Board of Directors and Shareholders
Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc.
Beloit, Wisconsin


We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet of
Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2000, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the three-month period then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 2000

Note 1.   General:

                  The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
                  conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to
                  general practices within the banking industry. The more
                  significant policies used by the Company in preparing and
                  presenting its financial statements are stated in the
                  Corporation's Form 10-KSB.

                  The effect of timing differences in the recognition of revenue
                  and expense for tax liability is not determined until the end
                  of each fiscal year.

                  In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited
                  consolidated condensed financial statements contain all
                  adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
                  necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
                  Corporation as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the
                  results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
                  2000 and 1999, and cash flows for the three months ended March
                  31, 2000 and 1999.

                  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
                  2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
                  be expected for the full year.

Note 2.           Non-Performing Loans

                  Non-performing loans includes loans which have been
                  categorized by management as non-accruing because collection
                  of interest is not assured, and loans which are past-due
                  ninety days or more as to interest and/or principal payments.
                  The following summarizes information concerning non-performing
                  loans:

Note 4.   Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are arrived at by
          dividing net income available to common shareholders by the
          weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and do not
          include the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock
          equivalents. The diluted earnings per share calculation is arrived at
          by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares
          outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding stock
          options, and any other common stock equivalents. The following table
          shows the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 5.   Future Accounting Change

          In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
          "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
          statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
          derivative instruments and for hedging activities. This statement
          requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
          liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair
          value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative
          depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting
          designation. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
          after June 15, 2000. Management, at this time, cannot determine the
          effect adoption of this statement may have on the consolidated
          financial statements of the Company as the accounting for derivatives
          is dependent on the amount and nature of derivatives in place at the
          time of adoption.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

      The purpose of Management's discussion and analysis is to provide relevant
      information regarding the Registrant's financial condition and its results
      of operations. The information included herein should be read in
      conjunction with the consolidated condensed balance sheets as of March 31,
      2000 and December 31, 1999 and the consolidated condensed statements of
      income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. This
      information is not meant to be a substitute for the balance sheets and
      income statements.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was approximately
      $252,000 compared to $311,000 for the similar period in 1999. The
      discussion that follows will provide information about the various areas
      of income and expense that resulted in the aforementioned results.

                           THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31

      For the three months ended March 31, 2000, interest income was $5,098,000
      compared to $4,907,000 for the same period in 1999. This increase of
      approximately $191,000 was due to the increases of interest and fees on
      loans of $201,000. The interest on investment securities increased
      $216,000 but was offset by a decrease of interest on short-term
      investments and bank deposits of $226,000.

      Interest and fees on loans increased to $4,049,000 in the three months
      ended March 31, 2000 compared to $3,848,000 in same period of 1999. This
      increase was the result of an increase in average loans of approximately
      $19,000,000, offsetting an average decline of approximately 0.50% in
      yield. All of the general loan categories participated in the increased
      volume and reduced rate except credit cards. Credit card volume and
      average rate declined in the current period compared to that of 1999.

      Investment income on taxable securities increased $184,000 in the first
      three months of 2000 compared to 1999, $868,000 and $684,000 respectively.
      This increase was the result of increased volumes partially offset by
      lower yields. Income from tax exempt securities increased to $135,000 in
      2000 compared to $101,000 in the same period in 1999. This was the result
      of an increase in volume and a slight increase in rate.

      Interest from fed funds sold and other short-term investments decreased
      substantially to $8,000 in 2000 from $164,000 in 1999. The excess
      liquidity that was evident in 1999 was the result of real estate loan
      payoffs and security maturities. Late in the first quarter and early
      second quarter of 1999, this excess liquidity had been invested in either
      longer-term securities or the loan portfolio.

      Interest paid on deposits decreased to $2,220,000 in the three months
      ended March 31, 2000 compared to $2,282,000 for the same period in 1999.
      Average interest-bearing deposits declined from year earlier amounts. The
      average rate paid on deposits decreased when comparing 2000 to 1999. The
      actions of the Federal Reserve will continue to affect the level and
      direction of interest rates in the future.

      Interest on short-term borrowings increased to $291,000 from $90,000 in
      1999, an increase of $201,000, or nearly 225.0%. Interest on other
      borrowings increased to $267,000 in the first quarter of 2000 from
      $244,000 in the same period in 1999. The volume as well as the average
      rate of both of these categories increased in 2000 compared to 1999. The
      increased volume was used to partially fund the increase of the investment
      and loan portfolios. Short-term borrowing consist of securities sold under
      agreements to repurchase. Other borrowings are represented by Federal Home
      Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and borrowings with a third-party bank in part
      to finance the First Financial acquisition.


                                       11

The provision for loan loss was $90,000 for the three months in 2000 compared to
$108,000 in 1999. It is management's opinion that this amount represents an
adequate provision.

Total other operating income decreased to $549,000 from $756,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively. Gain on sale of loans in the
first quarter of 2000 was $15,000 compared to $200,000 in 1999. As fixed
mortgage rates increased in the second half of 1999, the activity in this area
decreased significantly. Substantially, all fixed rate loans originated are sold
in the secondary market. Partially offsetting the reduction of income from
mortgage sales was the increase in service charges on deposit accounts. The
increase was due to an increased number of accounts and an increased fee
schedule. Other income in the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $144,000
compared to $187,000 in the comparable period of 1999.

Total other operating expenses decreased approximately $33,000 to $2,402,000
from $2,435,000. The area of largest decrease was salaries and employee
benefits, $1,197,000 compared to $1,241,000 in 2000 and 1999 respectively. The
main reason for the lower salaries is reduced staff, some as a result of
conscious effort and other as certain positions have remained unfilled during
the first quarter of 2000 while the Company sought to fill them. The increases
and decreases in the other categories nearly offset each other.

Income taxes decreased to $126,000 from $193,000. This decrease was due to a
lower amount of income before taxes. The effective tax rate, 33.3% and 38.3%,
2000 and 1999 respectively, decreased because the tax-exempt income more nearly
offset the non-deductible intangible amortization. The non-deductible
amortization expenses are the result of the purchase method of accounting the
Company has used for its acquisitions.


                             BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

This analysis of the Company's financial position is comparing March 31, 2000 to
December 31, 1999. Total assets were $300.3 million compared to $295.7 million
at December 31, 1999. This represents an increase of approximately 1.6%.

Net loans were $192.6 million on March 31, 2000 and $190.2 million on December
31, 1999, an increase of $2.4 million. Real estate loans and commercial loans
have increased since the beginning of the year by $1.4 million and $1.6 million
respectively. Consumer loans and credit card loans have decreased a total of
$0.6 million since December 31, 1999. The Company expects loan demand will be
adversely affected by anticipated future increases in interest rates, as
customers have become more price sensitive.

Allowance for loan losses remained unchanged at $2.0 million at March 31, 2000
from December 31, 1999. As of March 31, 2000, non-performing loans totaled $3.5
million compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 1999. Management believes that
the allowance is adequate at this time.

Net bank premises and equipment was $6.9 million at March 31, 2000 compared to
$7.1 million at December 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily the depreciation
of buildings and equipment with no major purchases.

Fed funds sold and other short term investments increased approximately $300,000
comparing March 31, 2000 with December 31, 1999. Securities available for sale
were $53.9 million at March 31, 2000 compared to $49.0 million at December 31,
1999. Securities held to maturity were $18.8 million compared to $19.7 million,
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Most of the securities
purchased will be added to the available for sale category.

Total deposits were $234.3 million at March 31, 2000 compared to $234.1 million
at December 31, 1999. Non-interest bearing deposits were approximately $1.6
million lower on March 31, 2000 than December 31, 1999, $29.0 million and $30.6
million, respectively. Several commercial customers have historically increased
their

                                       12

<PAGE>   13


demand deposit balances at year-end. As a result, subsequent reporting dates
typically have balances lower than year-end. Interest bearing deposits were up
slightly, $205.3 million at March 31, 2000 and $203.6 million at December 31,
1999. Competition for deposit dollars continues to be aggressive. As a result,
dramatic growth of interest-bearing deposits is not anticipated during the
balance of 2000.

Short-term borrowings, fed funds purchased and repurchase agreements, increased
to $21.7 million from $18.6 million as of year-end. Other borrowings, consisting
of long-term borrowings incurred in part to complete the First Financial
acquisition and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank for terms greater than
one year, were $18.2 million at March 31, 2000 compared to $16.8 million at
December 31, 1999. The advances from the FHLB were used to fund some loans in
the past and to also provide liquidity. The use of FHLB advances in the future
will depend on the Bank's need for funds and the rates at which they may be
obtained.

The Company continues to maintain an excellent capital position regardless of
the measurement used. The following table shows three different measurements as
of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the regulatory requirement, if any.
The decline in the risk weighted capital ratios has been driven by the shift in
the lending portfolio to commercial loans and commercial real estate which carry
a higher risk weighting than 1-4 family mortgages. This change is expected to
improve earnings. Management does not anticipate the need for additional capital
resources in the near future.

Liquidity as it relates to the subsidiary bank is a measure of its ability to
fund loans and withdrawals of deposits in a cost-effective manner. The Bank's
principal sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayment
of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, income from operations,
and short term borrowings. Additional sources include purchasing fed funds, sale
of loans, borrowing from both the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan
Bank capital loans, and dividends paid by Nevahawk to the Bank. Under present
law, accumulated earnings could be paid as dividends without incurring a tax
liability.

The liquidity needs of the Company primarily consist of payment of dividends to
its shareholders and a limited amount of expenses. The sources of funds to
provide this liquidity are cash balances, dividends from the Bank, and a line of
credit with a third-party bank. Certain restrictions are imposed upon the Bank
which could limit its ability to pay dividends if it did not have net earnings
in the future. The Company maintains adequate liquidity to pay its expenses.

Off-Balance sheet items consist of credit card lines of credit, mortgage
commitments, letters of credit and other commitments totaling approximately
$28.5 million as of March 31, 2000. This compares to $30.6 million at December
31, 1999. The bank historically funds off-balance sheet commitments with its
primary sources of funds, and management anticipates that this will continue.
