ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Pinnacle Banc Group, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a multi-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act and is engaged in the business of banking through the ownership of subsidiary banks. At December 31, 1995 the Corporation had total consolidated assets of $818,697,000, total loans of $309,600,000, total deposits of $712,805,000, and total stockholders' equity of $78,961,000. The Corporation's principal office is 2215 York Road, Suite 208, Oak Brook, Illinois 60521. The Corporation has twelve banking locations in the metropolitan areas of Chicago and Quad-Cities, Illinois and Iowa.
The Corporation, formerly First Cicero Banc Corporation ("FCBC"), was organized under the laws of the State of Illinois on August 24, 1979 for the purpose of acquiring the First National Bank of Cicero (the "Cicero Bank"). On April 30, 1988, the Corporation merged (the "Merger") with First Harvey Banc Corporation ("FHBC"), parent company of First National Bank in Harvey (the "Harvey Bank"), and LaGrange Park Banc Corporation ("LPBC"), parent company of Bank of LaGrange Park (the "LaGrange Park Bank"). FHBC and LPBC were affiliated with FCBC through common ownership. In connection with the Merger, the name of the Corporation was changed to Pinnacle Banc Group, Inc.
Since the date of the merger, SBH Corp., parent company of Bank of Silvis (the "Silvis Bank"), was merged into the Corporation on September 29, 1989. The Berwyn National Bank (the "Berwyn Bank") was purchased on February 1, 1992. The Henry County Bank was purchased on March 27, 1992. Batavia Financial Corporation, parent company of Batavia Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Batavia Savings"), was merged into Pinnacle on December 31, 1992.
On December 7, 1992, the Silvis Bank merged with the Henry County Bank with the resultant bank named Pinnacle Bank of the Quad-Cities ("Quad-Cities Bank"). On July 9, 1993, the Cicero Bank, Harvey Bank and Berwyn Bank were merged with and into the LaGrange Park Bank with the resultant bank named the Pinnacle Bank. On January 6, 1995, Acorn Financial Corp ("AFC") and its subsidiary bank, Suburban Trust & Savings Bank ("STSB") were purchased. AFC was liquidated into the Corporation and concurrent with the liquidation, STSB was merged into Pinnacle Bank.
The Corporation owns 100% of the common stock of Pinnacle Bank, Quad-Cities Bank and Batavia Savings.
The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary banks. The major source of the Corporation's revenues is dividends from its subsidiary banks.
SUBSIDIARY BANKS
Pinnacle Bank and Quad-Cities Bank are full service commercial banks encompassing most of the usual functions of commercial and savings banking including commercial, consumer, and real estate lending; installment credit lending; collections; safe deposit operations; and other services tailored for individual customer needs. The banks also offer a full range of deposit services to individuals and businesses which include demand, savings and time deposits, as well as providing trust services to the customers. Pinnacle Bank provides nondeposit-based products, including mutual funds and annuities through affiliation with an independent broker.
Batavia Savings is a federally-chartered savings bank which is principally engaged in the business of attracting savings and other funds from the general public and investing these funds, principally by originating residential mortgage loans and investing in investment grade securities. In addition to residential mortgage loans, Batavia Savings makes commercial, consumer and installment loans. The bank offers a full range of deposit services including demand, savings and time deposits.
The Pinnacle Bank, a state banking corporation organized under the laws of Illinois, was formed on July 9, 1993 through the merger of the Cicero Bank, Harvey Bank and Berwyn Bank with and into the LaGrange Park Bank. The Cicero Bank was originally organized in 1921, the Harvey Bank in 1937, the Berwyn Bank in 1937 and the LaGrange Park Bank in 1962. The Bank's main office is located in Cicero, Illinois, with full service branches in Harvey, Berwyn, Oak Park, LaGrange Park and Westmont and limited service facilities in Cicero and North Riverside. At December 31, 1995, the Bank had total assets of $624 million.
The Quad-Cities Bank was organized as a state banking corporation with the name Bank of Silvis under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1950. On December 7, 1992, The Henry County Bank, organized as a state banking corporation under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1968, was merged with and into Bank of Silvis and the name of the merged entity was changed to Pinnacle Bank of the Quad- Cities. The Bank's main office is located in Silvis, Illinois, with a full service branch located in Green Rock, Illinois. Each community is part of the Quad-Cities area of Illinois and Iowa. As of December 31, 1995, the Bank had total assets of $106 million.
Batavia Savings was originally organized as an Illinois state chartered savings and loan association in 1909. The Bank converted to a federal mutual charter in 1983. The Bank amended its charter in August, 1990 in connection with the conversion from a mutual thrift to a federal stock savings bank and changed its name to Batavia Savings Bank, F.S.B. from Batavia Savings and Loan. The Bank's main office is located in Batavia, Illinois with a full service branch located in Elburn. Currently, Batavia Savings is leasing its previously owned branch in Elburn. A new Elburn branch, presently under construction, will open in the second or third quarter of 1996. As of December 31, 1995, the Bank had total assets of $67 million.
COMPETITION
Intense competition exists in all aspects of business in which the Corporation and its subsidiary banks are presently engaged, not only with other commercial banks and trust companies but also with thrifts, finance companies, personal loan companies, credit unions, leasing companies, money market mutual funds, investment firms, mortgage bankers, and other financial institutions serving the metropolitan areas of Chicago and the Quad-Cities.
Commercial and savings banks compete on the basis of price, including interest rates paid on deposits and charged on loans, convenience and quality of service. This competition includes banks which are many times larger than a banking subsidiary, including banks in the primary marketing areas of each subsidiary bank which have recently become affiliated through parent holding companies owning significantly larger banking institutions. Each subsidiary bank is encountering increased competition from non-bank financial institutions. Thrift deposits constitute a substantial portion of all financial institutions' deposits in Illinois. Thrifts are able to compete aggressively with commercial banks in the important area of consumer lending. Credit unions and small loan companies each are significant factors in the consumer loan market. Insurance companies, investment firms and retailers are all significant competitors for various types of business.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1995, the Corporation and its subsidiary banks employed 337 persons on a full-time equivalent basis.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
GENERAL. At the present time, various bills have been introduced in the United States Congress and the Illinois state legislature which could result in additional regulation of the business of the Corporation and any banks which are now or hereafter become affiliated with the Corporation. Future bills could also be introduced which could significantly affect the banking industry. It cannot be
predicted whether any such legislation will be adopted or how such adoption would affect the business of the Corporation or any banks so affiliated.
The following references to applicable statutes and regulations are brief summaries thereof which do not purport to be complete and which are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.
BANK HOLDING COMPANY. As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to the supervision of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). Bank holding companies are required to file with the Federal Reserve Board an annual report and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require. The Federal Reserve Board also makes periodic examinations of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. As a result of the Corporation's acquisition of Batavia Savings, the Corporation is also considered a diversified savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). As such, the Corporation is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. The Corporation is required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it could acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or acquire ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank other than a subsidiary bank of the Corporation, if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. The BHC Act does not permit the Federal Reserve Board to approve the acquisition by the Holding Company of any voting shares of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, any bank located outside of the State of Illinois, unless such acquisition is specifically authorized by the laws of the state in which such bank is located.
The BHC Act limits the activities which may be engaged in by any bank holding company and its subsidiaries to certain specified activities, including those activities which the Federal Reserve Board may find by order or regulation, to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company (such as the bank subsidiaries of the Corporation) are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities thereof, and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. Further, under the BHC Act and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.
BANKS. The operations of Pinnacle Bank and Quad-Cities Bank are subject to federal and state statutes and regulations applicable to banks chartered under the banking laws of the State of Illinois and to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The operations of Batavia Savings are subject to federal statutes and regulations applicable to thrifts chartered under the Banking laws of the United States and to regulation by the OTS. Batavia Savings is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.
The Federal Reserve System, the FDIC, the OTS and the State of Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies regularly examine, where applicable, such areas as reserves, loans, investments, management practices and other aspects of the banks' operations. These examinations are designed for the protection of the banks' depositors and not for its stockholders. In addition to these regular examinations, the banks must furnish periodic reports to the regulatory authorities containing a full and accurate statement of its affairs. As members of the FDIC, the banks' deposits are insured as provided by law. Effective January 1, 1993, a risk-based deposit insurance assessment program was placed into effect by the FDIC. Insurance premiums are to be determined based on the level of a bank's capital and supervisory evaluation. As of the current date, each of the Corporation's subsidiary banks were in the lowest premium assessment category.
Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern or restrict, among other things, the scope of a bank's business, the investments a bank may make, the reserves against deposits a bank must maintain, the loans a bank makes and the collateral it takes, the activities of a bank with respect to mergers and consolidations, and the establishment of branches. Each banking regulatory authority has the authority to prevent a bank from engaging in an unsafe or an unsound practice in conducting its business. The payment of dividends, depending upon the financial condition of a bank, could be deemed such a practice.
As subsidiary banks of a bank holding company, the subsidiary banks are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on any extensions of credit to the Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and on taking such stock or securities as collateral for loans. Federal statutes and Federal Reserve Board regulations also place certain limitations and reporting requirements on extensions of credit by a bank to principal stockholders of its parent holding company and to related interests of such principal stockholders. In addition, such legislation and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a principal stockholder of a holding company may obtain credit from banks with which the subsidiary bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
Furthermore, Federal statutes prohibit acquisition of "control" of a bank or bank holding company without prior notice to certain Federal bank regulators. "Control" is defined in certain cases as acquisition of as little as 5% of the outstanding shares. From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation have been proposed that could result in additional regulation of, and expansions or restrictions on, the business of the banks. It cannot be predicted whether any such legislation will be adopted or how such legislation would affect the business of the banks.
In 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA") was enacted into law. FDICIA provides for, among other things, the recapitalization of the FDIC Insurance Fund; enhanced federal supervision of depository institutions, including greater authority for the appointment of a conservator or receiver for undercapitalized institutions; the adoption of safety and soundness standards by the Federal banking regulators, on matters such as loan underwriting and documentation, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits; the establishment of risk-based deposit insurance premiums; liberalization of the qualified thrift lender test; greater restrictions on transactions with affiliates; mandated consumer protection disclosures with respect to deposit accounts; and expanded audit requirements including statements by management regarding internal controls and regulatory compliance.
GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICIES
The earnings of banks and bank holding companies are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities including the Federal Reserve Board which regulates the money supply. Among the methods employed by the Federal Reserve Board are open market operations in U. S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These methods are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial and savings banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

ITEM 3.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 17, 1994, a judgment in the amount of $2.3 million was entered in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court against Pinnacle Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The judgment is the result of a suit filed against the Bank by a trustee of a debtor in bankruptcy. The trustee claimed that the Bank honored overdrafts in the debtor's bank account without obtaining prior court approval. The Bank denied any liability on the basis that no court authorization is required for debtors who obtain unsecured credit in the ordinary course of business. The amount of the judgment represents the cumulative amount of all payments received by the Bank from the debtor to cover overdrafts. The largest outstanding overdraft as of the close of business on any day was $260,000. The judgment provides that the Bank will have an allowed claim in the bankruptcy proceeding upon its payment of the judgment. While the Bank appealed the decision in 1994, management, upon advice of legal counsel, settled the case for $1,275,000 on December 8, 1995.
The Corporation and the subsidiary banks are subject to other pending and threatened legal actions which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon the consultation of legal counsel, the disposition of all outstanding matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth the maturity distribution of the following categories of loans at December 31, 1995 in thousands.
Of the loans listed in the maturity schedule above, a total of $193,448 are due after one year; $174,498 of these loans have predetermined interest rates and $18,950 of these loans have floating interest rates.
COLLATERAL AND APPRAISAL GUIDELINES
Subsidiary banks of the Corporation make loans which are collateralized by different types of assets. A collateral guideline manual is maintained by each bank which details collateral requirements for any collateralized loan which a bank may make. The loan operations area has responsibility for monitoring all compliance with collateral requirements. Collateral requirements for the most commonly funded loans include an 85% - 95% (depending on maturity) loan-to-value ratio for loans secured by U. S. Government securities, 70% for NYSE traded stock, 65% for AMEX and 50% for all other common stocks, with the exception of control stocks which are not acceptable as collateral. Commercial loans for working capital can have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% against eligible accounts if secured by receivables, a maximum of 50% if secured by inventory and a maximum of 80% if secured by equipment. Real estate loans can have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% unless private mortgage insurance is provided for advances over 80%. Commercial real estate loans typically are funded at a lower loan-to value ratio and require the personal guarantee of the borrower(s). Home equity loans require a loan-to-value ratio of 80% of the appraised value less any debt.
Loans made by subsidiary banks of the Corporation which are collateralized by real estate require an appraisal prior to funding of the loan. These loans are reappraised when management believes that the financial condition or resources of the borrower have deteriorated or when the collectibility of the loan is in question. Loans collateralized by real estate are not necessarily reappraised on an annual or quarterly basis by policy; however, all loans secured by real estate, with immaterial exceptions, are made in the local market area served by Pinnacle subsidiaries and each of these areas is closely monitored by management for economic changes. A new appraisal is required for any loan which undergoes foreclosure or is transferred into other real estate owned. Updated appraisals on other real estate owned are completed as required by regulatory authorities, or if management believes a material change in the value of a property has taken place.
The current loan policies in effect for collateral and appraisals are similar and consistent with the policies in place in prior years.
RISK ELEMENTS
NONACCRUAL, PAST DUE, AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS. The following table represents information regarding the aggregate amount of nonaccrual, past due, and restructured loans in thousands:
A discussion regarding the nonperforming assets listed above is contained within the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the subsection "Provision for Loan Losses" on pages 26 through 28 of the Corporation's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders included as Exhibit 2.
LOAN CONCENTRATIONS. Loan concentrations are defined as amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities, which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial natural geographic concentration of credit risk exists within the Corporation's defined customer market areas. These geographic market areas include the Chicago metropolitan area and the Quad-Cities metropolitan area of Illinois and Iowa.
ADOPTION OF STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS "SFAS" NOS. 114 AND 118. Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", and its amendment No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure". There was no effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Corporation as a result of adopting these statements. No changes were required to the Corporation's accounting policies to loans, charge-offs, and interest income as a result of adopting these statements. Loans considered impaired under these statements include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and loans classified as at least doubtful under the Corporation's credit risk classification system. All of the Corporation's impaired loans are included in the nonperforming category.
NONACCRUAL LOAN POLICY. The Corporation follows banking regulatory guidelines with respect to classifying loans on a nonaccrual basis. Loans are placed on nonaccrual when the loan becomes past due over 90 days with no intervening activity or when the collection in full of interest and principal is doubtful. Thereafter, no interest is taken into income unless received in cash or until such time as the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay interest and principal.
IV. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE
Information required in this table is incorporated herein by reference to the 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders included as Exhibit 2. The information required is contained in Table 3, "Analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses" on page 27 of Exhibit 2, within the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations".
ALLOCATION OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Corporation's subsidiary banks do not allocate the allowance for loan losses by specific loan categories. However, bank disclosure guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission request management to allocate the total allowance for loan losses into certain categories. Accordingly, management has allocated the allowance for loan losses by loan category based on historical charge-off experience and management's evaluation of potential losses in the loan portfolio. The specific allocations are not intended to be indicative of future charge-offs. The unallocated portion of the
allowance for loan losses represents that portion of the allowance which has not been specifically allocated by the analysis performed. The percent of loans in each category to total loans and the allocation of the allowance for loan losses at December 31 of each year, in thousands, is as follows:
Management believes that the portfolio is well diversified and, to a large extent, secured without undue concentrations in any specific risk area. Control of loan quality is continually monitored by management. Management's system of review of the loan portfolio and the attendant determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is made up of a number of factors. The most significant part of the system is the independent credit review system which reviews all commercial credits in excess of $100,000 and all commercial real estate credits in excess of $250,000 on an annual basis at a minimum, with problem credits reviewed more often as necessary. An informed, judgmental determination is made of the risk associated with loans which have received low grades under the credit review system. This estimated risk is taken into account in determining the allowance for loan losses. In addition, the allowance includes a substantial reserve for coverage of unidentified risks.
In addition to the credit review system, on a quarterly basis an internal report provides an analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for management and the Board of Directors. This analysis focuses on allocations based on loan review ratings and historical charge-off and recovery data. Management also reviews the status of all watch list credits on a monthly basis. The process and the amount of the allowance and of the provision have also been subject to the review of external auditors and banking regulatory authorities, and management believes that it has an effective system of credit review assessment demonstrated by the fact that the Corporation has not recorded a significant loss that had not been previously identified as a watch list credit by the loan review process.
V. DEPOSITS
Reference is made to (I.) Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity for data regarding average daily deposits and rates paid thereon for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit, in denominations of $100,000 or more, by maturity, as of December 31, 1995 are shown below, in thousands.
VI. RETURN ON EQUITY AND ASSETS
The following table shows consolidated operating and capital ratios for years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The return on average assets and the return on average stockholders' equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by average assets or average stockholders' equity, respectively. The dividend payout ratio is calculated by dividing total dividends paid by net income.
VII. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
The following table shows the distribution of short-term borrowings and the weighted average interest rates thereon for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. Also provided is the maximum amount of short-term borrowings as well as weighted average interest rates for the same periods. Dollars are in thousands.
