                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been reflected in the financial statements.
However, the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31,
1999 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
foot- notes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998.

NOTE D - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company and its subsidiaries are primarily organized to operate in the
banking industry. Substantially all revenues are derived from banking products
and services in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and in northeastern Wisconsin.
While the Company's chief decision makers monitor various products and services,
operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a firmwide
basis. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by
management to be aggregated in a single operating segment - commercial banking.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial condition and earnings
during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

Deposits decreased primarily due to expanded use of PrimeVest Financial Services
and cash management accounts. These fee-based services facilitate deposit
transfers to money market and mutual funds. As a result, total deposit levels at
March 31, 1999 showed a decrease from the end of 1998.

The loan portfolio, including mortgage loans held for sale, decreased by 2.6%
during the first quarter of 1999. Commercial loans increased 2.6% while, real
estate mortgages and installment loans decreased by 9%, and 4.2%, respectively.


In addition to the above trends in the sources and uses of funds, the Company
services loans for outside agencies, primarily Freddie Mac. At March 31, 1999
the volume of Freddie Mac loans sold with servicing being retained was $352
million. The comparable figure one year earlier was $252 million. The ability of
the Company to sell these loans enables it to more effectively manage its
funding operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first quarter of 1999 there were no significant changes with respect
to the capital resources of the Company. Management feels that the liquidity
position of the Company as of March 31, 1999 is more than adequate to meet its
future cash flow needs. Management also closely monitors capital levels to
provide for normal business needs and to comply with regulatory requirements. As
summarized below, the Company's capital ratios were well in excess of the
regulatory requirements for classification as "Well Capitalized":

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased $245,000 or 2.5% compared to the same period last
year. While interest income and interest expense both decreased, interest income
decreased more resulting in a lower net interest income. Interest income dropped
due to lower interest rates and changes in asset mix. Interest expense decreased
primarily due to lower interest rates.

Provision for Loan Losses
The loan loss provision decreased significantly during the first three months of
1999 due to lower net loan charge-offs and a smaller loan portfolio. This lower
loan loss provision still allowed for an increase to the allowance for loan
losses of $108,000 or 1.1% during the quarter. Net loan charge-offs for the
quarter amounted to $73,000, down from the amount of $279,000 in 1998. On an
annualized basis these charge-offs amounted to .05% of average loans
outstanding, down from the .18% for the comparable period in 1998.

Expressed as a percent of outstanding loans the allowance increased to 1.59%
compared to 1.58% at the same time last year. The allowance level is subject to
change during future periods as the amounts provided during any given period are
dependent upon management's ongoing review process and assessment of the
perceived loss exposure in the then outstanding loan portfolio.

Nonperforming loans decreased in the first quarter of 1999 by $1,123,000 or
20.8%. Total nonperforming assets, which include other real estate, decreased by
$566,000 or 8.1% from December 31, 1998.

The table below presents a comparison of nonperformings.

On a percentage basis, the allowance for loan losses increased from 175.4% of
nonperforming loans at the end of 1998 to 224.1% at March 31, 1999. Management
intends to continue in its efforts toward maintaining a high quality loan
portfolio.


                                       12

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased by $591,000 or 18.2% in the first three months of
1999. Exclusive of security transactions, it increased by $551,000 or 16.7% for
the same period. A large part of the increase in other income is due to an
increase of $366,000 in net gains from the sale of loans over the first three
months of 1998. Fee-based income rose $262,000 compared to the same period last
year due to increases in trust fees and fees collected for brokerage services.

Noninterest Expenses
The increase in noninterest expenses resulted from changes in its major
components as set forth below, indicative of the normal effects of inflation as
well as the growth of the organization. The major components of other expenses
increased (decreased) as follows:

                                            Three months
                                               ended
                                            March 31 1999
                                            -------------
    Salaries and employee benefits               4.6%
    Occupancy, furniture and equipment           4.1
    Data processing                             83.7
    Advertising                                 (3.0)
    Other                                       (9.3)

The increase in data processing expense is primarily due to year 2000
hardware/software remediation.

Applicable Income Tax
Applicable income tax expense is based on income, less that portion which is
exempt from federal taxation, taxed at the statutory federal income tax rate of
35%. The provision is further reduced by other smaller items. The increase in
the 1999 income tax provision reported herein for the first quarter was mostly
due to the increase in pre-tax income of the Company for the first quarter of
1999, combined with a decrease in the portion of interest income which is exempt
from federal taxation.

Year 2000 Compliance

A significant issue has emerged in the banking industry and the economy overall
regarding how existing application software programs and operating systems can
accommodate the date value for the Year 2000. Programs and operating systems
using a two digit date rather than a four digit date may calculate incorrectly
or cease to operate after December 31, 1999. Initially this potential problem
was believed to be limited to software programs and data applications
(collectively referred to as "Information Technology" or "IT" systems) using
date-related fields during processing. The scope of concern has since been
expanded to include "non-IT" systems such as electronically controlled elevators
and security systems.

Since 1997, the Company has been engaged in a program to ensure that all
computer systems will continue to make accurate date-related computations on and
after January 1, 2000. Early in 1997, management appointed a team of individuals
that would develop and administer a plan to address the Company's Year 2000
risks. The plan was to address both "IT" and "non-IT" systems using the
following steps: (1) Inventory: identify all items to be included in the Year
2000 program; (2) Assessment: prioritize the inventory for review and determine
the scope of remediation and testing effort required; (3) Conversion: make all
the necessary changes to become Year 2000 compliant; (4) Testing: verify through
structured testing that all inventory is in fact Year 2000 compliant; (5)
Implementation: position the inventory items back into production after testing
is complete; and (6) Contingency Planning: design a contingency plan for all
systems in the event of other unforeseen circumstances.

The Year 2000 program implemented by the Company follows closely the process
suggested by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC").
The "FFIEC" is an interagency organization made up of regulatory agencies that
monitor the safety and soundness of banks and savings associations. The "FFIEC"




                                       14
<PAGE>

is responsible for supervising the efforts of financial institutions preparing
for the Year 2000. The regulatory agencies are conducting special examinations
of insured banks, including those subsidiaries of the Company, and savings
associations to verify efforts toward attaining Year 2000 readiness.

Three "IT" systems have been recognized by the Company as being "mission
critical" to its continuing operation. These systems received the highest
priority level for remediation and testing. The first such system is the data
processing service provided by Alltel Information Services, Inc. Alltel provides
deposit and loan data processing services to the bank subsidiaries of the
Company. Alltel is one of the nation's major providers of such services to
financial institutions. In conjunction with Alltel, the Company believes it has
identified all processing applications which are date-sensitive and has
successfully tested and installed Year 2000 compliant software. This conversion
began in September of 1998 and was completed during the first quarter of 1999.

The second mission critical system identified by the Company is the payment
processing system used by the Company's banking subsidiaries. The Company
contracts with Wausau Financial Services to provide this service. All phases of
the Company's Year 2000 plan have been completed for this system and it has been
tested and determined to be Year 2000 ready. The remediated software has been in
production since September 1998.

M&I Data Services, a subsidiary of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation, provides the
third mission critical system to the Company, trust data processing and
investment services technology. The Year 2000 plan has been completed for this
system as well. Software testing was completed in March of 1999 and determined
to be Year 2000 ready.



                                       15
<PAGE>

All other third-party "IT" systems, primarily PC-based applications, have been
tested, converted and determined to be Year 2000 ready. Vendors for Year 2000
items noted as "non-IT" have been contacted in regard to their state of Year
2000 readiness. The Company acknowledges risk in this area as failure with any
of these systems is not under its control. At this time, all "non-IT" vendors
expect to be Year 2000 compliant prior to December 31, 1999.

Another aspect included in the Year 2000 program, other than "IT" and "non-IT"
computer systems, relates to the risks posed to the Company by customers.
Borrowers and depositors having significant relationships with the Company have
been identified in accordance with regulatory guidelines. The risk to the
Company arising from the failure of these customers to address their Year 2000
concerns has been identified and is included in the contingency plan for
continuing operations.

Costs to date for Year 2000 remediation have not been material to the financial
condition of the Company. All costs related to the Company's Year 2000 plan have
been expensed as incurred. Total expenses recognized to date are $811,000
including $136,000 in personnel expense and $675,000 in hardware and software
expense. Personnel expense relates to Year 2000 training, testing, customer
awareness of Year 2000 concerns and evaluation of Year 2000 efforts of
significant customers. Hardware and software costs include purchase/replacement

and has greatly reduced the possibility of significant interruptions of normal
operations.
