    1  FSCM's  Common Stock tender  offer  terminated  in August 1997 with 2,498
       shares of Common Stock  tendered for $90 per share cash. On July 1, 1997,
       FSCM granted  options to acquire 800 shares of Common Stock at a price of
       $100 per share exercisable within the next eight years. These options are
       currently  antidilutive  and have no impact on the  numbers  of  weighted
       average common and contingently issuable common shares outstanding.

    2  In July 1997,  the Class A  Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock was
       reclassified  to  Class F  Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  and
       redeemed in its entirety. Funding for the redemption was provided through
       the private  placement  of $5,000 in new Class A  Cumulative  Convertible
       Preferred  Stock ("Class A Preferred  Stock").  The new Class A Preferred
       Stock is  immediately  convertible,  at the option of the  holders,  into
       41,666 shares of FSCM's Common Stock.

    3  The  Class  B  and  C  Preferred  Stock  and  the  mandatory  convertible
       debentures  ("MCDs") are  convertible  at the option of the holders.  The
       holders of the Class B and C Preferred  Stock and certain  holders of the
       MCDs have consented to provide FSCM with a ninety day notice prior to the
       conversion  of their  securities  and  allow  for the  obtainment  of any
       necessary  regulatory  approval or legal  opinion.  No MCDs or  Preferred
       Stock was  converted to common shares  during the periods  presented.  In
       November  1997,  $500 MCDs were  converted  into 20,000  shares of Common
       Stock.

Business Development

In May 1997,  FSCM extended a tender offer to all  shareholders of Common Stock.
The offer  terminated  on August 13 with a total of 2,498 shares of Common Stock
exchanged  for $90 cash per share and was  funded,  including  costs of $27,000,
with cash on hand.

In July 1997, FSCM  reclassified  the Class A Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred
Stock to Class F  Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  ("Class F Preferred
Stock").  On July 10, 1997, FSCM redeemed the $5 million 9.25% Class F Preferred
Stock at a  redemption  price of $100 per share as  provided in the terms of the
Class F Preferred  Stock.  Funding for the  retirement  of the Class F Preferred
Stock was  provided  through  the  issuance  of $5 million of new 9.25%  Class A
Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred Stock ("Class A Preferred Stock"). Each share
of the Class A  Preferred  Stock has a stated  value of $1,000  per share and is
immediately  convertible,  at the option of the  holder,  into  8-1/3  shares of
Common  Stock.  All of the  Class A  Preferred  Stock was  issued  to  principal
shareholders  of FSCM who are also executive  officers and directors of FSCM and
TRIB.

In  November  1997,  holders of  $500,000 in MCDs  exercised  their  options and
converted the MCDs into 20,000 shares of Common Stock.

Income Statement

Overview

Net income and earnings per fully diluted  common share equaled  $2.717  million
and $8.79,  respectively,  for the six months ended  September  30, 1997, a $676
thousand, or 33.12%, increase above 1996's comparable six month income of $2.041
million and a $2.52 per share increase  above 1996's  earnings per fully diluted
common share of $6.27.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 equaled $1.178 million and $1.001 million,  respectively.  As reflected
in the table below,  the increase in net interest  income  between 1997 and 1996
was  completely  offset by  increased  provisions  for  possible  loan and lease
losses.  The increase in net income  primarily  resulted  from  increased  other
income  and  decreased  other  expenses  which  were  only  partially  offset by
increased  income  taxes.  Further  discussion  relating to these changes can be
found throughout the remaining  Management's  Discussion and Analysis section of
this report.

The   efficiency  and  overhead   ratios  are  two  commonly  used   performance
measurements.  Both measure the  coverage of  operating  expense by net interest
income.  In the efficiency  ratio,  other income is added to net interest income
and in the overhead  ratio other  income is netted  against  operating  expense.
Lower ratios generally  reflect better  performance and therefore are considered
more  favorable.  FSCM's  ratios as of September  30, 1997 and 1996 and the Peer
Group's  efficiency ratio are presented  below.  FSCM's Peer Group is defined as
bank holding  companies with  consolidated  assets between $300 million and $500
million.  The Peer Group numbers presented here and throughout the report are as
of June 30, 1997-- which is the most recent data  available.  The improvement in
the ratios between the six months  comparative  periods primarily  resulted from
the  combined  effect of  increased  net  interest  income and other  income and
decreased operating expense between periods.

                                                                          FSCM

Net Interest Income

In the following two tables,  various components of interest-earning  assets and
interest-bearing  liabilities  are  identified  and  compared to the prior year.
Average interest-earning assets have increased $68.5 million, or 18.96%, between
years. Similarly, average interest-bearing liabilities have risen $60.8 million,
or  18.58%.   The   difference   between  the  increase  in  growth  of  average
interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities was primarily due to
growth in average  capital and average  noninterest-  bearing  liabilities.  The
interest  rate spread  (the  difference  between  the yield on  interest-earning
assets and the cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities) has narrowed.  The spread
for the six months  ended  September  30, 1997 was 3.62% versus the prior year's
spread of 4.02%.  The tightening of the spread  resulted from both a decrease in
the yield on interest-earning  assets, which dropped to 8.83% for the six months
ended  September 30, 1997 from 9.19% in 1996, and a slight  increase in the cost
of  interest-bearing  liabilities,   which  equaled  5.21%  and  5.17%  for  the
respective periods. The comparative yield and cost for FSCM's Peer Group equaled
8.22% and 4.44%, respectively.

Average  asset  growth  was  primarily  distributed  between  net  loans  (which
increased  $44.8 million),  investments  (which  increased  $22.6 million),  and
federal funds (which  increased  $6.0  million).  The growth in average  federal
funds was  primarily  due to a temporary  excess  liquidity  that  resulted from
deposit  growth  exceeding  new  loan  demand.   Additionally,   the  yields  on
interest-earning  assets increased slightly between periods except for the yield
on loans and leases which decreased 59 basis points to 9.97% in 1997 from 10.56%
the previous year (Peer Group's yield on loans and leases equaled  9.27%).  Loan
and lease fees  included in interest  income  decreased  $387  thousand  between
periods to equal $409 thousand from $796 thousand for the  respective  six month
periods  ended  September  30, 1997 and 1996.  This  decrease was  primarily the
result of increased deferral of loan fees, which will be amortized over the life
of the  related  loans.  The impact of the  decreased  fees in the 1997 yield of
loans and leases was approximately 26 basis points.

Average  liability  growth was  primarily  distributed  between time and savings
accounts which increased $51.5 million and $27.4 million,  respectively, and was
partially offset by a $23.3 million decrease in securities sold under agreements
to repurchase ("repurchase  agreements").  Part of the time deposit increase and
the majority of the decrease in repurchase  agreements  were due to the shift of
$17.5  million in State funds  between  the two types of  accounts.  Further,  a
short-term $11.7 million repurchase agreement issued in January 1997 matured and
was redeemed in May 1997. The cost of  interest-bearing  deposits increased four
basis points  between the  comparative  six month periods to 5.21% from 5.17% as
compared to the Peer Group cost of 4.44%.  Although the  interest  rates on most
liability accounts decreased between periods,  the benefit of the 13 basis point
decrease in cost of time  deposits was  completely  offset by the 58 basis point
increase in cost of savings  deposits.  The resulting  net interest  margin (net
interest income divided by average total  interest-earning  assets) decreased 38
basis  points  between  periods to 4.13% from  4.51%--the  Peer  Group's  margin
equaled 4.62%.

The second  table  further  identifies  the  components  of the  increase in net
interest income.  The net $1.513 million positive  variance from average balance
increases was only partially  offset by the net $780 thousand  negative  average
rate  variance  and  resulted  in the  positive  $733  thousand  increase in net
interest income between six month periods.

Provision for Possible Loan and Lease Losses

The  provision  for possible loan and lease losses  totaled  $1.822  million and
$1.050 million for the respective six month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 and $902 thousand and $525 thousand for the respective three month periods.
The amount of the provision was based on management's assessment of the adequacy
of the  allowance  for possible  loan and lease losses in relation to both total
loans and leases and nonperforming loans (those past-due 90 days or more or in a
nonaccrual  status).  The  allowance,  stated as a percentage of  non-performing
loans and leases, equaled 170.78% and 202.46% as of September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.   FSCM's  comparative  Peer  Group  ratio  equaled  274.95%.   The
allowance,  stated as a percentage of total loans and leases,  equaled 2.05% and
1.84% at  September  30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  and the Peer Group ratio
equaled 1.34%.  Net  charge-offs for the 1997 and 1996 six month periods totaled
$974 thousand and $822  thousand,  respectively,  and for the  respective  three
month periods totaled $429 thousand and $664 thousand.

Other Income

Other income  totaled $2.156 million and $1.807 million for the six months ended
September  30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  an increase of $349  thousand,  or
19.31%, and totaled $1.084 million and $932 thousand for the respective 1997 and
1996 three month periods, an increase of $152 thousand, or 16.31%. Other income,
excluding  net  investment  security  gains,  for the six  months  stated  as an
annualized  percentage  of average  assets  equaled 0.92% and 0.93% for 1997 and
1996, respectively, and was comparable to the Peer Group ratio of 0.95%.

The net investment securities gains of $20 thousand for the six months ended and
$67 thousand for the three months ended  September  30, 1997 was the result of a
$49 thousand  loss from the sale of $11.5  million in agency  securities by TRIB
when  repositioning  the portfolio and a $69 thousand gain from the sale of $283
thousand in financial  institution  stocks by FSCM.  An increase of $95 thousand
between 1997 and 1996 six month periods in syndication  fees on credit financing
arrangements  comprised  the  majority  of the $145  thousand  increase in other
miscellaneous income.

Other Expenses

Other  expenses  totaled  $5.252  million and $5.728  million for the six months
ended and $2.812 million and $2.971 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The $476 thousand and $159 thousand  decrease
between  respective  six and three month  periods was due primarily to increased
deferral of direct loan related expenses that will be amortized over the life of
the related loans. The increased deferrals, between the comparable six month and
three month periods, reduced salaries and employee benefits by $811 thousand and
$381  thousand,  respectively,  and  reduced  other  operating  expenses  by $91
thousand and $34 thousand,  respectively. Other expense, stated as an annualized
percentage of average  assets,  equaled 2.28% and 2.95% for the respective  1997
and 1996 six month  periods and  compared  favorably  to the Peer Group ratio of
3.19%.  The deferral of direct loan related  expense  favorably  impacted 1997's
ratio by 39 basis points.

The number of full-time  equivalent employees totaled 193 at September 30, 1997,
an  increase  of  12  employees,  or  6.63%,  over  September  1996's  full-time
equivalent total of 181.  Salaries and employee  benefits equaled $2.666 million
and $3.164  million for the 1997 and 1996 six month periods,  respectively,  and
$1.378  million and $1.570  million  for the  respective  three  month  periods.
Annualized  personnel expense,  stated as a percentage of average assets equaled
1.16% and 1.63% for the  respective  periods as compared to the Peer Group ratio
of 1.70%--the impact on 1997's ratio of the aforementioned deferred costs was 35
basis points.

The $91  thousand  increase  in data  processing  expense  between the six month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 ($62 thousand  between the three month
periods) was  primarily  due to increased  number of accounts  (both deposit and
loan) supported by the  third-party  computer  service  vendor.  Other operating
expense  equaled $816 thousand and $1.043  million for the  respective six month
1997 and 1996  periods and $509  thousand and $644  thousand for the  respective
three  month  periods.  The  reduction  in expense in 1997 as  compared  to 1996
primarily  resulted from the  combination of the previously  discussed  deferred
direct  loan  expense  and  the  acceleration  of  amortization  in 1996 of note
offering  costs due to  prepayment--$140  thousand and $127 thousand for the six
and three month periods.
<PAGE>


Income Taxes

Income taxes totaled  $1.243  million and $1.133  million for the respective six
month periods and $627 thousand and $590 thousand for the respective three month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The equivalent  combined  Federal and
State effective tax rates equaled 31.39% and 35.70% for the respective six month
periods  and 34.74%  and 37.08% for the  respective  three  month  periods.  The
reduction in the 1997 effective  rates  primarily  resulted from a $258 thousand
over  accrual  of State  taxes  that was  partially  offset  by a $175  thousand
deferred tax adjustment for the fiscal March 31, 1997 year-end.

Risk Management

Risk management encompasses many different types of risk, including credit risk,
liquidity risk and interest rate risk.  Regulatory  agencies have modified their
examination  procedures  to rate the exposure of financial  institutions  to the
risk by the various  types of risk,  the  direction  of change in the risk,  and
management's ability to monitor and control each type of risk. FSCM utilizes the
expertise of both  on-staff  personnel and outside  consultants  to perform loan
reviews to monitor loan documentation;  ensure compliance with internal policies
and  governmental  regulations;  and maintain the internal  loan and lease watch
list.  Internal audit and compliance staff are also utilized to provide on-going
operational audits and review of regulatory compliance. In addition,  management
continues to cautiously  assess the risks  associated with the potential  future
impact of adverse  changes in the overall  economic  climate and more  stringent
regulatory standards and requirements. An asset/liability committee monitors the
liquidity position of FSCM in order to provide for future liquidity requirements
as well as maintain an acceptable return on assets. Further, computer simulation
modeling is used to assess the  interest  rate  sensitivity  characteristics  of
assets and liabilities and predict possible impacts of new marketing and product
development strategies.

As depicted in FSCM's  Consolidated  Statement of Cash Flows,  the operating and
financing  activities  are  generally  net sources of  liquidity  and  investing
activities  are net uses of  liquidity.  For the six months ended  September 30,
1997,  sources of cash were  primarily  provided by the net increase in deposits
over the reduction in repurchase  agreements  and uses of cash were primarily to
finance  the net  increase  in loans and leases  and,  on a  temporary  basis at
September  1997,  provided for an increase in federal funds sold.  The resulting
net change in cash and due from banks reflected  increases of $2.262 million and
$3.810 million for the six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

Balance Sheet

Overview

Assets  totaled  $483.0  million at  September  30,  1997,  an increase of $37.3
million,  or 8.37%,  from  March's  total of $445.7  million.  The  increase was
primarily  distributed  between net loans and leases ($10.2 million) and federal
funds sold ($25.5 million).  The federal funds sold growth primarily reflected a
temporary  abundance of funds due to deposit  growth  exceeding new loan demand.
Funding growth was provided by the net increase in deposits ($47.8 million) over
the decrease in repurchase agreements ($14.6 million).

Loans and Direct Financing Leases

Loans and leases increased $11.002 million, or 3.71%,  between September 30, and
March 31, 1997. The principal area of growth centered in the consumer  financing
area,  which  increased  $11.7 million and was  primarily  comprised of indirect
financing  arrangements  that TRIB purchased from dealers (e.g.  auto,  boat and
recreational vehicle dealerships) rather than directly financing the consumer. A
$4.9 million  decrease  between  periods in commercial and  commercial  mortgage
lending prompted  management to commence  repayment of some of the correspondent
bank  participations on TRIB originated  credits. In June 1997, TRIB expaned the
residential  mortgage lending program to encompass a more  diversified  group of
borrowers.  All loans generated  under the program are sold without  recourse to
independent  investors.  TRIB's residential mortgage servicing portfolio totaled
$190.6  million and $185.3  million at  September  30, and March 31,  1997.  The
following table presents the September and March 1997  comparative  distribution
of loans and leases.

     primary and secondary  sources of security.  2 Consumer loans,  both direct
     and indirect and credit card plans.

Notes Payable

Notes payable  totaled $10 million at both September 30, and March 31, 1997. The
change between September 30, 1997 and 1996 average balances in notes payable was
due to a November  1996  redemption  of the $4.5  million  8.5% notes  which was
replaced by $10 million 8.0% notes issued the same month.

Capital Resources

As previously discussed under Business Development, in August 1997 FSCM acquired
2,498 shares of Common Stock in a company  sponsored  tender offer at a price of
$90 per share and costs approximating $27,000. Additionally, in July 1997 the $5
million of 9.25%  Class F  Preferred  Stock was  redeemed  and  replaced  with a
private  placement  of $5 million of new 9.25%  Class A  Cumulative  Convertible
Preferred  Stock.  The Class F Preferred Stock was not  convertible  until on or
after December 1, 2002;  however,  the number of Common Stock equivalent  shares
totaled 32,283 shares and 5,593 shares for the six month and three month periods
ended  September  30,  1997,  respectively.  The new Class A Preferred  Stock is
immediately  convertible  at the option of the  holders  into a constant  41,666
shares of FSCM Common Stock.

On July 1, 1997 FSCM granted  options to acquire 800 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $100 per share  exercisable,  subject to certain vesting  requirements,
within  the next eight  years to certain  management  officials.  Further,  FSCM
currently  anticipates,  depending  upon the financial  performance  of FSCM and
TRIB, granting  additional stock options to other management  officials later in
the fiscal year.  These options were granted  under the 1996 Combined  Incentive
and  Nonstatutory   Stock  Option  Plan  that  was  ratified  by  FSCM's  common
stockholders  at the August 1996 annual  meeting which provides for the issuance
of  options  to  acquire  a total of  20,000  shares  of  FSCM's  Common  Stock.
Currently,  only 800 shares of FSCM's  Common Stock have been granted  under the
Plan and no options have previously been exercised.

Effective for the September  1997 payment,  FSCM  increased the dividend rate on
Common  Stock to $2.50 per share per annum from the  previous  rate of $2.00 per
share per annum.

FSCM's  capital,  as measured by standards  established  by the federal  banking
regulators,  exceeded  those defined for "well  capitalized"  institutions.  The
table below sets forth FSCM's  ratios as of September 30, and March 31, 1997, as
well as the  minimum  regulatory  ratios  and  capital  requirements  for  "well
capitalized" and "adequately capitalized" financial institutions.

Impact of Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  has issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share" which
becomes  effective  for  financial  statements  issued for periods  ending after
December 15, 1997.  This  Statement  establishes  standards  for  computing  and
presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held
stock or potential  Common Stock.  This  Statement  simplifies the standards for
computing  earnings per share  previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings
per  Share,"  and makes them  comparable  to  international  EPS  standards.  It
replaces the  presentation  of primary EPS with a presentation  of basic EPS. It
also  requires  dual  presentation  of basic and  diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement of all entities with complex capital  structures and requires a
reconciliation  of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to
the  numerator  and  denominator  of the  diluted  EPS  computation.  Management
believes that adoption of the Statement  will not have a material  effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

FASB has  issued  SFAS  No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,"  which is
effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997.  This Statement
establishes  standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of  general-purpose  financial  statements.  Management
believes that adoption of this Statement will not have a material  effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

FASB has issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosure  about  Segments of an Enterprise and
Related  Information,"  which is  effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after
December 15, 1997. This Statement  establishes standards for the way that public
business  enterprises  report  information  about  operating  segments in annual
financial  statements  and  requires  that  those  enterprises  report  selected
information  about  operating  segments in interim  financial  reports issued to
stockholders.  It also  establishes  standards  for  related  disclosures  about
products  and  services,  geographic  areas,  and  major  customers.  Management
believes that adoption of this Statement will not have a material  effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

Customer                                        Date              Amount

The undersigned  ("Customer,"  whether one or more) promises to pay to the order
of M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank  ("Lender") at 770 North Water Street,  Milwaukee,
Wisconsin,  53202 the principal sum of $10,000,000.00 or, if less, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all loans made under this Note, plus interest, as set
forth below.

Lender  will  disburse  loan  proceeds  to  Customer's  deposit  account  number
__________________ or by other means acceptable to Lender.

Interest  is  payable on  October  31,  1997 , and on the last day of each third
month thereafter and at maturity.
                       

Principal is payable July 31, 1998 .

This Note bears interest on the unpaid  principal  balance before  maturity at a
rate equal to [Complete (a) or (b); only one shall apply]:

(a)      _______________% per year.

(b)      0.0 percentage  points in excess of the prime rate of interest  adopted
         by Lender as its base rate for interest rate  determinations  from time
         to time which may or may not be the lowest rate charged by lender (with
         the rate  changing  as and when that prime rate  changes).  The initial
         rate is 8.50 % per year.

Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year on the actual number of days
principal is unpaid.  Unpaid principal and interest bear interest after maturity
(whether  by  acceleration  or lapse of time)  until paid at the rate  otherwise
applicable plus 2 percentage points computed on the same basis.

If any  payment  is not paid  when  due,  if a  default  occurs  under any other
obligation  of any Customer to Lender or if Lender deems  itself  insecure,  the
unpaid balance shall, at the option of the Lender, and without notice mature and
become immediately  payable.  The unpaid balance shall automatically  mature and
become  immediately  payable in the event any  Customer,  surety,  or  guarantor
becomes the subject of  bankruptcy  or other  insolvency  proceedings.  Lender's
receipt of any payment on this Note after the  occurrence of an event of default
shall not  constitute  a waiver of the default or Lender's  rights and  remedies
upon such default.

The  acceptance  of this Note,  the making of any loan,  or any other  action of
Lender does not  constitute an obligation or commitment of Lender to make loans;
and any loans may be made solely in the  discretion of Lender.  This Note may be
prepaid in full or in part without penalty.

Lender is authorized  to  automatically  charge  payments due under this Note to
account  number at (See reverse side  regarding  Notice of Transfers  Varying in
Amount.)

_____ Check here only if this Note is to be secured by a first lien  mortgage or
equivalent security interest on a one-to-four family dwelling used as Customer's
principal place of residence.

This notice includes additional provisions on reverse side.

                              ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

This Note is secured by all existing and future security agreements, assignments
and mortgages  between Lender and Customer,  between Lender and any guarantor of
of the Note,  and  between  Lender  and any other  person  providing  collateral
security for Customer's obligations, and payment may be accelerated according to
any of  them.  Unless  a lien  would  be  prohibited  by law or  would  render a
nontaxable  account taxable,  Customer grants to Lender a security  interest and
lien in any deposit  account  Customer may at any time have with Lender.  Lender
may, at any time after an occurrence of an event of default,  without  notice or
demand, setoff against any deposit balances or other money now or hereafter owed
any Customer by Lender any amount unpaid under this Note.

Lender is authorized to make book entries  evidencing loans and payments and the
aggregate  of all loans as evidenced by those  entries is  presumptive  evidence
that those amounts are outstanding and unpaid to Lender. Customer covenants that
all loans shall be used solely for business and not personal purposes.

Customer  agrees to pay all costs of  administration  and collection  before and
after judgment,  including reasonable  attorneys' fees (including those incurred
in successful  defense or settlement of any counterclaim  brought by Customer or
incident to any action or proceeding  involving Customer brought pursuant to the
United  States  Bankruptcy  Code) and waives  presentment,  protest,  demand and
notice of dishonor.  Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender,  its
directors,  officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims,
damages,  judgments,  penalties,  and expenses,  including reasonable attorneys'
fees, arising directly or indirectly from credit extended under this Note or the
activities of Customer. This indemnity shall survive payment of the Note.

Customer acknowledges that Lender has not made any representations or warranties
with respect to, and that Lender does not assume any  responsibility to Customer
for,  the  collectability  or  enforceability  of  this  Note  or the  financial
condition of any Customer.  Customer authorizes Lender to disclose financial and
other  information  about  Customer to others.  Each Customer has  independently
determined the collectability and enforceability of this Note.

Without affecting the liability of any Customer,  surety,  or guarantor,  Lender
may, without notice,  accept partial payments,  release or impair any collateral
security  for the  payment of this Note or agree not to sue any party  liable on
it. Without affecting the liability of any surety or guarantor,  Lender may from
time to time,  without  notice,  renew or  extend  the  time  for  payment.  The
obligations of all Customers under this Note are joint and several.

To the extent not prohibited by law,  Customer consents that venue for any legal
proceeding relating to collection of this Note shall be, at Lender's option, the
county in which  Lender has its  principal  office in this state,  the county in
which any Customer  resides or the county in which this Note was executed.  This
Note shall be construed  and enforced in  accordance  with the internal  laws of
Wisconsin.

This Note is intended by Customer and Lender as a final  expression of this Note
and  as a  complete  and  exclusive  statement  of its  terms,  there  being  no
conditions to the enforceability of this Note. This Note may not be supplemented
or modified except in writing.

                        PREAUTHORIZED TRANSFER DISCLOSURE

When Customer authorizes Lender to obtain payment of amounts becoming due Lender
by  initiating  charges  to  Customer's  account,  Customer  also  requests  and
authorizes remitting financial institution to alert and honor same and to charge
same to  Customer's  account.  This  authorization  will remain in effect  until
Customer notifies Lender and the remitting  financial  institution in writing to
terminate this authorization and Lender and remitting financial institution have
a reasonable  time to act on the  termination.  NOTICE OF  TRANSFERS  VARYING IN
AMOUNT: If Lender and remitting financial institution are not the same, Customer
is an individual,  the account was established primarily for personal, family or
household purposes and the regular payments may vary in amount, Customer has the
right to receive a notice from  Lender 10 days  before each  payment of how much
the payment will be; however,  by signing this Note,  Customer elects to receive
notice only when current  payment  would differ by more than 100% from  previous
payment.

         Rock Island, IL  61204-4870

         RE:      Amendment to Letter Agreement dated as of December 15, 1992

         Dear Mr. Kratz:

         The  following  amends the Loan  Agreement  dated  December 15, 1992 as
         amended as of March 14, 1996 and further amended as of July 27, 1996.

         Paragraph  3 of the  agreement  is amended in its  entirety  to read as
         follows:

                           "3.  The  Borrower  shall  at all  times  maintain  a
                  minimum  tangible  net  worth  of  at  least   $20,000,000.00.
                  Tangible  net  worth  shall  be  defined  in  accordance  with
                  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The  Bank  shall
                  maintain  a  minimum   tangible  net  worth,   as  defined  by
                  applicable    regulatory    authorities,     of    at    least
                  $25,000,000.00."

         Paragraph  6 of the  agreement  is amended in its  entirety  to read as
         follows:

                           "6.  The   Borrower   shall   make  no  fixed   asset
                  expenditures in an aggregate amount  exceeding  $500,000.00 in
                  any one fiscal year with the prior  approval of M&I.  The Bank
                  shall make only such fixed asset expenditures as would be made
                  under  normal  banking   practices  and  in  accordance   with
                  applicable  regulatory  requirements without the prior written
                  approval of M&I.  If the Bank is  required,  under  regulatory
                  requirements,  to obtain the  approval of  regulators  for any
                  fixed asset  expenditures,  the Borrower shall also obtain the
                  prior written approval of M&I."

         All other terms and  conditions  of the  Agreement,  as amended,  shall
         remain in force.

         Please  acknowledge  acceptance  of,  and  agreement  to,  the terms by
         signing in the appropriate place indicated.

                                       Sincerely yours,
