ITEM 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                             AMCORE FINANCIAL, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements include, however, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals), which in the opinion of management are considered
necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the
periods shown.

The consolidated financial statements and the financial information have been
restated to reflect the May 24, 1995 merger with NBM Bancorp, Inc. (NBM)  and
the mergers with First State Bancorp of Princeton, Illinois, Inc. (FSB) and NBA
Holding Company (NBA), all of which were accounted for using the pooling of
interests method.  Operating results for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of AMCORE Financial, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is based on dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods, as adjusted
for common stock equivalents.  Common stock equivalents consist of shares
issuable under options granted pursuant to various stock incentive plans.  The
fully-dilutive effect of common equivalents on earnings per share was less than
three percent for all periods presented.  Share data for all prior year periods
presented have been restated to reflect the mergers with NBM, FSB, and NBA.

NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

The Company has a term loan agreement (Agreement) with an unaffiliated
financial institution that requires semi-annual principal payments and allows
several interest rate and funding period options.  At June 30, 1995, the
balance was $19.5 million and the selected interest rates ranged from 7.81% to
8.00%.

The Agreement contains several restrictive covenants, including restrictions on
dividends to stockholders and maintenance of various capital adequacy levels.
All capital adequacy ratios remained well above the required minimums per the
Agreement.

Scheduled principal reductions on the Agreement are required as follows:

Other long-term borrowings include a non-interest bearing note from the January
19, 1993 acquisition of Rockford Mercantile Agency.  The note requires annual
payments of $444,000 beginning in 1994 through 2002.  The note was discounted
at an interest rate of 8.0%.

Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $1.1 million, a $4.3 million
decline in earnings from the same period in 1994.  Through the first six months
of 1995, net  income was $5.7 million as compared to $10.8 million in 1994.
Earnings per share were $.08 for the second quarter and $.41 for the first six
months of 1995 versus $.39 and $.77, respectively, for 1994.  This decline in
earnings was caused primarily by the recognition of a one-time $2.0 million
after-tax charge in connection with the early adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 121 - "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets" (See section "Operating Expenses" for further discussion
of FAS No. 121) and a $1.5 million after-tax charge for merger and data
conversion costs.  Exclusion of these one-time charges would have resulted in
earnings per share of $.33 for the second quarter of 1995.

Higher provisions for loan and lease losses due to strong loan growth also
negatively impacted second quarter earnings by $697,000 as compared to the same
period last year.  For the first half of 1995, the provision for loan and lease
losses rose to $1.6 million, up from $304,000 in 1994.

Despite a 30 basis point decline in the net interest margin to 4.15% in the
second quarter, net interest income rose by $303,000 or 1.6% due to increased
lending volume.  On a year-to-date basis, the results are similar, with net
interest income rising by $500,000 or 1.3% while the net interest margin fell
by 30 basis points to 4.21%.  A higher cost funding mix, particularly with time
deposits, was responsible for the margin compression.

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 1995 totaled $7.9 million,
exclusive of security gains.  This represents a $791,000 or 11.1% increase over
the prior year total.  Through the first six months, non-interest income
totaled $15.4 million and was $1.1 million or 7.7% above last year.  Increases
in trust and mortgage revenues contributed to this rise.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 1995 were $26.6 million or $7.3
million above the same period in 1994.  Exclusive of the one-time charges
mentioned above, the increase was $1.7 million or 9.0%.  This increase was due
to new expenses associated with branch expansion and upgrades in data
processing capabilities. Year-to-date operating expenses were $47.3 million as
compared to $38.7 million in 1994, an increase of $3.0 million or 7.8% when
excluding the one-time charges.

The return on assets (ROA) was .21% and 1.07%, respectively, for the second
quarters of 1995 and 1994.  Exclusion of  the one-time charges in 1995 would
result in an ROA of .83%.  The return on average equity (ROE) for the quarter
was 2.41%, down from 11.76% in 1994.  On a year-to-date basis, ROA and ROE
stood at .85% and 9.89%, respectively, after exclusion of the one-time charges.
This is in comparison with the prior year ROA of 1.07% and ROE of 11.80%.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the primary source of earnings for the Company's banking
affiliates.  For the following analysis, net interest income is presented on a
tax equivalent basis, which adjusts reported interest income on tax-exempt
loans and securities to compare with other sources of fully taxable interest
income.  Unlike changes in volume, or rates paid or earned, it has no effect on
actual net interest income or net income as reported in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, rose by $187,000 in the second
quarter of 1995 as compared to the prior year.  The net interest margin, which
is computed by dividing the tax equivalent net interest income by average
earning assets declined by 30 basis points to 4.15% in the second quarter.  The
net interest margin on a year-to-date basis reflected a similar decline falling
to 4.21% from 4.51%. This was primarily a result of loan growth offset by
declines resulting from a rising interest rate environment, which caused
funding costs to increase at a faster pace than yields on earning assets.  In
addition, a shift in the deposit mix to higher rate time deposits contributed
to the drop in net interest margin.  The net interest spread, which is the
difference between the yield on earning assets and the rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities fell from 3.87% for the second quarter of 1994 to 3.47% for
the same period this year.

</TABLE>           


The above table shows the changes in interest income (tax equivalent) and
interest expense attributable to rate and volume variances.  The change in
interest income (tax equivalent) due to both rate and volume has been allocated
to rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute
dollar amounts of the change in each.

(1)  The interest on tax-exempt investment securities and tax-exempt loans is
     calculated on a tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 35%.

(2)  The balances of nonaccrual loans are included in average loans
     outstanding.  Interest on loans includes yield-related loan fees.

(3)  The yield-related fees recognized from the origination of mortgage loans
     held for sale are in addition to the interest earned on the loans during
     the period in which they are warehoused for sale as shown above.

Total average earning assets for the quarter were $2.02 billion, an increase of
$152 million or 8.2% over 1994.  Average loans grew by $165 million or 15.8%,
primarily the result of growth in residential real estate and commercial loan
portfolios.  Average total securities rose slightly to $774 million, a $5.8
million quarter to quarter increase.  Average other earning assets, which
include interest earning deposits in banks, federal funds sold and other
short-term investments declined by $16.0 million to $18.0 million.

Average total interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter grew to $1.75
billion, a 9.8% or $156 million increase over the prior year.  Average
interest-bearing deposits rose by $86 million or 6.0% during the second
quarter.  Growth in average time deposits of $146 million (18.5%) more than
offset declines in interest-bearing demand deposits ($56.2 million) and savings
deposits ($3.7 million).  The increase in average deposits, in addition to
security sales and maturities, were utilized to fund loan growth.  For the
second quarter, average short-term borrowings rose to $215 million, an increase
of $74 million over the prior year.  This increase was due to the  purchase of
adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities funded primarily through repurchase
agreements.

The yield on average earning assets for the second quarter of 1995 was 8.25%,
an increase of 72 basis points over the 1994 yield for the same period.  The
average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities rose by 112 basis points
resulting in the drop in both net interest spread and net interest margin.

Generally rising rates since the second quarter of 1994 resulted in higher
yields in all earning asset categories.  Loan yields for the second quarter
rose by 67 basis points to 8.80%.  The yield on investment securities was
7.14%, representing a 51 basis point rise.  The yield on other earning assets
was 6.78%, an increase of 255 basis points.  The yield on mortgage loans held
for sale during the second quarter rose by 148 basis points.

The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits rose by 103 basis points to
4.59% for the second quarter of 1995.  This increase was indicative of higher
prevailing market rates as well as promotional rates offered on time deposits.
The average rate paid on time deposits rose from 4.57% in the second quarter of
1994 to 5.76% in 1995.  The increase reflects the movement by customers to
longer term, higher yielding interest-bearing deposits.  In a stable or
declining interest rate environment, this trend could continue to negatively
impact the net interest margin.

The average rate paid on short-term borrowings increased from 3.68% to 5.84% in
the second quarter, primarily due to higher rates on repurchase agreements.
The average rate paid on long-term borrowings rose from 7.11% in the second
quarter of 1994 to 7.25% in 1995.  The interest rate risk on a portion of the
term loan agreement is hedged through the use of fixed rate swap agreements.

On a year-to-date basis, tax equivalent net interest income was $42.2 million
in 1995, which represents an increase of $294,000 or .7% over the same period
in 1994.  For this same period, the net interest margin was 4.21% as compared
to 4.51% for the prior year.  Loan growth and higher yields resulted in the
slightly higher net interest income.  However, the change in deposit mix
coupled with faster repricing of interest-bearing liabilities resulted in the
net interest margin decline.  Earning assets for the first six months of 1995
yielded 8.18% a 61 basis point rise over 1994.  At the same time, the average
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased by 102 basis points to
4.65%.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

For the second quarter of 1995, the provision for loan and lease losses was
$871,000 as compared to $174,000 for the same period last year.  Total net
charge-offs for the quarter were $1.0 million versus $649,000 in 1994.  The
increase in net charge-offs was due to the $595,000 write-down of a commercial
real estate property which was foreclosed and reclassified into other real
estate during the second quarter.  This rise in net charge-offs coupled with
loan growth caused the increase in the provision for loan and lease losses in
the second quarter.  On a year-to-date basis, net charge-offs totaled $1.3
million in 1995, up from the $929,000 recorded in 1994.

The annualized ratio of second quarter net charge-offs to average loans and
leases was .33% in 1995 versus .25% a year earlier.  The year-to-date
annualized ratio rose slightly from .18% in the first six months of 1994 as
compared to .21% for the same period this year.

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total net loans and
leases was 1.11% at June 30, 1995, compared to 1.30% a year ago and 1.14% at
December 31, 1994.  At June 30, 1995, the allowance was 125.8% of
non-performing loans and leases versus 104.8% at December 31, 1994 and 119.9%
at June 30, 1994.

                                      -9-





<PAGE>   10



Total non-performing assets, which includes non-performing loans and leases and
other real estate owned, as a percentage of loans, leases and other real estate
owned were 1.08% at June 30, 1995, 1.16% a year earlier and 1.19% at December
31, 1994.

OTHER INCOME

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 1995 rose by 11.1% or $791,000,
exclusive of net security gains.  On a year-to-date basis, non-interest income
totaled $15.4 million, a $1.1 million or 7.7% increase over 1994.

Trust revenues were $3.0 million for the second quarter of 1995, which
represents a 6.6% increase over the comparable period last year.  Through the
first six months of 1995, trust revenues rose to $5.8 million, an increase of
6.9% over the prior year.  Continued business expansion coupled with a
favorable market performance of trust assets under management resulted in these
increases.  Other non-interest income rose by 12.0% for the quarter and 12.6%
on a  year-to-date basis.  This increase was the result of higher credit card
income and customer service fees.

Mortgage revenues, which include income generated from underwriting and
servicing fees and gains realized on the sale of these loans, totaled $1.0
million for second quarter of 1995, a $357,000 increase over the second quarter
of 1994.  A 29.4% increase in loan servicing income coupled with the early
adoption of FAS No. 122 -"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" were the
factors causing the increase.  This new accounting rule allows for the
recognition of the value of servicing rights on originated mortgage loans.
Applied retroactively to the beginning of the year, it resulted in
approximately $300,000 of mortgage revenues.  On a year-to-date basis, mortgage
revenues totaled $1.6 million, a 10.4% increase over the prior year.

Net security gains for the second quarter of 1995 were $427,000, virtually
unchanged from the same period last year.  For the first half of the year, net
security gains were $1.0 million, up 33.1% from the same period of 1994.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 1995 were $26.6 million, a
$7.3 million increase over the same period in 1994.  Approximately $5.6 million
of this increase related to the one-time charges discussed earlier.
Approximately $3.2 million of these charges were associated with the early
adoption of FAS No. 121.  FAS No. 121 requires an asset revaluation whenever a
change in events or other circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the
asset may not be fully recoverable.  These charges include write-downs of
purchase accounting adjustments and other intangibles assigned to the former
Illinois National Bank building acquired in 1985 from the Illinois National
Bank and Trust Company and the reduction of goodwill and other intangibles
associated with the acquisitions of a collection agency and an insurance
agency.

The remainder of the one-time charges related to merger and data conversion
costs.  The merger costs were associated with the May 24, 1995 merger with NBM
Bancorp, Inc. of Mendota, Illinois as well as recognition of remaining costs
associated with the 1994 mergers with First State Bancorp of Princeton,
Illinois, Inc. and NBA Holding Company of Aledo, Illinois.  The charge for data
conversion costs was an accumulation of certain capitalized costs incurred
during various data conversions completed over the past year.

The adoption of FAS No. 121 while not required until 1996, was adopted early in
conjunction with the recognition of one-time merger-related costs.  While the
acceleration of these charges adversely impacted second quarter earnings, total
operating expenses related to these charges are expected to decline by $1.6
million in 1996.

The remaining increase in operating expenses for the second quarter can be
attributed primarily to normal salary increases, costs associated with branch
expansion at the Rockford bank and the upgrade of information systems hardware
and software.  For the year-to-date, total operating expenses were $47.3
million, an $8.6 million increase over 1994.  Without the one-time charges, the
increase was $3.0 million or 7.8%.

An income tax benefit of $820,000 was recorded in the second quarter of 1995.
This compares with $1.8 million of income tax expense for the second quarter of
1994.  This benefit resulted from the one-time charges taken in the second
quarter as well as the recognition of research and experimentation tax credits.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 1995, total assets were $2.27 billion, a $114 million or 5.3%
increase since December 31, 1994.  Total deposits grew to $1.79 billion,
representing an $86.7 million or 5.1% rise since the end of 1994.  This deposit
increase included a 5.4% rise in interest-bearing deposits, primarily time
deposits, and a 3.2% increase in non-interest bearing deposits.  Loans totaled
$1.23 billion at June 30, 1995 and grew $72.6 million or 6.2% since year-end.
The primary loan categories contributing to this growth were commercial and
industrial loans, one-to-four family residential real estate loans and consumer
loans.  Mortgage loans held for sale grew by $8.2 million as mortgage activity
increased in comparison to the end of 1994.  Total securities rose 2.6% to $805
million at June 30, 1995.

CAPITAL

Stockholders' equity was $195 million at June 30, 1995, an increase of 4.5%
since December 31, 1994.  At June 30, 1995, the risk-based capital ratio was
13.04% and the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.12%, both well above the
8.00% and 4.00% minimum required ratios.  The leverage ratio at June 30, 1995
was 8.11%, also well above the 4.00% minimum.

Dividends paid were $.15 per share for the second quarters of 1995 and 1994.
The book value per share at June 30, 1994 rose by 4.2% to $13.81 when compared
to the December 31, 1994 book value.

OTHER MATTERS

In early 1995, the FDIC announced significantly lower deposit insurance
assessments expected for the second half of 1995.  It is anticipated currently
that these rates will fall from a level of 23 cents per $100 of deposits to 4
cents per $100 for well-capitalized institutions.  At the present time, there
is some doubt as to the timing of this insurance benefit based on the
anticipated levels of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), which by law must equal at
least 1.25% of insured deposits prior to any rate reduction.  There is also
discussion regarding the ultimate recapitalization of the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF).  Some regulatory agencies have considered a merger of
the two funds as a possible solution to the problem.  The resolution of the
disparity in insurance deposit rates between the BIF and SAIF insured
institutions may reduce the benefit to BIF members such as the Company and it
subsidiary banks.  This issue is expected to be resolved before the end of
1995.

AMCORE FINANCIAL, INC., REPORTS LOWER SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS DUE TO PREVIOUSLY
                          ANNOUNCED ONE-TIME CHARGES

   ROCKFORD, ILL. - AMCORE  Financial, Inc. posted second quarter earnings of
$1.1  million, or 8 cents per share for  the period ended June 30, 1995
compared with $5.4 million or 39 cents per share for the same period in 1994.

   All financial information has been restated to reflect the  mergers with
First State Bancorp of Princeton, Ill., Inc., NBA Holding Company of Aledo, and
NBM Bancorp, Inc., of Mendota.

   Second quarter earnings were affected by  previously announced charges for
the early adoption of Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No.
121- "Accounting for the  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" and  other costs
related to  recent mergers. Total one-time  charges on an after-tax basis
amounted to  $3.5 million or 25 cents per  share. The merger-related charges
were associated  with the May 24th combination with NBM and the recognition of
remaining costs from the FSB and NBA transactions.

   "We made a change in accounting for  merger costs to record them at the time
a transaction is completed,  rather than recognizing them over a period of
years," said Carl J. Dargene, chairman, president  and chief executive officer.
"This  has an adverse impact on  our earnings for the quarter, however, it will
allow us to focus on true operating results going forward." 

   FAS  121 requires an asset revaluation whenever a change in events or other
circumstances indicate the  carrying amount  may not  be fully recoverable. The
charges of approximately $2.0 million include write-downs of purchase accounting
adjustments and other intangibles assigned to the former Illinois National Bank
building in Rockford and the reduction of goodwill and other intangibles
associated with the acquisition of  a collection agency.

   Also impacting  earnings  were approximately  $700,000  in higher  loan
loss provisions  due  to strong  loan  growth. Reserve  coverage  of
non-performing loans increased to 126 percent, up from  120 percent in the same
quarter  of 1994 even though net charge-offs  increased $355,000 over the same
quarter in 1994.

   Net interest income  for the quarter  was $19.5 million,  up 1.6 percent
from the same  quarter of 1994.  The net  interest margin was  4.15 percent,
down 12 basis points compared with the  first quarter of 1995. Compared with
the  second quarter of 1994, the net interest margin fell 30 basis points.
Average loans increased $165 million, or 15.8 percent,  offsetting the
compression in margins caused by an increase  in funding costs, particularly on
certificates of deposit.

Second  Quarter Earnings 1995

   Fee  income for the quarter  was up $791,000, or  11 percent, excluding
security  gains. Approximately $230,000 of this increase  was due to the early
adoption of  FAS 122 - "Accounting  for Mortgage Servicing Rights."  This new
accounting rule  allows for the recognition of the  value of servicing  rights
on new mortgage loans. Mortgage servicing income also rose $131,000 as a result
of growth in the mortgage servicing portfolio.  Trust fees rose $185,000, or
6.6 percent compared with the second quarter of 1994.

   Total operating  expenses for the  quarter were up  $7.3 million from the
1994 quarter. However,  without the special  one-time charges, the increase was
only $1.7 million, or 9.0 percent, partially  reflecting the costs associated
with branch  expansion during the past 12 months  and the upgrades in data
processing capabilities.

   "We are still in the  process of consolidating support for our new
affiliates," Dargene said. "We will see reductions in  our expense totals as a
result of these efforts. Also, the charges we have taken this quarter will
result in  lower expenses in the future, which will improve our operating
results going forward."

   Total income taxes decreased $2.6  million from the same quarter of 1994 due
to tax benefits on the one-time charges and  the recognition of tax credits.

   AMCORE Financial,  Inc. is a  northern Illinois-based bank holding  company
