        The Corporation’s other intangible assets consist of originated mortgage servicing rights which are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income similar to the interest method using an accelerated amortization method and are subject to periodic impairment testing. As of March 31, 2005 no impairment had been recorded. Changes in the carrying value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights are summarized as follows:

        The following table shows the future estimated amortization expense for mortgage servicing rights based on existing balances as of March 31, 2005.

PRINCETON NATIONAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004



        The following discussion provides information about Princeton National Bancorp, Inc.‘s (“PNBC” or the “Corporation”) financial condition and results of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Certain statements in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, but not limited to those statements that include the words “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, or similar expressions. PNBC cautions that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Such risks and uncertainties include potential change in interest rates, competitive factors in the financial services industry, general economic conditions, the effect of new legislation, and other risks detailed in documents filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Net income for the first quarter of 2005 was $1,708,000, or basic earnings per share of $0.56 (diluted earnings per share of $0.55), as compared to net income of $1,641,000 in the first quarter of 2004, or basic earnings per share of $0.53 (diluted earnings per share of $0.52). This represents an increase of $67,000 (4.1%) or $.03 per basic and diluted share. The increase in net income is due to an improving net interest margin, coupled with an increase in average interest-earning assets. This increase more than offset a decrease in the amount of non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expenses. The annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.06% and 13.24%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2005, compared with 1.09% and 12.95% for the first quarter of 2004.

        Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $5,375,000 for the first quarter of 2005, compared to $5,009,000 for the first quarter of 2004 (an increase of $366,000 or 7.3%). This increase is a result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $41.7 million over the past twelve months. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, average interest-earning assets were $595.6 million compared to $553.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The resulting net yield on interest-earning assets (on a fully taxable equivalent basis) increased from 3.90% in the first quarter of 2004 to 3.94% in the first quarter of 2005.

11


        PNBC did not record a loan loss provision in the first quarter of 2005, due to a low amount of non-performing loans and the low amount of net charge-offs in the quarter, compared to a provision of $100,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The provision expense recorded each quarter is determined by management’s evaluation of the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. For the first quarter of 2005, PNBC had net charge-offs of $11,000, compared to net charge-offs of $71,000 for the first quarter of 2004.

        Non-interest income totaled $1,875,000 for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $2,039,000 in the first quarter of 2004, a decrease of $164,000 (or 8.0%). This is a result of a decrease in the amount of gains recorded from the sales of securities available-for-sale of $162,000 from $182,000 for the first three months of 2004 to $20,000 for the first three months of 2005. Partially offsetting the decrease in security gains was an increase in trust and farm management fees of $51,000, an increase of 14.7%. Annualized non-interest income as a percentage of total average assets decreased to 1.15% for the first three months of 2005, compared to 1.34% for the same period in 2004.

        Total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 was $4,997,000, an increase of $213,000 (or 4.5%) from $4,784,000 in the first quarter of 2004. This increase is attributable to salaries/employee benefits, which increased $262,000 (or 9.7%). Collectively, all other categories of non-interest expense decreased $49,000 (or 2.3%). Annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of total average assets also decreased to 3.06% for the first three months of 2005, compared to 3.15% for the same period in 2004.


INCOME TAXES

        Income tax expense totaled $545,000 for the first quarter of 2005, as compared to $523,000 for the first quarter of 2004. The effective tax rate was 24.2% for both the three month period ended March 31, 2005 and the three month period ended March 31, 2004.


ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

        Total assets at March 31, 2005 increased to $661,327,000 from $655,738,000 at December 31, 2004 (an increase of $5.6 million or 0.9%). Total deposits at March 31, 2005 increased to $579,157,000 from $573,561,000 at December 31, 2004 (an increase of $5.6 million or 1.0%). Comparing categories of deposits at March 31, 2005 to the December 31, 2004 totals, time deposits increased by $8.3 million (or 3.3%) and savings deposits increased $2.9 million (or 5.0%). Conversely, interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $3.3 million (or 1.7%) and demand deposits decreased $2.3 million (or 3.0%). Borrowings, consisting of customer repurchase agreements, notes payable, treasury, tax, and loan (“TT&L”) deposits, federal funds purchased, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, increased from $25,535,000 at December 31, 2004 to $26,715,000 at March 31, 2005 (an increase of $1.2 million or 4.6%). Investment balances totaled $183,590,000 at March 31, 2005, compared to $188,809,000 at December 31, 2004 (a decrease of $5.2 million or 2.8%).

        Loan balances, net of unearned interest, increased to $423,189,000 at March 31, 2005, compared to $410,044,000 at December 31, 2004 (an increase of $13.1 million or 3.2%). This increase was in the commercial and residential real estate areas. Non-performing loans increased to $2,005,000 or 0.47% of net loans at March 31, 2005, as compared to $328,000 or 0.08% of net loans at December 31, 2004. Although non-performing loans increased from the low level at December 31, 2004, this increase was attributable to one commercial credit, which continues to pay down and for which management expects no future losses.


ASSET QUALITY

        For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the subsidiary bank charged off $59,000 of loans and had recoveries of $48,000, compared to charge-offs of $152,000 and recoveries of $81,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The allowance for loan losses is based on factors that include the overall composition of the loan portfolio, types of loans, underlying collateral, past loss experience, loan delinquencies, substandard and doubtful credits, and such other factors that, in management’s reasonable judgment, warrant consideration. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored monthly. At March 31, 2005, the allowance was $2,513,000 which is 125.3% of non-performing loans and 0.59% of total loans, compared with $2,524,000 which was 769.5% of non-performing loans and 0.62% of total loans at December 31, 2004.

        At March 31, 2005, impaired loans totaled $1,887,000 compared to $175,000 at December 31, 2004, this increase is also attributable to the aforementioned commercial credit in non-performing loans. The total amount of loans ninety days or more past due and still accruing interest at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $0. The balances of non-performing and impaired loans continue to be well below industry averages. There was no specific loan loss reserve established for impaired loans as of March 31, 2005 compared to a specific loan loss reserve of $3,000 at December 31, 2004. PNBC’s management analyzes the allowance for loan losses monthly and believes the current level of allowance is adequate to meet probable losses as of March 31, 2005.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Federal regulations require all financial institutions to evaluate capital adequacy by the risk-based capital method, which makes capital requirements more sensitive to the differences in the level of risk assets. At March 31, 2005 total risk-based capital of PNBC was 11.18%, compared to 11.49% at December 31, 2004. The Tier 1 capital ratio decreased from 7.62% at December 31, 2004, to 7.51% at March 31, 2005. Total stockholders’ equity to total assets at March 31, 2005 decreased to 7.81% from 7.99% at December 31, 2004.


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 include cash flow from the repayment of loans and the maturity of investment securities. Major uses of cash include the origination of loans and purchase of investment securities. Cash flows provided by operating and financing activities, offset by

13


those used in investing activities, resulted in a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $3,010,000 from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a net increase in loans, offset by a net increase in deposits and a net increase in the investment portfolio. For more detailed information, see PNBC’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.


FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

        The subsidiary bank 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. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the subsidiary bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

        The subsidiary bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The subsidiary bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At March 31, 2005 commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit were approximately $103,722,000 and $3,635,000, respectively.

        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. The subsidiary bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, by the subsidiary bank upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter party. Collateral held varies, but may include real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing properties.

        Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the subsidiary bank 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 facilities to customers. The subsidiary bank secures the standby letters of credit with the same collateral used to secure the loan.


EXPANSION PLANS

        The Company is finalizing the construction plans for the facility in Aurora, Illinois. Construction of the facility will begin in the second quarter of 2005, with the facility opening in winter of 2005/2006. Once the Aurora facility is completed, a new bank facility will be built on the Elburn, Illinois property which was purchased in July of 2003.

ACQUISITION

        On February 22, 2005, the Company announced the acquisition of Somonauk FSB Bancorp, Inc. (“Somonauk”). Somonauk has full-service locations in Somonauk, Sandwich, Newark and Millbrook, Illinois with an additional location being constructed in Plano, Illinois. These locations will compliment the existing PNB locations and expand the Company’s presence in high-growth markets. Total assets of Somonauk FSB Bancorp, Inc. were $210.2 million at December 31, 2004. Once the acquisition is completed, it is anticipated the Company’s assets will total approximately $890 million. The registration statement on Form S-4 for the acquisition has been filed with the SEC, the appropriate regulatory approvals have been applied for and it is anticipated the closing will take place on or about July 31, 2005.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        There are various claims pending against PNBC’s subsidiary bank, arising in the normal course of business. Management believes, based upon consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities arising from these proceedings, if any, will not be material to PNBC’s financial condition.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        There has been no material change in market risk since December 31, 2004, as reported in PNBC’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

        In September 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-1-1 which delayed the effective date for the measurement recognition guidance contained in the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” which was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. Until new guidance is issued, companies must continue to comply with the disclosure requirements of EITF 03-1 and all relevant measurement and recognition requirements of other accounting literature. EITF 03-1 requires certain quantitative disclosures for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, that are impaired at the balance sheet date, but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The Corporation will complete its evaluation of the impact upon issuance of final guidance from the FASB.

        In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) (123R), “Share-Based Payment”, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95. SFAS No. 123R will require compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements, effective for the Corporation’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2006 based on recent

15


SEC guidance. The Corporation has not yet completed its evaluation of the standard, but anticipates that it will result in a reduction in earnings and earnings per share, beginning with the first quarter of 2006.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

        The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial condition and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation.
