                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)  Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Illinois
     Community Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
     All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
     in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are
     unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
     statements and notes thereto included in the Illinois Guarantee Savings
     Bank, FSB (the Savings Bank)'s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year
     ended June 30, 1996. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
     statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form
     10-QSB and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary
     for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations,
     and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
     In the opinion of management of the Company the unaudited consolidated
     financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
     recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
     the Company at December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and
     cash flows for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1996 and
     1995.

     Information for the year ended June 30, 1996 and prior periods is for the
     Savings Bank. Information for the six months ended December 31, 1996 is for
     the Company and its subsidiaries. Operating results for the six months
     ended December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
     may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1997.

(2)  Stock Conversion
     ----------------

     On September 28, 1995, the Savings Bank converted from a federally
     chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered capital stock
     savings bank through the sale and issuance of 502,550 shares of $1 par
     value common stock at a price of $10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds
     of $5,025,500. After reducing gross proceeds for conversion costs of
     $462,500, net proceeds totaled $4,563,000.

     In conjunction with the conversion, an employee stock ownership plan
     established by the Savings Bank borrowed $402,040 from a third party to
     purchase 40,204 shares of common stock issued by the Savings Bank. As of
     September 30, 1996, the outstanding loan balance is recorded as a liability
     and, a corresponding amount is reflected as a reduction to stockholders'
     equity.

(3)  Bank Holding Company
     --------------------

     On July 23, 1996, the shareholders' of Illinois Guarantee Savings Bank
     approved the formation of a single bank holding company, Illinois Community
     Bancorp, Inc. The reorganization was consummated on September 27, 1996. The
     Company formed two subsidiary corporations to conduct business as a leasing
     corporation and a financial services corporation. The Company anticipates
     that these corporations will not have a material effect on the consolidated
     operations of the Company during the 1997 fiscal year.

(4)  Earnings Per Share
     ------------------

     The 502,550 shares of common stock were issued on September 28, 1995;
     accordingly, earnings per share for the periods prior to September 30, 1995
     are not applicable.

     Only ESOP shares that are committed to be released are considered
     outstanding for earnings per share calculations. Earnings per share have
     been calculated based on 467,974 shares for the three months ended December
     31, 1996 and $467,472 for the six months ended December 31, 1996.

(5)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
     -----------------------------

     In connection with the conversion to the stock form of ownership, the Board
     of Directors established an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for the
     exclusive benefit of participating employees. Employees age 21 or older who
     have completed one year of service are eligible to participate. Upon the
     issuance of the common stock, the ESOP acquired $40,204 shares of $0.01 par
     value common stock at the subscription price of $10.00 per share. The
     Savings Bank makes contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt
     service less dividends received by the ESOP. All dividends received by the
     ESOP are used to pay debt service. The ESOP shares initially were pledged
     as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from
     collateral and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of
     debt service paid in the year. The Savings Bank accounts for its ESOP in
     accordance with Statement of Position 93-6. Accordingly, the debt of the
     ESOP is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as collateral are reported
     as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated balance sheets. As shares are
     released from collateral, the Savings Bank reports compensation expense
     equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become
     outstanding for earnings-per-share calculations. Dividends on allocated
     shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on
     unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt or accrued
     interest. ESOP compensation expense was $20,000 and $10,000 for the six
     months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

(5)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan, Concluded
     ----------------------------------------

     The ESOP shares at September 30, 1996 were as follows:

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

     The Savings Bank completed their new branch facility in January of 1997.
     Projections of total costs for this facility and related equipment amounts
     to $1.8 million, with $1.6 million of this cost incurred as of December 31,
     1996.

  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
                                  Operations

GENERAL

The principal business of the Company is the business of the Savings Bank.
  Therefore, substantially all of the discussion in the Form 10-QSB relates to
  the operations of the Savings Bank. The principal business of the Savings Bank
  consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds
  to originate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences located
  primarily in Effingham, Illinois and surrounding areas. The Savings Bank
  engages in various forms of consumer and commercial lending and invests in
  mortgage-backed U.S. Government and federal agency securities, local municipal
  issues, and interest-bearing deposits. The Savings Bank's profitability
  depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between
  the interest income it earns on its loans, mortgage-backed and investment
  portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists mainly of interest paid on
  deposits. Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-
  earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned
  or paid on these balances.

The Savings Bank's profitability is also affected by the level of noninterest
  income and expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of late charges and
  other fees. Noninterest expense consists of salaries and benefits, occupancy
  related expenses, deposit insurance premiums paid to the SAIF, and other
  operating expenses.

The operations of the Savings Bank, and savings associations in general, are
  significantly influenced by general economic conditions and related monetary
  and fiscal policies of financial institutions' regulatory agencies. Deposit
  flows and the cost of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing
  investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are
  affected by the demand for financing real estate and other types of loans,
  which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be
  offered and other factors affecting loan demand and the availability of funds.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

The business strategy is to operate as a well capitalized, profitable and
  independent community savings bank dedicated to financing home ownership and
  consumer needs in its primary market area of Effingham County, Illinois
  ("Primary Market Area"). The Savings Bank has implemented this strategy by:
  (1) closely monitoring the needs of customers and providing quality service;
  (2) emphasizing consumer-oriented banking by originating construction and
  permanent loans on residential and commercial real estate and consumer loans,
  and by offering other financial services and products; (3) improving and
  maintaining high asset quality; (4) maintaining capital in excess of
  regulatory requirements; and (5) managing interest rate risk by emphasizing
  the origination of loans with adjustable rates or shorter terms and
  investments in short-term and liquid investments. The Savings Bank has adopted
  various new business strategies intended to increase its presence in its
  Primary Market Area, thereby increasing its lending activities and sources of
  income. These steps include (i) instituting a marketing program to contact
  local realtors, builders, auto dealers and others in order to increase the
  origination of one-family to four-family residential loans, construction loans
  and permanent loans, secured by multi-family and commercial real estate, and
  consumer loans, including direct and indirect automobile loans through
  arrangements with local auto dealers; (ii) opening a new branch office which
  opened in January 1997 in the northern section of its Primary Market Area, an
  area of Effingham, Illinois which is experiencing growth in commercial and
  retail activities, and is in close proximity to expanding residential area;
  (iii) installing automated teller machines (ATM's) at its main office and the
  new branch office, as well as other possible "stand alone" locations; and (iv)
  offering new products to its customers and potential customers, including home
  equity lending and debit card program. Through the holding company
  subsidiaries, the Company will offer leasing and will also be able to further
  diversify the products that it offers when it completes its conversion to an
  Illinois state chartered commercial bank. See "Part II - - Item 5 - - Other
  Information," for more information on the conversion to a commercial bank.

   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
                                   Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Savings Bank's primary sources of funds consist of deposits, repayment and
  prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments
  and interest-bearing deposits, and funds provided from operations. Scheduled
  repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of
  investment securities are predictable influenced by general interest rates,
  economic conditions and competition. The Savings Bank uses its liquidity
  resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund
  maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in
  other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating
  expenses. Management believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds
  will not be adequate to meet the Savings Bank's liquidity needs for the
  immediate future. The Savings Bank will borrow from FHLB to meet liquidity
  demands.

The Savings Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as
  defined by OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied at the
  direction of the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is
  based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required
  minimum ratio is currently 5%. The Savings Bank has historically maintained a
  level of liquid assets in excess of excess in regulatory requirements. The
  Saving Bank's liquidity ratios at December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1996 were
  10.49% and 14.38%, respectively.

A portion of the Savings Bank's liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents,
  which include investments in highly liquid, short-term deposits. The level of
  these assets is dependent on the Savings Bank's operating, investing, lending
  and financing activities during any given period. At December 31, 1996 and
  June 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.8 million and $407,000,
  respectively.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
  management. If the Savings Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate
  them internally, the Savings Bank may borrow additional funds from the FHLB.
  At December 31, 1996, the Savings Bank had $1.3 million in fixed term and
  fixed rate advances maturing in April and May of 1997 and $4.5 million in
  daily advances.

At December 31, 1996, the Savings Bank had outstanding commitments to originate
  loans of $654,000 for 1 to 4 family dwellings. The Savings Bank had $580,000
  in unused lines of credits and $24,000 of commercial letters of credit
  outstanding. The Savings Bank anticipates that it will have to borrow
  additional FHLB advances to meet its current loan origination commitments.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

Federally insured savings associations such as the Savings Bank are required to
  maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The capital regulations
  require institutions to have tangible capital equal to 1.5% of total adjusted
  assets (as defined by regulation), a minimum core capital ratio of 3% of
  adjusted total assets, and a risk-based capital ratio of 8% of risk-based
  assets (as defined by regulation). The risk-based capital requirement is
  calculated based on the credit risk presented by both on-balance-sheet assets
  and off-balance-sheet commitments and obligations. Assets are assigned a
  credit-risk weighing based upon their relative risk ranging from 0% for assets

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's total assets increased $7.5 million, or 16.2%, from $46.4 million
 at June 30, 1996 to $54.0 million at December 31, 1996. The Savings Bank
 continues to experience loan growth, and loan receivables increased by $5.3
 million, or 14.7%, from $36.3 million at June 30, 1996 to $41.6 million at
 December 31, 1996. The Savings Bank anticipates loan growth to continue but at
 a reduced rate. Premises and equipment, net, increased $843,000, or 66.8%, from
 $1.3 million at June 30, 1996 to $2.1 million at December 31, 1996 primarily
 from the construction of the new branch facility. Deposits increased $3.6
 million, or 9.9%, from $36.5 million at June 30, 1996 to $40.1 million at
 December 31, 1996 from increased market awareness in the community. The deposit
 growth was not sufficient to meet the demands of loan originations and branch
 construction cost. The Savings Bank had to request additional advances from the
 FHLB in the amount of $4.2 million during the six months to fund the loan
 originations and construction costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was $50,000 compared to
 $97,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in net
 income resulted from the provision for loan losses of $15,000 and increase in
 non-interest expense of $117,000, which was partially offset by an increase in
 net interest income of $60,000, an increase in non-interest income of $18,000,
 and a decrease in provision for income taxes of $7,000.

Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was $390,000
 compared to $330,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase
 was due to a more significant increase in the yield on interest-earning assets
 as compared to the increase in cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest income increased by $205,000 from $745,000 to $950,000 or by 27.5%,
 during the three month 1996 period compared to 1995. This increase resulted
 from the increase in interest earnings assets from the conversion proceeds and
 an increase experienced by the Savings Bank in the average yield on interest-
 earning assets to 7.90% in 1996 from 7.62% in 1995. This increase was
 reflective of the general increase in market interest rates that occurred and
 in higher yields on new loan origination as well as on existing ARM loans in
 the Savings Bank's portfolio.

                                  Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, CONTINUED

Interest expense increased $145,000 or 34.9%, to $560,000 for the three months
 ended December 31, 1996 from $415,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase
 was primarily attributable to the increase in interest bearing liabilities of
 12.0 million, or 34.9%, from 34.2 million in 1995 to 46.2 million in 1996.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
 based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and
 the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous factors including,
 general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience,
 the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other factors that
 warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. During
 the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Savings Bank's provision
 for loan losses was $15,000 and $0, respectively.

The Savings Bank's allowance for loan losses was $313,000 or .75% of loans
 receivable at December 31, 1996, compared to $227,000, or .63% of loans
 receivable at June 30, 1996. The Savings Bank's level of non-performing loans
 was 0.96% of total loans at June 30, 1996 compared to 0.24% as of December 31,
 1996. Based on current reserve levels in relation to total loans receivable and
 classified assets and the identification and diligent effort put forth by
 management to address problem loan situations in recent years, management
 believes its reserves are currently adequate.

Noninterest income increased $18,000 to $38,000 for the three months ended
 December 31, 1996. The increase in noninterest income was largely due to an
 increase in fees collected on loans and deposit accounts.

Noninterest expense increased from $222,000 for the three months ended December
 31, 1995 to $339,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996. This
 fluctuation resulted from increases in compensation expense, occupancy and
 professional assessments. The increase in compensation expense was in part the
 result of normal salary increases, coupled with both the hiring of an
 additional loan officer and other employees. The increase in occupancy expense
 was in part due to remodeling the existing building and in part due to
 increased depreciation expense on equipment purchased during the fiscal year
 ended June 30, 1996. The increase in professional expenses were primarily
 additional services performed in conjunction being a publicly held company.

The Savings Bank's effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31,
 1996 and 1995 was approximately 32.4% and 24.2%, respectively.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

At December 31, 1996, the Savings Bank had $148,000 nonperforming assets. On
 June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank also had $400,000 nonperforming assets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

Net Income - The Savings Bank's net loss for the six months ended December 31,
 1996 was ($118,000) compared to $135,000 net income for the six months ended
 December 31, 1995. This decrease of $253,000 after tax and $369,000 before
 income tax resulted primarily from an increase in noninterest expense of
 $509,000, which was partially offset by the increase in net interest income
 after provision for loan losses of $107,000 and non-interest income increase of
 $33,000.

Net Interest Income - Net interest income for the six months ended December 31,
 1996 was $791,000 compared to $587,000 for the six months ended December 31,
 1995. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in interest-
 earning assets of $7.7 million for 1996 when compared to 1995 and an increase
 in the interest rate spread if 2.53% in 1995 to 2.92% in 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995, CONCLUDED

Interest Income - Interest income increased by $433,000 from $1.4 million to
 $1.8 million or by 30.7%, during 1996 compared to 1995. This increase resulted
 from the increase experienced by the Savings Bank in the average yield on
 interest-earning assets to 7.89% in 1996 from 7.51% in 1995. This increase was
 reflective of the general increase in market interest rates. The increase in
 market interest rates resulted in higher yields on new loan origination as well
 as on existing ARM loans in the Savings Bank's portfolio. In addition, average
 balance of interest earning asset increased by $7.7 million from December 31,
 1995 to $46.8 million at December 31, 1996 due primarily to strong loan demand.

Interest Expense - Interest expense increased by $229,000 or 27.8%, to
 $1,054,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $825,000 for the
 same period in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in
 the deposits and FHLB advances from 33.9 million in 1995 to 45.9 million in
 1996.

Provision for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is established through
 a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk
 inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation
 considers numerous factors including, general economic conditions, loan
 portfolio composition, prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the
 underlying collateral and other factors that warrant recognition in providing
 for an adequate loan loss allowance. During the six months ended December 31,
 1996 and 1995, the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses was $97,000 and $0,
 respectively.

The Savings Bank's allowance for loan losses was $313,000 or .75% of loans
 receivable at December 31, 1996, compared to $165,000, or .57% of loans
 receivable at December 31, 1995. The allowance for loan losses and the
 allowance as a percentage of loans receivable decreased primarily from the
 increase in loans receivable. The Savings Bank's level of non-performing loans
 was 1.03% of total loans at December 31, 1995 compared to 0.24% as of December
 31, 1996. Based on current reserve levels in relation to total loans receivable
 and classified assets and the identification and diligent effort put forth by
 management to address problem loan situations in recent years, management
 believes its reserves are currently adequate. The Savings Bank regularly
 reviews its loan portfolio, including problem loans, to determine whether any
 loans require classification and/or the establishment of appropriate reserves.
 Management believes it has established its existing allowance for loan losses
 in accordance with GAAP, however future reserves may be necessary if economic
 conditions or other circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions
 used in making the initial determination.

Noninterest Income - Noninterest income was $70,000 for the six months ended
 December 31, 1996 compared to $37,000 for the 1995 period. The increase in
 noninterest income was largely due to an increase in fees collected on loans
 and deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense - The Savings Bank's noninterest expense increased by
 $509,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995 to $939,000 for the six
 months ended December 31, 1996. This increase resulted from increases in
 compensation expense, occupancy, professional expenses, and $211,000 SAIF
 special assessment. The increase in compensation expense was in part the result
 of normal salary increases, coupled with both the hiring of an additional
 senior loan officer and other employees. The increase in occupancy expense was
 in part due to remodeling the existing building and in part due to increased
 depreciation expense on equipment purchased during the fiscal year ended June
 30, 1996. The increase in professional expenses was due in general to increased
 expenses of a publicly held company.

The Savings Bank's effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 1996
 and 1995 was approximately 32.6% and 30.4%, respectively.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

At December 31, 1996, the Savings Bank had $148,000 in nonperforming assets. On
 December 31, 1995, the Savings Bank had $120,000 nonperforming assets. On June
 30, 1996, the Savings Bank had $400,000 nonperforming assets.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related data presented
 herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
 principles, which require the measurement of financial position and results of
 operations in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the
 relative purchasing power of money over time because of inflation. Unlike most
 industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the
 Savings Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more
 significant impact on the Savings Bank's performance than the effects of
 general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
 direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.

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

          In January 1997, Illinois Guarantee Savings Bank, FSB, the wholly-
          owned subsidiary of Illinois Community Bancorp, Inc., announced that
          it had applied to the Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate to
          become a state-chartered commercial bank. The conversion from its
          present federal charter will result in significant savings in
          supervisory costs and direct access to a highly qualified, locally-
          based financial institutions regulator. In addition, conversion to a
          commercial bank as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Illinois Community
          Bankcorp, Inc. will provide the Bank with additional operating
          flexibility and enhance its ability to provide a full range of banking
          products and services to the community. Illinois Guarantee Savings
          Bank's deposits will continue to be insured by the Federal Deposit
          Insurance Corporation. The Bank will also continue to be operated
          locally and customers will not experience any changes in the Bank's
          operations. In addition to the Bank's application, Illinois Community
          Bancorp, Inc. must also receive approval from the Board of Governors
          of the Federal Reserve System to become a bank holding company. When
          the applications are approved, the conversion should occur this
          spring.
