NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West Suburban Bancorp, Inc. ("West Suburban") and West Suburban Bank (the "Bank" and collectively with West Suburban, the "Company"). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual financial statements have been omitted. The interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Unused lines of credit and other commitments to extend credit not reflected in the financial statements are as follows:

Fixed rate commercial loan commitments at March 31, 2003 generally had interest rates ranging from 3.77% to 9.29% with terms ranging from 1 to 7 years. Fixed rate mortgage loan commitments at March 31, 2003 generally had interest rates ranging from 4.75% to 6.875% with terms ranging from 7 to 30 years. Fixed rate check credit loans had an interest rate of 18.00% as of March 31, 2003.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("Statement") 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions" in October 2002. The Company's goodwill arose from its acquisition of a financially troubled thrift institution during 1990. The guidance in Statement 147 indicates that the Company's acquisition of the troubled thrift institution is a business combination resulting in goodwill that should be accounted for under Statement 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Statement 142 generally requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment and written down if impaired.

Goodwill is carried on the Company's balance sheet at $712 at both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The Company has no other intangible assets.

At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") held 74,163 and 73,837 shares of West Suburban common stock, respectively, and substantially all shares held by the ESOP were allocated to the accounts maintained for participants. Participants who elect to receive their benefit payments in the form of West Suburban common stock may require the Company to purchase the common stock distributed at fair value during two 60-day periods. The first purchase period begins on the date the benefit is paid and the second purchase period begins on the first anniversary of the payment date. This contingent repurchase obligation is reflected in the Company's financial statements as "Common stock in ESOP subject to contingent repurchase obligation" and reduces shareholders' equity by an amount that represents the independently appraised fair value of all the West Suburban common stock held by the ESOP, without regard to whether it is likely that the shares would be distributed or that the recipients of the shares would be likely to exercise their right to require the Company to purchase the shares. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, this contingent repurchase obligation reduced shareholders' equity by $41,680 and $40,241, respectively. The Company believes that the ESOP will continue to have a sufficient amount of cash to distribute benefit payments to former employees and that the exercise of the right of former employees to cause the Company to purchase West Suburban common stock is unlikely.

Asset Distribution. Total consolidated assets at March 31, 2003 increased 3.8% from December 31, 2002. Total year-to-date average assets at March 31, 2003 increased 8.0% from March 31, 2002. An increase in securities available for sale was the largest component of the increase in total assets and was partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Asset growth was funded primarily by higher levels of deposits.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2003 decreased 49.0% from December 31, 2002 primarily due to the use of cash and cash equivalents to purchase securities available for sale.

The Company's available for sale securities portfolio increased 36.5% during the first three months of 2003. The Company made significant investments in corporate and U.S. government agency securities. Investing in U.S. government agency securities and classifying the investments as available for sale increases the Company's liquidity and is an important element in the Company's liquidity management function during the current low interest environment. This has also allowed the Company to better control the level of risk while maximizing the yield over an entire interest rate cycle. During this period, the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $1.2 million due to a reduction in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of deferred tax. The Company's held to maturity portfolio decreased 7.4% during the first three months of 2003, primarily due to calls of U.S. government agency securities and the Company's decision to classify all new security purchases mad e during the first quarter of 2003 as available for sale. The Company will continue to monitor its level of available for sale and held to maturity securities and will classify new security purchases in the appropriate category at the time of purchase.

The carrying value of the Company's major categories of securities are summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands):

Total loans outstanding at March 31, 2003 decreased 0.5% from December 31, 2002 due to decreased balances in the commercial, indirect automobile and residential real estate loan portfolios. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the commercial real estate, construction real estate and home equity loan portfolios. The decrease in the indirect automobile loan portfolio was primarily due to scheduled repayments and prepayments as well as the effect of promotional programs offered by new automobile dealers such as 0% financing. The increase in the commercial real estate loan portfolio resulted primarily from the origination of one large new loan during the period. The Company also experienced continued growth in its home equity loan portfolio as a result of promotional efforts relating to this product.

Balances in the Company's categories of loans are summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands):

Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality. The Company's provision for loan losses is based on management's quarterly evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In these evaluations, management considers numerous factors including, but not limited to, historical loan loss experience, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values and prevailing economic conditions.

All categories of loans are evaluated on a category by category basis. In addition, individual commercial loans are evaluated to determine if a specific loss allocation is needed for problem loans deemed to have a shortfall in collateral. Management also considers the borrower's current economic status including liquidity and future business viability. Other factors used in the allocation of the allowance include levels and trends of past dues and charge-offs along with concentrations of credit within the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur.

The provision for loan losses decreased 64.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 2002. The Company's provision for loan losses reflected management's evaluation of the loan portfolio within the context of the factors previously discussed. The decrease was primarily the result of the decreased levels of net loan charge-offs and a slight decrease in nonperforming loans. The Company did not charge-off any commercial loans for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $.8 million of commercial loan charge-offs in the three months ended March 31, 2002.

The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.25% at March 31, 2003 and 1.21% at December 31, 2002. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2003 decreased 1.9% from December 31, 2002. The accrual status of loans past due 90 days and over is based on management's evaluation of the respective collateral values and collection efforts.

The following table presents an analysis of the Company's nonperforming loans and other real estate as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

The following table presents an analysis of the Company's provision for loan losses for the periods stated (dollars in thousands):

Deposits. Total deposits at March 31, 2003 increased 3.9% from December 31, 2002. The increase in total deposits was the result of an increase in interest-bearing deposits partially offset by a decrease in demand-noninterest-bearing deposits. Management believes the growth of money market checking and savings deposits reflects the tendency of its customers to maintain a higher level of short-term liquid investments during periods of low interest rates. Management believes the growth in deposits is directly correlated to promotional efforts and the uncertainty of financial markets.

Balances in the Company's major categories of deposits are summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands):

During the first three months of 2003, average balances in demand-noninterest-bearing deposits and interest-bearing deposits increased $3.2 million and $112.9 million, respectively, compared to the first three months of 2002.

Shareholders' equity at March 31, 2003 increased 2.8% from December 31, 2002 as a result of $7.8 million of net income, reduced by dividends declared of $3.5 million and a decrease in unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $1.2 million, net of deferred taxes. Additionally, shareholders' equity was decreased by a $1.4 million increase in common stock in ESOP subject to contingent repurchase obligation.

The Company's capital ratios as well as those of the Bank as of March 31, 2003 are presented below. All capital ratios are in excess of the regulatory capital requirements which call for a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8% for the Company and the Bank, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% for the Company and the Bank and a minimum leverage ratio (3% for the most highly rated banks and bank holding companies that do not expect significant growth; all other institutions are required to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of 4% to 5% depending on their particular circumstances and risk and growth profiles) for the Company and the Bank. Bank holding companies and their subsidiaries are generally expected to operate at or above the minimum capital requirements. The ratios shown below are in excess of regulatory minimums and should allow the Company and the Bank to operate without significant capital adequacy concerns.

The following table sets forth the regulatory capital ratios of the Company and the Bank at March 31, 2003:

Management has been advised that as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Bank was categorized as a "well-capitalized" institution. The Company's capital ratios were also well in excess of the required levels as of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. In accordance with applicable federal regulations, the appraised fair value of the Company's common stock owned by the ESOP is included in Tier 1 capital.

Effective liquidity management ensures there is sufficient cash flow to satisfy demand for credit, deposit withdrawals and to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities. A large, stable core deposit base and a strong capital position are the solid foundation for the Company's liquidity position. Liquidity is enhanced by a securities portfolio structured to provide liquidity as needed. The Company also maintains relationships with correspondent banks to purchase federal funds subject to underwriting and collateral requirements. Additionally, subject to credit underwriting, collateral, capital stock, and other requirements of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLB"), the Company is able to borrow from the FHLB on a "same day" basis. As of March 31, 2003, the Company would be able to borrow approximately $96 million from the FHLB secured by real estate loans and securities. The Company manages its liquidity position through continuous monitoring of profitab ility trends, asset quality, interest rate sensitivity and maturity schedules of earning assets and liabilities.

Generally, the Company uses cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale to meet its liquidity needs. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, these liquid assets represented 25.2% and 21.8% of total assets, respectively. During 2003, the Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased $32.7 million. In 2003, net cash provided by operating activities was $15.5 million, while net cash used in investing activities was $95.5 million. The net cash used in investing activities was primarily used to purchase securities available for sale. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $47.3 million in 2003, resulting from deposit growth. Management expects operations to be a continuing source of cash flow in the future.

Net Income. The Company's net income for the first three months of 2003 increased 53.1% compared to the first three months of 2002 primarily due to an increase in total noninterest income of $3.5 million. Net income was also affected positively by an increase in net interest income of $.3 million and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $.7 million. These increases to income and decreases to expense were partially offset by an increase in total noninterest expense of $.3 million and an increase to income tax expense of $1.5 million.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the primary source of income for the Company. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volume and yield on interest-earning assets and the volume and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets consist of federal funds sold, securities and loans. Interest-bearing liabilities primarily consist of deposits. The net interest margin is the percentage of tax equivalent net interest income to average earning assets. The Company's net interest margin for the first three months of 2003 decreased to 4.00% compared to 4.25% for the first three months of 2002.

Total interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, for the first three months of 2003 decreased 3.9% compared to the first three months of 2002 primarily due to declining yields from assets in the Company's loan portfolio. Average loans in 2003 increased 2.1% while the yield on the portfolio decreased 65 basis points. This was primarily due to the declining yields from assets in the Company's home equity portfolio, which declined 91 basis points during this period. Yields on home equity lines of credit vary with the prime rate on semi-annual repricing dates. The average prime rate during the first three months of 2003 was 4.25% compared to 4.75% during the first three months of 2002.

Total interest expense for the first three months of 2003 decreased 16.0% compared to the first three months of 2002. Interest on deposits, which accounted for substantially all of this decrease, decreased primarily due to lower market interest rates. The Company lowered interest rates on all categories of deposits in response to the continued decline in market rates. The yield on average interest-bearing deposits for the first three months of 2003 decreased 54 basis points to 1.83% compared to 2.37% for the first three months of 2002.

The following table reflects the impact of changes in volume and interest rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a tax equivalent basis for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002 (dollars in thousands):

The following table presents an analysis of the Company's quarterly average interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing demand deposits, for the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company's provision for loan losses decreased 64.4% in the first three months of 2003 compared to the first three months of 2002. A more detailed discussion concerning the allowance for loan losses is presented in the "Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality" section of this report.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased 114.2% in the first three months of 2003 compared to the first three months of 2002. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $1.2 million, resulting primarily from the new overdraft program the Company implemented in the fourth quarter of 2002. Management anticipates that the growth in the income generated from this program will slow as customers become more familiar with the program, but believe the program will continue to enhance fee income. Debit card fees increased $.1 million due to increased usage. The Company also experienced an increase in net realized gains on securities transactions of $1.2 million, continuing a trend over the several quarters. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.1 million of additional income in connection with a litigation settlement. Other income decreased $.2 million primarily due to reduced recoveries of expenses incurred in connection with a problem asset.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased 3.5% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2002. The number of full services branches maintained by the Bank was 33 and 32 during the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits increased $.2 million primarily as a result of normal salary increases together with increased insurance and profit sharing expenses.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased 67.9% for the first quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2002 primarily due to higher pre-tax income levels without a corresponding increase in tax-exempt income. The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 2003 and 2002 were 32.2% and 30.2% respectively.

The Company attempts to maintain a conservative posture with regard to interest rate risk by actively managing its asset/liability GAP position and monitoring the direction and magnitude of gaps and risk. The Company attempts to moderate the effects of changes in interest rates by adjusting its asset and liability mix to achieve desired relationships between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. Rate sensitive assets and liabilities are those instruments that reprice within a given time period. An asset or liability reprices when its interest rate is subject to change or upon maturity.

Movements in general market interest rates are a key element in changes in the net interest margin. The Company's policy is to manage its balance sheet so that fluctuations in the net interest margin are minimized regardless of the level of interest rates, although the net interest margin does vary somewhat due to management's response to increasing competition from other financial institutions.

The Company measures rate sensitivity through a net interest income analysis. The net interest income analysis measures the change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis assesses the risk of changes in net interest income in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates. This analysis is subject to certain assumptions made by the Company including the following:

• Balance sheet volume reflects the current balances and does not project future growth or changes. This establishes the base case from which all percentage changes are calculated.

• The replacement rate for loan and deposit items that mature is the current rate offered by the Company as adjusted for the assumed rate increase or decrease. The replacement rate for securities is the current market rate as adjusted for the assumed rate increase or decrease.

• The repricing rate for balance sheet data is determined by utilizing individual account statistics provided by the Company's data processing systems.

• The maturity and repricing dates for balance sheet data are determined by utilizing individual account statistics provided by the Company's data processing systems.

An analysis of a projected 200 basis point drop in market rates is not relevant due to the current low interest rate environment.

Based upon an evaluation within 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weakness.
