* Interest income and yield on tax-exempt securities are not                
  reflected in the tables on a tax-equivalent basis. Net yield on    
  interest-earning assets is net interest divided by total average          
  interest-earning assets.

** Principal balances on nonaccruing loans, if any, are included in

                    Interest Rate Repricing Gaps

The management of interest rate sensitivity is accomplished by monitoring the
maturities and repricing opportunities of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. Amounts are positioned into rate maturity
periods based upon contractual or historical experience of frequency of
repricing the respective assets and liabilities. The following table
summarizes the interest rate repricing gaps for selected maturity periods as
of December 31, 1995:

</TABLE>

Total interest-earning assets exceeded interest-bearing liabilities by
$109,660,000 at December 31, 1995. This difference was funded through
noninterest-bearing liabilities and stockholders' equity. The above table
shows that total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within
one year exceed interest-earning assets maturing or repricing by
$25,773,000. Theoretically, in a period of rising interest rates, it is
preferable to have a positive gap (interest-earning assets in excess of
interest-bearing liabilities) because more interest-earning assets should
mature or reprice within a given time period than interest-bearing
liabilities to increase interest income in excess of the increase in interest
expense. Conversely, theoretically, in a period of declining interest rates,
it is preferable to be in a negative gap position (interest-bearing
liabilities in excess of interest-earning assets) because more interest-
bearing liabilities should mature or reprice to lower interest expense in
excess of the decline in interest income. Because assets and liabilities do
not reprice in exactly the same manner as interest levels change, the above
table should not be viewed as a sole indicator of how the Bancorp will be
affected by changes in interest rates.

  Commercial, financial, and agricultural loans due after one year in the
amount of $31,353,000 at December 31, 1995 have floating or adjustable
interest rates.  Such loans with fixed rates totaled $27,468,000.  Real
estate construction loans due after one year in the amount of $6,316,000 
have floating or adjustable interest rates.  Such loans with fixed rates 
totaled $1,268,000.  Floating or adjustable interest rate loans are those 
on which the interest rate can be adjusted to changes in the prime rate or 
other rate changes.  Fixed rate loans are those on which the interest rate 
cannot be changed for the term of the loan.

Risk Elements        

    Nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans include, respectively,
loans on which no interest is currently being accrued, accruing loans 
which are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest 
payments and loans neither in nonaccrual status nor 90 days delinquent
status on which the terms of maturity or interest rate have been
renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or 
principal payments, due to a deterioration in the financial position 
of the borrower. It is management's general policy to discontinue the
accrual of interest on a loan when it is past due 90 days with regard 
to either interest or principal payments.  At any given date,  
Bancorp's subsidiaries may have various loans outstanding, which are
accruing interest, are not contractually past due more than 90 days, 
and are not renegotiated, but which, in management's opinion, may not 
be repaid according to original terms; these are shown below as 
"potential loan problems".  Management periodically reviews these 
loan accounts and is of the opinion that, although some restructuring 
of loan terms may be required, no material loss of principal will occur.
    
    The following is a summary of loans described above at the dates
indicated, in thousands of dollars:

(1)Loans in this category represent those which have been periodically
delinquent as to the payment of principal and interest and are vulnerable
to current adverse economic conditions.  The collateral position of
Bancorp's subsidiaries on these loans mitigates the amount of loss exposure
when viewed in their entirety. There were no foreign outstandings or loan
concentrations at the dates indicated.  Amounts for Potential Loan Problems
for 1993, 1992, and 1991 have not been restated for the inclusion of Bank of

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure 

    On February 3, 1995, the Corporation notified its previous independent
accountants, Coopers & Lybrand, L.L.P. ("Coopers & Lybrand") that Coopers &
Lybrand would not be retained as the Company's independent accountants for
the 1995 fiscal year.  The decision to change independent accountants was
recommended by the Corporation's Audit Committee and approved by the
Board of Directors.  

   Coopers & Lybrand's report on the Corporation's financial statements
during the two most recent fiscal years in which Coopers & Lybrand was 
retained contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinions, and was 
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.  During those two fiscal years, there were no disagreements
between the Corporation and Coopers & Lybrand on any matters of accounting 
principles, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

   None of the "reportable events" described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Regulation S-K") occurred during those two fiscal years.  In addition,
during those two fiscal years, the Corporation did not consult Ernst &
Young regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i)
and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS

To Our Stockholders:

 For Old Second Bancorp, Inc., 1995 was an excellent year. Most of our banks 
met or exceeded their goals -- a tribute to our dedicated employees and the 
unique organization of our holding company which allows each bank to serve 
their individual markets.
 We again set new records for total assets, loans, income, dividends and 
book value per share. Details of these achievements are set forth in the 
following report, but some of the highlights are listed below (all financial 
information has been restated to include Bank of Sugar Grove):

 Net income after taxes for 1995 was the highest in history with net earnings
of $8,823,000, up 20.9% from record earnings of $7,298,000 in 1994.

 Total assets at year end 1995 were $760,730,000, a 7.4% increase from 
$708,196,000 at year end 1994.

 Net loans outstanding increased from $350,661,000 in 1994 to $393,327,000 
at December 31, 1995, a 12.2% increase.

 Stockholders' equity, a measure of safety and soundness, grew to 
$75,418,000, resulting in a capital to asset ratio of 9.9%.

 Cash dividends declared increased from $.82 per share in 1994 to $.91 per 
share in 1995. This makes the 29th consecutive year of increased cash
dividends declared.

 Return on average assets was 1.22% and return on average equity was 12.8%.

 Old Second Bancorp stock bid and ask prices have narrowed considerably 
during the last quarter of 1995. The difference between the bid/ask price 
is now typically $2.00 a share spread as compared to as high as $6.00 a 
share in 1994. The last sale of the year, as reported in the NASDAQ section 
of the Wall Street Journal, was $45.00 per share with a bid and ask price 
of $45.00 and $47.00 per share, respectively, at December 31, 1995.

 Our Trust Department also had an exceptional year. In June, we opened a new 
Trust office in Geneva to expand our operations in the Tri-City area. In
September, we merged the Kane County Bank's Trust Department into Old Second 
National's Trust Department. It is our intent to keep The Old Second
National Trust Office in Elburn. This merger will enable that office to 
provide full and expanded Trust services to that area. Assets held in our 
Trust Department now exceed $500,000,000. Trust fees for the first time
exceeded $3,000,000, an increase of 11.7% over 1994.
 
 During 1995, interest rates on government bonds and tax exempt investments 
dropped considerably. This decline in interest rates had a reverse effect 
from one year ago when the market value of the portfolio was substantially 
under book value; as of December 31, 1995, the market value is substantially 
greater than the book value. Our policy regarding our investment portfolio 
has not changed; it is our intent to hold our bonds to maturity rather than 
engage in trading.

 A year ago, I announced that we had signed a Letter of Intent to purchase 
the Bank of Sugar Grove. This purchase was completed on June 30, 1995. We 
believe this acquisition fits in well with our long range plans of expansion 
along the Route 47 corridor and is an integral part of our market strategy.

 We are pleased with the growth of the five branches within our network. 
In fact, in response to the growing needs of the customers at our Batavia 
branch, an addition which doubled the size of that facility was completed
in 1995.

 We are continuing to look at potential acquisitions and opportunities to 
expand. Our strong capital position enables us to expand and grow sensibly 
in the local market areas which we understand. As part of this ongoing 
expansion, we have an option to purchase property in the Oswego market where 
we plan to build a new branch of Old Second National in 1996. With this
expansion, we will have 13 locations and 3 Trust offices to support our 
Valley-Wide Banking Network.

 In 1995, substantial resources were expended to upgrade our Data Processing 
capabilities. We have committed to further software and hardware upgrading
in 1996 so that state of the art services will be assured for all our banking 
customers. This includes expansion of our cash management services, debit 
cards and contemporary Trust reporting and additional investment vehicles. 
Our continuing goal is to provide technology driven services and, in that 
regard, to stay competitive with money center and super regional banks.

 As we look forward to Old Second National's 125th Anniversary in 1996 and 
further to the Millennium, we are focusing our attention on core banking 
services and strengthening relationships with our customers and the 
communities we serve. With our "Valley Wide" banking, we make it possible 
for customers to bank at any of our twelve full-service locations, as well 
as our numerous ATM locations, at their convenience. Our objective is to 
stay in touch with customers' needs, provide basic 


Page 2                         Page 26

<PAGE>

services and, where appropriate, provide new and innovative banking programs.

 Senior management is encouraged by the number of employees that participate 
in the various educational programs we provide. These learning opportunities
provide self satisfaction for employees and also make for a well rounded 
staff. We would like to express our gratitude to our employees for their 
commitment and hard work, our customer base for their account relationships, 
our directors for their guidance and our stockholders for their ongoing 
loyalty.


  Sincerely,




  /s/ James Benson
  James Benson
  Chairman

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Old Second 
Bancorp, Inc. (the Corporation) and its subsidiary banks, all of which are 
wholly owned.

 On June 30, 1995, 208,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock were 
issued to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of Bank of Sugar 
Grove (Sugar Grove). The acquisition was accounted for as a 
pooling-of-interests; accordingly, all financial information for prior 
periods has been restated to include the accounts and results of operations 
of Sugar Grove. Sugar Grove had total assets of $42,565,000 at June 30, 1995.

 At December 31, 1995, consolidated total assets of $760,730,000 are 
$52,534,000 (7.4%) higher than year-end 1994. Gross loans of $399,505,000 
are up $42,486,000 (11.9%) and deposits of $669,291,000 increased by
$37,405,000 (5.9%).

 The Corporation's market has grown due to expansion and business and 
residential development. The demand for real estate loan products, both 
commercial and residential, remains strong as Aurora has been one of the 
top markets for housing starts in Illinois since 1990 while the entire 
market area continues to grow. The Corporation continues to offer 
competitive loan products including Commercial Real Estate and Adjustable
Rate Residential Mortgages which is evidenced by the increase in Real Estate 
Mortgage loans, up $28,636,000 (17.8%) from year-end 1994. Commercial, 
financial and agricultural loans increased $14,692,000 (11.6%).

 From year-end 1994, Demand and Savings remained substantially unchanged 
while Time deposits increased $46,548,000 (18.6%) as depositors appear to be 
taking advantage of rates on Certificates of Deposits. The funds available 
from the increase in deposits were used to meet loan demand.

 To meet the needs of our growing markets, Management continues to add 
locations as well as update products and services. The Corporation which 
currently has twelve locations and three trust offices plans to continue 
expanding its facilities.

The Old Second National Bank has an option to acquire property in Oswego; 
plans are to execute the option and build a branch in 1996. The Corporation 
introduced Overdraft Protection and Cash Management programs during 1995 and 
will be introducing its `BANKCARD ATM/Debit Card` in 1996. The expansion of 
facilities and the introduction of new products provides better service for 
our customers.

 Net income for 1995 of $8,823,000 was up $1,525,000 (20.9%) from 1994 
following an increase of $291,000 (4.1%) in 1994 over 1993.

 Net interest income for 1995 of $28,497,000 was up $1,466,000 from 1994 
due to volume following an increase of $1,766,000 in 1994 over 1993, also 
due primarily to volume.

 Management's quarterly review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan 
losses and the amount of the provision for loan losses needed is based on 
various factors, such as the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, 
historical loss experience, and changes in economic conditions. The 
Provision for Possible Loan Losses for 1995 totaled $303,000 compared 
to $555,000 in 1994 and $1,492,000 in 1993. The results of operations 
in 1994 include a $384,000 Provision for Possible Loan Losses related to 
Sugar Grove. In 1993, a significant increase in the provision for loan 
losses was due to a one-time major loan charge-off at Kane County, a 
portion of which was recovered in 1994. The subsidiaries realized net loan
charge-offs of $380,000 in 1995 compared to net recoveries of $727,000 in 
1994 and net charge-offs of $1,619,000 in 1993.

 Total Other Income for 1995 of $6,786,000 increased $212,000 over 1994 
following an increase of $34,000 in 1994 over 1993. Trust fees of $3,050,000 
in 1995 were at record high levels compared to $2,731,000 in 1994 and 
$2,496,000 in 1993. Service Charges on Deposit Accounts of $2,498,000 remain 
substantially the same as 1994 following a gain of $144,000 in 1994 over 
1993. Secondary Mortgage Fees were $352,000 for 1995, $550,000 in 1994 and 
$942,000 in 1993. The declines in 1995 and 1994 result from a reduction in
mortgage originations from refinancing because in 1993 a large number of 
customers took advantage of declining interest rates to refinance. Other 
Income - Other in 1995 of $886,000 is an 11.3% increase over the 1994 total 
of $796,000; the 1994 total was $47,000 higher than 1993. The 1995 increase
results from a premium received on the sale of a portion of the student loan 
portfolio.

 Total Other Expenses for 1995 of $22,834,000 were down $338,000 from 1994 
following an increase of $1,636,000 in 1994 over 1993. Salaries and Employees
Benefits were $12,255,000 in 1995 and $11,759,000 in 1994, an increase of
$496,000. Inflation and increases in personnel contributed to the increased 
salaries and benefits.

 Net Occupancy of Bank Premises for 1995 is $1,602,000, up $49,000 from the 
1994 amount of $1,553,000 which was substantially the same as the 1993 level.
1995 includes additional costs for the expansion of Old Second National's
Batavia branch and remodeling at Kane County Bank and Trust.

 Furniture and Equipment costs were $1,967,000 for 1995 compared to 
$2,129,000 in 1994 and $1,828,000 in 1993. In 1994, additional costs were 
incurred as upgrades were made to the personal computer network.

 FDIC Insurance was $726,000 in 1995 as compared to $1,317,000 in 1994 and 
$1,235,000 in 1993. The decrease in 1995 was due to an FDIC insurance rate 
reduction which was effective June 1, 1995. The increase in 1994 was due 
entirely to higher deposit levels.

 Marketing costs for 1995 were $823,000 compared to $940,000 in 1994 and 
$727,000 in 1993. Marketing expenses were higher in 1994 than in 1995 and 
1993 because of higher discretionary marketing and community involvement 
expenses. Stationery and Supplies costs of $738,000 in 1995 were up
$94,000 from 1994. The increase in 1995 was due to both price and volume 
increases. Stationery and Supplies costs of $644,000 in 1994 were relatively 
unchanged from the 1993 amount of $627,000.

 Other Expenses - Other were $4,207,000 in 1995, $107,000 lower than 1994 
expenses of $4,314,000 which were up $409,000 from 1993.

 Income Tax Expense results in effective tax rates for 1995, 1994 and 1993 
of 27.4%, 26.1% and 20.2%, respectively. The Corporation adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, `Accounting for Income Taxes`, 
in the first quarter of 1993 which resulted in a tax benefit of about
$153,000 in 1993 and a decrease in the effective tax rate for that year. The 
increase in the effective tax rate for 1994 from 1993 is attributable to two 
components: adoption of SFAS No. 109 in 1993 and a decrease in Interest Exempt 
from Federal Income Taxes.

 The Corporation has not adopted SFAS No. 121, `Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of`, which 
prescribes the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, such as 
property, plant and equipment; identifiable intangibles; and goodwill related 
to those assets. Adoption by the Corporation is not required until 1996
and is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's financial 
position or results of operations. The Corporation intends to adopt this 
standard during 1996.

 In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 
No. 123, `Accounting for Stock Based Compensation`, which will apply to the 
Corporation's Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under SFAS No. 123, the Corporation 
may elect to measure compensation cost for the Long-Term Incentive Plan
using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting 
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25. The Statement will require additional 
disclosures relating to the Long-Term Incentive Plan. As the Corporation 
plans to elect to use the accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25,
adoption of SFAS No. 123 which is not required until 1996 is not expected to 
have a material effect on the Corporation's financial position or results of 
operations.

Liquidity
 Liquidity is generally defined as the ability to meet cash flow 
requirements. For a bank, meeting cash flow requirements means having funds 
available to satisfy customers' borrowing needs as well as having funds 
available to meet depositors' withdrawal requests. For the parent company, 
liquidity means having funds available to pay cash dividends and operating
expenses. Liquid assets consist primarily of non-interest bearing and 
interest bearing deposits, overnight federal funds sold and unpledged 
investment securities. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows included with 
the financial statements herein sets forth the cash flows from operating, 
investing and financing activities for the various time periods.

 For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, Cash Provided by 
Operating Activities resulted in cash inflows of $11,204,000, $16,329,000 
and $10,138,000, respectively. Net cash inflows were higher in 1994 than 
in 1995 and 1993 because 1994 included a $6,581,000 reduction in mortgages 
held for resale. Generally, cash inflows result primarily from interest
received less interest paid and amounts paid to suppliers and employees. For 
1995, Interest Received amounted to $52,708,000, Interest Paid was 
$23,322,000 and the amount Paid to Suppliers and Employees was $20,934,000. 

For 1994,Interest Received totaled $45,740,000, Interest Paid was $18,310,000
and amounts Paid to Suppliers and Employees totaled $20,974,000. For 1993, 
Interest Received totaled $45,181,000, Interest Paid was $18,515,000 and 
amounts Paid to Suppliers and Employees totaled $19,339,000.

 The primary components of Cash Flows from Investing Activities are funding 
and repayment of customer loans and purchases, sales and maturities of 
investment securities. The net cash outflows from investing activities were 
$39,758,000, $46,549,000 and $44,639,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, 
respectively. For 1995, net increases in loans resulted in a cash outflow of 
$42,306,000; whereas, net investment activity caused an inflow of $3,398,000.
During 1994, net increases in loans resulted in a net outflow of $25,813,000 
while net investment activity resulted in a cash outflow of $19,011,000.
For 1993, cash outflows of $20,151,000 resulted from net increases in loans 
while net investment activity was responsible for cash outflows of 
$23,382,000. Capital Expenditures resulted in cash outflows of $1,501,000 in 
1995, $1,269,000 in 1994 and $1,082,000 in 1993. Expenditures in 1995 include
an addition to Old Second National Bank's Batavia branch which doubled the 
size of that facility.

 Cash Flows from Financing Activities are primarily attributable to 
fluctuations in deposit levels and, to a lesser degree, fluctuations in other
short-term borrowings and the payment of dividends to stockholders. Cash 
Flows from Financing Activities provided net cash inflows of $35,050,000, 
$40,452,000 and $34,705,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Deposit
growth for the reported periods has resulted in net cash inflows of 
$37,405,000, $43,893,000 and $39,966,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 
Payments of Notes Payable totaled $40,000 in 1995, $3,128,000 in 1994 and 
$1,070,000 in 1993. Dividends paid to stockholders were $1,970,000 in 1995,
$1,714,000 in 1994 and $1,938,000 in 1993.

 The net effect of the cash flows was an increase in Cash and Cash 
Equivalents from $68,519,000 at year-end 1993 to $78,751,000 at year-end 1994
and a further increase to $85,247,000 at year-end 1995. Management feels that 
adequate liquidity has been maintained to meet cash flow requirements and is 
not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that will have, or that 
are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the Corporation's or any 
subsidiaries' liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Interest Rate Risk
 The management of interest rate sensitivity is accomplished by monitoring 
the maturities and repricing opportunities of interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities. Amounts are positioned into rate maturity 
periods based upon contractual or historical experience or frequency of 
repricing the respective assets and liabilities. Theoretically, in a period 
of rising interest rates, it is preferable to have what is commonly known as
a positive gap (interest-earning assets in excess of interest-bearing 
liabilities) because more interest-earning assets should mature or reprice 
within a given time period than interest-bearing liabilities to increase 
interest income in excess of the increase in interest expense. Conversely, in 
a period of declining interest rates, it is preferable to be in a negative gap 
position (interest-bearing liabilities in excess of interest-earning assets)
because more interest-bearing liabilities should mature 

Page 5                      Page 29

<PAGE>


or reprice resulting in lower interest expense in excess of the decline in 
interest income. Because assets and liabilities do not reprice in exactly the 
same manner as interest rates change, the theory described above should not be 
used as the sole indicator of how the Corporation would be affected by changes 
in interest rates.

 The Corporation has set specific guidelines to manage its cumulative gap 
position. If necessary, Management can shorten loan maturities, price loans 
with variable rates, purchase investment securities with short maturities or 
attract longer term certificates of deposits to manage the gap position of 
the Corporation. The effect on earnings and capital position would be 
considered when making decisions to manage the gap position.

 At December 31, 1995, interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing 
within one year exceed interest-earning assets maturing or repricing by 
about $25,773,000. The capital position of the Corporation is adequate to 
provide sufficient equity for any unexpected adverse effect of changing 
interest rates.

 Many organizations use financial derivative products to provide greater 
flexibility in managing interest rate risk. Derivative financial instruments 
derive their value from the performance of assets, interest or currency 
exchange rates, or indexes. Derivative products include a wide assortment of
financial contracts including structured notes, swaps, futures, options, 
forwards and various combinations thereof. These products vary greatly with 
respect to complexity and risk. The Corporation has invested in several types 
of structured notes that are classified as derivatives. All structured notes 
held by the Corporation are debt securities issued by U.S. Government 
Agencies. The Corporation has the ability to hold these investment securities
to maturity and intends to do so; therefore, any unrealized gains or losses 
resulting from price fluctuations are considered temporary and are not 
expected to be realized by the Corporation. However, the Corporation has 
classified these securities as available-for-sale as they may be sold in 
response to needs for liquidity, changes in market rates and related 
prepayment risk. At December 31, 1995, the Corporation held approximately 
$31,459,000 of structured notes at amortized cost of which $22,693,000 
mature in one to five years and $8,766,000 mature in five to ten years.

Capital and Dividends
 Total Stockholders' Equity increased during 1995 as a result of net income 
of $8,823,000, the change in net unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale
securities of $7,143,000 less dividends declared to stockholders of $2,149,000. 
Available-for-Sale Securities are reported at market value on the Balance
Sheet with the Net Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments reported as a 
separate component of Stockholders' Equity. Since the Corporation generally 
holds investment securities until maturity, the net unrealized gain (loss) 
resulting from market fluctuations is considered temporary and is not expected
to be realized.

 Stockholders' Equity before Net Unrealized Gain on Investments at 
December 31, 1995 is 9.7% of Total Assets, up from 9.5% at year-end 1994. 
The equity to asset ratio including the effect of Net Unrealized Gain (Loss) 
on Investments is 9.9% at December 31, 1995, up from 8.7% at year-end 1994. 
The equity to asset ratios (leverage ratios) continue to be maintained
at adequate levels. During 1995, the Corporation declared dividends of $.18 
per share during the first and second quarters, $.20 per share during the 
third and fourth quarters and a year-end extra dividend of $.15 resulting in a 
total for the year of $.91. In 1994, the Corporation declared four quarterly 
dividends of $.18 per share and a year-end extra dividend of $.10, resulting
in a total of $.82.

 The Federal Reserve Board has established risk-based capital guidelines 
which include minimum capital requirements. The capital ratios are determined 
by weighing assets and off-balance sheet exposures according to their 
designated relative credit risks. Certain classes of preferred stock and equity 
capital, net of certain adjustments for intangible assets and investments
in non-consolidated subsidiaries, are considered Tier 1 (core) capital.

Tier 2 (total) capital consists of core capital plus subordinated debt, some 
types of preferred stock and an adjustment for Allowance for Possible Loan 
Losses. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the minimum total and core risk-based 
capital ratios were 8.0% and 4.0%. As of December 31, 1995, the Corporation's
total and core risk-based capital ratios were 16.0% and 14.8%, respectively. 
Total and core risk-based capital ratios were 15.8% and 14.6%, respectively, 
at December 31, 1994.

Effects of Inflation
 The financial statements presented herein are prepared using historical 
dollars except for investment securities which are presented at market value.
Inflation affects the operating results in the cost of operating expenses and 
the pricing of services. Management closely monitors expenses and the pricing 
of services so as to control expenses and adjust service fees in view of 
inflationary trends. Changes in inflation rates also affect the rates earned
on assets and the rates paid on liabilities. The asset/liability management 
program will generally compensate for these effects over a given time period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Old Second Bancorp, Inc., and Subsidiaries

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Old Second Bancorp, Inc. 
(the Corporation) and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted 
accounting principles and to general practice within the banking industry.
Certain 1994 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 
presentation. The following is a description of the more significant of 
these policies:


Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Old Second 
Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: The Old Second National 
Bank of Aurora, The Old Second Community Bank of North Aurora, The Old Second 
Community Bank of Aurora, Yorkville National Bank, Burlington Bank, Kane 
County Bank and Trust and Bank of Sugar Grove. All significant intercompany 
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Corporation is a multi-bank holding company, principally engaged in the 
business of attracting deposits and investing these funds, together with 
borrowings and other funds, to primarily originate commercial, real estate 
and consumer loans, and purchase investment securities. The bank conducts its 
activities from a network of offices in Kane, Kendall and DuPage Counties.


Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to take estimates and assumptions 
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying 
notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash 
on hand, cash due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds
are purchased and sold for one-day periods.


Investment Securities
The Corporation and its subsidiaries generally purchase securities for 
investment purposes. On January 1, 1994, the Corporation prospectively adopted 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for 
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". In accordance with SFAS 
No. 115, investment securities are classified in three categories and accounted
for as follows: (1) held-to-maturity - reported at amortized cost; (2) trading
securities - reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
included in current earnings; and (3) available-for-sale securities - reported 
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from current earnings 
and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are recognized at the 
time of the transaction and are determined by the specific identification 
method.


Loans
Interest on installment loans made on a discounted basis is generally 
recognized as income using the interest method. Interest on all other loans is 
recorded as earned.

It is Management's policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any 
loan when there is reasonable doubt as to the timely collectibility of interest
or principal.


Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
The allowance for possible loan losses is increased by provisions charged to 
operating expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries, and is 
available for losses incurred on loans.

The provision for possible loan losses is computed based on Management's 
judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses after 
considering such factors as the volume and character of the portfolio, general 
economic conditions and past loan loss experience.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation was required to adopt SFAS No. 114, 
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". Under SFAS No. 114, a loan 
is considered impaired when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the 
present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's 
original effective rate. However, as a practical expedient, Management measures
impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The adoption 
of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial 
position or results of operations.

Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation 
and amortization. Depreciation is computed over estimated useful lives of ten 
to forty years for premises and five to ten years for furniture and equipment 
principally by the use of accelerated depreciation methods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

OLD SECOND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Bank Premises and Equipment (continued)
Expenditures for maintenance and repair are expensed as incurred and 
expenditures for major renovations are capitalized. The cost of property 
retired or otherwise disposed of is applied against the related accumulated 
depreciation to the extent thereof, and any gain or loss on disposition is 
recognized at the time of disposal.


Real Estate Owned (REO)
REO initially is recorded at the lower of net book value or fair value, less 
estimated costs to sell. The excess of net book value over fair value at the 
foreclosure date is charged to the allowance for possible loan losses. 
Subsequent to foreclosure, any gain or loss on disposition is recognized at 
the time of disposal.


Trust Department Revenue
Trust Department income is recorded principally on a cash basis, which does 
not result in a material difference from the accrual basis.


Retirement Plan Costs
The Corporation uses the "projected unit credit" actuarial method for financial
reporting purposes and the entry age cost method for the funding of the 
qualified plan.


Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Corporation accounts for its Long-Term Incentive Plan in accordance with 
APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Under APB 
Opinion No. 25, as the exercise price of the Corporation's employees' stock 
options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant,
no compensation expense is recognized.


Income Taxes
The Corporation provides for income taxes using the liability method. Under 
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities representing differences 
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are 
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the 
differences are expected to reverse. Deferred taxes arise because certain 
transactions affect the determination of taxable income for financial reporting
purposes in periods different from the period in which the transactions affect
taxable income for tax return purposes. Current tax expense is provided based 
upon the actual tax liability incurred for tax return purposes.


Per Share Amounts
Net income per share amounts are based upon the weighted average number of 
shares of Common Stock outstanding during each reported period. Prior year 
amounts have been restated to reflect the acquisition of Bank of Sugar Grove.


Excess Purchase Price Over Fair Value Of Net Assets Acquired
The excess purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired is 
included in other assets and is amortized into other expenses on a 
straight-line basis over fifteen years.

NOTE B - ACQUISITION

On June 30, 1995, 208,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock were issued 
to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of Bank of Sugar Grove. 
The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests; accordingly, 
all financial information for prior periods has been restated to include the 
accounts and results of operations of Sugar Grove.

Operating results of the Corporation and Sugar Grove for the six months ended 
June 30, 1995 prior to the combination were as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>


NOTE C - CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

The subsidiaries maintain compensating cash balances under informal 
arrangements with their respective correspondents for services received. In 
addition, The Old Second National Bank of Aurora (Old Second) and Yorkville 
National Bank (Yorkville) are required to maintain certain average reserve 
balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. During 1995, average reserve balances 
with the Federal Reserve Bank were $427,000 and $26,000 for Old Second and 
Yorkville, respectively.

Certain employees participating in the defined benefit plan are also covered by
an unfunded supplemental retirement plan. The purpose of this plan is to extend 
full retirement benefits to individuals without regard to statutory 
limitations for qualified funded plans. The following table sets forth the 
status of this supplemental plan:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

                                        for the years ended December 31,
                                                 1995       1994

Accumulated benefit obligation                   $361       $295
Projected benefit obligation for 
  service rendered to date                        361        295
Accrued pension liability                          91         43
Net periodic pension expense                       48         43

</TABLE>

The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present 
value of the projected benefit obligations was 6.75% at December 31, 1995, 
7.50% at December 31, 1994 and 6.75% at December 31, 1993. The expected 
long-term rate of return on assets was 8.00% for each of the three years. The
assumed rate of increase in future compensation levels was 4.50% for 1995 and 
1994, and 4.75% for 1993.

The subsidiaries of the Corporation have contributory and non-contributory 
Profit Sharing Plans covering substantially all of their respective full-time 
employees. The amounts expensed with respect to these Profit Sharing Plans were
$515,000 in 1995, $443,000 in 1994, and $414,000 in 1993.

NOTE K - LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

The Corporation has a Long-Term Incentive Plan under which stock options and 
stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees at the discretion of 
the Board of Directors. During 1995, 7,100 options were granted at an 
exercise price of $39 per share, and 7,100 options were granted at an 
exercise price of $46 per share. The exercise price of these options was 
equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the grant date. These 
options expire in 2005. No stock appreciation rights have been granted to 
date.

NOTE L - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and 
contingent liabilities which are not reflected in the financial statements. 
Commitments and contingent liabilities include financial instruments which 
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity 
risk. In the opinion of Management, these do not represent unusual risks for 
the Corporation's subsidiaries and Management does not anticipate any 
significant losses as a result of these transactions. The Corporation uses 
the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations 
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Standby letters of credit 
outstanding at December 31, 1995, are approximately $5,612,000. Firm 
commitments by the Corporation's subsidiaries to fund loans in the
future are approximately $106,479,000 as of December 31, 1995. There are 
various other outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities arising in 
the normal course of business. Disposition of these, in the opinion of 
Management, will not have a material effect upon financial position.

NOTE M - DIVIDEND LIMITATION

Under certain banking regulations, regulatory approval is required before 
dividends declared by the Corporation's subsidiary Banks can exceed defined 
limits. At December 31, 1995, $10,737,000 of retained earnings of subsidiary
Banks are free of such regulatory limitations. There are no such restrictions
regarding the Corporation. As a practical matter, dividend payments are 
restricted to lesser amounts as a result of the maintenance of prudent capital 
levels.

NOTE N - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Number 107, "Disclosures About Fair 
Value Of Financial Instruments" requires that the Corporation disclose 
estimates, methods, and assumptions used in determination of the fair values
of the Corporation's financial instruments, as set forth below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
and Other Short-Term Borrowings

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate 
of fair value.

Investment Securities

For investment securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices or 
dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is 
estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial 
characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, commercial 
real estate, residential mortgage, credit card, and other consumer. Each loan 
category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms. 
Cash flows are discounted using current rates at which similar loans would be
made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining 
maturities.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market 
deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value 
of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future 
cash flows at rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining 
maturities.

Notes Payable

Rates currently available to the Corporation for debt with similar terms and 
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

OLD SECOND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTE N - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
 
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to 
enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For
fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of 
letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or 
on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations 
with the counterparties at the reporting date.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Corporation's financial 
instruments are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


ERNST & YOUNG LLP         SEARS TOWER                    PHONE: 312-879-2000   
                          233 SOUTH WACKER DRIVE
                          CHICAGO, ILLINOIS  60606-6301


                      Report of Independent Accountants   
                      ---------------------------------


Stockholders and Board of Directors
Old Second Bancorp, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Old Second
Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and 
cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Old Second Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1995, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

We also have audited, as to combination only, the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of Old Second Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and the 
related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1994.  As described in Note B to such statements, these statements have
been combined from the statements of Bank of Sugar Grove and Old Second
Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (which statements are not presented
separately herein).  The balance sheet of Old Second Bancorp, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and the related consolidated 
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994 were audited
and reported on separately by other auditors, whose report appears elsewhere
herein.  The balance sheet of Bank of Sugar Grove as of December 31, 1994
and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, 
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
1994 are not covered by an auditors report.  Such financial statements
are immaterial to the restated pooled financial statements.  In our opinion,
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 and
the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1994, have been properly combined onthe basis described in 
Note B.

                                 By Order of the Board of Directors

                     Old Second Bancorp, Inc.
      37 South River Street / Aurora, IL  60507 /(708)892-0202

                         Proxy Statement

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the 
Board of Directors of Old Second Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Corporation"), 37 South River Street, Aurora, Illinois 60507, of proxies to 
be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation to be held 
at the Corporation's premises at 37 South River Street, Aurora, Illinois on 
March 12, 1996 at 11:00 a.m., Central Standard Time, and at any and all 
adjournments thereof.

A form of proxy is enclosed for use at the meeting. If the proxy is executed 
and returned, it may nevertheless be revoked at any time insofar as it has not 
been exercised. Stockholders attending the meeting may, on request, vote their 
own shares even though they had previously sent in a proxy. Unless revoked or
instructions to the contrary are contained in the proxies, the shares 
represented by validly executed proxies will be voted at the meeting and will 
be voted: (i) for the election of the nominees for director named below; (ii) 
for the ratification and approval of the selection of Ernst & Young, L.L.P. as 
the Corporation's independent accountants for the fiscal year ended 
December 31, 1996; (iii) for the amendment of the Corporation's Certificate of 
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, 
without par value; and (iv) in the discretion of the named proxies upon such 
other matters as may properly come before the meeting or at any adjournment or 
adjournments thereof.

In order to be elected a director, a nominee must receive a plurality of the 
votes cast at the meeting for the election of directors. Since the six nominees
receiving the largest number of affirmative votes will be elected, shares 
represented by proxies which are marked "withhold authority" or "abstain" will 
have no effect on the outcome of the election. Approval of each of the other 
matters requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast 
at the meeting on such matter. Shares represented by proxies which are marked
"abstain" as to any such matter will be counted as votes cast, which will have 
the same effect as a negative vote on such matter. Proxies relating to
"street name" shares which are not voted by brokers on one or more, but less 
than all, matters will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining 
the presence of a quorum but will not be treated as votes cast as to such 
matter or matters not voted upon.

A copy of the Corporation's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended 
December 31, 1995, which includes certified financial statements, has been 
previously mailed to you. The financial statements contained therein are not 
deemed material to the exercise of prudent judgment in regard to any matter to 
be acted upon at the Annual Meeting and, therefore, such financial statements 
are not incorporated in this Proxy Statement by reference. This Proxy Statement
was mailed to stockholders on or about February 9, 1996.

     
         Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof


Only holders of Common Stock of record at the close of business on February 2, 
1996 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At such 
date, the Corporation had outstanding 2,350,165 shares of Common Stock without 
par value. Each share of Common Stock entitled the holder to one vote upon 
each matter to be voted at the meeting.

persons shown below and the Trust Department of The Old Second National Bank 
of Aurora ("Old Second") owned beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding

                      Election of Directors

Under the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors 
is divided into three classes, approximately equal in number. Each year the
stockholders will be asked to elect the member of a class for a term of three 
years.  The six nominees named below have been recommended for election as 
Directors for a term ending at the Annual Meeting in 1999 or until their 
successors are elected.

The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees 
will not be available for election. However, if any such nominees are not 
available for election, proxies may be voted for the election of other 
persons selected by the Board of Directors.

Walter Alexander, a director of the Corporation, is also a director of 
Mosinee  Paper Corporation, a corporation with a class of securities 
registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
or subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of that Act or 
registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act 
of 1940.

Upon attaining age 70, an elected director would assume the status of a 
Senior Director for a period of three years. Every Senior Director has a 
right to attend all Board of Director meetings and Board of Director 
Committee meetings to which they are appointed and to participate in all 
discussions during such meetings. However, a Senior Director does not have 
the right to vote on any matter.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has established Audit and Nominating 
Committees, as well as other Committees, to assist it in the discharge of its
responsibilities. The principal responsibilities of the Audit and Nominating 
Committees are described below. The members of each Committee serve on the 
respective Committees during the period between annual stockholders' meetings. 
The Corporation does not have a Compensation Committee, since compensation 
levels are determined by the Board of Directors of each subsidiary of the 
Corporation. The Corporation's executive officers also are executive officers 
of Old Second, and are compensated by Old Second rather than the Corporation; 
accordingly, their compensation is determined and approved by the Compensation 
Committee and Board of Directors of Old Second. 

The members of the Corporation's Audit Committee during 1996 were Messrs. 
Alexander, McCarter, McKee, and Schuster. Each year, such Committee recommends 
to the Board the appointment of a firm of independent accountants to examine 
the books of the Corporation. It reviews with representatives of the 
independent accountants the auditing arrangement and scope of the independent 
accountants' examination of the books, results of those audits, their fees, 
and any problems identified by the independent accountants regarding internal 
controls, together with their recommendations. The Committee also reviews with 
the Corporation's internal auditors any problems identified by them regarding
internal controls and their recommendations. The Committee is also prepared 
to meet privately at any time at the request of the independent accountants, 
the internal auditors, or members of the Corporation's management to review 
any special situation arising on any of the above subjects. The Committee
met six times during 1995.

<PAGE>

The members of the Corporation's Nominating Committee during 1995 were Messrs. 
Alexander, Benson, Carlson, Maberry, McKee, Schuster, Skoglund, Starmann, and,
prior to attaining mandatory retirement age in August 1995, Mr. Edward Schmitt. 
The Committee reviews the qualifications of, and recommends to the Board,
candidates to fill Board vacancies as they may occur during the year. The 
Nominating Committee will consider suggestions from all sources, including 
stockholders, regarding possible candidates for director. Such suggestions, 
together with appropriate biographical information, should be submitted to the 
Corporation. The Committee met twice during 1995. 

The Board of Directors of the Corporation held 12 meetings during 1995. Actions 
taken by any Committee of the Board are reported to the Board of Directors,
usually at its next meeting. During 1995 all of the directors attended at least 
75% of the aggregate of the Corporation's Board of Directors meetings and 
meetings of the committees on which they served.

All persons who serve as directors of the Corporation also serve as 
directors of Old Second. No fees are paid by the Corporation to the 
directors in their capacity as directors of the Corporation, and no fees 
are paid by Old Second to inside directors in their capacity as directors 
of Old Second. During 1995, Old Second paid directors' fees to outside 
directors consisting of a $3,500 annual retainer fee, $250 for each 
Board of Director meeting attended, and $200 for each Committee meeting 
attended.

              Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
 
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Old Second has 
furnished the following report on executive compensation.

The Corporation's executive officers are also executive officers of Old Second 
and are compensated by Old Second (not the Corporation); accordingly, their 
compensation is determined and approved by the Compensation Committee and Board
of Directors of Old Second. The members of the Compensation Committee and Board 
of Directors of Old Second are Directors of both the Corporation and Old 
Second. The members of the Compensation Committee during 1995 were Walter 
Alexander, Gary McCarter, and Alan Rassi. Although the executive officers are 
compensated by Old Second and their compensation is determined by the 
Compensation Committee of Old Second, their scope of authority for management 
of the Corporation, as well as Old Second, is an important consideration by 
the Committee when establishing compensation.


                Compensation Philosophy and Overall Objectives

The Corporation's mission is to maximize stockholder value over the long term. 
To accomplish this mission, the Corporation has developed a comprehensive 
business strategy that emphasizes superior financial products and customer 
services. The Corporation believes its executive compensation program should 
motivate its executives to both individually and collectively take actions 
that support the attainment of this mission. 

The program of executive compensation is intended to reflect the following 
stated executive compensation policies:

    The program of executive compensation should strengthen the 
    relationship between pay and performance by providing compensation 
    that is dependent upon the level of success in meeting specified 
    Corporate goals.

    Compensation opportunities should enhance the Corporation's ability 
    to attract, retain, and encourage the development of exceptionally
    knowledgeable and experienced executives upon whom, in large part, 
    the successful operation and management of the Corporation depends.

    Each program element should target compensation levels at rates that 
    are reflective of current market practices. Offering market-comparable
    pay opportunities should allow the Corporation to maintain a stable, 
    successful management team.

<PAGE>

                     Elements of Executive Compensation

                             (a) Base Salaries

Annually, the Compensation Committee reviews each executive's base salary. It is
the Corporation's philosophy that base salaries offer security to executives 
and allow the Corporation to attract competent executive talent and maintain 
a stable management team. The Compensation Committee of Old Second targets 
base salaries at market levels, though compensation may be adjusted above or 
below the median based on company performance. Initially, base salaries are 
determined by evaluating an executive's level of responsibility, prior 
experience, education, breadth of knowledge, internal performance objectives, 
and competitive compensation programs for senior executives at comparable banks.

Adjustments to base salaries are driven primarily by corporate performance 
measured primarily in terms of earnings per share, return on equity and 
assets, and enhancement of book value per share. When measuring individual 
performance, the Compensation Committee considers the executive's efforts in 
achieving established financial and business objectives, managing and developing
employees, and enhancing long-term relationships with customers. 

As reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, the Chief Executive Officer's 
(Mr. Benson's) base salary was increased in 1995. In determining Mr. Benson's
base salary in 1995, the Compensation Committee considered the Corporation's 
financial performance for the year, Mr. Benson's individual performance, and 
his long-term contributions to the success of the Corporation. The Compensation
Committee also compared Mr. Benson's base salary to the base salaries of bank 
CEOs from various data sources. Overall, salary increases for the three
additional senior executives were at a rate comparable to the increases provided
to similar executives at other banks, as shown by the survey data.

                               (b) Stock Options

To establish a link between compensation and management's performance in 
creating value for shareholders, top level management employees were granted 
stock options during 1995 pursuant to the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan 
as approved by shareholders in 1994. To reinforce the Company's long-term 
perspective and to help retain valued executives, these options vest ratably 
over the three-year period following grant. Options are issued at the market 
value of Company shares on the date of grant, thus providing reward only for 
future stock price appreciation. Future grants of option awards are expected to
be reviewed on an annual basis.

13                             Page 71

<PAGE>

The 1995 grant of stock options to Mr. Benson was determined primarily by 
comparing the long-term incentive opportunities awarded to CEOs at various banks
of similar size. Mr. Benson, as well as other top level management employees, 
received a stock option grant comparable to the long-term incentive opportunity
granted to individuals with the same or similar position at these banks.

             (c) Benefits, Qualified Savings Plans, and Perquisites

Benefits offered to key executives serve a different purpose than does base 
salary and other elements of compensation. In general, they provide a safety 
net of protection against financial catastrophes that can result from illness,
disability, or death. Benefits offered to key executives, including those 
provided to the Corporation's CEO are generally those offered to the general 
employee population with some variation to promote tax efficiency and 
replacement of benefit opportunities lost to regulatory limits.

All full-time employees, including Mr. Benson, are eligible to participate 
in the Corporation's 401-K Savings Plan, Profit Sharing Plan, and a 
tax-qualified Pension Plan, subject to regulatory limits. The pension plan 
targets a 50% pay replacement, integrated with the participant's social 
security benefits, at normal retirement age following a full career of service.
The 401(k) savings program authorizes a maximum voluntary salary deferral of up
to 10% (with a partial company match), subject to statutory limitations. The 
profit sharing arrangement provides an annual discretionary contribution to the
retirement account of each employee based in part on the bank's profitability 
in a given year, and on each participant's rate of base salary. Participation 
in these qualified savings plans is likewise offered to the eligible general 
employee population. Benefits under these plans, taken as a whole, are 
competitive with comparable banks and bank holding companies.

           Policy With Respect to the $1 Million Deduction Limit

Recently enacted Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limits
the corporate deduction for compensation paid to executive officers named in 
the proxy to $1 million, unless certain requirements are met. The Compensation
Committee has carefully considered the impact of this new tax code provision 
and has determined that it is unlikely to affect the deductibility of 
compensation paid to executive officers.

<PAGE>
                                  Conclusion

The Compensation Committee believes these executive compensation policies and 
programs effectively serve the interests of stockholders and the Corporation. 
The Compensation Committee believes these policies motivate executives to 
contribute to the Corporation's overall future successes, thereby enhancing 
the value of the Corporation for the stockholders' benefit.

                               Pension Plan

All full-time employees of the Corporation's subsidiary banks who have 
completed one year of service are eligible for participation in the 
Corporation's Pension Plan and the remuneration credited each participant 
includes all direct salaries and wages paid. Generally speaking, retirement 
benefits are based on final average monthly earnings during the highest five 
consecutive years of employment during the last ten years before retirement and 
integrates with a portion of the Primary Social Security Benefit payable to the
participant. A participant receives monthly the amount calculated under the 
following formula: the monthly average of the 60 highest paid consecutive months
out of the final ten years of employment times the sum of (i) 1-2/3% times the 
number of years of credited service up to a maximum of 30, and (ii) 1/2% times 
each year of credited service over 30 years; less one-half the Primary Social 
Security Benefit payable to the participant. The following table 
illustrates the annual amount of retirement income available under both the
Corporation's Pension Plan and SERP (after deducting 1/2 of the social 
security benefit, but without limiting the retirement benefits for the single 
plan defined benefit limit of Section 415(c), for the combined plan Section 415 
limits, and for the includible compensation limitation of Section 401(a)(17) of 
the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) from such plan for a person 65 years of 
age in specified average earnings and years of service classification. The SERP 
restores benefits lost under the Pension Plan due to the limits imposed under 
Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code. The objective of the SERP is to permit
those employees who are affected by the limitations of Code Sections 401(a)(17)
and 415 to receive the same benefit they would have received under the Pension 
Plan but for the limitations imposed by the Code. 

In certain cases, a participant's actual benefit may be less than that provided 
below:

          Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Directors, director nominees, and executive officers of the Corporation and 
their associates were customers of, and had transactions with, the Corporation 
and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business during 1995. Additional
transactions may be expected to take place in the future. All outstanding 
loans, commitments to loan, transactions in repurchase agreements and 
certificates of deposit, and depository relationships, in the opinion of 
management, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest 
rates, collateral, and repayment terms on extensions of credit, as those 
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and in 
the ordinary course of business and did not involve more than the normal risk 
of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

         Proposal to Increase the Number of Authorized Shares

The Corporation proposes to amend Article 4 of its Certificate of 
Incorporation to increase the number of its authorized shares of Common Stock. 
The Corporation proposes to increase the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock from 3,500,000 to 6,000,000 shares.

As of February 2, 1996, the Corporation had 2,350,165 shares issued and
outstanding and had 100,000 shares reserved for issuance. If this proposal is
adopted by shareholders, the Corporation will then have 3,549,835 shares 
available for issuance.

The Corporation does not have any current plans to issue any shares of Common 
Stock other than in connection with the Old Second Bancorp Long-Term Incentive 
Plan.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation has determined that it is in the 
best interests of the Corporation to have additional shares of Common Stock
authorized and available for issuance as the need arises for possible future 
financing transactions, acquisitions, asset purchases, stock dividends or
splits, issuances under employee benefit plans, and for other general 
corporate purposes. Such shares will be issuable by the Corporation generally
without further authorization by the stockholders on such terms as the Board 
of Directors may lawfully determine. The effect of the authorization and 
issuance of additional shares of Common Stock (other than on a pro rata basis 
among holders of Common Stock) would be to dilute the present voting power of 
the holders of Common Stock. Stockholders presently do not have preemptive 
rights. Although it is not intended to be an anti-takeover measure, the increase
in authorized shares of Common Stock with a subsequent issuance of such shares
could impede a potential takeover by, among other things, (1) diluting the 
stock ownership of persons attempting to gain control of the Corporation 
and (2) issuing securities to individuals or entities favorable to management. 
The par value, designations, preferences, relative rights, limitations, or 
restrictions of the authorized Common Stock of the Corporation will remain 
unchanged.

Upon effectiveness of the amendment to increase the number of authorized 
shares of Common Stock, the Corporation will have 6,000,000 shares of 
Common Stock, without par value per share, and authorized and available for 
issuance.

The Board of Directors currently believes that the authorized, unissued 
shares of Common Stock of the Corporation which will remain after amendment 
of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation as proposed in these proxy
materials will be sufficient for the Corporation's capital and other needs 
for the foreseeable future.

The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the 
amendment of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the 
number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

                      Independent Accountants

Ernst & Young, L.L.P. ("Ernst & Young") has been selected by the Corporation 
to be the Corporation's independent accountants for the fiscal year 
ended December 31, 1996. The Board of Directors will propose the adoption 
of a resolution at the Annual Meeting ratifying and approving the selection 
of Ernst & Young. Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present
at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire
to do so, and to be available to respond to the appropriate questions. 

On February 3, 1995, the Corporation notified its previous independent 
accountants, Coopers & Lybrand, L.L.P. (Coopers & Lybrand) that 
Coopers & Lybrand would not be retained as the Company's independent 
accountants for the 1995 fiscal year. The decision to change independent 
accountants was recommended by the Corporation's Audit Committee and approved 
by the Board of Directors. Representatives of Coopers & Lybrand are not 
expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Coopers & Lybrand's reports on the Corporation's financial statements during 
the two most recent fiscal years in which Coopers & Lybrand was retained 
contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinions, and was not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During 
those two fiscal years, there were no disagreements between the Corporation and
Coopers & Lybrand on any matters of accounting principles, financial statement 
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of 
Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(Regulation S-K) occurred during those two fiscal years. In addition, during 
those two fiscal years, the Corporation did not consult Ernst & Young regarding
any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of 
Regulation S-K.

The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the above 
proposal.

                           Stockholder Proposals

Proposals of stockholders to be included in the Corporation's Proxy Statement 
for the March 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the 
Corporation at its executive office no later than November 1, 1996.

                                General
