NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.


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

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.

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 during the quarter and six months ended June
30, 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 during the
quarter and six months  ended June 30, 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative  of
results to be expected for the full year of 1998.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE

Net income for the second  quarter  increased to $1,320,000  from the $1,230,000
earned in the second quarter of 1997,  representing an increase of 7%. Per share
(diluted)  earnings increased to $0.30 from $0.28 a year ago. Net income for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, totaled $2,563,000, or $0.58 (diluted) per share
from  $2,368,000,  or $0.54  (diluted)  per share  for the like  period in 1997,
representing a 7% increase per share.

Return on average  assets was 0.84% for the second  quarter of 1998, as compared
to 0.81% for the same  quarter in 1997.  Return on average  assets was 0.83% for
the six months ended June 30, 1998,  as compared to 0.77% for the same period in
1997.

Return on average  stockholders'  equity  was  10.02% for the second  quarter of
1998,  as compared to  annualized  10.48% for the same 1997  quarter.  Return on
average  stockholders'  equity was 9.87% for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
as compared to 10.16% for the same period in 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled  $5,869,000 for the second
quarter  of  1998,  representing  an  increase  of  $164,000  or 2.8%  over  the
$5,705,000  earned  during  the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997.  As shown in the
Volume/Rate  Analysis on page 10, the  improvement  in net  interest  income was
attributable  to  increased  interest  income of $639,000,  which was  partially
offset by a higher interest expense of $475,000. The net interest margin for the
second  quarter of 1998  equaled  4.00% as  compared  to 4.06% for the same time
frame  in  1997.  The  decrease  in  the  net  interest   margin  was  primarily
attributable  to higher interest costs for paying  liabilities  which was partly
offset by the higher yields on earning assets.

As  indicated in the  Volume/Rate  Analysis,  the $639,000  increase in interest
income for the quarter was primarily  related to interest rate  variances in the
loan  portfolio,  totaling an increase of $880,000 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 primarily
resulted from  securities  volumes which were reduced to fund the loan portfolio
growth.

The $475,000  increase in interest expense resulted from a $306,000 increase due
to rate  coupled  with a  $169,000  increase  associated  with  volume.  A major
contributor  to the increase in interest  expense  related to higher volumes and
rates on time  deposits and advances  from the FHLB.  The increase in volume and
rate on time deposits  resulted  primarily from  promotional  efforts to attract
depositors.  The increase in volume and rate  associated  with advances from the
FHLB  is  connected  to the  Company's  utilization  of this  favorable  funding
alternative.  Both of the funding  mechanisms  were employed to attract  certain
maturities to match and fund term assets.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the net interest margin  increased
to 4.08% from 3.94% for 1997. The Volume/Rate  Analysis for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 as compared to the like 1997 period is presented on page 10.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest  income  totaled  $1,730,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, as
compared to  $1,115,000  for the same time frame in 1997,  which  represents  an
increase  of $615,000  or a 55.2%  improvement.  Basically,  all  categories  of
operating  income  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  $207,000  to a level of
$371,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 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  $150,000  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 $45,000 along with a $37,000
increase in income from trust operations.

Noninterest income totaled $3,368,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as
compared to $2,291,000 for the same period in 1997. Factoring out net securities
gains totaling  $36,000 for the 1998 six month period as compared to $97,000 for
the 1997 period,  noninterest  income  increased by  $1,138,000,  or 51.9%.  The
reasons for the six month period paralleled those described above for the second
quarter.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest  expense  totaled  $5,036,000  for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998,
increasing  by  $560,000  from the same time frame in 1997,  which  equates to a
12.5%  increase.  Increases in salaries and employee  benefits  accounted  for a
large  percentage of the increase and for the most part were directly related to
merit increases coupled with incentive payments relating to the mortgage banking
area.  The increases in furniture and equipment  expenses  along with  telephone
expense were largely  related to the computer  conversion of acquired  entities.
The  increase  in the other  expense  category  was  primarily  associated  with
accounting fees, of which the bulk of the expense was related to the outsourcing
of the internal audit  function,  which was  implemented at the beginning of the
second quarter of 1998.

Noninterest  expense equaled  $9,871,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
increasing by $684,000 from the  $9,187,000  expensed  during the same period in
1997.  The 7.5%  increase  is largely  reflective  of the same  items  discussed
regarding the second quarter expenses.

The  Company's  efficiency  ratio was 63.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998,
which was comparable to the 63.0%  recorded  during the like period in 1997. For
the six month period  ending June 30,  1998,  the  efficiency  ratio was down to
62.6% as compared to the 66.1% for the same 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  $612,000  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998,
increasing  from $535,000 for the same period in 1997,  and reflected  effective
tax rates of 31.7% and 30.3% respectively. Income tax expense totaled $1,201,000
for the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  increasing  from the $917,000 for the
1997,  six month period and  reflected  effective  tax rates of 31.9% and 27.9%,
respectively.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Transactions  in the allowance for loan losses during the quarter and six months
ended  June  30,  1998  and  1997  are  summarized  in the  table on page 7. The
provision for loan losses charged to operating expense for the second quarter of
1998 equaled  $319,000 as compared to $316,000 for the same quarter in 1997. For
the six month period ending June 30, 1998, the provision for loan losses charged
to  operating  expense  equaled  $881,000 as  compared to $473,000  for the like
period 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 half
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.  Loan  charge-offs,  net of  recoveries,
decreased to $324,000  during the first half of 1998 as compared to $340,000 for
the like period in 1997.

At June 30, 1998, the allowance for loan losses totaled $3,745,000 and increased
to .94% of total loans outstanding as compared to $3,201,000 or .89% at June 30,
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

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 June 30, 1998, was 6.81%, 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
June 30, 1998,  total risk weighted  capital ratio decreased  slightly to 11.57%
from 11.86% at December 31, 1997.  The Tier 1 Capital ratio also  decreased from
10.68% at December  31, 1997,  to 10.35% at June 30,  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
increase in cash and cash  equivalents  of $6,322,000  from December 31, 1997 to
June  30,  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 Company's subsidiary 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 June 30, 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.

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

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 June 30, 1998, the Company's  subsidiary banks held
approximately  $15,009,000  (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 June 30, 1998.

</TABLE>

Based upon the Company's  model at June 30, 1998, the effect of an immediate 200
basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company's net interest
income by 0.59% or approximately  $144,000. The effect of an immediate 200 basis
point  decrease  in rates  would  reduce  the  Company's  net income by 6.03% or
approximately $1,469,000.

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

                                       16.

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. As more fully discussed in the 1997 Annual Report
to Stockholders, the Company has spent considerable time and resources regarding
the impact of the Year 2000  issue with  respect  to its  computer  systems  and
applications as well as to its general operations,  customers and suppliers. The
Company has a Year 2000 committee, comprised of members of the Company 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 the
Company that their systems will be upgraded to Year 2000  compliance by year end
1998. While there will be some expenses  incurred during the next two years, the
Company  has not  identified  any  situations  at this time  that  will  require
material cost expenditures to become fully compliant. An unknown element at this
time is the impact of the Year 2000 on the  Company's  borrowing  customers  and
their ability to repay.  The Company has initiated a program to communicate with
key bank  customers to ensure they are  properly  prepared for the Year 2000 and
will not suffer serious adverse consequences.

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.

        During the second quarter of 1998,  the Company  announced that they had
        executed an agreement to sell their  approximate  81.7% ownership of the
        outstanding  stock  of  the  Bank  of  Ladd.  The  consummation  of  the

        regulatory  approval  and is expected to be  completed  during the third
        quarter of 1998. The addition of an insurance  subsidiary is intended to
        expand the  Company's  product mix and provide a full line of  insurance
        and investment opportunities to banking customers.
