         (a)      This Schedule 13D is being filed by Barrett R. Rochman as an
                  individual.

                  investment business. The name, principal business and address
                  of each corporation or organization in which Mr. Rochman's

                  S.I./P.I. - 1345 East Park, Carbondale Street, Illinois 62901
                  (tax purchasing co.)

                  62901 (acquisition co.)

         (d)      During the last five years, Mr. Rochman has not been convicted
                  in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
                  similar misdemeanors).

         (e)      The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
                  instituted proceedings against Mr. Rochman alleging that Mr.
                  Rochman violated Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
                  of 1934 and certain rules thereunder (collectively the
                  "Laws").  These proceedings were settled on February 17, 1999
                  without Mr. Rochman having to admit or deny any of the alleged
                  violations.  As part of the settlement, the Commission ordered
                  Mr. Rochman to cease and desist from committing or causing any
                  violation or any future violation of the Laws.  These
                  proceedings of the Commission related to filings with the
                  Commission of  Schedule 13D and amendments thereto required of
                  Mr. Rochman in connection with his ownership of  more than 5%
                  of the outstanding shares of common stock of Heartland

                  or penalty in connection with the settlement.

         (f)      Mr. Rochman is a citizen of the United States of America.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

                  As indicated on Line 4 of the Cover Page of this Schedule 13D,
                  Mr. Rochman has used bank loans, personal funds (including
                  broker margin account funds), insurance

                                       3
<PAGE>

                  proceeds from a settlement relating to the death of Mr.
                  Barrett's son, Boo Rochman, and funds from the Boo Rochman
                  Charitable Corp. and Rochman Family Investment accounts,
                  respectively, in making purchases of the Issuer's common
                  stock. As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the total amount
                  of funds used in the purchase of the Issuer's shares of common
                  stock by Mr. Rochman for himself or on behalf of the Boo
                  Rochman Charitable Corp. or Rochman Family Investment is
                  $1,029,437.50. This figure is based on the total number of
                  shares of the Issuer's common stock purchased by Mr. Rochman
                  multiplied by the price per share paid and does not include
                  broker fees associated with Mr. Rochman's purchases. To date,
                  Mr. Rochman has obtained personal loans in the amount of
                  $500,000 from the First National Bank & Trust Company,
                  Carbondale, Illinois, and has used approximately $530,000 of
                  his personal funds, including funds obtained from broker
                  margin accounts, in addition to funds from the Boo Rochman
                  Charitable Corp. and Rochman Family Investment, for such
                  purchases.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

                  Although the shares of common stock of the Issuer identified
                  in this Schedule 13D that are beneficially owned by Mr.
                  Rochman were acquired for investment purposes, Mr. Rochman
                  may, as set forth below, seek to influence control of the
                  Issuer, as well as consider other measures to enhance
                  shareholder value. Mr. Rochman presently intends to continue
                  purchasing shares of common stock of the Issuer.

                  On January 11, 2000, Mr. Rochman met informally with Mr. Wayne
                  Benson, President of the Issuer, to discuss the possibility of
                  Mr. Rochman becoming a member of the board of directors of the
                  Issuer. Mr. Rochman also discussed his thoughts on what
                  direction the corporate strategy of the Issuer should take,
                  including his desire to have the loan portfolios of the
                  Issuer's subsidiaries be more similar to that of commercial
                  banks rather than savings associations and to have the Issuer
                  grow in asset size through start-up operations in other
                  markets and/or acquisitions of other financial institutions.
                  If Mr. Rochman is not invited to join the Issuer's board of
                  directors or is not selected as management's nominee for
                  election as a director at the Issuer's 2000 annual meeting (or
                  at the next meeting of shareholders at which directors are
                  elected), Mr. Rochman will consider the possibility of
                  nominating up to three persons (including himself) for
                  election as directors at the Issuer's 2000 annual meeting of
                  shareholders and, further, will consider the possibility of
                  soliciting proxies for use at the 2000 annual meeting in favor
                  of his nominees. Mr. Rochman anticipates at this time that any
                  proxy solicitation undertaken by him in connection with the
                  Issuer's 2000 annual meeting of shareholders would be in
                  opposition to any proxy solicitation by the board of directors
                  of the Issuer with respect to the same meeting. Under the
                  current structure of the Issuer's board of directors, in order
                  for three directors to be elected at the 2000 annual meeting
                  (or at the next meeting of shareholders at which directors are
                  elected), the size of the Issuer's board of directors would
                  have to be increased from eight to nine members.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         (a)      Mr. Rochman beneficially owns 116,240 shares, or 5.3%, of the
                  common stock of the Issuer. (The percentage of outstanding
                  common stock is based on the outstanding shares of common
                  stock of the Issuer as set forth in its Form 10-Q for the
                  quarter ended September 30, 1999.)

         (b)      Mr. Rochman has sole power to vote and dispose of 86,200
                  shares of common stock of the Issuer, as identified on Lines 7
                  and 9 of the Cover Page of this Schedule 13D. In addition to
                  the 86,200 shares, Marilyn Rochman beneficially owns 6,340
                  shares of common stock of the Issuer, over which she has sole
                  voting and dispositive power.  Mr. Rochman and Marilyn Rochman
                  share the power to vote and dispose of 23,700 shares of common
                  stock of the Issuer, as identified on Lines 8 and 10 of the

                           administrative body of competent jurisdiction, which
                           as a result of such proceeding she 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 any violation with respect to such laws.
