(the "Company").  The address of the principal executive offices of the Company
is 3301 West Vollmer Road, Flossmoor, Illinois 60422.

         The persons filing this statement are Financial Institution Partners,
L.P. (the "Limited Partnership") and Hovde Capital, Inc., (the "General
Partner"), who are collectively referred to  herein as the "Reporting Persons."
The Limited Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership formed for the
purpose of investing in, among other things, the equity securities of various
financial institutions.  The General Partner, a Delaware corporation, is the
general partner of the Limited Partnership.

         Attached as Schedule 1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein is

         None of the Reporting Persons or executive officers, directors or
controlling persons of the General Partner have, during the last five years,
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or

administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding of any violation with respect to
such laws.

         The Reporting Persons do not believe that they constitute a "group"
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Nevertheless, the Reporting Persons are making this filing because of the
possibility that they may be deemed a group, although each of the Reporting
Persons disclaims any membership in, and the existence of, such a group.
Neither the making of this filing nor any statement contained herein shall be
deemed to be an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that a group exists.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
