Item 1.  Business

                                   THE COMPANY

Centrue Financial Corporation

Centrue Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a bank holding company
incorporated in Delaware in 1982 for the purpose of becoming a holding company
registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act").
The Company is a publicly traded banking company with assets of $1.3 billion at
year-end 2006 and is headquartered in Ottawa, Illinois. On November 13, 2006,
the Company (formerly known as UnionBancorp, Inc. now known as Centrue Financial
Corporation) merged with Centrue Financial Corporation (former Centrue), parent
of Centrue Bank with the Company being the surviving entity in the merger.
Operating results of former Centrue are included in the consolidated financial
statements since the date of the acquisition. As a result of this merger, the
Company expects to further solidify its market share in the northern and central
Illinois markets, expand its customer base to enhance deposit fee income,
provide an opportunity to market additional products and services to new
customers and reduce operating costs through economies of scale.

The Company operates one wholly owned subsidiary: Centrue Bank (the "Bank"),
employing 398 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2006.

The Company has responsibility for the overall conduct, direction, and
performance of its subsidiary. The Company provides various services,
establishes Company-wide policies and procedures, and provides other resources
as needed, including capital.

Subsidiary

At December 31, 2006, the Bank had $1.3 billion in total assets, $1.0 billion in
total deposits, and 35 banking offices located in markets extending from the far
western and southern suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across Central and
Northern Illinois down to the metropolitan St. Louis area.

The Bank is engaged in commercial and retail banking and offers a broad range of
lending, depository, and related financial services, including accepting
deposits; commercial and industrial, consumer, and real estate lending; trust
and asset management services; and other banking services tailored for consumer,
commercial and industrial, and public or governmental customers.

Competition

The Company's market area is highly competitive with numerous commercial banks,
savings and loan associations and credit unions. In addition, financial
institutions, based in surrounding communities and in the southern and western
metro area of Chicago and the suburban metro area of St. Louis, actively compete
for customers within the Company's market area. The Company also faces
competition from finance companies, insurance companies, mortgage companies,
securities brokerage firms, money market funds, loan production offices and
other providers of financial services.

The Company competes for loans principally through the range and quality of the
services it provides and through competitive interest rates and loan fees. The
Company believes that its long-standing presence in the communities it serves
and personal service philosophy enhance its ability to compete favorably in
attracting and retaining individual and business customers. The Company actively
solicits deposit-related customers and competes for deposits by offering

                                       1.

customers personal attention, professional service and competitive interest
rates.

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, effective March 2000, securities firms
and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding companies may
acquire banks and other financial institutions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and
future action stemming from the Act, is expected to continue to significantly
change the competitive environment in which the Company and Centrue Bank conduct
business. The financial services industry is also likely to become more
competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide
financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of
depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of
funds between parties.

                           SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated
under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings performance of
the Company can be affected not only by management decisions and general
economic conditions, but also by the requirements of applicable state and
federal statutes and regulations and the policies of various governmental
regulatory authorities, including the Illinois Department of Financial and
Professional Regulation (the "DFPR"), the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"), the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing
authorities and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The effect
of applicable statutes, regulations and regulatory policies can be significant,
and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty.

Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial
institutions, such as the Company and its subsidiary, regulate, among other
things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital
levels relative to operations, the nature and amount of collateral for loans,
the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system
of supervision and regulation applicable to the Company and its subsidiary
establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is
intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance funds and
the depositors, rather than the shareholders, of financial institutions.

The following is a summary of the material elements of the regulatory framework
that applies to the Company and its subsidiaries. It does not describe all of
the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that apply to the Company and
its subsidiaries, nor does it restate all of the requirements of the statutes,
regulations and regulatory policies that are described. As such, the following
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable statutes,
regulations and regulatory policies. Any change in applicable law, regulations
or regulatory policies may have a material effect on the business of the Company
and its subsidiaries.

The Company

General. The Company, as the sole stockholder of Centrue Bank, is a bank holding
company. As a bank holding company, the Company is registered with, and is
subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company
Act, as amended (the "BHCA"). In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, the
Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to Centrue Bank and
to commit resources to support Centrue Bank in circumstances where the Company
might not do so absent such policy. Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to

                                       2.

periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and is required to file with the
Federal Reserve periodic reports of operations and such additional information
as the Federal Reserve may require. The Company is also subject to regulation by
the DFPR under the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act, as amended.

Investments and Activities. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain
Federal Reserve approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly,
ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding
company if, after the acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of the
shares of the other bank or bank holding company (unless it already owns or
controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all
of the assets of another bank; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another
bank holding company. Subject to certain conditions (including certain deposit
concentration limits established by the BHCA), the Federal Reserve may allow a
bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of the United States
without regard to whether the acquisition is prohibited by the law of the state
in which the target bank is located. In approving interstate acquisitions,
however, the Federal Reserve is required to give effect to applicable state law
limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the
acquiring bank holding company and its insured depository institution affiliates
in the state in which the target bank is located (provided that those limits do
not discriminate against out-of-state depository institutions or their holding
companies) and state laws which require that the target bank have been in
existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) before being
acquired by an out-of-state bank holding company.

The BHCA also generally prohibits the Company from acquiring direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% 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. This general prohibition is subject to a number of exceptions. The
principal exception allows bank holding companies to engage in, and to own
shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve
to be "so closely related to banking ... as to be a proper incident thereto."
Under current regulations of the Federal Reserve, the Company is permitted to
engage in a variety of banking-related businesses, including the operation of a
thrift, consumer finance or equipment leasing business, the operation of a
computer service bureau (including software development), and the operation of
mortgage banking and brokerage businesses. The BHCA generally does not place
territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of non-bank subsidiaries of
bank holding companies.

In November, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act") was signed into law.
Under the GLB Act, bank holding companies that meet certain standards and elect
to become "financial holding companies" are permitted to engage in a wider range
of activities than those permitted for bank holding companies, including
securities and insurance activities. Specifically, a bank holding company that
elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that the
Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury,
determines is (i) financial in nature or incidental thereto, or (ii)
complementary to any such financial-in-nature activity, provided that such
complementary activity does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and
soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. A bank
holding company may elect to become a financial holding company only if each of
its depository institution subsidiaries is well-capitalized, well-managed, and
has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of "satisfactory" or better at their
most recent examination.

The GLB Act specifies many activities that are financial in nature, including
lending, exchanging, transferring, investing for others, or safeguarding money
or securities; underwriting and selling insurance; providing financial,
investment or economic advisory services; underwriting, dealing in, or making a

                                       3.

market in securities; and those activities currently permitted for bank holding
companies that are so closely related to banking or managing or controlling
banks, as to be a proper incident thereto.

The GLB Act changed federal laws to facilitate affiliation between banks and
entities engaged in securities and insurance activities. The law also
established a system of functional regulation under which banking activities,
securities activities, and insurance activities conducted by financial holding
companies and their subsidiaries and affiliates will be separately regulated by
banking, securities, and insurance regulators, respectively.

Federal law also prohibits any person or company from acquiring "control" of a
bank or bank holding company without prior notice to the appropriate federal
bank regulator. "Control" is defined in certain cases as the acquisition of 10%
or more of the outstanding shares of a bank or bank holding company.

Capital Requirements. Bank holding companies are required to maintain minimum
levels of capital in accordance with Federal Reserve capital adequacy
guidelines. If capital falls below minimum guideline levels, a bank holding
company, among other things, may be denied approval to acquire or establish
additional banks or non-bank businesses.

The Federal Reserve's capital guidelines establish the following minimum
regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies: a risk-based
requirement expressed as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets, and a
leverage requirement expressed as a percentage of total assets. The risk-based
requirement consists of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted
assets of 8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. The leverage
requirement consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3%
for the most highly rated companies, with a minimum requirement of 4% for all
others. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital consists
primarily of permanent stockholders' equity less intangible assets (other than
certain mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships).
Total capital consists primarily of Tier 1 capital plus certain other debt and
equity instruments which do not qualify as Tier 1 capital and a portion of the
company's allowance for loan and lease losses.

The risk-based and leverage standards described above are minimum requirements.
Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular
circumstances or by the risk profiles of individual banking organizations. For
example, the Federal Reserve's capital guidelines contemplate that additional
capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things,
interest rate risk, or the risks posed by concentrations of credit,
nontraditional activities or securities trading activities. Further, any banking
organization experiencing or anticipating significant growth would be expected
to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions (i.e., Tier 1
capital less all intangible assets), well above the minimum levels.

As of December 31, 2006, the Company had regulatory capital as follows:

                               Risk-Based                  Leverage
                             Capital Ratio               Capital Ratio
                             -------------               -------------
Company                          11.9%                       7.9%

The risk-based capital ratio and the leverage capital ratio are each 3.9% in
excess of the Federal Reserve's minimum requirements. See Note 16 in the Notes
in Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

                                       4.

Dividends. The Company is organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the "DGCL"). The DGCL allows the Company to pay dividends only out of its
surplus (as defined and computed in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL)
or if the Company has no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal
year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

Additionally, the Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement with regard to
the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. The policy statement
provides that a bank holding company should not pay cash dividends which exceed
its net income or which can only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding
company's financial health, such as by borrowing. The Federal Reserve also
possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank
subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound
practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these
powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank
holding companies.

Federal Securities Regulation. The Company's common stock is registered with the
SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Consequently, the Company is
subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other
restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.

The SEC and the NASDAQ have adopted regulations and policies under the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that will apply to Centrue Financial Corporation as a
registered company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a
NASQDAQ-traded company. The stated goals of these Sarbanes-Oxley requirements
are to increase corporate responsibility, provide for enhanced penalties for
accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to
protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate
disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The SEC and NASDAQ
Sarbanes-Oxley-related regulations and policies include very specific additional
disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted in response to public concerns
regarding corporate accountability in connection with recent accounting
scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate
responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing
improprieties at publicly traded companies, and to protect investors by
improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the
securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that
file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements
and new corporate governance rules requiring the SEC and securities exchanges to
adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related
rules, and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters
traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the
accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship
between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and
its committees. Recently, the SEC created a committee to evaluate Sarbanes-Oxley
issues that may affect small public companies. Specifically being reviewed are
the requirements under Sarbanes-Oxley section 404, which requires significant
oversight of a public company's internal control over the financial statements.
On December 15, 2006 the SEC issued a final rule to further extend the
Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance dates for nonaccelerated filers. The final
rule now requires nonaccelerated filers to provide management's report on
internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year ending on or
after December 15, 2007. The rule further extends the deadline for the external
auditor's attestation report on internal control over financial reporting to be

                                       5.

required for the first year ending on or after December 15, 2008. The Company
cannot accurately predict what additional expenses may be incurred in complying
with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Centrue Bank

Centrue Bank is an Illinois-chartered bank, the deposit accounts of which are
insured by the FDIC. Centrue Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System
("member bank"). As an Illinois-chartered, FDIC-insured member bank, Centrue
Bank is subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement
requirements of the DFPR, as the chartering authority for Illinois banks, the
Federal Reserve, as the primary federal regulator of member banks, and the FDIC,
as administrator of deposit insurance.

Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured institution, Centrue Bank is required to
pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC.

Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the "FDIRA") in
2006, the previously separate deposit insurance funds for banks and savings
associations were merged into a single deposit insurance fund administered by
the FDIC. Centrue Bank's deposits are insured up to applicable limitations by
that deposit insurance fund.

Following the adoption of the FDIRA, the FDIC has the opportunity, through its
rulemaking authority, to better price deposit insurance for risk than was
previously authorized. The FDIC adopted regulations effective January 1, 2007
that create a new system of risk-based assessments, set assessments rates
beginning January 1, 2007 and establish a new system of risk-based assessments.
Under the new regulations, there are four risk categories, and each insured
institution will be assigned to a risk category based on capital levels and
supervisory ratings. Well-capitalized institutions with CAMELS composite ratings
of 1 or 2 will be placed in Risk Category I while other institutions will be
placed in Risk Categories II, III or IV depending on their capital levels and
CAMEL composite ratings. The new regulations also established assessment rates
beginning January 1, 2007, with the highest rated institutions, those in Risk
Category I, paying premiums of between .05% and .07% of deposits and the lowest
rated institutions, those in Risk Category IV, paying premiums of .43% of
deposits. The assessment rates may be changed by the FDIC as necessary to
maintain the insurance fund at the reserve ratio designated by the FDIC, which
currently is 1.25% of insured deposits. Deposit insurance assessments will be
collected for a quarter, except for institutions with $1 billion or more in
assets, such as Centrue Bank, and any institution that becomes insured on or
after January 1, 2007 which will have their assessment base determined using
average daily balances of insured deposits.

In 2006, the FDIC adopted a final rule allocating a one-time assessment credit
among insured financial institutions. This credit may be used to offset deposit
insurance assessments (not to include FICO assessments) beginning in 2007.

The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository
institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution (i)
has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, (ii) is in an unsafe
or unsound condition to continue operations or (iii) has violated any applicable
law, regulation, order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or written
agreement with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance

aware of any activity or condition that could result in termination of the
deposit insurance of Centrue Bank.

FICO Assessments. FDIC insured institutions are also subject to assessments to
cover interest payments due on the outstanding obligations of the Financing
Corporation ("FICO"). FICO was created in 1987 to finance the recapitalization
of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. These FICO assessments
are in addition to amounts assessed by the FDIC for deposit insurance until the
final maturity of the outstanding FICO obligations in 2019. FDIC insured
institutions will share the cost of the interest on the FICO bonds on a pro rata
basis. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the FICO assessment rate for
both SAIF and BIF members ranged between approximately 0.0124% of deposits and
approximately 0.0132% of deposits. During the year ended December 31, 2006,
Centrue Bank paid FICO assessments totaling $66,333. For the first quarter of
2007, the rate established by the FDIC for the FICO assessment is 0.0122% of
deposits.

Supervisory Assessments. All Illinois banks are required to pay supervisory
assessments to the DFPR to fund the operations of the DFPR. The amount of the
assessment is calculated based on the institution's total assets, including
consolidated subsidiaries, as reported to the DFPR. During the year ended
December 31, 2006, Centrue Bank paid supervisory assessments to the DFPR
totaling $150,817.

Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has established the following minimum
capital standards for state-chartered Federal Reserve System member banks, such
as Centrue Bank: a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of Tier 1
capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with a minimum
requirement of at least 4% for all others, and a risk-based capital requirement
consisting of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of
8%, at least one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital. For purposes of these
capital standards, Tier 1 capital and total capital consist of substantially the
same components as Tier 1 capital and total capital under the Federal Reserve's
capital guidelines for bank holding companies (see "--The Company--Capital
Requirements").

The capital requirements described above are minimum requirements. Higher
capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or
risk profiles of individual institutions. For example, the regulations of the
Federal Reserve provide that additional capital may be required to take adequate
account of, among other things, interest rate risk or the risks posed by
concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading
activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2006, Centrue Bank was not required by the
Federal Reserve to increase its capital to an amount in excess of the minimum
regulatory requirement. As of December 31, 2006, Centrue Bank as follows:

                                       Risk-Based              Leverage
                                      Capital Ratio          Capital Ratio
                                      -------------          -------------
Centrue Bank                              12.4%                  8.3%

The risk-based capital ratio and the leverage capital ratio are 4.4% and 4.3% in
excess of the Federal Reserve's minimum requirements. See Note 16 in the Notes
in Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Federal law provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take
prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized
institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the
institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically
undercapitalized," in each case as defined by regulation. Depending upon the
capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators' corrective
powers include: requiring the institution to submit a capital restoration plan;
limiting the institution's asset growth and restricting its activities;
requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including
additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting transactions between the
institution and its affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution
may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution;
requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting
the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the
institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal
or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, appointing a receiver for the
institution. As of December 31, 2006, Centrue Bank was considered well
capitalized.

Additionally, institutions insured by the FDIC may be liable for any loss
incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection
with the default of commonly controlled FDIC insured depository institutions or
any assistance provided by the FDIC to commonly controlled FDIC insured
depository institutions in danger of default.

Dividends. Under the Illinois Banking Act, Illinois-chartered banks may not pay
dividends in excess of their net profits then on hand, after deducting losses
and bad debts. The Federal Reserve Act also imposes limitations on the amount of
dividends that may be paid by state member banks, such as Centrue Bank.
Generally, a member bank may pay dividends out of its undivided profits, in such
amounts and at such times as the bank's board of directors deems prudent.
Without prior Federal Reserve approval, however, a state member bank may not pay
dividends in any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed such bank's
calendar year-to-date net income plus such bank's retained net income for the
two preceding calendar years.

The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding company is
affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable
capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a financial institution
generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof,
the institution would be undercapitalized. As described above, Centrue Bank
exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines and had
approximately $1.95 million available to be paid as dividends to the Company as
of December 31, 2006. Notwithstanding the availability of funds for dividends,
however, the Federal Reserve may prohibit the payment of any dividends by
Centrue Bank if the Federal Reserve determines such payment would constitute an
unsafe or unsound practice.

Insider Transactions. Centrue Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by
federal law on extensions of credit to the Company, on investments in the stock
or other securities of the Company and the acceptance of the stock or other
securities of the Company as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and
reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by Centrue Bank
to its directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company, to
principal stockholders of the Company, and to "related interests" of such
directors, officers and principal stockholders. In addition, federal law and
regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or
officer of the Company or a principal stockholder of the Company may obtain
credit from the banks with which Centrue Bank maintains a correspondent
relationship.

Safety and Soundness Standards. The federal banking agencies have adopted
guidelines which establish operational and managerial standards to promote the
safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. The
guidelines set forth standards for internal controls, information systems,
internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate
exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and
earnings.

In general, the safety and soundness guidelines prescribe the goals to be
achieved in each area, and each institution is responsible for establishing its
own procedures to achieve those goals. If an institution fails to comply with
any of the standards set forth in the guidelines, the institution's primary
federal regulator may require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and
maintaining compliance. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable
compliance plan, or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan
that has been accepted by its primary federal regulator, the regulator is
required to issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency.
Until the deficiency cited in the regulator's order is cured, the regulator may
restrict the institution's rate of growth, require the institution to increase
its capital, restrict the rates the institution pays on deposits or require the
institution to take any action the regulator deems appropriate under the
circumstances. Noncompliance with the standards established by the safety and
soundness guidelines may also constitute grounds for other enforcement action by
the federal banking regulators, including cease and desist orders and civil
money penalty assessments.

Branching Authority. Illinois banks, such as Centrue Bank, have the authority
under Illinois law to establish branches anywhere in the State of Illinois,
subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994
(the "Riegle-Neal Act"), both state and national banks are allowed to establish
interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks, subject to
certain conditions, including certain limitations on the aggregate amount of
deposits that may be held by the surviving bank and all of its insured
depository institution affiliates. Illinois law permits interstate mergers,
subject to certain conditions, including a prohibition against interstate
mergers involving an Illinois bank that has been in existence and continuous
operation for fewer than five years.

The establishment of new interstate branches or the acquisition of individual
branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an
out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed by the Riegle-Neal Act only if
specifically authorized by state law. Certain states permit out-of-state banks
to establish de novo branches or acquire branches from another bank although the
laws of some of these states require a reciprocal provision under the law of the
state where the bank establishing or acquiring the branch is chartered. Illinois
law permits out-of-state banks to establish branches in Illinois in this manner,
and Illinois-chartered banks may branch into other states in this manner if the
law of the state in which the branch will be established or acquired so
authorizes even if the law of such state requires a reciprocal provision under
Illinois law.

State Bank Activities. Under federal law and FDIC regulations, FDIC insured
state banks are prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from making or
retaining equity investments of a type, or in an amount, that are not
permissible for a national bank. Federal law and FDIC regulations also prohibit
FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions,
from engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national
bank or its subsidiary, respectively, unless the bank meets, and continues to
meet, its minimum regulatory capital requirements and the FDIC determines the
activity would not pose a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund of
which the bank is a member.

CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
SECRURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The GLB Act also authorizes insured state banks to engage in financial
activities, through subsidiaries, similar to the activities permitted for
financial holding companies. If a state bank wants to establish a subsidiary
engaged in financial activities, it must meet certain criteria, including that
it and all of its affiliated insured depository institutions are
well-capitalized and have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least
"satisfactory" and that it is well-managed. There are capital deduction and
financial statement requirements and financial and operational safeguards that
apply to subsidiaries engaged in financial activities. Such a subsidiary is
considered to be an affiliate of the bank and there are limitations on certain
transactions between a bank and a subsidiary engaged in financial activities of
the same type that apply to transactions with a bank's holding company and its
subsidiaries.

Reserve Requirement. Federal Reserve regulations, as presently in effect,
require depository institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves
against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking
accounts), as follows:

         o        for the first $8.5 million of net transaction accounts, there
                  is no reserve;

         o        for net transaction accounts totaling over $8.5 million and up
                  to and including $45.8 million, a reserve of 3%; and

         o        for net transaction accounts totaling in excess of $45.8
                  million, a reserve requirement of $1.119 million plus 10%
                  against that portion of the total transaction accounts greater
                  than $45.8 million

The dollar amounts and percentages reported here are all subject to adjustment
by the Federal Reserve. The effect of maintaining the required non-interest
earning reserves is to reduce Centrue Bank's interest earning assets.

Wealth Management Division

Centrue Bank, through its wealth management division, conducts a full service
trust business in the State of Illinois, pursuant to a certificate of authority
issued to the Commissioner under the Illinois Corporate Fiduciaries Act (the
"Fiduciaries Act"). The wealth management division is subject to periodic
examination by the DFPR and the DFPR has the authority to take action against it
to enforce compliance with the laws applicable to its operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in the Company's common stock is subject to risks inherent to the
Company's business. The material risk and uncertainties that management believes
affect the Company are described below. Before making an investment decision,
you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below,
together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference
in this report. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only
ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties that management is
not aware of or focused on or that management currently deems immaterial may
also impair the Company's business operations. This report is qualified in its
entirety by these risk factors. See also, "Special Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements."

If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company's financial condition
and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this
were to happen, the value of the Company's common stock could decline
significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

References to "we," "us," and "our" in this section refer to the Company and its
subsidiary, unless otherwise specified or unless the context otherwise requires.

Risks Related to the Company's Business

We are subject to interest rate risk.

The Company's earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon its net
interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are
beyond the Company's control, including general economic conditions and policies
of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal
Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could
influence not only the interest the Company receives on loans and securities and
the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, but such changes
could also affect (i) the Company's ability to originate loans and obtain
deposits, (ii) the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities,
and (iii) the average duration of the Company's mortgage-backed securities
portfolio and other interest-earning assets. If the interest rates paid on
deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates
received on loans and other investments, the Company's net interest income, and
therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be
adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments
fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.

Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability
management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest
rates on the Company's results of operations, any substantial, unexpected,
prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Also, the
Company's interest rate risk modeling techniques and assumptions likely may not
fully predict or capture the impact of actual interest rate changes on the
Company's balance sheet. See Part II sections "Net Interest Income" and
"Interest Rate Risk" in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," for further discussion related to the
Company's management of interest rate risk.

We are subject to lending risk.

As of December 31, 2006 approximately 69.7% of the Company's loan portfolio
consisted of commercial, financial, and agricultural, real estate construction,
and commercial real estate loans (collectively, "commercial loans"). Commercial
loans are generally viewed as having more inherent risk of default than
residential mortgage loans or retail loans. Also, the commercial loan balance
per borrower is typically larger than that for residential mortgage loans and
retail loans, inferring higher potential losses on an individual loan basis.
Because the Company's loan portfolio contains a number of commercial loans with
large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a
significant increase in nonperforming loans. An increase in nonperforming loans
could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the
provision for loan losses, and in increase in loan charge offs, all of which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations. See Part II "Loans" in "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," for further
discussion of credit risks related to different loan types.

We are subject to economic conditions of our geographic market.

The Company's success depends to a large degree on the general economic
conditions of the geographic markets served by the Bank in the State of Illinois
and, to a lesser extent, contiguous states. The local economic conditions on
these areas have a significant impact on the generation of the Bank's
commercial, real estate commercial, and real estate construction loans; the
ability of borrowers to repay these loans; and the value of the collateral
securing these loans. Adverse changes in the economic conditions of the counties
in which we operate could also negatively impact the financial results of the
Company's operations and have a negative effect on its profitability. For

                                      12.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

example, these factors could lead to reduced interest income and an increase in
the provision for loan losses.

A portion of the loans in the Company's portfolio is secured by real estate.
Most of these loans are secured by properties located in the north central,
north west, east central, south central and St. Louis's suburban east counties
of Illinois. Negative conditions in the real estate markets where collateral for
a mortgage loan is located could adversely affect the borrower's ability to
repay the loan and the value of the collateral securing the loan. Real estate
values are affected by various factors, including changes in general or regional
economic conditions, supply and demand for properties and governmental rules or
policies.

Our allowance for loan losses may be insufficient.

Managing the Company's reserve for loan losses is based upon, among other
things, (1) historical experience, (2) an evaluation of local and national
economic conditions, (3) regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio
quality, (4) current trends regarding the volume and severity of past due and
problem loans, (5) the existence and effect of concentrations of credit and (6)
results of regulatory examinations. Based upon such factors, management makes
various assumptions and judgments about the ultimate collectibility of the
respective loan portfolios. Although the Company believes that the reserve for
loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that such reserve will prove
sufficient to cover future losses. Future adjustments may be necessary if
economic conditions change or adverse developments arise with respect to
nonperforming or performing loans or if regulatory supervision changes. Material
additions to the reserve for loan losses would result in a material decrease in
the Company's net income, and possibly its capital, and could result in the
inability to pay dividends, among other adverse consequences.

Mergers and Acquisitions may disrupt our business and dilute stockholder value.

The Company regularly evaluates mergers and acquisition opportunities and
conducts due diligence activities related to possible transactions with other
financial institutions and financial services companies. As a result,
negotiations may take place and future mergers or acquisitions involving cash,
debt, or equity securities may occur at any time. The Company seeks merger or
acquisition partners that are culturally similar, have experienced management,
and possess either significant market presence or have potential for improved
profitability through financial management, economies of scale, or expanded
services.

Acquiring or merging with other banks, businesses, and acquiring branches
involves potential adverse impact to the Company's financial results and various
other risks commonly associated with mergers and acquisitions, including, among
other things:

         o        Difficulty in estimating the value of the target company
         o        Payment of a premium over book and market values that may
                  dilute the Company's tangible book value and earnings per
                  share in the short and long term
         o        Potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the
                  target company
         o        Exposure to potential asset quality issues of the target
                  company
         o        There may be volatility in reported income as goodwill
                  impairment losses could occur irregularly and in varying
                  amounts
         o        Difficulty and expense of integrating the operations and
                  personnel of the target company
         o        Inability to realize the expected revenue increases, cost
                  savings, increases in geographic or product presence, and/or
                  other projected benefits
         o        Potential disruption to the Company's business
         o        Potential diversion of the Company's management's time and
                  attention
         o        The possible loss of key employees and customers of the target
                  company
         o        Potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that
                  may affect the target company

Details of the Company's recent acquisition activity is presented in Note 2,
"Business Combinations," of the notes to consolidated financial statements
within Part II, Item 8.

Our information systems may experience an interruption of breach in security.

The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct
its business. Any failure, interruption, or breach in security of these systems
could result in failures or disruptions in the Company's customer relationship
management, general ledger, deposit, loan, and other systems. While the Company
has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the
failure, interruption, or security breach of its information systems, we cannot
assure you that any such failures, interruptions, or security breaches will not
occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The
occurrence of any failures, interruptions, or security breaches of the Company's
information systems could damage the Company's reputation, result in a loss of
customer business, subject the Company to additional regulatory scrutiny, or
expose the Company to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition
and results of operations.

Risks Associated With The Company's Industry

We operate in a highly regulated industry.

The banking industry is heavily regulated. The banking business of the Company
and the Bank are subject, in certain respects, to regulation by the Federal
Reserve, the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the IDFPR and
the SEC. The Company's success depends not only on competitive factors but also
on state and federal regulations affecting banks and bank holding companies. The
regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors, not stockholders or
other security holders. The ultimate effect of recent and proposed changes to
the regulation of the financial institution industry cannot be predicted.
Regulations now affecting the Company may be modified at any time, and there is
no assurance that such modifications, if any, will not adversely affect the
Company's business. We operate in an industry that is significantly affected by
general business and economic conditions.

The Company's operations and profitability are impacted by general business and
economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include
short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political
issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity
capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance, and the strength of the
U. S. economy and the local economies in which the Company operates, all of
which are beyond the Company's control. A deterioration in economic conditions
could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and nonperforming assets,
decreases in loan collateral values, and a decrease in demand for the Company's
products and services among other things, any of which could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2.  Properties

At December 31, 2006, the Company operated thirty-seven offices in Illinois and
one in Missouri. The principal offices of the Company are located in Ottawa,
Illinois. All of the Company's offices are owned by Centrue Bank and are not
subject to any mortgage or material encumbrance, with the exception of three
offices that are leased: one is located in LaSalle County in Illinois, one in
Will County in Illinois and one in St. Louis County in Missouri. The Company

The Company's Common Stock was held by approximately 1,154 stockholders of

symbol "TRUE." The table below indicates the high and low sales prices of the
Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ for transactions of which the Company is
aware, and the dividends declared per share for the Common Stock during the

certain private transactions in the Common Stock have occurred, the prices shown
may not necessarily represent the complete range of prices at which transactions
in the Common Stock have occurred during such periods.

The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends as declared by
the Board of Directors of the Company, which considers payment of dividends
quarterly. Upon the consummation of the acquisition of Prairie in 1996,
preferential dividends were required to be paid or accrued quarterly, with
respect to the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The ability of the Company
to pay dividends in the future will be primarily dependent upon its receipt of
dividends from Centrue Bank. In determining cash dividends, the Board of
Directors considers the earnings, capital requirements, debt and dividend
servicing requirements, financial ratio guidelines it has established, financial
condition of the Company and other relevant factors. Centrue Bank's ability to
pay dividends to the Company and the Company's ability to pay dividends to its
stockholders are also subject to certain regulatory restrictions.

The Company has paid regular cash dividends on the Common Stock since it
commenced operations in 1982. There can be no assurance, however, that any such
dividends will be paid by the Company or that such dividends will not be reduced
or eliminated in the future. The timing and amount of dividends will depend upon
the earnings, capital requirements and financial condition of the Company and
Centrue Bank, as well as the general economic conditions and other relevant
factors affecting the Company and its subsidiaries. In 1996, the Company entered
into a new loan agreement in connection with the acquisition of Prairie and
Country, replacing the Company's prior loan agreement. The loan agreement
contains no direct prohibitions against the payment by the Company of dividends,
but indirectly restricts such dividends through the required maintenance of
minimum capital ratios. In addition, the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock,
and the Series B Preferred Stock issued to certain of Prairie's preferred
stockholders prohibit the payment of dividends by the Company on the Common
Stock during any period for which dividends on the respective series of
Preferred Stock are in arrears.

The Company has not issued any securities in the past three years which were not
registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Act of 1934 as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking
statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions.
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe
future plans, strategies, and expectations of the Company, are generally
identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "project," "planned" or "potential" or similar
expressions. The Company's ability to predict results, or the actual effect of
future plans or strategies, is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a
material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company
and the subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest
rates; general economic conditions; legislative/regulatory changes; monetary and
fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury
and the Federal Reserve Board; the quality and composition of the loan or
securities portfolios; demand for loan products; deposit flows; competition;
demand for financial services in the Company's market areas; the Company's
implementation of new technologies; the Company's ability to develop and
maintain secure and reliable electronic systems; and accounting principles,
policies, and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in
evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on
such statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31,
2006 contains a summary of our significant accounting policies. Various elements
of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to
estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments.
Our policy with respect to the methodologies used to determine the allowance for
loan losses is our most critical accounting policy. The policy is important to
the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and it
involves a higher decree of complexity and requires management to make difficult
and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about
highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions and
estimates could result in material differences in our results of operations or
financial condition.

The following is a description of our critical accounting policy and an
explanation of the methods and assumptions underlying its application.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses represents management's
estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Estimating
the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and
the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected future cash
flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on
historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and
conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan
portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated balance
sheet. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance, while recoveries of
amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for
loan losses is charged to operations based on management's periodic evaluation
of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.

The allowance for loan losses is based on an estimation computed pursuant to the
requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 5,
"Accounting for Contingencies" and FASB Statements Nos. 114 and 118, "Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," the analysis of the allowance for loan
losses consists of three components: (i) specific credit allocation established

                                       22.
<PAGE>

CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for expected losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit
allocations on individual loans for which the recorded investment in the loan
exceeds its fair value; (ii) general portfolio allocation based on historical
loan loss experience for each loan category; and (iii) subjective reserves based
on general economic conditions as well as specific economic factors in markets
in which the Company operates.

The specific credit allocation component of the allowances for loan losses is
based on an analysis of individual loans and historical loss experience for each
loan category. The specific credit allocations are based on regular analysis of
all loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or
below a predetermined classification. These analyses involve a high degree of
judgment in estimating the amount of loss associated with specific loans,
including estimating the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral
values.

The general portfolio allocation component of the allowance for loan losses is
determined statistically using a loss analysis that examines historical loan
loss experience. The loss analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are
updated regularly based on actual experience. The general portfolio allocation
element of the allowance for loan losses also includes consideration of the
amounts necessary for concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.

There are many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses; some are
quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. The process for
determining the allowance (which management believes adequately considers all of
the potential factors which might possibly result in credit losses) includes
subjective elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant change. To
the extent actual outcomes differs from management estimates, additional
provision for credit losses could be required that could adversely affect the
Company's earnings or financial position in future periods.

Goodwill: Costs in excess of the estimated fair value of identified assets
acquired through purchase transactions are recorded as an asset of the Company.
As per Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets", an annual impairment analysis is required to be performed to
determine if the asset is impaired and needs to be written down to its fair
value. This assessment is conducted as of December 31 of each year or more
frequently if conditions warrant. Per the December 31, 2006 analysis, no
impairment was identified as a result of these tests. In making these impairment
analyses, management must make subjective assumptions regarding the fair value
of the Company's assets and liabilities. It is possible that these judgments may
change over time as market conditions or Company strategies change, and these
changes may cause the Company to record impairment changes to adjust the
goodwill to its estimated fair value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: The Company recognizes as a separate asset the right
to service mortgage loans for others. The value of mortgage servicing rights is
amortized in relation to the servicing revenue expected to be earned. Mortgage
servicing rights are periodically evaluated for impairment based upon the fair
value of those rights. Annually, in November, the Company obtains a valuation
from an independent appraiser as to the valuation of these rights. Estimating
the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights involves judgment, particularly
of estimating prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgages serviced. Net income
could be affected if management's assumptions and estimated differ from actual
prepayments.

Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed
for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are also
recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances
are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount

                                      23.

expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for
the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.

General

Centrue Financial Corporation is the holding company for Centrue Bank (the
Bank). The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The
Company derives most of its revenues and income from the banking operations of
its bank subsidiary, but also derives revenue from the Wealth Management
Division of its bank subsidiary. The Company provides a full range of products
and services to individual and corporate customers located in the north central,
east central, south central, suburban west area of Chicago, suburban metro east
area of St. Louis, and northwest Illinois areas. These products and services
include demand, time, and savings deposits; lending; mortgage banking; brokerage
services; asset management; and trust services. The Company is subject to
competition from other financial institutions, including banks, thrifts and
credits unions, as well as nonfinancial institutions providing financial
services. Additionally, the Company and the Bank are subject to regulations of
certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those
regulatory agencies.

Merger, Acquisition and Divestiture Activity

    Completed Transactions

On November 13, 2006, the Company completed the merger with Centrue Financial
Corporation, a single bank holding company, in a stock transaction valued at
$49,316. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, which provides for the establishment of goodwill equal to the excess
of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets. As a
result, the Company recognized goodwill of $19,086 and other intangible assets
of $13,035. The goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment tests on
at least an annual basis. The other intangibles will be amortized over a
weighted average life of 10 years. Only 49 days of the former Centrue
Financial's results of operations are included in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Income. See Note 23 for additional information for this
transaction.

The Company incurred approximately $767 in pre-tax expenses during the fourth
quarter of 2006 that were recorded as part of the merger and integration of the
former Centrue Bank. Approximately $216 of the total represented share-based
compensation expense with the remainder representing direct costs and employee
bonus payments, contract termination costs, marketing related advertising and
promotional items, and accelerated depreciation expense for assets being phased
out. The impact to earnings, net of taxes, was approximately $0.11 per diluted
share.

On September 29, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its insurance business
line. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS 144") the results of operations of the
insurance division are reflected in the Company's statements of income as
"discontinued operations." The loss on sale of the insurance unit of $452 and
related tax benefit of $175 are included in discontinued operations as of
December 31, 2006. The total impact to earnings for the discontinued operations
for the insurance unit for 2006, net of taxes, was approximately $0.10 per
diluted share. Additionally, approximately $1,030 of goodwill and intangibles
attributed to the Insurance unit on the Company's balance sheet were written off
as a result of this transaction and factored into the loss on the sale of the
discontinued operations. See Note 22 for additional information for this
transaction.

On March 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of one retail branch office
located in Mendota, Illinois, which had approximately $6,100 in deposits.

Results of Operations

    Net Income

         2006 compared to 2005. Net income equaled $5,187 or $1.20 per diluted
share for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to net income of $4,173
or $0.99 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2005. During the
period, the Company reported a net loss of $415 or $0.10 per diluted share for
discontinued operations related to the sale of the insurance line as compared to
a net loss of $206 or $0.05 per diluted share for 2005.

Net income for continuing operations equaled $5,602 or $1.30 per diluted share
as compared to net income of $4,379 or $1.04 per diluted share. This represents
a 24.3% increase in net income and a 21.2% increase in diluted per share
earnings in the current fiscal year over fiscal 2005.

The Company's annual results for continuing operations were higher in 2006
versus 2005 due primarily due to several key issues. First, due to general
improvement in asset quality, the Company decreased the provision for loan
losses. Second, volume related increases in net interest income and other fee
based revenue largely related to operating results from the Centrue merger being
recorded for the last 49 days of the year. Finally, salaries and benefit costs
were lower due to a reduction in force implemented in the fourth quarter of
2005. These were partially offset by increases in occupancy, furniture and
equipment expenses related to operations for the last 49 days from the Centrue
merger. In addition, performance for the full year of 2006 was negatively
impacted by integration and related costs recorded in the fourth quarter
specific to the Centrue merger.

Return on average assets was 0.69% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared
to 0.63% for the same period in 2005. Return on average stockholders' equity was
6.69% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 6.06% for the same period
in 2005.

         2005 compared to 2004. Net income equaled $4,173 or $0.99 per diluted
share for the year ended December 31, 2005 as compared to net income of $4,803
or $1.12 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2004. This represents
a 13.1% decrease in net income and an 11.6% decrease in diluted per share
earnings in the current fiscal year over fiscal 2004.

The Company's annual results were lower in 2005 versus 2004 due to the $1,700
net gain on sale (after allocating a portion of the intangible assets and
goodwill, taxes and applicable expenses) associated with the Company's
divestiture of five western Illinois sales and service center locations recorded
in the third quarter of 2004. Also contributing to the change were volume
related decreases in net interest income and other fee based revenue largely
related to the sale of the West region. Positively impacting earnings were
decreases in the provision for loan losses due to continued improvement in asset
quality levels and volume related decreases in noninterest expense categories
due to the sale of the West region.

Return on average assets was 0.63% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared
to 0.65% for the same period in 2004. Return on average stockholders' equity was
6.06% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 7.06% for the same period
in 2004.

    Net Interest Income/ Margin

Net interest income is the difference between income earned on interest-earning
assets and the interest expense incurred for the funding sources used to finance
these assets. Changes in net interest income generally occur due to fluctuations
in the volume of earning assets and paying liabilities and rates earned and
paid, respectively, on those assets and liabilities. The net yield on total
interest-earning assets, also referred to as net interest margin, represents net
interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin
measures how efficiently the Company uses its earning assets and underlying
capital. The Company's long-term objective is to manage those assets and
liabilities to provide the largest possible amount of income while balancing
interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risks. For purposes of this
discussion, both net interest income and margin have been adjusted to a fully
tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt securities and loans.

         2006 compared to 2005. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis,
was $23,104 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared with $21,587 earned
during the same period in 2005. This represented an increase of $1,517 or 7.0%.
The increase in net interest income is attributable to the year-over-year
improvement in income earned on interest earning assets totaling $9,156
exceeding the year-over-year increase of interest expense paid on interest
bearing liabilities totaling $7,645.

The $9,156 increase in interest income resulted from improvements of $4,066
related to volume and $5,090 due to rates. The majority of the change in
interest income was related to yield increases of 63 basis points in the loan
portfolio and 89 basis points in the security portfolio. Also, contributing was
the $53,185 improvement in earning-assets largely related to the merger with
Centrue in the fourth quarter.

The $7,200 increase in interest expense resulted from increases of $4,906
associated with rate and $2,294 due to volume. The majority of the change was
attributable to a 106 basis point increase in rates paid on total time deposits
due to repricing of short-term instruments in a higher interest rate
environment. Also contributing to the increase was higher expense caused by the
addition of interest-bearing liabilities largely related to the merger with
Centrue in the fourth quarter.

The net interest margin decreased 9 basis points to 3.47% for the year ended
December 31, 2006 from 3.56% during the same period in 2005. The decrease
resulted primarily from the result of an inverted yield curve and competitive
pressures in pricing loans and deposits.

         2005 compared to 2004. Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis,
was $21,587 for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with $22,376 earned
during the same period in 2004. This represented a decrease of $789 or 3.5%. The
decrease in net interest income is attributable to the year-over-year reduction
of income earned on interest earning assets totaling $328 combined with the
year-over-year increase of interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities
totaling $461.

The $328 reduction in interest income resulted from a decrease of $3,748 related
to volume partially offset by $3,420 improvement due to rates. The majority of
the change in interest income was related to a decline in the average loan
balance caused by the sale of the West region, as well as the loan portfolio
declining due to normal paydowns, softening of loan demand, and exiting of
high-balance, high-risk credits from portfolio. This loss in volume overcame a
44 basis point increase in yields earned on average loans.

The $461 increase in interest expense resulted from an increase of $2,055
associated with rate partially offset by a $1,594 decrease due to volume. The
majority of the change was attributable to a 34 basis point increase in rates
paid on deposits due to the higher interest rate environment. This increase was
slightly offset by the lower expense caused by a decline in average deposit
balances related to the sale of the West region's branches.

The net interest margin increased 22 basis points to 3.56% for the year ended
December 31, 2005 from 3.34% during the same period in 2004. The increase
resulted primarily from the result of the overall rising interest rate
environment and a more disciplined approach to pricing.

The following table sets forth for each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities the average amounts outstanding, the interest
earned or paid on such amounts, and the average rate paid during 2006, 2005 and
2004. The table also sets forth the average rate earned on all interest-earning
assets, the average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities, and the net
yield on average interest-earning assets for the same period. For purposes of
this discussion, both net interest income and margin have been adjusted to a
fully tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt securities and loans.

CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(In Thousands, Except Share Data)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix
of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as
"volume change." It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other
borrowed funds referred to as "rate change." The following table reflects the
changes in net interest income stemming from changes in interest rates and from
asset and liability volume, including mix. Any variance attributable jointly to
volume and rate changes is allocated to the volume and rate variances in
proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of the change in
each.

         Provision for Loan Losses. The amount of the provision for loan losses
is based on management's evaluations of the loan portfolio, with particular
attention directed toward nonperforming, impaired and other potential problem
loans. During these evaluations, consideration is also given to such factors as
management's evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of impaired
loans, other nonperforming loans, other identified potential problem loans,
historical loss experience, results of examinations by regulatory agencies,
results of the independent asset quality review process, the market value of
collateral, the estimate of discounted cash flows, the strength and availability
of guarantees, concentrations of credits, and various other factors, including
concentration of credit risk in various industries and current economic
conditions.

         2006 compared to 2005. The 2006 provision for loan losses charged to
operating expense totaled ($1,275), a decrease of $1,525 in comparison to the
$250 recorded during the same period for 2005. The decrease in the provision for
loan losses was largely based on the pay-off of one $4,400 loan relationship
that was classified as impaired as of year-end 2005 with a specific reserve
allocation of $1,500. Also contributing to management's decision to make the

reverse provision were continued improvements in the quality of the loan
portfolio, and favorable loan loss experience. Furthermore, this was positively
impacted by loan resolutions, either through charge-off of nonbankable assets or
through successful workout strategies that were executed throughout 2006. Net
charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,020 compared with
$1,620 in the same period of 2005. Annualized net charge-offs decreased to 0.22%
of average loans for 2006 compared to 0.39% in the same period in 2005.

Management remains watchful of credit quality issues. Should the economic
climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may experience difficulty,
and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise
and require further increases in the provision.

         2005 compared to 2004. The 2005 provision for loan losses charged to
operating expense totaled $250, a decrease of $1,674 in comparison to the $1,924
recorded during the same period for 2004. The decrease in the provision for loan
losses was due to the continued improvement in the management of the
nonperforming and action/watch list loans from year-end 2004 to year-end 2005,
including improved problem asset identification. Furthermore, this was
positively impacted by loan resolutions, either through charge-off of
nonbankable assets or through successful workout strategies that were executed
throughout 2005. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2005 were
$1,620 compared with $1,029 in the same period of 2004. Annualized net
charge-offs increased to 0.39% of average loans for 2005 compared to 0.23% in
the same period in 2004.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists of a wide variety of fee-based
revenues from bank-related service charges on deposits and mortgage revenues.
Also included in this category are revenues generated by the Company's
brokerage, trust and asset management services as well as increases in cash
surrender value on bank-owned life insurance. The following table summarizes the
Company's noninterest income:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The increase reflected higher service charges and fees received on items drawn
on customer accounts with insufficient funds (included in service charges), and
variable-related improvement in electronic banking card-based fees. Also
contributing to the change was the recognition of revenue generated from the
Centrue merger for 49 days.

These improvements were partially offset by declines in revenue generated from
the brokerage product line due to a change in the mix of products sold during
the year and the mortgage banking division. The decrease in mortgage banking
income, which includes gains generated from the sale of loans and net servicing
revenue (after amortization of mortgage servicing rights), was due to a
shortfall in the production of new mortgage loans originated. The remaining
categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year changes.

         2005 compared to 2004. Noninterest income totaled $7,602 for the year
ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $14,102 for the same timeframe in 2004.
This represented a decrease of $6,500 or 46.1% in 2005 over the prior period.
Excluding net securities gains and the gains on sale of branches and the
Company's credit card portfolio, noninterest income shows a year-over-year
decrease of $2,039 or 21.0%.

Excluding net securities gains and gains on sale of the branches and the credit
card portfolio, the decrease in noninterest income was related to a $670 decline
in mortgage banking income, an $870 decrease in service charges and $416 decline
in insurance commissions. Decreases in service charges and other fee based
revenue were largely due to volume associated with the sale of the West region's
branches in 2004. The decrease in insurance commission fees was due to account
retention issues and lower than anticipated new account production. The
remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight year-over-year
changes.

Mortgage banking income, which includes gains generated from the sale of loans
and net servicing revenue (after amortization of mortgage servicing rights), was
lower in 2005 due to a decrease in mortgage origination volume slightly offset
by an increase in revenue generated by the servicing rights portfolio due to the
slowdown in refinancing activity.

         Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for continuing operations is
comprised primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and other
operating expense. The following table summarizes the Company's noninterest
expense:

         2006 compared to 2005. Noninterest expense for continuing operations
totaled $22,723 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared to $21,343 for
the same timeframe in 2005. This represented an increase of $1,380 or 6.5% in
2006 from 2005.

Adversely impacting expense levels was approximately $767 in acquisition and
integration costs related to accelerated share-based compensation, employee
bonus and severance payments, contract termination costs, marketing related
advertising and promotional items, and accelerated depreciation expense for
assets being phased out. Also contributing to the increase were costs associated
with the operation of 21 additional branches resulting from the Centrue merger.
These increased costs were offset by $1,608 in savings from salaries and
employee benefits expense related to a reduction in force plan implemented
during the fourth quarter of 2005 intended to realign expense levels with
revenue levels. The remaining categories remained relatively stable with only
slight year-over-year changes.

         2005 compared to 2004. Noninterest expense totaled $22,965 for the year
ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $26,981 for the same timeframe in 2004.
This represented a decrease of $4,016 or 14.9% in 2005 from 2004. Approximately
40% of the improvement in noninterest expense levels was due to $1,621 in cost
savings from salaries and employee benefits expense related to the sale of the
West region's branches. Also contributing to the change were volume related
decreases in occupancy expense of $890, furniture and equipment of $280 and
other expense of $798 related to the branch sales in 2004.

         Applicable Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the periods included
benefits for tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged investments and general business
tax credits offset by the effect of nondeductible expenses. The following table
shows the Company's income before income taxes, as well as applicable income
taxes and the effective tax rate for each of the past three years:

</TABLE>

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2,145 and $1,319 for 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Effective tax rates equaled 27.7% and 23.2% respectively, for such
periods. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company recorded a $251
reduction in state income taxes due to the receipt of a tax refund related to
amended tax returns outstanding from prior years. Excluding this refund, the
effective tax rate for 2005 would have been 27.0%.

The Company's effective tax rate was lower than statutory rates due to several
factors. First, the Company derives interest income from municipal securities
and loans, which are exempt from federal tax and certain U. S. government agency
securities, which are exempt from Illinois State tax. Second, the level of
tax-exempt income has increased as a percentage of taxable income. Third, state
income taxes were lower due to a refund from amended tax returns for prior
years. Finally, the Company has reduced tax expense through various tax planning
initiatives.

       Preferred Stock Dividends. The Company paid $207 of preferred stock
dividends in 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

The business of the Company and the composition of its balance sheet consist of
investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities) which
are primarily funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings).
All of the financial instruments of the Company are for other than trading
purposes. Such financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to
changes in market rates of interest. The operating income and net income of
Centrue Bank depends, to a substantial extent, on "rate differentials," i.e.,
the differences between the income Centrue Bank receives from loans, securities,
and other earning assets and the interest expense they pay to obtain deposits
and other liabilities. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are
beyond the control of Centrue Bank, including general economic conditions and
the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities.

The Company measures its overall interest rate sensitivity through a net
interest income analysis. The net interest income analysis measures the change
in net interest income in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates.
This analysis assesses the risk of changes in net interest income in the event
of a sudden and sustained 100 to 200 basis point increase in market interest
rates or a 100 to 200 basis point decrease in market rates. The interest rates
scenarios are used for analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent
management's view of future market movements.

Based on the Company's model at December 31, 2006, the effect of an immediate
200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company's net
interest income by 5.49% or approximately $2,215. The effect of an immediate 200
basis point decrease in rates would decrease the Company's net interest income

Based on the Company's model at December 31, 2005, the effect of an immediate
200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company's net

Financial Condition

         Loans and Asset Quality. Total loans increased $419,419 primarily due
to loans acquired as part of the Centrue merger, which included $47,716 of
commercial, $4,099 of agriculture, $379,233 of real estate, and $5,411 of
installment loans. The largest impact on the overall loan portfolio mix due to
the merger in relative percentage was an increase in 1-4 family loans from 13.9%
to 27.1% of total loans.

        The Company offers a broad range of products, including agribusiness,
commercial, residential, and installment loans, designed to meet the credit
needs of its borrowers. The Company's loans are diversified by borrower and
industry group.

         Nonperforming Assets. The Company's financial statements are prepared
on the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income
on its loan portfolio, unless a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans are
placed on nonaccrual status when there are serious doubts regarding the
collectibility of all principal and interest due under the terms of the loans.
Amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied first to principal
and then to interest. It is the policy of the Company not to renegotiate the
terms of a loan because of a delinquent status. Rather, a loan is generally
transferred to nonaccrual status if it is not in the process of collection and
is delinquent in payment of either principal or interest beyond 90 days. Loans
which are 90 days delinquent but are well secured and in the process of
collection are not included in nonperforming assets. Other nonperforming assets
consist of real estate acquired through loan foreclosures or other workout
situations and other assets acquired through repossessions.

The classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily indicate that
the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in part. Centrue Bank makes a
determination as to collectibility on a case-by-case basis. Centrue Bank
considers both the adequacy of the collateral and the other resources of the

borrower in determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans. The
final determination as to the steps taken is made based upon the specific facts
of each situation. Alternatives that are typically considered to collect
nonaccrual loans are foreclosure, collection under guarantees, loan
restructuring, or judicial collection actions.

Each of the Company's loans is assigned a rating based upon an internally
developed grading system. A separate credit administration department also
reviews grade assignments on an ongoing basis. Management continuously monitors
nonperforming, impaired, and past due loans to prevent further deterioration of
these loans. The Company has an independent loan review function which is
separate from the lending function and is responsible for the review of new and
existing loans.

The level of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2006 increased to $11,759
versus the $4,004 that existed as of December 31, 2005. The increase of $7,755
was largely related to $10,230 that was added to nonaccrual loans as part of the
Centrue merger and offset by a decrease of $2,475 related to resolutions of
nonbankable loans or through successful workout strategies executed throughout
2006. The level of nonperforming loans to total end of period loans was 1.40% at
December 31, 2006, as compared to 0.96% at December 31, 2005. The reserve
coverage ratio (allowance to nonperforming loans) was reported at 92.14% as of
December 31, 2006 as compared to 208.84% as of December 31, 2005.

         Other Potential Problem Loans. The Company has other potential problem
loans that are currently performing and do not meet the criteria for impairment,
but where some concern exists. Excluding nonperforming loans and loans that
management has classified as impaired, these other potential problem loans
totaled $1,757 at December 31, 2006 as compared to $2,879 at December 31, 2005.
The classification of these loans, however, does not imply that management
expects losses on each of these loans. Rather, management believes that a higher
level of scrutiny and close monitoring is prudent under the circumstances. Such
classifications relate to specific concerns for each individual borrower and do
not relate to any concentration risk common to all loans in this group.

         Allowance for Loan Losses. In conjunction with the Centrue merger, the
Company acquired $436,459 in net loans. Centrue's allowance for loan losses at
the acquisition date, not allocated to impaired loans, was $4,767. The Company
applied the guidance required under the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt
Securities Acquired in a Transfer ("SOP 03-3") and determined that certain loans
acquired in the merger had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since
origination and were probable that all contractual required payments would not
be collected on these loans. The Company determined that 54 loans with a book
value totaling approximately $11,796 and a fair value of $9,379 were within the
guidelines set forth under SOP 03-3. The Company recorded these at their fair
value and reduced the allowance for loan losses by $2,416. Accordingly, the
Company recorded $4,767 of allowance for loan losses on loans not subject to SOP
03-3.

At December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $10,835 or 1.29% of
total loans as compared to $8,362 or 2.00% at December 31, 2005. The Company
recorded a negative provision of ($1,275) to the allowance for loan losses
largely based on the pay-off of one $4,400 loan relationship that was classified
as impaired as of year-end with a specific reserve allocation of $1,500. Also
contributing to management's decision to make the reverse provision were
continued improvements in the quality of the loan portfolio and favorable loan
loss experience.

In originating loans, the Company recognizes that credit losses will be
experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other things: general
economic conditions; the type of loan being made; the creditworthiness of the
borrower over the term of the loan; and, in the case of a collateralized loan,
the quality of the collateral for such a loan. The allowance for loan losses
represents the Company's estimate of the allowance necessary to provide for
probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. In making this determination,
the Company analyzes the ultimate collectibility of the loans in its portfolio,
feedback provided by internal loan staff, the independent loan review function,
and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory agencies. The
Company makes an ongoing evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses.

On a quarterly basis, management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses. Commercial credits are graded by the loan officers and the loan review
function validates the officers' grades. In the event that the loan review
function downgrades the loan, it is included in the allowance analysis at the
lower grade. The grading system is in compliance with the regulatory
classifications and the allowance is allocated to the loans based on the
regulatory grading, except in instances where there are known differences (i.e.,
collateral value is nominal, etc.). To establish the appropriate level of the
allowance, a sample of loans (including impaired and nonperforming loans) are
reviewed and classified as to potential loss exposure.

Based on an estimation computed pursuant to the requirements of Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement No. 5, "Accounting for
Contingencies," and FASB Statements Nos. 114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan," the analysis of the allowance for loan losses
consists of three components: (i) specific credit allocation established for

                                      38.

expected losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit
allocations on individual loans for which the recorded investment in the loan
exceeds its fair value; (ii) general portfolio allocation based on historical
loan loss experience for each loan category; and (iii) subjective reserves based
on general economic conditions as well as specific economic factors in the
markets in which the Company operates.

The specific credit allocation component of the allowance for loan losses is
based on a regular analysis of loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the
internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. The fair
value of the loan is determined based on either the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the market
price of the loan, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of
the underlying collateral less cost of sale.

The general portfolio allocation component of the allowance for loan losses is
determined statistically using a loss analysis that examines historical loan
loss experience. The loss analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are
updated regularly based on actual experience. The general portfolio allocation
element of the allowance for loan losses also includes consideration of the
amounts necessary for concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and ultimate losses will
vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed quarterly, and as
adjustments, either positive or negative, become necessary, a corresponding
increase or decrease is made in the provision for loan losses. The methodology
used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistent
with prior years, and there were no reallocations.

Management remains watchful of credit quality issues. Should the economic
climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may experience difficulty,
and the level of nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise
and require further increases in the provision.

         Securities Activities. The Company's consolidated securities portfolio,
which represented 28.7% of the Company's average earning asset base as of
December 31, 2006, as compared to 31.4% as of December 31, 2005, is managed to
minimize interest rate risk, maintain sufficient liquidity, and maximize return.
The portfolio includes several callable agency debentures, adjustable rate
mortgage pass-throughs, and collateralized mortgage obligations. Corporate bonds
consist of investment grade obligations of public corporations. Equity
securities consist of Federal Reserve stock, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, and
trust preferred stock. The Company's financial planning anticipates income
streams generated by the securities portfolio based on normal maturity and
reinvestment. Securities classified as available-for-sale, carried at fair
value, were $298,692 at December 31, 2006 compared to $196,440 at December 31,
2005 primarily resulting from $125,756 in securities added as a result of the
Centrue merger. The Company does not have any securities classified as trading
or held-to-maturity.

    Liquidity

The Company manages its liquidity position with the objective of maintaining
sufficient funds to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers and to take
advantage of earnings enhancement opportunities. In addition to the normal
inflow of funds from core-deposit growth together with repayments and maturities
of loans and investments, the Company utilizes other short-term funding sources
such as brokered time deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase,
overnight federal funds purchased from correspondent banks and the acceptance of
short-term deposits from public entities, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

The Company monitors and manages its liquidity position on several bases, which
vary depending upon the time period. As the time period is expanded, other data
is factored in, including estimated loan funding requirements, estimated loan
payoffs, investment portfolio maturities or calls, and anticipated depository
buildups or runoffs.

The Company classifies all of its securities as available-for-sale, thereby
maintaining significant liquidity. The Company's liquidity position is further
enhanced by structuring its loan portfolio interest payments as monthly and by
the significant representation of retail credit and residential mortgage loans
in the Company's loan portfolio, resulting in a steady stream of loan
repayments. In managing its investment portfolio, the Company provides for
staggered maturities so that cash flows are provided as such investments mature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash flows from
operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from
financing activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities and investing
activities offset by cash flows used in financing activities resulted in a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of $15,837 from December 31, 2005 to
December 31, 2006.

During 2006, the Company experienced net cash inflows of $53,963 in investing
activities primarily due to proceeds from maturities, paydowns, and sales of
securities and cash acquired in merger and $7,411 from operating activities
largely due to net income and proceeds from net loans sales and net income. In
contrast, net cash outflows of $45,500 were used in financing activities due to
decreases in deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Centrue Bank's securities portfolio, federal funds sold, and cash and due from
bank deposit balances serve as the primary sources of liquidity for the Company.
At December 31, 2006, 25.68% of Centrue Bank's interest-bearing liabilities were
in the form of time deposits of $100,000 and over. Management believes these
deposits to be a stable source of funds. However, if a large number of these
time deposits matured at approximately the same time and were not renewed,
Centrue Bank's liquidity could be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities
of Centrue Bank's large time deposits are spread throughout the year, with 52.2%
maturing in the first quarter of 2007, 16.4% maturing in the second quarter of
2007, 9.5% maturing in the third and fourth quarters of 2007, and the remaining
21.9% maturing thereafter. Centrue Bank monitors those maturities in an effort
to minimize any adverse effect on liquidity.

The Company's borrowings included trust preferred securities and notes payable
at December 31, 2006 in the principal amount of $10,000 each for Kankakee
Capital Trust and Centrue Statutory Trust, $7,850 payable to the Company's
principal correspondent bank, shareholder note for $1,200 related to the
purchase of Parrish Bank and $149 payable to individuals related to the purchase
of the Howard Marshall Agency. The note to the Company's principal correspondent
bank is renewable annually, requires quarterly interest payments, and is
collateralized by the Company's stock in the Bank. The note related to the
purchase of the Howard Marshall Agency requires monthly principal and interest
payments. The shareholder note requires bi-annual payments of $500 at an imputed
interest rate.

The Company's principal source of funds for repayment of the indebtedness is
dividends from Centrue Bank. At December 31, 2006, approximately $1,946 was
available for dividends without regulatory approval.

The Company has entered into contractual obligations and commitments and

Commitments, Contingencies, and Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of
credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs.
These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as
long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have
expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet
risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although
material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make
such commitments as are used for loans, often including obtaining collateral at
exercise of the commitment. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $192,808 in
outstanding loan commitments including outstanding commitments for various lines
of credit. The Company also has $10,937 of standby letters of credit as of
December 31, 2006. See Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information on loan commitments and standby letters of
credit.

Capital Resources

    Stockholders' Equity

The Company is committed to managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and
maintaining strong protection for depositors and creditors. Stockholders' equity
at December 31, 2006 was $118,191, an increase of $52,116 or 78.9%, from
December 31, 2005. The increase in stockholders' equity was largely the result
of the issuance of common stock related to the Centrue merger and net income for
the period partially offset by dividends paid to shareholders. These increases
were partially offset by cash outlays of common stock and preferred stock
dividends, and purchase of treasury stock. Average equity as a percentage of
average assets was 10.35% at December 31, 2006, compared to 10.39% at December
31, 2005. Book value per common share equaled $18.23 at December 31, 2006, an
increase from $17.23 reported at the end of 2005.

    Stock Repurchase Programs

Following the closing of the Centrue merger, the Company's board voted to
terminate the former UnionBancorp, Inc. stock repurchase plan. In its place, the
Company adopted a new stock repurchase plan, providing for the repurchase of up
to 5%, or approximately 370,000 shares, of the combined company's common stock
outstanding over the next 18 months in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions.

    Capital Measurements

Centrue Bank is expected to meet a minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted
assets ratio of 8%, of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in the form of
Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%) may be in the form of Tier
1 (core) or Tier 2 (supplementary) capital. The amount of loan loss allowance
that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The
ratio of Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2
(supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for the Company was 10.8% and
11.9%, respectively, at December 31, 2006. The decline in the respective capital
ratios was primarily due to an increase in goodwill and other intangible assets
in connection with the Centrue merger. The Company is currently, and expects to
continue to be, in compliance with these guidelines.

As of December 31, 2006, the Tier 2 risk-based capital was comprised of $10,835
in allowance for loan losses (limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock, subject to certain
adjustments intended to offset the amount of losses incurred by the Company upon
the post-closing sale of certain securities acquired in conjunction with the
1996 acquisition of Prairie.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's capital ratios:

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Monetary Policies

The financial statements and related financial data concerning the Company have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in
the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary
effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased
operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets
and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
changes in interest rates have a more significant effect on the performance of a
financial institution than do the effects of changes in the general rate of
inflation and changes in prices. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the
same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.
Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control
of the Company, including the influence of domestic and foreign economic
conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government
and federal agencies, particularly the FRB.

             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Shareholders
Centrue Financial Corporation
Ottawa, Illinois


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Centrue Financial Corporation
as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Centrue Financial Corporation
at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1.  Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Centrue Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a bank holding company
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. During the 4th quarter of
2006, the former UnionBancorp completed its merger with Centrue Financial
Corporation. Immediately following the merger, UnionBancorp changed its name to
Centrue Financial Corporation. The Company provides a full range of banking
services to individual and corporate customers located in markets extending from
the far western and southern suburbs of the Chicago metropolitan area across
Central and Northern Illinois down to the metropolitan St. Louis area. These
services include demand, time, and savings deposits; lending; mortgage banking,
brokerage, asset management, and trust services. The Company is subject to
competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions
providing financial services. Additionally, the Company and its subsidiary
Centrue Bank are subject to regulations of certain regulatory agencies and
undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

Basis of presentation
---------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
Centrue Bank. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.
S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practice in the
banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management makes
estimates and assumptions based on available information that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of income and expenses during the reporting period, and actual results could
differ. The allowance for loan losses, value of mortgage servicing rights,
deferred taxes, and fair values of financial instruments are particularly
subject to change.

Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity, other than trust cash on deposit
with Centrue Bank, are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not
included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Cash flows
----------

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial
institutions under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Loan disbursements and
collections, repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, Federal Home Loan
Bank advances, bank owned life insurance and transactions in deposit accounts
are reported, net.

Securities
----------

Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities that the
Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to
maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would
be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates,
changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity
needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Securities
available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses,
net of the related deferred income tax effect, reported in other comprehensive
income. Securities such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank
stock are carried at cost. Declines in the fair value of securities below their
cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized

losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the
length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the
financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company's
ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any
anticipated recovery in fair value.

Interest income is reported net of amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts. Gains or losses from the sale of securities are determined using the
specific identification method. Securities are written down to fair value when a
decline in fair value is not temporary.

Loan commitments and related financial instruments
--------------------------------------------------

Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as
commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet
customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the
exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.
Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Loans
-----

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance
outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an
allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal
balance.

Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the
loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of
collection. Consumer and credit card loans are typically charged off no later
than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the
loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier
date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual are
reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted
for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to
accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and
interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are
reasonably assured.

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market, as determined by outstanding
commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a
valuation allowance and charged to earnings.

Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained.
The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the cost allocated to
the servicing right. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on
the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related
loan sold.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred
credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management
believes and confirms the loan balance to be uncollectible. Subsequent
recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the

         (Continued)

allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and
volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and
estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations
of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is
available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific
component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans
otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers
non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for
current factors.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include
payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant
payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls
on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of delay, the
reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of
the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is
measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans
by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair
value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of
smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.
Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and
residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Mortgage servicing rights
-------------------------

Servicing assets represent purchased rights and the allocated value of retained
servicing rights on loans sold. Servicing assets are expensed in proportion to,
and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is
evaluated based on the fair value of the assets, using groupings of the
underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, to prepayment
characteristics. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with
similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows
using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a
valuation allowance, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized
amount for a grouping.

Premises and equipment
----------------------

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Building and related components are depreciated using
the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 15 to 39 years.
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line (or
accelerated) method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. The cost of
maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; significant
improvements are capitalized.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1.  Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         (Continued)

Foreclosed assets
-----------------

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at
fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines,
a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are
expensed.

Bank-owned life insurance
-------------------------

The Company has invested in bank-owned life insurance policies, for which the
Company is also the beneficiary, on certain members of management. Bank-owned
life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value or the amount that can be
realized. These policies have an approximate cash surrender value of $25,907 and
$15,498 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Goodwill and other intangible assets
------------------------------------

Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities
and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for
impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired customer
relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank, and branch company
acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized
over their estimated useful lives, which is ten years.

Long-term assets
----------------

Premises and equipment, core deposit, and other intangible assets, and other
long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying
amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired,
the assets are recorded at fair value.

Repurchase agreements
---------------------

Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by
various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are
not covered by federal deposit insurance.

Income taxes
------------

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences
between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets
and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recognized for the estimated taxes
ultimately payable or recoverable based on enacted tax laws. Changes in enacted
tax rates and laws are reflected in the financial statements in the periods they
occur.

Earnings per share
------------------

Basic earnings per share is based on weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of any dilutive potential common
shares under stock options and Series A convertible preferred shares using the
treasury stock method.

Stock Based Compensation
------------------------

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, using the modified
prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company has recorded stock-based
employee compensation cost using the fair value method starting in 2006. For
2006, adopting this standard resulted in a reduction of income before income
taxes of $353, a reduction in net income of $216, a decrease in basic and
diluted earnings per share of $0.52 and $0.52.

Prior to January 1, 2006, employee compensation expense under stock options was
reported using the intrinsic value method; therefore, no stock-based
compensation cost is reflected in net income for 2005 and 2004, as all options
granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the
underlying common stock at date of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for 2005 and 2004.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate the grant date fair
value of option grants.

Stockholders' Equity:
--------------------

Preferred stock
---------------

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes its Board of Directors to
fix or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of 200,000
shares of preferred stock.

The Company has the following classes of preferred stock issued or authorized:

     Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: The Company has authorized 2,765
     shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There were 2,762.24 shares
     of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued at December 31, 2006 and
     2005. Preferential cumulative cash dividends are payable quarterly at an
     annual rate of $75.00 per share. Dividends accrue on each share of Series A
     Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and from day to day thereafter,
     whether or not earned or declared. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock
     are convertible into 172,042 common shares. Series A Preferred Stock is not
     redeemable for cash. Upon dissolution, winding up, or liquidation of the
     Company, voluntary or otherwise, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will
     be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company available for
     distribution to stockholders, the amount of $1,000 per share, plus any
     accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment or distribution may be
     made on shares of common stock or any other securities issued by the
     Company that rank junior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

     Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock: The Company has authorized
     1,092 shares of Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock. There were
     831 shares of Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock issued at
     December 31, 2006 and 2005 which are shown in other liabilities in
     accordance with FASB 150. Preferential cumulative cash dividends are
     payable quarterly at an annual rate of $60.00 per share. Dividends accrue
     on each share of Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and
     from day to day, thereafter, whether or not earned or declared. Each
     original holder of Series B Preferred Stock (or upon such holder's death,
     their executor or personal representatives) will have the option,
     exercisable at their sole discretion, to sell, and the Company will be
     obligated to redeem such holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon
     the earlier to occur of the death of the respective original holder of
     Series B Preferred Stock or August 6, 2006. The per share price payable by
     the Company for such shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be equal to
     $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends. Upon dissolution,
     wind up, or liquidation of the Company, voluntary or otherwise, holders of
     Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out of the assets of
     the Company available for distribution to stockholders, the amount of
     $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment
     or distribution may be made on shares of common stock or any other
     securities issued by the Company that rank junior to the Series B Preferred
     Stock.

     Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock: The Company has authorized
     4,500 shares of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock. There were
     no shares issued at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Effective with the adoption
     of the restated articles of incorporation submitted in November, 2006, the
     Series C Preferred Stock ceased to exist.

Dividend restriction
--------------------

Banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital levels and may
limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the subsidiary bank to the
holding company or by the holding company to stockholders.

Fair value of financial instruments
-----------------------------------

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market
information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note.
Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment
regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors,
especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in
assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Loss contingencies
------------------

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is
probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management
does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on
the financial statements.

Comprehensive income
--------------------

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income
elements, including the change in unrealized gains and losses on securities
available-for-sale, net of tax.

Operating segments
------------------

Internal financial information is primarily reported and aggregated in the
following lines of business: banking, mortgage banking, financial services, and
other. The merger between the Company and the former Centrue Financial
Corporation (see Note 23) became effective on November, 13, 2006 and as such,
the results for the former Centrue Bank are presented as a stand alone segment
since its operations were not yet integrated at year end 2006. Comparable
discrete financial information is not available for the acquired entity on the
same reporting basis as the Company (e.g. the former UnionBancorp, Inc.).

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were
reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Adoption of new accounting standards
------------------------------------

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-based Payment. See "Stock Compensation"
above for further discussion of the effect of adopting this standard.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R). This Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or
underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet, beginning
with year end 2006, and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in
which the changes occur through comprehensive income beginning in 2007.
Additionally, defined benefit plan assets and obligations are to be measured as
of the date of the employer's fiscal year-end, starting in 2008. Adoption of
this statement was not material to the consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements
when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108),
which is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. SAB
108 provides guidance on how the effects of prior-year uncorrected financial
statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year
misstatement. SAB 108 requires public companies to quantify misstatements using
both an income statement (rollover) and balance sheet (iron curtain) approach
and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all
relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. If
prior year errors that had been previously considered immaterial now are
considered material based on either approach, no restatement is required so long
as management properly applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and
circumstances were considered. Adjustments considered immaterial in prior years
under the method previously used, but now considered material under the dual
approach required by SAB 108, are to be recorded upon initial adoption of SAB
108. The amount so recorded is shown as a cumulative effect adjustment is
recorded in opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SAB
108 had no effect on the Company's financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 2006.

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment to FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.
This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial
instruments, clarifies which instruments are subject to the requirements of
Statement No. 133, and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in
securitized financial assets and other items. The new standard is effective for
financial assets acquired or issued after the beginning of the entity's first
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Adoption of this statement on
January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement provides
the following: 1) revised guidance on when a servicing asset and servicing
liability should be recognized; 2) requires all separately recognized servicing
assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if
practicable; 3) permits an entity to elect to measure servicing assets and
servicing liabilities at fair value each reporting date and report changes in
fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur; 4) upon initial
adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities
to trading securities for securities which are identified as offsetting the
entity's exposure to changes in the fair value of servicing assets or
liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and 5)
requires separate presentation

of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair
value in the statement of financial position and additional footnote
disclosures. This standard is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first
fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 with the effects of initial
adoption being reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.
Adoption of this statement on January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretaion No. 48, Accounting for
uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Adoption of this statement
on January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5,
Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance - Determining the Amount That Could
Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for
Purchases of Life Insurance). This issue requires that a policyholder consider
contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that
could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the
contract provides for a greater surrender value be determined based on the
assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the
issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the
policy holder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy.
This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006.
Adoption of this issue on January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.
This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement
establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair
value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on
the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation
of the impact of the adoption of this standard.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4,
Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of
Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a
liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life
insurance agreement continues after participants' employment or retirement. The
required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit
cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit
depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company has
not completed its evaluation of the impact of adoption of EITF 06-4.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on
a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic and market concerns warrant
such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to
which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and
near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to
retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for
any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer's financial
condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the
federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies
have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer's financial condition.
The unrealized losses on all securities have not been recognized into income
because the securities are of high credit quality and management has the intent
and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and the decline in fair value is
largely due to increases in market interest rates.

In November, the Company completed its merger with the former Centrue Financial
Corporation. As part of this merger, the Company's loan portfolio increased by
$436,460 and the allowance for loan losses increased $4,768. Within the loans
acquired were nonaccrual loans of $10,230. The increase in impaired loans with
no allocated allowance is a direct result of the loans acquired in the merger
being recorded upon acquisition at their fair value.

In November, 2006, the Company merged with the former Centrue Financial
Corporation. As part of this merger, the Company recorded $1,300 of mortgage
servicing rights at the fair market value on the date of the merger and added
$139,167 of loan balances to its servicing portfolio.

Management periodically evaluates assets for impairment. For purposed of
measuring impairment, servicing assets are stratified by loan type. An
impairment is recognized if the carrying value of servicing assets exceeds the
fair value of the stratum. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing
rights was $3,700 and $2,500 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Fair
value was determined using discount rates ranging from 9.77% to 10.27%,
prepayment speeds ranging from 15.35% to 16.22%, depending on the stratification
of the specific right.

Estimated amortization expense for each of the next five years:

Note 7.  Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill initially recorded is subject to the completion of the valuation of
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Purchase accounting adjustments are the
adjustments to the initial goodwill recorded at the time an acquisition is
completed. Such adjustments generally consist of adjustments to the assigned
fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulting from the
completion of appraisals or other valuations and adjustments to initial
estimates recorded for transaction costs or exit liabilities. Goodwill is not
amortized but is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis. The
Company's annual goodwill impairment test determined no impairment existed at
that date.

The change in balance of goodwill during the year is as follows:

Note 10 - Subordinated Debentures

As part of the merger, the Company acquired two trust preferred issuances. These
were issued for $10,000 each in April 2002 and April 2004 in cumulative trust
preferred securities through newly formed special-purpose trusts, Kankakee
Capital Trust I (Trust I) and Centrue Statutory Trust II (Trust II). The
proceeds of the offerings were invested by the trusts in junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures of Trust I and Trust II totaling $20,620. Trust I
and Trust II are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and their sole assets
are the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. Distributions are
cumulative and are payable quarterly at a variable rate of 3.70% and 2.65% over
the LIBOR rate, respectively, (at a rate of 9.06% and 8.01% at December 31,
2006) per annum of the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per preferred
security. Interest expense on the trust preferred securities was $242 since the
date of the merger. The interest can be deferred at the option of the Company.
The obligations of the trust are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a
subordinated basis, by the Company. The trust preferred securities for Trust I
are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the debentures on April 7, 2032,
or to the extent of any earlier redemption of any debentures by the Company, and
are callable beginning April 7, 2007. The trust preferred securities for Trust
II are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the debentures on April 22,
2034, or to the extent of any earlier redemption of any debentures by the
Company, and are callable beginning April 22, 2009. Holders of the capital
securities have no voting rights, are unsecured, and rank junior in priority of
payment to all of the Company's indebtedness and senior to the Company's capital
stock. For regulatory purposes, the trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1
capital subject to certain provisions.

In accordance with FASB interpretation 46R, the trusts are not consolidated with
the Company's consolidated financial statements, but rather the subordinated
debentures are shown and a liability and the Company's investment in the common
stock for the trusts of $620 is included in other assets.

The December 31, 2006 deferred tax asset includes $3,827 of purchase accounting
and other merger related deferred tax assets transferred in as a result of the
Company's merger. The Federal net operating loss is related to the acquisition
of the Illinois Community Bancorp Inc. transaction. The NOL expires in 2021 thru
2024. The NOL can be used at a rate of $158,673 per year. Due to Section 382
limitations, any unused amounts that can not be used will expire. Thus, the
valuation allowance was established. See Note 23 for further information related
to the merger.

Note 13.  Benefit Plans

The Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("the Plan") covered all full-time
employees who had completed six months of service and have attained the minimum
age of twenty and one-half years. As of October 1, 2006, the Company terminated
this plan and began the process of distributing the assets of the plan to
participants. As of December 31, 2006, the Plan owned 304,732 shares of the
Company's common stock. All shares held by the Plan are allocated to plan
participants. The Company expenses all cash contributions made to the Plan.
Contributions were $165, $223, and $269, for the years ended December 31, 2006,
2005, and 2004.

The Company has a 401(k) salary reduction plan (the 401(k) plan) covering
substantially all employees. Eligible employees may elect to make tax deferred
contributions up to annual IRS contribution limits under the company safe harbor
plan status. In 2006, the Company contributed 4% of employee wages to all
eligible participants regardless of whether and to what extent the employee
elected a salary deferral. Contributions to the 401(k) plan are expensed
currently and approximated $427, $415 and $339 for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005, and 2004.

Note 14.  Stock Option Plans

In 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Option Plan. Under the 1999 Option Plan,
nonqualified options may be granted to employees and eligible directors of the
Company and its subsidiaries to common stock at 100% of the fair market value on
the date the option is granted. The Company has authorized 50,000 shares for
issuance under the 1999 Option Plan. During 1999, 40,750 of these shares were
granted and are 100% fully vested. The options have an exercise period of ten
years from the date of grant. There are 9,250 shares available to grant under
this plan.

In April 2003, the Company adopted the 2003 Option Plan. Under the 2003 Option
Plan, nonqualified options, incentive stock options, and/or stock appreciation
rights may be granted to employees and outside directors of the Company and its
subsidiaries to purchase the Company's common stock at an exercise price to be
determined by the 2003 Option Plan's administrative committee. Pursuant to the
2003 Option Plan, 200,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock have
been reserved and are available for issuance upon the exercise of options and
rights granted under the 2003 Option Plan. The options have an exercise period
of ten years from the date of grant. There are 85,000 shares available to grant
under this plan.

In addition to the Company plans described above, in conjunction with the merger
with Centrue Financial Corporation, all outstanding options at Centrue Financial
were converted into options to acquire Company common stock, as adjusted for the
exchange ratio. Following the merger, no additional options are issuable under
any of the previous Centrue plans.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a
closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions
noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical
volatilities of the Company's common stock. The Company uses historical data to
estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. (Employee and
management options are tracked separately.) The expected term of options granted
is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options
granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the
options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term
of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
the grant.

The fair value of options granted was determined using the following
weighted-average assumptions as of grant date:

                                          2006           2005           2004

  Risk-free interest rate                    5.14%          4.56%          3.32%
  Expected option life (years)                  6              5              5
  Expected stock price volatility           23.45%         23.45%         24.58%

Note 15.  Earnings Per Share

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for earnings per common
share computations for the years ended December 31 is presented below (shares in
thousands). The Convertible Preferred Stock is antidilutive for all years
presented and has not been included in the diluted earnings per share
calculation. In addition, options to purchase 244,200 shares, 60,000 shares and
40,000 shares of common stock were outstanding for 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share because the exercise price was greater than the average market price and,
therefore, were antidilutive.

Note 16.  Regulatory Matters

The Company and Centrue Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and
Centrue Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

and of Tier I capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31,
2006, that the Company and Centrue Bank meet all of the capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the corresponding
regulatory agency categorized Centrue Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, Centrue Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based,

Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following
table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management
believes have changed Centrue Bank's categories.

is limited to the current year's net profits, combined with the retained net
profits of the preceding two years subject to the capital requirements described
above. The Bank can declare dividends to the holding company to the extent its
2007 net income exceeds $955. However, based on the cash and liquid assets
available at the holding company these restrictions would not prohibit the
paying of dividends at historical levels.

Note 17.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as
follows:

The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and due from banks,
federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, accrued
interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable
rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values
are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if no such information is
available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the
issuer. The carrying value and fair value of the subordinated debentures issued
to capital trusts are estimated to be the same as the debentures all have
variable interest rates. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate
loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, the fair value
is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the
estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated
using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. The fair
value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. The fair value of debt
and redeemable stock is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair
value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would
be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as
follows:

Note 17.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Company that are not defined as
financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as
property and equipment. Also, nonfinancial instruments typically not recognized
in financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the
above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings
power of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential of loan servicing rights,
the earnings potential of the trust operations, the trained work force, customer
goodwill, and similar items.

Note 18.  Commitments, Contingencies, and Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, there are various contingent liabilities
outstanding, such as claims and legal actions, which are not reflected in the
consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, no material
losses are anticipated as a result of these actions or claim.

Centrue Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement
in particular classes of financial instruments.

Centrue Bank's 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 written is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments. Centrue Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet
instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk
are as follows:

</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. For commitments to extend credit, Centrue
Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the
customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable;
inventory; property, plant, and equipment; and income producing commercial
properties.

Note 18.  Commitments, Contingencies, and Credit Risk (continued)

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Centrue Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk
involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that
involved in extending loan commitments to customers. The standby letters of
credit are unsecured.

The Company has employment agreements with certain executive officers and
certain other management personnel. These agreements generally continue until
terminated by the executive or the Company and provide for continued salary and
benefits to the executive under certain circumstances. The agreements provide
the employees with additional rights after a change of control of the Company
occurs.

The Company leases certain branch properties under operating leases. Rent
expense was $148, $190, and $196 for 2006, 2005 and 2004. Rent commitments,
before considering renewal options that generally are present, were as follows:

Note 19.  Condensed Financial Information - Parent Company Only

By regulation, Centrue Bank is prohibited from paying dividends that would
reduce regulatory capital below a specific percentage of assets without
regulatory approval. As a practical matter, dividend payments are restricted to
maintain prudent capital levels.

Note 21.  Segment Information

The Company's reporting was enhanced so that a line of business (LOB) reporting
structure was implemented as of January 1, 2005. In 2006 and 2005, the
reportable segments were determined by the products and services offered,
primarily distinguished between retail, commercial, treasury, wealth management,
and operations & other. Loans and deposits generate the revenues in the
commercial segments; deposits, loans, secondary mortgage sales and servicing
generates the revenue in the retail segment; investment income generates the
revenue in the treasury segment; brokerage and trust services generate the
revenue in the wealth management segment (formerly known as the Financial
Services segment); and holding company services and discontinued operations
associated with the sale of the insurance segment generate the revenue in the
operations & other segment. The "net allocations" line in 2006 and 2005
represents the allocation of the costs that are overhead being spread to the
specific segments. With the sale of the Insurance unit, the results for
Insurance were reclassified into the Operations & Other segment from the
Financial Services segment (which is now referred to as Wealth Management).

The merger became effective on November 13, 2006, and as such, the results for
the former Centrue Bank are presented as a stand alone segment since its
operations were not yet integrated at year end 2006. Comparable discrete
financial information is not available for the acquired entity on the same
reporting basis as the Company (e.g. the former UnionBancorp, Inc.).

Due to a change in the reporting systems, the 2004 data used to monitor segments
is determined by the products and services offered, primarily distinguished
between banking, mortgage banking, financial services, and other operations.
Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking segment;
insurance, brokerage, and trust in the financial services segment; and holding
company services are categorized as other. The accounting policies used with
respect to segment reporting are the same as those described in the summary of
significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1. Segment performance is
evaluated using net income.

Note 22.  Discontinued Operations

During 2006, the Company began evaluating whether strategically the Insurance
unit was in it's long-term goals. During the 3rd quarter of 2006, an opportunity
surfaced that management determined was the best strategic action plan. Thus,
the Company sold the Insurance unit of their Wealth Management segment to the
Phoenix Group for $1,200 and the deal closed on September 30, 2006. In
accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS 144") the results of operations of the insurance
division are reflected in the Company's statements of income for 2006 and 2005
as "discontinued operations." The loss on sale of the insurance unit of $452 and
related tax benefit of $175 are included in discontinued operations as of
December 31, 2006. Additionally, approximately $1,030

Note 23.  Business Combinations

On November 13, 2006, the Company (formerly known as UnionBancorp, Inc. now
known as Centrue Financial Corporation) merged with Centrue Financial
Corporation (former Centrue), parent of Centrue Bank with the Company being the
surviving entity in the merger. Operating results of former Centrue are included
in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. As a
result of this merger, the Company expects to further solidify its market share
in the northern and central Illinois markets, expand its customer base to
enhance deposit fee income, provide an opportunity to market additional products
and services to new customers and reduce operating costs through economies of
scale.

The aggregate purchase price was $49,316, $4 in cash and $49,312 in common
stock. The value of the 2,701 common shares issued was determined using the
market price multiplied by the exchange rate of 1.2. The purchase price resulted
in approximately $19,086 of goodwill, and $13,035 in core deposit and customer
relationship intangible. The intangible asset(s) will be amortized over 10
years, using an accelerated method. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead
it will be evaluated periodically each year for impairment.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
