PRIVATEBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial information of PRIVATEBANCORP, INC. (the
"Company") and its subsidiaries, The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the "Bank"
or "PrivateBank (Chicago)") and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), included herein is
unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation for the interim periods. The financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

The annualized results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for
the full year ending December 31, 2002. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are unaudited and do not include information or footnotes necessary
for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, or
cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
September 30, 2002 consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year
ended December 31, 2001 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
(File No. 000-25887).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 income and expense during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' consolidated
financial statements to place them on a basis comparable with the current
period's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."

SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations completed after June
30, 2001. All future business combinations must be recorded using the purchase
method of accounting. As the Company contemplates further acquisitions as part
of its growth strategy, this Statement will likely have an impact on the
Company's future financial statements.

SFAS No. 142 supercedes APB Opinion No. 17 "Intangible Assets" and
addresses the accounting of intangible assets and goodwill. Adoption of this
Statement was required beginning January 1, 2002 in relation to all of the
Company's goodwill and intangible assets. The Statement discontinues the regular
amortization of goodwill and a transitional impairment test of goodwill is
required as of January 1, 2002. An annual impairment test of goodwill is
required every year thereafter. Impairment losses from goodwill recognized in
the initial application of this Statement are to be reported as resulting from a
change in accounting principle. Impairment losses in subsequent years will be
recorded as operating expenses. Goodwill at September 30, 2002 totaled $10.8
million. The Company's impairment evaluation has been completed as of January 1,
2002, and no goodwill impairment has been recorded as of September 30, 2002. Any
future acquisitions completed by the Company will also be subject to this
Statement.

The following table shows the effect of adopting SFAS No. 142 (in
thousands, except per share data):

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No.
121 and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30. The
Statement addresses the accounting for a segment of a business accounted for as
a discontinued operation and the accounting for the disposition of long-lived
assets. The provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted
the Statement in the first quarter of 2002 with no material effect on the
Company's results of operations.

NOTE 4 - OPERATING SEGMENTS

For purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance,
management regards The PrivateBank (Chicago), The PrivateBank (St. Louis),
Wealth Management and the Holding Company as four operating segments. The
Company's investment portfolios are included in total assets and reported in the
results of The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis),
respectively. The business segments summarized below and in the following tables
are primarily managed with a focus on various performance objectives including

HOLDING COMPANY ACTIVITIES

Holding Company Activities consist of parent company only matters. The
Holding Company's most significant assets are its net investments in its two
banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis).
During the first quarter 2001, in connection with the issuance of $20.0 million
of 9.50% trust preferred securities, the Holding Company issued $20.0 million of
9.50% subordinated debentures which are accounted for as long-term debt and also
qualify as Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital (see note 9). The Tier 1 qualifying amount
is limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve regulations. The
excess amount qualifies as Tier 2 capital. Holding Company Activities are
reflected primarily by interest expense on borrowings and operating expenses.
Recurring holding company operating expenses consist of compensation
(amortization of restricted stock awards, other salary expense) and
miscellaneous professional fees. In May of 2002, PrivateBancorp, Inc. acquired
an office building located in St. Charles, Illinois, for $1.8 million from Towne
Square Realty. The St. Charles location of The PrivateBank (Chicago) continues
to lease space in the building and pays rent to the Holding Company at the same
terms and conditions as was paid to the prior owner.

The adjustments to total assets presented in the table above represent
the elimination of the net investment in banking subsidiaries in consolidation,
the elimination of the Company's cash that is maintained in a subsidiary bank
account, the reclassification of the unearned discount of loans and the
reclassification related to current and deferred taxes.

NOTE 5 -- ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments
as of September 30, 2002 have not materially changed on a relative basis from
the carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments disclosed
as of December 31, 2001, except for the fair value of the interest rate swap
executed by the Company, which is recorded at a fair value of $3.0 million as of
September 30, 2002, an increase of $1.3 million since December 31, 2001. In 2001
we entered into an interest rate swap transaction in which we agreed to receive
a fixed rate in exchange for payment of a floating rate based on an agreed-upon
notional amount. The fair value of the swap was $1.7 million on December 31,
2001. The interest rate swap has been designated as a fair value hedge of a
fixed-rate $25.0 million advance with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago
(FHLB).

The Company entered into a $25 million swap during the third quarter
of 2002, swapping the 10-year rate for 3-month LIBOR to act as an economic hedge
of a portion of the Company's available-for-sale municipal securities portfolio.
The September 30, 2002 fair market value adjustment on this swap resulted in the
trading loss of $662,000 with a corresponding derivative liability of the same
amount. This swap does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, therefore,
the mark-to-market adjustment flows through earnings.

income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, on a gross basis
(in thousands):

NOTE 7 -- CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company contributed capital of
$1.0 million to The PrivateBank (St. Louis) to support growth at this
subsidiary.

NOTE 8 -- FUNDS BORROWED

A summary of all funds borrowed and outstanding at September 30, 2002,
December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 is presented in the table below:

15

On February 11, 2002, the Company renewed the term on an $18.0 million
revolving credit facility with a commercial bank originally entered into on
February 11, 2000. On April 11, 2002, the loan agreement was amended and the
revolving line was increased to $25.0 million. The interest rate on borrowings
under this revolving line resets quarterly, and is based on, at our option,
either the lender's prime rate or three-month LIBOR plus 120 basis points with a
floor of 3.50%. The Company has elected to pay interest based on the three-month
LIBOR rate plus 120 basis points. The initial rate of interest on the revolver
was 7.20%, and most recently reset to 3.50% on September 30, 2002. The
collateral for this borrowing consists of the common stock of The PrivateBank
(Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), which is held in custody by the
lender. As of September 30, 2002, the outstanding balance was $17.25 million.

On February 11, 2000, the Company entered into a subordinated note
issued to Johnson International, Inc. and subsequently sold to a third party, in
the principal amount of $5.0 million. The interest on the subordinated note is
reset each quarter based on the three-month LIBOR rate. The note is payable in
full on or before February 11, 2007, and provides for certain rate escalation
beginning after February 11, 2002. On February 11, 2002, the interest rate
increased from LIBOR +50 basis points to LIBOR +200 basis points. This pricing
is in effect until February 11, 2004, at which point the pricing increases to
LIBOR +350 until maturity on February 11, 2007. The average rate of interest on
the subordinated note was 3.84% during the third quarter of 2002 compared to
4.37% during the third quarter of 2001 and most recently reset to 3.75% on
August 11, 2002. The Company has the right to repay the subordinated note at any
time after giving at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days advance notice.

NOTE 9 -- LONG TERM DEBT -- TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

Effective February 8, 2001, PrivateBancorp Capital Trust I, a newly
created Delaware business trust and wholly-owned finance subsidiary of the
Company, issued 2,000,000 shares (including the underwriters' over-allotment) of
9.50% trust preferred securities, which represent preferred undivided interests
in the assets of the trust. The sole assets of the trust are 9.50% junior
subordinated debentures issued by the Company with a maturity date of December
31, 2030.

Subject to certain limitations, the Company has the right to defer
payment of interest on the debentures at any time, or from time to time, for a
period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The trust preferred securities are
subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the
debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. At the option of the
Company, the debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to maturity on
or after December 31, 2005, if certain conditions are met, and only after the
Company has obtained Federal Reserve approval, if then required under applicable
guidelines or regulations.

The Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions on and payments
upon liquidation or redemption of the trust preferred securities, in each case
to the extent of funds held by the trust. The Company and the trust believe
that, taken together, the obligations of the Company under the guarantee, the
debentures and other related agreements provide, in the aggregate, a full,
irrevocable and unconditional guarantee, on a subordinated basis, of all of the
obligations of the trust under the trust preferred securities.

16

The trust preferred securities are recorded as long-term debt of the
Company. The aggregate principal amount of the trust preferred securities
outstanding is $20 million. As of September 30, 2002, the entire amount of the
preferred securities is eligible for treatment as Tier I capital as allowed by
the Federal Reserve. At September 30, 2002, the unamortized balance of the
underwriting commissions paid and offering expenses was $1.1 million and is
classified as part of other assets on the balance sheet. This amount is being
amortized on a straight-line basis until maturity at $9,764 per quarter. The
amortization is recognized as interest expense on the income statement. In the
event the Company exercises its right to redeem the securities prior to
maturity, any unamortized commissions would be expensed upon redemption.

NOTE 10 -- ACQUISITION

On September 5, 2002, the Company announced that it signed a definitive
agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Lodestar Investment Counsel,
which is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter 2002. Lodestar is a
Chicago-based investment advisor with $464.0 million of assets under management
at August 31, 2002. Lodestar manages equity, balanced, and fixed
income accounts primarily for high net-worth individuals, retirement plans, and
charitable organizations with investable assets in excess of $1.0 million, and
shares a similar focus on highly personalized client service. Lodestar will
operate as a subsidiary of PrivateBancorp, Inc. and will continue to be managed
independently.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

PrivateBancorp, Inc. ("the Company") was organized as a Delaware
corporation in 1989 to serve as the holding company for a Chicago-based de novo
bank designed to provide highly personalized financial services primarily to
affluent individuals, professionals, entrepreneurs and their business interests.
Through the Company's banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank and Trust Company
(The PrivateBank (Chicago)) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), the Company
provides its clients with traditional personal and commercial banking services,
lending programs, and wealth management services. Using the European tradition
of "private banking" as the model, the Company strives to develop a unique
relationship with clients, utilizing a team of managing directors to serve the
clients' individual and corporate banking needs, and tailoring products and
services to meet such needs. Currently, the Company has seven Chicago-area
offices: downtown Chicago, Wilmette, Oak Brook, St. Charles, Lake Forest,
Winnetka, and Geneva, Illinois. During 2000, the Company expanded to the St.
Louis market where it opened a new federal savings bank, The PrivateBank (St.
Louis). Currently, the Company operates one location in the St. Louis market.
Managing directors are strategically located at all of these locations.

For financial information regarding the Company's four separate lines
of business, The PrivateBank (Chicago), The PrivateBank (St. Louis), Wealth
Management and Holding Company Activities, see "Note 4 -- Operating Segments" to
the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this
report.

The profitability of our operations depends on our net interest income,
provision for loan losses, non-interest income, and non-interest expense. Net
interest income is dependent on the amounts and yields of interest-earning
assets as compared to the amounts and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Net
interest income is sensitive to changes in market rates of interest as well as
to the execution of our asset/liability management strategy. The provision for
loan losses reflects the cost of credit risk in the loan portfolio and is
affected by changes in the loan portfolio, management's assessment of the
collectability of the loan portfolio, loss experience, as well as economic and
market factors.

Non-interest income consists primarily of net security gains (losses),
trading losses on interest rate swap, wealth management fee income, and to a
lesser extent, fees for ancillary banking services. Non-interest income from
fees and deposit service charges are below peer group levels. This is largely
the result of the profile of our typical client. Our clients tend to have larger
deposit account balances than customers of traditional banks. Because average
balances tend to be high, we do not earn the same level of service charge income
typical of many retail banks.

Non-interest expense includes salaries and employee benefits as well as
occupancy, data processing, marketing, professional fees, insurance and other
expenses. Non-interest expenses are influenced by the growth of operations. Our
growth directly affects the majority of our expense categories. Profitability
and expense ratios were negatively impacted during the second quarter of 2001
due to the start-up nature of operations in St. Louis. The PrivateBank (St.
Louis) began to operate profitably during the fourth quarter of 2001 and has had
a positive impact on our profitability in 2002. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, The PrivateBank (St. Louis) had earnings of $527,000 versus
a loss of $509,000 in the prior year period. During the remainder of 2002, we
expect profitability and expense ratios to continue to improve relative to 2001.

18

On September 5, 2002, the Company announced that it signed a definitive
agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Lodestar Investment Counsel,
which is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter 2002. Lodestar is a
Chicago-based investment advisor with $464.0 million of assets under management
at August 31, 2002. Lodestar manages equity, balanced, and fixed income accounts
primarily for high net-worth individuals, retirement plans, and charitable
organizations with investable assets in excess of $1.0 million, and shares the
Company's focus on highly personalized client service. Lodestar will operate as
a subsidiary of PrivateBancorp, Inc. and will continue to be managed
independently.

The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited
consolidated financial statements included herein. Reference should also be made
to our accounting policies set out in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements. Certain critical policies involve estimates and assumptions by
management. By their nature, changes in these assumptions and estimates could
significantly affect our financial position or results of operations. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgments regarding the
determination of the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, as described in
both Management's Discussion and Analysis and in the financial statement notes
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, is of
particular significance to us. In addition, effective January 1, 2002, we
adopted SFAS No. 142, which requires an annual impairment test of goodwill.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001

NET INCOME

Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $3.0
million, an increase of 91% over third quarter 2001 net income of $1.6 million.
Earnings per share increased 81% to $0.58 per diluted share for the third
quarter 2002 compared to third quarter 2001 earnings per diluted share of $0.32.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 82% to $7.8
million compared to $4.3 million for the same period last year. Earnings per
share grew from $0.88 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 to $1.51 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
The table in Note 3 to the unaudited financial statements included in this
report presents the impact on diluted earnings per share for September 30, 2002
excluding goodwill amortization net of tax. The increase in net income during
the third quarter 2002 reflects the positive impact on net interest income and
net interest margin that resulted from growth in average earning assets,
continued high credit quality and improved operating efficiencies as compared to
the prior year quarter.

For the remainder of 2002, we expect to experience continued growth in
our balance sheet and in earnings. Based on our strong earnings performance and
absent unanticipated circumstances, we expect our earnings will meet or exceed
the recently revised high end of current analysts' estimates for 2002 of $2.10
per share. For 2003, we are targeting a minimum 15% return on average equity and
a minimum 15% growth in earnings per share. Additionally, we have a goal of
growing fee-based income to 30% of total revenues by the end of 2005.

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had outstanding stock options to
purchase a total of 560,515 common shares, all of which are considered "in the
money" based on the average stock price for the period and therefore are taken
into account for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. The
dilution calculation is based on the number of

19

new shares the Company would have had to issue to satisfy option exercises
assuming all "in the money" options were exercised and that the exercise
proceeds payable to the Company were used to purchase shares in the market at
the average stock price for the earnings period. The remaining number of shares
issuable upon the option exercises are assumed to have been issued and to be
outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share. The following
table illustrates what the impact on diluted earnings per share for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 would have been assuming parallel changes in the
period-end market value and average market value of the Company's stock over the
price range shown. The table illustrates that diluted earnings per share would
have been somewhat negatively impacted if the Company's closing stock price had
been higher, since under the treasury stock method, it is assumed the Company
would have had to issue more shares for purposes of computing diluted earnings
per share. Conversely, at lower stock prices, the resulting diluted earnings per
share would be somewhat higher since the Company would have had to issue fewer
shares for purposes of the calculation. The impact of stock price changes on the
dilutive effect of options would be more significant if all of the options were
not in the money within the illustrated stock price range.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees
earned on earning assets and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings.
Net interest margin represents net interest income on a tax equivalent basis as
a percentage of average earning assets during the period. Net interest margin
reflects the spread between average yields earned on interest earning assets and
the average rates paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowings. The volume
of non-interest bearing funds, largely comprised of demand deposits and capital,
also affects the net interest margin.

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $11.2 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2002, an increase of 48% over third quarter
2001 net interest income of $7.6 million, due to growth in average earning
assets between periods as well as improvements in net interest margin. Average
earning assets during the period were $1.3

20

billion, compared to $940.4 million in the prior year quarter, an increase of
36%. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 was 3.46%, up from 3.17% in the prior year third quarter and
down from 3.53% in the second quarter of 2002. The margin compression during the
third quarter of 2002 reflects a 13 basis point decrease in yields on average
earning assets offset by a 6 basis point decrease in the costs of average
interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in asset yields is primarily due to
lower mortgage rates which impacted new loan yields, loan refinancings and
yields on our mortgage-backed securities. During the fourth quarter of 2002, we
expect to experience continued compression in net interest margin, as compared
to third quarter 2002, as market rates of interest have recently begun to
decrease from interest rate levels at September 30, 2002.

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $31.0 million during
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $21.2 million for the same
period in 2001, an increase of 46%. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent
basis) was 3.40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, up from 3.09% in
the prior year period and 3.36% in the second quarter of 2002. The improvement
in net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2002 was primarily
attributable to decreases in our cost of funds resulting from maturing funding
sources that have been replaced at lower rates.

21

The following tables present a summary of our net interest income and
related net interest margin, calculated on a tax equivalent basis (dollars in
thousands):

22

The following table shows the dollar amount of changes in interest
income (tax-equivalent) and interest expense by major categories of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities attributable to changes
in volume or rate, or a mix of both, for the periods indicated. Volume variances
are computed using the change in volume multiplied by the previous period's
rate. Rate variances are computed using the changes in rate multiplied by the
previous period's volume.

COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we deem adequate to
absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan
losses reflects management's latest assessment of the losses that are probable
and reasonably estimable in the loan portfolio. Our allowance for probable loan
losses is reassessed monthly to determine the appropriate level of the reserve.
Our analysis is influenced by the following factors: the volume and quality of
loans and commitments in the portfolio, loss experience, and economic
conditions. A discussion of the allowance for loan losses and the factors
management considers in assessing the adequacy of the allowance begins on page
29.

23

The provision for loan losses was $828,000 in the third quarter of
2002, versus $1.6 million in the second quarter 2002 and $845,000 in the third
quarter of 2001. The allowance as a percentage of loans was 1.17% as of
September 30, 2002 compared to 1.14% at June 30, 2002 and 1.06% as of September
30, 2001. The increased level of the allowance reflects management's ongoing
assessment of the losses that are probable and reasonably estimable in the loan
portfolio and the effect the current weakened state of the overall economy on
some of our clients.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income increased to $1.4 million in the third quarter of
2002, reflecting an increase of approximately $114,000 or 9% compared to the
third quarter of 2001. The increase in non-interest income is attributable
primarily to an $861,000 increase in banking, trust services and other income
offset by $662,000 in trading losses and an $85,000 decrease in net gains on the
sale of investment securities. The Company recognized $280,000 of net securities
gains during the third quarter 2002, compared to net securities gains of
$365,000 during the third quarter of 2001.

As market interest rates continued to decline to historic lows late in
the third quarter, the value of the Company's long-term tax-exempt
bank-qualified municipal bond portfolio increased from an unrealized gain of
$3.3 million as of June 30, 2002 to $10.4 million as of September 30, 2002. In
order to protect a portion of the portfolio appreciation should rates rise, the
Company entered into a $25 million swap during the third quarter of 2002. The
Company swapped the 10-year rate for 3-month LIBOR to act as an economic hedge
to a portion of the available-for-sale municipal securities in the portfolio.
The September 30, 2002 fair market value adjustment on this swap resulted in the
trading loss of $662,000. Net securities gains of $280,000 during the third
quarter of 2002 included a charge of $520,000 related to a 20% permanent
impairment write-down on the Company's interest-only collateralized mortgage
obligation (CMO) portfolio. At September 30, 2002, the remaining book value of
the interest-only CMO portfolio was $2.6 million.

The following table presents the breakdown of banking, trust services
and other income for the periods presented:

24

Trust assets under administration increased to $693.9 million at
September 30, 2002 compared to $684.8 million at September 30, 2001, and down
from $733.9 million at June 30, 2002. The 5% decrease in trust assets under
administration since June 30, 2002 is attributable primarily to continued
weakness in the domestic equity markets, offset by new wealth management
business generated during the quarter. Trust fee revenue increased by 9%, or
$56,000, from the prior year quarter to $686,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 2002, but decreased by 12% from $777,000 at June 30, 2002.

For the remainder of 2002, we expect to experience continued pressure
in trust services income due to weakness in the equity markets. Completion of
the acquisition of Lodestar Investment Control, expected to occur in the fourth
quarter of 2002, will provide additional sources of revenue in our wealth
management segment.

Fees from sales of residential loans in the secondary market increased
to $522,000 during the third quarter of 2002 from $47,000 in the prior year
quarter. The increase in fees from sales of residential loans results from new
business and refinancings generated in both our St. Louis and Chicago offices.
During 2002, we have been experiencing increased demand for residential loans as
a result of the historically low level of market interest rates.

For the remainder of 2002, we expect to continue to experience demand
for residential loans as clients refinance current mortgages to take advantage
of current interest rates. We plan to sell these loans in the secondary market,
which will result in continued loan fees upon such sale.

Banking and other income increased by $169,000 to $393,000 for the
third quarter 2002 as compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting growth in
deposit accounts and the implementation of a new fee structure applied on
deposit relationships during 2002. We expect to experience continued growth in
banking and other services fee-based income for the remainder of 2002 as
compared to the same period of 2001.

During the third quarter of 2002, we recognized income of $162,000
related to the increased cash surrender value of a bank owned life insurance
(BOLI) policy that was entered into in the fourth quarter of 2001. On a tax
equivalent basis, the income was $245,455. This policy covers certain high-level
employees who are deemed to be significant contributors to the company. All
employees included in this policy are aware of and have consented to the
coverage. The cash surrender value of BOLI at September 30, 2002 was $10.6
million and is included in other assets on the balance sheet.

25

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense increased to $7.1 million in the third quarter of
2002 from $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2001. The 33% increase in
non-interest expense between periods reflects the continued growth of the
organization during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2002, is
primarily attributable to increases in salaries and employee benefits resulting
from the growth in the number of employees and compares favorably to the larger
increases in net interest income and non-interest income for the same period.
The elimination of goodwill amortization in 2002 resulted in a favorable impact
of $618,000 to non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2002. The efficiency ratio improved significantly to 56.3% in the third quarter
of 2002 from 60.6% in the prior year quarter, as growth in revenue contribution
at all locations has outpaced increases in recurring operational costs. On a
tax-equivalent basis, this ratio indicates that in the third quarter of 2002, we
spent 56.3 cents to generate each dollar of revenue, compared to 60.6 cents in
the third quarter of 2001. During the remainder of 2002, we expect to maintain a
range of 55% to 60% for our level of operating efficiency which would compare
favorably to our operating efficiency ratio reported for the comparable periods
of 2001, as revenue generated at the new offices outpaces the increases in
related operating expenses.

Salaries and benefits increased to $3.4 million, or 47% during the
third quarter 2002 as compared to the year ago quarter, reflecting the increased
level of full-time equivalent employees to 176 people at September 30, 2002 as
compared to 145 people at September 30, 2001. Salaries and benefits increased
53% during the first nine months of 2002 to $10.1 million as compared to $6.6
million for the first nine months of 2001. The increase in

26

salaries and employee benefits is a result of the increased scope of operations
and overall growth in the organization as well as the accrual of an increased
performance bonus for management during 2002. Additionally, mortgage banking
commissions for personnel involved in the sale of residential real estate loans,
which amounts have increased during 2002 due to the higher level of mortgage
refinancing activity, are also included in salaries and benefits.

Occupancy expense increased to $1.2 million during the third quarter
2002, reflecting an increase of 25% over the prior year quarter. Occupancy
expense increased to $3.6 million for the first nine months of 2002, from $2.8
million for the first nine months of 2001, reflecting an increase of 26%. The
rental of additional floor space in the downtown Chicago office during 2002 and
the depreciation of fixed assets, software and equipment comprise this increase.
In May of 2002, the Company acquired the office building currently occupied by
the St. Charles location of The PrivateBank (Chicago). The $1.8 million cash
purchase was made based on a fair market value appraisal and was paid to Towne
Square Realty L.L.C., an entity 25% owned by a managing director of The
PrivateBank (Chicago). The St. Charles office of The PrivateBank (Chicago)
currently leases the space from the Company.

Professional fees increased to $1.1 million during the third quarter of
2002, reflecting an increase of 73% over the prior year quarter. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2002, professional fees increased by $1.0 million
over the prior year's first nine months, a 58% increase over prior year. The
increase in professional fees is primarily attributable to information systems
consultation to assist us in the implementation of system upgrades as well as in
the augmentation of our current disaster recovery network. During 2002, the
continued focus on the improvement and upgrade of information technology has
resulted in the investment in more personnel, software and hardware. During
2002, the Company paid cash compensation to the members of the Company's board
of directors in lieu of granting stock options. Professional fees for the third
quarter 2002 include consulting fees paid to a third party for management of the
renovation and improvements made to the floors occupied at the downtown Chicago
location. Additionally, mortgage banking expenses related to the sale of
residential real estate loans, which amounts have increased during 2002 due to
the higher level of mortgage refinancing activity, are included in professional
fees.

During the third quarter 2002, insurance expense increased 34% compared
to the prior year quarter to $118,000 as a result of continued growth in the
number of employees requiring additional insurance coverage. In addition, during
the third quarter 2002, the Company renegotiated all of its insurance coverage
pursuant to maturing policies. Insurance expense for the fourth quarter 2002
will reflect a full quarter expense of the renegotiated policies and will be
approximately 20% higher than the third quarter expense amounts.

Postage, telephone and delivery expenses decreased to $185,000 during
the third quarter 2002, a decrease of 8% over the prior year quarter. Office
supplies and printing costs decreased to $106,000 during the third quarter 2002,
a 37% decrease as compared to the prior year quarter. Office supplies and
printing expenses decreased 30% for the first nine months of 2002 from the
year-ago period's level of $359,000 to $251,000. Office supplies and printing
costs were higher in the prior year quarter primarily due to accumulated check
printing charges that were not passed on to customers.

Data processing fees increased 43% from $303,000 in the third quarter
2001 to $433,000 for the third quarter 2002. Data processing fees increased from
$875,000 for the first nine months of 2001 to $1.1 million for the first nine
months of 2002, an increase of 27%. The increase in data processing expense
during 2002 reflects increased costs associated with the reconfiguration of our
data lines to support our new data line

27

infrastructure that provides complete redundancy of our main operating facility
at one of our bank locations.

Other non-interest expense increased 16% from $239,000 in the prior
year quarter 2001 to $278,000 in the current quarter 2002. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, other non-interest expense decreased from $1.2 million
the prior year to $791,000 in the current period, a decrease of 32%. During the
second quarter 2001, the Company recognized charges of $561,000 related to the
resolution of certain items associated with prior system conversions that were
not recurring in 2002.

INCOME TAXES

The following table shows our income before income taxes, applicable
income taxes and effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively (in thousands):

NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30,
-------------
2002 2001
---- ----
Income before taxes.......... $9,935 $5,874
Income tax provision......... 2,148 1,592
Effective tax rate........... 21.6% 27.1%

The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30,
2002 as compared to the prior year period is primarily attributable to an
increase in the amount of federally tax-exempt municipal investment securities
held in our securities portfolio. Tax-exempt municipal securities increased from
$95.1 million at September 30, 2001 to $131.5 million at September 30, 2002, an
increase of 38%. The effective income tax rate varies from statutory rates
principally due to certain interest income, which is tax-exempt for federal or
state purposes, and certain expenses, which are disallowed for tax purposes.

The Company currently is taxed at a stated federal rate of 34% on its
taxable income. This rate will increase to 35% when the Company's annual taxable
income exceeds $10.0 million. The Company's stated federal tax rate may increase
in 2002 or 2003, and as a result, the tax equivalent adjustment for income on
federally tax-exempt municipal securities will be higher, resulting in a
positive impact on our reported net interest margin.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

TOTAL ASSETS

Total assets increased to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2002, an
increase of $227.6 million, or 19% over total assets of $1.2 billion at December
31, 2001, and an increase of $362.4 million, or 35% over total assets of $1.0
billion at September 30, 2001. The balance sheet growth during the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 was accomplished mainly through loan growth throughout
the Company and growth in the investment securities portfolio. The growth in
assets was funded through excess liquidity that resulted from the growth in core
deposits and our continued reliance on brokered deposits.

28

LOANS

Total loans increased to $913.2 million, an increase of $132.4 million,
or 17%, from $780.8 million at December 31, 2001, and an increase of $197.1
million, or 28%, from $716.1 million at September 30, 2001.

The PrivateBank (St. Louis) had loans outstanding of $99.5 million as
of September 30, 2002, growth of $26.0 million since December 31, 2001. The
PrivateBank (Chicago) generated the remaining loan growth of $106.4 million
experienced by the Company since December 31, 2001. All of The PrivateBank
(Chicago) offices posted strong gains in loan volume on a quarter over quarter
basis.

The following table sets forth our loan portfolio net of unearned
discount by category (in thousands) at the following dates:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Loan quality is continually monitored by management and reviewed by the
loan/investment committees of the boards of directors of the banks on a monthly
basis. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management
considers a variety of factors, including assessment of the credit risk of the
portfolio, delinquent loans, evaluation of current economic conditions in the
market area, actual charge-offs during the year and historical loss experience.
We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we deem adequate to absorb credit
losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents
our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date
based on review of available and relevant information, including probable losses
that have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships, as well
as probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and credit undertakings that
are not specifically identified. The unallocated portion of the reserve involves
the exercise of judgment by management and reflects various considerations,
including management's view that the reserve should have a margin that
recognizes the imprecision inherent in the process of estimating credit losses.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.17%
at September 30, 2002, 1.06% at December 31, 2001 and 1.06% at September 30,
2001. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to
provide for estimated probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For
the remainder of 2002, as the Company continues to monitor current economic
conditions and the resulting impact on specific borrower situations, the
allowance for loan losses will be adjusted accordingly.

Net charge-offs, primarily related to one commercial real estate
credit, totaled $95,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 versus net
charge-offs of $183,000 in

29

the year earlier period and $490,000 in the second quarter 2002. The provision
for loan losses was $828,000 in the third quarter of 2002, versus $845,000 in
the third quarter of 2001 and $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2002.
Management judges the adequacy of the allowance by formally reviewing and
analyzing potential problem credits, which entails assessing current and
historical loss experience, loan portfolio quality, volume and trends,
prevailing economic and business conditions, specific loan review and other
relevant factors.

Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands):

2002 2001
---- ----
Balance, January 1................................ $ 8,306 $6,108
Provisions charged to earnings.................... 2,948 1,922
Loans charged-off, net of recoveries.............. (612) (472)
------- ------
Balance, September 30............................. $10,642 $7,558
======= ======

NONPERFORMING LOANS

The following table classifies our non-performing loans as of the dates shown:

Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and accruing loans which
are 90 days or more delinquent. Loans in this category include those with
characteristics such as past maturity more than 90 days, those that have recent
adverse operating cash flow or balance sheet trends, or loans that have general
risk characteristics that management believes might jeopardize the future timely
collection of principal and interest payments. The balance in this category at
any reporting period can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash
collections, renegotiations and renewals.

Nonaccrual loans were $430,000 at September 30, 2002 as compared to
$664,000 at December 31, 2001 and $2.7 million at September 30, 2001. Nonaccrual
loans decreased by $234,000 since December 31, 2001. Loans delinquent over 90
days increased by $45,000 since December 31, 2001.

30

At September 30, 2002, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total
loans were 0.33%, down from 0.37% at June 30, 2002, 0.41% at December 31, 2001,
and 0.90% at September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2002, nonaccrual loans as a
percentage of total loans were 0.05%, versus 0.07% at June 30, 2002 and 0.37% at
September 30, 2001. Management believes credit quality remains strong; however,
the increased level of the allowance for loan losses reflects management's
ongoing assessment of the loan portfolio based on the various factors we
consider relevant, including the effect of the current weakened state of the
overall economy on some of our clients.

31

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The amortized cost and the estimated fair value of securities at
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, were as follows (in thousands):

All securities are classified as available-for-sale and may be sold as
part of our asset/liability management strategy in response to changes in
interest rates, liquidity needs or significant prepayment risk. Securities
available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with related unrealized net gains
or losses, net of deferred income taxes, recorded as an adjustment to equity.
Gross unrealized gains in the portfolio increased to $13.2 million as of
September 30, 2002 due to the historically low interest rate environment at
quarter-end. Net unrealized gains of $8.7 million after tax resulted in an
increase in reported stockholders' equity at September 30, 2002. This was an
increase of $8.4 million from net unrealized gains of $323,000 recorded as part
of equity at December 31, 2001. Management believes the credit quality of the
investment portfolio remains strong. The vast majority of investments are rated
"AAA" by bond rating agencies. It is our practice not to take any undue credit
risk with the investment portfolio.

32

Securities available-for-sale increased to $403.2 million at September
30, 2002, up 21% from $332.9 million at December 31, 2001. The growth in the
investment security portfolio since December 31, 2001 resulted from the
continued implementation of our asset/liability management strategy. Tax-exempt
municipal securities increased by $24.6 million to $131.5 million as of
September 30, 2002 compared to $106.9 million at December 31, 2001. These
securities provide net interest margin protection in a falling interest rate
environment. Corporate collateralized mortgage obligations decreased $700,000 to
$22.8 millions as of September 30, 2002 compared to $23.5 million at December
31, 2001. Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock increased to $128.4
million at September 30, 2002, an increase of $35.4 million since December 31,
2001, as a result of purchases made to take advantage of the liquid nature of
the investment. In October 2002, the Company purchased $25.0 million of
additional FHLB stock for asset- liability management purposes.

DEPOSITS AND FUNDS BORROWED

The following table presents the balances of deposits by category and
each category as a percentage of total deposits at September 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001:

Total deposits of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2002 represent an
increase of $313.0 million or 37% as compared to total deposits of $850.5
million as of December 31, 2001. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by 11%
to $81.0 million at September 30, 2002 as compared to $73.1 million at December
31, 2001. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased by 11% to $57.6 million as
compared to $52.1 million at December 31, 2001. Money market accounts increased
by $74.8 million to $425.7 million at September 30, 2002 as compared to $350.8
million at December 31, 2001. Other time deposits increased by $35.1 million to
$258.4 million as compared to $223.4 million at year-end 2001. Brokered deposits
increased by $186.1 million to $325.0 million at September 30, 2002 as compared
to $138.9 million at December 31, 2001.

We continued to utilize brokered deposits as a source of funding for
growth in the loan and investment portfolios. From time to time we may purchase
brokered deposits that include call option provisions, which can provide us with
the opportunity to repay the certificates of deposit on a specified date prior
to the contractual maturity date. During the third quarter of 2002, no brokered
deposits were called. As of September 30, 2002, there were no outstanding
brokered deposits containing call provisions.

Membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System gives us the ability to
borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) and from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) for short- or long-term purposes
under a variety of programs. We have periodically used the services of the FHLB
for short-term funding needs and other

34

correspondent services. During 2002, we have utilized brokered deposits as a
funding source in lieu of FHLB advances. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings
totaled $68.0 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $115.4 million at
December 31, 2001. Management anticipates that our reliance on FHLB advances
will remain at current levels for the remainder of 2002.

35

A summary of all funds borrowed and outstanding at September 30, 2002,
December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 is presented in the table below:

36

The decrease in funds borrowed as of September 30, 2002 as compared to
December 31, 2001, reflects a decrease in our federal funds purchased position
and decreases in FHLB fixed advances, offset by an increase in our borrowings
under our revolving line of credit.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2002, $20.0 million of the Company's outstanding trust
preferred securities was treated as Tier 1 capital. Stockholders' equity rose to
$79.3 million at September 30, 2002, an increase of $17.0 million from the 2001
year-end level, due to year-to-date 2002 net income of $7.8 million and a $8.4
million increase in the fair value of the available-for-sale investment
securities portfolio since year end.

The Company and its banking subsidiaries are subject to regulatory
capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy
guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are
also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk
weightings and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in
certain areas. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate
regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial
statements.

The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications,
including well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these
terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a banking
subsidiary is not "well capitalized," regulatory approval is required to accept
brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is
asset growth and expansion and plans for capital restoration are required.

The following table reflects our consolidated measures of capital at
September 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001:

To be considered "well-capitalized," an entity must maintain a leverage
ratio of at least 5.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, and
a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%. To be "adequately
capitalized," a bank must maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4.0%, a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.0%, and a total risk-based capital ratio
of at least 8.0%.

At September 30, 2002, on a consolidated basis, the Company together
with each of the banking subsidiaries continued to exceed the minimum levels of
all regulatory capital requirements and was considered "adequately capitalized".
Each stand-alone banking subsidiary was considered "well-capitalized" under all
regulatory standards at September 30, 2002. The Company expects to raise
additional capital during 2003 to support its growth plans.

37

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity measures our ability to meet maturing obligations and its
existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund our
operations and to provide for clients' credit needs. Our liquidity principally
depends on cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of
assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings and our ability to borrow
funds in the money or capital markets.

Net cash inflows provided by operations were $14.9 million in the first
nine months of 2002 compared to a net cash inflow of $17.0 million a year
earlier. Net cash outflows from investing activities were $195.0 million in the
first nine months of 2002 compared to a net cash outflow of $220.1 million a
year earlier. Cash inflows from financing activities in the first nine months of
2002 were $205.7 million compared to a net inflow of $192.5 million in the first
nine months of 2001.

In the event of short-term liquidity needs, our banking subsidiaries
may purchase federal funds from correspondent banks. Membership in the Federal
Home Loan Bank System gives the banking subsidiaries the ability to borrow funds
from the FHLB for short- or long-term purposes under a variety of programs.
Additionally, our available-for-sale investment in FHLB stock is redeemable for
cash at par in the event of liquidity needs.

During the third quarter 2002, we continued to rely on brokered
deposits to fund growth in loans and investment securities as well as liquidity
at our banks. For the remainder of 2002, we expect to continue to rely on
brokered deposits for liquidity purposes if brokered rates continue to compare
favorably to other sources of liquidity. Brokered deposits represented 28% of
total deposits at September 30, 2002 compared to 17% of total deposits at
December 31, 2001. Brokered deposits are obtained by negotiating amount, rate
and term with broker dealers that make a market in this product. Brokered
deposits are raised by broker dealers on a best-efforts basis and are not
guaranteed until settlement, which typically occurs five business days from the
date of placing the order for the brokered deposits. As brokered deposits
mature, we are required to return the funds via wire transfer together with
interest due to the broker dealer that originally placed the deposit with our
institution. New brokered deposits are originated with broker dealers that are
approved by our Board of Directors and all relevant terms of the deposit are
negotiated at that time.

38

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT POLICY

As a continuing part of our financial strategy, we attempt to manage
the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on our net interest income.
This effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate risk,
credit risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. Asset/liability management
policy is established by our Board of Directors and is monitored by management.
Our asset/liability policy sets standards within which we are expected to
operate. These standards include guidelines for exposure to interest rate
fluctuations, liquidity, loan limits as a percentage of funding sources,
exposure to correspondent banks and brokers, and reliance on non-core deposits.
The policy also states the reporting requirements to the Board of Directors. The
investment policy complements the asset/liability management policy by
establishing criteria by which we may purchase securities. These criteria
include approved types of securities, brokerage sources, terms of investment,
quality standards, and diversification.

We measure the impact of interest rate changes on our income statement
through the use of gap analysis. The gap represents the net position of assets
and liabilities subject to repricing in specified time periods. During any given
time period, if the amount of rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of
rate sensitive assets, a company would generally be considered negatively gapped
and would benefit from falling rates over that period of time. Conversely, a
positively gapped company would generally benefit from rising rates. The
following tables illustrate the estimated interest rate sensitivity and periodic
and cumulative gap positions calculated as of September 30, 2002 and December
31, 2001:

The following table shows the impact of an immediate 200 basis point
change in interest rates as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The
effects are determined through the use of a simulation model based on our
earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios, assuming the size of
these portfolios remains constant from the balance sheet date throughout the
one-year measurement period. The simulation assumes that assets and liabilities
accrue interest on their current pricing basis. Assets and liabilities then
reprice based on their terms and remain at that interest rate through the end of
the measurement period. The model attempts to illustrate the potential change in
net interest income if the foregoing occurred.

40

This table shows that if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift
in the yield curve of -200 basis points on September 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001, we would suffer a decline in net interest income of -7.2% and -4.7%,
respectively, over each one-year period. Conversely, a shift of +200 basis
points would increase net interest income 3.5% over a one-year horizon based on
September 30, 2002 balances, as compared to 3.0% measured on the basis of the
December 31, 2001 portfolio.

Changes in the effect on net interest income from a 200 basis point
movement at September 30, 2002, compared to December 31, 2001 are due to the
timing and nature of the repricing of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive
liabilities within the one year time frame. Although we are negatively gapped
within one year, the asset sensitive position of the balance sheet in the third
90 days of the simulation, coupled with the timing of repricing within the 91 to
365 day bucket, would lead to an increase in net interest income from an
immediate +200 basis point move. The difference in the effect on net interest
income at September 30, 2002 as compared to December 31, 2001 is due to the
differences in the timing, balances, and current rates versus simulated rates of
repricing assets and liabilities. The difference between the two measurement
periods is also a result of our increased asset sensitivity in the 90-day bucket
because of an increase in the purchase of FHLB stock and a decrease in fed funds
purchased since year-end.

Management's likely reaction to changes in interest rates is
incorporated in assumptions made in these calculations. Differences in these
assumptions between the reporting periods have also had the effect of reducing
the impact of a changing interest rate environment.

The preceding sensitivity analysis is based on numerous assumptions
including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the shape of
the yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, changes in deposit levels,
pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and
liability cash flows and others. While assumptions are developed based upon
current economic and local market conditions, we cannot make any assurances as
to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how client preferences
or competitor influences might change.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation
under their supervision, 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-15. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the

41

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 have been no significant changes to the Company's internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date that the internal controls were most recently evaluated.
There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified in that
evaluation and, therefore, no corrective actions were taken.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

Information and data contained in this report that are not historical
facts 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, as amended), which involve significant risks and uncertainties. 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
invoking 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," "plan," or
similar expressions. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual
effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results
may differ from those predicted. Factors which could have a material adverse
effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include, but are
not limited to, further declines in market rates of interest and fluctuations in
loan and deposit pricing, greater than anticipated deterioration in asset
quality due to a prolonged economic downturn in the greater Chicago and St.
Louis metropolitan areas or nationally, or other unanticipated circumstances,
legislative or regulatory changes, adverse developments in the Company's loan or
investment portfolios, competition, the possible dilutive effect of potential
acquisitions or expansion, if any, unforeseen developments, delays or
difficulties relating to the completion of the acquisition or integration of
Lodestar Investment Counsel, and changes in 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. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any of these
statements in light of future events except as required in subsequent periodic
reports we file with the SEC.
