ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Total assets decreased $16,879,000, or 3.1%, from $539,366,000 at
December 31, 1997 to $522,487,000 at September 30, 1998. Decreases primarily
in cash and due from banks, loans, securities available-for-sale and premises
and equipment, offset somewhat by increases in securities held-to-maturity,
federal funds sold and mortgage loans held-for-sale resulted in the decrease
in assets.
The decrease in cash and due from banks of $13,688,000, or 47.3%, at
September 30, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997 was attributable to a
smaller dollar amount of deposit items in process of collection at September
30, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997.
Loans decreased $19,587,000, or 6.3%, from December 31, 1997 to
September 30, 1998. Included in this change was a decrease of $12,320,000,
or 10.1%, in commercial loans, a decrease of $2,191,000, or 4.2% in consumer
loans, a decrease of $844,000, or 1.5%, in residential real estate loans, and
a decrease of $323,000, or 0.4% in commercial real estate loans. The
decrease in loans was caused by some large commercial loans being paid off
during the third quarter of 1998, as well as a continued emphasis on loan
quality. The Company has been unwilling to compromise its loan underwriting
standards in the currently competitive market.
Premises and equipment decreased $1,637,000, or 14.6%, from December 31,
1997 to September 30, 1998. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of a
vacant building and the adjacent parking lot, with a combined book value of
$1,499,000.
Other assets decreased $135,000, or 1.7%, from December 31, 1997 to
September 30, 1998. This decrease was affected by the sale of $600,000 of
repossessed real estate. The decrease in other assets was offset by a
purchase of property with a book value of $613,000. This property was
acquired as part of the agreement to sell the building and parking lot
included in premises and equipment. This property is currently listed for
sale.
Federal funds sold increased $7,300,000, or 37.2%, at September 30, 1998
compared to December 31, 1997 due to an increase in funds available for
investing as a result of the decrease in the loan category.
Investments in securities held-to-maturity increased $12,352,000, or
66.7%, at September 30, 1998 compared to December 31, 1997. Investments in
securities available-for-sale decreased $5,484,000, or 4.1%, at September 30,
1998 compared to December 31, 1997. The net increase in investments in debt
and equity securities was the result of shifting assets from loans. The
Company has approximately $66,000,000 of investments maturing within one
year.
Mortgage loans held-for-sale increased $3,774,000 or 268.0%, from
December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998. The increase was due to strong
demand in the mortgage loan area. A

<PAGE>
decrease in interest rates in the first nine months of 1998 caused a large
increase in refinancing as well as originating new mortgage loans.
Total liabilities decreased $19,678,000, or 4.1%, from $482,036,000 at
December 31, 1997 to $462,358,000 at September 30, 1998. The decrease was
primarily due to a decrease in deposits, somewhat offset by increases in
federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements and
Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Total deposits decreased $27,484,000, or 6.6%, from $417,154,000 at
December 31, 1997 to $389,670,000 at September 30, 1998. The decrease
included a $13,283,000, or 8.7%, decrease in other time deposits, an
$8,183,000, or 13.7% decrease in noninterest bearing demand deposits and a
$6,790,000, or 16.5%, decrease in time deposits $100,000 and over. These
decreases were somewhat offset by an increase of $641,000, or 0.4%, in
interest bearing demand deposits, and an increase of $131,000, or 0.8%, in
savings deposits. The decrease in deposits was attributable to seasonal run-
off, as experienced in prior years.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements
increased $3,560,000, or 7.1%, from $49,857,000 at December 31, 1997 to
$53,417,000 at September 30, 1998. Included in this change were decreases in
federal funds purchased of $3,560,000 and term repurchase agreements of
$273,000. Somewhat offsetting these decreases was an increase in daily
repurchase agreements of $7,393,000.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $4,000,000, or 50.0%, from
$8,000,000 at December 31, 1997 to $12,000,000 at September 30, 1998. The
increase was the result of acquiring a $5,000,000 long-term advance in July
1998. This advance will help to narrow the long-term repricing gap. This
advance was somewhat offset by a $1,000,000 advance maturing during the first
quarter of 1998.
Other liabilities increased $540,000, or 10.2%, from $5,289,000 at
December 31, 1997 to $5,829,000 at September 30, 1998. Included in this
increase was $340,000 attributable to organizational changes implemented to
improve efficiency, including the merger of subsidiaries (BankIllinois Trust
Company into BankIllinois) in September 1998.

CAPITAL
Total stockholders' equity increased $2,799,000 from December 31, 1997
to September 30, 1998. The change is summarized as follows:
(IN THOUSANDS)
Stockholders' equity, December 31, 1997 $57,330
Net income 4,322
Treasury stock transactions, net (997)
Stock appreciation rights 68
Purchase of fractional shares related to stock dividend (4)
Cash dividends declared (1,273)
Other comprehensive income 683
Stockholders' equity, September 30, 1998 $60,129
At its regular board meeting on September 15, 1998, the Board of Directors of
the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share of the Company's
common stock. The dividend of $429,000 was payable on October 19, 1998 to
holders of record on October 5, 1998. A first and second quarter cash
dividend of $412,000 and $432,000 was paid on April 17, 1998 and July 16,
1998, respectively.
The Company and BankIllinois are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could
have a direct material effect on the Company's and BankIllinois' financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action, BankIllinois must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Company's and BankIllinois' capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and BankIllinois to maintain minimum amounts and
ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined
in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I
capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as
of September 30, 1998, that the Company and BankIllinois meet all capital
adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of September 30, 1998, the most recent notification from its primary
regulatory agency categorized BankIllinois as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, BankIllinois must maintain minimum total capital to risk-
weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier I capital
to average assets ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions
or events since that notification that management believes have changed
BankIllinois' category.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The concept of interest sensitivity attempts to gauge exposure of
BankIllinois' net interest income to adverse changes in market driven
interest rates by measuring the amount of interest-sensitive assets and
interest-sensitive liabilities maturing or subject to repricing within a
specified time period. Liquidity represents the ability of BankIllinois to
meet the day-to-day demands of deposit customers balanced by its investments
of these deposits. BankIllinois must also be prepared to fulfill the needs
of credit customers for loans with various types of maturities and other
financing arrangements. BankIllinois monitors its interest rate sensitivity
and liquidity through the use of static gap reports which measure the
difference between assets and liabilities maturing or repricing within
specified time periods.

</TABLE>
At September 30, 1998, the Company was liability-sensitive due to the
levels of savings and interest bearing demand deposits, short-term time
deposits, federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase
agreements. As such, the effect of a decrease in the interest rate for all
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities of 100 basis points
would increase annualized net interest income by approximately $1,117,000 in
the 1-30 days category and $1,031,000 in the 1-90 days category assuming no
management intervention. An increase in interest rates would have the
opposite effect for the same time periods.
LIQUIDITY
The Company was able to meet liquidity needs during the first nine
months of 1998. A review of the condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows included in the accompanying financial statements shows that the
Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased $6,388,000
Page 12

<PAGE>
from December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998. Cash was used in the area of
financing, while cash was provided through operating and investing
activities.
There were differences in sources and uses of cash during the first nine
months of 1998 compared to the first nine months of 1997. Included in the
change in cash used by operating activities was an increase in loans
originated for sale. Cash was provided by investment activities during the
first nine months of 1998 as compared to 1997 in which more cash was used for
investing. In 1998 there was a slight decrease in loans while 1997
experienced rapid loan growth. Paydowns on securities, which are reflective
of the current interest rate environment, were higher during the first nine
months of 1998 compared to the first nine months of 1997. These were
somewhat offset by more cash used in purchasing investments in debt and
equity securities. Cash used in financing activities was higher during the
first nine months of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 because of
lower deposits and the payment of cash dividends, somewhat offset by an
increase in federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase
agreements as well as Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses is based on management's evaluation of the
loan portfolio in light of national and local economic conditions, changes in
the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, changes in the volume of
past due and nonaccrual loans, and other relevant factors. The allowance for
loan losses, which is reported as a deduction from loans, is available for
loan charge-offs. The allowance is increased by the provision charged to
expense and is reduced by loan charge-offs net of loan recoveries. The
balance of the allowance for loan losses was $5,441,000 at September 30, 1998
compared to $5,306,000 at December 31, 1997, as provisions of $345,000
exceeded net charge-offs of $210,000 during the nine month period. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans rose to 1.81% at
September 30, 1998, compared to 1.68% at December 31, 1997 as total loans
fell from $316,000,000 to $301,000,000.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans
rose to 194% at September 30, 1998, compared to 180% at December 31, 1997.
This increase was due to a $148,000 reduction in non-performing loans and a
$135,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that
problem assets have been effectively identified and that the allowance for
loan losses is adequate to absorb possible losses in the portfolio.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Net income for the first nine months of 1998 was $4,322,000, a $408,000,
or 10.4% increase from the first nine months of 1997. Basic earnings per
share were $0.80 for the first nine months of 1998 and $0.72 for the same
period of 1997. Diluted earnings per share were $0.78 for the first nine
months of 1998 and $0.71 for the same period of 1997.
Operating earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, were
$4,804,000 compared to $4,000,000 for the same period in 1997, a 20.1%
increase. Basic operating
Page 13

<PAGE>
earnings per share increased $0.15, or 20.3%, to $0.89 in the first nine
months of 1998 from $0.74 in the same period of 1997. Diluted operating
earnings per share increased $0.13, or 17.8%, to $0.86 in the first nine
months of 1998 from $0.73 in the same period of 1997. Net income for the
first nine months of 1998 and 1997 was $4,322,000 and $3,914,000,
respectively. The difference between operating and net earnings was due to
non-recurring items affecting each of these two periods. The non-recurring
expense items, net of tax, in the first nine months of 1998 were $482,000.
Included in these items was $317,000 related to organizational changes
implemented to improve efficiency, including the merger of BankIllinois Trust
Company into BankIllinois. Also included was $165,000 of expense related to
a loss on disposal of property. The non-recurring item, net of tax, in the
first nine months of 1997 was $86,000 which was attributable to the closing
of the Champaign Money Market branch in May 1997.
Net interest income was $872,000, or 6.5% higher for the first nine
months of 1998 compared to 1997. Total interest income was $970,000, or 3.5%
higher in 1998 compared to 1997, and interest expense increased $98,000, or
0.7%. The increase in interest income was due primarily to an increase in
average earning assets. The increase in interest expense was primarily due
to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities, somewhat offset by a
decrease in interest rates.
The increase in total interest income included an increase of
$1,416,000, or 7.2%, on loan interest income. This increase was primarily
due to the increase in average loans outstanding. Also contributing to the
increase in total interest income was an increase of $95,000, or 41.7%, on
tax-exempt investments in debt and equity securities. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in tax-exempt investments. There was also an
increase of $139,000, or 28.7%, on federal funds sold. Somewhat offsetting
these increases was a decrease of $680,000, or 9.1%, on taxable investments
in debt and equity securities. This decrease was attributable both to a
decrease in taxable investments as well as to lower interest rates.
The provision for loan losses recorded was $345,000 during the first
nine months of 1998. This was $20,000, or 6.2%, higher than the amount
recorded during the first nine months of 1997. The provision during the
first nine months of 1998 was based on management's analysis of the loan
portfolio.
Total noninterest income increased $305,000, or 9.1%, during the first
nine months of 1998 compared to the first nine months of 1997. Included in
this increase was an increase of $202,000, or 97.6%, in gains on sales of
mortgage loans held-for-sale. This increase reflected a $27,020,000, or
146.5%, increase in mortgage loans held-for-sale which were closed during the
first nine months of 1998 compared to the first nine months of 1997. The
increase in closed loans was attributable to a decrease in interest rates.
There was also an increase of $93,000, or 6.1%, in trust fees which was a
result of an increase in assets due to new accounts. Also contributing to
the increase in noninterest income was a $38,000, or 475.0%, increase in
gains on debt securities. This increase was a result of the Company
amortizing discounts on securities to their maturity date. Due to decreasing
interest rates, several securities were called during the first nine months
of 1998 prior to their maturity dates which resulted in a gain being
recognized. Included in the change in other income was a gain of $104,000
booked in September 1998 from the sale of the Visa portfolio. Somewhat
offsetting this increase was a decrease in mortgage servicing income of
$58,000 as a result of a large number of early payoffs and a lower retention
Page 14

<PAGE>
of servicing rights when selling loans during the first nine months of 1998
compared to 1997. Lower service charges and fees also affected other income
in 1998 compared to 1997. In addition, computer service income decreased
$18,000. The first six months of 1997 included income from outside
processing which the Company is no longer performing. Also affecting the
decrease in other income were some non-recurring items in the first nine
months of 1997 which included a prior period adjustment of $12,000 booked to
Visa merchant fee income and $19,000 booked to income for the sale of the
East Central Illinois Proprietary Network ATM system.
Total noninterest expenses increased $612,000, or 5.8%, during the first
nine months of 1998 compared to the first nine months of 1997. Included in
the increase were increases in salaries and employee benefits of $571,000, or
9.8%. Of this increase, $472,000 was due to non-recurring organizational
changes as discussed previously. Other expenses also increased $143,000, or
6.2%. Included in this increase was a loss on disposal of property of
$248,000 in 1998 compared to $131,000 of expense due to a loss on the closing
of the Champaign Money Market branch in May 1997. Also contributing to the
increase in other expenses was an increase in legal expenses associated with
the organizational changes related to the merger of the Company's two
subsidiaries, BankIllinois and BankIllinois Trust Company. In addition,
marketing expenses increased $31,000 due to costs associated with increasing
customer awareness of the Company and its products, including development of
an internet site. The increase in noninterest expense was also attributable
to start-up and operating costs associated with opening a new branch in May
1998. These increases in noninterest expense were somewhat offset by a
decrease in net occupancy expense of $104,000, or 9.1%, which was primarily
due to lower maintenance and repair costs as well as lower real estate taxes,
depreciation expense, and utility costs as a result of the sale of a vacant
building and the adjacent parking lot in March 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Net income for the third quarter of 1998 was $1,715,000, a $413,000, or
31.7%, increase compared to the same period of 1997. Operating earnings were
the same as net income for the third quarters of both 1998 and 1997, as there
were no significant non-recurring expenses during either of these periods.
Basic earnings per share increased $0.08, or 33.3%, to $0.32 in the third
quarter of 1998 from $0.24 in the same period of 1997. Diluted earnings per
share increased $0.07, or 29.2%, to $0.31 in the third quarter of 1998 from
$0.24 in the same period of 1997.
Net interest income was $349,000, or 7.9% higher for the third quarter
of 1998 compared to 1997. Total interest income was $232,000, or 2.5% higher
in the third quarter 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997, and interest
expense decreased $117,000, or 2.4% during the same periods. The increase in
interest income was due to an increase in average earning assets, somewhat
offset by lower yields. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due
to lower interest rates, somewhat offset by an increase in average interest
bearing liabilities.
The increase in total interest income included an increase of $342,000,
or 5.1%, on loan interest income. This increase was primarily due to the
increase in average loans outstanding as well as higher rates during the
third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997.

<PAGE>
In addition, there was an increase of $43,000, or 55.8%, on tax-exempt
investment income. This increase was due to an increase in tax-exempt
investments. There was also an increase of $106,000, or 69.7%, on income
from federal funds sold. Somewhat offsetting these increases was a decrease
of $259,000, or 10.5%, on taxable investments in debt and equity securities.
This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in lower interest
rates as well as taxable investments during the third quarter of 1998
compared to the third quarter of 1997.
The provision for loan losses recorded was $90,000 during the third
quarter of 1998. This was $85,000, or 48.6%, lower than the amount recorded
during the third quarter of 1997. The provision recorded during each of
these periods was based on management's analysis of the loan portfolio.
Total noninterest income increased $116,000, or 10.0%, during the third
quarter of 1998 compared to the same period of 1997. Included in this
increase was an increase of $44,000, or 50.0%, in gains on sales of mortgage
loans held-for-sale. This increase reflects a $9,502,000, or 114.6%,
increase in mortgage loans held-for-sale which were closed during the third
quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997. The increase in
closed loans was attributable to a decrease in interest rates. Also
contributing to the increase in noninterest income was a $10,000, or
1,000.0%, increase in gains on debt securities. This increase was the result
of the Company amortizing discounts on securities to their maturity date.
Due to decreasing interest rates, several securities were called during the
third quarter of 1998 prior to their maturity dates which resulted in a gain
being recognized. Other income increased $74,000 in the third quarter of
1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997. Included in this increase was a
$104,000 gain which was recognized in the third quarter of 1998 from the sale
of the Visa portfolio. Other income was also affected by a $34,000 decrease
in mortgage servicing income as a result of a large number of early payoffs
and a lower retention of servicing rights when selling loans during the third
quarter of 1998 compared to 1997. Lower service charges and fees in the
third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997 also contributed
to the decrease in other income. Somewhat offsetting these net increases in
noninterest income was a decrease of $10,000, or 1.9%, in trust fees due to
less fees produced in the third quarter of 1998 from farms sold in management
accounts, somewhat offset by an increase in income due to new accounts in
other trust areas.
Total noninterest expenses decreased $38,000, or 1.1%, during the third
quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997. Included in the
decrease was a decrease in net occupancy of $43,000, or 11.3%. This was due
to lower maintenance and repair costs in the third quarter of 1998 as well as
lower real estate taxes and utility costs due to the sale of a vacant
building and adjacent parking lot in March 1998. Data processing expense
also decreased $13,000, or 6.7% during the third quarter of 1998 due to a
decrease in computer service expense related to lower maintenance costs in
1998. Other expenses were $55,000 lower in the third quarter of 1998
compared to the same period of 1997. Included in the change in other
expenses was a decrease in staff training expense of $26,000 in 1998. The
third quarter of 1997 included expenses related to a training program
instituted to improve skills on providing effective service to customers.
Also affecting the decrease in other expenses was a $21,000 decrease in other
real estate net expense in the third quarter of 1998 compared to 1997. The
income which is netted with other real estate expense was higher in the third
quarter of 1998 compared to 1997 due to an increased number of tenants
renting space. These decreases in noninterest expense were
Page 16
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
<PAGE>
somewhat offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $77,000,
or 4.0%. This increase was reflective of salaries related to the new branch
which opened in May 1998, as well as incentive compensation accruals related
to third quarter performance in 1998.
YEAR 2000
The federal banking regulators recently issued guidelines establishing
minimum safety and soundness standards for achieving Year 2000 compliance.
The guidelines, which took effect October 15, 1998 and apply to all
FDIC-insured depository institutions, establish standards for developing and
managing Year 2000 project plans, testing remediation efforts and planning
for contingencies. The guidelines are based upon guidance previously issued
by the agencies under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (the "FFIEC"), but are not intended to replace or
supplant the FFIEC guidance which will continue to apply to all federally
insured depository institutions.
The guidelines were issued under section 39 of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, as amended (the "FDIA"), which requires federal banking
regulators to establish standards for the safe and sound operation of
federally insured depository institutions. Under section 39 of the FDIA, if
an institution fails to meet any of the standards established in the
guidelines, the institution's primary federal regulator may require the
institution to submit a plan for achieving compliance. If an institution
fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or fails in any material
respect to implement a compliance plan that has been accepted by its primary
federal regulator, the regulator is required to issue an order directing the
institution to cure the deficiency. Such an order is enforceable in court in
the same manner as a cease and desist order. Until the deficiency cited in
the regulator's order is cured, the regulator may restrict the institution's
rate of growth, require the institution to increase its capital, restrict the
rates the institution pays on deposits or require the institution to take any
action the regulator deems appropriate under the circumstances. In addition
to the enforcement procedures established in section 39 of the FDIA,
noncompliance with the standards established by the guidelines may also be
grounds for other enforcement action by the federal banking regulators,
including cease and desist orders and civil money penalty assessments.
The Year 2000 has posed a unique set of challenges to those industries
reliant on information technology. As a result of methods employed by
earlier programmers, many software applications and operational programs may
be unable to distinguish the Year 2000 from the Year 1900. If not
effectively addressed, this problem could result in the production of
inaccurate data, or, in the worst cases, the inability of the systems to
continue to function altogether. Financial institutions are particularly
vulnerable during the industry's dependence on electronic data processing
systems.
In December 1996, the Company developed their Year 2000 Project Plan,
following the guidelines established by the FFIEC. An integral part of the
plan was to establish a Year 2000 Committee comprised of representatives from
key areas throughout the organization. The Committee's mission is to
identify issues related to the Year 2000 and to initiate remedial measures
designed to eliminate any adverse effects on the Company's operations. The
Committee has developed a comprehensive, prioritized inventory of all
hardware, software, and material third party providers that may be adversely
affected by the Year 2000 date change, and
Page 17
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
<PAGE>
has contacted vendors requesting their status as it relates to the Year 2000.
This inventory includes both information technology ("IT") and non-IT
systems, such as alarms, building access, elevators and heating and cooling
systems, which typically contain embedded technology such as
microcontrollers. This inventory is periodically reevaluated to ensure that
previously assigned priorities remain accurate and to track the progress each
vendor is making in resolving the problems associated with the issue. The
Company relies on software purchased from third-party vendors rather than
internally-generated software. The Company is currently in the process of
upgrading systems and testing to validate Year 2000 compliance. To date,
testing is 33% complete. Testing is being done on a test server which
emulates the current BankIllinois network and systems. The Company expects
to have all mission critical systems renovated and tested prior to December
31, 1998. The Company is currently operating on the Year 2000 compliant
releases for core systems supported by its third party data processor.
The Year 2000 Committee has also developed a communication plan that
updates the Board of Directors, management, and employees on the Company's
Year 2000 status, and has formed a subcommittee to develop a customer
awareness program. In addition, the Committee has developed a separate plan
in order to manage the Year 2000 risks posed by commercial borrowing
customers. This plan will identify material loan customers, assess their
preparedness, evaluate their credit risk to the Company, and implement
appropriate controls to mitigate the risk. As a means of creating awareness
among these borrowers, the Company has conducted a corporate customer seminar
to provide customers with information on how the Year 2000 can impact their
own business.
In accordance with regulatory guidelines, the Company has developed a
comprehensive contingency plan in the event that Year 2000 related failures
are experienced. The plan lists the various strategies and resources
available to restore core business processes. These strategies include
relying on back-up systems that do not utilize computers and, in some cases,
switching vendors. In the case of utility providers, the Company has not
identified any practical, long-term alternatives to relying on these
companies for basic utility services. The Company currently utilizes a
generator for emergency power at its main office during short-term power
outages. Although the generator does not supply sufficient power to allow
the main office to remain open during a power outage, the Company is
researching the possibility of the generator supplying sufficient power to
operate a branch office in case of power outages caused by Year 2000 issues.
Management anticipates that the total additional out-of-pocket
expenditures required for bringing the systems into compliance for the Year
2000 will be approximately $325,000. Management believes that these required
expenditures will not have a material adverse impact on operations, cash
flow, or financial condition. This amount, including costs for upgrading
equipment specifically for the purpose of Year 2000 compliance, fees to
outside consulting firms, and certain administrative expenditures, has been
provided for in the Company's Year 2000 budget. Although management feels
confident that the Company has identified all necessary upgrades, and
budgeted accordingly, no assurance can be made that Year 2000 compliance can
be achieved without additional unanticipated expenditures. It is not
possible at this time to quantify the estimated future costs due to possible
business disruption caused by vendors, suppliers, customers or even the
possible loss of electric power or phone service; however, such costs could
be substantial. As a result of the Year 2000 project, the Company
Page 18

has not had any material delay regarding its information systems projects.
