</TABLE>

     The composition of loans in the loan portfolio shows
an increase in commercial and financial and a decrease in
all other categories at March 31, 1997. The bank is
making increased 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.

     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.

</TABLE>
     Included above are $636,672 of impaired loans
(.370%) in non-accrual status at March 31, 1997. In
addition, there are impaired loans of $267,879  (.156%)
which management has considered in the allowance for
credit losses.  The average balance of impaired loans
during the first three months of 1997 was $860,028.  The
impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of
$904,552 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 three months ended March 31,
1997.  As a percentage of total outstanding loans, the
non-performing assets increased .42%  to 1.11% at March
31, 1997, from .69% at December 31, 1996.

     The aggregate amount of non-performing assets was
approximately $1,910,000 and $1,207,000 at March 31,
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,
$27,629 of interest income would have been recorded for
the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Interest income
actually collected and recorded was $10,563.

     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 $5,968,269 during the three month
period ended March 31, 1997.  Non-interest bearing
deposits decreased $2,369,525 and interest bearing
deposits decreased $3,958,744. The decrease in non-
interest bearing deposits follows normal trends for the
first quarter of each year.  The company's market area
continues to be highly rate competitive.

     Loans decreased $2,996,536 during the three month
period ended March 31, 1997. The company did not
aggressively market new loans, due to the need for
liquidity and high funding cost.

     Investments increased $680,502 during the three
month period ended March 31, 1997.  The increase in
investments was used primarily to satisfy pledging
requirements for municipal deposits.


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 March 31, 1997, the
carrying value of debt securities maturing within one
year amounted to $6,989,055 or 12.42% of the total debt
securities portfolio.   Mid-Wisconsin also holds
$1,609,000 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 March 31, 1997, shareholders' equity increased
$319,976 to $26,044,607 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  $176,005 at December
31, 1996, and net unrealized losses were $30,540 at March
31, 1997.

     The primary capital to asset ratio was 10.24% as of
March 31, 1997, compared to 9.97% at December 31, 1996.
The company's risk-based capital ratio for Tier 1 (core)
amounted to 15.12% and total risk-based capital amounted
to 16.33%.  This compares to Tier 1 (core) capital of
14.47% and total risk-based capital of 15.66% at December
31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The company's consolidated net income for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, increased $22,920 or 2.845%
to $828,668 from $805,748 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. Net interest income decreased $82,227
during the three months ended March 31, 1997, over  the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  Pricing of loans and
deposits remains competitive in the market area.

     Return on average common stockholders' equity
amounted to 13.18% for the three months ended March 31,
1997; compared to 13.91% for the three months ended March
31, 1996.

     Return on average assets for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, amounted to 1.34%; compared to 1.34% for
the three months ended March 31, 1996.

     Net earnings per share amounted to  $ .44 per share
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to
$ .43 for the three months ended  March 31, 1996.  Cash
dividends paid were .15 per share in March 1997 and .13
per share in March 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 March 31, 1997, and $60,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996.  The allowance for credit
losses as a percentage of gross loans outstanding was
$2,030,991 or 1.18% of total loans on March 31, 1997,
compared to $1,835,591 or 1.10% of total loans on March
31, 1996.  Net charge-offs as a percentage of average
loans outstanding were .02% during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to .03% for the three months
ended March 31, 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
provided strong non-performing loan coverage, decreasing
to 115% at March 31, 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 March 31, 1997, to be
4.46%; compared to 4.82% for the three months ended March
31, 1996. Decreases in the average rate on earning assets
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 .23%
and the average rate on interest bearing liabilities
increased .19%.  Interest spread decreased  .42%.


NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income other than net security
transactions increased 11.26% to $426,525 during the
three months ended March 31, 1997, from $383,356 during
the three months ended March 31, 1996.  There were no
security gains or losses during the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to net security losses of
$24,999 during the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Fee income on deposit accounts has increased $6,436 to
$149,411 during the three months ended March 31, 1997,
from $142,975 during the three months ended March  31,
1996.  Other fee income increased $17,764, trust service
fees increased $16,567, insurance commissions decreased
$8,032, and other operating income increased $10,603.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expenses decreased .81% to $1,722,533
for the three months ended March 31, 1997,  from
$1,736,534 for the three months ended March  31, 1996.
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.
