</TABLE>

     The composition of loans in the loan portfolio shows an increase in all  
categories except lease financing at June 30, 1997.  The bank is continuing its
efforts to sell loans in the secondary market which will provide funds for 
liquidity needs and continue to provide service to customers in its market area.

     Mid-Wisconsin's process for monitoring loan quality includes monthly
analysis of delinquencies, non-performing  assets, and potential problem loans.
Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when they become contractually  past due
90 days or more as to interest or principal payments.  All interest accrued but 
not collected for loans (including applicable impaired loans) that are placed on
nonaccrual or charged off is reversed to interest income.  The interest on these
loans is accounted for on the cash basis until qualifying for return to accrual
status.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and 
interest amounts contractually due have been collected and there is reasonable
assurance that repayment will continue within a reasonable time frame.

     A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it is 
probable that the bank will not collect all amounts due in accordance with  the 
contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Impairment is based on discounted  
cash flows of expected future payments using the loan's initial effective 
interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral  
dependent.  Smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively  evaluated
for impairment include certain smaller balance commercial and agricultural 
loans, residential real estate loans, and credit card loans.
<PAGE>

     The company maintains generally high quality loans.  The following table
shows the amount of non-performing assets and other real estate owned as of the
dates indicated.

Total non-performing assets         $1,381       0.77%     $1,207      0.70%
</TABLE>

     Included above are $435,931 of impaired loans (.242%) in non-accrual
status at June 30, 1997. In addition, there are impaired loans of  $177,983
(.099%) which management has considered in the allowance for credit losses.
The  average balance of impaired loans during the first six months of  1997
was $807,852.  The impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of
$613,914 are based on fair value of the collateral of the loans as these
loans are collateral dependent.

     Total non-performing assets (loans  and  other real estate) increased
during the six months ended June 30, 1997.  As a percentage of total
outstanding loans, the non-performing assets increased .07% to .77% at
June 30, 1997, from .70% at December 31, 1996.

     The aggregate amount of non-performing assets was approximately $1,381,000
and $1,207,000 at June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, respectively.  
Non-performing assets are those which are either contractually past due 90  days
or more as to interest or principal payments, on a nonaccrual status, or the
terms of which have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of 
interest or principal.  If nonaccrual and renegotiated loans had been current
or not troubled, $53,812 of interest income would have been  recorded  for  the
six months ended June 30, 1997.  Interest income actually collected and recorded
was $50,840.

     Management is not aware of any additional loans that represent material
credits or of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as
to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

     On January 1, 1996, Mid-Wisconsin adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 122 (SFAS122), "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights".  The 
adoption of SFAS No. 122 did not have a significant impact on the Company's 
financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     Management is not aware of any known trends, events, or uncertainties
that will have or that are reasonably likely to have a  material effect on
the Company's liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

     Deposits decreased $3,065,788 during the six month period ended 
June 30, 1997.  Non-interest bearing deposits decreased $590,136 and interest
bearing deposits decreased $2,475,652.  The company's market area continues
to be highly rate competitive.  The Bank will be finalizing the acquisition
of two branches in September 1997 and will increase deposits by approximately
$20,000,000.

     Loans increased $5,266,510 during the six month period ended June 30, 1997.
The company became more aggressive in acquiring new loans.

     Investments increased $155,619 during the six month period ended June
30,  1997.   The company's policy is to provide funds for loans in the
communities it services, increases in the investment portfolio are made to
satisfy pledging requirements for municipal deposits and to provide higher
earnings than could be obtained from short term fed funds.


LIQUIDITY

     Mid-Wisconsin manages its liquidity to provide adequate  funds to support
borrowing requirements and deposit flow of its customers.  Management views
liquidity as the ability to raise cash at a reasonable cost or with a minimum
of loss and as a measure of balance sheet flexibility to react to marketplace,
regulatory and competitive changes.  The primary sources of Mid-Wisconsin's 
liquidity are marketable assets maturing within one year.  At June 30, 1997,
the carrying value of debt securities maturing within one year amounted to 
$4,913,561 or 8.826% of the total debt securities portfolio.  Mid-Wisconsin
also holds $1,648,514 in marketable equity securities.  Mid-Wisconsin attempts,
when possible, to match relative maturities of assets and liabilities, while 
maintaining the desired net interest margin.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of June 30, 1997, shareholders' equity increased $1,169,912 to
$26,894,543 from $25,724,631 at December 31, 1996.  This net increase is due to
retention of current year earnings and adjustments for unrealized gains or 
losses.  Net unrealized gains were $155,829 at June 30, 1997 and $176,005 at 
December 31, 1996.

     The primary capital to asset ratio was 10.28% as of June 30, 1997, compared
to 9.97% at December 31, 1996.  The company's risk-based capital ratio for 
Tier 1 (core) amounted to 14.97% and total risk-based capital amounted to 
16.14%.  This compares to Tier 1 (core) capital of 14.47% and total risk-based
capital of 15.66% at December 31, 1996.
<PAGE>


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The company's consolidated net income for the three months ended June
30, 1997, increased $116,326 or 14.065% to $943,372 from $827,046 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase included income of $241,039 resulting 
from the curtailment of the company's defined benefit pension plan which was 
paid out on June 30, 1997.  Net interest income decreased $96,350 during the 
three months ended June 30, 1997, over the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Pricing of loans and deposits remains competitive in the market area.

     Return on average common stockholders' equity amounted to 14.43% for the
three months ended June 30, 1997; compared to 13.68% for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.

     Return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 1997, amounted
to 1.51%; compared to 1.36% for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

     Net earnings per share amounted to $.50 per share for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997, compared to  $.44 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
Cash dividends paid were .15 per share in June 1997 and .13 per share in 
June 1996.


PROVISION FOR CREDIT  LOSSES

     Management determines the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses
based on past loan experience, current economic conditions, composition of the
loan portfolio, and the potential for future loss.  Accordingly, the amount 
charged to expense is based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio.
It is the Company's policy that when available information confirms  that  
specific loans and leases, or portions thereof, including impaired loans, are
uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the allowance.
The provision for credit losses was $30,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997, and $60,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The 
allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans outstanding was 
$2,045,352 or 1.14% of total loans on June 30, 1997, compared to $2,030,878  
or 1.16% of total loans on December 31, 1996.  Net charge-offs as a percentage
of average loans outstanding were .03% during the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 compared to .02% for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

     Non-performing loans are reviewed to determine  exposure for potential
loss within each loan category.  The adequacy of the allowance for credit
losses is assessed based on credit quality and other pertinent loan portfolio
information.  The reserve for credit losses continues to provide strong  
non-performing loan coverage, decreasing to 155% at June 30, 1997 from 189% at
December 31, 1996.   The adequacy of the reserve and the provision for credit
losses is consistent with the composition of the loan portfolio and recent 
credit quality history.


NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income is the most significant component in earnings. For
analysis purposes, interest earned on tax exempt assets is adjusted to a fully
taxable equivalent basis.

     The net yield on interest earning assets shows the yield for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997, to be  4.61%; compared to 4.90% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  Decreases in the average rate on earning assets along with
increases in the average rate on interest bearing liabilities contributed to the
decrease in net interest margin. The company is making an effort to increase
net interest margin through the strategic pricing of loans and deposits.
<PAGE.

     The average rate on earning assets decreased .13% and the average rate on
interest bearing liabilities increased .19%.  Interest spread decreased .32%.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income, other than net security transactions and income
from pension plan curtailment, increased 7.51% to $431,938 during the three
months ended June 30, 1997, from $401,754 during the three months ended
June 30, 1996.  Security gains were $14,369 during the three months ended
June 30, 1997 and security losses were $69,150 during the three months ended 
June 30, 1996.  Income from the curtailment of the defined benefit pension plan
was $241,039.  Fee income on deposit accounts increased $7,489 to $151,494  
during the three months ended June 30, 1997, from $144,005 during the three 
months ended June 30, 1996.  Other fee income increased $18,005, trust service
fees increased $25,739, insurance commissions decreased $12,646, and other 
operating income decreased $8,403.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expenses increased 7.916% to $1,849,147 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997, from $1,713,505 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
The increase in expenses is due in part to the start up costs associated with
the opening of the new branch office in Phillips, WI scheduled for 
August 4, 1997.  There are no expenses included in other expenses that exceed
1% of total interest and other income for either 1997 or 1996.  The Company is
expanding the use of technology throughout its banks in order to provide 
increased customer service and allow for more efficient consolidation of its 
operational areas.  Mid-Wisconsin has placed emphasis  on  increased 
productivity and standardization of programs and procedures throughout all of
its locations.


RETIREMENT PLANS

     The Company has terminated the defined benefit pension plan effective
January 1, 1997 and has established a new defined contribution pension plan 
effective January 1, 1997.  The final payout of the defined benefit pension 
plan occurred on June 30, 1997.
