1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
    in conjunction with Marshall & Ilsley Corporation's  ("Corporation") 1993
    Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited financial information included in
    this report reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
    accruals) which are  necessary for a fair statement of the financial
    position and results of operations as of and for the three months ended
    March 31, 1994 and 1993. The results of operations for the three months
    ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of results to
    be expected for the entire year.

2.  The Corporation declared a three for one stock split effected in the form
    of a 200% stock dividend which was distributed to shareholders on May 28,
    1993. All per share data for 1993 has been retroactively restated for the
    stock split.

3.  The Corporation has 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, of
    which, the Board of Directors has designated 500,000 shares as Series A
    convertible, with a $100 value per share for conversion and liquidation
    purposes.

    The Corporation has 160,000,000 (80,000,000 in 1993) shares of its $1.00
    par value common stock authorized.

4.  The Corporation's loan portfolio consists of the following ($000's):

5.  Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
    and Equity Securities" (FAS 115).  Accordingly, investment securites
    classified as available for sale are carried at fair value with fair value
    adjustments, net of their related income tax effects, reported as a
    component of shareholders' equity. The effect of adopting FAS 115 resulted
    in an increase to shareholders' equity of $9,467 at January 1, 1994. The
    net unrealized loss (net of unrealized gains but before income tax effects)
    for investment securities classified as available for sale at March 31,
    1994 amounted to $3,698 which resulted in a decrease to shareholders'
    equity of $2,331. Investment securities classifed as available for sale at
    December 31 and March 31, 1993, are carried at amortized cost in the
    accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
    Investment securities, by type, held by the Corporation are as follows
    ($000's):
                                              March 31   December 31  March 31

                    Notes to Financial Statements - Concluded

                        March 31, 1994 & 1993 (Unaudited)

6.  In September 1993, the Corporation ("M&I") entered into an Agreement and
    Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") whereby Valley Bancorporation
    ("Valley"), a Wisconsin bank holding company located in Appleton,
    Wisconsin, with consolidated assets of approximately $4.4 billion, will
    merge with and into the Corporation ("the Merger"). Under the terms of the
    Merger Agreement, each share of Valley common stock will be converted into
    the right to receive 1.72 shares of the Corporation's common stock in a
    tax-free reorganization which is to be accounted for as a pooling of
    interests.

    The following information summarizes certain financial data of M&I and
    Valley for the three month period ended March 31, 1994, along with pro
    forma information which would result from the combination ($ in thousands,
    except per share data):

                                                 M&I       Valley     Pro Forma
                                             ----------- ----------- -----------
    Net Interest Income                         $74,296     $44,112    $117,612

    Provision for Loan Losses                     1,771       2,181       3,952

    Net Income                                   28,174      10,339      38,513

    Fully Diluted Net Income Per Share            $0.42       $0.50       $0.37


    The pro forma financial information does not include the effect of the one
    time merger related and restructuring charges associated with the
    combination which is estimated to be approximately $48 million (after tax)
    nor does it include the effects of the proposed divestitures or any
    potential cost savings which are anticipated after the merger is completed.
    See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results
    of Operations for a further discussion of the status of the pending Merger.

    Potential loan loss provisions may be recorded at or near the consummation
    of the Merger. While the amounts have not been quantified, an additional
    provision may be necessary to conform Valley's loan valuation policies with
    those of M&I. M&I does not anticipate that the amount of such provision
    will be material to the combined entity.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993
__________________________________________

Net income for the first quarter of 1994 was $28.2 million compared to $31.0
million for the same period one year ago.  Fully diluted earnings per share
amounted to $.42 this quarter and $.43 for the same quarter last year.  The
Corporation's return on average assets and return on average shareholders'
equity were 1.43% and 14.92% for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1.66%
and 16.25% for the three months ended March 31, 1993, respectively. 

The decrease in net income of $2.8 million or 9.2% is attributable to a decline
in net interest income, lower security gains and slower fee revenue growth from
the Corporation's banking and trust services affiliates. 


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY
____________________________________________

The provision for loan losses amounted to $1.8 million in the first quarter of
1994 compared to $2.4 million and $2.1 million in the fourth and first quarters
of 1993, respectively.  The 1994 provision level reflects the continued current
favorable trends in nonperforming assets and net charge-offs in relation to the
allowance for loan losses. 

At March 31, 1994, nonperforming assets were $44.1 million, the lowest level
reported over the past five quarters.  Nonaccrual loans, the largest component
of nonperforming assets, declined $2.4 million or 8.8% since December 31, 1993. 
Each major loan type exhibited a decline in nonaccrual loans at March 31, 1994
compared to year-end 1993.  

Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 1994 amounted to $.09 million or .01%
of average loans annualized.  During the first quarter of 1993, the
Corporation's lead bank, M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank, and its Arizona affiliate,
M&I Thunderbird Bank, had net recoveries which contributed to consolidated net
recoveries of $0.4 million. 

The allowance for loan losses was $94.9 million or 1.75% of total loans at March
31, 1994 compared to $93.2 million or 1.74% of total loans at December 31, 1993
and $88.4 million or 1.80% of total loans at March 31, 1993.  The coverage of
the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased from 261% at
year-end 1993 to 284% at the end of the current quarter primarily due to the
decrease in nonperforming loans of $2.4 million or 6.6%.  At March 31, 1993,
such coverage was 188%. 

The following tables present certain credit quality information and statistics
for the Corporation and its major affiliate groups at March 31, 1994 as well as
the previous four quarters.

NET INTEREST INCOME
___________________

Net interest income in the first quarter of 1994 was $74.3 million compared to
$76.6 million for the same period one year ago, a decrease of $2.3 million or
3%.  The benefit of the increase in the average volume of earning assets,
primarily loans, together with the benefit of the decline in cost of interest
bearing deposits was not sufficient to offset the decrease in yields on earning
assets.

Average earning assets increased $302.8 million or 4.4% in the first quarter of
1994 compared to the same period one year ago.  Average loan growth of $531.0
million or 11% was offset, in part, by a decline in average securities of $198.3
million and a decrease in average other earning assets.

Each major category of loans increased since the first quarter of 1993.  The
Corporation's average commercial portfolio grew 11.8% while the portfolio of
average loans to individuals increased 9.7% reflecting increased confidence by
both the business and consumer sectors since last year.

Average interest bearing liabilities grew $235.9 million or 4.5% for the three
months ended March 31, 1994, compared to the same period in 1993.  The decline
in average interest bearing deposits of $45.2 million or 1.0% was offset by a
$149.0 million or 10.7% increase in noninterest bearing deposits.  Average
short-term borrowings increased $211.2 million or 34.5% in response to the slow
growth in total average deposits in order to fund the increase in average loans.
The increase in average long-term borrowings of $69.8 million or 40.8% is
primarily due to the $100 million ten year 6.375% subordinated notes which were
issued in July 1993 for general corporate purposes including financing the
common share repurchase program announced in April 1993.  Since the
announcement, the Corporation has cumulatively repurchased 5.8 million common
shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $134.4 million through March 31,
1994.  The estimated impact of the program in the first quarter of 1994 was to
increase interest expense by approximately $1.8 million, however, average common
shares outstanding decreased by 5.3 million shares which had a positive impact
on primary and fully diluted earnings per share.

The overall interest margin was negatively impacted by the current interest rate
environment.  The decline in yields on average interest earning assets of 64
basis points offset, in part, by the decrease in cost of average interest
bearing liabilities of 36 basis points, reduced the interest margin by $6.5
million this quarter compared to the same period last year.  This decrease was
mitigated by the increase in the average volume of earning assets which provided
a positive impact on the net margin of $4.2 million. 

At the present time, the Corporation is not involved in any derivative product
arrangements to hedge against interest rate risk.

OTHER INCOME
____________

Total other income was $76.6 million for the first quarter of 1994, an increase
of $6.0 million or 8.6% over the $70.5 million earned in the first quarter of
1993.  Fees from data processing services grew $7.3 million or 23.7% to $38.3
million this quarter compared to $31.0 million for the same period last year. 
The increase was primarily attributable to processing revenue.  Trust fees

<PAGE>
increased 2.8% while fees from other customer services grew a modest $0.4
million or 2.0%.  Other income decreased $1.0 million or 16.6% this quarter
compared to the same quarter last year.  The decline in revenue from the
origination and sale of mortgage loans to the secondary market accounted for the
majority of the decrease.  Net realized gains from the sale of non-affiliate
corporate equity securities classified as available for sale decreased $1.0
million.


OTHER EXPENSE
_____________

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1994 amounted to
$104.3 million compared to $97.4 million reported last year, an increase of $7.0
million or 7.2%.  Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of
noninterest expense, increased $5.0 million or 8.9%.  M&I Data Services, Inc.
(DSI), the Corporation's data processing subsidiary, contributed 82% of the
increase through additional overtime and a 17.1% increase in average FTE
employees (+276) which includes, in part, the effect of the acquisition of a
data processing center which was completed during the third quarter of 1993. 
Also contributing to the increase in salaries and benefits was a $0.6 million
or 69% increase in postretirement health benefit expense which is primarily due
to the lowering of the discount rate used in determining the benefit liability
at the end of 1993.

DSI also contributed approximately 94% of the aggregate $2.6 million increase
in first quarter 1994 versus first quarter 1993 expense increases in the items
of net occupancy, equipment and processing charges. 

Other noninterest expense decreased from $14.0 million in the first quarter of
1993 to $13.4 million in the current quarter.  This line item is affected by the
capitalization of costs, net of amortization, associated with software
development and data processing conversions.  During the first quarter of 1994,
the amount of cost capitalized, net of amortization, exceeded the amount
recorded in the first quarter of 1993 by approximately $1.4 million and was
primarily associated with conversion activity.  


CAPITAL RESOURCES
_________________

At March 31, 1994, total shareholders' equity was $751.4 million compared to
$750.4 and $786.0 million at December 31 and March 31, 1993, respectively.

During the first quarter of 1994, the Corporation purchased 0.8 million shares
of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $17.0 million as part of the
repurchase program, announced in April 1993, to acquire shares in anticipation
of the conversion of its $50 million 8.5% convertible notes and continue its
ongoing program to fund obligations of the Corporation's stock option and other
benefit plans.  It is anticipated that a portion of the convertible notes will
be converted sometime in the second quarter of 1994.  Accordingly, approximately
$13.0 million of such convertible debt was classified as short-term at March 31,
1994. 

In February 1994, the Shareholders approved a proposal to amend the
Corporation's Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized
common stock of the Corporation from 80 million shares to 160 million shares. 

<PAGE>
The impact of the adoption of FAS 115 and change in the interest rate
environment resulted in a decrease in shareholders' equity of $2.3 million at
March 31, 1994.

Shareholders' equity to total assets was 9.27% at March 31, 1994.  The
Corporation continues to have a strong capital base and its regulatory capital
ratios remain significantly above the defined minimum regulatory ratios as shown
in the following tables as of March 31, 1994.

"Issuing Banks" may offer from time to time Bank Notes up to a maximum of $1.0
billion aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, subject to such
additional limits as each Issuing Bank may establish. 

The Bank Notes provide an additional funding source along with those currently

subsidiaries is a potential Issuing Bank which may issue Bank Notes with
maturities ranging from 30 days to 15 years at a fixed or floating rate.  The
Bank Notes will be offered through certain designated Agents and will be offered
and sold only to institutional investors.  The Bank Notes will be sole
obligations of the respective Issuing Banks and will not be obligations of or
guaranteed by the Corporation.

             MARSHALL & ILSLEY CORPORATION / VALLEY BANCORPORATION
      PRO FORMA COMBINED COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES


The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed by dividing earnings
before income taxes and fixed charges by fixed charges. Fixed charges,
excluding interest on deposits, consists of interest on indebtedness and
one-third of rental expense (which is deemed representative of the interest
factor). Fixed charges, including interest on deposits, consists of both the
foregoing item plus interest on deposits.

The following table sets forth the pro forma combined ratios of earnings to
fixed charges for the periods indicated, giving effect to the proposed Merger
of Valley with and into M&I as if it had been consummated on January 1, 1989.
Pro forma adjustments made to arrive at the pro forma combined amounts are
based on the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. No adjustment for the
divestitures which are required in  connection with the merger have been
included in the pro forma  combined ratio of earnings to fixed charges.

The pro forma combined ratios of earnings to fixed charges are intended for
informational purposes and are not  necessarily indicative of the future ratios
of earnings to fixed charges of  the combined company or the ratios of earnings
to fixed charges of the combined company that would have actually occurred had
the  Merger been consummated on January 1, 1989. The pro forma combined ratios
of earnings to fixed charges should be read in conjunction with and are
qualified in their entirety by the  consolidated financial statements,
including the accompanying notes, of M&I and Valley in their respective Annual
Reports on Form 10-K and the pro forma combined  condensed financial statements
and accompanying discussion and notes included as  Exhibit 99.1 and
Exhibit 99.2.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

      Valley Bancorporation ("Valley"),  is a diversified financial  services
company  headquartered  in  Appleton,  Wisconsin  that  was  incorporated  in
Wisconsin in  1962.   In the  following  year it  acquired control  of  three
Appleton area banks and began operations as a bank holding company registered
under the Bank  Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA").  In the
ensuing  years   Valley   acquired   many  additional   banks   and   banking
organizations,  organized additional  banks, opened  new banking  offices and
began offering  to its customers the additional  financial services described
below under  "Financial Service Subsidiaries".  In 1991, Valley also became a
registered  savings and loan holding company under  the Home Owners' Loan Act
of  1933,  as amended  (the  "HOLA"),  and  acquired  its first  two  savings
associations.

      Valley's principal  assets are the  stock of its  subsidiaries.  Valley
presently  owns substantially  all of  the capital  stock of  15 banks  and 2
savings associations with a total  of 160 offices in Wisconsin.   Valley also
owns several companies  engaged in  businesses which are  closely related  to
banking,  including the  businesses of  trust and fiduciary  services, credit
card  products  and  processing,  brokerage  services  and  insurance  agency
services.  Valley provides  financial and managerial assistance  and services
to its subsidiaries.   At  December 31, 1993,  Valley had consolidated  total
assets  of  approximately  $4.6  billion,  consolidated   total  deposits  of
approximately   $4.0 billion,  and   consolidated  shareholders'   equity  of
approximately $366 million.  


Pending Merger With Marshall & Ilsley Corporation

      On  September  20,  1993,  Valley and  Marshall  &  Ilsley  Corporation
("M&I") jointly announced the  execution of an  Agreement and Plan of  Merger
between  Valley  and  M&I  dated  as  of  September  19,  1993  (the  "Merger
Agreement"),  which provides for the combination of the two companies through
a merger of  Valley into  M&I (the "Merger").   Under  the Merger  Agreement,
which has been approved by the shareholders of  both companies, each share of
Valley  common stock,  par  value $.50  per  share ("Valley  Common  Stock"),
outstanding  at the  time the  Merger is consummated  (other than  any shares
owned by M&I for its own account) will be converted into the right to receive
1.72 (the "Exchange  Rate") shares of M&I  common stock, par value  $1.00 per
share ("M&I Common Stock"), in a tax-free  reorganization to be accounted for
as a pooling of interests.  Resulting fractional share interests will be paid
in cash  in  lieu of  issuing  fractional shares.    Then outstanding  Valley
employee and  director stock options will  be converted at  the Exchange Rate
into options to acquire M&I Common Stock.

      M&I is  a Wisconsin corporation  incorporated in 1959  and a registered
bank  holding company  under the  BHCA.   M&I will  also become  a registered
savings  and loan holding company  under HOLA in  connection with the Merger.
M&I's principal assets are the stock of its subsidiaries.  M&I presently owns
substantially  all of  the capital  stock of  38 banks  with a  total of  131
offices  in Wisconsin and 12 offices  in Arizona.  M&I also  owns a number of
companies  engaged  in  businesses  which  are  closely  related  to banking,
including  the businesses  of data  processing, investment  management, trust
services, mortgage banking, equipment  leasing, venture capital and financial
advisory services, brokerage services,  and insurance agency services.   As a
bank holding  company, M&I provides  financial and managerial  assistance and
services to its  subsidiaries.  At  December 31, 1993,  M&I had  consolidated
total assets  of approximately  $8.0 billion, consolidated total  deposits of
approximately   $6.2 billion  and   consolidated   shareholders'  equity   of
approximately  $750 million.   M&I's headquarters  are located  in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.

      The consummation  of the Merger,  which is currently  expected to occur
in the second quarter of 1994, is subject to various conditions set  forth in
the Merger Agreement, including all requisite regulatory approvals.

      In connection with  the Merger Agreement,  the parties  entered into  a
Stock Option Agreement,  dated as of  September 19, 1993  (the "Stock  Option
Agreement"), by which Valley granted M&I an option (the "Option") to purchase
up  to 4,045,795  newly issued shares  of Valley  Common Stock  (19.9% of the

<PAGE>
number of shares then outstanding, and subject to adjustment to maintain that
percentage) at an  exercise price of $35.75  per share, exercisable upon  the
occurrence  of certain events and subject  to certain conditions set forth in
the Stock Option Agreement.  The Stock Option Agreement also provides M&I the
right to receive a termination fee to the extent that the Option has not been
exercised  after  the  occurrence   of  an  event  which  makes   the  Option
exercisable.  

      As required by the Merger Agreement, the Rights Agreement, dated as  of
October  21, 1988  (the  "Rights Agreement")  between  Valley and  The  First
National Bank of  Boston (the "Rights Agent")  has been amended  by Amendment
No. 1 thereto, dated as of September 19, 1993, between Valley  and the Rights
Agent.   The Amendment  provides that  neither M&I nor  any affiliate  of M&I
controlled by  M&I shall become  an "Acquiring  Person" and  that no  "Shares
Acquisition Date" or "Distribution  Date" (as such  terms are defined in  the
Rights Agreement)  will occur  as  a result  of  the execution,  delivery  or
performance of the Merger Agreement or the Stock Option Agreement.  

      In accordance with the provisions  of the Rights Agreement,  the number
of Series A Preferred  Share Purchase Rights ("Rights")  appertaining to each
outstanding share  of Valley Common Stock  has been adjusted from  one (1) to
two-thirds (2/3), to reflect the 3-for-2  stock split effected in the form of
a  50% stock dividend distributed  on August 27, 1993.   Valley share and per
share  data appearing in this report have  been adjusted to reflect the stock
split.

      Under the Merger Agreement, the shares  of M&I Common Stock into  which
the outstanding shares of Valley Common Stock will be converted in the Merger
will be  deemed  to have  been  issued in  full  satisfaction of  all  rights
pertaining  to such  shares  of Valley  Common  Stock, including  the  Rights
appertaining thereto.  The Rights will cease to exist and  will not attach to
the shares of M&I Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger.

      The  foregoing  descriptions regarding  the  Merger  Agreement and  the
Rights Agreement are qualified  by reference to the provisions of  the Merger
Agreement, the Stock Option Agreement, the Rights Agreement and Amendment No.
1  to the Rights Agreement, copies of  which are incorporated by reference as
exhibits to this report.

      Further information concerning  the Merger and  related matters is  set
forth in M&I  and Valley's Joint Proxy Statement dated  December 30, 1993 for
their  respective special meetings of  shareholders on February  15, 1994, at
which  the Merger  Agreement  was approved  by  the shareholders  of  M&I and
Valley, respectively.   The Joint Proxy Statement  is also the  Prospectus of
M&I contained in its registration statement filed under the Securities Act of
1933 to register the shares of M&I Common Stock to be issued in the Merger.

      Following the  Merger, the  operations of  Valley will  be consolidated
with the  operations of  M&I  to enhance  the  efficiencies and  achieve  the
benefits  contemplated by the strategic  combination of the  two companies in
the Merger.  

Growth and Expansion

      Since 1982, Valley's  assets grew rapidly  through its acquisitions  of
individual  banks and  banking  organizations.   The  more significant  steps
included  entry  into  the Green  Bay  market  in  1982  by acquiring  United
Bankshares,  Inc. ($204 million); its entries into the Janesville and Madison
markets  in 1985  by combining  with BANCWIS  Corporation ($170  million) and
United Banks  of Wisconsin, Inc. ($360 million); its expansion in the Madison
area  market  through its  1987 acquisition  of  Community Banks,  Inc. ($350
million); and  its 1988  acquisition of  Colonial Bancorporation,  Inc. ($148
million),  which  primarily  served  the  northern  fringe of  the  Milwaukee
metropolitan area.

      During 1990, Valley acquired three banks, First National Bank, Chippewa
Falls  ($118 million),  Peoples State  Bank, Three  Lakes ($21  million), and
Citizens State Bank, Kiel ($44 million) and organized a state commercial bank
in Milwaukee  County.  In  1991, Valley acquired Western  Federal Savings and
Loan  Association, Sparta  ($90 million)  (Western), which  expanded Valley's

<PAGE>
presence in western  Wisconsin, and  Great American Savings  Bank, FSB  ($180
million)  (Great American), serving  metropolitan Milwaukee.   Prior to their
acquisition, Western had been  a federal mutual savings and  loan association
and Great American had been a  federal mutual savings bank.  Valley continues
to operate Western as a  federal stock savings bank.  Promptly  following its
acquisition, Great American was  merged into Valley Bank, Milwaukee.   During
1991, Valley also acquired Exchange State Bank, La Crosse ($55 million).

      In  1992, Valley  acquired United  Savings and  Loan  Association ($320
million)  (United),  Sheboygan,  Wisconsin,  which converted  from  a  stated
chartered  mutual savings  and  loan association  to  a state  stock  savings
association and now operates as a separate subsidiary of Valley.

      Valley consummated the acquisition  of 98% of the outstanding  stock of
Pierce  County Bank and  Trust Company ($112  million) (Pierce  County) as of
November 6, 1993.

      Valley's asset size  is the third  largest among banking  organizations
headquartered  in   Wisconsin,  and  its   Madison  bank  has   the  greatest
consolidated  total  assets  among  commercial banks  in  the  state's second
largest banking market.

      Information  on Valley's growth and certain other information as to its
business during the years 1988 through  1993 is shown on a consolidated basis
in the tables under "Selected Financial Data"  in Item 6 of this report.  See
Note 2 of  Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements in  Item 8 hereof  for
further information  regarding the  acquisitions consummated during  the last
three fiscal years and the pending Merger with M&I.

Banking Services

      Each Valley  Bank (which  term includes savings  associations) provides
complete retail banking services,  including money market type accounts,  and
full service banking for commercial, industrial and agricultural customers.

      In  order to  broaden  its services  to  customers, improve  management
controls and achieve operating  efficiencies, Valley began a program  in 1987
of consolidating  its banking units into  a relatively few larger  banks.  At
1993 year end,  Valley had 17  banking subsidiaries serving customers  from a
total  of 160  locations in  Wisconsin.   The four  largest Valley  Banks, in
Madison ($876 million), Appleton ($623 million), Green Bay ($511 million) and
Milwaukee  ($452 million),  represented  more  than half  of  Valley's  total
assets.

      Valley has undertaken several major initiatives intended to enhance its
operating  efficiencies  and  reduce  bank  operating  costs,  including  the
centralization  of  its  administrative  operations, the  installation  of  a
company-wide data processing and information network known as VISION, and the
concurrent conversion  of  Valley Banks'  data processing  operations to  the
VISION  system.   Valley completed the  centralization of  its administrative
operations  during the third quarter  of 1991.   The operational efficiencies
associated with this consolidation have had a positive impact on net earnings
thereafter. 


Corporate Organization

      The  Valley Banks are  organized into Northern  and Southern Divisions,
each  of which is divided into two  banking regions, and the Lakeshore Region
which  was added in  conjunction with the  acquisition of  United.  Corporate
officers have  designated responsibilities for  the Valley Banks  within each
division and region, and  for related financial services.   They also provide
an  additional resource to Valley's  individual units by  consulting with and
providing  advice to officers of the individual banking and financial service
subsidiaries, and monitoring their performance.

      Through its  corporate  staff and  certain personnel  of its  financial
service subsidiaries, Valley provides  a broad range of management  and other
specialized services to its individual units.  The knowledge and expertise of
its staff enhance  the capability  of each individual  unit's management  and
expand the  variety  of products  which  the  unit can  offer  to  customers.
Valley's  units utilize this specialized knowledge  and expertise in numerous

<PAGE>
aspects  of bank policy  and operations, including  auditing; data processing
and automation;  credit  and  loan analysis  and  review;  investments;  bank
operations   and  systems   analysis;  facilities  and   equipment  planning;
marketing; employee benefit programs; human  resources management, recruiting
and training; trust  services; and community  development.  Service  charges,
which  Valley believes to  be reasonable, are  paid by subsidiaries  for such
assistance.

      To increase the  efficiency of  Valley Banks, Valley  operates under  a
service  corporation  concept  through  its   subsidiary  Valley  BankService
Corporation  whereby all  day-to-day bank  operational  activities, including
data  processing, are  managed centrally  and performed  at  regional service
centers.  Moreover, Valley organized  a mortgage servicing subsidiary, Valley
Real  Estate  Services Corporation,  to  service  residential mortgage  loans
originated in Wisconsin by Valley Banks that have been sold  in the secondary
market,  to assume  management of  the interest  rate risk, and  to act  as a
resource to all Valley Banks in the underwriting, processing and servicing of
these  mortgage  loans.   Relieved  of  various operations  responsibilities,
Valley  Banks have the opportunity to focus  more on business development and
customer sales and service.

Financial Service Subsidiaries

      Through certain subsidiaries, Valley makes available to its customers a
variety  of trust and fiduciary  services, credit cards,  insurance sales and
securities  brokerage  services.     Other  subsidiaries  offer  credit  life
reinsurance  for  loans  originated  by  Valley   Banks  and  extensive  data
processing  services, which are utilized  primarily by Valley  Banks.  Valley
also offers equipment leasing services through one of its subsidiary banks.

      Valley Trust Company

      Created  in  1972 as  the successor  to  the separate  trust department
activities  of several of the  Valley Banks, Valley  Trust Company provides a
broad spectrum of  trust services to customers  in banking markets  served by
Valley.   Valley  Trust Company  has over  $3.1 billion of  assets under  its
management, and services its customers through 17 offices in conjunction with
Valley  Banks  located  throughout  Wisconsin.    Services  provided  include
professional  investment  management,   asset  safekeeping  and   accounting,
employee benefit  plan design and  administration, acting as  fiduciary under
wills and trusts, and other specialized financial services to individuals and
corporations.

      Insurance Services, Inc.

      Valley Bank, Appleton acquired Insurance Services, Inc. (ISI)  in 1984.
ISI is one of the largest  independent insurance agencies in Wisconsin, based
on  premium  volume,  with a  staff  of  60  employees  representing over  40
insurance companies.

      Through the  Commercial  Lines  Department,  ISI  provides  specialized
insurance coverages for corporate clients, both large and small.

      ISI's Personal Lines Department  provides the insurance coverage needed
by families and  individuals.  ISI's agents provide a  full line of insurance
coverages  (homeowner, automobile, life and health).  These services are also
offered  through agents  located  in Valley  Banks  in Appleton,  Green  Bay,
Madison, Milwaukee and Janesville.

      ISI's Financial Services Division provides business with a wide variety
of  group life,  health and disability  plans which range  from fully insured
plans to  completely self-insured  plans depending  upon size  and needs.   A
Surety Division  provides bonding to contractors,  financial institutions and
municipalities.  ISI  also has a Claims Department and  serves as third party
administrator to  those  customers who  wish  to self-insure  their  Workers'
Compensation exposures.  Credit  life and disability insurance needs  and tax
deferred  annuities  are  made  available through  selected  licensed  Valley
bankers.

<PAGE>
      Valley Bancard, Inc.

      Created  in 1986 to provide VISA and MasterCard products and processing
for  customers of  Valley  Banks,  Valley  Bancard  processed  in  excess  of
$500 million  VISA and MasterCard sales drafts from more than 7,800 merchants
in  1993.  At  1993 year end  Valley Bancard had  approximately 65,000 active
accounts with balances of $59 million.  Products provided for cardholders are
VISA,  MasterCard and MasterCard Gold cards.  Products provided for merchants
are standard paper, point of sale  and electronic draft capture processing of
their VISA, MasterCard, DISCOVER and American Express transactions.

      Valley Securities, Inc.

      Valley began  offering discount securities brokerage  services in 1983,
and since 1986  has conducted  this business through  a separate  subsidiary.
The services available  through Valley Securities' nine locations include the
traditional  discount  trading  activities,  as well  as  recommendations  of
selected  investments, including mutual  funds, unit trusts  and variable and
fixed  annuities.   One of  the larger  nationwide securities  clearing firms
executes and clears transactions initiated by Valley Securities.

      Community Life Insurance Company

      Since  1981, this subsidiary has  acted as a  reinsurer in underwriting
credit life insurance  and credit  accident and health  insurance related  to
loans made by Valley Banks.

Competition

      Each Valley Bank  competes actively with other banks located in or near
its  service  area.   Such  competition  encompasses  efforts  to obtain  new
deposits,  type and convenience of  services offered, loan  rates charged and
interest rates  paid on time deposits,  as well as other  aspects of banking.
In addition, all of  the Valley Banks encounter substantial  competition from
other  financial  institutions engaged  in the  business  of making  loans or
accepting  savings deposits such  as savings  and loan  associations, savings
banks, small  loan companies,  credit unions, certain  governmental agencies,
insurance companies, and various mutual and money market funds.

      Those financial service subsidiaries which deal directly with customers
also  encounter  vigorous  competition,   including  that  from  much  larger
organizations.  Valley  Trust Company  competes with similar  units of  other
bank  holding  companies, trust  departments  of individual  banks  and other
entities which  concentrate upon certain  of the services it  offers, such as
investment management firms and employee  benefit consultants.  ISI  competes
with  numerous  independent  insurance   agencies  and  also  with  insurance
companies which write coverage directly through employed agents.  Other large
banking  organizations throughout the United States, as well as affiliates of
large, diverse businesses,  solicit credit card  accounts in Valley's  market
area.   Valley  Securities  competes with  a  number of  nationwide  discount
brokerage  firms, as well as with many national and regional investment firms
which, because of  legal restrictions upon  bank holding company  affiliates,
are able to provide a much broader range of services.

Employees

      At December 31, 1993,  Valley and its subsidiaries had  2,807 full-time
equivalent employees.  Valley provides a wide range of benefits to employees,
including educational opportunities, and  considers its employee relations to
be  excellent.   Valley  conducts extensive  training  programs in  order  to
enhance the job-related  knowledge and skills of its people  and to imbue its
employees with a sales-oriented approach to customers.  Eligible employees of
Valley participate in pension,  thrift and sharing and stock  option plans as
well as group life and major medical insurance programs.

Supervision and Regulation

      The operations  of financial  institutions, including bank  and savings
and loan holding  companies, commercial banks  and savings associations,  are
highly  regulated, both at  the federal and state  levels.  Numerous statutes
and regulations affect  the businesses  of Valley and  its financial  service
subsidiaries.

      Valley's  own activities are regulated by the BHCA, which requires each
holding company to  obtain the prior  approval of  the Federal Reserve  Board
(the "Board") before  acquiring direct  or indirect ownership  or control  of
more than five percent of the voting  shares of any bank.  (M&I's acquisition
of Valley requires  such approval, as well as  the approval of the  OTS under
HOLA.)   The BHCA prohibits acquisition  of shares of a  bank located outside
the  state in  which  the operations  of  Valley's banking  subsidiaries  are
principally conducted, unless specifically authorized by statute of the other
state.   Since 1987, Wisconsin law has permitted interstate bank acquisitions
within  those  states  in a  nine-state  region  which  have adopted  similar
legislation.   Laws reciprocal  to the  Wisconsin law  have  been enacted  by
Illinois,  Indiana,   Iowa,  Kentucky,  Michigan,  Minnesota  and  Ohio.    A
Wisconsin-based  holding company, such as  Valley, may also  acquire banks in
certain other states which  expressly permit nationwide acquisitions  with no
requirement for reciprocal legislation.

      The  BHCA   also  prohibits,   with  certain  exceptions   for  savings
associations  and  other   entities  engaged   in  bank-related   activities,
acquisition  of more than  five percent of  the voting shares  of any company
which is not a bank and the conduct by a holding company (directly or through
its subsidiaries) of any  business other than banking or  performing services
for its subsidiaries, without prior approval of the Board.

      Pursuant  to the BHCA, Valley  is supervised and  regularly examined by
the Board.

      As a  savings and loan holding company, Valley is subject to oversight,
regulation and examination  by the  Office of Thrift  Supervision (OTS).   In
addition, the OTS has  enforcement authority over Valley and  its non-insured
subsidiaries  which also permits the  OTS to restrict  or prohibit activities
that are determined to be a serious risk to a savings association.

      Each  Valley  Bank  is  also  supervised  and  regularly   examined  by
regulatory agencies pursuant  to applicable  banking laws.   The deposits  of
each Valley Bank (except those which are savings associations) are insured by
the Bank Insurance Fund  (BIF) administered by the Federal  Deposit Insurance
Corporation  (FDIC).  State-chartered  Valley Banks and  Valley Trust Company
are  supervised by  the Office of  the Wisconsin Commissioner  of Banking and
regularly  examined by  that agency  and the  FDIC.   Valley Banks  which are
national banks  are supervised and  regularly examined  by the Office  of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and are also subject to  regulation by the
Board and the FDIC.

      Western and United  are supervised and regularly examined by regulatory
agencies  pursuant to applicable laws  governing savings associations.   As a
federally charted savings association, Western is subject  to supervision and
regulation  by the OTS.  As a  state chartered savings association, United is
subject  to supervision  and  regulation  by  the Wisconsin  Commissioner  of
Savings and  Loan.  The deposits  of savings associations are  insured by the
Savings Association Insurance  Fund (SAIF)  administered by the  FDIC.  As  a
result, both Western and United are  subject to regulation and supervision by
the FDIC, to the extent deemed necessary by the FDIC to insure the safety and
soundness  of the SAIF.   Regulatory requirements applicable  to them include
maintenance  of a sufficient portion  of assets in  housing-related loans and
assets to meet a "qualified thrift lender" test; and limitations upon certain
types of loans and investments.

      The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
(FIRREA) has significantly affected  the operation of financial institutions,
including banks, bank  holding companies  and savings associations.   As  was
authorized  by FIRREA, deposit insurance premiums payable by the Valley Banks
to the BIF and SAIF have been significantly increased.  FIRREA also redefined
applicable  capital   standards  for  banks  and   savings  associations  and
significantly  increased  the  minimum  levels  of  capital  required  to  be
maintained by savings associations.

<PAGE>
      Regulations  adopted  by the  FDIC,  the  OCC  and  the OTS  since  the
enactment of  FIRREA have  established minimum leverage  capital requirements
for banks  and savings associations.   Western, United,  and all  of Valley's
banks are in compliance  with the minimum capital requirements  applicable to
them.

      The  Federal  Deposit Insurance  Corporation  Improvement  Act of  1991
(FDICIA) provides  for,  among other  things,  establishment by  the  federal
banking  agencies  of revised  risk-based  capital  requirements designed  to
account for interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risks of
nontraditional  activities; the  recapitalization  of BIF;  enhanced  federal
supervision of  depository institutions, including greater  authority for the
appointment of  a conservator or receiver  for undercapitalized institutions;
the  establishment of  risk-based deposit  insurance premiums;  limitation of
equity investments  and  other  activities permissible  to  state  banks  and
savings  associations to  those permissible  for national  banks and  federal
savings associations,  respectively; liberalization  of the  qualified thrift
lender  test;  greater  restrictions  on transactions  with  affiliates;  and
mandated consumer  protection disclosures  with respect to  deposit accounts.
Certain provisions of FDICIA  which are potentially applicable to  Valley and
its affiliates are discussed below.

      FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to define five levels of
regulatory   capital   (i.e.,  well   capitalized,   adequately  capitalized,
undercapitalized,     significantly    undercapitalized     and    critically
undercapitalized), and mandates specific enforcement actions that the federal
banking agencies  must take  with  respect to  depository institutions  whose
capital level is significantly below the required minimums.  Depending on the
capital level which the institution fails to meet, such an institution may be
prohibited  from  increasing  its  assets,  acquiring   another  institution,
establishing  a branch,  engaging in  any new  activities, or  making capital
distributions.    Any  company  controlling such  an  institution,  including
Valley,  may be  required  to guarantee  that  the institution  will  achieve
minimum capital levels in accordance with a capital restoration plan approved
by  the  federal banking  agency.   Other actions  which the  federal banking
agencies  may take with respect to  such an institution include requiring the
issuance  of  additional  voting  securities; placing  limitations  on  asset
growth; mandating  asset reduction;  mandating changes in  senior management;
requiring the divestiture, merger or  acquisition of the institution; placing
restrictions  on executive compensation; and any other action that the agency
deems appropriate.  If the depository institution's capital levels fall below
certain levels, FDICIA  requires that the appropriate federal  banking agency
be appointed as a receiver or conservator of the institution.

      Federal  banking  regulators  have  proposed  and  adopted  regulations
required to implement the provisions of FDICIA.  Among the  more important of
these regulations, the Board,  FDIC, OTS and OCC adopted  uniform regulations
establishing  criteria  to  define  the five  levels  of  regulatory  capital
specified  under FDICIA.   Under those  regulations, all of  the Valley Banks
fall  into the  category of  well-capitalized, and  the provisions  of FDICIA
described in the  preceding paragraph are therefore not expected  to have any
material adverse effect on Valley.

      The  FDIC also adopted a final rule establishing a risk-based insurance
premium assessment system.  Under this regulation, insurance premiums of both
BIF and SAIF insured institutions range between $.23 and $.31 on each $100 of
deposits, depending on the regulatory capital level and supervisory rating of
the  institution.   This  new risk-based  premium  assessment system  is  not
expected  to result in any material increase in insurance premium assessments
applicable  to  Valley  Banks because  of  their  relatively  high levels  of
regulatory capital and generally favorable supervisory ratings.  However, the
FDIC  has indicated  it will  regularly review  the adequacy  of the  premium
assessment levels and will make further changes in premium rates as necessary
to assure sufficient reserves are maintained in the insurance funds.

      Other significant  regulatory developments under  FDICIA are summarized
below.   Although applicable to  Valley and  its subsidiaries, none  of these
regulations  are expected  to have  any material  adverse effect  on Valley's
financial condition or future  operations.  The FDIC has  adopted regulations
requiring  all insured depository institutions  with $500 million  or more in
assets  to have  annual audits  by an  independent  public accountant  and an
independent audit  committee  made up  of  outside directors,  and  requiring
annual reports by  management on its  responsibility for preparing  financial
statements and establishing and maintaining an internal control structure for
financial reporting  and compliance, unless these  requirements are satisfied
at the  parent holding  company level.   The  Board, FDIC  and  OTS have  all
adopted rules further  limiting the types and  amounts of loans  that insured
depository institutions may  make to their officers, directors  and principal
shareholders.    The FDIC  adopted  a  rule  prohibiting  insured  depository
institutions from soliciting deposits  by offering rates significantly higher

<PAGE>
than  community rates or  the national rates  paid on deposits  of comparable
maturity.   The Board, FDIC, OCC  and OTS have established  uniform rules and
guidelines  for  real  estate  lending,  but  these  rules  do  not  preclude
individual institutions from establishing their  own specific standards.  The
FDIC  adopted  a rules  which  prohibits, with  certain  exceptions including
investments in majority-owned subsidiaries, any state bank from  acquiring or
retaining  any equity  investment of  a type not  permissible for  a national
bank.   Finally, the  Board adopted a  rule under  the Truth  in Savings  Act
imposing certain disclosure and advertising requirements for interest-bearing
transaction  and savings accounts,  and requiring  that individual  and other
non-business accounts  offered by  depository institutions be  accompanied by
disclosures  of  the terms,  conditions, fees  and  yields applicable  to the
account.  This rule also establishes  standardized terms that must be used in
connection with interest-bearing deposits.

      Certain  other  rules  mandated  under  FDICIA  have  been proposed  or
adopted, including rules  limiting the  activities of state  banks and  their
subsidiaries  to activities  permissible  for national  banks, uniform  rules
designed  to take interest rate  risk into account  in calculating risk-based
regulatory  capital, rules  addressing  the treatment  of purchased  mortgage
servicing rights for purposes of calculating regulatory capital, and others.

      Proposals for  new legislation or  rule making affecting  the financial
services  industry are continuously being advanced and considered at both the
national and state levels.  There can be no  assurance as to the substance of
any legislation or regulations that may ultimately emerge from such proposals
or what effect they may have on Valley and its operations in the future.

Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions

      The monetary  policies of regulatory authorities,  including the Board,
have a significant effect  on the operating results of holding  companies and
their subsidiary depository institutions.   The Board regulates  the national
supply  of  bank  credit,  and  utilizes  its  powers  in  efforts  to   curb
inflationary  pressures  and combat  economic  recession.    Among the  means
available  to the  Board  are  open  market  operations  in  U.S.  Government
securities,  changes in  the  discount rate  on  member bank  borrowings  and
changes  in reserve requirements against  member bank deposits.   These means
are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution
of  bank loans,  investments  and deposits,  and  their use  may  also affect
interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

      Most  of the Valley Banks  are state banks  and are not  members of the
Federal Reserve  System.  They  are, however,  subject to  regulation by  the
Wisconsin Commissioner of Banking as to required reserves.

      Board monetary policies have  materially affected the operating results
of commercial banks in the past and are expected  to continue to do so in the
future.  The  historic statements of income of Valley  reflect the effects of
monetary policies  during the periods covered thereby.   The nature of future
monetary policies and the effects thereof on the future business and earnings
of Valley and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted.

Glossary of Financial Terms

 Average Balance - The sum of the daily balances at the end of each day divided
 by the number of days in the period.

 Book Value  Per Share -  The value of  a share of  common stock  determined by
 dividing  total shareholders'  equity at the  end of  the period  by the total
 number of common shares then outstanding.

 Cash and  Cash Equivalents - Cash  and cash equivalents include cash on hand,
 amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold.  Generally,  federal funds are
 purchased and sold for one-day periods.

 Common Dividend Payout  Ratio - The percentage of net income  that was paid to
 common shareholders as dividends.

 Earning  Assets - Assets that  generate interest income  and yield-related fee
 income, such as loans, short-term investments, and investment securities.

 Efficiency  Ratio  - A  measurement  of overhead  expense efficiency.    It is
 computed  by dividing  noninterest  expense  by  the  sum  of  fully  taxable-
 equivalent  (FTE)  net  interest  income  and  noninterest  income  (excluding
 security gains or losses on sales).

 Fully  Taxable-Equivalent Income (FTE) - Refers to tax-exempt income which has
 been converted  to put tax-exempt  and taxable  income on  a comparable  basis
 before application of income taxes.

 Gap  - The amount by which interest-rate sensitive assets exceed interest-rate
 sensitive  liabilities  for a  designated  time  period is  referred  to as a 
 positive gap.  An excess of liabilities would represent a negative gap.

 Interest-bearing Liabilities - Liabilities upon which interest is paid for the
 use  of funds, such  as savings and time  deposits, short-term borrowings, and
 long-term borrowings.

 Interest-rate  Sensitive Assets/Liabilities  -  Earning  assets and  interest-
 bearing liabilities whose yields and rates vary within a specific time period,
 due to either maturity or in association with market interest rates.

 Internal Capital  Generation Rate  - The  rate at  which  equity is  generated
 internally.  It is  computed by dividing earnings retained by  the corporation
 (net income less dividends) by the average balance of shareholders' equity for
 a given period.

 Liquidity -  The ability of a  corporation to generate adequate  funds to meet
 its cash flow requirements.

<PAGE>
 Money  Market Interest  Rates -  Interest  rates which  are determined  by the
 demand  and supply  of funds  in the  money market.   These rates  include the
 federal funds rate, treasury bill rate and national commercial/prime rates.

 Net Interest Income  - The difference between total interest  income and total
 interest expense.

 Net Rate Spread - The difference  between the yield on interest-earning assets
 (FTE basis) and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

 Net Yield on Earning Assets - A measurement of how effectively the corporation
 utilizes its earning assets  in relationship to  the interest cost of  funding
 them.  It is  computed by dividing net interest income  (FTE basis) by average
 interest-earning assets.

 Nonaccrual Loans - Loans on which interest accruals have been discontinued due
 to  the borrower's financial difficulties.   Interest income on these loans is
 reported on the cash basis as it is collected.

 Nonperforming  Loans  - The  total  of nonaccrual  loans,  past due  loans and
 restructured loans.

 Past Due Loans - Loans  that are contractually past due 90 or more  days as to
 interest or principal.

 Provision for Loan Losses  - A charge to earnings which  appears on the income
 statement.  This charge increases the reserve for loan losses.

 Reserve  for Loan  Losses - A  valuation allowance offset  against total loans
 which  appears on  the  balance sheet.   This  reserve  represents the  amount
 considered by management to be adequate to cover estimated losses  inherent in
 the loan portfolio.

 Restructured  Loans  -  A loan  is  considered restructured  when  a  bank for
 economic  or  legal reasons  related  to the  debtor's  financial difficulties
 grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider.

 Return  on Average  Assets -  A measure  of profitability  that indicates  how
 effectively the corporation utilized its assets.  It is calculated by dividing
 net income by total average assets.

 Return on Average Equity - A measure of profitability that  indicates what the
 corporation  earned  on its  shareholders' investment.    It is  calculated by
 dividing net income by total average shareholders' equity.

 Risk-Based  Capital - Tier I - As  defined by regulatory authorities, includes
 among  other  things  common  stock,  surplus,  retained  earnings,  qualified
 preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries reduced by
 certain intangible assets.

 Risk-Based Capital  - Tier II - As defined by regulatory authorities, includes
 the qualified portion  of the reserve for loan losses  and qualified long-term
 borrowings.

<PAGE>
 Risk-Based Capital - Total - The sum of Tier I and Tier II Risk-Based Capital.
 Standby Letter of Credit - An instrument issued by a bank which represents  an
 obligation  to  honor  demands  for  payment  upon  compliance  with specified
 conditions.  It may be used to back up a commercial paper issue or to serve as
 a guarantee of funding for a real  estate project.  If a customer defaults  on
 loan payments,  the issuer of the standby letter  would be called upon to make
 the  payments.  Standby letters of credit represent contingent liabilities and
 therefore they are not included on a bank's balance sheet.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 See ITEM  1.   "Business  --  Pending  Merger  with  Marshall  &  Ilsley
 Corporation" for  information concerning  Valley's  merger into  M&I which  is
 incorporated herein by reference.

       The following  discussion will  cover  Valley's results  of  operations,
 asset quality,  financial position,  liquidity, interest rate  sensitivity and
 capital resources for the years 1991  through 1993.  The information  included
 in this discussion  is intended to  assist readers in  their analysis of,  and
 should  be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and
 related notes  and other supplemental information presented  elsewhere in this
 report.  Throughout  this discussion, the  term "bank(s)" includes  commercial
 banks and savings associations, unless otherwise indicated.

 Results of Operations

 Overview

       Valley reported net  income of $45.903 million  in 1993, an  increase of
 15.39% from the $39.779  million in 1992.  Net  income per share was  $2.26 in
 1993, compared  with $2.07 (adjusted for  three for two stock  split on August
 27, 1993) per share in 1992.   In 1991, net income was $30.666  million, which
 amounted to $1.67 (adjusted) per share.

       In July 1992,  Valley completed  its acquisition of  United Savings  and
 Loan  Association (United).  United, a Wisconsin savings association, is being
 operated  as a  separate  subsidiary  of Valley.    In November  1993,  Valley
 acquired Pierce  County Bank & Trust  Company (Pierce County).   Both of these
 acquisitions  were accounted  for  as  purchases  and  the  results  of  their
 operations  are  included  in  Valley's  results  of  operations  from   their
 acquisition dates forward.

       At  Valley, maintaining  excellent  credit  quality  continues to  be  a
 priority.   Nonperforming  loans as  a  percent of  loans fell  to .65%  as of
 December  31, 1993, down from .86%  at December 31, 1992.   Provision for loan
 losses for 1993 was  $8.970 million as compared  to $8.395 million in  1992, a
 6.8% increase between periods.  Reserve for  loan losses as a percent of loans
 increased  to 1.27% at December 31, 1993  as compared to 1.26% at December 31,
 1992.  Reserve for loan losses as a percent of  nonperforming loans, increased
 to  196%,  up from  146% a  year ago.    This ratio  represents the  extent of
 coverage of nonperforming  loans in the  reserve for loan  losses.  Net  loans
 charged  off as  a percent of  average loans  was .25%  for 1993.   This ratio
 compares to .21% reported  at year end 1992 and  .27% at year end 1991.   This
 net charge off ratio compares favorably to other financial institutions in the
 Midwest and is a positive reflection on Valley's overall credit quality.

       During  1993, Valley  continued  recognizing the  benefits from  several
 expense  reduction  initiatives undertaken  in 1990  and  1991 to  enhance its
 operating efficiencies and reduce its operating costs.  Valley's bank backroom
 operations  and  other  bank  support  functions  have  been  centralized  and
 standardized at two regional service centers.  Valley also 

<PAGE>
 converted the  majority of  its banks to  an in-house  data processing  system
 (VISION) and centralized and standardized mortgage lending operations.   These
 initiatives  have eliminated  many  duplications of  effort and  significantly
 enhanced operating efficiencies.  

       During 1993, the continued low interest rate environment fueled mortgage
 lending activities which resulted in strong fee income, along with significant
 gains  on sales of mortgage loans to  the secondary market.  Valley recognized
 $6.786 million in gains  on sale of mortgage loans to the  secondary market in
 1993, up from the $3.274 million recognized in 1992.

       Earnings also benefitted  from an increase  in fully-taxable  equivalent
 (FTE) net  interest income  between years  of $7.591  million.  This  increase
 resulted  primarily from growth in  average earning assets  between periods of
 7.5%, or $280.226 million.

       Table 1 highlights the  major factors affecting the changes  in earnings
 per  share  during the  last  three years.    Growth in  net  interest income,
 stability in the provision for loan losses and increases in noninterest income
 all contributed to the improved earnings.

       Bank  analysts consider 15.00% return on average equity and 1.00% return
 on average assets to be benchmarks for high performing financial institutions
 in the Midwest.   Valley's return on average equity in 1993 was 13.33%,
 compared to 13.35% and 11.68% reported in 1992 and 1991, respectively.  Return
 on average assets reached  1.05% in 1993,  up from .98% and  .82% in 1992  and
 1991, respectively.    Table  2  highlights  certain  relationships between
 significant financial ratios.

       The remainder of this discussion provides a more detailed explanation of
 factors affecting  the changes  in results  of operations  and the  changes in
 financial position of Valley for the past three years.

 Net Interest Income

       Net interest income is  the most significant component of earnings.  For
 analytical purposes, interest  earned on tax exempt assets, such as industrial
 development revenue bonds  and state and municipal obligations, is adjusted to
 an FTE  basis.  This adjustment is based upon the applicable federal corporate
 income tax rate (currently 35%), and any interest expense  which is disallowed
 as a deduction in connection  with carrying these tax exempt assets,  and thus
 facilitates  a meaningful  comparison between  taxable and  nontaxable earning
 assets.   Table 3 shows  the sources  of interest income  and expense  between
 years and the  variances resulting from fluctuations  in interest rate  (rate)
 and changes  in the amount and  type (volume) of earning  assets and interest-
 bearing liabilities.

</TABLE>

Changes in interest due to volume and rate were defined as follows:  Volume
variance-change in average balance multiplied by prior year rate; Rate
variance-change in rate multiplied by prior year average balance; and Rate/
Volume variance-change in average balance multiplied by the change in rate.
The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated
proportionately to volume variance and rate variance based on the relationship
of the absolute dollar change in each.

(1)  Nonperforming loans and mortgages held for  sale are included in  average
     balances used to determine average rates.
(2)  Includes time deposits with other banks and investment securities
     available for sale.

Changes in interest due to volume and rate were defined as follows:   Volume
variance-change in average balance multiplied by  prior year rate;  Rate
variance-change in rate multiplied by prior year average balance;  and Rate/
Volume variance-change in average balance multiplied by the change in rate.
The change in  interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated
proportionately to volume variance and rate variance based on the relationship
of the absolute dollar change in each.

(1)  Nonperforming loans and mortgages held for sale are included in average
     balances used to determine average rates.

      Net interest  income on an  FTE basis increased  to $180.516 million  in
1993, compared  with $172.924  million in 1992  and $150.150 million  in 1991.
This increase  of $7.592 million  in net interest income in 1993  was due to a
larger increase in the  volume of earning  assets in 1993 (a $280.226  million
increase), than in  the increase in  interest-bearing liabilities  (a $182.212
million increase) which accounted  for $17.607 million of the increase in  net
interest income.  

      The total  increase in average  earning assets  was primarily due  to an
increase  in average loans  of $268.263 million.   Approximately  55%, of this
growth  was  external,  due  to  acquisitions,  while  the remaining  45%  was
internally  generated.     Interest-bearing  deposits  increased  by  $200.800
million in 1993.  Approximately 55% of this growth was due to acquisitions.  

      The  continued  volume  of  mortgage  loan  refinancings has  negatively
impacted Valley's net interest  income.  The impact on earning assets from the
declining  rate environment  (a  decrease  of $35.793  million) was  offset by
aggressive  repricing  of  interest-bearing  liabilities  (a  $25.778  million
decrease).   The resulting  $10.015 million  decrease in  net interest  income
from rate  variances was  offset  by  a positive  volume variance  of  $17.607
million between  1992 and 1993.   As a result of  these factors, Valley's  net
interest margin  declined to  4.47% in  1993, down from  4.61% for 1992.   The
impact of interest  not recorded on nonperforming  loans was not material  for
the reported periods.   See "Interest  Rate Sensitivity" below for  additional
information as to the effect of rate changes.

      The increase  in FTE net  interest income in  1992 over  1991 of $22.774
million  was primarily  a  result  of an  increase  in the  volume of  average
earning  assets of  $321.252  million,  partially offset  by a  slightly lower
volume  increase  in  average interest-bearing  liabilities.   An  increase in
average loans  of  $315.717  million  in  1992  over 1991  accounted  for  the
majority  of  the  $321.252  million  increase   in  average  earning  assets.
Approximately  64% of  this  loan  growth resulted  from acquisitions  and the
balance was internally generated.

      Contributing  to  the  increase  in  net  interest  income in  1992  was
Valley's aggressive repricing of  its interest-bearing liabilities, as general
market rates  declined, in  late 1991  and early  1992.   The decrease  in the
average rate on earning assets of  117 basis points was more  than offset by a
148 basis point decrease  in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities,
resulting in a $2.800 million increase in net  interest income.  The impact of
interest  not  recorded  on  nonperforming  loans  was  not material  for  the
reported periods.

      The  net interest  margin  was affected  not  only by  the  increase  in
average balances  and declining  interest rates, as  noted above, but  also by
changes in the mix  of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Table
4 shows the sources and  mix of net interest income.  As shown in this  table,
the  mix of nontaxable  interest income  to total  interest on  earning assets
declined significantly from 1991  to 1993.  Valley's commitment to lending  is
evident in the increase in the  relationship of interest and fees  on loans as
a  percent of  total interest  on earning  assets for  the years  shown.   The
decrease  in the  level of  nontaxable  interest income  was caused  by Valley
employing other  investment alternatives  in response  to the decrease  in the
FTE yields  of "bank  qualified" municipal  obligations, in relation  to other
taxable investment alternatives.

Provision for Loan Losses

      In 1993,  the  provision for  loan  losses  amounted to  $8.970  million
compared with  $8.395 million in 1992  and $8.369 million in  1991.  The  1993
provision is comprised of two elements: 1) restoration of the reserve for  the
1993  net charge-offs,  amounting to  $7.646  million;  and 2)  establishing a
reserve on  the $173.148 million increase  in loans  outstanding from December
31, 1992 (excluding the  impact of Pierce County's  loans outstanding at  date
of acquisition), amounting to $1.167 million.

Noninterest Income

      Total  noninterest income  amounted to $66.061 million  in 1993 compared
to $59.292  million in 1992 and $48.018 million in 1991,  an 11.4% increase in
1993 from 1992  and a 23.5%  increase in  1992 from 1991.   All categories  of
noninterest  income reflect increases due to Valley's  acquisitions of Western
Federal and  Great American  in April 1991,  United in July  1992, and  Pierce
County  in November  1993.    Their  results  of  operations are  included  in
Valley's from  the dates  of acquisition  forward.   Table 5  shows the  major

      Service  charges on  deposit accounts  make  up  the largest  portion of
noninterest income. Service charges increased by  $1.460 million, or 9.3% over
the  amounts  recorded in  1992.    Valley  has  repeatedly increased  deposit
service fees at subsidiary banks to  help offset increased operating  expenses
such  as the  FDIC insurance  premiums  which  have increased  dramatically in
recent years.  See "Noninterest Expense".

      Trust  service  fees  originate from  the  activities  of  Valley  Trust
Company, which has over  $3.1 billion of assets under management and  services
customers  in 17 Valley  Bank locations  throughout Wisconsin.   Trust service
fees  recorded in  1993 were  $12.631 million,  a $.176 million  increase over
1992.

      Other  service  charges,  commissions  and fees  recorded  in  1993 were
$11.839 million,  a 7.2% increase over the $11.043 million in 1992 and a 27.3%
increase over the $8.673  million in 1991.   This category is comprised mainly
of loan commissions, safe  deposit fees, check charges  and fees from Valley's
securities operation.   Valley  Securities, Inc.  reported a  23% increase  in
revenues over  the 1992  amounts  recorded, attributable  to increased  market
activity  along  with  sales  through  ten  Valley  Banks  located  throughout
Wisconsin.  Loan commissions recorded in 1993 increased  by 10%, mainly due to
continued increased mortgage lending.

      Insurance  related  revenues   are  generated  primarily  by   Insurance
Services, Inc. through the sale of  commercial and personal insurance coverage
and  by  Community  Life  Insurance  Company   through  the  sale  of   credit
reinsurance.  In  early 1991, Valley began  to place a  major emphasis  on the
sale of  tax deferred annuities (TDAs).  Income from the sale of TDAs totalled
$1.814 million in 1993, compared to $2.206 million and $1.355 million in  1992
and 1991, respectively.  Total insurance  related revenue, including the  sale
of TDAs, has  grown from $2.815 million in 1984  to $7.325 million in 1993,  a
compound growth rate of 11.2%.

      In 1993,  Valley Bancard generated  noninterest income  from its  credit
card processing activity of $7.186 million, a  16.9% increase over the  $6.147
million recorded  in 1992  and a  12.5% increase  over the  $5.466 million  in
1991.   Gain on sales  of mortgage loans  to the  secondary market were $6.786
million in  1993 and  $3.274 million in  1992.  These  gains largely  resulted
from the sale of  certain mortgages at a  premium during a  declining interest
rate environment.    Significant gains  on  mortgage  sales to  the  secondary
market are not anticipated for future periods.

      Valley  recognized  accretion  of negative  goodwill  in  the  amount of
$1.576  million in  1993, substantially  all of  which is attributable  to the
United acquisition  completed  on  July  1,  1992.     The  negative  goodwill
attributable to United is  being accreted over a 10 year period, commencing on
July 1, 1992, in equal annual amounts of $1.537 million.

      Other  noninterest income  is derived  from  a  wide range  of services,
collectively totalling  $2.048 million in 1993  compared to  $1.422 million in
1992.

<PAGE>
      Net  securities  gains amounted  to  $.497  million  in  1993 and  $.864
million  in 1992.    Securities  classified  as  available  for  sale  had  an
estimated market value in  excess of their carrying amounts of $6.755  million
at  December 31,  1993.   Valley has  no current  intention of  selling  these
securities, but they may not be held until maturity.

Noninterest Expense

      Noninterest expense increased to  $164.481 million in  1993, compared to
$160.102 million  in 1992  and $140.999 million  in 1991.   All categories  of
noninterest  expenses  reflect  increases  due  to  Valley's  acquisitions  of
Western  Federal and Great  American in  April 1991, United in  July 1992, and
Pierce County in November  1993.  Their results of operations are included  in
Valley's from  their dates of  acquisition forward.   Table 6  shows the major
categories of  noninterest expense for 1993, 1992 and 1991, and the percentage
change between years.

</TABLE>

      Valley's efficiency  ratio (noninterest  expense as  a percent of  total
FTE income excluding securities gains or losses)  decreased to 66.84% in 1993,
from 69.20% in 1992.  This  decrease reflects the cost control measures Valley
implemented in 1991, 1992, and 1993.  

      The  largest component  of  noninterest expense  is salaries  and wages.
Salaries and  wages increased  to $72.200  million  in 1993,  up from  $66.542
million in  1992 and $59.579  million in 1991.   Pensions  and other  employee
benefits totalled $20.406 million in 1993, 

<PAGE>
compared to $23.636 million in  1992 and $17.710 million in  1991.  These  two
categories make up over 56% of Valley's total noninterest expense.  

      Valley  currently offers post retirement health care benefits to retired
employees over the  age of 54 who have  rendered at least  10 years of service
to Valley.   These benefits are  subject to  deductibles, copayment provisions
and other  limitations.  Only those  employees retiring on  or before December
31, 1994  will be  eligible for such  benefits.  Valley  adopted Statement  of
Financial Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Post
Retirement  Benefits Other  Than Pensions", on  January 1, 1993.   Pursuant to
this new  standard, the  expected cost of  these benefits must  be charged  to
expense during the years that the employees render service.  As of January  1,
1993,  Valley's  accumulated post  retirement  benefit  obligation  (also  its
transition obligation) totalled $2.855 million.   In accordance with this  new
standard,  this  unfunded liability  will  be  amortized  over  a twenty  year
period.   The annual  expense for  1993, in  conjunction with the  adoption of
SFAS No. 106, was $365,000.

      In 1992 the Financial Accounting Standards  Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
112 "Employers'  Accounting for  Post Employment  Benefits."   This  statement
requires  accrual accounting for  the estimated  cost of  benefits provided to
former employees after employment, but before  retirement.  Valley is required
to adopt the  new standard no  later than 1994.  Valley  currently accrues for
severance  benefits  when  identified  and  therefore,  has  determined   that
adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact.

      Equipment  expense increased by  $.481 million  in 1993.   Net occupancy
costs increased by 10.5%  over 1992.   These costs are associated with  owning
and leasing all  of Valley's facilities  and include  depreciation, insurance,
rent, taxes and maintenance.

      Business development,  primarily marketing,  contributions and  employee
reimbursable expenses, increased  by 3.4% in  1993 to $6.503 million  from the
$6.291  million  in 1992.    Increased  marketing  costs  are associated  with
Valley's  entrance  into new  markets, and  support  of  its large  network of
locations.

      Communication and delivery  costs increased to  $6.502 million  in 1993,
up from $6.005  million in  1992 and  $5.408 million in  1991.  This  category
includes telephone, postage and express courier service.

      The  increase in  professional services  reflects the  costs  associated
with complying with additional  regulatory and accounting  regulations.   This
category  is  comprised  mainly of  legal  fees,  accounting  fees,  liability
insurance,  and directors  fees.   This  category of  expenses showed  a 23.0%
increase in 1993 over 1992.

      Processing  costs  reflect the  expenses  Valley  incurs  to  externally
process  the  remainder  of its  banks not  converted  to VISION  and external
processing  at various  non-banking  subsidiaries.   These costs  decreased by
14.0% in 1993, from $3.840 million in 1992 to $3.303 million in 1992.  

<PAGE>
      Intangible  amortization results  primarily  from goodwill  and  deposit
base  intangibles  which  arise  as  part  of  acquisitions  accounted  for as
purchases.   This category  also includes  amortization of  customer lists  at
Insurance  Services,  Inc., and  capitalized  fees  paid in  association  with
Valley's supermarket branch locations.  

      The costs of operating Valley Bancard (excluding  salaries and benefits,
equipment and occupancy) are shown in the credit card category.  The  increase
in costs is a result of increased charge card activity  in 1993.  The increase
in these expenses,  a $.571 million increase in  1993 from 1992, was more than
offset  by  the  increase  in  revenue  generated  by  these  activities  (see
"Noninterest Income").  

      Supplies expense includes  daily office supplies, supplies for  Valley's
internal  print shop,  general supplies  for  the  data processing  center and
equipment and  software costs  not capitalized.   These  costs increased  1.3%
from the 1992  total of $3.317 million.   Valley has made significant  efforts
in controlling these costs throughout 1993 and 1992.

      Other expenses  include  a wide  range  of  miscellaneous expense  types
which  decreased  by  77.2% from  1992  to  1993.   Expenses  associated  with
foreclosed real estate are included in  this category; these expenses totalled
$1.336  million, $1.521  million and  $1.061 million  in 1993,  1992 and 1991,
respectively.

Income Taxes

      Income  tax expense  was $22.118  million  in  1993 compared  to $17.556
million and $9.589  million in 1992 and 1991,  respectively.  The increase  in
tax expense in 1993 of $4.562 million over  1992 resulted primarily from three
factors: 1) an increase  of income before income  taxes of $10.685 million, 2)
a  decrease  in nontaxable  interest  income of  $3.978  million, and  3)  the
corporate  tax rate  increase in 1993  from 34% to  35%, which resulted  in an
increase in tax expense of $.560 million in 1993.

      The increase  in  tax  expense in  1992  of  $7.967  million  over  1991
resulted primarily  from two  factors:   1) an  increase of $5.807  million of
Federal tax  expense and $.996 million  of State tax  expense (net of  Federal
benefit) resulting from increased income before  taxes of $17.080 million; and
2)  an  increase of  $1.283  million  of  federal tax  expense  resulting from
decreased nontaxable interest income of $3.774 million.  

      On  January 1, 1993, Valley adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."  The effect of adoption of this new standard was not material.  

Reserve for Loan Losses

      The reserve for loan losses (reserve)  totalled $40.411 million or 1.27%
of  total loans  at 1993  year end compared  with $37.921 million  or 1.26% of
total  loans at 1992 year end  and $31.241 million  or 1.20% of total loans at
the end  of 1991.  The  percentage increase in the  reserve from  1991 to 1993
was due primarily to the  1991 and 1992 acquisitions of financial institutions
requiring higher reserves than Valley's.  The level of the reserve is

<PAGE>
established  by management  based upon  an assessment  of overall  risk in the
loan  portfolio.  Valley  uses a loan  grading system  to continuously monitor
problem credits.   A loan  is graded  based upon  a number  of factors,  which
include  collateral values, financial condition of borrowers and assessment of
ultimate  collectibility.   The  reserve is  based upon  reasonable estimates,
from which actual losses  may vary.  Reserve  estimates are reviewed quarterly
and  evaluated based upon current conditions relating  to individual customers
and the economy in general.  Adjustments to the reserve are reflected  through
the  provision  for  loan  losses.    Valley  implemented  a  new  method   of
establishing  and evaluating the reserve levels at all of its affiliate banks,
based upon current  regulatory methodology, in 1992.  This method sets reserve
requirements based  upon a combination of  estimated potential  losses plus an
additional   percentage  of  the  remaining  balance  of  problem  loans,  and
establishes  a general reserve based  upon the loan composition  of the bank's
loan portfolio.   Overall, reserves  were determined to  be adequate based  on
the new methodology.  

      Loans charged off, net of recoveries,  totalled $7.646 million in  1993,
compared  with   $5.999  million  and  $6.894   million  in   1992  and  1991,
respectively.   Net loans  charged off as a percent  of loans amounted to .25%
in 1993.    This percentage  compares  to  .21% and  .27%  in 1992  and  1991,
respectively.    Table  7  shows  a five  year  summary  of reserve  activity,
including charge  offs,  recoveries and  provision  for  loan losses  and  the
reserve allocated  by loan type.   The allocation  of reserve  is provided for
analytical purposes.    Loan classifications  vary  from  those shown  in  the
consolidated statements of financial condition.

 Asset Quality

      The most significant  risk of loss  in a financial  institution is  from
its loan portfolio.   Valley manages its loan  portfolio to limit risk through
initial  review  of  credit  applications,  approval  of  loans  by  a  review
committee and loan documentation and compliance  procedures.  Valley also  has
a corporate credit administration and loan  review staff.  This staff performs
loan reviews at subsidiary banks.  This review process assists banks in  early
recognition of problem  credits.  This staff  also provides expertise in  loan
workouts  to limit credit  losses.   Valley's banks  prepare quarterly problem
loan action reports (PLARs) to monitor  nonperforming loans and determine  the
adequacy  of the  reserve.   All loans  classified for  regulatory purposes as
loss, doubtful  or substandard  are included  in the  PLARs.   The PLARs  also
include all loans classified as nonperforming.

      Valley's  lending philosophy is to make high-quality  loans to Wisconsin
consumers  and businesses,  allowing  the  banks to  efficiently  monitor  and
control credit risk.   The majority of  the portfolio is composed of  loans to
individuals and  small  and  medium-sized  businesses.   Consistent  with  its
corporate-wide  lending and  investment policies,  Valley's  banks' portfolios
have  no foreign loans,  energy loans  or out-of-market  credit card balances.
Valley's loan  underwriting policies  discourage the  making of  out-of-market
real  estate  loans  and  loans  relating  to highly  leveraged  transactions.
Valley's  banks do  not hold  non-investment  grade  debt securities  in their
investment  portfolios and  Valley does  not invest  in any  interest  only or
principal only investment securities.

      Loan loss  exposure is  also limited  through industry  diversification.
Valley's loan portfolio  is well diversified  with no  excessive concentration
in  any one industry.   Agricultural  loans at  Valley represent approximately
6.4% of  the portfolio, while loans  to finance  non-owner occupied commercial
real estate  development amounted to approximately  $485 million,  or 15.2% of
year end  1993 loans.    Valley does  a  limited  amount of  lease  financing,
comprised primarily  of  leases to  individuals  and  small and  medium  sized
businesses.   Leases outstanding  amounted to  $17.0 million  at December  31,
1993 compared to $12.3 million at December 31, 1992.

      Senior management also  reviews the PLARs  quarterly with  the corporate
credit administration  and loan  review staff  to determine  if there are  any
trends or  uncertainties which management  reasonably expects will  materially
impact  future  operating  results,  liquidity,  or  capital  resources.    In
addition, senior management determines if  there is any  information regarding
large  credits  that may  cause management  to  question the  ability of  such
borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms.

      Valley  has an  environmental  policy which  establishes  procedures  to
limit  the  exposure  for  loss  related  to  environmental  problems  on  any
properties  foreclosed upon  or properties  securing extensions  of credit  by
Valley.    This  policy  generally  requires   the  borrower  to  complete  an
environmental questionnaire and calls  for an on  site inspection of the  real
estate securing the  loan.  The  policy also  requires that,  prior to  taking
title to any real  property by foreclosure,  an investigation must be made  of
the property to determine if there is any potential environmental liability.

Nonperforming Loans and Assets

      In accordance with regulatory standards, loans are placed in  nonaccrual
status  when  they  reach  a  prescribed  delinquency  stage,  generally  when
payments are  90 days  past  due or  when other  events occur  which make  the
collection of all principal and interest owing on the loan questionable.

      Nonperforming loans, which  include nonaccrual loans, loans past due  90
days or more  and loans with restructured  terms, totalled $20.586 million  at
the end of 1993,  down from the  $25.993 million and $38.501 million  reported
at year end 1992 and 1991, respectively.   Nonperforming loans as a percent of
loans outstanding fell to .65% at year end  1993, compared to .86% at year end
1992 and 1.47% at year  end 1991.   The 1993 nonperforming loan percentage  is
the lowest  ever reported by  Valley.   This reflects  Valley's commitment  to
maintaining excellent credit quality.

      Nonperforming assets, which  include nonperforming loans and other  real
estate  owned acquired in  foreclosure, totalled  $22.880 million  at year end
1993,  compared to $29.938  million and  $43.214 million at year  end 1992 and
1991, respectively.  

      In addition to the loans classified  as nonperforming, there were  other
loans  aggregating approximately  $66 million  at  December  31, 1993  and $70
million at  December  31, 1992,  where  management  is closely  following  the
borrowers' ability to  continue to comply  with loan payment  terms.   Current
conditions do not warrant classification of  these loans as nonperforming, nor
is any principal loss on these loans considered likely at this time.   Table 8
shows balances of nonperforming  loans and assets, reserve for loan losses and
key asset quality performance ratios for the  last five years.  Table  9 shows
the impact nonperforming loans  have had on Valley's  interest income for  the
last five years.

      Valley's  credit quality compares very favorably with other bank holding
companies in the Midwest.   The level  of nonperforming loans as a  percent of
loans is  among the best  in the  Midwest.   The net  loans charged  off as  a
percent  of average loans  of .25%  also compares favorably with  peers in the
Midwest.  Valley places  a high priority on maintaining the credit quality  of
its  loan portfolio.   Emphasis  is placed  on  hiring and  maintaining highly
skilled loan  officers.  A  thorough review  and analysis  of credit  requests
along with  proper  follow-up  of  supporting documentation,  including  legal
filings  and  current  financial   statements  of  borrowers,   are  necessary
procedures  for  maintaining  sound   credit  quality.    Valley's  management
believes that  early recognition  of problem  loans is  the key  to minimizing
losses.     Valley  evaluates  its  reserve  in  relation   to  the  level  of
nonperforming loans, measuring its adequacy to sustain anticipated losses.

Financial Position

      Total average assets  grew to  $4.360 billion  in 1993,  an increase  of
$280.161 million  over 1992 average assets  of $4.080  billion.  Approximately
$11.0  million of this  growth was  external (acquisitions)  and $92.6 million
was internally generated.   Average earning assets have consistently accounted
for  over 90%  of total  average  assets.  Average earning  assets represented
92.6%  of total average  assets for  1993.  Average loans  increased to $3.112
billion in  1993, compared  to $2.843 billion  in 1992 and  $2.528 billion  in
1991.  Of  the increase of $268.263  million, or 9.4%,  in average  loans from
1992, approximately $145 million  from external growth (acquisitions) and $113
million was internally generated.

      In addition to the $268 million in  average loan growth, Valley produced
approximately  $425 million  of real  estate loans  not included  in  year end
balances, which were  packaged and sold into  the secondary market.   Valley's
general  policy is not  to retain  long-term fixed rate mortgages  in its loan
portfolio.

      Loans as a percent of assets have increased  from 63.5% at year end 1989
to 69.5%  at year end 1993.   The five  year compound growth rate  of loans is
11.36% compared to 9.20% for  total assets.  Table 10 shows the loan portfolio
mix  for the past five years.  The table shows Valley's mix of real estate and
commercial loans  changing dramatically in  the past  three years but  this is
due primarily to a reclassification as a  result of Valley's VISION conversion
project.  As banks'  loan portfolios were converted to the VISION system, loan
note  type classifications  were  reviewed  and reclassified,  as appropriate.
Valley's  management believes  the classifications  shown in  1993  accurately
reflect  the  mix  of  its  loan  portfolio.     The  acquisition  of  savings
associations in  1991 and 1992 have  also had an impact  on the mix of  loans.
The three  savings associations'  loan portfolios  were primarily  made up  of
real estate loans.

      Table 11 shows the carrying  value of investment securities for the past
three years.   In 1992, Valley evaluated the  conditions under which it  might
sell any of its  investment securities.  Those  securities that might  be sold
in the future as  part of Valley's efforts to  manage interest rate risk or in
response to changes  in interest rate or other  economic factors are shown  as
investment  securities  available  for  sale.    Total  investment  securities
comprise  21.2% of  total 1993 year end  assets compared to 20.9%  at year end
1992.

      Table  11   also  shows   that  balances   of  collateralized   mortgage
obligations  (CMOs) increased  from  $203.206 million  at the  end of  1991 to
$239.842 million at year end  1992.  Valley changed the mix of its  investment
securities portfolio  in 1992  to include  to include  more CMOs due  to their
credit quality and attractive yields.  CMOs added to the portfolio have  short
estimated lives, favorable yields and excellent credit quality as a result  of
federal  agency collateral.   Valley does  not invest in any  interest only or
principal only CMOs because of their perceived higher risk.

      In December  of 1993, Valley,  in anticipation of  adopting SFAS  115 on
January 1, 1994, conducted a review of its investment portfolio.  This  review
resulted in reclassifications of investment securities available for sale  and
investment securities held to maturity.

      Deposits are the primary source of funds  for Valley.  Average  deposits
accounted for 95.6%  of the total  source of  funds for  1993, with  interest-
bearing  deposits representing  87.0% of  total  average  deposits.   Table 12
shows the breakdown of  deposits at the end  of the  last three years and  the
maturity stratification of time certificates  of deposit in  principal amounts
of  $100,000 or  more  at  year end  1993, which  includes $20.724  million of
brokered CDs.   Brokered CDs offered attractive rates  as a funding source  in
1993.   Valley considers itself  to be asset  driven and  believes that future
loan  growth will  continue to  be primarily funded  at reasonable  rates with
deposits from its own markets.

Investment Securities/Liquidity

      Liquidity is necessary to  ensure that adequate funds will be  available
to support  deposit  outflows and  meet borrowing  requirements of  customers.
This  goal is accomplished  primarily by  maintaining sufficient liquid assets
along with  consistent  core deposit  growth to  fund earning  assets.   Other
sources of  liquidity at Valley are  marketable investment securities,  unused
capacity to borrow funds in the  national money market and brokered  CDs.  The
goal of  management is to  provide maximum investment  earnings and  liquidity
within  prudent  investment  risk  parameters.    The  liquidity  of  Valley's
portfolio  is provided  by a  relatively short average  maturity.   Valley has
specifically identified  investments available  for sale  which could  provide
needed  liquidity.   Interest rate  risk management  is also  considered  when
selecting  investment  securities.    Historically,  Valley  has  managed  the
maturity  structure  of its  portfolio  to  more closely  match  the  maturity
structure of its source of funds.

      Investment securities  classified as  "held to  maturity" are  purchased
with  the intent  and  ability to  hold the  securities  to maturity.    These
securities are carried at cost, adjusted for

<PAGE>
amortization  of premiums and accretion  of discounts.   At December 31, 1993,
the average yield  of total investment securities  held to maturity  was 7.11%
and  the average  maturity  was  three  years  and  two  months.    Investment
securities classified  as "available for sale",  described above,  may be sold
in future  periods.  These securities  are carried at  the lower of  amortized
cost  or market  value.   At December  31, 1993,  the  average yield  of total
investment securities  available for sale was  5.12% and  the average maturity
was three years and one month.  

      Investment decisions  are made after  considering current balance  sheet
structure,   current  economic   and  interest   rate  conditions,   and   the
relationship  of various  types of  securities  in the  marketplace.   On rare
occasions, significant  and unforeseen changes may  occur in  the economic and
interest rate environment which cause changes  to the balance sheet structure,
liquidity and interest rate risk position.  

      Table  13 shows  the  maturity  distribution and  yields  of  investment
securities at  December 31,  1993.   Table 14  shows the  comparative maturity
distribution and average maturity  of investments at year  end 1993 and  1992.
As  shown in Table  14, the average maturity of  total investments at year end
1993  was three years  and one  month compared  to an average  maturity of two
years and eight months  at year end 1992.   Table 15  provides information  on
the  maturity of  certain loans.    This table  excludes installment  and real
estate mortgage loans.

 (b)  The variable interest rate loans generally fluctuate according to a
      formula based on the prime rate.


Interest Rate Sensitivity

      Asset and liability  rate sensitivity management attempts to maintain an
appropriate balance between  the growth of net  interest income and the  risks
associated  with significant changes in market interest  rates.  Interest rate
sensitivity is determined  by the relative amounts  of assets  and liabilities
that are  subject to  repricing within  a  specified time  period.   Liquidity
management attempts to align the  sources and uses of funds  to meet cash flow
requirements  of  customers   and  Valley.     Liquidity  and   interest  rate
sensitivity  must be managed  together since action taken  with respect to one
often impacts the other.

      A historical  tool for measuring  interest rate  sensitivity is  the gap
analysis  presented in Table  16.  The sensitivity presented  in this table is
based upon a gap analysis  which assumes an equal  degree of rate  sensitivity
between  rate  sensitive  assets  and  liabilities.   As  an  example,  in  an
environment of  increasing interest rates,  the increase  in yields  on assets
such as variable  rate commercial loans is assumed to be equal to the increase
in rates paid on liabilities such as money market deposit accounts.

      At December 31, 1993, for maturities of one year or  less, Valley was in
a cumulative net liability-sensitive position of  $689.290 million.   Included
in the  $2.854 billion of  rate sensitive  liabilities are  $1.272 billion  of
savings, N.O.W. and money  market deposits, which  do not reprice in the  same
proportion  as rate-sensitive  assets.   Rate-sensitive  assets  reprice  with
changes to  general market indicators,  such as T-bill  and prime  rates.  The
ratio of rate-sensitive assets  to rate-sensitive liabilities  within the  one
year time  frame was .76, which  shows liabilities at  1993 year end  slightly
more interest rate sensitive than assets.  However,  within the time frame  of
one year, there are  managed gaps which provide  the flexibility to change the
positions should interest rates change significantly.   Valley's net  interest
margin  for the  year  ended 1993  was  4.47%,  compared  to 4.61%  for  1992.
Valley's  hedging activities  are not  material to the  consolidated financial
statements.

Capital Resources

      Shareholders' equity  increased to $365.908 million at December 31, 1993
compared  to $326.776 million  at December  31, 1992  and $269.849  million at
December 31, 1991.  The increase from 1992 in shareholders' equity of  $39.132
million was comprised mainly of $26.889 million in net earnings retained.  

      The  Federal Reserve  Board has  adopted final  capital guidelines. They
relate capital  to level of  risk by assigning  risk weightings  to assets and
off-balance sheet  items.  Capital is measured by two  risk-based ratios: Tier
I capital, and total capital  which includes Tier II capital.   Tier I capital
consists of  shareholders' equity  and minority interests reduced  for certain
intangibles, while Tier II  includes certain long-term  borrowings and reserve
for loan losses up to 1.25% of  gross risk-weighted assets.  The rules require
minimums of 4% and 8%  for Tier I and total  capital, respectively.   Table 17
shows Valley's  consolidated capital structure  and risk-based capital  ratios
at December 31, 1993 and 1992.   Valley's Tier  I ratio of 10.05% at year  end
is  well  above the  regulatory minimum  of 4%.   The  total capital  ratio of
11.27% at December 31, 1993 is also well above the regulatory minimum of 8%.

      As  discussed in  "Noninterest Expense",  the FDIC  implemented  a risk-
based  deposit insurance  fee assessment  program beginning  January 1,  1993.
The FDIC  has created  three risk classifications  for capital.   These  three
classifications are then used as one of  the factors in determining the amount
per $100 of  domestic deposits  each bank will pay  in FDIC deposit  insurance
premiums.   The classification  is based  on a  bank's Tier  I capital,  total
capital and  Tier I leverage  (Tier I capital  as a percent  of total  assets)
ratios.  The classifications and qualifiers for each are:

      Well capitalized:
            Total risk-based capital ratio greater than 10%, and
            Tier I capital ratio greater than 6%, and
            Tier I leverage ratio greater than 5%.

<PAGE>
      Adequately capitalized:
            Failing the well capitalized test, and
            Total risk-based capital ratio greater than 8%, and
            Tier I capital ratio greater than 4%, and
            Tier I leverage ratio greater than 4%

      Undercapitalized:
            Failing both well and adequately capitalized tests

      A depository  institution  falling  within  any  one  of  the  foregoing
capital  categories will  be assessed  one  of  three different  premium rates
established  for  that category,  depending  on  the  composite  rating it  is
assigned  by its primary regulatory  examiner.  Under this  structure, a "well
capitalized"  institution may  be assessed  a premium  rate of  $.23, $.26  or
$.29, depending  on its overall composite rating.  The corresponding rates for
an "adequately capitalized" institution  are $.26, $.29  and $.30, and for  an
"under capitalized" institution the rates are $.29, $.30 and $.31.  

      Valley's FDIC deposit insurance premium rate,  for the first six  months
of  1993, was $.23 per $100 of its total domestic deposits  for all but one of
its  banks.  At this time,  all of Valley's  banks are paying the minimum FDIC
insurance  rate.   Valley intends  to  maintain  capital levels  and otherwise
manage its banks so as to minimize the FDIC deposit insurance expense.  

      During  each of  1993 and  1992,  $5.0 million  of 11.25%  senior  notes
issued in  1985 were  paid at  maturity.   Also in  1993,  Valley prepaid  the
remaining $10 million.

      On  July 1,  1992,  Valley completed  the  acquisition  of  United in  a
merger/conversion transaction.   In conjunction with this acquisition,  Valley
issued  1,002,225 shares  of its  common  stock  at $32.75  ($21.83 post-split
basis) per share,  receiving $29.865 million in net proceeds.  Concurrent with
United's  conversion  to  stock  form,  United  issued  shares  of  its  newly
authorized common  stock to Valley in  exchange for $18.0  million of the  net
proceeds of Valley's  stock issuance.   Net proceeds received  by Valley  from
the  sale of common  stock in  excess of  the $18.0  million were  retained by
Valley and are being used for general corporate purposes.  

      On November 6, 1993, Valley completed  the acquisition of Pierce  County
Bank & Trust Company  (Pierce County).  Pierce County, with December 31,  1993
assets of $112 million, serves western  Wisconsin markets through seven branch
offices.   The  acquisition of  Pierce  County  was funded  primarily  through
internal means.

      Shareholders have benefitted from  Valley's growth.   Valley's policy is
to  increase  dividends  as  earnings  increase,  with  a  targeted  payout of
approximately 35%  to 40%  of net  income.   Table 18  shows the  relationship
between earnings  and dividends  per share for  the last five  years (restated
for the three for two stock  split distributed on August 27,  1993).  In order
to maintain their historical integrity, these  figures have not been  restated
for poolings-

      During 1993, Valley increased  its quarterly dividend from an annualized
$.85 (adjusted) per share in  the fourth quarter of 1992 to an annualized $.94
(adjusted) per  share in  the  fourth  quarter of  1993.   This 1993  dividend
increase marks the  26th consecutive  year that Valley increased  dividends to
shareholders.  Table  19 shows quarterly information  relative to Valley stock
and related shareholders' equity for 1993 and 1992.

 ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Valley Bancorporation:

      We have  audited the accompanying  consolidated statements of  financial
position of Valley  Bancorporation (a Wisconsin corporation) and  subsidiaries
as of December  31, 1993 and 1992 and  the related consolidated statements  of
income, shareholders'  equity and  cash flows  for each  of the  years in  the
three-year  period  ended December  31, 1993.    These consolidated  financial
statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Corporation's  management.   Our
responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audits.

      We conducted  our audits in  accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.   Those standards  require that  we plan  and perform the  audit to
obtain  reasonable  assurance   about  whether   the  consolidated   financial
statements are  free of material misstatement.   An  audit includes examining,
on a  test  basis,  evidence supporting  the amounts  and  disclosures in  the
consolidated financial  statements.    An audit  also includes  assessing  the
accounting principles  used and significant  estimates made  by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial  statement presentation.  We  believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the  consolidated financial statements referred to above
present  fairly, in all  material respects,  the financial  position of Valley
Bancorporation  and subsidiaries as  of December  31, 1993  and 1992,  and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in  the
three-year  period  ended  December  31, 1993,  in  conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

      As  discussed  in  Notes  11  and   12  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements, effective January 1, 1993, the  Corporation changed its methods of
accounting for income taxes and post retirement benefits other than pensions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Consolidation

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Valley
Bancorporation (Valley) and subsidiaries.  All material intercompany
transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.  Certain amounts
in the 1991 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1992 and 1993 presentation.  The accounting and reporting
policies of Valley conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to
general practice within the banking industry.

Investment Securities

      Until the end of the third quarter of 1992, all of Valley's investment
securities were carried at amortized cost.  In December of 1992, Valley
evaluated the conditions under which it might sell any of its investment
securities.  As a result, Valley decided that certain types of investment
securities might be sold in the future as part of Valley's efforts to manage
interest rate risk or in response to changes in interest rates or other
economic factors.  Based upon this decision, Valley has classified these
selected investments as Investment Securities Available for Sale.  While
Valley has no current intention of selling these securities, they may not
beheld to maturity.

      In December of 1993, Valley, in anticipation of adopting SFAS 115 on
January 1, 1994, conducted a review of its investment portfolio.  This review
resulted in reclassifications of Investment Securities Available for Sale and
Investment Securities Held to Maturity.

      Investment Securities Held to Maturity are carried at cost, adjusted
for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.  Investment
Securities Available for Sale are carried at the lower of amortized cost or
market.  Short-term investments acquired as trading securities are carried at
market value.

      Securities, when purchased, are designated as Trading, Investment
Securities Held to Maturity, or Investment Securities Available for Sale and
remain in that category until they are sold or mature.  The specific
identification method is used in determining the cost of securities sold. 
Valley has no mortgage derivatives.

Mortgages Held for Sale

      Mortgage loans held for sale to investors are carried at the lower of
cost or market, in the aggregate, based on outstanding firm commitments
received for such loans or on current market prices.

Reserve for Loan Losses

      The reserve for loan losses is an estimated amount based on an analysis
of the loan portfolios and current economic conditions and, in management's
judgment, represents an amount adequate to provide for potential losses.
Ultimate losses may vary from the current 

<PAGE>
estimates and, as adjustments become necessary, the reserve for loan losses
is adjusted in the periods in which estimates are revised or losses become
known.

Premises and Equipment

      Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation.  Depreciation is computed primarily on a straight-line basis
and is charged to operating expense over the estimated useful life of each
type of asset.  Interest expense is capitalized on major construction
projects using the subsidiaries' cost of funds.  Interest capitalized in 1993
and in 1992 was not material.  Interest capitalized in 1991 was $621,174.
Cash Flows

      For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, and securities
purchased under resale agreements.

Capitalized Conversion Costs

      Capitalized conversion costs associated with Valley's system conversion
project completed in July 1991 are amortized on a straight line basis over
five to ten year periods.  Approximately $2.247 million, $2.368 million, and
$1.469 million were amortized in 1993, 1992, and 1991 respectively.  The
unamortized balances of $11.686 million and $13.933 million in 1993 and 1992
respectively are included in premises and equipment in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Position.

Intangibles

      Intangibles, primarily goodwill and customer deposit base, from
acquisitions accounted for as purchase transactions are amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods of 10 to 25 years.  Valley has applied push-
down accounting for all purchase accounting transactions consummated after
December 31, 1988.

      As of December 31, 1993, Valley had approximately $35.3 million of
intangible assets which have arisen primarily from purchase transactions. 
Amortization of approximately $3.506 million, $3.499 million, and $3.389
million is included in the 1993, 1992 and 1991 results of operations.

      Valley also has approximately $14.0 million of negative goodwill
included in other liabilities as of December 31, 1993, the majority of which
arose from the 1992 acquisition of United Savings and Loan Association
(United) which is being accreted on a straight-line base over a period of 10
years.  Accretion of approximately $1.576 million and $.807 million is
included in the 1993 and 1992 results of operations, respectively.

Interest and Fees on Loans

      Interest on loans is recognized as income based on loan principal
outstanding.  Fees and certain incremental direct costs of originating loans
are deferred and amortized over the contractual term of the loans as an
adjustment to yield.  Unamortized net fees and costs are 

<PAGE>
reported as part of the loan balance outstanding.  There is no accrual of
interest income on loans where collection is doubtful.

Net Income Per Share

      Net income per share was computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding (20,325,524 in 1993, 19,243,509 in 1992, and
18,335,847 in 1991 post-split basis).  A three for two stock split, effected
in the form of a 50% stock dividend, was declared July 20, 1993, payable
August 27, 1993 to shareholders of record August 6, 1993.  The common stock
per share and average share information for years 1992 and prior have been
retroactively restated for the stock split.  The effect of outstanding stock
options on net income per share is not material.

2.    Business Combinations

      In January 1991, Valley acquired Exchange State Bank, La Crosse, a $55
million-asset bank.  In April 1991, Valley completed the stock acquisitions
of the $90 million-asset Western Federal Savings & Loan Association, Sparta
(Western) and the $180 million-asset Great American Savings Bank, F.S.B.,
Milwaukee (Great American).  Valley issued and sold 83,235 (124,853 post-
split basis) and 91,039 (136,559 post-split basis) common shares, respectively,
in connection with its acquisitions of Western and Great American.  An initial
contribution to capital, which included the proceeds from the sale of this
stock, of $4.9 million was made to Western and $8.4 million to Great American.
In 1991, additional contributions were made to capital at Western and Great
American in the amounts of $200,000 and $4.7 million, respectively.

      On July 1, 1992, Valley completed the acquisition of the $320 million-
asset United, headquartered in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.  In this transaction,
United converted from a mutual to a stock institution and concurrently issued
1,000 shares of its stock to Valley, thereby becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Valley.  As part of the transaction, Valley sold to United's
account holders, certain other eligible subscribers and the general public,
1,002,225 (1,503,338 post-split basis) shares of its common stock at a price
of $32.75 ($21.83 post-split basis) per share, receiving $29.865 million in
net proceeds, of which $18.0 million was infused into United, with the
remainder of the proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.  

      On November 6, 1993, Valley completed the acquisition of Pierce County
Bank and Trust Company (Pierce County).  Pierce County, with December 31,
1993 assets of $112 million, serves western Wisconsin markets through seven
branch offices.  

      These transactions were accounted for as purchases, and therefore are
not included in Valley's results of operations or statements of financial
position prior to their dates of acquisition.  The following table shows the
fair value of assets acquired, fair value of liabilities assumed and net
cash paid or received for purchase transactions consummated in 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively:

      Valley and Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (M&I) have entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 19, 1993 (the "Merger
Agreement"), which provides for the combination of the two companies through
a merger of Valley into M&I (the "Merger").  Under the Merger Agreement, each
share of Valley common stock, par value $.50 per share ("Valley Common
Stock"), outstanding at the time the Merger is consummated (other than any
shares owned by M&I for its own account) will be converted into the right to
receive 1.72 (the "Exchange Rate") shares of M&I common stock, par value
$1.00 per share ("M&I Common Stock"), in a tax-free reorganization to be
accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Resulting fractional share
interests will be paid in cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares.  Then
outstanding Valley employee and director stock options will be converted at
the Exchange Rate into options to acquire M&I Common Stock.

      The consummation of the Merger, which is currently expected to occur in
the second quarter of 1994, is subject to various conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement, including approval by the shareholders of both companies
and all requisite regulatory approvals.

      In connection with the Merger Agreement, the parties entered into a
Stock Option Agreement, dated as of September 19, 1993 (the "Stock Option
Agreement"), by which Valley granted M&I an option (the "Option") to purchase
up to 4,045,795 newly issued shares of Valley Common Stock (19.9% of the
number of shares outstanding and subject to adjustment to maintain that
percentage) at an exercise price of $35.75 per share, exercisable upon the
occurrence of certain events and subject to certain conditions set forth in
the Stock Option Agreement.  The Stock Option Agreement also provides M&I the
right to receive a

<PAGE>
termination fee to the extent that the Option has not been exercised after
the occurrence of an event which makes the Option exercisable.

      The following unaudited pro forma data combines the results of
operations for the M&I and Valley, giving effect to the merger as if it had
been consummated at December 31, 1990.

                                        For the Year Ended December 31,

      Certain divestitures by M&I and Valley will be required in order to
obtain regulatory approvals.  M&I has filed applications with such
authorities proposing the divestiture of certain bank branches in the State
of Wisconsin with total deposits of approximately $300 million.  It is
anticipated that federal regulators will require M&I to obtain commitments
for the divestitures prior to consummation of the Merger and complete the
divestitures within six months of the consummation of the Merger.  Valley
does not anticipate that such divestitures will have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.  

      Estimates of employee severance and contract costs, write-downs and
write-offs of duplicative facilities, equipment and data processing software
associated with the Merger will result in an estimated one-time charge of
approximately $80 million ($48 million net of tax) in 1994.  Since the
estimated charge is nonrecurring, it has not been reflected in the pro forma
data set forth above.

3.    Shareholder Rights Plan

      On October 21, 1988, Valley declared a distribution of one preferred
share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of Valley Common
Stock.  As a result of the three for two stock split on August 27, 1993, each
outstanding share of Valley Common Stock now evidences two-thirds of a Right. 
Detailed provisions of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement, dated
as of October 21, 1988, between Valley and The First National Bank of Boston,
and this Note summarizes, in general terms, only certain of the more
significant provisions.

<PAGE>
      The Rights will not become exercisable until after a person or group
acquires or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of
the outstanding Valley Common Stock, or after commencement of a tender or
exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in a person or group
becoming the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the outstanding Valley Common
Stock.  If the Rights become exercisable, initially they will entitle the
holder of each Right to purchase from Valley one one-hundredth (1/100) of a
share of Valley Series A Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Series
A Preferred"), at a price of $60 per one one-hundredth of a share, subject to
adjustment.  If, after the Rights become exercisable, (a) Valley is involved
in any of certain types of transactions with an Acquiring Person or any
person becomes the beneficial owner of more than 25% of the outstanding
Valley Common Stock, one Right will permit each holder other than an
Acquiring Person to receive, upon exercise, Valley Common Stock or, in
certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of Valley, having a
value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right; or (b) Valley or
50% or more of its assets or earning power is acquired in any of certain
types of transactions, provisions shall be made so that each holder other
than an Acquiring Person will receive, upon exercising one Right, common
shares of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the
exercise price of the Right.  In certain events, Valley may exchange shares
of Valley Common Stock or Series A Preferred for outstanding and exercisable
Rights, other than those held by an Acquiring Person, at the ratio of one
share of Valley Common Stock, or one one-hundredth (1/100) of a share of
Series A Preferred, per Right.  The Rights, which expire on October 21, 1998,
are nonvoting and may be redeemed by Valley at $.05 per Right at any time
prior to the occurrence of certain events.  In connection with the Rights
Agreement, the Board of Directors has designated 200,000 shares of Valley's
authorized preferred stock as Series A Preferred, and has reserved such
shares for issuance upon exercise of the Rights.

      The Rights Agreement may be amended by the Valley Board of Directors
with the concurrence of a majority of the Board's independent directors.  As
required by the Merger Agreement, the Rights Agreement has been amended by
Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of September 19, 1993, to provide that (a)
neither M&I nor any affiliate of M&I shall be deemed an Acquiring Person, and
(b) the execution, delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement and the
Stock Option Agreement does not and will not result in a Shares Acquisition
Date or Distribution Date (as such terms are defined in the Rights
Agreement), provided that M&I and its affiliates acquire Valley Common Stock
only in the manner specified.  Under the Merger Agreement, the shares of M&I
Common Stock into which the outstanding shares of Valley Common Stock will be
converted in the Merger will be deemed to have been issued in full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Valley Common Stock,
including the Rights.

4.    Cash and Due From Banks:

      Cash and amounts due from banks totalling $46,274,000 were restricted
at December 31, 1993 to meet the reserve requirements of the Federal Reserve
System.

</TABLE>

      Investment securities with an approximate par value of $150,864,000
were pledged at December 31, 1993, to qualify for fiduciary powers, to secure
public deposits and short-term borrowings and for other purposes required by
law.

      Proceeds from sale of investments in 1993 and 1992 were $11,243,616 and
$40,701,125, respectively.  Gross gains of $654,830 in 1993 and $962,500 in
1992 and gross losses of $157,628 in 1993 and $99,003 in 1992 were realized
on those sales.

      In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," (SFAS 115).  SFAS 115 requires,
among other things, that securities classified as available for sale be
carried at market value; however, market value adjustments and the related
income tax effects are excluded from earnings and reported separately as a
component of shareholders' equity.  This new standard was adopted by Valley
on January 1, 1994.  If this new standard had been adopted by Valley at
December 31, 1993, the result would have increased shareholders' equity by
the net unrealized gain of $4,390,745, after tax.

6.    Loans:

      In the ordinary course of business, loans are made to directors,
officers and other employees of Valley and to companies and persons
affiliated with directors and officers.  These loans are made on
substantially the same terms and conditions as loans to nonaffiliated parties
except for certain employee loans, which are at rates slightly below those
prevailing for comparable transactions.  The aggregate amount of loans to
executive officers and directors of the parent company and its five largest
bank subsidiaries, Madison, Appleton, Green Bay, Milwaukee, and Sheboygan and
their related interests are shown below:

          Balance                                                Balance

=============================================================================

         Valley has pledged approximately $21.1 million of loans to secure
certain short-term borrowings.

7.       Reserve for Loan Losses:

         An analysis of the reserve for loan losses is as follows:

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

     Substantially all of Valley's loans are made to borrowers in Wisconsin.
Valley's largest banks are primarily located in the largest metropolitan
areas of Wisconsin.  While Valley has a significant presence in these
markets, the economic diversity of the markets would not indicate an undue
concentration of risk.  Several of its other banks have a significant market
share in smaller communities in Wisconsin.  As a community lender, Valley
extends all forms of credit to individuals and businesses in the community
and its surroundings.  Those communities are often dependent on a small
number of large employers or on the agricultural economy.  Agricultural loans
at Valley approximated $205 million, or 6.4% of total loans, at December 31,
1993 and $185 million, or 6.1% of total loans at December 31, 1992.  Valley
believes its agricultural portfolio is well collateralized.  

<PAGE>
      Valley also finances real estate development, for properties typically
not occupied by the owners, which is dependent upon the successful sale or
rental of the related properties.  These loans totalled approximately $485
million, or 15.2% of total loans at December 31, 1993 and $238 million, or
7.9% of total loans at December 31, 1992.  The majority of the loans are
located in Valley's market area.  Valley closely monitors these credits.

      As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, nonaccrual loans and real estate
acquired in foreclosures were less than 1.0% of total assets.  The effect of
nonaccrual loans on net income in 1993, 1992 and 1991 was not significant.

      In May 1993, the FASB also issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," (SFAS
114).  SFAS 114 requires that a loan's value be measured when it has been
determined that the loan is impaired and loss is probable.  Write-downs which
result from the measurement process are to be expensed.  This new standard
must be adopted by the first quarter of 1995.  Based upon the current status
of the Corporation's loan portfolio, it is not anticipated that this
pronouncement will have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

8.       Short-Term borrowings:

Short-term borrowings at December 31, consisted of the following:

                                            1993                    1992

============================================================================

      Valley has in place with M&I, a $50 million line and with another
correspondent bank, a $15 million revolving line of credit, at prime.  At
December 31, 1993 and 1992, there were $50 million and no outstanding
borrowings, respectively, on these lines.

      The average rates paid on these funds were 2.81%, 3.41%, and 5.12% for
the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

      The demand notes payable to the U.S. Treasury accrue interest at .25%
below the weekly federal funds rate and are fully collateralized by
subsidiary banks' investment securities.  Securities sold under repurchase
agreements are periodically borrowed on a short-term basis by subsidiary
banks at prevailing rates for these funds.

      The following information relates to securities sold under repurchase
agreements for the year indicated:

incurred or guaranteed by Valley, and (b) impose restrictions on the payment
of cash dividends and the purchase or redemption of Valley stock.  Under the
most restrictive terms of the agreements, at December 31, 1993, Valley would
be permitted to incur additional funded debt and other indebtedness of
$112,265,248.  

      Also, in connection with the Merger Agreement with M&I (see Note 2),
Valley has agreed that it will not, without the prior written consent of M&I,
declare or pay any dividend other than regular quarterly cash dividends on
Valley Common Stock not in excess of $.24 per share.

      Under the terms of the Series A and Series B Notes issued in 1990,
Valley has consolidated retained earnings of $152,144,732 which were
unrestricted as to the payment of dividends and the purchase and redemption
of Valley stock.  Restrictions as to the payment of dividends and purchase
and redemption of stock amount to $7,975,942 under an existing line of credit
with a correspondent bank; however at December 31, 1993 Valley had no
borrowings on this line and that restriction therefore is not presently
operative.

      In 1991, Valley repurchased 100,400 (150,600 post-split basis) shares
of its common stock for $2,688,028.  Valley had obtained the consent of its
lender to exempt the 

<PAGE>
repurchases from its loan covenant which restricted payments of cash and
dividends and the repurchase or redemption of Valley stock.  Valley did not
repurchase additional shares in 1992 or 1993.

      Subsidiary bank dividends, which are the principal source of funds for
dividend payments by Valley, are restricted by statutory and regulatory
limitations.  At December 31, 1993, the aggregate amount of subsidiary banks'
retained earnings available for payment of dividends under regulatory
guidelines was $85,491,416.  In January 1990, Valley adopted an internal bank
dividend policy which restricts a banks' tangible equity from being reduced
below 7% of tangible assets.  Asset growth, profitability, funds availability
and asset quality are factored into this policy.  This internal policy
effectively restricts, to a substantially lesser amount, the amount which
could be distributed by the banks.

10.   Stock Options:

      Under terms of existing option plans, shares of unissued common stock
are reserved for options to outside directors, officers and key employees of
Valley at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares at the
date of grant.  Options expire no later than approximately 10 years from the
date of grant.  The information presented below has been restated for the
three for two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend
declared July 20, 1993, payable August 27, 1993 to shareholders of record
August 6, 1993.

      At December 31, 1993, options outstanding and the extent to which they
are exercisable were as follows:

       ==============================================================

      Common stock reserved for future grants under option plans approved by
the shareholders amounted to 477,017 shares at December 31, 1993.

11.   Income Taxes:

      On January 1, 1993, Valley adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The effect of adoption of
this new standard is not material to the consolidated financial statements. 
This policy calls for reflecting tax assets/liabilities at amounts estimated
to be realizable/payable based on current tax law and Valley's tax status. 
Accordingly, tax expense can be impacted by future changes in rates and
return limitations.

      The income tax provision for each of the years ended December 31, is as
follows:
                                   1993              1992             1991

==============================================================================

      The income tax provision (benefit) applicable to net securities
transactions was $174,021, $293,589, and $246,442 in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.

      Deferred taxes result from timing differences in the recognition of
revenue and expense for tax and financial statement purposes.  The sources of
these differences and the tax effects of each are:

12.   Employee Benefit Plans:

      Substantially all employees are covered by a trusteed defined benefit
retirement plan.  The benefits are based on years of service and the
employee's highest consecutive five-year average salary.  Valley's funding
policy is to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for
federal tax purposes.  Contributions are intended to fund benefits attributed
to service to date, and benefits expected to be earned in the future.
      Plan assets are primarily invested in short to intermediate fixed-rate
securities, equity securities, commingled equity real estate funds and short-
term investment vehicles.

      The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts
recognized in Valley's consolidated financial statements at December 31:

====================================================================

      The majority of employees participate in a Thrift and Sharing Plan. 
Employee contributions to the plan are matched based on the ratio of Valley's
consolidated net income to average shareholders' equity.  The expense of the
plan for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 was approximately
$1.457 million, $4.191 million and $2.827 million, respectively.  At December
31, 1993, the plan held 2,465,632 shares of Valley common stock.

      Valley currently offers post retirement health care benefits to retired
employees over the age of 54 who have rendered at least 10 years of service
to Valley.  These benefits are subject to deductibles, copayment provisions
and other limitations. Only those employees retiring on or before December
31, 1994 will be eligible for such benefits.

      On January 1, 1993, Valley adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 106 "Employers Accounting for Post Retirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions".  This statement requires that the cost of post
retirement benefits expected to be provided to current and future retirees be
accrued over those employees' service periods.  In addition to recognizing
the cost of benefits for the current period, SFAS No. 106 requires
recognition of the cost of benefits earned in prior service periods (the
transition obligation).  Prior to 1993, post retirement benefits were
accounted for on a cash basis.  As of January 1, 1993, Valley's accumulated
post retirement benefit obligation (also its transition obligation) totalled
$2.854 million.  Valley has elected to amortize the transition obligation as
a charge to income over a twenty year period on a straight line basis.

      The following table sets forth the plan's status and amounts recognized
in Valley's consolidated financial statements.

      The following actuarial assumptions were used in the determination
of the accumulated post retirement benefit obligation: 
                                                                  1993

      In 1992 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 112
"Employers' Accounting for Post Employment Benefits."  This statement
requires accrual accounting for the estimated cost of benefits provided to
former employees after employment, but before

retirement.  Valley is required to adopt the new standard no later than 1994.
Valley currently accrues for severance benefits when identified and
therefore, has determined that adoption of the new standard will not have a
material impact. 

13.   Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk:

      Valley utilizes various financial instruments which have off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
its customers.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit, interest rate, or liquidity risk.  The following table shows the
contract or notional amounts of these financial instruments at December 31,
were as follows:

(dollars in thousands)                           1993             1992
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standby and commercial letters of credit    $    69,979        $  69,501
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commitments to extend credit                  1,013,726          866,112
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest rate swaps                             105,000           50,000
=========================================================================

      Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit are
conditional commitments issued by Valley to support the financial obligation
of a customer to a third party.  Those commitments are primarily issued to
support public and private borrowing arrangements including commercial paper
issuances, bond financings, and other similar transactions.  Valley's
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty is
the contractual amount of the standby letter of credit, an exposure similar
to that involved in extending loans.  Since the conditions under which Valley
is required to fund standby letters of credit may not materialize, the
liquidity requirements of standby letters of credit are expected to be less
than the total outstanding commitments.

      Commitments to extend credit are legally binding and generally have
fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.  Valley's exposure to
credit loss on commitments to extend credit, in the event of nonperformance
by the counterparty, is represented by the contractual amount of the
commitments.  Valley monitors its credit risk for commitments as it does for
loans and by obtaining collateral to secure commitments based on management's
credit assessment of the counterparty.  Since many commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent Valley's future liquidity requirements.  In addition,
Valley also offers various consumer credit line products (credit card lines,
overdraft protection, and home equity lines) to its customers, 
some of which are cancelable upon notification.  Such credit lines are
included in the amount disclosed above.

      An interest rate swap is an agreement in which two parties agree to
exchange, at specified intervals, interest payment streams calculated on an
agreed upon notional principal amount with at least one stream based on a
floating rate index.  Periodic payments between counterparties are typically
settled on a net basis over the life of the swap.

16.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

      Fair value disclosures of financial instruments are made to comply with
SFAS No. 107 "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS
107).  In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 107, fair values are based
on estimates using present value and other valuation techniques where quoted
market prices are not available.  These techniques are significantly affected
by the assumptions used, including discount rates and 

<PAGE>
estimates of future cash flows.  As such, the derived fair value estimates
cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, further,may
not be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments.  SFAS
107 also excludes certain items from its disclosure requirements. 
Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent, and
should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of Valley.

      The following methods and assumptions were used by Valley in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

      Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts reported in the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Position for cash and cash equivalents
approximate those assets' fair value.

      Investment 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.

      Interest-bearing deposits with other banks:  Fair values for interest-
bearing deposits with other banks are based on quoted market prices.

      Mortgages held for sale:  Fair values of mortgages held for sale are
based on quoted market prices.

      Loans:  The fair value of loans is estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with
similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, adjusted for
creditworthiness.  The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair
value.

      Deposit liabilities:  The fair values disclosed for demand deposits
are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date.  Fair values of time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash
flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on
similar maturities to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly 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 borrowings:  The fair value of long-term borrowings is
estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or
on the current rates offered for debt of the same remaining maturities.

      Off-balance sheet instruments:  The fair value of guarantees and
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 at the reporting date.  The fair value of
commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into
similar 

<PAGE>
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  The fair value of the
interest rate swap is based on pricing models using current assumptions.

      The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable
approximates fair value.

      The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments
at December 31, 1993 and December 31, 1992 were as follows:

(1)   Certain executive  officers hold offices in  one or more subsidiaries of
      Valley  in  addition  to  their  positions listed  in  the  table.   The
      principal occupation of each officer during the  last five years was his
      present  occupation  stated  above,  except:    Mr.  Platten  was  Chief
      Operating Officer  of Valley  until he  succeeded Mr.  Zuehlke as  Chief
      Executive Officer  in January 1989 and  was Chairman and Chief Executive
      Officer  of Valley Bank, Northeast prior to January 1993.  Messrs. Jones
      and  Mack,  who were  Senior  Vice  Presidents previously,  were elected
      Executive  Vice Presidents  of Valley  in January  1991.   Mr.  Mack was
      President and  Chief Executive Officer of  Valley Bank, Madison prior to
      becoming  Chairman  in  January  1991.    Mr.  Sauter  was  Senior  Vice
      President/Administration  prior  to  January   1991.    Mr.  Gehrke  was
      President and  Chief Executive  Officer of United  Savings prior to  its
      combination with Valley in July 1992.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
      Under the securities laws of the  United States, Valley's directors, its
executive officers,  and any  person holding  more than  10% of  Valley Common
Stock are required  to report their initial  ownership of Valley Common  Stock
and any subsequent  changes in that  ownership to the Securities  and Exchange
Commission  ("SEC").    Specific  due  dates   for  these  reports  have  been
established and Valley is  required to disclose in  this Report any failure to
file such reports by  these dates  during 1993.  Based  solely on a review  of
copies of  such reports furnished to  Valley, or  written representations that
no  reports  were  required,  Valley  believes  that  during  1993  all filing
requirements  applicable  to  its   directors  and  executive   officers  were
satisfied except  that William F.  Gehrke inadvertently  failed to  file on  a
timely basis one report  relating to one  transaction for a nominal number  of
Valley shares.   The filing delinquency  was cured  promptly after Mr.  Gehrke
became aware of it.

(1)   While  each  of  the Named  Executives  received  perquisites  or  other
      personal  benefits   in  the  years  shown,   in  accordance  with   SEC
      regulations, the values of these benefits  are not indicated since  they
      did not exceed,  in the aggregate, the lesser  of $50,000 or 10% of  the
      individual's salary and bonus in any year.   Because no other qualifying
      compensation  was awarded or paid  to or earned by the Named Executives,
      the "Other Annual Compensation" column has been omitted.

(2)   Bonus amounts  for 1993 were earned during the year and  paid at the end
      of the year.   Bonus amounts for 1992  and 1991 were  earned and accrued
      during those years and paid at the beginning of the next calendar year.

(3)   Represents the  product of  the closing  market price  of Valley  Common
      Stock on the date  of grant ($22.166)  and the number of shares  awarded
      to Mr.  Gehrke (22,900)  under the  Valley Management  Recognition Plan.
      The number and  market value at the end  of the last  fiscal year of Mr.
      Gehrke's  restricted common stock  holdings, based  on a fiscal year-end
      closing price  of $39.50  per share,  were 18,321  shares and  $723,680,
      respectively.  These valuations do not  take into account the diminution
      in value  attributable to  the  restrictions applicable  to the  shares.
      The restricted stock vests  at the rate  of 20% of the aggregate  number
      of shares covered by the award at the end of  each full twelve months of
      Mr. Gehrke's  consecutive service with Valley  United after  the date of
      grant.   If Mr.  Gehrke's service  is terminated  for any  reason (other
      than due  to death, disability, retirement  or change  in control) prior
      to the fifth anniversary  of the date  of grant of the restricted  stock
      award, Mr. Gehrke will  forfeit the right to  earn any such shares which
      have not  theretofore vested.   Dividends  on the  restricted stock  are
      accrued at the same rate as on unrestricted shares and paid  at the time
      of vesting.

(4)   Consists entirely of stock options.

(5)   Amounts  shown  for fiscal  1993  consist  of  Thrift  and Sharing  Plan
      contributions   of  $6,116  for   each  individual   and  the  following
      additional  components:  (i)  Non-Qualified  Thrift  and  Sharing   Plan
      accruals--Mr. Platten,  $17,226; Mr.  Jones, $8,361;  Mr. Mack,  $8,236;
      and Mr. Miller, $4,269;  and (ii) life  insurance premiums--Mr. Platten,
      $32,400; Mr. Gehrke, $9,628; Mr. Jones,  $20,531; Mr. Mack, $20,680; and
      Mr. Miller,  $15,216.   The Non-Qualified  Thrift and  Sharing Plan  was
      terminated effective December 31, 1993.

(6)   Effective   July    1,   1992,   Mr.    Gehrke   became   Senior    Vice
      President/Lakeshore  Region  of  Valley  in    connection with  Valley's
      acquisition  of United Savings.   Mr.  Gehrke's fiscal 1992 compensation
      includes  only amounts earned and  accrued or paid  by Valley during the
      period from July 1, 1992 through December 31, 1992.

Employment Agreements
      Each  of the Named  Executives has  an employment  agreement with Valley
containing  termination of employment  and change-in-control  provisions.  The
agreements with Messrs. Platten, Jones, Mack and Miller, entered into on  July
31, 1992, replace previous  employment agreements with  such Named Executives.
Mr.  Gehrke's  employment agreement  was  entered  into  on  July  1, 1992  in
connection with Valley's acquisition of United Savings.  Except as to  Messrs.
Mack and Gehrke, each  agreement provides for the  continued employment of the
executive  in his respective  position for  a term  of three  years commencing
January 1, 1992, with  an automatic extension  for an additional year on  each
January 1 (a rolling three-year  term) unless Valley or  the executive informs
the other  at least 30  days prior to  such anniversary date  that such  party
does not wish to  extend the term.   Mr. Mack's  agreement is for a  five-year
term commencing January 1,  1992 and ending December  31, 1996, with a similar
one-year extension that commences  on January 1, 1995, resulting in a  rolling
three-year term.   Mr. Gehrke's agreement is  for a three-year term commencing
July 1,  1992, and  may be extended as  of any annual anniversary  date during
the term upon the mutual agreement of Valley United, Valley and Mr. Gehrke  by
adding  one additional year  to the  remaining term of  employment, creating a
rolling  three-year term.    Except as  to  Mr.  Gehrke,  as compensation  for
services  to be provided under  the agreements, the executives are entitled to
receive annual cash compensation at  a rate not less than that which they were
receiving  at the  time  the agreements  were entered  into,  or  such greater
amount as may  be approved by the Board of  Directors.  For his services,  Mr.
Gehrke receives an annual base salary in such amount as may from  time to time
be  approved by  the  respective Boards  of  Directors of  Valley  United  and
Valley, provided that  such annual base salary must  at all times  be at least
equal to $301,875.  Mr. Gehrke's  base salary is subject to  annual review and
a cost of living increase each January 1 of not less than 5%.  

      The Named  Executives  are  entitled  to other  benefits  of  employment
generally made  available to  Valley's executive  or key  management personnel
having  similar levels  of  responsibility  and salary  ("Executive Benefits")
except that Mr. Gehrke  is not entitled to  participate in any stock purchase,
stock  option  or  stock appreciation  right  plans or  programs  of any  type
involving shares of Valley  Common Stock or in  any incentive bonus plans made
available to executive officers  of Valley United  or Valley.  Mr. Gehrke  was
awarded 22,900  shares of restricted Valley  stock pursuant  to his employment
agreement under the Valley Management Recognition  Plan.  The restricted stock
vests over a five-year period at the rate of 20% of such shares each year.

      In  addition to the retirement benefits to which  Mr. Gehrke is entitled
under  Valley's  defined  benefit  plan,  Mr.  Gehrke's  employment  agreement
provides  that he  will also  be  entitled to  participate in  Valley's excess
benefit plan.  Mr. Gehrke received credit under both plans for  his past years
of service  to United  Savings.  Upon  Mr. Gehrke's retirement,  Valley United
must  provide  to  Mr.  Gehrke  and   his  surviving  spouse  health  benefits
equivalent to  those provided  under health  insurance programs  maintained by
such institution immediately prior to his  retirement, and Valley United  will
also  continue  to pay  the  premiums  on  a  $250,000  life insurance  policy
insuring Mr.  Gehrke's life.   The  employment agreement  also provides  that,
should Mr. Gehrke pre-decease  his spouse, Valley will  pay a death benefit to
her for  the remainder of  her life.  That  benefit will be  in the  form of a
decreasing lump sum, payable  as an annuity, in an amount sufficient to assure
that,  when aggregated  with the  benefits  she  will otherwise  receive under
Valley's defined benefit plan,  excess benefit plan and Management Recognition
Plan, she  receives total annual benefits through the fifth anniversary of the
employment agreement at least equal to  Mr. Gehrke's base salary at retirement
(assuming normal  retirement at  age 65),  and at  least equal to  one-half of
that amount after such  fifth anniversary.   Valley has no obligation to  fund
or otherwise secure the payment of this death benefit.

      If Messrs. Platten, Jones, Mack or  Miller's employment is terminated by
Valley  (or its  successor) for  any reason  other than  death, disability  or
cause,  the  executive  is  entitled  to  (i) severance  pay,  in  the  amount
(including bonus) and form  of payment for his  services as was  in effect  at
the time of termination,  continuing for the unexpired  portion of the term of
the agreement ("Employment Term");  (ii) continued Executive  Benefits for the
unexpired  portion of the  Employment Term;  and (iii)  retirement benefits in
the amount to which  the executive would  have been entitled had he  continued
in  the employ  of  Valley  for the  entire Employment  Term, or  until normal
retirement age if his  termination occurred after he  reached age 55.  Subject
to non-competition  restrictions, the  terminated  executive has  the duty  to
take reasonable steps to  obtain employment elsewhere  (unless the termination
occurs  in  connection  with  a  change-in-control),  whereby  the  amount  of
compensation

payable  by Valley  will be  partially  reduced by  any earnings  from another
employer for  whom the executive works during the remainder  of the Employment
Term.    Messrs.  Platten,  Jones,  Mack  and  Miller's employment  agreements
provide for an increase  in the amounts  payable to offset fully on  an after-
tax basis the  amount of any excise tax which may be levied  upon an executive
in the event  portions of any payments under the agreements constitute "excess
golden parachute payments"  as defined in the  Internal Revenue Code  of 1986,
as amended (the "Code").  

      If Mr. Gehrke's employment is terminated by Valley  United or Valley for
any  reason other than  death, disability, retirement or  cause, Mr. Gehrke is
entitled to receive severance  pay in the form  of payments continuing for the
then remaining unexpired portion of the  term of employment (including  annual
cost of living  increases of not less  than five percent).   Mr.  Gehrke could
elect  to receive such  severance pay  in one  lump sum.   The amount  of such
severance payments to Mr.  Gehrke may not be less than two years compensation.
In  addition,  retirement benefits  which  Mr.  Gehrke  would  be entitled  to
receive under the tax qualified retirement  plans maintained by Valley  United
and Valley in  which he is eligible to  participate would be determined as  if
he  were fully  vested  and  had accumulated  the additional  years  of credit
service that  he  would have  received had  his  employment  continued to  the
expiration of  the then-remaining Employment Term  at the  highest annual rate
of  base salary in effect  during the twelve  months immediately preceding the
termination.   Mr.  Gehrke's  employment  agreement provides  that,  under  no
circumstances may  the aggregate  amount of  all such  severance payments  and
termination benefits,  computed on  a present  value basis,  exceed an  amount
which would cause any  portion of the payments  to be characterized as "excess
golden parachute payments" as defined in the Code.

      In the event of a change-in-control  of Valley, Messrs. Platten,  Jones,
Mack and Miller may  terminate their employment  with Valley upon at least  90
days' notice  at any  time within  12 months  following the change-in-control.
If  the  executive so  terminates  his employment,  or  if his  employment  is
terminated  by Valley  (or its  successor)  in  contemplation of  a change-in-
control or  within 12 months following  a change-in-control,  the executive is
entitled, for  a  period  of  three years,  to  the  same severance  pay  (via
installments  or a lump  sum payment)  and Executive  Benefits described above
for a termination by  Valley of his employment  agreement for any reason other
than death, disability  or cause. In addition,  the executive will be entitled
to  receive, commencing  the later  of (i)  three  years after  the change-in-
control,  or (ii) the  date at which  the executive reaches  the age  of 50, a
supplemental  pension benefit  equal  to  the total  pension amount  otherwise
payable to the executive  calculated as if  the executive were age 65  and had
continued in the employ  of Valley until that  age.  This supplemental pension
benefit will  be paid  in the form of  a monthly pension for  the remainder of
the executive's lifetime, but will be  reduced accordingly when the  executive
begins to receive his regular pension benefits from Valley.

      Mr. Gehrke may terminate his employment for "good reason" upon at  least
90 days' notice at  any time within 18 months following a change-in-control of
Valley  United or  Valley  or  at any  time "for  cause."   If  Mr. Gehrke  so
terminates his employment, he  is entitled to the same severance payments  and
benefits  described  above  for   termination  by  Valley  of  his  employment
agreement for  reason  other  than  death, disability,  retirement  or  cause.
"Good reason" is defined  to include a good  faith determination by Mr. Gehrke
that  the  nature  of  his  position  and  the  nature  and  quantity  of  his
responsibilities, duties and work load are  not consistent with his reasonable
expectations based  on representations and covenants made by the acquiror or a
good  faith  determination by  Mr.  Gehrke  that  the  overall objectives  and
benefits  anticipated to Valley  United as  a result  of the change-in-control
transaction have not been,  and are not  soon likely  to be, realized.   Among
other things,  "for  cause"  is  defined  to  include the  occurrence  of  the
following events  without  Mr. Gehrke's  express  written  consent:   (i)  his
assignment   to  any   positions,   duties  or   responsibilities   that   are
substantially less significant than those held  by him prior to any change-in-
control;  (ii) he is  removed from,  or is not re-appointed  or re-elected to,
his position  with  Valley  United or  Valley other  than  in connection  with
termination  of  his  employment  by  Valley   United  or  Valley  for  cause,
disability or  retirement, or,  following a  change-in-control, Mr.  Gehrke is
not appointed  or elected  to comparable  positions with  the survivor or  the
survivor does not agree to  be bound by the terms  of the employment agreement
or  both; or  (iii) Mr.  Gehrke's base  salary is  reduced or he  is otherwise
denied benefits provided to him under the employment agreement.

<PAGE>
      In  July 1992, Valley and  Valley United also  entered into a consulting
and non-competition  agreement with Mr. Gehrke,  pursuant to  which Mr. Gehrke
agreed  to  provide  consulting services  to Valley  and  Valley United  for a
period of five years  following his retirement.  Mr. Gehrke has further agreed
not  to  manage, operate,  control,  be  employed by,  participate  in  or  be
connected in any manner with the  operation, ownership, management or  control
of any  financial institution  which is  a significant  competitor of  Valley,
Valley United  or any  of Valley's  other affiliates,  at any time  during the
five-year term  of the consulting and  non-competition agreement.   Under this
agreement, Mr. Gehrke must make himself available to  Valley United and Valley
to  consult and  otherwise assist  on matters and  issues pertaining  to their
savings and  loan business generally on  an as-needed  and as-requested basis.
Mr.  Gehrke may  not  be  required to  provide  more  than 65  hours  of  such
consulting services during any  calendar month or more  than 660 hours of such
consulting  services during any  calendar year.   In  consideration for making
himself available to provide and for providing such services, Mr. Gehrke  will
receive  a  monthly  consulting  fee  in  the  amount  of $2,325.    Also,  in
consideration for his  covenant not to compete  with Valley and  Valley United
during the  five-year consulting  period, Mr.  Gehrke will  receive additional
compensation in the amount  of $1,000 per  month throughout this period.   The
consulting and non-competition  agreement will terminate immediately upon  the
death  of  Mr. Gehrke,  or upon  termination  of his  employment agreement by
Valley or Valley United for  cause, and may be terminated by Valley and Valley
United  upon a breach  by Mr. Gehrke of his covenant  not to compete or of his
non-disclosure  obligations  thereunder,   in  either  case  without   further
obligation on the part of Valley or Valley United.

      In connection  with the Merger, M&I  has entered  into letter agreements
with Messrs. Platten and Miller in which  it has agreed that,  notwithstanding
the contemplated  continued employment  of such  individuals by  M&I, each  of
such executives  may at  his  election be  treated as  if a  change-in-control
termination occurred  as a  result of  the Merger  under  his existing  Valley
employment  agreement  and the  date  of such  election  shall be  deemed  the
termination  date for purposes of  such employment agreement.   Mr. Miller has
agreed  with M&I, subject to  certain conditions, that he  shall be considered
to  have made such an election on the date of the Merger.  Mr. Platten, Valley
and  M&I have agreed  that Mr.  Platten's election is considered  to have been
made, subject to certain conditions, as of the date immediately preceding  the
Merger.  Messrs.  Jones and Mack  have entered into similar  letter agreements
with  M&I providing  that  on  the date  of the  Merger, their  termination of
employment will  be treated  as  a change-in-control  termination under  their
respective Valley  employment agreements.   The  approximate aggregate  amount
payable  to the four executives who have entered  into letter agreements under
their existing  Valley employment  agreements, discounted  (where appropriate)
at a  6% interest rate,  compounded annually,  and under the  Valley Executive
Life  Insurance Plan,  discussed below,  are  approximately  as follows:   Mr.
Platten  -- $3.3 million; Mr. Jones -- $2.3 million;  Mr. Mack -- $1.5 million
and Mr. Miller -- $1.9 million.  The  above amounts do not reflect  the gross-
up  for the golden  parachute excise  tax, which depends on  factors which are
not  quantifiable at this  time.   For a discussion of  certain employment and
change-in-control  agreements to be  entered into  by certain Named Executives
and   M&I   upon   consummation   of   the   Merger,   see  "Certain   Related
Transactions--Employment   Agreements  and   Related  Matters--New  Employment
Agreements and  Related Matters" in M&I's  and Valley's  Joint Proxy Statement
dated December 30, 1993.

      Under the  Valley  Executive Life  Insurance  Plan,  each of  the  Named
Executives  (except  Mr.  Gehrke)  is  entitled  to  receive  a  paid-up  life
insurance  policy providing life  insurance coverage  for the executive's life
time equal to  2.5 times base compensation  pre-retirement and one times  base
compensation  post-retirement  assuming  retirement  at  age  65  with  salary
increases  at 6% to  age 65.  The premium to  purchase the policy must be paid
no later than 60  days after the  Merger.  Furthermore, if the payment  of the
premium would  result in taxable  income to the executive,  the executive will
receive a  payment to  offset fully,  on an  after-tax basis, any  federal and
state income  taxes owing  in connection with  the premium payment.   It is  a
condition to the Merger  that Messrs. Platten, Jones, Mack and Miller agree to
limit  the life insurance  coverage provided  under the  Valley Executive Life
Insurance Plan  to one  times base  compensation for  1993 for  both pre-  and
post-retirement.  Each of  these executives has entered into an agreement with
Valley and M&I which amends  the obligation of Valley to  pay the executive an
amount equal  to the  additional premium  required to  provide life  insurance
coverage  for the executive's  lifetime in  an amount equal to  one times 1993
base compensation, plus a  specific amount to offset for any federal and state
income taxes  arising by reason of such payment.  The  value of the additional
premium to purchase such a policy and the  federal and state income tax gross-
up,  assuming  the  existing cash  surrender  value  of  the  policy  and  the
additional premium will  be taxable  income to the  executive, is included  in
the

<PAGE>
amounts stated above for payments to  the executives upon a  change-in-control
under the terms of their respective employment agreements.

Pension Plan Table

       The  following table sets  forth the  estimated annual benefits payable
upon  normal retirement at  age 65 for  the specified  amounts of remuneration
and years of service indicated under Valley's defined benefit plan.

</TABLE>

      Remuneration covered by the  defined benefit plan  includes the  amounts
shown in the "Salary" and "Bonus" columns  of the Summary Compensation  Table,
except that bonuses are recognized for plan remuneration purposes  in the year
paid instead of  the year accrued.  The years of service credited  for each of
the  Named Executives are:   Mr. Platten, 13;  Mr. Gehrke,  39; Mr. Jones, 22;
Mr. Mack, 6; and Mr. Miller, 16.

      Benefits under the  plan are payable as a  straight life annuity.   Such
benefits are not subject to any deduction for  social security or other offset
amounts.

      The maximum annual  benefit currently allowable  under the  Code from  a
tax-qualified defined benefit  plan on a life  annuity basis to  an individual
age 65 is $118,800.   To the extent that the  benefits of an  individual under
the plan are reduced because of  the Code limitation, the reduction is made up
to the  individual under  a non-qualified  and unfunded  excess benefit  plan.
The qualified plan  is not permitted to recognize  compensation for a year  in
excess of the compensation  limit determined by law  ($150,000 in 1994).   The
excess plan also will make  up any reduction caused by the application of  the
compensation ceiling.   A participant's historic compensation for purposes  of
calculating the  benefits available under the excess plan  may include certain
deferred compensation and  awards of Valley Common Stock made to a participant
during the relevant  years pursuant to  Valley's Management  Recognition Plan.
The benefits included in the table above represent  the amounts that would  be
provided  through the combination of  the defined benefit plan  and the excess
benefit plan.

      Pursuant  to the Merger Agreement,  at the effective  time of the Merger
participation in Valley's defined benefit plan  and excess benefit plan  shall
be  frozen and accruals  for purposes  of determining  benefit and eligibility
service  under the plans  shall cease.   Service with M&I  after the effective
time of  the Merger  shall be credited,  however, for purposes  of determining
vesting service under the plans.

Director Fees and Arrangements

      Directors who are not full-time employees  of Valley or its subsidiaries
were paid an annual  retainer at the rate of $6,000 and received $750 for each
meeting of  the Board  and its  committees attended in  1993.   Such fees  are
unchanged for  1994.  Directors  may elect  to defer such amounts  in full but
not in part.  Interest is

<PAGE>
credited on deferred amounts  under a formula based upon current rates paid by
Valley on six  month certificates  of deposit.   Directors  who are  full-time
employees  of Valley or a  subsidiary do not receive  separate remuneration in
connection with their service on the Board or Board committees.

      In connection with Mr. Zuehlke's  retirement as Chief  Executive Officer
of Valley in January  1989, Valley entered  into an oral arrangement with  Mr.
Zuehlke whereby,  for his  continuing services  as an  officer  of Valley,  he
would be paid an  annual sum of $50,000.   Pursuant to  this arrangement,  Mr.
Zuehlke received $50,000 for his services as Chairman in fiscal 1993.

Outside Directors' Stock Option Plan

      The Valley 1992  Outside Directors'  Stock Option Plan (the  "Directors'
Plan") was adopted by shareholders on April 21,  1992 to provide an  incentive
for directors of Valley who are not  active full-time employees of Valley or a
subsidiary ("Outside Directors")  to improve corporate performance on a  long-
term basis.   The Directors'  Plan has 180,000  shares of  Valley Common Stock
reserved for  issuance,  provides  for  the granting  of  non-qualified  stock
options and expires on December 31, 1995.

      The  Directors' Plan  is administered  by the Compensation  Committee of
the Board of  Directors, but the Committee has no discretion as to the amount,
price  or timing of any option to be granted, which are  fixed by the terms of
the Directors' Plan.  Each  year during the term of the Directors' Plan,  upon
the first meeting of Valley's Board of Directors following the annual  meeting
of shareholders,  each person  then serving Valley  as an Outside  Director is
automatically granted  an option to purchase  the number  of shares designated
by the Directors' Plan.  The exercise  price at which shares may  be purchased
under  each option is 100% of the fair market value  of Valley Common Stock on
the date  the option  is granted.   On April  27, 1993, the  Outside Directors
were  each granted an  option for 3,000  shares of  Valley Common  Stock at an
exercise price of $26.46 per share.

      The  Directors'  Plan provides  that  options  granted  thereunder  will
become exercisable six  months from the date of grant.  All rights to exercise
an option will terminate upon the earlier of ten years  from the date of grant
or two years from the date the grantee ceases to be a director of Valley.

      At February 25, 1994, options for  4,500 shares had been exercised under
the Directors' Plan, options  for a total of  109,500 shares were  outstanding
and 66,000 shares were available for future grants under the Directors'  Plan.
However, under the Merger  Agreement with M&I, Valley  has agreed not to grant
any  additional stock options  under the  Directors' Plan,  or otherwise, from
the September 19, 1993 date of the Merger Agreement  to the effective time  of
the Merger.

      Pursuant  to the  terms of  the Merger  Agreement, M&I  will assume  the
Directors' Plan  and Valley's obligations thereunder.   At  the effective time
of the Merger, each  outstanding option issued pursuant to the Directors' Plan
shall be  deemed to constitute  an option to  acquire, on the  same terms  and
conditions  as were applicable  under such  option, a number of  shares of M&I
Common  Stock equal  to the product  of the  Exchange Rate  and the  number of
shares subject  to such  option, at a price  per share equal to  the aggregate
exercise price for the shares subject to such option divided  by the number of
shares of M&I Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

      Mr.  Zuehlke, who serves  as a  member of the  Compensation Committee of
Valley's  Board of Directors  with   Messrs. Boldt, Meyer and  Reigle, was the
Chief Executive  Officer of  Valley prior  to January  1989  and continues  to
serve as the  Chairman of Valley  and one  of its  subsidiaries, Valley  Bank,
Appleton.

      Valley leases  its principal executive office  space from a  partnership
with which  Oscar C.  Boldt is  affiliated.    The  current lease  relates  to
approximately 20,000 square  feet of office  space in Appleton  and calls  for
minimum  rent  payments  totalling  approximately  $849,160,  plus   operating
expense  increases, over the remaining three-year term  ending April 30, 1997.
Rent  paid  in  1993   totalled  $282,000.    Valley   has  three  leases  for

<PAGE>
approximately 17,000  square feet  of office  space  with an  entity of  which
Valley and a corporation affiliated with Mr. Boldt  are shareholders.  Messrs.
Platten, Boldt and two  other persons associated with Mr. Boldt, who are  also
directors of  Valley Bank,  Appleton, are  currently serving  as directors  of
such entity.   The total amount  of rent  paid under the three  leases in 1993
was approximately  $109,000,  plus operating  expenses.    In the  opinion  of
management, the terms  of such  leases and  transactions are  as favorable  to
Valley as those obtainable from other unrelated firms.

      Since   January 1,  1993,   three  members   of   Valley's  Compensation
Committee, or their associates  or firms for  which they serve as officers  or
directors, have been indebted to subsidiary banks of Valley for loans made  in
the ordinary course of  business.  Such loans  were made on  substantially the
same terms,  including interest rates and  collateral, as  those prevailing at
the  time for  comparable transactions  with others and  did not  involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

ITEM 12.    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

      Rule 13d-3 under the  Exchange Act provides that a beneficial owner of a
security includes  any person who directly  or indirectly has or shares voting
or investment  power  over  such  security.   A  beneficial owner  under  this
definition  need not  enjoy  the  economic  benefit  of  such security.    The
following table  sets forth information as  of February 25,  1994 with respect
to any person known to  Valley to be the beneficial owner  of more than  5% of
the outstanding shares of Valley Common Stock.

                                       Number of Shares and 
                                       Nature of Beneficial            Percent

       770 North Water Street 
       Milwaukee, WI 53202   

_______________

(1)   The specified  person has sole  voting and  dispositive power as  to the
      shares indicated.
(2)   Of such shares, 4,045,795 are shares which M&I  would have the right  to
      acquire  under the Stock  Option Agreement  entered into  by Valley with
      M&I in connection with the Merger  Agreement.  M&I disclaims  beneficial
      ownership of the shares  subject to the Option until the events allowing
      exercise of  the Option  occur.   See Item  1 "Business--Pending  Merger
      With  Marshall &  Ilsley  Corporation."    The  Stock  Option  Agreement
      provides  that the  number of  shares  subject to  the Option  shall  be
      adjusted to  reflect the  issuance of  any additional  shares of  Valley
      Common Stock after  the date of the Stock  Option Agreement so that  the
      Option  equals   19.9%  of  the  number   of  shares   then  issued  and
      outstanding.

      At  February 25,  1994,   Valley  Trust  Company  ("Valley  Trust"),   a
subsidiary of  Valley, acted in a fiduciary capacity with respect to 3,473,369
shares of  Valley Common Stock.   Of such shares, 2,483,747  were held in  its
capacity as trustee of Valley's Thrift and Sharing  Plan, 18,321 were held  in
its capacity  as trustee of Valley's  Management Recognition  Plan and 971,301
were held  in its capacity as  trustee, co-trustee or  custodian of 231  other
trusts and custodial accounts.  Because shares of  Valley Common Stock held in
the Plans are  allocated to the individual accounts of participants, and since
Valley Trust  is instructed  by such  participants as  to the  voting of  such
shares and is  limited as to  the disposition  of Valley  Common Stock by  the
terms of  the Plans,  Valley Trust  disclaims beneficial  ownership of  Valley
Common Stock held by the Plans.  With  respect to Valley Common Stock  held in
the other  trusts and custodial accounts  administered by  Valley Trust, since
Valley Trust does not  vote any such shares without written direction from the
beneficiary,  and  because Valley  Trust's  policy  is  to  acquire, hold  and
dispose  of  Valley  Common Stock  only  upon  the  direction  of  the account
beneficiary,  Valley Trust  disclaims beneficial ownership of  the majority of
Valley  shares  held by  such  trusts and  custodial  accounts.   The  mailing
address  of  Valley  Trust  Company  is  Valley Bank  Plaza,  P.O.  Box  1056,
Appleton, Wisconsin 54911.

      For  information  with  respect to  the beneficial  ownership  of Valley
Common Stock by  its directors, see "Item 10.   Directors and  Officers of the
Registrant--Directors"  which  is  incorporated  herein  by  reference.    The
following table sets forth certain information  at February 25, 1994 regarding
the beneficial ownership of  Valley Common Stock by Mr. Miller, the only Named
Executive who is not also a director of Valley.

                                    Number of Shares and 
               Name of              Nature of Beneficial               Percent
          Executive Officer             Ownership(1)                  of Class
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Mark L. Miller               71,841(2)(3)                    .345%

_______________

(1)   As reported to Valley  by the executive  officer as of the date  stated.
      The beneficial ownership information is not necessarily to be  construed
      as an admission of beneficial ownership for other purposes.
(2)   Includes  63,000  shares which  Mr.  Miller  has  the  right to  acquire
      pursuant to stock options  exercisable at or within 60 days of the  date
      stated.
(3)   Includes  8,382 shares, as  of December 31,  1993, for  which Mr. Miller
      has an indirect beneficial interest as  a participant in Valley's Thrift
      and  Sharing  Plan.    Such  interests  have  subsequently  increased by
      amounts which are not material.


ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      Customers  of  Valley's  subsidiary  banks  include  the  directors  and
officers  of Valley  and its  subsidiaries,  as well  as their  associates and
firms for which they  serve as officers or  directors.  Since January 1, 1993,
certain of such persons  and firms have been indebted to the subsidiary  banks
for  loans made in the ordinary  course of business.   Such loans were made on
substantially  the same  terms, including  interest rates  and  collateral, as
those prevailing at the  time for comparable transactions  with others and did
not involve  more than  the normal  risk  of collectibility  or present  other
unfavorable features.

      See    "Item   11.  Executive    Compensation--Compensation    Committee
Interlocks and Insider  Participation," incorporated by reference herein,  for
information concerning certain other relationships and transactions. 

      Valley has  a $50  million line  of credit  with M&I  Marshall &  Ilsley
Bank, a  subsidiary of M&I.   In  connection with such line  of credit, Valley
has made  a promissory note, payable on demand, to M&I  Marshall & Ilsley Bank
in the  amount of up to  $50 million at  the prime rate of  interest.  In  the
opinion of  management, the terms of such  line of credit  are as favorable to
Valley  as  those obtainable  from  other  unrelated  financial  institutions.
Valley,  M&I and their  subsidiaries have  certain other  relationships in the
ordinary course of their businesses.

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS
                              MARCH 31, 1994






                              (In thousands)

The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets for M&I and its
consolidated subsidiaries and Valley and its consolidated subsidiaries as of
March 31, 1994 assumes the Merger had been consummated on March 31, 1994 and
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. No adjustment for divestitures which
are required in connection with the Merger have been included in the  unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets.

The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets should be read in conjunction
with and is qualified in its entirety by the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes of M&I and Valley in their respective Annual Reports  on
Form 10-K.

The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets are intended for informational
purposes and are not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or
of the financial position that would have actually occurred had the Merger been
in effect as of the date presented.


   (1)    The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets reflect the issuance
          of 1.72 common shares of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation's (M&I) common
          stock for each outstanding common share of Valley Bancorporation
          (Valley).

   (2)    Pro forma shareholders' equity includes the effect of the estimated
          one-time merger related and restructuring charge of approximately $80
          million, $48 million net of tax effect.

   (3)    Pro forma shareholders' equity includes the estimated effect of
          conforming Valley's transition methodology in adopting Financial
          Accounting Standard No. 106, "Employers Accounting for Postretirement
          Benefits Other Than Pensions"(FAS 106) with that elected by M&I. M&I
          elected immediate recognition of the accumulated postretirement
          benefit obligation at January 1, 1992, through a one-time charge to
          earnings. During the first quarter of 1993 Valley adopted FAS 106 on
          a  prospective basis and elected to amortize the unfunded accumulated
          postretirement obligation over twenty years.

   (4)    For purposes of the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheets,
          significant transactions and balances between M&I and Valley have
          been eliminated.

   (5)    Certain balances in Valley's consolidated balance sheet have been
          reclassified to conform with M&I's presentation.

             NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED INCOME STATEMENTS
               FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND 1993
                  AND THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
                                  (In thousands)

  The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements for M&I and its
  consolidated subsidiaries and Valley and its consolidated subsidiaries for
  the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 and for the year ended
  December 31, 1993, give effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated
  on January 1, 1993 and accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. No adjustment
  for divestitures which are required in connection with the Merger have been
  included in the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements.

  The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements should be read in
  conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by the consolidated
  financial statements and accompanying notes of M&I and Valley in their
  respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

  The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements are intended for
  informational purposes and are not necessarily indicative of the future
  results of operations of the combined company or the results of operstions
  of the combined company that would have actually occurred had the Merger
  been in effect for the periods presented.


  (1) The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements reflect the issuance
      of 1.72 common shares of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation's (M&I) common
      stock for each outstanding common share of Valley Bancorporation
      (Valley).

  (2) For purposes of the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements,
      significant transactions and balances between M&I and Valley have been
      eliminated.

  (3) As permitted by accounting standards,  Valley's historical average
      shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share did
      not include the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding as such
      effect was not material.  The computation of pro forma primary and
      fully dilutive earnings per share includes the effects of Valley's
      stock options outstanding.

  (4) Certain balances in Valley's consolidated income statement have been
      reclassified to conform with M&I's presentation.

  (5) The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Income Statements do not include the
      effect of the estimated one-time merger related and restructuring
      charges of approximately $80 million, $48 million net of tax effect,
      since the estimated charge is non-recurring.

      Potential loan loss provisions may be recorded at or near the
      consummation of the Merger.  While the amounts have not been quantified,
      an additional provision may be necessary to conform Valley's loan
      valuation policies with those of M&I.  M&I does not anticipate that the
      amount of such provision will be material to the combined entity.
