                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West Suburban
Bancorp, Inc. (the "Parent") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Subsidiaries" and together with the Parent, the "Company"): West Suburban Bank;
West Suburban Bank of Downers Grove/Lombard; West Suburban Bank of Darien; West
Suburban Bank of Carol Stream/Stratford Square; and West Suburban Bank of
Aurora, F.S.B. ("WSB Aurora"). Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and are prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual financial
statements have been omitted. The interim financial statements and notes should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company.
The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which
were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of
the results for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to
the 1996 presentation.

NOTE 2 - SECURITIES

The Company does not invest in trading securities. Securities held to maturity
are classified as such only when the Company determines it has both the ability
and positive intent to hold these securities to maturity. All other securities
are classified as available for sale. Held to maturity securities are carried at
amortized cost while available for sale securities are carried at fair value
with net unrealized gains and losses (net of taxes) reported as a separate
component of equity. Gains or losses on disposition are based on the net
proceeds and the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the
specific identification method.

During the first six months of 1996, the Company's unrealized loss, net of
taxes, on securities available for sale increased $1.8 million to a loss of $1.6
million at June 30, 1996 from a gain of ($.2) million at December 31, 1995.

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

The Company had $7.2 million and $4.4 million of commitments to originate
residential mortgage loans as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively.

NOTE 4 - OTHER REAL ESTATE

Other real estate includes properties acquired in partial or total settlement of
problem loans. The properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value
less estimated selling costs at the date acquired. Losses arising at the time of
acquisition of such properties are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any
subsequent decline in value is charged to current operations. The revenue
received from, and expenses incurred in, maintaining such properties are also
included in current operations. The amounts the Company ultimately recovers from
the sale of other real estate could differ materially from the amounts used in
determining the net carrying value of the assets because the amounts ultimately
recovered are affected by market factors beyond

                                                                               8

<PAGE>

the Company's control or changes in the Company's strategy for marketing the
assets. Management believes the net carrying value of its other real estate at
June 30, 1996 is a reasonable estimate of the amount that the Company will
ultimately recover upon disposition of the other real estate.

NOTE 5 - ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In March 1995, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", which requires
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles that are used in
operations be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets might not be
recoverable. SFAS 121 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company adopted SFAS 121 on January
1, 1996. The adoption of SFAS 121 has not had a material impact on the Company's
financial condition or its results of operations.

In May 1995, FASB issued SFAS 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights",
which requires certain accounting for mortgage servicing rights and the
valuation and recognition of impairment of mortgage servicing rights. SFAS 122
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company
adopted SFAS 122 on January 1, 1996. The adoption of SFAS 122 has not had a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or its results of
operations.

                                                                               9

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

ASSET DISTRIBUTION. Total assets at June 30, 1996 remained nearly unchanged from
total assets at December 31, 1995. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased
approximately $31.3 million (35.5%) to $57.0 million at June 30, 1996 from $88.3
million at December 31, 1995. This was principally due to the decrease in
Federal funds sold of approximately $37.3 million to $.8 million at June 30,
1996 from $38.1 million at December 31, 1995. Aggregate holdings in investment
securities increased $8.3 million (3.3%) to $258.9 million at June 30, 1996 from
$250.6 million at December 31, 1995. This was due to the Company shifting a
portion of its Federal funds sold balances into investment securities, increased
loan demand, and reduction in customer certificates of deposit. The Company's
objectives in managing its securities portfolio are driven by the dynamics of
the entire balance sheet which includes monitoring the maturity structure of its
portfolio, along with general economic conditions including the interest rate
environment. In managing its portfolio, the Company seeks to minimize credit
risk while achieving an acceptable rate of return.

Total loans increased $19.7 million (2.6%) to $789.3 million at June 30, 1996
from $769.6 million at December 31, 1995. The Company benefitted from continued
growth in the commercial sector arising from the strength of the economy, along
with successful marketing of its products. The Company will attempt to remain
competitive in its market by offering competitive rates on its loan products
while not compromising its credit evaluation standards or net interest margins
to attract new business.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ASSET QUALITY. The allowance is an amount that
management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may
become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and
prior loan loss experience. In determining the proper level for the allowance,
management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance based on past loan loss
experience, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations
that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any
underlying collateral and current and prospective economic conditions. The
allowance for loan losses increased $.6 million to $9.5 million at June 30, 1996
from $8.9 million at December 31, 1995. The ratio of the allowance for loan
losses to total loans outstanding increased at June 30, 1996 to 1.20% compared
to 1.16% at December 31, 1995. Nonperforming loans decreased $.3 million (2.3%)
to $11.6 million at June 30, 1996 from $11.9 million at December 31, 1995. As of
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, total nonperforming loans to net loans were
1.5% and 1.6%, respectively.

The following table presents an analysis of the Company's nonperforming loans
for the periods stated (dollars in thousands):

LIABILITY DISTRIBUTION. Total liabilities decreased $4.3 million (.4%) to
$1,039.9 million at June 30, 1996 from $1,044.2 million at December 31, 1995.
This decrease was primarily due to decreases in deposits which were partially
offset by increases in FHLB advances of $10.7 million the excess of which was
used to fund increased loan demand. The Company also experienced increases in
Federal funds purchased and other liabilities of $1.0 and $3.3 million,
respectively.

Balances in the Company's major categories of deposits are summarized in the

The Company attempts to remain highly competitive in its market by offering
competitive rates on its savings and certificate of deposit products. Although
the Company promotes its savings products when appropriate, management does not
intend to compromise its net interest margin to attract deposits.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY. Shareholders' equity increased $4.5 million (4.2%) to
$114.7 million at June 30, 1996 from $110.2 million at December 31, 1995. This
increase was the result of the net retention of 1996 earnings of $6.3 million
offset by the increase in unrealized loss on securities available for sale of
$1.8 million (net of taxes) to a loss of $1.6 million at June 30, 1996 from a
gain of ($.2) million at December 31, 1995.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's capital ratios as well as those of its subsidiaries as of June 30,
1996 are presented below. All such ratios are in excess of the regulatory
capital requirements which call for a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of
8% for the Company and each of its subsidiaries (at least one half of the
minimum total risk-based capital must consist of tier 1 capital), a minimum
leverage ratio (3% for the most highly rated banks that do not expect
significant growth; all other institutions are required to maintain a minimum
leverage capital ratio of 4% to 5% depending on their particular circumstances
and risk profiles) for the Company and its bank subsidiaries and a minimum
tangible capital ratio and core capital ratio of 1.5% and 3%, respectively, for
the Company's thrift subsidiary. Bank holding companies and their subsidiaries
are generally expected to operate at or above the minimum capital requirements
and the ratios shown below are in excess of regulatory minimums and should allow
the Company and its subsidiaries to operate without capital adequacy concerns.

                                                                              11

At June 30, 1996 WSB Aurora maintained a core capital ratio of 10.81%, a
tangible capital ratio of 12.86% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.87%.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
provided the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt
corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The
extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the institution in question
is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized,"
"significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." Depending
upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators'
corrective powers include: requiring the submission of a capital restoration
plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on activities; requiring
the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting
stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions with affiliates; restricting
the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election
of directors of the institution; requiring that senior executive officers or
directors be dismissed; prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from
correspondent banks; requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries;
prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and
ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution. Management has been
advised that as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, each of the subsidiaries
qualified as a "well-capitalized" institution.

LIQUIDITY

Effective liquidity management allows a banking institution to accommodate the
changing net funds flow requirements of customers who may deposit or withdraw
funds or modify their credit requirements. The Company manages its liquidity
position through continuous monitoring of profitability trends, asset quality,
interest rate sensitivity and maturity schedules of earning assets and
supporting liabilities.

Generally, the Company uses cash and cash equivalents to meet its liquidity
needs. Additional liquidity is provided by maintaining assets which mature
within a short time-frame or which may be quickly converted to cash without
significant costs. These assets include interest-bearing deposits in financial
institutions, Federal funds sold and investment securities available for sale.
As of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, liquid assets represented 16.1% and
19.3% of total assets, respectively. A more detailed discussion concerning these
assets is presented under the Asset Distribution section of this report.

RATE SENSITIVITY GAPS

The Company attempts to maintain a conservative posture with regard to interest
rate risk, actively managing its asset/liability gap positions and constantly
monitoring the direction and magnitude of gaps and risk. The Company attempts to
moderate the effects of changes in interest rates by adjusting its asset and
liability mix to achieve desired relationships between rate sensitive assets and
rate sensitive liabilities. Rate sensitive assets and liabilities are those
instruments that reprice within a given time period. An asset or liability
reprices when it is subject to change or upon its maturity.

Movements in general market interest rates are a key element in changes in the
net interest margin. The Company's policy is to manage its balance sheet so that
fluctuations in net interest margins are minimized

                                                                              12

regardless of the level of interest rates, although the net interest margin does
vary somewhat due to management's response to increasing competition from other
financial institutions.

Listed below are the balances in the major categories of the rate sensitive
assets and liabilities that are subject to repricing as of June 30, 1996
(dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>

The above table does not necessarily indicate the future impact of general
interest rate movements on the Company's net interest income because the
repricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to
competitive and other pressures. As a result, assets and liabilities indicated
as repricing within the same period may, in fact, reprice at different times and
at different rate levels. Assets and liabilities are reported in the earliest
time frame in which maturity or repricing may occur. The consolidated interest
rate sensitivity position of the Company within the one year window at June 30,
1996 reflects cumulative net interest-earning assets compared to cumulative net
interest-bearing liabilities of 87.1% and cumulative net interest-earning assets
that reprice or mature within one year compared to total assets of negative
9.2%. The percentage indicated for the cumulative net interest-earning assets as
a percentage of net interest-bearing liabilities are well within the Company's
target range of acceptable gap values for the three month to twelve month time
frames.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

NET INCOME. The Company's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 was approximately $9.9 million and $6.4 million, respectively. This
represents an increase of $3.5 million (54.2%) for the 1996 period when compared
to the same period in 1995. The Company's net interest income increased $2.8
million (12.6%) to $25.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from
$22.5 million for the same period ended in 1995. This increase was primarily due
to increases in the loan portfolio. The Company also experienced a net increase
in gains on sale of investment securities available for sale of $.3 million
during this period. The Company also recorded other income of approximately $1.1
million from a refund of the over funding of a terminated benefits plan of WSB
Aurora. These increases to income were partially offset by increases to total
other operating expenses of $.2 million and to income tax expense of $1.0
million.

INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased
$3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period
in 1995. This increase resulted from increases of $3.7 million from volume
increases offset by ($.3) million from rate changes. The principal component of
this increase was interest on loans which rose by $2.5 million. Of this
increase, $2.2 million was attributable to higher volume and $.3 million was due
to increases in interest rates.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense increased $.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period during 1995. Interest on
deposits increased $.4 million during this time. Of this increase $1.4 million
was due to higher average balances which was offset by ($1.0) million due to
changes in interest rates.

The following table reflects the extent to which changes in the volume of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in interest
rates have affected net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the period
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 (dollars in
thousands):

</TABLE>

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company's provision for loan losses decreased $.1
million (13.9%) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same
period in 1995. The provision for loan losses is based on management's
determination that the allowance for loan losses (after giving effect to the
provision) was adequate. A more detailed discussion concerning the allowance
for loan losses is presented in the Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality
section of this report.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME. Total other income increased $1.7 million (44.8%) for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. This
increase was primarily due to the recording of $1.1 million of income from a
refund of the over funding of a terminated benefits plan of WSB Aurora. The
Company also experienced a gain on investment securities available for sale of
$.3 million during this period.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE. Total other expense increased $.2 million (1.0%) for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Salary
and employee benefits increased $.7 million due primarily to increased salaries
associated with the opening of new facilities. Other operating expenses
increased $.3 million during this same period. FDIC insurance premiums declined
$.9 million due to changes in the rate structure for deposit insurance and the
determination that the Company's bank subsidiaries qualify to pay the lowest
deposit insurance rates available from the FDIC. Professional fees declined $.2
million during this same period. Occupancy expense and furniture and equipment
expense increased $.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. These
increases were primarily due to expenses incurred with the opening and operation
of new facilities.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased $1.0 million (23.3%) for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 to $5.4 million from $4.4 million compared to the
same period in 1995. The increase was principally due to higher taxable income
and was offset by provisions made during the first six months of 1995 for
potential adjustments to prior years' income tax returns.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

NET INCOME. The Company's net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 was approximately $5.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively which
represents an increase of $1.9 million (53.9%) for the 1996 period when compared
to the same period in 1995. The Company's net interest income increased $1.0
million (8.8%) to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from
$11.5 million for the same period ended in 1995. This increase was primarily due
to decreases in deposit interest expense of $.7 million. The Company also
recorded income of approximately $1.1 million from the refund of the over
funding of a terminated benefits plan of WSB Aurora. The Company also
experienced decreases to total other operating expenses of $.2 million. The
increases to income were partially offset by an increase to income tax expense
of $.7 million.

                                                                              15

INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income increased $.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 and resulted from
increased volume in the loan and securities portfolio.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense decreased $.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period during 1995 and resulted
from lower certificate of deposit balances.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company's provision for loan losses decreased $.1
million (26.8%) for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same
period in 1995. The provision for loan losses is based on management's
determination that the allowance for loan losses (after giving effect to the
provision) was adequate.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME. Total other income increased $1.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. This increase
was primarily due to the recording of $1.1 million of income from the refund of
the over funding of a terminated benefits plan of WSB Aurora. This gain was
partially offset by the recording of a lower gain on investment securities
available for sale of $.1 million during this period.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE. Total other expense decreased $.2 million (2.8%) for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Salary
and employee benefits increased $.3 million due primarily to increased salaries
associated with the opening of new facilities. FDIC insurance premiums declined
$.4 million due to changes in the rate structure for deposit insurance and the
determination that the Company's bank subsidiaries qualify to pay the lowest
deposit insurance rates available from the FDIC. Professional fees declined $.2
million during this same period. Furniture and equipment expense increased $.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily
due to expenses incurred with the opening and operation of new facilities. Other
operating expenses increased $.1 million during this period.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased $.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 to $3.1 million from $2.4 million compared to the same
period in 1995. The increase was principally due to higher taxable income and
was offset by provisions made during the first six months of 1995 for potential
adjustments to prior years' income tax returns.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Earnings of bank and thrift holding companies and their subsidiaries are
affected by general economic conditions and also by the fiscal and monetary
policies of federal regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. Such policies have affected the operating results of all
commercial banks and thrifts in the past and are expected to do so in the
future. The Company cannot accurately predict the nature or the extent of any
effects which fiscal or monetary policies may have on its subsidiaries' business
and earnings.
