LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
Each year this letter serves as our forum to report to you on Pinnacle's
performance for the past year as well as an opportunity to communicate our
objectives for the future. As we look back on 1995, we see a successful twelve
months on a number of fronts. Net income exceeded our initial expectations,
total assets were up 20%, and stockholders' equity increased 15%. Pinnacle's
common stock price increased 12%. An acquisition added two new banking centers
to the group and a conversion to a new data processor has given us the
technology necessary to provide enhanced service and to market products beyond
Pinnacle's previous capabilities.
 
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
 
Net income for 1995 was $12,493,000, or $2.83 per share, compared to $2,255,000,
or $0.51 per share earned in 1994. The substantial increase was the result of
large net securities losses recorded in 1994. In addition, a 5% increase in net
interest income and a lower provision for loan losses in 1995 compared with 1994
contributed to the improvement in earnings. The return on average equity was
18.1% in 1995 and the return on average assets totalled 1.55%.
 
Total assets were $818,697,000 at December 31, 1995, up 20% from the previous
year end. The increase was the result of the acquisition of Acorn Financial Corp
and its subsidiary bank, Suburban Trust & Savings Bank, in January, 1995.
Likewise, loans and deposits increased. At year-end 1995, total loans were
$309,600,000, up 25%, and total deposits amounted to $712,805,000, an increase
of 19% from the prior year end.
 
Stockholders' equity was $78,961,000 at December 31, 1995 which represented a
15% increase over the amount at year-end 1994. Book value per share amounted to
$18.05. Dividends of $1.16 per share were paid in 1995, up 7% from 1994.
 
The components of Pinnacle's earnings were similar to previous years. Net
securities gains totalled $4,730,000 in 1995 with three-fourths of the gains
resulting from Pinnacle's term portfolio and the remaining one-fourth from the
equity portfolio. While net interest income was up 5%, an increase in the level
of earning assets was the contributor. Pinnacle's net interest margin fell from
4.28% in 1994 to 3.90% in 1995 as the relatively low level of interest rates
coupled with a high volume of U. S. Government securities held compressed the
spread between the yields earned and the rates paid.
 
No provision for loan losses was made in 1995 compared to $900,000 provided in
1994. Net charge-offs amounted to $151,000, or 0.05% of average loans in 1995.
The allowance for loan losses was $6,023,000, or 1.95% of total loans at
December 31, 1995 compared to 1.70% of loans at year-end 1994. Total
nonperforming loans were $8,015,000 and other real estate owned amounted to
$284,000 at year-end 1995. While the total nonperforming asset total of
$8,299,000 increased 2.2 times from the amount at year-end 1994, approximately
one-half of the increase was the result of the Acorn transaction which added
significant dollars to Pinnacle's reserve for loan losses. Notwithstanding this
increase, several long-standing problem assets were resolved in 1995.
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 1995 were 2.68% of total loans plus other
real estate owned, and amounted to 1.01% of total assets.
 
THE BANKING SIDE
 
One of Pinnacle's stated objectives has been to improve the core earnings of the
banking function. Too many times Pinnacle is viewed on the outside for its
non-bank successes -- the investment portfolio, tax planning strategies and
other innovative programs unrelated to traditional banking. While these items
can continue to play an important part for Pinnacle, today's environment
mandates the importance of the core banking function.
 
Many of Pinnacle's successes in 1995 were with this factor in mind. The
acquisition of Acorn in January of 1995 added two locations to the Pinnacle
franchise. Pinnacle now has twelve banking locations, including seven within a
seven-mile radius in the near western suburbs.
 
Early in 1995, Pinnacle completed the conversion to a new data processing
system. While the obvious factors of enhanced customer service and improved
technology should be evident in any conversion, the corollary benefits were
substantial. For example, extensive training touched each employee and new data
capabilities provided information to take marketing and sales to a new level.
 
In this regard, Pinnacle expanded its advertising to include both television and
radio for the first time. Direct marketing also became a dominant program. Gone
are the days where bankers only needed to wait at their desks for customers to
walk in the door. Our challenge is to meet the competition of other banking
organizations and the non-bank financial providers with a stronger marketing and
sales culture. Pinnacle added ten new banking products including free checking,
new loan options and expanded trust and non-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
bank products in its markets during the past year. We must make sure that the
current customer base and our perspective clients know what we have to offer.
 
The investment in technology and people in 1995 was supplemented by an
investment in facilities during the year. A newly constructed facility in Cicero
replaced an existing, outdated building. The core of the Pinnacle trust
department moved to the recently purchased Westmont facility in order to enhance
Pinnacle's visibility in a highly fertile market. In Elburn, on the western
fringe of the Chicago area, a new banking facility is under construction in
order to replace a less visible location.
 
The lending function continues to be an area of opportunity for Pinnacle. The
loan growth in 1995 resulted from the Acorn acquisition. While internal growth
on a year end-to-year end comparative basis was minimal without the acquisition,
a significant number of new credits were booked. In order to compete in a highly
competitive lending environment, we intend to be a little more aggressive on
pricing while keeping our credit standards intact.
 
OUR OBJECTIVES
 
Our goals remain the same: to enhance shareholder value by effectively
leveraging Pinnacle's equity base and to achieve returns on equity and assets
significantly in excess of peer group performance. We can accomplish these
objectives through continued acquisitions; our goal is to exceed $1 billion in
assets within the next twelve months. We will continue to repurchase Pinnacle
shares and we have increased the dividend payout in January, 1996, for the
eighth consecutive year. On the banking side, we will continue our efforts to
improve the core earnings of the bank and ensure that responsive, quality
service will differentiate Pinnacle banks from our competitors.
 
In any successful corporation, the organizational structure is a key component
in achieving corporate objectives. During the past two years, Pinnacle has been
undergoing a process which culminated in changes in executive management
effective January 1, 1996. On that date, John J. Gleason, Jr. was designated as
Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle, succeeding John J. Gleason, Sr. who
continues as Chairman of the Board. William P. Gleason was named President of
Pinnacle succeeding Mark P. Burns. Mark, who had previously indicated a desire
to reduce his on-site commitment to Pinnacle, will continue to be active
primarily through business development, officer calling programs and sales
training.
 
The recently completed year of 1995 was a successful one for Pinnacle. The year
currently underway will be much more challenging. The relatively low rate
environment coupled with the high volume of U. S. Government securities and a
flat yield curve will continue to put pressure on Pinnacle's net interest margin
and its earnings in the near term. We have cautioned many times against putting
too much emphasis on one good or bad year or quarter of results for Pinnacle.
Our objective is to manage with a wider perspective. Over the past five years,
Pinnacle's return on equity has averaged 16.3% and the return on assets has
amounted to 1.50%. Both continue to be well in excess of peer group performance
and management is confident in its ability to continue to post strong results
over future periods.
 
We thank you for your continued support and assure you that maximizing
shareholder value remains our number one priority.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ John. J. Gleason, Jr.
 
John J. Gleason, Jr.
Vice Chairman and
 Chief Executive Officer

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PINNACLE BANC GROUP, INC. and Subsidiaries
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(1)   ACCOUNTING POLICIES:         
 
      The consolidated financial statements of the Pinnacle Banc Group, Inc.
(the "Corporation") and Subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices prescribed for
the banking industry. The Corporation is a multi-bank holding company registered
under the Bank Holding Company Act and is engaged in the business of banking
through the ownership of subsidiary banks. A description of the significant
accounting policies follows:
 
     (a)  CONSOLIDATION -               
 
          The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and
Subsidiaries include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries,
Pinnacle Bank ("PB"), Pinnacle Bank of the Quad-Cities ("PBQC"), and Batavia
Savings Bank ("BSB"). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in the preparation of these statements.
 
          PB was formed through the merger of First National Bank of Cicero
("FNBC"), Berwyn National Bank ("BNB"), and First National Bank in Harvey
("FNBH") with and into Bank of LaGrange Park ("BLGP") on July 9, 1993. Each of
these Banks were subsidiaries of the Corporation. As part of the merger, the
name of BLGP was changed to Pinnacle Bank. The transaction was accounted for in
a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
 
          PBQC was formed through the merger of The Henry County Bank ("HCB")
with Bank of Silvis ("BOS") on December 7, 1992. HCB and BOS were each
subsidiaries of the Corporation. The transaction was accounted for in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests.
 
     (b)  STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS -    
 
          For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and Federal funds sold. Generally,
Federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
 
                  i.) In the consolidated statements of cash flows, acquisitions
by the Corporation are recorded as net cash from investing activities and,
accordingly, cash flows are net of the impact of the acquisitions discussed
below. In 1995, Acorn Financial Corp ("AFC") and its subsidiary bank, Suburban
Trust & Savings Bank ("STSB") was purchased by the Corporation and cash of
$23,413,897 was paid for the acquisition. At the date of purchase, the balance
sheet of AFC included cash and cash equivalents of $8,614,094 resulting in a net
cash position of $14,799,803.
 
                  ii.) In the statements of cash flows for the Parent Company
(Note 18), acquisitions by the Corporation are recorded as net cash from
investing activities in the amount of the cash paid for the acquisitions net of
cash acquired. In 1995, this amount was $23,413,897 for the acquisition of AFC.
 
     (c)  SECURITIES -                  
 
          Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". SFAS No. 115 addresses the
accounting and reporting of investments in equity securities that have readily
determinable fair values and for all investments in debt securities. Securities
are to be classified in three categories: held-to-maturity securities, trading
securities and available-for-sale securities.
 
          Upon adoption of SFAS No. 115, all securities held by Pinnacle were
classified as available-for-sale. As a result, securities are carried on the
balance sheet at fair value, with corresponding (after tax) valuation
adjustments included in stockholders' equity. The adoption of SFAS No. 115 had
the effect of increasing stockholders' equity by approximately $6,800,000, at
January 1, 1994.
 
          Premium and discount on securities are included in interest income on
securities over the period from acquisition to maturity or earlier call date
using the level-yield method. The specific identification method is used to
record gains and losses on securities transactions.
 
     (d)  LOANS -                       
 
          Loans are stated net of unearned income. The unearned income on
installment loans is recognized as interest income over the term of the loans
using the sum-of-the-months-digits method, which does not differ materially from
the effective interest method.
 
          Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan
origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of
the related loan's yield. The Corporation generally amortizes these amounts over
the contractual life of the related loans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
          In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan". This standard was amended in October, 1994, by SFAS
No. 118, "Accounting for Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition
and Disclosure". SFAS No. 114 addresses the accounting for loans when it is
probable that all principal and interest amounts due on a loan will not be
collected in accordance with its contractual terms (i.e. "impaired loans").
Pursuant to SFAS No. 114, to the extent the recorded investment of an impaired
loan exceeds the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows or other
measures of value, a valuation allowance is established for the difference. The
corresponding allocation or charge will be to either the allowance for loan
losses or to the provision for loan losses, respectively, depending on the
adequacy of the overall allowance for loan losses. The Corporation adopted SFAS
No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 effective as of January 1, 1995. There was no effect on
the financial position and results of operation of the Corporation upon adopting
these standards.
 
          No changes were required to Pinnacle's accounting policies to loans,
charge-offs, and interest income as a result of adopting these Statements.
 
     (e)  ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES -   
 
          The allowance for loan losses is determined by management based on
factors such as past loan loss experience, evaluation of known and inherent
losses in the loan portfolio, prevailing economic conditions, and other factors
and estimates which are subject to change over time. Management adjusts the
allowance for loan losses by recording a provision for loan losses in an amount
sufficient to maintain the allowance at a level commensurate with the risks in
the loan portfolio. Loans are charged-off when deemed to be uncollectible by
management.
 
     (f)  PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT -      
 
          Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed using a
combination of the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.
 
     (g)  OTHER REAL ESTATE -           
 
          Other real estate, included in other assets, includes property
acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Other real estate
is carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Losses arising at the time of
acquisition of property in full or partial satisfaction of loans are recorded as
loan losses. Subsequent losses or expenses on the property are charged to other
expenses. Income received on the property is recorded as an offset to expenses.
 
     (h)     INCOME TAXES -                
 
          The consolidated Federal income tax return of the Corporation includes
the accounts of each subsidiary bank. Under the terms of a tax-sharing agreement
with the Corporation, each subsidiary bank is required to pay to the Corporation
the Federal income tax liability computed as if the subsidiary bank were to file
a separate income tax return. In the event of a separate bank net operating
loss, the Corporation shall remit to each subsidiary bank the appropriate amount
of each refund. The tax-sharing agreement also includes a provision that the
Corporation will indemnify each subsidiary bank against all tax liabilities for
any taxable year in which the subsidiary bank joins with the Corporation in
filing a consolidated return.
 
          Pinnacle adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which
modified the provisions of SFAS No. 96, with an effective date of January 1,
1993. SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for
income taxes. Its objective is to recognize the amount of taxes payable or
refundable for the current year, and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
future tax consequences for items that have been recognized in the Corporation's
financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of tax assets and
liabilities is based on enacted tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if
necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized
based on available evidence.
 
          The cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 109 on periods prior
to January 1, 1993 amounted to a benefit of $1,700,000, net of a valuation
allowance, which was recorded as a deferred tax asset.
 
     (i)  LONG-LIVED ASSETS -           
 
          In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and
Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"). The Corporation is required
to adopt the provisions of SFAS 121 in 1996. Based

on information currently available, the Corporation does not expect the impact
of adoption SFAS 121 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial
condition or results of operations.
 
     (j)  ESTIMATES -                   
          In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management made
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein and the
disclosures provided. These estimates and assumptions may change and future
results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
 
(2)   ACQUISITIONS:                
 
      On January 6, 1995, the Corporation completed the acquisition of AFC and
its subsidiary STSB. The purchase price was $23,413,897 in cash for all the
issued and outstanding shares of AFC. Funds to pay for the purchase were
borrowed from an unaffiliated bank. At the date of purchase, AFC was liquidated
and concurrent with the liquidations, STSB was merged into PB. As of the date of
purchase, AFC had total assets of approximately $144,000,000. Goodwill of
approximately $13,000,000 created in the acquisition is being amortized on a
straight line basis over fifteen years.
 
      This transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and the excess of the aggregate purchase price paid over the fair value of the
net assets acquired consisted of goodwill. The results of operations of STSB
have been included in the consolidated financial statements since date of
acquisition. No pro forma financial information is presented for 1995 since the
acquisition closely coincides with the beginning of the year and would not
differ significantly from the results reported. The following unaudited
condensed results of operations reflect the acquisition of AFC as if the
acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 1994 (in thousands, except per
share amounts):

</TABLE>
 
      At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Corporation had goodwill of $17,046,795
and $5,493,782, respectively. Goodwill is stated net of accumulated amortization
of $17,465,633 and $15,921,398 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price paid over the
fair value of the net assets received in the purchases of FNBC and BLGP in 1980,
FNBH in 1982, FNBC's purchase of Cicero State Bank ("CSB") in 1982, BOS in 1989,
BNB and HCB in 1991, BSB in 1992, and AFC in 1995. Goodwill is being amortized
on straight line and accelerated methods over periods of 10 years to 20 years.
Amortization of goodwill amounted to $1,544,235 in 1995, $1,340,021 in 1994, and
$1,340,019 in 1993.
 
      Other intangibles consist of a deposit base intangible totalling
$2,130,625 and $2,471,525 as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, which
was allocated to values associated with the acquired deposits of the Berwyn
branch of Olympic Federal Savings Association. Other intangibles are stated net
of accumulated amortization of $1,278,375 and $937,475 at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively. Amortization of the deposit base intangible, which is being
amortized over an estimated 10-year life, amounted to $340,900 in 1995, 1994,
and 1993.

      Proceeds from sales of debt securities during 1995 were $3,091,833,533.
Gross gains of $4,279,315 and gross losses of $272,550 were realized on those
sales. Proceeds from sales of debt securities during 1994 were $1,621,779,610.
Gross gains of $807,111 and gross losses of $12,292,899 were realized on those
sales.
 
      At December 31, 1995 and 1994, securities carried at approximately
$29,477,162 and $26,131,828, respectively, were pledged to secure public and
trust deposits, securities sold under agreement to repurchase, and for other
purposes as required or permitted by law.
 
      The mortgage-backed securities are direct obligations of U. S. Government
agencies and the floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations are primarily
secured by obligations of U. S. Government agencies. In the opinion of
management, there were no material securities held at either December 31, 1995
or 1994, which constituted an unusual credit risk for the Corporation.

      The balance of impaired loans at December 31, 1995, was $5,739,714, while
the average balance for the year was $5,992,000. No portion of the allowance for
loan losses was allocated to the impaired loans at December 31, 1995. Interest
income recognized on impaired loans was approximately $267,000. Interest income
recognized on a cash basis only was approximately $119,000.
 
      Loan concentrations are defined as amounts loaned to a multiple number of
borrowers engaged in similar activities, which would cause them to be similarly
impacted by economic or other conditions. Although the Corporation has a
diversified loan portfolio, a substantial natural geographic concentration of
credit risk exists within the Corporation's defined customer market areas. These
geographic market areas include the Chicago metropolitan area and the
Quad-Cities metropolitan area of Illinois and Iowa.

1995, a deferred tax asset relating to an installment note sale, for which a
valuation allowance had been established, was recognized. This, together with
establishment of the valuation allowance for the state tax net operating loss
carryforward resulted in the change in the valuation allowance. Also included in
the net deferred tax asset is the tax effect of the unrealized gain on
securities which is not recorded through the provision for taxes, but directly
to Stockholders' Equity.
 
      The net operating loss carryforward for Federal purposes relates to the
parent company and is subject to significant limitation on its usage. At
December 31, 1995, the Federal net operating loss carryforward amounted to
approximately $3,641,000 which expires, if unused, in the years 1999 to 2001.
The State net operating loss carryforward amounted to $23,549,000 which expires,
if unused, in the years 2010 and 2011.
 
      At December 31, 1995, the Corporation had an alternative minimum tax
credit carryforward of approximately $1,284,000, which is not subject to
expiration.
 
(8)   NOTES PAYABLE:               
 
      The Corporation has financed acquisitions, purchases of equity securities
and short-term cash requirements of the parent company with an unaffiliated
bank. At December 31, 1995, the borrowings are composed of a $23,000,000 demand
loan used for the acquisition of AFC and a $7,000,000 revolving line of credit.
Total outstandings were $20,600,000 at December 31, 1995 of which $20,000,000
related to the AFC note. During 1994, the borrowings of the Corporation were
composed of a non-revolving note and a $10,000,000 revolving line of credit
which was replaced by the aforementioned line of credit. Total outstandings were
$5,400,000 at December 31, 1994.
 
      These borrowings bear interest at a floating rate tied to the prime rate
or LIBOR, are due on demand and are secured by the common stock owned by the
Corporation of each subsidiary bank.
 
(9)   PROFIT-SHARING AND INCENTIVE PLANS:
 
      The Corporation maintains a trusteed, profit-sharing plan covering
substantially all employees who have met age and service requirements. Annual
contributions are made in accordance with a resolution passed by the Boards of
Directors of the Corporation and each subsidiary bank and amounted to $414,144
for 1995, $337,072 for 1994, and $339,259 for 1993.
 
      The Corporation and each subsidiary bank maintain profit incentive plans
which are available to certain key executives. Distributions are based on the
performance levels of the Corporation and each subsidiary bank, and are subject
to the Board of Directors' approval.
 
(10)  STOCK OPTION PLAN:          
 
      In April, 1990, the shareholders approved the 1990 Incentive Stock Option
Plan ("1990 Plan"). The 1990 Plan covers key employees of the Corporation and
requires that all options be issued at an option price at least equal to the
fair market value per share of the Corporation's common stock on the date
granted. No options may be granted to any individual who owns more than 10% of
the Corporation's common stock unless the grant is at a purchase price of 110%
of the option's fair market value on the date of grant. Under the 1990 Plan, the
aggregate number of shares which could be issued under options are 246,666
shares.
 
      The Corporation previously had an incentive stock option plan originally
adopted in 1981 ("Prior Plan") which terminated on December 31, 1990 in regards
to the issuance of new options. The Prior Plan was amended in 1988 and the
options previously granted by companies merged into the Corporation were
converted into options to purchase shares of the Corporation. The substantive
terms of the Prior Plan were the same as the 1990 Plan. Under the Prior Plan,
the aggregate number of shares which could be issued under options were 366,667
shares. Upon adoption of the 1990 Plan, no additional option shares could be
issued under the Prior Plan.
 
      The following table summarizes stock option transactions for 1995, 1994,
and 1993 giving effect to stock splits. At December 31, 1995, 47,166 option
shares under the 1990 Plan and no

      In 1995 and 1993, the Corporation derived tax deductions from the
disposition of stock option shares by participants of the Prior Plan before the
expiration of defined holding periods for tax purposes. These tax deductions are
measured by the excess of the market value over the option price at the date of
sale by the participant. The related tax benefit is credited to additional
paid-in capital. The Corporation makes no charges against capital with respect
to options granted.
 
      During 1993, individuals exercised stock appreciation rights relating to
13,333 shares with an average grant value of $10.42 per share. Upon exercise of
these stock appreciation rights, the Corporation paid compensation, the majority
of which was previously accrued, to the individuals holding the stock
appreciation rights in the amount of the difference between the market price of
the Corporation's common stock on the date of exercise and the grant price. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, no stock appreciation rights were outstanding.

      Balance, December 31, 1995................................  $3,055,015

</TABLE>
 
      Directors of the Corporation and subsidiaries were customers of and had
transactions with the subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business during the
period presented above and additional transactions may be expected in the
future. In management's opinion, all outstanding loans, commitments and deposit
relationships included in such transactions were made on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with others, and did not involve more than a normal
risk of collectibility or other unfavorable features.
 
      One director of the Corporation is a partner in a law firm that provides
various legal services to the Corporation and its subsidiary banks. Fees for
these services were $250,128 in 1995, $262,040 in 1994, and $104,150 in 1993.
 
(13)  LITIGATION:                 
 
      During the first quarter of 1994, a judgment in the amount of $2,300,000
was entered in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court against PB. The judgment is the result
of a suit filed against PB by a trustee of a debtor in bankruptcy. The trustee
claimed that PB honored overdrafts in the debtor's bank account without
obtaining prior court approval. The amount of the judgment represents the
cumulative amount of all payments received by PB from the debtor to cover
overdrafts. While PB appealed the decision in 1994, management, upon the advice
of legal counsel, settled the case for $1,275,000 in December, 1995. The
settlement amount had been previously accrued.
 
      The Corporation and the subsidiary banks are subject to other pending and
threatened legal actions which arise in the normal course of business. In the
opinion of management, based upon consultation of legal counsel, the disposition
of all outstanding matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position and results of operations.

(14)  DISCLOSURES ABOUT ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
      SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
requires the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it
is practicable to estimate that value, and the disclosure of the method(s) and
significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial
instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to
estimate that value:
 
    (a)   CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS, FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND INTEREST BEARING 
          DEPOSITS -
 
          For these short-term instruments, the carrying value approximates fair
value because these instruments are short-term in nature and do not present
unanticipated credit concerns.
 
    (b)   SECURITIES -                  
 
          For debt securities and equity securities available for sale, fair
values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market
price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for
similar instruments or carried at cost.
 
    (c)   LOANS -                       
 
          The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting
scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market
discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the
loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Corporation's and the industry's
historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as
required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending
conditions.

      Fair value for significant impaired loans is based on estimated cash flows
which are discounted using a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the
estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and
discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information
and specific borrower information.
 
    (d)   DEPOSIT LIABILITIES -         
 
          The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
non-interest bearing deposits, savings, and NOW accounts, and money market and
checking accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of December 31,
1995. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value
of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
    (e)   SHORT TERM BORROWINGS AND NOTES PAYABLE -
 
          Rates currently available to the Corporation and Subsidiaries for debt
with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of
existing debt.
 
    (f)   UNRECOGNIZED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -
 
          The fair value of unrecognized financial instruments including
commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees
are insignificant and, therefore, not presented.
 
      The estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments at
December 31 are as follows:

premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the
Corporation's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no
actively traded market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation's
financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding
future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgments and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
 
      Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance-sheet
financial instruments. The disclosures do not address the value of the
Corporation's other types of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities
or the value of anticipated future business. In addition, the tax ramifications
related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a
significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in many
of the estimates.
 
(15)  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK:
 
      The Corporation has, through its subsidiary banks, financial instruments
with off-balance-sheet risk made in the normal course of business to meet the
financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial
guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial
statements. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of
involvement the subsidiary banks have in particular classes of financial
instruments. The Corporation is not using any derivative products for hedging or
other purposes.
 
      The subsidiary banks' exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Each subsidiary bank
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the
subsidiary banks had the following financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk:

Commitments to extend credit..........................  $70,651,000  $59,326,000
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees
 written..............................................    2,982,000    3,412,000
</TABLE>
 
      Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. Each subsidiary bank evaluates each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary, by each subsidiary bank upon extension of credit
is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held
varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
 
      Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by the subsidiary banks to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support
public and private financing arrangements for a period of less than two years.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Each subsidiary bank
holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed
necessary.
 
(16)  REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS:    
 
      The subsidiary banks are subject to Federal and state laws which restrict
the payment of dividends to the Corporation. Based on these restrictions, at
January 1, 1996, the subsidiary banks could have declared approximately
$2,715,000 in dividends without requesting approval of the applicable Federal or
state regulatory agency.
 
      Based on the types and amounts of deposits received, banks are required to
maintain non-interest bearing cash balances in accordance with Federal Reserve
Bank reserve requirements. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the non-interest

                                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Pinnacle Banc Group, Inc.:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pinnacle Banc
Group, Inc. (an Illinois Corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the December
31, 1993 financial statements of Batavia Savings Bank, which statements reflect
assets of 10 percent of the consolidated totals. Those statements were audited
by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar
as it relates to the amounts included for that entity, is based solely on the
report of the other auditors.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
 
In  our  opinion, based  on  our audit  and the  report  of other  auditors, the
consolidated financial  statements  referred to  above  present fairly,  in  all
material  respects,  the financial  position of  Pinnacle  Banc Group,  Inc. and
Subsidiaries as  of  December  31, 1995  and  1994,  and the  results  of  their
operations  and  cash flows  for each  of the  three years  in the  period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                   NET INCOME
 
                             1995 COMPARED TO 1994
 
NET INCOME
 
Consolidated net income was $12,493,000, or $2.83 per share, on a fully diluted
basis in 1995, an increase from the $2,255,000, or $0.51 per share, earned in
1994. The return on average assets was 1.55% for 1995 and 0.32% for 1994. For
each year, the return on average equity was 18.1% and 3.4%, respectively. Return
on average assets and equity for 1995, calculated including the effects of SFAS
No. 115 would not be materially different.
 
Net income for 1995 included pre-tax securities gains of $4,730,000 compared
with $(9,845,000) of net securities losses in 1994. The majority of the
securities gains were taken in the second quarter of 1995 and were part of the
ongoing term portfolio management system which Pinnacle has followed since 1988.
 
Net interest income increased 5%, primarily as a result of the increase in
average earning assets of 14% due to the acquisition of Acorn Financial Corp
("AFC").
 
Other factors contributing to the improved earnings for Pinnacle was a decrease
in the provision for loan losses and the increase in other operating income due
to the acquisition. Other operating expense was up 13% also primarily due to the
acquisition.
 
The results for 1995 include the acquisition of AFC and its subsidiary bank,
Suburban Trust & Savings Bank, on January 6, 1995. AFC was liquidated into
Pinnacle and concurrent with the liquidation, Suburban Trust & Savings Bank
("Suburban") was merged with Pinnacle Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Pinnacle. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Results of operations
of Suburban, including purchase accounting adjustments, are included in the
operating results of Pinnacle Bank.
 
NET INTEREST INCOME
 
The primary component of Pinnacle's consolidated earnings is net interest
income, or the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest
paid on supporting liabilities. The net interest margin is net interest income
expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Pinnacle's earning assets
consist of loans, securities, interest bearing deposits at banks and Federal
funds sold. Supporting liabilities primarily consist of deposits, short-term
borrowings and notes payable. A portion of Pinnacle's interest income is earned
on tax exempt investments such as state and municipal bonds. In an effort to
state this tax-exempt income and its resultant yields on a basis comparable to
all other taxable investments, an adjustment is made to analyze this income on a
tax-equivalent basis.
 
An analysis of net interest income is presented in Table 1. The variance
analysis of net interest income due to rate and volume changes is contained in
Table 2.
 
Pinnacle's average earning assets were $744,318,000 in 1995, or 14% higher than
the previous year. The increase in average earning assets was due to the
acquisition. The net interest margin for 1995 was 3.90% compared to 4.28% for
1994. The decrease in the net interest margin has been the result of the
relatively low level of interest rates coupled with the structure of Pinnacle's
balance sheet, its low loan-to-deposit ratio, and high volume of short-term U.
S. Government securities. Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis
was $29,019,000 in 1995, or 4% higher than in 1994. Actual net interest income
increased 5%.
 
The yield earned on total earning assets was 7.36% in 1995 compared to 6.83% in
1994. The increase resulted from a higher level of interest rates in the entire
year of 1995 compared to 1994. As a result of the reinvestment of securities
proceeds from the term portfolio management system into higher yielding
securities, the average rate on taxable securities was 6.16% for 1995 compared
to 5.29% of a year ago. The average volume of taxable securities increased
$11,851,000 due to the acquisition of Suburban. This, coupled with the increased
yield, increased interest income on taxable securities by $3,909,000. The
average yield earned on loans increased to 8.54% for 1995 compared to 8.31% of a
year ago. While the increase in the yield on average loans is not large, the
ratio of average loans to average earning assets was 41.6% in 1995 compared to
38% of a year ago. The average volume of loans increased to $309,818,000 or 25%
in 1995 due to the acquisition. The average yield earned on short-term
investments increased 124 basis points to 5.55% in 1995 while average balances
increased $17,395,000. Total interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent
basis, increased $10,206,000 due to both the positive effect of the increase in
interest rates and the increase in the level of average earning assets.
 
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 100 basis points to
4.02% in 1995 from

3.02% in 1994. The average rate paid on interest-bearing demand and savings
deposits increased 35 basis points. The average rate paid on money market
deposits increased 38 basis points. Pinnacle has taken action at appropriate
intervals to adjust the rates paid on these accounts in order to keep these
accounts in line with market rates. The average rate paid on other time deposits
has had the largest increase due to changes in the level of interest rates, with
a 145 basis point increase. Absent the effect of the acquisition, the average
balances in certain of the deposit categories, including savings deposits and
money market deposits have decreased while other time deposits have increased.
Management believes the decrease in savings deposits is partially the result of
the previous low interest rate environment where customers attempted to achieve
higher yields by switching funds to non-bank investments or special-term
deposits at other financial institutions. Additionally, certain of the banking
locations are in older, mature neighborhoods where the deposits are being lost
due to death, moving, or changing demographics of the neighborhood. Management
has taken steps to limit the disintermediation of funds by raising interest
rates in certain time deposit categories beginning in the latter half of 1994
and continuing through 1995. Special-term deposits have also been introduced.
Management has also added other deposit options including free checking, as well
as non-bank investment choices, for its customer base. While the non-bank
investment option does not necessarily retain or attract new deposits, the fee
income generated offsets some of the cost of lost deposits. These steps have
resulted in new accounts and current customers' committing their funds to longer
time periods as evidenced by the increase in average time deposit balances. All
these moves by management have, however, added to the increase in the rate paid
on certain deposit categories as indicated above.
 
The average balance in short-term borrowings decreased due to the greater
availability of investible funds resulting from the acquisition. The average
balance in notes payable increased to $24,684,000 due to the acquisition of AFC.
The average rate paid on notes payable has increased as the rates paid on these
notes are tied to either prime or LIBOR-based indices, which have increased
since 1994.
 
As a result of the increase in rates paid, as well as average balances, total
interest expense was $9,099,000 higher in 1995 compared to 1994.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
Management records a provision for loan losses in an amount sufficient to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level commensurate with the risks in
the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is adjusted through charges to
current income based on factors such as past loan loss experience, management's
evaluation of potential losses in the loan portfolio, and prevailing economic
conditions.
 
Effective January 1, 1995, Pinnacle adopted Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan",
and its amendment No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--
Income Recognition and Disclosure". The adoption of these standards did not have
any effect on the financial position and results of operations of Pinnacle.
 
Management's system of review of the loan portfolio and the attendant
determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is made up of a
number of factors. The most significant part of the system is the independent
credit review system which reviews all commercial credits in excess of $100,000
and all commercial real estate credits in excess of $250,000 on an annual basis
at a minimum, with problem credits reviewed more often as necessary. An
informed, judgmental determination is made of the risk associated with loans
which have received low grades under the credit review system. This estimated
risk as well as any valuation allowances related to impaired loans are taken
into account in determining the allowance for loan losses. In addition, the
allowance includes additional reserves for coverage of unidentified risks.
 
In addition to the credit review system, on a quarterly basis an internal report
provides an analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for management and the
Board of Directors. This analysis focuses on allocations based on loan review
ratings and historical charge-off and recovery data. Management also reviews the
status of all watch list credits on a monthly basis. The process and the amount
of the allowance and of the provision have also been subject to the review of
external auditors and banking regulatory authorities. Management believes that
it has an effective system of credit review assessment demonstrated by the fact
that Pinnacle has not recorded a significant loss from a loan that had not been
previously identified as a watch list credit by the loan review process.
 
There was no provision for loan losses in 1995 compared to $900,000 for 1994.

charge-offs of $151,000, or 0.05% of average loans, in 1995 compared to net
charge-offs of $218,000, or 0.09% of average loans in 1994. The allowance for
loan losses was $6,023,000, or 1.95% of loans, at December 31, 1995, compared to
1.70% of loans at year-end 1994. The decrease in the provision for loan losses
to zero from $900,000 of a year ago was made due to several circumstances,
including the level of allowance for possible loan losses to total loans, which
has been steadily increasing for the last five years, management's assessment of
the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, as well as the downward
trend of net charge-offs to average loans.
 
At December 31, 1995, nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans; loans
past due greater than 90 days and still accruing; and restructured loans, were
$8,015,000 compared with $1,300,000 at the previous year end. While this
increase is significant, approximately 50% of these loans are attributed to the
acquisition in 1995. At the date of the acquisition, AFC was required by
Pinnacle to have a reserve of at least 2.5% of total loans to cover the
potential problem loans in the portfolio as well as those loans which were noted
during the due diligence performed by Pinnacle. A restructured loan which was
acquired from AFC, included in the above total, is current and performing as
agreed. Loans considered impaired under SFAS No. 114 include nonaccrual loans,
restructured loans, and loans classified as at least doubtful under Pinnacle's
credit risk classification system. All of Pinnacle's impaired loans are included
in the nonperforming category.

In addition, Pinnacle held $284,000 classified as other real estate owned
("OREO") at December 31, 1995. Other real estate includes property acquired
through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. These assets are carried at
the lower of fair value less estimated cost to sell or cost. Losses arising at
the time of acquisition of property in full or partial satisfaction of loans are
recorded as loan losses. Subsequent losses or expenses on the property are
charged to other expenses. Income received on the property is recorded as an
offset to expense. During 1995, all property carried at December 31, 1994 was
sold with no significant impact on the results of operations. The remaining OREO
consists of three properties from AFC which are actively being offered for sale.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Total nonperforming assets were $8,299,000, or 2.68% of total loans plus other
real estate owned at December 31, 1995. Total nonperforming assets were 1.01% of
total assets at year end. Table 4 provides data regarding nonperforming assets.
 
NET SECURITIES GAINS
 
In 1995, a significant factor contributing to Pinnacle's higher net income was
net securities gains. On a pre-tax basis, net securities gains were $4,730,000
compared to losses of $(9,845,000) in 1994. The net gains realized in 1995
consisted of gross gains of $5,079,000 and gross losses of $349,000.
 
The majority of the net securities gains recorded by Pinnacle related to its U.
S. Government securities portfolio. Sales of these securities resulted in net
securities gains of $3,586,000 recorded in 1995 and net securities losses of
$(11,392,000) recorded in 1994. The securities sales were made as part of
Pinnacle's disciplined portfolio funds management system. The majority of the
gain taken on securities transactions was in the second quarter and consisted of
U. S. Government securities with a maximum maturity of less than one year. At
December 31, 1995, the U. S. Government securities had a remaining maturity of
four months.
 
The timing of these sales and the determination of the acceptable maturity for
the reinvestment of the proceeds was made dependent on the slope of the yield
curve and on management's assessment of the acceptable interest rate risk for
Pinnacle. The use of the securities portfolio to manage interest rate risk is
especially crucial to Pinnacle because of the fact that its loan to asset ratio
was a low 38% at December 31, 1995. This results in a securities portfolio
significantly larger than comparable financial institutions. The maximum term of
any U. S. Government security held as part of Pinnacle's term portfolio strategy
is four years although at year-end, the longest maturity of any single issue was
four months based on management's assessment of interest rate risk. Management
views the portion of the net gains recorded on this program due to slope as
closely related to its net interest income as opposed to a one-time item. While
management believes that its system of portfolio strategy, as it relates to the
slope of the yield curve, will continue to add dollars to earnings above the
base yield on securities, management also recognizes that in a period of rising
interest rates, any rise in the interest margin would be offset by losses taken
through the term portfolio strategy. While this scenario occurred in 1994, the
proceeds of those sales and subsequent sales in 1995 were reinvested at higher
interest rates, and the loss in 1994 was recovered by the resulting increase in
the net interest margin prior to the original maturity of the securities sold in
1994. Since implementation of the program, the average yield on these securities
has outperformed the U. S. Treasury Index by 31 basis points and by including
the net gain for the period, the total yield is 145 basis points higher than the
same Index.
 
The net securities gains recorded in 1995 included gains of $695,000 related to
Pinnacle's equity investment program which consists of preferred and common
stock investments in other financial institutions. The remaining gains relate to
the sale of securities acquired through the AFC purchase.

OTHER NON-INTEREST INCOME
 
The major components of Pinnacle's other non-interest income consist of service
charges on deposit accounts, other banking income and trust fees. Fees on
banking services and other income were $4,918,000 for 1995 compared to
$3,704,000 in 1994, an increase of 33%. The primary source of banking fee income
in 1995 was deposit service charges totalling $3,139,000, an increase of 32%
from the $2,379,000 level of 1994, due to the acquisition. Also included in
other banking income was a gain of approximately $319,000 relating to the sale
of an installment note included in Other Assets. Trust fees increased 31% on a
year-to-year basis. Trust assets under management at year end amounted to $241
million at December 31, 1995, or 44% above the total one year earlier. Both the
increase in trust fees and trust assets resulted from the acquisition.
 
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
 
Non-interest expense totalled $23,882,000, an increase of 13% in 1995 compared
to 1994. Employee compensation and benefits increased 27%, primarily due to the
acquisition, higher profit incentive bonus accruals due to higher 1995 earnings
and general employee raises. Occupancy expense totalled $3,137,000, up 70% from
1994. While the acquisition of AFC added to the increase, occupancy expense also
included a planned write-off of $434,000 relating the demolition of an old
branch office building (a new building contiguous to the old site was opened in
June, 1995) and a $150,000 accrual for a lease buy out on a storage facility
which occurred in January, 1996. Other expense decreased 16%. These expenses
were reduced by approximately $364,000 as a result of the FDIC insurance premium
rebate. Also included in other operating expenses in 1994 was a loss contingency
charge of $750,000 relating to litigation which was settled in the last quarter
of 1995. Legal expenses also decreased on a year-to-year basis, down $310,000.
This decrease was the result of the settlement of several pending litigation
items as well as sale in early 1995 of certain pieces of OREO. Other expenses
relating to that OREO also decreased $154,000. Offsetting these decreases were
increases in equipment and data processing costs associated with the conversion
to a new data processing system for Pinnacle that was completed in 1995 as well
as expenses related to the acquisition of AFC.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
Pinnacle's Federal income tax return is prepared on a consolidated basis
including the accounts of its subsidiary banks. Due to the higher level of
pre-tax income in 1995, there was a tax provision of $3,139,000 in 1995 compared
to a benefit of $(2,319,000) in 1994. The primary components of Pinnacle's net
deferred tax asset at December 31, 1995 are differences between the book and tax
bases of securities and other assets, allowance for loan losses, purchase
accounting adjustments, deferred compensation and deferred loan fees. A detailed
analysis of income taxes and the components of the deferred tax assets is
contained in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31,
1995, Pinnacle had a consolidated Federal net operating loss carryforward of
$3,641,000, which if not used, expires from the years 1999 to 2001. The majority
of the Federal net operating loss carryforward relates to the parent company and
is subject to significant limitations on its usage.
 
There was no provision for state income taxes in 1995 compared to a benefit of
$(761,000) in 1994. There was no state tax benefit in 1995 due to the
significant holdings of U. S. Government securities which are exempt from state
tax. Additionally, all carryback claims for losses were utilized in 1994, with
carryforwards remaining. The tax benefit in 1994 related to low pre-tax earnings
for Pinnacle and the ability to carryback losses for state tax purposes for a
refund of previously paid taxes. At December 31, 1995, Pinnacle had, for state
tax purposes, a net operating loss carryforward of $23,549,000 which expires in
the years 2010 and 2011.

                             1994 COMPARED TO 1993
 
NET INCOME
 
Consolidated net income was $2,255,000, or $0.51 per share, on a fully diluted
basis in 1994, a per share decrease of 82% from the $12,993,000, or $2.87 per
share earned in 1993. The return on average assets was 0.32% for 1994 and 1.80%
for 1993. For each year, the return on average equity was 3.4% and 18.9%,
respectively. Return on average assets and equity for 1994, calculated including
the effects of SFAS No. 115 would not be materially different.
 
Net income for 1994 included pre-tax securities losses of $(9,845,000) compared
with $8,741,000

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
of net securities gains in 1993. The majority of the securities losses were
taken in the second quarter of 1994 and were part of the ongoing term portfolio
management system which Pinnacle has followed since 1988.
 
While the rising interest rate environment created the losses taken in the
portfolio, the proceeds of those transactions were reinvested in
higher-yielding, shorter-term securities which, in turn, had a direct positive
impact on the net interest margin in 1994. Net interest income increased
$3,171,000, or 14% over 1993. In 1994, there was a decrease in the provision for
loan losses of $800,000, or 47%. Other operating income decreased 3%, while
other operating expense increased 3%. Due to the effect of the securities losses
in 1994, there was an income tax benefit of $(2,319,000) versus a provision of
$4,005,000 in 1993.
 
NET INTEREST INCOME
 
Pinnacle's average earning assets were $652,080,000 in 1994, or 3% lower than
the previous year. The decrease in average earning assets was due to the
corresponding decrease in deposits, primarily in other time deposits. The net
interest margin for 1994 was 4.28% compared to 3.70% for 1993. The increase in
the net interest margin resulted from the reinvestment of proceeds from the
securities transactions into higher-yielding securities, a higher ratio of loans
to average earning assets in 1994 and the general lag in the repricing of core
savings deposits in an increasing interest rate environment. Net interest income
on a fully tax-equivalent basis was $27,912,000 in 1994, or 12% higher than in
1993. Actual net interest income increased 14%.
 
The yield earned on total earning assets was 6.83% in 1994 compared to 6.31% in
1993. The increase resulted from a higher level of interest rates in 1994
compared to 1993. As a result of the reinvestment of securities proceeds in
higher yielding securities, the average rate on taxable securities was 5.29% for
1994 compared to 4.56% of a year ago. While the average volume of taxable
securities declined $21,932,000 due to the reduction in deposits, the increase
in yield earned on taxable securities more than offset the decline in volume and
thus increased interest income on taxable securities by $1,682,000. The average
yield earned on loans increased to 8.31% for 1994 compared to 8.21% of a year
ago. While the increase in the yield on average loans is not large, the ratio of
loans to average earning assets was 38% in 1994 compared to 35% of a year ago.
The average volume of loans increased $9,174,000 or 4% in 1994. The average
yield earned on short-term investments increased 139 basis points to 4.31% in
1994. Total interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased
$1,940,000 with the positive effect of the increase in interest rates
outweighing the decrease in the level of average earning assets.
 
The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 7 basis points to
3.02% in 1994 from 3.09% in 1993. The average rate paid on interest-bearing
demand and savings deposits declined 22 basis points. This drop is much less
than the drop in 1993 from 1992 of 70 basis points. Due to the rapidly
increasing interest rate environment, Pinnacle has taken action at appropriate
intervals to adjust the rates paid on these accounts in order to keep these
accounts in line with market rates. The average balance of these accounts
dropped $7,352,000 or 2% from 1993. The average rate paid on time deposits,
conversely, has increased 8 basis points. The average balance of these accounts
has decreased $14,242,000, or 7% from a year ago. Management believes that the
decline in these deposits is the result of the previous low interest rate
environment and the customer's attempt to achieve higher yields by switching
funds to non-bank investments or special-term deposits at other financial
institutions. Management has taken steps by raising interest rates in certain
time deposit categories in the last six months of 1994 to limit the
disintermediation of these funds. This move by management has added to the
increase in the average rate paid on time deposits which, until the fourth
quarter of 1994, had declined 15 basis points. Total interest expense was
$1,030,000 lower in 1994 compared to 1993, primarily as a result of the decrease
in average balances of interest-bearing deposits.
 
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
 
The provision for loan losses was $900,000 for 1994 compared to $1,700,000 for
1993. Pinnacle had net charge-offs of $218,000, or 0.09% of average loans, in
1994 compared to net charge-offs of $1,154,000, or 0.48% of average loans in
1993. The net charge-off amount recorded in 1993 was primarily the result of
charge-offs totalling $1,232,000 related to two loans secured by commercial real
estate. The allowance for loan losses was $4,229,000, or 1.70% of loans, at
December 31, 1994, compared to 1.43% of loans at year-end 1993. The decrease in
the provision for loan losses of $800,000 at year-end 1994, compared with the
previous year-end, was reflective of the decreased level of non-performing
assets.

                                                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
At December 31, 1994, nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans; loans
past due greater than 90 days and still accruing; and restructured loans, were
$1,300,000 compared with $5,868,000 at the previous year end. The decrease in
nonperforming loans is attributable to the payment of principal in full of one
loan totalling $1,300,000; the return to accrual of a loan totalling $1,900,000
which has continued to perform, with principal reductions in excess of
$1,000,000; and the return to accrual of a loan which is adequately secured by
real estate and on which payments are current. If non-accrual loans had been
accruing interest at their original terms in 1994, additional interest income
would have amounted to $66,000.
 
NET SECURITIES LOSSES
 
In 1994, the most significant factor contributing to Pinnacle's lower net income
was net securities losses. On a pre-tax basis, net securities losses were
$(9,845,000) compared to gains of $8,740,000 in 1993. The net losses realized in
1994 consisted of gross losses of $12,440,000 and gross gains of $2,595,000.
 
The majority of the net securities losses recorded by Pinnacle related to its U.
S. Government securities portfolio. Sales of these securities resulted in net
securities losses of $11,392,000 recorded in 1994 and net securities gains of
$7,311,000 recorded in 1993. The securities sales were made as part of
Pinnacle's disciplined portfolio funds management system. The majority of the
loss taken on securities transactions was in the second quarter and consisted of
U. S. Government securities with a maximum maturity of 24 months. During the
third quarter, the average maturity was shortened with little loss taken.
Additional losses of approximately $3,200,000 recorded in the final quarter of
1994 were taken on these U. S. Government securities with the continued intent
of shortening the average maturity of the term portfolio. At December 31, 1994,
the U. S. Government securities had a remaining maturity of five months.
 
The timing of these sales and the determination of the acceptable maturity for
the reinvestment of the proceeds was made dependent on the slope of the yield
curve and on management's assessment of the acceptable interest rate risk for
Pinnacle. The use of the securities portfolio to manage interest rate risk is
especially crucial to Pinnacle because of the fact that its loan to asset ratio
was a low 36% at December 31, 1994. This results in a securities portfolio
significantly larger than comparable financial institutions. While the majority
of the losses taken on the term portfolio in 1994 resulted from the significant
rise in interest rates since the beginning of 1994, management continues to feel
that its system of portfolio strategy as it relates to the slope of the yield
curve will continue to add dollars to earnings above the base yield on
securities. Because of the rising interest rate environment of 1994 and despite
the shortening of the average maturity throughout the year, reinvestment of the
proceeds of the securities sales were made at yields greater than the rates on
securities sold, thus offsetting the effect of the losses by increasing the net
interest margin.
 
The net securities gains recorded in 1994 included gains of $1,772,000 related
to Pinnacle's equity investment program which consists of preferred and common
stock investments in other financial institutions. The remaining gains were
recorded on the term portfolio early in the first quarter of 1994.
 
OTHER NON-INTEREST INCOME
 
The major components of Pinnacle's other non-interest income consist of service
charges on deposit accounts, other banking income and trust fees. Fees on
banking services and other income were $3,704,000 for 1994 compared to
$3,903,000 in 1993, a decrease of 5%. The primary source of banking fee income
in 1994 was deposit service charges totalling $2,379,000, a drop of 10% from the
$2,632,000 level of 1993. A significant portion of the drop in service charges
related to business deposit accounts. In a rising interest rate environment,
these customers earn greater credit on their balances, thus offsetting fees
charged. Trust fees increased 3% on a year-to-year basis. Trust assets under
management at year end amounted to $167 million at December 31, 1994, or 2%
above the total one year earlier.
 
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
 
Non-interest expense totalled $21,060,000, an increase of 3% in 1994 compared to
1993. Employee compensation and benefits decreased 1%, primarily as a result of
lower profit incentive bonus accruals due to lower 1994 earnings. Occupancy
expense totalled $1,848,000, down 4%. Other general expenses amounted to
$8,072,000, up 11%. Included in other general expenses was a provision of
$750,000 for issues currently in litigation. Without these reserves, other
expenses would have been unchanged.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
INCOME TAXES
 
Due to the high level of securities losses in 1994, there was a tax benefit of
$(2,319,000) in 1994 compared to a provision for $4,005,000 in 1993. The primary
components of Pinnacle's deferred tax asset at December 31, 1994 are differences
between the book and tax bases of securities and other assets, provision for
loan losses, purchased accounting adjustments, deferred compensation and
deferred loan fees. A detailed analysis of income taxes and the components of
the deferred tax assets is contained in Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements. At December 31, 1994, Pinnacle had a consolidated net operating loss
carryforward of $3,641,000, which if not used, expires from the years 1999 to
2001. The majority of the net operating loss carryforward relates to the parent
company and is subject to significant limitations on its usage.
 
The provision for state income taxes in 1994 was a tax benefit in the amount of
$(761,000) compared to a benefit of $(108,000) in 1993. The tax benefit in 1994
related to low pre-tax earnings for Pinnacle and from Pinnacle's significant
holdings of U. S. Government securities, which are exempt from state tax, and
the ability to carryback losses for state tax purposes for a refund of
previously paid taxes.
 
                                 BALANCE SHEET
 
Total assets were $818,697,000 at December 31, 1995, or 20% higher than total
assets of $684,892,000 at year-end 1994. The increase in total assets relates to
the acquisition of AFC on January 6, 1995.
 
SECURITIES
 
Pinnacle's securities portfolio is its most significant Balance Sheet asset.
Total securities were $426,929,000 at December 31, 1995 and consisted of U. S.
Government securities of $370,545,000; MBS's and CMO's totalling $10,306,000;
State and municipal bonds of $25,839,000 and Corporate and other securities of
$20,238,000. Total securities outstanding increased 10% from 1994. The increase
was primarily due to the acquisition of AFC. Certain securities acquired from
AFC which were not within Pinnacle's investment guidelines were sold with
proceeds reinvested primarily in U. S. Government securities. A detailed
analysis of securities, including unrealized gains and losses as well as
maturity schedules is contained in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
Currently, Pinnacle is not using any derivative products for hedging or other
purposes.
 
Pinnacle adopted SFAS No. 115, effective January 1, 1994 and classified all
securities held by Pinnacle as available for sale. As a result, all securities
are carried on the Balance Sheet at fair value, with corresponding (after tax)
valuation adjustments included in stockholders' equity. During the year, the
change in the valuation adjustment was an increase of $4,004,000 resulting in
total unrealized gains, net of tax, of $7,052,000 at December 31, 1995.
 
LOANS
 
Total loans were $309,600,000 at December 31, 1995, an increase of 25% over
loans outstanding of $248,404,000 at December 31, 1994. All categories of loans
increased due to the acquisition, with the greatest increase in commercial real
estate loans. Absent the effects of the acquisition, loans increased
approximately $3,000,000, with the majority of the increase in both residential
and commercial real estate loans. Pinnacle's loan to asset ratio increased to
38% at December 31, 1995; although it remains significantly lower than the
industry average. Factors which contribute to the low loan to asset ratio
include the market areas in which certain of the banks are located as well as
certain acquisitions in recent years, such as Berwyn National Bank acquired in
1991 with a 13% loan to asset ratio and the acquisition of $120 million in
deposits of the Berwyn branch of Olympic Federal Savings Association in 1992
with no corresponding loans. Management's goal is to increase this ratio through
quality loan growth across a consistent spectrum of commercial, consumer and
real estate borrowers. Management targets borrowers who are or will be full
relationship banking customers as opposed to single product loan customers.
 
At December 31, 1995, Pinnacle's mix of loans consisted of 57% in real estate
loans, 27% in commercial loans and 16% in consumer loans, which remained
substantially consistent with the mix at December 31, 1994. Commercial loans
declined while consumer installment loans increased. A substantial portion of
Pinnacle's loans are owner-occupied, one-to-four family residences, as well as
consumer related with home equity and home improvement loans. This mix is in
line with Pinnacle's focus on increasing the importance of retail lending.

                                                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
DEPOSITS
 
Total deposits were $712,805,000 at December 31, 1995, or 19% higher than
year-end 1994. The majority of the increase in deposits is a result of the
acquisition. Table 5 provides an analysis of deposits by category for the past
three years.
 
Absent the effect of the acquisition, savings deposits have dropped
approximately $21,000,000 and money market deposits have dropped approximately
$9,000,000. Other time deposits have increased approximately $21,000,000.
Management believes the drop in savings and money market deposits is the result
of the low interest rate environment in years prior to 1994 where customers
earned similar rates on their savings deposits as they would have with time
deposits without long-term commitment of funds. As the rates began to rise,
customers attempted to earn higher rates by moving to non-bank products and
special term deposits at other financial institutions or brokerage-type
companies. Changing demographics of certain of the banking center locations has
also led to the shift and loss of deposits. During the last half of 1994, and
continuing throughout 1995, management has taken steps to increase and maintain
interest rates on deposits and provide products to reduce the disintermediation
of funds. As indicated by the mix of deposits shown on Table 5, deposits have
shifted from savings and money market deposits into time deposits, indicating
customers are more willing to commit their funds for defined periods of time.
 
Pinnacle's deposit base continues to be made up of a high amount of low cost
core deposits in comparison with peer group institutions. However, the impact on
earnings of this deposit base has been somewhat offset in the current
environment due to increased rates paid on these deposits. Also, the increase in
rates paid on time deposits caused a shift from savings and money market
accounts to time deposits.

GOODWILL
 
Goodwill and other intangibles amounted to $19,177,000, or 24% of stockholders'
equity, at December 31, 1995. Goodwill and other intangibles relate to premiums
paid in Pinnacle's acquisitions. The increase from year-end 1994 was the result
of the acquisition of AFC, where approximately $13,000,000 in goodwill was
recorded.
 
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
 
Short-term borrowings are being made on a day-to-day basis to fund banking
liquidity needs when necessary. There were no short-term borrowings at December
31, 1995.
 
NOTES PAYABLE
 
Pinnacle had $20,600,000 outstanding in notes payable at December 31, 1995,
compared to $5,400,000 at December 31, 1994. During 1995, Pinnacle increased
their borrowings by $23,000,000 to acquire AFC. An additional $8,800,000 was
used for the repurchase common stock, the purchase of equity securities, and
other corporate needs. Repayments of $16,600,000 were made from dividends from
subsidiary banks, and sales and dividends of equity securities. Pinnacle had a
revolving line of credit of $7,000,000 at December 31, 1995, of which $600,000
has been drawn.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                               CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Total stockholders' equity of Pinnacle was $78,961,000 at December 31, 1995 up
15% from $68,836,000 at December 31, 1994. The ratio of equity to assets was
9.64% and 10.05% at each year end, respectively.
 
The Federal Reserve Board ("Board") regulations prescribe capital requirements
for bank holding companies. Pinnacle must have a Leverage Capital Ratio with a
minimum level of Leverage capital to total assets of 3.00%. Leverage capital is
the same as Tier One capital, and consists of common stock, additional paid-in
capital and retained earnings, and is exclusive of Pinnacle's allowance for loan
losses, goodwill and other intangibles, and unrealized gain on securities
available for sale, net of tax. As of December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
Pinnacle's Leverage Capital Ratio amounted to 6.60% and 8.54%, respectively. In
addition, the Board has issued Risk-Based Capital Guidelines with a minimum
standard of Tier One regulatory capital to risk weighted assets of 4.00%, and
Total (Tier One plus Tier Two) regulatory capital to risk weighted assets of
8.00%. Tier Two capital consists of Pinnacle's allowance for loan losses up to a
maximum of 1.25% of risk weighted assets. The structure of Pinnacle's balance
sheet results in a Risk-Based Capital Ratio significantly in excess of the
guidelines. At December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, Pinnacle's total
risk-based capital ratio was 18.09% and 23.85%, respectively, assuming the
deduction of all goodwill and other intangibles in compliance with the
guidelines. The reduction in the total risk based capital ratio was the result
of the AFC acquisition, where certain of the assets acquired had higher risk
weightings.
 
The following table provides an analysis of the minimum capital requirements and
the excess over the minimum which Pinnacle holds as capital, as of December 31,
1995, in thousands.

</TABLE>
 
In addition, each of Pinnacle's subsidiary banks must meet similar minimum
capital requirements as prescribed by Federal and state banking regulatory
authorities. At December 31, 1995, Pinnacle and each of its subsidiary banks was
in compliance with the current capital guidelines.
 
Book value per share was $18.05 at December 31, 1995 compared to $15.62 at
December 31, 1994. During 1995, Pinnacle repurchased 45,755 shares of its common
stock at market prices in privately negotiated and market transactions as part
of its announced stock repurchase program. Dividends amounting to $1.16 per
share were paid in 1995.
 
                    LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
 
As is characteristic of the banking industry, Pinnacle's indicators of liquidity
are principally its deposit base, loan and securities portfolios. On a short
term basis, adjustments are made in these categories based on deposit
fluctuations and loan demand. Longer term, liquidity is determined by growth
objectives, rate pricing policies and the ability to borrow debt or raise
equity. In general, Pinnacle is able to meet deposit withdrawals and to fund
loan demand through earnings and the maturity or sale of securities. Pinnacle
would also be able to respond to short term cash flow needs through short term
borrowings. On a longer term basis, Pinnacle has the ability to incur debt or to
raise equity through the sale of preferred or common stock.
 
Pinnacle's cash flows are comprised of three general types. Cash flows from
operating activities are primarily Pinnacle's net income. Cash flows from
investing activities consist of loans made to and collected from customers; and
purchases, sales and maturities of securities available for sale. Cash flows
from financing activities are determined by Pinnacle's deposit base and from
Pinnacle's ability to borrow and repay debt and issue or repurchase stock. For
1995, cash flows were generated from a $34,435,000 net decrease in securities, a
$12,458,000 decrease in interest-bearing deposits, and a $15,200,000 net
increase in notes payable. Cash flow uses and needs included $5,045,000 from
earnings, an $18,044,000 decrease in deposits, a $4,800,000 decrease in
short-term borrowings, net cash of $14,800,000 to purchase AFC and $6,840,000 to
pay dividends and repurchase common stock. Pinnacle's net cash position
increased $21,108,000 with the majority of the increase in Federal funds sold.
 
Pinnacle's subsidiary banks have a relatively stable base of deposits and any
increased loan demand can be sufficiently funded without a material change in
its balance sheet. Pinnacle's corporate

strategy includes acquisitions. These acquisitions, such as the AFC acquisition,
are primarily funded with debt. Reductions of debt would be made from Pinnacle's
earnings. At December 31, 1995, Pinnacle had a line of credit of $7,000,000 with
an unaffiliated bank. Subsequent to year end, this line of credit was increased
to $10,000,000.
 
Regulatory requirements exist which influence Pinnacle's liquidity and cash flow
needs. These requirements include the maintenance of satisfactory capital ratios
on a consolidated and subsidiary bank basis, restrictions on the amount of
dividends which a subsidiary bank may pay and reserve requirements with the
Federal Reserve Bank. Based on these restrictions, at January 1, 1996, bank
subsidiaries could have declared approximately $2,715,000 in dividends without
requesting approval of the applicable Federal or State regulatory agency. In
addition, Pinnacle has made loan commitments which could result in increased
cash flow requirements for loans. Management is of the opinion that these
regulatory requirements and loan commitments will not have a significant impact
on the liquidity of Pinnacle. Management is not aware of any known trends,
events or uncertainties that will have, or that are reasonably likely to have, a
material effect on Pinnacle. Pending before Congress is a plan to recapitalize
the SAIF fund for thrifts and banks which have "Oakar" deposits (deposits
purchased from failed thrift institutions). This plan includes potential
one-time charges of $0.85 per $100 of deposits on thrift deposits and $0.66 per
$100 of "Oakar" deposits. After this recapitalization, the insurance rate would
then be the same rate as now assessed by the FDIC, which is currently at the
minimum of $2,000 per year for "well-capitalized" banks. This one-time charge,
anticipated to be levied in 1996, would cost the Pinnacle banks approximately
$1,000,000 on a before tax basis.

Management had no significant commitments for capital expenditures at December
31, 1995.

Table 6 details the Corporation's interest rate sensitive position at December
31, 1995. The table is one method of monitoring the interest rate risk of the
Corporation. Interest rate risk arises when the maturity or repricing of assets
differs significantly from the maturity or repricing of liabilities.
 
The table presents a static gap analysis which does not fully capture the true
dynamics of interest rate changes including the timing and/or the degree of
interest rate changes. The Corporation analyzes on a continuing basis the
effects that changes in interest rates would have on its interest rate sensitive
position and finds the following gap acceptable in light of its balance sheet
mix and current interest and economic environment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
A ratio greater than 1.00x of earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities
indicates that an increase in interest rates would generally result in an
increase in net income for Pinnacle. Conversely, a ratio less than 1.00x of
earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities indicates that an increase in
interest rates would generally result in a decrease in net income for Pinnacle.
Shifts in the structure of interest sensitive assets and liabilities are made by
management in response to interest rate movements. These changes would be made
primarily through the purchase and sale of securities. All securities owned by
Pinnacle are available for sale and the proceeds from a sale of these securities
could be reinvested in an alternative maturity range in order to respond to a
change in interest rates. Table 6 includes savings deposits as repricing within
the earliest period presented. Management believes that in reality these
deposits have longer term repricing characteristics because of the infrequency
of repricing and because these deposits are fairly price inelastic and bear
relatively low interest rates. If these deposits were included in the longest
term category, the cumulative ratio of earning assets to interest-bearing
liabilities would be 4.79x for 1-90 days; 3.05x for 91-180 days; and 2.19x for
181-365 days.
