TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:

Net Earnings for the first quarter of 1994 totaled $1,354,634, a
17.1% increase over the $1,157,291 earned in the first quarter of
1993.  After paying dividends on preferred stock, income available
to common shareholders represented $.47 per share as compared to
$.59 per share for the first three months of 1993.

We've made substantial progress this quarter with respect to loan
portfolio quality.  At year end, non-performing assets aggregated
$13.2 million, or 2.16% of total assets.  As of March 31, 1994,
1.68%, or $10.0 million of our assets were non-performing. 
Significantly, the improvement was the result of our collection
efforts rather than charges against earnings.  Net charge offs for
the quarter totaled less than $7,000. 

We're quite pleased with the progress we've made since our third
quarter 1993 merger with First Northbrook Bancorp, Inc.  As 1994
unfolds, we'll continue to look for opportunities to maximize
efficiency while improving interest margins and asset quality.

With the implementation of FAS No. 115 ("Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities") this year, a new
caption titled "Unrealized loss on securities available for sale"
is included in the Stockholders' Equity section of our balance
sheet.  Essentially, FAS No. 115 requires that securities available
for sale be reported at "fair value", and the unrecognized loss, if
any, be deducted from Stockholders' Equity.  This "fair value" will
naturally fluctuate, perhaps significantly, as interest rates rise
and fall.  Although it's unlikely that we would liquidate the
entire portfolio, we are required to designate investments which we
might sell for liquidity purposes and account for them as
indicated.   

In January, 1994, your Board of Directors voted to increase the
quarterly cash dividend rate on our common stock by 8.3%, from $.12
per share to $.13.  We're excited with the early results we've
experienced in our new markets, and remain optimistic about the
coming months.  Thank you for your participation and continued 
support.
