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

     The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter was 5.33 percent
compared with 5.14 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. Average loans increased by 11 percent over the
third quarter of 1997. The greater portion of the increase was in loans
originated by Diversified Business Credit, Inc. (DBCI) where yields are higher,
contributing to the increase in the net interest margin.

     Noninterest income for the third quarter was $2,177,000 up $57,000 compared
with adjusted noninterest income of $2,120,000 for the same period of 1997.
Noninterest income for the first nine months was $7,264,000 compared with
adjusted noninterest income of $7,580,000 for the same period in 1997. The third
quarter and nine months earnings for 1997 include a state income tax refund of
$1,369,000.

     Noninterest expense for the third quarter was $7,146,000 essentially
unchanged from $7,149,000 for the third quarter of 1997. Noninterest expense for
the first nine months was $21,715,000, an increase of $540,000 or 3 percent over
the same period of 1997. The Company's noninterest expense includes charges
incurred in connection with making its systems Year 2000 compliant.

     The efficiency ratio improved to 49.47 percent for the third quarter of
1998, compared to 52.15 percent for the same period last year. The improvement
was due to the $1.4 million increase in net interest income, the decrease in
noninterest expense and offset by a decrease in noninterest income.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE:

     The Company has begun the testing of remediated systems related to Year
2000 problems. The Company anticipates that substantially all of the work
related to critical systems will be concluded by the end of 1998. The Company
estimates that the cost of its Year 2000 compliance program will approximate
$1.1 million of which the Company has incurred approximately $800,000 to date.
Costs incurred to modify internal use software will be expensed. A significant
amount of the total estimated cost represents enhancements and improvements,
which will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the enhancement or
improvement.

     The potential impact of the Year 2000 issue will depend not only on the
corrective measures the Company undertakes, but also on the way in which the
Year 2000 issue is addressed by governmental agencies, businesses, and other
entities who provide data to, or receive data from the Company, or whose
financial condition or operational capability is important to the Company. The
Company continues to monitor the actions of these third parties to appropriately
address their own Year 2000 issues and to evaluate any likely effect on the
Company. There is no guarantee that the systems of other companies or entities
on which the Company relies will be remediated on a timely basis, or that a
remediation or conversion will be compatible with the Company's systems. If
these issues are not adequately resolved, the Company's future business
operations and, in turn, its financial position and results of operations, could
be negatively impacted. In addition, the Company's credit risk associated with
its borrowers may increase as a result of their individual Year 2000 issues.
However, at this time, it is not possible to quantify the potential effect of
such situations.

     Individual contingency plans have been established for mission critical
business systems to mitigate potential delays or other problems associated with
either new system replacements or established vendor delivery dates. The plans
were developed using a standard methodology that includes trigger dates, steps
to follow, expected life of the plan and resources required.

LOAN LOSS RESERVE:

     Net loan charge-offs during the third quarter were $701,000, compared with
net loan recoveries of $61,000 for the same period last year. The loan loss
provision was $650,000 for the third quarter, compared with $502,000 in the
third 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 September 30, 1998, the
allowance for 


                                        7

<PAGE>


loan losses was $10,625,000, or 1.39 percent of loans, compared to 1.51 percent
at December 31, 1997. Nonperforming assets increased to $18,642,000 or 2.2
percent of loans at quarter end compared with $2,656,000 on June 30, 1998. The
increase occurred at the Company's commercial finance subsidiary, DBCI, and
related to two loans in the process of liquidation. The Company expects the
liquidation to be substantially complete by year-end. Activity regarding the
allowance is summarized below:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     The Company's average total assets were $ 1,014.2 million for the
three-months ended September 30, 1998, up from $ 933.4 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 of $ 139
million at September 30, 1998, primarily in the form of senior notes guaranteed
by the Company, which were also used to fund the loans of DBCI. During the third
quarter, 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:

Item 4. Submission of matters to a vote of security holders.

        None

Item 5. Other Matters

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 $4,263,000 for the third quarter of 1998, compared with
$4,311,000 in the third quarter of 1997. Earnings per share were $0.48 compared
with $0.49 in the third quarter of 1997. The third quarter earnings for 1997
include a state income tax refund of $1,369,000 with an after tax effect of
approximately $850,000. Excluding the effect of last year's tax refund, net
earnings were up 18.6 percent over 1997.

Third quarter net interest income was $12,641,000, which was higher by
$1,398,000, or 12 percent, than in the third quarter of 1997. The improvement
was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans, which were up $76
million, or 11 percent from the third 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
5.33 percent for the third quarter compared with 5.14 percent for the same
period last year. Noninterest income for the third quarter was $2,177,000
compared with $3,489,000 in the same period of 1997. The tax refund of
$1,369,000 is included in last year's noninterest income. Noninterest expense
was essentially unchanged for the third quarter at $7,146,000 compared with
$7,149,000 for the third quarter of 1997.

Net loan charge-offs for the third quarter were $701,000. Additional loss
provisions of $650,000 were added to the reserve during the quarter. As a
result, the Company's reserve for loan losses at September 30 was $10,625,000 or
1.39 percent of loans outstanding compared to $10,071,000 and 1.51 percent at
December 31, 1997. Nonperforming assets were $18.6 million or 2.4 percent of
total loans at September 30, 1998 compared with $1.2 million or .18 percent of
total loans at December 31, 1997. The increase in nonperforming assets occurred
at the Company's commercial finance subsidiary, Diversified Business Credit,
Inc. The increase related to two loans in the process of liquidation. We expect
the liquidation to be substantially complete by year-end.
