                  IOWA FIRST BANCSHARES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




Note 1.  Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

         Nature of business:

         Iowa First  Bancshares  Corp. is a bank holding company  providing bank
         and bank related services through its subsidiaries.

         Significant accounting policies:

            Principles of consolidation:

            The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
            accounts  of the Company and its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  First
            National Bank of Muscatine  (Muscatine)  and First  National Bank in
            Fairfield  (Fairfield),  collectively referred to herein as (Banks).
            All  material  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have  been
            eliminated  in   consolidation.   The  unaudited  interim  financial
            statements  presented  reflect  all  adjustments  which are,  in the
            opinion of management,  necessary to a fair statement of the results
            for the  interim  periods.  All  such  adjustments  are of a  normal
            recurring nature.

            Presentation of cash flows:

            For  purposes  of  reporting  cash  flows,  cash and due from  banks
            include  cash  on-hand and  amounts due from banks.  Cash flows from
            demand deposits,  NOW accounts,  savings accounts, and federal funds
            sold are reported net, since their original maturities are less than
            three months.  Cash flows are also reported net for securities  sold
            under  agreements to  repurchase,  Federal Home Loan Bank  advances,

            Investment securities:

            Investment  securities  held to maturity  are those debt  securities
            that the Banks have the  ability  and intent to hold until  maturity
            regardless  of  changes  in market  conditions,  liquidity  needs or
            changes in general economic conditions.  Such securities are carried
            at cost  adjusted  for  amortization  of premiums  and  accretion of
            discounts.  If the  ability  or  intent to hold to  maturity  is not
            present  for  certain  specified  securities,  such  securities  are
            considered  available  for sale as the Banks intend to hold them for
            an indefinite  period of time but not  necessarily to maturity.  Any
            decision to sell a security  classified  as available for sale would
            be based on various  factors,  including  significant  movements  in
            interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Banks' assets and
            liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and
            other similar factors.  Securities available for sale are carried at
            fair value.  Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or
            decreases in stockholders'  equity,  net of the related deferred tax
            effect. There are no securities held for trading purposes.  Realized
            gains or  losses,  determined  on the basis of the cost of  specific
            securities sold, are included in earnings.

            Pursuant  to a FASB  Special  Report "A Guide to  Implementation  of
            Statement  115 on  Accounting  for Certain  Investments  in Debt and
            Equity  Securities"  the  Company  transferred  at  fair  value  all
            investment  securities  from held to maturity to available  for sale
            prior to December 31, 1995.

            Loans and direct lease financing:

            Loans are  stated at the  amount of  unpaid  principal,  reduced  by
            unearned discount and an allowance for loan losses. The Banks record
            impaired  loans at the present  value of expected  future cash flows
            discounted  at  the  loan's  effective   interest  rate,  or  as  an
            expedient,  at the loan's  observable market price or the fair value
            of the  collateral  if the loan is collateral  dependent.  A loan is
            impaired  when it is probable the creditor will be unable to collect
            all  contractual  principal and interest  payments due in accordance
            with the terms of the loan agreement.
<PAGE>

            The allowance for loan losses is maintained at the level  considered
            adequate by  management  of the Banks to provide for losses that can
            be reasonably anticipated.  The allowance is increased by provisions
            charged to  operating  expense  and reduced by net  charge-offs.  In
            determining  the adequacy of the allowance  balance,  the Banks make
            continuous   credit  reviews  of  the  loan  portfolio  and  related
            off-balance sheet commitments, consider current economic conditions,
            historical loan loss  experience,  review of specific  problem loans
            and other factors.

            Unearned  interest on  discounted  loans is amortized to income over
            the life of the  loans  using  the  interest  method.  For all other
            loans,  interest  is  accrued  daily  on the  outstanding  balances.
            Accrual  of  interest  is  discontinued  on a loan  when  management
            believes,  after considering  collection  efforts and other factors,
            that the borrower's  financial  condition is such that collection of
            interest is doubtful.  Generally  this occurs when the collection of
            interest or principal has become 90 days past due.

            Direct loan and lease origination fees and costs are generally being
            deferred  and the  net  amount  amortized  as an  adjustment  of the
            related loan's or lease's yield. The Banks generally  amortize these
            amounts  over the  contractual  life.  Commitment  fees based upon a
            percentage of customers'  unused lines of credit and fees related to
            standby letters of credit are not significant.

            Bank premises and equipment:

            Bank  premises  and  equipment  are stated at cost less  accumulated
            depreciation.    Depreciation   is   computed   primarily   by   the
            straight-line method based on estimated useful lives.

            Other assets:

            Other  real  estate  (ORE),  which  is  included  in  other  assets,
            represents  properties  acquired through  foreclosure,  in-substance
            foreclosure  or other  proceedings.  ORE is recorded at the lower of
            the amount of the loan or fair market value of the  properties.  Any
            write-down  to fair  market  value at the time of transfer to ORE is
            charged to the  allowance  for loan  losses.  Property is  evaluated
            regularly  to ensure that the  recorded  amount is  supported by the
            current fair market value.

            Income taxes:

            The Company  files its tax return on a  consolidated  basis with its
            subsidiary  banks.  The  entities  follow the  direct  reimbursement
            method of  accounting  for income  taxes under which income taxes or
            credits  which result from the  subsidiary  banks'  inclusion in the
            consolidated  tax  return  are paid to or  received  from the parent
            company.

            Deferred taxes are provided on a liability  method whereby  deferred
            tax assets are recognized for deductible  temporary  differences and
            operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred liabilities
            are  recognized  for  taxable   temporary   differences.   Temporary
            differences  are the  differences  between the  reported  amounts of
            assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are
            reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
            it is more likely than not that some  portion or all of the deferred
            assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
            adjusted  for the  effects  of  changes in tax laws and rates on the
            date of enactment.

            Deferred  income  taxes  have not been  provided  on the  equity  in
            undistributed  net income of the subsidiaries as the entities file a
            consolidated income tax return.

            Trust assets:

            Trust  assets  (other  than  cash  deposits)  held by the  Banks  in
            fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers are not included in
            the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets since such items are
            not assets of the Banks.
<PAGE>

            Fair value of financial instruments:

            FAS No.  107,  Disclosures  about  Fair  Market  Value of  Financial
            Instruments,  requires  disclosure of fair value  information  about
            financial  instruments,  whether or not  recognized  in the  balance
            sheet,  for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  Interim
            condensed  financial  statements  are not  required  to include  the
            disclosures outlined by FAS 107 and,  accordingly,  are not included
            herein.


Note 2.  Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share

         Common shares and preferred stock authorized total 2,000,000 shares and
         500,000 shares, respectively. Primary earnings per share are arrived at
         by  dividing  net income by the  weighted  average  number of shares of
         common  stock  and  common  stock   equivalents   outstanding  for  the
         respective  period.  The  weighted  average  number of shares of common
         stock and common  stock  equivalents  outstanding  for the first  three
         months of 1996 was 592,785.  Fully dilutive  earnings per share are not
         shown as the dilutive effect of common stock  equivalents was less than
         three percent.

                  IOWA FIRST BANCSHARES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition


The Company's  total assets at March 31, 1996,  were  $277,278,000.  Muscatine's
total assets were $191,442,000  which reflects a $3,141,000 (1.7%) increase from
December 31, 1995,  total assets.  Fairfield's  total assets were $84,188,000 at
March 31,  1996,  which is an increase  of  $1,723,000  (2.1%) when  compared to
December 31, 1995,  total assets.  Total  consolidated  assets increased by 1.6%
during the first three months of 1996.

Net loans  totaled  $169,398,000  at March  31,  1996.  Net  loans at  Muscatine
increased by $760,000 (.7%) during the first three months.  Net loans  decreased
at Fairfield by $704,000 (1.3%) during the first three months.
Consolidated net loans increased by $56,000 year-to-date.

Total  available for sale  securities  increased  $4.4 million  during the first
three months of 1996 while federal funds sold decreased $1.3 million.  The Banks
continue to emphasize  purchase of securities  with maturities of five years and
less as such purchases offer  reasonable  yields with very little credit risk as
well as limited  interest  rate risk.  Additionally,  selected  securities  with
longer  maturities  have been  purchased in order to enhance  overall  portfolio
yield without significantly increasing risk. At March 31, 1996, less than 10% of
investment  securities mature in more than five years and less than 2% mature in
more than ten years. No securities have been sold during the year.

Total  deposits at March 31,  1996,  were  $240,510,000.  Deposits at  Muscatine
increased 2.6% from the prior year end.  Fairfield's  total  deposits  increased
approximately  1.3% during the same period.  This represents a combined  deposit
increase of $4,557,000  (1.9%) for the Company  during the first three months of
1996.  Additionally,  securities sold under  agreements to repurchase  decreased
$1.2 million and intermediate  term advances borrowed from the Federal Home Loan
Bank totaled $3.9 million at quarter end.

Results of Operations

Consolidated  net income from continuing  operations was $792,000,  or $1.34 per
share, for the first quarter of 1996, an $89,000 or 12.7% increase from the same
period  last year.  This  improvement  resulted  primarily  from  increased  net
interest  margin,  $51,000  higher than the first quarter of the prior year, and
reduced operating expenses, $ 76,000 less than the comparable quarter last year.

The Company has been able to expand the net interest margin,  as compared to the
prior year by actively managing asset quality, growth of the loan portfolio, and
rates paid on assets and liabilities. Management has expressed concern, however,
as to the ability to continue increasing the net interest margin each quarter as
short-term  interest rates climb.  Indeed, the net interest margin for the first
quarter of 1996 was $66,000 less than the fourth quarter of 1995.

Provisions  for loan losses were  $15,000 for the three  months  ended March 31,
1996, the same as the first quarter of 1995. Net loan recoveries totaled $60,000
compared to net recoveries of $20,000 for the first quarter of 1995.

Nonaccrual loans were reduced during the past twelve months totaling $906,000 at
March 31, 1996,  $395,000 less than the end of the first quarter in 1995.  Other
real estate owned totaled $136,000, and loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing totaled $139,000.  The reserve for loan losses of $2,383,000 represents
1.4% of net loans and 202% of total nonaccrual  loans,  other real estate owned,
and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing.

The  efficiency  ratio,  defined  as  noninterest  expense  as a percent  of net
interest income plus noninterest income, was 58.4% for the first three months of
1996 compared to 60% for all of 1995.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company  manages its balance  sheet to minimize the impact of interest  rate
movements on its earnings.  The term "rate sensitive" refers to those assets and
liabilities  which are  "sensitive" to  fluctuations  in rates and yields.  When
interest  rates move,  earnings may be affected in many ways.  Interest rates on
assets and liabilities  may change at different  times or by different  amounts.
Maintaining a proper  balance  between rate  sensitive  earning  assets and rate
sensitive   liabilities  is  the  principal  function  of  asset  and  liability
management of a banking organization.
<PAGE>

The  following  table shows the interest  rate  sensitivity  position at several
repricing intervals (dollar amounts in thousands):

</TABLE>


The data in this table  incorporates the contractual  characteristics as well as
an estimate of the actual repricing  characteristics of the Company's assets and
liabilities.  Based on the  estimate,  twenty  percent  of the  savings  and NOW
accounts are reflected in the less than three months category,  30% in the three
month to one year  category,  with the remaining 50% in the 1-5 year time frame.
Money  market  accounts  are  estimated  as 25% in the less  than  three  months
category and 75% in the three months to one year time frame.

A positive  repricing gap for a given period exists when total  interest-earning
assets exceed total interest-bearing  liabilities and a negative gap exists when
total  interest-bearing  liabilities are in excess of  interest-earning  assets.
Generally a positive  repricing gap will result in increased net interest income
in a rising rate environment and decreased net interest income in a falling rate
environment.  A negative  repricing gap tends to produce  increased net interest
income in a falling rate  environment  and  decreased  net interest  income in a
rising rate environment.  At March 31, 1996, rate sensitive liabilities exceeded
rate  sensitive  assets within a one year  maturity  range by $23.6 million and,
thus,  the Company is  positioned  to benefit  from a decline in interest  rates
within the next year.

The Company's  repricing gap position is useful for measuring  general  relative
risk  levels.  However,  even with  perfectly  matched  repricing  of assets and
liabilities,  interest rate risk cannot be avoided entirely.  Interest rate risk
remains in the form of prepayment risk of assets and liabilities, timing lags in
adjusting  certain assets and  liabilities  that have varying  sensitivities  to
market interest rates, and basis risk. Basis risk refers to the possibility that
the repricing  behavior of variable-rate  assets could differ from the repricing
characteristics  of  liabilities  which  reprice in the same time  period.  Even
though  these  assets are  match-funded,  the spread  between  asset  yields and
funding costs could change.

Because the  repricing  gap position  does not capture  these risks,  Management
utilizes simulation modeling to measure and manage the rate sensitivity exposure
of earnings.  The Company's simulation model provides a projection of the effect
on net interest  income of various  interest  rate  scenarios  and balance sheet
strategies.

Liquidity

For  banks,  liquidity  represents  ability  to meet both loan  commitments  and
deposit withdrawals.  Factors which influence the need for liquidity are varied,
but include general economic  conditions,  asset/liability mix, bank reputation,
future  FDIC  funding  needs,  changes  in  regulatory  environment,  and credit
standing.  Assets which provide liquidity consist principally of loans, cash and
due from  banks,  investment  securities,  and  short-term  investments  such as
federal funds.  Maturities of securities  held for investment  purposes and loan
payments   provide  a  constant   flow  of  funds   available  for  cash  needs.
Additionally,  liquidity can be gained by the sale of loans or securities  prior
to maturity if such assets had previously been designated as available for sale.
Interest  rates,  relative to the rate paid by the security or loan sold,  along
with the maturity of the  security or loan,  are the major  determinates  of the
price which can be realized upon sale.

The subsidiary banks do not have brokered deposits.

Securities  available for sale with a cost totaling  $65,037,000  at quarter-end
included net unrealized gains of $56,000.  These securities may be sold in whole
or in part to increase liquid assets,  reposition the investment  portfolio,  or
for other purposes as defined by Management.

Capital

Stockholders'  equity increased $278,000 during the three months ended March 31,
1996.

Federal regulatory agencies have adopted various capital standards for financial
institutions,  including risk-based capital standards. The primary objectives of
the risk-based  capital  framework are to provide a more  consistent  system for
comparing capital  positions of financial  institutions and to take into account
the  different   inherent  risks  among  financial   institutions'   assets  and
off-balance-sheet  items.  Risk-based  capital  standards have been supplemented
with requirements for a minimum Tier 1 capital to assets ratio (leverage ratio).
In addition,  regulatory  agencies  consider  the  published  capital  levels as
minimum levels and may require a Financial  Institution  to maintain  capital at
higher levels.

A  comparison  of the  Company's  capital as of March 31,  1996 with the minimum
requirements is presented below.
                                                                      Minimum

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in
accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  which require the
measurement of financial  position and operating  results in terms of historical
dollars without  considering  changes in the relative  purchasing power of money
over time due to inflation.  Unlike most industrial companies,  virtually all of
the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.
                                                       
As a result,  interest  rates  have a more  significant  impact  on a  financial
institution's  performance  than the  effects  of general  levels of  inflation.
Interest  rates do not  necessarily  move in the same  direction  or in the same
magnitude  as the price of goods and  services.  In the  current  interest  rate
environment,  liquidity and the maturity  structure of the Company's  assets and
liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

Trends, Events or Uncertainties

Officers  and  Directors of the Company and its  subsidiaries  have had, and may
have in the future,  banking  transactions in the ordinary course of business of
the Company's subsidiaries.  All such transactions are on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates on loans and collateral,  as those prevailing at
the time for comparable  transactions  with others,  involve no more than normal
risk of collectibility, and present no other unfavorable features.

At its meeting on June 15, 1989, the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized a
stock repurchase program, to repurchase up to 10 percent of the Company's shares
or 60,000 shares. Through March 31, 1996,  approximately 29,000 shares of common
stock  have been  purchased  under the  program,  net of sales to the  Company's
Employee Stock  Ownership Plan and shares issued pursuant to the Company's stock
option plan. The Company expects to continue repurchase of its common stock from
time to time under the repurchase program.

In the normal  course of  business,  the Banks are  involved  in  various  legal
proceedings.  In the current opinion of management, any liability resulting from
such  proceedings  would not have a material  effect on the Company's  financial
statements.

The Company has incurred legal and engineering fees, and performed various tests
on a bank-owned vacant lot to determine if the lot contains environmental damage
or a potential for environmental  damage liability.  As a result of the testing,
the Company has  submitted a Site  Clean-Up  Report with the Iowa  Department of
Natural Resources  (IADNR).  The Company intends to work with the IADNR, as well
as its own  engineers and  attorneys,  to determine the nature and scope of this
environmental concern, to ascertain the need for a monitoring and/or remediation
program and to consider the costs and allocations of responsibility with respect
to any  expenses  incurred  under  such a program.  In the event  that  on-going
monitoring or remediation is required,  reimbursement  by predecessor  owners or
insurers is likely.  No conclusions have been reached at this time about a final
plan of  monitoring  and/or  remediation,  if any,  however  costs  that  may be
associated  with such a plan will also most  likely be  covered  by  predecessor
owners or insurers. Besides those previously discussed,  management is not aware
of any trends,  events,  or uncertainties  that will have or that are reasonably
likely to have material effect on the Company's liquidity,  capital resources or
operations.
