State Financial Services Corporation And Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2004

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of State Financial Services Corporation (the "Company" or “State”) and its subsidiaries. The Company owns State Financial Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

NOTE B - ACCOUNTING CHANGES

On March 9, 2004, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 105, "Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments" to advise registrants of the staff's view that fair value of the recorded loan commitments, that are required to follow derivative accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, should not take into consideration the expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the future loan. The staff indicated its belief that incorporating expected future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan essentially results in the immediate recognition of a servicing asset, which is only appropriate once the servicing asset has been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or by securitization of the loan with servicing retained. Furthermore, no other internally-developed intangible assets, such as customer relationship intangibles, should be recorded as part of the loan commitment derivative. The staff noted that recognition of such assets is only appropriate in the event of a third-party transaction, such as the purchase of a loan commitment either individually, in a portfolio, or in a business combination.

In addition, SAB 105 requires registrants to disclose their accounting policy for loan commitments pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 22, including methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value and any associated hedging strategies, as required by SFAS 107, SFAS 133 and Item 305 of Regulation S-K (Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk).

SAB 105 does not explicitlyrequire banks that apply derivative accounting to their loan commitments to treat the loan commitments only as liabilities. Rather, the staff appears to be deferring to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to address this aspect of the fair value issue in its loan commitment project.

The provisions of SAB 105 must be applied to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The staff will not object to the application of existing accounting practices to loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into on or before March 31, 2004, with appropriate disclosures.

The issuance of SAB 105 has not had a material impact on the Company as the loan commitments are generally not accounted for as derivatives.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No 46 (“FIN 46”), which provides guidance on how to identify a variable interest entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and results of operations of a VIE are to be included in an entity's consolidated financial statements. A VIE exists when either the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities by itself, or the equity investors lack one of three characteristics associated with owning a controlling financial interest. Those characteristics include the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about an entity's activities through voting rights or similar rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of an entity if they occur, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur.

7

In December 2003, the FASB reissued FIN 46 with certain modifications and clarifications. Application of this guidance was effective for interests in certain VIEs commonly referred to as special-purpose entities (SPEs) as of December 31, 2003. Application for all other types of entities is required for periods ending after March 15, 2004, unless previously applied. The application of FIN 46 to any of the Company’s investments or interests has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

NOTE C - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less unearned ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less unallocated ESOP shares plus the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. The denominators for the earnings per share amounts are as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2004			2003			2004			2003
Basic:
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding		6,939,809			6,970,527			6,983,792			6,960,303
Less: weighted-average number of unearned ESOP shares		(281,288	)		(322,599	)		(287,881	)		(322,599	)
Denominator for basic earnings per share		6,658,521			6,647,928			6,695,911			6,637,704
Fully diluted:
Denominator for basic earnings per share		6,658,521			6,647,928			6,695,911			6,637,704
Add: assumed conversion of stock options using treasury stock method		196,396			196,709			200,825			160,764
Denominator for fully diluted earnings per share		6,854,917			6,844,637			6,896,736			6,798,468

NOTE D - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income is the total of reported net income and all other revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are not included in reported net income but are instead reflected directly in shareholders’ equity.

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
		2004			2003			2004			2003
Net Income	$	3,437,372		$	3,036,645		$	6,679,126		$	5,888,799
Other comprehensive income:
Change in unrealized securities gains (losses), net of tax		(4,383,320	)		907,277			(3,558,503	)		(528,115	)
Reclassification adjustment for realized gains included in net income, net of tax		(120,911	)		(48,799	)		(254,272	)		(82,352	)
Total comprehensive income (loss)	$	(1,066,859	)	$	3,895,123		$	2,866,351		$	5,278,332

NOTE E - STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On April 28, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 5%, or approximately 348,000 shares, of the Company’s Common Stock. As of June 30, 2004, 163,500 shares have been repurchased at an average price of $28.67 per share.

NOTE F - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company follows APB Opinion No. 25 under which no compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company’s pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share has been determined as if these options had been accounted for since January 1, 1995, in accordance with the fair value method SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.

8

The Black-Scholes option valuation model is commonly used in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Since the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

In determining compensation expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Schole’s option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2004			2003			2004			2003
Expected life of options		2.706 years			6.75 years			2.706 years			6.75 years
Risk-free interest rate		2.90	%		3.80	%		2.90	%		3.60	%
Expected dividend yield		2.07	%		2.2	%		2.07	%		2.2	%
Expected volatility factor		38.79	%		26.40	%		38.79	%		26.40	%

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period, which is generally six months. The Company’s pro forma information is as follows:

NOTE G – ACQUISITIONS

On December 6, 2003, the Company acquired Hawthorn Corporation (“Hawthorn”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Hawthorn Bank, Mundelein, Illinois. The Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Hawthorn for $6.4 million in cash. This “in-market” acquisition increased the Company’s share of the Illinois banking market. Hawthorn Bank has been merged into State Financial Bank, N.A.

On December 6, 2003, the Company also acquired Lakes Region Bancorp, Inc. (“Lakes Region”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Anchor Bank, Grayslake, Illinois. The Company purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Lakes Region for $13.4 million in cash. This “in-market” acquisition increased the Company’s share of the Illinois banking market. Anchor Bank has been merged into State Financial Bank, N.A.

Application of purchase accounting requires the inclusion of Hawthorn’s and Lake Region’s operating results in the consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition. Accordingly, Hawthorn’s and Lakes Region’s operating results for the period January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004 are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for three and six months ended June 30, 2004. Hawthorn’s and Lakes Region’s financial condition is included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Future changes in information may affect these estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which, in turn, may affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

All significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the consolidated financial statements and how those values are determined.

Management has determined that its accounting policies with respect to the allowance for loan losses is the accounting area requiring subjective or complex judgments to the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and therefore, is its most important critical accounting policy. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses. In addition, a discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included in the Provision for Loan Losses section of management’s discussion.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS 142, the Company is required to perform annual impairment tests of its goodwill and intangible assets and more frequently in certain circumstances. The Company has elected to test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process, which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which includes the allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. The determination of a reporting unit’s “implied fair value” of goodwill requires the Company to allocate the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the “implied fair value” of goodwill, which is compared to its corresponding carrying value.

10

The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill that totaled $37.6 million at June 30, 2004. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on the Company’s customer base, or a material negative change in its relationships with significant customers.

Changes in Financial Condition

The Company’s total assets were $1.6 billion at June 30, 2004 and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2003. During the first half of 2004, significant uses of funds by the Company consisted of a $20.3 million increase in loans, $146.5 million net increase in investment securities, $2.3 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, $4.2 million purchase of treasury stock, $2.0 million in payment of cash dividends, and $1.8 million in net purchases of premises and equipment. Funding sources for the first half of 2004 came from a $37.6 million increase in deposits, $118.8 million increase in securities sold under agreement to repurchase, $15.0 million in proceeds from trust preferred securities offering, $1.3 million net increase in notes payable, and $568 thousand in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Asset Quality

At June 30, 2004, the Company’s non-performing assets were $9.4 million, a decrease of $6.4 million from December 31, 2003 primarily due to a decrease of $4.5 million in other real estate owned and $1.9 million in non-accrual loans. The decrease in other real estate owned was mainly due to the sale of one large parcel of real property with a carrying value of $5.2 million which closed during the second quarter of 2004 at a price resulting in a gain to State of approximately $300 thousand. Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.59% at June 30, 2004 and 1.09% at December 31, 2003. As a percentage of total loans outstanding, the level of non-performing loans was 0.94% at June 30, 2004 compared to 1.18% at December 31, 2003. This percentage decrease was due to the decrease in non-performing loans and the increase in average loans outstanding.

When, in the opinion of management, serious doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan, the loan is placed on non-accrual status. In all cases, however, when a loan reaches 90 days delinquent on the payment of principal or interest the loan is placed on non-accrual status. At the time a loan is classified as non-accrual, interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and interest income accrued in the prior year is charged to the allowance for loan losses. The following table summarizes non-performing assets on the dates indicated (dollars in thousands).

	Jun. 30 2004			Mar. 31 2004			Dec. 31 2003			Sep. 30 2003			Jun. 30 2003

Allowance for Loan Losses and Net Charge-offs

Management maintains the allowance for loan losses (the "Allowance") at a level considered adequate to provide for probable loan losses. The Allowance is increased by provisions charged to earnings and is reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. At June 30, 2004, the Allowance was $11.8 million, an increase of $1.1 million from the balance at December 31, 2003. The Allowance was increased primarily due to the increased number of commercial loans, which are generally higher risk, particularly during a weak economic period. As of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 commercial and commercial real estate loans made up 77% of the total loan portfolio. As the commercial loan portfolio has grown in size, the complexity of the commercial relationship has also increased.

11

As a percentage of total loans outstanding, the Allowance was 1.32% at June 30, 2004 compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2003. The determination of Allowance adequacy is based upon on-going evaluations of the Company’s loan portfolio conducted by the Internal Loan Review function of its banking subsidiary, State Financial Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), and reviewed by management. These evaluations consider a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, loan portfolio size, type, and composition, previous loss experience, the borrowers’ financial condition, collateral adequacy, and the level of non-performing loans. Based upon its analyses, management considered the Allowance adequate to recognize the risk inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2004.

In accordance with new SEC rules required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 regarding the use of financial measures and ratios not calculated in accordance with GAAP, a reconciliation must be provided that shows these measures and ratios calculated according to GAAP and a statement why management believes these measures and ratios provide a more accurate view of performance.

Certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company's performance. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components) and net interest margin (including its individual components). Management believes that these measures and ratios provide users of the Company's financial information with a more accurate view of the performance of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for comparative purposes. Other financial holding companies may define or calculate these measures and ratios differently. See the table below for supplemental data and the corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.

Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company, and its banking subsidiaries, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis ("FTE"). In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources (dollars in thousands).

(D) Net interest margin (GAAP)(annualized)		3.52	%		3.55	%
Net interest margin-FTE (annualized)		3.62	%		3.65	%

Taxable-equivalent adjustments to interest income involve the conversion of tax-exempt sources of interest income to the equivalent amounts of interest income that would be necessary to derive the same net return if the investments had been subject to income taxes. A 35% incremental income tax rate is used in the conversion of tax-exempt interest income to a taxable-equivalent basis.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company reported taxable-equivalent net interest income of $12.4 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 10.9%, from the $11.1 million reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. This increase reflects the Company’s interest rate risk management policy, which is designed to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets (net interest margin) decreased to 3.62% in the second quarter of 2004 from 3.65% in the second quarter of 2003.

The Company’s taxable-equivalent total interest income increased $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period of 2003 due to the increase in average loans outstanding, partially offset by a lower rate environment. Average loans outstanding increased by $116.8 million, or 15.0%, in the second quarter of 2004 over the second quarter of 2003. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 5.17% compared to 5.28% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The second quarter 2004 loan yield was 5.81% compared to 6.14% in the second quarter of 2003. The Company experienced increased yields earned on its investment securities as cash flows from maturities and repayments were reinvested at higher rates. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the yield earned on taxable investment securities increased to 3.85% from 3.57% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The taxable equivalent yields earned on tax-exempt investment securities increased to 5.89% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 5.78% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase in these yields for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003 is the result of matured or repaid securities replaced by higher yielding securities in a higher interest rate environment.

The Company’s funding costs were also impacted by the lower interest rate environment prevalent over the preceding twelve months. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.73% for the second quarter of 2004 from 1.89% for the second quarter of 2003. The Company uses wholesale funding sources, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), to balance the timing differences between its various business funding sources and to support loan origination. In the second quarter of 2004, notes payable, FHLB borrowings, federal funds purchased, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase comprised 28.2% of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities compared to 24.9% in the second quarter 2003 due to loan growth exceeding deposit growth in the period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $600 thousand in the second quarter of 2004 and $825 in the second quarter of 2003. The provision is adjusted to reflect loan growth and management’s assessment of asset quality and risk inherent in the loan portfolio. This loan growth has been primarily concentrated in the commercial and commercial real estate loan categories. These loans inherently involve more risk than exists in residential mortgage and consumer loans.

Other Income

Total other income decreased $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2004 over the second quarter of 2003. The decrease was the result of a $1.3 million gain in the second quarter 2003 on the sale of the merchant credit card processing business, a decrease of $807 thousand in gains on the sale of mortgage loans due to decreased refinancing activity, and a decrease of $500 thousand in automated teller machine (“ATM”) and merchant services due to the sale of the merchant processing business. The decreases were offset by increases in service charges on deposit accounts, security commissions and management fees, and investment securities gains.

14

Other Expenses

Other expenses decreased $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2004 over the second quarter of 2003. The decrease was due to non-recurring expenses in the second quarter 2003 of $450 thousand related to the sale of the merchant credit card processing business, efficiency consulting expense of $570 thousand, and severance charges of $180 thousand. The decrease was also the result of decreases in personnel costs, legal and professional fees, and ATM and merchant services. These decreases were offset by increases in net occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, advertising and other expense. Personnel costs decreased $503 thousand partially due to decreased sales commissions as a result of the decreased volume of refinancing activity on residential mortgages and lower staffing levels offset by the acquisition of Anchor Bank and Hawthorn Bank. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $127 thousand and data processing increased $59 thousand. Both increases are mainly due to the three additional locations as a result of the acquisitions in December 2003. Legal and professional expense decreased $213 thousand. ATM and merchant services decreased $436 thousand mainly due to the sale of the merchant credit card processing business. Other expense increased $363 thousand mainly due to increased amortization of core deposit intangible as a result of the acquisition of Anchor Bank and Hawthorn Bank.

Income Taxes

The Company's consolidated income tax rate varies from statutory rates principally due to nondeductible goodwill, tax-exempt interest income on investment securities, loans, and nondeductible merger related expenses. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 32.1% compared to 27.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Provisions for income tax were $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2004 compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2003.

In accordance with new SEC rules required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 regarding the use of financial measures and ratios not calculated in accordance with GAAP, a reconciliation must be provided that shows these measures and ratios calculated according to GAAP and a statement why management believes these measures and ratios provide a more accurate view of performance.

Certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company's performance. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components) and net interest margin (including its individual components). Management believes that these measures and ratios provide users of the Company's financial information with a more accurate view of the performance of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for comparative purposes. Other financial holding companies may define or calculate these measures and ratios differently. See the table below for supplemental data and the corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financial measures for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.

Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company, and its banking subsidiaries, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis ("FTE"). In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources (dollars in thousands).

Taxable-equivalent adjustments to interest income involve the conversion of tax-exempt sources of interest income to the equivalent amounts of interest income that would be necessary to derive the same net return if the investments had been subject to income taxes. A 35% incremental income tax rate is used in the conversion of tax-exempt interest income to a taxable-equivalent basis.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company reported taxable-equivalent net interest income of $24.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 7.8%, from the $22.5 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This increase reflects the Company’s interest rate risk management policy, which is designed to minimize the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets (net interest margin) decreased to 3.63% in the first half of 2004 from 3.82% in the first half of 2003, reflecting repricing of assets in a low rate environment.

The Company’s taxable-equivalent total interest income increased $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period of 2003 due to the increase in average loans outstanding, partially offset by a lower rate environment. Average loans outstanding increased by $128.2 million, or 16.8%, in the first half of 2004 over the first half of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 5.22% compared to 5.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The first half of 2004 loan yield was 5.83% compared to 6.27% in the first half of 2003. The Company also experienced decreased yields earned on its investment securities as cash flows from maturities and repayments were reinvested at lower rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the yield earned on taxable investment securities decreased to 3.94% from 4.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The taxable equivalent yields earned on tax-exempt investment securities increased to 5.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 5.86% for the six month ended June 30, 2003.

The Company’s funding costs were also impacted by the lower interest rate environment prevalent over the preceding twelve months. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.77% for the first half of 2004 from 1.98% for the first half of 2003. The Company uses wholesale funding sources, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), to balance the timing differences between its various business funding sources and to support loan origination. In the first half of 2004, notes payable, FHLB borrowings, federal funds purchased, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase comprised 27.6% of the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities compared to 24.4% in the first half of 2003 due to loan growth exceeding deposit growth in the period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $1.2 million in the first half of 2004 and $1.4 million in the first half of 2003. The provision is adjusted to reflect loan growth and management’s assessment of asset quality and risk inherent in the loan portfolio. This loan growth has been primarily concentrated in the commercial and commercial real estate loan categories. These loans inherently involve more risk than exists in residential mortgage and consumer loans.

Other Income

Total other income decreased $3.1 million for the first half of 2004 over the first half of 2003. The decrease was the result of a $1.3 million gain in the second quarter 2003 on the sale of the merchant credit card processing business, a decrease of $1.7 million in gains on sale of mortgage loans due to decreased refinancing activity, and a decrease of $977 thousand in automated teller machine (“ATM”) and merchant services due to the sale of the merchant processing business. The decreases were offset by increases in service charges on deposit accounts of $249 thousand, security commissions and management fees of $170 thousand, investment securities gains of $283 thousand, and other income of $156 thousand.

17

Other Expenses

Other expenses decreased $2.8 million in the first half of 2004 over the first half of 2003. The decrease was due to expenses in the second quarter 2003 of $450 thousand related to the sale of the merchant credit card processing business, efficiency consulting expense of $570 thousand, and severance charges of $180 thousand. The decrease was also the result of decreases in personnel costs, legal and professional fees, and ATM and merchant services. These decreases were offset by increases in net occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, advertising and other expense. Personnel costs decreased $1.3 million partially due to decreased sales commissions as a result of the decreased volume of refinancing activity on residential mortgages and lower staffing levels offset by the acquisition of Anchor Bank and Hawthorn Bank. Net occupancy and equipment expense increased $254 thousand and data processing increased $123 thousand. Both increases are mainly due to the three additional locations as a result of the acquisitions in December 2003. Legal and professional expense decreased $211 thousand. ATM and merchant services decreased $822 thousand mainly due to the sale of the merchant credit card processing business. Other expense increased $297 thousand mainly due to increased amortization of core deposit intangible as a result of the acquisition of Anchor Bank and Hawthorn Bank.

Income Taxes

The Company's consolidated income tax rate varies from statutory rates principally due to nondeductible goodwill, tax-exempt interest income on investment securities, loans, and nondeductible merger related expenses. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 32.1% compared to 27.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Provisions for income tax were $3.2 million for the first half of 2004 compared to $2.3 million for the first half of 2003.

Liquidity

The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate liquidity and to maintain an appropriate balance between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers. Liquid assets (including cash deposits with banks, short-term investments, interest-earning deposits, and federal funds sold) are maintained primarily to meet customers’ current needs. The Company had liquid assets of $74.7 million and $78.4 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Capital Resources

There are certain regulatory requirements that affect the Company's level of capital. The following table sets forth these requirements and the Company's capital levels and ratios at June 30, 2004 (dollars in thousands):

	Actual					Regulatory Minimum Requirement					Regulatory Well-capitalized Requirement
	Amount		Percent			Amount		Percent			Amount		Percent
Tier 1 leverage	$	96,970		6.5	%	$	59,559		4.0	%	$	74,449		5.0	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	$	96,970		8.9	%	$	43,727		4.0	%	$	65,591		6.0	%
Risk-based capital	$	122,774		11.2	%	$	87,454		8.0	%	$	109,318		10.0	%

The Company is pursuing a policy of continued asset growth, which requires the maintenance of appropriate ratios of capital to assets. The existing capital levels allow for additional asset growth without further capital infusion. It is the Company's plan to maintain its capital position at or in excess of the "well-capitalized" definition. The Company seeks to obtain additional capital growth through earnings retention and a consistent dividend policy.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest rate risk, the exposure of the Company’s net interest income and net fair value of its assets and liabilities, to adverse movements in interest rates, is a significant market risk exposure that can have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has policies to ensure that neither earnings nor fair value at risk exceed established guidelines and assesses these risks by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rates that may adversely impact expected future earnings and fair values.

The Company has designed strategies to confine these risks within the established limits and identify appropriate risk/reward trade-offs in the financial structure of its balance sheet. These strategies include the use of interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows or fair values resulting from interest rate risk.

The Company designated the current interest swap outstanding as a fair value hedge of an existing loan that qualifies for “short-cut” treatment.Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate ineffectiveness arising from differences between the fair value of the loan and the fair value of the swap.

The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value hedges at June 30, 2004 (dollars in thousands):

Hedged Item	Hedging Instrument	Notional Amount	Fair Value	Remaining Term (Years)
Fixed Rate Loan	Receive Variable Swap	$3,905	$3,806	8.50

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Report are “forward-looking statements” that are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified as such because the statements generally will include words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that describe future plans, objectives, outlooks, targets or goals are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this Report. Factors that could cause such a variance include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, local market competition, customer loan and deposit preferences, governmental regulations, and other general economic conditions. Shareholders, potential investors, and other readers are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Report are only made as of the date of this Report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

19

Assumptions regarding interest rate sensitivity of some deposits also require significant judgment based on historical patterns relative to the industry and the Company’s own experience. Actual sensitivity may vary from the assumptions made, and have an impact on the Company’s net interest margin.
