    FIRSTBANK OF ILLINOIS CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(unaudited)

    June 30, 1995

  1.   The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed
       financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
       instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of
       the information and notes required by generally accepted
       accounting principles for complete consolidated financial
       statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
       (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
       for a fair presentation have been included.  For further
       information, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
       for the year ended December 31, 1994.

  2.   On March 2, 1994, the Company acquired Rowe, Henry & Deal, Inc.
       (RHD), an independent registered securities dealer headquartered
       in Jacksonville, Illinois.  The transaction was an exchange of
       13,379 shares of Company common stock for all of the issued and
       outstanding common stock of RHD.  This acquisition was accounted
       for as a pooling-of-interests.  Prior period financial statements
       have not been restated due to immateriality.

  3.   On April 25, 1994, the Company acquired Colonial Bancshares, Inc.
       (Colonial).  Colonial, with total assets of approximately $165
       million and headquartered in Des Peres, Missouri, operates
       Colonial Bank in Des Peres and Ellisville, Missouri.  The
       transaction, an exchange of 505,376 shares of Company common
       stock for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of
       Colonial, was recorded under the pooling-of-interests method of
       accounting on the date of acquisition.  The consolidated
       condensed financial statements included herein have been restated
       to include Colonial's operating results.

  4.   On January 25, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
       a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50 percent
       stock dividend.  One share for each two shares held by shareholders
       of record on March 17, 1995 was distributed on April 1, 1995.  This
       resulted in the issuance of 3,279,106 additional shares of common
       stock.  The par value of the new shares issued totaled $3,279,106,
       which was transferred from capital surplus to the common stock
       account.  In addition, all references to number of shares, per share
       amounts, and common stock outstanding for all periods presented prior
       to that time have been restated to
       reflect the stock split.

  5.   On June 12, 1995, the Company announced the signing of a definitive
       agreement to acquire Confluence Bancshares Corporation (Confluence)
       and its wholly owned subsidiary, Duchesne Bank (Duchesne).  Duchesne,
       headquartered in St. Peters, Missouri, also operates a separate
       branch facility in St. Charles, Missouri.  Duchesne had total assets
       of approximately $79 million at June 30, 1995.  The acquisition
       calls for payment of 500,000 shares of Firstbank common stock in
       exchange for all the outstanding common stock of Confluence.  The
       Company expects this transaction to be recorded under the pooling-of-
       interests method of accounting and close in the fourth quarter of
       1995.

  6.   The Company retired its unsecured term credit facility (credit
       facility) with a remaining principal balance of $10,350,000 on
       June 26, 1995.  The credit facility, which had an original term
       of five years, required semiannual principal payments with a
       final installment due June 30, 1996.  The Company obtained the
       $30,000,000 credit facility on April 25, 1991 to finance the
       acquisitions of PBM Bancorp, Inc. and Central Banc System, Inc..

                 Condition and Results of Operations (dollars it
                 thousands, except per share data)


       The acquisition of Colonial Bancshares, Inc. was consummated
  during April of 1994.  The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-
  of-interests and, accordingly, all previously reported financial
  information has been restated to reflect its addition.

       As discussed in note 4 to the interim consolidated condensed
  financial statements included herein, the Company's Board of Directors
  authorized a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50
  percent stock dividend distributed April 1, 1995.  All references to
  number of shares, per share amounts, and common stock outstanding for
  all periods presented prior to that time have been restated to reflect
  the stock split.

       Total assets at June 30, 1995 were $1,739,440, down $13,621 from
  $1,753,061 at December 31, 1994.  During the first six months of 1995,
  the Company has reduced its reliance on short-term and long-term
  borrowings.  Short-term borrowings were reduced $56,620 from $92,764
  at December 31, 1994, as a result of an increase in interest-bearing
  deposits of $52,650 and investment security sales and maturities of
  $74,883 during that period.  As discussed in note 6 to the interim
  consolidated condensed financial statements included herein, the
  Company also retired the remaining $10,350 in long-term borrowings
  under a 1991 credit facility.

       Average earning assets, as a percentage of average total assets
  increased slightly in the second quarter of 1995 to 92.26% from 92.04%
  and 91.88% for the first quarter of 1995 and year-end 1994, respectively. 
  The current loan-to-deposit ratio of 75.75% decreased from the year-end
  level of 76.67% as interest-bearing deposits replaced short-term borrowings.

       Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.07% at
  June 30, 1995, up from .61% at the end of 1994 and .57% at March 31,
  1995.  After declining modestly in the first quarter, the Company's
  level of nonperforming loans increased in the second quarter of 1995
  as a result of placing a $5.7 million commercial loan relationship on
  nonaccrual status.  Nonperforming loans at June 30, 1995 include the
  following:

          Restructured                $   367
          Nonaccrual                    9,332
          Past due 90 days or more      2,551
               Total                  $12,250

       The reserve for possible loan losses at June 30, 1995 was 1.55%
  of outstanding loans as compared to 1.57% at December 31,1994.  A
  strong reserve for possible loan losses that exceeds the level of
  identified problem loans reflects management's conservative approach
  by providing for other risks inherent in the portfolio.  Reserves
  cover 145% of the Company's nonperforming loans at June 30, 1995.

       Loan portfolio quality remains management's top priority.
  Management believes the reserve for possible loan losses remains
  adequate to absorb losses inherent in the consolidated loan portfolio.
  Ongoing reviews of the portfolio, coverage ratios, and trends in the
  reserve and net charge-offs support this belief.

       The Company's June 30, 1995 equity-to-asset and tangible equity-
  to-asset ratios were 10.11% and 9.29% up from 9.04% and 8.19%,
  respectively, at the end of 1994.  The increase in the equity ratios
  is attributable to the growth in retained earnings and a reduction of
  unrealized holding losses on investment securities available-for-sale.
  The June 30, 1995 equity-to-asset ratio excluding investment security
  unrealized holding losses is 10.20%.  The Company and its banking
  subsidiaries all exceed their minimum capital requirements.  Tier 1,
  Total Capital and Tier 1 Leverage Ratios were 14.27%, 15.33% and
  9.48%, respectively at June 30, 1995.  Shareholders' equity represents
  book value per common share of  $17.89 at June 30, 1995, as compared
  to $16.13 at December 31, 1994.

       Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was $6,154 as
  compared to net income for the corresponding period of 1994 of $5,847.
  The improvement in earnings is attributable to a gain on the sale of
  loan servicing, the successful efforts to increase noninterest
  revenues and various cost reduction measures.  Earnings per share for
  the three month period was $.62 as compared to the 1994 amount of
  $.59, an increase of 5.1%.

       Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1995 was $12,201 as
  compared to net income for the corresponding period of 1994 of
  $11,321.  The improvement in earnings is attributable to the
  performance of our newest subsidiary, Colonial Bank, the successful
  efforts to increase noninterest income and cost reduction measures.
  Earnings per share for the six month period was $1.22 as compared to
  the 1994 amount of $1.14, an increase of 7.0%.

       Net interest income for the first six months of 1995 was $36,408,
  or $1,594 below the first six months of 1994.  Net interest income for
  the second quarter of 1995 was $18,188, or $1,115 below the 1994
  quarter.  Interest rates have risen on the Company's funding, most
  notably in the certificate of deposit categories, adding pressure to
  the Company's interest margin.  Net interest income (on a tax-
  equivalent basis) as a percentage of average earning assets for the
  second quarter was 4.67% versus 4.84% for the same period a year ago
  as the average cost of time deposits increased from 3.84% to 5.41% for
  the same periods.  Average balance sheets and yields are included for
  each of those quarters at the end of this discussion.

       Interest rate sensitivity is closely monitored through the
  Company's asset-liability management procedures.  At the end of this
  discussion is a table reflecting Firstbank's interest rate gap (rate
  sensitive assets minus rate sensitive liabilities) analysis at June
  30, 1995, individually and cumulatively, through various time
  horizons.

       The provision for possible loan losses of $1,050 and $525 for the
  first six months and second quarter of 1995, respectively, represents
  a decrease from $1,350 and $675 reported in the comparable 1994
  periods.  Consistently low nonperforming loan levels, low net charge-
  offs and strong reserve coverage levels have allowed the Company to
  maintain its reduced provision for possible loan losses in 1995.

       Noninterest income for the first six months of 1995 was up 7.6%
  as compared to the corresponding period in 1994, while noninterest
  income in the second quarter of 1995 increased 10.2% from last year.
  Revenues from fiduciary activities, which includes trust and farm
  management fees, reported increases of 14.0% and 15.5% for the first
  six months and second quarter of 1995 as compared to the same periods
  of 1994.  The Company also recorded a $270 gain on the sale of
  approximately $25 million in mortgage servicing during the second
  quarter of 1995.

       Noninterest expense declined 8.5% for the first six months of
  1995 compared to the same period of 1994.  Similarly, noninterest
  expense was down 8.4% for the current quarter of 1995 as compared with
  the second quarter of 1994.  Current year expense reductions  have
  resulted from continued emphasis on operational efficiency.  The
  consolidation of operations, including item processing, data
  processing and retail loan collections, contributed to the expense
  reduction.  The integration of Colonial Bank, acquired in April 1994,
  into the Company has also resulted in significant cost savings.

       Income taxes of $6,687 and $3,374 for the first six months and
  current quarter of 1995 exceeded the corresponding 1994 period amounts
  by 18.0% and 14.4%, respectively.  The primary differences between the
  two years were higher pre-tax earnings and lower levels of tax-exempt
  interest income in the current year.  The Company's effective tax rate
  for the second quarter of 1995 was 35.4% as compared to 33.5% in the
  same period of 1994.


  EFFECT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

       During May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
  issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 114, "Accounting
  by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" (Statement 114).  During
  October, 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
  Standard No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--
  Income Recognition and Disclosures" (Statement 118). Statement 114
  (as amended by Statement 118) defines the recognition criteria for
  loan impairment and the measurement methods for certain impaired loans
  and loans for which terms have been modified in trouble-debt
  restructurings (a restructured loan).  The Company has adopted the
  provisions of these statements effective January 1, 1995 and has
  elected to continue to use its existing nonaccrual methods for
  recognizing interest on impaired loans.  As a result of adopting these
  statements, there was no impact on the Company's financial position or
  results of operations.

  In May 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
  Standard No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights"
  (Statement 122) which requires that a mortgage banking enterprise
  recognize as separate assets the rights to service mortgage loans for
  others at the origination or purchase date of the loan, when the
  enterprise has a definitive plan to sell or securitize the loans and
  retain the mortgage servicing rights, assuming the fair value of the
  loans and servicing rights may be practically estimated.  Otherwise,
  servicing rights should be recognized when the underlying loans are
  sold or securitized, using an allocation of total cost of the loans
  based on the relative fair values at the date of sale.  Statement 122
  also requires an assessment of capitalized mortgage servicing rights
  for impairment to be based on the current fair value of those rights.
  Statement 122 is required to be applied prospectively in fiscal years
  beginning after December 31, 1995.  The Company is currently studying
  the expected impact of this statement on its financial position.


  EFFECTS OF INFLATION

       Persistent high rates of inflation can have a significant effect
  on the reported financial condition and results of operations of all
  industries.  However, the asset and liability structure of a bank
  holding company is substantially different from that of an industrial
  company, in that virtually all assets and liabilities of a bank
  holding company are monetary in nature.  Accordingly, changes in
  interest rates also have a significant impact on a bank holding
  company's performance.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the
  same direction, or in the same magnitude, as the prices of other goods
  and services.

       Inflation does have an impact on the growth of total assets in
  the banking industry, often resulting in a need to increase equity
  capital at higher than normal rates to maintain an appropriate equity
  to assets ratio.

       Although it is obvious that inflation affects the growth of total
  assets, it is difficult to measure the impact precisely.  Only new
  assets acquired in each year are directly affected, so a simple
  adjustment of asset totals by use of an inflation index is not
  meaningful.  The results of operations also have been affected by
  inflation, but again there is no simple way to measure the effect on
  the various categories of income and expense.

       Interest rates in particular are significantly affected by
  inflation, but neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes
  coincides with changes in standard measurements of inflation such as
  the consumer price index.  Additionally, changes in interest rates on
  some types of consumer deposits may be delayed.  These factors in turn
  affect the composition of sources of funds by reducing the growth of
  deposits that are less interest sensitive and increasing the need for
  funds that are more interest sensitive.
