  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     Mid-Iowa Financial Corp. ("Mid-Iowa" or the "Company") was
formed in June of 1992 by Mid-Iowa Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the
"Bank") to become the thrift institution holding company of the
Bank.  The acquisition of the Bank by the Company was consummated
on October 13, 1992 in connection with the Bank's conversion
from the mutual to the stock form (the "Conversion").

     The primary business of the Company has historically
consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and
providing financing for the purchase of residential properties. 
The operations of the Company are significantly affected by
prevailing economic conditions as well as by government policies
and regulations relating to monetary and fiscal affairs, housing
and financial institutions.

     The Company's net income is primarily dependent upon the
difference (or "spread") between the average yield earned on
loans, mortgage-backed and related securities and investments,
and the average rate paid on deposits and borrowings, as well as
the relative amounts of such assets and liabilities.  The
interest rate spread is affected by regulatory, economic and
competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand
and deposit flows.  The Company, like other thrift institutions,
is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest
bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times, or on a
different basis, than its interest-earning assets.

     The Company's net income is also affected by, among other
things, gains and losses on sales of loans and foreclosed assets,
provisions for possible loan losses, service charges and other
fees, commissions received from subsidiary operations, operating
expenses and income taxes.  Center of Iowa Investments, Limited,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, generates revenues by the
sale of insurance, annuities, mutual funds and other investment
products to its customers as well as providing discount
securities brokerage, credit reporting and collecting services. 
Mid-Iowa Security Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, generates revenues by real estate brokerage services,
and real estate development.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total assets increased by $7.3 million to $135.3 million at
December 31, 1997 compared to $128.0 million at September 30,
1997.  This increase was primarily due to an increase in loans
receivable to $71.5 million at December 31, 1997 from $66.4
million at September 30, 1997.  The increase in assets was funded
by $10.0 million increase in borrowed funds from $25.0 million at
September 30, 1997, to $35.0 million at December 31, 1997,
partially offset by a decrease in deposits of $3.5 million from
$89.4  million at September 30, 1997, to $85.9 million at
December 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's results of operations depend primarily on the
level of its net interest income and non interest income and the
level of its operating expenses.  Net interest income depends
upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and interest rates earned or paid on them.

                           -5-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     During the three months ended December 31, 1997, the
Company's operating strategy to improve its profitability and
capital position continued to emphasize (i) maintenance of the
Company's asset quality, (ii) asset-liability management, (iii)
management of operating expenses to improve operating income, and
(iv) expanding loan originations.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND DECEMBER
31, 1996.

     General.  The Company's net income decreased by $21,700 to
$351,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from net
income of $373,000 for the same period in 1996.  The primary
reason for the decrease in net income was a $23,000 decrease in
gains on the sale of assets.

     Interest income.  Interest income increased $249,000 to $2.4
million for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from $2.2
million for the same period in 1996 primarily as a result of an
increase in interest-earning assets to $125.3 million at December
31, 1997 from $114.5 million at December 31, 1996.

     Interest expense.  Interest expense increased $198,000 to
$1.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 1997 from
$1.3 million in the same period in 1996 due primarily to an
increase in borrowed funds of $9.5 million to $35.0 million at
December 31, 1997 from $25.5 million at December 31, 1996.

     Net Interest Income.  The interplay of the changes in
interest income and expenses caused net interest income to
increase $51,000 to $927,000 at December 31, 1997 compared to
$876,000 for the same period in 1996.  The Company's average
spread (the mathematical difference between the yield on
interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities) decreased to 2.61% for the period ended December 31,
1997 from 2.64% for the period ended December 31, 1996.  The
Company's net interest margin (net interest income divided
by average interest-earning assets) decreased to 3.00% at
December 31, 1997 from 3.07% at December 31, 1996.

     Non-Performing Assets and Loan Loss Provision.  Management
establishes specific reserves for estimated losses on loans when
it determines that losses are anticipated on these loans.  The
Company calculates any allowance for possible loan losses based
upon its ongoing evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the
types and quality of its loans.  These factors, included but are
not limited to, the current and anticipated economic conditions,
including uncertainties in the national real estate market, the
level of classified assets, historical loan loss experience, a
detailed analysis of individual loans for which full
collectibility may not be assured, a determination of the
existence and fair value of the collateral, the ability of the
borrower to repay and the guarantees securing such loans. 
Management, as a result of this review process, recorded
provisions for loan losses in the amount of $15,000 for the three
months ending December 31, 1997 as compared to $9,000 for the
three months ending December 31, 1996.  The Company's loan loss
allowance as of December 31, 1997 was $295,000.  The September
30, 1997 loan loss reserve was $302,000.  Total non-performing
assets as of December 31, 1997 were $282,000 or .21% of total
assets.  $258,000 of the non-performing assets were the
result of loans to one individual on his home and two commercial
loans.  The two commercial loans are guaranteed by SBA and
management believes that the home has a value well in excess of
the loan balance.  Management believes that any loss over the
$15,000 already recognized at December 31, 1997 will be minimal.

     The Company will continue to monitor and adjust its
allowance for losses on loans as management's analysis of its
loan portfolio and economic conditions dictate.  However,
although the Company maintains its allowance for losses on loans
at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for
potential losses, in view of the continued uncertainties in the
economy generally and the regulatory uncertainty pertaining to
reserve levels for the thrift industry generally, there can be no
assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated 

                             -6-
<PAGE>
amounts or that the Company will not be required to make
additional substantial additions to its allowance for
losses on loans in the future.  

     Noninterest income.  Noninterest income decreased $88,000 to
$270,000 in the three months ended December 31, 1997 from
$358,000 in the same period for 1997.  This decrease is primarily
due to a decrease in commissions in the real estate sales
operation conducted through a subsidiary of the Company.  As a
result, noninterest income generated by the Company's non-banking
subsidiaries decreased to $166,000 compared to $254,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively.

     Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $45,000
to $714,000 in the three months ended December 31, 1997 from
$669,000 in the same period of 1996.  This increase was primarily
due to an increase in compensation of $43,000 and office
properties expense of $27,000, both due to opening the branch in
West Des Moines.  Noninterest expense attributable to the
Company's subsidiaries decreased to $125,000 compared to $191,000
for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
respectively.

     Income taxes.  Income taxes for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 decreased to $118,000 from $183,000 in the same
period for 1996 due to a decrease in taxable income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Bank's sources of funds are deposits, sales of mortgage
loans, amortization and repayment of loan principal and
mortgage-back and related securities and, to a lesser extent,
maturation of investments and funds from other operations.  While
maturing investments are predictable, deposit flows and loan
repayments are influenced by interest rates, general economic
conditions, and competition making it less predictable.  The Bank
attempts to price its deposits to achieve its asset/liability,
objectives and will from time to time to supplement deposits with
longer term and/or less expensive alternative sources of funds
including FHLB advances.

     Federal regulations historically have required the Bank to
maintain minimum levels of liquid assets.  The required
percentage has varied from time to time based on economic
conditions and savings flows, and is currently 4% of net
withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or
in one year or less during the preceding calendar month.  Liquid
assets for purposes of this ratio include cash, certain time
deposits, U.S. government and certain corporate securities and
other obligations.  The Bank has historically maintained
its liquidity ratio at levels in excess of those required.  At
December 31, 1997, the amount of the Company's liquidity was
$26.0 million, resulting in a liquidity ratio of 30.0%.  At
December 31, 1996 the Bank's liquid assets (as defined) totaled
$5.5 million resulting in a liquidity ratio of $5.7%.

     Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term
responsibility of management.  The Bank adjusts its
investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment
of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii)
yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (iv) the
objectives of its asset/liability management program.  Excess
liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight
deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. 
If the Bank required additional funds, beyond its internal
ability to generate, it has additional borrowing capacity with
the FHLB of Des Moines and collateral eligible for repurchase
agreements.  At December 31, 1997, the Bank had outstanding
advances from the FHLB of Des Moines in the amount of $35.0
million and had the capacity to borrow up to an additional $15
million. 

                              -7-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     The Bank uses its liquidity resources principally to meet
on-going commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit
and deposit withdrawals, to invest, to fund existing and future
loan commitments, to maintain liquidity and to meet operating
expenses.

     At December 31, 1997, the Bank had tangible and core capital
of $10.1 million or 7.58% of adjusted total assets, which was
approximately $8.1 million and $6.1 million above the minimum
requirements of 1.5% and 3.0% respectively, of the adjusted total
assets in effect on that date.  On December 31, 1997, the Bank
had risk-based capital of $10.4 million (including $10.1 million
in core capital), or 18.8% of risk-weighted assets of $55.4
million.  This amount was $6.0 million above the 8.0% requirement
in effect on that date.  The Bank is presently in compliance with
applicable capital requirements.

     The Company has declared a cash dividend of $.02 per share
for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
