                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - GENERAL

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly Mid-Wisconsin
Financial Services, Inc.'s ("Company") financial position, results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods presented, and all such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.  The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of all subsidiaries.  All material intercompany
transactions and balances are eliminated.  The results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and,
therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted or
abbreviated.  The information contained in the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes in the Company's 1998 annual report on Form 10-K,
should be referred to in connection with the reading of these unaudited interim
financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for
the period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Estimates that are susceptible to significant change include the determination
of the allowance for credit losses and the valuations of investments.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES

All investments are available for sale.  The amortized cost and fair value of
investment securities for the periods indicated are summarized as follows:

NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", which is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997.  This statement establishes standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses,
gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements.  This
statement requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 on January 1, 1998, and
all annual required disclosures have been included beginning with the Company's
1998 Form 10-K Annual Report.

The Company's comprehensive income for September 30, 1999 and 1998 is as
follows:

</TABLE>

The loan portfolio is the Company's primary asset subject to credit risk. The
Company's process for monitoring credit risks includes weekly analysis of loan
quality, 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.   The decision of management to place loans in this category does
not necessarily mean that the Company expects losses to occur but that
management recognizes that a higher degree of risk is associated with these
loans.
<PAGE>

The aggregate amount of non-performing assets was approximately $2,366,185 and
$2,148,136 at September 30, 1999, and 1998, 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, $59,493 of interest income would have been recorded for the three
months ended September 30, 1999.  Interest income actually collected and
recorded was $37,767.

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

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity refers to the ability of the Company to generate adequate amounts of
cash to meet the Company's need for cash.  The Company manages its liquidity to
provide adequate funds to support borrowing needs 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 the Company's liquidity are marketable assets maturing
within one year.  At September 30, 1999, the carrying value of debt securities
maturing within one year amounted to $3,064,740 or 5.0% of the total debt
securities portfolio.   The Company also holds $2,397,180 in marketable equity
securities. The Company attempts, when possible, to match relative maturities
of assets and liabilities, while maintaining the desired net interest margin.
Marketable assets maturing within one year will continue to be the primary
source of liquidity along with stable earnings, and strong capital position.
<PAGE>

In response to slow deposit growth to meet loan demand the Company has acquired
more non-core funds.  The primary funding sources utilized are Federal Home
Bank advances, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements from a base of
individuals, businesses, and public entities, and brokered CDs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 1999 decreased to $28,299,989 compared to
$29,334,761 at September 30, 1998.  The change in equity between the two
periods was primarily composed of the payment of dividends, and the repurchase
of common stock.  In January 1999, the Company repurchased 39,304 shares of
common stock at $27.50 per share. Stockholders' equity included unrealized
gains (losses), net of tax, on securities available for sale of ($440,446) at
September 30, 1999 compared to $514,488 for the comparable prior year period.
Tangible equity to assets at June 30, 1999 was 8.83%, with the Tier 1 leverage
ratio at 12.13%.

Cash dividends of $0.20 per share were paid in the third quarter of 1999,
representing a payout ratio of 41.83% for the quarter.

The adequacy of the Company's capital is regularly reviewed to ensure
sufficient capital is available for current and future needs and is in
compliance with regulatory guidelines.  As September 30, 1999, the Company's
tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, total risk-based capital, and tier 1 leverage
ratio were well in excess of regulatory minimums.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 totaled $871,729, or $.48
for basic and diluted earnings per share.  Comparatively, net income for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $811,619, or $.44 for basic and diluted
earnings per share.  Operating results for the third quarter 1999 generated an
annualized return on average assets of 1.20% and an annualized return on
average equity of 12.46%, compared to 1.18% and 11.32% for the comparable
period in 1998.  The net interest margin for third quarter 1999 was 4.48 %
compared to 4.54% for the comparable quarter in 1998.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Management determines the adequacy of the provision 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 $0 for the three months ended September 30,
1999, and $150,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.  The
allowance for credit losses as a percentage of gross loans outstanding was
$2,264,542 or 1.10% of total loans on September 30, 1999, compared to
$2,159,145 or 1.14% of total loans on December 31, 1998.  Net charge-offs as a
percentage of average loans outstanding were .01% and .09% during the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

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, 95.7% at September 30, 1999 and 99.8% at December 31, 1998.  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.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income decreased 7.88% to $479,033 during the three months ended
September 30, 1999, from the comparable third quarter of 1998.  There were no
gains or losses on securities during the three months ended September 30, 1999.

Trust service fees continue to increase with the growth in trust business
volume and assets managed by the Company's Trust Department. Fiduciary fees
increased $28,722 or 25.46% compared to the same quarter last year.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expenses increased 11.24% to $2,178,538 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999, from $1,958,427 for the three months ended September 30,
1998.   All categories of noninterest expense increased, with the exception of
FDIC assessment, when compared to 1998.

Occupancy increased $81,654 or 23.63% over third quarter 1998, due to increase
in maintenance costs, and depreciation of furniture, and equipment.  Other
operating increased $41,558 over third quarter 1998 primarily due to the
addition of the call center and related telephone expenses.  The remaining
increase in other operating is due to various volume-related costs.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

READINESS

The Company's assessment of the possible consequences of Year 2000 issues on
the Company's consolidated financial condition, liquidity, and results of
operations is continuing in accordance with the Company's Year 2000 Project
Plan (the "Year 2000 Plan").   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 term "Year 2000 readiness", or terms of similar
import, mean that the particular software or equipment referred to has been
modified or replaced and the Company believes that such modified or replaced
equipment or processes will operate as designed after 1999 without Year 2000
problems.

The Company's Technology Committee is monitoring Year 2000 issues and
implementing the Year 2000 Plan.  The initial assessment and inventory of all
software, hardware, interfaces, and other date sensitive systems was completed
in September 1997.  Compliance audits conducted by the FDIC in December 1997
and by an independent third party in July 1998 indicated Year 2000 readiness.
A phase II Year 2000 audit was performed in February 1999 by the FDIC also
indicated Year 2000 readiness.
<PAGE>

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. The Company has been informed by all such vendors that the
software used by the Company is Year 2000 ready.  The Company will continue to
monitor vendor certifications and take other steps as deemed appropriate to
address Year 2000 issues.

The Company has also reviewed its non-information technology systems.  Non-
information technology systems include equipment in use in the business areas,
which are not defined as computer hardware or peripheral devices.  The Company
has contacted vendors of non-information systems to determine Year 2000
compliance of these systems.  The Company believes these non-information
systems to be Year 2000 ready.

Inquiries have been made of the Company's key correspondent banks requesting
information on the status of their Year 2000 compliance.  Surveys and letters
have been mailed to commercial customers 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 have
been or 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.

COSTS

Replacement of hardware and software that was identified as non-Year 2000
compliant began in early 1998.  The cost of such equipment is capitalized over
its useful life. All other costs associated with Year 2000 issues are being
expensed as incurred.  Internal costs for Year 2000 readiness are not being
tracked, but principally relate to payroll costs of Company personnel.   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 consolidated financial condition, liquidity, or results
of operations.   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 ready.  While the
Company believes that such efforts will result in Year 2000 readiness 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 ready, the Company could suffer a
material adverse affect.  Similarly, while the Company faces potential
disruptions in its operations from Year 2000 problems as a result of the
failure of the power grid, telecommunications, or other utilities, it is not
aware that any material disruption in these infrastructures is reasonably
likely to occur.
<PAGE>

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 or reducing the nonloan portion of its
customers' banking business.  Approximately 54% 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 20% and 19% respectively, of the loans outstanding, but
also represent a diverse customer base.  The Bank has increased its credit loss
reserve for potential Year 2000 risk.

To the extent the Company incurs losses arising from the interruption of its
business or claims by its customers or vendors as a result of Year 2000
problems, it may have insurance coverage.  The scope and amount of such
insurance reimbursement for such losses will depend upon the nature of any
claims which may arise.

CONTINGENCY PLANS

The Company has prepared a business impact analysis to identify mission
critical issues and developed a business resumption contingency plan for
continued operations in the event of failure of one of its major systems.  This
business resumption contingency plan is similar, and in some cases, identical,
to those in place for the Company's overall business recovery plan that would
be used in the event of any type of disaster.

An overall Y2K contingency plan was submitted to the FDIC in June 1999.  It
covers all aspects of bank operations.  The different areas that were addressed
are as follows:

     A) Emergency Preparedness Plan
     B) Technology Disaster Recovery Plan
     C) Administration Y2K Plan
     D) Bank Investments Y2K Cont. Plan
     E) Bookkeeping/Deposits Y2K Cont. Plan
     F) Branch Y2K Checklists
     G) Cash Y2K Contingency Plan
     H) Human Resources Y2K Cont. Plan
     I) Loan Department Y2K Cont. Plan
     J) Marketing Y2K Contingency Plan
     K) Telecommunications Cont. Plan
     L) Teller Operations Y2K Cont. Plan
     M) Trust/Investment Y2K Cont. Plan




ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, " Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" (FASB133).  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.
<PAGE>

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 resulting designation.  Adoption of the
standard is required for the Company'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.
