Business THE COMPANY General The Company, a Delaware corporation, is a regional financial services organization based in Ottawa, Illinois, encompassing one bank subsidiary. Together, the Company's sales and service centers serve customers at twenty-two locations from the far western suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across central and northern Illinois, and offer banking, trust, insurance, investment and electronic services and products. 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 its subsidiary 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 was 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 and were intended to create a means for sustained revenue and earnings growth. In addition, during 1998, the Company sold its 81.7% ownership interest in 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. Also during 2001, in order to create a flatter, more efficient organizational structure, UnionData Corp, Inc. collapsed its charter and was, subsequently, absorbed by UnionBancorp as its Information Technology division. In March of 2003, the Company completed phase one of a two-phase bank charter consolidation initiative. UnionBank/Central was successfully merged into the existing UnionBank in an effort to streamline backroom processes, enhance efficiencies and achieve greater economies of scales. Seamless to our customers, 1. the process has alleviated many intra-company transactions, financial reporting functions and loan participations, while creating a flatter organizational structure. The sale of the Company's Merchant Point of Sale (POS) product was completed in May of 2003. Under the agreement, the Company will still be able to offer the product and will share in revenues via referral fees and a revenue sharing agreement based on the activity merchants experience. In June of 2003, the Company entered into an arrangement to sell its book of ISP customers to a local Internet Service Provider (ISP). This action came as a result of the Company's decision to focus its Information Technology division more heavily on core business initiatives, while continuing to ensure that customers are receiving the highest level of service possible. The Company's newest branch facility in Yorkville, Illinois, one of the fastest growing Chicago suburbs, officially opened for business in December of 2003. The facility is located in the new Yorkville Marketplace development at the intersection of Routes 34 and 47, the most highly trafficked intersection in Kendall County. The 6,500 square foot branch is a full-service bank that offers retail banking services, mortgage lending, asset management and business banking with extended hours for customer convenience. The Company completed phase two of the charter consolidation initiative during the first quarter of 2004 when UnionBank/Northwest and UnionBank/West were successfully merged into UnionBank and Prairie and Country were dissolved. In the third quarter of 2004, the Company completed the sale of five western Illinois sales and service centers, which included Carthage, Macomb, Paloma, Quincy and Rushville, selling $40.2 million in net loans and $88.6 million in deposits to First Bankers Trust Company of Quincy. The transaction, which effectively exited the Company from the western Illinois market, yielded a net gain on sale (after impairment of intangible assets, taxes and applicable expenses) of approximately $1.8 million and reduced the Company's net footings by $40.9 million. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company completed the final phase of its charter consolidation initiative when UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company was merged into UnionBank, thus successfully creating a one-bank holding company. Operations 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-two 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 obtain assistance on their banking, trust, insurance and investment 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 enhance the Company's ability to compete successfully in its market area against other regional and interstate institutions. 2. Geographically, the Company serves the financial needs of contiguous counties located in north central Illinois. 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 Illinois. UnionBank offers a wide range of commercial and retail lending services to businesses 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. UnionBank makes direct and indirect installment loans to consumers and commercial customers, originates and services residential mortgages and handles 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. UnionBank also offers 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. UnionBank's financial services division 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. Competition Spanning nine Illinois counties, the Company's market area is highly competitive with numerous 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 UnionBank 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, 2004, the Company employed 272.5 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 3. 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 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, is a bank holding company. As a bank holding company, the Company is registered with, and is 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 is expected to act as a source of financial strength to UnionBank and to commit resources to support the UnionBank in circumstances where the Company might not do so absent such policy. Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and is required to file with the Federal Reserve periodic reports of operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require. The Company is 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 4. 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 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 is permitted to engage in a variety of banking-related businesses, including the operation of a thrift, consumer finance or equipment leasing business, the operation of a computer service bureau (including software development), and its operation of mortgage banking and brokerage businesses. The BHCA generally does not place territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies. In November, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act") was signed into law. Under the GLB Act, bank holding companies that meet certain standards and elect to become "financial holding companies" are permitted to engage in a wider range of activities than those permitted by bank holding companies, including securities and insurance activities. Specifically, a bank holding company that elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines is (i) financial in nature or incidental thereto, or (ii) complementary to any such financial-in-nature activity, provided that such complementary activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. A bank holding company may elect to become a financial holding company only if each of its depository institution subsidiaries is well-capitalized, well-managed, and has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of "satisfactory" or better at their most recent examination. The GLB Act specifies many activities that are financial in nature, including lending, exchanging, transferring, investing for others, or safeguarding money or securities; underwriting and selling insurance; providing financial, investment or economic advisory services; underwriting, dealing in, or making a market in securities; and those activities currently permitted for bank holding companies that are so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks, as to be a proper incident thereto. The GLB Act changed federal laws to facilitate affiliation between banks and entities engaged in securities and insurance activities. The law also established a system of functional regulation under which banking activities, securities activities, and insurance activities conducted by financial holding companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates will be separately regulated by banking, securities, and insurance regulators, respectively. 5. 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% or more 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 by the 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, 2004, the Company had regulatory capital in excess of the Federal Reserve's minimum requirements, as follows: Risk-Based Leverage Capital Ratio Capital Ratio ------------- ------------- Company 14.3% 9.5% Dividends. The Company is organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). 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. 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. 6. 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. UnionBank UnionBank is an Illinois-chartered bank, the deposit accounts of which are insured by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). UnionBank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System ("member banks"). As an Illinois-chartered, FDIC-insured member bank, UnionBank is subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the Commissioner, as the chartering authority for Illinois banks, (the "Commissioner"), the Federal Reserve, as the primary federal regulator of member banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF. Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured institution, UnionBank is 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, 2004, BIF assessments ranged from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits. For the semi-annual assessment period beginning January 1, 2005, the Company expects that 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 UnionBank. 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, 2004, the FICO assessment rate for both SAIF and BIF members ranged between approximately 0.0146% of deposits and approximately 0.0154% of deposits. During the year ended December 31, 2004, UnionBank paid FICO assessments totaling $108,522. 7. 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, 2004, UnionBank paid supervisory assessments to the Commissioner totaling $125,486. Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has established the following minimum capital standards for state-chartered Federal Reserve System member banks, such as UnionBank: 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, 2004, UnionBank was not required by the Federal Reserve to increase its capital to an amount in excess of the minimum regulatory requirement. As of December 31, 2004, UnionBank exceeded its minimum regulatory capital requirements, as follows: Risk-Based Leverage Capital Ratio Capital Ratio ------------- ------------- UnionBank 16.0% 10.7% Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized," 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, 2004, UnionBank 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. 8. Dividends. Under the Illinois Banking Act, Illinois-chartered banks may not pay dividends in excess of their net profits then on hand, after deducting losses and bad debts. The Federal Reserve Act also imposes limitations on the amount of dividends that may be paid by state member banks, such as UnionBank. 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 such bank's calendar year-to-date net income plus such 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, UnionBank exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines and had approximately $5.4 million available to be paid as dividends to the Company as of December 31, 2004. Notwithstanding the availability of funds for dividends, however, the Federal Reserve may prohibit the payment of any dividends by UnionBank if the Federal Reserve determines such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Insider Transactions. UnionBank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on extensions of credit to the Company, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by UnionBank to its directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company, 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 a principal stockholder of the Company may obtain credit from the banks with which UnionBank 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. 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 UnionBank, have the authority under Illinois law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Illinois, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. 9. 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. Illinois law permits interstate mergers, 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. 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. Certain states permit out-of-state banks to establish de novo branches or acquire branches from another bank. Illinois law currently does not permit out-of-state banks to establish branches in Illinois in this manner, but Illinois-chartered banks may branch into other states in this manner if the law of the state in which the branch will be established or acquired so authorizes and does not require a reciprocal provision under Illinois law. 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. The GLB Act also authorizes insured state banks to engage in financial activities, through subsidiaries, similar to the activities permitted for financial holding companies. If a state bank wants to establish a subsidiary engaged in financial activities, it must meet certain criteria, including that it and all of its affiliated insured depository institutions are well-capitalized and have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least "satisfactory" and that it is well-managed. There are capital deduction and financial statement requirements and financial and operational safeguards that apply to subsidiaries engaged in financial activities. Such a subsidiary is considered to be an affiliate of the bank and there are limitations on certain transactions between a bank and a subsidiary engaged in financial activities of the same type that apply to transactions with a bank's holding company and its subsidiaries. Reserve Requirement. 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: o for the first $7 million of net transaction accounts, there is no reserve; o for net transaction accounts totaling over $7 million and up to and including $47.6 million, a reserve of 3%; and o for net transaction accounts totaling in excess of $47.6 million, a reserve requirement of $1.218 million plus 10% against that portion of the total transaction accounts greater than $47.6 million The dollar amounts and percentages reported here are all subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve. The effect of maintaining the required non-interest earning reserves is to reduce UnionBank's interest earning assets. 10. Financial Services Division UnionBank is licensed as a general insurance agency by the Illinois Department of Insurance (the "Department"). UnionBank is subject to supervision and regulation by the Department with 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. UnionBank, through its trust division, conducts a full service trust business in the State of Illinois, pursuant to a certificate of authority issued to the Commissioner under the Illinois Corporate Fiduciaries Act (the "Fiduciaries Act"). The trust division is subject to periodic examination by the Commissioner and the Commissioner has the authority to take action against it to enforce compliance with the laws applicable to its operations. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS The term of office for the executive officers of the Company is from the date of election until the next annual organizational meeting of the Board of Directors. In addition to the information provided in the 2005 Proxy Statement, the names and ages of the executive officers of the Company as of December 31, 2004, as well as the offices of the Company and the Subsidiary held by these officers on that date, and principal occupations for the past five years are set forth below.

AFFILIATE MARKETS SERVED PROPERTY/TYPE LOCATION - --------- -------------- ---------------------- The Company Administrative Office: Ottawa, IL UnionBank Bureau, DeKalb, Grundy, Jo Main Office: Streator, IL Daviess, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, Livingston and Eighteen banking offices Whiteside Counties and four non-banking offices located in markets served. In addition to the banking locations listed above, UnionBank owns twenty-two automated teller machines, some of which are housed within banking offices and some of which are independently located. At December 31, 2004, the properties and equipment of the Company had an aggregate net book value of approximately $13.5 million. Item 3. Legal Proceedings Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the normal course of business, which, in the opinion of management, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company's consolidated financial condition. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders There were no items submitted to a vote of security holders in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. 12. PART II Item 5. Market For Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities The Company's Common Stock was held by approximately 504 stockholders of record as of March 1, 2005, and is traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "UBCD." The table below indicates the high and low sales prices of the Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq for transactions of which the Company is aware, and the dividends declared per share for the Common Stock during the periods indicated. Because the Company is not aware of the price at which certain private transactions in the Common Stock have occurred, the prices shown may not necessarily represent the complete range of prices at which transactions in the Common Stock have occurred during such periods. Stock Sales ----------------------------------------- Cash High Low Dividends ----------- ------------- ------------- 2003 First Quarter.................................$ 16.86 $ 15.15 $ 0.08 Second Quarter................................ 20.48 16.05 0.09 Third Quarter................................. 22.52 19.25 0.09 Fourth Quarter................................ 24.04 20.00 0.09 2004 First Quarter.................................$ 22.23 $ 21.00 $ 0.09 Second Quarter................................ 23.00 19.25 0.10 Third Quarter................................. 20.88 19.20 0.10 Fourth Quarter................................ 21.94 20.29 0.10 The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, which considers payment of dividends quarterly. Upon the consummation of the 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 UnionBank. 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. UnionBank's 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 the earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of the Company and UnionBank, as well as the general economic conditions and other relevant factors affecting the Company and its subsidiaries. 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. 13. 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 has not made any repurchases of common stock during the fourth quarter of 2004. Item 6.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company's results of operations and financial condition of UnionBancorp, Inc. for the three years ended December 31, 2004. Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with "Selected Consolidated Financial Data," the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and the accompanying notes thereto. Unless otherwise stated, all earnings per share data included in this section and throughout the remainder of this discussion are presented on a fully diluted basis. All financial information is in thousands (000's), except per share data. 15. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934 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. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, changes in these assumptions and estimates could significantly affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Discussed below are those critical accounting policies that are of particular significance to the Company. Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated balance sheet. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management's periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors. The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated component and an unallocated component. The components of the allowance represent an estimation pursuant to either Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. ("SFAS") 5, Accounting for Contingencies, or SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The allocated component of the allowance for loan losses reflects expected losses resulting from analyses developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans and historical loss experience for each loan category. The specific credit allocations are based on regular analyses of all loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. These analyses involve a high degree of judgment in estimating the amount of loss associated with specific loans, including estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral 16. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ values. The Company's historical loss experience is updated quarterly. The allocated component of the allowance for loan losses also includes consideration of concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume and other qualitative factors. There are many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses; some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. The process for determining the allowance (which management believes adequately considers all of the potential factors which might possibly result in credit losses) includes subjective elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differs from management estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect the Company's earnings or financial position in future periods. Mortgage Servicing Rights: We recognize as a separate asset the rights to service mortgage loans for others. Mortgage servicing rights that are retained when mortgage loans are sold are recorded by allocating the previous carrying amount of the sold loan between the servicing rights retained and the loans that are sold. This allocation is based upon the relative fair values of the mortgage servicing rights and the loans sold. The mortgage servicing rights asset is amortized over the projected period of, and in proportion to, the estimated amount of net servicing income. Amortization of the mortgage servicing rights asset will reduce the amount of income that is recorded in the respective period from the servicing of the mortgage loans. As of each reporting period, we evaluate the fair value of our remaining mortgage servicing rights assets. The amount by which the carrying amount of mortgage servicing rights exceeds the new estimate of fair value is charged against earnings for the period. Rather than directly reducing the carrying amount of the mortgage servicing rights asset, a valuation allowance is established for the same amount as the charge against earnings. In subsequent reporting periods, depending upon current estimates of fair value, the valuation allowance may be reversed. The reversal is limited to the remaining amount of the valuation allowance and will result in an increase in recorded earnings. Judgments and assumptions that are most critical to the application of this accounting policy are the appropriate risk-weighted discount rates used to determine the present value of estimated net future cash flows, prepayment speeds that will determine the amount and period of servicing revenue that is expected to be earned, estimated costs to service the loans, and estimated interest earned on amounts collected for real estate tax and property insurance premiums that are held in escrow until payment is due. These assumptions are based upon actual performance of the underlying loans and the general market consensus regarding changes in mortgage and other interest rates. For example, declining mortgage interest rates typically result in accelerated mortgage prepayments, which tend to shorten the life and reduce the value of the servicing rights asset. If different assumptions and conditions were to prevail, materially different amortization and valuation allowances than those that were recorded may be required. Since, as described above, so many factors can affect the value of mortgage servicing rights, it is difficult to predict, with any degree of certainty, the effect on income if different conditions or assumptions were to prevail. General UnionBancorp, Inc. 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 banking operations of its bank subsidiary, but also derives revenue from the Financial Services Division of its bank subsidiary. The Company provides a full 17. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ range of services to individual and corporate customers located in the north central and 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 UnionBank are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. Fourth Quarter The Company completed the merger of UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company into UnionBank early in the fourth quarter. This action was the final step in the Company's efforts to consolidate its entities into a single bank charter. The Company incurred approximately $300 in nonrecurring expenses largely related to the write-down of one of the Company's sales and service center buildings in association with its anticipated closing. The impact to earnings, net of taxes, was approximately $0.05 per diluted share. Third Quarter The Company completed the sale of five of its western Illinois branch offices ("West") on September 10, 2004, selling $40,226 in loans and $88,600 in deposits to First Bankers Trust Company of Quincy. The transaction, which effectively exited the Company from the western Illinois market, yielded a net gain on sale (after allocating a portion of the intangible assets and goodwill, taxes and applicable expenses) of approximately $1,800 or $0.44 per diluted share. Second Quarter The Company completed the sale of its Blandinsville branch office ("Blandinsville") that resulted in a net gain on the sale. The impact to earnings, net of taxes, was approximately $0.07 per diluted share. First Quarter On March 19, 2004 UnionBank/West and UnionBank/Northwest, stand-alone bank subsidiaries, were merged into the Company's flagship bank, UnionBank. Consolidation of these entities was 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. Since UnionBank/West and UnionBank/Northwest were under common control, the merger was accounted for at UnionBank/West's and UnionBank/Northwest's carrying amount which had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with the merger, Prairie and Country were dissolved. 18. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ Additionally, during the first quarter of 2004, the Board of Directors of UnionBancorp, Inc., in a continuing effort to enhance shareholder value, approved the payment of an 11.1% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.10 from $0.09 on the Company's common stock. Finally, during the first quarter of 2004, in an effort to divest of high risk low profit margin product lines, the Company sold its credit card portfolio. Total outstanding balances sold approximated $1,900. The impact to earnings, net of taxes, was approximately $0.04 per diluted share. Results of Operations Net Income 2004 compared to 2003. Net income equaled $4,803 or $1.12 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2004 as compared to net income of $2,130 or $0.48 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2003. This represents a 125.5% increase in net income and a 133.3% increase in diluted per share earnings in the current fiscal year over fiscal 2003. The Company's annual results were positively impacted by the net gain on sale (after allocating a portion of the intangible assets and goodwill, taxes and applicable expenses) and volume related decreases in most noninterest expense categories as a result of the sale of West. Also contributing to the improvement in net income was a decrease in the provision for loan losses and gains taken in as a result of the sale of its credit card portfolio and one additional branch office. These positive variances were partially offset by decreases in mortgage banking revenue due to the slowdown in refinancing opportunities and volume related decreases in net interest income and other fee based revenue due to the sale of West. Return on average assets was 0.65% for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 0.28% for the same period in 2003. Return on average stockholders' equity was 7.06% for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 3.16% for the same period in 2003. 2003 compared to 2002. Net income equaled $2,130 or $0.48 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to net income of $4,044 or $0.94 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002. This represents a 47.3% decrease in net income and a 48.9% decrease in per share earnings in fiscal 2003 as compared to fiscal 2002. The Company's annual results were adversely impacted by a $4,662 increase in the provision for loan losses in 2003 as compared to 2002. This increase during the year was primarily due to the deterioration of two impaired commercial credits identified in the Company's June 30, 2003 Form 10-Q, downgrades of various other credits, and the lingering effects of the soft economy within several markets in which the Company operates. Positively contributing to earnings were increases in operating performance of the mortgage banking division and other fee based revenue product-lines and a decrease in costs associated with other real estate owned ("OREO"). These improvements were partially offset by operating losses at UnionFinancial and an increase in salaries and employee benefits incurred to support the growing level of business activity and continued investments in the Company. Return on average assets was 0.28% for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to 0.53% for the same period in 2002. Return on average stockholders' equity was 3.16% for the year ended December 31, 2003 compared to 6.11% for the same period in 2002. 19. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ Net Interest Income/ Margin Net interest income is the difference between income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred for the funding sources used to finance these assets. Changes in net interest income generally occur due to fluctuations in the volume of earning assets and paying liabilities and rates earned and paid, respectively, on those assets and liabilities. The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as net interest margin, represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin measures how efficiently the Company uses its earning assets and underlying capital. The Company's long-term objective is to manage those assets and liabilities to provide the largest possible amount of income while balancing interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risks. For purposes of this discussion, both net interest income and margin have been adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt securities and loans. 2004 compared to 2003. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $22,378 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared with $26,066 earned during the same period in 2003. This represented a decrease of $3,688 or 14.1%. The decrease in net interest income is attributable to the year-over-year reduction of income earned on interest earning assets totaling $6,334 exceeding the year-over-year reduction of interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities totaling $2,647. The $6,334 reduction in interest income resulted from decreases of $3,756 related to rate and $2,578 due to volume. The majority of the change in interest income was related to a 60 basis point decline in yields earned on average loans as competitive pricing on new and refinanced loans put downward pressure on loan yields. Also contributing to the decrease was a decline in average loan balances due to the sale of West. The $2,647 reduction in interest expense resulted from decreases of $1,633 associated with rate and $1,013 associated with volume. The majority of the change was attributable to a reduction in rates paid on time deposits due to the repricing of maturing time deposits at a lower rate. Also contributing to the decrease was a decline in average loan balances due to the sale of West. The net interest margin decreased 31 basis points to 3.34% for the year ended December 31, 2004 from 3.65% during the same period in 2003. The decline resulted primarily from a decrease in yields earned on average loans as competitive pricing on new and refinanced loans, as well as the repricing of variable rate loans in a relative lower interest rate environment, put downward pressure on loan yields. 2003 compared to 2002. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $26,066 for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared with $26,289 earned during the same period in 2002. This represented a decrease of $223 or 0.1%. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to the year-over-year reduction of income earned on interest earning assets totaling $4,512 exceeding the year-over-year reduction of interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities totaling $4,289. The $4,512 reduction in interest income resulted from a decrease of $4,963 related to rate, partially offset by an increase of $451 due to volume. The majority of the change in interest income was related to a 62 basis point decline in yields earned on average loans as competitive pricing on new and refinanced loans, as well as the repricing of variable rate loans in a lower interest rate environment, put downward pressure on loan yields. Also adversely contributing to the change was a shift in the earning-asset mix away from higher yielding loans to lower yielding investments. The $4,289 reduction in interest expense resulted from decreases of $4,451 associated with rate partially offset by an increase of $162 associated with volume. The majority of the change was attributable to an 86 basis point reduction in rates paid on time deposits due 20. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ to the repricing dynamics of maturing time deposits, as well as certain steps taken during this period to more favorably manage the mix of funding sources available to the Company. The net interest margin decreased 9 basis points to 3.65% for the year ended December 31, 2003 from 3.74% during the same period in 2002. The decline resulted primarily from a decrease in yields earned on average loans. 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 2004, 2003 and 2002. 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.

The amount of the provision for loan losses is based on management's evaluations of the loan portfolio, with particular attention directed toward nonperforming, impaired and other potential problem loans. During these evaluations, consideration is also given to such factors as management's evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of impaired 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. 2004 compared to 2003. The 2004 provision for loan losses charged to operating expense totaled $1,924, a decrease of $6,312 in comparison to the $8,236 recorded during the same period for 2003. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was due to an improvement in nonperforming and action/watch list loans from year-end 2003 to year-end 2004, as well as resolutions, either through charge-off of nonbankable assets or through successful workout strategies that were executed throughout 2004. The Company's 2003 provisions were largely attributable to the deterioration of two impaired commercial credits identified in the Company's 10-Q report filed for the quarter ended June 20, 2003. As a result of the deterioration of these two loan relationships, the Company specifically provided $3,500 to its allowance for loan losses during the third quarter of 2003 for the losses incurred on these two credits. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $1,029 compared with $5,675 in the same period of 2003. Annualized net charge-offs decreased to 0.23% of average loans for 2004 compared to 1.18% in the same period in 2003. Management remains watchful of credit quality issues and believes that issues within the portfolio are reflective of the challenging economic environment experienced over the past few years. Should the economic climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision for loan losses. 2003 compared to 2002. The 2003 provision for loan losses charged to operating expense totaled $8,236, an increase of $4,662 in comparison to the $3,574 recorded during the same period in 2002. The Company's provisions were largely attributable to the deterioration of two impaired commercial credits identified in the Company's June 30, 2003 Form 10-Q. As a result of the deterioration of these two loan relationships, the Company specifically provided $3,500 to its allowance for loan losses during the third quarter of 2003 for the 23. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ losses incurred on these two credits. The action comes as a result of management's ongoing workout analysis of these two commercial loan relationships and their current financial status and trends. Primary elements of the debtor corporations filed bankruptcy reorganization proceedings in early September. In both instances, these credits were worth substantially more as ongoing entities than the liquidation of their assets. During the third quarter, the $3,778 loan to a chain of retail convenience outlets was placed on non-accrual. The second credit, a $2,521 loan to a company which conducted business in the agricultural field was placed on nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2003. This agricultural company essentially ceased operations during the third quarter of 2003 resulting in $1,897 of the outstanding loan balance being charged off. In addition, the Company provided $2,000 to its allowance for loan losses during the fourth quarter of 2003 after an ongoing review of the overall credit quality in the loan portfolio noted a continued deterioration in several seasoned credits during the quarter, downgrades of various other credits, and lingering effects of the soft economy within several markets in which the Company operates. 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. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $5,675 compared with $3,419 in the same period of 2002. Annualized net charge-offs increased to 1.18% of average loans for 2003 compared to 0.70% in the same period in 2002. The increased level of net charge-offs, as compared to 2002, 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. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists of a wide variety of fee-based revenues from bank-related service charges on deposits and mortgage revenues. Also included in this category are revenues generated by the Company's insurance, brokerage, trust and asset management services as well as increases in cash surrender value on bank-owned life insurance. The following table summarizes the Company's noninterest income: NONINTEREST INCOME (Dollars in Thousands) Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------------ 2004 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- ---------- Service charges $ 2,866 $ 3,090 $ 2,812 Merchant fee income 56 560 1,185 Trust income 740 701 775 Mortgage banking income 2,020 3,947 2,843 Insurance commissions and fees 2,234 2,318 2,188 Bank owned life insurance (BOLI) 573 681 12 Securities gains (losses), net 123 281 407 Gain on sale of assets 4,263 -- -- Other income 1,227 2,141 2,233 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total noninterest income $ 14,102 $ 13,719 $ 12,455 ========== ========== ========== 24. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ 2004 compared to 2003. Noninterest income totaled $14,102 for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to $13,719 for the same timeframe in 2003. This represented an increase of $383 or 2.8% in 2004 over the prior period. Excluding net securities gains and the gains on sale of West, the Company's credit card portfolio and Blandinsville, noninterest income shows a year-over-year decrease of $3,722 or 27.7%. As a percentage of total income (net interest income plus noninterest income), noninterest income, exclusive of securities gains and gain on sale of five western Illinois branch locations, decreased to 31.0% in 2004 versus 34.8% for 2003. Excluding net securities gains and gains on sale of West, Blandinsville and the credit card portfolio, the majority of the change to noninterest income was related to a $1,927 decline in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income, which includes gains generated from the sale of loans and net servicing revenue (after amortization of mortgage servicing rights), was lower in 2004 due to a decrease in mortgage origination volume partially offset by an increase in revenue generated by the servicing rights portfolio due to the slowdown in refinancing activity. Also contributing to the change was a decrease in merchant fee income due to the sale of the credit card portfolio and volume related decreases in service charges, nsf fees, and other fee based revenue related to the sale of West. The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes. 2003 compared to 2002. Noninterest income totaled $13,719 for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $12,455 for the same timeframe in 2002. This represented an increase of $1,264 or 10.1% in 2003 over the prior period. Excluding net securities gains of $281 in 2003 and $407 in 2002, noninterest income shows a year-over-year increase of $1,390 or 11.5%. As a percentage of total income (net interest income plus noninterest income), noninterest income, exclusive of securities gains, increased to 34.8% in 2003 versus 31.9% for 2002. The majority of the change to noninterest income was related to a $1,104 improvement in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income includes gains generated from the sale of loans and net servicing revenue (after amortization of mortgage servicing rights). Originations for 2003 grew to $241,864 from $183,481 for the same period in 2002. Net gains on mortgage activities were higher in 2003 due to higher mortgage origination volume and lower interest rates. Offsetting these gains, were noncash amortization charges in the carrying value of our mortgage servicing rights asset. These charges were due to increased refinancing activity, driven by the declining interest rate environment. Also contributing to the improvement were increases in service charges reflecting higher volumes of items drawn on customer accounts with insufficient funds, insurance and commissions income largely due to increased brokerage activity and revenue generated from incremental investments in bank-owned life insurance (included in other income). Offsetting these improvements were decreases in merchant fee income and ISP income due to the divestiture of these product lines in the second quarter of 2003. The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes. 25. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense is comprised primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and other operating expense. The following table summarizes the Company's noninterest expense: NONINTEREST EXPENSE (Dollars in Thousands) Years Ended December 31, ------------------------------------ 2004 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- ---------- Salaries and employee benefits $ 15,410 $ 16,020 $ 15,284 Occupancy expense, net 2,461 2,138 1,868 Furniture and equipment expenses 2,215 2,094 1,820 Marketing 615 709 656 Supplies and printing 435 541 525 Telephone 546 874 1,074 Other real estate expense 8 178 919 Amortization of intangible assets 337 247 245 Other expense 4,954 5,806 6,635 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total noninterest expense $ 26,981 $ 28,607 $ 29,026 ========== ========== ========== 2004 compared to 2003. Noninterest expense totaled $26,981 for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to $28,607 for the same timeframe in 2003. This represented a decrease of $1,626 or 5.7% in 2004 from 2003. A majority of the savings in noninterest expense was due to $724 in cost savings associated with the divestiture of the credit card portfolio (included in other expenses) and a $610 decline in salaries and employee benefits expense due to the sale of West and other reductions in staffing levels. Also contributing to the change were decreases in telephone costs related to the reduction of the number of data lines utilized in the Company's infrastructure and savings in other real estate expense related to the resolution of certain other real estate properties. These cost savings were partially offset by increases in occupancy and equipment expense related to a full year of expenses from our Yorkville branch that was opened in December of 2003 and the write-down of one of the Company's sales and service center buildings in association with its anticipated closing. The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes. 2003 compared to 2002. Noninterest expense totaled $28,607 for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to $29,026 for the same timeframe in 2002. This represented a decrease of $419 or 1.4% in 2003 from 2002. A majority of the decrease in noninterest expense was due to a $741 decrease in other real estate owned expense due to the resolution of foreclosed assets during the year. Also contributing to the change were decreases of $581 decrease in merchant expense due to the divestiture of the POS product line in the second quarter of 2003 (included in other expenses) and $200 in telephone expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $736 increase in salary and employee benefits related to variable commission expense resulting from higher production volume from the mortgage banking and financial services business lines. These areas of the Company operate at a lower gross profit margin and historically generate significant levels of noninterest income but also incur considerable noninterest expense. The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes. 26. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ 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, --------------------------------------- 2004 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- ---------- Income before income taxes $ 6,859 $ 2,001 $ 5,178 Applicable income taxes 2,056 (129) 1,134 Effective tax rates 30.0% (6.45%) 21.9% 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 $207 of preferred stock dividends in 2004, $193 of preferred stock dividends in 2003 and $257 of preferred stock dividends in 2002. 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 UnionBank depends, to a substantial extent, on "rate differentials," i.e., the differences between the income UnionBank receives 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 UnionBank, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. The Company measures its overall interest rate sensitivity through a net interest income analysis. The net interest income analysis measures the change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis assesses the risk of changes in net interest income in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 200 basis point increase in market interest rates or a 100 basis point decrease in market rates. The interest rates 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 2004 and 2003 for the various rate shock levels.

The effect of an immediate 100 basis point decrease in rates would decrease the Company's net interest income by $120 or 0.53%. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company did not present an immediate 200 basis point decrease in its Asset Liability model due to the abnormally low prevailing interest rate environment. Financial Condition General. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had total assets of $669,546, gross loans of $419,275, total deposits of $512,477, and total stockholders' equity of $70,247. Total assets as of December 31, 2004 decreased by $123,876 or 15.6% from year-end 2003. Total gross loans as of December 31, 2004 decreased $57,537 or 12.1% from year-end 2003. Approximately $40,400 or 70.2% of this reduction was related to the sale of West and Blandinsville. Total deposits as of December 31, 2004 decreased by $125,555 or 19.7% from year-end 2003. Approximately $88,600 or 70.6% of this reduction was related to the sale of West and Blandinsville. Loans and Asset Quality.

UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ Rate sensitivities of the total loan portfolio, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2004 were as follows: LOAN REPRICING (Dollars in Thousands) Within 1 to 5 After 5 1 Year Years Years Total ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Fixed rate $ 69,806 $ 65,405 $ 18,826 $ 154,037 Variable rate 158,938 100,271 2,380 261,589 Nonaccrual 1,162 1,037 1,450 3,649 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total $ 229,906 $ 166,713 $ 22,656 $ 419,275 ========== ========== ========== ========== 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. The classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily indicate that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in part. UnionBank makes a determination as to collectibility on a case-by-case basis. UnionBank considers both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans. The final determination as to 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. 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. 30. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ The following table sets forth a summary of nonperforming assets: NONPERFORMING ASSETS (Dollars in Thousands) December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Nonaccrual loans $ 3,649 $ 8,149 $ 3,931 $ 7,259 $ 5,777 Loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest 553 328 829 1,616 2,102 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total nonperforming loans 4,202 8,477 4,760 8,875 7,879 Other real estate owned 420 227 1,557 1,886 467 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total nonperforming assets $ 4,622 $ 8,704 $ 6,317 $ 10,761 $ 8,346 ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== Nonperforming loans to total loans 1.00% 1.78% 0.99% 1.76% 1.56% Nonperforming assets to total loans 1.10 1.83 1.31 2.13 1.65 Nonperforming assets to total assets 0.69 1.10 0.80 1.44 1.10 The level of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2004 decreased to $4,202 versus the $8,477 that existed as of December 31, 2003. The level of nonperforming loans to total end of period loans was 1.00% at December 31, 2004, as compared to 1.78% at December 31, 2003. The reserve coverage ratio (allowance to nonperforming loans) was reported at 231.6% as of December 31, 2004 as compared to 106.30% as of December 31, 2003. Other Potential Problem Loans. The Company has other potential problem loans that are currently performing and do not meet the criteria for impairment, but where some concern exists. Excluding nonperforming loans and loans that management has classified as impaired, these other potential problem loans totaled $7,782 at December 31, 2004 as compared to $5,086 at December 31, 2003. The classification of these loans, however, does not imply that management expects losses on each of these loans. Rather, management 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. The following table sets forth a summary of other real estate owned and other collateral acquired at December 31, 2004: OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED (Dollars in Thousands) Number Net Book of Carrying Parcels Value ---------- ---------- Developed property 4 $ 420 Vacant land or unsold lots -- -- ---------- ---------- Total other real estate owned 4 $ 420 ========== ========== Allowance for Loan Losses. At December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses was $9,732 or 2.32% of total loans as compared to $9,011 or 1.89% at December 31, 2003. 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 31. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ the loans in its portfolio, 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 reviews 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. Based on an estimation computed pursuant to the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," and FASB Statements Nos. 114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," the analysis of the allowance for loan losses consists of three components: (i) specific credit allocation established for expected losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit allocations on individual loans for which the recorded investment in the loan exceeds its fair value; (ii) general portfolio allocation based on historical loan loss experience for each loan category; and (iii) subjective reserves based on general economic conditions as well as specific economic factors in the markets in which the Company operates. The specific credit allocation component of the allowance for loan losses is based on a regular analysis of loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. The fair value of the loan is determined based on either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the market price of the loan, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral less cost of sale. The general portfolio allocation component of the allowance for loan losses is determined statistically using a loss migration analysis that examines historical loan loss experience. The loss migration analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly based on actual experience. The general portfolio allocation element of the allowance for loan losses also includes consideration of the amounts necessary for concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume. The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed monthly, and as adjustments, either positive or negative, become necessary, a corresponding increase or decrease is made in the provision for loan losses. The composition of the loan portfolio has not significantly changed since year-end 2003. The methodology used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistent with prior years, and there were no reallocations. Management remains watchful of credit quality issues and believes that issues within the portfolio are reflective of the challenging economic environment experienced over the past few years. Should the economic climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further increases in the provision. 32.

In 2004 management included the subjective portion of the allowance as a part of the allocation process to the respective loan categories. Management does not deem this process to be a change in methodology, but rather a refinement in their loan loss calculation. Management believes that there would be no change in the balance of the allowance for loan losses if this approach was used in all of the years presented. Securities Activities. The Company's consolidated securities portfolio, which represented 32.7% of the Company's average earning asset base as of December 31, 2004, as compared to 31.8% as of December 31, 2003, is managed to minimize interest rate risk, maintain sufficient liquidity, and maximize return. The portfolio includes several callable agency debentures, adjustable rate mortgage pass-throughs, and collateralized mortgage obligations. Corporate bonds consist of investment grade obligations of public corporations. Equity securities consist of Federal Reserve stock, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, and trust preferred stock. The Company's financial planning anticipates income streams generated by the securities portfolio based on normal maturity and reinvestment. Securities classified as available-for-sale, carried at fair value, were $191,661 at December 31, 2004 compared to $252,248 at December 31, 2003. The Company does not have any securities classified as trading or held-to-maturity. 34. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ 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 used in investing activities offset by those provided by operating activities and financing activities, resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $604 from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. During 2004, the Company experienced net cash outflows of $26,095 in financing activities primarily due to a decrease in deposits related to the sale of West and Blandinsville. In contrast, net cash inflows (1) of $9,810 were provided by operating activities due to proceeds from net loans sales and net income, and (2) of $16,889 were provided by investing activities due to proceeds from sales and maturities of, and paydowns from securities partially offset by cash generated from the sale of West. UnionBank's securities portfolio, federal funds sold, and cash and due from bank deposit balances serve as the primary sources of liquidity for the Company. At December 31, 2004, 22.6% of UnionBank's 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, UnionBank's liquidity could be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities of UnionBank's large time deposits are spread throughout the year, with 27.1% maturing in the first quarter of 2005, 12.7% maturing in the second quarter of 2005, 28.5% maturing in the third and fourth quarters of 2005, and the remaining 31.7% maturing thereafter. UnionBank monitors those maturities in an effort to minimize any adverse effect on liquidity. The Company's borrowings included notes payable at December 31, 2004 in the principal amount of $6,275 payable to the Company's principal correspondent bank and $354 payable to individuals related to the purchase of the Howard Marshall Agency. The note to the Company's principal correspondent bank is renewable annually, requires quarterly interest payments, and is collateralized by the Company's stock in the Bank. The note related to the purchase of the Howard Marshall Agency requires monthly principal and interest payments. 37. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ The Company's principal source of funds for repayment of the indebtedness is dividends from UnionBank. At December 31, 2004, approximately $5,400 was available for dividends without regulatory approval. Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingencies, and Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments The Company has entered into contractual obligations and commitments and off-balance sheet financial instruments. The following tables summarize the Company's contractual cash obligations and other commitments and off-balance sheet instruments as of December 31, 2004: Payments Due by Period ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Within 1 After Contractural Obligations Year 1-3 Years 4-5 Years 5 Years Total ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Short-term debt $ 6,275 $ -- $ -- $ -- $ 6,275 Long-term debt -- -- 354 -- 354 Series B Mandatory redeemable preferred stock -- 831 -- -- 831 FHLB Advances 16,900 18,500 18,300 8,200 61,900 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total contractual cash obligations $ 23,175 $ 19,331 $ 18,654 $ 8,200 $ 69,360 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Amount of Commitment Expiration per Period ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Within 1 After Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments Year 1-3 Years 4-5 Years 5 Years Total ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Lines of credit $ 67,860 $ 4,774 $ 4,674 $ 12,707 $ 90,015 Standby letters of credit 3,293 1,038 -- -- 4,331 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total commercial commitments $ 71,153 $ 5,812 $ 4,674 $ 12,707 $ 94,346 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ Capital Resources Stockholders' Equity The Company is committed to managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and maintaining strong protection for depositors and creditors. Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2004 was $70,247, an increase of $2,200 or 3.2%, from December 31, 2003. The stockholders' equity increase was largely the result of earnings for 2004 less dividends paid to shareholders and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. Average equity as a percentage of average assets was 9.3% at December 31, 2004, compared to 8.9% at December 31, 2003. Book value per common share equaled $17.30 at December 31, 2004, an increase from $16.77 reported at the end of 2003. Stock Repurchase Programs On May 2, 2003, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan whereby the Company may repurchase from time to time up to 5% of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market or in private transactions over an 18 month period. On September 23, 2004, the Board of Directors extended the Company's stock repurchase program through May 2, 2006. Under the terms of the plan, the Company is able to repurchase, from time to time, up to 5% of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market or in private transactions. Purchases are dependent upon market conditions and the availability of shares. The extension of the repurchase program enables the Company to optimize its use of capital relative to other investment alternatives and benefits both the Company and the shareholders by enhancing earnings per share and return on equity. As December 31, 2004, the Company has repurchased 18,500 shares at a weighted average cost of $18.62. 38. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (In Thousands, Except Share Data) ================================================================================ Capital Measurements UnionBank is expected to meet a minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%, of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in the form of Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%) may be in the form of Tier 1 (core) or Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. The amount of loan loss allowance that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The ratio of Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for the Company was 13.0% and 14.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2004. The Company is currently, and expects to continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines. As of December 31, 2004, the Tier 2 risk-based capital was comprised of $6,067 in allowance for loan losses (limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). 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. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's capital ratios: RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS (Dollars in Thousands) December 31, Minimum Well -------------------------------------- Capital Capitalized 2004 2003 2002 Ratios Ratios ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Tier 1 risk-based capital $ 63,347 $ 59,851 $ 58,755 Tier 2 risk-based capital 6,067 7,790 7,281 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total capital 69,414 67,641 66,036 Risk-weighted assets 485,325 556,729 557,620 Capital ratios Tier 1 risk-based capital 13.0% 10.8% 10.5% 4.0% 6.0% Tier 2 risk-based capital 14.3 12.2 11.8 8.0 10.0 Leverage ratio 9.5 7.7 7.5 4.0 5.0 Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Monetary Policies The financial statements and related financial data concerning the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. 39.

Additionally, the Company and its subsidiary UnionBank 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 UnionBank. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practice in the banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information that affects 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, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, value of mortgage servicing rights, deferred taxes, 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 UnionBank, 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, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, Bank owned life insurance 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. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) (Continued) 48.

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) the Company's ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. 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. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not temporary. 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, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no material derivative instruments. Loan commitments and related financial instruments - -------------------------------------------------- Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments such as commitments to make loans and commercial 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. 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. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Consumer and credit card loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. 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. Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the cost allocated to the servicing right. Gains and losses on sales of (Continued) 49. 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 loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. 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. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. 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, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for a grouping. 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. Costs after acquisition are expensed. (Continued) 50. UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Premises and equipment - ---------------------- Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Building and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 15 to 39 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line (or accelerated) method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. 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 company-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 $37.0 million and $36.4 million with an approximate cash surrender value of $15.0 million and $14.4 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Goodwill and other intangible assets - ------------------------------------ Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. 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 over their estimated useful lives, which is ten years. 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. (Continued) 51. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

Diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of any dilutive potential common shares under stock options and Series A convertible preferred shares using the treasury stock method. 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 price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant.

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Stockholders' Equity: - --------------------- Preferred stock - --------------- The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes its Board of Directors to fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of 200,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company has the following classes of preferred stock issued or authorized: Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: The Company has authorized 2,765 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There were 2,762.24 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued at December 31, 2004 and 2003. Preferential cumulative cash dividends are payable quarterly at an annual rate of $75.00 per share. Dividends accrue on each share of Series A Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and from day to day thereafter, whether or not earned or declared. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into 172,140 common shares. Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable for cash. Upon dissolution, winding up, or liquidation of the Company, voluntary or otherwise, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, the amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment or distribution may be made on shares of common stock or any other securities issued by the Company that rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock: The Company has authorized 1,092 shares of Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock. There were 831 shares of Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock issued at December 31, 2004 and 2003. Preferential cumulative cash dividends are payable quarterly at an annual rate of $60.00 per share. Dividends accrue on each share of Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and from day to day, thereafter, whether or not earned or declared. Each original holder of Series B Preferred Stock (or upon such holder's death, their executor or personal representatives) will have the option, exercisable at their sole discretion, to sell, and the Company will be obligated to redeem such holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon the earlier to occur of the death of the respective original holder of Series B Preferred Stock or August 6, 2006. The per share price payable by the Company for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be equal to $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Upon dissolution, wind up, or liquidation of the Company, voluntary or otherwise, holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, the amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment or distribution may be made on shares of common stock or any other securities issued by the Company that rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company adopted FASB Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments With Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equities, during the fourth quarter of 2004. Statement 150 requires reporting mandatorily redeemable shares as liabilities, as well as obligations not in the form of shares to repurchase shares that may require cash payment and some obligations that may be settled by issuing a variable number of equity shares. To comply with this statement, the Company reclassified 831 shares of Series B mandatory redeemable preferred stock into liabilities for (Continued) 53. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) balance sheet presentation for the 2003 year. In addition, the dividends in the fourth quarter of 2003 were reclassified to interest expense. Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock: The Company has authorized 4,500 shares of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock. There were no shares issued at December 31, 2004 and 2003. The Series C Preferred Stock is only issuable upon exercise of rights issued pursuant to the Company's Stockholder Rights Plan. Each share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock is entitled to, when, as, and if declared, a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of $3.00 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate dividend of 1,000 times the dividend declared per share of common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential payment of $1,000 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) and will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 1,000 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will have 1,000 votes, voting together with the common stock. 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. 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. Fair value of financial instruments - ----------------------------------- Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. (Continued) 54. UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) 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. Adoption of new accounting standards - ------------------------------------ FAS 123, Revised, requires all public companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. This will apply to awards granted or modified after the first quarter or year beginning after June 15, 2005. Compensation cost will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption. The effect of the results of operations will depend on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided, and so cannot currently be predicted. Existing options that will vest after adoption date are expected to result in additional compensation expense of approximately $36,000 during the balance of 2005, $45,000 in 2006, $24,000 in 2007, and $12,000 in 2008. There will be no significant effect on financial position as total equity will not change. FAS 153 modifies an exception from fair value measurement of nonmonetary exchanges. Exchanges that are not expected to result in the significant changes in cash flows of the reporting entity are not measured at fair value. This supersedes the prior exemption from fair value measurement for exchange of similar productive assets, and applies for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. SOP 03-1 clarifies the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment and its application to investments classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and investments accounted for under the cost method or the equity method. The recognition and measurement guidance for which the consensus was reached is to be applied to other-than-temporary impairment evaluations. In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a final FASB Staff Position, FSP EITF Issue 03-1-1, which has delayed the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance of EITF 03-1. The comment period is currently open related to this staff position. The implementation date is unknown until further guidance is issued by the FASB. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting EITF 03-1. SOP 03-3 requires that valuation allowance for loans acquired in a transfer, including in a business combination, reflect only losses incurred after acquisition and should not be recorded at acquisition. It applies to any loan acquired in a transfer that showed evidence of credit quality deterioration since it was made. (Continued) 55. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The effect of these other new standards on the Company's financial position and results of operations is not expected to be material upon and after adoption. Operating segments - ------------------ Internal financial information is primarily reported and aggregated in the following lines of business: banking, mortgage banking, financial services, and other. Reclassifications - ----------------- Certain items in the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 have been reclassified, with no effect on net income, to conform with the current year presentation. Note 2. Business Acquisitions and Divestitures On May 22, 2003, the Company sold its Internet Service Provider ("ISP") product line. The Company sold the related assets of the product line, subscriber accounts, and the "sainet.net" and "udnet.net" domains for approximately $364. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $237 on the sale. On October 31, 2003, the Company purchased the assets of the Howard Marshall Agency including Walnut Street Securities. The Company purchased the customer lists of Howard Marshall and Walnut Street for a total of $580 and fixed assets totaling $20. In addition, an additional $125 can be paid on the fifth anniversary of the closing date if certain performance criteria are met. This acquisition was incorporated into UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company. On May 3, 2004, the Company sold the deposits and premises of a UnionBank/West branch location. At the date of sale, the branch had approximately $12,535 in deposits, $1,720 in loans, and $336 in fixed assets. The sale price was $440. On September 10, 2004, the Company completed the sale of five branch offices located in western Illinois. Per the terms of the agreement announced on May 24, 2004, First Bankers Trust Company of Quincy, Illinois acquired the physical assets, $88,600 in deposits, and $40,226 of the net loan portfolio of UnionBank's Quincy, Macomb, Paloma, Carthage and Rushville, Illinois offices. This transaction effectively exited UnionBank from the western Illinois marketplace. The sales price was approximately $4.4 million. The Company also allocated $679 of goodwill to the sale of these branches as well as amortized the remaining core deposit intangible assigned to the deposits sold of $192. At the date of sale the branch had the following assets and liabilities: Cash and cash equivalents $ 675 Loans 40,226 Premises and equipment 2,495 Other assets 235 Deposits (88,600) Other liabilities (296) (Continued) 56.

Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer's financial condition. The unrealized losses on all securities have not been recognized into income because the securities are of high credit quality and management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and the decline in fair value is largely due to increases in market interest rates.

Regulatory Matters The Company and UnionBank 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 UnionBank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Upon receiving regulatory approval, the Company merged UnionBank and UnionBank/Central in March of 2003, UnionBank and UnionBank/West and UnionBank/Northwest in March of 2004 and UnionBank and UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company in October of 2004.

Regulatory Matters (Continued) Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and UnionBank 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, 2004, that the Company and UnionBank meets all of the capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification from the corresponding regulatory agency categorized UnionBank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, UnionBank 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 UnionBank's categories.

At December 31, 2004, UnionBank had $5.4 million of retained earnings available for dividends under these regulations. Note 15. 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 and redeemable stock 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) 72. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued) The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as follows: December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2003 ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 22,802 $ 22,802 $ 22,198 $ 22,198 Securities 191,661 191,661 252,248 252,248 Loans 409,543 412,728 467,801 470,055 Accrued interest receivable 4,151 4,151 5,440 5,440 Financial liabilities Deposits 512,477 502,805 638,032 638,794 Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase 12,722 12,722 1,533 1,533 Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank 61,900 61,669 72,450 74,032 Series B mandatorily redeemable preferred stock 831 831 831 831 Notes payable 6,629 6,629 7,873 7,873 Accrued interest payable 2,474 2,474 2,443 2,443 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 16. 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. UnionBank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. 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) 73. UNIONBANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (In Thousands, Except Share Data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 16. Commitments, Contingencies, and Credit Risk (Continued) UnionBank'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. UnionBank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does 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, 2004 $ 4,331 $ 64,787 $ 25,228 $ 94,346 2.25% - 18.00% December 31, 2003 $ 3,752 $ 67,624 $ 28,793 $ 100,169 3.00% - 12.50% 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, UnionBank evaluates 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 UnionBank 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 certain 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. Note 17. Condensed Financial Information - Parent Company Only The primary source of funds for the Company is dividends from its subsidiaries. By regulation, UnionBank is prohibited from paying dividends that would reduce regulatory capital below a specific percentage of assets without regulatory approval. As a practical matter, dividend payments are restricted to maintain prudent capital levels. (Continued) 74. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

(B) A reclassification was made to the third quarter information to allocate a portion of the allowance for loan losses to the loans sold as part of the branch sales during the quarter. This reclassification had no impact on the balance sheet or income, as noninterest income was increased by $174 and the provision for loan losses was increased by $174. (C) The net income for the quarter was impacted by an increase in the provision for loan losses, which was influenced by deterioration in the overall credit quality and the impact of various identified credits.

Controls and Procedures The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation, with the participation of other members of management as they deemed appropriate, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as contemplated by Exchange Act Rule 13a-14 as of December 31, 2004. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the periodic reports the Company is required to file and submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act. There were no significant changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
