ITEM 12. - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE ADDED BY AMENDMENT TO ITEM 12:

TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ASSOCIATES

During 2000, some of the Directors and executive officers of Illini (and members
of their immediate families and corporations, organizations and trusts with
which these individuals are associated) have been indebted to one or more of the
subsidiary banks in amounts of $60,000 or more. All such loans were made in the
ordinary course of business, did not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features, and were made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral
requirements, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable loan
transactions with unaffiliated persons. No such loan was classified by any of
the subsidiary banks as of December 31, 2000 as a non-accrual, past due,
restructured or potential problem loan.

Outside of normal customer relations, none of the Directors, executive officers,
or 5% shareholders of Illini (or members of their immediate families) currently
maintains or has maintained during 2000 any significant business or personal
relationship with Illini or any of its subsidiaries other than such as might
arise by virtue of such person's ownership interest in, or position with,
Illini.
