AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial information of PRIVATEBANCORP, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the "Bank" or "The PrivateBank (Chicago)") and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation for the interim periods. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The annualized results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2003. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The September 30, 2003 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2002 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' consolidated financial statements to place them on a basis comparable with the current period's consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2--ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Pursuant to SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 148), pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share are presented in the following table as if the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans had been utilized. NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------- 2003 2002 ---- ---- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Net income As reported...................... $13,346 $7,787 Pro forma........................ 12,368 7,445 Basic earnings per share As reported...................... $ 1.65 $ 1.06 Pro forma........................ 1.61 1.04 Diluted earnings per share As reported...................... $ 1.55 $ 1.01 Pro forma........................ 1.51 1.00 9 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------- 2003 2002 ---- ---- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Net income As reported...................... $5,130 $3,033 Pro forma........................ 4,803 2,919 Basic earnings per share As reported...................... $ 0.57 $ 0.41 Pro forma........................ 0.57 0.41 Diluted earnings per share As reported...................... $ 0.54 $ 0.39 Pro forma........................ 0.54 0.39 Note: The pro forma results above may not be representative of the effect reported in net income for future years. In determining the fair value of each option grant for purposes of the above pro forma disclosures, the Company used an option pricing model with the following assumptions for grants made in 2003: dividend yield of 0.40%; risk-free interest rate of 4.55%; expected lives of 10 years for the Stock Incentive Plan options, for the compensation replacement options and for the various director options; and expected volatility of approximately 46%, based on the Company's historical stock price experience. On August 28, 2003, the Company granted 163,200 stock options with an exercise price of $34.46 to certain members of management that vest over 4 years. Additionally, on August 28, 2003, the Company granted 23,000 stock options with an exercise price of $34.46 to the Board of Directors of each of the Company, The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis) that vest on December 31, 2003. NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands except per share data) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003:

NOTE 4--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In May 2003, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS No. 150), "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" was issued, establishing standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement requires that an issuer classify certain financial instruments, which may previously have been classified as equity, as a liability. This generally includes financial instruments which either 1) require mandatory redemption at a specified time other than upon liquidation or termination of the entity, 2) include an obligation to either repurchase the issuer's equity shares or is indexed to such an obligation and which may require settlement in cash or 3) require the issuance of a variable number of the issuer's shares based on a monetary amount which is generally unrelated to the value of those shares. The Statement was effective as of July 1, 2003 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's accounting and reporting. In April 2003, SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued, amending and clarifying financial accounting and reporting for certain derivative instruments. This statement is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after September 30, 2003. The statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's accounting and reporting for derivatives. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", which provides guidance on how to transition from the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under APB No. 25 to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting, if a company so elects. The statement also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and APB No. 25 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. While SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method, the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 are applicable to all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they account for that compensation using the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25. Although the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 148 are not applicable to the Company at this time, as it continues to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method, the Company has provided the required disclosures in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The objective of this interpretation is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable 11 interest entity (VIE) and determine when the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest, and results of operations of a VIE need to be included in a company's consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 46 to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. NOTE 5--OPERATING SEGMENTS For purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance, management regards The PrivateBank (Chicago), The PrivateBank (St. Louis), Wealth Management and the Holding Company as four operating segments. The Company's investment securities portfolio is comprised of the two banks' portfolios and accordingly each portfolio is included in total assets and reported in the results of The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis). Compensation expense related to the management of the investment portfolios is allocated solely to The PrivateBank (Chicago). Insurance expense for the Company is allocated to The PrivateBank (Chicago), the Holding Company and the Wealth Management segments. The results for each business segment are summarized in the paragraphs below and included in the following segment tables. We apply the accrual basis of accounting for each reportable segment and for transactions between reportable segments. During the first nine months of 2003, there were no changes in the measurement methods used to determine reported segment profit or loss as compared to the same period in 2002. For the periods presented, there are no asymmetrical allocations to segments requiring disclosure. The accounting policies of the segments are generally the same as those described in Note 1 -- Basis of Presentation to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

The Holding Company's most significant assets are its net investments in its two banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis). During the first quarter 2001, in connection with the issuance of $20.0 million of 9.50% trust preferred securities, the Holding Company issued $20.0 million of subordinated debentures which are accounted for as long-term debt and also qualify as Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital (see note 9). The Tier 1 qualifying amount is limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve regulations. The excess amount qualifies as Tier 2 capital. Holding Company Activities are reflected primarily by interest expense on borrowings and operating expenses. Recurring holding company operating expenses consist of compensation (amortization of restricted stock awards, other salary expense) and miscellaneous professional fees. In May of 2002, PrivateBancorp, Inc. acquired an office building located in St. Charles, Illinois, for $1.8 million from Towne Square Realty. The St. Charles location of The PrivateBank (Chicago) continues to lease space in the building and pays rent to the Holding Company at the same terms and conditions as was paid to the prior owner. 15 HOLDING COMPANY ACTIVITIES -------------------------- SEPTEMBER 30, ------------- 2003 2002 ---- ---- (IN THOUSANDS) Total assets....................... $182,657 $ 121,619 Total borrowings................... -- 22,250 Long-term debt - trust preferred securities...................... 20,000 20,000 Interest expense................... 2,131 1,857 Non-interest income................ 152 65 Non-interest expense............... 2,482 2,178 Total capital...................... 161,105 79,281 Net loss...........................

17 NOTE 9--LONG TERM DEBT -- TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES Effective February 8, 2001, PrivateBancorp Capital Trust I, a newly created Delaware statutory trust and wholly-owned financial subsidiary of the Company, issued 2,000,000 shares (including the underwriters' over-allotment) of 9.50% trust preferred securities, which represent preferred undivided interests in the assets of the trust. The sole assets of the trust are 9.50% junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company with a maturity date of December 31, 2030. Subject to certain limitations, the Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the debentures at any time, or from time to time, for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. At the option of the Company, the debentures may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to maturity on or after December 31, 2005, if certain conditions are met, and only after the Company has obtained Federal Reserve approval, if then required under applicable guidelines or regulations. The Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions and payments upon liquidation or redemption of the trust preferred securities, in each case to the extent of funds held by the trust. The Company and the trust believe that, taken together, the obligations of the Company under the guarantee, the debentures and other related agreements provide, in the aggregate, a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee, on a subordinated basis, of all of the obligations of the trust under the trust preferred securities. The trust preferred securities are recorded as a liability of the Company. The aggregate principal amount of the trust preferred securities outstanding is $20.0 million. As of September 30, 2003, the entire amount of the preferred securities is eligible for treatment as Tier I capital as allowed by the Federal Reserve. At September 30, 2003, the unamortized balance of the underwriting commissions paid and offering expenses was $1.1 million and is classified as part of other assets on the balance sheet. This amount is being amortized on a straight-line basis until maturity at $9,764 per quarter. The amortization is recognized as interest expense on the income statement. In the event the Company exercises its right to redeem the securities prior to maturity, any unamortized commissions would be expensed upon redemption. NOTE 10--CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS During the third quarter of 2003, the Company completed its underwritten public offering of 1,955,000 shares. The public offering price was $31.25 and the Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $57.2 million after deducting underwriting commissions and offering expenses, including shares issued pursuant to the underwriters' over-allotment option. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay $30.0 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility. 18 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW PrivateBancorp, Inc. ("the Company") was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1989 to serve as the holding company for a Chicago-based de novo bank designed to provide highly personalized financial services primarily to affluent individuals, professionals, entrepreneurs and their business interests. Through the Company's banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank and Trust Company ("The PrivateBank (Chicago)") and The PrivateBank (St. Louis), the Company provides its clients with traditional personal and commercial banking services, lending programs, and wealth management services. Using the European tradition of "private banking" as the model, the Company strives to develop a unique relationship with clients, utilizing a team of managing directors to serve the clients' individual and corporate banking needs, and tailoring products and services to meet such needs. Currently, the Company has seven Chicago-area offices: Downtown Chicago, Wilmette, Oak Brook, St. Charles, Lake Forest, Winnetka, and Geneva, Illinois. During 2000, the Company expanded to the St. Louis market, where it opened a new federal savings bank, The PrivateBank (St. Louis). Currently, the Company operates one location in the St. Louis market. Managing directors are strategically located at all of these locations. On December 30, 2002, The PrivateBank (Chicago) acquired an 80% controlling interest in Lodestar Investment Counsel, LLC ("Lodestar"), a Chicago-based investment adviser with $543.4 million of assets under management at September 30, 2003. Lodestar manages equity, balanced, and fixed income accounts primarily for high net-worth individuals, retirement plans and charitable organizations with investable assets generally in excess of $1.0 million, and shares a similar focus on highly personalized client service. For financial information regarding the Company's four separate lines of business, The PrivateBank (Chicago), The PrivateBank (St. Louis), Wealth Management and Holding Company Activities, see "Operating Segments Results" beginning on page 28 and "Note 5 -- Operating Segments" to the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company included on page 11. The profitability of our operations depends on our net interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income, and non-interest expense. Net interest income is dependent on the amounts and yields of interest-earning assets as compared to the amounts and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is sensitive to changes in market rates of interest as well as to the execution of our asset/liability management strategy. The provision for loan losses reflects the cost of credit risk in the loan portfolio and is affected by changes in the loan portfolio, management's assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio, loss experience, as well as economic and market factors. Non-interest income consists primarily of net security gains (losses) and wealth management fee income, and to a lesser extent, fees for ancillary banking services. Non-interest income from fees and deposit service charges are below peer group levels. This is largely the result of the profile of our typical client. Our clients tend to have larger deposit account balances than customers of traditional banks. Because average balances tend to be high, we do not earn the high service charge income typical of many retail banks. Non-interest expense includes salaries and employee benefits as well as occupancy, data processing, marketing, professional fees, insurance and other expenses. Non-interest expenses are influenced by the growth of operations. Our growth directly affects the majority of our expense categories. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgment to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management must use 19 assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurements are not possible or practical. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein. For a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies, see the footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included on pages F-8 through F-14 in our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Below is a discussion of our critical accounting policies. These policies are critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. For PrivateBancorp, Inc., accounting policies that are viewed as critical to us are those relating to estimates and judgments regarding the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the estimation of the valuation of goodwill and the useful lives applied to intangible assets. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date and is based on review of available and relevant information. The allowance contains provisions for probable losses that we have identified relating to specific borrowing relationships as well as probable losses not specifically identified that are inherent in our loan portfolio. We reassess our allowance for loan losses monthly to determine the appropriate level of the reserve. We base the amount of the allowance for loan losses on a variety of factors, including assessment of the credit risk of the loans in the portfolio, volume of loans and commitments in the portfolio, delinquent loans, evaluation of current economic conditions in the market area, actual charge-offs during the period and historical loss experience. The unallocated portion of the reserve involves the exercise of judgment by management and reflects various considerations, including management's view that the reserve should have a margin that recognizes the imprecision inherent in the process of estimating credit losses. Management adjusts the allowance for loan losses by recording a provision for loan losses in an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance at the level determined appropriate. Loans are charged-off when deemed to be uncollectible by management. We believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for estimated probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.23% as of September 30, 2003 compared to 1.20% as of December 31, 2002. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS During 2001, The PrivateBank (Chicago) recorded approximately $12.2 million in goodwill in connection with the Johnson Bank Illinois acquisition. During 2002, the Company recorded $8.4 million of goodwill and $2.5 million in customer intangibles in connection with the Lodestar Investment Counsel, LLC acquisition. These intangible assets are being amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, which requires that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives no longer be amortized but be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if certain indicators arise. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill was being amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 15 years. The Company did not incur any goodwill impairment in 2002 in adopting SFAS 142. The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill each year. Impairment losses on recorded goodwill will be recorded as operating expenses. Goodwill at September 30, 2003 was $19.2 million compared to a similar amount of $19.2 million at December 31, 2002, excluding the Lodestar customer intangible assets of $2.4 million. The acquisition 20 of Lodestar on December 30, 2002, increased goodwill by $8.4 million and Lodestar customer intangible assets by $2.5 million. Amortization expense related to the Lodestar customer intangible assets is expected to be recorded in the amount of $167,000 each year for 15 years. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 AND 2002 NET INCOME Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003, was $5.1 million, up 69% compared to third quarter 2002 net income of $3.0 million. Earnings per diluted share increased 38% to $0.54 per diluted share in the third quarter 2003 compared to $0.39 per diluted share in the third quarter 2002. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, increased to $13.3 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, compared to $7.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the same period last year, reflecting diluted earnings per share improvement of 53%. The improvement in earnings per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the prior year period reflects a significant increase in net interest margin augmented by strong loan demand and increases in banking, wealth management services and other income. Non-interest income for the quarter includes net securities losses of $333,000 compared to net gains of $280,000 during the third quarter of 2002 and gains of $2.3 million during the second quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, increases in net interest income and non-interest income have outpaced the increases in non-interest expense for the period as compared to the prior year periods. During the second quarter 2003, we recognized a gain of $2.4 million on the sale of a single corporate bond from our available-for-sale investment security portfolio. The acquisition of Lodestar in December 2002 contributed to higher non-interest income and non-interest expense during 2003. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees on earning assets and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Interest income includes amortization of loan origination fees recorded from loans. Interest expense includes amortization of prepaid fees on brokered deposits and issuance costs of trust preferred securities. Net interest margin represents net interest income on a tax equivalent basis as a percentage of average earning assets during the period. Net interest margin reflects the spread between average yields earned on interest earning assets and the average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. The volume of non-interest-bearing funds, largely comprised of demand deposits and capital, also affects the net interest margin. Net interest income was $14.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $10.4 million for the third quarter 2002, an increase of 42%, and an increase of 18% compared to the second quarter 2003. Average earning assets during the third quarter 2003 were $1.7 billion, compared to $1.3 billion in the prior year quarter, an increase of 31%, and an increase of 6% from June 30, 2003 levels. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.64% in the third quarter 2003, up from 3.46% in the prior year third quarter and up from 3.33% in the second quarter of 2003. The margin expansion during the third quarter of 2003 reflects a 6 basis point increase in yields on average earning assets and a 20 basis point decrease in the costs of average interest-bearing liabilities from the yields and costs incurred in the second quarter of 2003. During the third quarter of 2003, we used a portion of the net proceeds from our public offering to repay obligations outstanding on our revolving line of credit facility. During the quarter we also repaid in full a subordinated note with outstanding principal of $5.0 million. The changes made to funds borrowed during the third quarter 2003 had a positive impact on improving net interest margin during the quarter relative to the second quarter of 2003, and will continue to positively impact net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2003. The impact of the third quarter FHLB stock dividend payment after an additional $45.0 million stock 21 investment in May 2003 also contributed to the expansion of net interest margin on a quarter-linked basis. Net interest income was $37.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $25.8 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of 45%. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, up from 3.40% in the prior year period. The improvement in net interest margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 was primarily attributable to reductions in the rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, which more than offset the declines in the rates earned on interest yielding assets. During 2003, continued declines in market rates of interest have negatively impacted yields on investment securities. However, our loan portfolio has benefited from the utilization of interest rate floors that have been incorporated into a large percentage of our lending arrangements and have protected our loan yields in this low interest rate environment. The continued declines in market interest rates have allowed us to continue to reduce deposit rates and have resulted in lower rates paid on our borrowed funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. Additionally, net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 has benefited from the deployment of $57.2 million of capital that was raised on July 30, 2003. In addition to the repayment of the amounts outstanding under our revolving line of credit, the capital that was raised in connection with the common stock offering has been utilized to continue to grow our loan and investment portfolios. A changing interest rate environment has an effect on our net interest margin. A large portion of our loan portfolio is based on the prime interest rate and may reprice faster than our deposits and floating rate borrowings. For the remainder of 2003, we do not expect any margin improvement, compared to third quarter, given our intention to extend the duration of our liabilities (see footnotes on page 22). Longer-term liabilities are generally more expensive than shorter-term liabilities given the upward slope of the yield curve. Alternatively, if market interest rates decrease, we expect our net interest margin to experience pressure. The following tables present a summary of our net interest income and related net interest margin, calculated on a tax equivalent basis (dollars in thousands):

The total tax equivalent adjustment reflected in the above table is approximately $772,000 and $756,000 in the third quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $2.2 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The changes recorded in the components of the allowance for loan losses resulted in a provision for loan losses of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $828,000 for the comparable period in 2002. Net charge-offs totaled $246,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 versus net charge-offs of $95,000 for the third quarter of 2002 and net charge-offs of $182,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase in charge-offs was attributable primarily to a single commercial credit. 24 For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the provision for loan losses was $2.8 million compared to $2.9 million for the year earlier period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net charge-offs totaled $498,000 versus net charge-offs of $612,000 in the year earlier period. The increase in the provision for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the prior year period reflects management's ongoing assessment of the losses that are probable and reasonably estimable in the loan portfolio. The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans as of September 30, 2003 compared to September 30, 2002 reflects the credit outlook as of September 30, 2003 based on a review of economic developments and the weakening of credit quality of certain borrowers as reflected by risk rating downgrades. A discussion of the allowance for loan losses and the factors management considers in assessing the adequacy of the allowance begins on page 30. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income was $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2003, reflecting an increase of approximately $2.7 million or 196% from the third quarter of 2002. The increase includes a gain of approximately $765,000 recorded to reflect the fair market value adjustment on an interest rate swap compared to a loss of $662,000 recorded in the third quarter of 2002. Growth in wealth management income and residential mortgage fee income contributed to the expansion in non-interest income compared to the prior year period. Wealth Management income totaled $1.7 million for the third quarter 2003, an increase of $1.0 million from the third quarter 2002 and an increase of $130,000 from the second quarter of 2003. The year-over year increase in wealth management income was primarily due to the inclusion of $810,000 of asset management revenue from Lodestar. Lodestar recognized $756,000 in revenue in the second quarter 2003. The Company acquired Lodestar in the fourth quarter 2002. Our wealth management trust business contributed $900,000 of revenue from trust accounts under administration compared to $686,000 during the prior year third quarter and $824,000 during the second quarter 2003. Non-interest income was $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, reflecting an increase of $6.2 million or 129% as compared to non-interest income of $4.8 million for the same period in 2002. The increase in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was attributable primarily to net securities gains of $1.9 million, a trading loss on an interest rate swap of $519,000, the inclusion of $2.3 million of Lodestar revenue as well as a $1.6 million increase in fee income resulting from the sale of residential mortgages in the secondary market. 25 The following table presents the breakdown of banking, wealth management services and other income for the periods presented:
THREE MONTHS ENDED NINE MONTHS ENDED ------------------ ----------------- SEPTEMBER 30, SEPTEMBER 30, ------------- ------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- Residential real estate secondary market fees......................... $1,204 $ 522 $3,023 $1,428 Wealth management fee revenue.......... 900 686 2,483 2,187 Lodestar asset management revenue...... 810 -- 2,292 -- Banking and other services............. 616 393 1,339 1,040 Bank owned life insurance.............. 127 162 402 452 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total banking, wealth management services and other income........ $3,657 $1,763 $9,539 $5,107 ====== ====== ====== ======
Sales of residential real estate loans generated $1.2 million of income during the third quarter 2003 compared to $522,000 during the prior year quarter primarily due to increased volume of loans sold as a result of continued strong demand for residential real estate loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, sales of newly originated residential real estate loans generated $3.0 million of income as compared to $1.4 million in the year earlier period, an increase of 112%. It is anticipated that the demand for residential real estate loans will subside in the fourth quarter of 2003. Consolidated wealth management assets under management were $1.320 billion at September 30, 2003 compared to $694.0 million at September 30, 2002, and up $55.0 million from $1.265 billion at June 30, 2003. Of these amounts, trust services assets under management were $823.5 million and Lodestar assets under management were $543.4 million at September 30, 2003. Excluded from the consolidation are $46.7 million of trust services assets that are managed by Lodestar. At June 30, 2003, trust services managed $769.1 million of assets, Lodestar managed $538.4 million of assets, and $42.6 million of assets managed by Lodestar were excluded from the consolidation. Trust growth in assets under management during the quarter reflects the impact of net new business generated and the continued rebound in the equity markets. Growth in wealth management income contributed to the expansion in non-interest income during the quarter. Wealth management income totaled $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2003, an increase of $1.0 million from the third quarter of 2002 and an increase of $130,000 from the second quarter of 2003. Of the $1.7 million, approximately $558,000 was revenue generated from wealth management services provided to those clients where a third-party investment manager is utilized. A portion of revenue is used to pay these third-party investment managers and the remaining amount of fees collected are utilized to cover costs associated with administering other aspects of the wealth management services that we provide to clients. Wealth management fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $4.8 million, including $2.3 million of Lodestar asset management revenue, compared to $2.2 million in the year earlier period. Of this amount, approximately $871,000 represents revenue generated from the wealth management services provided to those clients where a third-party investment manager is utilized. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, we paid $211,000 to third-party investment managers. These fees are included in the professional fees category of non-interest expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we paid approximately $532,000 to third-party investment managers. The increase in trust fees over the prior year period reflects a favorable shift in 26 the mix of accounts towards higher fee structures, the addition of new business and equity market improvements experienced during 2003. Of total trust fee revenue, Lodestar asset management revenue contributed approximately $810,000 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Lodestar asset management revenue totaled approximately $2.3 million. During the third quarter of 2003, we recognized income of $127,000 related to the increased cash surrender value of a bank owned life insurance (BOLI) policy that was entered into in the fourth quarter of 2001 as compared to relatively similar levels of income in the second quarter 2002. This policy covers certain higher-level employees who are deemed to be significant contributors to the company. All employees included in this policy are aware and have consented to the coverage. The cash surrender value of BOLI at September 30, 2003 was $11.1 million and is included in other assets on the balance sheet. Securities gains and losses for the third quarter 2003 also include a permanent impairment write-down of $43,000 on the Company's interest-only CMO investments. Continued low levels of market interest rates during the third quarter 2003 resulted in accelerated mortgage prepayments, which further impaired the fair value of our interest-only CMO securities. Our remaining investment in interest-only CMO securities was approximately $12,000 as of September 30, 2003. Included in non-interest income for the 2003 period are trading losses recorded to reflect the fair market value adjustment on an interest rate swap. This interest rate swap was entered into during the third quarter of 2002 in order to hedge a portion of the Company's investment in long-term municipal bonds. The change in the fair market value of the swap is recognized in earnings and results in a loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 because of the overall decline in market rates of interest during the period; for the quarterly period, the change in the fair market value of the swap resulted in a gain due to a slight rise in market rates in July 2003. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, the trading gain totaled $765,000 compared to a loss of $662,000 during the third quarter of 2002 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the trading loss totaled $519,000.

Non-interest expense increased to $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2003 from $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 50%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, non-interest expense increased 44% to $29.8 million from $20.7 million in the prior period. 27 The Company recognized an early termination fee of $408,000 in other operating expenses in connection with the early extinguishment of a $30.0 million fixed rate FHLB advance during the third quarter of 2003. The remaining increase in non-interest expense between the periods is attributable primarily to increased costs associated with continued growth of the organization and the operations of Lodestar. Our efficiency ratio was 53.9% for the third quarter 2003 as compared to 56.3% for the third quarter 2002 and 55.0% in the second quarter 2003. The improvement in the efficiency ratio is primarily due to increases in net interest income as compared to the second quarter 2003. On a tax-equivalent basis, this ratio indicates that in the third quarter of 2003, we spent 53.9 cents to generate each dollar of revenue, compared to 56.4 cents in the third quarter of 2002. Our efficiency ratio declined to 55.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to 57.8% for the same period in 2002. During the remainder of 2003, we expect to maintain a range of 55% to 60% for our level of operating efficiency as the level of noninterest expense increases with the growth of the Company. The efficiency ratio is equal to non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis plus non-interest income. Please refer to footnote 6 on page 24 for a reconciliation of net interest income to net interest income on a tax equivalent basis. Salaries and benefits increased to $5.3 million, or 57% during the third quarter 2003 as compared to the year ago quarter, reflecting the increased level of full-time equivalent employees to 206 people at September 30, 2003 from 176 people at September 30, 2002. Salaries and benefits increased to $15.2 million, or 51% during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the year ago period. The increase is due primarily to overall growth in the organization and the addition of six Lodestar employees in the fourth quarter of 2002. Occupancy expense increased to $1.4 million during the third quarter 2003, reflecting an increase of 14% over the prior year quarter. Occupancy expense increased to $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, reflecting an increase of 15% over the prior year period. The increase in occupancy expense compared to prior year periods reflects the increase of additional floor space that is being leased in our downtown Chicago location as well as the Lodestar office space. Professional fees, which include legal, accounting, consulting services and investment management fees, increased to $1.1 million during the third quarter of 2003, reflecting an increase of 13% over the prior year quarter. Professional fees increased to $3.5 million, or 19%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the prior year period. The increase in professional fees is primarily attributable to higher legal, accounting and information systems consultation services as well as consulting fees paid for the management of our investment portfolio from February to May 2003. Marketing expenses increased to $855,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 from $351,000 in the prior year quarter, an increase of 144%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, marketing expenses were $1.9 million, an increase of $760,000, or 70%, from the year earlier period. During the third quarter 2003, the Company recognized $350,000 of advertising expense related to a marketing campaign that is being distributed via radio advertisements and periodical advertising. Insurance expense increased 58% during the third quarter 2003 over the prior year quarter and 57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 due to the increased cost of insurance in the marketplace, and the renewal of our annual insurance coverage, which was previously under a three-year contract that expired in June 2002. During the third quarter 2003, the Company recognized an early termination fee of $408,000 in other operating expenses in connection with the early extinguishment of a $30.0 million fixed rate FHLB advance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, other operating expenses included a $400,000 loss in connection with a check fraud scheme involving a new deposit account during the second quarter of 2003, accounting for a large portion of the increase in other expense of non-interest expense. The Company is continuing to pursue recovery of the fraud loss in excess of the $150,000 deductible from its insurance carrier who initially denied coverage for the loss. 28 During the first nine months of 2003, we amortized $126,000 in intangible assets related to our acquisition of a controlling interest in Lodestar. INCOME TAXES The following table shows our income before income taxes, applicable income taxes and effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively (in thousands): NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ------------- 2003 2002 ---- ---- Income before taxes.......... $18,613 $9,935 Income tax provision......... 5,267 2,148 Effective tax rate........... 28.3% 21.6% The effective income tax rate varies from statutory rates principally due to certain interest income, which is tax-exempt for federal or state purposes, and certain expenses, which are disallowed for tax purposes. The higher effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the prior year period reflects growth in pretax income of 87% that has outpaced the growth on our federally tax-exempt municipal bonds income. Federally tax-exempt municipal bonds increased to $159.1 million as of September 30, 2003, a 21% increase from $131.5 million at September 30, 2002. In addition, the higher effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the prior year period is also attributable to the increased profitability of The PrivateBank (St. Louis) for 2003 relative to 2002 and has resulted in increased Missouri state tax expense requirements. OPERATING SEGMENTS RESULTS As described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, the Company's operations consist of four primary business segments: The PrivateBank (Chicago), The PrivateBank (St. Louis), Wealth Management and Holding Company Activities. The profitability of The PrivateBank (Chicago) is primarily dependent on the net interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense. Net income for The PrivateBank (Chicago) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased 50% to $14.6 million from $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The growth in net income for the period resulted from improvements in net interest income, which was driven by increases in loans and investments. The improvement in net interest income and non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 more than offset increases in operating expenses associated with continued growth of The PrivateBank (Chicago). Net interest income for The PrivateBank (Chicago) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased to $34.7 million from $26.7 million, or 30%, primarily due to growth in earning assets. The PrivateBank (Chicago)'s investment in FHLB stock increased by approximately $50.8 million during 2003 and continues to have a positive impact on the yield on earning assets during 2003. Total loans increased by 22%, or $176.8 million, to $992.0 million at September 30, 2003 as compared to total loans of $815.2 million at September 30, 2002. The majority of the loan growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 occurred in the commercial real estate and construction loan categories. Total deposits increased by 30% to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2003, from $1.1 billion at September 30, 2002. Growth in money market deposits, jumbo certificates of deposits, non-interest-bearing deposits and increased utilization of brokered deposits accounted for the majority of the deposit growth. Net income for The PrivateBank (St. Louis) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased by $892,000 to $1.4 million as compared to $527,000 in the prior year period. This growth in net income resulted from increases in net interest income and non-interest income, which more than 29 offset increases in operating expenses. Increased fee income from the sale of residential real estate loans continues to have a significant positive impact on The PrivateBank (St. Louis). Net interest income for The PrivateBank (St. Louis) for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased to $3.9 million from $2.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 62%, primarily due to growth in earning assets. Total loans increased 41% to $139.9 million at September 30, 2003 from $99.5 million at September 30, 2002, due primarily to growth in commercial real estate and commercial loans categories. Construction and personal loans also contributed to the increase in loans but to a lesser extent as compared to the growth in the commercial real estate and commercial categories. Total deposits increased by $19.9 million to $128.0 million at September 30, 2003 from $108.1 million at September 30, 2002. The majority of the deposit growth at The PrivateBank (St. Louis) was due to increased money market and jumbo certificates of deposit during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the prior year period. Brokered deposits were $34.8 million at September 30, 2003, a decrease of $15.0 million since September 30, 2002. Wealth management includes investment management, personal trust and estate services, custodial services, retirement accounts and brokerage and investment services. Wealth management assets under management increased by $626.3 million to $1.3 billion at September 30, 2003, as compared to $693.9 million at September 30, 2002, due primarily to our acquisition of Lodestar. Excluding Lodestar, trust assets under administration for the Wealth Management segment were $776.8 million at September 30, 2003, compared to $693.9 million as of September 30, 2002. Lodestar assets under management were $543.4 million as of September 30, 2003. Excluding Lodestar, trust fee revenue generated by the Wealth Management segment was $2.5 million compared to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Revenue generated by Lodestar for nine months ended September 30, 2003 added $2.3 million for a total of $4.8 million in wealth management revenue generated in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Net income for nine months ended September 30, 2003 for our Wealth Management segment was $393,000 as compared to $240,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Lodestar contributed net income of approximately $372,000 (net of taxes) to the Wealth Management segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2003. Net income from the trust area for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to prior year period reflects investments in trust personnel which have been made to support planned growth in the trust area of our Wealth Management segment. Holding Company Activities consist of parent company only matters. The Holding Company's most significant assets are its net investments in its two banking subsidiaries, The PrivateBank (Chicago) and The PrivateBank (St. Louis). Holding Company Activities are reflected primarily by interest expense on borrowings and operating expenses of the parent company. Recurring holding company operating expenses consist primarily of compensation (amortization of restricted stock awards, other salary expense) and miscellaneous professional fees. The Holding Company Activities segment reported a net loss of $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in the amount of the net loss reported for 2003 as compared to prior year period reflects the amount of borrowings recorded at the Holding Company Activities segment. During the third quarter of 2003, the Company repaid a $30.0 million revolving line of credit and a $5.0 million subordinated note, however those balances were outstanding through the end of July 2003 and the middle of August 2003, respectively. Total borrowings, which included trust preferred securities at the Holding Company at September 30, 2003, were $20.0 million, compared to total borrowings of $42.3 million at September 30, 2002. 30 FINANCIAL CONDITION TOTAL ASSETS Total assets increased to $1.9 billion at September 30, 2003, an increase of $313.7 million, or 20% over total assets of $1.5 billion at December 31, 2002, and an increase of $452.8 million, or 32% over $1.4 billion of total assets at September 30, 2002. The balance sheet growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was accomplished mainly through loan growth throughout the Company and growth in the investment securities portfolio. The growth in assets was funded primarily through increases in brokered deposits and to a lesser extent, from growth in core deposits. LOANS Total loans increased to $1.132 billion, an increase of $166.1 million, or 18%, from $965.6 million at December 31, 2002 and an increase of $218.5 million, or 24%, from $913.2 million at September 30, 2002. Loan growth since September 30, 2002 has occurred primarily in the commercial real estate and construction loan categories. The PrivateBank (St. Louis) had loans outstanding of $131.9 million as of September 30, 2003, which reflects growth of $27.2 million, or 26%, since December 31, 2002. The remaining loan growth of $139.9 million during the first nine months of 2003 was generated by The PrivateBank (Chicago). Loan volume at The PrivateBank (Chicago) offices increased 15% at September 30, 2003 as compared to December 31, 2002 loan levels. The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio net of unearned discount by category (in thousands) at the following dates:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Loan quality is continually monitored by management and reviewed by the loan/investment committees of the boards of directors of the banks on a monthly basis. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers a variety of factors, including assessment of the credit risk of the portfolio, delinquent loans, evaluation of current economic conditions in the market area, actual charge-offs during the year and historical loss experience. The unallocated portion of the reserve involves the exercise of judgment by management and reflects various considerations, including management's view that the reserve should have a margin that recognizes the imprecision inherent in the process of estimating credit losses. We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date based on review of available and relevant information, including probable losses that have been identified relating to specific borrowing 31 relationships, as well as probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and credit undertakings that are not specifically identified. Management's application of the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $13.9 million at September 30, 2003 compared with $10.6 million at September 30, 2002. We believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for estimated probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.23% at September 30, 2003, 1.20% at December 31, 2002 and 1.17% at September 30, 2002. Net charge-offs totaled $498,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 versus net charge-offs of $612,000 in the year earlier period. Charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 are primarily the result of two commercial credits. The provision for loan losses was $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, versus $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Following is a summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 (in thousands): 2003 2002 ---- ---- Balance, January 1............................. $11,585 $ 8,306 Provisions charged to earnings................. 2,778 2,948 Loans charged-off, net of recoveries........... (498) (612) ------ ------- Balance, September 30.......................... $13,865 $10,642 ======= ======= Under our methodology, the allowance for loan losses is comprised of the following components: SPECIFIC COMPONENT OF THE RESERVE The specific component of the reserve is determined on a loan-by-loan basis as part of a regular review of our loan portfolio. The Company utilizes a loan rating system to assist in developing an internal problem loan identification system ("Watch List") as a means for identifying and reporting non-performing and potential problem loans. These loans are allocated specifically identified reserves based on the loan ratings assigned to individual loans. The specific reserve is based on a loan's current book value compared to the present value of its projected future cash flows, collateral value or market value, as is relevant for the particular loan. The portion of the provision related to the specific component of the reserve was approximately $489,000 during the first nine months of 2003 resulting in a decrease in this component of approximately $9,000 after giving effect to $498,000 in charge offs during the period. The specific component of the reserve consists of individual credit relationships that have been allocated specifically identified reserves based on the loan ratings assigned to individual loans and other extensions of credit. ALLOCATED INHERENT COMPONENT OF THE RESERVE The allocated portion of the inherent component of the reserve is based on management's review of historical and industry charge-off experience as well as its judgment regarding loans in each loan category over a period of time that management determines is adequate to reflect longer-term economic trends. Loss factors are evaluated by management and adjusted based on current facts and circumstances. Loss factor adjustments reflect management's assessment of the credit risk inherent in each loan category. The portion of the provision related to the allocated inherent component of the reserve was $1,651,000 during the first nine months of 2003. This reserve primarily reflects the increase in volume in our commercial real estate loan portfolio and construction loan portfolio. During 2003, loss factors 32 applied to the allocated inherent component of the reserve have not changed from December 31, 2002 levels. UNALLOCATED INHERENT COMPONENTS OF THE RESERVE The unallocated portion of the inherent component of the reserve is based on management's review of other factors affecting the determination of probable losses inherent in the portfolio, which are not necessarily captured by the application of loss factors. This portion of the reserve analysis involves the exercise of judgment and reflects consideration such as management's view that the reserve should have a margin that recognizes the imprecision inherent in the process of estimating credit losses. The unallocated inherent component of the reserve takes into account an increasingly more complex loan portfolio and growth in the dollar amount of individual credit exposures. The growth and complexity of the loan portfolio exposes us to larger individual charge-offs. The measure of imprecision has increased with this growth and poses greater risk to the Company that losses could exceed our estimates. As a result, management has elected to increase the unallocated inherent component of the reserve. The portion of the provision related to the unallocated inherent component of the reserve was $638,000 for the first nine months of 2003. NONPERFORMING LOANS The following table classifies our non-performing loans as of the dates shown:
9/30/03 6/30/03 3/31/03 12/31/02 9/30/02 ------- ------- ------- -------- ------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Nonaccrual loans...................... $ 517 $ 889 $1,483 $ 749 $ 430 Loans past due 90 days or more........ 1,401 1,849 2,032 650 2,549 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total nonperforming loans............. 1,918 2,738 3,515 1,399 2,979 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total nonperforming assets............ $1,918 $2,738 $3,515 $1,399 $2,979 ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Total nonaccrual loans to total loans. 0.046% 0.080% 0.146% 0.078% 0.047% Total nonperforming loans to total loans.............................. 0.17% 0.26% 0.35% 0.14% 0.33% Total nonperforming assets to total assets............................. 0.10% 0.16% 0.22% 0.09% 0.21%
Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and accruing loans, which are 90 days or more delinquent. Loans in this category include those with characteristics such as past maturity more than 90 days, those that have recent adverse operating cash flow or balance sheet trends, or loans that have general risk characteristics that management believes might jeopardize the future timely collection of principal and interest payments. The balance in this category at any reporting period can fluctuate widely based on the timing of cash collections, renegotiations and renewals. Nonaccrual loans were $517,000 at September 30, 2003 as compared to $749,000 at December 31, 2002 and $430,000 at September 30, 2002. Nonaccrual loans decreased by $232,000 since December 31, 2002. Loans delinquent over 90 days increased by $751,000 since December 31, 2002 to $1.4 million. 33 INVESTMENT SECURITIES The amortized cost and the estimated fair value of securities at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, were as follows (in thousands):

All securities are classified as available-for-sale and may be sold as part of our asset/liability management strategy in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk or liquidity needs. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with related unrealized net gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, recorded as an adjustment to equity capital. At September 30, 2003, net unrealized gains in the available-for-sale securities portfolio totaled $15.8 million compared to $13.4 million at December 31, 2002. Unrealized gains at September 30, 2003 resulted in an increase of $10.4 million in reported stockholders' equity. This was an increase of $1.6 million from net unrealized gains of $8.8 million recorded as part of equity at December 31, 2002. The increase in unrealized gains during the first nine months of 2003 is attributable primarily to gains in tax-exempt municipal securities. These municipal securities generally have long-term maturities and are not callable by the issuer or have long-term call dates. Thus, the fair value of these securities has increased during the first nine months of 2003 as rates on tax-free municipal bonds have fallen. The credit quality of the investment portfolio remains strong. Substantially all of our investments are rated "AAA" by bond rating agencies. It is our policy not to take any undue credit risk with the investment portfolio. 34 Securities available for sale increased to $647.4 million at September 30, 2003, up 33% from $487.0 million at December 31, 2002. The growth in the investment security portfolio since December 31, 2002 resulted from the continued implementation of our asset/liability management strategy. Tax exempt municipal securities increased by $35.6 million. These securities provide net interest margin protection in a falling interest-rate environment because they are long duration assets and they will not reprice as quickly as assets with shorter durations, thereby protecting yields in a falling rate environment. U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations increased by $96.6 million, or 61%. These securities perform relatively well in a rising rate environment because they have shorter durations and will reprice more quickly, which would allow us to reinvest the proceeds at higher rates. Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased by $50.1 million due to the purchase of $45.0 million of stock in May 2003 and stock dividends received during 2003. DEPOSITS AND FUNDS BORROWED The following table presents the balances of deposits by category and each category as a percentage of total deposits at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002:

Total deposits of $1.5 billion at September 30, 2003 represent an increase of $270.8 million or 22% as compared to total deposits of $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2002. Non-interest-bearing deposits increased by 41% to $125.5 million at September 30, 2003 as compared to $89.0 million at December 31, 2002. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased by 11% to $72.0 million as compared to $64.9 million at December 31, 2002. Money market accounts decreased by $6.9 million, or 1%, to $475.7 million at September 30, 2003 as compared to $482.6 million at December 31, 2002. Brokered deposits increased by 62% or $174.5 million to $454.3 million at September 30, 2003 as compared to $279.8 million at December 31, 2002. Other time deposits increased by approximately $57.0 million, or 20%, to $339.7 million as compared to $282.6 million at year-end 2002. 35 We continued to utilize brokered deposits as a source of funding for growth in the loan and investment portfolios. Certain brokered deposits may include call option provisions, which can provide us with the opportunity to repay the certificates of deposit on a specified date prior to the contractual maturity date. As of September 30, 2003, there was one outstanding brokered deposit containing a call provision. The scheduled maturities of brokered deposits, net of unamortized prepaid broker commissions, as of September 30, 2003, for the fiscal years 2003 through 2007 and thereafter, are as follows: For year ending December 31, 2003 $ 35,652 2004(1) 298,185 2005 69,733 2006 30,000 2007(2) 22,000 -------- Total brokered deposits.................................. 455,570 Unamortized prepaid broker commissions...................

(2) Includes one callable-brokered deposit for $15.0 million with a maturity of 9/28/2007 and a call date of 3/29/2004. Membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System gives us the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) and from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) for short- or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. We have periodically used the services of the FHLB for short-term funding needs and other correspondent services. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings totaled $84.5 million at September 30, 2003 compared to $77.8 million at December 31, 2002. Using proceeds from the common stock offering that was completed in the third quarter of 2003, the Company repaid Holding Company borrowings of $30.0 million, costing 3.50% under the Company's $35.0 million revolving line of credit. The Company also retired a $5.0 million subordinated note costing 3.31% during the third quarter 2003. 36 A summary of all funds borrowed and outstanding at September 30, 2003, December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002 is presented in the table below:

(2) This FHLB advance is subject to a fair value hedge utilizing an interest rate swap with a fair value of $2.4 million at September 30, 2003. The contractual par amount on the advance is $25.0 million. (3) Demand repurchase agreements are a form of retail repurchase agreement offered to certain clients of The PrivateBank. Funds are swept each business day from the client's demand deposit account. These amounts are not deposits and are not insured, but are secured by a pool of securities pledged specifically for this purpose.
In February 2002, the Company renewed the term on an $18.0 million revolving credit facility with a commercial bank originally entered into in February 2000. On April 11, 2002, the loan agreement was amended and the revolving line was increased to $25.0 million. On December 24, 2002, the loan agreement was amended to increase the revolving line to $35.0 million and to extend the maturity to December 1, 2003. The interest rate on any borrowings under this revolving line resets quarterly, and is based on, at our option, either the lender's prime rate or three-month LIBOR +120 basis points with a floor of 3.50%. Historically, the Company has elected to pay interest based on the three-month LIBOR rate +120 basis points. On July 30, 2003, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was paid in full 37 using proceeds from the common stock offering completed on July 30, 2003. The payoff included interest of $84,583. In February 2000, the Company issued a subordinated note, in the principal amount of $5.0 million, as part of the purchase price for its acquisition of Johnson Bank Illinois. The interest on the subordinated note is reset each quarter based on the three-month LIBOR rate. The note was payable in full on or before February 11, 2007, and provided for certain rate escalation beginning after February 11, 2002. On February 11, 2002, the interest rate increased from LIBOR +50 basis points to LIBOR +200 basis points. This pricing was in effect until February 11, 2004, at which point the pricing would increase to LIBOR +350 basis points until maturity on February 11, 2007. On August 19, 2003, the subordinated note was paid in full. The average rate of interest on the subordinated note during the 50 days it was outstanding during the quarter was 3.32% compared to 3.84% during the third quarter 2002. On September 5, 2003, the Company prepaid a $30.0 million, 6.21% fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank advance that was scheduled to mature on December 5, 2003. The Company replaced the advance with two new FHLB advances totaling $30.0 million: a $25.0 million advance at 4.16% scheduled to mature on September 3, 2007 and a $5.0 million advance at 2.40% scheduled to mature on September 4, 2005. The Company received two additional advances from the FHLB on the last day of the quarter; a $10.0 million advance at 1.59% scheduled to mature on December 15, 2004 and a $5.0 million advance at 1.56% scheduled to mature on November 6, 2004. CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 2003, $20.0 million of the trust-preferred securities was treated as Tier 1 capital. Stockholders' equity rose to $161.1 million at September 30, 2003, an increase of $72.0 million from the 2002 year-end level, due primarily to gross proceeds of $57.2 from the common stock offering completed on July 30, 2003, year-to-date 2003 net income of $13.3 million and an increase of $1.6 million for the fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale, net of income taxes. On July 30, 2003, the Company completed its sale of 1.955 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering. The public offering price was $31.25. Net proceeds to the Company totaled approximately $57.2 million. As a result of the offering, the Company had 9,742,034 shares outstanding at July 30, 2003. On August 28, 2003, the Company granted 78,350 restricted shares to directors and certain officers of the Company. These shares vest after five years. The Company and its banking subsidiaries are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain areas. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a banking subsidiary is not "well-capitalized," regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If "undercapitalized," capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion and plans for capital restoration are required. 38 The following table sets forth our consolidated regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and December 31, 2002:
SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- 2003 2002 2002 ------------------------------ ---------------------------- ----------------------------- "Well "Well "Well Capital- Excess/ Capital- Excess/ Capital- Excess/ ized" (Deficit) ized" (Deficit) ized" (Deficit) Capital Standard Capital Capital Standard Capital Capital Standard Capital ------- -------- ------- ------- -------- ------- ------- -------- ------- DOLLAR BASIS: Tier 1 leverage capital......... $149,027 $87,456 $61,571 $75,016 $69,344 $5,672 $78,524 $71,818 $6,706 Tier 1 risk-based capital......... 149,027 75,853 73,174 75,016 61,791 13,225 78,524 68,134 10,390 Total risk-based capital......... 162,892 126,421 36,471 90,407 102,985 (12,578) 94,109 113,556 (19,447) PERCENTAGE BASIS: Leverage ratio..... 8.52% 5.00% 5.91% 5.00% 5.47% 5.00% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio... 11.79 6.00 7.61 6.00 6.91 6.00 Total risk-based capital ratio... 12.88 10.00 9.10 10.00 8.29 10.00 Total equity to total assets.... 8.68 5.65 5.77
To be considered "well-capitalized," an entity must maintain a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%. To be "adequately capitalized," a bank must maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.0%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0%. At September 30, 2003, the Company and each of the banking subsidiaries continued to exceed the minimum levels of all regulatory capital requirements. The Company and each banking subsidiary were considered "well-capitalized" under all regulatory standards at September 30, 2003. The Company's issuance of additional common stock to raise additional equity capital during the third quarter 2003 resulted in the Company being considered "well-capitalized" as of September 30, 2003. The preliminary estimate of Total risk-based capital, Tier-1 risk-based capital and leverage ratios was 12.40%, 11.34% and 8.62%, respectively, as reported in a our third quarter 2003 earnings release dated October 20, 2003. The ratios reported in the table above are higher than the preliminary ratios because the preliminary calculations were based on estimates of the breakdown of our loans by type of underlying collateral. The estimates used for loans collateralized by residential real estate, which has a lower risk weighting for regulatory capital purposes, were lower than the actual amounts. The final capital ratio calculations are based on the actual composition of loans by collateral type as is reported in the third quarter report we have filed with our banking regulator. LIQUIDITY Liquidity measures our ability to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund our operations and to provide for clients' credit needs. Our liquidity principally depends on cash flows from operating activities, investment in and maturity of assets, changes in balances of deposits and borrowings and our ability to borrow funds in the money or capital markets. Net cash provided by operations was $41.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to net cash inflows of $14.9 million in the prior year period. The net cash provided during the 39 nine months ended September 30, 2003 was impacted by the growth and timing of receipts of interest and cash settlement payments. Securities totaling $13.3 million were purchased on September 30, 2003 did not settle until October 4, 2003. As a result, $13.3 million payable to a broker for securities purchased was recorded on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2003. Net cash outflows from investing activities were $323.2 million in the first nine months of 2003 compared to a net cash outflow of $195.0 million in the prior year period. Cash inflows from financing activities in the first nine months of 2003 were $282.2 million compared to a net inflow of $205.7 million in the first nine months of 2002. Cash inflows from financing activities include net proceeds from the common stock offering of $57.2 million and the repayment of $35.0 million of borrowings at the holding company. In the event of short-term liquidity needs, our banking subsidiaries may purchase federal funds from correspondent banks. Membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System gives the banking subsidiaries the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB for short- or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. Subject to the waiver of the required notice period, our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is a source of liquidity for the Company. On May 6, 2003, we purchased $45.0 million of additional FHLB stock due to the liquid nature of the investment and management's belief that the FHLB Chicago has shown a consistently strong fundamental business performance. At September 30, 2003, we owned $205.7 million of FHLB stock. The Company can elect at any time to sell FHLB stock at par back to the FHLB, excluding the required FHLB stock minimum that needs to be maintained in order to support existing FHLB advances. FHLB has communicated to the Company that generally the stock will be redeemed immediately upon a request by the Company, however, FHLB can legally require six months advance notice of the stock sale before the stock is actually liquidated for cash at its par value. On September 24, 2003, the Company redeemed $5.0 million of its FHLB stock holdings for liquidity management purposes; cash proceeds were received the same day as requested. Alternatively, FHLB can redeem, at any time any FHLB stock we own, in excess of the required minimum FHLB stock that needs to be maintained in order to support existing advances. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, our utilization of FHLB advances increased due to new advances obtained to take advantage of the availability of longer maturity advances at lower rates. For the remainder of 2003, we expect to continue to utilize FHLB advances as a funding source to the extent that rates on FHLB advances are more attractive than other sources of liquidity. On October 22, 2003, the FHLB Chicago announced that its third quarter dividend will be paid to member financial institutions in stock at an annualized rate of 7.0%. The FHLB Chicago paid first and second quarter dividends at an annualized rate of 6.5%. The third quarter divided will be paid to the Company on November 14, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we continued to rely on brokered deposits to fund growth in loans and investment securities as well as liquidity at our banks. For the remainder of 2003, we expect to continue to rely on brokered deposits for liquidity purposes if brokered rates continue to compare favorably to other sources of liquidity, and may increase the level of these deposits. Our asset/liability policy currently limits our use of brokered deposits to levels no more than 40% of total deposits. Consistent with this policy, brokered deposits represented 31% of total deposits at September 30, 2003 compared to 23% of total deposits at December 31, 2002. We do not expect our 40% threshold limitation to limit our ability to implement our growth plan. 40 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK RISK MANAGEMENT We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates that could affect our results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities. We hedge our interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. We use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools. One of two interest rate swaps we have entered into is designated as a fair value hedge of a fixed rate $25.0 million advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB). We entered into this interest rate swap transaction in 2001 and we agreed to receive a fixed rate in exchange for payment of a 3-month LIBOR floating rate based on an agreed-upon notional amount of $25.0 million. The fair value of the interest rate swap was $2.4 million as of September 30, 2003, a decrease of $485,366 as compared to December 31, 2002. The Company entered into a $25 million interest rate swap during the third quarter of 2002, swapping the 10-year treasury rate for 3-month LIBOR to serve as an economic hedge of a portion of the Company's available-for-sale municipal bond securities portfolio. The September 30, 2003 fair market value adjustment on this swap resulted in the trading loss of $519,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, with a corresponding derivative liability of the same amount. This swap does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment pursuant to SFAS No. 133 ("Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities") and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of the swap are reported in other non-interest income. At September 30, 2003, the carrying value of the trading swap was a liability of $695,000. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT POLICY As a continuing part of our financial strategy, we attempt to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on our net interest income. This effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. Asset/liability management policy is established by our Board of Directors and is monitored by management. Our asset/liability policy sets standards within which we intend to operate. These standards include guidelines for exposure to interest rate fluctuations, liquidity, loan limits as a percentage of funding sources, exposure to correspondent banks and brokers, and reliance on non-core deposits. The policy also states the reporting requirements to the Board of Directors. The investment policy complements the asset/liability management policy by establishing criteria by which we may purchase securities. These criteria include approved types of securities, brokerage sources, terms of investment, quality standards, and diversification. We measure the impact of interest rate changes on our income statement through the use of gap analysis. The gap represents the net position of assets and liabilities subject to repricing in specified time periods. During any given time period, if the amount of rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of rate-sensitive assets, a company would generally be considered negatively gapped and would benefit from falling rates over that period of time. Conversely, a positively gapped company would generally benefit from rising rates. At September 30, 2003, we have become more neutrally gapped as compared to balances at December 31, 2002. During 2003, we have extended the duration of our liabilities in an effort to migrate from a negatively gapped position in the short term to a more interest rate neutral position in the current period. The following tables illustrate our estimated interest rate sensitivity and periodic and cumulative gap positions calculated as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002: 41

The following table shows the impact of immediate 200 and 100 basis point changes in interest rates as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The effects are determined through the use of a simulation model based on our interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios, assuming the size of these portfolios remains constant from the balance sheet date throughout the one-year measurement period. The simulation assumes that assets and liabilities accrue interest on their current pricing basis. Assets and liabilities then reprice based on their terms and remain at that interest rate through the end of the measurement period. The model attempts to illustrate the potential change in net interest income if the foregoing occurred.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2003 DECEMBER 31, 2002 ------------------ ----------------- +200 -100 +200 -200 BASIS BASIS BASIS BASIS POINTS POINTS POINTS POINTS ------ ------ ------ ------ Percentage change in net interest income due to an immediate 200 basis point change in interest rates over a one-year time horizon.... 7.8% (3.4%) 2.9% (10.5)%
This table shows that if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of -100 basis points on September 30, 2003, net interest income would decrease by 3.4% over a one-year period. Due to current market interest rates, a -100 basis point shift is presented for September 30, 2003 as a more reasonable illustration of possible rate changes. The measurement of a -200 basis point instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve at September 30, 2003 would result in a decline in net interest income of 11.7% over a one-year period. At December 31, 2002, if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of -200 we would have suffered a decline in net interest income of 10.5%. Conversely, a shift of +200 basis points would increase net interest income 7.8% 43 over a one-year horizon based on September 30, 2003 balances, as compared to an increase of net interest income of 2.9% measured on the basis of the December 31, 2002 portfolio. Changes in the effect on net interest income from the presented basis point movements at September 30, 2003, compared to December 31, 2002 are due to the timing and nature of the repricing of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities within the one year time frame. The difference in the effect on net interest income at September 30, 2003 as compared to December 31, 2002 is due to the differences in the timing, balances, and current rates versus simulated rates of repricing assets and liabilities. Management's likely reaction to changes in interest rates is incorporated in assumptions made in these calculations. Differences in these assumptions between the reporting periods have also had the effect of reducing the impact of a changing interest rate environment. The preceding sensitivity analysis is based on numerous assumptions including the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the shape of the yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, changes in deposit levels, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows and others. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, we cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how client preferences or competitor influences might change. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation under their supervision, with the participation of other members of management as they deemed appropriate, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as contemplated by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the periodic reports the Company is required to file and submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act. SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we are including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in forward-looking statements. Factors which might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in market rates of interest and loan and deposit pricing; a deterioration of general economic conditions in our market areas; legislative or regulatory changes; adverse developments in or changes in the composition of the Company's loan or investment portfolios; significant increases in competition; difficulties in identifying attractive acquisition opportunities or strategic partners to complement our private banking approach and the products and services we offer; and the possible dilutive effect of potential acquisitions or expansion. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake 44 no obligation to update publicly any of these statements in light of future events except as required in subsequent periodic reports we file with the SEC. 45 PART II ITEM 1.
