(2) IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
--------------------------------------

         In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement 141, "Business Combinations"
(FAS 141) and Statement 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (FAS 142).
FAS 141 required that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be
accounted for under the purchase method and addresses the initial recognition
and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business
combination. FAS 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of
intangible assets acquired outside of a business combination and the accounting
for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. FAS
142 provides that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized and
that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives will not be amortized,
but will rather be tested at least annually for impairment. As required under
FAS 142, the Corporation adopted FAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. The
Corporation completed its evaluation for impairment of goodwill during the six
months ended June 30, 2002. No impairment was deemed necessary as a result of
the Corporation's analysis. The balance of goodwill, net of accumulated
amortization, totaled $3,218,000 at December 31, 2001. Of this amount,
$1,355,000, which had annual amortization of $226,000, will no longer be
amortized. The remaining balance of $1,863,000 relates to branch acquisitions
and, in accordance with the pronouncement, will continue to be amortized. The
amortization expense for the second quarter of 2002 was $49,000 and $98,000 for
the first six months of 2002. The amortization expense will be approximately
$98,000 for the remainder of 2002 and will be approximately $196,000 for each of
the next five years.

         The following is a summary of net income and earnings per share for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, as adjusted to remove the
amortization of goodwill:

Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." This Statement
is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
31, 2002. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect
on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               FOR THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002


         The following discussion provides information about Princeton National
Bancorp, Inc.'s ("PNBC" or the "Corporation") financial condition and results of
operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002. This discussion
should be read in conjunction with the attached consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto. Certain statements in this report constitute
"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, including,
but not limited to those statements that include the words "believes",
"expects", "anticipates", "estimates", or similar expressions. PNBC cautions
that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Such
risks and uncertainties include potential change in interest rates, competitive
factors in the financial services industry, general economic conditions, the
effect of new legislation, and other risks detailed in documents filed by the
Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

         Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $1,583,000, or basic and
diluted earnings per share of $0.48, as compared to net income of $1,309,000 in
the second quarter of 2001, or basic earnings per share of $0.40 (diluted
earnings per share of $0.39). This represents an increase of $274,000 (20.9%) or
$.08 per basic share (20.0%). For the first six months of 2002, net income was
$3,101,000, or basic earnings per share of $0.94 (diluted earnings per share of
$0.93). Net income for the first six months of 2001 was $2,788,000, or basic and
diluted earnings per share of $0.83. This represents an increase of $313,000 (or
11.2%) during the first six months of 2002 over the same period in 2001, and an
increase of $0.11 per basic share (13.3%). Net income for the first six months
of 2002 was positively impacted by the discontinuing of a portion of the
Corporation's goodwill (consistent with the provisions of FAS 142) of $114,000,
as well as an improving net interest margin and increased fee income.
Additionally, net income for the first six months of 2001 includes a gain on
sale of premises of $122,000. The annualized return on average assets and return
on average equity were 1.16% and 12.97%, respectively, for the second quarter of
2002, compared with 1.02% and 11.55% for the second quarter of 2001. For the
six-month periods, the annualized return on average assets and average equity
were 1.14% and 12.92%, respectively for 2002, compared to 1.09% and 12.23%,
respectively for 2001.

         Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $4,876,000 for
the second quarter of 2002, compared to $4,374,000 for the second quarter of
2001 (an increase of $502,000 or 11.5%). This increase is a result of both an
increase in average interest-earning assets over the past twelve months and an
improving net interest margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, average
interest-earning assets were $500.0 million compared to $474.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2001. Additionally, the net yield on
interest-earning assets (on a fully taxable equivalent basis) increased from
3.92% in the second quarter of 2001 to 4.17% in the second quarter of 2002.

         Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $9,537,000 for
the first six months of 2002, compared to $8,756,000 for the first six months of
2001 (an increase of $781,000 or 8.9%). This increase is a result of an increase
in average interest-earning assets and an improving net interest margin. For the
six months ended June 30, 2002, average interest-earning assets were $498.5
million compared to $475.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Additionally, the net yield on interest-earning assets (on a fully taxable
equivalent basis) increased from 3.93% in the first half of 2001 to 4.12% in the
first half of 2002.

         PNBC recorded a loan loss provision of $150,000 in the second quarter
of 2002 compared to $25,000 in the second quarter of 2001. For the six-month
comparable periods, PNBC recorded a loan loss provision of $375,000 in 2002 and
$75,000 in 2001. The provision expense taken each quarter is determined by the
risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, as well as the net charge-off
activity for the quarter.

         Non-interest income totaled $1,739,000 for the second quarter of 2002,
as compared to $1,651,000 during the second quarter of 2001, an increase of
$88,000 (or 5.3%). The increase is a result of other operating income increasing
by $126,000 (or 148.2%) and service charges on deposit accounts increasing
$80,000 (or 13.9%). These increases more than offset a decrease in gains from
sales of securities available- for-sale of $107,000. For the six-month periods,
non-interest income totaled $3,632,000 in 2002, compared to $3,318,000 in 2001.
This represents an increase of $314,000 (or 9.5%). Once again, increases in
service charges on deposit accounts (increase of $230,000, or 21.0%) and other
operating income (increase of $165,000, or 53.4%) were the reason for the
increase, offsetting a decrease in gains from sales of available- for-sale
securities of $162,000 (or 79.8%). The increases in other operating income both
for the three-month and six-month comparable periods are due to the investment
by the Corporation in bank-owned life insurance policies in June, 2001, the
earnings from which are included in other operating income. Additionally, PNBC
recorded a $122,000 gain from the sale of the subsidiary bank's downtown Oglesby
branch building during the first six months of 2001.

         Total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 was
$4,255,000, an increase of $144,000 (or 3.5%) from $4,111,000 in the second
quarter of 2001. The largest increase was in salaries/employee benefits, which
increased $112,000 (or 4.8%). Equipment and data processing expenses also
increased from the second quarter of 2001 to the second quarter of 2002 by
$50,000 (15.6%) and $25,000 (15.4%), respectively. These increases offset the
decrease in goodwill amortization of $57,000 from the second quarter of 2001 as
compared to the second quarter of 2002. Year-to-date non-interest expenses for
2002 of $8,490,000 have increased $365,000 (or 4.5%) from the same period in
2001, but are at expected levels. The most notable increases are again in
salaries/employee benefits ($303,000 or 6.6%), equipment expense ($97,000 or
15.4%), and data processing ($58,000 or 18.5%), which were offset by the
decrease in goodwill amortization of $114,000 (or 54.3%).

INCOME TAXES
------------

         Income tax expense totaled $627,000 for the second quarter of 2002, as
compared to $580,000 for the second quarter of 2001. For the first six months of
2002, income tax expenses were $1,203,000 compared to $1,086,000 for the first
six months of 2001. Additionally, PNBC also recognized a tax benefit of
approximately $90,000 from the previously mentioned sale of the Oglesby facility
in the first quarter of 2001. As a result, the effective tax rate was 28.0% for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001.


ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------------------

         Total assets at June 30, 2002 increased to $564,882,000 from
$555,325,000 at December 31, 2001 (an increase of $9.6 million or 1.7%). Total
deposits at June 30, 2002 increased to $489,229,000 from $481,738,000 from
December 31, 2001 (an increase of $7.5 million or 1.6%). In comparing categories
of deposits at June 30, 2002 to the December 31, 2001 totals, three categories
had increasing balances: interest- bearing demand deposits (increase of $13.1
million or 11.2%), time deposits (increase of $3.5 million or 1.4%), and savings
deposits (increase of $1.4 million or 2.6%), while demand deposits decreased by
$10.4 million (or 17.9%). Borrowings, consisting of customer repurchase
agreements, notes payable, treasury, tax, and loan ("TT&L") deposits, federal
funds purchased, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, decreased from $20,595,000
at December 31, 2001 to $19,053,000 at June 30, 2002 (decrease of $1.5 million
or 8.1%). Investments totaled $160,079,000 at June 30, 2002, compared to
$144,660,000 at December 31, 2001 (an increase of $15.4 million or 10.7%).

         Loan demand increased during the second quarter of 2002. Loan balances,
net of unearned interest, increased to $350,346,000 at June 30, 2002, compared
to $341,889,000 at December 31, 2001 (an increase of $8.5 million or 2.5%).
Non-performing loans totaled $6,872,000 or 1.96% of net loans at June 30, 2002,
as compared to $5,718,000 or 1.72% of net loans at December 31, 2001.

         For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the subsidiary bank charged off
$289,000 of loans and had recoveries of $339,000, compared to charge-offs of
$461,000 and recoveries of $129,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2001.
The allowance for loan losses is based on factors that include the overall
composition of the loan portfolio, types of loans, past loss experience, loan
delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, and such other
factors that, in management's reasonable judgment, warrant consideration. The
adequacy of the allowance is monitored monthly. At June 30, 2002, the allowance
was $2,725,000 which is 39.7% of non-performing loans and 0.78% of total loans,
compared with $2,300,000 which was 40.2% of non-performing loans and 0.67% of
total loans at December 31, 2001.

         At June 30, 2002, impaired loans totaled $5,582,000 compared to
$2,014,000 at December 31, 2001. Loans 90 days or more past due and still
accruing interest at June 30, 2002 were $10,000, compared to $42,000 at December
31, 2001. Although the balances of non-performing and impaired loans have
increased from the level of prior years, the total is concentrated in a few
credits that management believes will not result in any losses to the
Corporation. There is a specific loan loss reserve of $100,000 established for
an impaired loan as of June 30, 2002, while there were no specific loan loss
reserves established for impaired loans as of December 31, 2001. Subsequent to
June 30, 2002, one of the largest non-performing loans was transferred to other
real estate owned. PNBC's management analyzes the allowance for loan losses
monthly and believes the current level of allowance is adequate to meet probable
losses as of June 30, 2002.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
-----------------

         Federal regulations require all financial institutions to evaluate
capital adequacy by the risk-based capital method, which makes capital
requirements more sensitive to the differences in the level of risk assets. At
June 30, 2002 total risk-based capital of PNBC was 12.79%, compared to 12.29% at
December 31, 2001. The Tier 1 capital ratio increased from 8.10% at December 31,
2001, to 8.38% at June 30, 2002. Total stockholders' equity to total assets at
June 30, 2002 increased to 9.03% from 8.55% at December 31, 2001.


LIQUIDITY
---------

         Liquidity is measured by a financial institution's ability to raise
funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of assets.
Additional sources of liquidity include cash flow from the repayment of loans.
Major uses of cash include the origination of loans and purchase of investment
securities. Cash flows used for investing and financing activities, offset by
those provided by operating activities, resulted in a net decrease in cash and
cash equivalents of $13,706,000 from December 31, 2001 to June 30, 2002. This
decrease was due to a net increase in loans and investments, offset by a net
increase in deposits. For more detailed information, see PNBC's Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-----------------

         There are various claims pending against PNBC's subsidiary bank,
arising in the normal course of business. Management believes, based upon
consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities arising from these
proceedings, if any, will not be material to PNBC's financial condition.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
----------------------------------------------------------

         There has been no material change in market risk since December 31,
2001, as reported in PNBC's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


EFFECTS OF INFLATION
--------------------

         The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated
financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices
within the banking industry which require the measurement of financial condition
and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the
changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a
financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a
more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the
effects of general levels of inflation.
