product lines. 2002 compared to 2001. Noninterest income totaled $12,455 for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $11,920 for the same timeframe in 2001. This represented an increase of $535 or 4.5%. Exclusive of net securities gains of $407 in 2002 and $798 in 2001, core noninterest income shows a year-over-year increase of $926 or 8.3%. As a percentage of total income (net interest income plus noninterest income), core noninterest income, exclusive of securities gains, increased to 31.9% versus 31.0% for 2001. A majority of the increase in core noninterest income was related to a $747 improvement in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income includes fees generated from net servicing (after amortization of mortgage servicing rights) and the gains realized from the sale of loans. The Company's mortgage loan production increased 11% to a level of $183,481 as declining interest rates resulted in increases in the rate of mortgage refinancing and residential real estate activity. Offsetting the improvement in mortgage loan production, and subsequent gains on the sale of these loans, was a decrease in net servicing due to increasing pre-payment speeds driven by the declining interest rate environment. Also contributing to the improvement were marginal increases in fees associated with overdraft fees reflecting an increase in returned check charges related to a higher occurrence rate, prestige card transaction fees related to higher transaction volume pushing interchange fees higher, and revenue generated from investments in bank-owned life insurance. These improvements were offset by lower than anticipated insurance, asset management and brokerage fees (included in insurance commissions and fees). Insurance fees declined largely due to the hardening of the overall insurance market, which has resulted in clients shopping business to other vendors. Asset management and brokerage fees generally follow the amount of total assets under management and conditions in the equity and credit markets. The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes. 20. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 compared to 2000. Noninterest income totaled $11,920 for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $11,140 for the same timeframe in 2000. This represented an increase of $780 or 7.0%. Several factors impacted the year-over-year change. First, as interest rates declined during 2001, the market value of some securities increased, and the Company took the opportunity to liquidate those securities and either replace them with similar securities or fund loan growth. Securities available-for-sale are held in a manner which allows for their sale in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, balance sheet risk objectives or significant prepayment risk. The second factor was, during 2000, the Company completed the sale of its UnionBank/West Camp Point branch and the sale of its intellectual property rights for the InternetStation product. Exclusive of $798 in net securities gain from 2001, and the $753 in the gross gains on sale of UnionBank/West's Camp Point branch and the InternetStation intellectual property during 2000, core noninterest income increased year-over-year by $735 or 7.1%. As a percentage of total income (net interest income plus noninterest income), core noninterest income, exclusive of securities gains, gain on sale of the Camp Point branch and InternetStation intellectual property, increased to 31.3% versus 30.6% for 2000. A majority of the increase in core noninterest income was related to an $818 improvement in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income includes fees generated from servicing and the gains realized from the sale of these loans. The Company's mortgage loan production more than doubled to $165,515 during 2001, compared to 2000, as declining interest rates resulted in increases in the rate of mortgage refinancing and residential real estate activity. Net mortgage servicing rights decreased due to increasing pre-payment speeds driven by declining interest rates. Also contributing to the improvement were marginal increases in fees associated with overdraft fees reflecting an increase in returned check charges related to a higher occurrence rate, prestige card transaction fees related to higher transaction volume pushing interchange fees higher, and internet service provider (ISP) due to an increase in the number of customers. These improvements were offset by lower than anticipated trust, asset management, and brokerage fees (included in insurance commissions and fees). Trust, asset management, and brokerage fees generally follow the amount of total assets under management, as well as conditions in the equity and credit markets, as such fees on certain accounts are based on market value. The decrease in fees during the year was due, in part, to the overall condition of equity and credit markets since the beginning of the year, as well as to a slight decline in sales related to certain customers' reluctance to commit new funds and shift existing assets. 21. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest Expense. The following table shows the Company's noninterest expense: NONINTEREST EXPENSE (Dollars in Thousands) Years Ended December 31, ---------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 --------- --------- --------- Salaries and employee benefits $ 15,284 $ 13,700 $ 13,468 Occupancy expense, net 1,868 1,751 1,753 Furniture and equipment expenses 1,820 1,632 1,803 Supplies and printing 525 608 573 Telephone 1,074 773 749 Other real estate owned expense 919 162 116 Amortization of intangible assets 245 945 1,310 Other expense 7,291 6,641 6,113 --------- --------- --------- Total noninterest expense $ 29,026 $ 26,212 $ 25,885 ========= ========= ========= 2002 compared to 2001. Noninterest expense totaled $29,026 for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $26,212 for the same timeframe in 2001. This represented an increase of $2,814 or 10.7%. A majority of the increase in noninterest expense was attributable to a $1,584 rise in salaries and benefits, as we invested in our own future through the recruitment and retention of high-quality, seasoned industry professionals to fill existing vacancies and increased the Company's annual contribution to employee's 401k plan. In addition, a higher concentration of salary expenditures is also currently being realized by our mortgage banking division and financial services division. These divisions, with lower gross profit margins, historically produce significant noninterest income, but also incur considerable noninterest expense. Also contributing to the increase were $757 in costs associated with OREO assets, as the Company recorded a valuation allowance on one property, in addition to other losses on sale and general operating expenses incurred on OREO. Other reasons for the increase in other expenses were due to the write-down of other assets and fees related to the work-out and collection of nonperforming loans. Additionally, furniture and equipment expense and telephone expense increased due to investments in technology which were incurred to improve the Company's network infrastructure. These increases were partially offset by decreases in supplies and printing and amortization of intangible assets due to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." The adoption of these accounting standards allowed the Company to cease the amortization of goodwill related to its acquisitions. The effect of this adoption increased earnings by $690 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. 2001 compared to 2000. Noninterest expense totaled $26,212 for the year ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $25,885 for the same timeframe in 2000. This represented an increase of $327 or 1.3%. As previously mentioned, during 2000, the Company engaged in a number of strategic initiatives that had an effect on noninterest expense levels. These items included $814 in executive severance package and related expenses, $150 in the elimination of executive corporate vehicles and other one time expenses, $135 related to expenses associated with the sale of the intellectual property rights for its 22. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- InternetStation product, and $232 in impairment of intangible assets. Exclusive of these items, core noninterest expense shows a year-over-year increase of $1,658 or 6.8% over 2000 levels. A majority of the core change in expense for the year was reflective of the salaries and employee benefits (exclusive of the year 2000 severance expense) which increased $1,046 or 8.3% over the same timeframe in 2000. This was due to regular merit increases, basic incentive compensation primarily related to increased real estate production, new additions incurred to support the growing levels of business activities, and an increase in the Company's contributions to employee ESOP benefits. Also contributing were increases in the other expense category largely related to other real estate expense, debit card expense due to higher volume, real estate appraisals due to growth in the volume of production, postage due to the adoption of Regulation P, and legal fees largely related to nonperforming loans and the internal reorganizations completed during the year. These increases were offset by decreases in furniture and equipment expenses reflecting lower depreciation of personal computer and peripheral equipment, and marketing due to a shift in marketing strategy and the scaling back of certain advertising programs. The combined categories of occupancy expense, supplies and printing, and telephone remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes. Applicable Income Taxes. The following table shows the Company's income before income taxes, as well as applicable income taxes and the effective tax rate for each of the past three years. Years Ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 --------- --------- --------- Income before income taxes $ 5,178 $ 5,991 $ 3,920 Applicable income taxes 1,134 1,537 1,017 Effective tax rates 21.9% 25.7% 25.9% Income tax expense for the periods included benefits for tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged investments and general business tax credits offset by the effect of nondeductible expenses. The Company's effective tax rate was lower than statutory rates due to several factors. First, 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. Second, the level of tax-exempt income has increased as a percentage of taxable income. And, finally, the Company has reduced tax expense through various tax planning initiatives. Preferred Stock Dividends. The Company paid $257 of preferred stock dividends in 2002 and 2001 and $259 in 2000. Interest Rate Sensitivity Management The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consist 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, substantially, 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. 23. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 assumption in this table is that assets will reprice faster than liabilities, due to market constraints and management's structuring of their assets and liabilities. The interest rate scenarios are used for analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent management's view of future market movements. The tables below present the Company's projected changes in net interest income for 2002 and 2001 for the various rate shock levels. December 31, 2002 Net Interest Income - ----------------- --------------------------------------------------- Amount Change Change ------ ------ ------ (Dollars in Thousands) +200 bp $ 26,146 $ 822 3.25% +100 bp 25,857 533 2.10 Base 25,324 - - -100 bp 24,587 (737) (2.91) -200 bp 23,796 (1,528) (6.03) Based on the Company's model at December 31, 2002, the effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company's net interest income by 3.25% or approximately $822. The effect of an immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates would reduce the Company's net interest income by 6.03% or approximately $1,528. December 31, 2001 Net Interest Income - ----------------- --------------------------------------------------- Amount Change Change ------ ------ ------ (Dollars in Thousands) +200 bp $ 28,134 $ 851 3.12% +100 bp 27,695 412 1.51 Base 27,283 - - -100 bp 26,900 (383) (1.40) -200 bp 26,095 (1,188) (4.35) Based on the Company's model at December 31, 2001 the effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company's net interest income by 3.12% approximately $851. The effect of an immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates would reduce the Company's net interest income by 4.35% or approximately $1,188. Financial Condition General. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had total assets of $791,616, gross loans of $483,229, total deposits of $641,958, and total stockholders' equity of $68,064. Total assets increased by $43,309 or 5.8% from year-end 2001. Total gross loans decreased $21,739 or 4.3% from year-end 2001 and reflected tighter underwriting standards, an overall softening of loan demand, and normal paydowns. In contrast, total deposits increased by $29,814 or 4.9% from year-end 2001, largely related to growth in lower costing interest-bearing deposits (Now, IMMIA and Savings) and noninterest-bearing deposits. 24.

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. Rate sensitivities of the total loan portfolio, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2002 were as follows: LOAN REPRICING (Dollars in Thousands) Within 1 to 5 After 5 1 Year Years Years Total ---------- ---------- --------- --------- Fixed rate $ 97,020 $ 76,295 $ 19,496 $ 192,811 Variable rate 153,346 131,571 1,570 286,487 Impaired and not accruing and nonaccrual 1,380 1,075 1,476 3,931 ---------- ---------- --------- --------- Total $ 251,746 $ 208,941 $ 22,542 $ 483,229 ========== ========== ========= ========= 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. 26. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The classification of a loan as 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 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. The Company has an independent loan review function which is separate from the lending function and is responsible for the review of new and existing loans. Due largely to tighter underwriting standards and an overall heightened commitment to asset quality, the level of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2002 decreased to $4,760 versus the $8,875 that existed as of December 31, 2001. The year-over-year decrease in nonperforming loans was due to various actions taken during the year to proactively address these problem loans. Additionally, the Company experienced a substantial improvement in the level of nonperforming loans to total loans, which totaled 0.99% as of December 31, 2002 compared to 1.76% at December 31, 2001. The reserve coverage ratio (allowance to nonperforming loans) also improved significantly to 135.5%, as of December 31, 2002, from the lower ratio of 70.93% at December 31, 2001.

Other Potential Problem Loans. The Company has other potential problem loans that are currently performing, but where some concerns exist as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms. Excluding nonperforming loans, these loans totaled $3,725 that management has classified as impaired at December 31, 2002. Management considers these loans to be impaired due to declining financial performance. The classification of these 27. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- loans, however, does not imply that management expects losses on each of these loans, but believes that a higher level of scrutiny and close monitoring is prudent under the circumstances. Such classifications relate to specific concerns for each individual borrower and do not relate to any concentration risk common to all loans in this group.

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 a 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 independent 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 quarterly 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 Loan Review function validates the officers' grades. In the event that the Loan Review function 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 economic and industry conditions. 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 28. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of the loan portfolio did not significantly change in 2002. 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 remains watchful of credit quality issues and believes that current issues within the portfolio are reflective of a challenging economic environment and mirror problems faced by many of its peers throughout the financial community. 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. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio and take appropriate action to proactively limit credit exposure. At December 31, 2002, the allowance for loan losses was $6,450 or 1.33% of total loans as compared to $6,295 or 1.25% at December 31, 2001. Several factors impacted the year-over-year change. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company increased the allowance by $2,890, and, in the second quarter of 2002, the Company increased the allowance by $1,652. These increases were due to the deterioration in overall credit quality and the impact of various identified seasoned credits. These increases were offset by net charge-offs, largely the result of several credits which were identified in previous quarters as requiring the status of watch list with specific allocations. These problem credits continued to deteriorate and were identified by management as non-bankable assets, and, subsequently, charged off. 29. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

The Company's securities portfolio, which represented 28.8% of the Company's average earning asset base as of December 31, 2002, is managed to minimize interest rate risk, maintain sufficient liquidity, and maximize return. The portfolio includes several callable agency debentures, fixed and adjustable rate mortgage pass-throughs, preferred trust securities and collateralized mortgage obligations with stated or implied calls. Corporate bonds consist of investment grade obligations of public corporations. Other securities consist of Federal Reserve stock, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, and SBA pooled securities. The Company's financial planning anticipates income streams generated by the securities portfolio based on normal maturity or projected prepayment and reinvestment. Securities classified as available-for-sale, carried at fair value, were $227,229 at December 31, 2002 compared to $186,282 at December 31, 2001. The Company does not have any securities classified as trading or held-to-maturity. The consolidated securities portfolio includes several callable agency debentures, adjustable rate mortgage pass-throughs, and collateralized mortgage obligations with implied calls. The exposure of capital to market valuation adjustments existing at the time of the Prairie acquisition has been reduced by the reduction in relative size of the portfolio, the shortening of the average life of the securities by the passage of time and the sale of floating rate securities with lower lifetime caps or reset limits or had interest rate exposure not consistent with offsetting exposure of funding sources. In addition, some of the callable securities that have been purchased have shorter final maturities, which also reduces the sensitivity of the Economic Value of Equity (EVE) to changes in the level of interest rates. 31.

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 brokered time deposits, 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 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 provided by operating and investing activities, offset by those used in financing activities, resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $12,263 from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7,981 for 2002, $3,468 for 2001, and $10,521 for 2000. Net cash used by investing activities, consisting primarily of loan and investing funding, was $33,017 and $50,836 for 2002 and 2000, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,834 for 2001. Net cash provided financing activities, consisting primarily of increases in deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, was $37,299 and $46,106 for 2002 and 2000, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities, consisting primarily of decreases in deposits partially offset by Federal Home Loan Bank advances, was $14,624 for 2001. 34. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Banks' securities portfolios, federal funds sold, and cash and due from bank deposit balances serve as the primary sources of liquidity for the Company. At December 31, 2002, 27.6% of the Banks' interest-bearing liabilities were in the form of time deposits of $100,000 and over. 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 Banks' liquidity could be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities of the Banks' large time deposits are spread throughout the year, with 28.4% maturing in the first quarter of 2003, 24.1% maturing in the second quarter of 2003, 18.0% maturing in the third and fourth quarters of 2003, and the remaining 29.5% maturing thereafter. The Banks monitor those maturities in an effort to minimize any adverse effect on liquidity. The Company's borrowings included notes payable at December 31, 2002 in the principal amount of $8,275 payable to the Company's principal correspondent bank. The note is renewable annually, requires quarterly interest payments, and is collateralized by the Company's stock in the Banks. The Company's principal source of funds for repayment of the indebtedness is dividends from the Banks. At December 31, 2002, approximately $7,200 was available for dividends without regulatory approval.

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 is 10.54% and 11.84%, respectively, at December 31, 2002. The Banks are currently, and expect to continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank ("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 35. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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 acquired in conjunction with the 1996 acquisition of Prairie. 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 FRB. 36.

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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As disclosed in Note 1, during 2002, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for goodwill and intangible assets. /s/ CROWE, CHIZEK AND COMPANY LLP Oak Brook, Illinois January 24, 2003 38.

UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies UnionBancorp, Inc. ("the Company") is a bank holding company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers located in the north central and west central areas of Illinois. These services include demand, time, and savings deposits; lending; mortgage banking; insurance products; brokerage services; and trust services. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial services. Additionally, the Company and its bank subsidiaries ("the Banks") are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. Basis of presentation - --------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries UnionBank, UnionBank/West, UnionBank/Central, and UnionBank/Northwest. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practice in the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The allowance for loan losses, value of mortgage servicing rights, and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity, other than trust cash on deposit with the Banks, are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Cash flows - ---------- Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Loan disbursements and collections, repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, and transactions in deposit accounts are reported, net. Securities - ---------- Securities classified as available-for-sale are those 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 with unrealized gains or losses, net of the related deferred income tax effect, reported in other comprehensive income. Securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock are carried at cost. (Continued) 45. UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Interest income is reported net of amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Gains or losses from the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method. Derivatives - ----------- All derivative instruments are recorded at their fair values. If derivative instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current earnings. Fair value adjustments related to cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedge transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of hedges are reflected in earnings as they occur. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had no material derivative instruments. Loans - ----- Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market, on an aggregate basis. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Allowance for loan losses - ------------------------- The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. (Continued) 46. UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Mortgage servicing rights - ------------------------- Servicing assets represent purchased rights and the allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold. Servicing assets are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the assets, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as to geographic and prepayment characteristics. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance. Foreclosed assets - ----------------- Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. At December 31, 2002 there is a $325,000 valuation allowance against foreclosed assets. Costs after acquisition are expensed. Premises and equipment - ---------------------- Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Provisions for depreciation and amortization, included in operating expenses, are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant improvements are capitalized. Company-owned life insurance - ---------------------------- The Company has invested in bank-owned life insurance policies, for which the Company is also the beneficiary, on certain members of management. Company-owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value or the amount that can be realized. These policies have an aggregate face value of approximately $34.5 million and $3.7 million with an approximate cash surrender value of $13.8 million and $2.2 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Goodwill and other intangible assets - ------------------------------------ Goodwill results from prior business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Upon adopting new accounting guidance on January 1, 2002 and October 1, 2002, the Company ceased amortizing goodwill. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. The effect on net income of ceasing goodwill amortization in 2002 was $690,000. Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank, branch, and insurance company acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which is 10 years. (Continued) 47. UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Long-term assets - ---------------- Premises and equipment, core deposit, and other intangible assets, and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value. Repurchase agreements - --------------------- Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance. Income taxes - ------------ Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes ultimately payable or recoverable based on enacted tax laws. Changes in enacted tax rates and laws are reflected in the financial statements in the periods they occur. Earnings per share - ------------------ Basic earnings per share is based on weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of any dilutive potential common shares under stock options and Series A converted preferred shares using the treasury stock method. Financial instruments - --------------------- Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Stock compensation - ------------------ Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise plan equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Net income as reported for common stockholders $ 3,787 $ 4,197 $ 2,644 Deduct: stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method 131 135 142 ---------- ---------- ---------- Pro forma net income $ 3,656 $ 4,062 $ 2,502 ========== ========== ========== (Continued) 48.

Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which outstanding shares of common stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of common stock. These rights are protected by customary antidilution provisions. Stockholder rights plan - ----------------------- On July 17, 1996, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value, of the Company at a price of $50.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock ("the Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment. The Rights are not exercisable until the earlier to occur of: (i) 10 days after a person or group ("Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as determined by the Board of Directors) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer ("the Distribution Date"). Unless extended, the Rights will expire on August 4, 2006. At any time prior to the time an Acquiring Person becomes such, the Board of Directors of the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right. (Continued) 50.

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Dividend restriction - -------------------- Banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital levels and may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the subsidiary banks to the holding company or by the holding company to stockholders. Loss contingencies - ------------------ Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements. Comprehensive income - -------------------- Comprehensive income includes both net income and other comprehensive income elements, including the change in unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, net of tax. Newly issued but not yet effective accounting standards - ------------------------------------------------------- New accounting standards on asset retirement obligations, restructuring activities and exit costs, operating leases, and early extinguishment of debt were issued in 2002. Management determined that when the new accounting standards are adopted in 2003, they will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain items in the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 have been reclassified, with no effect on net income, to conform with the current year presentation.

The options have an exercise period of ten years from the date of grant. In 1999, the Company adopted the UnionBancorp, Inc. nonqualified Stock Option Plan ("the 1999 Option Plan"). Under the 1999 Option Plan, nonqualified options may be granted to employees and eligible directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase the Company's common stock at 100% of the fair market value on the date the option is granted. The Company has authorized 50,000 shares for issuance under the 1999 Option Plan. During 1999, 40,750 of these shares were granted and are exercisable in three years.

In addition, options to purchase 149,926 shares of common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2002 but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price and, therefore, were antidilutive. 2002 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- Basic earnings per share Net income available to common stockholders $ 3,787 $ 4,197 $ 2,644 ========== ========== ========== Weighted average common shares outstanding 3,980 3,974 3,980 ========== ========== ========== Basic earnings per share $ 0.95 $ 1.06 $ 0.66 ========== ========== ========== Weighted average common shares outstanding 3,980 3,974 3,980 Add dilutive effect of assumed exercised stock options 48 35 27 ---------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average common and dilutive potential shares outstanding 4,028 4,009 4,007 ========== ========== ========== Diluted earnings per share $ 0.94 $ 1.05 $ 0.66 ========== ========== ========== (Continued) 63.

Regulatory Matters The Company and the Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In December of 2002, the Company filed the required application with the appropriate regulatory agency for approval to merge UnionBank and UnionBank/Central. The Company believes that the application will be approved, and the merger of the two banks is scheduled for March 31, 2003. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2002, that the Company and the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the corresponding regulatory agency categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Banks' categories.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows: The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, the fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. The fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements. (Continued) 65. UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as follows: December 31, -------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value ------ ----- ------ ----- Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 38,962 $ 38,962 $ 26,699 $ 26,699 Securities 227,229 227,229 186,282 186,282 Loans 476,779 479,497 498,673 497,284 Accrued interest receivable 6,211 6,211 7,039 7,039 Financial liabilities Deposits 641,958 642,270 612,144 618,866 Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase 3,588 3,588 2,629 2,629 Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank 61,750 64,072 52,750 52,307 Notes payable 8,275 8,275 9,275 9,275 Accrued interest payable 2,935 2,935 3,954 3,954 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 17. Commitments, Contingencies, and Credit Risk In the normal course of business, there are various contingent liabilities outstanding, 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. The 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 commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. (Continued) 66. UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 17. Commitments, Contingencies, and Credit Risk (Continued) The Bank'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 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 are as follows: Standby Range of Rates Letters Variable Rate Fixed Rate Total on Fixed Rate of Credit Commitments Commitments Commitments Commitments --------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit December 31, 2002 $ 1,421 $ 56,959 $ 46,180 $ 103,139 4.50% - 9.00% December 31, 2001 $ 2,858 $ 55,807 $ 35,790 $ 91,597 5.50% - 7.99% Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. For commitments to extend credit, the Banks evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; and income producing commercial properties. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers. The standby letters of credit are unsecured. 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. (Continued) 67. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

Condensed Financial Information - Parent Company Only The primary source of funds for the Company is dividends from its subsidiaries. By regulation, the Banks are prohibited from paying dividends that would reduce regulatory capital below a specific percentage of assets without regulatory approval.
