REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stockholder of
Johnson Bank Illinois:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Johnson Bank Illinois (an
Illinois banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson
International, Inc.) as of December 31, 1999, and the related statement of
income, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1999. 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 audits.

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 Johnson Bank Illinois as of
December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year
ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 1999

                    (Dollars in thousands, except share data)


     (1)  Accounting Policies

     Johnson Bank Illinois (the "Bank") was purchased in 1990 and is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson International, Inc., a multi-bank holding
company which is privately held. As discussed in Note 15, in February 2000, the
stock of the Bank was sold to PrivateBancorp, Inc. The Bank serves retail and
commercial customers primarily in metropolitan Chicago. The financial statements
of Johnson Bank Illinois have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and reporting practices prescribed for the
banking industry. A description of the significant accounting policies follows:

          (a) Statement of Cash Flows

          For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold, all of
which have initial maturities of generally three months or less. Cash and Due
From Banks totaling $355 are restricted at December 31, 1999, to meet the
reserve requirements of the Federal Reserve System.

          (b) Securities

          Securities for which management has the intent and ability to
hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and
accretion of discount as calculated under the level yield method. Securities
available for sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
and applicable income taxes reported as other comprehensive income in a separate
component of stockholder's equity.

          Investment security transactions are recorded as of the settlement
date, the result of which is not materially different from the trade
date results. The specific identification method is used in determining the cost
and related gains and losses on securities sold.

          (c) Loans

          Loans are generally reported at the principal amount outstanding, with
interest accrued daily using the level yield method.

          Loan origination and commitment fees, offset by certain direct loan
origination costs, are being deferred and the net amount amortized as an
adjustment of the related loan's yield. The Bank is generally amortizing these
amounts over the contractual life of the related loans.

          Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is
past due 90 days or more. All loans classified as nonaccrual are considered to
be impaired. Any shortfall in the estimated value of an impaired loan compared
with the recorded investment of the loan is identified as an allocated portion
of the allowance for loan losses and is one of the factors considered by
management in their overall assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses. Interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed and charged
against interest income at the time the related loan is placed on nonaccrual
status. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to an accrual basis when interest and
principal payments are brought current and when collectibility is not in doubt.

          (d) Allowance for Loan Losses

          The allowance for loan losses is determined by management based on
factors such as past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic
conditions and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over
time. Management adjusts the allowance for loan losses by recording a provision
for loan losses in an amount sufficient to maintain the

                                        8

<PAGE>

                             JOHNSON BANK ILLINOIS
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUTED
                               DECEMBER 31, 1999

allowance at a level commensurate with the risks in the loan portfolio. Loans
are charged off when deemed to be uncollectible by management.

          (e) Bank Premises and Equipment

          Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.

          (f) Income Taxes

          The Bank accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability
approach for accounting for income taxes with the objective of recognizing the
amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax
assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences that have been recognized
in a company's financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of tax
assets and liabilities is based on tax rates in enacted tax laws. Deferred tax
assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not
expected to be realized based on available evidence.

          (g) Earnings Per Share

          The Bank accounts for and reports earnings per share using a dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per common
share are determined by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of
common shares. There are no dilutive instruments.

          (h) Derivatives

          In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives
Instruments and for Hedging Activities." It requires that all derivatives be
recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and be measured at fair
value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically
designated as a hedging instrument. The statement is effective for fiscal
quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. As the Bank does not own any derivative
instruments, this statement is expected to have no effect on the Bank's reported
financial position and the results of operations.

          (i) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     (2)  Earnings Per Share

     The following table contains a reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for
the year ended December 31, 1999:

     Directors and executive officers of the Bank were clients of and had
transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business during the period
presented above and additional transactions may be expected in the future. In
management's opinion, all outstanding loans, commitments and deposit
relationships included in such transactions were made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with others, and did not involve more than a normal
risk of collectibility or other unfavorable features.

     During 1999, the Bank paid expenses in the amount of $969 to the Parent for
management and data processing services performed. Cash held in an account at an
affiliated bank totaled $1,215 at December 31, 1999.

     The Bank sold approximately $977 of loans during 1999 to an affiliated bank
at book value. As part of the definitive agreement, $5.7 million in loans were
transferred to the Bank from an affiliate bank. In addition, $980 in Federal
funds were purchased from an affiliate bank as of December 31, 1999.

     (11)  Credit-Related Instruments

     The Bank has credit-related instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients. 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 financial statements. Credit risk
represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if
counterparties failed to completely perform as contracted.

     The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments, assuming that the amounts are fully advanced and that collateral or
other security is of no value. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments. At December 31, 1999, the Bank had the following categories of
credit-related financial instruments (at contract amount):

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUTED
                               DECEMBER 31, 1999

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client 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 Bank evaluates each client's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary, upon extension of credit is based on management's credit
evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing
commercial properties.

     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private business activities of Bank
clients. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially
the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Bank
holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed
necessary.

     (12)  Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Loan concentrations are defined as amounts loaned to a multiple number of
borrowers engaged in similar activities, which would cause them to be similarly
impacted by economic or other conditions. The Bank grants loans to clients
located primarily in the metropolitan Chicago area. There are no other
significant concentrations of loans and commitments to make loans other than the
categories of loans disclosed in Note 4.

     (13)  Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The following presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the
various classes of financial instruments held by the Bank at December 31, 1999.
Because no active market exists for a significant portion of the financial
instruments presented below and the inherent imprecision involved in the
estimation process, management does not believe the information presented
reflects the amounts that would be received if the Bank's assets and liabilities
were sold nor does it represent the fair value of the Bank as an entity.

     Where possible, the Bank has utilized quoted market prices to estimate fair
value. Since quoted market prices were not available for a significant portion
of the financial instruments, the fair values were approximated using discounted
cash flow techniques. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time,
based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic
conditions, risk conditions, risk characteristics of various financial
instruments and other factors. These estimates do not reflect any premium or
discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank's entire
holdings of a particular financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and,
therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.

</TABLE>

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments. These assumptions were based on
subjective estimates of market conditions and perceived risks of the financial
instruments at a certain point in time.

          (a)  Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accrued Interest Receivable and
               Interest Payable

          For these short-term instruments, the carrying value approximates fair
value because these instruments are short-term in nature and do not present
unanticipated credit concerns.

          (b)  Securities

          For securities held to maturity or available for sale, fair values are
based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not
available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
instruments.

          (c)  Net Loans

          Loans that reprice or mature within three months of December 31, are
assigned fair values based on their carrying values. The fair value of remaining
loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows using current interest
rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers of comparable credit
worthiness.

          (d)  Deposit Liabilities

          The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
non-interest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing deposits, savings and money
market deposit accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of
year-end. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted
value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

          (e)  Funds Borrowed

          Rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

          (f)  Unrecognized Financial Instruments

          The fair value of unrecognized financial instruments, including
commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial
guarantees, is insignificant and, therefore, not presented.

(14)  Regulatory Requirements

     The Bank is subject to Federal and state laws, which restrict the payment
of dividends. Based on these restrictions, at December 31, 1999, the Bank could
have declared no dividends without requesting approval of the applicable Federal
or state regulatory agency.

                                DECEMBER 31, 1999

     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements as
established by the applicable Federal or state banking regulatory authorities.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance
sheet items. The quantitative measures for capital adequacy require the Bank to
maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk weighted
assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (leverage). The Bank's capital
components, classification, risk weightings and other factors are also subject
to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Management
believes that as of December 31, 1999, the Bank meets all minimum capital
adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

     The following table presents selected capital information for the Bank as
of December 31, 1999:

b.   PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
     -------------------------------

     The following unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Financial Condition
as of December 31, 1999 and unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Income for
the year ended December 31, 1999, are based on the audited historical results of
each of PrivateBancorp, Inc. and Johnson Bank Illinois as of and for the year
ended as of such date, adjusted to give effect to the merger of Johnson Bank
Illinois with and into the wholly-owned bank subsidiary of PrivateBancorp, Inc.
as if the merger had occurred at the beginning of the period. The pro forma
combined financial information has been prepared using the purchase method of
accounting.

     Pro forma adjustments and the assumptions on which they are based are
described below in the accompanying footnotes to the pro forma combined
financial statements. The pro forma information does not take into account
certain items which have impacted and will impact the financial condition,
consolidated results of operations and reported amounts of PrivateBancorp after
February 11, 2000, the effective date of the merger. The pro forma combined
financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually
would have occurred had the businesses been operated as a single consolidated
entity during the reported period, nor are they indicative of future results of
operations.

Note 1:   Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------

          The merger is being accounted for by PrivateBancorp, Inc. using the
purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion ("APB") No. 16, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 72. Under this method, the aggregate cost of the consolidation is allocated
to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values
at the closing date. Estimates of the fair values of Johnson Bank Illinois'
assets and liabilities as of the February 11, 2000 acquisition date have been
used to adjust book values of Johnson Bank Illinois at December 31, 1999.

          The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Financial Condition is
based on the combination of the audited statements of financial condition of
Johnson Bank Illinois, and of PrivateBancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, adjusted
for the impact of APB No. 16, as well as the estimated impact of the financing
obtained to execute the transaction. The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement
of Income for the year ended December 31, 1999, is based on the combination of
the audited income statement of Johnson Bank Illinois and the audited
consolidated statement of income of PrivateBancorp, Inc. and subsidiary,
adjusted for the impact of APB No. 16, as well as the estimated impact of the
financing needed to execute the transaction.

Note 2:   Cash and Due From Banks
          -----------------------

          In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement relating to the
merger, PrivateBancorp, Inc. paid $20 million to acquire all of the stock of
Johnson Bank Illinois. Of this amount, $15 million was paid in cash and the
balance was paid in the form of a $5 million subordinated note issued to Johnson
International, Inc., parent company of Johnson Bank Illinois. The cash portion
of the purchase price was funded $7.5 million out of remaining proceeds of
PrivateBancorp, Inc.'s June 1999 initial public offering and $7.5 million out of
borrowings under an $18 million line of credit with a commercial bank entered
into at closing. (See Note 9.)

          In addition, PrivateBancorp, Inc. incurred approximately $161,000 of
capitalized transaction costs consisting of legal and accounting fees. (See Note
6.) In the pro forma combined statement of financial condition, cash and due
from banks at December 31, 1999 has been reduced to reflect the $7.5 million
cash payment and payment of the capitalized transaction costs.

          The pro forma combined statement of income has been adjusted to
reflect the estimated loss of interest income attributable to the investment of
$7.5 million of funds for the entire year 1999. The average one-year US Treasury
rate of 6% for 1999 was used as the effective investment rate, resulting in a
reduction on the pro forma combined statement of income to interest income -
securities of approximately $450,000.

Note 3:   Securities
          ----------

          At the time of the merger, The PrivateBank and Trust Company elected
to re-classify the portion of Johnson Bank Illinois investment securities shown
at amortized cost ("held-to maturity"), as available-for-sale, at fair value.
The adjustment to fair value of the Johnson Bank Illinois investment portfolio
resulted in a net write-down to the bases of the portfolio securities in the
amount of approximately $847,000. This amount is scheduled to be accreted to
earnings on a straight-line basis over three years, the estimated average life
of the securities in the portfolio. The effect on earnings from using
straight-line basis versus effective interest method is immaterial. (See Note
6.)

          Pro forma interest income on available-for-sale securities has been
adjusted to reflect this accretion for a full year.

Note 4:   Loans
          -----

          The basis of the Johnson Bank Illinois loan portfolio was adjusted to
fair value. The write-down of the Johnson Bank Illinois loan portfolio of
approximately $949,000 is scheduled to be accreted to earnings on a
straight-line basis over five years, the estimated life of the portfolio. The
effect on earnings from using straight-line basis versus effective interest
method is immaterial. (See Note 6.)

          Pro forma interest income on loans has been adjusted to reflect this
accretion for a full year.

Note 5:   Premises and Equipment
          ----------------------

          The basis of premises and equipment, net of depreciation and
amortization, was adjusted to fair value. The write-down of the Johnson Bank
Illinois premises and equipment of approximately $466,000 is scheduled to be
amortized to earnings on a straight-line basis over a range of 5-6 years, the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. (See Note 6.)

          Pro forma occupancy expense, net, has been reduced to give effect to
this amortization into income as if the property was owned for the entire year
1999.

Note 6:   Allocation of Purchase Accounting Adjustments (Goodwill)
          --------------------------------------------------------

          In connection with the purchase price, no separately identifiable
intangibles were noted. As a result, all excess purchase price was assigned to
goodwill, which is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The pro
forma combined statement of income has been adjusted to reflect the goodwill
amortization expense for a full year, based on $12,325,000 of goodwill being
recorded in connection with the transaction.

          The following table provides a reconciliation of the goodwill amount
to the cost of the merger to PrivateBancorp, Inc. in excess of the fair value as
of the acquisition date of the net assets acquired from Johnson Bank Illinois:

Note 7:   Other Assets
          ------------

          On the acquisition date, the total capital of Johnson Bank Illinois
had increased by $59,000 representing net income of Johnson Bank Illinois for
the period January 1, 2000 through February 11, 2000. The pro forma combined
statement of financial condition has been adjusted to give effect to this
increase in the value of net assets acquired, with the effect of reducing the
pro forma cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired calculated as of
December 31, 1999. (See Note 6.)

Note 8:   Deposits
          --------

          The basis of the Johnson Bank Illinois deposit portfolio was adjusted
to fair value. The write-up of Johnson Bank Illinois deposits of approximately
$82,000 is scheduled to be accreted to earnings on a straight-line basis over
seven years, the estimated life of the portfolio. (See Note 6.)

          Pro forma interest expense on deposits has been reduced to give effect
to this accretion for a full year.

Note 9:   Funds Borrowed
          --------------

          Of the proceeds paid by PrivateBancorp, Inc. to purchase Johnson Bank
Illinois, $12.5 million was in the form of debt. The pro forma combined
statement of financial condition was adjusted to reflect the aforementioned
debt. The pro forma combined statement of income reflects the estimated cost of
interest on that debt as if that debt was in place for the entire year 1999:

                                                        1999           1999

Bank debt...........   7.5mm  3 mo. LIBOR + 120bp       6.70%         503,000

The basis of the Johnson Bank Illinois funds borrowed portfolio was adjusted to
fair value. The write-down of Johnson Bank Illinois funds borrowed of
approximately $20,000 is scheduled to be amortized against earnings on a
straight-line basis over 2 years, the estimated life of the portfolio. (See Note
6.)

          Pro forma interest expense on funds borrowed has been adjusted to
reflect this amortization.

Note 10:  Stockholders' Equity
          --------------------

          In purchase accounting, stockholder's equity of the acquiree is offset
by proceeds paid by the acquiror, plus or minus the difference between proceeds
paid by the acquiror and net book value of the acquiree. At December 31, 1999,
stockholder's equity of Johnson Bank Illinois of approximately $10,101,000 was
purchased by PrivateBancorp, Inc. for $20 million, resulting in net acquisition
cost in excess of book value of approximately $9,899,000. (See Note 6.)
