NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of 
UnionBancorp, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles and with the rules and regulations 
of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. 
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes 
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial 
statements. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring 
adjustments which are necessary to fairly present the results for the interim 
periods presented have been included. The preparation of financial statements 
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 
recorded amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the 
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual 
results could differ from those estimates. For further information with 
respect to significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the 
preparation of its consolidated financial statements, refer to the Company's 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for 
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of 
Liabilities", which has been amended by SFAS No. 127. This statement, as 
amended, provides authoritative guidance as to the accounting and financial 
reporting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments 
of liabilities. SFAS No. 125 is based on a consistent application of a 
financial components approach that focuses on control and provides consistent 
standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales 
from transfers that are secured borrowings. The statement also requires 
measuring instruments that have a substantial prepayment risk at fair value, 
much like debt instruments classified as available-for-sale or trading. SFAS 
No. 125, as amended by SFAS No. 127, is effective on a prospective basis for 
some transactions in 1997 and others in 1998. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 
will not have a material impact on the Company.

In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." The 
overall objective of SFAS No. 128 is to simplify the calculation of earnings 
per share (EPS) and achieve comparability with the recently issued 
International Accounting Standard No. 33, "Earnings Per Share." Under this 
statement, primary EPS computed in accordance with APB Opinion No. 15 will be 
replaced with a new, simpler calculation called basic EPS. Basic EPS will be 
calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders (i.e., net 
income less preferred stock dividends) by the weighted average common shares 
outstanding without consideration for common stock equivalents such as 
options, warrants, and convertible securities. Fully diluted EPS will not 
change significantly but has been renamed diluted EPS.  SFAS No. 128 is 
effective for both interim and annual financial statements for periods ending 
after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not permitted. Upon adoption, 
the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute 
EPS and to restate all prior periods.

Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, under a new
accounting standard (SFAS 130), comprehensive income is now reported for all
periods. Comprehensive income includes both net income and other comprehensive
income. Other comprehensive income includes the change in unrealized gains and
losses on securities available-for-sale. Comprehensive income has been disclosed
in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, a new 
accounting standard (SFAS 131), establishes standards for the way that public 
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial 
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information 
about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. 
This standard will have no impact on the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL


The discussion presented below provides an analysis of the Company's results 
of operations and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. Management's discussion and 
analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial 
statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report as well 
as the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of 
results to be expected for the full year of 1998.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE 

Net income for the first quarter increased to $1,243,000 from the $1,138,000 
earned in the first quarter of 1997, representing an increase of 9%. Per 
share (diluted) earnings increased to $0.28 from $0.26 a year ago.

Return on average assets was 0.82% for the first quarter of 1998, as compared 
to 0.74% for the same quarter in 1997. Return on average stockholders' equity 
was 9.56% for the first quarter of 1998, as compared to 9.65% for the same 
1997 quarter.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $5,869,000 for the 
first quarter of 1998, representing an increase of  $412,000 or 7.5% over the 
$5,457,000 earned during the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  As shown in the 
Volume/Rate Analysis on page 9, the improvement in net interest income is 
attributable to increased interest income of $345,000, along with a lower 
interest expense of $67,000. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 
1998 increased to 4.17% as compared to 3.83% for the same time frame in 1997. 
The improvement in the net interest margin was primarily attributable to the 
higher yields on earning assets coupled with decreasing interest costs for 
paying liabilities.

As indicated in the Volume/Rate Analysis, the $345,000 increase in interest 
income for the quarter was primarily related to volume and interest rate 
variances on the loan portfolio, totaling an increase of $653,000 and 
resulted from a strategic shift in the asset mix toward loans which have a 
higher yield than securities. Consequently, the decrease in the securities 
portfolio interest income resulted  from securities volumes which were 
reduced to fund the loan portfolio growth.

The $67,000 decrease in interest expense resulted from a $128,000 decrease 
associated with volume that was partially offset by a $61,000 increase in 
rate. The decrease in interest expense relating to volume is primarily 
associated with a decrease in savings deposits balances along with a net 
reduction in reliance on short term borrowings. The increase in interest 
expense related to rate reflected a nominal increase in average rates paid on 
interest-bearing liabilities, primarily related to increases in the interest 
rates on time deposits reflecting pressures in the marketplace for deposits.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income totaled $1,638,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, 
as compared to $1,176,000 for the same time frame in 1997, which represents 
an increase of $462,000 or a 39.3% improvement. Basically, all categories of 
operating income, other than security gains, contributed to the increase with 
the bulk of the increase largely related to growth in mortgage banking and 
service charge income. Specifically, mortgage banking income increased by 
$313,000 to a level of $396,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and is 
related to gains from sales of loans and servicing.  This was a result of 
increased loan originations due to refinancing because of lower interest 
rates. Service charges on deposit accounts was $93,000 in excess of the like 
period in 1997 and was essentially attributable to a higher volume of NSF 
fees. Also contributing to the improvement in income was growth in ATM 
revenues of $49,000 along with a $28,000 increase in income from trust 
operations.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense totaled $4,835,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, 
increasing by $124,000 from the same time frame in 1997, which equates to a 
2.6% increase. Increases in salaries and employee benefits account for 
approximately all of the increase and were for the most part directly related 
to merit increases. Increases in furniture and equipment expenses along with 
telephone expense, which were largely related to the computer conversion of 
the newly acquired entities, were offset by reductions in the other expense 
category that is essentially attributable to lower correspondent bank fees, 
legal fees and insurance expense.

The efficiency ratio was 61.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, as 
compared to 68.9% recorded during the like period in 1997. The improvement in 
the 1998 efficiency ratio reflected the Company's continued improvement in 
controlling overhead and realization of the cost benefits of the operating 
strategy of capturing the economies of scale available by centralizing back 
room operations along with the consolidation of several of the Company's 
subsidiaries.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense totaled $589,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, 
increasing from $382,000 for the same period in 1997 and reflected effective 
tax rates of  32.2% and 25.1% respectively. 

NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND 90 DAY PAST DUE LOANS

At March 31, 1998, nonperforming assets totaled $2,747,000 versus the 
$3,042,000 that existed as of  December 31,1997.  The following table

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Transactions in the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 and 1997 are summarized in the table on page 7. The provision 
for loan losses charged to operating expense for the first quarter of 1998 
equaled $562,000 as compared to $157,000 for the same quarter in 1997. The 
amount of the provision for loan losses in any given period is dependent upon 
many factors, including loan growth, changes in the composition of the loan 
portfolio, net charge-offs, delinquencies, collateral values, and 
Management's assessment of current and prospective economic conditions. The 
increase in the provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 1998, 
as compared to the same time frame in 1997, was primarily reflective of the 
expansion of the loan portfolio that resulted from a strategic shift in the 
asset mix of the Company toward loans. In addition, net charge-offs totaled 
$199,000 during the first quarter of 1998 as compared to $127,000 for the 
like period in 1997.

At March 31, 1998, the allowance for loan losses totaled $3,551,000 or .94% 
of total loans outstanding as compared to $3,098,000 or .88% at March 31, 
1997. Such allowance level is considered adequate in relation to the 
estimated risk of future losses within the loan portfolio.

CAPITAL

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") has 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 
resources to provide adequate capital funds in 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 appropriated resources are 
available to the bank holding company on a reasonable basis. The Company's 
capital ratios were as follows for the dates indicated:

The Company is committed to maintaining strong capital positions in each of 
its subsidiaries and on a consolidated basis. Management monitors, analyzes 
and forecasts capital positions for each entity to ensure that adequate 
capital is available to support growth and maintain financial soundness. The 
Company's tier 1 leverage ratio as of March 31, 1998, was 6.80%, a modest 
increase from 6.64% at December 31, 1997. The ratio exceeds the regulatory 
minimum, and management believes the Company is maintaining a strong capital 
position. The Company's March 31, 1998, total risk weighted capital ratio 
also increased slightly to 12.01% from 11.86% at December 31, 1997. The Tier 
1 Capital ratio increased from 10.68% at December 31, 1997, to 10.76% at 
March 31, 1998. Both the total risk weighted and Tier 1 Capital ratios also 
continue to exceed regulatory minimums.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is measured by a financial institution's ability to raise funds 
through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of assets. Additional 
sources of liquidity, including cash flow from both the repayment of loans 
and the securitization of assets, are also considered in determining whether 
liquidity is satisfactory. Cash flows used in operating and investing 
activities, offset by those provided by financing activities, resulted in a 
net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4,624,000 from December 31, 
1997 to March 31, 1998. This usage was primarily related to the increase in 
the origination of loans held for sale which is related to the Company's 
mortgage banking operation. This was partially offset by increased 
utilization of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.  For more detailed 
cash flow information, see the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow 
located on page 4.

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). Other than loans held for sale, 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, to a 
substantial extent, 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 objective of monitoring and managing the interest rate risk position of the
balance sheet is to contribute to earnings and to minimize fluctuations in net
interest income.  The potential for earnings to be affected by changes in
interest rates is inherent in a financial institution.  Interest rate
sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and
changes in net interest income due to the repricing characteristics of assets
and liabilities.  An asset sensitive position in a given period will result in
more assets being subject to repricing; therefore, as interest rates rise, such
a position will have a positive effect on net interest income.  Conversely, in a
liability sensitive position, where liabilities reprice more quickly than assets
in a given period, a rise in interest rates will have an adverse effect on net
interest income.  The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is managed
primarily through the Company's strategy of selecting the types and terms of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which generate
favorable earnings, while limiting the potential negative effects of changes in
market interest rates.  Since the Company's primary source of interest-bearing
liabilities is customer deposits, the

Company's ability to manage the types and terms of such deposits may be 
somewhat limited by customer maturity preferences in the market areas in 
which the  Company operates.  The rates, terms, and interest rate indices of 
the Company's interest-earning assets result primarily from the Company's 
strategy of investing in loans and securities (a substantial portion of which 
have adjustable rate terms) which permit the Company to limit its exposure to 
interest rate risk, together with credit risk, while at the same time 
achieving a positive interest rate spread.

One method of analyzing interest rate risk is to evaluate the balance of the
Company's interest rate sensitivity position.  A mix of assets and liabilities
that are roughly equal in volume, term, and repricing represents a matched
interest rate sensitivity position.  Any excess of assets or liabilities in a
particular period results in an interest rate sensitivity gap.  The following
table presents the interest rate sensitivity for the Company's interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities at March 31, 1998.  The table was
prepared assuming loans prepay at varying degrees, based on type, maturity, and
rate.  All the NOW accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts reprice
in three months or less, and certificates of deposit have been included based on
contractual maturity.

The Company undertakes this interest rate-sensitivity analysis to monitor the 
potential risk to future earnings from the impact of possible future changes 
in interest rates on currently existing net assets or net liability 
positions. However, this type of analysis is as of a point-in-time, when in 
fact, the Company's interest rate sensitivity can quickly change as market 
conditions, customer needs, and management strategies change.  Thus, interest 
rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally

or at the same time.  Pursuant to its investment policy, the Company does not 
purchase off-balance-sheet derivative financial instruments.

The preceding table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general 
interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income because the 
repricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject 
to competitive and other pressures.  As of March 31, 1998, the Banks held 
approximately $19,082,000 (at amortized cost)  in mortgage-backed securities. 
 Although the mortgage-backed securities have various stated maturities, it 
is not uncommon for mortgage-backed securities to prepay outstanding 
principal prior to stated maturities.  As a result, assets and liabilities 
indicated as repricing within the same period may, in fact, reprice at 
different times and at different rate levels.

In addition to the aforementioned interest rate-sensitivity analysis, the 
Company also measures its overall interest rate sensitivity through a net 
interest income analysis.  The net interest income analysis measures the 
change in net income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates.  
This analysis assesses the risk of changes in net interest in the event of 
sudden and sustained 1.0% to 2.0% increases and decreases in market interest 
rates.  The assumption in this table are that assets will reprice faster than 
liabilities due to market constraints and management's assessment of their 
assets and liabilities.  The table below presents the Company's projected 
changes in net interest income for the various rate shock levels at March 31, 
1998.

</TABLE>

Based upon the Company's model at March 31, 1998, the effect of an immediate 
200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company's net 
interest income by 0.94% or approximately $232,000.  The effect of an 
immediate 200 basis point decrease in rates would reduce the Company's net 
income by 7.06% or approximately $1,748.

YEAR 2000

The federal banking regulators have issued several statements providing 
guidance to financial institutions on the steps the regulators expect 
financial institutions to take to become Year 2000 compliant. Each of the 
federal banking regulators is also examining the financial institutions under 
its jurisdiction to assess each institution's compliance with the outstanding 
guidance. If an institution's progress in addressing the Year 2000 problem is 
deemed by its primary federal regulator to be less than satisfactory, the 
institution will be required to enter into a memorandum of understanding with 
the regulator which will, among

other things, require the institution to promptly develop and submit an 
acceptable plan for becoming Year 2000 compliant and to provide periodic 
reports describing the institution's progress in implementing the plan. 
Failure to satisfactorily address the Year 2000 problem may also expose a 
financial institution to other forms of enforcement action that its primary 
federal regulator deems appropriate to address the deficiencies in the 
institution's Year 2000 remediation program.

The Company has a Year 2000 committee, comprised of members of UnionBancorp, 
Inc. which has already taken steps regarding this issue.  UnionData (a 
subsidiary company), has completed a survey of all core processing systems 
and support systems.  This survey included contact with each hardware and 
software vendor.  As of December 31, 1997, all core processing systems were 
documented as being year 2000 compliant.  Three vendors of non core 
processing subsystems have notified UnionBancorp, Inc. that their systems 
will be upgraded to year 2000 compliance by year end 1998.

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

This report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of 
Section 27a of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of  
the Securities Exchange 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 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 identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," 
"intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "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 affect 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 provisions, monetary and 
fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. 
Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the 
loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, 
competition, demand for financial services in the Company's market area 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. Further information 
concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that 
could materially affect the Company's financial results, is included in the 
Company's filings with the SEC.
