UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of UnionBancorp, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For further information with respect to significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The results of the interim periods ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 1999. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" will, in 2000, require all derivatives to be recorded at fair value in the balance sheet, with changes in fair value charged or credited to income. If derivatives are documented and effective as hedges, the change in the derivative fair value will be offset by an equal change in the fair value of the hedged item. Under the new standard, securities held-to-maturity can no longer be hedged, except for changes in the issuer's creditworthiness. Therefore, upon adoption of Statement No. 133, companies will have another one-time window of opportunity to reclassify held-to-maturity securities to either trading or available-for-sale, provided certain criteria are met. This Statement may be adopted early at the start of a calendar quarter. On July 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement No. 133, which allows the Company a one-time reclassification of securities held-to-maturity to available-for-sale or trading. The Company transferred securities with an amortized cost of $44,350,000 previously classified as held-to-maturity to available-for-sale upon adoption. The unrealized gain on the securities transferred was $106,000 on July 1, 1999 and the Company's equity increased by $66,000 as a result of the transfer. Statement No. 134 on mortgage banking will, in 1999, allow mortgage loans that are securitized to be classified as trading, available-for-sale, or, in certain circumstances, held-to-maturity. Currently, these must be classified as trading. Since the Company has not securitized mortgage loans, Statement No. 134 is not expected to affect the Company. The Financial Accounting Standards Board continues to study several issues, including recording all financial instruments at fair value and abolishing pooling-of-interests accounting. On September 8, 1999, the FASB issued an exposure draft which proposes to eliminate pooling-of-interest accounting for business combinations. Any business combination entered into after the effective date of this provision will be required to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The FASB will accept comments on this proposed rule until December 7, 1999 and a final statement is expected to become effective during the fourth quarter of 2000. 5. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL During the third quarter of 1999, the Company announced that it had signed an agreement under which its UnionBank/ West subsidiary will acquire the Rushville, Illinois branch office of Associated Bank Illinois, Rockford, Illinois. The acquisition is scheduled to consummate during the fourth quarter of 1999. The addition of the Rushville branch is intended to extend UnionBank/ West's operations into adjacent markets. During the first quarter of 1999, UnionBank/ West opened a branch office in Quincy, Illinois, and in the second quarter UnionBank opened a branch office in Mendota, Illinois. Both of these banking centers were established in order to further reinvest into growth markets. In addition, the Company announced that it had purchased 220,000 of its own shares in a privately negotiated transaction during the first quarter of 1999. The discussion presented below provides an analysis of the Company's results of operations and financial condition during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same periods in 1998. Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report as well as the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year of 1999. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE Net income for the third quarter increased to $1,446,000, or $0.34 per share (diluted), compared to the $1,412,000, or $0.32 per share (diluted), earned in the same period of 1998. This represents a 6.3% increase in per share earnings and a 2.4% increase in net income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased to $4,247,000, or $0.98 per share (diluted), compared to the $3,975,000, or $0.90 per share (diluted), earned in the same period of 1998. This represents an 8.9% increase in per share earnings and a 6.8% increase in net income. Cash earnings per share for the nine month periods increased to $1.07 from $1.03 during the same time frame. Cash earnings consists of the Company's net income plus the income statement impact of the purchase accounting adjustments, tax affected where appropriate. Return on average assets was 0.84% for the third quarter of 1999, compared to the 0.86% for the same period in 1998. Return on average assets increased to 0.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to 0.84% for the same period in 1998. Cash return on average assets for the nine month period was 0.95%, as compared to 0.96% during the same time frame. Cash return on average assets consists of the cash earnings described above divided by average assets less intangibles. Return on average stockholders' equity was 10.27% for the third quarter of 1999, as compared to 10.30% for the same period in 1998. Return on average stockholders' equity was 10.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to 10.02% for the same period in 1998. Return on tangible equity capital for the nine month period decreased to 12.81%, as compared to 13.36% during the same time frame. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $6,234,000 for the third quarter of 1999, representing an increase of $268,000 or 4.5% over the $5,966,000 earned during the same period in 1998. This improvement in net 8. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- interest income was attributable to higher interest income of $151,000 and a reduction in interest expense of $117,000. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 1999 remained stable at 3.92% as compared to 3.93% for the same time frame in 1998. The slight decrease in the net interest margin was primarily attributable to competitive conditions that resulted in the lower pricing of loans in the third quarter of 1999 which contributed to a decrease in average rates earned on the loan portfolio. Specifically, yields on loans decreased 56 basis points to 8.63% in the third quarter of 1999 as compared to 9.19% for the third quarter of 1998. Partially offsetting this was a 30 basis point reduction in the cost of funds which was due to interest bearing liabilities repricing at lower rates. The $151,000 quarter to quarter improvement in interest income was primarily attributable to a $28.2 million increase in the volume of average earning assets. Offsetting the increase in interest income resulting from higher volumes was a corresponding decrease in the loan yields described above. The $117,000 decrease in interest expense resulted from a $488,000 decrease associated with rate that was offset by a $371,000 increase in volume. A majority of the decrease in interest expense was related to a 42 basis point decline in rates on time deposits that repriced at lower rates in addition to a reduction of $7.9 million in the volume of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements. The increase in volume associated with advances from the FHLB was due to the Company's continued utilization of this favorable low cost funding alternative. This particular funding mechanism was employed to attract certain maturities to match and fund term assets. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 totaled $18,451,000, representing an increase of $748,000 or 4.2% over the $17,703,000 earned during the same period in 1998. This improvement in net interest income was attributable to lower interest expense of $798,000 which was partially offset by lower interest income of $50,000. The net interest margin for the first nine months of 1999 increased to 4.06% as compared to 4.03% for the same period in 1998. The improvement in the net interest margin was primarily attributable to a $19.7 million increase in the volume of average earning assets in conjunction with a 33 basis point reduction in the cost of funds. 9. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense for the third quarter of 1999 equaled $323,000 as compared to $319,000 for the same quarter in 1998. For the nine month period ending September 30, 1999, the provision for loan losses charged to operating expense equaled $924,000 as compared to $1,200,000 for the like period in 1998. The amount of the provision for loan losses is dependent upon management's assessment of its loan portfolio, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, net charge-offs, delinquencies, collateral values and prevailing economic conditions. NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income totaled $2,506,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $1,834,000 for the same time frame in 1998. Exclusive of net securities gains, noninterest income increased by $692,000 or a 38.2% improvement. The bulk of the increase was largely related to insurance commissions and fees totaling $608,000 that were associated with the fourth quarter of 1998 acquisition of an insurance agency. Also contributing to the improvement in noninterest income was growth in mortgage banking income of $132,000, increases in revenue associated with internet service provider (ISP) of $79,000, and merchant fee income of $73,000. This was offset by a $198,000 decrease in other income related to a $122,000 gain on sale of property taken during the third quarter of 1998 and $49,000 in revenue from a collection agency the Company divested during the fourth quarter of 1998. Noninterest income totaled $7,074,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to $5,202,000 for the same time frame in 1998. Factoring out net securities gains, noninterest income increased by $1,806,000 or a 35.1% improvement. The 35.1% increase was largely reflective of the same items discussed regarding the third quarter income. NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense totaled $6,013,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, increasing by $931,000 or 18.3% from the same time frame in 1998. Salaries and employee benefits accounted for $523,000 or 56.2% of the increase and was attributable to salary and commission costs associated with the newly acquired insurance agency, as well as to regular merit increases, basic incentive compensation, and the initial staffing and related compensation costs of two new banking centers. The increase in net occupancy and other expense category was primarily associated with normal operating expense from the acquired insurance agency and start-up expenses for the two new banking centers. These additional costs were offset in part by expense decreases spread among various categories of miscellaneous expense. Noninterest expense totaled $17,547,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, increasing by $2,594,000 or 17.4% from the same time frame in 1998. The 17.4% increase was largely reflective of the same items discussed regarding the third quarter expenses. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, increased to $662,000 as compared to $658,000 for the comparable period in 1998. As a percentage of income before taxes, the provision for income taxes decreased to 31.4% from 31.8% for the same period in 1998. 12. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, increased to $1,948,000 as compared to $1,859,000 for the comparable period in 1998. As a percentage of income before taxes, the provision for income taxes decreased to 31.4% from 31.9% for the same period in 1998. NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND 90 DAY PAST DUE LOANS At September 30, 1999, nonperforming assets totaled $6,156,000 versus the $2,899,000 that existed as of December 31, 1998. The level of nonperforming loans to total end of period loans was 1.30% at September 30, 1999, as compared to 0.65% at December 31, 1998. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily related to the inclusion of three large credits placed on nonaccrual since December 31, 1998. Excluding these three credits, the ratio would be 0.65%. One of the credits totaling $857,000 is a general contractor loan where the debtor on September 22, 1999 filed for protection under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Based on its investigation to this point, management, in conjunction with legal counsel, has not yet determined the Company's potential loss and is reviewing alternatives to minimize corporate exposure as it relates to this credit. The two remaining credits are secured by real estate and management does not anticipate substantial loss. The following table summarizes nonperforming assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing for the previous five quarters. 1999 1998 ----------------------------------- ----------------------- Sep 30, Jun 30, Mar 31, Dec 31, Sep 30, ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Nonaccrual and impaired loans not accruing $ 4,397 $ 3,045 $ 2,291 $ 1,487 $ 1,783 Impaired and other loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest 1,532 913 1,515 1,111 655 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total nonperforming loans 5,929 3,958 3,806 2,598 2,438 Other real estate owned 227 279 398 201 322 Other nonperforming assets (1) - - - 100 100 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total nonperforming assets $ 6,156 $ 4,237 $ 4,204 $ 2,899 $ 2,860 ========== ========== ========== ========== ========== Nonperforming loans to total end of period loans 1.30% 0.90% 0.91% 0.65% 0.60% Nonperforming assets to total end of period loans 1.35 0.96 1.01 0.73 0.70 Nonperforming assets to total end of period assets 0.90 0.63 0.66 0.46 0.44 - ------------------------ (1) Represents a single municipal security in default status. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES In originating loans, the Company recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions; the type of loan being made; the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan; and in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for such loan. The allowance for loan losses represents the Company's estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for possible losses in the loan portfolio. In making this determination, the Company analyzes the ultimate collectibility of the loans in its portfolio, incorporating feedback provided by internal loan staff, the loan review function, and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies. The Company makes an ongoing evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The analysis of the allowance for loan losses is comprised of three components: specific credit allocation, general portfolio allocation, and subjective determined 13. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- allocation. Once these three components of the allowance are calculated, management calculates a historical component for each loan category based on the past five years of loan history and the Company's evaluation of qualitative factors including future economic and industry outlooks. The unallocated portion of the allowance is determined based on current economic conditions and trends in the portfolio including delinquencies and impairments, as well as changes in the composition of the portfolio. Transactions in the allowance for loan losses during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are summarized in the table on page 7. At September 30, 1999, the allowance for loan losses totaled $4,068,000 and was 0.89% of total loans outstanding as compared to $3,883,000 or 0.96% at September 30, 1998. During the same time frame, net charge-offs increased to $289,000 during the third quarter of 1999 as compared to $181,000 for the like period in 1998. CAPITAL The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") has a policy known as the "source of strength doctrine" that requires a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength for its subsidiary banks. The FRB has interpreted this requirement to require that a bank holding company, such as the Company, stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. The FRB has stated that it would generally view a failure to assist a troubled or failing subsidiary bank in these circumstances as an unsound or unsafe banking practice or a violation of the FRB's Regulation Y or both, justifying a cease and desist order or other enforcement action, particularly if appropriated resources are available to the bank holding company on a reasonable basis. The Company's capital ratios were as follows for the dates indicated: December 31, Minimum Well Sep 30, ---------------------------- Capital Capitalized 1999 1998 1997 Ratios Ratios ------------ ------------ ------------ ------ ------ Tier 1 risk-based capital $ 48,882 $ 47,297 $ 41,180 Tier 2 risk-based capital 4,925 5,215 4,545 Total capital 53,807 52,512 45,725 Risk-weighted assets 482,956 429,325 385,685 Capital ratios Tier 1 risk-based capital 10.12% 11.02% 10.68% 4.00% 6.00% Tier 2 risk-based capital 11.14 12.23 11.86 8.00 10.00 Leverage ratio 7.27 7.66 6.64 4.00 5.00 The Company is committed to maintaining strong capital positions in each of its subsidiaries and on a consolidated basis. Management monitors, analyzes and forecasts capital positions for each entity to ensure that adequate capital is available to support growth and maintain financial soundness. The ratio of Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for the Company was 10.12% and 11.14%, respectively, at September 30, 1999. The Company currently exceeds, and expects to continue to exceed, regulatory minimums. 14. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIQUIDITY Liquidity is measured by a financial institution's ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of assets. Additional sources of liquidity, including cash flow from both the repayment of loans and the securitization of assets, are also considered in determining whether liquidity was satisfactory. Cash flows used in operating and investing activities, offset by those provided by financing activities, resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $2,242,000 from December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999. This usage was primarily related to the net increase in loans. This was partially offset by increased deposits, proceeds from notes payable, and further utilization of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. For more detailed cash flow information, see the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows located on page 4. 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). Other than loans held for sale, all of the financial instruments of the Company are for other than trading purposes. Such financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market rates of interest. The operating income and net income of the Banks depend, to a substantial extent, on "rate differentials," i.e., the differences between the income the Banks receive from loans, securities, and other earning assets and the interest expense they pay to obtain deposits and other liabilities. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Banks, including general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. The objective of monitoring and managing the interest rate risk position of the balance sheet is to contribute to earnings and to minimize fluctuations in net interest income. The potential for earnings to be affected by changes in interest rates is inherent in a financial institution. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and changes in net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. An asset sensitive position in a given period will result in more assets being subject to repricing; therefore, as interest rates rise, such a position will have a positive effect on net interest income. Conversely, in a liability sensitive position, where liabilities reprice more quickly than assets in a given period, a rise in interest rates will have an adverse effect on net interest income. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is managed primarily through the Company's strategy of selecting the types and terms of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which generate favorable earnings, while limiting the potential negative effects of changes in market interest rates. Since the Company's primary source of interest-bearing liabilities is customer deposits, the Company's ability to manage the types and terms of such deposits may be somewhat limited by customer maturity preferences in the market areas in which the Company operates. The rates, terms, and interest rate indices of the Company's interest-earning assets result primarily from the Company's strategy of investing in loans and securities (a substantial portion of which have adjustable rate terms) which permit the Company to limit its exposure to interest rate risk, together with credit risk, while at the same time achieving a positive interest rate spread. One method of analyzing interest rate risk is to evaluate the balance of the Company's interest rate sensitivity position. A mix of assets and liabilities that are roughly equal in volume, term, and repricing represents a matched interest rate sensitivity position. Any excess of assets or liabilities in a particular period results in an interest rate sensitivity gap. The following table presents the interest rate sensitivity for the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at September 30, 1999. The table was prepared assuming loans prepay at varying degrees, based on type, maturity, and rate. All the NOW 15. UNIONBANCORP, INC.

However, this type of analysis is as of a point-in-time, when in fact, the Company's interest rate sensitivity can quickly change as market conditions, customer needs, and management strategies change. Thus, interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or at the same time. Pursuant to its investment policy, the Company does not purchase off-balance-sheet derivative financial instruments. The preceding table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income because the repricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and was subject to competitive and other pressures. As of September 30, 1999, the Company held approximately $32,387,000 (at amortized cost) in mortgage-backed securities. Although the mortgage-backed securities have various stated maturities, it is not uncommon for mortgage-backed securities to prepay outstanding principal prior to stated maturities. As a result, assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within the same period may, in fact, reprice at different times and at different rate levels. In addition to the interest rate-sensitivity analysis, the Company also measures its overall interest rate sensitivity through a net interest income analysis. The net interest income analysis measures the change 16. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in net income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis assesses the risk of changes in net interest in the event of sudden and sustained 1.0% to 2.0% increases and decreases in market interest rates. The assumption in the tables below is that assets will reprice faster than liabilities due to market constraints and management's assessment of their assets and liabilities. The table below presents the Company's projected changes in net interest income for the various rate shock levels at September 30, 1999. September 30, 1999 --------------------------------------------------------------- Net Interest Income --------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Change Change ------ ------ ------ (Dollars in Thousands) +200 bp $ 22,514 $ (938) (4.00)% +100 bp 22,925 (527) (2.25) Base 23,452 - - -100 bp 23,761 309 1.32 -200 bp 23,149 (303) (1.29) Based upon the Company's model at September 30, 1999, the effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the Company's net interest income by 4.00% or approximately $938,000. The effect of an immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates would reduce the Company's net interest income by 1.29% or approximately $303,000. The reason for this is even though the preceding table shows the Company as having a negative gap, certain core deposits may not reprice when rates decrease depending on market conditions. This causes the decline in net interest income. December 31, 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------- Net Interest Income --------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Change Change ------ ------ ------ (Dollars in Thousands) +200 bp $ 20,811 $ (652) (3.04)% +100 bp 21,155 (308) (1.43) Base 21,463 - - -100 bp 21,542 80 0.37 -200 bp 20,882 (580) (2.70) Based upon the Company's model at December 31, 1998, the effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the Company's net interest income by 3.04% or approximately $652,000. The effect of an immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates would reduce the Company's net interest income by 2.70% or approximately $580,000. The reason for this is that even though at year-end the Company shows having a negative gap, certain core deposits may not reprice when rates decrease depending on market conditions. This causes the decline in net interest income. YEAR 2000 The year 2000 has posed a unique set of challenges to those industries reliant on information technology. As a result of methods employed by early programmers, many software applications and operational programs may be unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900. If not effectively addressed, 17. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this problem could result in the production of inaccurate data, or, in the worst cases, the inability of the systems to continue to function altogether. Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable due to the industry's dependence on electronic data processing systems. In 1997, the Company started the process of identifying the hardware and software issues related to the year 2000 and the potential for those issues to adversely affect the Company's operations and those of its subsidiaries. The Company has spent considerable time and resources regarding the impact of the Year 2000 issue with respect to its computer systems and applications as well as to its general operations, customers, and suppliers. The Company has developed a strategic plan for Year 2000 compliance which is being administered by a committee comprised of individuals from all functional areas of the Company as well as being reviewed by senior management and the Board of Directors. The plan follows guidelines set forth by the FFIEC. The status of each of the five phases of the FFIEC Year 2000 plan are: 1. Awareness 100% complete 2. Assessment 100% complete 3. Renovation 100% complete 4. Validation 100% complete 5. Implementation 95% complete The 5% of implementation which remains to be completed consists of converting the remaining customers of a legacy system for ACH origination to the new system that is documented and tested by the vendor as being Year 2000 compliant. While the Company will incur some expenses during the next year, the Company has not identified any situations at this time that will require material cost expenditures to become fully compliant. It is impossible at this time to quantify the estimated future costs due to possible business disruption caused by vendors, suppliers, customers, or even the possible loss of electric power or phone service; however, such cost could be substantial. The Company is committed to achieving compliance, by focusing not only on its own data processing systems, but also in assisting its customers needs as well. Management has taken steps to educate and assist its customers with identification of Year 2000 compliance problems. In addition, management has proposed policy and procedure changes to help identify potential risks to the Company and to gain an understanding of how its customers are managing the risks associated with the Year 2000 issue. The Company has assessed the impact, if any, the Year 2000 will have on its credit risk and loan underwriting. In connection with potential credit risk related to the Year 2000 issue, the Company has contacted its commercial loan customers regarding their level of preparedness for the Year 2000. The corporate loan review officer maintains a current list of all customers that pose a potential liability to the Company due to the Year 2000 issue and regularly updates the Board of Directors. Further, the Company has analyzed its liquidity position and how it could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. A plan has been developed that addresses liquidity issues that may arise. Overall, the Company feels that there are adequate sources available and that the costs associated with such sources will not have a material impact on the profits of the Company. 18. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company has developed contingency plans for various Year 2000 problems and continues to revise those plans based on testing results and vendor notifications. SEGMENT INFORMATION The reportable segments are determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished between banking and other operations. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking segment, and mortgage banking, insurance, trust and holding company services are categorized as other segments. All inter-segment services provided are charged at the same rates as those charged to unaffiliated customers. Such services are included in the revenues and net income of the respective segments and are eliminated to arrive at consolidated totals. Prior to the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company did not offer insurance services. The accounting policies used are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Segment performance is evaluated using net interest income. Information reported internally for performance assessment follows. September 30, 1999 ---------------------------------------------- Banking Other Consolidated Segment Segments Totals ------- -------- ------ Net interest income (loss) $ 18,094 $ (502) $ 17,592 Other revenue 4,398 2,676 7,074 Other expense 12,049 3,605 15,654 Noncash items Depreciation 713 521 1,234 Provision for loan loss 924 -- 924 Goodwill and other intangibles 513 146 659 Segment profit 8,293 (2,098) 6,195 Segment assets 677,332 3,819 681,151 September 30, 1999 ---------------------------------------------- Banking Other Consolidated Segment Segments Totals ------- -------- ------ Net interest income (loss) $ 17,427 $ (594) $ 16,833 Other revenue 4,593 609 5,202 Other expense 11,608 1,428 13,036 Noncash items Depreciation 685 539 1,224 Provision for loan loss 1,200 -- 1,200 Goodwill and other intangibles 652 41 693 Segment profit 7,875 (2,041) 5,834 Segment assets 643,921 3,336 647,257 19. UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS PENDING LEGISLATION. On November 4, 1999, the United States Congress approved legislation that would allow bank holding companies to engage in a wider range of nonbanking activities, including greater authority to engage in securities and insurance activities. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "Act"), a bank holding company that elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that the FRB, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines by regulation or order is (i) financial in nature, (ii) incidental to any such financial activity, or (iii) complementary to any such financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. The Act specifies certain activities that are deemed to be 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 any activity currently permitted for bank holding companies by the FRB under section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act. A bank holding company may elect to be treated as a financial holding company only if all depository institution subsidiaries of the holding company are well-capitalized, well-managed and have at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. National banks are also authorized by the Act to engage, through "financial subsidiaries," in any activity that is permissible for a financial holding company (as described above) and any activity that the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the FRB, determines is financial in nature or incidental to any such financial activity, except (i) insurance underwriting, (ii) real estate development or real estate investment activities (unless otherwise permitted by law), (iii) insurance company portfolio investments and (iv) merchant banking. The authority of a national bank to invest in a financial subsidiary is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, requirements that the bank must be well-managed and well-capitalized (after deducting from capital the bank's outstanding investments in financial subsidiaries). The Act provides that state banks may invest in financial subsidiaries (assuming they have the requisite investment authority under applicable state law) subject to the same conditions that apply to national bank investments in financial subsidiaries. The Act must be signed by the President before it will take effect. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the impact the Act may have on the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 Exchange 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 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 identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions.
