ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
 
     Mahaska Investment Company (the "Company") is a financial services holding
company headquartered in Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa. The Company was
incorporated in Iowa in 1973 and is a bank holding company registered under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and a savings and loan holding company under
the Savings and Loan Holding Company Act. The Company owns 100% of the stock of
Mahaska State Bank (the "Bank"), Central Valley Bank ("the Thrift"), and MIC
Leasing Co. ("Leasing").
 
     The Bank and the Thrift engage in retail and commercial banking and related
financial services, providing the usual products and services such as deposits,
commercial, real estate, and consumer loans, and trust services. The Bank also
provides data processing services to affiliated and non-affiliated banks.
Leasing provides equipment leasing and accounts receivable financing.
 
     Since 1988, the Company, either directly or through the Bank or the Thrift,
has invested in loan pool participations that have been purchased by certain
non-affiliated independent service corporations (collectively, the "Servicer")
from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the Resolution Trust
Corporation ("RTC"), or from other sources. These loan pool investments
generally consist of distressed or nonperforming loans, that have been sold at
prices reflecting varying discounts from the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the underlying loans depending on the credit quality of the portfolio.
The Servicer then proceeds to collect these loans from the borrowers.
 
     The Company provides services to the Bank and the Thrift including
management assistance, auditing services, preparation of tax returns, assistance
with respect to accounting and operating systems and procedures, and loan
review. Charges for these services are based on the nature and extent of these
services.
 
B. SUBSIDIARIES
 
     Mahaska State Bank -- The Bank is a full-service, commercial bank which was
chartered as an Iowa state bank in 1931. The Bank operates in south central Iowa
and serves all of Mahaska county from its main bank and two branch offices in
Oskaloosa and serves portions of Keokuk and Iowa counties from its branch office
in North English. The Bank also maintains one drive-up automated teller machine
located in Oskaloosa. The Bank provides a wide array of retail and commercial
banking services, including demand, savings and time deposits, loans, trust
services, and data processing services to the Thrift and to three non-affiliated
banks. The Bank also provides full-service brokerage services to its customers
through an affiliation with an independent broker.
 
     Central Valley Bank -- The Thrift is a full-service, federally-chartered
savings bank which was formed as a de novo institution by the Company in June
1994. The Thrift also operates in south central Iowa from its main office in
Ottumwa, which serves Wapello County, and from its two branches located in
Fairfield and one branch in Sigourney, which serve Jefferson and Keokuk
counties, respectively. On June 21, 1996, the Thrift assumed the deposits and
purchased the loans of the Boatmen's Bank Iowa, N.A. ("Boatmen's) office in
Sigourney, Iowa. This transaction effectively doubled the size of the
subsidiary. The Thrift provides retail deposit services including demand,
savings, and time deposit products and offers commercial, agricultural, real
estate, and consumer loans.
 
     MIC Leasing Co. -- Leasing is an Iowa corporation which was formed by the
Company in 1974 and is currently doing business under the name of On-Site
Commercial Services. Leasing originates and services machinery and equipment
leases to small businesses and farmers. The funding of these leases is either
provided by the Bank, with Leasing receiving a broker fee, or by Leasing
directly. Leasing also provides accounts receivable financing and factoring
services to small businesses in and around the Oskaloosa area.

C. LOAN POOL PARTICIPATIONS
 
     The Company, directly and through the Bank and the Thrift, has
participation interests in pools currently held and serviced by three separate
independent servicing corporations (referred to collectively as the "Servicer").
The three independent servicing corporations are Central States Resources
Corporation, Midstates Resources Corporation, and All States Resources
Corporation. The Company does not have any ownership interest in or control over
these servicing corporations. The independent servicing corporations are owned
by Randal Vardaman and Nyle Johnson. Mr. Vardaman has been engaged in credit
analysis and loan portfolio management in various positions since 1970. He
founded Central States Resources Corporation in 1988 and organized Midstates
Resources Corporation in 1991 and All States Resources Corporation in 1993.
Prior to the formation of the servicing corporations, he reviewed various FDIC
loan pool packages, participated in the liquidation of certain banking
institutions in Iowa, and served as assistant liquidator at the FDIC's Division
of Liquidation. Mr. Johnson has served as credit supervisor with the servicing
corporations since their inceptions. Prior thereto, he served as section chief
of commercial loans for the FDIC Division of Liquidation.
 
     The Company has invested in loan pools purchased by the Servicer at deep
discounts from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the underlying
loans. The loan pools were sold by the FDIC or the RTC acting as conservator,
receiver, or liquidator of failed banks and savings and loan institutions, and
by other large nonaffiliated banking organizations. The loans comprising the
pools were originated throughout the United States. As part of the agreement to
purchase participation interests in the loan pools, the Company and its
subsidiaries have contracted with the Servicer to service the underlying loans
within the respective loan pools which are owned of record by the Servicer. The
Servicer also evaluates various loan pools prior to purchase and makes
recommendations to the Company concerning the creditworthiness of proposed loan
pool purchases and proposes appropriate bids to the Company and any other
potential pool participants.
 
     The Servicer has bid on loan pools from various regional offices of the
FDIC and the RTC, and from other sources. The Company, the Bank, and the Thrift
have purchased participation interests in such pools. The purchase prices paid
by the Company for loan pool participations have ranged from 5.5% to 85.0% of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans comprising such pools at
the time of purchase. The Servicer acquires the loan pools without recourse
against the sellers and, accordingly, the risk of noncollectibility is, for the
most part, assumed by the Company and any other investors in a particular pool.
 
     Although only the FDIC currently offers loan pools, there is no assurance
that it will continue to do so. Federal law mandated that after July 1, 1995,
the RTC no longer was appointed to act as conservator or liquidator and was
phased out of existence by year end 1995; however, the FDIC assumed the RTC's
role with respect to failed savings and loans, as well as continuing in its role
as conservator for failed banks. Beginning in 1996, the Servicer successfully
bid on packages of loans offered for sale by a large banking organization
headquartered in the eastern United States. Should the opportunity to invest in
loan pools not exist in the future, the Company intends to invest available
funds in other income producing assets.
 
     Each pool has a different composition and different characteristics. The
composition of a loan pool is generally determined by the seller based on its
desire to maximize the price it receives for all loans among the various pools.
Some pools may consist of a large number of small consumer loans which are
unsecured or are secured by other assets such as automobiles or mobile homes,
while other pools may consist of loans primarily secured by real estate, and yet
other pools may consist of small to medium balance commercial loans. Still other
pools may contain a mixture of such loans and other types of loans. Some pools
may contain significant numbers of past-due nonperforming loans while other
pools are comprised almost entirely of performing loans. The price bid and paid
for such a loan pool is determined based on the composition of the particular
pool, the amounts the Servicer believes can be collected on such a pool, and the
risks associated with the collection of such amounts.
 
     In considering an investment in a loan pool, the Servicer will evaluate
loans owned and being offered and make recommendations to the Company and other
prospective investors concerning the creditworthiness of the proposed loan pool
purchase. The Servicer performs a comprehensive analysis of the loan pool in an
attempt to ensure proper valuation and adequate safeguards in the event of
default. The bid price on the loan
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   5
 
pools will be reflective of the results of the Servicer's pre-acquisition review
of the loan files. In many cases the loan files may not be current and
substantial uncertainties may exist regarding the collectibility of the various
loans in the pool. Management believes that in many instances the non-current
loans can be brought current once the Servicer has an opportunity to contact the
debtor. The Company makes its own decisions as to whether or not to participate
in a particular loan pool which has been recommended by the Servicer, based on
the Company's experience with the various categories and qualities of loans.
 
     The sales of loan pools by the FDIC and by other sellers is generally
conducted by sealed bid auction. A sealed bid auction requires each bidder to
submit a confidential bid on the subject loan pool and the loan pool is awarded
to the highest bidder. In recent years, the Servicer and the Company have faced
increasing competition in bidding for loan pools.
 
     Since 1988, the Servicer, on behalf of the Company and other investors, has
bid on a large number of loan pools and has been successful in purchasing 52
loan pools. The Company and other investors in the loan pools fund the purchase
by the Servicer and each investor receives a percentage interest in the loan
pool based on its proportional investment relative to the total purchase price
of the pool. Each investor receives a loan pool participation certificate
reflecting this interest.
 
     The purchased loan pools consist, for the most part, of loans evidenced by
promissory notes and secured by either personal property or real property. The
value of the collateral may range from nominal to substantial and often may be
impossible to establish prior to acquisition of the pools with the level of
certainty that is typically required in a financial institution.
 
     Upon the acquisition of a participation interest in a loan pool, the
Company assumes the risk that the Servicer will be unable to recover an amount
equal to the purchase price plus the carrying costs, if any, collection costs
and expected profits on such accounts. The extent of such risk is dependent on a
number of factors, including the Servicer's ability to locate the debtors, the
debtors' financial condition, the possibility that a debtor may file for
protection under applicable bankruptcy laws, the Servicer's ability to locate
the collateral, if any, for the loan and to obtain possession of such
collateral, the value of such collateral, and the length of time it takes to
realize the ultimate recovery either through collection procedures or through a
resale of the loans following a restructure.
 
     Loan pool participations are shown on the Company's balance sheet as a
separate asset category. The original carrying value of loan pool participations
represents the discounted price paid by the Company to acquire its participation
interests in various loan pools purchased by the Servicer. The Company's
investment balance is reduced as the Servicer collects principal payments on the
loans and remits the proportionate share of such payments to the Company.
 
     A cost "basis" is assigned to each individual loan acquired on a cents per
dollar (discounted price) based on the Servicer's assessment of the recovery
potential of each such loan. This methodology assigns a higher basis to
performing loans with greater potential collectibility and a lower basis to
those loans identified as having little or no collectibility.
 
     The investment in loan pools is accounted for on a nonaccrual (or cash)
basis in one of three methods, depending on the circumstances. First, if a
borrower makes regular payments on a loan, the payment received is first applied
to interest income in the amount of interest due at the contract rate. Further
payments are applied to principal in a ratio reflecting the proportion of cost
basis to loan principal amount. Payments in excess of interest and this ratio
are recorded as discount income. Discount income earned over the life of a loan
represents loan principal collected in excess of the price originally paid to
acquire the loan from the FDIC, the RTC, or any other sellers, which price
constitutes the cost "basis" of the loan.
 
     Secondly, if the borrower fails to make regular payments, the Servicer
evaluates the collateral supporting the loan. If the Servicer determines that
the loan is well secured, then payments are applied as previously described. If
the Servicer determines that the collateral is deficient, payments are applied
to the principal balance of the loan with no recognition of interest due. The
cost recovery method governs the application of payments received to the
outstanding principal balance. Under this method, any amount received is
initially applied to the cost "basis" of the loan and any additional amounts
received are recognized as discount income.
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   6
 
     Third, where the Servicer negotiates a settlement of a loan for a lump sum,
the payment is first applied to principal to the extent of the assigned cost
"basis" with the excess treated as discount income up to the original principal
value of the loan, and any remainder is treated as interest income on loan pool
participations. In each case, where changed circumstances or new information
lead the Servicer to believe that collection of the note or recovery of the
basis through collateral would be less than originally determined, the cost
basis assigned to the loan is written down or written off through a charge
against discount income.
 
     Collection expenses incurred by the Servicer are netted against discount
income. Discount income is added to interest income and reflected as one amount
on the Company's consolidated statement of income. Profit (or loss) from
collection activities is determined on a monthly basis for each servicing
corporation from which loan pool participation interests have been purchased.
 
     The Company does not recognize as income any accrued interest receivable on
the loan pools. Interest income is only recognized when collected and actually
remitted to the Company by the Servicer. Many of the pools that have been
purchased by the Servicer do not include purchased interest in the cost basis;
thus, interest collected does not have a cost basis and represents profit.
Interest income collected by the Servicer is reflected in the Company's
financial statements as interest income included as part of interest income and
discount on loan pool participations.
 
     The Servicer provides the Company with monthly reports detailing
collections of principal and interest, face value of loans collected and those
written off, actual operating expenses incurred, remaining asset balances (both
in terms of cost basis and principal amount of loans), a comparison of actual
collections and expenses with target collections and budgeted expenses, and
summaries of remaining collection targets. Monthly meetings are held between the
Company and representatives of the Servicer to review collection efforts and
results, to discuss future plans of action, and to discuss potential
opportunities. Additionally, the Company's and the Servicer's personnel
communicate via telephone and telecopy on a regular basis to discuss various
issues regarding the loan pools. Company management personnel visit the
Servicer's operation in Omaha, Nebraska on a regular basis; and the Company's
internal auditor has performed audit procedures in recent years.
 
     The Servicer is reimbursed for costs incurred to collect loan principal and
interest, which are netted against loan principal and interest collections.
These costs include salary and benefits paid by the Servicer to its employees,
legal fees, and other overhead expenses. Each loan pool investment is tracked on
an individual basis with the Servicer receiving a "Servicing Fee" of up to
twenty-five percent of net interest collected based on the percentage of net
loan principal collections to the original investment amount. Once the original
investment amount has been fully recovered, the Servicer is no longer entitled
to the Servicing Fee. In lieu of the Servicing Fee, the Servicer receives a
"Bonus Fee" of ten percent of all subsequent net collections and receives a
twenty-five percent participation interest in the individual pool and shares
proportionally in all future collections, net of costs and Bonus Fees.
 
     The Company's overall cost basis in its loan pool participations represents
a deep discount from the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans
underlying the pools. For example, as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, such cost
basis was $50,687,000 and $45,318,000, respectively, while the contractual
outstanding principal amounts of the underlying loans as of such dates were
approximately $99,888,000 and $87,976,000, respectively. Because this discounted
cost basis inherently reflects the assessed collectibility of the underlying
loans and thus creates a built-in reserve against the risk of nonpayment in the
loan pools, the Company is not required to establish any allowance for loan
losses relating to the loan pool participations. The Company does not include
any amounts related to the loan pool participations in its totals of
nonperforming loans.
 
     The underlying loans in the loan pool participations include both fixed
rate and variable rate instruments, but are accounted for on a nonaccrual basis,
and no amounts for interest due are reflected in the carrying value of the loan
pool participations. Based on historical experience, the average period of
collectibility for loans underlying the Company's loan pool participations, many
of which have exceeded contractual maturity dates, is approximately three to
five years. Management has reviewed the recoverability of the underlying loans
and
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   7
 
believes that the carrying value does not exceed the net realizable value of its
investment in loan pool participations.
 
D. COMPETITION
 
     The Company competes in the commercial banking and thrift industries
through its subsidiaries, the Bank and the Thrift. These industries are highly
competitive, and both the Bank and Thrift face strong direct competition for
deposits, loans, and other financial-related services. The Bank and the Thrift
compete in Mahaska, Wapello, Keokuk, Iowa, and Jefferson counties in south
central Iowa with other commercial banks, other thrifts, credit unions,
stockbrokers, finance divisions of auto and farm equipment companies,
agricultural suppliers, and other agricultural-related lenders. Some of these
competitors are local, while others are statewide or nationwide. The Bank and
the Thrift compete for deposits principally by offering depositors a wide
variety of deposit programs, convenient office locations, hours and other
services, and for loan originations primarily through interest rates and loan
fees they charge, the efficiency and quality of services they provide to
borrowers and the variety of their loan products. Some of the financial
institutions and financial service organizations with which the Bank and the
Thrift compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as that imposed
on bank and thrift holding companies, federally insured Iowa-chartered banks,
and federal savings banks. As a result, such competitors have advantages over
the Bank and the Thrift in providing certain services. As of December 31, 1996,
approximately twenty commercial banks, three thrifts, and seven credit unions
operated within a 25-mile radius of Oskaloosa, and new competitors may develop
that are substantially larger and have significantly greater resources than
either the Bank or the Thrift. Currently, major competitors in certain of the
Company's markets include banking subsidiaries of Norwest Corporation, Firstar
Corporation of Iowa, Mercantile Bank, and Boatmen's Banchares (soon to be
NationsBank). As a result of recently passed federal legislation to allow
unlimited interstate branching, the Company may experience heightened
competition from these and other major financial institutions seeking to expand
their regional banking presence in Iowa.
 
     The Company also faces competition with respect to its investments in loan
pool participations. The Company's financial success to date is largely
attributable to the Servicer's ability to determine the loan pools to bid on and
ultimately purchase, the availability of assets to fund the purchases and the
Servicer's ability to collect on the underlying assets. Investments in loan
pools have become increasingly popular in recent years, leading financial
institutions and other competitors to become active at loan pool auctions
conducted by the FDIC and other sellers. There is no assurance that the Company,
through the Servicer, will be able to bid successfully in the future. Certain
existing competitors of the Company are substantially larger and have
significantly greater financial resources than the Company. Increased
participation by new institutions or other investors may also create increased
buying interest which could also result in higher bid prices for the type of
loan pools considered for investment by the Company. In addition, new and
existing competitors may develop due diligence procedures comparable to the
Servicer's procedures. The emergence of such competition could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business and financial results.
 
E. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
 
     Bank holding companies, banks, savings and loan holding companies, and
savings and loan associations are extensively regulated under federal and state
law. References under this heading to applicable statutes or regulations are
brief summaries of the portions thereof which do not purport to be complete and
which are qualified in their entirety by reference to those statutes and
regulations. Any change in applicable laws or regulation may have a material
adverse effect on the business of the Company, the Bank, and the Thrift.
 
     The Company, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "Act") and is registered with the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under the Act, the Company is
prohibited, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership
or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a
bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and
controlling banks or furnishing services to affiliated banks, except that the
Company may engage in and own shares of companies engaged in certain businesses
found by the Board of Governors to be so closely related to banking "as to be
proper incident thereto," such as owning a
 
                                        5

savings association. The Act does not place territorial restrictions on the
activities of bank-related subsidiaries of bank holding companies. The Company
is required by the Act to file periodic reports of its operations with the Board
of Governors and is subject to examination by the Board of Governors. Under the
Act and Federal Reserve Board regulations, the Company and the Bank are
prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with an
extension of credit, lease, sale of property, or furnishing of services.
 
     Iowa law permits bank holding companies domiciled in Iowa to make
acquisitions throughout the state. Iowa law also permits bank holding companies
located in the Midwestern Region (defined to include Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin) to acquire banks or bank
holding companies located in Iowa subject to approval by the Iowa Division of
Banking and subject to certain statutory limitations. In addition, the Company
may acquire banks or bank holding companies located in the Midwestern Region or
outside the Midwestern Region, provided the Company's principal place of
business remains in the Midwestern Region and the acquisition is authorized by
the laws of the state in which the acquisition is to be made.
 
     As a savings and loan holding company, the Company is subject to federal
regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"). The
OTS has enforcement authority over the Company. This authority permits the OTS
to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to
the subsidiary savings association. Generally, the activities for a bank holding
company are more limited than the authorized activities for a savings and loan
holding company.
 
     The Company and its subsidiaries are affiliates within the meaning of the
Federal Reserve Act and OTS regulations. As affiliates, they are subject to
certain restrictions on loans by a an affiliated bank or thrift (collectively
"affiliated banks") to the Company, other affiliated banks or such other
subsidiaries, on investments by an affiliated bank in their stock or securities
and on an affiliated bank taking such stock and securities as collateral for
loans to any borrower. The Company is also subject to certain restrictions with
respect to direct issuance, flotation, underwriting, public sale or distribution
of certain securities.
 
     Under Iowa law, the Bank is subject to supervision and examination by the
Iowa Division of Banking. As an affiliate of the Bank, the Company is also
subject to examination by the Iowa Division of Banking.
 
     The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Bank is, therefore, also subject to the
supervision and examination by the FDIC. The Bank is required to maintain
certain minimum capital ratios established by these regulators.
 
     In addition, Iowa state law imposes restrictions on the operations of the
Bank including limitations on the amount the bank can lend to a single borrower
and limitations on the nature and amount of securities in which it may invest.
Among other things, Iowa law imposes restrictions on certain types of loans made
by the Bank, limiting the bank from making loans (or purchasing participation
interests in loan pools) secured by real estate located outside Iowa and its
contiguous states in amounts exceeding 25% of its regulatory capital. There can
be no assurance that the Iowa or federal regulators will not in the future
impose further restrictions or limits on the Company's loan pool activities.
 
     Iowa law strictly regulates the establishment of bank offices and thus may
affect the Company's future plans to establish additional offices of the Bank.
Under Iowa law, a state bank may not establish a bank office outside the
boundaries of the counties contiguous to or cornering upon the county in which
the principal place of business of the state bank is located. The number of
offices a state bank may establish in a particular municipality is also limited
depending upon the municipality's population.
 
     The Thrift is subject to the supervision of and is regularly examined by
the OTS and is assessed fees by the OTS based upon the thrift's total assets. As
a savings institution, the Thrift is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Des Moines, must maintain certain minimum capital ratios established by the OTS
and is required to meet a qualified thrift lender test (the "QTL") to avoid
certain restrictions upon its operations. The QTL was modified by the passage of
the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996. On December
31, 1996, the Thrift complied with the current minimum capital guidelines and
met the QTL test.

     OTS regulations permit federally chartered savings associations to branch
nationwide to the extent allowed by federal statute, enabling federal savings
associations with interstate networks to diversify their loan portfolios and
lines of business.
 
     The Company operates within a regulatory structure that continuously
evolves. In the last several years significant changes have occurred that affect
the Company.
 
     The FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 (the "FDICIA") was primarily designed to
recapitalize the FDIC's Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") and the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF"). To accomplish this purpose the FDIC was
granted additional borrowing authority, granted the power to levy emergency
special assessments on all insured depository institutions, granted the power to
change the BIF and SAIF rates on deposits on a semiannual basis, and directed to
draft regulations that provided for a "Risk-Based Assessment System" that was
implemented on January 1, 1994. The FDICIA also imposed additional regulatory
safety and soundness standards upon depository institutions and granted
additional authority to the FDIC. The FDICIA generally requires that all
institutions be examined by the FDIC annually. Under the provisions of the
FDICIA, all regulatory authorities are required to examine their regulatory
accounting standards and, to the extent possible, are required to conform to
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Finally, the FDICIA requires the
federal banking regulators to take prompt corrective action with respect to
depository institutions that fall below certain capital standards and prohibits
any depository institution from making any capital distribution that would cause
it to be undercapitalized.
 
     The Bank and the Thrift are assessed fees based on the institutions'
deposits by the FDIC, to insure the funds of customers on deposit with the
institutions. The deposits of the Bank (except those acquired from a failed
thrift) and the Thrift deposits acquired from Boatmen's are insured by the BIF.
The deposits of the Thrift and those Bank deposits acquired from the failed
thrift are insured by the SAIF. On August 8, 1995, the FDIC reduced the
assessment rate applicable to the Bank to $.04 per $100 of insured deposits.
This reduced assessment rate was retroactively effective to June 1, 1995. The
Bank and the Thrift continued to pay an insurance rate of $.23 per $100 of
deposits on their SAIF deposits through September 30, 1996. Upon the adoption of
the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996, the Bank and the Thrift were assessed a
one-time charge equal to $.675 per $100 of SAIF-insured deposits to recapitalize
the SAIF. Subsequent to this special assessment, all BIF and SAIF-insured
deposits will be assessed at an equal rate.
 
     Legislation became effective on September 30, 1995 which serves to lessen
or remove certain legal barriers to interstate banking and branching by
financial institutions. The legislation may result in an increase in the
nationwide consolidation activity occurring among financial institutions by
facilitating interstate bank operations and acquisitions. The legislation does,
however, allow states to "opt out" of interstate branching, and at this time it
is difficult to predict what effect this legislation might have on the Company.
 
     The earnings of the Company are affected by the policies of regulatory
authorities, including the Federal Reserve System. Federal Reserve System
monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of
banks and thrifts in the past and are expected to do so in the future. Because
of changing conditions in the economy and in the money markets as a result of
actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, interest rates, credit availability
and deposit levels may change due to circumstances beyond the control of the
Company. Future policies of the Federal Reserve System and other authorities
cannot be predicted, nor can their effect on future earnings be predicted.
 
F. EMPLOYEES
 
     On December 31, 1996, the Company had 99 full-time employees and 21
part-time employees of which 54 full-time and 16 part-time employees were
employed by the Bank and 32 full-time and 4 part-time employees were employed by
the Thrift. The Company provides its employees with a comprehensive program of
benefits, some of which are on a contributory basis, including comprehensive
medical and dental plans, life insurance, long-term and short-term disability
coverage, a 401(k) plan, and an employee stock ownership plan. None of the
employees are represented by unions. Management considers its relationship with
its employees to be excellent.

    interest of $90,000, $15,000, and $27,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
    respectively, which would have been accrued based on the original terms of
    these loans compared to the interest that was actually recorded. Interest
    earned on loans includes loan fees (which are not material in amount).
 
(2) Includes interest income and discount on loan pool participations.
 
(3) Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average total earning
    assets.

   AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL, CONTINUED
     The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in
interest income and interest expense of the Company's average earning assets and
average interest-bearing liabilities reported on a fully tax-equivalent basis
assuming a 34% tax rate. The table distinguishes between the changes related to
average outstanding balances (changes in volume holding the initial interest
rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in
average rate holding the initial outstanding balance constant). The change in
interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate
changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the
change in each.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
 
     The following table sets forth the scheduled repricing or maturity of the
Company's assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1996, based on the
assumptions described below. The effect of these assumptions is to quantify the
dollar amount of items that are interest rate-sensitive and can be repriced
within each of the periods specified. The table does not necessarily indicate
the impact of general interest rate movements on the Company's net interest
margin because the repricing of certain categories of assets and liabilities is
subject to competitive and other pressures beyond the Company's control. As a
result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as maturing or otherwise
repricing within a stated period may, in fact, mature or reprice at different
times and at different volumes.

     In the table above, NOW and Super NOW deposit account balances and savings
deposits are included as interest-bearing liabilities in the three months or
less, and over three months to one year, and one to three years categories in
accordance with the proposed revision to the banking regulatory authorities'
risk-based capital guidelines issued in August 1992. This results in the
distribution of 70% of NOW and Super NOW account balances to the less than one
year categories and the remaining 30% to the one to three years category.
Savings deposits are included 70% in the less than three year categories and the
remaining 30% in the three years or more category.
 
     Loan pool participations are included in the interest rate sensitivity
analysis using an estimated three-year average life. The historical average for
the return of original investment on the pools is approximately 36 months. Given
the non-performing aspect of the loan pool portfolio, management feels that the
use of contractual weighted-average maturity data in inappropriate.

shareholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular
action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken.  If the
stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the
determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the
date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the
resolution of the board of directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the
case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders.
When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination
shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

      Section 6.  Voting Lists.  The officer or agent having charge of the
stock transfer books for shares of the corporation shall make, at least ten
days before each meeting of shareholders,, a complete list of the shareholders
entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in
alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each,
which list, for a period of ten days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on
file at the registered office of the corporation and shall be subject to
inspection by any shareholder at any time during usual business hours.  Such
list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting
and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time
of the meeting.  The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence
as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books
or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

      Section 7. Quorum.  A majority of the outstanding shares of the
corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders, and





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

if a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares
represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be
the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number is required by
law or the articles of incorporation.  If less than a majority of the
outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so
represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented,
any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting
as originally notified.  The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting
may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

      Section 8. Proxies.  At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may
vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized
attorney in fact.  Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the
corporation before or at the time of the meeting.  No proxy shall be valid
after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided
in the proxy.

      Section 9. Voting of Shares.  Each outstanding share entitled to vote
shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting
of shareholders.

      Section 10.      Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.  Shares standing in
the name of another corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as
the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such
provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.

      Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be
voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares
into his name.  Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him,
either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares
held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name.

      Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver,
and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority so to do be
contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.

      A custodian of securities under the Iowa Uniform Gift to Minors Act may
vote a security which is custodial property.

      Section 11.      Informal Action by Shareholders.  Any action required to
be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be
taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if a
consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all
of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter
thereof.

      Section 1.       General Powers.  The business and affairs of the
corporation shall be managed by its board of directors.  The board of directors
may authorize any officer or officers, agent or agents, to enter into any
contract or execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of
the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific
instances.

      Section 2.       Number, Tenure and Qualifications.
The number of directors of the corporation shall be not less than
5 and not greater than 15, and, effective as of the annual meeting of
shareholders of the corporation in 1996, the Board of Directors shall be
divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II, and Class III.  Such
classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible.  The term of directors
of one class shall extend to each annual meeting of shareholders and in all
cases as to each director, until his successor shall be elected and shall
qualify, or until his earlier resignation, removal from office, death or
incapacity.  Additional directorships resulting from an increase in number of
directors  shall be apportioned among the classes as equally as possible.  The
initial term of office of directors of Class I shall extend to the annual
meeting of shareholders in 1997, that of Class II shall extend to the annual
meeting in 1998, and that of Class III shall extend to the annual meeting in
1999, and in all cases as to each director until his successor shall be elected
and shall qualify or until his earlier resignation, removal from office, death
or incapacity.  At each annual meeting of shareholders, the number of directors
equal to the number of directors of the class whose term extends to the time of
such meeting shall be elected to hold office until the third succeeding annual
meeting of shareholders after their election.  The Board of Directors may, upon
a majority vote of its members, increase or decrease the number of directors
within the limits set forth above.  Any vacancy occurring in the Board of
Directors and any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the
number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors.  Any
director elected to fill a vacancy other than by reason of an increase in the
number of directors shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her
predecessor in office.  Any director elected to fill a vacancy by reason of an
increase in the number of directors may continue in office only until the next
election of directors by the shareholders.

      Section 3. Place and Notice of Meetings.  A regular meeting of the board
of directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw immediately
after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the shareholders.  The
board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place, either
within or without the State of Iowa, for the holding of additional regular
meetings





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

without other notice than such resolution.  Special meetings of the board of
directors may be called by or at the request of the president or any two
directors.  The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the
board of directors may fix any place, either within or without the State of
Iowa, as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors
called by him or them.  Notice of any special meeting of the board of directors
shall be given at least two days previously thereto by written notice delivered
personally or mailed to each director at his business address, or by telegram.
If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the
United States mail so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid.  If notice be
given by telegram, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when the
telegram is delivered to the telegraph company.  Any director may waive notice
of any meeting.  The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for
the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened.  Neither the business to be
transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the board
of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such
meeting.  Members of the board of directors, or any committees designated by
the board, may participate in a meeting of such board or committee by
conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all
persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in
a meeting pursuant to this provision shall constitute presence in person at
such meeting.

      Section 4.       Quorum.  A majority of the total number of directors 
shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of
the board of directors, but if less than such majority is present at a meeting,
a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time
without further notice.

      Section 5.       Manner of Acting.  The act of the majority of the
directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of
the board of directors.

      Section 6.       Vacancies.  Any vacancy occurring in the board of
directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining
directors though less than a quorum of the board of directors.  A director
elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his
predecessor in office.  Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase
in the number of directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the remaining directors, at any regular or special meeting of the
board of directors called for that purpose in which a quorum of the board of
directors is present, and the director or directors so elected shall serve
until the next regular annual meeting of shareholders.

      Section 7.       Compensation.  By resolution of the board of directors, 
the directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting
of the board of directors, and may be paid such compensation for their services
as shall be fixed by the board of directors from time to time.  No payment
received by any director shall preclude him from serving the corporation in any
other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting

writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the
directors entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

      Section 10.      Committees.  The board of directors may designate from

person so removed.

have the power and authority in its sole discretion to grant Awards to Eligible
Employees pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Plan.

inconsistent with the Plan:

         (a)     to select Participants from among the Eligible Employees;





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

         (b)     to determine whether and to what extent Awards are to be
granted to Eligible Employees hereunder;

         (c)     to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by
each such Award granted hereunder, but in no case shall such number be in the
aggregate greater than that allowed under the Plan;

         (d)     to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted
hereunder (including, without limitation, (i) the restricted periods applicable
to Restricted Stock Unit Awards and (ii) the performance objectives and periods
applicable to Performance Stock Unit Awards);

         (e)     to waive compliance by a Participant with any obligation to be
performed by him or her under any Award and to waive any term or condition of
any such Award (provided, however, that no such waiver shall detrimentally
affect the rights of a Participant without such Participant's consent); and

         (f)     to determine the terms and conditions which shall govern all
written agreements evidencing the Awards.

         The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such
administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall,
from time to time, deem advisable; to interpret the provisions of the Plan and
the terms and conditions of any Award issued, expired, terminated, canceled or
surrendered under the Plan (and any agreements relating thereto); and to
otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

         All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan and as to the terms and conditions of any Award (and any agreements
relating thereto) shall be final and binding on all persons, including the
Company and the Participants.

SECTION 3.   NUMBER OF SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

         The total number of shares of Stock reserved and available for
issuance under the Plan shall be two hundred fifty thousand (250,000).  Such
shares of Stock may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued
shares of Stock or issued shares of Stock reacquired by the Company at any
time, as the Board may determine.

         To the extent that (a) a Stock Option expires or is otherwise
terminated, canceled or surrendered without being exercised (including, without
limitation, in connection with the grant of a replacement option) or (b) any
Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit Award granted hereunder
expires or is otherwise terminated or is canceled (prior to such date upon
which dividends or Dividend Equivalents (as defined in Section 7) are paid to
the Participant), the shares of Stock underlying such Stock Option or subject
to such Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit Award shall again
be available for issuance in connection with future





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

Awards under the Plan.  Upon the exercise of a Related Stock Appreciation Right
(as defined in Section 7 of the Plan), the Stock Option, or the part thereof to
which such Related Stock Appreciation Right is related, shall be deemed to have
been exercised for the purpose of the limitation on the number of shares of
Stock to be issued under the Plan, but only to the extent of the number of
shares of Stock in respect of which the Related Stock Appreciation Right was
exercised.

         The amount of Stock which may be issued under the Plan to any person
with respect to awards granted in any fiscal year shall not exceed an amount
representing or equal to 50,000 shares of Stock.

         In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation,
recapitalization, stock dividend, or other change in corporate structure or
capitalization affecting the Stock, the Committee in its sole discretion may
make an adjustment or substitution in the number and class of shares reserved
for issuance under the Plan, the number and class of shares set forth as the
annual maximum pursuant to this Section 3, the number and class of shares
covered by outstanding Awards and the option price per share of Stock Options
or the applicable price per share specified in Stock Appreciation Rights to
reflect the effect of such change in corporate structure or capitalization on
the Stock; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such
adjustment shall be eliminated; provided, further, however, that if by reason
of any such change in corporate structure or capitalization a Participant
holding a Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit Award shall be
entitled, subject to the terms and conditions of such Award, to additional or
different shares of any security, the issuance of such additional or different
shares shall thereupon be subject to all of the terms and conditions (including
restrictions and performance criteria) which were applicable to such Award
prior to such change in corporate structure or capitalization; and, provided,
further, however, that unless the Committee in its sole discretion determines
otherwise, any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class shall not affect, and
no such adjustment or substitution by reason thereof shall be made with respect
to, the number or class of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, the
number or class of shares covered by outstanding Awards or any option price or
applicable price.

SECTION 4.   ELIGIBILITY.

         Officers and other key employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries and
its Related Entities who are responsible for or contribute to the management,
growth or profitability of the business of the Company, its Subsidiaries or its
Related Entities shall be eligible to be granted Awards; provided, however,
with respect to an employee of a Related Entity, that such person was an
employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or, if originally an employee of the
Company or a Subsidiary, or another Related Entity immediately prior to
becoming employed by such Related Entity and accepted employment with such
Related Entity at the request of the Company or a Subsidiary.  The Participants
under the Plan shall be selected, from time to time, by the Committee, in its
sole discretion, from among those Eligible Employees.

SECTION 5.   STOCK OPTIONS.

         (a)     GRANT AND EXERCISE.  Stock Options may be granted either alone
or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan.  Any Stock Option
granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may, from time to
time, approve, and the terms and conditions of Stock Option Awards need not be
the same with respect to each Optionee.  Optionees shall enter into a Stock
Option agreement ("Stock Option Agreement") with the Company, in such form as
the Committee shall determine, which agreement shall set forth, among other
things, the option price of the option, the term of the option and conditions
regarding exercisability of the option granted thereunder.

                 (i)      NATURE OF OPTIONS.  The Committee shall have the
         authority to grant any Participant either Incentive Stock Options,
         Nonqualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options (in each
         case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights), except that the
         Committee shall not grant any Incentive Stock Options to an employee
         of a Related Entity.  Any Stock Option which does not qualify as an
         Incentive Stock Option, or the terms of which at the time of its grant
         provide that it shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option,
         shall constitute a Nonqualified Stock Option.

                 (ii)     EXERCISABILITY.  Subject to such terms and conditions
         as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at or
         after the time of grant, Stock Options shall be exercisable from time
         to time to the extent of 33% of the number of shares of Stock covered
         by the Stock Option on and after the first anniversary and before the
         second anniversary of the date of grant of the Stock Option, to the
         extent of 66% of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Stock
         Option on and after the second anniversary and before the third
         anniversary of the date of grant of the Stock Option and to the extent
         of 100% of the number of shares of Stock covered by the Stock Option
         on and after the third anniversary of the date of grant of the Stock
         Option and before the expiration of the stated term of the Stock
         Option (or to such lesser extent as the Committee in its sole
         discretion shall determine at the time of grant or to such greater
         extent as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine at or
         after the time of grant).

                 (iii)    METHOD OF EXERCISE.  Stock Options may be exercised
         by giving written notice of exercise delivered in person or by mail as
         required by the terms of any Stock Option Agreement at the Company's
         principal executive office, specifying the number of shares of Stock
         with respect to which the Stock Option is being exercised, accompanied
         by payment in full of the option price in cash or its equivalent as
         determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  If requested by
         the Committee, the Optionee shall deliver to the Company the Stock
         Option Agreement evidencing the Stock Option being exercised for
         notation thereon of such exercise and return thereafter of such
         agreement to the Optionee.  As determined by the Committee in its sole
         discretion at or after the time of grant, payment of the option price
         in full or in part may also be made in the form of shares of
         unrestricted Stock already owned by the Optionee (based on the Fair
         Market Value of the Stock on the





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7

         date the Stock Option is exercised); provided, however, that in the
         case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make payment of the
         option price in the form of already owned shares of Stock may be
         authorized only at the time of grant.  An Optionee shall generally
         have the rights to dividends or other rights of a shareholder with
         respect to shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option when the
         Optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for
         such shares of Stock, and, if requested, has made the representations
         described in Section 12(a) of the Plan.

         (b)     TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Stock Options granted under the Plan
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such
additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan,
as the Committee shall deem desirable.

                 (i)      OPTION PRICE. The option price per share of Stock
         purchasable under a Stock    Option shall be determined by the
         Committee at the time of grant, but shall be not less than 100% of the
         Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the grant; provided,
         however, that if any Participant owns or is deemed to own (by reason
         of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10%
         of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or
         any Subsidiary when an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such
         Participant, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option (to the
         extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be not less
         than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such
         Incentive Stock Option is granted.

                 (ii)     OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be
         fixed by the Committee at the time of grant, but no Stock Option shall
         be exercisable more than ten years after the date such Stock Option is
         granted; provided, however, that if any Participant owns or is deemed
         to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the
         Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of
         stock of the Company or any Subsidiary when an Incentive Stock Option
         is granted to such Participant, such Stock Option (to the extent
         required by the Code at time of grant) shall not be exercisable more
         than five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

                 (iii)    TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. No Stock Options shall be
         transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of
         descent and distribution and all Stock Options shall be exercisable,
         during the Optionee's lifetime, only by the Optionee.

                 (iv)     OPTION EXERCISE AFTER TERMINATION BY REASON OF
         DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. If an Optionee's employment with the
         Company, any Subsidiary or any Related Entity terminates by reason of
         Disability or Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Optionee may
         thereafter be exercised for a period of three years (or such shorter
         period as the Committee in its sole discretion shall specify at or
         after the time of grant) from the date of such termination or until
         the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever
         period is shorter, to the extent to which the Optionee would on the
         date of exercise have been entitled to exercise the Stock Option if
         such Optionee had continued to be employed by the





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

         Company, such Subsidiary or such Related Entity (or to such greater or
         lesser extent as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine
         at or after the time of grant).  In the event of a termination of
         employment by reason of Disability or Retirement, if an Incentive
         Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise period
         that applies for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock
         Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

                 (v)      OPTION EXERCISE AFTER TERMINATION BY CONSENT. If an
         Optionee's employment with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated
         by the Company or such Subsidiary under mutually satisfactory
         conditions or if an Optionee's employment with a Related Entity is
         terminated under conditions mutually satisfactory to such Related
         Entity and the Optionee, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may
         permit the Optionee to exercise any Stock Option held by such Optionee
         for a period of one year (or such shorter period as the Committee in
         its sole discretion shall specify at or after the time of grant) from
         the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated
         term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter, to the extent
         to which the Optionee would on the date of exercise have been entitled
         to exercise the Stock Option if such Optionee had continued to be
         employed by the Company, such Subsidiary or such Related Entity (or to
         such greater or lesser extent as the Committee in its sole discretion
         shall determine at or after the time of grant).  If an Optionee's
         employment with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated in
         connection with such Optionee's acceptance of employment, at the
         request of the Company or a Subsidiary, with a Related Entity (or an
         Optionee's employment with one Related Entity is terminated in
         connection with such Optionee's acceptance of employment, at the
         request of the Company or a Subsidiary, with another Related Entity),
         the Committee in its sole discretion may permit the Optionee to
         exercise any Stock Option held by such Optionee after the date of such
         termination at any time until the expiration of the stated term of
         such Stock Option (or such shorter period as the Committee in its sole
         discretion shall specify at or after the time of grant), to the extent
         that the Optionee would on the date of exercise have been entitled to
         exercise such Stock Option if such Optionee had continued to be
         employed by the Company or such Subsidiary (or such initial Related
         Entity), provided that the Optionee has been in continuous employ with
         the Related Entity to which such Optionee has moved from the date of
         acceptance of employment therewith until the date of exercise.  In the
         event of a termination of employment by the Company, any Subsidiary or
         any Related Entity under mutually satisfactory conditions, if an
         Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the
         exercise period that applies for purposes of Section 422 of the Code,
         such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock
         Option.

                 (vi)     OPTION EXERCISE AFTER TERMINATION BY DEATH. If (x) an
         Optionee's employment with the Company, any Subsidiary or any Related
         Entity terminates by reason of death; (y) an Optionee dies within the
         three year period (or such shorter period as the Committee shall have
         specified for exercise in accordance with Section 5(a) of the Plan)
         following termination by reason of Disability or Retirement as set
         forth in Section 5(a) of the Plan or (z) an Optionee dies within the
         one year period (or such shorter period as the





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9

         Committee shall have specified for exercise in accordance with Section
         5(a) of the Plan) following termination under mutually satisfactory
         conditions as set forth in the first sentence of Section 5(a) of the
         Plan, any Stock Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be
         exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee
         of the Optionee under the will of the Optionee for a period of one
         year (or such shorter period as the Committee in its sole discretion
         shall specify at or after the time of grant) from the date of such
         death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option,
         whichever period is shorter, to the extent to which the Optionee would
         on the date of exercise have been entitled to exercise the Stock
         Option if such Optionee had continued to be employed by the Company,
         such Subsidiary or such Related Entity (or to such greater or lesser
         extent as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine at or
         after the time of grant).

                 (vii)    RESTRICTION ON EXERCISE AFTER TERMINATION.
         Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, but subject to the
         provisions of Section 11 of the Plan, the exercise of any Stock Option
         after termination of employment shall be subject to satisfaction of
         the conditions precedent that the Optionee neither, (x) takes other
         employment or renders services to others without the written consent
         of the Company, nor (y) conducts himself in a manner adversely
         affecting the Company.

                 (viii)   OTHER TERMINATION.  Except as otherwise provided in
         this Section 5 or Section 11 of the Plan, or as determined by the
         Committee in its sole discretion, if an Optionee's employment with the
         Company, any Subsidiary or any Related Entity terminates, all Stock
         Options held by the Optionee will terminate.

                 (ix)     ANNUAL LIMIT ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. To the
         extent required for incentive stock option treatment under Section 422
         of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the
         date the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Stock
         with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan
         and all other option plans of the Company or any Subsidiary become
         exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year
         shall not exceed $100,000; provided, however, that if the aggregate
         Fair Market Value (so determined) of the shares of Stock covered by
         such options exceeds $100,000 during any year in which they become
         exercisable, such options with a Fair Market Value in excess of
         $100,000 will be Nonqualified Stock Options.

SECTION 6.   STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

         (a)     GRANT AND EXERCISE. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted
either in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the
Plan ("Related Stock Appreciation Rights) or alone ("Freestanding Stock
Appreciation Rights") and, in either case, in addition to other Awards granted
under the Plan.  Participants shall enter into a Stock Appreciation Rights
agreement with the Company if requested by the Committee, in such form as the
Committee shall determine.

                 (i)      TIME OF GRANT. Related Stock Appreciation Rights
         related to a Nonqualified Stock Option may be granted either at or
         after the time of the grant of such Nonqualified Stock Option.
         Related Stock Appreciation Rights related to an Incentive Stock Option
         may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock
         Option.  Freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted at any
         time.

                 (ii)     EXERCISABILITY. Related Stock Appreciation Rights
         shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that
         the Stock Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii) of the Plan and
         Freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable, subject
         to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee
         in its sole discretion at or after the time of grant, from time to
         time, to the extent that Stock Options are exercisable in accordance
         with the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii) of the Plan; provided,
         however, that any Stock Appreciation Right granted to a director or
         officer of the Company shall not be exercisable during the first six
         months from the date of grant of such Stock Appreciation Right, except
         that this additional limitation shall not apply in the event of death
         or Disability of the director or officer prior to the expiration of
         the six-month period.  A Related Stock Appreciation Right granted in
         connection with an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only if and
         when the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Incentive Stock
         Option exceeds the option price of such Stock Option.

                 (iii)    METHOD OF EXERCISE. Stock Appreciation Rights shall
         be exercised by a Participant by giving written notice of exercise
         delivered in person or by mail as required by the terms of any
         agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right at the Company's
         principal executive office, specifying the number of shares of Stock
         in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised.
         If requested by the Committee, the Participant shall deliver to the
         Company the agreement evidencing the Stock Appreciation Right being
         exercised and, in the case of a Related Stock Appreciation Right, the
         Stock Option Agreement evidencing any related Stock Option, for
         notation thereon of such exercise and return thereafter of such
         agreements to the Participant.

                 (iv)     AMOUNT PAYABLE. Upon the exercise of a Related Stock
         Appreciation Right, an Optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount
         in cash or shares of Stock equal in value to the excess of the Fair
         Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over the
         option price per share specified in the related Stock Option,
         multiplied by the number of shares of Stock in respect of which the
         Related Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the
         Committee having in its sole discretion the right to determine the
         form of payment.

         Upon the exercise of a Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right, a
Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash or shares of Stock
equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on
the date of exercise over the price per share specified in the Freestanding
Stock Appreciation Right, which shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value of the Stock





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11

on the date of grant, multiplied by the number of shares of Stock in respect 
of which the Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, 
with the Committee having in its sole discretion the right to determine the 
form of payment.

         (b)     TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under
the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall
contain such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the terms of
the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.

                 (i)      TERM OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The term of a
         Related Stock Appreciation Right shall be the same as the term of the
         related Stock Option.  A Related Stock Appreciation Right or
         applicable portion thereof shall terminate and no longer be
         exercisable upon the exercise, termination, cancellation or surrender
         of the related Stock Option, except that, unless otherwise provided by
         the Committee in its sole discretion at or after the time of grant, a
         Related Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to less than the
         full number of shares of Stock covered a related Stock Option shall
         terminate and no longer be exercisable if and to the extent that the
         number of shares of Stock covered by the exercise, termination,
         cancellation or surrender of the related Stock Option exceeds the
         number of shares of Stock not covered by the Related Stock
         Appreciation Right.

         The term of each Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed
by the Committee, but no Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right shall be
exercisable more than ten years after the date such right is granted.

                 (ii)     TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.  Stock
         Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only when and to the extent
         that a Stock Option would be transferable under Section 5(b)(iii) of
         the Plan.

                 (iii)    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. In the event of the
         termination of employment of an Optionee holding a Related Stock
         Appreciation Right, such right shall be exercisable to the same extent
         that the related Stock Option is exercisable after such termination.

         In the event of the termination of employment of the holder of a
Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right, such right shall be exercisable to the
same extent that a Stock Option with the same terms and conditions as such
Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right would have been exercisable in the event
of the termination of employment of the holder of such Stock Option.

SECTION 7.  RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND PERFORMANCE STOCK UNITS.

         (a)     GRANT. Awards of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock
Units may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under
the Plan.  Each Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Stock Unit represents the
right to receive, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and any
agreements evidencing such Awards, one share of Stock.  If the Committee in its
sole discretion so determines at the time of grant, a Participant to whom a
Restricted Stock Unit Award





                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

or Performance Stock Unit Award has been granted may be credited with
an amount equivalent to all cash dividends ("Dividend Equivalents") that would
have been paid to the holder of such Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance
Stock Unit Award if one share of Stock for every Restricted Stock Unit or
Performance Stock Unit awarded had been issued to the holder on the date of
grant of such Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit Award.  The
Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of each Restricted Stock
Unit Award and Performance Stock Unit Award including, without limitation, the
number of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock Units to be covered by
such Award, the restricted period applicable to Restricted Stock Unit Awards
and the performance objectives applicable to Performance Stock Unit Awards. 
The Committee in its sole discretion may prescribe terms and conditions
applicable to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit Awards or Performance
Stock Unit Awards in addition to those provided in the Plan.  The Committee
shall establish such rules and guidelines governing the crediting of Dividend
Equivalents, including the timing, form of payment and payment contingencies of
Dividend Equivalents, as it may deem desirable.  The Committee in its sole
discretion may at any time accelerate the time at which the restrictions on all
or any part of a Restricted Stock Unit Award lapse or deem the performance
objectives with respect to all or any part of a Performance Stock Unit Award to
have been attained.  Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Performance Stock Unit
Awards shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution.  Shares of Stock shall be deliverable upon the
vesting of Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Performance Stock Unit Awards for
no consideration other than services rendered or, in the Committee's sole
discretion, the minimum amount of consideration other than services (such as
the par value per share of Stock) required to be received by the Company in
order to assure compliance with applicable state law, which amount shall not
exceed 10% of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Stock on the date of
issuance. Each such Award shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Award
agreement ("Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement") or Performance Stock Unit
Award agreement ("Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement").

         (b)     TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee in its sole discretion:

                 (i)      a breach of any term or condition provided in the
         Plan, the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement or the Performance
         Stock Unit Award Agreement or established by the Committee with
         respect to such Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit
         Award will cause a cancellation of the invested portion of such
         Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit Award (including
         any invested Dividend Equivalents credited in respect thereof) and the
         Participant shall not be entitled to receive any consideration in
         respect of such cancellation; and

                 (ii)     subject to Section 11 of the Plan, termination of
         such holder's employment with the Company, any Subsidiary or any
         Related Entity prior to the lapsing of the applicable restriction
         period or attainment of applicable performance objectives will cause a
         cancellation of the invested portion of such Restricted Stock Unit
         Award or Performance





                                      -12-
<PAGE>   13

         Stock Unit Award (including any Dividend Equivalents credited in
         respect thereof and the Participant shall not be entitled to receive
         any consideration in respect of such cancellation.

         (c)     COMPLETION OF RESTRICTION PERIOD AND ATTAINMENT OF PERFORMANCE
OBJECTIVES. To the extent that restrictions with respect to any Restricted
Stock Unit Award lapse or performance objectives with respect to any
Performance Stock Unit Award are attained and provided that other applicable
terms and conditions have then been satisfied:

                 (i)      such of the Restricted Stock Units or Performance
         Stock Units as to which restrictions have lapsed or performance
         objectives have been attained shall become vested and the Committee
         shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Participant a stock
         certificate representing a number of shares of Stock equal to such
         number of Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock Units, free of
         all restrictions, except as provided in Section 11 (a) of the Plan;
         and

                 (ii)     any Dividend Equivalents credited in respect of such
         Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock Units shall become vested
         to the extent that such Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock
         Units shall have become vested and the Committee shall cause such
         Dividend Equivalents to be delivered to the Participant.

         Any such Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit Award
(including any Dividend Equivalents credited in respect thereof) that shall not
have become vested at the end of the applicable restricted period or the period
given for the attainment of performance objectives shall expire, terminate and
be canceled and the Participant shall not thereafter have any rights with
respect to the Restricted Stock Units or Performance Stock Units (or any
Dividend Equivalents credited in respect thereto) covered thereby.

SECTION 8.  GRANT OF STOCK OPTIONS TO NON-AFFILIATED DIRECTORS.

         After the close of the applicable exchange on the date of the annual
meeting of shareholders of the Company next following a Non- affiliated
Director's initial full year of service as such on the Board or the Board of
Directors of a Subsidiary, and the date of any subsequent annual meeting of
shareholders of the Company when a Non-affiliated Director was serving as such
during the term immediately preceding such meeting of the Company shareholders,
or, in the case of a Subsidiary with a fiscal year different from the Company,
the entire fiscal year of such Subsidiary immediately preceding the year in
which such meeting of the Company's shareholders is held, each Non-affiliated
Director shall be granted an Award consisting of a Stock Option to purchase
such number of full shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the pre- tax profits,
if any, for the last full fiscal year of the Company divided by the Option
Price per share equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such
annual meeting date divided by the number of Non-affiliated Directors on the
Board and the Board of Directors of Subsidiaries eligible to receive Awards on
such date.  All such Stock Options shall be designated as Nonqualified Stock
Options.  Subject to Section II of the Plan, a Nonaffiliated Director must
serve continuously as a Non-affiliated Director of the Company for a period of
twelve





                                      -13-
<PAGE>   14

consecutive months from the date such Award is granted before he or she
can exercise any part of such Award.  Thereafter, on and after the first
anniversary of the date of granting the Award and before the second
anniversary, the Non-affiliated Director may exercise the Award with respect to
not more than 33% of the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, on and
after the second anniversary and before the third anniversary, the
Non-affiliated Director may exercise the Award with respect to not more than
66% of the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, and on and after the
third anniversary and before the expiration of the stated term of the Award,
which shall be ten years from the date of its granting, the Non-affiliated
Director may at any time or from time to time exercise the Award with respect
to all or any portion of the shares of Stock covered thereby.  If a
Non-affiliated Director's service with the Company terminates by reason of
permanent and total disability or retirement from active service as a director
of the Company, any Award held by such Non-affiliated Director may be exercised
for a period of three years from the date of such termination or until the
expiration of the Award, whichever is shorter, to the extent to which the
individual would on the date of exercise have been entitled to exercise the
Award if such individual had continued to serve as a Non-affiliated Director. 
If a Non-affiliated Director's service with the Company terminates by reason of
death or under mutually satisfactory conditions, or if a Non-affiliated
Director dies within the three-year period following termination by reason of
permanent and total disability or retirement from active service as a director
of the Company or within the one year period following termination under
mutually satisfactory conditions, any Award held by such Non- affiliated
Director may be exercised for a period of one year from the date of such
termination or post-termination death, as the case may be, or until the
expiration of the stated term of the Award, whichever is shorter, to the extent
to which the individual would on the date of exercise have been entitled to
exercise the Award if such individual had continued to serve as a
Non-affiliated Director.  All applicable provisions of the Plan not
inconsistent with this Section 8 shall apply to Awards granted to Nonaffiliated
Directors; provided, however, that the Committee may not exercise discretion
under any provision of the Plan with respect to Awards granted under this
Section 8 to the extent that such discretion is inconsistent with Rule 16b-3.

SECTION 9.   AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

         The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration, or discontinuation shall be made (a) which would impair the rights
of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant's
consent, or (b) which, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company
(but only where such approval is necessary to satisfy then-applicable
requirements of Rule 16b-3, any Federal tax law relating to Incentive Stock
Options or applicable state law), would:

                 (i)      modify the formula set forth in Section 8 (other than
         as may be required for compliance under applicable federal income tax 
         or  Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, laws 
         and regulations);

                 (ii)     except as provided in Section 3 of the Plan, increase 
         the total number of shares of Stock which may be issued under the Plan;





                                      -14-
<PAGE>   15


                 (iii)    except as provided in Section 3 of the Plan, decrease
         the option price of any Stock Option to less than 100% of the Fair
         Market Value on the date of the grant of the Option;

                 (iv)     change the class of employees or directors eligible 
         to participate in the Plan; or

                 (v)      extend (A) the period during which Stock Options may
         be granted or (B) the maximum period of any Award under Sections
         5(b)(ii) or 6(b)(i) of the Plan.

         Except as restricted herein with respect to Incentive Stock Options,
the Committee may amend or alter the terms and conditions of any Award
theretofore granted, and of any agreement evidencing such Award, prospectively
or retroactively, but no such amendment or alteration shall impair the rights
of any Participant under such Award or agreement without such Participant's
consent.

SECTION 10.  UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN.

         The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan.  With respect
to any payments not yet made and due to a Participant by the Company, nothing
contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater
than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

SECTION 11.  CHANGE IN CONTROL.

         The following acceleration and valuation provisions shall apply in the
event of a Change in Control notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan or
any provisions of any applicable agreement to the contrary:

         (a)     In the event of a Change in Control:

                 (i)      the restriction period applicable to any Restricted
         Stock Unit Award shall lapse, the performance objectives applicable to
         any Performance Stock Unit Award shall be deemed attained, and any
         other restrictions or conditions applicable to any Restricted Stock
         Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit Award shall be waived and the
         shares of Stock covered thereby and all unrestricted Dividend
         Equivalents credited in respect thereof shall be deemed fully vested;
         and

                 (ii)     any Participant holding an Award who is terminated by
         the Company or any Subsidiary for any reason within the two year
         period immediately following a Change in Control shall be permitted to
         exercise any Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right after such
         termination of employment at any time (x) within the three month
         period commencing on the later of the date of termination of his or
         her employment or the date on which such Award would first be
         exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Plan had such





                                      -15-
<PAGE>   16

         termination not occurred or (y) until the stated term of such Award,
         whichever period is shorter.

         (b)     For purposes of the Plan, "Change in Control" shall mean a
Change in Control of the Company, which shall be deemed to have occurred if:

                 (i)      any Person (as defined in this Section 11) is or
         becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined in this Section 11) of
         securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined
         voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities (unless the
         event causing the 20% threshold to be crossed is an acquisition of
         securities directly from the Company);

                 (ii)     during any period of two consecutive years beginning
         after December 31,1996, individuals who at the beginning of such
         period constitute the Board and any new director (other than a
         director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with
         the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (i), (iii) or
         (iv) of this Change in Control definition) whose election or
         nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
         of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the
         beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election
         was previously so approved cease for any reason to constitute a
         majority of the Board;

                 (iii)    the shareholders of the Company approve a merger or
         consolidation of the Company with any other corporation (other than a
         merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of
         the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
         represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into
         voting securities of the entity surviving such merger or
         consolidation), in combination with voting securities of the Company
         or such surviving entity held by a trustee or other fiduciary pursuant
         to any employee benefit plan of the Company or such surviving entity
         or of any Subsidiary of the Company or such surviving entity, at least
         80% of the combined voting power of the securities of the Company or
         such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
         consolidation); or

                 (iv)     the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of
         complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for
         the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of
         the Company's assets.

         (c)     For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, "Person"
shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange
Act as supplemented by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act; provided, however,
that Person shall not include (i) the Company, any Subsidiary or any other
Person controlled by the Company, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary,
(iii) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the
Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of securities
of the Company, or (iv) any person who, as of December





                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17

31, 1996, was the beneficial owner (as defined in this Section 11) of
securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting
power.

         (d)     For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, a Person
shall be deemed the Beneficial Owner of any securities which such Person,
directly or indirectly, has the right to vote or dispose of or has "beneficial
ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of,
including pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or
not in writing); provided, however, that: (i) a Person shall not be deemed the
Beneficial Owner of any security as a result of an agreement, arrangement or
understanding to vote such security (x) arising solely from a revocable proxy
or consent given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made
pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Exchange Act and the applicable rules
and regulations thereunder or (y) made in connection with, or to otherwise
participate in, a proxy or consent solicitation made, or to be made, pursuant
to, and in accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and
the applicable rules and regulations thereunder; in either case described in
clause (x) or clause (y) above, whether or not such agreement, arrangement or
understanding is also then reportable by such Person on Schedule 13 under the
Exchange Act (or any comparable or successor report); and (ii) a Person engaged
in business as an underwriter of securities shall not be deemed to be the
Beneficial Owner of any securities acquired through such Person's participation
in good faith in a firm commitment underwriting until the expiration of forty
days after the date of such acquisition.

SECTION 12.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         (a)     The Committee may require each Optionee purchasing shares of
Stock pursuant to a Stock Option to represent to and agree with the Company in
writing that such Optionee is acquiring the shares of Stock without a view to
distribution thereof.

         All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan and, to
the extent applicable, all evidences of ownership with respect to Dividend
Equivalents delivered under the Plan, shall be subject to such stock-transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the
rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed or quotation
system on which the Stock is admitted for trading and any applicable federal or
state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put
on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

         (b)     Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from
adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder
approval if such approval is required, and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.  The adoption of the
Plan shall not confer upon any employee of the Company, any Subsidiary or any
Related Entity any right to continued employment with the Company, any
Subsidiary or any Related Entity, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in
any way with the right of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Related Entity to
terminate the employment of any of its employees at any time.





                                      -17-
<PAGE>   18


         (c)     Each Participant shall be deemed to have been granted an Award
on the date the Committee took action to grant such Award under the Plan or
such later date as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine at the
time such grant is authorized.

         (d)     Unless the Committee otherwise determines, each Participant
shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes
includable in the gross income of the Participant for federal income tax
purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Committee regarding payment of, any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to the Award.  The obligations of
the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements
and the Company (and, where applicable, its Subsidiaries and its Related
Entities) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any
such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.  A
Participant (other than a Non-affiliated Director) may elect to have such tax
withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the
Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued upon the exercise of a
Stock Option or upon the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit Award or
Performance Stock Unit Award a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair
Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due, or (ii)
transferring to the Company shares of Stock owned by the Participant with an
aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due.
With respect to any Participant who is a director or officer, the following
additional restrictions shall apply:

                 (i)      the election to satisfy tax withholding obligations
         relating to the exercise of a Stock Option or to the vesting of a
         Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit Award in the
         manner permitted by this subsection (d) shall be made either (x)
         during the period beginning on the third business day following the
         date of release of quarterly or annual summary statements of sales and
         earnings and ending on the twelfth business day following such date,
         or (y) at least six months prior to the date on which the amount of
         tax to be withheld upon the exercise of such Stock Option or the
         vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit Award or Performance Stock Unit
         Award is determinable;

                 (ii)     such election shall be irrevocable;

                 (iii)    such election shall be subject to the consent or 
         disapproval of the Committee; and

                 (iv)     such election shall not be made within six months of 
         the date of the grant of such Award.

         (e)     No member of the Board or the Committee, nor any officer or
employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall
be personally liable for any action, failure to act, determination or
interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all
members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of
the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
fully indemnified and

protected by the Company in respect of any such action, failure to act,
determination or interpretation.

         (f)     The Plan is intended to satisfy the applicable conditions of
Rule 16b-3, and all interpretations of the Plan shall, to the extent permitted
by law, regulations and rulings, be made in a manner consistent with and so as
to satisfy the conditions of Rule 16b-3.  The phrase "director or officer" as
used in the Plan means any director or officer who is subject to the provisions
of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  Any provision of the Plan or the
application of any provision of the Plan inconsistent with Rule 16b-3 shall be
inoperative and shall not affect the validity of the Plan.

         In interpreting and applying the provisions of the Plan, any Stock
Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the Plan shall to the
extent permitted by law, regulations and rulings be construed as, and any
ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of preserving its status as, an "incentive
stock option" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.  Once an Incentive
Stock Option has been granted, no action by the Committee that would cause such
Stock Option to lose its status under the Code as an "incentive stock option"
shall be effective as to such Incentive Stock Option unless taken at the
request of or with the consent of the Optionee.  Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary in the Plan or in any Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant
to the Plan, if any change in law or any regulation or ruling of the Internal
Revenue Service shall have the effect of disqualifying any Stock Option granted
under the Plan which is intended to be an "incentive stock option" within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code, the Stock Option granted shall nevertheless
continue to be outstanding as and shall be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock
Option under the Plan.

SECTION 13. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

         The Plan shall be effective as of February 22, 1996 by action of the
Board of Directors conditioned on and subject to approval of the Plan by the
vote of the shareholders of the Company holding a majority of the shares of
Stock of the Company present in person or by proxy at a duly held meeting of
shareholders.

SECTION 14. TERM OF PLAN.

         No Award shall be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth
anniversary of the effective date of the Plan; provided, however, that
Awards granted prior to such tenth anniversary may extend beyond that date.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

MAHASKA INVESTMENT COMPANY (THE "COMPANY") RECORDED NET INCOME OF $4,494,000,
OR $2.00 PER SHARE, FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, which is an increase
of 14.6 percent compared with the net income of $3,923,000, or $1.72 per share,
earned in 1995. The net income for 1995 increased 41.1 percent from the
$2,780,000, or $1.65 per share, earned in 1994.

     The Company's total assets increased 22.8 percent in 1996 compared to 1995.
Much of this growth was attributable to Central Valley Bank's ("CVB")
acquisition of a bank office in June 1996. Through this acquisition the Company
acquired approximately $14,645,000 in loans and approximately $32,083,000 in
deposits. Both Mahaska State Bank ("MSB") and CVB experienced loan and deposit
growth in 1996. Exclusive of the bank office acquisition, the Company's total
assets as of December 31, 1996, had increased approximately $9.4 million, or 4.6
percent, from the year-end 1995 total. Deposit growth in 1996 was approximately
8.3 percent without the bank office acquisition. During 1995, the Company's
total assets grew 9.8 percent from 1994 while deposits increased 10.3 percent.

     Return on average assets was 1.93 percent in 1996, 2.04 percent in 1995,
and 1.68 percent in 1994. The Company's return on average equity has shown an
increase during each of the last three years and was 13.52 percent in 1996,
12.67 percent in 1995, and 12.45 percent in 1994.

</TABLE>


INVESTMENT IN LOAN POOLS The Company continued to experience increasing returns
on its investment in loan pool participations. Interest income and discount on
the loan pool participations increased 15.7 percent in 1996 to $9,097,000. For
the year 1995, interest income and discount from loan pool participations
increased 75.6 percent to $7,864,000 compared to $4,479,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1994.
     The average loan pool participation investment by the Company for 1996
was $50,105,000 compared with an average for 1995 of $45,582,000. During 1996
the Company invested $29,827,000 in loan pool participations with most of this
growth occurring in the second and third quarters of the year. New loan pool
investments made during 1995 totaled $12,468,000. Throughout 1996, loan pool
participation investments averaged 23.7 percent of earning assets while in 1995
they were 25.7 percent of average earning assets. The yield on loan pool
participation investments rose to 18.2 percent for 1996, compared with 17.3
percent in 1995.


NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1996,
increased 25.6 percent to $14,098,000. Net interest income for 1995 was
$11,227,000, an increase of 35.2 percent from $8,303,000 in 1994.
     Net interest income for 1996 increased $2,871,000 compared with 1995.
Total interest income increased by $4,302,000 in 1996, partially offset by a
$1,431,000 increase in total interest expense. Interest income on loans
increased by $2,428,000, and interest income and discount
collected on loan pool participations rose by $1,233,000 in 1996. Interest
income on taxable investment securities held as available for sale increased
by $690,000 in 1996 compared with 1995. Most of the increases in interest
income on earning

</TABLE>



assets were attributable to higher volumes of these assets during 1996 compared
to 1995. For 1996, interest expense on deposits increased by $1,108,000 and the
interest expense on borrowed funds grew by $323,000 reflecting increased levels
of deposits and borrowed funds over 1995. The Company's net interest margin
rose to 6.69 percent on a fully tax equivalent basis for 1996, up from 6.48
percent for 1995.
     The $2,924,000 increase in net interest income in 1995 was primarily
attributable to the increase in interest income and discount collected on loan
pool participations and to an increase in interest income on loans. An increase
of $2,424,000 in interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds partially
offset the additional interest income. Interest income and discount recovery on
loan pool participations increased $3,385,000 in 1995 as the pools acquired in
the latter part of 1994 began to show recoveries. Interest income on loans
increased $1,905,000 over 1994 as loan volumes grew in 1995. Interest expense on
deposits rose in 1995 compared to 1994 as the deposits acquired in the formation
of CVB were on the Company's books for the entire year. Additionally, the
Company's total deposits rose $15,028,000 from year-end 1994 to 1995 resulting
in higher interest expense. The Company's net interest margin increased to 6.48
percent for 1995 compared with 5.58 percent in 1994.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company recorded a provision for loan loss
expense of $987,000 for 1996 compared to a 1995 provision of $168,000 and a
1994 provision of $183,000. The increase in 1996 provision was primarily
attributable to problems in a line of credit managed by our commercial finance
subsidiary, MIC Leasing Co. ("Leasing"). This line was charged off prior to
year-end 1996. The decrease in the provision for 1995 compared to 1994
reflects a reduction in the net charge-offs in 1995.


OTHER INCOME Noninterest income increased $205,000 in 1996 compared with 1995.
An increase in service charge and fee income related to the bank office
acquisition contributed to the growth in noninterest income. Higher trust
income in 1996 also added to total noninterest income. The Company did
recognize a loss on the sale of some of its investment securities held as
available for sale during the year. These securities were sold to meet
liquidity needs.
     The Company's total other income decreased $156,000 in 1995 to $1,301,000
from the $1,457,000 recorded in 1994. The $199,000 decrease in data processing
income in 1995 was the primary reason for the decline in total other income.
This was caused by a reduction in the number of non-affiliated banks that
Mahaska State Bank provided data processing for in 1995. Service charge income
grew $76,000 in 1995 reflecting the additional accounts acquired in the
formation of CVB.

OTHER EXPENSE Noninterest expense increased 20 percent for the year 1996
compared to 1995. The additional operating expenses associated with the
operation of CVB's Fairfield grocery store branch and the expanded Sigourney
branch contributed significantly to the increase in noninterest expense. The
Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) one-time assessment which occurred on
September 30, 1996, resulted in a net increase in the Company's FDIC assessment
expense of approximately $69,000. The one-time assessment was offset by reduced
overall FDIC insurance costs for

MSB and CVB.  The Company incurred additional amortization expense on the
deposit premium paid for the acquisition of the bank branch.
     The formation of CVB was the primary factor in the 1995 operating expense
increase of $998,000 compared to 1994. Central Valley operations produced
increases in salary and benefits expense, occupancy expense, other operating
expense, and goodwill amortization expense. One area of significant expense
reduction in 1995 was in the FDIC assessment expense incurred by MSB. Mahaska
State Bank's premium cost decreased by $115,000 due to the overall reduction in
the assessment rate.


INCOME TAX EXPENSE The Company's income tax expense for the year 1996 increased
$398,000 (20 percent) compared with 1995 mainly due to the increase in before
tax earnings. Income tax expense for 1995 increased $642,000 when compared to
1994 primarily as a result of the overall increase in earnings. The Company's
consolidated income tax rate varies from the statutory rate
principally due to interest income from tax-exempt securities and loans. The
effective income tax rate as a percent of income before taxes was 34.7 percent
in 1996, 33.6 percent for 1995, and 32.6 percent for 1994.


CAPITAL RESOURCES Total shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1996, was
$34,243,000, which is an increase of $2,137,000 due to the retention of
earnings from the December 31, 1995, total of

                              CENTRAL VALLEY
                           DOUBLES IN ASSET SIZE

The June 1996 acquisition of the Boatmen's Bank office effectively doubled the
size of CVB. Total assets of CVB rose by $37.3 million on the date
it acquired the bank office in Sigourney. The acquisition produced an increase
in all interest income, interest expense, noninterest income,
and noninterest expense categories for the year 1996 in comparison with 1995.
The bank office acquisition provides CVB with a significantly expanded market
presence in Keokuk County.

$32,106,000. Shareholders' equity as a percentage of total assets was 13.6
percent on December 31, 1996, versus 15.6 percent on December 31, 1995. The
decrease in the percentage of shareholders'  equity to total assets reflects
the increase in total assets in 1996. During 1996 the Company repurchased
40,000 shares of its common stock, leaving 2,229,506 shares outstanding as of
year-end 1996.
     Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115. This accounting standard requires the
classification of investment securities based on the Company's intended holding
period. Accordingly, securities which the Company may sell at its discretion
prior to maturity are recorded at their fair market value. Additionally, the
aggregate unrealized net gains or losses, including the effects of income tax,
are recorded as a component of shareholders' equity. As of December 31, 1996,
aggregate unrealized losses totaled $40,000, while on December 31, 1995,
aggregate unrealized gains totaled $57,000.
     The Company's risk-based Tier 1 capital ratio was 15.4 percent as of
December 31, 1996, and the Total capital ratio was 16.2 percent. As of December
31, 1995, the Company's Tier 1 capital ratio was 19.8 percent, and the Total
capital ratio was 21.2 percent. Although these ratios declined in 1996 from
1995 due to the increased asset level,


                                    14
<PAGE>   4
they substantially exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements of 4.0 percent
for Tier 1 capital and 8.0 percent for Total capital. The Company's tier 1
leverage ratio, which measures capital excluding intangible assets, was 11.1
percent as of December 31, 1996, and 13.7 percent at December 31, 1995,
exceeding the regulatory minimum requirement range of 3.0 percent to 5.0
percent. Each of these capital calculations excludes unrealized gains or losses
on assets available for sale in accordance with Federal regulations.

     The debt-to-equity ratio of the Company was 24.8 percent at December 31,
1996, compared to 31.2 percent at the end of 1995. As of December 31, 1996, the
Company had borrowed $8,500,000 on a revolving line of credit from a major
commercial bank to fund loan pool participation investments and to provide
additional capital to CVB and Leasing. The Company entered into this
revolving line of credit agreement on January 31, 1996, with an amendment
to the agreement as of June 19, 1996. The agreement provides for a maximum
line of $17,000,000 and matures on June 19, 1997. The Company had no material
commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 1996.

     Mahaska Investment Company common stock closed on December 31, 1996 at a
bid price of $18.50 per share, representing 1.2 times the book value per share
of $15.36 on December 31, 1996. The year-end stock price represented a
price-to-1996-earnings multiple of 9.3 times.


LIQUIDITY Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow
requirements of depositors and borrowers. Liquidity management is conducted by
the Company on both a daily and long-term basis. The Company adjusts its
investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of expected
loan demand, projected loan sales, expected deposit flows, yields available on
interest-bearing deposits, and the objectives of its asset/liability management
program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in short-term U.S. Government
and agency securities, short-term state and political subdivision securities
and other investment securities.


     Liquid assets (including cash and federal funds sold) are maintained to
meet customer needs. The Company had liquid assets of $16,484,000 as of
December 31, 1996, compared with $20,821,000 as of December 31, 1995.
Investment securities classified as available for sale and securities and loans
maturing within one year totaled $93,316,000 and $78,265,000 as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. Assets maturing within one year, combined with
liquid assets, on December 31, 1996, were 45.7 percent and on December 31,
1995, were 61.9 percent of total deposits as of the same dates.

     The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, principal
repayments on loans, proceeds from the maturities and sales of investment
securities, principal recoveries on loan pool participations, and funds
provided by operations. While scheduled loan amortization and maturing
interest-bearing deposits are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit
flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the
general level of interest rates, and competition. Principal recoveries on loan
pool participations are also influenced by economic conditions and, to a lesser
extent, the interest rate environment. The Company utilizes particular sources
of funds based on comparative costs and availability.  The Company

generally manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit
base.

     Net cash provided by operations is another major source of liquidity. The
net cash provided by operating activities was $7,137,000 in 1996, $5,086,000 in
1995, and $3,248,0000 in 1994. This trend of strong cash from operations is
expected to continue into the foreseeable future.

     The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to
fund its loan commitments. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding
commitments to originate loans of $13,976,000 and had no commitments to sell
loans. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one year or
less as of December 31, 1996, totaled $64,480,000. Management believes that a
significant portion of these deposits will remain with the Company.

     The Company continues to seek acquisition opportunities that would
strengthen its presence in current and new market areas. There are currently no
pending acquisitions that would require the Company to secure capital from
public or private markets.


ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company's strategy with respect to
asset-liability management is to maximize net interest income while limiting
exposure to risks associated with volatile interest rates. This strategy is
implemented by MSB's and CVB's asset-liability committees which take action
based upon their analysis of expected changes in the balance sheet. A gap ratio
of 1.0 indicates a matched position, in which case interest rate movements will
not materially affect net interest income.

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company's gap ratio for assets and
liabilities maturing within three months and within one year were .90 and .69
respectively, meaning more liabilities than assets are scheduled to reprice
within these periods. This situation suggests that a decrease in market
interest rates may benefit net interest income and that an increase in interest
rates may negatively impact the Company. The gap position is largely the result
of classifying interest-bearing NOW accounts, money market accounts, and
savings accounts as short-term repriceable and the classification of loan pool
participations as having a three-year average life based on the historical
average for return of pool investment.


LOAN QUALITY  Total loans increased 36.7 percent during 1996 to a year-end
total of $118,045,000. Loans acquired with the bank office on June 24, 1996,
totaled $14,645,000. The remaining increase in loans from 1995 of $16,924,000
was mainly in the commercial and consumer categories. Exclusive of the bank
office acquisition, loans increased 19.6 percent in 1996 over the December 31,
1995 total of $86,476,000.

     Non-performing assets (including $12,000 in Other Real Estate) as of
December 31, 1996, totaled $2,102,000. As of December 31, 1995, non-performing
loans totaled $694,000. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was
1.79 percent for year-end 1996 compared to .81 percent in 1995. The increase in
non-performing loans was mainly due to timing situations that management
anticipates will be resolved in the near future with minimal or no loss to the
Company. Approximately one-half of the Company's nonaccrual loans are 90
percent government guaranteed against loss.

     The allowance for loan losses was $1,491,000 as of December 31, 1996, and
$1,001,000 as of year-end 1995. The allowance represented 1.27 percent of total
loans at December 31, 1996, and 1.17 percent of loans on December 31, 1995. The
allowance as a percentage of non-performing assets was 70.9 percent on December
31, 1996, and was 144.2 percent as of year-end 1995. Net loan charge-offs for
1996 totaled $668,000, or .63 percent of average loans, compared with 1995 net
charge-offs of $48,000, or .06 percent of average loans. As part of the
purchase transaction for Boatmen's, an additional $170,000 was added to the
allowance. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered by
management to be adequate to provide for estimated loan losses.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 requires that the
value of impaired loans be established by discounting the expected future cash
flows at the loan's effective interest rate or


                                       16



<PAGE>   6


by the current observable price. For foreclosed assets and collateral
dependent loans, the value may be based on the fair value of the collateral.
The Company implemented this Statement as of its effective date, January 1,
1995, and it did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position
or results of operation.


FUTURE PROSPECTS Inflation can have a significant effect on the operating
results of all industries. Management believes that inflation does not affect
the banking industry as much as it does other industries with a high proportion
of fixed assets and inventory. Inflation does, however, have an impact on the
growth of total assets and the need to maintain a proper level of equity
capital.

     Interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, but it is
difficult to assess the impact since neither the timing nor the magnitude of
changes in the various inflation indices coincides with changes in interest
rates. There is, of course, an impact on longer-term earning assets; however,
this effect continues to diminish as investment maturities are shortened and
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities shift from fixed-rate
long-term to rate-sensitive short-term.

     During 1996, the national inflation rate was very low at approximately
three percent. Interest rates remained relatively constant throughout the year.
Management of the Company believes that the 1997 rate of inflation will remain
consistent with 1996 and that interest rates in 1997 will hold relatively
stable or increase slightly. Given the Company's negative gap position (greater
amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing than interest-earning assets),
an increase in interest rates may reduce the Company's net interest margin
through the year 1997. Management continues to focus on improving the net
interest margin as one of its major goals for 1997.

     Much of the increases in interest income, interest expense, noninterest
income, and operating expenses experienced during 1996 were a result of the
acquisition of the bank office by Central Valley. In 1997, there will be
additional increases in income and expense attributable to the Sigourney branch
of Central Valley since the acquisition occurred in mid-year. Management
believes that there will be a substantial reduction in the amount of loan loss
provision expense in 1997 and that the one-time SAIF assessment will cause the
future FDIC insurance assessment to be significantly lower. The overall effect
to the Company on 1997 income is expected to be positive.

     Management will continue to explore opportunities to acquire additional
loan pool participation investments in 1997. Bids on pool participations during
the year will take into account the availability of funds to invest, the market
for such pools in terms of price and availability, and the potential return on
the pools relative to risk. Management may elect to sell small blocks of pool
loans in order to maximize the anticipated return on these loans.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995, AND 1994

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Mahaska Investment Company and
subsidiaries (the "Company") conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its
100 percent owned subsidiaries, Mahaska State Bank (the "Bank"), Central Valley
Bank (the "Thrift"), and MIC Leasing Co. ("Leasing"). All material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


BANK OFFICE ACQUISITION On June 21, 1996, the Thrift acquired the Sigourney,
Iowa bank office of Boatmen's Bank Iowa, N.A. (Boatmen's) and assumed
approximately $32.1 million in deposits and purchased certain loans totaling
approximately $14.6 million. Central Valley's existing branch facility in
Sigourney was consolidated into the newly acquired facility. A premium of
approximately $3.0 million was paid by Central Valley to acquire the deposits.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and, as such, did
not require any restatement of prior period financial statements.


NATURE OF OPERATIONS The Bank and the Thrift engage in retail and commercial
banking and related financial services, providing the usual products and
services such as deposits, commercial, real estate, and consumer loans, and
trust services. The Bank also provides data processing services to affiliated
and non-affiliated banks. Leasing provides equipment leasing and accounts
receivable financing.

     Since 1988, the Company, either directly or through the Bank or the
Thrift, has invested in loan pool participations that have been purchased by
certain non-affiliated independent service corporations (collectively, the
"Servicer") from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the
Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"), or other sources. These loan pool
investments are comprised of packages of loans previously made by financial     
institutions, which often include distressed or nonperforming loans, that have
been sold at prices reflecting varying discounts from the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the underlying loans depending on the credit quality of the
portfolio. The Servicer then proceeds to collect these loans from the borrowers.


EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share computations are based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding. The Company adopted a Stock Repurchase
Plan in April 1995. In accordance with this plan, 40,000, and 15,000 shares of
common stock were repurchased by the Company during 1996 and 1995,
respectively. In September 1994, the Company issued 805,000 shares of common
stock in an initial public offering. The average number of shares outstanding,
after considering the stock repurchase and the initial public offering, was
2,246,651, 2,277,944, and 1,686,821 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value estimates are made at a specific
point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could
result from offering the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument for sale at one time. Unless included in assets available for sale,
it is the Company's general practice and intent to hold its financial
instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sale activities.

     Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss
experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various
financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and
therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.

     Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best
available data, and an estimation method suitable for each category of
financial instruments.


CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS The Company is required to maintain certain daily
reserve balances on hand in accordance with federal banking regulations. The
average reserve balance maintained in accordance with such regulations for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $835,000, $778,000 and
$783,000, respectively.



                                       22

INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Company classifies its investment securities based on
the intended holding period. Securities which may be sold prior to maturity to
meet liquidity needs, to respond to market changes, or to adjust the Company's
asset-liability position are classified as available for sale. Securities held
principally for the purpose of near-term sales are classified as trading.
Securities which the Company intends to hold until maturity are classified as
held to maturity.

     Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value. The
aggregate unrealized gains or losses, net of the income tax effect, are
recorded as a component of shareholders' equity. Trading securities are
recorded at fair value with gains and losses, both realized and unrealized,
included in operations. Securities held to maturity are recorded at cost,
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

     Net gains or losses on the sales of securities are shown in the statements
of operations using the specific identification method.


LOANS Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned
discount and allowance for loan losses. Unearned discount on installment loans
is transferred to income over the term of the loan using the level-yield
method. Interest on all other loans is credited to income as earned based on
the principal amount outstanding.

     It is the Company's policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income
on any loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to
the timely collectibility of interest or principal. Nonaccrual loans are
returned to an accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial
position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as
to timely payment of principal or interest.


CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company originates real estate, consumer, and
commercial loans primarily in its southeast Iowa market area and adjacent
counties. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial
portion of its borrowers' ability to repay their loans is dependent upon
economic conditions in the Company's market area.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES  The allowance for loan losses is established through
a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the
allowance for loan losses when management believes collectibility of the
principal is unlikely.

     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate
by management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the
portfolio, past loan experience, current economic conditions, and other
relevant factors.


LOAN POOL PARTICIPATIONS   The Company has invested in participations in pools
of loans acquired from the FDIC, the RTC, and other sources at substantial
discounts. The pools, all acquired since 1988, consist of loans to borrowers
located throughout the United States.

     The Company carries its investment in the loan pools as a separate earning
asset on its balance sheet. Principal or interest restructures, write-downs, or
write-offs within the pools are not included in the Company's disclosures for
its loan portfolio.

     The loan pools are managed by the Servicer operating in Omaha, Nebraska,
the sole incentive of which is cash collection without regard to principal or
income allocation of the payment.

     The investment in loan pools is accounted for on a nonaccrual basis. For
loans receiving regular payments, cash is applied first to interest income for
interest due at the contract rate. Additional payment is then applied to
principal in a ratio of cost basis to loan face amount and to discount income
for the remainder.

     For loans where payments are received on an irregular basis, the Servicer
evaluates the collateral position of the loan and where well-secured, the
payments are applied as described above. When the loan is judged to be other
than well-secured, the payment is applied to principal and discount income with
no recognition of interest due.

     For loans where the circumstances or new information lead the Servicer to
believe that collection of the note or recovery through collateral is less than
originally determined, the cost basis assigned to the loan is written down or
off through a charge to discount income.


                                       23


<PAGE>   13


     For loans where the Servicer negotiates a settlement of the obligation for
a lump sum, the payment is applied first to principal, then to discount income
and last to interest due.


PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line or
accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of respective assets, which
range from 10 to 30 years for building and improvements and 3 to 10 years for
furniture and equipment.


EXCESS OF COST OVER UNDERLYING NET ASSETS The excess of cost over underlying
net assets of $6,795,000, $4,342,000  and $4,785,000 at December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively, is being amortized primarily using the straight-line
method over 15 years. Amortization expenses for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
$529,000, $443,000 and $218,000, respectively.


OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED Other real estate owned represents property acquired
through foreclosure or deeded to the subsidiary banks in lieu of foreclosure on
real estate mortgage loans on which the borrowers have defaulted as to payment
of principal and interest. Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of
the cost of acquisition or the asset's fair market value, less estimated costs
of disposition, and is included in other assets on the consolidated balance
sheets. Reductions in the balance of other real estate at the date of
acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Expenses incurred
subsequent to the acquisition of the property and any subsequent write-downs to
reflect current fair market value are charged as noninterest expense as
incurred. Gains or losses on the disposition of other real estate are
recognized in other income or expense in the period in which they are realized.

     Other real estate owned of $12,000 and $27,000 at December 31, 1996 and 
1995, respectively, was included in other assets and is valued at the lower
of cost or estimated fair market value as determined by management.


TRUST DEPARTMENT ASSETS Property held for customers in fiduciary or agency
capacities is not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of
condition, as such items are not assets of the Bank.


INCOME TAXES The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Federal
income taxes are allocated based on each entity computing its taxes on a
separate company basis. For state purposes, the Bank and the Thrift each file   
a franchise return and the remaining entities file a consolidated income tax
return.


STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold.


RECLASSIFICATIONS   Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year
consolidated financial statements in order to conform to current year
presentation.


USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. A significant estimate that is particularly
sensitive to change relates to the allowance for loan losses.


EFFECT OF NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS SFAS 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities," will be effective for the Company transactions occurring  after
December 31, 1996, and provides standards for accounting recognition or
derecognition of assets and liabilities. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 125
when required, and management believes adoption will not have a material effect
on the financial position and results of operation, nor will adoption require
additional capital resources.

The average balances of impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 were $1,349,000 and $833,000, respectively. The allowance for credit losses
related to impaired loans at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $206,000 and $10,000
respectively. Impaired loans of $1,533,000 and $671,000 were not subject to a
related allowance for credit losses at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
because of the net realizable value of loan collateral, guarantees and other
factors.

The effect of non-accrual and restructured loans on interest income for each
of the three years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was:

The recorded amount of cash due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with
banks approximates fair value.

     The estimated fair value of investment securities has been determined
using available quoted market prices.

     The estimated fair value of loans is net of an adjustment for credit risk.
For loans with floating interest rates, it is presumed that estimated fair
values generally approximate the recorded book


                                       27


<PAGE>   17

balances. Fixed rate loans were valued using a present value discounted
cash flow with a discount rate approximating the market rate for similar
assets.

     The recorded amount of the loan pools approximates fair value due to
the characteristics of the loan pools. Any additional value attained in the
loan pools over purchase cost is directly attributable to the expertise of
the Servicer to collect a higher percentage of the book value of loans in
the pools over the percentage paid.

     Deposit liabilities with no stated maturities have an estimated fair
value equal to the recorded balance. Deposits with stated maturities have been
valued using a present value discounted cash flow with a discount rate
approximating the current market for similar deposits. The fair value estimate
does not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided
by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the
market. The Company believes the value of these depositor relationships to
be significant.

     The recorded amount of the federal funds purchased and short-term
borrowings approximates fair value as a result of the short-term nature of
these instruments.

     The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements.

11  STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company has a stock incentive plan under which up to 450,000 shares of
common stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to options or other awards
which may be granted to officers, key employees, and certain non-affiliated
directors of the Company. The exercise price of each option equals the market
price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. The option's maximum term is
ten years, with vesting occurring at the rate of thirty-three percent at the
one-year anniversary of date of grant, sixty-six percent vesting on the
two-year  anniversary, and one hundred percent vesting on the three-year
anniversary of date of grant.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized
for its stock options in the financial statements. Had compensation cost for
the Company's stock incentive plan been determined consistent with FASB
Statement No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have
been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Pro forma .........    1.95   1.69
</TABLE>


The fair value of each option grant has been estimated using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for
grants in 1996 and 1995, respectively: dividend yield of 3.89 percent for both
years; expected volatility of 25 percent for both years; risk free interest
rates of 6.17 percent for 1996 and 5.47 percent for 1995; and expected lives of
7.5 years for both years.

12  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company maintains an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") covering
substantially all employees meeting minimum age and service requirements.
Contributions are determined by the board of directors of each subsidiary.
Contributions relating to the plan were $114,000, $104,000 and $86,000 for
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the ESOP
owned 252,610 and 348,838 shares of the Company's Common Stock, respectively.

     A 401(k) plan was adopted by the Company in 1994. The Company does not
make any contributions to this plan.

     The Company has also provided deferred compensation plans to certain
executive officers, which provide for a series of payments to be made after
retirement. The present value of the future payments is being accrued over
the respective employees' remaining active service periods. The total expense
related to these plans was $33,000, $24,000 and $36,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     The Company provides no material post-retirement benefits.

13  REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to various capital requirements administered by the
federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory -- and possible additional discretionary -- actions
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's
assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total capital and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December
31, 1996, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which
it is subject.

     The Company's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the
table.

14  DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The Company derives a substantial portion of its cash flow, including that
available for dividend payments to shareholders, from its bank subsidiary in
the form of dividends received. The Bank and Thrift are subject to certain
statutory and regulatory restrictions that affect dividend payments. Based on
minimum regulating guidelines as published by those regulators, the maximum
dividends which could be paid by the Bank to the Company at December 31, 1996
approximated $3,200,000.


15  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers,
which include commitments to extend credit. The Company's exposure to credit
loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitments to
extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for
on-balance sheet instruments.

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any conditions established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each 
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. As of December 31, 1996,
outstanding commitments to extend credit totaled approximately $13,976,000.
        
     Commitments under standby letters of credit outstanding aggregated
$809,000 and $198,000 as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
Company does not anticipate any losses as a result of these transactions.

     The Company is involved in various legal actions and proceedings arising
from the normal course of operations. Management believes, based on known facts
and the advice of legal counsel, that the ultimate liability, if any, not
covered by insurance, arising from all legal actions and proceedings will not
have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position of the
Company.

MAHASKA INVESTMENT COMPANY:


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mahaska
Investment Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mahaska
Investment Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
