Item 5.       Other Events

The principal asset of Financial Services Corporation of the Midwest ("FSCM") is
its total stock ownership in THE Rock Island Bank ("TRIB").  As of September 30,
1995,  such  investment  comprised  93% of FSCM's  total,  parent  company only,
assets.

TRIB,  a  commercial  bank,  is a member of the Federal  Reserve  System and its
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. TRIB operated
under a charter granted in 1974 by the State of Illinois until November 1, 1995.
On that date, under authority received from the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, TRIB:

     o became a national  association  called  THE Rock  Island  Bank,  National
       Association; 
     o relocated the head office of the new national association to 3120
       Middle Road,  Bettendorf,  Iowa; 
     o converted  the former head office at 230-18th Street,  in downtown 
       Rock Island,  Illinois to a branch office; 
     o retained all other existing  branch offices in Rock Island and 
       East Moline,  Illinois;  
     o was able to exercise  trust powers in both Illinois and Iowa; and 
     o has permission to increase investment in fixed assets.

Due to its  location,  TRIB  services  a  bi-state  market  area.  It has been a
long-term  management goal that TRIB be able to offer convenient  retail banking
services   to  both  its   Illinois   and  Iowa   Quad   Cities   customers.   A
disproportionally  higher level of lending activity than retail deposit activity
currently  exists  in  TRIB's  Iowa  customer  base due to the lack of  customer
convenience  caused  by  restrictive   interstate  retail  deposit  regulations.
Management  anticipates that with the opening of the Bettendorf  office,  retail
deposit activity will increase.

                                   SIGNATURES

Pursuant  to the  requirements  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934,  the
registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
