                 NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (unaudited)


Note 1. Interim Financial Statements

        Interim consolidated financial statements have not been examined
        by independent public accountants, but include all adjustments
        (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the
        opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
        the results for these periods.  The results of operation for the
        interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
        a full year. 

        For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks
        includes cash on hand and amounts due from banks (including cash
        items in process of clearing).  Cash flows from demand deposits,
        NOW accounts, savings accounts, and federal funds purchased and
        sold are reported net since their original maturities are less
        than three months.  Cash flows from loans and time deposits are
        presented as net increases or decreases. 


                              PART I, ITEM 2.
                           HILLS BANCORPORATION
                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
            OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


The consolidated balance sheet of Hills Bancorporation as of March 31,
1995 reflects total assets of $444,890,000 which is a slight decrease of
$22,000 from December 31, 1994.  Net loans are $307,204,000 which
represents an increase of $6,383,000 from December 31, 1994.  Compared to
one year ago, total assets have increased from $416,404,000 to
$444,890,000 for an increase of $28,486,000.  Also during this time, net
loans increased $41,464,000 to $307,204,000 as of March 31, 1995.  These
loan increases were primarily single family residential loans in the Iowa
City and Coralville area.  By March 31, 1995, the U.S. Government bond
interest rates, after increasing during 1994, have decreased back to
yields effective in December, 1994.  The changes in rates have a direct
effect on secondary market financing and also on other income for the Bank
in terms of loan origination fees.  At this time, loan demand for in-house
real estate loans appears to be strong and the funding of these loans will
come from deposit growth and/or FHLB advances. 

On the liability side of the bank, deposits (when federal funds purchased
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are included) as of
March 31, 1995 totaled $373,330,000, a decrease of $6,551,000 for the
first three months.  March 31, 1995 deposits, including repos, have grown
$15,414,000 from March 31, 1994.  Also during the last twelve months,
borrowings from the FHLB has increased from $15,790,000 to $25,758,000. 
Asset-liability management encompasses both the management of interest
rate sensitivity and the maintenance of adequate liquidity.  Interest rate
sensitivity management attempts to provide the optimal level of net
interest income while managing exposure to risks associated with interest
rate movements.  Liquidity management involves planning to meet
anticipated funding needs.  Management monitors the rate sensitivity and
liquidity positions on an on-going basis and, when necessary, appropriate
action is taken to minimize any adverse effects of rapid interest rate
movements or any unexpected liquidity concerns.  








<PAGE>
In January of 1995, Hills Bancorporation paid a dividend of $2.60 per
share.  The dividend of $2.60 per share represents an 8.33% increase from
the $2.40 paid in January, 1994.  The total dividend of $1,268,000 is
deducted from stockholders' equity and is reflected in the resulting
stockholders' equity as of March 31, 1995 of $37,470,000.  Stockholders'
equity at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 reflects an adjustment for
unrealized gain (losses) on debt securities, net of income taxes.  Prior
to December 31, 1993 all debt securities were carried at amortized cost. 
Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and
classified investments as held to maturity or available for sale. 
Investment securities held to maturity are those for which the Company has
the ability and intent to hold to maturity.  Securities meeting such
criteria at the date of purchase and as of the balance sheet date are
carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts. 
Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are based upon the
adjusted book value of the specific securities sold.  

Debt securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value and the
unrealized holding gains or losses are presented as a separate component
of stockholders' equity, net of their deferred income tax effect.  The
unrealized holding gains net of deferred income taxes, of the debt
securities available for sale as of December 31, 1994, is presented as an
adjustment of the separate component of stockholders' equity.  At 
March 31, 1995, due to the change in government interest rates, the gross
unrealized loss decreased to $2,326,000 from $4,119,000 at December 31,
1994.  After the adjustment for deferred income taxes, the net effect on
stockholders' equity was a $1,129,000 increase.  The change in interest
rates is represented by an example of a U.S. Government bond with a two-
year maturity and a yield of 7.55% in December, 1994 and at the end of
March the yield available was 6.65%.

The total stockholders' equity of Hills Bancorporation before the
reduction for the ESOP shares as a percent of total assets is 9.60%. 
Under risk-based capital rules, total capital is 00.00% of risk-adjusted
assets, compared to the current 8% requirement.  

The consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 was
$1,217,000 compared to $1,171,000 for the same period ended March 31,
1994.  This is an increase of $46,000 representing an earnings per share
for the three months of $2.48 compared to $2.40 for the same three months
in 1994.  Net interest income is up by $327,000 over the prior three
months one year ago and is reflective primarily of volume increases in
terms of total number of assets while the interest rate margin, which is
the difference between what the bank earns on investments and loans and
pays on interest-bearing deposits is up slightly from one year ago.  Total
average earning assets were up over $25.7 million for the first quarter of
1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  The provisions for loan losses
are the same for both quarters presented and is reflective of management's
overall opinion of the loan portfolio at this time, the growth of the loan
portfolio, and the level of the reserve as of March 31, 1995.  

Other income of the bank was $793,000 compared to $934,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Loan origination fees
amounted to $19,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 and
$174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  As already discussed,
due to raising interest rates, loan origination fees are not expected to
continue at the prior year's pace and the Bank will see a drop for the
year in loan origination fees.  The Trust Department fees were $373,000
and $349,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively and represents primarily an increase in accounts under
management.  











<PAGE>
Other expenses have increased from $2,599,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1994 to $2,710,000 for the period ended March 31, 1995.  Of this
increase of $111,000, $11,000 is from increases in F.D.I.C. insurance and
salary and employee benefits have increased compared to one year ago by
$41,000.  This is a combination of salary increases and the number of
full-time equivalent employees increasing from March 31, 1994 to March 31,
1995 by ten employees.  Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses are
up $34,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1995 compared to one year
ago.  This increase is primarily in property taxes, rent, and repairs and
maintenance on buildings.  Federal and state income taxes for 1995 are
more than in 1994, primarily the result of increased income before taxes. 


The Bank's principal sources of funds continues to be prepayment of loan
principal and current amortized loan payments.  In addition, funds are
provided from current operations.  All of the funds are used to fulfill
loan commitments, make short-term investments, and fund any deposit
withdrawals needed.  The Company has no material commitments or plans
which will affect its liquidity or capital resources.  The acquisition of
property and equipment may be in cash purchases, or they may be financed
if favorable terms are available.
