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

EARNINGS:

         Net earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 1999 were $3,605,000
compared with $3,430,000 in the fourth quarter of 1998 and $3,651,000 in the
first quarter of 1998. Basic earnings per share was $ .41 for the first quarter
of 1999, compared with earnings per share of $.39 and $ .41 in the fourth and
first quarters of 1998, respectively. Net earnings in the first quarter of 1999
in comparison with the same period last year, were adversely affected by the
loss of interest income on nonperforming assets, which acted to lower the
current quarter net earnings compared with last year by $204,000. Earnings
information is summarized below:

         Net interest income for the first quarter was $11,467,000 compared with
$11,451,000 in the first quarter of 1998. Net interest income in the first
quarter of 1999 was adversely affected by the loss of interest income on
nonperforming assets, which reduced net interest income by $339,000.
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:

</TABLE>

         The tax equivalent net interest margin for the quarter was 4.90 percent
compared with 5.40 percent for the same period last year. We continue to face
strong competition for loans in our market niche. Notwithstanding the
competitive environment, loans increased by 13 percent over the first quarter of
1998.


                                       5

         Noninterest income for the first quarter was $2,413,000 compared with
$2,409,000 in 1998. An increase in service charges on deposit accounts was
offset by a decrease in trust fee income.

         Noninterest expense was $7,304,000 for the first quarter compared with
$7,350,000 for the first quarter of 1998. The Company's noninterest expense
includes charges incurred in connection with making its computer systems Year
2000 compliant as discussed below. Increases in personnel expenses and occupancy
costs were offset by decreases in other expenses, such as, advertising and
marketing expense, consulting fees, Federal Reserve Bank service charges, supply
costs, and telephone expense.

         The efficiency ratio improved to 52.62 percent for the first quarter of
1999 compared to 53.03 percent for the same period last year. The improvement
was due to a moderate increase in net interest income and a decrease in
noninterest expense, offset by a decrease in noninterest income.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE:

In 1997 the Company formed a project team, and with the assistance of an outside
consulting firm, assessed the effect of Year 2000 on the Company's critical
hardware and software, and on the embedded technology in its physical facilities
and automated equipment. This assessment also considered the potential effect of
Year 2000 on customers, business partners and vendors. A Year 2000 plan was
developed, which included prioritized tasks, implementation, testing schedules,
and contingency plans. The Company has replaced or modified certain systems to
ensure Year 2000 compliance. The Company has substantially completed the testing
of remediated systems related to Year 2000 compliance. The Company anticipates
that substantially all of the testing related to critical systems will be
concluded by the end of second quarter 1999. The Company estimates that the cost
of its Year 2000 compliance program will approximate $1.1 million, of which the
Company has incurred approximately $1 million 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 Company
will fund the expenditures from operating earnings.

The potential effect 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



                                       6
<PAGE>

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 adversely affected. 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
new system replacements, system remediation, 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. Business continuation plans will be developed for critical business
processes to assure that service to customers will not be impaired. Federal
banking regulators have conducted special examinations of banks to determine
whether they are taking the necessary steps to prepare for Year 2000. They are
closely monitoring the progress being made by the banks to ensure that key steps
are fully completed as required by the individual bank plans.

RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES:

         Net loan recoveries during the first quarter were $4,000 compared with
net loan recoveries of $15,000 for the same period last year. The loan loss
provision was $612,000 for the first quarter, compared with $480,000 in the
first quarter of 1998. The provision is based on management's continuing
evaluation of the Company's loan portfolio, including estimates and appraisals
of collateral values, and current economic conditions. At March 31, 1999, the
allowance for loan losses was $11,039,000, or 1.42 percent of loans, compared to
1.37 percent of loans at December 31, 1998. Nonperforming assets were 11.8
million at March 31, 1999 compared with 11.5 million at December 31, 1998.
Nonperforming assets consist of loans 90 days or more past due, non-accrual
loans and restructured loans. The past due loan total at March 31, 1999 included
a loan of $1.9 million, which was brought current subsequent to the end of the
quarter and is no longer nonperforming.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

         The Company's average total assets were $ 1.021 billion for the
three-months ended March 31, 1999, up from $ 933.1 million for the same period
in 1998. The majority of the increase was attributed to loans to businesses. The
Company continues to fund asset growth from various liability sources, including
interest and noninterest bearing deposits, short-term borrowings, and retention
of earnings. Short-term borrowings include commercial paper, which is used to
fund the loans of Diversified Business Credit, Inc. (DBCI). In addition to
deposits and short-term borrowings, the Company had long-term debt of $ 139
million at March 31, 1999, in the form of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and
senior notes which are also used to fund the loans of DBCI.

         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:

BUSINESS SEGMENTS:

The Company has two business segments, National City Bank of Minneapolis
(commercial bank) and Diversified Business Credit, Inc. (commercial finance).
The main offices of each segment are located in the business district of
downtown Minneapolis. The commercial bank has a detached facility drive-up
location in downtown Minneapolis and a full service branch bank in Edina,
Minnesota. The commercial finance segment also has an office in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin.



                                       8
<PAGE>

The commercial bank offers the usual banking services including business,
consumer, and real estate loans, deposit and cash management services,
correspondent banking, and safe deposit. In addition, the commercial bank also
offers trust services including management of funds for individuals, the
administration of estates and trusts, and for corporations, governmental bodies,
and public authorities, paying agent services, trustee under corporate
indenture, pension and profit sharing agreements, and record keeping and
reporting for 401-K savings plans. The commercial bank originates the majority
of its business in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

The net income of the commercial bank increased to $1.9 million in the first
quarter of 1999 from $1.6 million in the same period of 1998. The bank has
increased its net earnings through the growth of its loan portfolio and the use
of low-cost funding sources, primarily deposits, and by maintaining the level of
non-interest expenses incurred.

The following table summarizes the commercial bank's performance measures:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The commercial finance segment specializes in providing working capital loans
secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and other marketable assets. Loans
are made on a demand basis with no fixed repayment schedule. Compared to
equity-based loans made by commercial banks and others, asset-based loans
require closer monitoring and typically interest rates earned on these loans are
higher. The commercial finance segment funds its loans through the issuance of
long-term debt in the form of Senior Notes and borrowings from the parent
company. The commercial finance segment originates the majority of its loans in
Minnesota with approximately 15 percent originated in its Wisconsin office.

The net earnings of the commercial finance segment were $1.4 million in the
first quarter of 1999 compared with $1.7 million in the same period of 1998. An
increased level of non-performing loans compared to the prior year resulted in a
loss of interest income and a corresponding decrease in net income.

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:
The expanding national economy and good regional earnings of our customers have
contributed to our maintaining your Company's earnings and credit quality.
During the third quarter of 1998, two loans totaling $15.9 million were placed
on non-accrual. These loans totaled less than $7.8 million at March 31, 1999.
Subsequent to the quarter end, these loans were reduced to less than $500,000.
This is the kind of result we anticipated when these two customers and our
financial risk managers planned to resolve this unacceptable risk. We expect the
Company to return to its consistent and continuing strong performance.

Net earnings were $3,605,000 for the first quarter of 1999, compared with
$3,430,000 in the fourth quarter of 1998 and $3,651,000 in the first quarter of
1998. Earnings per share were $0.41, compared with $0.39 in the fourth quarter
of 1998 and $0.41 in the first quarter of 1998. Net earnings for the first
quarter of 1999 in comparison with the same period last year, were adversely
affected by the loss of interest income on two non-accrual loans, which acted to
lower the current quarter net earnings compared with last year by $204,000.
Nonperforming assets were $11.8 million or 1.51 percent of total loans at March
31, 1999 compared with $11.5 million or 1.51 percent of total loans at December
31, 1998. The total at March 31, 1999 included a past due loan of $1.9 million
that was brought current subsequent to the quarter end and is no longer
nonperforming. Excluding this past due loan, nonperforming assets would be $9.9
million, an improvement from last quarter.

The Company's reserve for loan losses at quarter-end was $11,039,000 or 1.42
percent of loans outstanding compared to $10,423,000 and 1.37 percent at
December 31, 1998.

First quarter net interest income was $11,467,000 compared with $11,451,000 in
the first quarter of 1998. Net interest income was adversely affected by the
lost interest income on nonperforming assets in comparison with last year. The
net interest margin was 4.90 percent for the first quarter compared with 4.63
percent in the fourth quarter of 1998 and 5.40 percent in the first quarter of
1998. Noninterest income for the first quarter was $2,413,000 or compared with
$2,409,000 in the same period of 1998. Noninterest expense for the first quarter
was $7,304,000 compared with $7,350,000 in the first quarter of 1998.

At the Annual Stockholders' meeting held on April 21, 1999, Wendell R. Anderson,
John H. Daniels, Jr., David C. Malmberg, and Walter E. Meadley, Jr. were
reelected to the Board of Directors. The Directors declared a sixty cent per
share cash dividend to stockholders of record May 5, 1999, payable June 7, 1999.
Forty-eight cents of this dividend is related to our 1998 earnings, and twelve
cents is for the first quarter 1999 earnings. Of course, this is a departure
from our history of declaring stock dividends since the Company's stock was
issued in 1980. David C. Malmberg our Board Chairman described the Board's
intentions when he stated, "This cash dividend reflects the intention of the
Company to more closely model the dividend yield to shareholders that other peer
financial institutions employ. The dividend payout is made to properly reflect
the strong and consistent performance of the Company and our outlook for the
future. The investing market will now have a dividend payout style comparable to
that used by other banks." Your Board will consider future dividends on a
quarterly basis and take action to provide a decent return to you reflective of
our earnings.

/s/ David C. Malmberg              /s/ David L. Andreas
