PART I
ITEM 1: BUSINESS
UPBANCORP, INC.
Upbancorp, Inc. ("Upbancorp" or the "Company") is a multi-bank holding
company organized in 1983 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Upbancorp
owns all the outstanding common stock of Uptown National Bank of Chicago
("Uptown"), organized in 1929 and located in Chicago, Illinois, and Heritage
Bank ("Heritage"), organized in 1977 and located in Phoenix, Arizona. (Uptown
and Heritage are referred to as the "Subsidiary Banks".) Upbancorp does not
engage in any activities other than providing administrative services and acting
as a holding company for its Subsidiary Banks.
The Company is a banking company with total assets of $226 million at year-
end 1996 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The majority of the
operational responsibilities of each of the Subsidiary Banks rests with their
Officers and Directors.
The Company and its Subsidiary Banks employed approximately 145 full-time
equivalent employees at December 31, 1996.
SUBSIDIARY BANKS
The Company's affiliates consist of two full-service community banks, which
operate five banking offices in northern Chicago and metropolitan Phoenix.
Approximately 77% of its banking assets are related to Uptown with the remainder
related to Heritage.
Both Subsidiary Banks are engaged in the general commercial banking
business in addition to offering a complete range of retail banking services.
The Subsidiary Banks conduct a general banking business which embraces all of
the usual functions, both commercial and consumer, and which they may lawfully
provide, including, but not limited to: the acceptance of deposits to demand,
savings and time accounts and the servicing of such accounts; commercial,
industrial, consumer and real estate lending; safe deposit box operations; and
other banking services tailored for both commercial and retail clients.
Uptown has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Broadway Clark Building Corporation
("BCBC"), which is an Illinois corporation. BCBC owns all of the real estate
that is used in connection with the operation of Uptown's business with the
exception of one facility, which is leased.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The Company and its Subsidiary Banks are subject to regulation and
supervision by various governmental regulatory authorities including, but not
limited to, the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB"), the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency (the "OCC"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC"), the Arizona State Banking Department, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing
authorities. Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively
regulated under federal and state law. The effect of such statutes, regulations
and policies can be significant and cannot be predicted with a high degree of
certainty.
Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial
institutions, such as the Company and the Subsidiary Banks, regulate, among
other things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits,
capital levels relative to operations, the nature and amount of collateral for
loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends.
This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for the protection of the
FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund and the depositors, rather than the shareholders of
financial institutions.
The Company is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of
Governors of the FRB, under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.

<PAGE>
Uptown is chartered under the National Bank Act, as amended, and is subject
to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the
OCC, as the chartering authority for national banks, and the FDIC as the
administrator of the Bank Insurance Fund. The Bank is a member of the Federal
Reserve System.
Heritage is chartered under the banking laws of Arizona and is subject to
the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the
Arizona State Banking Commission under the banking laws of Arizona and the FDIC
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended.
The deposits of the Subsidiary Banks are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund
of the FDIC to the extent permitted by law.
The Company's common stock is registered with the SEC under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Consequently, the Company is subject to the information proxy solicitation,
insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
GOVERNMENTAL MONETARY POLICIES AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The earnings of the Company are affected in important respects by general
economic conditions and also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal
government and its agencies. In particular, the FRB regulates the national
supply of bank credit in order to achieve, among other things, maximum
employment and a stable price level. Among the instruments of monetary policy
used by the FRB to implement these objectives are: open market transactions in
United States government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank
borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits.
These means are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth of bank
loans, investments, and deposits, and they may also affect interest rates
charged on loans or paid for deposits.
Interest rate sensitivity has a major impact on the yields earned on assets
of the Subsidiary Banks. As market rates change, yields earned on assets may
not necessarily move to the same degree as rates paid on liabilities. For this
reason, the Subsidiary Banks attempt to minimize earnings volatility related to
fluctuations in interest rates through the use of formal asset/liability
management programs which identifies imbalances between the repricing of earning
assets and funding sources, among other things.
In addition to the FRB, the Company's earnings are also affected by the
FDIC insurance premiums and the annual fees charged by the various regulatory
authorities. The Company cannot fully predict the nature or the extent of any
effect which such fiscal and monetary policies may have on its business and
earnings.
COMPETITION
The principal methods of competition between commercial banks is generally
expressed in terms of price, including interest rates paid on deposits and
interest rates charged on borrowings, fees charged on fiduciary services,
quality of services to customers, ease of access to services, and the offering
of additional services. More recently, technological advances such as
telebanking, point-of-sale debit cards and electronic data interchange have also
resulted in intensified competition with traditional banking distribution
systems.
Both Illinois and Arizona are highly competitive markets for banking and
related financial services. Since these areas are the Company's primary focus
markets, the Subsidiary Banks are exposed to varying types and levels of
competition. In general, each Subsidiary Bank competes, anticipates and responds
within each individual market area. Both Subsidiary Banks compete and rely
heavily on the high level of quality service provided to our customers. The
Company has seen the level of competition and number of competitors in its
market places increase in recent years and expects a continuation of these
competitive market conditions.

<PAGE>
CAPITAL GUIDELINES
The FRB, the OCC and the FDIC have adopted risk-based capital guidelines
which provide a framework for assessing the adequacy of the capital of banks and
bank holding companies (collectively "banking institutions"). These guidelines
apply to all banking institutions regardless of size and are used in the
examination and supervisory process as well as in the analysis of applications
to be acted upon by the regulatory authorities. These guidelines require banking
institutions to maintain capital based on the credit risk of their operations.
The risk-based capital guidelines are designed to require the maintenance
of capital commensurate with both on and off-balance sheet credit risks. The
minimum ratios established by the guidelines are based on both tier 1 and total
capital to total risk-based assets. Total risk-based assets are calculated by
assigning each on-balance sheet asset and off-balance sheet item to one of four
risk categories depending on the nature of each item. The amount of the items in
each category is then multiplied by the risk-weight assigned to that category
(0%, 20%, 50% or 100%). Total risk-based assets equals the sum of the resulting
amounts. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as shareholders' equity less
intangible assets and total capital is generally defined to include Tier 1
capital plus limited levels of the allowance for loan losses.
In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the FRB, the OCC and
the FDIC require institutions to maintain a minimum leveraged-capital ratio to
supplement the risk-based capital guidelines. The leverage ratio is intended to
ensure that adequate capital is maintained against risks other than credit risk.
The Company and the Subsidiary Banks exceed the minimum required capital
guidelines for both risk-based capital ratios and the leverage ratio at December
31, 1996. A further discussion of the capital guidelines is included in the
Capital Resources section under Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
DIVIDENDS
GENERAL
In addition to the capital guidelines provided in the discussion above,
there are various national and state banking regulations which limit the
ability of the Subsidiary Banks to pay dividends and thereby limiting the
ability of the Company to pay dividends. Since the Company is a legal entity,
separate and distinct from its affiliates, its dividends are not subject to
such bank regulatory guidelines. The holders of the Company's common stock
are entitled to receive such dividends as are declared by the Board of
Directors. For a further discussion of dividends, see footnote 12
"Restrictions on Retained Earnings" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
NATIONAL BANKING ASSOCIATION RESTRICTIONS
Uptown is a national banking association, and is limited with respect to
the amount of dividends which they can pay to their shareholders under Sections
56 and 60 of the National Bank Act.
Section 56 restricts a national bank from paying dividends if it would
impair the institution's capital by barring any payments in excess of "net
profits then on hand". Section 56 further requires that a bank deduct losses and
bad debts from "net profits then on hand". It also specifies that a portion of a
bank's capital surplus account may be included as "net profits then on hand" to
the extent that it represents earnings from prior periods.
Section 60 requires the OCC's approval if the total of all dividends
declared in any calendar year will exceed the institution's net profits of that
year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years, less any
required transfers to surplus. In calculating its net profits under Section 60 a
national bank may not add back provisions made to its allowance for loan losses
nor deduct net charge-offs.

<PAGE>
ARIZONA STATE-CHARTERED BANK RESTRICTIONS
Under the provisions of the Arizona Bank Code, dividends may not be
declared by state-chartered banks unless they are made in compliance within the
banking laws of Arizona. Additionally, the payment of dividends by a state-
chartered bank whose deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund, is
affected by the requirement to maintain minimum capital pursuant to the capital
adequacy guidelines issued by the FDIC.

ITEM 7: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
presented in Item 8 of this Form 10-K as well as the section headed Selected
Financial Data presented in Item 6 of this Form 10-K.
This discussion and analysis is intended to address significant factors
affecting the Company's consolidated statements of condition and statements of
income for the past three years. The discussion is designed to provide
shareholders with a comprehensive review of the operating results and financial
condition of the Company.
SUMMARY
The Company's consolidated net income for 1996 totaled $1,154 or $5.21 per
share. This is compared to net income and earnings per share of $1,018 or $4.59
and $806 or $3.63 for 1995 and 1994, respectively. The results of 1996 represent
a 13% improvement in net income from 1995 and a 43% improvement over 1994. As we
noted last year and, again, consistent in the current year, the earnings
improvement is mostly attributable to increased net interest income.
The operating performance of bank holding companies is often measured and
comparisons made based on net income to average assets and net income to average
equity. The Company's return on average shareholders' equity for 1996 was 6.28%
as compared to 5.66% in 1995 and 4.55% in 1994. Return on average assets for
1996 was .54% as compared to .49% in 1995 and .39% in 1994.
Non-performing loans decreased during the past three year period. Non-
performing loans totaled $2,112 or 1.61% of net loans at December 31, 1996 as
compared to $3,799 or 3.42% in 1995 and $3,949 or 4.01% in 1994.
Upbancorp continues to maintain a strong capital base at December 31, 1996
as a result of the improving earnings level and the historical level of
shareholders' investment. Combined capital levels, as well as individual
Subsidiary Banks' capital ratios, are above regulator established minimums.
NET INTEREST INCOME
The major source of income for the Company is net interest income. In 1996,
net interest income provided 81% of Upbancorp's net revenues (net interest
income plus non-interest income), compared with 83% in 1995 and 1994.
Net interest income represents the difference between interest income and
fees earned on loans, securities and other earning assets and interest expense
paid for the funding sources used to finance those assets. This is impacted by
both the volume of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the rates
earned and paid, respectively, on those assets and liabilities. Net interest
margin represents net interest income as a percentage of total interest earning
assets. The Company attempts to favorably impact net interest income through
investment decisions on interest earning assets and monitoring interest rates
its banking subsidiaries offer, particularly rates for time deposits and short
term borrowings.
The following is a summary of net interest margin and net interest income.
For purposes of this discussion, both have been adjusted to a fully tax
equivalent basis for the various tax exempt securities.

</TABLE>
(1) Interest income and yields on non-taxable securities are reflected on a tax
equivalent basis based upon a statutory Federal income tax rate of 34% for
1996, for 1995 and 1994.
Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased by 4.71% or $470
in 1996 over 1995 after increasing by 9.74% or $885 in 1995 compared to 1994.
The tax equivalent net interest margin increased to 4.62% for 1996 as compared
to 4.60% in 1995 and 4.31% in 1994.
The 1996 increase in net interest income was positively affected by
primarily volume variances. A positive $678 variation was attributable to volume
fluctuations while a negative $174 variation was due to the general declines in
rates; the remaining small fluctuation is due to a combination of volume and
rate.
The net positive volume variance is primarily attributable to fluctuations
within the loan category. The largest positive fluctuation of $1,355 between
1996 and 1995 was related to commercial and real estate loan growth. Partially
offsetting this positive fluctuation is a negative volume impact of $365 due to
the reduction in securities.
12
<PAGE>
Volume variances related to the placement of liabilities within the balance
sheet reflects the continuing shift of deposits from shorter term transaction
accounts to longer term fixed rate time deposit accounts. Interest expense
related to short-term growth in borrowings increased $142. These borrowings
were primarily used to fund loan growth. Additionally, deposits in non-interest
bearing accounts increased 8.87% to $35,317 at December 31, 1996. This allowed
the funding of a portion of the loan growth without the offsetting interest
expense.
The net negative fluctuations attributable to rate are reflective of
moderate rate decreases for both earning assets as well as paying liabilities.
Rates received on average earning assets remained flat as compared to decreases
of .02% attributable to interest bearing liabilities.
FUNDS MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The earning asset portfolio of community banks is typically the leading
determinate of performance for the institution. This is because the largest
percentage of total income for the bank is attributable to net interest income.
The policies and practices for managing liquidity risk and interest rate risk
are set by the Subsidiary Banks' Funds Management Committees ("FMCs"), whose
goal is to ensure maximum returns within safe and sound risk parameters. The
FMCs monitor exposures in view of market developments and the Banks' financial
conditions, set guidance for interest rate risk management decisions, ensure
consistency in the measurement of risk and monitors liquidity and capital
adequacy. In this capacity, the FMCs place limits on the level of investments in
various assets and off-balance sheet instruments, as well as on the funding
levels for loans and deposits. In addition, the FMCs establish pricing policies
for the Subsidiary Banks' products and services.
Interest rate risk is the degree to which market interest rate fluctuations
can effect net interest income. The Company not only responds to this interest
rate risk, but also tries to anticipate and build strategies based on the
current interest rate and maturity characteristics of the various balance sheet
categories of assets and liabilities. This is done through a formalized funds
management process and while there are several ways in which to analyze interest
rate risk, the traditional method is called a "gap" analysis. A gap analysis is
a static management tool used to identify mismatches or gaps in the repricing of
assets and liabilities within specified periods of time.
The Company's gap analysis as of December 31, 1996 is presented in Table 3.
Earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are presented within selected
time intervals based upon their repricing and maturity characteristics. In a
perfectly matched gap analysis, an equal amount of rate sensitive assets and
liabilities would be reflected as repricing within each given time interval. A
positive interest rate sensitivity gap indicates more assets than liabilities
will reprice in that time period, while a negative gap indicates more
liabilities will reprice. Generally, a positive gap position, or asset
sensitive position, has a favorable impact on net interest income in periods of
rising interest rates. Conversely, a negative gap would generally imply a
favorable impact on net interest income in periods of declining interest rates.

Table 3 reflects a cumulative asset sensitive balance sheet within
acceptable guidelines established by Company policy. This will more positively
affect net interest income if interest rates rise then if they fall. Upbancorp
and the Subsidiary Banks follow a policy of maintaining a relatively balanced
mix of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, making each side of the balance
sheet equally flexible in reacting to changes in market interest rates so that
net interest income will not be materially affected in periods of rising or
falling interest rates.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
A key element of the Company's FMC process is the management of liquidity.
Liquid funds are needed by the Subsidiary Banks to meet the needs of their
depositors, borrowers and for regulatory requirements. Liquid funds, however,
generally have very low earnings potential and thus careful control of the
Subsidiary Banks liquidity position is needed. Monitoring of this liquidity
position is done daily to ensure constant adequacy and to maintain optimal
levels of liquidity on the balance sheet. Another source of liquidity is off
balance sheet, in the form of pre-approved loan commitments from the Federal
Home Loan Bank and various correspondent banks. For a further review of the
Company's sources and uses of funds, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows found elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
The Company requires adequate liquidity to pay its expenses and pay
shareholder dividends. Liquidity is provided to the parent from subsidiaries in
the form of dividends. Other liquidity is provided by cash balances in banks,
maturing investments and interest on investments. For a discussion of dividend
payment, see footnote 12 "Restrictions on Retained Earnings" in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K. One method
of analyzing the Company's liquidity position is through a careful review of
available funding sources. The following tables provide information as it
pertains to funding sources. The following table reflects a year-to-year
comparison of the sources of the Company's liability funding based upon year-end
balances.

Total funding sources increased 10.7% at December 31, 1996 from prior year

balances while other deposits grew at more moderate levels. For a review of time
deposit maturities, see footnote 6 "Deposits" in the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Borrowing facilities are available to the Subsidiary Banks through various
correspondent banks in the amount of $12,500. These lines are established for
the purpose of borrowing on an overnight basis in the form of Federal Funds. In
addition, Uptown has borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Chicago in the amount of $19,438 for short and long-term borrowings. Heritage
has borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco in the
amount of $9,350 for short and long-term borrowings. These borrowings of Uptown
and Heritage are to be secured by qualifying 1-4 first mortgages, private
mortgage backed securities or U.S. Treasury and Agency obligations.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
A strong capital structure is vital for many reasons, one of which is to
allow the Company the opportunity for future growth. Upbancorp has developed a
policy to manage its capital structure and that of its Subsidiary Banks in
accordance with regulatory guidelines and to ensure appropriate use of this
resource. The Company's capital policy requires that the Company and its
Subsidiary Banks maintain a capital ratio in excess of the minimum regulatory
guidelines. At December 31, 1996, all entities exceeded regulatory established
minimums as defined for "adequately capitalized" institutions.
Total shareholders equity increased 2.29% to $18,856 at December 31, 1996.
Total equity as a percentage of assets was 8.33% at the end of 1996 versus 8.93%
a year earlier. Included in shareholders equity is the net unrealized loss on
securities classified as available-for-sale, which amounted to $589 at the end
of 1996. At the end of 1995, there was an unrealized loss of $386. Without the
impact of this component of shareholders equity, total shareholders equity would
have increased 3.32% in 1996.
See footnote 13 "Regulatory Matters" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

<PAGE>
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan
losses when management believes that the collectibility of the loan principal is
unlikely. The level of the provision for loan losses charged to operating
expense as well as the balances maintained in the allowance for loan losses is
dependent upon many factors, including loan growth, changes in the composition
of the loan portfolio, net charge-off levels, delinquencies, collateral values
and management's assessment of current and prospective economic conditions in
the Company's primary market areas.
The Subsidiary Banks measure the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly
or more frequent basis using three measures of reserve adequacy. The first
measurement compares the allowance as a percentage of the total loan portfolio.
The second test measures the allowance against various loan pools, or types,
using historical and peer group reserve percentages for expectations of possible
loan losses on each category. The third is a detailed evaluation by all loan
officers of classified or non-performing loans to ensure that an adequate
allowance has been established for these individual assets.
The allowance for loan losses is comprised of both allocated and
unallocated allowances in order to quantify future loss potential. The allocated
position represents management's assessment as to potential loss exposure based
on both actual loan losses experienced historically and independent credit
ratings on individual credits. The unallocated portion is that which is not
specifically allocated to a particular loan or general loan category. At
December 31, 1996, the allowance for loan losses was comprised of $1,231 and
$254 of allocated and unallocated reserves, respectively.

As indicated by this table, the provision for loan losses amounted to $914
for 1996 compared to $717 in 1995 and $291 in 1994. This increase in the 1996
provision is reflective of the 1996 charge-offs in addition to the Company's
loan growth.
The allowance for loan losses amounted to $1,485 for 1996 compared to
$1,402 in 1995 and $1,605 in 1994. Allowance levels are the result of the
Company's careful analysis of potential loan losses, the adequacy level as
defined by management's internal analysis, the favorable trends in non-
performing loans and the $896 in charge-offs absorbed during 1996.

<PAGE>
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
One measurement used by management in assessing the risk inherent in the
loan portfolio is the level of non-performing assets. Non-performing assets
consist of both non-accrual loans, investments and other real estate owned. Non-
accrual loans are those loans which have been determined to have reasonable
doubt as to the timely collectibility of interest or principal. Other real
estate owned ("OREO") represents real property which has been acquired through
foreclosure or real estate which a Subsidiary Bank has obtained possession of in
satisfaction of a debt. OREO is carried at the lower of the recorded investment
value of the loan or the estimated fair market value, less estimated disposal
costs, of the related real estate. Past due loans are loans with principal or
interest payments delinquent 90 days or more which are still accruing interest.
The following table summarizes non-performing assets and past due loans for
the past five years as well as certain information related to interest income on
non-accrual loans during 1996:

Non-performing loans decreased to $2,112 at year-end 1996 from $3,799 at
year-end 1995 while total non-performing assets decreased to $2,580 from $5,276
in 1995. This decrease is primarily a result of a reduction in non-accrual loans
and OREO which decreased $1,009 at year-end 1996 to $334 from $1,343 in 1995.
As a result, the percentage of non-performing assets as a percentage of total
assets was reduced 55% to 1.14%.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income consists primarily of service charges on customer
deposit accounts and fees earned from mortgage banking activities. Total non-
interest income increased 23% to $2,440 in 1996 compared to 1995. The continued
improvement in non-interest income reflects the continued diversification of our
sources of revenue. The following table analyzes the various sources of non-
interest income for the years ended December 31, 1994 through 1996.

</TABLE>
Service charges on deposit accounts, the largest component of non-interest
income, consists of fees on both interest bearing and non-interest bearing
deposit accounts and charges for items such as insufficient funds, overdrafts
and stop payment requests. These charges increased 10.3% in 1996 over 1995
levels. This is a result of careful monitoring and analysis of all depository
accounts to ensure maximum recognition of all potential service charges.
Our mortgage banking activities at Heritage have produced revenues from the
sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. Income from mortgage loans
sold in the secondary market was a significant contributor to the Bank's core
earnings performance and does not affect the Bank's capital levels. It also does
not create intangible assets on our balance sheet with respect to loans
originated for sale as we do not participate in servicing or acquiring servicing
rights. Mortgage banking fee income of $625, an increase of 55%, was recognized
in 1996 along with interest income of $48.
Net investment securities gains (losses) result from the sale of securities
from the investment portfolio. The valuation allowance represents writedowns
established on securities which have experienced an other than temporary
deterioration in their market value. For a review of gains and losses related to
the investment portfolio, see footnote 3 "Securities" in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements found elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Total non-interest expense increased $508, or 5.32%, in 1996 after
increasing $104, or 1.10% in 1995. This is reflective of the incremental
increase in salaries and benefits which result from the necessary staffing
enhancements due to the growth experienced both on and off the balance sheet.
Off balance sheet increases are a result of the sale of mortgage loans as well
as the participation of various commercial loans to other banking institutions,
neither of these are carried within the balance sheet asset amounts. A key
indicator of a bank's ability to maintain low overhead while generating net
income is the bank's efficiency ratio. A lower ratio indicates a bank's ability
to maintain a lower cost operation in comparison to the resulting income
produced. The Company's efficiency ratio continues to improve; for the year-
ended December 31, 1996, the Company had a 78% efficiency ratio as compared to
80% for the prior year period. The following table analyzes the various
components of non-interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1994 through

Salaries and benefits have experienced relatively moderate increases over
the past three years. Core employees deliver all services except mortgage
banking. Mortgage banking activities, where loans are sold into the secondary
market, contributed to interest and fee income of the Subsidiary Banks of $673
in 1996.
The reduction in regulatory services/fees is attributable to a decrease in
F.D.I.C. premiums from a high of .29 /$100 deposits in 1994 to .04/$100 deposits
in 1996.
A slight increase of $105 was recognized in non-interest expense other than
salaries and employee benefits, from $4,342 at December 31, 1995 to $4,447 at
December 31, 1996. Management continues to focus on cost containment and this
control of expenses remains a priority as a part of our broader goal of
maximizing long-term profitability.

UPBANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS:
Upbancorp, Inc. ("Upbancorp" or the "Company"), is a multi-bank holding
company, organized in 1983 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company
owns all of the outstanding common stock of Uptown National Bank of Chicago
("Uptown"), organized in 1929 and located in Chicago, Illinois and Heritage Bank
("Heritage"), organized in 1977 and located in Phoenix, Arizona. Upbancorp does
not engage in any activities other than providing administrative services and
acting as a holding company for its subsidiary banks.
The Company's affiliates consist of two full-service community banks, which
operate five banking offices in northern Chicago and metropolitan Phoenix. Both
Subsidiary Banks are engaged in the general commercial banking business in
addition to offering a complete range of retail banking services. The
Subsidiary Banks conduct general banking business which embraces all of the
usual function, both commercial and consumer, and which they may lawfully
provide, including, but not limited to: the acceptance of deposits to demand,
savings, and time accounts and the servicing of such accounts; commercial,
industrial, consumer and real estate lending; collections; safe deposit box
operations; and other banking services tailored for both commercial and retail
clients.
Uptown's wholly-owned subsidiary, Broadway Clark Building Corporation
("BCBC"), is an Illinois corporation and owns all of the real estate that is
used in connection with the operation of Uptown's business with the exception of
one facility.
25
<PAGE>
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Upbancorp and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries Uptown (including its wholly-owned subsidiary
BCBC) and Heritage after elimination of all intercompany balances and
transactions.
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION:
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally
accepted accounting principles. In preparing the accompanying consolidated
financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and
the accompanying notes. Significant estimates which are particularly susceptible
to change in a short period of time include the determination of the allowance
for loan losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1994 consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.
SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY:
Debt securities for which the Banks have both the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at
amortized cost. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, computed
by the interest method over their contractual lives, is included in interest
income.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE:
Securities classified as available-for-sale are those debt securities that
the Banks intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily
to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale
would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest
rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Bank's assets and liabilities,
liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors.
Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized
gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity net of
the related deferred tax effect. The amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts, computed by the interest method over their contractual lives, are
recognized in interest income.
Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific
securities sold, are included in earnings.
Declines in the fair value of individual securities classified as either
held-to-maturity or available-for-sale below their amortized cost that are
determined to be other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual
securities to their fair value with the resulting write-downs included in
current earnings as realized losses.
MORTGAGES HELD-FOR-SALE:
The Company routinely sells to investors its originated residential
mortgage loans and retains no servicing rights relating to these mortgages
sold. Mortgage activity includes both mortgages held-for-sale with
pre-purchase agreements, and loans sold directly into the secondary market.
Mortgages held-for-sale are carried at cost with interest income recognized
until sold. Mortgage banking fees are recorded at the date of sale. For
purposes of this report, mortgages held-for-sale and mortgage banking fees
relate only to these two types of mortgage activities; not to mortgages which
are originated, booked and serviced by the Company. All sales are made
without recourse.
26
<PAGE>
LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES:
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-offs or specific
valuation accounts and net of unearned discount, deferred loan fees and the
allowance for loan losses.
Loan origination and commitment fees are deferred and the net amount is
amortized as an adjustment of the loan yield over the contractual life of the
related loans. Commitment fees based upon a percentage of a customer's unused
line of credit and fees related to standby letters of credit are recognized over
the commitment period.
Unearned interest on discounted loans is amortized to income over the life
of the loans, using the sum-of-month's digits method which approximates the
level yield method. For all other loans, interest is accrued daily on the
outstanding balances. The accrual of interest is discontinued on loans past due
90 days or more. For impaired loans, accrual of interest is discontinued when
management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors,
that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is
doubtful. Interest income on these loans is recognized to the extent interest
payments are received and the principal is considered fully collectible.
A loan is impaired when it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect
all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms
of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value
of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate
or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in
the loan, the impairment, as well as any subsequent changes, is recorded through
a valuation allowance included in the allowance for loan losses.
The Company considers consumer loans and residential real estate loans to
be smaller homogeneous loans that are not considered as impaired loans. All
other loan types are accounted for as impaired loans when they meet the above
criteria.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan
losses when management believes that collectibility of the principal is
unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate
to absorb estimated losses on existing loans, based on an evaluation of the
collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes
into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and
current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay.
While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation,
future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant
changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies
periodically review the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of
collectibility after reviewing the information available to them at the time of
their examination.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT:
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives.
GOODWILL:
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of Heritage Bank is being amortized
on a straight-line basis through 2002. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
goodwill of $276 and $318, net of accumulated amortization, is included in other
assets in the consolidation statements of condition.
27
<PAGE>
INCOME TAXES:
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected
to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the
period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD: The carrying amounts
reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks and federal funds
sold approximate their fair values.
SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY AND AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE: Fair values of
securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted
market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market
prices of comparable instruments.
LOANS AND MORTGAGES HELD-FOR-SALE: The fair values of the loan portfolio
are estimated based upon discounted cash flow analyses that apply using
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to
borrowers with similar credit quality.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES: The fair values disclosed for deposits with no
defined maturities is equal to their carrying amounts which represent the
amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-
term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their
fair value at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed rate certificates
of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that
applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a
schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
BORROWED FUNDS: The carrying amounts of borrowings under repurchase
agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
ACCRUED INTEREST: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate
their fair values.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS: Fair values for the Company's off-balance
sheet lending commitments (letters of credit and commitments to extend
credit) are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and
the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value for such committments
is nominal.
28
<PAGE>
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:
Earnings per common share are determined on the basis of the weighted-
average number of common shares outstanding.
ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENT OF
LIABILITIES:
In June, 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 125 ("SFAS 125") "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". SFAS 125
requires that an entity recognize only those assets that it controls and
liabilities it has incurred. Assets should be recognized until control has been
surrendered, and liabilities should be recognized until they have been
extinguished. Recognition of financial assets and liabilities will not be
affected by the sequence of the transactions unless the effect of the
transactions is to maintain effective control over a transferred financial
asset.
SFAS 125 is effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996,
except for transactions relating to secured borrowings and collateral for which
the effective date is December 31, 1997. The Company believes the adoption of
SFAS 125 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE 2. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Banks are required to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit
with the Federal Reserve Bank, based on a percentage of deposits. The total of
these reserve balances was approximately $1,981 and $1,892 at December 31, 1996
and 1995.

Investment securities carried at approximately $22,976 and $11,061 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were pledged to secure public and
trust deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
During 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to allow all
enterprises to make a reassessment of the classifications of securities made
under SFAS 115. The Company transferred the majority of its securities in the
held-to-maturity classification to securities available-for-sale.

Uptown has an arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago
whereby the FHLB will make advances to the Bank with repayment terms from
overnight to ten years. The Bank is eligible to obtain credit up to 20 times the
member Bank's holding of Federal Home Loan Capital Stock; these eligible
borrowings amount to $19,438. As required under the agreement, the advances can

NOTE 10. RELATED PARTIES
The Banks have entered into transactions with their directors and their
affiliates (related parties). The aggregate amount of loans to such related
parties at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $2,716 and $2,925, respectively.
During 1996, new loans and advances to such related parties amounted to $957
and repayments amounted to $1,166.
NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND CREDIT RISK
The Subsidiary Banks are parties to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized
in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the
extent of involvement a bank has in particular classes of financial
instruments.
The Banks' exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party for commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial
letters of credit is presented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Banks evaluate each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension of credit is based
on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but
may include accounts receivable, marketable securities, inventory, property,
plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties and
residential properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Banks hold various types of collateral (primarily certificates
of deposit) to support those commitments for which collateral is deemed
necessary. Most of the letters of credit expire within twelve months.

Upbancorp leases certain office facilities and equipment under various
operating lease agreements that provide for payment of taxes, insurance and
maintenance costs. These leases generally include renewal options. The future
minimum rental commitments at December 31, 1996 are as follows:

Total minimum payments $ 1,111 $ 74 $ 1,185

---------- ------------ ----------
In the ordinary course of business, the Banks have various outstanding
commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company and
the Banks are defendants in certain claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation
with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected
to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of
the Company.
In addition to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, the
Company, to a certain extent, is exposed to varying risks associated with
concentrations of credit. Concentrations of credit risk generally exist if a
number of counterparties are engaged in similar economic characteristics that
would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly
affected by economic or other conditions.
The Company conducts substantially all of its lending activities
throughout northeastern Illinois and the greater Phoenix metropolitan area.
As of December 31, 1996, loans to customers in Arizona were approximately $44
million. Loans granted to businesses are primarily secured by business
assets, owner-occupied real estate or personal assets of commercial
borrowers. Loans to individuals are primarily secured by automobiles,
residential real estate or other personal assets. Since the Company's
borrowers and its loan collateral have geographic concentration in the
greater Chicago and greater Phoenix metropolitan areas, the Company could
have exposure to a decline in those local economies and real estate markets.
However, management believes that the diversity of its customer base and
local economies, its knowledge of the local markets, and its proximity to
customers limits the risk of exposure to adverse economic conditions.
NOTE 12. RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS
Uptown and Heritage are subject to certain restrictions on the amount of
dividends that they may declare without prior regulatory approval. At
December 31, 1996, approximately $1,249 of retained earnings of Uptown were
available for dividend declaration without prior regulatory approval.
NOTE 13. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and the Banks are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly
additional discretionary - action by regulators that, if undertaken could
have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Company and the Banks must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve qualitative measures of the Company's and the Banks'
assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and the Banks' capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
36
<PAGE>
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and
ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined
in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1
capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes the
Company and the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they
are subject to at December 31, 1996.
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency categorized Uptown as well capitalized and
notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized
Heritage as adequately capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. As a result of this designation, Heritage is currently
paying F.D.I.C. premiums at a rate of .04/$100 in deposits. To be categorized
as well capitalized, the Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1
risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.
There are no conditions or events since that notification that management
believes have changed either Banks' category.
The Company's ratios are presented in the following table:

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
UPBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
To the Shareholders of Upbancorp, Inc.:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by
Management, who is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the data
presented. In the opinion of Management, the financial statements, which
necessarily include amounts based on Management's best estimates and
judgments, have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles appropriate to the circumstances.
Management depends upon the Company's system of internal controls in
meeting its responsibilities for reliable financial statements. This system
is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and
that transactions are properly recorded and executed in accordance with
Management's authorization. Judgments are required to assess and balance the
relative cost and the expected benefits of these controls. As an integral
part of the system of internal controls, the Bank Subsidiaries contract with

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Upbancorp, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of
Upbancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholders'
equity 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 financial position of Upbancorp, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
