                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MB Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operation and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

         The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and industry practice.
Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and industry practice has been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes the
disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements are adequate so that
the financial statements are not misleading. These financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1999 audited financial
statements.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the
reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

         THE FOLLOWING IS A DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL
POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS
REPORT. ON FEBRUARY 26, 1999, COAL CITY CORPORATION, THE HOLDING COMPANY FOR
MANUFACTURERS BANK, WAS MERGED WITH AND INTO AVONDALE FINANCIAL CORP., THE
HOLDING COMPANY FOR AVONDALE FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK. THE RESULTING ENTITY WAS
RENAMED MB FINANCIAL, INC. SIMULTANEOUSLY, AVONDALE FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK WAS
MERGED INTO MANUFACTURERS BANK. THIS TRANSACTION SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS THE
COMPARATIVE INFORMATION DISCUSSED BELOW.

         GENERAL

         The profitability of the Company's operations depends primarily on its
net interest income, which is the difference between total interest earned on
interest earning assets and total interest paid on interest bearing liabilities.
The Company's net income is affected by its provision for loan losses as well as
other income and other expenses. The provision for loan losses reflects the
amount thought to be adequate to cover estimated credit losses in the loan
portfolio. Non-interest income or other income consists of loan service fees,
deposit service fees, net lease financing income, net gains (losses) on the sale
of securities available for sale, increase in cash surrender value of life
insurance and other operating income. Other expenses include salaries and
employee benefits along with occupancy and equipment expense, intangibles
amortization expense and other operating expenses.

         The amount of net interest income is affected by changes in the volume
and mix of earning assets, the level of interest rates earned on those assets,
the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities, and the level of interest
rates paid on those interest bearing liabilities. The provision for loan losses
is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio and Management's assessment of the
collectibility of the loan portfolio, as well as economic and market conditions.
Other income and other expenses are impacted by growth of operations and growth
in the number of accounts through both acquisitions and core banking business
growth. Growth in operations affects other expenses as a result of additional
employees, branch facilities and promotional marketing expense. Growth in the
number of accounts affects other income including service fees as well as other
expenses such as computer services, supplies, postage, telecommunications and
other miscellaneous expenses.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company had net income of $2.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 which equaled net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Net interest income was $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2000 compared to
$10.6 million for the second quarter of 1999. Net interest income remained
relatively flat as increases in interest income due to growth in the Company's
commercial and lease banking business and increased lending rates from a higher
prime rate were offset by increases in interest expense on deposits and
borrowings.

         Net income was $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Net interest
income increased $3.4 million to $21.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in net interest income was due to growth in the Company's commercial
and lease banking business as well as the Avondale Financial Corporation merger.
The Company's operating results as a merged company commenced with the month of
March for 1999, whereas operating results for 2000 reflected the combined
company for the entire six-month period.

         Other income increased $158 thousand to $2.7 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 from $2.6 million for the comparable period in 1999. This
increase was the result of income from increase in cash surrender value of life
insurance and an increase in net lease financing, due to growth in the Company's
lease banking business, offset by a decrease in loan service fees from
anticipated pay downs and reductions in servicing fee percentages related to
home equity loans previously securitized and sold by Avondale.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2000, other income increased $1.4
million to $5.5 million from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase was primarily due to income from increase in cash surrender
value of life insurance, an increase in net lease financing, due to growth in
the Company's lease banking business, as well as an increase in other operating
income mainly due to the Avondale merger.

         Other expense increased $166 thousand to $9.0 million for the second
quarter of 2000 from $8.8 million for the second quarter of 1999. The increase
was due to increases in occupancy and equipment expense resulting from the
opening of two new commercial banking centers, and other operating expenses
partially offset by a decrease in intangibles amortization expense due to the
Company utilizing an accelerated intangible amortization method which amortizes
a greater amount of purchase premium in early years than in later years.


                                       8
<PAGE>

         For the six months ended June 30, 2000, other expense increased $2.0
million to $17.9 million from $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase was due to increases in salaries and employee benefits,
occupancy and equipment expense and other operating expenses primarily due to
the Avondale merger. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in
intangibles amortization expense as the Company utilizes an accelerated
intangible amortization method which amortizes a greater amount of purchase
premium in early years than in later years.

         Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $1.2
million compared to $1.3 million for the comparable period in 1999. The
effective tax rate decreased to 29.0% for the second quarter of 2000 from 32.3%
for the comparable period in 1999 as the Company continued to review and manage
its income tax expense.

         Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $2.4
million compared to $2.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. The
effective tax rate decreased to 30.4% for the second quarter of 2000 from 33.0%
for the comparable period in 1999 as the Company continued to review and manage
its income tax expense.

         The Company's net interest income increased $488 thousand to $11.0
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $10.6 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. The increase in net interest income resulted from an
increase in interest income of $3.8 million, or 17.7%, partially offset by an
increase in interest expense of $3.3 million, or 30.4%. Interest income
increased due to a $58.6 million, or 5.1%, increase in average interest earning
assets as a result of a $124.2 million increase in average loans offset by a
$37.4 million decrease in average investment securities. In addition to growth
in the Company's loan portfolio, increased lending rates from a higher prime
rate for the second quarter of 2000, as reflected in a 12.3% increase in the
total interest earning assets yield, also attributed to the increase in interest
income. Interest expense rose as a result of a $91.5 million, or 9.0%, increase
in average interest bearing liabilities, due to a $103.4 million increase in
average borrowings mostly from federal funds purchased. Increased deposit and
borrowing rates due to a higher prime rate for the second quarter of 2000, as
reflected in a 20.0% increase in the total interest bearing liabilities yield,
also attributed to the increase in interest expense. The net interest margin on
a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.69% for the second quarter of 2000 and 3.69%
for the comparable period in 1999. Increased leverage in the Company's balance
sheet, however, had some adverse impact on the net interest margin for the six
months ended 2000, due to borrowings used for an investment in a cash surrender
value of life insurance, and for the six months ended 1999, due to repurchase
agreements used to fund investment securities. Excluding these transactions from
the respective periods, the net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis
would have increased to 3.85% for the second quarter of 2000 from 3.80% for the
comparable period in 1999.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net interest income
increased $3.4 million to $21.9 million from $18.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. The increase in net interest income resulted from an
increase in interest income of $10.6 million, or 27.6%, partially offset by
an increase in interest expense of $7.1 million, or 36.2%. Interest income
increased due to a $146.8 million, or 14.0%, increase in average interest
earning assets as a result of a $196.5 million increase in average loans
offset by a $23.1 million decrease in average investment securities and a
$26.6 million decrease in average federal funds sold. Also attributing to the
increase in interest income were increased lending rates from a higher prime
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as reflected in a 11.5% increase
in the total interest earning assets yield. Interest expense rose as a result
of a $167.3 million, or 18.1%, increase in average interest bearing
liabilities due to a $67.3 million increase in average time deposits, from
personal time certificates under $100,000, and personal and brokered time
certificates over $100,000, and a $88.3 million increase in average
borrowings primarily from federal funds purchased. Also attributing to the
increase in interest expense were increased deposit and borrowing rates from
a higher prime rate for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as reflected in a
14.9% increase in the total interest bearing liabilities yield. Increased
deposit and borrowing rates due to a higher prime rate for the six months
ended 2000 also attributed to the increase in interest expense. The net
interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis was 3.71% for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 3.58% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Increased leverage in the Company's balance sheet, however, had some adverse
impact on the net interest margin for the six months ended 2000, due to
borrowings used for an investment in a cash surrender value of life
insurance, and for the six months ended 1999, due to repurchase agreements
used to fund investment securities. Excluding these transactions from the
respective periods, the net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis
would have been 3.82% for the six months ended 2000 and 3.81% for the six
months ended 1999.

         The following table presents the extent to which changes in interest
rates and changes in volume of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense
during the periods indicated. Information is provided on changes in each
category attributable to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume,
(changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate); (ii) changes
attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by current period
volume) and (iii) the total changes.

(1)  Non-taxable investment income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis
     assuming a 35% tax rate and a 34% tax rate for the three months ended June
     30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2000
     and 1999, respectively.

         OTHER INCOME

         Other income increased $158 thousand to $2.7 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 from $2.6 million for the comparable period in 1999. This
increase was the result of $502 thousand in income from increase in cash
surrender value of life insurance and a $134 thousand increase in net lease
financing, due to growth in the Company's lease banking business, offset by a
$458 thousand decrease in loan service fees from anticipated pay downs and
reductions in servicing fee percentages related to home equity loans previously
securitized and sold by Avondale.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2000, other income increased $1.4
million to $5.5 million from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase was primarily due to $664 thousand in income from increase in
cash surrender value of life insurance, a $200 thousand increase in net lease
financing, as well as a $431 thousand increase in other operating income mainly
due to the Avondale merger.

         OTHER EXPENSE

         Other expense increased $166 thousand to $9.0 million for the second
quarter of 2000 from $8.8 million for the second quarter of 1999. The increase
was due to a $168 thousand increase in occupancy and equipment expense resulting
from the opening of two new commercial banking centers, and a $87 thousand
increase in other operating expenses partially offset by a $133 thousand
decrease in intangibles amortization expense due to the Company utilizing an
accelerated intangible amortization method which amortizes a greater amount of
purchase premium in early years than in later years.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2000, other expense increased $2.0
million to $17.9 million from $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The increase was due to a $1.0 million increase in salaries and employee
benefits, a $548 thousand increase in occupancy and equipment expense and a $766
thousand increase in other operating expenses primarily due to the Avondale
merger. Partially offsetting these increases was a $267 thousand decrease in
intangibles amortization expense as the Company utilizes an accelerated
intangible amortization method which amortizes a greater amount of purchase
premium in early years than in later years.

         INCOME TAXES

         Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $1.2
million compared to $1.3 million for the comparable period in 1999. The
effective tax rate decreased to 29.0% for the second quarter of 2000 from 32.3%
for the comparable period in 1999. The decrease in the effective tax rate was
primarily due to income from the cash surrender value of life insurance not
being subject to income tax expense.

         Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $2.4
million compared to $2.1 million for the comparable period in 1999. The
effective tax rate decreased to 30.4% for the second quarter of 2000 from 33.0%
for the comparable period in 1999 as noted above.

         CASH EARNINGS

         The purchase method of accounting has been used to record each of the
Company's acquisitions and Avondale merger. As a result, the recorded basis of
the net assets of the acquired entities has been adjusted to fair value.
Adjustments included recording core deposit intangibles to reflect the
difference between the fair value and underlying basis of deposits purchased and
recording goodwill for the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of
net assets acquired. Core deposit intangibles and goodwill are being amortized
as a non-cash expense over periods of up to eight and 20 years, respectively.
Amortization expense reduces net income during the amortization periods.

         If the Company's acquisitions had met certain accounting rules, the
pooling of interest method of accounting may have been used to account for the
Company's acquisitions. Under this method of accounting, no goodwill or core
deposit intangibles would have been recorded. Consequently, net income is not
reduced for the amortization of core deposit intangibles or goodwill. Since
application of the two methods can result in dramatically different net income,
management, certain analysts and certain peer financial institutions have been
computing cash earnings in order to compare results. Cash earnings is presently
not a defined term or concept under generally accepted accounting principles.

         BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

         Total assets increased $96.2 million to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2000
compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase was due to a $74.3
million increase in loans, due to growth in commercial and lease banking
business, and a $30.7 million increase in cash surrender value of life
insurance. Offsetting these increases was a $11.6 million decrease in investment
securities.

         Total liabilities increased $92.2 million to $1.3 billion at June 30,
2000 compared to $1.2 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase was due to a
$42.8 million increase in total deposits including a $73.6 million increase in
interest bearing brokered deposits and a $8.1 million increase in non-interest
bearing deposits offset by a $38.9 million decrease in other interest bearing
deposits. Also attributing to the increase in liabilities was a $46.3 million
increase in short-term borrowings which included a $27.4 million increase in
federal funds purchased, a $20.0 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank
advances along with a $2.0 million increase in correspondent bank lines of
credit.

         Total assets increased $191.9 million to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2000
compared to $1.2 billion at June 30, 1999. The increase was due to a $151.3
million increase in loans, due to growth in commercial and lease banking
business, a $30.7 million increase in cash surrender value of life insurance,
and a $18.5 million increase in net lease investment. Offsetting these increases
was a $5.1 million decrease in investment securities.

         Total liabilities increased $183.2 million to $1.3 billion at June 30,
2000 compared to $1.1 billion at June 30, 1999. The increase was due to a $40.1
million increase in total deposits resulting from a $73.6 increase in interest
bearing brokered deposits and a $11.9 million increase in non-interest bearing
deposits offset by a $45.4 million decrease in other interest bearing deposits.
Liabilities also increased due to a $144.2 million increase in borrowings
resulting from a $78.4 million increase in federal funds purchased, a $40.0
million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, a $27.0 million increase in
bank repurchase agreements used to fund investment securities and a $4.5 million
increase in correspondent bank lines of credit offset by a $5.7 million decrease
in other borrowings including customer repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury
demand notes and loans to purchase equipment.

1999. The increase in non-performing assets at June 30, 2000 compared to
December 31, 1999 was primarily due to a $324 thousand increase in loans 90 days
or more past due, still accruing interest and a $269 thousand increase in other
real estate owned offset by a $385 thousand decrease in non-accruing loans. The
increase in non-performing assets at June 30, 2000 compared to June 30, 1999 was
primarily due to a $216 thousand increase in loans 90 days or more past due,
still accruing interest and a $209 thousand increase in other real estate owned
partially offset by a $269 thousand decrease in non-accruing loans. At June 30,
2000, non-accruing loans for Manufacturers Bank - core business included three
commercial construction loans for one customer totaling $2.9 million and one
commercial real estate loan for $1.5 million. Excluding these two customers,
non-accruing loans for Manufacturers Bank - core business would have decreased
$2.4 million and $2.3 million at June 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999
and June 30, 1999, respectively. Overall decreases in non-accruing loans at June
30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999 were due to the
Company's diligent collection efforts.

</TABLE>

         The provision for loans losses increased $552 thousand for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the comparable period in 1999 primarily
due to growth in the Company's core commercial and lease banking business. In
addition, net charge-offs have decreased $1.2 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2000 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The majority of the
decrease in net-charge-offs was due to a $930 thousand decrease in charge-offs
for Manufacturers Bank - core business.

         The provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the comparable period in 1999 primarily due to
growth in the Company's core commercial and lease banking business. In addition,
net charge-offs decreased $765 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in net charge-offs
was primarily due to a $860 thousand decrease in charge-offs for Manufacturers
Bank - core business partially offset by a $200 thousand decrease in recoveries.
At the merger date in 1999, Avondale's allowance for loan losses was $9.5
million. Management reviewed Avondale's calculation, based on credit scoring and
other criteria, and concluded that the allowance for loan losses related to
loans acquired through the merger was adequate. To date, losses associated with
the loan portfolio acquired from Avondale are consistent with losses indicated
by the credit scoring models and other criteria at the merger date.

         The Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level that
management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing
loans, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss
experience. Control of the Company's loan quality is continually monitored by
management and is reviewed by the Board of Directors and loan committee of the
Bank on a monthly basis, subject to oversight by the Company's Board of
Directors through its members who serve on the loan committee. Independent
external review of the loan portfolio is also conducted by regulatory
authorities. The amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses which are
charged to earnings through the provision for loan losses is determined based on
a variety of factors, including actual charge-offs and anticipated charge-offs,
delinquent loans, historical loss experience and economic conditions in the
Bank's market area. Although management believes the allowance for loan losses
is sufficient to cover potential losses, there can be no assurance that the
allowance will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses in the future.

         INTEREST ONLY SECURITIES

         At June 30, 2000 interest only securities acquired through the merger
were $13.0 million. The value of these interest only securities is subject to
substantial credit, prepayment, and interest rate risk on the transferred
financial assets. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs a review to
determine the fair value of its interest only securities, as these securities
are accounted for as securities available for sale. As part of the review, the
Company reviews its assumptions of prepayment speeds, discount rates and the
remaining anticipated credit losses.

         The following table shows the results of the Company's assumptions used
to estimate the fair value at June 30, 2000 (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>

(1)  Rates for these loans are adjusted based on the prime rate as published in
     the Wall Street Journal.

(2)  The weighted-average life in years of prepayable assets is calculated by
     multiplying (a) the principal collections expected in each future year by
     (b) the number of years until collection, and then dividing that sum by the
     current principal balance. This calculation is not explicitly assumed but
     it reflects the overall effect of prepayment assumptions.

(3)  Assumed remaining credit losses over the life remaining on the loans
     outstanding at June 30, 2000 are $950 thousand, $1.3 million, $1.7 million
     and $3.4 million for the 96-1, 97-1, 97-2 and 98-1 interest only security
     pools, respectively. The expected credit loss percentage is derived by
     dividing the remaining credit losses by the related loan balance
     outstanding in the pool.

         LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

         The Company's cash flows are composed of three classifications: cash
flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash
flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was
$13.8 million and $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was ($106.6)
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and $144.0 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The decrease in net cash provided by investing
activities was due to a decrease in proceeds from sales, maturities and calls of
securities available for sale, a decrease in net federal funds sold and the
purchase of cash surrender value of life insurance for the six months ended 2000
compared to 1999. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $88.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and ($144) million for the
comparable period in 1999. The increase in net cash provided by financing
activities was due to net increases in noninterest and interest bearing deposits
as well as short-term borrowings primarily from increases in brokered deposits,
federal funds purchased and advances from Federal Home Loan Bank for the six
months ended 2000 compared to 1999.

         The Company expects to have available cash to meet its liquidity needs.
Liquidity management is monitored by the asset liability committee of
Manufacturers Bank, which takes into account the marketability of assets, the
sources and stability of funding and the level of unfunded commitments. In the
event that additional short-term liquidity is needed, Manufacturers Bank has
established relationships with several large regional banks to provide
short-term borrowings in the form of federal funds purchased. While there are no
firm lending commitments in place, Manufacturers Bank has borrowed, and
management believes that Manufacturers Bank could again borrow, more than $105.0
million for a short time from these banks on a collective basis. Additionally,
Manufacturers Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and has the
ability to borrow from the FHLB. MB Financial, Inc. also maintains a line of
credit with a large regional correspondent bank in the amount of $15.0 million.
As of June 30, 2000, MB Financial had $8.0 million undrawn and available under
its line of credit.

         The Bank's total risk-based capital ratio was 10.12%, Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets ratio was 9.03% and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio
was 7.77% at June 30, 2000. The FDIC has categorized the bank subsidiary as
"Well-Capitalized" at June 30, 2000.

         As of June 30, 2000, the Company's book value per share was $11.80
compared to $10.57 at June 30, 1999.

         YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         In anticipation of potential year 2000 issues that result from the use
of two-digit rather than four-digit dates in software, the Company implemented a
program to assess its year 2000 readiness and, where appropriate, to implement
corrective actions. As a result of its efforts, the Company was prepared for the
transition to the year 2000 and did not experience any significant malfunctions
or errors in its operating or business systems when the date changed from 1999
to 2000. The Company is not currently aware of any year 2000 problems that have
materially affected its customers or vendors. Based on operations since January
1, 2000, the Company does not anticipate any material disruption in its
operations as a result of any continuing year 2000 issues. However, it is
possible that latent problems may surface in the future. The Company believes
that any such problems are likely to be minor and correctable. The Company's
costs for its year 2000 activities were not material.

         FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Statements made about the Company's future economic performance,
strategic plans or objectives, revenues or earnings projections, or other
financial items and similar statements are not guarantees of future performance,
but are forward looking statements. By their nature, these statements are
subject to numerous uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the statements. Important factors that might cause the
Company's actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to,
the following:

-    Federal and state legislative and regulatory developments;
-    Changes in management's estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
     losses;
-    Changes in management's valuation of the interest only securities;
-    Changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs;
-    Interest rate movements and their impact on customer behavior and the
     Company's net interest margin;
-    The impact of repricing and competitors' pricing initiatives on loan and
     deposit products;
-    The Company's ability to adapt successfully to technological changes to
     meet customers' needs and developments in the market place;
-    The Company's ability to access cost effective funding; and
-    Changes in financial markets and general economic conditions.
