ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

         Progressive  Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Company" or the  "Registrant")  is a
Delaware  corporation  which is the holding  company for Pekin  Savings Bank, an
Illinois-chartered  stock  savings bank  headquartered  in Pekin,  Illinois (the
"Bank"). The Company was organized by the Bank in the fourth quarter of 1997 for
the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of the Bank in connection with
the reorganization of the Bank into the bank holding company structure. The only
significant  asset of the  Company  is the  capital  stock of the Bank,  and the
business of the Company  currently  consists solely of the business of the Bank.
Since the Company was formed in the last calendar quarter of 1997 (subsequent to
the end of the 1997 fiscal year), all financial information presented herein for
fiscal  year 1997 is the  financial  data for the Bank and its  subsidiary  on a
consolidated basis.

         The  Company's  common  stock is traded  over-the-counter  through  the
National  Daily  Quotation  System  "pink  sheets"  published  by  the  National
Quotation Bureau, Inc.

         The Bank was founded in 1882 and has been a member of the Federal  Home
Loan Bank  ("FHLB")  System  since  1955.  Its  deposits  are  insured up to the
regulatory maximum by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"),  which is
administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At September
30, 1999, the Company had total assets of $94.2 million, total deposits of $75.3
million, and stockholders' equity of $6.4 million. The Company had net income of
$419,000 and $702,000  for the fiscal years ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

         The  Bank is,  and  intends  to  continue  to be, a  community-oriented
financial  institution  committed to offering a variety of financial services to
meet the needs of its local  community.  The Bank is  engaged  primarily  in the
business of attracting  deposits from the general public and using such funds to
originate mortgage loans for the purchase of single-family homes in Tazewell and
Mason counties,  Illinois. The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed  securities,
all of which are secured by one- to four-family  residential  mortgage loans and
guaranteed  by the Federal Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  ("FHLMC"),  Federal
National  Mortgage   Association   ("FNMA")  and  Government  National  Mortgage
Association  ("GNMA").  At September  30, 1999,  one- to  four-family  loans and
mortgage-backed  securities secured by one- to four-family  residential mortgage
loans  represented  63.6% of the Bank's total  assets.  The Bank also makes home
equity loans secured by the  borrower's  principal  residence and other types of
consumer  loans  such as auto  loans  and home  improvement  loans.  To a lesser
extent, the Bank makes interim construction loans. Although the Bank has a small
number of  commercial  real estate  loans in its  portfolio,  such loans are not
actively  originated  by the Bank and  accounted for only 1.7% of the Bank's net
loan portfolio at September 30, 1999. In addition to its lending  activities and
investments in mortgage-backed securities, the Bank invests in securities issued
by the U.S. Government and its agencies.

         On  September  29, 1992,  the Bank  completed  its public  offering for
164,487  shares  of its  common  stock  as part of the  Bank's  conversion  (the
"Conversion") from an Illinois-chartered  mutual savings and loan association to
an Illinois-chartered stock savings and loan association.  The net proceeds from
the  Conversion  amounted  to over  $1.3  million.  The Bank  converted  from an
Illinois-chartered  stock savings and loan association to an  Illinois-chartered
stock savings bank in 1994.

         The Bank's and the  Company's  main office is located at 601-617  Court
Street,  Pekin,  Illinois 61554.  The telephone  number at that address is (309)
347-5101.
<PAGE>
Market Area

         The Bank's  primary  market area is  comprised  of  Tazewell  and Mason
counties,  which the Bank serves through its main office in Pekin and one branch
in Manito, Illinois.  Tazewell and Mason counties are located along the Illinois
River.  Tazewell  County is one of the three  counties  included  in the Greater
Peoria  Metropolitan  Statistical  Area, which has a population of approximately
340,000. The combined population of Tazewell and Mason counties is approximately
139,000.  The major employers of Tazewell and Mason county residents are engaged
in  heavy  and  light  manufacturing,   construction,  agriculture  and  medical
services.   These  employers  include  the  main  manufacturing  facilities  and
headquarters  of  Caterpillar,  Inc.,  located in northern  Tazewell  County and
across  the  Illinois  River  in  Peoria,  respectively,  and the  manufacturing
facilities  of Diamond Star  Motors,  Inc.  located  east of Tazewell  County in
McLean County,  Illinois.  Other major  employers  include Airco,  Midwest Grain
Elevator, Pekin Energy Corporation, and Pekin Insurance.

Business Strategy

         The Bank's  current  business  strategy  is to continue to operate as a
well-capitalized,  profitable and independent  community  financial  institution
dedicated to home ownership and to providing  quality  service to its customers.
The Bank intends to implement this strategy by: (1) providing  quality  customer
service by closely  monitoring the needs of its customers;  (2)  emphasizing the
origination  of  residential  mortgage  loans and consumer loans and by offering
other  personal  services;  (3) reducing  interest  rate risk exposure by better
matching asset and liability  maturities and rates;  (4)  controlling  operating
costs;  (5) improving asset quality;  and (6)  maintaining  capital in excess of
regulatory requirements while controlling growth.

Lending Activities

         General.  The Bank's loan portfolio  consists primarily of conventional
mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences. At September 30, 1999,
the Bank's gross loan portfolio totalled $63.4 million,  of which $49.9 million,
or 78.7%  consisted  of  one-to  four-family  residential  mortgage  loans.  The
remainder of the Bank's loan  portfolio at such date consisted of consumer loans
(19.2%) and apartment  real estate loans and  non-residential  real estate loans
(2.1%).  Historically,  the principal  lending activity of the Bank has been the
origination of mortgage  loans for the purpose of financing or refinancing  one-
to  four-family  residential  properties  in the  Bank's  primary  market  area.
Recently,   the  Bank's  lending  activities  have  been  directed  to  one-  to
four-family residential loan originations and consumer loans. Overall,  retained
loan originations had declined since 1988 because the Bank sought to improve its
capital  ratios  by  limiting   growth  and  to  increase  its   investments  in
mortgage-backed   securities  and  other  U.S.  Government  and  federal  agency
securities that have shorter average  maturities and a lower risk weighting than
residential  mortgage loans for regulatory capital purposes.  As a result of the
capital raised in the Conversion,  however, the Bank has increased the amount of
loans that it retains in its loan portfolio.

         The Bank began  selling  real estate "on  contract" in 1984 as a way to
accelerate the disposition of real estate owned ("REO"). Under this program, the
Bank makes  installment sales of REO to purchasers but retains title to the REO.
Under the installment contract, the purchaser makes payments over a period of up
to 30 years.  While most of the real estate  contracts have 30-year  terms,  the
Bank is currently  selling its REO pursuant to contracts  providing  for shorter
terms.  After the sales,  expenses  related  to holding  such REO such as taxes,
utilities and insurance are assumed by the  purchaser.  Until 1989,  real estate
sold on contract was 100% financed by the Bank.  Since 1989,  the Bank generally
has required a 10% downpayment.  In selling real estate "on contract",  the Bank
uses  underwriting  standards  similar to those used in originating  residential
real estate mortgages.  Interest rates on real estate sold on contract generally
are below current market rates for a period of three years,  before adjusting to
a market rate for the  remaining  term of the  contract.  In recent  years,  the
initial rate has ranged from 8-8 1/2% before being

                                       2
<PAGE>
adjusted to 10 1/2%. As of September 30, 1999, the Bank had $1.6 million of real
estate sold on contract.  During the year ended  September 30, 1999, the average
interest  rate paid on those  contracts  was 8.3%.  Over 97% of these related to
single family  residences.  As of September  30, 1999,  there was no real estate
sold on contract delinquent more than 90 days.

         Since the early 1980s, the Bank has worked to make its interest-earning
assets more interest rate sensitive by originating  ARM loans,  second  mortgage
loans and home equity and other consumer loans. However, the ability of the Bank
to originate ARM loans is  substantially  affected by market  interest rates and
consumer  preference  for  fixed-rate  loans in a declining  or  relatively  low
interest rate  environment.  During the second  quarter of fiscal 1996, the Bank
began offering five and seven year term balloon mortgage loans.  During the year
ended  September 30, 1999, the Bank  originated $4.2 million of the term balloon
mortgage  loans. At September 30, 1999  approximately  $10.9 million or 17.3% of
the Bank's net loan  portfolio  consisted of loans with variable  interest rates
and five and seven year balloons.

         The Bank continues to actively  originate  fixed-rate  mortgage  loans,
generally  with  10-,  15- or  30-year  terms  to  maturity  secured  by one- to
four-family  residential  properties.  One- to four-family  fixed-rate  loans of
greater than 15-year  maturities are generally  originated  with the expectation
that  they  will be sold in the  secondary  mortgage  market.  The Bank  retains
servicing on its sold mortgage loans and realizes monthly service fee income.

         The  Bank  also  originates  interim  construction  loans  on  one-  to
four-family  residential  properties,  commercial real estate loans and consumer
loans for a variety of purposes,  including home equity loans,  home improvement
loans and  automobile  loans.  The Company has  established  a  commercial  loan
department and hired a qualified  person to operate this  department.  It is the
Company's intent to increase lending in commercial loans.

         Residential  Real Estate Loans.  The Bank's  primary  lending  activity
consists of the origination of one- to four-family, owner-occupied,  residential
mortgage  loans secured by property  located in the Bank's  primary market area.
The Bank currently offers  residential  mortgage loans for terms of from 5 to 30
years,  and with  adjustable or fixed  interest  rates.  The interest rate as of
September 30, 1999 on fixed 10, 15 and 30 year mortgage loans was 7.625%, 7.625%
and 8.25%,  respectively.  Origination  of fixed-rate  mortgage loans versus ARM
loans is  monitored  on an ongoing  basis and is affected  significantly  by the
level of market interest rates,  customer preference,  and loan products offered
by the

                                       5
<PAGE>
Bank's competitors. Therefore, even if management's strategy is to emphasize ARM
loans, market conditions may be such that there is greater demand for fixed-rate
mortgage loans, including the 5 and 7 year balloon loans.

         The  Bank's  fixed-rate  loans  of more  than  15-year  maturities  are
originated  with the  expectation  that they  will be  resold  in the  secondary
mortgage  market.  Fixed-rate  loans of 15 years or less may be  retained in the
Bank's loan portfolio based on market conditions. The Bank's fixed-rate mortgage
loans are  amortized  on a monthly  basis with  principal  and interest due each
month.  Residential real estate loans often remain outstanding for significantly
shorter periods than their  contractual terms because borrowers may refinance or
prepay loans at their option.

         Since 1989, the Bank's policy has been to attempt to sell nearly all of
its fixed-rate  single family  residential  loan  originations  in the secondary
mortgage  market through FHLMC  programs.  This has enabled the Bank to generate
origination fee and servicing fee income without increasing the total asset size
of the Bank.  The Bank sells loans to FHLMC and retains  servicing  on such loan
originations  for which the Bank  retains a fee of .25% of the  stated  interest
rate  of  the  mortgage  loan  sold.  The  Bank  is  subject  to the  risk  that
fluctuations  in market  interest  rates between the date the loan is originated
and the  date  the  loan is  sold  may  make it  infeasible  to sell  such  loan
originations to FHLMC and other secondary  market  purchasers.  Such unsold loan
originations may need to be retained in the Bank's loan portfolio.

         The primary  purpose of  offering  ARM loans is to make the Bank's loan
portfolio more interest rate sensitive.  However,  as the interest income earned
on ARM loans varies with prevailing  interest rates, such loans do not offer the
Bank  predictable  cash flows as would  long-term,  fixed-rate  loans. ARM loans
carry increased credit risk associated with potential higher monthly payments by
borrowers as general market interest rates increase. It is possible,  therefore,
that during periods of rising interest  rates,  the risk of default on ARM loans
may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest costs to the borrower.

         The Bank's ARM loans adjust  annually  with  interest  rate  adjustment
limitations of one (1) percentage point per year and five (5) percentage  points
over the life of the loan.  The  interest  rate on the Bank's ARM loans does not
adjust downward below the initial  interest rate. The interest rate on ARM loans
is based on the one-year U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Index plus a 2% margin.
In the past, the Bank has also used the Seventh District Monthly Average Cost of
Funds as an index for its ARM loans.  Since the Bank has used different  indices
for its ARM loans,  such as the Seventh  District  Monthly Average Cost of Funds
Index,  the adjustments in the Bank's portfolio of ARM loans tend not to reflect
any one  particular  change in any  specific  interest  rate  index,  but rather
general interest rate trends overall.  The Bank's policy is to qualify borrowers
for ARM  loans  based on the  initial  rate of the ARM loan.  ARM loans  totaled
approximately  $9.5 million,  or 15.1% of the Bank's total net loan portfolio at
September 30, 1999.

         The  Bank's  residential  first  mortgage  loans  customarily   include
due-on-sale clauses, which are provisions giving the Bank the right to declare a
loan  immediately  due and payable in the event,  among other  things,  that the
borrower sells or otherwise  disposes of the underlying real property serving as
security for the loan.  Due-on-sale  clauses are an important means of adjusting
the rates on the Bank's  fixed-rate  mortgage loan  portfolio,  and the Bank has
generally exercised its rights under these clauses.

                                       6
<PAGE>
         Regulations  limit the amount  that a savings  association  may lend in
relationship  to the  appraised  value of the real estate  securing the loan, as
determined  by an appraisal at the time of loan  origination.  Such  regulations
permit a maximum  loan-to-value  ratio of 100% for residential  property and 90%
for all other real estate loans. The Bank's lending policies, however, generally
limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on both fixed-rate and ARM loans to 80% of
the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property to serve
as security for the loan.

         The Bank occasionally makes real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios
in excess of 80%. For real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios of between 80%
and 95%,  the Bank  requires  the first 35% of the loan to be covered by private
mortgage insurance.  The Bank does not make real estate loans with loan-to-value
ratios in excess of 95%. The Bank requires fire and casualty insurance,  as well
as title  insurance  or an opinion  of  counsel  regarding  good  title,  on all
properties securing real estate loans made by the Bank.

         Commercial  Real Estate  Loans.  The Bank has always been  selective in
originating  commercial  real estate loans.  Loans  secured by  commercial  real
estate constituted  approximately $1.2 million,  or 1.9%, of the Bank's net loan
portfolio at September 30, 1999.  The Bank's  permanent  commercial  real estate
loans  are  secured  by  improved  property  such  as  offices,  small  business
facilities,  buildings,  warehouses and other non-residential  buildings, all of
which are located in the Bank's  primary  market area and all of which are to be
used or occupied by the borrowers.  Commercial  real estate loans are offered as
five- or seven-year  balloon loans,  amortized over 30 years. The Bank generally
does not originate  commercial real estate  construction loans or land loans. At
September  30,  1999,  the Bank's  largest  commercial  real  estate  loan had a
principal  outstanding  balance of $304,000 and was made to finance rental units
located in Pekin, Illinois.

         Loans secured by  commercial  real estate  generally  involve a greater
degree of risk than  residential  mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances.
This  increased  credit  risk is a result  of  several  factors,  including  the
concentration  of  principal  in a limited  number of loans and  borrowers,  the
effects of general economic  conditions on income  producing  properties and the
increased  difficulty  of  evaluating  and  monitoring  these  types  of  loans.
Furthermore,  the repayment of loans secured by multifamily  and commercial real
estate is typically dependent upon the successful  operation of the related real
estate  project.  If the cash flow from the project is reduced,  the  borrower's
ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

         Consumer Loans.  Illinois-chartered savings institutions are authorized
to make secured and unsecured consumer loans in an aggregate amount up to 30% of
their assets. In addition, the Bank has lending authority above the 30% category
for certain  consumer  loans,  such as equity loans,  home property  improvement
loans, and loans secured by savings accounts.

         As of September 30, 1999, net consumer loans totalled $12.1 million, or
19.2%, of the Bank's net loan  portfolio.  The principal types of consumer loans
offered by the Bank are equity loans,  auto loans,  home improvement  loans, and
loans secured by deposit  accounts.  Home equity loans and second mortgage loans
are  originated  on a fixed-rate  basis only and have terms up to 15 years.  The
Bank's home equity loans and second mortgage loans are generally  secured by the
borrower's principal residence and a personal guarantee.  At September 30, 1999,
home equity loans and home improvement loans totalled $9.0 million,  or 74.4% of
net consumer loans.  Auto loans are originated on a fixed-rate  basis with terms
of up to 7 years,  and passbook  loans charge  interest only at 2 1/2% above the
rate  being  paid on the  savings  account  securing  the loan and have terms no
longer than the terms of the underlying certificates of deposit.

                                       7
<PAGE>
         The  underwriting  standards  employed by the Bank for  consumer  loans
include a determination  of the applicant's  credit history and an assessment of
the  applicant's  ability  to meet  existing  obligations  and  payments  on the
proposed loan. The stability of the applicant's monthly income may be determined
by   verification  of  gross  monthly  income  from  primary   employment,   and
additionally  from any  verifiable  secondary  income.  Creditworthiness  of the
applicant is of primary  consideration.  However,  the underwriting process also
includes a  comparison  of the value of the security in relation to the proposed
loan amount.

         The Bank intends to continue to increase  consumer loan originations in
the future by actively  cross-selling  consumer  loan  products  and services to
existing customers,  and advertising  consumer loan products in its market area.
Consumer  loans tend to have higher  interest  rates than  residential  mortgage
loans, but also tend to have a higher risk of default than residential  mortgage
loans.  Management  believes that the Bank's loan loss  experience in connection
with consumer loans is favorable.  See  "Non-Performing  Assets" and "Classified
Assets" for  information  regarding the Bank's loan loss  experience and reserve
policy.

         Construction  Loans. The Bank occasionally  originates loans to finance
the construction of owner-occupied  residential property. At September 30, 1999,
the Bank had none of its net loan  portfolio  invested  in interim  construction
loans. The Bank makes  construction loans to private  individuals.  Construction
loans  generally are made with either  adjustable  or fixed-rate  terms of up to
twelve  months.  Loan  proceeds are  disbursed  in  increments  as  construction
progresses and as inspections  warrant.  Construction loans are structured to be
converted  to  permanent  loans  originated  by  the  Bank  at  the  end  of the
construction period or upon receiving permanent financing from another financial
institution.

         Loan Solicitation and Processing.  Loan originations are derived from a
number of sources  such as real estate  broker  referrals,  existing  customers,
borrowers,  builders,  attorneys and walk-in  customers.  Upon receipt of a loan
application,  a credit report is made to verify specific information relating to
the applicant's  employment,  income, and credit standing. In the case of a real
estate loan,  an  appraisal  of the real estate  intended to secure the proposed
loan is  undertaken  by an  independent  appraiser  approved by the Bank. A loan
application  file is first  reviewed  by the  Bank's  loan  department  and then
submitted for approval to a loan committee consisting of five senior officers of
the Bank and  subsequently  ratified  by the full  Board of  Directors.  One- to
four-family  residential  mortgage  loans with  principal  balances in excess of
$150,000 must be approved by the Executive  Committee and all  multi-family  and
commercial real estate loans must be submitted by the loan committee directly to
the Board of Directors for approval.  Appraisals on real estate  underlying most
real  estate   loans  in  excess  of  $250,000   must  be  performed  by  either
state-licensed or state-certified appraisers,  depending on the type and size of
the loan.  Once the Board of  Directors  ratifies  or  approves  a loan,  a loan
commitment is promptly issued to the borrower.

         If the loan is approved,  a  commitment  is given which  specifies  the
terms and  conditions  of the proposed  loan  including  the amount of the loan,
interest  rate,   amortization   term,  a  brief  description  of  the  required
collateral,  and required insurance coverage. The borrower must provide proof of
fire  and  casualty  insurance  on the  property  serving  as  collateral  which
insurance must be maintained  during the full term of the loan.  Title insurance
or an attorney's  opinion based on a title search of the property is required on
all loans secured by real property.

         Loan  Origination,  Servicing,  and Other Fees. All loans in the Bank's
portfolio at September  30, 1999,  were  originated  by the Bank. In addition to
interest earned on loans, the Bank generally receives loan origination fees. The
Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in December 1986 issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  91 on  the  accounting  for
non-refundable fees and costs associated with originating or acquiring loans. To
the extent that loans are originated or acquired for the Banks's portfolio, SFAS
No. 91 requires that the Bank defer loan origination fees and costs and amortize
such amounts as an  adjustment  of yield over the life of the loan by use of the
level yield method. SFAS No. 91 reduces the amount of revenue recognized by many
financial  institutions  at the time such  loans  are  originated  or  acquired.
Because SFAS No. 91 affects the timing of loan fee income, it is not expected to
have an effect on income over an extended  period of time.  Fees deferred  under
SFAS No. 91 are recognized into income  immediately upon the sale of the related
loan.  At September 30, 1999,  the Bank had $97,000 of deferred loan fees.  Loan
origination fees are volatile sources of income.  Such fees vary with the volume
and type of loans made and with competitive  conditions in the mortgage markets,
which in turn respond to the demand and availability of money.

         In addition to loan origination fees, the Bank also receives other fees
and service  charges which consist  primarily of late charges and loan servicing
fees on loans sold. At September 30, 1999,  the Bank was servicing  loans with a
balance of $17.4  million,  as to which it generally  receives fees at an annual
rate of .25% to .375%.  The Bank also receives  fees in  connection  with credit
cards it offers.

         Loans to One Borrower.  Current law and regulations  limit loans to one
borrower in an amount equal to 15% of unimpaired  capital and unimpaired surplus
on an unsecured basis, an additional  amount equal to 10% of unimpaired  capital
and unimpaired surplus if the loan is secured by readily  marketable  collateral
(generally,  financial  instruments and bullion,  but not real estate). The Bank
currently is in compliance with its loans-to-one borrower limitations.

         Delinquencies.  The Bank's  collection  procedures  provide that when a
real  estate  loan is 20 days'  past due (10 days for  consumer  loans),  a late
charge is added and the borrower is contacted by mail and payment is  requested.
If the  delinquency  continues,  subsequent  efforts  are  made to  contact  the
delinquent  borrower.  Additional  late  charges  may be added and,  if the loan
continues  in a  delinquent  status  for 90 days or  more,  the  Bank  generally
initiates foreclosure proceedings.

         Non-Performing  Assets.  The Bank reviews  delinquent or non-performing
loans on a regular basis. Management does not place delinquent or impaired loans
on non-accrual  status, but rather establishes  reserves against the uncollected
interest  when a loan  is 90  days or more  past  due  and  the  loan is  deemed
uncollectible,  the effect of which is to not recognize  interest  income on the
loan  until the loan is made  current.  Foreclosure  proceedings  generally  are
initiated shortly thereafter.

         Real estate  acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed
in lieu of  foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it
is  sold.  When REO is  acquired,  it is  recorded  at the  lower of the  unpaid
principal  balance of the related loan or its fair market value.  Any write-down
of REO is charged to the allowance for losses on real estate owned. At September
30, 1999,  the Bank had no property  acquired as the result of foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure and classified as REO.

asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current
net worth and paying  capacity of the obligor or of the collateral  pledged,  if
any.   "Substandard"   assets  include  those  characterized  by  the  "distinct
possibility"  that the  insured  institution  will  sustain  "some  loss" if the
deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the
weaknesses   inherent  in  those  classified   "substandard,"   with  the  added
characteristic  that the weaknesses  present make  "collection or liquidation in
full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly
questionable and improbable."  Assets  classified as "loss" are those considered
"uncollectible"  and of such  little  value  that  their  continuance  as assets
without the  establishment  of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets
that do not expose the bank to risk sufficient to warrant  classification in one
of the aforementioned  categories, but which assets possess some weaknesses, are
required to be designated "special mention" by management.

         When a savings bank classifies  problem assets as either substandard or
doubtful,  it is required to establish general  allowances for loan losses in an
amount  deemed  prudent  by  management.   General  allowances   represent  loss
allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated
with lending activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been
allocated to particular  problem assets.  When a savings bank classifies problem
assets as "loss," it is required  either to establish a specific  allowance  for
losses equal to 100% of the amount of the assets so  classified or to charge off
such amount.  The Bank's  determination as to the  classification of its assets,
and the  amount of its  valuation  allowances  is  subject to review by the FDIC
which can  order the  establishment  of  additional  general  or  specific  loss
allowances.  The Bank  regularly  reviews the problem  loans in its portfolio to
determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable
regulations.

         Classified  assets  consisted  of  mortgage  loans  or  consumer  loans
originated in the Bank's primary market area.

         Allowance  for Loan  Losses.  Management's  policy  is to  provide  for
estimated  losses on the Bank's loan portfolio based on management's  evaluation
of the potential losses that may be incurred. Such evaluation,  which includes a
review of all loans of which full  collectibility  of interest and principal may
not be reasonably  assured,  considers,  among other matters,  the estimated net
realizable  value of the underlying  collateral.  During 1999 and 1998, the Bank
added $19,000 and $14,500,  respectively,  to the allowance for loan losses. The
provision for loan losses for the year ended  September 30, 1999 is attributable
to management's  current view of the risks in the Bank's loan portfolio based on
an evaluation of specific loans in its portfolio,  estimated  collateral values,
historical loss  experience,  current  economic trends and the existing level of
the Bank's allowance for loan losses.

         Management  will  continue  to review  the  entire  loan  portfolio  to
determine the extent,  if any, to which further  additional loan loss provisions
may be deemed  necessary.  There can be no assurance that the allowance for loan
losses  will be adequate  to cover  losses  which may in fact be realized in the
future and that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required.

         Analysis of the  Allowance For Loan Losses.  The  following  table sets
forth the  breakdown of the  allowance  for loan losses by loan category for the
periods  indicated.  Management  believes that the allowance can be allocated by
category  only on an  approximate  basis.  The  allocation  to the  allowance by
category is not  necessarily  indicative of further losses and does not restrict
the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

Investment Activities

         In recent years,  the Bank has sought to decrease the percentage of its
assets invested in  mortgage-backed  securities and other  securities  issued or
guaranteed by the U.S.  Government or an agency thereof.  This decrease has been
due to an increase in the Bank's  origination of higher yielding  mortgage loans
as the Bank has  returned to a more  traditional  thrift  asset  portfolio.  The
increase in mortgage loans retained in the Bank's portfolio reflects the capital
raised in the Conversion and the improved  capital ratios which have enabled the
Bank to reduce liquidity.  The Bank's investment securities consist primarily of
mortgage-backed  securities  issued or guaranteed by FHLMC,  FNMA or GNMA,  U.S.
Treasury notes, and securities issued by agencies of the U.S. Government.

         The Bank is required  under federal  regulations  to maintain a minimum
amount of liquid assets which may be invested in specified short-term securities
and certain other investments.  See "Regulation--Federal  Regulations--Liquidity
Requirements." The Bank generally has maintained a liquidity portfolio in excess
of  regulatory  requirements.  Liquidity  levels may be  increased  or decreased
depending  upon the  yields on  investment  alternatives  and upon  management's
judgment as to the  attractiveness  of the yields then  available in relation to
other  opportunities  and its  expectation  of the  level of yield  that will be
available in the future,  as well as  management's  projections  as to the short
term  demand  for  funds to be used in the  Bank's  loan  origination  and other
activities.

Subsidiary Activities

         The  Bank's  only  service  corporation  subsidiary  - Pekin  Financial
Service Corporation (the "Service  Corporation") was incorporated in March 1988,
as an Illinois corporation. The Service Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Bank. The principal business of the Service  Corporation is travel agency
services to the public. The Service  Corporation  reported net income of $26,000
for the year ended  September 30, 1999 and $54,000 for the year ended  September
30,  1998.  The  Bank's  investment  in the  Service  Corporation  was $5,000 at
September  30,  1999,  and  the  Service   Corporation   had  total  assets  and
stockholder's equity of $390,000 and $355,000, respectively, at that date.

         Under  FIRREA,  SAIF-insured  institutions  are  required to provide 30
days' advance notice to the FDIC before  establishing  or acquiring a subsidiary
or conducting a new activity in a subsidiary.  The insured institution must also
provide the FDIC such  information as may be required by applicable  regulations
and must  conduct the  activity in  accordance  with the rules and orders of the
FDIC. In addition to other  enforcement  and  supervision  powers,  the FDIC may
determine after notice and opportunity for a hearing that the  continuation of a
savings association's ownership of or relation to a subsidiary (i) constitutes a
serious risk to the safety,  soundness or stability of the savings  association,
or (ii) is inconsistent  with the purposes of FIRREA.  Upon the making of such a
determination,  the FDIC may order the savings bank to divest the  subsidiary or
take other actions.

Sources of Funds

         General.  Deposits are the major source of the Bank's funds for lending
and other investment purposes.  In addition to deposits,  the Bank derives funds
from the  amortization and prepayment of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,
the sale or maturity of investment securities,  the sale of assets held for sale
and  mortgage-backed  securities,  operations and, if needed,  advances from the
FHLB of Chicago.  Scheduled  loan principal  repayments are a relatively  stable
source of funds,  while deposit  inflows and outflows and loan  prepayments  are
significantly  influenced  by  general  interest  rates and  market  conditions.
Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the
availability  of funds from other  sources or on a longer term basis for general
business purposes.

         Deposits.  Consumer and commercial  deposits are attracted  principally
from  within the Bank's  primary  market area  through  the  offering of a broad
selection of deposit instruments  including NOW, regular savings,  club savings,
money market  deposits,  term  certificate  accounts and  individual  retirement
accounts.  Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required,
the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest  rate,  among
other factors.  The Bank regularly evaluates the internal cost of funds, surveys
rates  offered  by  competing   institutions,   reviews  the  Bank's  cash  flow
requirements  for lending and  liquidity  and executes  rate changes when deemed
appropriate.  The Bank  does  not  obtain  funds  through  brokers,  nor does it
actively solicit funds outside its primary market area.

         The Bank does not offer premiums to attract or retain deposits. Because
of a decline in market interest rates generally, the Bank has been able to lower
the interest rates on its deposit accounts,  thereby lowering its cost of funds.
In addition,  the Bank currently does not offer 3-month  certificates of deposit
resulting  in  lower-cost  deposits as  investors  have  rolled-over  funds into
lower-yielding passbook savings accounts and money market funds.

         Certificates  of deposit  with  principal  amounts of  $100,000 or more
constituted $4.5 million,  or 6.0% of the Bank's total deposits at September 30,
1999.  These deposits  include  deposits from various  entities and individuals.
These  deposits may be more volatile than other deposit  accounts and may impact
the Bank's cost of funds,  liquidity  and funds  available for lending if one or
more depositors withdraw their funds from the Bank.

</TABLE>

         In the unlikely event of liquidation  of the Bank,  depositors  will be
entitled to full payment of their  deposit  accounts  prior to any payment being
made to the stockholders of the Bank. Substantially all of the Bank's depositors
are residents of Illinois.

         Borrowings.  Savings  deposits  are the primary  source of funds of the
Bank's lending and investment  activities and for its general business purposes.
The Bank,  if the need arises,  may rely upon  advances from the FHLB of Chicago
and the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  discount  window to  supplement  its  supply of
lendable funds and to meet deposit  withdrawal  requirements.  Advances from the
FHLB are typically  secured by the Bank's stock in the FHLB and a portion of the
Bank's first mortgage  loans.  At September 30, 1999, the Bank had $11.5 million
in  advances  outstanding  from  the  FHLB.  The Bank  does  not have any  other
short-term or long-term borrowings outstanding.

         The FHLB functions as a central  reserve bank providing  credit for the
Bank and other member  savings  associations  and financial  institutions.  As a
member,  the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized
to apply for  advances  on the  security  of such stock and  certain of its home
mortgages provided certain standards related to creditworthiness  have been met.
Advances are made pursuant to several  different  programs.  Each credit program
has its own  interest  rate and range of  maturities.  Depending on the program,
limitations on the amount of advances are based either on a fixed  percentage of
a  member   institution's   net  worth  or  on  the  FHLB's  assessment  of  the
institution's creditworthiness.

Competition

         The Bank encounters strong competition both in attracting  deposits and
in  originating  real estate and other loans.  Its most direct  competition  for
deposits  has  come   historically   from   commercial   banks,   other  savings
associations,  brokerage firms, and a large credit union in its market area, and
the Bank expects continued strong  competition from such financial  institutions
in the foreseeable  future.  The Bank's market area includes branches of several
commercial  banks  which  are  substantially  larger  than  the Bank in terms of
state-wide deposits. The Bank competes for savings by offering depositors a high
level of personal  service  together  with a range of  financial  services.  The
competition  for real estate and other loans comes  principally  from commercial
banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions and other savings associations.
The Bank competes for loans  primarily  through the interest rates and loan fees
it charges and the  efficiency  and  quality of services it provides  borrowers,
real estate  brokers and  builders.  Factors  that  affect  competition  include
general  and  local  economic  conditions,  current  interest  rate  levels  and
volatility of the mortgage markets.

         Based on total assets,  at September 30, 1999,  the Bank was the second
largest  savings  institution  headquartered  in its market area,  consisting of
Mason and Tazewell counties.

                                   REGULATION

         The Bank is an Illinois-chartered savings bank and its deposit accounts
are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal  government under the SAIF of
the FDIC. The Bank is subject to extensive  regulation by the Illinois Office of
the Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies (the "Commissioner") and the FDIC.
The Bank must file reports with the  Commissioner  and the FDIC  concerning  its
activities  and  financial  condition,   in  addition  to  obtaining  regulatory
approvals  prior to  entering  into  certain  transactions  such as  mergers  or
acquisitions with other depository institutions. There are periodic examinations
of the Bank by the  Commissioner  and the FDIC to review the  Bank's  compliance
with  various  regulatory  requirements.  The Bank is also  subject  to  certain
reserve  requirements  established  by the  Board of  Governors  of the  Federal
Reserve System ( the "FRB").  The Company,  as a bank holding  company,  is also
subject to  regulation  by the FRB and will be required  to file  reports to the
FRB. This  regulation and supervision  establishes a comprehensive  framework of
activities in which a savings bank can engage and is intended  primarily for the
protection of the SAIF and depositors.  The regulatory  structure also gives the
regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory
and enforcement  activities and examination  policies,  including  policies with
respect to the  classification  of assets and the establishment of adequate loan
loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulation, whether by
the Commissioner,  the FDIC, the FRB or Congress could have a material impact on
the operations of the Bank or the Company.

Illinois Savings Bank and Savings Bank Holding Company Law and Regulation

         In August 1990,  Illinois  enacted the Savings Bank Act ("SBA"),  which
establishes  Illinois-chartered  savings banks. Under the SBA, savings banks are
chartered  and  regulated by the  Commissioner  and possess all of the powers of
federal and Illinois-chartered savings and loan associations.

         As  an  Illinois-chartered   savings  bank,  the  Bank  is  subject  to
regulation and supervision by the Commissioner.  This regulation  covers,  among
other things, the Bank's internal organization (i.e., charter,  bylaws,  capital
requirements,  transactions with directors and officers,  and composition of the
board of  directors),  as well as  supervision  of  permissible  activities  and
mergers and  acquisitions.  The Bank is required to file periodic  reports with,
and is subject to  periodic  examinations  at least once within  every  18-month
period by, the Commissioner. The lending and investment authority of the Bank is
prescribed by Illinois law and regulations,  as well as applicable  Federal laws
and regulations,  and the Bank is prohibited from engaging in any activities not
permitted by such laws and regulations.

         Under  Illinois  law,  savings banks are required to maintain a minimum
core capital to total  assets ratio of 3%. The  Commissioner  is  authorized  to
require  a  savings  bank to  maintain  a higher  minimum  capital  level if the
Commissioner  determines that the savings bank's financial condition or history,
management  or earnings  prospects are not  adequate.  If a savings  bank's core
capital ratio falls below the required level,  the  Commissioner  may direct the
savings  bank  to  adhere  to  a  specific   written  plan  established  by  the
Commissioner  to correct the savings  bank's  capital  deficiency,  as well as a
number of other  restrictions  on the  savings  bank's  operations,  including a
prohibition  on the  declaration  of  dividends  by the savings  bank's board of
directors.  As a matter  of  policy,  the  Commissioner  requires  that  savings
associations  that  convert to savings  banks under the SBA have a minimum  core
capital to assets ratio of 6%. At September 30, 1999, the Bank's regulatory core
capital ratio was 7.3% of total  adjusted  assets,  which  exceeded the required
amount.

         Under  Illinois law, a savings bank may make both secured and unsecured
loans.  However,  loans for  business,  corporate,  commercial  or  agricultural
purposes, whether secured or unsecured, may not in the aggregate exceed 15% of a
savings  bank's total assets  unless  authorized by the  Commissioner.  With the
prior written consent of the Commissioner, savings banks may also engage in real
estate  development  activities,  provided that the total  investment in any one
project may not exceed 15% of total  capital,  and the total  investment  in all
projects may not exceed 50% of total capital.  The total loans and extensions of
credit  outstanding at one time, both direct and indirect,  by a savings bank to
any  borrower  may not  exceed  15% of the  savings  bank's  total  capital.  At
September  30,  1999,  the Bank did not have  any  loans-to-one  borrower  which
exceeded this  limitation.  For information  about the largest  borrowers of the
Bank, see "Lending Activities" above.

         Illinois-chartered savings banks generally have all lending, investment
and other powers which are possessed by federal savings banks based in Illinois.
Recent  federal and state  legislative  developments  have reduced  distinctions
between  commercial  banks and savings  institutions in Illinois with respect to
lending and investment  authority.  As federal law has expanded the authority of
federally  chartered  savings  institutions  to engage in activities  previously
reserved for commercial  banks,  Illinois  legislation and regulations  ("parity
legislation")  have given  Illinois-chartered  savings  institutions such as the
Bank the powers of federally chartered savings institutions.

         The board of directors  of a savings bank may declare  dividends on its
capital stock based upon the savings  bank's  annualized net profits except that
until the paid-in  surplus of the  savings  bank  equals its  capital  stock,  a
dividend  may not be  declared  unless  there has been  transferred  to  paid-in
surplus not less than 10% of the net profits of the  preceding  half year in the
case of  quarterly  or  semiannual  dividends,  or not less  than 10% of the net
profits for the preceding  year in the case of annual  dividends.  Dividends may
not be  declared  if a  savings  bank  fails to meet its  capital  requirements.
Further  written  approval of the  Commissioner is required before any dividends
exceeding 50% of a savings bank's profits for any fiscal year may be declared. A
dividend may be declared out of retained earnings at any time.

                                       21
<PAGE>
         An  Illinois-chartered  savings  bank  may not  make a loan to a person
owning 10% or more of its stock, an affiliated  person,  an agent or an attorney
of the savings bank,  either  individually or as an agent or partner of another,
except under the rules of the  Commissioner  and  regulations of the FDIC.  This
restriction  does not  apply,  however,  to loans  made (i) on the  security  of
single-family residential property used by the borrower as his or her residence,
and (ii) to a non-profit,  religious,  charitable or fraternal organization or a
corporation  in which  the  savings  bank has been  authorized  to invest by the
Commissioner.  Furthermore,  a savings bank may not purchase, lease or acquire a
site for an office  building  or an  interest  in real  estate  from an officer,
director, employee or the holder of more than 10% of the savings bank's stock or
certain  affiliated  persons  as set forth in  Illinois  law,  unless  the prior
written approval of the Commissioner is obtained.

         The SBA  provides  that any  depository  institution  may merge  into a
savings  bank  operating  under the SBA.  The Board of Directors of each merging
institution must approve a plan of merger by resolution adopted by majority vote
of all members of the respective boards. After such approval, the plan of merger
must be submitted to the Commissioner for approval. The Commissioner may make an
examination of the affairs of each merging  institution (and their  affiliates).
The  Commissioner  shall not  approve a merger  agreement  unless he finds that,
among other things, (i) the resulting  institution meets all requirements of the
SBA; (ii) the merger  agreement is fair to all persons  affected;  and (iii) the
resulting  institution will be operated in a safe and sound manner.  If approved
by the Commissioner, the plan of merger must be submitted to stockholders of the
depository  institution  for  approval,  and may be required to be  submitted to
members  if a  mutual  savings  bank  is  one  of the  constituent  entities.  A
two-thirds affirmative vote is required for approval of the plan of merger.

         The SBA permits an Illinois  savings bank holding company to control or
own more than 5% of the  voting  shares or rights of a savings  bank only if the
principal  place of business of the savings  bank is located in those  states in
which a savings bank holding company is permitted to acquire an Illinois savings
bank.  When  requested,  the  Commissioner  will review the laws of the state to
determine whether the laws of that state expressly authorize an Illinois savings
bank holding company to acquire a savings bank in that state.

         A savings bank holding company may invest in the stock of or other form
of equity ownership of any company which the board of directors determines to be
in the best interests of stock owners and  depositors,  and such investment must
be documented in the holding  company's  minutes with reference to such items as
price/earning ratios, future prospects, sources of income and compatibility with
the overall business plan of the holding company.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991

         On December 19, 1991, the FDICIA became law. FDICIA primarily addressed
the  recapitalization of the BIF, which insures the deposits of commercial banks
and  savings  associations.  In  addition,  FDICIA  established  a number of new
mandatory supervisory measures for savings associations and banks.

         Standards for Safety and  Soundness.  FDICIA  requires the federal bank
regulatory agencies to prescribe regulatory standards for all insured depository
institutions  and  depository  institution  holding  companies  relating to: (i)
internal   controls,   information   systems  and  audit   systems;   (ii)  loan
documentation;  (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate risk exposure; (v)
asset  growth;  and (vi)  compensation,  fees  and  benefits.  The  compensation
standards  would  prohibit   employment   contracts,   compensation  or  benefit
arrangements,  stock  option  plans,  fee  arrangements  or  other  compensatory
arrangements that provide excessive compensation, fees or benefits or could lead
to material financial loss. In addition the federal banking regulatory  agencies
are  required to  prescribe  by  regulation  standards  specifying:  (i) maximum
classified assets to capital ratios;  (ii) minimum earnings sufficient to absorb
losses without impairing  capital;  and (iii) to the extent feasible,  a minimum
ratio of market value to book value for  publicly  traded  shares of  depository
institutions and depository institution holding companies. In November 1993, the
federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, proposed regulations regarding the
implementation of these standards.

         Prompt Corrective  Action  Regulation.  FDICIA  establishes a system of
prompt   corrective   action  to  resolve  the   problems  of   undercapitalized
institutions.  Under this system,  which became  effective on December 19, 1992,
the FDIC and the other banking regulators are required to establish five capital
categories  ("well-capitalized,"  "adequately capitalized,"  "undercapitalized,"
"significantly  undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized") and to take
certain  mandatory  supervisory  actions  (and  are  authorized  to  take  other
discretionary   actions)   with   respect   to   institutions   in   the   three
undercapitalized  categories, the severity of which will depend upon the capital
category in which the  institution  is placed.  Generally,  FDICIA  requires the
appropriate  banking  regulator  to appoint a  receiver  or  conservator  for an
institution that is critically undercapitalized.

         Under  the  FDIC  rule   implementing  the  prompt   corrective  action
provisions,  a bank  that  has a total  risk-based  capital  ratio  of  10.0% or
greater,  a Tier 1  risk-based  capital  ratio of 6.0% or greater and a leverage
ratio of 5.0% or greater,  and is not subject  toany written  agreement,  order,
capital  directive or prompt  corrective action directive to meet and maintain a
specific   capital   level   for  any   capital   measure   is   deemed   to  be
"well-capitalized."  A bank that has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or
greater,  a Tier 1  risk-based  capital  ratio of 4.0% or greater and a leverage
ratio of 4.0% or greater  (or a greater  ratio of 3.0% or greater if the bank is
rated  composite  "1" under the CAMEL rating system and is not  experiencing  or
anticipating  significant  growth)  and  does  not  meet  the  definition  of  a
"well-capitalized"  bank is considered to be  "adequately  capitalized."  A bank
that has a total risk-based capital of less than 8.0% or has a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio that is less than 4.0% (or a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%
if the  Bank is  rated a  composite  "1"  under  the  CAMEL  rating  system)  is
considered "undercapitalized." A bank that has total risk-based capital ratio of
less than 6.0%, or a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0% or a
leverage ratio that is less than 3.0% is considered to be

                                       23
<PAGE>
"significantly undercapitalized," and a bank that has a ratio of tangible equity
to total assets (core  capital,  such as common equity  capital,  and cumulative
perpetual  preferred  stock  minus all  intangible  assets,  except for  limited
amounts of purchased  mortgage servicing rights) to assets equal to or less than
2% is deemed to be "critically  undercapitalized." Under the FDIC rule, the FDIC
may  reclassify  a  well-capitalized  bank as  adequately  capitalized,  and may
require an adequately  capitalized  bank or an  undercapitalized  bank to comply
with certain mandatory or discretionary  supervisory actions as if the bank were
in the next lower capital  category  (except that the FDIC may not  reclassify a
significantly undercapitalized bank as critically undercapitalized), if the FDIC
determines  the  Bank is in an  unsafe  or  unsound  condition  or the  Bank has
received  and not  corrected  a less  than  satisfactory  rating  for any of the
categories of asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity.

         An  undercapitalized  institution  is required to submit an  acceptable
capital  restoration  plan to its appropriate  federal banking agency.  The plan
must  specify:  (i) the steps  the  institution  will take to become  adequately
capitalized;  (ii) the capital  levels to be attained  each year;  (iii) how the
institution will comply with any regulatory sanctions then in effect against the
institution;  and  (iv)  the  types  and  levels  of  activities  in  which  the
institution will engage.

         Under FDICIA, an insured  depository  institution cannot make a capital
distribution  (as broadly  defined to include,  among other  things,  dividends,
redemptions and other repurchases of stock) or pay management fees to any person
that controls the  institution if thereafter it would be  undercapitalized.  The
appropriate  federal banking agency,  however,  may (after consultation with the
FDIC) permit an insured depository institution to repurchase,  redeem, retire or
otherwise acquire its shares if such action: (i) is taken in connection with the
issuance of additional  shares or obligations in at least an equivalent  amount;
and (ii) will  reduce  the  institution's  financial  obligations  or  otherwise
improve its financial condition.  An undercapitalized  institution  generally is
prohibited  from  increasing  its  average  total  assets.  An  undercapitalized
institution also generally is prohibited from making acquisitions,  establishing
any branches or engaging in any new line of business  except in accordance  with
an accepted  capital  restoration  plan or with the approval of the  appropriate
federal banking agency. In addition,  the appropriate  federal banking agency is
given authority with respect to any undercapitalized  depository  institution to
take  any of the  actions  it is  required  to or may  take  with  respect  to a
significantly  undercapitalized  institution as described below if it determines
that such actions are necessary to carry out the purpose of FDICIA.

         FDICIA provides that the  appropriate  federal  regulatory  agency must
require   an   insured    depository    institution    that   is   significantly
undercapitalized,   or  is  undercapitalized  and  either  fails  to  submit  an
acceptable capital restoration plan within the time period allowed by regulation
or fails in any  material  respect  to  implement  a  capital  restoration  plan
accepted by the appropriate  federal banking agency,  to take one or more of the
following  actions:  (i) sell a sufficient amount of equity securities to become
adequately  capitalized;  (ii) enter into a business  combination  with  another
institution  (or holding  company),  but only if grounds exist for  appointing a
conservator  or  receiver;  (iii)  restrict  certain  transactions  with banking
affiliates as if the "sister bank" exception to the  requirements of Section 23A
of the  Federal  Reserve  Act ("FRA")  did not exist;  (iv)  otherwise  restrict
transactions with bank or nonbank  affiliates;  (v) restrict interest rates that
the  institution  pays on  deposits  to the rates  offered in the  institution's
market area;  (vi) restrict  asset growth or reduce total  assets;  (vii) alter,
reduce or terminate  activities;  (viii) hold a new election of directors;  (ix)
dismiss any director or senior  executive  officer who held office for more than

                                       24
<PAGE>
180 days immediately  before the institution became  undercapitalized,  provided
that in  requiring  dismissal of a director or senior  officer,  the agency must
comply with certain  procedural  requirements,  including the opportunity for an
appeal; (x) employ "qualified" senior executive  officers;  (xi) cease accepting
deposits  from  correspondent  depository  institutions;  (xii)  divest  certain
non-depository  affiliates  which  pose a danger to the  institution;  (xiii) be
divested by the institution's  holding company;  and (xiv) take any other action
that the agency  determines  would  better  carry out the purposes of the prompt
corrective action provisions.

         In addition to the foregoing  sanctions,  without the prior approval of
the  appropriate  federal  banking  agency,  a  significantly   undercapitalized
institution  may not pay any bonus to any senior  executive  officer or increase
the  rate of  compensation  for such an  officer  without  regulatory  approval.
Furthermore,  in the case of an undercapitalized  institution that has failed to
submit or implement an acceptable  capital  restoration  plan,  the  appropriate
federal banking agency cannot approve any such bonus.

         No  later  than  90  days  after  an  institution   becomes  critically
undercapitalized,  the  appropriate  federal  banking agency for the institution
must appoint a receiver (or, with the  concurrence  of the FDIC, a  conservator)
unless the agency,  as well as the FDIC  concludes that another course of action
would  be  appropriate.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  a  receiver  must  be
appointed after 270 days unless the FDIC concludes that the institution: (i) has
positive net worth; (ii) is in compliance with a capital restoration plan; (iii)
is  profitable  or has a  sustainable  upward  trend  in  earnings;  and (iv) is
reducing  its ratio of  nonperforming  loans to total  loans and the head of the
appropriate  federal banking agency and the FDIC certify that the institution is
viable and not expected to fail.  The FDIC is required by regulation or order to
"restrict the activities" of such critically undercapitalized  institutions. The
restrictions must include prohibitions on the following activities without prior
FDIC  approval:  (i) entering  into any material  transactions  not in the usual
course of business; (ii) extending credit for any highly leveraged transactions;
(iii)  engaging in any "covered  transaction"  (as defined in Section 23A of the
Federal Reserve Act) with an affiliate;  (iv) paying  excessive  compensation or
bonuses;  and (v)  paying  interest  on new or  renewed  liabilities  that would
increase  the  institution's  average  cost of  funds  to a level  significantly
exceeding prevailing rates in the market.

         The Company's  consolidated  capital  ratios at September 30, 1999 were

capital  (to  risk-weighted  assets)  and Tier 1 capital  (to  average  assets),
respectively.

         Conservatorship and Receivership Amendments. FDICIA amended the grounds
for the  appointment  of a  conservator  or receiver  for an insured  depository
institution  to  include  the  following  events:  (i)  consent  by the board of
directors of the  institution;  (ii) cessation of the  institution  status as an
insured depository  institution;  (iii) the institution is undercapitalized  and
has no reasonable prospect of becoming  adequately  capitalized when required to
do so,  fails to  submit  an  acceptable  capital  plan or  materially  fails to
implement an  acceptable  capital plan;  or (iv) the  institution  is critically
undercapitalized  or otherwise has substantially  insufficient  capital.  FDICIA
provides that an institution's directors shall not be liable to its stockholders
or creditors for consenting to the appointment of the FDIC or RTC as receiver or
conservator or to a supervisory acquisition of the institution.

         Other Deposit  Insurance  Reforms.  FDICIA amended the Federal  Deposit
Insurance  Act  to  prohibit  insured  depository   institutions  that  are  not
well-capitalized  from  accepting  brokered  deposits  unless a waiver  has been
obtained from the FDIC. Deposit brokers are required to register with the FDIC.

         Consumer  Protection  Provisions.   FDICIA  enacted  consumer  oriented
provisions including a requirement of notice to regulators and customers for any
proposed  branch  closing and  provisions  intended to encourage the offering of
"lifeline" banking accounts and lending in distressed  communities.  FDICIA also
requires  depository  institutions to make additional  disclosures to depositors
with respect to the rate of interest and the terms of their deposit accounts.

         Uniform Lending  Standard.  Under FDICIA,  the federal banking agencies
are required to adopt uniform regulations  prescribing  standards for extensions
of credit that are secured by liens on  interests in real estate or made for the
purpose of financing the  construction  of a building or other  improvements  to
real estate.  Savings associations must adopt and maintain written policies that
establish  appropriate  limits and standards  for  extensions of credit that are
secured  by liens or  interests  in real  estate or are made for the  purpose of
financing permanent  improvements to real estate.  These policies must establish
loan  portfolio  diversification   standards,   prudent  underwriting  standards
(including  LTV  limits)  that are clear  and  measurable,  loan  administration
procedures,  and documentation,  approval and reporting  requirements.  The real
estate lending  policies must reflect  consideration of the Guidelines that have
been adopted by the federal banking regulators.

                                       26
<PAGE>
         The Guidelines,  among other things, require depository institutions to
establish  internal  loan-to-value  limits for real estate loans that are not in
excess of the following supervisory limits: (i) for loans secured by undeveloped
land, the supervisory LTV limit is 65% of the value of the collateral;  (ii) for
land development  loans,  the supervisory  limit is 75%; (iii) for loans for the
construction of commercial,  multi-family or other nonresidential  property, the
supervisory  limit is 80%; (iv) for loans for the  construction of one- to four-
family  properties,  the supervisory  limit is 85%; and (v) for loans secured by
other  improved  property  (e.g.   farmland,   commercial   property  and  other
income-producing  property  including  non-owner-occupied,  one- to four- family
property) the supervisory limit is 85%.

         The  Guidelines  indicate  that  on a  case-by-case  basis  it  may  be
appropriate  to  originate  or  purchase  loans with LTV ratios in excess of the
supervisory LTV limits,  based on the support  provided by other credit factors.
The aggregate amount of loans in excess of the supervisory LTV limits,  however,
should not exceed 100% of total  capital and the total of such loans  secured by
commercial,  agricultural,  multi-family  and  other  non-one-  to four-  family
residential properties should not exceed 30% of total capital.

         The supervisory loan-to-value limits do not apply to certain categories
of loans including  loans insured or guaranteed by the United States  Government
and its agencies or by financially capable state, local or municipal governments
or  agencies,  loans  backed by the full faith and credit of state  governments,
loans that are to be sold  promptly  after  origination  without  recourse  to a
financially   responsible   party,   loans  that  are  renewed,   refinanced  or
restructured  in connection  with a workout,  loans to facilitate  sales of real
estate  acquired by the  institution in the ordinary course of collecting a debt
previously  contracted  and  loans  where  the real  estate  is not the  primary
collateral.

Accounting

         In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No.  130,  Reporting  Comprehensive
Income.  This statement  establishes  standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive  income  and  its  components  in a full  set  of  general-purpose
financial  statements.  Comprehensive income is defined as "the change in equity
of a business  enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from nonowner sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from  investments by owners and  distributions  to
owners.  Presently,  there are  certain  changes in assets and  liabilities  not
reported in a statement  that reports  results of  operations  for the period in
which they are recognized but instead are included in balances within a separate
component  of equity in a  statement  of  financial  position.  Statements  that
contain these changes include SFAS No. 87,  Employers'  Accounting For Pensions,
and SFAS No. 115,  Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity  Securities.  SFAS No.
130 amends SFAS No. 87 and 115 to require  that changes in the balances of items
that under those  statements  are reported  directly in a separate  component of
equity in a statement of financial position be reported in a financial statement
that is displayed as prominently as other financial  statements.  Items required
by accounting standards to be reported as direct adjustments to paid-in-capital,
retained earnings, or other non-income equity accounts are not to be included as
components of comprehensive  income. SFAS No. 130 was effective for fiscal years
beginning  after  December  15, 1997 with  earlier  application  permitted.  The

Recapitalization of SAIF and Its Impact on SAIF Premiums

         The Bank's  deposits are currently  insured by the Savings  Association
Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"), which is administered by the FDIC. Under the FDIC's
"risk-based"  system each  institution is assigned a deposit  insurance  premium
assessment rate. Until 1995, the risk-based  deposit insurance  premiums paid by
institutions  insured by the SAIF and the Bank  Insurance  Fund (the  "BIF") had
been  assessed  based on  identical  rate  schedules  having the above  range of
premium  assessment  rates.  The SAIF and BIF are each  required  by  statute to
attain,  and thereafter to maintain,  a reserve to deposits ratio of 1.25%.  The
BIF attained its required  reserve level in late May 1995,  because of the BIF's
greater premium revenues while the SAIF has not primarily due to the fact that a
substantial portion of the SAIF premiums is required to be used to repay certain
bonds (the "FICO  Bonds")  issued for the purpose of funding the  resolution  of
failed thrift institutions.

         The  FDIC  had  adopted   amendments  to  its   regulations  to  reduce
substantially the deposit insurance premiums  assessment rate for members of the
BIF to between 0.00% and 0.27%.  With respect to SAIF member  institutions,  the
FDIC  adopted a final  rule to retain  the  existing  assessment  rate  schedule
applicable to SAIF member institutions of 0.23% to 0.31%. As a result, there was
a significant disparity between the assessment rate for BIF and SAIF members. As
long as the deposit rate premium disparity continued,  SAIF-insured institutions
such as the Bank were placed at a significant  competitive  disadvantage  due to
their higher premium costs, and the financial condition of the SAIF could worsen
if its deposit base shrinks as a result of the disparity.

Holding Company Regulation

         General.  The Company,  as the sole  shareholder of the Bank, is a bank
holding company. Bank holding companies are subject to comprehensive  regulation
and regular examinations by the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act ("BHCA"),
and the regulations of the FRB. The FRB also has extensive enforcement authority
over bank  holding  companies,  including,  among other  things,  the ability to
assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to
require  that  a  holding  company  divest  subsidiaries   (including  its  bank
subsidiaries).  In general,  enforcement actions may be initiated for violations
of law and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.

         Under FRB  policy,  a bank  holding  company  must serve as a source of
strength for its subsidiary  bank. Under this policy,  the FRB may require,  and
has required in the past, a holding company to contribute  additional capital to
an undercapitalized subsidiary bank.

                                       28
<PAGE>
         Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain FRB approval before:
(i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares
of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own
or control  more than 5% of such shares  (unless it already owns or controls the
majority of such shares);  (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets
of another bank or bank holding company;  or (iii) merging or consolidating with
another bank holding company.

         The  BHCA  also  prohibits  a  bank  holding   company,   with  certain
exceptions,  from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
5% of the  voting  shares  of any  company  which is not a bank or bank  holding
company,  or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those
of  banking,  managing or  controlling  banks,  or  providing  services  for its
subsidiaries.  The principal  exceptions to these  prohibitions  involve certain
non-bank  activities  which, by statute or by FRB regulation or order, have been
identified as activities  closely related to the business of banking or managing
or  controlling  banks.  The list of  activities  permitted by the FRB includes,
among other things,  operating a savings institution,  mortgage company, finance
company,  credit card  company or  factoring  company;  performing  certain data
processing  operations;  providing  certain  investment  and  financial  advice;
underwriting   and  acting  as  an   insurance   agent  for  certain   types  of
credit-related  insurance;  leasing  property  on a  full-payout,  non-operating
basis; selling money orders,  travelers' checks and United States Savings Bonds;
real  estate and  personal  property  appraising;  providing  tax  planning  and
preparation services; and, subject to certain limitations,  providing securities
brokerage services for customers.

         Dividends. The FRB has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash
dividends by bank holding companies,  which expresses the FRB's view that a bank
holding  company  should pay cash  dividends only to the extent that the holding
company's  net  income  for the past year is  sufficient  to cover both the cash
dividends and a rate of earnings  retention that is consistent  with the holding
company's capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.  The FRB
also indicated that it would be inappropriate for a company experiencing serious
financial  problems to borrow  funds to pay  dividends.  Furthermore,  under the
prompt corrective action regulations  adopted by the FRB, the FRB may prohibit a
bank holding  company from paying any  dividends if the holding  company's  bank
subsidiary is classified as "undercapitalized."

         Bank  holding  companies  are  required  to give the FRB prior  written
notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the
gross  consideration for the purchase or redemption,  when combined with the net
consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12
months,  is  equal  to 10% or more of the  consolidated  net  worth  of the bank
holding  company.  The FRB may  disapprove  such a purchase or  redemption if it
determines that the proposal would  constitute an unsafe or unsound  practice or
would violate any law,  regulation,  FRB order, or any condition  imposed by, or
written agreement with, the FRB. This notification requirement does not apply to
any company that meets the well-capitalized standard for commercial banks, has a
safety and soundness  examination rating of at least a "2" and is not subject to
any unresolved supervisory issues.

Federal Securities Law

         The common stock of the Company is registered  with the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission ("SEC") under the Exchange Act. The Company is also subject
to the information,  proxy solicitation,  insider trading restrictions and other
requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.

                                       29
<PAGE>
         Company  Common  Stock held by persons  who are  affiliates  (generally
officers, directors and principal stockholders) of the Company may not be resold
without  registration,  unless  such  Common  Stock is sold in  accordance  with
certain  resale  restrictions.  If the Company meets  specified  current  public
information  requirements,  each affiliate of the Company is able to sell in the
public  market,  without  registration,  a  limited  number  of  shares  in  any
three-month period.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

         The  Bank  is a  member  of the  FHLB-Chicago,  which  is one of the 12
regional  Federal Home Loan Banks. As a member of the FHLB, the Bank is required
to purchase and maintain  stock in the FHLB in an amount equal to the greater of
1% of its aggregate unpaid  residential  mortgage loans, home purchase contracts
or similar  obligations  at the beginning of each year, or 1/20 (or such greater
fraction as established by the FHLB) of outstanding FHLB advances.  At September
30, 1999, the Bank had $663,900 in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this
requirement.  In past years the Bank has  received  dividends on its FHLB stock.
Over the past two years such dividends have averaged 6.6%, and were 6.5% for the
fiscal years ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  All 12 Federal
Home Loan Banks are  required  by law to provide  financial  assistance  for the
resolution  of troubled  savings  associations  and to  contribute to affordable
housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted
for community  investment and low- and moderate-income  housing projects.  These
contributions  could  cause rates on the FHLB  advances  to  increase  and could
affect adversely the level of FHLB dividends paid and the value of FHLB stock in
the future.

         The FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its
assigned  region.  It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of
consolidated  obligations  of the FHLB System.  It makes loans to members (i.e.,
advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of
directors  of the  FHLB.  These  policies  and  procedures  are  subject  to the
regulation and oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board (the "FHFB").

         FHLB advances are subject to certain  collateral  requirements.  First,
all advances must be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the
FHLB.  Eligible  collateral  consists  of  first  mortgage  loans  fewer  than a
specified number of days  delinquent.  Other forms of collateral may be accepted
as  collateralization  or, under  certain  circumstances,  to renew  outstanding
advances.  All  long-term  advances are required to be used to provide funds for
residential home financing.  In addition,  the FHLB has established standards of
community  service  that  members  must meet to  maintain  access  to  long-term
advances.  In addition,  pursuant to FHLB regulations,  each FHLB is required to
establish  programs for affordable  housing that involve interest subsidies from
the FHLBs on advances to members engaged in lending at subsidized interest rates
for low- and moderate-income, owner-occupied housing and affordable housing, and
certain other community purposes.

                           FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

         Federal  Taxation.  For federal income tax purposes,  the Company,  the
Bank and the  Bank's  subsidiary  will file a  consolidated  federal  income tax
return on a fiscal year basis. The Company and the Bank are subject to the rules
of federal  income  taxation  generally  applicable  to  corporations  under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

                                       30
<PAGE>
         Most corporations are not permitted to make deductible additions to bad
debt reserves under the Code. However, savings and loan associations and savings
banks such as the Bank,  which meet  certain  tests  prescribed  by the Code are
permitted  to  establish  reserves  for bad debts and to make  annual  additions
thereto which may, within specified  formula limits,  be taken as a deduction in
computing taxable income for federal income tax purposes.  The amount of the bad
debt  reserve  deduction  form  "non-qualifying  loans"  is  computed  under the
experience  method. For tax years beginning before December 31, 1995, the amount
of  the  bad  debt  reserve  deduction  for  "qualifying  real  property  loans"
(generally,  loans secured by improved real estate) may be computed under either
the  experience  method or the  percentage of taxable income method (based on an
annual election).  If a savings and loan association or savings bank elected the
latter method,  it could claim,  each year, a deduction based on a percentage of
taxable  income,  without  regard  to  actual  bad debt  experience.  Under  the
experience  method, the bad debt reserve deduction is an amount determined under
a formula based upon the bad debts actually  sustained by the institution over a
period of years.

         Under recently  enacted  legislation,  the percentage of taxable income
method has been repealed for years beginning  after December 31, 1995.  Pursuant
to  this  legislation,  the  Bank  will  continue  to be  permitted  to use  the
experience  method,  but will be required to recapture (i.e.,  take into income)
over a six year period its applicable excess reserves,  i.e., the balance of its
reserves for losses on  qualifying  loans and  non-qualifying  loans,  as of the
close of the last tax year beginning before January 1, 1996, over the greater of
(a) the balance of such reserves as of December 31, 1987 (pre-1988  reserves) or
(b) an amount that would have been the balance of such  reserves as of the close
of the  last tax year  beginning  before  January  1,  1996 had the bank  always
computed the additions to its reserves using the experience method. Postponement
of the  recapture is possible for a two-year  period if an  institution  meets a
minimum  level of mortgage  lending for 1997 and 1998. As of September 30, 1999,
the Bank's bad debt reserve subject to recapture over a four-year period totaled
approximately $78,000.

         If an  institution  ceases to qualify  as a "bank" (as  defined in code
Section  581) or converts  to a credit  union,  the  pre-1988  reserves  and the
supplemental  reserve are  restored to income  ratably  over a six-year  period,
beginning in the tax year the  institution  no longer  qualifies as a bank.  The
balance of the  pre-1988  reserves  are also subject to recapture in the case of
certain excess  distributions  to (including  distributions  on liquidation  and
disillusion), or redemptions of, shareholders.

         Effective  October 1, 1993, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting
for  Income  Taxes."  Under the asset and  liability  method of  Statement  109,
deferred  tax  assets  and   liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax
consequences   attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement
carrying  amounts of existing assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax
bases.  To the extent that current  available  evidence  about the future raises
doubt about the realization of a deferred tax asset, a valuation  allowance must
be  established.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates  expected  to apply to  taxable  income  in the  years in which  those
temporary  differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under Statement
109, the effect on deferred tax assets and  liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

                                       31
<PAGE>
         The Bank is subject to the corporate  alternative  minimum tax which is
imposed to the extent it exceeds the Bank's regular income tax for the year. The
alternative  minimum  tax  will be  imposed  at the  rate of 20% of a  specially
computed tax base.  Included in this base will be a number of preference  items,
including the following:  (i) 100% of the excess of a savings  association's bad
debt  deduction  over the amount that would have been  allowable on the basis of
actual experience; (ii) interest on certain tax-exempt bonds issued after August
7, 1986; and (iii) for years  beginning after 1989 an amount equal to 75% of the
amount  by  which  a  savings  association's  "adjusted  current  earnings"  (as
specially  defined)  exceeds  its  taxable  income  with  certain   adjustments,
including the addition of preference items. In addition, for purposes of the new
alternative  minimum tax, the amount of alternative  minimum taxable income that
may be offset by net operating  losses is limited to 90% of alternative  minimum
taxable income.

         Distributions.   To  the  extent  that  the  Bank  makes   "nondividend
distributions" to the Company,  such  distributions will be considered to result
in  distributions  from the balance of its bad debt  reserve as of December  31,
1987 (or a lesser amount if the Bank's loan portfolio  decreased  since December
31, 1987) and then from the  supplemental  reserve for losses on loans  ("Excess
Distributions"),  and an  amount  based  on the  Excess  Distributions  will  be
included  in  the  Bank's  taxable  income.  Nondividend  distributions  include
distributions  in excess of the Bank's  current  and  accumulated  earnings  and
profits,  distributions  in redemption of stock and  distributions in partial or
complete  liquidation.  However,  dividends  paid out of the  Bank's  current or
accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes,
will not be  considered  to result in a  distribution  from the  Bank's bad debt
reserve.  The  amount  of  additional  taxable  income  created  from an  Excess
Distribution  is an amount  that,  when reduced by the tax  attributable  to the
income,  is equal to the amount of the  distribution.  Thus, if the Bank makes a
"nondividend  distribution,"  then  approximately one and one-half the times the
Excess  Distribution  would be includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes, assuming a 34% corporate income tax rate (exclusive of state and local
taxes).  The Bank does not presently intend to pay dividends that wold result in
a recapture of any portion of its tax bad debt reserve.

         Corporate   Alternative   Minimum  Tax.  The  Code  imposes  a  tax  on
alternative  minimum taxable income ("AMTI") at a rate of 20%. The excess of the
tax bad debt reserve  deduction  using the  percentage of taxable  income method
over the deduction that would have been allowable under the experience method is
treated as a preference  item for purposes of computing  the AMTI.  In addition,
only  90% of AMTI  can be  offset  by net  operating  loss  carryovers.  AMTI is
increased by an amount  equal to 75% of the amount by which the Bank's  adjusted
current earnings exceeds its AMTI (determined  without regard to this preference
and prior to reduction for net operating  losses).  For taxable years  beginning
after  December 31, 1986, and before  January 1, 1996, an  environmental  tax of
0.12% of the excess of AMTI (with  certain  modification)  over $2.0  million is
imposed on  corporations,  including  the Bank,  whether  or not an  Alternative
Minimum Tax is paid.

         Dividends-Received  Deduction.  The Company may exclude from its income
100% of  dividends  received  from the Bank as a member  of the same  affiliated
group of corporations.  The corporate  dividends-received deduction is generally
70% in the case of dividends received from unaffiliated  corporations with which
the Company and the Bank will not file a consolidated tax return, except that if
the  Company  or the  Bank  owns  more  than 20% of the  stock of a  corporation
distributing a dividend, then 80% of any dividends received may be deducted.

         Illinois  Taxation.  The  Company  and the Bank are subject to Illinois
taxation  and file  Illinois  income tax returns.  For  Illinois  income tax and
replacement tax purposes,  the Bank was taxed at a rate equal to 7.13% of income
during 1998. For these  purposes,  "net income"  generally means federal taxable
income,  subject to certain  adjustments  (including  the  addition  of interest
income on state and  municipal  obligations).  The exclusion of income on United
States  Treasury  obligations  has the effect of reducing the  Illinois  taxable
income of savings associations.

                                       32

         The Bank has been  audited  by the  Internal  Revenue  Service  through
August 31, 1984. For additional  information regarding taxation,  see Note 11 of

Dear Stockholders:

This past year is one that will be remembered as that of Y2K preparedness. Under
the direction of our Board, management and staff of Pekin Savings Bank devoted a
great amount of time and resources making sure that we would be ready on January
1, 2000. Along the way we kept our customers informed by holding three community
meetings.  We used these meetings to answer any Y2K questions and also to update
our customers on the procedures we were  implementing to assure a smooth passage
into the year 2000. The most  significant Y2K step taken by Pekin Savings during
the  fiscal  year was the  conversion  of our  on-line  service  along  with the
purchase of new computer  hardware.  The cost of the  conversion  of our on-line
service  along  with the  purchase  of new  computer  hardware.  The cost of the
conversion,  new equipment and other  one-time  expenses  totaled  approximately
$350,000.

Progressive Bancorp, Inc. realized asset growth of $7.0 million or 8.0% over the
previous  fiscal year. As a result of the costs of conversion  and Y2K expenses,
fiscal year net income  decreased  $283,000 from the previous year. Basic income
per share before cumulative  effect of accounting change was $3.03,  compared to
$4.39  last  fiscal  year.  The book  value per share was $42.51 at the close of
fiscal 1999.

The Board of Directors of Progressive  Bancorp,  Inc.  authorized payment of its
third consecutive cash dividend of $1.00 per share, which was paid in June 1999.
This marked the fifth consecutive year that a cash dividend was paid.

We continue  to be well  capitalized  in both our Tier 1 Capital and  Risk-Based
Capital levels. All capital levels exceed the regulatory requirements.

Total  sales of Pekin  Travel  Company,  a  division  of our  subsidiary,  Pekin
Financial  Services,  were $3.2  million.  This  compares to total sales of $3.5
million the previous year.

Mortgage loan  originations  decreased over the previous  fiscal year.  Mortgage
loans  originated were 316 totaling $17.9 million in fiscal year 1999,  compared
to 340  loans  originated  in  fiscal  year  1998 for a total of $20.1  million.
Consumer  loans  were also  down from the  previous  year.  There  were 735 loan
originations  totaling  $8.6  million  for  fiscal  year 1999,  compared  to 744
originations totaling $9.4 million in fiscal year 1998.

At the beginning of our 1999 fiscal year,  the Board of Directors and management
of the company initiated a five-year  strategic  business plan. The plan adopted
will result in the offering of new services to our customers. One feature of our
strategic  plan is to  develop a  commercial  loan  department.  We are happy to
announce  that Pekin  Savings  recently  enlisted the services of Mr.  Andrew J.
Sparks,  Sr.  Vice  President  Loans to develop  the bank's  commercial  lending
services and integrating this with all existing  lending  functions of the bank.
Mr. Sparks has 24 years in banking experience. The past 12 years he has been the
commercial loan officer for a local financial institution.

The Board of Directors and management of Progressive  Bancorp,  Inc. continue to
plan for the future.  We will  continue to explore all  opportunities  that will
lead to mutual benefit of our customers and shareholders.

Happy New Year and have a great 2000!

                                                         /s/Arthur E. Krile, Jr.

                            PROGRESSIVE BANCORP, INC.
                               PEKIN SAVINGS BANK

         Progressive Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation and
the holding  company for Pekin  Savings  Bank.  The Company was organized by the
Bank in the fourth  quarter  of 1997 for the  purpose  of  acquiring  all of the
capital stock of the Bank in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into
the bank holding company structure. The only significant asset of the Company is
the  capital  stock of the  Bank,  and the  business  of the  Company  currently
consists solely of the business of the Bank. All financial information presented
in this Annual Report is the financial data for the Company and the Bank and its
subsidiary on a consolidated basis.

         Pekin  Savings  Bank  is  an  Illinois-chartered   stock  savings  bank
headquartered  in Pekin,  Illinois.  The Bank was founded in 1882 and has been a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System since 1955. Its deposits are insured
up to the regulatory maximum by the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which is
administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  On January 17, 1994,
the Bank converted from an Illinois-chartered savings and loan association to an
Illinois-chartered savings bank.

         The  Bank is,  and  intends  to  continue  to be, a  community-oriented
financial  institution  committed to offering a variety of financial services to
meet the needs of its local  community.  The Bank is  engaged  primarily  in the
business of attracting  deposits from the general public and using such funds to
originate mortgage loans for the purchase of single-family homes in Tazewell and
Mason counties,  Illinois. The Bank also invests in mortgage-backed  securities,
all of which are secured by one- to four-family  residential mortgage loans that
are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal
National Mortgage Association or Government National Mortgage  Association.  The
Bank also makes home equity loans secured by the borrower's  principal residence
and other types of consumer loans such as auto loans and home improvement loans.
To a lesser extent, the Bank makes interim construction loans. Although the Bank
has a small number of commercial real estate loans in its portfolio,  such loans
are not actively  originated by the Bank. In addition to its lending  activities
and investments in  mortgage-backed  securities,  the Bank invests in securities
issued by the United States Government and its agencies.


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

General

         The  Company's  net income is  primarily  dependent on its net interest
income,  which is the  difference  between  interest  income earned on its loan,
mortgage-backed  securities  and  investment  portfolios,  and its cost of funds
consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income also
is   affected  by  the   relative   amounts  of   interest-earning   assets  and
interest-bearing  liabilities.  The Company's net income also is affected by its
provision  for  loan  losses,  as well as the  amount  of  non-interest  income,
including  loan  origination  fees and service  charges and gains on the sale of
securities and loans held for sale, and non-interest  expense,  such as salaries
and employee benefits, deposit insurance premiums, occupancy and equipment costs
and income  taxes.  Earnings of the Company also are affected  significantly  by
general  economic and  competitive  conditions in its market area,  particularly
changes in market interest rates,  government policies and actions of regulatory
authorities.

         The Bank's  current  business  strategy  is to continue to operate as a
well-capitalized,  profitable and independent  community  financial  institution
dedicated to home ownership and to providing  quality  service to its customers.
The Bank intends to implement this strategy by: (1) providing  quality  customer
service by closely  monitoring the needs of its customers;  (2)  emphasizing the
origination  of  residential  mortgage  loans and consumer loans and by offering
other personal  services;  (3) reducing  interest rate risk exposure by matching
asset and liability  maturities and rates; (4) controlling  operating costs; (5)
maintaining asset quality;  and (6) maintaining  capital in excess of regulatory
requirements while controlling growth.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yield/Cost

         The  following  table sets forth  certain  information  relating to the
Company's  average  balance  sheet and reflects the average  yield on assets and
average cost of  liabilities  for the periods  indicated and the average  yields
earned and rates paid.  Such yields and costs are derived by dividing  income or
expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities,  respectively,  for the
periods  presented.  Average  balances  are  derived  from  month-end  balances.
Management does not believe that the use of month-end  balances instead of daily
average  balances  has  caused  any  material   difference  in  the  information
presented.

Results of Operations

         General.  The earnings of the Company depend  primarily on its level of
net interest  income,  which is the difference  between  interest  earned on the
Company's  interest-earning  assets and the  interest  paid on  interest-bearing
liabilities.  Net interest  income is a function of the Company's  interest rate
spread,   which  is  the   difference   between  the  average  yield  earned  on
interest-earnings   assets  and  the  average  rate  paid  on   interest-bearing
liabilities,  as well as a function of the average  balance of  interest-earning
assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income,  which  includes fee income on the
servicing  of loans,  increased  $128,000 or 2.0% to $6.4 million for the fiscal
year ended  September 30, 1999 ("fiscal  1999") from $6.2 million for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998 ("fiscal  1998").  The increase in interest income
resulted from an increase in the average balance of  interest-earning  assets to
$87.5  million for fiscal 1999 from $82.2  million for fiscal 1998.  The average
yield on such assets, however, decreased from 7.60% for fiscal 1998 to 7.29% for
fiscal  1999.  Interest  income  from the  Company's  loan  portfolio  increased
$118,000 or 2.5%, due to a $2.3 million, or 3.8% increase in the average balance
of such assets.  This reflected  continued loan demand in the Company's  primary
lending area as well as management's  strategy of controlled growth. The average
yields on such assets,  however,  decreased  from 8.00% for fiscal 1998 to 7.90%
for fiscal 1999, reflecting lower market interest rates for most of fiscal 1999.
Interest  income  earned  on  the  Company's  investment   securities  portfolio
decreased  $46,000 or 5.6%  reflecting  a decrease  of  $119,000  or 0.9% in the
average balance of such securities as well as a decrease in the average yield of
such  securities  to 6.19% for fiscal 1999  compared  to 6.50% for fiscal  1998.
Interest  income  from  the  Company's   mortgage-backed   securities  portfolio
increased $13,000 or 2.7%, reflecting an increase in the average balance of such
securities  to $8.8 million for fiscal 1999  compared to $7.6 million for fiscal
1998, as management  disbursed proceeds of callable and maturing securities into
adjustable  mortgage-backed  securities.  Interest  income  from  the  Company's
interest-bearing  deposits  increased  $43,000 or 27.7% due to a $1.9 million or
83.1% increase in the average balance of such assets. The average yield on these
assets, however,  decreased to 4.78% for fiscal 1999 from 6.86% for fiscal 1998.
With overall market  interest rates being lower for most of fiscal 1999 compared
to fiscal 1998 and to guard  against  higher  demands  for cash from  depositors
given the approach of the Y2K scenario, it was management's decision to maintain
increased liquid cash funds.

         Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased  $115,000 or 2.9% to $4.1
million  for fiscal  1999 from $3.9  million for fiscal  1998.  The  increase in
interest  expense for fiscal 1999 was due to an increase of $5.8 million or 7.4%
in the average balance of  interest-bearing  liabilities in fiscal 1999 compared
to fiscal 1998.  Partially  offsetting  this increase,  the average rate paid on
interest-bearing  liabilities  decreased to 4.86% for fiscal 1999 from 5.08% for
fiscal 1998. The Company's management continues to employ a strategy of offering
premium rates on selective  term  certificates  of deposits,  offering  periodic
"Specials" on deposit  products,  and not raising interest rates on all its term
certificates  in order to retain its core savings base.  Interest  rates paid on
other types of savings continue to be offered at competitive  rates. The Company
has also used alternative  funding sources  available from the Federal Home Loan
Banking System.  Interest expense on FHLB advances increased  $22,000,  or 4.2%,
for fiscal  1999  compared  to fiscal  1998,  as the  balance  of FHLB  advances
increased  to $11.5  million at September  30, 1999  compared to $9.5 million at
September 30, 1998.

         Net Interest Income. Net interest income is a function of the Company's
interest rate spread,  which is the difference  between the average yield earned
on  interest-earning  assets  and the  average  rate  paid  on  interest-bearing
liabilities,  as well as a function of the average  balance of  interest-earning
assets as compared to interest-bearing  liabilities. Net interest income, before
provision for loan losses, was $2.3 million for fiscal 1999 and $2.3 million for
fiscal 1998. The Company's weighted average yield on all interest-earning assets
decreased  to 7.29% for  fiscal  1999  compared  to 7.60% for fiscal  1998.  The
weighted  average  rate paid on all  interest-bearing  liabilities  decreased to
4.86% for fiscal 1999  compared to 5.08% for fiscal 1998.  Interest  spreads and
net  margins  were  compressed  in fiscal  1999 as  interest  rates on loans and
investment  securities reached near record lows before rising in the latter part
of fiscal  1999.  The Company was not able to follow  this lower  interest  rate

<PAGE>
trend  in  its  savings  deposit  and  certificates  because  of  the  increased
competition from other financial products being offered through the stock market
and mutual and stock fund offerings.

         Provisions for Losses on Loans. The Company  maintains an allowance for
loan losses based upon  management's  periodic  evaluation of known and inherent
risks  in the  Company's  portfolio,  its past  loan  loss  experience,  adverse
situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay loans, estimated value of
underlying loan collateral, and current and expected future economic conditions.
The Company  increased  its provision for loan losses to $19,000 in fiscal 1999,
compared to $14,500 in fiscal 1998. Total allowance for loan losses was $239,000
or 0.38% of net loans  receivable  at September 30, 1999 compared to $228,000 or
0.37% of net loans receivable at September 30, 1998.

         Non-Interest  Income.  The Company's  principal sources of non-interest
income include travel agency fees, service charges on transaction accounts,  net
gains on the sale of  investment  securities  and  loans  held  for  sale,  loan
origination fees and charges for services  offered by the Company.  Non-interest
income decreased by $456,000 or 11.1% to $3.6 million in fiscal 1999 as compared
to $4.1 million in fiscal 1998.  Travel agency fees generated by Pekin Financial
Services, a Company subsidiary, decreased $335,000 or 9.5%, due to a decrease in
sales  volume  and  commissions  received.  The  Company's  gains  from sales of
investment  securities  and loans  held for sale  decreased  $120,000  or 84.0%.
During the past several  years,  gains  recorded on the sale of  mortgage-backed
securities,  other  investments and loans  held-for-sale  have had a significant
positive  impact on non-interest  income and the Company's net income.  However,
the  Company  does not expect to  continue  to  experience  gains on the sale of
investments,  mortgage-backed  securities or loans  held-for-sale  at the levels
reflected  in  previous  years.  In fiscal 1999  market  prices  declined in the
available-for-sale  investment  portfolio and loans  held-for-sale  portfolio as
interest  rates rose during the latter part of fiscal  1999,  compared to fiscal
1998. This caused the decrease in gains on sales of these investment  securities
and loan  held-for-sale.  Loan  origination  fees decreased  $14,000 or 10.2% in
fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998,  reflecting a decrease in loan originations
in fiscal 1999  compared  to fiscal  1998 due to an  increase  in mortgage  loan
rates.

         Non-Interest  Expense.  Non-interest  expense decreased $17,000 or 0.3%
for fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998. The Company's  subsidiary travel agency
cost of sales decreased  $295,000 or 8.8%. After accounting for the gross income
(described  above),  the net income  attributable to the Company's travel agency
decreased  $39,000,   or  26.1%,  for  fiscal  1999  compared  to  fiscal  1998.
Compensation and benefits  increased $94,000 or 9.7% for fiscal 1999 compared to
fiscal 1998.  This was  primarily  due to salary merit  increases of $10,600 for
fiscal 1999.  Also,  cost of insurance on key employees  increased  $85,000,  or
119.2%,  for fiscal 1999  compared to fiscal  1998,  due  primarily to surrender
charges and set up fees associated with a change of insurance carrier.  One time
only costs due to the Company's on-line conversion and Y2K readiness preparation
totaled  $162,000  for fiscal  1999.  Disposal  of  obsolete  on-line  equipment
resulted in a $34,000 write off for fiscal 1999.

         Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased $181,000, or 41.4% for fiscal 1999
compared  to fiscal  1998.  The  decrease  was due to a decrease  of $431,000 in
income  before  income  taxes and  cumulative  effect  of  change in  accounting
principle for fiscal 1999 compared to fiscal 1998.
<PAGE>
         Net Income.  Net income decreased  $283,000,  or 40.3%, for fiscal 1999
compared to fiscal 1998.  The decrease was due to lower  non-interest  income in
fiscal 1999  attributable to lower fees generated by the Company's travel agency
subsidiary,  as well as lower net gains on sales of  investment  securities  and
loans  held-for-sale  in fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal  1998.  The lower net
income  was also due to the  effect  of  expensing  organizational  costs of the
Company in fiscal 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company is required to maintain  minimum levels of liquid assets as
defined by regulations of the Illinois  Commissioner  of Savings and Residential
Finance (the "Commissioner") and the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation (the
"FDIC").  This  requirement,  which  varies  from time to time,  depending  upon


                                       10
<PAGE>
economic  conditions and deposit  flows,  is based upon a percentage of deposits
and  short-term  borrowings.  The  required  ratio  currently is 5%. The Company
historically  has  maintained a level of liquid  assets in excess of  regulatory
requirements,  and the Bank's liquidity ratio averaged 16.6% during the month of
September  1999.  The  Company  adjusts  its  liquidity  levels in order to meet
funding  needs for deposit  outflows,  payment of real estate  taxes on mortgage
loans  escrowed  for,  repayment  of  borrowings,   when  applicable,  and  loan
commitments.  The Company also  adjusts  liquidity  as  appropriate  to meet its
asset/liability objectives.

         The Company's  primary sources of funds are deposits,  amortization and
prepayment  of loans and  mortgage-backed  securities,  maturities of investment
securities  and other  short-term  investments,  proceeds from the sale of loans
held for sale,  investment  securities and mortgage-backed  securities and funds
provided from  operations.  The Company  utilizes FHLB of Chicago  advances as a
source of funds. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed  securities  repayment
is a relatively  predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments
are greatly  influenced  by general  interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and
competition.  The  Company  manages  the  pricing of its  deposits to maintain a
steady  deposit  balance.  In  addition,  the Company  invests  excess  funds in
short-term  interest-earning  assets,  which  provide  liquidity to meet lending
requirements.  Short-term  assets  outstanding  at September 30, 1999, and 1998,
amounted to $4.4 million, and $3.9 million, respectively.

         Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management.  Excess liquidity is generally  invested in short-term  investments,
such as interest-bearing deposits with the FHLB of Chicago. If the Bank requires
funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist
with the FHLB of  Chicago,  which  provide  an  additional  source of funds.  At
September 30, 1999, the Bank had $11.5 million of outstanding  advances from the
FHLB of Chicago.

         At  September  30,  1999,  the  Bank  had  outstanding   mortgage  loan
commitments of $474,000. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year
or less at September 30, 1999, totaled $30.7 million. Management believes that a
significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

         The 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 operating


                                       11
<PAGE>
results  in terms of  historical  dollars,  without  considering  changes in the
relative  purchasing  power of money over time due to  inflation.  The impact of
inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike
most  industrial  companies,  virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the
Company are monetary.  As a result,  interest rates have a greater impact on the
Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. In the
current interest rate environment,  liquidity and the maturity  structure of the
Company's  assets and  liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable
performance levels.

Asset and Liability Management

         The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the
extent to which such assets and liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by
monitoring  an  institution's  interest  rate  sensitivity  "gap."  An  asset or
liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if
it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity
gap is defined as the difference between the amount of  interest-earning  assets
maturing  or  repricing  within  a  specific  time  period  and  the  amount  of
interest-bearing  liabilities  maturing or repricing  within that time period. A
gap is considered  positive when the amount of interest  rate  sensitive  assets
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive  liabilities.  A gap is considered
negative  when the amount of interest  rate  sensitive  liabilities  exceeds the
amount of interest rate  sensitive  assets.  During a period of rising  interest
rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income while a
positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.  During
a period of falling  interest  rates,  a negative gap would tend to result in an
increase in net  interest  income  while a positive  gap would tend to adversely
affect net-interest income.

         At September 30, 1999, total  interest-bearing  liabilities maturing or
repricing  within one year exceeded total  interest-earning  assets  maturing or
repricing  in the  same  period  by $47.6  million,  representing  a  cumulative
negative one-year gap ratio of 52.4%. Accordingly, based on the gap model below,
in a rising interest rate environment,  the Company's  net-interest income would
be adversely  affected.  The Bank has an Asset-Liability  Management  Committee,
which is responsible for reviewing the Bank's assets and liability policies. The
Committee meets and reports quarterly to the Board of Directors on interest rate
risks and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements.

Year 2000 Considerations

         As the year 2000 approaches,  a significant  business issue has emerged
regarding how existing  software  programs and operating systems can accommodate
the date value for the year 2000.  Many existing  software  products,  including
products used by the Company and its suppliers and  customers,  were designed to
accommodate  only a two-digit  value,  which  represents  the year. For example,
information  relating  to the year 1996 is  stored  in the  system as "96." As a
result,  the year 1999 (i.e.,  "99") could be the maximum  date value that these
<PAGE>
systems will be able to process  accurately.  In response to concerns about this
issue,  regulatory  agencies have begun to monitor holding companies' and banks'
readiness  for the year 2000 as part of the  regular  examination  process.  The
Company  presently  believes that with  modifications  to existing  software and
conversion  to new  software,  the year  2000  issue  will not pose  significant
operational problems for the Company's business operations.  To date, management
believes the systems  conversion  finalized  in November  1998 brought its major
operating  system into year 2000  compliance  status.  In addition,  the Company
outsources its computer systems to a third party supplier,  who has informed the
Company that it is year 2000 compliant.  Implementation



                                       13
<PAGE>
of the  Company's  plan to test  in-house  and  out-sourced  software  has  been
underway  since the first  quarter of 1998.  Total  compliance  for all systems,
including  the  Company's  outsourced  computer  systems,  has  been  completed.
Management estimates that such compliance cost $162,000. The plan implementation
team is responsible for progress and will continue to provide a status report to
the board of directors on a monthly basis through December 31, 1999. However, if
such  modifications  and conversions are not made, or are not completed  timely,
the year 2000 issue could have a material  adverse  impact on the  operations of
the  Company.  The  Company  has in place a  contingency  plan in the  event its
outsourced  computer  systems are not year 2000 compliant on a timely basis.  In
addition,  there can be no assurance that  unforeseen  problems in the Company's
outsourced  computer  systems will not have an adverse  effect on the  Company's
systems  or  operations.  The  Company  does  not  have  sufficient  information
accumulated  from  customers to enable the Company to assess the degree to which
customers' operations are susceptible to potential problems relating to the year
2000 issue.

                         Independent Auditor's Report

Board of Directors
Progressive Bancorp, Inc.
Pekin, Illinois

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Progressive
Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries  (Company) as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, and
the related consolidated  statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements
are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an  opinion  on these  consolidated  financial  statements  based on our
audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  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 Progressive Bancorp,
Inc.  and  subsidiaries  as of September  30, 1999 and 1998,  and the results of
their  operations  and their cash flows for the years then ended,  in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

On October 10,  1997,  the  stockholders  approved the  reorganization  of Pekin
Savings,  s.b. (Bank) into a holding company form of ownership to which the Bank
became a wholly owned subsidiary of Progressive Bancorp, Inc. (Company), a newly
formed Delaware  corporation,  and each outstanding share of common stock of the
Bank was exchanged for one share of common stock of Progressive Bancorp, Inc. On
November  6,  1997,  the  reorganization  was  completed.  The  transaction  was
accounted  for  in  a  manner  similar  to  the  pooling-of-interest  method  of
accounting.

The stockholders  also approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of
the Bank to  change  the name of the Bank from  Pekin  Savings,  s.b.  to "Pekin
Savings Bank."

The Bank is an Illinois  chartered savings bank located in central Illinois.  On
September  29,  1992,  the  Bank  converted  from a  mutual  to a stock  form of
ownership and completed its initial  public  offering.  On January 27, 1994, the
former Pekin Savings and Loan Association  converted from an Illinois  chartered
stock savings and loan association to an Illinois  chartered savings bank, Pekin
Savings  Bank.  The Bank is engaged  primarily  in the  business  of  attracting
deposits  from the  general  public and using such funds to  originate  mortgage
loans for the purchase of  single-family  homes in Tazewell and Mason  Counties,
Illinois.

The  accounting  and  reporting  policies of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries
conform to generally  accepted  accounting  principles and to general  practices
within the banking industry.

The  following  is a  description  of the more  significant  policies  which the
Company  follows  in  preparing  and  presenting  its   consolidated   financial
statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Pekin Savings Bank and Pekin Financial  Service
Corporation.  All material  intercompany  transactions  and  balances  have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers
interest-bearing  deposits and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Money Market Investments, Investment Securities, and Mortgage-Backed Securities

Money market investments include short-term liquidity funds.

Mortgage-backed   securities  represent  participating  interests  in  pools  of
long-term  first  mortgage  loans  originated and serviced by the issuers of the
securities.  Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed  securities are amortized
using the level-yield method over the remaining period to contractual  maturity,
adjusted for anticipated prepayments.

The  Company  classifies  its  debt  and  equity  securities  into  one of three
categories:

     Held-to-Maturity  -  includes  investments  in debt  securities  which  the
     Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity.

     Trading  Securities - includes  investments  in debt and equity  securities
     purchased  and held  principally  for the  purpose of  selling  them in the
     near-term.

     Available-for-Sale - includes investments in debt and equity securities not
     classified as  held-to-maturity  or trading  (i.e.,  investments  which the
     Company has no present  plans to sell in the  near-term  but may be sold in
     the future under different circumstances).

Debt securities  classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost in
which the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded using
the  level-yield  method.  Unrealized  holding  gains  and  losses  for  trading
securities (for which no securities were so designated at September 30, 1999 and
1998)  are  to  be  included  in  income,   while  such  gains  and  losses  for
available-for-sale  securities  are to be excluded from income and reported as a
net amount as a separate  component  of  stockholders'  equity  until  realized.
Unrealized  holding gains and losses for  held-to-maturity  securities are to be
excluded  from  income  and   stockholders'   equity.   For   available-for-sale
securities, gains or losses are realized and included in noninterest income upon
sale, based on the amortized cost of the individual  security sold. All previous
market value  adjustments  included in the separate  component of  stockholders'
equity are reversed upon sale.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage  loans  originated  and intended for sale in the  secondary  market are
carried at the lower of cost or  estimated  market value in the  aggregate.  Net
unrealized  losses are  recognized  through a valuation  allowance by charges to
income.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

Loans Receivable

First mortgage loans and other loans that  management has the intent and ability
to hold for the  foreseeable  future or until maturity or payoff,  are stated at
unpaid  principal  balances,  less  unearned  discounts  and net  deferred  loan
origination fees.

Loan fees and certain direct loan  origination  costs are deferred,  and the net
fee or cost is  recognized  in income  using  the  level-yield  method  over the
contractual  life  of  the  loans.  Calculation  of  level-yield  is  done  on a
loan-by-loan basis.

The Bank grants primarily  residential loans to customers in the immediate Pekin
area.  Thus,  a  substantial  portion of its  debtors'  ability  to honor  their
contracts is dependent upon the local  agribusiness and  manufacturing  economic
sectors.

Discounts  on other loans are  recognized  over the lives of the loans using the
level-yield method.

Accrual of interest on impaired loans,  normally  greater than 90 days past due,
is excluded  from income by an offsetting  increase in a specific  allowance for
loss, when, in the opinion of management, such suspension is warranted.

Provisions  for losses on first  mortgage loans and real estate sold on contract
are charged to operations  when the loss becomes  probable and estimable,  based
upon the  Bank's  past loan loss  experience,  known  and  inherent  risk in the
portfolio,  estimated  values of the  underlying  collateral,  and  current  and
prospective economic conditions.

In  addition,  various  regulatory  agencies,  as  an  integral  part  of  their
examination  process,  periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses.
Such  agencies may require the Bank to recognize  additions to the allowance for
loan losses based on their judgment of information available to them at the time
of their examination.

Real Estate Owned

Real estate properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are to be
sold  and are  initially  recorded  at the  lower  of cost  or fair  value  less
estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure  (based upon appraisal or the
Bank's estimate).  Subsequent  valuation  adjustments are made if the fair value
less estimated costs to sell the property falls below the carrying amount. Costs
of developing and improving such properties are capitalized. Expenses related to
holding such real estate,  net of rental and other income,  are charged  against
operations as incurred.

Premises and Equipment

Depreciation of premises and equipment is recorded using the  straight-line  and
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)

Income Taxes

deferred  tax  assets  and   liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax
consequences   attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement
carrying  amounts of existing assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax
bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected  to apply to  taxable  income  in the  years in which  those  temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax
assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that  includes the enactment  date.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Income Per Share

Basic  income per share is computed  based upon the weighted  average  number of
common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period.  Diluted  income  per share is
computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period plus the shares that would be  outstanding  assuming  the exercise of the
dilutive stock options.

Accounting Change

Costs incurred in the organization of the Company totaled  $63,304.  These costs
were being amortized on a  straight-line  basis over a period of five years from
the date of the commencement of operations of the Company.  Amortization expense
recorded  in 1998  totaled  $9,496.  On  October  1, 1998,  in  accordance  with
Statement of Position 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up  Activities,  the
Company  elected to expense  the  remaining  unamortized  balance of $53,808 for
organization  costs  incurred  in the  formation  of the bank  holding  company,
Progressive Bancorp, Inc.

Comprehensive Income

The  Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board  issued  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 130,  Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,  in June 1997.
Statement 130 establishes  standards for reporting and display of  comprehensive
income  (as  defined)  in a full set of  general-purpose  financial  statements.
Statement 130 requires  classification of items of other comprehensive income by
their nature in a financial  statement and display of the accumulated balance of
other comprehensive  income separately from retained earnings and surplus in the
equity  section of the  balance  sheet.  The  Company has only one item of other
comprehensive  income  and has  elected  to report  comprehensive  income in the
consolidated    statements   of   changes   in   stockholders'    equity,   with
reclassification of 1998 amounts.

NOTE 12 - Retained Earnings - Substantially Restricted

Retained earnings at September 30, 1999 and 1998 includes approximately $719,000
and $753,000,  respectively,  for which no provision for Federal  income tax has
been made. This amount  represents  allocations of income to bad debt deductions
for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than
tax bad debt losses  will create  income for tax  purposes  only,  which will be
subject to the then current corporate income tax rate.

NOTE 13 - Employee Retirement Plans

All eligible employees are included in a noncontributory multi-employer trusteed
pension plan.  The Bank's policy is to fund pension  costs  accrued.  No pension
contributions  were required during 1999 and 1998. The amount of  administrative
pension expense in 1999 and 1998 was $-0- and $2,198, respectively.

The Bank has a multiple-employer  thrift plan for all salaried employees meeting
minimum  age and  service  requirements.  The plan  allows  employees  to make a
monthly  contribution  of 2 to  15  percent  of  their  salary  through  payroll
deduction.  The Bank matches 50 percent of the employee's  contribution  up to 6
percent of the employee's  salary.  Thrift plan expense  amounted to $21,519 and
$17,958 for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.


NOTE 14 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The  Company  and Bank are subject to various  regulatory  capital  requirements
administered by the federal and state banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum
capital  requirements can initiate certain  mandatory - and possibly  additional
discretionary - actions by regulators  that, if undertaken,  could have a direct
material effect on the Company's  financial  statements.  Under capital adequacy
guidelines  and the  regulatory  framework  for prompt  corrective  action,  the
Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the assets,  liabilities,  and  certain  off-balance-sheet  items as
calculated  under  regulatory  accounting  practices.  The  Company's and Bank's
capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative  judgments by
the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation to ensure  capital  adequacy
require the Company and Bank to maintain  minimum  amounts and ratios (set forth
in the  following  table)  of  total  and  Tier I  capital  (as  defined  in the
regulations)  to  risk-weighted  assets (as defined),  and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management  believes,  as of September
30, 1999,  that the Company and Bank meet all capital  adequacy  requirements to
which they are subject.

As of  September  30,  1999 and 1998,  the most  recent  notifications  from the
Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  categorized the Bank as well capitalized
under the regulatory  framework for prompt corrective  action. To be categorized
as well capitalized the Company and Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based,
Tier I risk-based,  and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There
are no conditions or events since that  notification  that  management  believes
have changed the Company's or Bank's category.

NOTE 15 - Conversion to Stock Ownership

On September 29, 1992,  the Bank  converted  from a mutual savings and loan to a
capital  stock  savings  and loan.  The Bank  consummated  a public  offering of
164,487 shares of common stock which generated net proceeds,  after expenses and
underwriters' cost, of $1,317,411.

For purposes of granting to eligible account  holders,  who continue to maintain
deposit  accounts  subsequent  to the  conversion,  a priority in the event of a
complete  liquidation  of the  Bank,  the Bank has,  at the time of  conversion,
established  a  liquidation  account in an amount  equal to its  appraised  fair
market  valuation.  The  value of the  liquidation  account  at  conversion  was
approximately  $2,526,000.  The  liquidation  account is  reduced  by  depositor
account  withdrawals  subsequent  to the  conversion  date.  The  balance of the
liquidation  account at September 30, 1999 was  approximately  $682,000.  In the
unlikely  event of a complete  liquidation  of the Bank, and only in such event,
each  eligible  account  holder  would be  entitled  to  receive  a  liquidation
distribution  on a pro  rata  basis  from the  liquidation  account  before  any
liquidation distribution may be made with respect to capital stock. The Bank may
not declare or pay a cash dividend on, or  repurchase  any of, its capital stock
if the  effect  thereof  would  cause the  retained  earnings  of the Bank to be
reduced below the amount required for the liquidation  account.  Except for such
restrictions, the existence of the liquidation account does not restrict the use
of or application of retained earnings.

NOTE 16 - Stock Option Plan

In connection with the conversion to a capital stock form of ownership, the Bank
adopted a stock option plan.  Pursuant to the plan, 6,462 shares of common stock
have been  reserved  for  issuance at  September  30,  1999 by the Company  upon
exercise of stock  options to officers,  directors  and employees of the Company
from time to time  under the plan.  The plan  provides  for a term of ten years,
after which no awards may be made.

Officers, directors, and employees will be eligible to receive options under the
plan. The option price may not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value
of the  shares on the date of the  grant,  and expire ten years from the date of
the grant. the Company has granted options to certain officers,  directors,  and
employees at option prices of $10.00 and $21.00 per share.

Transactions with respect to the Company's stock option plan are as follows:

During the year  ended  September  30,  1999,  there  were no  options  granted,
exercised, or cancelled.

At  September  30,  1999,  the  exercise  price and  weighted-average  remaining
contractual life of outstanding options was $10.00 and 3 years, respectively.

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in the accounting
for its plan.  Accordingly,  no compensation  cost has been recognized under APB
Opinion 25 in 1999 and 1998 for its stock  option plan.  Since no stock  options
were  granted  during  1999 and 1998,  pro forma net income and income per share
amounts reflecting  compensation costs determined under SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation is not presented.

NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107,  Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial  Instruments,  requires
disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not
recognized in the balance  sheet,  for which it is  practicable to estimate that
value.  In cases where quoted market prices are not  available,  fair values are
based on estimates  using present  value or other  valuation  techniques.  Those
techniques are  significantly  affected by the assumptions  used,  including the
discount  rate and estimates of future cash flows.  In that regard,  the derived
fair value  estimates  cannot be  substantiated  by  comparison  to  independent
markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the
instrument.  SFAS  No.  107  excludes  certain  financial  instruments  and  all
nonfinancial  instruments  from its  disclosure  requirements.  These fair value
disclosures  are not  intended to  represent  the market  value of the  Company.
Income taxes and  transaction  costs have not been considered in estimating fair
values.

The  following  methods and  assumptions  were used by the Company in estimating
fair values of financial instruments:

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 18 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Cash and Short-term Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term  instruments  approximate their fair
value.

Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Securities

Fair values for securities, excluding restricted equity securities, are based on
quoted  market  prices.  The carrying  values of  restricted  equity  securities
approximate fair values.

Loans Receivable

For adjustable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change
in credit  risk,  fair  values are based on  carrying  values.  Fair  values for
fixed-rate  loans are  estimated  using  discounted  cash flow  analyses,  using
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers
of similar credit  quality.  Fair values for impaired loans are estimated  using
discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposits

The fair values  disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition,  equal to the
amount  payable  on demand  at the  reporting  date  (that  is,  their  carrying
amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using
a discounted cash flow  calculation  that applies interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated  expected monthly maturities
on time deposits.

Borrowed Funds

The fair values of the Company's  long-term debt are estimated using  discounted
cash flow analyses based on the Company's  current  incremental  borrowing rates
for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

NOTE 19 - YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company presently  believes that with modifications to existing software and
conversion  to new  software,  the Year  2000  issue  will not pose  significant
operational problems for the Company's business operations.  To date, management
believes the system's  conversion  finalized in November  1998 brought its major
operating  system into Year 2000  compliance  status.  In addition,  the Company
outsources its computer systems to a third party supplier,  who has informed the
Company  that  it is  Year  2000  compliant.  The  plan  implementation  team is
responsible  for  progress and will  continue to provide a status  report to the
Board of Directors on a monthly basis  through  December 31, 1999.  However,  if
such  modifications  and conversions are not made, or are not completed  timely,
the Year 2000 issue could have a material  adverse  impact on the  operations of
the  Company.  The  Company  has in place a  contingency  plan in the  event its
outsourced  computer  systems are not Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis.  In
addition,  there can be no assurance that  unforeseen  problems in the Company's
outsourced  computer  systems will not have an adverse  effect on the  Company's
systems or operations.





            This information is an integral part of the accompanying
                       consolidated financial statements.
