		  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


	In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary to present a 
fair statement of the results for the interim periods. All required 
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

	In May 1993 the FASB issued Statement No. 114, Accounting by 
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Statement No. 114 requires that impaired 
loans that are within the scope of this statement be measured based on the 
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective 
interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market 
price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. 
A loan is impaired when it is probable the creditor will be unable to collect 
all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the 
terms of the loan agreement. The Company adopted the statement January 1, 
1995. The FASB also issued FASB Statement No. 118 which amends certain 
provisions of FASB Statement No. 114 relating to income recognition and other 
required disclosures of impaired loans. The Company also adopted this 
statement January 1, 1995. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 and No. 118 did not 
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

	The accounting policies followed by the registrant are set forth in Note 
A to the registrant's financial statements in the 1994 First Banking Center, 
Inc. (the Company) annual report which is incorporated by reference herein 
(see exhibit A).

		    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
	      OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
			    As of March 31, 1995

      The following is a discussion of the financial condition,
changes in financial condition and results of operations of the
Company.

Financial Condition

     During the first three months of 1995, the Company's
stockholders' equity increased $1,006,000 or an annualized 19.3%.
At March 31, 1995, the Company had 5,316 shares of Treasury Stock
at an average cost of $10.02 per share.

     In December 1990, the Federal Reserve Board's risk-based
guidelines became effective.  Under these guidelines, capital is
measured against the Company's risk-adjusted assets.  Each asset on
the balance sheet, as well as a balance sheet equivalent amount of
contingent obligations that are off-balance sheet, is assigned a
risk weighing from zero to 100 percent.  The sum of the weighted
assets constitutes risk-adjusted assets.  The Company's tier 1
capital (common stockholders' equity less goodwill) to risk-
adjusted assets was approximately 14.55% at March 31, 1995, well
above the 4 percent minimum required.  Total capital to risk-
adjusted assets approximated 14.55%, also well above the minimum
requirement.

Asset Quality

     We continue our commitment to credit quality in 1995. Net
charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the first three
months of 1995 were .016%.  At March 31, 1995, non-performing
assets were $1,032,000 or .43%.  Non-performing assets consist
primarily of real estate loans.

     At March 31, 1995, the allowance for possible loan losses was
$2,156,000 or 1.35% of gross loans compared with $1,942,000 or
1.39% of gross loans at March 31, 1994.  Management considers the
allowance more than adequate to cover possible losses in the loan
portfolio.

Asset/Liability Management

     The principal function of asset/liability management is to
manage the balance sheet mix, maturities, repricing characteristics
and pricing components to provide an adequate and stable net
interest margin with an acceptable level of risk over time and
through interest rate cycles.

     Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those that are
subject to repricing within a specific relevant time horizon.  The
Company measures interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, and
their relationship with each other at terms of immediate, monthly
intervals up to 12 months, and over 1 year.





     Changes in net interest income, other than volume-related,
arise when interest rates on assets reprice in a time frame or
interest rate environment that is different from the repricing
period for liabilities.  Changes in net interest income also arise
from changes in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities.

     The Company's strategy with respect to asset/liability
management is to maximize net interest income while limiting our
exposure to a potential downward movement.  Strategy is implemented
by the Bank's management, which takes action based upon its
analysis of the Bank's present positioning, its desired future
positioning, economic forecasts and its goals.

Liquidity

     The liquidity position of the Company is managed to insure
that sufficient funds are available to meet customers' needs for
loans and deposit withdrawals.  Liquidity to meet demand is
provided by maintaining marketable investment securities and money
market assets such as Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks and
Federal Funds Sold. Other sources of liquidity include deposit
growth and short and long term borrowings.

     The loan to deposit ratio for the Company was 82.7% at March
31, 1995.

     Management is unaware of any recommendations by regulatory
authorities, known trends, events or uncertainties that will have
or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the
Company's liquidity.

Results of Operations for Three Months Ended March 1995 and 1994

Results of Operations Overview

     In the first three months of 1995 the Company reported
earnings of $666,000 an increase of $93,000 or 16.2% over the same
period in 1994.  The interest margin before allowance for loan
losses was $2,343,000 for the first three months of 1995 compared
to $2,005,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.

Interest Income

     Interest and fees on loans was $3,431,000 for the first three
months of 1995. This represents a increase of $586,000 or 20.5% in
comparison to the same period in 1994. The increase was the result
of an increase in rates charged on loans as well as an increase in
the balance of loans.

     Interest on deposits at other financial institutions decreased
$53,000 for the first three months of 1995 compared to the same
period in 1994. The decrease was the result of a decrease in
average balances.

     Interest on investment securities was $819,000 for the first
three months of 1995. This represents an increase of $131,000 or
19% over the same period in 1994. Income on Federal Funds Sold
increased by $27,000 or 112.5%.  The increase in investment income
is primarily due to an increase in interest rates.




Interest Expense

     Interest expense increased 353,000 or 21.6% during the first
three months of 1995. The increase in interest interest expense is
due to increased Interest-Bearing Deposits as well as increased
interest rates as compared to March 31, 1994.


Allowance for Loan Losses

     The Banks evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses based on an analysis of specific problem loans, as well as
on an aggregate basis.  Management reviews a calculation of the
allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis and feels that the
allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for potential
future losses.  The level of the allowance is based on management's
periodic and comprehensive evaluation of the loan portfolio,
including past loan loss experience; current and projected economic
trends; the volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio;
and other relevant factors.  Reports of examinations furnished by
State and federal banking authorities are also considered by
management in this regard.

     The Banks have established the allowance for loan losses to
reduce the gross level of loans outstanding by an estimate of
uncollectible loans.  As loans are deemed uncollectible, they are
charged against the allowance.  A provision for loan losses is
expensed against current income on a monthly basis.  This provision
acts to replenish the allowance for loan losses to accommodate
charge-offs and growth in the loan portfolio, thereby maintaining
the allowance at an adequate level.

     For the first three months of 1995 provisions charged against
1995 income were $68,000 which was the same as the provision during
the same period in 1994.


Other Operating Income

Other operating income increased $24,000 or 8.3%. Service charge
income increased 16.3%. All other income increased by $10,000 or
13.7%. Trust income remain unchanged at $75,000.

Other Operating Expense

     Other operating expense increased $212,000 or 15.3%. Employee
expenses increased $92,000 or 13.3%. Occupancy expense increased
$34,000 compared to the first three months of last year or 9%.
Equipment expenses increased $51,000 or 62.9%. The increase in
equipment expense is primarily due to depreciation charges associated
with the computer and item processing equipment the banks purchased
during 1994. Computer services increased $1,000 or 1.4%. All other
expenses increased $56,000 or 13.6%.




EXHIBIT A:

		  FIRST BANKING CENTER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
		   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
			 December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	The accounting principles of First Banking Center, Inc. conform to 
those generally accepted and to general practices within the banking 
industry.  The significant accounting policies affecting the 
consolidated financial statements are summarized below to assist the 
reader in understanding the financial information presented in this 
report.

	1.  Consolidation

	The consolidated financial statements of First Banking Center, Inc. 
include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, First Banking 
Center - Burlington and First Banking Center - Albany.  First Banking 
Center - Burlington includes the accounts of its wholly owned 
subsidiary, First Banking Center Burlington Investment Corporation.  
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been 
eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

	2.  Nature of banking activities

	The consolidated income of First Banking Center, Inc. is principally 
from income of the two bank subsidiaries.  The subsidiary Banks grant 
agribusiness, commercial and residential loans to customers primarily 
in southeastern and south central Wisconsin.  Although the Banks have 
a diversified loan portfolio, the ability of its debtors to honor 
their contracts is dependent on the economic conditions of the 
counties surrounding the subsidiary Banks.

	3.  Cash and cash equivalents

	For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents 
include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.  
Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.  Cash flows 
from interest bearing deposits in banks, loans, federal funds 
purchased, deposits and other short-term borrowings are reported net.

	The Bank maintains amounts due from banks which, at times, may exceed 
federally insured limits.  The Bank has not experienced any losses in 
such accounts.

	4.  Investment in debt and marketable equity securities

	The Company accounts for debt and equity securities in accordance 
with FASB Statement No. 115.  This statement requires that management 
determine the appropriate classification of securities at the date of 
adoption and thereafter as each individual security is acquired.  In 
addition, the appropriateness of such classification should be 
reassessed at each balance sheet date.  The classifications and 
related accounting policies under FASB Statement No. 115 are as 
follows:

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

4.  Investment in debt and marketable equity securities    (continued)

	Available for sale securities:

		Securities classified as available for sale are those 
debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an 
indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to 
maturity.  Available for sale securities also includes 
equity securities.  Any decision to sell a security 
classified as available for sale would be based on 
various factors, including significant movements in 
interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the 
Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, 
regulatory capital considerations, and other similar 
factors.  Securities available for sale are carried at 
fair value.  Unrealized gains or losses net of the 
related deferred tax effect are reported as increases or 
decreases in stockholders' equity.  Realized gains or 
losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific 
securities sold, are included in earnings.




	Held to maturity securities:

		Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt 
securities the Company has both the intent and ability to 
hold to maturity regardless of changes in market 
conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general 
economic conditions.  These securities are carried at 
cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion 
of discount, computed by the interest method over their 
contractual lives.

		Transfers of debt securities into the held to maturity 
classification (if any) from the available for sale 
classification are made at fair value on the date of 
transfer.  The unrealized holding gain or loss on the 
date of transfer is retained in the separate component of 
stockholders' equity and in the carrying value of the 
held to maturity securities.  Such amounts are amortized 
over the remaining contractual lives of the securities by 
the interest method.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

4.  Investment in debt and marketable equity securities    (continued)



Securities held for investment:

		Prior to the accounting change discussed in Note B, 
securities held for investment were stated at cost 
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of 
discounts which were recognized as adjustments to 
interest income.  Gains or losses on disposition were 
based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying 
amount of the securities sold, using the specific 
identification method.  Mutual funds were carried at the 
lower of their aggregate cost or market value, determined 
as of the report date.  Any unrealized loss was credited 
to a valuation allowance for marketable equity securities 
and charged to a separate account within the equity 
section.

	5.  Loans

	Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an 
allowance for loan losses.  Interest on other loans is calculated by 
using the simple-interest method on daily balances of the principal 
amount outstanding.  Accrual of interest is generally stopped when a 
loan is greater than three months past due.  Interest on these loans 
is recognized only when actually paid by the borrower if collection 
of the principal is likely to occur.  Accrual of interest is 
generally resumed when the customer is current on all principal and 
interest payments and has been paying on a timely basis for a period 
of time.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

	6.  Allowance for loan losses

	The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for 
loan losses charged to expense.  Loans are charged against the 
allowance for loan losses when management believes that the 
collectibility of the principal is unlikely.  The allowance is an 
amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible 
losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on 
evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss 
experience.  The evaluations take into consideration such factors as 
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall 
portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current 
economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.  
While management uses the best information available to make its 
evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if 
there are significant changes in economic conditions. 
	7.  Office buildings and equipment

	Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  
Provisions for depreciation are computed on straight-line and 
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, 
which range from 15 to 50 years for buildings and 3 to 15 years for 
equipment.

	8.  Income taxes

	The Company uses the asset and liability approach to financial 
accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax 
assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between 
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that 
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on 
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the 
differences are expected to affect taxable income.  The differences 
relate principally to the reserve for loan losses, nonaccrual loan 
income, fixed assets, deferred compensation and pension, and 
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.  
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce 
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

	9.  Trust assets and fees

	Property held for customers in fiduciary or agency capacities is not 
included in the accompanying balance sheet, since such items are not 
assets of the Company.  In accordance with established industry 
practice, income from trust fees is reported on the cash basis.  
Reporting of trust fees on an accrual basis would have no material 
effect on reported income.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

	10. Earnings per share

	Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average 
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each 
year.  In the computation of weighted average shares outstanding all 
dilutive stock options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning 
of each year and the proceeds are used to purchase shares of the 
Company's common stock at the average market price during the year.  
Fully diluted earnings per share are computed in a similar manner 
except, to reflect maximum potential dilution, the market price at 
the close of the reported period is used if higher than the average 
market price during the year.
	


  11.  Fair value of financial instruments

	FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial 
Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about 
financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, whether or not 
recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to 
estimate that value.  In cases where quoted market prices are not 
available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or 
other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly 
affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and 
estimates of future cash flows.  In that regard, the derived fair 
value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent 
markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate 
settlement of the instrument.  Statement 107 excludes certain 
financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its 
disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value 
amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the 
Company.

	The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in 
estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

	Cash and cash equivalents:

		The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for 
cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair 
values.

	Investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities):

		Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted 
market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices 
are not available, fair values are based on quoted market 
prices of comparable instruments.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

11.  Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

	Loans receivable:

		For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with 
no significant change in credit risk, fair values are 
based on carrying values.  The fair values for fixed rate 
loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, 
using interest rates currently being offered for loans 
with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit 
quality.  The carrying amount of accrued interest 
receivable approximates its fair value.

	Off-balance-sheet instruments:

		The fair value of interest rate swaps (used for hedging 
purposes) is the estimated amount that the Company would 
receive or pay to terminate the swap agreements at the 
reporting date, taking into account current interest 
rates and the current credit-worthiness of the swap 
counterparties.

		The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees 
currently charged to enter into similar agreements, 
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements 
and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  
The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees 
currently charged for similar agreements or on the 
estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the 
obligations with the counterparties.

	Deposit liabilities:

		The fair values disclosed for demand deposits equal their 
carrying amounts which represents the amount payable on 
demand.  The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed 
term money market accounts and certificates of deposit 
approximate their fair values at the reporting date.  
Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are 
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that 
applies interest rates currently being offered on 
certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected 
maturities on time deposits.

	Short-term borrowings:

		The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, 
borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-
term borrowings approximate their fair values.

	Long-term borrowing:

		The fair values for the fixed rate borrowings are 
estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that 
applies interest rates currently being offered on the 
borrowings to a schedule of aggregated expected 
maturities on the borrowings.

	12.  Emerging accounting standards

	Impairment of loans:

		The FASB has issued Statement No. 114, Accounting by 
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  Statement No. 114 
requires that impaired loans that are within the scope of 
this statement be measured based on the present value of 
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's 
effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at 
the loan's observable market price or the fair value of 
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.  A 
loan is impaired when it is probable the creditor will be 
unable to collect all contractual principal and interest 
payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan 
agreement.  This statement is effective for the Company's 
year ending December 31, 1995.

	Accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan-income recognition 
and disclosures:

		The FASB has issued FASB Statement No. 118 which amends 
certain provisions of FASB Statement No. 114 relating to 
income recognition and other required disclosures of 
impaired loans.  This statement is effective for the 
Company's year ending December 31, 1995.

	13.     Reclassifications

	Certain of the 1993 and 1992 amounts have been reclassified to 
conform with the 1994 presentation.  These reclassifications had no 
effect on net income or stockholders' equity.
