As previously disclosed, following its acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies
in February 2002, Wintrust has undertaken an effort to migrate funds from the
money market mutual fund balances managed by WHAMC into deposit accounts of the
Wintrust Banks. Consistent with reasonable interest rate risk parameters, the
funds will generally be invested in excess loan production of the Banks as well
as other investments suitable for banks. As of June 30, 2002, $97.5 million had
migrated into an insured bank deposit product at the various Banks. The
migration of additional funds to the Banks is subject to the desire of the
customers to make the transition of their funds into FDIC insured bank accounts,
capital capacity of the Company and the availability of suitable investments in
which to deploy the funds. As of July 31, 2002, a total of approximately $150
million was resident in this account and Wintrust estimates that approximately
$200 to $300 million may migrate to the Banks by the end of 2002.

(7) LONG-TERM DEBT - TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
-------------------------------------------

The Company issued a total of $51.1 million of Trust Preferred Securities
through two separate issuances by Wintrust Capital Trust I and Wintrust Capital
Trust II ("Trusts"). The Trusts issued a total of $1,579,000 of common
securities, all of which are owned by the Company. The Trust Preferred
Securities represent preferred undivided beneficial interests in the assets of
the Trusts. The Trusts invested the proceeds from the issuances of the Trust
Preferred Securities and the common securities in Subordinated Debentures
("Debentures") issued by the Company, with the same maturities and fixed
interest rates as the Trust Preferred Securities. The Debentures are the sole
assets of the Trusts and are eliminated, along with the related income statement
effects, in the consolidated financial statements.

The composition of the Trust Preferred Securities as of June 30, 2002 (Dollars

===============
</TABLE>

The Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions on and payments upon
liquidation or redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities, in each case to the
extent of funds held by the Trusts. The Company and the Trusts believe that,
taken together, the obligations of the Company under the guarantees, the
subordinated debentures, and other related agreements provide, in the aggregate,
a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee, on a subordinated basis, of all
of the obligations of the Trusts under the Trust Preferred Securities. Subject
to certain limitations, the Company has the right to defer payment of interest
on the Debentures at any time, or from time to time, for a period not to exceed
20 consecutive quarters. The Trust Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory
redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Debentures at maturity or
their earlier redemption. The Debentures of the Trusts are redeemable in whole
or in part prior to maturity at anytime after the date shown above, and earlier
at the discretion of the Company if certain conditions are met, and, in any
event, only after the Company has obtained Federal Reserve approval, if then
required under applicable guidelines or regulations.

The Trust Preferred Securities, subject to certain limitations, qualify as Tier
1 capital of the Company for regulatory purposes. Interest expense on the Trust
Preferred Securities is deductible for tax purposes.

(9) SEGMENT INFORMATION
-------------------

The segment financial information provided in the following tables has been
derived from the internal profitability reporting system used by management to
monitor and manage the financial performance of the Company. The Company
evaluates segment performance based on after-tax profit or loss and other
appropriate profitability measures common to each segment. Certain indirect
expenses have been allocated based on actual volume measurements and other
criteria, as appropriate. Inter-segment revenue and transfers are generally
accounted for at current market prices. The other category, as shown in the
following table, reflects parent company information. The net interest income
and segment profit of the banking segment includes income and related interest
costs from portfolio loans that were purchased from the premium finance and
indirect auto segments. For purposes of internal segment profitability analysis,
management reviews the results of its premium finance and indirect auto segments
as if all loans originated and sold to the banking segment were retained within
that segment's operations, thereby causing the inter-segment elimination amounts
shown in the following table. The following table presents a summary of certain
operating information for each reportable segment for three months ended for the
periods shown:

(10) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
--------------------------------

The Company enters into certain derivative financial instruments as part of its
strategy to manage its exposure to market risk. Market risk is the possibility
that, due to changes in interest rates or other economic conditions, the
Company's net interest income will be adversely affected. The derivative
financial instruments that are currently being utilized by the Company to manage
this risk include interest rate cap and interest rate swap contracts. The
amounts potentially subject to market and credit risks are the streams of
interest payments under the contracts and not the notional principal amounts
used to express the volume of the transactions. On January 1, 2001, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), as amended by SFAS
137 and SFAS 138 (collectively referred to as SFAS 133).

As a result of the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company recognizes all derivative
financial instruments, such as interest rate cap and interest rate swap
agreements, in the consolidated financial statements at fair value regardless of
the purpose or intent for holding the instrument. Derivative financial
instruments are included in other assets or other liabilities, as appropriate,
on the Consolidated Statement of Condition. Changes in the fair value of
derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in income or
in shareholders' equity as a component of comprehensive income depending on
whether the derivative financial instrument qualifies for hedge accounting, and
if so, whether it qualifies as a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge. Generally,
changes in fair values of derivatives accounted for as fair value hedges are
recorded in income along with the portions of the changes in the fair values of
the hedged items that relate to the hedged risk(s). Changes in fair values of
derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the
extent they are effective hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income net
of deferred taxes. Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments
not qualifying as hedges are reported in income.

Derivative financial instruments owned by the Company on January 1, 2001 were
not designated as hedges in accordance with SFAS 133. As a result, the effect of
recording the derivative financial instruments at fair value upon adoption
resulted in a charge of $254,000 (net of tax) in the Consolidated Statement of
Income to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

During the first six months of 2002, $130 million notional principal amount of
interest rate cap contracts matured. At June 30, 2002, the Company had $125
million of notional principal amounts of interest rate caps with maturities
ranging from July 2002 to February 2003. These contracts were purchased to
mitigate the effect of rising rates on certain floating rate deposit products
and provide for the receipt of payments when the 91-day Treasury bill rate
exceeds the predetermined strike rates that range from 3.75% to 6.50%. The
payment amounts, if any, are determined and received on a monthly basis and are
recorded as an adjustment to net interest income.

At June 30, 2002, the Company had $25 million notional principal amount of an
interest rate swap contract maturing in February 2004. This contract effectively
converts a portion of the Company's floating-rate notes payable to a fixed-rate
basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest
expense.

The following table presents a summary of derivative instruments that were
outstanding as of the dates shown and whether the changes in fair values are
accounted for in the income statement (IS) or as other comprehensive income
(OCI):

</TABLE>

Periodically, the Company will sell options to a bank or dealer for the right to
purchase certain securities held within the Banks' investment portfolios. These
covered call option transactions are designed primarily to increase the total
return associated with holding these securities as earning assets. These
transactions do not qualify as hedges pursuant to SFAS 133 and, accordingly,
changes in fair values of these contracts are reported in other non-interest
income. The option premium income generated by these transactions is also
recognized as other non-interest income. There were no call options outstanding
as of June 30, 2002, December 31, 2001 or June 30, 2001, respectively.

(11)  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
---------------------

In February, 2002, Wintrust completed its acquisition of Wayne Hummer
Investments, LLC ("WHI" - including its wholly owned subsidiary, Focused
Investments LLC) and Wayne Hummer Management Company (subsequently renamed Wayne
Hummer Asset Management Company "WHAMC"). The results of the Wayne Hummer
Companies have been included in Wintrust's consolidated financial statements
only since the effective date (February 1, 2002) of the acquisition.

The acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies will augment fee-based revenue and
diversify Wintrust's revenue stream by adding brokerage services as well as
offering traditional banking products to the customers of the Wayne Hummer
Companies, thereby providing a more comprehensive menu of financial products and
services to the customers of Wintrust and the Wayne Hummer Companies.

The aggregate purchase price was $28 million consisting of $8 million in cash,
762,742 shares of Wintrust's common stock (then valued at $15 million) and $5
million of deferred cash payments to be made over a three-year period subsequent
to the closing date. Wintrust is obligated to pay additional consideration
contingent upon the attainment of certain performance measures over the next
five years. The additional consideration, if paid, will be recorded as
additional goodwill at its fair value when paid, or when the additional
consideration is deemed, beyond a reasonable doubt, to have been earned. The
value of Wintrust's common stock issued was determined based on the unweighted
average of the high and low sales prices of Wintrust's common stock on the
Nasdaq National Market for the 10 trading days ending on the second trading day
preceding the effective date of the acquisition. The Company recorded $15.1
million of goodwill and $1.4 million of finite-lived intangible assets related
to the customer list of WHAMC.

The following pro forma information reflects the Company's results of operations
for the periods shown as if the Wayne Hummer Companies would have been included
from the beginning of the periods shown. The Wintrust as reported results
include the results of the Wayne Hummer Companies since the effective date of

(12) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
------------------------------------

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"),
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
SFAS 141 also specifies the criteria for intangible assets acquired in a
purchase method business combination to be recognized and reported apart from
goodwill. SFAS 142 requires companies to no longer amortize goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but instead test these assets
for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142.
Under SFAS 142, intangible assets with definite useful lives continue to be
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated
residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the FASB's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144").

Wintrust adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. As of the
date of adoption, Wintrust had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $10.0
million, and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of
$109,000, all of which were subject to the transition provisions of SFAS 141 and
SFAS 142. As part of its adoption of SFAS 142, the Company has performed a
transitional impairment test on its goodwill assets, which indicated that no
impairment charge was required. In addition, no material reclassifications or
adjustments to the useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets were made as a
result of adopting the new guidance. The full impact of adopting SFAS 142 is
expected to result in an increase in net income of approximately $413,000, or
approximately $0.02 per diluted share, in 2002 as a result of Wintrust no longer
having to amortize goodwill against earnings.

- 13 -
Assuming  retroactive  adoption of SFAS 142, net income for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 increased as a result of ceasing amortization of goodwill. The
following table sets forth the reconcilement of net income and earnings per
share excluding goodwill amortization for the periods shown. The 2001 period is
presented on a pro forma basis excluding goodwill amortization:

At June 30, 2002 and 2001, Wintrust had $1.4 million and $143,000, respectively,
in unamortized finite-lived intangible assets. As a result of the acquisition of
WHAMC, $1.38 million was assigned to the customer list of WHAMC and is being
amortized over a 7-year period on an accelerated basis. Total amortization
expense associated with these intangible assets in the first six months of 2002
and 2001 was $117,000 and $34,000, respectively. Estimated amortization expense
on finite-lived intangible assets for the years ended 2002 through 2006 is as

(13)  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
--------------------------------

On January 1, 2002, Wintrust adopted SFAS 144, which superseded SFAS 121 and
provides a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of.
Although retaining many of the fundamental recognition and measurement
provisions of SFAS 121, the new rules significantly change the criteria that
would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale. SFAS 144 also
supersedes the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 30 with
regard to reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business and
requires expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be
displayed in discontinued operations in the period(s) in which the losses are
incurred (rather than as of the measurement date as presently required by APB
Opinion 30). In addition, more dispositions will qualify for discontinued
operations treatment in the income statement. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not
have a material impact on Wintrust's financial condition or results of
operations.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis of financial condition as of June 30,
2002, compared with December 31, 2001, and June 30, 2001, and the results of
operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited consolidated
financial statements and notes contained in this report. This discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and, as
such, future results could differ significantly from management's current
expectations. See the last section of this discussion for further information on
forward-looking statements.

On January 24, 2002, Wintrust's Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock
split of its common stock, effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend, paid on
March 14, 2002 to shareholders of record as of March 4, 2002. All historical
share data and per share amounts have been restated to reflect this split.



OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY

Wintrust's operating subsidiaries were organized within approximately the last
ten years. We have grown from $2.32 billion in total assets at June 30, 2001 to
$3.22 billion in total assets at June 30, 2002, an increase of 39%. The
historical financial performance of the Company has been affected by costs
associated with growing market share in deposits and loans, new banks and branch
facilities, and building an experienced management team. The Company's recent
financial performance generally reflects the improved profitability of our
operating subsidiaries, as they mature, offset by the costs of opening new banks
and branch facilities. The Company's experience has been that it generally takes
13 to 24 months for new banks to first achieve operational profitability
depending on the number and timing of branch facilities added.

The Banks began operations during the period indicated in the table below:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Operations opened in:

Barrington Bank................................................................................. December 1996
Crystal Lake Bank............................................................................... December 1997
Northbrook Bank................................................................................. November 2000
</TABLE>

Subsequent to these initial dates of operations, each of the Banks, except
Northbrook Bank, has established additional full-service banking facilities. As
of June 30, 2002, the Banks had 31 banking facilities. Since June 30, 2001,
Barrington Bank opened a branch facility in Hoffman Estates in September 2001,
Northbrook Bank opened its new permanent facility in December 2001 and Hinsdale
Bank opened a branch facility in Riverside in January 2002. In May 2002 Lake
Forest Bank opened a new branch in Highland Park. In June 2002 and July 2002 we
opened a new permanent facility for our Wauconda branch of Libertyville Bank and
our McHenry branch of Crystal Lake Bank, respectively. Construction is currently
underway on our South Libertyville branch of Libertyville Bank and our Skokie
branch of North Shore Community Bank. Additionally the Company has purchased
property for a permanent facility in Highland Park and has purchased property
for new facilities in Cary and Deerfield.

While committed to a continuing growth strategy, management's ongoing focus is
also to balance further asset growth with earnings growth by seeking to more
fully leverage the existing capacity within each of the Banks, FIFC, WHTC,
Tricom and the Wayne Hummer Companies. One aspect of this strategy is to
continue to pursue specialized earning asset niches in order to maintain the mix
of earning assets in higher-yielding loans as well as diversify the loan
portfolio. Another aspect of this strategy is a continued focus on less
aggressive deposit pricing at the Banks with significant market share and more
established customer bases.

- 16 -
On February 20, 2002, the Company  completed its acquisition of the Wayne Hummer
Companies, comprising Wayne Hummer Investments LLC ("WHI"), Wayne Hummer
Management Company (subsequently renamed Wayne Hummer Asset Management Company
"WHAMC") and Focused Investments LLC ("FI"), each based in the Chicago area.

WHI, established in 1931, has been providing a full-range of investment products
and services tailored to meet the specific needs of individual investors
throughout the country, primarily in the Midwest. WHI also operates an office in
Appleton, Wisconsin that opened in 1936. WHI has approximately 163 employees,
including over 40 active brokers, and is a member of the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities
Dealers. At June 30, 2002, the number of WHI client households was estimated to
be in excess of 20,000, with over $3.8 billion in customer assets in custody.
WHI's Appleton branch serves the greater Appleton area.

WHAMC, established in 1981, is the investment advisory affiliate of WHI and is
advisor to the Wayne Hummer family of mutual funds. The Wayne Hummer family of
funds includes the Wayne Hummer Growth Fund, the Wayne Hummer CorePortfolio
Fund, the Wayne Hummer Income Fund, and the Wayne Hummer Money Market Fund. With
assets under management in excess of $895 million, the investment management
group provides advisory services to individuals and institutions, municipal and
tax-exempt organizations, including approximately $488 million in the Wayne
Hummer Mutual Funds. Additionally, WHAMC also provides portfolio management and
continuous financial supervision for a wide-range of pension and profit sharing
plans. These defined portfolios are managed for public and private clients, bank
portfolios and trusts, endowments and foundations, and both taxable and
tax-deferred portfolios for individual investors. WHAMC manages over $400
million in these portfolios.

FI, a NASD member broker/dealer, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WHI and
provides a full range of investment services to clients through a network of
relationships with community-based financial institutions primarily in Illinois.

FIFC is the Company's most significant specialized earning asset niche,
originating approximately $1.3 billion in loan volume for the full year of 2001
and $837 million in the first six months of 2002. FIFC makes loans to businesses
to finance the insurance premiums they pay on their commercial insurance
policies. The loans are originated by FIFC working through independent medium
and large insurance agents and brokers located throughout the United States. The
insurance premiums financed are primarily for commercial customers' purchases of
liability, property and casualty and other commercial insurance. The majority of
these loans are purchased by the Banks in order to more fully utilize their
lending capacity. The Company began selling the excess of FIFC's originations
over the capacity to retain such loans within the Banks' loan portfolios during
the second quarter of 1999 to an unrelated third party with servicing retained.
In addition to recognizing gains on the sale of these receivables, the proceeds
provide the Company with additional liquidity. Consistent with the Company's
strategy to be asset-driven, it is probable that similar sales of these
receivables will occur in the future; however, future sales of these receivables
depends on the level of new volume growth in relation to the capacity to retain
such loans within the Banks' loan portfolios.

In October 1999, the Company acquired Tricom as part of its continuing strategy
to pursue specialized earning asset niches. Tricom is a Milwaukee-based company
that has been in business for more than ten years and specializes in providing
high yielding, short-term accounts receivable financing and value-added,
out-sourced administrative services, such as data processing of payrolls,
billing and cash management services, to the temporary staffing industry, with
clients throughout the United States. These receivables may involve greater
credit risks than generally associated with the loan portfolios of more
traditional community banks depending on the marketability of the collateral.
The principal source of repayments on the receivables are payments to borrowers
from their customers who are located throughout the United States. The Company
mitigates this risk by employing lockboxes and other cash management techniques
to protect their interests. By virtue of the Company's funding resources, this
acquisition has provided Tricom with additional capital necessary to expand its
financing services in a national market. Tricom's revenue principally consists
of interest income from financing activities and fee-based revenues from
administrative services. In addition to expanding the Company's earning asset
niches, this acquisition has added to the level of fee-based income.

In addition to the earning asset niches provided by the Company's non-bank
subsidiaries, several earning asset niches operate within the Banks, including
our indirect auto lending which we conduct through a division of Hinsdale Bank,
Lake Forest Bank's MMF Leasing Services equipment leasing division and
Barrington Bank's Community Advantage

- 17 -
program  that  provides  lending,   deposit  and  cash  management  services  to
condominium, homeowner and community associations. In addition, Hinsdale Bank's
mortgage warehouse lending program provides loan and deposit services to
mortgage brokerage companies located predominantly in the Chicago metropolitan
area, and Crystal Lake Bank has recently developed a specialty in small aircraft
lending. The Company plans to continue pursuing the development or acquisition
of other specialty lending businesses that generate assets suitable for bank
investment and/or secondary market sales. The Company is not pursuing growth in
the indirect auto segment, however, and anticipates that the indirect auto loan
portfolio will comprise a smaller portion of the net loan portfolio in the
future.

In September 1998, the Company formed a trust subsidiary originally named
Wintrust Asset Management Company, which was renamed in May 2002 to Wayne Hummer
Trust Company ("WHTC") to expand the trust and investment management services
that were previously provided through the trust department of Lake Forest Bank.
With a separately chartered trust subsidiary, the Company is better able to
offer trust and investment management services to all communities served by the
Banks. In addition to offering these services to existing bank customers at each
of the Banks, the Company believes WHTC can successfully compete for trust
business by targeting small to mid-size businesses and affluent individuals
whose needs command the personalized attention offered by WHTC's experienced
trust professionals. Services offered by WHTC typically include traditional
trust products and services, as well as investment management services.

The Company  analyzes its  performance on a net income basis in accordance  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as other
ratios such as the net overhead ratio, efficiency ratio and core net interest
margin. These performance measures are presented as supplemental information to
enhance the readers' understanding of, and highlight trends in, the Company's
financial results. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net
income and earnings per share as determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The calculations used by the
Company to derive core net interest margin, net overhead ratio and the
efficiency ratio may vary from, and not be comparable to, other companies.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 totaled $6.3 million, an
increase of $1.9 million, or 45%, over the $4.4 million recorded in the second
quarter of 2001. On a per share basis, net income for the second quarter of 2002
totaled $0.37 per diluted common share, a $0.05 per share, or 16%, increase as
compared to the 2001 second quarter total of $0.32 per diluted common share. The
lower growth rate in the earnings per share as compared to net income was
primarily due to the issuance of 1,488,750 additional shares of common stock in
June 2001, 762,742 shares issued in the February 2002 acquisition of the Wayne
Hummer Companies and the issuance of 1,185,000 additional shares of common stock
in June 2002. The return on average equity for the second quarter of 2002 stood
at 14.75%.

For the first six months of 2002, net income totaled $12.7 million, or $0.77 per
diluted common share, an increase of $4.4 million, or 53%, when compared to $8.3
million, or $0.61 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2001. Return
on average equity for the first six months of 2002 was 15.85% versus 15.81% for
the same period of 2001.

The results for the first six months of 2002 include pre-tax income of $1.25
million, or $754,000 after-tax, for a partial settlement related to the
non-recurring charge recorded in 2000. Excluding this settlement income, net
income in the first six months of 2002 was $11.9 million, or $0.72 per diluted
share. Included in the first six months of 2001 is a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting for interest rate caps resulting in an after-tax charge of
$254,000, or $0.02 per diluted share.

On February 20, 2002, Wintrust completed its acquisition of the Wayne Hummer
Companies. Accounted for as a purchase, the Wayne Hummer Companies results of
operations are included in Wintrust's year-to-date 2002 results only since the
effective date of the acquisition (February 1, 2002).


NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, which is the difference between interest income and fees on
earning assets and interest expense on deposits and borrowings, is the major
source of earnings for Wintrust. Tax-equivalent net interest income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 totaled $24.6 million, an increase of $6.4 million,
or 35%, as compared to the $18.2 million recorded in the same quarter of 2001.
Average loans in the second quarter of 2002 increased $483 million, or 28%, over
the second quarter of 2001. This growth helped offset the lower spreads as a
result of the eleven rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2001 totaling 475 basis
points.

Net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest income as a
percentage of the average earning assets during the period. For the second
quarter of 2002 the net interest margin was 3.56%, a decrease of three basis
points when compared to the net interest margin of 3.59% in the prior year
second quarter. This decline resulted primarily from the effects of continued
decreases during 2001 in short-term rates causing compression in the spread
between the rates on interest-bearing liabilities and the yields on earning
assets. Spread compression results when deposit rates cannot be reduced
commensurate with changes in market rates due to current low level of rates paid
on certain deposit accounts. The core net interest margin, which excludes the
interest expense related to Wintrust's Long-term Debt - Trust Preferred
Securities, was 3.74% for the second quarter of 2002, and decreased 10 basis
points when compared to the prior year second quarter's core margin of 3.84%. In
the absence of additional rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and a changing yield
curve, Wintrust's net interest margin improved by eight basis points when
compared to the first quarter of 2002. This improvement was a result of total
funding costs declining by 21 basis points while the yield on total earning
assets declined by nine basis points. Interest-bearing deposits accounted for
the majority of the decline in the cost of funding, decreasing by 20 basis
points from the first quarter of 2002.

The yield on total earning assets for the second quarter of 2002 was 6.47% as
compared to 8.19% in 2001, a decrease of 172 basis points resulting primarily
from the effect of decreases in general market rates on liquidity management
assets and loans. The other earning assets shown in the second quarter of 2002
reflect interest-bearing brokerage customer receivables and trading account
securities managed at the Wayne Hummer Companies. The yield on earning assets is
heavily dependent on the yield on loans since average loans comprised
approximately 80% of total average earning assets. The second quarter 2002 yield
on loans was 6.97%, a 175 basis point decrease when compared to the prior year
second quarter yield of 8.72%. The average prime lending rate was 4.75% during
the second quarter of 2002 versus 7.35% for the second quarter of 2001,
reflecting a decrease of 260 basis points. Wintrust's loan portfolio does not
re-price in a parallel fashion to decreases or increases in the prime rate due
to a portion of the portfolio being longer-term fixed rate loans.

The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2002 was
3.20%, compared to 5.02% in the second quarter of 2001, a decline of 182 basis
points. Interest-bearing deposits accounted for 87% of total interest-bearing
funding in the second quarter of 2002, compared to 95% in the same period of
2001. The rate paid on interest-bearing deposits averaged 3.02% for the second
quarter of 2002 versus 4.85% for the same quarter of 2001, a decrease of 183
basis points. During 2001, Wintrust initiated borrowing from the Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB"). The Company initially borrowed from the FHLB in the third
and fourth quarters of 2001 and borrowed an additional $50 million in the second
quarter of 2002. The increase in notes payable and other borrowings in the
second quarter of 2002 was a result of the funding at the Wayne Hummer Companies
for the brokerage customer receivables, additional funding required

- 21 -
for the purchase of the Wayne Hummer  Companies and borrowings  utilized to fund
the additional capital requirements of the Banks. The rate paid on Federal Home
Loan Bank advances, notes payable and other borrowings decreased 233 basis
points to 3.35% in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 5.68% in the second
quarter of 2001.

For the first six months of 2002, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled
$47.0 million and increased $11.3 million, or 32% over the $35.7 million
recorded in the same period in 2001. Growth in the Company's earning asset base
was the primary contributor to this increase, as year-to-date average loans
increased 29%.

The yield on total earning assets for the first six months of 2002 was 6.52% as
compared to 8.49% in 2001, a decrease of 197 basis points resulting primarily
from the effect of decreases in general market rates on liquidity management
assets and loans. The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the first
six months of 2002 was 3.30%, compared to 5.28% in the second quarter of 2001, a
decline of 198 basis points. The interest rate spread (difference between the
yield on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities)
remained stable in the first six months of 2002, increasing by one basis point
when compared to the first six months of 2001. The decline in the net interest
margin was mainly caused by a 12 basis point reduction in the contribution from
net free funds as the substitute value of these free funds fell by 198 basis
points in 2002.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002 non-interest income totaled $26.5 million
and increased $12.3 million, or 86%, over the same period last year. Significant
increases were realized in both the second quarter of 2002 and the first six
months of 2002 in trust, asset management and brokerage fees as a result of the
Wayne Hummer Companies acquisition which occurred during the first quarter of
2002.

Trust, asset management and brokerage fees are comprised of the asset management
revenue of Wayne Hummer Trust Company (name changed from Wintrust Asset
Management Company in May 2002) and the asset management fees, brokerage
commissions, trading commissions and insurance product commissions at the Wayne
Hummer Companies. The increase in this category, up $6.9 million over the second
quarter of 2001 and $11.0 million over the first six months of 2001, is
primarily attributable to the revenues from the Wayne Hummer Companies. Wintrust
is committed to growing the trust and investment business in order to better
service its customers and create a more diversified revenue stream. This
commitment is evidenced by the acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies.
Non-interest income comprised approximately 29% of total net revenues in the
second quarter of 2001. Primarily as a result of the Wayne Hummer Companies
acquisition, this has increased to approximately 36% for the second quarter of
2002.

Fees on mortgage loans sold include income from originating and selling
residential real estate loans into the secondary market. For the quarter ended
June 30, 2002, these fees totaled $1.9 million, a slight decrease of $14,000, or
1%, from the prior year second quarter and down slightly from the $2.0 million
recorded in the first quarter of 2002. Although they are a continuous source of
revenue, these fees have historically increased due to higher levels of mortgage
origination volumes, particularly refinancing activity, caused by the low level
of mortgage interest rates. It is possible that the levels of refinancing
activity may taper off for the remainder of 2002, barring any further reductions
in mortgage interest rates.

Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $753,000 for the second quarter of
2002, an increase of $147,000, or 24%, when compared to the same quarter of
2001. This increase was mainly due to a larger deposit base and a greater number
of accounts at the banking subsidiaries. The majority of deposit service charges
relates to customary fees on overdrawn accounts and returned items. The level of
service charges received is substantially below peer group levels, as management
believes in providing high quality service without encumbering that service with
numerous activity charges.

The administrative services revenue contributed by Tricom added $931,000 to
total non-interest income in the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of $190,000
from the second quarter of 2001 and an increase of $109,000 from the first
quarter of 2002. This revenue comprises income from administrative services,
such as data processing of payrolls, billing and cash management services, to
clients in the temporary staffing industry located throughout the United States.
The revenue growth at Tricom had stagnated in previous quarters due to the
general slowdown in the United States economy and the reduction in the placement
of temporary staffing individuals by Tricom's customers. This business segment
appears to be rebounding as exhibited by the higher levels of revenue recorded
by Tricom when compared to the first quarter of 2002. Tricom also earns interest
and fee income from providing short-term accounts receivable financing to this
same client base, which is included in the net interest income category.

Fees from covered call option transactions in the second quarter of 2002
decreased by $167,000 to $789,000, compared to $956,000 million in the same
quarter last year. On a year-to-date basis the Company has recognized $2.4
million in fees in 2002 compared to $2.3 million in 2001, an increase of
$54,000. During the first six months of 2002, call option contracts were written
against $864 million of underlying securities, compared to $531 million in the
first six months of last year. The same security may be included in this total
more than once to the extent that multiple call option contracts were written
against it if the initial call option contracts were not exercised. The Company
routinely enters into these transactions with the goal of enhancing its overall
return on its investment portfolio. In the first six months of both years, the
Company wrote call options against certain U.S. Treasury and agency securities
held in its portfolio for liquidity and other purposes for terms of less than
three months. There were no outstanding call options at June 30, 2002, December
31, 2001 or June 30, 2001.

As a result of continued strong loan originations of premium finance
receivables, Wintrust sold premium finance receivables to an unrelated third
party in the second quarter of 2002 and recognized gains of $828,000 related to
this activity on sales of $74.1 million of net receivables, compared with $1.4
million of recognized gains in the second

- 24 -
quarter of 2001 on sales of $71.7 million.  On a year-to-date basis, the Company
recognized gains of $1.6 million in 2002 on sales of $136.0 million, compared to
$2.4 million in 2001 on sales of $122.9 million. Recognized gains related to
this activity are significantly influenced by the spread between the net yield
on the loans sold and the rate, based on a fixed spread to LIBOR, passed on to
the purchaser. This spread ranged from 4.85% to 5.51% in the first six months of
2002 compared to a range of 5.96% to 6.54% in the same period last year. The net
yield on the loans sold and the rates passed on to the purchaser typically do
not react in a parallel fashion, therefore causing the spreads to vary from
period to period. The lower amount of gain recognized in the second quarter of
2002 compared to the prior year was influenced by lower spreads as well as
increased estimates of credit losses. During the first six months of 2002 credit
losses were estimated at 0.75%, compared to 0.25% in the first six months of
2001. The increase was a result of a higher level of charge-offs in recent
quarters in the overall premium finance receivables portfolio (see page 34
"Allowance for Loan Losses".) The lower gain recognized in 2002 was also
significantly influenced by a reduction in the number of months these loans are
estimated to be outstanding. This reduction was due to recent trends of early
pay-downs as the economy has weakened, insurance rates have escalated and
borrowers cancelled their existing insurance in favor of cheaper alternatives.
The average terms of the loans in the first six months of 2002 were estimated at
approximately 8 months compared to 9 months in the same period last year. The
applicable discount rate used in determining gains related to this activity was
unchanged from the discount rate used in 2001.

At June 30, 2002, premium finance loans sold and serviced for others for which
we retain a recourse obligation related to credit losses totaled approximately
$112.4 million. The recourse obligation is considered in computing the net gain
on the sale of the premium finance receivables. At June 30, 2002, the remaining
estimated recourse obligation carried in other liabilities is approximately
$504,000.

Credit losses incurred on loans sold are applied against the recourse obligation
liability that is established at the date of sale. Credit losses, net
recoveries, in the first six months of 2002 for premium finance receivables sold
and serviced for others totaled $10,000. Non-performing loans related to this
sold portfolio at June 30, 2002 were approximately $1.7 million, or 1.53%, of
the sold loans. Ultimate losses on premium finance loans are substantially less
than non-performing loans for the reason noted in the "Non-performing Premium
Finance Receivables" portion of the "Asset Quality" section of this report on
page 37.

Wintrust has a philosophy of maintaining its average loan-to-deposit ratio in
the range of 85-90%. During the second quarter of 2002, the ratio was
approximately 90%. Consistent with Wintrust's strategy to be asset-driven and
the desire to maintain our loan-to-deposit ratio in the aforementioned range, it
is probable that similar sales of premium finance receivables will occur in the
future.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 totaled $25.9 million and
increased $9.6 million, or 59%, from the second quarter 2001 total of $16.3
million. Operating expenses of the Wayne Hummer Companies and the continued
growth of the loan and deposit portfolios are the major causes for this
increase. Since June 30, 2001 total deposits and total loans have increased 27%
and 29%, respectively, requiring higher levels of staffing and other costs to
both attract and service the larger customer base. Excluding the impact of the
Wayne Hummer Companies, total non-interest expense increased $2.5 million, or
16%, when compared to the second quarter of 2001, well below the pace of the
balance sheet growth.

On a year-to-date basis non-interest expense totaled $48.6 million and increased
$16.3 million, or 51%, over the first six months of 2001. The Wayne Hummer
Companies contributed $11.9 million of this increase. The $4.4 million increase,
excluding the Wayne Hummer Companies, is predominantly due to a $2.8 million
increase in salaries and employee benefits costs and the higher general
operating costs associated with operating additional and larger banking offices.
Despite balance sheet growth in loans and deposits of near 30%, Wintrust's net
overhead ratio, excluding the impact of the Wayne Hummer Companies, decreased
from 1.68% for the first six months of 2001 to 1.49% for the comparable period
in 2002.

Salaries and employee benefits totaled $15.4 million for the second quarter of
2002, an increase of $6.7 million, or 76%, as compared to the prior year's
second quarter total of $8.7 million. This increase was primarily due to the
employee costs associated with the Wayne Hummer Companies, increases in salaries
and employee benefit costs as a result of continued growth and expansion of the
Banks and normal annual increases in salaries and the employee benefit costs.
Excluding the impact of the Wayne Hummer Companies, total salaries and employee
benefits expense increased $1.5

- 26 -
million,  or 18%,  when  compared  to the second  quarter of 2001 and  decreased
slightly by $59,000, or less than 1%, when compared to the first quarter of
2002.

Other categories of non-interest expense, such as occupancy costs, equipment
expense and data processing, also increased over the prior year second quarter
primarily due to the acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies.

Amortization expense related to goodwill and other intangibles totaled $100,000
for the second quarter of 2002, compared with $169,000 in the second quarter of
2001. See Note 12 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to the Company's
unaudited consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of
intangible amortization.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 versus $2.5 million for the same period of 2001. On a
year-to-date basis, income tax expense was $7.0 million in 2002 and $4.9 million
in 2001. The effective tax rate was 35.6% in the second quarter of 2002 and 36.4
% in the second quarter of 2001.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

As shown in Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the
Company's operations consist of five primary segments: banking, premium finance,
indirect auto, Tricom and trust/asset management/brokerage. The Company's
profitability is primarily dependent on the net interest income, provision for
loan losses, non-interest income and operating expenses of its banking segment.

For the second quarter of 2002, the banking segment's net interest income
totaled $22.8 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 33%, as compared to $17.1
million recorded in the same quarter of 2001. This increase was the direct
result of earning asset growth, particularly in the loan portfolio. The banking
segment's non-interest income totaled $3.9 million for the second quarter of
2002 and decreased $589,000, or 13%, when compared to the prior year quarterly
total of $4.5 million. Contributing to this decrease was a $167,000 decline in
fees from certain covered call option transactions, which are routinely entered
into to enhance the overall return on the investment portfolio. The banking
segment's after-tax profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, totaled $7.0
million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 44%, as compared to the prior year
quarterly total of $4.9 million. On a year-to-date basis, net interest income
totaled $43.5 million for the first six months of 2002, an increase of $10.0
million, or 30%, as compared to the $33.5 million recorded last year.
Non-interest income increased $541,000 to $9.4 million in the first six months
of 2002. This increase was due primarily to a $479,000 increase in fees on
mortgage loans sold resulting from higher levels of refinancing activity as well
as increased service charges on deposit accounts of $338,000 due to a larger
deposit base and a higher number of accounts at the banking subsidiaries. The
banking segment's after-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2002,
totaled $13.2 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 36%, as compared to the
prior year total of $9.7 million. The banking segment accounted for the majority
of the Company's total asset growth since June 30, 2001, increasing by $819
million.

Net interest income from the premium finance segment totaled $8.1 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2002, an increase of $1.6 million, or 24%, over the
$6.5 million recorded in the same quarter of 2001. This improvement was due to
an increase in average premium finance receivables of approximately 21% and
higher net spread contributions on these balances. Non-interest income for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $827,000 million, compared to $1.4
million in the same quarter of 2001. Gains from the sale of premium finance
receivables decreased by $621,000 compared to the same period last year.
After-tax profit for the premium finance segment totaled $3.3 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2002, and increased $624,000, or 23%, over the
same period of 2001. This increase was due to higher levels of premium finance
receivables created from targeted marketing programs and market increases in
insurance premiums charged by insurance carriers. On a year-to-date basis, net
interest income totaled $16.2 million for the first six months of 2002, an
increase of $3.7 million, or 30%, as compared to the $12.5 million recorded last
year. Non-interest income increased $495,000 to $2.8 million in the first six
months of 2002. The proceeds from a partial settlement during the first quarter
of 2002, related to the premium finance defalcation which occurred and was
recognized in 2000, of $1.25 million was offset by a decrease of $797,000 on
gains from the sale of premium finance receivables compared to the same period
last year. The premium finance segment's after-tax profit for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, totaled $7.4 million, an increase of $2.6 million, or 55%,
as compared to the prior year total of $4.8 million.

- 27 -
The indirect auto segment  recorded $2.0 million of net interest  income for the
second quarter of 2002, an increase of $424,000, or 26%, as compared to the 2001
quarterly total. Average outstanding loans decreased 3% in the second quarter of
2002, compared to the same quarter of 2001. After-tax segment profit totaled
$810,000 for the three-month period ended June 30 2002, an increase of $252,000,
or 45%, when compared to the same period of 2001. The increase in this segment's
profitability was caused mainly by lower variable rate funding costs in the
second quarter of 2002 contributing to the higher levels of net interest income.
On a year-to-date basis, net interest income totaled $4.0 million for the first
six months of 2002, an increase of $1.0 million, or 35%, as compared to the $3.0
million recorded last year. The indirect auto segment's after-tax profit for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $1.5 million, an increase of $606,000, or
65%, as compared to the prior year total of $932,000. Consistent with the
after-tax profit contribution in the second quarter of 2002, year-to-date
profitability was positively impacted due to lower variable rate funding costs.

The Tricom segment data reflects the net interest income, non-interest income
and segment profit associated with short-term accounts receivable financing and
value-added out-sourced administrative services, such as data processing of
payrolls, billing and cash management services, that Tricom provides to its
clients in the temporary staffing industry. The Tricom segment reported net
interest income of $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2002, an increase of
$120,000, or 12%, compared to $965,000 reported in the same period of 2001.
Non-interest income was $933,000 in the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of
$167,000, or 15%, compared to $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2001. This
represents the first quarter of increased non-interest revenue from this segment
after three consecutive quarters of declines. The segment's after-tax profit was
$486,000 in the second quarter of 2002, an increase of $163,000, or 51%, as
compared to the prior year second quarter of $323,000. On a year-to-date basis,
net interest income totaled $2.0 million for the first six months of 2002, an
increase of $149,000, or 8%, as compared to the $1.8 million recorded in the
first six months of 2001. Non-interest income decreased $388,000 to $1.8 million
in the first six months of 2002. The Tricom segment's after-tax profit for the
six months ended June 30, 2002, totaled $757,000, an increase of $155,000, or
26%, as compared to $602,000 in the first six months of 2001. As discussed in
Note 12 - Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to the Company's unaudited
consolidated financial statements, Tricom benefited from the adoption of SFAS
142. Ceasing amortization of goodwill contributed $86,000 to the segment's
after-tax profit in the second quarter of 2002 and $172,000 to the segment's
year-to-date 2002 after-tax profits.

The trust, asset management and brokerage segment reported net interest income
of $722,000 for the second quarter of 2002 and $186,000 for the same period last
year. The net interest income reported is due to an increase in the segment's
earning assets, primarily the interest-bearing brokerage customer receivables at
WHI, as well as the net interest allocated to the segment from account balances
on deposit at the Banks. This segment recorded non-interest income of $7.6
million for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $523,000 for the same
quarter of 2001, an increase of $7.1 million. The increase is attributable to
the revenues from the Wayne Hummer Companies. Wintrust is committed to growing
the trust and investment business in order to better service its customers and
create a more diversified revenue stream. The trust, asset management and
brokerage segment's after-tax loss totaled $87,000 for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2002, as compared to an after-tax loss of $108,000 for the same
period of 2001. On a year-to-date basis, net interest income totaled $1.3
million for the first six months of 2002, an increase of $958,000, or 272%, as
compared to the $352,000 recorded last year. Non-interest income increased $11.3
million to $12.3 million in the first six months of 2002. The increase is
attributable to the revenues from the Wayne Hummer Companies. This segment's
after-tax loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002, totaled $229,000, an
improvement of $75,000, or 25%, as compared to the prior year loss of $304,000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $3.22 billion at June 30, 2002, an increase of $897 million,
or 39%, over $2.32 billion at June 30, 2001, and $514 million, or 38% on an
annualized basis, over $2.71 billion at December 31, 2001. Growth at the newer
Banks and branches along with market share increases at the more mature Banks
and the addition of the Wayne Hummer Companies were the primary factors for the
increases since year-end, adding $420 million and $94 million in total assets,
respectively. Total funding, which includes retail deposits, wholesale
borrowings and Long-term Debt-Trust Preferred Securities, was $2.93 billion at
June 30, 2002, and increased $783 million, or 36%, over the June 30, 2001
reported amounts, and $400 million, or 32% on an annualized basis, since
December 31, 2001. The increased funding was primarily utilized to fund growth
in the loan portfolio of $522 million since June 30, 2001 and $290 million since
year-end. See Notes 3-7 of the Company's unaudited consolidated financial
statements on pages 6-8 for additional period-end detail.

Average earning assets for the second quarter of 2002, increased $169 million,
or 26% on an annualized basis, over the first quarter of 2002. The ratio of
average earning assets as a percent of total average assets remained consistent
at approximately 92% - 93% as of each reporting period date shown in the above
table.

Loan growth continued to fuel the Company's earning asset growth in the second
quarter of 2002. Total average loans increased by $117 million over the previous
quarter. Commercial and commercial real estate loans grew on average by 31%,
home equity by 45% and premium finance receivables by 23%, all on an annualized
basis, over the first quarter of 2002.

Average earning assets for the second quarter of 2002, increased $736 million,
or 36%, over the year-earlier second quarter. Average loans accounted for $483
million of the total average earning asset growth. Average other earning assets,
comprising the trading account securities and brokerage customer receivables as
a result of the acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies, contributed $71
million to total average earning asset growth.

In the normal course of business, Wayne Hummer Investments, LLC ("WHI")
activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various
securities transactions. These activities may expose WHI to risk in the event
the customer is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. WHI maintains
cash and margin accounts for its customers generally located in the Chicago,
Illinois and Appleton, Wisconsin metropolitan areas of the Midwest.

WHI's customer securities activities are transacted on either a cash or margin
basis. In margin transactions, WHI extends credit to its customers, subject to
various regulatory and internal margin requirements, collateralized by cash and
securities in customer's accounts. In connection with these activities, WHI
executes and clears customer transactions relating to the sale of securities not
yet purchased, substantially all of which are transacted on a margin basis
subject to individual exchange regulations. Such transactions may expose WHI to
off-balance-sheet risk, particularly in volatile trading markets, in the event
margin requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses that customers may
incur. In the event the customer fails to satisfy its obligations, WHI may be
required to purchase or sell financial instruments at

- 29 -
prevailing  market prices to fulfill the  customer's  obligations.  WHI seeks to
control the risks associated with its customers' activities by requiring
customers to maintain margin collateral in compliance with various regulatory
and internal guidelines. WHI monitors required margin levels daily and, pursuant
to such guidelines, requires the customer to deposit additional collateral or to
reduce positions when necessary.

WHI's customer financing and securities settlement activities require WHI to
pledge customer securities as collateral in support of various secured financing
sources such as bank loans and securities loaned. In the event the counterparty
is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return customer securities
pledged as collateral, WHI may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the
securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its customer
obligations. WHI attempts to control this risk by monitoring the market value of
securities pledged on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of collateral
levels in the event of excess market exposure. In addition, WHI establishes
credit limits for such activities and monitors compliance on a daily basis.

total average earning assets as a percent of year-to date total average assets
remained stable at approximately 92% to 93% for each reporting period shown in
the above table, consistent with this ratio on a quarterly basis. Loan growth
has fueled the Company's year-to-date total earning asset growth in 2002. Total
average loans increased by $488 million in the second quarter of 2002 over the
previous quarter. Commercial and commercial real estate loans grew on average by
44%, home equity by 55% and premium finance receivables by 20% in the first six

</TABLE>


The percentage mix of average deposits for the first quarter of 2002 was
relatively consistent with the deposit mix as of the prior period dates
presented. Growth in both the number of accounts and balances has been primarily
the result of newer bank and branch growth, and continued marketing efforts at
the more established Banks to create additional deposit market share.

As previously disclosed, following its acquisition of the Wayne Hummer Companies
in February 2002, Wintrust has undertaken efforts to migrate funds from the
money market mutual fund balances managed by Wayne Hummer Asset Management
Company into deposit accounts of the Wintrust Banks ("Brokerage customer
deposits" in table above). Consistent with reasonable interest rate risk
parameters, the funds will generally be invested in excess loan production of
the Banks as well as other investments suitable for banks. As of June 30, 2002,
$97.5 million had migrated into an insured bank deposit product at the various
Banks. The migration of additional funds to the Banks is subject to the desire
of the customers to make the transition of their funds into FDIC insured bank
accounts, capital capacity of the Company and the availability of suitable
investments in which to deploy the funds. As of July 31, 2002, a total of
approximately $150 million was resident in this account and Wintrust estimates
that approximately $200 to $300 million may migrate to the Banks by the end of
2002.



OTHER FUNDING SOURCES

Although deposits are the Company's main source of funding its interest-earning
asset growth, the Company's ability to manage the types and terms of deposits is
somewhat limited by customer preferences and market competition. As a result,
the Company uses several other funding sources to support its interest-earning
asset growth. These sources include short-term borrowings, notes payable, FHLB
advances, trust preferred securities, the issuance of equity securities as well
as the retention of earnings.

Average total interest-bearing funding, from sources other than deposits and
including trust preferred securities, increased by $60 million in the second
quarter of 2002 to $321 million, compared to the first quarter of 2002 average
balance of $261 million. These funding sources increased by $223 million
compared to the second quarter of 2001 average total balance of $98 million.

The Wayne Hummer Companies borrowings consist of demand obligations to third
party banks primarily collateralized with customer assets at interest rates
approximating the fed funds rate that are used to finance securities purchased
by customers on margin and securities owned by WHI and demand obligations to
brokers and clearing organizations at rates approximating fed funds. The
increase in the average balance in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the
first quarter of 2002 is a result of the amounts being included in the Company's
results for the full quarter.

During 2001, Wintrust initiated borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB"). The Company initially borrowed from the FHLB in the third and fourth
quarters of 2001 and borrowed an additional $50 million in the second quarter of
2002 as part of the Company's interest rate risk management.

Other represents the Company's interest-bearing deferred portion of the purchase
price of the Wayne Hummer Companies.


SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Total shareholders' equity was $206.0 million at June 30, 2002 and increased
$73.0 million since June 30, 2001 and $64.7 million since the end of 2001. The
increase from year-end was the result of the Company's issuance of 762,742
shares, or $15.0 million, of its common stock in the acquisition of the Wayne
Hummer Companies, issuance of 1,185,000 shares of common stock through a public
offering completed in June 2002, realizing net proceeds in the second quarter of
approximately $31.7 million, net income of $12.7 million, $5.4 million of
proceeds from the issuance of the Company's common stock for stock options,
warrants, employee stock purchase plan and director compensation plan, a
$847,000 decrease in the unrealized loss on securities and derivative financial
instruments offset by $875,000 of cash dividends paid on the Company's common
stock. The annualized return on average equity for the six months ended June 30,
2002 increased to 15.85% as compared to 15.81% for the first six months of 2001.

On June 14, 2002 Wintrust announced the closing of an underwritten offering of
1,185,000 shares of common stock at a price of $28.70 per share. Wintrust sold
all 1,185,000 shares of common stock. In connection with the offering, Wintrust
granted the underwriters of the offering a 30-day over-allotment option to
purchase up to an additional 177,750 shares, which was exercised and closed in
July, 2002. Net proceeds to the Company, including the over-allotment option and
after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses, were
approximately $36.5 million. The net proceeds of this offering will be used to
increase the capital at our existing Banks, to pursue growth opportunities
(internal, additional de novo locations and possible acquisitions) and for
general corporate purposes.

The Company attempts to maintain an efficient capital structure in order to
provide higher returns on equity. Additional capital is required from time to
time, however, to support the growth of the organization. The issuance of
additional common stock, additional trust preferred securities or subordinated
debt are the primary forms of capital that are considered as the Company
evaluates its capital position.

On January 24, 2002, Wintrust declared a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.06 per
common share. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company declared
a semi-annual cash dividend of $0.06 per common share, payable August 20, 2002
to shareholders of record on August 6, 2002. Both 2002 semi-annual dividends
represent a 29% increase over the comparable dividends per share paid in 2001.

The Company has repurchased no shares of the Company's common stock since the
third quarter of 2000.

Management believes that the loan portfolio is well diversified and well
secured, without undue concentration in any specific risk area. Loan quality is
continually monitored by management and is reviewed by the Banks' Boards of
Directors and their Credit Committees on a monthly basis. Independent external
review of the loan portfolio is provided by the examinations conducted by
regulatory authorities and an independent loan review performed by an entity
engaged by the Board of Directors. The amount of additions to the allowance for
loan losses, which is charged to earnings through

the provision for loan losses, is determined based on management's assessment of
the adequacy of the allowance for loans losses. Management evaluates on a
quarterly basis a variety of factors, including actual charge-offs during the
year, historical loss experience, delinquent and other potential problem loans,
and economic conditions and trends in the market area in assessing the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses.

The provision for loan losses totaled $2.5 million for the second quarter of
2002, an increase of $219,000 from a year earlier. For the quarter ended June
30, 2002, net charge-offs totaled $1.2 million, unchanged from the $1.2 million
of net charge-offs recorded in the same period of 2001. On a ratio basis,
annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans decreased to 0.21%
in the second quarter of 2002 from 0.28% in the same period in 2001.

On a year-to-date basis, the provision for loan losses totaled $4.8 million for
the first six months of 2002, an increase of $929,000 over the same period last
year. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2002 increased slightly to
$2.5 million, a $284,000 or 13% increase over the $2.2 million recorded in the
same period last year. On a ratio basis, annualized net charge-offs as a
percentage of average loans decreased to 0.24% for the first six months of 2002
from 0.27% in the first six months of 2001.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to cover losses inherent in the portfolio and is based on an
assessment of individual problem loans, actual and anticipated loss experience
and other pertinent factors. The allowance for loan losses consists of an
allocated and unallocated component. The Company reviews potential problem loans
on a case-by-case basis to allocate a specific dollar amount of reserves,
whereas all other loans are reserved for based on assigned reserve percentages
evaluated by loan groupings. The loan groupings utilized by the Company are
commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, home equity,
premium finance receivables, indirect automobile, Tricom finance receivables and
consumer. The reserve percentages applied to these loan groups attempts to
account for the inherent risk in the portfolio based upon various factors
including industry concentration, geographical concentrations, local and
national economic indicators, levels of delinquencies, historical loss
experience, changes in trends in risk ratings assigned to loans, changes in
underwriting standards and other pertinent factors. The unallocated portion of
the allowance for loan losses reflects management's estimate of probable
inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in
economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable
information about a borrower's financial condition, the difficulty in
identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates,
and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation
factors. Management believes the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan
losses is necessary due to the imprecision inherent in estimating expected
future credit losses. The amount of future additions to the allowance for loan
losses will be dependent upon the economy, changes in real estate values,
interest rates, the regulatory environment, the level of past-due and
non-performing loans, and other factors. (See "Past Due Loans and Non-performing
Assets" below).

The increase in the allowance for loan losses of $2.3 million from December 31,
2001 to June 30, 2002 is primarily related to growth in the commercial and
commercial real estate portfolio of $126.5 million, or 25% on an annualized
basis, growth in the premium finance receivables portfolio of $111.4 million, or
65% on an annualized basis, and the increase in potential problem loans. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.69% at June 30,
2002 compared to 0.68% at June 30, 2001. The commercial and commercial real
estate portfolios and the premium finance portfolio have traditionally
experienced the highest levels of charge-offs by the Company, along with losses
related to the indirect automobile portfolio. The level of the allowance for
loan losses was not impacted significantly by changes in the amount or credit
risk associated with the indirect automobile loan portfolio as that portfolio
has declined by $354,000 from the prior year and the allocated loss has been
reduced due to improvement in the delinquencies, underwriting standards and
collection routines.

Non-performing Residential Real Estate, Commercial, Consumer and Other Loans

Total non-performing loans for Wintrust's residential real estate, commercial,
consumer and other loans were $3.0 million, unchanged from the $3.0 million
reported at March 31, 2002, but down from the $3.8 million reported at December
31, 2001. These loans consist primarily of a small number of commercial,
residential real estate and home equity loans, which management believes are
well secured and in the process of collection. The small number of such
non-performing loans allows management to monitor the status of these credits
and work with the borrowers to resolve these problems effectively.


Non-performing Premium Finance Receivables

The table below presents the level of non-performing premium finance receivables
as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the amount of net charge-offs for the six
months then ended.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
(Dollars in thousands) JUNE 30, 2002 June 30, 2001

<S> <C> <C>
Non-performing premium finance receivables $ 7,558 $ 9,374

- - annualized as a percent of premium finance receivables 0.82% 0.81%
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- -----------------------
</TABLE>


The improvement in the level of non-performing premium finance receivables since
June 30, 2001 is indicative of actions taken by management. As noted in
Wintrust's prior quarterly earnings releases in 2001, Wintrust has eliminated
more than 1,300 relationships with certain insurance agents that were referring
new business to our premium finance subsidiary that had relatively small
balances and higher than normal delinquency rates. The business associated with
those accounts has become a less significant percent of the entire portfolio and
is nearly extinguished. Management continues to see progress in this portfolio
and continues to expect the level of non-performing loans related to this
portfolio to remain at relatively low levels.

The ratio of non-performing premium finance receivables fluctuates throughout
the year due to the nature and timing of canceled account collections from
insurance carriers. Due to the nature of collateral for premium finance
receivables it customarily takes 60-150 days to convert the collateral into cash
collections. Accordingly, the level of non-performing premium finance
receivables is not necessarily indicative of the loss inherent in the portfolio.
In the event of default Wintrust has the power to cancel the insurance policy
and collect the unearned portion of the premium from the insurance carrier. In
the event of cancellation, the cash returned in payment of the unearned premium
by the insurer should generally be sufficient to cover the receivable balance,
the interest and other charges due. Due to notification requirements and
processing time by most insurance carriers, many receivables will become
delinquent beyond 90 days while the insurer is processing the return of the
unearned premium. Management continues to accrue interest until maturity as the
unearned premium is ordinarily sufficient to pay-off the outstanding balance and
contractual interest due.

Non-performing Indirect Automobile Loans

Total non-performing indirect automobile loans were $503,000 at June 30, 2002,
decreasing from $857,000 at December 31, 2001 and $646,000 at June 30, 2001. The
ratio of these non-performing loans to total indirect automobile loans decreased
to 0.27% of total indirect automobile loans at June 30, 2002 from 0.47% at
December 31, 2001 and 0.34% at June 30, 2001. As noted in the Allowance for Loan
Losses table, net charge-offs as a percent of total indirect automobile loans
has decreased from 0.36% in the second quarter of 2001 to 0.32% in the second
quarter of 2002. The level of non-performing and net charge-offs of indirect
automobile loans continues to be below standard industry ratios for this type of
lending. Due to the impact of the current economic and competitive environment
surrounding this type of lending, management continues to de-emphasize, in
relation to other loan categories, growth in the indirect automobile loan
portfolio. Indirect automobile loans at June 30, 2002 were $184 million,
unchanged from December 31, 2001 but down $6 million, or 3% from June 30, 2001.

- 37 -
Potential Problem Loans

The Company utilizes a loan rating system to assign risk to loans and utilizes
that risk rating system to assist in developing an internal problem loan
identification system ("Watch List") as a means of reporting non-performing and
potential problem loans. At each scheduled meeting of the Boards of Directors of
the Banks and the Wintrust Board, a Watch List is presented, showing all loans
that are non-performing and loans that may warrant additional monitoring.
Accordingly, in addition to those loans disclosed under "Past Due Loans and
Non-performing Assets," there are certain loans in the portfolio which
management has identified, through its Watch List, which exhibit a higher than
normal credit risk. However, these loans which the Company defines as "potential
problem loans", are still performing and, accordingly, are not included in
non-performing loans.

Management's philosophy is to be proactive and conservative in assigning risk
ratings to loans and identifying loans to be on the Watch List. As evidence of
this conservative posture, over 75% of all loans identified as potential problem
loans were current as to principal and interest at June 30, 2002.

Examples of these potential problem loans include certain loans that are in a
past-due status, loans with borrowers that have recent adverse operating cash
flow or balance sheet trends, or loans with general risk characteristics that
the loan officer feels might jeopardize the future timely collection of
principal and interest payments. Management's review of the total loan portfolio
to identify loans where there is concern that the borrower might not be able to
continue to satisfy present loan repayment terms includes factors such as review
of individual loans, recent loss experience and current economic conditions. The
principal amount of potential problem loans as of June 30, 2002 and December 31,
2001 was approximately $48.8 million and $23.8 million, respectively. In excess
of $38 million of the potential problem loans as of June 30, 2002 were current
as to principal and interest payments and, accordingly, we believe the loans
identified as potential problem loans to quite conservative in nature. The
increase in potential problem loans relates primarily to a few larger credits
that management believes have no current loss exposure but for which additional
proactive monitoring is prudent given the current economic and business climate.


LIQUIDITY

Wintrust manages the liquidity position of its banking operations to ensure that
sufficient funds are available to meet customers' needs for loans and deposit
withdrawals. The liquidity to meet the demand is provided by maturing assets,
sales of premium finance receivables, liquid assets that can be converted to
cash, and the ability to attract funds from external sources. Liquid assets
refer to federal funds sold and to marketable, unpledged securities, which can
be quickly sold without material loss of principal.

Please refer to the Interest-Earning Assets, Deposits, Other Funding Sources and
Shareholders' Equity discussions on pages 29-33 for additional information
regarding the Company's liquidity position.



INFLATION

A banking organization's assets and liabilities are primarily monetary. Changes
in the rate of inflation do not have as great an impact on the financial
condition of a bank as do changes in interest rates. Moreover, interest rates do
not necessarily change at the same percentage as does inflation. Accordingly,
changes in inflation are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
An analysis of the Company's asset and liability structure provides the best
indication of how the organization is positioned to respond to changing interest
rates. See "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks"
beginning on page 40.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. 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 invoking these safe harbor provisions. Such
forward-looking statements may be deemed to include, among other things,
statements relating to anticipated improvements in financial performance and
management's long-term performance goals, as well as statements relating to the
anticipated effects on results of operations and financial condition from
expected development or events, the Company's business and growth strategies,
including anticipated internal growth, plans to form additional de novo banks
and to open new branch offices, and to pursue additional potential development
or the acquisition of banks, specialty finance or fee-related businesses. Actual
results could differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking
statements as a result of numerous factors, including the following:

o The level of reported net income, return on average assets and return on
average equity for the Company will in the near term continue to be
impacted by start-up costs associated with de novo bank formations, branch
openings, and expanded trust and investment operations. De novo banks may
typically require 13 to 24 months of operations before becoming profitable,
due to the impact of organizational and overhead expenses, the start-up
phase of generating deposits and the time lag typically involved in
redeploying deposits into attractively priced loans and other higher
yielding earning assets.
o The Company's success to date has been and will continue to be strongly
influenced by its ability to attract and retain senior management
experienced in banking and financial services.
o Although management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to
absorb losses that may develop in the existing portfolio of loans and
leases, there can be no assurance that the allowance will prove sufficient
to cover actual future loan or lease losses.
o If market interest rates should move contrary to the Company's gap position
on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the "gap" will
work against the Company and its net interest income may be negatively
affected.
o The financial services business is highly competitive which may affect the
pricing of the Company's loan and deposit products as well as its services.
o The Company may not be able to successfully adapt to technological changes
to compete effectively in the marketplace.
o Future events may cause slower than anticipated development and growth of
the Tricom business should the temporary staffing industry experience
continued slowness.
o Changes in the economic environment, competition, or other factors, may
influence the anticipated growth rate of loans and deposits, the quality of
the loan portfolio and the pricing of loans and deposits and may affect the
Company's ability to successfully pursue acquisition and expansion
strategies.
o Unforeseen future events surrounding the trust, asset management and
brokerage business, including competition and related pricing of brokerage
and asset management products, or difficulties integrating the acquisition
of the Wayne Hummer Companies.

ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS


As a continuing part of its financial strategy, the Company attempts to manage
the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. This
effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate risk, credit
risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. Asset-liability management
policies are established and monitored by management in conjunction with the
boards of directors of the Banks, subject to general oversight by the Company's
Board of Directors. The policy establishes guidelines for acceptable limits on
the sensitivity of the market value of assets and liabilities to changes in
interest rates.

Interest rate risk arises when the maturity or repricing periods and interest
rate indices of the interest earning assets, interest bearing liabilities, and
derivative financial instruments are different. The Company continuously
monitors not only the organization's current net interest margin, but also the
historical trends of these margins. In addition, management attempts to identify
potential adverse swings in net interest income in future years, as a result of
interest rate movements, by performing simulation analysis of potential interest
rate environments. If a potential adverse swing in net interest margin and/or
net income is identified, management then would take appropriate actions with
its asset-liability structure to counter these potentially adverse situations.
Please refer to the "Net Interest Income" section for further discussion of the
net interest margin.

Since the Company's primary source of interest bearing liabilities is customer
deposits, the Company's ability to manage the types and terms of such deposits
may be somewhat limited by customer preferences and local competition in the
market areas in which the Company operates. The rates, terms and interest rate
indices of the Company's interest earning assets result primarily from the
Company's strategy of investing in loans and short-term securities that permit
the Company to limit its exposure to interest rate risk, together with credit
risk, while at the same time achieving an acceptable interest rate spread.

One method utilized by financial institutions to manage interest rate risk is to
enter into derivative financial instruments. A derivative financial instrument
includes interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors, futures, forwards,
option contracts and other financial instruments with similar characteristics.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company had $125 million notional principal amount of
interest rate cap contracts outstanding that mature between July 2002 and
February 2003. These contracts were purchased to mitigate the effect of rising
rates on certain floating rate deposit products. Additionally, during 2001, the
Company entered into a $25 million notional principal amount interest rate swap
contract that matures in February 2004. This contract effectively converts a
portion of the Company's floating-rate notes payable to a fixed-rate basis, thus
reducing the impact of rising interest rates on future interest expense.

During the first six months of 2002, the Company also entered into certain
covered call option transactions related to certain securities held by the
Company. These transactions are designed to increase the total return associated
with holding these securities as earning assets and are not used to manage
exposure to changing market interest rates. However, the Company's exposure to
interest rate risk may be effected by these transactions. To mitigate this risk,
the Company may acquire fixed rate term debt or use financial derivative
instruments. There were no call options outstanding as of June 30, 2002.

The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by
management and the boards of directors of the Banks and the Company. The
objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust balance
sheet and off-balance sheet instruments to minimize the inherent risk while at
the same time maximize income. Tools used by management include a standard gap
report and a rate simulation model whereby changes in net interest income are
measured in the event of various changes in interest rate indices. An
institution with more assets than liabilities repricing over a given time frame
is considered asset sensitive and will generally benefit from rising rates and
conversely, a higher level of repricing liabilities versus assets would be
beneficial in a declining rate environment.

- 40 -
Standard gap analysis starts with contractual  repricing information for assets,
liabilities and derivative financial instruments. These items are then combined
with repricing estimations for administered rate (NOW, savings and money market
accounts) and non-rate related products (demand deposit accounts, other assets,
other liabilities. The following table illustrates the Company's estimated
interest rate sensitivity and periodic and cumulative gap positions as of June
30, 2002:

While the gap position and related ratios illustrated in the table are useful
tools that management can use to assess the general positioning of the Company's
and its subsidiaries' balance sheets, it is only as of a point in time.
Additionally, the gap position does not reflect the impact of the interest rate
cap contracts that may mitigate the effect of rising rates on certain floating
rate deposit products. See Note 10-Derivative Financial Instruments to the
unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information on the
interest rate cap contracts.

- 41 -
Management uses an additional  measurement tool to evaluate its  asset-liability
sensitivity that determines exposure to changes in interest rates by measuring
the percentage change in net interest income due to changes in interest rates
over a two-year time horizon. Management measures its exposure to changes in
interest rates using many different interest rate scenarios. One interest rate
scenario utilized is to measure the percentage change in net interest income
assuming an immediate permanent parallel shift in the yield curve of 200 basis
points, both upward and downward. This analysis also includes the impact of both
interest rate cap agreements mentioned above. Utilizing this measurement
concept, the interest rate risk of the Company, expressed as a percentage change
in net interest income over a two-year time horizon due to changes in interest
rates as of the dates shown is as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
+ 200 BASIS - 200 BASIS
POINTS POINTS
--------------- --------------
<S> <C> <C>
Percentage change in net interest income due to an immediate permanent 200 basis point parallel
shift in the yield curve: (1)

December 31, 2001 7.2 % (11.4) %
June 30, 2001 4.7 % (7.0) %

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<FN>
(1) The June 30, 2002 and the December 31, 2001 200 basis point immediate
permanent downward parallel shift in the yield curve impacted a majority of
rate sensitive assets by the entire 200 basis points, while certain
interest-bearing deposits may already be at their floor, or reprice
significantly less than 200 basis points. This caused the results in a 200
basis point immediate permanent downward parallel shift in the yield curve,
to reflect a larger decrease in net interest income at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 compared to June 30, 2001.
</FN>
</TABLE>


These results are based solely on an immediate parallel shift in the yield curve
and do not reflect the net interest income sensitivity that may arise from other
factors, such as changes in the shape of the yield curve or the change in spread
between key market rates. No management actions to mitigate potential changes in
net interest income are included in this simulation. These management actions
could include, but would not be limited to, delaying a change in deposit rates,
extending the maturity of liabilities, the use of derivative financial
instruments, changing the pricing characteristics of loans or modifying the
growth rate of certain types of assets or liabilities.
