NOTE 1 - GENERAL

      The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1998, and the
consolidated statements of income for the three month periods ended September
30, 1998 and 1997, and the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, have been prepared by the company without
audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and changes in financial position for the
unaudited interim period have been made.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes included in the Company's December 31, 1997, annual report
to the shareholders. The results of operations for the interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Note 3 - LOANS

      Loans outstanding increased 2.92% for the nine months ended September 30,
1998; increasing from $185,015,272 at December 31, 1997, to $190,423,624 at
September 30, 1998.

</TABLE>
      The composition of loans in the loan portfolio shows an increase in
commercial and financial and real estate loans at September 30, 1998. The bank
continues 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 is $572,028 of impaired loans (.300%) in non-accrual
status at September 30, 1998.  The average balance of impaired loans during the
first nine months of 1998 was $645,927.  The impaired loans with an aggregate
outstanding balance of  $572,028 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 September 30, 1998.  As a percentage of total
outstanding loans, the non-performing assets increased .37% to 1.13% at
September 30, 1998, from .76% at December 31, 1997.

      The aggregate amount of non-performing assets was approximately
$2,149,000 and $1,399,000 at September 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997,
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, $87,828 of interest income would have been
recorded for the three months ended September 30, 1998.  Interest income
actually collected and recorded was $49,853.

      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, 1997, 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.

      In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FASB 130), was issued and establishes
standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components.
FASB 130 requires comprehensive income and its components, as recognized under
the accounting standards, to be displayed in a financial statement with the
same prominence as other financial statements.  The disclosure requirements of
FASB 130 have been included in the corporation's consolidated statements of
shareholders' equity.
<PAGE>

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FASB 131), also issued in
June 1997, establishes new standards for reporting information about operating
segments in annual and interim financial statements.  The standard also
requires descriptive information about the way the operating segments are
determined, the products and services provided by the segments and the nature
of differences between reportable segment measurements and those used for the
consolidated enterprise.  This standard is effective for years beginning after
December 15, 1997.  Adoption in interim financial statements is not required
until the year after initial adoption, however comparative prior period
information is required.  FASB 131 will be adopted, as required, beginning with
year-end 1998.  The disclosure requirements will have no impact on the
corporation's financial position or results of operations.

      In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position
98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use" (SOP 98-1), which provides guidance as to when it is or is not
appropriate to capitalize the cost of software developed or obtained for
internal use.  The corporation elected early adoption of SOP 98-1. The effect
of the adoption was not material.

      In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FASB 133).  FASB 133 establishes new
accounting and reporting requirements for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging
activities.  The standard requires all derivatives to be measured at fair value
and recognized as either assets or liabilities in the statement of condition.
Under certain conditions, a derivative may be specifically designated as a
hedge.  Accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on
the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.  Adoption of
the standard is required for the corporation's December 31, 2000 financial
statements with early adoption allowed as of the beginning of any quarter after
June 30, 1998.  Management is in the process of assessing the impact and period
of adoption of the standard.  Adoption is not expected to result in a material
financial impact.

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

      Deposits decreased $14,730 during the nine-month period ended September
30, 1998.  Non-interest bearing deposits decreased $310,177 and interest-
bearing deposits increased $295,447. The company's market area continues to be
highly rate competitive.

      Loans increased $5,408,352 during the nine-month period ended September
30, 1998.

      Investments increased $2,765,089 during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998.  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 September 30,
1998, the carrying value of debt securities maturing within one year amounted
to $5,801,719 or 10.36% of the total debt securities portfolio.   Mid-Wisconsin
also holds $1,004.778 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 September 30, 1998, shareholders' equity increased $1,467,604 to
$29,334,761 from $27,867,157 at December 31, 1997.  This net increase is due to
retention of current year earnings and adjustments for unrealized gains or
losses.  Net unrealized gains were $514,488 at September 30, 1998, and $348,257
at December 31, 1997.

      The primary capital to asset ratio was 9.91% as of September 30, 1998,
compared to 9.62% at December 31, 1997.  The company's risk-based capital ratio
for Tier 1 (core) amounted to 13.92% and total risk-based capital amounted to
15.05%.  This compares to Tier 1 (core) capital of 13.83% and total risk-based
capital of 14.94% at December 31, 1997.

</TABLE>

      Comprehensive income for the second quarters of 1998 and 1997 was 
$780,125 and $1,129,741 respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The company's consolidated net income for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, decreased $104,764 or 11.43% to $811,619 from $916,383 for
the three months ended September 30, 1997.  Net interest income increased
$20,488  during the three months ended September 30, 1998, over the three
months ended September 30, 1997.

      Return on average common stockholders' equity amounted to 12.44% for the
three months ended September 30, 1998; compared to 14.41% for the three months
ended September 30, 1997.

      Return on average assets for the three months ended September 30, 1998,
amounted to 1.19%; compared to 1.45% for the three months ended September 30,
1997.

      Net earnings per share amounted to  $ .44 per share for the three months
ended September 30, 1998, compared to   $ .49 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997.  Cash dividends paid were $ .17 per share in September 1998
and $ .15 per share in September 1997.

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 $150,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, and $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997.
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans outstanding was
$2,132,529 or 1.12% of total loans on September 30, 1998, compared to
$1,990,090 or 1.08% of total loans on December 31, 1997.  Net charge-offs as a
percentage of average loans outstanding were .14% during the three months ended
September 30, 1998 and .02% during the three months ended September 30, 1997.

<PAGE>

      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 99.3% at September 30, 1998 from 142% at December 31,
1997.  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 September 30, 1998, to be 4.48%; compared to 4.76% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.  The average rate on earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities decreased slightly during the three months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997.  The
company continues efforts to increase net interest margin through the strategic
pricing of loans and deposits.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

      Non-interest income increased 15.78% to $520,032 during the three months
ended September 30, 1998, from $449,174 during the three months ended September
30, 1997.  Losses on securities available for sale during the three months
ended September 30, 1998 were $1,250.  There were no gains or losses on
securities during the three months ended September 30, 1997.  Fee income on
deposit accounts increased $27,300 to $186,775 during the three months ended
September 30, 1998, from $159,475 during the three months ended September 30,
1997.   Other fee income and fiduciary fees increased $20,531 to $232,442
during the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $211,911 during the three
months ended September 30, 1997.  Other operating income increased $28,492
during the three months ended September 30, 1998 over the three months ended
September 30, 1997.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

      Non-interest expenses increased 9.78% to $1,959,677 for the three months
ended September 30, 1998, from $1,785,138 for the three months ended September
30, 1997.  There are no expenses included in other expenses that exceed 1% of
total interest and other income for either 1998 or 1997. 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.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

      READINESS
      The Company's assessment of the possible consequences of Year 2000 issues
on the Company's business, results of operations, or financial condition is not
complete, but is continuing in accordance with the Company's Year 2000 Project
Plan (the "Year 2000 Plan").  The Year 2000 Plan is based on FFIEC Interagency
Statement on "Year 2000 Project Management Awareness" (FIL-50-97) dated May 9,
1997, and the FFIEC Interagency Guidance report on "Year 2000 Risk" (FIL-29-98)
dated March 18, 1998.  The Company's implementation of its Year 2000 Plan has
also relied upon additional FFIEC guidance in the form of "Year 2000 Testing
Guidance" (FIL-38-98) dated April 10, 1998, and "Year 2000 Contingency Planning
Guidance" (FIL-51-98) dated May 13, 1998.  For this purpose, "Year 2000 issues"
or "Year 2000 problems", or words of similar import, refer to the potential for
failure of computer applications as a result of the failure of a program to
properly recognize the year 2000.

      The Company's Year 2000 Plan has been split into five phases: awareness,
assessment, renovation, validation, and implementation.  Under the direction of
the Company's Director of Information Technology, the Company's Technology
Committee is monitoring Year 2000 issues and implementing the Year 2000 Plan.
The Technology Committee meets at least bi-monthly to review the status of Year
2000 issues as they relate to the Company and the Technology Committee reports
to the Board of Directors at each of its meetings with respect to each phase of
the Year 2000 Plan and the Company's progress against established goals.

      The initial assessment and inventory of all software, hardware,
interfaces, and other date sensitive systems was completed in September 1997.
The FDIC conducted year 2000 compliance audits in December 1997 and by an
independent third party in July 1998.

      The Company does not build or customize any software programs and must
rely on its vendors to test programs and ensure Year 2000 compliance.  All
vendors deemed "mission critical" by the Company have been contacted regarding
the Year 2000 compliance and have been informed that any programs not in
compliance by December 1998 will be replaced. Such vendors have submitted
letters stating that their software is or will be compliant within the
specified time frames.  The Company will continue to monitor vendor
certifications and take other steps, as deemed appropriate to address Year 2000
issues, including requesting vendor contract addenda regarding Year 2000
readiness, obtaining test scripts to test systems or test results from an
identical user, obtaining third party audit of vendor systems, and obtaining
analysis of vendor contingency plans.

      Inquiries have been made of the Company's key correspondent banks
requesting information on the status of their Year 2000 compliance.
Correspondent banks have submitted letters and information on an ongoing basis
regarding the steps being taken regarding Year 2000 readiness.
<PAGE>


      Surveys and letters were mailed to commercial customers in May 1998 to
inform them of the Company's status in regard to Year 2000 issues and to
determine the Year 2000 status of these customers.  Commercial customers with
loans exceeding a threshold level and any other customers deemed likely to have
Year 2000 related problems are in the process of being contacted individually
to determine what effect, if any, Year 2000 problems may have on their
indebtedness to the Company.  The Company has implemented an ongoing customer
education program regarding Year 2000 issues and posts Year 2000 information on
its web site at http://www.midwisc.com/year2000. The Company is continuing to
monitor the possible effect of Year 2000 issues on its customers.

      The Company has also reviewed its non-information technology systems, and
believes them to be Year 2000 compliant.

      COSTS
      Replacement of hardware and software which was identified as non-Year
2000 compliant began in early 1998.  New hardware and software is certified by
the manufacturer or vendor as Year 2000 compliant and the cost of such
equipment is capitalized over its useful life.  All other costs associated with
Year 2000 issues are being expensed as incurred and have come from the
information technology budget or other related department budgets and have not
caused a reduction in net income.  The estimated total cost of evaluation and
compliance with Year 2000 issues is not expected to be material.

      RISKS
      The Company does not believe that Year 2000 issues will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or financial
condition.  However, the risks to the Company associated with Year 2000 issues
are many.  The banking system in the United States is highly regulated and
interdependent.  The Company depends upon the Federal Reserve System and other
financial institutions to process a wide variety of financial transactions for
itself and its customers and as a source of credit.  To a large extent, the
Company is dependent upon the activities of the various federal bank regulatory
agencies and their efforts to make certain that the U.S. banking and payments
system, as a whole, is Year 2000 compliant.  While the Company believes that
such efforts will result in compliance by the banking system as a whole, it can
offer no assurance of that fact.  If the banking system as a whole or
correspondent banks with which the company has material relationships are not
Year 2000 compliant, the Company could suffer a material adverse affect.

      The Company also faces the risk that Year 2000 problems encountered by
its customers may result in significant losses to the Company as a result of
the inability to repay loans or as a result of reducing the nonloan portion of
its customers' banking business.  Approximately 56% of the Company's loan
portfolio is concentrated in real estate loans, but these loans represent a
diverse customer base.  Similarly, the Company's commercial and agricultural
loans represent approximately 17% and 19% respectively, of the loans
outstanding, but also represent a diverse customer base.

<PAGE>

      The insurance industry as a whole, and the Company's insurer in
particular, have indicated that they will not provide coverages for losses
related to Year 2000 issues.  Therefore, if such limitation is successfully
imposed by insurance companies, insurance coverage for any claims of business
interruption on the part of the Company or its customers or vendors, or claims
by or against the Company for failure to perform various contracts or business
agreements as a result of Year 2000 related problems may not be available.
However, while disruptions to the nationwide banking system are possible and
one or more individual customers or groups of customers may encounter
significant Year 2000 related problems, the Company does not believe these will
materially affect the Company.

      CONTIGENCY PLANS
      The Company has prepared a business impact analysis to identify critical
issues and contingency plans for continued operations in the event of failure
of one the its major systems.  These contingency plans and recovery are
similar, and in some cases, identical, to those in place for the Company's
overall business recovery plans that are or would be used in the event of any
type of disaster.
