                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1

Security Chicago Corp. (the "Corporation") is a one bank holding company which
owns 100% of the voting stock of First Security Bank of Chicago (the "Bank") a
state chartered commercial bank located in Chicago, Illinois.  In the opinion of
management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of normally recurring items) necessary to present fairly
the Corporation's financial position as of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders'
equity for the six month and three month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.
The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and
do not contain certain information included in the Corporation's annual
financial statements and notes thereto.


NOTE 2

Prior to August 1, 1994, the Corporation owned an approximate 20% interest in
First State Bancorp of Princeton, Illinois, Inc. ("Princeton"), a multibank
holding company located in north-central Illinois.  Effective August 1, 1994,
Princeton merged with AMCORE Financial, Inc. ("AMCORE"), a multibank holding
company in northern Illinois.  Pursuant to the terms of the merger the
Corporation exchanged its common stock interest in Princeton for 194,623 shares
of AMCORE common stock.

The Corporation accounted for its ownership interest in Princeton using the
equity method.  Subsequent to the August 1, 1994 exchange of shares, the AMCORE
common shares were classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair
value.  At June 30, 1995, the carrying value of the AMCORE common stock was
$3,483,000.

At June 30, 1994, total assets of Princeton aggregated $159 million.
Princeton's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1994 was $579,000, of
which the Corporation recorded its $114,000 equity interest therein in the
consolidated statement of income as "Equity income in unconsolidated non-
affiliate".


NOTE 3

The Bank has the following contractual amounts of financial instruments
outstanding at June 30, 1995 (in 000's):

          Standby letters of credit            $    480
</TABLE>


NOTE 4

On May 25, 1995, the Bank entered into a contract to purchase a building to
house its main office at 190 E. Delaware, Chicago.  The Bank is committed to
advance approximately $2,800,000 for the purchase of the building and intends
to fund the purchase with cash and cash equivalents.  This transaction is
expected to occur in January 1996.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated net income of the Corporation for the second quarter of 1995
totaled $159,000 or $.76 per share a 40% increase compared to $117,000 or $.54
per share earned for the second quarter of 1994.  Net income was $295,000 or
$1.41 per share and $202,000 or $.93 per share for the six month periods ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The primary factors that led to the
$93,000 (46%) increase in 1995 six month income and the $42,000 (36%) increase
in the second quarter income were improvements in net interest income, deposit
fee income, and reductions in operating expense levels. These improvements were
somewhat offset by a decline in equity earnings from an unconsolidated
subsidiary. These factors are discussed more fully below.

NET INTEREST INCOME:

As is discussed in note 2, in the accompanying June 30, 1995 consolidated
financial statements, in August of 1994 the Corporation received shares in
Amcore Financial, Inc. ("Amcore") in exchange for previously owned shares in
First State Bancorp of  Princeton, Illinois, Inc. ("Princeton") pursuant to a
merger  of these entities.  In the June 30, 1994 income statement, the
Corporation recognized $114,000 of income ($63,000 for the second quarter) on
its investment in Princeton as equity income in an unconsolidated non-affiliate.
This is included in other income on the income statement.  In the June 30, 1995
income statement, the Corporation received $58,000 ($29,000 for the second
quarter) in dividend income from its Amcore investment.  This is included in
interest and dividend income in the June 30, 1995 income statement.  The result
is a $56,000 decrease in income for the six month period and a $34,000 decrease
in income for the second quarter due to this exchange.

Excluding the dividend income of $58,000, net interest income totaled $1,208,000
for the six month period ended June 30,  1995 compared to $1,129,000 in 1994 for
the comparable period.  Interest income increased $153,000 (on a fully tax
equivalent basis using 34% tax rate) over 1994, mainly due to $108,000 increase
in loan income as a result of increased rates over the prior period.  This is
partially offset by a $74,000 increase in interest expense which is primarily
due to increased interest rates as well.  The impact of changes in volumes and
rates for earning assets and interest bearing liabilities is as follows for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The following table analyzes the
change in net interest income, excluding dividend income, on a fully tax
equivalent basis using a 34% tax rate.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the above table, securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are
combined in the rate/volume analysis, and income from the Corporation's
investment in Princeton and Amcore is excluded from net interest income.

As can be seen in the preceding table, the impact of decreases in volumes of
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in 1995 was more than offset by
favorable improvements in rates.

Credit quality and collection experience continued to be good in 1995, resulting
in no provision for loan losses during the first half of 1995 compared to a
modest $2,000 provision for loan losses in the first half of 1994.

CHANGES IN NON-INTEREST INCOME AND NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Service fee income improved $76,000 (26%) and $33,000 (21%) in the 1995 six
month period and three month period , respectively, compared to the year earlier
period, principally as a result of higher fees associated with commercial and
retail demand deposit account products.  This increase was partially offset by a
$26,000 decrease in six month income and a $9,000 decrease in three month income
in Other income components resulting from reduced commissions on mortgage
origination and sales, as well as the Bank's discontinuance of the investment
brokerage function in January 1995.

Operating expenses for the six month period and three month period ended June
30, 1995 decreased $84,000 (6.0%) and $45,000 (6.5%), respectively, over the
1994 periods.  The largest component of the decrease was a reduction in
compensation and benefits of $64,000 and $38,000 for the six month and three
month periods ending June 30, 1995 as the Bank continued its efforts to reduce
the number of full-time equivalents. In addition, various other operating
expenses, none of which were individually significant, decreased by $20,000 and
$7,000 collectively as a result of the Bank's efforts to improve operating
efficiencies.

The provision for income tax for the six month period and three month period
ended June 30, 1995 was $66,000 and $40,000 higher than the same periods for
1994 primarily as a result of an increase of $159,000 and $82,000 in income
before income taxes.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Consolidated total assets aggregated $66 million and $68 million at June 30,
1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.  Most of the decrease in assets was in
fed funds sold and cash and cash equivalents, which were liquidated to fund
decreases in deposits during the six month period.  Securities available-for-
sale decreased by $2 million as a result of maturities, and held-to-maturity
securities were substantially unchanged during the six months ended June 30,
1995.  Similarly, loans were also substantially unchanged in that net loans
increased during the period by $505,000 (1.7%).  Cash and cash equivalents
amounted to $8.4 million at June 30, 1995, which is a strong, high level of
liquidity.

The Corporation's allowance for loan losses was relatively unchanged at $354,000
at June 30, 1995.  The allowance represented 1.2% of outstanding loans at both
June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Bank regulatory agencies have adopted capital standards by which all banks and
bank holding companies will be evaluated.  Under the risk-based method of
measurement, the resulting ratio is dependent upon not only the level of capital
and assets, but the composition of assets and capital and the amount of off-
balance sheet commitments.  Since the Company has consolidated assets of less
than $150 million, regulatory minimum capital tests are applied primarily to the
subsidiary Bank.  In accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Reserve,
unrealized net gains and losses net of deferred income taxes, which are recorded
as an adjustment to equity capital on the financial statements, are not included
in the calculation of these ratios.

The Corporations' equity capital was $8,004,000 at June 30, 1995 compared to
$7,994,000 at December 31, 1994.  The slight increase was primarily attributable
to net income of $295,000 exceeding treasury stock purchases of $266,000 made
during 1995.  The Bank's equity capital was $6,126,000 at June 30, 1995 compared
to $5,782,000 at June 30, 1994.  The increase was attributable to net income for
the period.  The Bank's regulatory capital position was as follows:

Risk-based total capital             8.0%       23.36%      22.24%
Risk-based tier 1 capital            4.0%       22.08%      21.00%
Tier 1 leveraged capital         4.0% - 5.0%     9.69%       8.71%
</TABLE>

Commitments for capital expenditures are an important factor in evaluating
capital adequacy.  Additional capital expenditures are anticipated in
association with the future of the Corporation's main banking facility in
Chicago.  As discussed in note 4, the Bank is committed to advance approximately
$2,800,000 for the purchase of a building to house its main office.  This
transaction is expected to occur in January 1996.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity measures the ability of the Corporation to meet maturing obligations
and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to
fund operations and to provide for customers' credit needs.  The liquidity of
the Corporation principally depends on cash flows from operating activities,
investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and
borrowing and its ability to borrow funds in the money or capital markets.

Net cash outflows resulted primarily from a decrease in deposits of $2.9 million
which was funded through a like decrease in federal funds sold and cash and cash
equivalents.  Cash inflows from the maturity of securities were reinvested in
securities and loans.

                          NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan."
SFAS 114 requires that the fair value of impaired loans be calculated and if the
fair value is less than the loan's carrying value, a valuation allowance be
established.  The adoption of this statement has not had a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.

                 AGREEMENT TO ASSIGN REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT

     This AGREEMENT TO ASSIGN REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT (this "Agreement") is
made in Chicago, Illinois this 25th day of May 1995, by and between LW PARTNERS
VIII LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, an Illinois limited partnership ("LW") and FIRST
SECURITY BANK OF CHICAGO, an Illinois banking corporation ("FSBC").

                                    RECITALS

     A.   Pursuant to a certain Real Estate Sales Contract dated December 2,
1994, as amended by Amendment dated December 21, 1994 (the "Contract"),
Belgravia Group, Ltd. an Illinois corporation (Belgravia"), agreed to purchase
from the University of Chicago, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation (the
"University") certain property and improvements thereon commonly known as 190

"Purchase Price") of $2,350,000, plus or minus prorations and credits.

     B.   Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption dated April 15, 1995,
Belgravia assigned to LW all of Belgravia's right, title and interest under the
Contract and LW assumed all of Belgravia's liabilities and obligations
thereunder.

     C.   LW desires to further assign all of its right, title and interest in
and to the Contract to FSBC.

     NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

     1.   ASSIGNMENT.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, LW
shall transfer, assign and set over unto FSBC all of the right, title and
interest of LW in and to the Contract.  Such assignment shall be automatically
effective without further action of the parties immediately upon the later to

the Contract), the

<PAGE>
sum of $5,000 and (b) in the event LW increases the earnest money under the
Contract by $50,000 pursuant to Section 3 of the Contract, FSBC shall deposit
into the Escrow, within five days after notice is delivered to FSBC that LW has
made such $50,000 payment, the sum of $50,000.  All deposits made by FSBC under
this Section 2 shall be deemed to be "Earnest Money" hereunder.  All interest
earned on deposits in the Escrow shall be paid to FSBC except upon a default by
FSBC under this Agreement, in which event such amounts shall be paid to LW.

     3.   ASSIGNMENT PAYMENT.  In consideration of: LW's assignment of the
Contract to FSBC, LW's satisfaction of the Zoning Condition and as reimbursement
for all costs incurred or to be incurred by LW in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Contract and this Agreement, FSBC shall pay to
LW the sum of $450,000, as provided in Section 8 below.  Said sum shall be due
and payable by cashier's check or wired funds at the Closing (hereinafter
defined).

     4.   ZONING PERIOD.  LW shall cause the 120-day zoning period set forth in
Paragraph R.4(b) of the Contract to be extended as provided therein for such
time as may be necessary for LW to pursue satisfaction of the Zoning Condition
and shall pay to the University the Monthly Extension Fee (as defined in the
Contract) on or before the date due each month.

     5.   ENVIRONMENTAL.
          (a)  Within thirty days from the date hereof, LW shall deliver to FSBC
     a Phase I environmental report of the Property, which report shall be
     prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to FSBC
     and which shall be addressed to FSBC.  If such environmental report
     indicates that the University has not complied with its obligations under
     the Contract or has breached any representation or warranty set forth in
     the Contract or if FSBC, in its reasonable discretion, is otherwise
     dissatisfied with the environmental condition of the Property, FSBC shall
     have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to LW within
     thirty days after delivery of the report, in which event the Earnest Money
     and all interest thereon shall promptly be returned to FSBC.  The
     provisions of this subsection (a) shall not be effective with respect to
     the existence of asbestos at the Property, such matters being governed by
     subsection (b) below.

          (b)  Within thirty days from the date of delivery of Phase I report
     described above, LW shall obtain a contractor's proposal for the removal of
     all asbestos from the Property.  Such proposal shall be prepared by a
     contractor reasonably acceptable to FSBC.  At the Closing, LW shall: (i)
     cause the University to grant a credit against the Purchase Price for an
     amount equal to the cost for the removal of all asbestos from the Property
     as set forth in LW's contractor's proposal, and (ii) pay to FSBC any such
     amounts not so credit by the University.

                                        2
<PAGE>
          (c)  Without limiting the generality of other provisions of this
     Agreement, LW shall cause the University to comply with all requirements in
     the Contract regarding the remediation of hazardous materials upon the
     Property and delivery of appropriate evidence of compliance with laws
     regarding the prior removal of underground storage tanks and the issuance
     of all appropriate governmental certificates and documents with respect to
     such removal.  In the absence of contrary notice from FSBC to LW during the
     thirty day period following delivery of the Phase I report as described in
     subsection (a) above, LW shall be deemed to have complied with its
     obligations under this subsection (c).

     6.   ZONING.  LW represents that it has filed with the City of Chicago on
or about April 5, 1995 an application to amend the zoning classification of the
Property from R8 to B6-6.  LW shall, at its sole cost and expense, proceed in
good faith and with due diligence to pursue such application, attend all
hearings and take all other appropriate action as shall be necessary or
appropriate to effect a change of zoning classification of the Property to B6-6
so as to allow the Property to be operated as a banking facility (the successful
completion of such zoning change is herein referred to as the "Zoning
Condition").  If the Zoning Condition is not fully satisfied on or prior to
December 1, 1995, FSBC may, at its election and upon notice to LW terminate this
Agreement in which event the Earnest Money and all interest thereon shall be
promptly paid to FSBC and neither party shall thereafter have any rights or
claims against the other party.

     7.   SURVEY.  LW shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause the Survey
(hereinafter defined) to be certified to FSBC and FSBC's designees and deliver
the same to FSBC at Closing.  Subject to the foregoing, FSBC hereby accepts the
Survey, provided that LW shall cause the title policy that is to be delivered to
FSBC at Closing to contain an encroachment endorsement against loss or damage
arising out of the .02 foot encroachment of the building located at the
southeast corner of the Property as noted on the Survey.

     8.   CLOSING.  The closing for the purchase of the Property (the "Closing")
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract, be on a date
selected by FSBC (as designated on a notice given to LW not later than ten days
prior to the Closing) on or about December 5, 1995, but in no event earlier than
December 2, 1995 nor later than February 15, 1996.  At the Closing, FSBC shall
pay to the University all sums required under the Contract for the purchase of
the Property.  At the Closing (a) the earnest money deposited under the Contract
by LW (and interest thereon) and the Monthly Extension Fees paid by LW shall be
credit against the Purchase Price; (b) all of the Earnest Money and all interest
thereon shall be returned to FSBC; and (c) subject to Section 5(b) above, FSBC
shall pay to LW $450,000 plus the sums credited against the Purchase Price under
the foregoing clause (a).  LW shall direct the University to convey title to the
Property directly to FSBC's designated nominee at the Closing, subject to the
terms of this Agreement.

     (a)  If FSBC fails to perform any of FSBC's obligations under this
     Agreement and such failure continues more than five days after notice to
     FSBC, then LW's sole and exclusive remedies against FSBC shall be to (i)
     terminate this Agreement in which event the Earnest Money and all interest
     thereon shall be paid to LW as liquidated damages; and (ii) if, during a
     period of six months following such termination, neither Belgravia, nor LW
     or any of their respective officers, shareholders, employees, directors or
     affiliates, or David W Ruttenberg or any of his relatives, partners or
     employees or any entity in which any of said persons has a financial
     interest purchases, leases or exchanges the Property, acquires any
     financial interest in the Property, receives any fee, commission or
     compensation with respect to the sale, lease or exchange of the Property,
     or enters into any written or oral agreement with respect to any of the
     foregoing,or is otherwise involved in any financial transaction with
     respect to the Property, then FSBC shall also pay to LW, with ten days
     following the expiration of said six month period, the sum of $50,000 as
     additional liquidated damages.  If any such uncured failure occurs after
     the assignment of the Contract to FSBC has become effective, FSBC shall,
     upon notice from LW, immediately reassign the Contract to LW.

          (b)  If LW fails to perform any of LW's obligations under this
     Agreement or any representation or warranty of LW set forth herein is
     breached, and such failure or breach continues more than five days after
     notice to LW, then FSBC, at its election, may exercise any one or more of
     the following remedies:

               (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to LW in which event the
          Earnest Money and all interest thereon shall be returned to FSBC;

               (ii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement; and

               (iii) pursue any other rights or remedies to which FSBC may be
          entitled at law or in equity, provided that if any such failure is due
          to the default by the University under the Contract without fault by
          LW, FSBC shall have no right to collect money damages from LW on
          account thereof.

          (c)  If the University breaches or defaults under its obligations
     under the Contract, and such breach or default continues for five days
     after notice from FSBC to LW, FSBC may, at its election, exercise any one
     or more of the following remedies:

               (i) if such breach or default occurs prior to the effective date
          of the assignment of the Contract to FSBC: (A) terminate this
          Agreement in which event the Earnest Money and all interest thereon
          shall be returned to FSBC; or (B) cause LW, at LW's cost and expense,
          to enforce such obligations or otherwise pursue its rights and
          remedies under the Contract, as directed by FSBC; and

                                        4

          the assignment of the Contract to FSBC, pursue its rights and remedies
          under the Contract, in which event LW shall be obligated to cooperate
          with FSBC in such efforts.

     10.  BANKING APPROVAL.  Promptly following the full execution and delivery
of this Agreement, FSBC shall seek all bank regulatory governmental approvals
and consents for the operation of a banking facility at the Property as FSBC
shall, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or appropriate (the "Banking
Approval").  In the event, for any reason, the Banking Approval is not obtained
on or prior to October 2, 1995, FSBC may, at its election, upon notice to LW
delivered not later than October 6, 1995, terminate this Agreement, in which
event all Earnest Money and interest thereon shall be promptly returned to FSBC.
