ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         Effective at the close of business on December  15, 1998,  Home Bancorp
of Elgin, Inc. ("HBE"), a Delaware  corporation,  was merged (the "Merger") with
and into State Financial Services Corporation ("SFSC"), a Wisconsin corporation,
with SFSC as the surviving corporation. The Merger was consummated in accordance
with the  terms of an  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger,  dated  June 1, 1998 (the
"Merger  Agreement"),  between SFSC and HBE.  Matters with respect to the Merger
were  approved  by  shareholders  of  SFSC  and  HBE  at  special   meetings  of
shareholders of such companies held on November 5, 1998.

         Under the terms of the Merger  Agreement,  each share of common  stock,
$.01  par  value,  of HBE  (the  "HBE  Common  Stock")  issued  and  outstanding
immediately  prior to the  effectiveness  of the Merger was (except as otherwise
provided below) cancelled and converted into the right to receive .914 shares of
common  stock,  $.10 par value,  of SFSC (the "SFSC Common  Stock") plus cash in
lieu of any fractional  shares.  All shares of HBE Common Stock (i) owned by HBE
as  treasury  stock,  (ii)  owned  by the  Home  Bancorp  of  Elgin,  Inc.  1997
Recognition and Retention Plan and not allocated to participants thereunder,  or
(iii)  owned by SFSC  have  been  cancelled  and no SFSC  Common  Stock or other
consideration was given in exchange therefor.  Shares of SFSC Common Stock which
were issued and  outstanding  at the time of the Merger were not affected by the
Merger and remain outstanding.
