PART I

Item 1. Description of Business

General

The Company, a Delaware corporation, is a regional financial services
organization based in Ottawa, Illinois, encompassing four bank subsidiaries (the
"Banks") and one non-bank subsidiary, UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company
("UnionFinancial"). Together, these entities serve customers in twenty-four bank
locations and one non-bank location from the far Western suburbs of the Chicago
metropolitan area across Central and Northern Illinois to the Mississippi River
in Western Illinois, with banking, trust, insurance, investment and electronic
offerings. The Banks and UnionFinancial are collectively referred to as the
"Subsidiaries."

Historical

The Company was originally formed in 1982 as the bank holding company
for UnionBank, an Illinois state bank with its main office located in Streator,
Illinois ("UnionBank"). In 1984, UnionBank/Sandwich, an Illinois state bank with
its main office located in Sandwich, Illinois ("Sandwich"), became a subsidiary
of the Company. In 1991, the Ottawa National Bank, Ottawa, Illinois, was
acquired and merged into UnionBank.

During 1996, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Prairie Bancorp, Inc. ("Prairie"), a multi-bank holding company
with six bank subsidiaries located in the Illinois communities of Carthage,
Hanover, Ladd, Manlius, Tampico and Tiskilwa, and also acquired Country
Bancshares, Inc. ("Country"), a one-bank holding company with a bank subsidiary
located in Macomb, Illinois.

In 1997, the Company acquired the remaining minority stock ownership
interests in and consolidated the operations of certain of the Banks. Also in
1997, Sandwich was merged with and into UnionBank; Tampico National Bank and The
First National Bank of Manlius were merged with and into Tiskilwa State Bank
under the name "UnionBank/Central"; and the Farmers State Bank of Ferris was
merged with and into Omni Bank under the name "UnionBank/West." The Company's
other banking subsidiary is UnionBank/Northwest, an Illinois state bank with its
main office located in Hanover, Illinois ("UnionBank/Northwest").

During 1998, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary
UnionFinancial Services, Inc., acquired the Mercier Insurance Agency, an
insurance/brokerage firm. Also, during the first quarter of 1998, UnionData
Corp, Inc., a wholly-owned electronic data processing subsidiary of the Company,
acquired Sainet, an Internet Service Provider. Both of these endeavors were part
of a transformation of the Company's internal structure, intended to create a
means for sustained revenue and earnings growth. In addition, during 1998, the
Company sold its 81.7% ownership of the outstanding stock of the Bank of Ladd,
an Illinois state bank with its main office located in Ladd, Illinois.

During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company completed the integration
between UnionFinancial Services, Inc. and UnionTrust Corporation. The newly
formed UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company is headquartered in Peru,
Illinois and offers a complete line of insurance, brokerage and trust services.
Also during 2001, in order to create a flatter, more efficient organizational
structure, UnionData Corp, Inc. collapsed its charter and was, subsequently,
absorbed by the holding company. It is now known as the Information Technology
division of UnionBancorp, Inc. Continuing its internet and cash management
offerings, the department placed a renewed emphasis on improving the internal
infrastructure of the organization, under the direction of a three-year
technology plan.

1.


Operations

The Company's strategic plan contemplates an increase in profitability
and stockholder value through an expansion of the Company's market area, a focus
on asset quality, an enhanced sales and service environment and improved
operational efficiencies, through the targeted use of technology. In the
mid-1990's, the Company began implementing this plan by realigning its
management structure through the redefinition of certain officers' duties and
functions, hiring additional experienced senior executives and developing, among
its employees, an aggressive retail culture. The acquisitions of Prairie and
Country significantly increased the presence of the Company within the region's
financial communities. Because of the reputations of the Company and its
executive officers in the financial services industry, the Company believes that
it will be an attractive alternative to future sellers of community banks and
thrifts. The Company believes that it can successfully manage these
community-based institutions to increase their profitability, by expanding
cross-selling efforts and emphasizing those products and services offering the
highest return on investment.

The Company's operating strategy is to provide customers with the
business sophistication and breadth of products of a regional financial services
company, while retaining the special attention to personal service and the local
appeal of a community establishment. In each of the Company's twenty-five
locations, customers have access to a wide range of products and services aimed
at meeting the demands of a diverse market base. Committed to the concept of one
stop financial shopping, customers can ascertain assistance on their banking,
trust, insurance, investment and internet needs from the Company's experienced
staff or enjoy the convenience of online services from the comfort of their own
homes. With its continued growth and evolution, the Company also remains rooted
in its strong presence in the communities it serves. The participation of the
Company's directors, officers and employees in area civic and service
organizations demonstrates this ongoing commitment. Management believes that,
together, these qualities distinguish the Company from its competitors and will
enable the Company to compete successfully in its market area against other
regional and interstate institutions.

Geographically, the Company serves the financial needs of contiguous
counties located in north central Illinois through the Banks. In recent years,
the Company has expanded its activities from north central Illinois into markets
surrounding the Chicago metropolitan area, as well as into additional areas of
Northern and Western Illinois.

The Banks offer a wide range of commercial and retail lending services
to corporations, partnerships and individuals, including, but not limited to,
commercial business loans, commercial and residential real estate construction
and mortgage loans, loan participations, consumer loans, revolving lines of
credit and letters of credit. The Banks make direct and indirect installment
loans to consumers and commercial customers, originate and service residential
mortgages and handle the secondary marketing of those mortgages. Agricultural
loans also play a role in the Company's overall lending portfolio, although most
of this lending activity is based in the north central portion of the Company's
market area. The Banks also offer a full range of depository services including
traditional savings, checking and money market accounts. Credit and debit cards,
as well as home banking and bill pay options, target those customers who seek
the convenience of electronic services.

UnionFinancial provides a variety of additional financial solutions,
namely trust and asset management alternatives, a full line of personal and
commercial insurance products and personalized investment options. The Company
continues to devote special attention to these financial services areas, as the
demands of customers steadily move towards non-traditional financial offerings.

2.


Competition

Spanning fifteen Illinois counties, the Company's market area is highly
competitive with commercial banks, savings and loan associations and credit
unions. In addition, financial institutions, based in surrounding communities
and in Chicago, actively compete for customers within the Company's market area.
The Company also faces competition from finance companies, insurance companies,
mortgage companies, securities brokerage firms, money market funds, loan
production offices and other providers of financial services.

The Company competes for loans principally through the range and quality
of the services it provides and through competitive interest rates and loan
fees. The Company believes that its long-standing presence in the communities it
serves and personal service philosophy enhance its ability to compete favorably
in attracting and retaining individual and business customers. The Company
actively solicits deposit-related customers and competes for deposits by
offering customers personal attention, professional service and competitive
interest rates.

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, effective March 11, 2000,
securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding
companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and future action stemming from the Act, is expected to
continue to significantly change the competitive environment in which the
Company and the Banks conduct business. The financial services industry is also
likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more
companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may
diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial
intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties.

Employees

At December 31, 2002, the Company employed 356 full-time equivalent
employees. The Company places high priority on staff development, which involves
extensive training on product offerings, customer service, management practices
and leadership skills. New employees are selected on the basis of both technical
skills and customer service capabilities. None of the Company's employees are
covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the Company. The Company
offers a variety of employee programs and benefits, and management considers its
employee relations to be excellent.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively
regulated under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings
performance of the Company can be affected not only by management decisions and
general economic conditions, but also by the requirements of applicable state
and federal statutes and regulations and the policies of various governmental
regulatory authorities, including the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Real
Estate (the "Commissioner"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC"), the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities and the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The effect of applicable
statutes, regulations and regulatory policies can be significant, and cannot be
predicted with a high degree of certainty.

Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial
institutions, such as the Company and its subsidiaries, regulate, among other
things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital
levels relative to operations, the nature and amount of collateral for loans,
the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system

3.


of supervision and regulation applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries
establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is
intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance funds and
the depositors, rather than the shareholders, of financial institutions.

The following is a summary of the material elements of the regulatory
framework that applies to the Company and its subsidiaries. It does not describe
all of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that apply to the
Company and its subsidiaries, nor does it restate all of the requirements of the
statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that are described. As such, the
following is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable statutes,
regulations and regulatory policies. Any change in applicable law, regulations
or regulatory policies may have a material effect on the business of the Company
and its subsidiaries.

The Company

General. The Company, as the sole stockholder of UnionBank; Prairie, as
the sole stockholder of UnionBank/Central and UnionBank/Northwest; and Country,
as the sole stockholder of UnionBank/West, are each bank holding companies. As
bank holding companies, the Company, Prairie and Country are registered with,
and are subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding
Company Act, as amended (the "BHCA"). In accordance with Federal Reserve policy,
the Company, Prairie and Country are expected to act as a source of financial
strength to their respective bank subsidiaries and to commit resources to
support their respective bank subsidiaries in circumstances where the Company,
Prairie or Country might not do so absent such policy. Under the BHCA, the
Company, Prairie and Country are subject to periodic examination by the Federal
Reserve and are required to file with the Federal Reserve periodic reports of
their respective operations and such additional information as the Federal
Reserve may require. The Company, Prairie and Country are also subject to
regulation by the Commissioner under the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act, as
amended.

Investments and Activities. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must
obtain Federal Reserve approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly,
ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding
company if, after the acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of the
shares of the other bank or bank holding company (unless it already owns or
controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all
of the assets of another bank; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another
bank holding company. Subject to certain conditions (including certain deposit
concentration limits established by the BHCA), the Federal Reserve may allow a
bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of the United States
without regard to whether the acquisition is prohibited by the law of the state
in which the target bank is located. In approving interstate acquisitions,
however, the Federal Reserve is required to give effect to applicable state law
limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the
acquiring bank holding company and its insured depository institution affiliates
in the state in which the target bank is located (provided that those limits do
not discriminate against out-of-state depository institutions or their holding
companies) and state laws which require that the target bank have been in
existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) before being
acquired by an out-of-state bank holding company.

The BHCA also generally prohibits the Company, Prairie and Country from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in any business
other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or furnishing
services to banks and their subsidiaries. This general prohibition is subject to
a number of exceptions. The principal exception allows bank holding companies to
engage in, and to own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found
by the Federal Reserve to be "so closely related to banking ... as to be a
proper incident thereto." Under current regulations of the Federal Reserve, the
Company and its non-bank subsidiaries are permitted to engage in a variety of
banking-related businesses, including the operation of a thrift, sales and
consumer finance, equipment leasing, the operation of a computer service bureau

4.


(including software development), and mortgage banking and brokerage. The BHCA
generally does not place territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of
non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies.

Federal law also prohibits any person or company from acquiring
"control" of a bank or bank holding company without prior notice to the
appropriate federal bank regulator. "Control" is defined in certain cases as the
acquisition of 10% of the outstanding shares of a bank or bank holding company.

Capital Requirements. Bank holding companies are required to maintain
minimum levels of capital in accordance with Federal Reserve capital adequacy
guidelines. If capital falls below minimum guideline levels, a bank holding
company, among other things, may be denied approval to acquire or establish
additional banks or non-bank businesses.

The Federal Reserve's capital guidelines establish the following minimum
regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies: a risk-based
requirement expressed as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets, and a
leverage requirement expressed as a percentage of total assets. The risk-based
requirement consists of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted
assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The leverage
requirement consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3%
for the most highly rated companies, with a minimum requirement of 4% for all
others. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital consists
primarily of permanent stockholders' equity less intangible assets (other than
certain mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships).
Total capital consists primarily of Tier 1 capital plus certain other debt and
equity instruments which do not qualify as Tier 1 capital and a portion of the
company's allowance for loan and lease losses.

The risk-based and leverage standards described above are minimum
requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the
particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations.
For example, the Federal Reserve's capital guidelines contemplate that
additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other
things, interest rate risk, or the risks posed by concentrations of credit,
nontraditional activities or securities trading activities. Further, any banking
organization experiencing or anticipating significant growth would be expected
to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions (i.e., Tier 1
capital less all intangible assets), well above the minimum levels.

As of December 31, 2002, the Company, Prairie and Country each had
regulatory capital in excess of the Federal Reserve's minimum requirements, as
follows:

Risk-Based Leverage
Capital Ratio Capital Ratio
------------- -------------

Company 11.84% 7.48%

Prairie 14.82% 8.76%

Country 12.77% 8.50%

Dividends. The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") allows the
Company to pay dividends only out of its surplus (as defined and computed in
accordance with the provisions of the DGCL) or if the Company has no such
surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is
declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

5.


Further, the Illinois Business Corporation Act, as amended, prohibits an
Illinois corporation, such as Prairie or Country, from paying a dividend if,
after giving effect to the dividend: (i) the corporation would be insolvent; or
(ii) the net assets of the corporation would be less than zero; or (iii) the net
assets of the corporation would be less than the maximum amount then payable to
stockholders of the corporation who would have preferential distribution rights
if the corporation were liquidated.

Additionally, the Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement with
regard to the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. The policy
statement provides that a bank holding company should not pay cash dividends
which exceed its net income or which can only be funded in ways that weaken the
bank holding company's financial health, such as by borrowing. The Federal
Reserve also possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their
non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or
unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among
these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and
bank holding companies.

Federal Securities Regulation. The Company's common stock is registered
with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Consequently, the Company
is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other
restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.

The Banks

All of the Banks are Illinois-chartered banks, the deposit accounts of
which are insured by the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). The Banks are also
members of the Federal Reserve System ("member banks"). As Illinois-chartered,
FDIC-insured member banks, the Banks are subject to the examination,
supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the Commissioner, as the
chartering authority for Illinois banks, the Federal Reserve, as the primary
federal regulator of member banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF.

Deposit Insurance. As FDIC-insured institutions, the Banks are required
to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a
risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are
placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon
their respective levels of capital and results of supervisory evaluations.
Institutions classified as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and
considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than
adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial
supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification, of all insured
institutions, is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, BIF assessments ranged from 0%
of deposits to 0.27% of deposits. For the semi-annual assessment period
beginning January 1, 2003, BIF assessment rates will continue to range from 0%
of deposits to 0.27% of deposits.

The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository
institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution (i)
has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, (ii) is in an unsafe
or unsound condition to continue operations or (iii) has violated any applicable
law, regulation, order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or written
agreement with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance
temporarily during the hearing process for a permanent termination of insurance,
if the institution has no tangible capital. Management of the Company is not
aware of any activity or condition that could result in termination of the
deposit insurance of the Banks.

6.


FICO Assessments. Since 1987, a portion of the deposit insurance
assessments paid by members of the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF") has been used to cover interest payments due on the outstanding
obligations of the Financing Corporation ("FICO"). FICO was created in 1987 to
finance the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation, the SAIF's predecessor insurance fund. As a result of federal
legislation enacted in 1996, beginning as of January 1, 1997, both SAIF members
and BIF members became subject to assessments to cover the interest payments on
outstanding FICO obligations. These FICO assessments are in addition to amounts
assessed by the FDIC for deposit insurance. Between January 1, 2000 and the
final maturity of the outstanding FICO obligations in 2019, BIF members and SAIF
members will share the cost of the interest on the FICO bonds on a pro rata
basis. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the FICO assessment rate for
SAIF members ranged between approximately 0.0170% of deposits and approximately
0.0182% of deposits, while the FICO assessment rate for BIF members ranged
between approximately 0.0170% of deposits and approximately 0.0182% of deposits.
During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Banks paid FICO assessments
totaling $105,677.

Supervisory Assessments. All Illinois banks are required to pay
supervisory assessments to the Commissioner to fund the operations of the
Commissioner. The amount of the assessment is calculated based on the
institution's total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported to
the Commissioner. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Banks paid
supervisory assessments to the Commissioner totaling $111,353.

Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has established the following
minimum capital standards for state-chartered Federal Reserve System member
banks, such as the Banks: a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio
of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with a
minimum requirement of at least 4% for all others, and a risk-based capital
requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of total capital to total
risk-weighted assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital.
For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital and total capital
consist of substantially the same components as Tier 1 capital and total capital
under the Federal Reserve's capital guidelines for bank holding companies (see
"--The Company--Capital Requirements").

The capital requirements described above are minimum requirements.
Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular
circumstances or risk profiles of individual institutions. For example, the
regulations of the Federal Reserve provide that additional capital may be
required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk or
the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or
securities trading activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, none of the Banks was required
by the Federal Reserve to increase its capital to an amount in excess of the
minimum regulatory requirement. As of December 31, 2002, each of the Banks
exceeded its minimum regulatory capital requirements, as follows:

Risk-Based Leverage
Capital Ratio Capital Ratio
------------- -------------

UnionBank 12.68% 8.30%

UnionBank/ Central 14.09% 8.23%

UnionBank/ West 13.19% 8.80%

Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to
take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized
institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the
institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"

7.


"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically
undercapitalized," in each case as defined by regulation. Depending upon the
capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators' corrective
powers include: requiring the institution to submit a capital restoration plan;
limiting the institution's asset growth and restricting its activities;
requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including
additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions between the
institution and its affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution
may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution;
requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting
the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the
institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal
or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the
institution. As of December 31, 2002, each of the Banks was well capitalized, as
defined by Federal Reserve regulations.

Additionally, institutions insured by the FDIC may be liable for any
loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in
connection with the default of commonly controlled FDIC insured depository
institutions or any assistance provided by the FDIC to commonly controlled FDIC
insured depository institutions in danger of default.

Dividends. Under the Illinois Banking Act, Illinois-chartered banks may
not pay, without prior regulatory approval, dividends in excess of their net
profits. The Federal Reserve Act also imposes limitations on the amount of
dividends that may be paid by state member banks, such as the Banks. Generally,
a member bank may pay dividends out of its undivided profits, in such amounts
and at such times as the bank's board of directors deems prudent. Without prior
Federal Reserve approval, however, a state member bank may not pay dividends in
any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed the bank's calendar
year-to-date net income plus the bank's retained net income for the two
preceding calendar years.

The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding
company is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to
applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a financial
institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following
payment thereof, the institution would be undercapitalized. As described above,
each of the Banks exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable
guidelines and had approximately $7.2 million available to be paid as dividends
to the Company by the Banks as of December 31, 2002. Notwithstanding the
availability of funds for dividends, however, the Federal Reserve may prohibit
the payment of any dividends by the Banks if the Federal Reserve determines such
payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

Insider Transactions. The Banks are subject to certain restrictions
imposed by federal law on extensions of credit to the Company and its
subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and
its subsidiaries and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the
Company or its subsidiaries as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and
reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Banks to
their respective directors and officers, to directors and officers of the
Company and its subsidiaries, to principal stockholders of the Company, and to
"related interests" of such directors, officers and principal stockholders. In
addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person
becoming a director or officer of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a
principal stockholder of the Company may obtain credit from banks with which one
of the Banks maintains a correspondent relationship.

Safety and Soundness Standards. The federal banking agencies have
adopted guidelines, which establish operational and managerial standards to
promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions.
The guidelines set forth standards for internal controls, information systems,
internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate
exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and
earnings.

8.


In general, the safety and soundness guidelines prescribe the goals to
be achieved in each area, and each institution is responsible for establishing
its own procedures to achieve those goals. If an institution fails to comply
with any of the standards set forth in the guidelines, the institution's primary
federal regulator may require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and
maintaining compliance. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable
compliance plan, or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan
that has been accepted by its primary federal regulator, the regulator is
required to issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency.
Until the deficiency cited in the regulator's order is cured, the regulator may
restrict the institution's rate of growth, require the institution to increase
its capital, restrict the rates the institution pays on deposits or require the
institution to take any action the regulator deems appropriate under the
circumstances. Noncompliance with the standards established by the safety and
soundness guidelines may also constitute grounds for other enforcement action by
the federal banking regulators, including cease and desist orders and civil
money penalty assessments.

Branching Authority. Illinois banks, such as the Banks, have the
authority under Illinois law to establish branches anywhere in the State of
Illinois, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of
1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act"), both state and national banks are allowed to
establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks,
subject to certain conditions, including certain limitations on the aggregate
amount of deposits that may be held by the surviving bank and all of its insured
depository institution affiliates. The establishment of new interstate branches
or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather
than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed by the
Riegle-Neal Act only if specifically authorized by state law. The legislation
allowed individual states to "opt-out" of certain provisions of the Riegle-Neal
Act by enacting appropriate legislation prior to June 1, 1997. Illinois has
enacted legislation permitting interstate mergers beginning on June 1, 1997,
subject to certain conditions, including a prohibition against interstate
mergers involving an Illinois bank that has been in existence and continuous
operation for fewer than five years.

State Bank Activities. Under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC
insured state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making
or retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not
permissible for a national bank. Federal law and FDIC regulations also prohibit
FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions,
from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national
bank or its subsidiary, respectively, unless the bank meets, and continues to
meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the
activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund of
which the bank is a member. These restrictions have not had, and are not
currently expected to have, a material impact on the operations of the Banks.

Federal Reserve System. Federal Reserve regulations, as presently in
effect, require depository institutions to maintain non-interest earning
reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking
accounts), as follows: for transaction accounts aggregating $42.1 million or
less, the reserve requirement is 3% of total transaction accounts; and for
transaction accounts aggregating in excess of $42.1 million, the reserve
requirement is $1.263 million plus 10% of the aggregate amount of total
transaction accounts in excess of $421million. The first $6.0 million of
otherwise reservable balances are exempted from the reserve requirements. These
reserve requirements are subject to annual adjustment by the Federal Reserve.
The Banks are in compliance with the foregoing requirements.

Financial Services Subsidiary

UnionBank is the sole stockholder of UnionFinancial Services & Trust
Company ("UnionFinancial"), an Illinois corporation licensed as a general
insurance agency by the Illinois Department of Insurance (the "Department").
UnionFinancial is subject to supervision and regulation by the Department with

9.


regard to compliance with the laws and regulations governing insurance agents
and by the Commissioner and the Federal Reserve with regard to compliance with
banking laws and regulations applicable to subsidiaries of Illinois-chartered
member banks.

UnionFinancial's trust division conducts a full service trust business
in the State of Illinois, pursuant to a certificate of authority issued to the
Commissioner under the Illinois Corporate Fiduciaries Act (the "Fiduciaries
Act"). The Fiduciaries Act requires the trust division, to maintain, among other
things, a minimum level of capital, as determined by the Commissioner, and to
obtain the approval of the Commissioner before opening branch offices or
acquiring another trust company. The trust division is subject to periodic
examination by the Commissioner and the Commissioner has the authority to take
action against it to enforce compliance with the laws applicable to its
operations. The trust division is also subject to supervision and regulation by
the Federal Reserve under the BHCA.

Item 2. Properties

At December 31, 2002, the Company operated twenty-four banking offices
and one non-bank office in Illinois. The principal offices of the Company are
located in Ottawa, Illinois. All of the Company's offices are owned either by
one of the Banks or by UnionFinancial and are not subject to any mortgage or
material encumbrance, with the exception of three offices that are leased
located in LaSalle and Bureau counties. The Company believes that its current
facilities are adequate for its existing business.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are involved in any
pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the
normal course of business, which, in the opinion of management, in the
aggregate, are not material to the Company's consolidated financial condition.

PART II

Item 5. Market For Registrant's Common Equity And Related Stockholder Matters

The Company's Common Stock was held by approximately 1,033 stockholders
of record as of March 3, 2003, and is traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market under
the symbol "UBCD." The table below indicates the high and low sales prices of
the Common Stock for transactions of which the Company is aware, and the
dividends declared per share for the Common Stock during the periods indicated.
Because the Company is not aware of the price at which certain private
transactions in the Common Stock have occurred, the prices shown may not
necessarily represent the complete range of prices at which transactions in the
Common Stock have occurred during such periods.

The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends as
declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, which considers payment of
dividends quarterly. Upon the consummation of the acquisition of Prairie in
1996, preferential dividends were required to be paid or accrued quarterly, with
respect to the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The ability of the Company
to pay dividends in the future will be primarily dependent upon its receipt of
dividends from the Banks. In determining cash dividends, the Board of Directors
considers the earnings, capital requirements, debt and dividend servicing
requirements, financial ratio guidelines it has established, financial condition
of the Company and other relevant factors. The Banks' ability to pay dividends
to the Company and the Company's ability to pay dividends to its stockholders
are also subject to certain regulatory restrictions.

The Company has paid regular cash dividends on the Common Stock since it
commenced operations in 1982. There can be no assurance, however, that any such
dividends will be paid by the Company or that such dividends will not be reduced
or eliminated in the future. The timing and amount of dividends will depend upon

11.


the earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of the Company and
the Banks, as well as the general economic conditions and other relevant factors
affecting the Company and the Banks. In 1996, the Company entered into a new
loan agreement in connection with the acquisition of Prairie and Country,
replacing the Company's prior loan agreement. The new loan agreement contains no
direct prohibitions against the payment by the Company of dividends, but
indirectly restricts such dividends through the required maintenance of minimum
capital ratios. In addition, the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the
Series B Preferred Stock issued to certain of Prairie's preferred stockholders
prohibit the payment of dividends by the Company on the Common Stock during any
period for which dividends on the respective series of Preferred Stock are in
arrears.

Except in connection with stock dividends and stock splits, the Company
has not issued any securities in the past three years which were not registered
for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Act of 1934 as amended. The Company intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor
provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of the Company, are
generally identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate," or "project" or similar expressions. The Company's
ability to predict results, or the actual effect of future plans or strategies,
is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on
the operations and future prospects of the Company and the subsidiaries include,
but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates; general economic conditions;
legislative/regulatory changes; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve
Board; the quality and composition of the loan or securities portfolios; demand
for loan products; deposit flows; competition; demand for financial services in
the Company's market areas; the Company's implementation of new technologies;
the Company's ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic
systems; and accounting principles, policies, and guidelines. These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and
undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

General

UnionBancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a bank holding company organized
under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company derives most of its
revenues and income from the operations of its banking subsidiaries (the
"Banks"), but also derives revenue from its nonbank subsidiary, UnionFinancial
Services & Trust Company ("UnionFinancial"). The Company provides a full range
of services to individual and corporate customers located in the north central
and west central Illinois areas. These services include demand, time, and
savings deposits; lending; mortgage banking; insurance products; brokerage
services; asset management; and trust services. The Company is subject to
competition from other financial institutions, including banks, thrifts and
credits unions, as well as nonfinancial institutions providing financial
services. Additionally, the Company and the Banks are subject to regulations of
certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those
regulatory agencies.

The Company has filed applications with the Federal Reserve Bank and the
Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate to merge UnionBank/Central, a
stand-alone bank subsidiary, into the Company's flagship bank, UnionBank.
Consolidation of these entities is expected to provide several benefits to the
organization including an improved utilization of personnel as a result of the
consolidation of various backroom functions, which will result in a reduction in
duplicated job functions and a lessening of various administrative and
operational tasks. Simplified financial reporting, the elimination of
inter-company banking transactions and a flatter, more efficient management
structure will improve the Company's workflow, while an increased legal lending
limit and additional product and service offerings in our cross-over markets
will be advantageous to our existing and future customer base. The transaction
is expected to be consummated late in the first quarter or early in the second
quarter of 2003. Since UnionBank/Central is under common control, the merger
will be accounted for at UnionBank/Central's carrying amount which will have no
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company is also in the process of constructing a new branch facility
in Yorkville, Illinois, one of the fastest growing Chicago suburbs. Aimed at
providing one-stop financial shopping to our customers, the Yorkville site will
deliver convenience and financial security by offering our full line of

financial services including banking, trust, internet, insurance and investment
products. The facility is slated to open in the third quarter of 2003 and will
be located in the new Yorkville Marketplace development at Routes 34 and 47.

Results of Operations

Net Income

2002 compared to 2001. Net income equaled $4,044 or $0.94 per diluted
share for the year ended December 31, 2002. This compares to net income of
$4,454 or $1.05 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2001. This
represents a 9.2% decrease in net income and a 10.5% decrease in per share
earnings.

The Company's annual results were adversely impacted by several factors.
These include costs associated with other real estate owned ("OREO"), as the
Company recorded a valuation allowance on one OREO property, in addition to
other losses on the sale and general operating expenses incurred on OREO;
increases in other operating expenses incurred to support the growing level of
business activity and continued investments in the Company; and a decrease in
the gains on sale of securities. Offsetting these factors were increases in net
interest income, revenue generated from the mortgage banking division, and
reductions in the provision for loan losses and income taxes.

Also contributing to the change in earnings was the Company's adoption
of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No. 147
"Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions." The adoption of these
accounting standards allowed the Company to cease the amortization of goodwill
related to various acquisitions.

Return on average assets was 0.53% for the period compared to 0.59% for
the same period in 2001. Return on average stockholders' equity was 6.11% for
the period compared to 7.04% for the same period in 2001.

2001 compared to 2000. Net income equaled $4,454 or $1.05 per diluted
share for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared with net income of $2,903 or
$0.66 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2000. This represents a
59.1% increase in per share earnings and a 53.4% increase in net income.

The annual earnings growth was driven by several factors. These include
the continued strong performance of the mortgage banking division which yielded
a record period in volume and revenue generation, increased net interest income
largely related to the sustained interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve,
gains on the sale of securities, and a decrease in the provision for loan
losses. These improvements were partially offset by an increase in noninterest
expense, incurred to support the growing levels of business activities, and
continued investments in the Company.

Return on average assets was 0.59% for the year ended December 31, 2001
compared to 0.40% for the same period in 2000. Return on average stockholders'
equity was 7.04% for the period compared to 5.09% for the same period in 2000.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between income earned on
interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred for the funding
sources used to finance these assets. Changes in net interest income generally

14.


UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
(In Thousands, Except Share Data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

occur due to fluctuations in the volume of earning assets and paying liabilities
and rates earned and paid, respectively, on those assets and liabilities. The
net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as net interest
margin, represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning
assets. Net interest margin measures how efficiently the Company uses its
earning assets and underlying capital.

The Company's long-term objective is to manage those assets and
liabilities to provide the largest possible amount of income while balancing
interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risks. For purposes of this
discussion, both net interest income and margin have been adjusted to a fully
tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt securities and loans.

2002 compared to 2001. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis,
was $26,289 for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared with $25,561 earned
during the same period in 2001. This represented an increase of $728 or 2.9%.
The improvement in net interest income is attributable to the year-over-year
reduction of interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities totaling
$9,199 exceeding the year-over-year reduction of interest income earned on
interest earning assets totaling $8,471. Also contributing to the increase in
net interest income was a shift in the funding mix from higher costing time
deposits and other wholesale sources to lower costing core deposits (DDA, Now,
IMMIA and Savings).

The $8,471 change in interest income resulted from decreases of $500
associated with volume and $7,971 related to rate. The majority of the decrease
in interest income was related to a 113 basis point decline in yields earned on
average loans. Also contributing was a shift in the earning-asset mix from
higher yielding loans to lower yielding investments. The $9,199 change in
interest expense resulted from decreases of $1,266 associated with volume and
$7,933 associated with rate. The majority of the decrease was attributable to a
159 basis point reduction in the rates paid on total time deposits, primarily
located in expensive wholesale funding sources. This was a deliberate strategy
aimed at reducing the Company's reliance on these higher-cost funding sources
and to reduce interest rate risk.

Despite a difficult rate environment, the Company's net interest margin
improved in 2002. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the
period increased 10 basis points to 3.74% as compared to the prior year's 3.64%.
Lower funding costs, a result of actively reducing funding rates simultaneously
with Federal Reserve Board actions, were principally responsible for the margin
increase. Also, a decrease in loan balances and an increase in noninterest
bearing sources, allowed management to reduce the Company's reliance on
high-rate brokered deposits and retail time deposits. These actions were
partially offset by narrower loan spreads, due to competitive pressures, overall
tightening of loan underwriting standards which resulted in slower than expected
loan growth and the cost of carrying a higher level of nonperforming loans.
Specifically, yields on interest-earning assets decreased 122 basis points to
6.60% as compared to the prior year's 7.82%. In contrast, rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities decreased 148 basis points to 3.29% as compared to
the prior year's 4.77%.

2001 compared to 2000. Net interest income was $25,561 for the year
ended December 31, 2001, compared with $24,682 earned during the same period in
2000. This represented an increase of $879 or 3.6%. The improvement in net
interest income is attributable to the year-over-year reduction of interest
expense paid on interest bearing liabilities totaling $1,300 exceeding the
year-over-year reduction of interest income earned on interest-earning assets
totaling $421. The Company experienced a decline in the cost of funds due to
sustained interest rate cuts initiated by the Federal Reserve which was
partially offset by decreases in rates earned on loans due to competitive
pressures, overall tightening of loan underwriting standards, slower than
expected loan growth, and the cost of carrying a higher level of nonperforming
loans. The on-going reduction of interest rates positively impacted net interest
income as the Company's liability sensitive balance sheet repriced liabilities

15.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

downward at a faster pace than rates declined on interest earning assets. Also
contributing to the increase in net interest income was average loan growth of
$19,159, or 4.0%, over the same period in 2000.

The $421 decrease in interest income resulted from a $2,433 improvement
associated with volume offset by a $2,854 decline related to rate. The majority
of the decrease in interest income was related to a 38 basis point decline in
interest earned on average loans driven by the commercial loan portfolio, which
more than offset the $19,159 improvement in average loan volume. The growth in
average interest-earning assets was offset by the decline in yields earned on
interest-earning assets, as all categories of interest-earning assets were
impacted by the decline in market interest rates.

The $1,300 decrease in interest expense resulted from a $1,505
improvement associated with volume offset by a $2,805 decline associated with
rate. The majority of the decrease was attributable to a reduction in the rates
paid on total interest-bearing liabilities located in expensive wholesale
funding sources, including brokered deposits, which resulted in a 30 basis point
decrease in the cost of total time deposits. This was a deliberate strategy
aimed at reducing the Company's reliance on these higher-cost funding sources
and to reduce interest rate risk.

The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis for the period
decreased 3 basis points to 3.64% as compared to the prior year's 3.67%. The
Company's net interest margin was impacted by the decline in short-term interest
rates and the steepening of the yield curve. This was offset by narrower loan
spreads, due to competitive pressures, overall tightening of loan underwriting
standards, slower than expected loan growth, and the cost of carrying a higher
level of nonperforming loans. Specifically, yields on interest-earning assets
decreased 42 basis points to 7.82% as compared to the prior year's 8.24%. In
contrast, rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 43 basis points
to 4.77% as compared to the prior year's 5.20%.

The following table sets forth for each category of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities the average amounts outstanding, the
interest earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate paid during 2002,
2001 and 2000. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on all
interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on all interest-bearing
liabilities, and the net yield on average interest-earning assets for the same
period. For purposes of this discussion, both net interest income and margin
have been adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt
securities and loans.

The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount
and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to
as "volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other
borrowed funds referred to as "rate change." The following table reflects the
changes in net interest income stemming from changes in interest rates and from
asset and liability volume, including mix. Any variance attributable jointly to
volume and rate changes is allocated to the volume and rate variances in
proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change in
each.

Provision for Loan Losses. The amount of the provision for loan losses
is based on management's evaluations of the loan portfolio, with particular
attention directed toward nonperforming and other potential problem loans.
During these evaluations, consideration is also given to such factors as
management's evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of impaired
loans, other nonperforming loans, other identified potential problem loans,
historical loss experience, results of examinations by regulatory agencies,
results of the independent asset quality review process, the market value of
collateral, the estimate of discounted cash flows, the strength and availability
of guarantees, concentrations of credits, and various other factors, including
concentration of credit risk in various industries and current economic
conditions.

2002 compared to 2001. The 2002 provision for loan losses charged to
operating expense totaled $3,574, a decrease of $587 in comparison to the $4,161
recorded during the same period a year ago. The Company's year to date
provisions are a continued response to the deterioration of several seasoned
credits that surfaced and have been reserved for, downgrades of various other
credits and the continued softening of the economy. In addition, management also
considered several factors surrounding credit-quality, including the level of

18.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
(In Thousands, Except Share Data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

nonperforming loans, the number of customers filing for bankruptcy, and net
charge-offs and delinquencies. In some cases, problem loans had been previously
identified; however, the loss incurred was greater than anticipated because of a
soft commercial real estate market in specific industries and additional losses
in the manufacturing, travel, and technology sectors. The provision is
consistent with the Company's practice of focusing on early identification of
problem credits, an assessment of probable incurred losses and quick remediation
where possible.

Net charge-offs in 2002 were $3,419 compared with $4,280 in 2001.
Annualized net charge-offs decreased to 0.70% of average loans for 2002 compared
to 0.85% in the same period in 2001. The high, though reduced level of net
charge-offs compared to 2001, resulted from the impact of the weak economic
climate and greater scrutiny by management in identifying problem credits for
our watch list. As these credits continued to deteriorate, management actively
sought methods of improving problem credits or recognized the need to charge-off
non-bankable assets. In some cases, problem loans had been previously
identified; however, the loss incurred was greater than anticipated. Other
factors included an increase in the number of bankruptcies due to the soft
commercial real estate market in specific industries and additional losses in
the manufacturing, travel, and technology sectors.

Along with other financial institutions, management remains watchful of
credit quality issues and believes that current issues within the portfolio are
reflective of a challenging economic environment and mirror problems faced by
peers throughout the financial community. Should the economic climate continue
to deteriorate, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of
nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require
further increases in the provision. Management continues to monitor the loan
portfolio to limit credit exposure.

2001 compared to 2000. The 2001 provision for loan losses charged to
operating expense totaled $4,161, a decrease of $697 in comparison to the $4,858
recorded during the same period a year ago. The provision for loan losses
increased the allowance for loan losses in response to the gradual deterioration
of various seasoned loans, nonperforming loans, net charge-offs and
delinquencies, coupled with concerns over the economy's deteriorating economic
impact, particularly in light of the unprecedented events on and subsequent to
September 11.

Net charge-offs in 2001 were $4,280 compared with $2,135 in 2000.
Annualized net charge-offs increased to 0.85% of average loans for 2001 compared
to 0.44% in the same period in 2000. The increase in net charge-offs was largely
the result of several credits which were identified in 2000 as requiring the
status of watch list and specific allocation. During 2001, these credits
continued to deteriorate and management identified the credits as non-bankable
assets, which were charged off.

Noninterest Income. The following table shows the Company's noninterest
income:

NONINTEREST INCOME
(Dollars in Thousands)

Years Ended December 31,
----------------------------------
2002 2001 2000
--------- --------- ---------

Service charges $ 2,812 $ 2,748 $ 2,683
Merchant fee income 1,185 1,095 1,110
Trust income 775 687 744
Mortgage banking income 2,843 2,096 1,278

Securities gains (losses), net 407 798 (29)
Other income 2,245 2,089 2,492
--------- --------- ---------

Total noninterest income $ 12,455 $ 11,920 $ 11,140
========= ========= =========

Noninterest income consists of a wide variety of fee-based revenues
viewed as traditional banking services as well as revenues generated by the
Company's insurance, brokerage, trust, asset management and data processing
product lines.

2002 compared to 2001. Noninterest income totaled $12,455 for the year
ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $11,920 for the same timeframe in 2001.
This represented an increase of $535 or 4.5%. Exclusive of net securities gains
of $407 in 2002 and $798 in 2001, core noninterest income shows a year-over-year
increase of $926 or 8.3%. As a percentage of total income (net interest income
plus noninterest income), core noninterest income, exclusive of securities
gains, increased to 31.9% versus 31.0% for 2001.

A majority of the increase in core noninterest income was related to a
$747 improvement in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income includes
fees generated from net servicing (after amortization of mortgage servicing
rights) and the gains realized from the sale of loans. The Company's mortgage
loan production increased 11% to a level of $183,481 as declining interest rates
resulted in increases in the rate of mortgage refinancing and residential real
estate activity. Offsetting the improvement in mortgage loan production, and
subsequent gains on the sale of these loans, was a decrease in net servicing due
to increasing pre-payment speeds driven by the declining interest rate
environment.

Also contributing to the improvement were marginal increases in fees
associated with overdraft fees reflecting an increase in returned check charges
related to a higher occurrence rate, prestige card transaction fees related to
higher transaction volume pushing interchange fees higher, and revenue generated
from investments in bank-owned life insurance.

These improvements were offset by lower than anticipated insurance,
asset management and brokerage fees (included in insurance commissions and
fees). Insurance fees declined largely due to the hardening of the overall
insurance market, which has resulted in clients shopping business to other
vendors. Asset management and brokerage fees generally follow the amount of
total assets under management and conditions in the equity and credit markets.
The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight
year-over-year changes.

2001 compared to 2000. Noninterest income totaled $11,920 for the year
ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $11,140 for the same timeframe in 2000.
This represented an increase of $780 or 7.0%. Several factors impacted the
year-over-year change. First, as interest rates declined during 2001, the market
value of some securities increased, and the Company took the opportunity to
liquidate those securities and either replace them with similar securities or
fund loan growth. Securities available-for-sale are held in a manner which
allows for their sale in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs,
balance sheet risk objectives or significant prepayment risk. The second factor
was, during 2000, the Company completed the sale of its UnionBank/West Camp
Point branch and the sale of its intellectual property rights for the
InternetStation product.

Exclusive of $798 in net securities gain from 2001, and the $753 in the
gross gains on sale of UnionBank/West's Camp Point branch and the
InternetStation intellectual property during 2000, core noninterest income
increased year-over-year by $735 or 7.1%. As a percentage of total income (net
interest income plus noninterest income), core noninterest income, exclusive of
securities gains, gain on sale of the Camp Point branch and InternetStation
intellectual property, increased to 31.3% versus 30.6% for 2000.

A majority of the increase in core noninterest income was related to an
$818 improvement in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income includes
fees generated from servicing and the gains realized from the sale of these
loans. The Company's mortgage loan production more than doubled to $165,515
during 2001, compared to 2000, as declining interest rates resulted in increases
in the rate of mortgage refinancing and residential real estate activity. Net
mortgage servicing rights decreased due to increasing pre-payment speeds driven
by declining interest rates. Also contributing to the improvement were marginal
increases in fees associated with overdraft fees reflecting an increase in
returned check charges related to a higher occurrence rate, prestige card
transaction fees related to higher transaction volume pushing interchange fees
higher, and internet service provider (ISP) due to an increase in the number of
customers.

These improvements were offset by lower than anticipated trust, asset
management, and brokerage fees (included in insurance commissions and fees).
Trust, asset management, and brokerage fees generally follow the amount of total
assets under management, as well as conditions in the equity and credit markets,
as such fees on certain accounts are based on market value. The decrease in fees
during the year was due, in part, to the overall condition of equity and credit
markets since the beginning of the year, as well as to a slight decline in sales
related to certain customers' reluctance to commit new funds and shift existing
assets.

Noninterest Expense. The following table shows the Company's noninterest
expense:

Amortization of intangible assets 245 945 1,310
Other expense 7,291 6,641 6,113
--------- --------- ---------

Total noninterest expense $ 29,026 $ 26,212 $ 25,885
========= ========= =========

2002 compared to 2001. Noninterest expense totaled $29,026 for the year
ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $26,212 for the same timeframe in 2001.
This represented an increase of $2,814 or 10.7%.

A majority of the increase in noninterest expense was attributable to a
$1,584 rise in salaries and benefits, as we invested in our own future through
the recruitment and retention of high-quality, seasoned industry professionals
to fill existing vacancies and increased the Company's annual contribution to
employee's 401k plan. In addition, a higher concentration of salary expenditures
is also currently being realized by our mortgage banking division and financial
services division. These divisions, with lower gross profit margins,
historically produce significant noninterest income, but also incur considerable
noninterest expense. Also contributing to the increase were $757 in costs
associated with OREO assets, as the Company recorded a valuation allowance on
one property, in addition to other losses on sale and general operating expenses
incurred on OREO.

Other reasons for the increase in other expenses were due to the
write-down of other assets and fees related to the work-out and collection of
nonperforming loans. Additionally, furniture and equipment expense and telephone
expense increased due to investments in technology which were incurred to
improve the Company's network infrastructure.

These increases were partially offset by decreases in supplies and
printing and amortization of intangible assets due to the adoption of SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of
Certain Financial Institutions." The adoption of these accounting standards
allowed the Company to cease the amortization of goodwill related to its
acquisitions. The effect of this adoption increased earnings by $690 for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2002.

2001 compared to 2000. Noninterest expense totaled $26,212 for the year
ended December 31, 2002, as compared to $25,885 for the same timeframe in 2000.
This represented an increase of $327 or 1.3%. As previously mentioned, during
2000, the Company engaged in a number of strategic initiatives that had an
effect on noninterest expense levels. These items included $814 in executive
severance package and related expenses, $150 in the elimination of executive
corporate vehicles and other one time expenses, $135 related to expenses
associated with the sale of the intellectual property rights for its

22.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

InternetStation product, and $232 in impairment of intangible assets. Exclusive
of these items, core noninterest expense shows a year-over-year increase of
$1,658 or 6.8% over 2000 levels.

A majority of the core change in expense for the year was reflective of
the salaries and employee benefits (exclusive of the year 2000 severance
expense) which increased $1,046 or 8.3% over the same timeframe in 2000. This
was due to regular merit increases, basic incentive compensation primarily
related to increased real estate production, new additions incurred to support
the growing levels of business activities, and an increase in the Company's
contributions to employee ESOP benefits.

Also contributing were increases in the other expense category largely
related to other real estate expense, debit card expense due to higher volume,
real estate appraisals due to growth in the volume of production, postage due to
the adoption of Regulation P, and legal fees largely related to nonperforming
loans and the internal reorganizations completed during the year. These
increases were offset by decreases in furniture and equipment expenses
reflecting lower depreciation of personal computer and peripheral equipment, and
marketing due to a shift in marketing strategy and the scaling back of certain
advertising programs. The combined categories of occupancy expense, supplies and
printing, and telephone remained relatively stable with only slight
year-over-year changes.

Applicable Income Taxes. The following table shows the Company's income
before income taxes, as well as applicable income taxes and the effective tax
rate for each of the past three years.

Years Ended December 31,
2002 2001 2000
--------- --------- ---------
Income before income taxes $ 5,178 $ 5,991 $ 3,920
Applicable income taxes 1,134 1,537 1,017
Effective tax rates 21.9% 25.7% 25.9%

Income tax expense for the periods included benefits for tax-exempt
income, tax-advantaged investments and general business tax credits offset by
the effect of nondeductible expenses. The Company's effective tax rate was lower
than statutory rates due to several factors. First, the Company derives interest
income from municipal securities and loans, which are exempt from federal tax
and certain U.S. government agency securities, which are exempt from Illinois
state tax. Second, the level of tax-exempt income has increased as a percentage
of taxable income. And, finally, the Company has reduced tax expense through
various tax planning initiatives.

Preferred Stock Dividends. The Company paid $257 of preferred stock
dividends in 2002 and 2001 and $259 in 2000.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet
consist of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans and
securities), which are primarily funded by interest-bearing liabilities
(deposits and borrowings). All of the financial instruments of the Company are
for other than trading purposes. Such financial instruments have varying levels
of sensitivity to changes in market rates of interest. The operating income and
net income of the Banks depend, substantially, on "rate differentials," i.e.,
the differences between the income the Banks receive from loans, securities, and
other earning assets and the interest expense they pay to obtain deposits and
other liabilities. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are
beyond the control of the Banks, including general economic conditions and the
policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities.

The Company measures its overall interest rate sensitivity through a net
interest income analysis. The net interest income analysis measures the change
in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates.
This analysis assesses the risk of changes in net interest income in the event
of a sudden and sustained 100 to 200 basis point increase or decrease in market
interest rates. The assumption in this table is that assets will reprice faster
than liabilities, due to market constraints and management's structuring of
their assets and liabilities. The interest rate scenarios are used for
analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent management's view of future
market movements. The tables below present the Company's projected changes in
net interest income for 2002 and 2001 for the various rate shock levels.

December 31, 2002 Net Interest Income
- ----------------- ---------------------------------------------------
Amount Change Change

Base 25,324 - -
-100 bp 24,587 (737) (2.91)
-200 bp 23,796 (1,528) (6.03)

Based on the Company's model at December 31, 2002, the effect of an
immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the
Company's net interest income by 3.25% or approximately $822. The effect of an
immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates would reduce the Company's net
interest income by 6.03% or approximately $1,528.

-100 bp 26,900 (383) (1.40)
-200 bp 26,095 (1,188) (4.35)

Based on the Company's model at December 31, 2001 the effect of an
immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the
Company's net interest income by 3.12% approximately $851. The effect of an
immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates would reduce the Company's net
interest income by 4.35% or approximately $1,188.

Financial Condition

General. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had total assets of
$791,616, gross loans of $483,229, total deposits of $641,958, and total
stockholders' equity of $68,064. Total assets increased by $43,309 or 5.8% from
year-end 2001. Total gross loans decreased $21,739 or 4.3% from year-end 2001
and reflected tighter underwriting standards, an overall softening of loan
demand, and normal paydowns. In contrast, total deposits increased by $29,814 or
4.9% from year-end 2001, largely related to growth in lower costing
interest-bearing deposits (Now, IMMIA and Savings) and noninterest-bearing
deposits.

Nonperforming Assets. The Company's financial statements are prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income on
its loan portfolio, unless a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans are
placed on nonaccrual status when there are serious doubts regarding the
collectibility of all principal and interest due under the terms of the loans.
Amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied first to principal
and then to interest after all principal has been collected. It is the policy of
the Company not to renegotiate the terms of a loan because of a delinquent
status. Rather, a loan is generally transferred to nonaccrual status if it is
not in the process of collection and is delinquent in payment of either
principal or interest beyond 90 days. Loans which are 90 days delinquent but are
well secured and in the process of collection are not included in nonperforming
assets. Other nonperforming assets consist of real estate acquired through loan
foreclosures or other workout situations and other assets acquired through
repossessions.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily indicate
that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in part. The Banks make a
determination as to collectibility on a case-by-case basis. The Banks consider
both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the borrower in
determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans. The final
determination as to the steps taken is made based upon the specific facts of
each situation. Alternatives that are typically considered to collect nonaccrual
loans are foreclosure, collection under guarantees, loan restructuring, or
judicial collection actions.

Each of the Company's loans is assigned a rating based upon an
internally developed grading system. A separate credit administration department
also reviews grade assignments on an ongoing basis. Management continuously
monitors nonperforming, impaired, and past due loans to prevent further
deterioration of these loans. Management is not aware of any material loans
classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special
mention that have been excluded from classification under nonperforming assets
or impaired loans. The Company has an independent loan review function which is
separate from the lending function and is responsible for the review of new and
existing loans.

Due largely to tighter underwriting standards and an overall heightened
commitment to asset quality, the level of nonperforming loans at December 31,
2002 decreased to $4,760 versus the $8,875 that existed as of December 31, 2001.
The year-over-year decrease in nonperforming loans was due to various actions
taken during the year to proactively address these problem loans. Additionally,
the Company experienced a substantial improvement in the level of nonperforming
loans to total loans, which totaled 0.99% as of December 31, 2002 compared to
1.76% at December 31, 2001. The reserve coverage ratio (allowance to
nonperforming loans) also improved significantly to 135.5%, as of December 31,
2002, from the lower ratio of 70.93% at December 31, 2001.

loans, but believes that a higher level of scrutiny and close monitoring is
prudent under the circumstances. Such classifications relate to specific
concerns for each individual borrower and do not relate to any concentration

Allowance for Loan Losses. In originating loans, the Company recognizes
that credit losses will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with,
among other things, general economic conditions; the type of loan being made;
the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan; and, in the case
of a collateralized loan, the quality of the collateral for such a loan. The
allowance for loan losses represents the Company's estimate of the allowance
necessary to provide for probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. In
making this determination, the Company analyzes the ultimate collectibility of
the loans in its portfolio, incorporating feedback provided by internal loan
staff, the independent loan review function, and information provided by
examinations performed by regulatory agencies. The Company makes an ongoing
evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

On a quarterly basis, management of each of the subsidiary banks meets
to review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Commercial credits are
graded by the loan officers and the Loan Review function validates the officers'
grades. In the event that the Loan Review function downgrades the loan, it is
included in the allowance analysis at the lower grade. The grading system is in
compliance with the regulatory classifications and the allowance is allocated to
the loans based on the regulatory grading, except in instances where there are
known differences (i.e., collateral value is nominal, etc.). To establish the
appropriate level of the allowance, a sample of loans (including impaired and
nonperforming loans) are reviewed and classified as to potential loss exposure.

The analysis of the allowance for loan losses is comprised of three
components: specific credit allocation, general portfolio allocation, and
subjective determined allocation. The specific allocation includes a detailed
review of the credit in accordance with SFAS 114 and 118 and an allocation is
made based on this analysis. The general portfolio allocation consists of an
assigned reserve percentage based on loans by major category. The subjective
portion is determined based on the past five years of loan history and the
Company's evaluation of qualitative factors including economic and industry
conditions. In addition, the subjective portion of the allowance is influenced
by current economic conditions and trends in the portfolio, including
delinquencies and impairments, as well as changes in the composition of the
portfolio. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are
reviewed to determine whether credit risk exists.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses
will vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed monthly, and as
adjustments, either positive or negative, become necessary, a corresponding
increase or decrease is made in the provision for loan losses. The composition

28.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of the loan portfolio did not significantly change in 2002. The methodology used
to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistent with
prior years, and there were no reallocations.

Along with other financial institutions, management remains watchful of
credit quality issues and believes that current issues within the portfolio are
reflective of a challenging economic environment and mirror problems faced by
many of its peers throughout the financial community. Should the economic
climate continue to deteriorate, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the
level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise and
require further increases in the provision. Management continues to monitor the
loan portfolio and take appropriate action to proactively limit credit exposure.

At December 31, 2002, the allowance for loan losses was $6,450 or 1.33%
of total loans as compared to $6,295 or 1.25% at December 31, 2001. Several
factors impacted the year-over-year change. In the fourth quarter of 2001, the
Company increased the allowance by $2,890, and, in the second quarter of 2002,
the Company increased the allowance by $1,652. These increases were due to the
deterioration in overall credit quality and the impact of various identified
seasoned credits. These increases were offset by net charge-offs, largely the
result of several credits which were identified in previous quarters as
requiring the status of watch list with specific allocations. These problem
credits continued to deteriorate and were identified by management as
non-bankable assets, and, subsequently, charged off.

Securities Activities. The Company's securities portfolio, which
represented 28.8% of the Company's average earning asset base as of December 31,
2002, is managed to minimize interest rate risk, maintain sufficient liquidity,
and maximize return. The portfolio includes several callable agency debentures,
fixed and adjustable rate mortgage pass-throughs, preferred trust securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations with stated or implied calls. Corporate
bonds consist of investment grade obligations of public corporations. Other
securities consist of Federal Reserve stock, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, and
SBA pooled securities. The Company's financial planning anticipates income
streams generated by the securities portfolio based on normal maturity or
projected prepayment and reinvestment. Securities classified as
available-for-sale, carried at fair value, were $227,229 at December 31, 2002
compared to $186,282 at December 31, 2001. The Company does not have any
securities classified as trading or held-to-maturity.

The consolidated securities portfolio includes several callable agency
debentures, adjustable rate mortgage pass-throughs, and collateralized mortgage
obligations with implied calls. The exposure of capital to market valuation
adjustments existing at the time of the Prairie acquisition has been reduced by
the reduction in relative size of the portfolio, the shortening of the average
life of the securities by the passage of time and the sale of floating rate
securities with lower lifetime caps or reset limits or had interest rate
exposure not consistent with offsetting exposure of funding sources. In
addition, some of the callable securities that have been purchased have shorter
final maturities, which also reduces the sensitivity of the Economic Value of
Equity (EVE) to changes in the level of interest rates.

accounts, regular savings accounts, term certificate accounts (including "jumbo"
certificates in denominations of $100,000 or more), and retirement savings
plans. The Company's average balance of total deposits was $621,108 for 2002,

The increase in the return on average assets and return on average

analysis above.

Liquidity. The Company manages its liquidity position with the objective
of maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and
borrowers and to take advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities. In
addition to the normal inflow of funds from core-deposit growth together with
repayments and maturities of loans and investments, the Company utilizes other
short-term funding sources such as brokered time deposits, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, overnight federal funds purchased from correspondent
banks and the acceptance of short-term deposits from public entities, and
Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

The Company monitors and manages its liquidity position on several
bases, which vary depending upon the time period. As the time period is
expanded, other data is factored in, including estimated loan funding
requirements, estimated loan payoffs, investment portfolio maturities or calls,
and anticipated depository buildups or runoffs.

The Company classifies all of its securities as available-for-sale,
thereby maintaining significant liquidity. The Company's liquidity position is
further enhanced by structuring its loan portfolio interest payments as monthly
and by the significant representation of retail credit and residential mortgage
loans in the Company's loan portfolio, resulting in a steady stream of loan
repayments. In managing its investment portfolio, the Company provides for
staggered maturities so that cash flows are provided as such investments mature.

The Company's cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash
flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash
flows from financing activities. Cash flows provided by operating and investing
activities, offset by those used in financing activities, resulted in a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of $12,263 from December 31, 2001 to
December 31, 2002.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
(In Thousands, Except Share Data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Banks' securities portfolios, federal funds sold, and cash and due
from bank deposit balances serve as the primary sources of liquidity for the
Company. At December 31, 2002, 27.6% of the Banks' interest-bearing liabilities
were in the form of time deposits of $100,000 and over. Management believes
these deposits to be a stable source of funds. However, if a large number of
these time deposits matured at approximately the same time and were not renewed,
the Banks' liquidity could be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities of
the Banks' large time deposits are spread throughout the year, with 28.4%
maturing in the first quarter of 2003, 24.1% maturing in the second quarter of
2003, 18.0% maturing in the third and fourth quarters of 2003, and the remaining
29.5% maturing thereafter. The Banks monitor those maturities in an effort to
minimize any adverse effect on liquidity.

The Company's borrowings included notes payable at December 31, 2002 in
the principal amount of $8,275 payable to the Company's principal correspondent
bank. The note is renewable annually, requires quarterly interest payments, and
is collateralized by the Company's stock in the Banks.

The Company's principal source of funds for repayment of the
indebtedness is dividends from the Banks. At December 31, 2002, approximately
$7,200 was available for dividends without regulatory approval.

Capital Resources

The Banks are expected to meet a minimum risk-based capital to
risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%, of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in
the form of Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%) may be in the
form of Tier 1 (core) or Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. The amount of loan loss
allowance that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted
assets. The ratio of Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and
Tier 2 (supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for the Company is 10.54%
and 11.84%, respectively, at December 31, 2002. The Banks are currently, and
expect to continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") has announced
a policy known as the "source of strength doctrine" that requires a bank holding
company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength for its
subsidiary banks. The FRB has interpreted this requirement to require that a
bank holding company, such as the Company, stand ready to use available

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during
periods of financial stress or adversity. The FRB has stated that it would
generally view a failure to assist a troubled or failing subsidiary bank in
these circumstances as an unsound or unsafe banking practice or a violation of
the FRB's Regulation Y or both, justifying a cease and desist order or other
enforcement action, particularly if appropriate resources are available to the
bank holding company on a reasonable basis.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's capital
ratios:

As of December 31, 2002, the Tier 2 risk-based capital was comprised of
$6,450 in allowance for loan losses and $831 of Mandatory Redeemable Series B
Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock,
subject to certain adjustments intended to offset the amount of losses incurred
by the Company upon the post-closing sale of certain securities acquired in
conjunction with the 1996 acquisition of Prairie.

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Monetary Policies. The
financial statements and related financial data concerning the Company have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation. The primary effect of inflation on the
operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most
industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial
institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have
a more significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than do
the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices.
Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same
magnitude as the prices of goods and services. Interest rates are highly
sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Company, including
the influence of domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and
fiscal policies of the United States government and federal agencies,
particularly the FRB.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
UnionBancorp, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of UnionBancorp,
Inc. as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UnionBancorp, Inc.
and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

As disclosed in Note 1, during 2002, the Company adopted new accounting guidance
for goodwill and intangible assets.

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

UnionBancorp, Inc. ("the Company") is a bank holding company organized under the
laws of the state of Delaware. The Company provides a full range of banking
services to individual and corporate customers located in the north central and
west central areas of Illinois. These services include demand, time, and savings
deposits; lending; mortgage banking; insurance products; brokerage services; and
trust services. The Company is subject to competition from other financial
institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial services.
Additionally, the Company and its bank subsidiaries ("the Banks") are subject to
regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by
those regulatory agencies.

Basis of presentation
- ---------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries UnionBank, UnionBank/West, UnionBank/Central, and
UnionBank/Northwest. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
with general practice in the banking industry. In preparing the financial
statements, management makes 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 expenses during the reporting period. The allowance for loan losses,
value of mortgage servicing rights, and fair values of financial instruments are
particularly subject to change.

Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity, other than trust cash on deposit
with the Banks, are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Cash flows
- ----------

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial
institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Loan disbursements and
collections, repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, and transactions in
deposit accounts are reported, net.

Securities
- ----------

Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities that the
Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to
maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would
be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates,
changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity
needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities
available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses,
net of the related deferred income tax effect, reported in other comprehensive
income. Securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank
stock are carried at cost.

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (Continued)

Interest income is reported net of amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts. Gains or losses from the sale of securities are determined using the
specific identification method.

Derivatives

All derivative instruments are recorded at their fair values. If derivative
instruments are designated as hedges of fair values, both the change in the fair
value of the hedge and the hedged item are included in current earnings. Fair
value adjustments related to cash flow hedges are recorded in other
comprehensive income and reclassified to earnings when the hedge transaction is
reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of hedges are reflected in earnings
as they occur. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had no material
derivative instruments.

Loans
- -----

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance
outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an
allowance for loan losses. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost
or market, on an aggregate basis.

Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of
net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Interest income on mortgage
and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent
unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans
are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans
are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of
principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed
against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the
cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.
Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts
contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably
assured.

Allowance for loan losses
- -------------------------

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred
credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by
charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required
using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio,
information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values,
economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made
for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in
management's judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against
the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is
confirmed.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected.
Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature
such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans and on an
individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the
allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value
of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair
value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (Continued)

Mortgage servicing rights
- -------------------------

Servicing assets represent purchased rights and the allocated value of retained
servicing rights on loans sold. Servicing assets are expensed in proportion to,
and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is
evaluated based on the fair value of the assets, using groupings of the
underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as to geographic
and prepayment characteristics. Fair value is determined using prices for
similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon
discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a
grouping is reported as a valuation allowance.

Foreclosed assets
- -----------------

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at
fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines,
a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. At December 31, 2002 there is
a $325,000 valuation allowance against foreclosed assets. Costs after
acquisition are expensed.

Premises and equipment
- ----------------------

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Provisions for depreciation and
amortization, included in operating expenses, are computed on the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of maintenance
and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant improvements are
capitalized.

Company-owned life insurance
- ----------------------------

The Company has invested in bank-owned life insurance policies, for which the
Company is also the beneficiary, on certain members of management. Company-owned
life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value or the amount that can be
realized. These policies have an aggregate face value of approximately $34.5
million and $3.7 million with an approximate cash surrender value of $13.8
million and $2.2 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.


Goodwill and other intangible assets
- ------------------------------------

Goodwill results from prior business acquisitions and represents the excess of
the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and
liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Upon adopting new accounting
guidance on January 1, 2002 and October 1, 2002, the Company ceased amortizing
goodwill. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such
impairment will be recognized in the period identified. The effect on net income
of ceasing goodwill amortization in 2002 was $690,000.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer
relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank, branch, and insurance
company acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are
amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which is
10 years.

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (Continued)

Long-term assets
- ----------------

Premises and equipment, core deposit, and other intangible assets, and other
long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying
amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired,
the assets are recorded at fair value.

Repurchase agreements
- ---------------------

Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by
various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are
not covered by federal deposit insurance.

Income taxes
- ------------

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences
between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets
and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes
ultimately payable or recoverable based on enacted tax laws. Changes in enacted
tax rates and laws are reflected in the financial statements in the periods they
occur.

Earnings per share
- ------------------

Basic earnings per share is based on weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of any dilutive potential common
shares under stock options and Series A converted preferred shares using the
treasury stock method.

Financial instruments
- ---------------------

Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as
commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer
financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss
before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial
instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Stock compensation
- ------------------

Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the
intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net
income, as all options granted had an exercise plan equal to or greater than the
market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following
table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was
measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

from day to day, thereafter, whether or not earned or declared. Each
original holder of Series B Preferred Stock (or upon such holder's deaths,
their respective executors or personal representatives) will have the
option, exercisable at their sole discretion, to sell, and the Company
will be obligated to redeem such holder's shares of Series B Preferred
Stock upon the earlier to occur of the death of the respective original
holder of Series B Preferred Stock or ten years after the original
issuance date of the Series B Preferred Stock. The per share price payable
by the Company for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be equal
to $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. On
dissolution, wind up, or liquidation of the Company, voluntary or
otherwise, holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to
receive, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to
stockholders, the amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid
dividends, before any payment or distribution may be made on shares of
common stock or any other securities issued by the Company that rank
junior to the Series B Preferred Stock.

Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock: The Company has authorized
4,500 shares of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock. There were
no shares issued at December 31, 2002 and 2001. The Series C Preferred
Stock is only issuable upon exercise of rights issued pursuant to the
Company's Stockholder Rights Plan. Each share of Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock is entitled to, when, as, and if declared, a
minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of $3.00 per share but
will be entitled to an aggregate dividend of 1,000 times the dividend
declared per share of common stock. In the event of liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential payment of
$1,000 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends) but will be
entitled to an aggregate payment of 1,000 times the payment made per share
of common stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will have 1,000
votes, voting together with the common stock. Finally, in the event of any
merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which outstanding shares of
common stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Series C Preferred
Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per
share of common stock. These rights are protected by customary
antidilution provisions.

Stockholder rights plan
- -----------------------

On July 17, 1996, the Company declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock. Each
Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one
one-thousandth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no
par value, of the Company at a price of $50.00 per one one-thousandth of a share
of preferred stock ("the Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment.

The Rights are not exercisable until the earlier to occur of: (i) 10 days after
a person or group ("Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial ownership of 15%
or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or (ii) 10 business days (or
such later date as determined by the Board of Directors) following the
commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer ("the Distribution Date").
Unless extended, the Rights will expire on August 4, 2006. At any time prior to
the time an Acquiring Person becomes such, the Board of Directors of the Company
may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right.

Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies (Continued)

Dividend restriction
- --------------------

Banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital levels and may
limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the subsidiary banks to the
holding company or by the holding company to stockholders.

Loss contingencies
- ------------------

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is
probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management
does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on
the financial statements.

Comprehensive income
- --------------------

Comprehensive income includes both net income and other comprehensive income
elements, including the change in unrealized gains and losses on securities
available-for-sale, net of tax.

Newly issued but not yet effective accounting standards
- -------------------------------------------------------

New accounting standards on asset retirement obligations, restructuring
activities and exit costs, operating leases, and early extinguishment of debt
were issued in 2002. Management determined that when the new accounting
standards are adopted in 2003, they will not have a material impact on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Reclassifications
- -----------------

Certain items in the financial statements as of and for the years ended December
31, 2001 and 2000 have been reclassified, with no effect on net income, to
conform with the current year presentation.


Note 2. Business Acquisitions and Divestitures

On August 24, 2000, the Company sold the deposits and premises of a
UnionBank/West branch location. At the date of sale, the branch had
approximately $2,659 in deposits and $162 in fixed assets. The sale price was
$600.

Note 12. Benefit Plans

The Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("the Plan") covers all full-time
employees who have completed six months of service and have attained the minimum
age of twenty and one-half years. Vesting in the Plan is based on years of
continuous service. A participant is fully vested after seven years of credited
service. The Plan owns 485,055 shares of the Company's common stock. All shares
held by the Plan are allocated to plan participants. The Company expenses all
cash contributions made to the Plan. Contributions were $385, $335, and $280 for
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

Note 12. Benefit Plans (Continued)

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company established a 401(k) salary reduction
plan ["the 401(k) plan"] covering substantially all employees. Eligible
employees may elect to make tax deferred contributions within a specified range
of their compensation as defined in the 401(k) plan. The Company contributes at
its discretion. Contributions to the 401(k) plan are expensed currently and
approximated $301, $149, and $132 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001,
and 2000, respectively.


Note 13. Stock Option Plans

In April 1993, the Company adopted the UnionBancorp 1993 Stock Option Plan ("the
1993 Option Plan"). Under the 1993 Option Plan, nonqualified options, incentive
stock options, and/or stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees and
outside directors of the Company and its subsidiaries to purchase the Company's
common stock at an exercise price to be determined by the 1993 Option Plan's
administrative committee. Pursuant to the 1993 Option Plan, 600,000 shares of
the Company's unissued common stock have been reserved and are available for
issuance upon the exercise of options and rights granted under the 1993 Option
Plan. The options have an exercise period of ten years from the date of grant.

In 1999, the Company adopted the UnionBancorp, Inc. nonqualified Stock Option
Plan ("the 1999 Option Plan"). Under the 1999 Option Plan, nonqualified options
may be granted to employees and eligible directors of the Company and its
subsidiaries to purchase the Company's common stock at 100% of the fair market
value on the date the option is granted. The Company has authorized 50,000
shares for issuance under the 1999 Option Plan. During 1999, 40,750 of these
shares were granted and are exercisable in three years. The options have an
exercise period of ten years from the date of grant.

A summary of the status of the option plans as of December 31, 2002, 2001, and
2000 and changes during the years ended on those dates is presented below.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for earnings per common
share computations for the years ended December 31 is presented below (shares in

presented and has not been included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation. In addition, options to purchase 149,926 shares of common stock
were outstanding at December 31, 2002 but were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price was greater than the
average market price and, therefore, were antidilutive.

Note 15. Regulatory Matters

The Company and the Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the
Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices.

In December of 2002, the Company filed the required application with the
appropriate regulatory agency for approval to merge UnionBank and
UnionBank/Central. The Company believes that the application will be approved,
and the merger of the two banks is scheduled for March 31, 2003.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of
total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to
average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2002, that the Company
and the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the corresponding
regulatory agency categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized,
the Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I
leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed the Banks'
categories.

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as
follows:

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and due from banks,
federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued
interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable
rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values
are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if no such information is
available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the
issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits
with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, the fair value is based on
discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life
and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted
cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. The fair value of loans held
for sale is based on market quotes. The fair value of debt is based on current
rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based
on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate
such arrangements.

In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Company that are not defined as

above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings
power of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential of loan servicing rights,
the earnings potential of the trust operations, the trained work force, customer
goodwill, and similar items.


Note 17. Commitments, Contingencies, and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, there are various contingent liabilities
outstanding, such as claims and legal actions, which are not reflected in the
consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, no material
losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claims.

The Banks are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement
in particular classes of financial instruments.

Note 17. Commitments, Contingencies, and Credit Risk (Continued)

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit written is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial
instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk are as follows:



Standby Range of Rates
Letters Variable Rate Fixed Rate Total on Fixed Rate
of Credit Commitments Commitments Commitments Commitments
--------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -----------

Commitments to extend
credit and standby
letters of credit
December 31, 2002 $ 1,421 $ 56,959 $ 46,180 $ 103,139 4.50% - 9.00%
December 31, 2001 $ 2,858 $ 55,807 $ 35,790 $ 91,597 5.50% - 7.99%


Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. For commitments to extend credit, the Banks
evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.
Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable; inventory;
property, plant, and equipment; and income producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk
involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan commitments to customers. The standby letters of
credit are unsecured.

The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers and certain
other management personnel. These agreements generally continue until terminated
by the executive or the Company and provide for continued salary and benefits to
the executive under certain circumstances. The agreements provide the employees
with additional rights after a change of control of the Company occurs.
