ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Corus Bankshares, Inc. ("Corus"), incorporated in Minnesota in 1958, is a bank
holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Corus
provides consumer and corporate banking products and services through its wholly
owned banking subsidiary, Corus Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"). Corus' other activities
include investments in the common stocks of financial industry companies as well
as participations in certain of the Bank's larger commercial real estate loans.

During 2000 and 2001, the Bank restructured its business, focusing on two main
businesses and one smaller business. The two main business activities for Corus
are commercial real estate lending and deposit gathering. The third, and
smaller, business is servicing the check cashing industry.

Commercial real estate lending is focused primarily on loans secured by office,
condominium, hotel, and residential apartment projects. Loan amounts often
approach the Bank's legal lending limit and are secured by properties throughout
the United States. As of December 31, 2002, 82% of outstanding loan balances
plus unfunded commitments were secured by property outside of Illinois providing
the geographic diversification that management believes is very important in the
commercial real estate business.

With respect to retail banking, the Bank has 11 branches in the Chicago
metropolitan area. Through these branches, Corus offers general banking services
such as checking, savings, money market, and time deposit accounts as well as
safe deposit boxes and a variety of additional services.

Finally, Corus provides clearing, depository, and credit services to more than
525 check cashing industry locations in the Chicago area and an additional 20 in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The restructuring referred to above included the sale in October 2000 of Corus'
trust and investment management services business. In addition, Corus sold the
majority of its student loans, over $460 million in loans, in a two-part
transaction completed in April 2001. Corus also decided to cease originating any
new residential first mortgage or home equity loans. The existing portfolio will
continue to be serviced by Corus. Finally, Corus sold essentially all of its
medical finance portfolio.

COMPETITION

All of Corus' principal business activities are highly competitive. Corus
competes actively with other financial services providers offering a wide array
of financial products and services. The competitors include other commercial
banks, savings banks, credit unions, brokerage firms, finance companies,
insurance companies, and mutual funds. Competition is generally in the form of
interest rates and points charged on loans, interest rates paid on deposits,
service charges, banking hours and locations including ATM access, and other
service-related products.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2002, Corus employed a total of 475 full-time equivalent
persons, consisting of 108 executives, management and supervisory personnel and
367 clerical and secretarial employees.


                                       1

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

Corus is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended ("the Act"), and is registered as such with the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("the Federal Reserve Board"). The Act
requires every bank holding company to obtain prior approval of the Federal
Reserve Board before acquiring, merging with or consolidating into another bank
holding company, acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank, or
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of 5% or more of the voting
shares of any bank or bank holding company.

The Act also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of 5% or more of the voting
shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in any business
other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks, or furnishing
services to banks and their subsidiaries. However, Corus may engage in and own
shares of companies engaged in certain businesses determined by the Federal
Reserve Board to be closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks.

The Illinois Bank Holding Company Act of 1957 ("the Illinois Act"), as amended,
permits Corus to acquire banks located anywhere in Illinois. Other amendments of
the Illinois Act authorize combinations between banks and bank holding companies
located in Illinois and banks and bank holding companies located in another
state if that other state has passed legislation granting similar privileges to
Illinois banks and bank holding companies. Effective December 1, 1990, holding
companies from any state were permitted to acquire Illinois banks and bank
holding companies if the other state allows Illinois bank holding companies the
same privilege. In June 1993, the Illinois Act was amended to eliminate all
branch restrictions. Accordingly, banks located in Illinois are permitted to
establish branches anywhere in the state.

Corus' subsidiary bank is a national bank and, as such, is supervised, examined
and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency under the
National Bank Act. Since a national bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve
System and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"), the subsidiary bank is also subject to the applicable provisions of
the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, and, in certain
respects, to state laws applicable to financial institutions.

The subsidiary bank is subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments. Under the
FDIC's risk-based assessment system, the assessment rate is based on
classification of a depository institution in one of nine risk assessment
categories. Such classification is based upon the institution's capital level
and upon certain supervisory evaluations of the institution by its primary
regulator. The subsidiary bank's FDIC deposit insurance cost for 2003 will be
approximately 0.02% of deposits.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
initiated new intense regulation for the financial services industry. FDICIA
made significant changes in the legal environment for insured banks, including
reductions in insurance coverage for certain types of deposits, increases in
consumer-oriented requirements, and substantial revisions in the supervision,
examination, and audit processes. FDICIA also required new reporting by banks
and mandated adoption of new regulations concerning capital, liquidity, internal
controls, safety and soundness, and prompt corrective action.


                                       2

Capital Adequacy

The Federal Reserve Board established risk-based capital guidelines that require
bank holding companies to maintain minimum capital ratios. The main objective of
the risk-based capital requirements is to provide a fair and consistent
framework for comparing capital positions of all banking institutions. Under
these guidelines, capital consists of two components, core capital elements
(Tier 1 capital) and supplementary capital elements (Tier 2 capital). Assets and
off-balance-sheet items are assigned broad risk categories. The aggregate dollar
value of each category is multiplied by a risk weight associated with that
category.

In 1992, the FDIC adopted new regulations that defined five capital categories
for purposes of implementing the requirements under FDICIA. The five capital
categories, which range from "well-capitalized" to "critically
under-capitalized", are based on the level of risk-based capital measures. The
minimum risk-based capital ratios for Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and
total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets to be classified as
well-capitalized are 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively. At December 31, 2002, Corus'
Tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 16.8% and 18.9%,
respectively.

In addition, bank regulatory agencies established a leverage ratio to supplement
the risk-based capital guidelines. The leverage ratio is intended to ensure that
adequate capital is maintained against risks other than credit risk. A minimum
required ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3.0% is required for the
highest quality bank holding companies that are not anticipating or experiencing
significant growth. All other banking institutions must maintain a leverage
ratio of 4.0% to 5.0% depending upon an institution's particular risk profile.
At December 31, 2002, Corus' leverage ratio was 17.3%.

Interstate Banking

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Bank and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("IBBA")
permits bank holding companies that are adequately capitalized and managed to
acquire banks located in any other state after September 29, 1995, subject to
certain statewide and nationwide deposit concentration limits. States may
prohibit acquisition of banks that have not been in existence for at least five
years.

The interstate branching by merger provisions were effective on June 1, 1997,
unless a state took legislative action prior to that date. The long-term effects
on Corus of such changes in interstate banking and branching laws cannot be
predicted. However, it is likely that there will be increased competition from
national and regional banking firms headquartered outside of Illinois.

Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999

The enactment of the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 ("the GLB act") repeals
sections 20 and 32 of the Banking Act of 1933 ("the Act"), allowing new
opportunities for banks, other depository institutions, insurance companies, and
securities firms to enter into combinations that permit a single financial
services organization to offer customers a more complete array of financial
products and services. To further this goal, the GLB Act amended section 4 of
the Act providing a new regulatory framework for regulation through the
financial holding company ("FHC"), which has as its umbrella regulator the
Federal Reserve Board. Functional regulation of the FHC's separately regulated
subsidiaries will be conducted by their primary functional regulator. Pursuant
to the GLB Act, bank holding companies, subsidiary depository institutions
thereof, and foreign banks electing to qualify as a FHC must be "well managed,"
"well capitalized," and at least rated satisfactory under the Community


                                       3
<PAGE>

Reinvestment Act in order for them to engage in new financial activities. The
GLB Act also provides a federal right to privacy of non-public personal
information of individual customers.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") was
passed into law. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to all companies required to
file periodic reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and contains a number of significant changes relating to the
responsibilities of directors, officers and auditors as well as reporting and
governance obligations. While some provisions became effective immediately, most
require the SEC to issue official guidance, generally no later than April 26,
2003.

ACCESS TO REPORTS

current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports are made

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Corus utilizes the building facilities of its Irving Park branch, which is
located at 3959 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, for its executive offices.
Corus owns the property and buildings on which nine of the eleven bank branches
are located. The other two branch facilities are leased from unrelated parties.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Corus is involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings involving matters
that arose in the ordinary course of business. The consequences of these
proceedings are not presently determinable but, in the opinion of management,
these proceedings will not have a material effect on the results of operations,
financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

Net loans past due 90 days or more .        0.09%         0.29%         0.24%         0.56%         0.75%

</TABLE>

Guaranteed student loans that are greater than 90 days past due are classified
as performing due to the principal and accrued interest on such loans being
guaranteed by individual state or private non-profit agencies.

The interest income forgone on nonaccrual loans totaled $1.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002.

Potential Problem Loans

In addition to those loans disclosed under the preceding "Nonaccrual, Past Due,
and Restructured Loans" section, management identified, through their problem
loan identification system, certain other loans in the portfolio where known
information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to
have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the
present loan repayment terms and which may result in future disclosure of such
loans as nonaccrual, past due, or restructured. As of December 31, 2002, the
principal amount of these loans was $98.4 million. This amount generally
includes commercial real estate loans that were classified as either Special
Mention or Substandard for regulatory purposes and residential real estate loans
that are either in bankruptcy or in process of foreclosure.

The unallocated balance is based on management's review of overall factors
affecting the determination of probable losses inherent in the portfolio, which
may not be captured, or captured completely, by the mechanical application of
historical loss ratios and other factors used in determining the allocated
inherent reserve. This portion of the reserve analysis involves the exercise of
judgment and reflects all appropriate considerations, including management's
view that the reserve should have a margin that recognizes the imprecision
inherent in the process of estimating expected credit losses.

While Corus generally prefers to initiate and fund its own loans without
participations either bought or sold, there are limited instances where Corus
has either purchased or sold interests in certain loans. The following table

As previously disclosed, on June 4, 2002, the Audit Committee of Corus
Bankshares, Inc. ("Corus") recommended and Corus' Board of Directors approved
the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as independent accountants of Corus for
fiscal 2002. This action caused the dismissal of Arthur Andersen LLP
("Andersen") as the independent accountants of Corus.

For the two years ended December 31, 2001, Andersen's reports on the financial
statements did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor
were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.

For the two years ended December 31, 2001 and from December 31, 2001 through the
effective date of the dismissal, there were no disagreements between Andersen
and Corus on any matters of accounting principle or practice, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

Corus requested that Andersen furnish a letter addressed to the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Andersen agrees with the
preceding statements. Andersen's letter dated June 4, 2002, is attached as
Exhibit 16 to the Form 8-K filing dated June 6, 2002.
