for the first six months of 1998 was $23,408,000, an increase of $2,297,000 or
11 percent over the same period of 1997. Fluctuations in net interest income can
result from changes in the volume of assets and liabilities as well as changes
in interest rates. The following table summarizes variances in net interest
income attributed to changes in balance sheet volumes and interest rates:

 *on a fully taxable equivalent basis
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<PAGE>


         The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter was 5.40 percent
compared with 5.18 percent for the same period last year. The net interest
margin is the product of many factors, including the yields on interest bearing
assets, the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, and the mix of interest
bearing assets and liabilities. We continue to face strong competition for loans
in our market niche. Notwithstanding the competitive environment, average loans
increased by 9 percent over the second quarter of 1997. The greater portion of
the increase was in loans made by Diversified Business Credit, Inc. (DBCI) where
yields are higher, contributing to the increase in the net interest margin.

         Noninterest income for the second quarter was up $198,000, or 8 percent
when compared with 1997. Noninterest income for the first six months was
$5,087,000 compared with $5,460,000 for the same period in 1997. The second
quarter included a one-time loan contract cancellation fee that contributed to
the increase. A similar fee was received in the first quarter of 1997.

         Noninterest expense increased $319,000, or 5 percent for the second
quarter and $543,000, or 4 percent for the first six months. The Company's
noninterest expense includes charges incurred in connection with making its
computer systems Year 2000 compliant. The highest increase was in Personnel
expenses related to increased compensation costs and recruiting costs.

         The efficiency ratio improved to 49.33 percent for the second quarter
of 1998, compared to 52.23 percent for the same period last year. The
improvement was due to the $2.3 million increase in net interest income and the
relatively modest increase in noninterest expense, but offset by a decrease in
noninterest income.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE:

         The Company has established and begun implementation of a plan to
address systems-related Year 2000 issues. The plan calls for either modification
to, or replacement of, date sensitive business system applications or
interfaces. The Company currently anticipates that substantially all of the work
related to critical systems, including testing, will be completed by the end of
1998. The Company estimates that the cost of its Year 2000 compliance program
will approximate $800,000 in 1998. Additional costs may be incurred in 1999.
Those costs incurred to modify internal use software will be expensed. A
significant amount of the total cost represents enhancements and improvements,
which will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the 

<PAGE>


enhancement. Portions of the costs are not expected to be incremental to the
Company but instead will constitute a reassignment of existing internal systems
technology resources. 

         Contingency plans have been established for critical business system
applications to mitigate potential delays or other problems associated with
either new system replacements or established vendor delivery dates. 

         The Company continues to monitor the actions of third parties, e.g.,
vendors or customers, to appropriately address their own Year 2000 compliance
issues.


LOAN LOSS RESERVE:

         Net loan charge-offs during the second quarter were $150,000, compared
with $156,000 for the same period last year. The loan loss provision was
$260,000 for the second quarter, compared with $567,000 in the second quarter of
1997. The provision is based on management's continuing evaluation of the loan
portfolio, including estimates and appraisals of collateral values, and current
economic conditions. At June 30, 1998, the allowance for loan losses was
$10,676,000, or 1.47 percent of loans, compared to 1.51 percent at December 31,
1997. Credit quality remains strong with non-performing assets at .4 percent of
loans outstanding. At quarter end the reserve coverage of non-performing assets
was 402 percent. Activity regarding the allowance is summarized below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

         The Company's average total assets were $ 959.9 million for the
three-months ended June 30, 1998, up from $ 900.4 million for the same period in
1997. The majority of the increase is attributable to loans to businesses. The
Company continues to fund asset growth from various liability sources, including
interest bearing deposits, short-term borrowings, retention of earnings, and
noninterest bearing deposits. Short-term borrowings include commercial paper
which is used to fund the loans of the Company's commercial finance subsidiary,
Diversified Business Credit, Inc. (DBCI). In addition to deposits and short-term
borrowings, the Company had long-term debt 

<PAGE>


of $ 67 million at June 30, 1998, in the form of senior notes guaranteed by the
Company, which were also used to fund the loans of DBCI. Subsequent to June 30,
DBCI issued and the Company guaranteed an additional $62 million in senior notes
with maturities of five to seven years.

         The Company continues to maintain a capital position that exceeds
regulatory risk-based and leverage ratio capital requirements. The required
risk-based ratio is 8 percent and the required leverage ratio is 3 to 5 percent.
The following table shows the Company's capital ratios:

Discretionary Proxy Voting Authority/Stockholder Proposals

         On May 21, 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an
amendment to Rule 14a-4, as promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934. The amendment to 14a-4(c)(1) governs the Company's use of its
discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to a stockholder proposal
which the stockholder has not sought to include in the Company's proxy
statement. The new amendment provides that if a proponent of a proposal fails to
notify the Company at least 45 days prior to the month and day of mailing of the
prior year's proxy statement, then the management proxies will be allowed to use
their discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the meeting,
without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

         With respect to the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, if
the Company is not provided notice of a stockholder proposal which the
stockholder has not previously sought to include in the Company's proxy
statement by January 22, 1999, the management proxies will be allowed to use
their discretionary authority as outlined above.

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:

Net earnings were $4,320,000 for the second quarter of 1998, up 24 percent,
compared with $3,471,000 in the second quarter of 1997. Earnings per share
increased to $0.49 compared with $0.38 in the second quarter of 1997. 

Second quarter net interest income was $11,957,000, which was higher by
$1,225,000, or 11 percent, than in the second quarter of 1997. The improvement
was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans, which were up $60.7
million, or 9 percent from the second quarter of 1997. The growth in loans
occurred mainly in commercial lending at both subsidiaries, National City Bank
of Minneapolis and Diversified Business Credit, Inc. The net interest margin was
5.40 percent for the second quarter compared with 5.18 percent for the same
period last year. Noninterest income for the second quarter was $2,678,000
compared with $2,480,000 in the same period of 1997. Noninterest expense for the
second quarter was $7,219,000 an increase of $319,000 or 5 percent compared with
the second quarter of 1997.

Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter were $150,000. Additional loss
provisions of $260,000 were added to the reserve during the quarter. As a
result, the Company's reserve for loan losses at June 30 was $10,676,000 or 1.47
percent of loans outstanding compared to $10,071,000 and 1.51 percent at
December 31, 1997. Nonperforming assets, those loans which were 90 days past due
or on which interest is no longer expected to be earned, were $2.7 million or
 .37 percent of total loans at June 30, 1998 compared with $1.2 million or .18
percent of total loans at December 31, 1997. The reserve coverage of
nonperforming assets was 402 percent at June 30.
