Part I

Item 1.  Description of the Business

         Quad City Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in February of 1993
         under the laws of the state of Delaware for the purpose of becoming the
         bank holding company of Quad City Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank").

         The Bank was  capitalized on October 13, 1993 and commenced  operations
         on  January  7,  1994.  The  Bank  is  organized  as an  Iowa-chartered
         commercial  bank that is a member of the  Federal  Reserve  System with
         depository   accounts   insured  by  the  Federal   Deposit   Insurance
         Corporation.  The Bank provides  full-service  commercial  and consumer
         banking  services in the Quad City area through its offices  located in
         Bettendorf and Davenport, Iowa and in Moline, Illinois.

         Quad City Bancard,  Inc.  ("Bancard") was capitalized on April 3, 1995,
         as  a  Delaware   corporation   which  provides  merchant  credit  card
         processing  services.  This operation had previously been a division of
         the Bank since July 1994.  Bancard has  contracted  with an independent
         sales  organization  which  markets  credit card  services to merchants
         throughout  the  country.  Currently,  approximately  10,000  merchants
         process transactions with Bancard.

         The Company owns 100% of the Bank and Bancard,  and in addition to such
         ownership  invests its capital in stocks of financial  institutions and
         mutual funds, as well as participates in loans with the Bank.

         The Bank competes with other commercial banks, investment and brokerage
         firms, savings banks, savings and loan institutions,  credit unions and
         other financial service  organizations in the Quad Cities market. Being
         established  in  1994,  the  Bank  is  one  of  the  smaller  financial
         institutions  in its  market.  The Bank,  the  Company  and Bancard are
         regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve System (the
         "Federal  Reserve  Board").  In addition,  the Bank is regulated by the
         Iowa  Superintendent  of Banking  (the "Iowa  Superintendent")  and the
         Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC").

         The Company's principal  business consists of attracting  deposits from
         the public and investing  those deposits in loans and  securities.  The
         Bank's deposits  are insured to the  maximum  amount  allowable  by the
         FDIC.  The Company's results of operations  are dependent  primarily on
         net  interest  income,  which is the  difference  between the  interest
         earned on its loans and  securities  and the interest paid on deposits.
         The Company's operating  results are  affected by merchant  credit card
         fees, trust fees, deposit service charges, and other income.  Operating
         expenses of the Company  include  employee  compensation  and benefits,
         occupancy and equipment expense, professional and data processing fees,
         advertising and marketing expenses and other  administrative  expenses.
         The Company's  operating  results  are also  affected  by economic  and
         competitive   conditions,   particularly  changes  in  interest  rates,
         government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

         The commercial  banking  business is a highly regulated  business.  See
         Appendix A for a brief summary regarding federal and state statutes and
         regulations,  which are applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries.
         Supervision,  regulation  and  examination  of banks  and bank  holding
         companies by bank  regulatory  agencies are intended  primarily for the
         protection  of  depositors  rather than  stockholders  of bank  holding
         companies and banks.

         The Company,  the Bank and Bancard have a June 30th fiscal year end and
         employ 85  individuals.  No one customer  accounts for more than 10% of
         revenues, loans or deposits.

         See  Appendix  B for the  tables  and  schedules  which  show  selected
         comparative  statistical  information required pursuant to the industry
         guides promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 and 1934,  relating
         to the business of the Company.

Item 2.  Description of Property

         The main offices of the Company and the Bank are in a 6,700 square foot
         facility  which was completed in January of 1994. In March of 1994, the
         Bank  acquired that  facility,  which is located at 2118 Middle Road in
         Bettendorf.
<PAGE>


         Construction of a second full service banking facility was completed in
         July of 1996 to provide for the  convenience of customers and to expand
         its market  territory.  The Bank also owns its portion of that facility
         which is  located  at 4500  Brady  Street in  Davenport.  The two story
         building is in two segments that are  separated by an atrium.  The Bank
         owns the south  half of the  building,  while the  northern  portion is
         owned by the  developer.  Each  floor is 6,000  square  feet.  The Bank
         occupies its first floor and utilizes the basement for storage and item
         processing. The basement is in the process of being finished to provide
         additional  space for the Bank's operational  functions.  Approximately
         3,500 square feet of its second floor has been leased to a professional
         services firm. A lease on the remaining  2,500 square feet is currently
         being negotiated.  In addition,  the residential real estate department
         of the Bank will be  leasing  approximately  2,500  square  feet on the
         first floor in the north half of the building.

         Renovation of a third full service banking  facility is underway at the
         historic Velie Plantation  Mansion located near the intersection of 7th
         Street  and John  Deere  Road in  Moline  near  the Rock  Island/Moline
         border. The building is owned by the developer and the Bank and Bancard
         will be  major  tenants.  The  Company  has no plans  to  purchase  the
         building.  Bancard plans to relocate its  operations to the lower level
         of the 30,000  square foot  building in late 1997.  The Bank will begin
         its  operations  on the first floor of the building in early 1998.  The
         Company  obtained an Illinois  banking  charter  that was  subsequently
         merged into the Iowa charter.

         The Bank  currently  leases  approximately  1,500 square feet of office
         space in a building  adjacent to the Velie Plantation  Mansion property
         and has been operating a temporary branch facility since June 16, 1997.

         Bancard  currently  leases  approximately  1,700  square feet of office
         space in Bettendorf from an unrelated third party.

         Management  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  facilities  are  of  sound
         construction,  in good operating condition,  are appropriately  insured
         and  are  adequately  equipped  for  carrying  on the  business  of the
         Company.

         The Bank  intends to limit its  investment  in premises to no more than
         50% of Bank capital.  The Bank  frequently  invests in commercial  real
         estate mortgages.  The Bank also invests in residential mortgages.  The
         Bank has  established  lending  policies  which  include  a  number  of
         underwriting  factors  to be  considered  in  making a loan  including,
         location,  loan to value  ratio,  cash flow,  interest  rate and credit
         worthiness of the borrower.

         No individual real estate  property or mortgage  amounts to 10% or more
         of consolidated assets.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

         The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings  against it, the Bank
         or Bancard.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

         There were no matters  submitted to the stockholders of the Company for
         a vote  during  the fourth  quarter  of the fiscal  year ended June 30,
         1997.
<PAGE>



Part II

Item 5.  Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

         The  Company's common  stock has been  traded  on The  Nasdaq  SmallCap
         Market since October 6, 1993. High and low sales prices, as reported on
         Nasdaq for each quarterly period during the two fiscal years ended June
         30, 1997 and 1996 were as follows:

</TABLE>
         No cash  dividends  were declared  during the past fiscal year. At June
         30, 1997,  there were  estimated to be  approximately  2,000 holders of
         record of the Company's common stock.

         The Company  expects that all earnings  will be retained to finance the
         growth of the Company, the Bank and Bancard, and that no cash dividends
         will be paid for the  foreseeable  future.  If and when  dividends  are
         declared, the Company will probably be largely dependent upon dividends
         from the Bank and  Bancard  for funds to pay  dividends  on the  common
         stock.

         Under Iowa law, the Bank will be restricted as to the maximum amount of
         dividends it may pay on its common stock. The Iowa Banking Act provides
         that an Iowa bank may not pay  dividends in an amount  greater than its
         undivided profits.  The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System.
         The total of all dividends  declared by the Bank in a calendar year may
         not exceed the total of its net profits of that year  combined with its
         retained  net profits of the  preceding  two years.  In  addition,  the
         Federal  Reserve  Board,  the  Iowa  Superintendent  and the  FDIC  are
         authorized  under  certain  circumstances  to  prohibit  the payment of
         dividends by the Bank. In the case of the Company, further restrictions
         on dividends may be imposed by the Federal Reserve Board.

Item 6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

         Results of Operations

         Net income for the year ended June 30, 1997 was $1,219,336, compared to
         $682,588 for the year ended June 30, 1996.  Results improved  primarily
         because of a $1,315,136 increase in net interest income after provision
         for loan  losses,  and a  $1,101,026  increase in other  income.  These
         increases  were offset by a $1,714,414  increase in other  expenses due
         primarily to the  increased  number of employees  and higher  operating
         costs  related to the increased  volume of business,  as well as income
         taxes of $165,000 . Losses were reported for the periods ended June 30,
         1995 and 1994 of $373,782  and  $1,122,402,  respectively.  Because the
         Company was a start-up  venture,  there were expected losses during the
         pre-opening period and for the first several years of operations.

         Interest income  increased to $9,750,085 in fiscal 1997 from $6,583,467
         in fiscal 1996, a rise of  $3,166,618.  The rise was  primarily  due to
         greater  average  outstanding  balances  in  interest  bearing  assets.
         Interest  income is  comprised  primarily  of interest  income on loans
         (including loan fees), securities, federal funds sold and the Company's
         own  deposits  maintained  at other  financial  institutions.  Interest
         income should  continue to grow as the loan  portfolio and other assets
         increase,  and would also  increase  as a result of a rise in  interest
         rates.

         Interest expense increased to $4,993,868 in fiscal 1997 from $3,486,380
         in fiscal 1996, an increase of  $1,507,488,  and  represented  interest
         paid primarily to depositors,  as well as interest paid on Federal Home
         Loan Bank  advances  and  federal  funds  purchased.  The  increase  in
         interest expense was again primarily due to greater average outstanding
         balances  in  interest  bearing  liabilities.   Interest  expense  will
         continue to increase as deposits  and Federal  Home Loan Bank  advances
         and other borrowings grow and would also increase as a result of a rise
         in interest rates.

         Net interest income for the years ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
         amounted to $4,756,217 and  $3,097,087,  respectively,  and represented
         the  difference  between  interest  income earned on earning assets and
         interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities.
<PAGE>



         The provision for loan losses is  established  based on factors such as
         the local and national  economy and the risk  associated with the loans
         in the portfolio.  The Company's provision for loan losses was $844,391
         for the year ended June 30,  1997,  compared to  $500,397  for the year
         ended June 30, 1996.  The $343,994  increase in the  provision for loan
         losses was  primarily  in response to the growth in the loan  portfolio
         during fiscal 1997. The increase maintained the Company's allowance for
         estimated  losses on loans at 1.5% of total loans at both June 30, 1997
         and June 30, 1996.

         Other income  increased by $1,101,026 to $2,763,313 in fiscal 1997 from
         $1,662,287  in fiscal year 1996.  Management  plans to place  increased
         importance  on  enhancing   noninterest   income  by   establishing   a
         profitability steering committee during fiscal 1998.

         One of the most significant  components of other income is net merchant
         credit card income which totaled  $1,531,728  and  $1,007,830 in fiscal
         1997 and 1996, respectively.  The $523,898 growth experienced in fiscal
         1997  reflects  the  increase  of over  $167  million  of  transactions
         processed,   as  well  as  the  addition  of  approximately  1,500  new
         merchants.

         Trust  income  increased  to $736,461  in fiscal 1997 from  $355,360 in
         fiscal 1996.  The $381,101  increase  reflects the  development  of new
         trust relationships, as well as a strong stock market.

         Other  income  increased  $142,876  in  fiscal  1997 to  $272,023  from
         $129,147 in fiscal 1997.  The increase  was  primarily  due to the fees
         generated by the item processing department, receipt of lease income on
         the  second  floor of the  Davenport  building  and the  growth  in the
         commission income generated by the investment center.

         Other  expenses  consisted  primarily of salaries and  benefits;  other
         expense,  including  bank service  charges and trust related  expenses;
         professional  fees,  including data processing  fees; and occupancy and
         equipment  expenses.  Concurrent  with  the  Company's  growth,  other
         expenses  increased to  $5,290,803  in fiscal 1997 from  $3,576,389  in
         fiscal  1996.  The  $1,714,414  increase  was  primarily  due to higher
         overhead  expenses on the increased volume of business  attained during
         fiscal 1997.  Management  will continue to attempt to contain  overhead
         costs while maintaining optimal service levels and productivity.

         In fiscal 1997, salaries and benefits  experienced the most significant
         dollar increase of any noninterest  expense  component.  For the twelve
         months ended June 30, 1997,  total  salaries and benefits  increased to
         $2,934,758, or $961,076 over the June 30, 1996 total of $1,973,682. The
         change was  primarily  attributable  to the  increase  in the Company's
         number of employees, as well as merit and cost of living raises.

         In fiscal 1997, occupancy and equipment expense experienced the largest
         single percentage increase within the noninterest expense category. For
         the twelve  months ended June 30, 1997,  total  occupancy and equipment
         expense increased to $654,010, or $364,780 over the June 30, 1996 total
         of $289,230.  The change was  primarily  attributable  to the Company's
         expansion to a second banking facility, located in Davenport.

         The Company's income taxes expense was $165,000 for the year ended June
         30, 1997.  During fiscal 1997 the  pre-opening  and initial  losses had
         been fully utilized, therefore during the fiscal fourth quarter, income
         tax expense was recorded. 

         Financial Condition and Liquidity

         Total  assets  of the  Company  grew  by  $56,903,774,  or  51.05%,  to
         $168,378,751  at June 30, 1997 from  $111,474,977 at June 30, 1996. The
         most  dramatic  increase in the Bank's financial  condition  was in the
         loan  portfolio.  The  loan  portfolio  was  funded  primarily  from an
         increase in deposits received from customers.

         Cash and due from banks increased by $338,056,  or 5.11%, to $6,953,463
         at June 30, 1997 from $6,615,407 at June 30, 1996 and represented  cash
         maintained  at the Bank and  funds  that the Bank and the  Company  had
         deposited in other banks in the form of demand deposits.

         Federal funds sold are inter-bank funds with daily  liquidity.  At June
         30, 1997, the Bank had invested  $9,190,000 in such funds.  Such amount
         increased by $6,462,000 from $2,728,000 at June 30, 1996.

         A portion of the Bank's investment  securities  are purchased  with the
         intent to hold the securities until they mature. These held to maturity
         securities  were  recorded at amortized  cost at both June 30, 1997 and
         June  30,  1996.  At June  30,  1997,  mortgage-backed  securities  and
         municipal  securities  made  up  the  $2,914,129  balance.  This  was a
         decrease   of   $242,472,   or  7.68%,   from  June  30,   1996,   when
         mortgage-backed   securities  and  municipal  securities  made  up  the
         $3,156,601  balance.  Market  values at June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996
         were $2,888,062 and $3,097,115, respectively.

         All of the Company's and a portion of the Bank s securities  are placed
         in the available for sale category as the  securities may be liquidated
         to provide cash for operating or financing  purposes.  These securities
         were  reported at fair value and decreased by  $2,135,023,  or 6.88% to
         $28,897,629  at June 30, 1997 from  $31,032,652  at June  30,1996.  The
         decrease was  attributable  to the  significant  loan growth during the
         fiscal year. The amortized cost of such securities at June 30, 1997 and
         June 30, 1996 was $28,986,270 and $31,518,121, respectively.

         The amortized  cost and the weighted  average yields for the categories
         of securities are summarized below.

         Loans receivable  increased by $51,555,709,  or 90.75%, to $108,365,429
         at June  30,  1997  from  $56,809,720  at June  30,  1996.  The  totals
         represented  loans  made by the Bank and also loan  participations  the
         Company had purchased  from the Bank, on loans that exceeded the Bank's
         legal  lending  limit.  As of June 30, 1997,  the Bank's legal  lending
         limit was  $2,138,400.  The  Company  has  received  approval  from the
         Federal  Reserve Board to grant loans and to  participate in loans with
         the Bank. The majority of residential  real estate loans  originated by
         the Bank were sold on the  secondary  market to avoid the interest rate
         risk associated with long term fixed rate loans. During the fiscal year
         ended  1997,  the Bank  originated  $91,953,486  of loans and  received
         repayments of $40,397,777.

         The Company's allowance for estimated losses on loans was $1,632,500 at
         June 30, 1997 or 1.5% of total  loans,  compared to $852,500 or 1.5% at
         June 30, 1996.  Although  management  believes  that the  allowance for
         estimated  losses on loans at June 30, 1997 was at a level  adequate to
         absorb losses on existing  loans,  there can be no assurance  that such
         losses will not exceed the  estimated  amounts or that the Company will
         not be required to make  additional  provisions  for loan losses in the
         future.   Asset   quality  is  a  priority  for  the  Company  and  its
         subsidiaries.  The ability to grow profitably is in part dependent upon
         the ability to maintain that quality.

         At June 30, 1997,  past due loans 30 days or more amounted to $928,937.
         At June 30, 1996,  past due loans 30 days or more amounted to $864,368.
         The  Company  anticipated  an  increase  in the  dollar  amount of this
         category in fiscal 1997 from the prior years. At June 30, 1996, much of
         the loan  portfolio  had been on the books for a relatively  short time
         period,  thus an increase in past due loans was likely as the portfolio
         matured.  However,  past due  loans  as a  percentage  of  gross  loans
         receivable  at June 30, 1997  decreased to 0.86% from 1.52% at June 30,
         1996.  The Company  intends to continue to closely  monitor these loans
         and does not anticipate any material losses.

         The Company  experienced loan charge-offs of $64,913 during fiscal 1997
         compared to $120,372 during fiscal 1996.

         Premises and equipment increased by $717,651 or 15.84% to $5,248,689 at
         June 30, 1997 from  $4,531,038 at June 30, 1996. The increase  resulted
         primarily  from the Bank paying the  developer  its final  construction
         costs of the new Davenport banking  location,  as well as furniture and
         equipment  for that  location.  Additional  information  regarding  the
         composition  of this account and related  accumulated  depreciation  is
         described  in  footnote  4 to the  consolidated  financial  statements.
         Management  expects that additional  expenditures of approximately $1.5
         million will occur in fiscal 1998 due to the fit out and  furniture and
         equipment  costs  related  to the  expansion  to the  Moline,  Illinois
         location.

         Accrued interest receivable on loans,  securities and  interest-bearing
         cash  accounts  increased to $1,374,307 or 22.57% at June 30, 1997 from
         $1,121,268 at June 30, 1996.  The increase was primarily due to greater
         average outstanding balances in interest bearing assets.

         Other assets at June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 consisted  primarily of
         miscellaneous   receivables,   prepaid   expenses  and  accrued   trust
         department income,  and totaled $1,708,481 and $860,779,  respectively.
         The  $847,702 or 98.48%  increase  was  attributable  to the  increased
         volume of business and the related prepaid expenses associated with the
         growth at the Bank and Bancard.

         Deposits grew to $135,960,195 at June 30, 1997 from $92,918,118 at June
         30,1996,  for an  increase  of  $43,042,077,  or 46.32%.  The  increase
         consisted of a $6,372,771  increase in noninterest bearing accounts and
         a $36,669,306 increase in interest bearing accounts.

         Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")  advances  increased to  $10,777,712 at
         June 30,  1997 from  $3,411,470  at June 30,  1996,  for an increase of
         $7,366,242.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines. As of June
         30, 1997,  the Bank held  $2,114,500 of FHLB stock.  As a result of its
         membership  in the FHLB,  the Bank has the ability to borrow  funds for
         short- or long-term purposes under a variety of programs.  The increase
         was primarily  attributable  to the fact that deposit growth was not as
         great as the loan demand during the fiscal year. Additionally,  the use
         of the  advances  enabled the bank to hedge  against  potential  rising
         interest rates.

         Other  borrowings  increased  to  $1,500,000  at  June  30,  1997  from
         $1,000,000  at June 30, 1996.  Other  borrowings  consist of the amount
         outstanding  on a $1,500,000  revolving  credit note with a third party
         lender,  which is secured by all the outstanding stock of the Bank. The
         borrowed funds were utilized to provide  additional capital to the Bank
         to maintain the required 8% leverage ratio.

         Other  liabilities  grew to $5,527,618 at June 30, 1997 from $1,286,783
         at June 30,  1996 for an  increase  of  $4,240,835.  Other  liabilities
         consisted  primarily of accrued interest  payable on deposit  accounts,
         accrued  expenses and  accounts  payable.  The  increase was  primarily
         attributable to the merchant accounts payable on Bancard's books at the
         end of the year, as well the greater  average  outstanding  balances in
         interest bearing liabilities.

         Stockholders' equity increased by $2,944,620 to $14,613,226 at June 30,
         1997 from $11,668,606 at June 30, 1996. The increase  resulted from the
         combination of the net income for the 1997 fiscal year, the issuance of
         perpetual,  nonvoting preferred stock, the exercise of all the warrants
         held by the underwriter of the Company's initial public  offering,  and
         the decrease in the unrealized losses on securities available for sale.

         In anticipation  of continued  asset growth,  the Company has privately
         placed  shares  of  its  preferred  stock  with  a  limited  number  of
         institutional  investors.  On December 27, 1996, 10 shares of preferred
         stock  were  issued  for  a  consideration  of  $1,000,000.  Additional
         commitments  evidenced by signed subscriptions  totaled $5.5 million at
         June 30, 1997

         Retained earnings  increased by $1,219,336 to $171,171 at June 30, 1997
         from a deficit of  $1,048,165 at June 30, 1996.  Retained  earnings was
         comprised of pre-opening expenses,  start-up expenses for the Bank, and
         prior net  losses  incurred,  offset  by fiscal  year 1997 and 1996 net
         income.  The Company  expected to  experience  start-up  losses for the
         first several years of operation.

         Liquidity

         For banks,  liquidity  represents the ability to meet both  withdrawals
         from  deposits  and the funding of loans.  The assets that  provide for
         liquidity  are cash,  federal  funds  sold,  and short  term  loans and
         securities.  Liquidity  needs are  influenced  by economic  conditions,
         interest rates and competition.  Securities that are available for sale
         in the  Company's  portfolio  can be  readily  converted  to  cash  if
         necessary.  Management  believes  that  current  liquidity  levels  are
         sufficient to meet  foreseeable  future demands.  Net cash inflows from
         operating  activities  provided cash of  $4,662,006  for the year ended
         June 30, 1997  compared to $836,093  for the year ended June 30,  1996.
         The improvement in cash flow during the year resulted primarily from an
         increase  in other  liabilities  at  Bancard.  Net cash  outflows  from
         investing  activities  totaled  $55,342,269 for the year ended June 30,
         1997,  compared to cash outflows of $28,261,786 for the year ended June
         30, 1996.  The net outflows of cash were  largely  associated  with the
         growth  in  the  loan  portfolio.   Net  cash  inflows  from  financing
         activities  totaled  $51,018,319  for the year  ended  June  30,  1997,
         compared  to cash  inflows of  $30,210,830  for the year ended June 30,
         1996.  The  components of the net cash inflows were  primarily from the
         growth of deposit accounts as well as the increase in FHLB advances and
         other borrowings.

         Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

         Unlike most  industries,  essentially all of the assets and liabilities
         of a bank are monetary in nature. As such, the level of prices has less
         of an effect than do interest  rates.  Prices and interest rates do not
         always move in the same direction.  The Company's financial  statements
         and notes are generally prepared in terms of historical dollars without
         considering the changes in the relative  purchasing power of money over
         time due to inflation.

         Impact of New Accounting Standards

         The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has issued  the  following
         statements:  SFAS No. 125,  "Accounting  for Transfers and Servicing of
         Financial  Assets and  Extinguishment  of  Liabilities";  SFAS No. 127,
         "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain  Provisions of Statement No.
         125";  SFAS No.  128,  "Earnings  per Share";  SFAS No. 130  "Reporting
         Comprehensive  Income"; and SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of
         an Enterprise  and Related  Information".  All of these  statements are
         discussed in footnote 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 1.  Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

         Nature of business:

           Quad City Holdings,  Inc. (the  "Company") is a bank holding  company
           providing bank and bank related  services  through its  subsidiaries,
           Quad City Bank and Trust  Company (the "Bank") and Quad City Bancard,
           Inc. ("Bancard").  The Bank is a commercial bank that serves the Quad
           Cities area,  is  chartered  and  regulated by the state of Iowa,  is
           insured and subject to  regulation by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance
           Corporation  and is a member of and regulated by the Federal  Reserve
           System.  Bancard is an entity  formed in April  1995 to  conduct  the
           Company s merchant credit card operation and is also regulated by the
           Federal Reserve System. This activity was previously conducted by the
           Bank.

         Significant accounting policies:

           Accounting estimates:

             The   preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with
             generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to
             make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported amount of
             assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure of  contingent  assets and
             liabilities  at  the  date  of the  financial  statements  and  the
             reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses  during the  reporting
             period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

           Principals of consolidation:

             The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include the
             accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Bank
             and Bancard.  All material  intercompany  accounts and transactions
             have been eliminated in consolidation.

           Presentation of cash flows:

             For  purposes  of  reporting  cash  flows,  cash and due from banks
             includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks and  interest-bearing
             balances with other banks.  Cash flows from loans originated by the
             Bank,  deposits,  and federal funds purchased and sold are reported
             net.

           Investment securities:

             Investment  securities  held to maturity are those debt  securities
             that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until  maturity
             regardless  of changes  in market  conditions,  liquidity  needs or
             changes in general economic conditions. Such securities are carried
             at cost  adjusted for  amortization  of premiums  and  accretion of
             discounts.  If the  ability  or intent to hold to  maturity  is not
             present for  certain  specified  securities,  such  securities  are
             considered  available for sale as the Company  intends to hold them
             for an indefinite  period of time but not  necessarily to maturity.
             Any decision to sell a security  classified  as available  for sale
             would be based on various factors,  including significant movements
             in interest  rates,  changes in the  maturity  mix of the Company's
             assets  and  liabilities,   liquidity  needs,   regulatory  capital
             considerations, and other similar factors. Securities available for
             sale are  carried  at fair  value.  Unrealized  gains or losses are
             reported as increases or decreases in stockholders' equity,  net of
             the  related  deferred  tax  effect.   Realized  gains  or  losses,
             determined  on the basis of the cost of specific  securities  sold,
             are included in earnings.

             Pursuant to a FASB Special Report,  "A Guide to  Implementation  of
             Statement 115 on  Accounting  for Certain  Investments  in Debt and
             Equity   Securities,"   the  Company   transferred  at  fair  value
             $8,004,543  of  investment  securities  from  held to  maturity  to
             available for sale in December 1995.

           Loans held for sale:

             Mortgage  loans  originated  and intended for sale in the secondary
             market are carried at the lower of cost or  estimated  market value
             in the aggregate.
<PAGE>


           Loans and allowance for loan losses:

             Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid  principal,  reduced by an
             allowance  for  loan  losses.  The  allowance  for loan  losses  is
             maintained  at the level  considered  adequate by management of the
             Company and the Bank to provide  for losses that can be  reasonably
             anticipated.  The allowance is increased by  provisions  charged to
             expense and reduced by net charge-offs. In determining the adequacy
             of  the  allowance,  the  Company  and  the  Bank  make  continuous
             evaluations  of the loan  portfolio and related  off-balance  sheet
             commitments,  and consider  current  economic  conditions and other
             factors that may effect a borrower's ability to repay.

             In accordance  with FASB Statement No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors
             for  Impairment  of a Loan," loans are  considered  impaired  when,
             based on current information and events, it is probable the Company
             and the Bank  will not be able to  collect  all  amounts  due.  The
             portion of the allowance for loan losses  applicable to an impaired
             loan is computed based on the present value of the estimated future
             cash  flows of  interest  and  principal  discounted  at the loan s
             effective  interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for
             collateral  dependent  loans. The entire change in present value of
             expected  cash  flows of  impaired  loans is  reported  as bad debt
             expense  in the same  manner  in  which  impairment  initially  was
             recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad debt expense that
             otherwise  would be  reported.  The Company and the Bank  recognize
             interest income on impaired loans on an accrual basis.

           Premises and equipment:

             Premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  less   accumulated
             depreciation.   Depreciation   is   computed   primarily   by   the
             straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.

           Income taxes:

             The Company files its tax return on a  consolidated  basis with its
             subsidiaries.  The entities follow the direct  reimbursement method
             of accounting  for income taxes under which income taxes or credits
             which  result  from  the  inclusion  of  the  subsidiaries  in  the
             consolidated  tax  return are paid to or  received  from the parent
             company.

             Deferred taxes are provided on a liability  method whereby deferred
             tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary  differences and
             operating  loss  and tax  credit  carryforwards  and  deferred  tax
             liabilities  are  recognized  for  taxable  temporary  differences.
             Temporary  differences  are the  differences  between the  reported
             amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax
             assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
             management,  it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
             the deferred  tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets
             and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
             and rates on the date of enactment.

           Trust assets:

             Trust  assets  held by the Bank in  fiduciary,  agency  or  custody
             capacities  for its  customers,  other  than cash on deposit at the
             Bank,  are not included in the  accompanying  consolidated  balance
             sheets since such items are not assets of the Bank.

           Per share data:

             Earnings  per share is  arrived  at by  dividing  net income by the
             weighted  average number of shares of common stock and common stock
             equivalents outstanding for the respective period. The computations
             prior to June 30, 1996 were based on weighted average common shares
             outstanding  only,  as the  dilutive  effect  of the  common  stock
             equivalents was not material.

           Current accounting developments:

             The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 125,
             "Accounting  for Transfers  and  Servicing of Financial  Assets and
             Extinguishment  of Liabilities" and SFAS No. 127,  "Deferral of the
             Effective  Date of Certain  Provisions  of Statement No. 125." SFAS
             No. 125 provides  accounting and reporting  standards for transfers
             and   servicing  of  financial   assets  and   extinguishments   of
             liabilities  based on control of the underlying  financial  assets.
             The  provisions  of SFAS No. 125  applicable  to the  servicing  of
             financial  assets were  effective as of January 1, 1997. The impact
             of these  provisions on the consolidated  financial  statements was
             not material.  Other  provisions of SFAS No. 125,  including  those
             applicable to transfers of financial assets and  extinguishment  of
             liabilities  are  effective  as of January  1, 1998.  The impact of
             these  provisions on the consolidated  financial  statements is not
             expected to be material.

             The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 128,
             "Earnings  per  Share"  which   becomes   effective  for  financial
             statements  issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. This
             Statement   establishes  standards  for  computing  and  presenting
             earnings per share  ("EPS") and applies to entities  with  publicly
             held stock or potential common stock. This Statement simplifies the
             standards for computing  earnings per share previously found in APB
             Opinion No. 15,  "Earnings per Share," and makes them comparable to
             international  EPS  standards.  It  replaces  the  presentation  of
             primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual
             presentation  of basic and  diluted  EPS on the face of the  income
             statement  of all  entities  with complex  capital  structures  and
             requires a  reconciliation  of the numerator and denominator of the
             basic EPS  computation  to the  numerator  and  denominator  of the
             diluted EPS computation.  Management believes that adoption of this
             Statement  will  not have a  material  effect  on the  consolidated
             financial statements.

             The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board 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 in a full set of general-purpose  financial  statements.
             Management believes that adoption of this Statement will not have a
             material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

             The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board has issued SFAS No. 131
             "Disclosures   about   Segments  of  an   Enterprise   and  Related
             Information"  which is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after
             December 15, 1997. This Statement establishes standards for the way
             that public business enterprises report information about operating
             segments in annual  financial  statements  and requires  that those
             enterprises report selected information about operating segments in
             interim   financial   reports  issued  to  stockholders.   It  also
             establishes  standards for related  disclosures  about products and
             services,   geographic  areas,  and  major  customers.   Management
             believes that adoption of this  Statement  will not have a material
             effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Continued

        Impaired loans were not material at June 30, 1997 and 1996.

        Loans are made in the normal course of business to  directors,  officers
        and  their  related  interests.  The  terms  of these  loans,  including
        interest  rates and  collateral,  are  similar to those  prevailing  for
        comparable  transactions with other persons.  An analysis of the changes
        in the  aggregate  amount of these loans during the years ended June 30,
        1997 and 1996 is as follows:

Note 11. Warrants and Options

         Warrants

         As part of the underwriting  agreement for its initial public offering,
         the Company  issued  warrants to the  underwriters  for the purchase of
         25,000  shares of common  stock at $12.00 per share.  The  underwriters
         exercised  all of the  warrants  on May 6, 1997.  The  warrants  became
         exercisable on October 13, 1994 (the date  commencing one year from the
         date of the public offering) and would have remained  exercisable for a
         period of four years after such date.

         Common stock of $75,000 at June 30, 1993  represented  75,000 shares of
         the Company's common stock issued in a private  placement in 1993. Each
         stockholder  who purchased  stock in the private  placement  received a
         unit (at a price of $10.00 per unit)  which  consisted  of one share of
         the Company s common  stock and one  warrant to purchase an  additional
         share of Company  common  stock for $11.00,  exercisable  during a five
         year period  commencing  October 13, 1994 (one year after completion of
         the  public  offering).  As of  June  30,  1997,  none  of the  private
         placement warrants had been exercised.

         Stock Option and Incentive Plans

         The Company's Board of Directors and its stockholders  adopted in June,
         1993 the Quad City Holdings,  Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option
         Plan"). Up to 100,000 shares of common stock may be issued to employees
         and  directors  of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries  pursuant to the
         exercise of incentive  stock  options or  non-qualified  stock  options
         granted  under the Stock Option Plan.  The Company's Board of Directors
         adopted  in  November,  1996 the Quad City  Holdings,  Inc.  1997 Stock
         Incentive  Plan (the "Stock  Incentive  Plan").  Up to 40,000 shares of
         common  stock may be issued to employees  and  directors of the Company
         and its subsidiaries  pursuant to the exercise of  non-qualified  stock
         options,  stock appreciation  rights and restricted stock granted under
         the Stock Incentive Plan. The Stock Option Plan and the Stock Incentive
         Plan are  administered by the compensation  committee  appointed by the
         Board of Directors (the "Committee").

         The number and exercise price of options granted under the Stock Option
         Plan and the Stock Incentive Plan is determined by the Committee at the
         time the option is granted.  In no event can the exercise price be less
         than  the  value of the  common  stock  at the  date of the  grant  for
         incentive stock options.  The stock options will generally vest 20% per
         year.  The term of an  incentive  stock  option may not exceed 10 years
         from the date of the grant.

         In the case of non-qualified  stock options,  the Stock Option Plan and
         the Stock  Incentive  Plan  provide for the  granting  of "Tax  Benefit
         Rights" to certain  participants at the same time as these participants
         are awarded  non-qualified  options.  Each Tax Benefit Right entitles a
         participant  to a cash  payment  equal to the excess of the fair market
         value of a share of common stock on the exercise date over the exercise
         price of the related option  multiplied by the  difference  between the
         rate of tax on ordinary  income  over the rate of tax on capital  gains
         (federal and state).
<PAGE>


         As permitted under generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  grants
         under  the plan are  accounted  for  following  the  provisions  of APB
         Opinion  No.  25  and  its  related  interpretations.  Accordingly,  no
         compensation  cost has been  recognized  for grants  made to date.  Had
         compensation  cost  been  determined  based  on the fair  value  method
         prescribed in FASB Statement No. 123,  reported net income and earnings
         per share  would not have  changed by a  material  amount for the years
         ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

         In determining compensation cost using the fair value method prescribed
         in Statement No. 123, the value of each grant is estimated at the grant
         date with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants in 1997
         and 1996:  dividend  rate of 0%:  risk-free  interest  rates based upon
         current rates at the date of grant (6.3 to 7.9%):  expected lives of 10
         years, and expected price volatility of 14% to 16%.

         A summary of the stock option plans at June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and
         changes during the years ended on those dates is presented as follows:

Note 12.   Preferred Stock

           In  December  1996,  the  Company  issued  10  shares  of  Perpetual,
           Nonvoting  Preferred  Stock,  Series  A (the  "Preferred  Stock")  at
           $100,000  per share for net  proceeds of  $1,000,000.  The  Preferred
           Stock will accrue no dividends, nor will it carry any stated dividend
           rate. After the first  anniversary of the issuance of these shares of
           Preferred  Stock,  subject to all required  regulatory  approvals and
           upon a thirty day  notice,  the  Company  can redeem all  outstanding
           Preferred  Stock. The Preferred Stock shall be redeemed for an amount
           per share in cash  which is equal to the sum of: (i)  $100,000;  plus
           (ii) a premium in the amount of $9,750 multiplied by a fraction,  the
           numerator of which is the total number of calendar days the Preferred
           Stock being  redeemed has been  outstanding  and the  denominator  of
           which is 365.

           All shares of  Preferred  Stock  which have been issued are senior to
           common stock as to dividends,  liquidation and redemption rights, but
           they do not confer general voting rights.

Note 13.   Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions on Dividends

           Federal  regulatory  agencies have adopted various capital  standards
           for financial  institutions,  including risk-based capital standards.
           The primary  objectives of the  risk-based  capital  framework are to
           provide a more consistent  system for comparing  capital positions of
           financial  institutions  and to take into account the different risks
           among financial institutions' assets and off-balance sheet items.

           Risk-based capital standards have been supplemented with requirements
           for a minimum Tier 1 capital to average total assets ratio  (leverage
           ratio).  In addition,  regulatory  agencies  consider  the  published
           capital  levels  as  minimum  levels  and  may  require  a  financial
           institution to maintain capital at higher levels.

         The actual  amounts and  capital  ratios at June 30, 1997 and 1996 with
         the minimum requirements for the Bank are presented below:

</TABLE>

         Federal  Reserve  Board policy  provides  that a bank  holding  company
         should not pay  dividends  unless (i) the dividends can be fully funded
         out of net income from the company's net  earnings  over the prior year
         and (ii) the prospective rate of earnings  retention appears consistent
         with the company's (and its subsidiaries') capital needs, asset quality
         and overall financial condition.

         In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law restricts the Company
         from paying dividends  except out of its surplus,  or in the case there
         shall be no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in
         which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

         The Iowa Banking Act provides  that an Iowa bank may not pay  dividends
         in an amount greater than its undivided profits. In addition, the Bank,
         as a member of the Federal  Reserve  System,  will be  prohibited  from
         paying dividends to the extent such dividends  declared in any calendar
         year exceed the total of its net profits of that year combined with its
         retained  net  profits of the  preceding  two years,  or are  otherwise
         determined  to be an  "unsafe  and  unsound  practice"  by the  Federal
         Reserve Board.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

         In the normal course of business,  the Bank makes  various  commitments
         and incurs certain contingent liabilities that are not presented in the
         accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements.  The commitments and
         contingent  liabilities  include  various  guarantees,  commitments  to
         extend credit and standby letters of credit.

         Commitments  to extend  credit are  agreements to lend to a customer as
         long as there  is no  violation  of any  condition  established  in the
         contract.  Commitments  generally have fixed  expiration dates or other
         termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
         commitments  are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
         commitment   amounts  do  not   necessarily   represent   future   cash
         requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a
         case-by-case  basis.  The  amount  of  collateral  obtained,  if deemed
         necessary  by  the  Bank  upon  extension  of  credit,  is  based  upon
         management s credit  evaluation of the  counterparty.  Collateral  held
         varies but may include accounts receivable,  inventory, property, plant
         and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
<PAGE>


         Standby  letters  of  credit  and  financial   guarantees  written  are
         conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance
         of a customer to a third  party.  The credit  risk  involved in issuing
         letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending
         loan facilities to customers.

         At June 30, 1997,  commitments to extend credit aggregated  $26,318,470
         and standby letters of credit  aggregated  $993,000.  At June 30, 1996,
         commitments to extend credit aggregated $16,860,159 and standby letters
         of credit aggregated $1,428,301.

         Bancard is subject to the risk of chargebacks  from cardholders and the
         merchant  being   incapable  of  refunding  the  amount  charged  back.
         Management  attempts to  mitigate  such risk by regular  monitoring  of
         merchant  activity and in  appropriate  cases,  holding  cash  reserves
         deposited by the merchant.

         The   Company   also  has  a  guaranty  to   MasterCard   International
         Incorporated, which is backed up by a performance bond in the amount of
         $1,000,000. At June 30, 1997, there were no pending liabilities.

         Aside from cash  on-hand and  in-vault,  the  majority of the Company s
         cash is maintained at upstream correspondent banks. The total amount of
         cash on deposit and  certificates of deposit  exceeded  federal insured
         limits  by  $1,092,000   and  $126,000  at  June  30,  1997  and  1996,
         respectively.

         In the opinion of  management,  no material  risk of loss exists due to
         the financial condition of the upstream correspondent banks.

Note 17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         FASB  Statement  No. 107,  "Disclosures  about Fair Value of  Financial
         Instruments,"  requires  disclosure  of fair  value  information  about
         financial  instruments  for which it is  practicable  to estimate  that
         value.  When quoted  market prices are not  available,  fair values are
         based on  estimates  using  present  value or other  techniques.  Those
         techniques  are   significantly   affected  by  the  assumptions  used,
         including the discounted  rates and estimates of future cash flows.  In
         this regard, fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison
         to independent  markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in an
         immediate  settlement.  Some financial instruments and all nonfinancial
         instruments are excluded from the disclosures. The aggregate fair value
         amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

         The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were used by the  Company in
         estimating the fair value of their financial instruments:

         Cash and due from  banks,  federal  funds  sold,  and  certificates  of
         deposit:  The carrying  amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash
         and due from banks,  federal funds sold,  and  certificates  of deposit
         approximate their fair values.

         Investment securities:  Fair values for investment securities are based
         on quoted market prices,  where available.  If quoted market prices are
         not  available,  fair  values  are  based on  quoted  market  prices of
         comparable instruments.

         Loans receivable:  The fair values for all types of loans are estimated
         using  discounted  cash flow analysis,  using interest rates  currently
         being  offered for loans with similar  terms to borrowers  with similar
         credit quality.

         Accrued  interest  receivable:  The  fair  value  of  accrued  interest
         receivable is considered to approximate its carrying value.

         Deposits:  The fair values  disclosed for demand  deposits  equal their
         carrying  amounts which  represents the amount payable on demand.  Fair
         values for time  deposits  are  estimated  using a  discount  cash flow
         calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on time
         deposits to a schedule of  aggregated  expected  monthly  maturities on
         time deposits.

         Short-term  borrowings:  The  carrying  amount  reported in the balance
         sheets for short-term borrowings approximates its fair value.

         Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  advances:  The fair  value of the  Company's
         Federal Home Loan Bank advances is estimated using discounted cash flow
         analysis,  based on the Company's current  incremental  borrowing rates
         for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

         Other  borrowings:  For variable  rate debt,  the carrying  amount is a
         reasonable estimate of fair value.

         Accrued interest payable: The fair value of accrued interest payable is
         considered to approximate its carrying value.

         Commitments  to  extend  credit:  The  fair  value  of  these  unfunded
         commitments is not material.

                           SUPERVISION AND REGULATION


General

Financial  institutions  and their holding  companies are extensively  regulated
under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings performance of
the  Company  can be  affected  not only by  management  decisions  and  general
economic  conditions,  but also by the  requirements  of  applicable  state  and
federal  statutes  and  regulations  and the  policies  of various  governmental
regulatory authorities including, but not limited to, the Iowa Superintendent of
Banking (the  "Superintendent"),  the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation
(the "FDIC"),  the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities and the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC").  The effect of such statutes,
regulations and policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high
degree of certainty.

Federal  and  state  laws and  regulations  generally  applicable  to  financial
institutions,  such as the Company and its subsidiaries,  regulate,  among other
things, the scope of business,  investments,  reserves against deposits, capital
levels  relative to  operations,  the nature and amount of collateral for loans,
the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system
of  supervision  and regulation  applicable to the Company and its  subsidiaries
establishes a  comprehensive  framework for their  respective  operations and is
intended  primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance funds and
the depositors, rather than the shareholders, of financial institutions.

The following  references  to material  statutes and  regulations  affecting the
Company and its subsidiaries  are brief summaries  thereof and do not purport to
be complete,  and are qualified in their  entirety by reference to such statutes
and regulations. Any change in applicable law or regulations may have a material
effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Recent Regulatory Developments

Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996. On September 30,
1996,  President  Clinton  signed into law the "Economic  Growth and  Regulatory
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996" (the "Regulatory Reduction Act"). Subtitle G of
the  Regulatory  Reduction Act consists of the "Deposit  Insurance  Funds Act of
1996" (the "DIFA").  The DIFA provides for a one-time special assessment on each
depository  institution  holding  deposits subject to assessment by the FDIC for
the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") in an amount which, in the
aggregate,  will increase the  designated  reserve ratio of the SAIF (i.e.,  the
ratio of the insurance reserves of the SAIF to total  SAIF-insured  deposits) to
1.25% on October 1, 1996. Subject to certain exceptions,  the special assessment
was  payable in full on November  27,  1996.  The Bank holds no  SAIF-assessable
deposits and, therefore, was not subject to the special assessment.

Prior to the enactment of the DIFA, a substantial  amount of the SAIF assessment
revenue  was used to pay the  interest  due on  bonds  issued  by the  Financing
Corporation   (the  "FICO"),   the  entity   created  in  1987  to  finance  the
recapitalization  of the Federal  Savings and Loan  Insurance  Corporation  (the
"FSLIC"),  the SAIF's  predecessor  insurance  fund.  Pursuant to the DIFA,  the
interest due on outstanding  FICO bonds will be covered by  assessments  against
both SAIF and BIF member institutions beginning January 1, 1997. Between January
1, 1997 and December 31, 1999, FICO assessments against BIF-member  institutions
cannot exceed 20% of the FICO assessments charged SAIF-member institutions. From
January 1, 2000 until the FICO bonds mature in 2019,  FICO  assessments  will be
shared by all FDIC-insured institutions on a pro rata basis. It is expected that
the FICO  assessments  for the period January 1, 1997 through  December 31, 1999
will be  approximately  0.013% of deposits for BIF members versus  approximately
0.064% of deposits  for SAIF  members,  and will be less than 0.025% of deposits
thereafter.



<PAGE>

The DIFA also  provides for a merger of the BIF and the SAIF on January 1, 1999,
provided  there  are no  state  or  federally  chartered,  FDIC-insured  savings
associations existing on that date.

In addition  to the DIFA,  the  Regulatory  Reduction  Act  includes a number of
statutory  changes designed to eliminate  duplicative,  redundant or unnecessary
regulatory  requirements.  Among other  things,  the  Regulatory  Reduction  Act
establishes streamlined notice procedures for the commencement of new nonbanking
activities by bank holding  companies,  establishes time frames within which the
FDIC must act on  applications  by state  banks to engage in  activities  which,
although  permitted  for  state  banks  under  applicable  state  law,  are  not
permissible activities for national banks, and excludes ATM closures and certain
branch office  relocations from the requirements  applicable to branch closings.
The  Regulatory  Reduction  Act also  clarifies  the  liability  of a  financial
institution,  when  acting as a lender  or in a  fiduciary  capacity,  under the
federal environmental laws. Although the full impact of the Regulatory Reduction
Act on the  operations  of the Company and the Bank cannot be determined at this
time,  management  believes that the legislation may reduce  compliance costs to
some  extent  and allow the  Company  and the Bank  somewhat  greater  operating
flexibility.

Pending  Legislation.  The Committee on Banking and Financial Services of the U.
S. House of  Representatives  has  approved  legislation  that would  allow bank
holding companies to engage in a wider range of nonbanking activities, including
greater authority to engage in securities and insurance activities. The expanded
powers  generally  would be available to a bank holding company only if the bank
holding  company  and  its  bank  subsidiaries   remain   well-capitalized   and
well-managed, and if each of the depository institution subsidiaries of the bank
holding  company  had  received  at  least a  "satisfactory"  rating  under  the
Community  Reinvestment Act. The proposed  legislation would also impose various
restrictions on transactions between the depository institution  subsidiaries of
bank holding  companies and their nonbank  affiliates.  These  restrictions  are
intended  to  protect  the  depository  institutions  from the  risks of the new
nonbanking activities permitted to such affiliates. At this time, the Company is
unable  to  predict  whether  the  proposed  legislation  will be  enacted  and,
therefore,  is unable to predict  the impact  such  legislation  may have on the
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company

General.  The Company,  as the sole  shareholder  of the Bank, is a bank holding
company.  As a bank holding  company,  the Company is  registered  with,  and is
subject to  regulation  by, the Federal  Reserve  Board  under the Bank  Holding
Company Act, as amended (the "BHCA").  In accordance  with Federal Reserve Board
policy,  the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the
Bank and to commit  resources  to support  the Bank in  circumstances  where the
Company  might not do so absent  such  policy.  Under the BHCA,  the  Company is
subject to periodic  examination by the Federal Reserve Board and is required to
file with the Federal Reserve Board periodic  reports of its operations and such
additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require.

Investments and  Activities.  Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain
Federal Reserve Board approval  before:  (i) acquiring,  directly or indirectly,
ownership  or  control  of any voting  shares of  another  bank or bank  holding
company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such
shares  (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such  shares);  (ii)
acquiring  all or  substantially  all of the  assets of another  bank;  or (iii)
merging or consolidating  with another bank holding company.  Subject to certain
conditions  (including certain deposit  concentration  limits established by the
BHCA),  the Federal  Reserve  Board may allow a bank holding  company to acquire
banks  located in any state of the United States  without  regard to whether the
acquisition  is  prohibited  by the law of the state in which the target bank is
located.  In approving  interstate  acquisitions,  however,  the Federal Reserve
Board is required  to give effect to  applicable  state law  limitations  on the
aggregate  amount of deposits  that may be held by the  acquiring  bank  holding
company and its insured depository  institution affiliates in the state in which
the target  bank is located or which  require  that the target bank have been in
existence  for a minimum  period of time (not to exceed five years) before being
acquired by an out-of-state bank holding company.

The BHCA also  prohibits,  with certain  exceptions,  the Company from acquiring
direct or indirect  ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of
any company  which is not a bank and from  engaging in any  business  other than
that of banking,  managing and controlling banks or furnishing services to banks
and their subsidiaries.  The principal exception to this prohibition allows bank
holding  companies  to engage  in, and to own shares of  companies  engaged  in,
certain  businesses found by the Federal Reserve Board to be "so closely related
to banking ... as to be a proper incident thereto." Under current regulations of
the  Federal  Reserve  Board,  the  Company and its  non-bank  subsidiaries  are
permitted to engage in, among other activities,  such banking-related businesses
as the operation of a thrift, sales and consumer finance, equipment leasing, the
operation of a computer  service bureau,  including  software  development,  and
mortgage  banking and brokerage.  The BHCA generally does not place  territorial
restrictions  on  the  activities  of  non-bank  subsidiaries  of  bank  holding
companies.
<PAGE>

Federal  legislation  also prohibits  acquisition of "control" of a bank or bank
holding  company,  such as the Company,  without prior notice to certain federal
bank regulators.  "Control" is defined in certain cases as acquisition of 10% of
the outstanding shares of a bank or bank holding company.

Capital  Requirements.  Bank holding  companies are required to maintain minimum
levels of capital in accordance  with Federal  Reserve  Board  capital  adequacy
guidelines.  If capital falls below  minimum  guideline  levels,  a bank holding
company,  among other  things,  may be denied  approval to acquire or  establish
additional banks or non-bank businesses.

The Federal Reserve Board's capital  guidelines  establish the following minimum
regulatory  capital  requirements  for  bank  holding  companies:  a  risk-based
requirement  expressed  as a percentage  of total  risk-weighted  assets,  and a
leverage  requirement  expressed as a percentage of total assets. The risk-based
requirement  consists of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted
assets of 8%, of which at least  one-half  must be Tier 1 capital.  The leverage
requirement  consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3%
for the most highly rated companies,  with minimum  requirements of 4% to 5% for
all others.  For purposes of these capital  standards,  Tier 1 capital  consists
primarily of permanent  stockholders'  equity less intangible assets (other than
certain mortgage  servicing rights and purchased credit card  relationships) and
total  capital  means  Tier  1  capital  plus  certain  other  debt  and  equity
instruments  which  do not  qualify  as  Tier 1  capital  and a  portion  of the
company's allowance for loan and lease losses.

The risk-based and leverage standards described above are minimum  requirements,
and higher  capital  levels  will be  required if  warranted  by the  particular
circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations. Further, any
banking  organization  experiencing or anticipating  significant growth would be
expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions (i.e.,
Tier 1 capital less all intangible assets), well above the minimum levels.

Under the Federal Reserve Board's  guidelines,  the capital standards  described
above  generally  apply on a consolidated  basis to bank holding  companies that
have more than $150  million in total  consolidated  assets  and on a  bank-only
basis to bank  holding  companies  that,  have less than $150  million  in total
consolidated assets.

Dividends.  The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy  statement with regard
to the  payment  of cash  dividends  by bank  holding  companies.  In the policy
statement,  the Federal  Reserve  Board  expressed  its view that a bank holding
company should not pay cash dividends exceeding its net income or which can only
be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding company's  financial health, such
as by borrowing.  Additionally,  the Federal Reserve Board possesses enforcement
powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or
remedy  actions that  represent  unsafe or unsound  practices or  violations  of
applicable  statutes  and  regulations.  Among  these  powers is the  ability to
proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies.

In addition to the  restrictions on dividends that may be imposed by the Federal
Reserve Board, the Delaware  General  Corporation Law would allow the Company to
pay  dividends  only out of its surplus,  or if the Company has no such surplus,
out of its net  profits  for the fiscal  year in which the  dividend is declared
and/or the preceding fiscal year.

Federal Securities Regulation. The Company's common stock is registered with the
SEC under the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934,  as amended  (the  "Exchange  Act").  Consequently,  the Company is
subject  to the  information,  proxy  solicitation,  insider  trading  and other
restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.

The Bank

General.  The Bank is an Iowa-chartered  bank, the deposit accounts of which are
insured by the BIF of the FDIC. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve
System ("member bank"). As an Iowa-chartered, FDIC-insured member bank, the Bank
is  subject  to  the   examination,   supervision,   reporting  and  enforcement
requirements of the Superintendent,  as the chartering authority for Iowa banks,
the Federal Reserve Board, as the primary federal regulator of member banks, and
the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF.

Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured  institution,  the Bank is required to pay
deposit  insurance  premium  assessments  to the  FDIC.  The FDIC has  adopted a
risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are
placed into one of nine  categories and assessed  insurance  premiums based upon
their  respective  levels of capital  and  results of  supervisory  evaluations.
Institutions  classified  as  well-capitalized  (as  defined  by the  FDIC)  and
considered  healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than
adequately  capitalized  (as defined by the FDIC) and  considered of substantial
supervisory concern pay the highest premium.  Risk classification of all insured
institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.
<PAGE>

During the year ended June 30, 1997, BIF assessments  ranged from 0% of deposits
to 0.27% of deposits. The FDIC has announced that for the semi-annual assessment
period  beginning July 1, 1997, BIF assessment rates will continue to range from
0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits.

The  FDIC  may  terminate  the  deposit  insurance  of  any  insured  depository
institution if the FDIC  determines,  after a hearing,  that the institution has
engaged  or is  engaging  in unsafe  or  unsound  practices,  is in an unsafe or
unsound  condition to continue  operations or has violated any  applicable  law,
regulation,  order, or any condition imposed in writing by, or written agreement
with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance  temporarily  during
the hearing process for a permanent  termination of insurance if the institution
has no tangible capital.  Management of the Company is not aware of any activity
or condition that could result in  termination  of the deposit  insurance of the
Bank.

FICO  Assessments.  Since 1987, a portion of the deposit  insurance  assessments
paid by SAIF  members  has  been  used to  cover  interest  payments  due on the
outstanding  obligations  of  the  FICO,  the  entity  created  to  finance  the
recapitalization  of the FSLIC, the SAIF's predecessor  insurance fund. Pursuant
to federal legislation  enacted September 30, 1996,  commencing January 1, 1997,
both SAIF  members and BIF members will be subject to  assessments  to cover the
interest payment on outstanding FICO obligations.  Such FICO assessments will be
in addition to amounts assessed by the FDIC for deposit insurance. Until January
1, 2000, the FICO assessments made against BIF members may not exceed 20% of the
amount of the FICO  assessments  made against SAIF members.  It is expected that
SAIF members  will pay FICO  assessments  equal to 0.064% of deposits  while BIF
members will pay FICO assessments  equal to 0.013% of deposits.  Between January
1, 2000 and the  maturity  of the  outstanding  FICO  obligations  in 2019,  BIF
members and SAIF  members  will share the cost of the interest on the FICO bonds
on a pro rata basis.  It is expected  that FICO  assessments  during this period
will be less than 0.025% of deposits.

Capital  Requirements.  The Federal  Reserve Board has established the following
minimum  capital  standards for  state-chartered  Federal  Reserve System member
banks, such as the Bank: a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of
Tier 1  capital  to total  assets  of 3% for the most  highly-rated  banks  with
minimum  requirements  of 4% to 5% for  all  others,  and a  risk-based  capital
requirement   consisting   of  a  minimum   ratio  of  total  capital  to  total
risk-weighted  assets of 8%, at least  one-half of which must be Tier 1 capital.
For  purposes  of these  capital  standards,  Tier 1 capital  and total  capital
consist of substantially the same components as Tier 1 capital and total capital
under the Federal Reserve Board's capital  guidelines for bank holding companies
(see "--The Company--Capital Requirements").

The  capital  requirements  described  above are  minimum  requirements.  Higher
capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular  circumstances or
risk profiles of individual  institutions.  For example,  the regulations of the
Federal  Reserve Board provide that  additional  capital may be required to take
adequate account of interest rate risk or the risks posed by  concentrations  of
credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities.

During the year  ended June 30,  1997,  the Bank met all  applicable  regulatory
capital requirements.

Federal law provides  the federal  banking  regulators  with broad power to take
prompt   corrective   action  to  resolve  the   problems  of   undercapitalized
institutions.  The extent of the  regulators'  powers  depends  on  whether  the
institution  in  question  is  "well  capitalized,"   "adequately  capitalized,"
"undercapitalized,"     "significantly    undercapitalized"    or    "critically
undercapitalized."  Depending upon the capital  category to which an institution
is assigned, the regulators' corrective powers include: requiring the submission
of a capital  restoration plan;  placing limits on asset growth and restrictions
on  activities;  requiring the  institution  to issue  additional  capital stock
(including additional voting stock) or to be acquired;  restricting transactions
with  affiliates;  restricting  the  interest  rate the  institution  may pay on
deposits;  ordering a new election of directors  of the  institution;  requiring
that senior  executive  officers or  directors  be  dismissed;  prohibiting  the
institution  from accepting  deposits from  correspondent  banks;  requiring the
institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal
or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately,  appointing a receiver for the
institution.

Dividends. The Iowa Banking Act provides that an Iowa bank may not pay dividends
in an amount  greater  than its  undivided  profits.  In  addition,  the Federal
Reserve Act imposes limitations on the amount of dividends that may be paid by a
state member bank, such as the Bank. Generally,  a member bank may pay dividends
out of its  undivided  profits,  in such amounts and at such times as the bank's
board of directors deems prudent.  Without prior Federal Reserve Board approval,
however,  a state member bank may not pay  dividends in any calendar  year which
exceed the bank's  calendar  year-to-date  net income  plus the bank's  adjusted
retained net income for the two preceding calendar years.
<PAGE>

Insider Transactions. The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the
Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to the Company and its subsidiaries,
on  investments  in the  stock  or  other  securities  of the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries  and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company
or its subsidiaries as collateral for loans.  Certain  limitations and reporting
requirements  are  also  placed  on  extensions  of  credit  by the  Bank to its
directors  and  officers,  to  directors  and  officers  of the  Company and its
subsidiaries,  to  principal  stockholders  of  the  Company,  and  to  "related
interests" of such directors,  officers and principal stockholders. In addition,
such  legislation  and  regulations  may  affect the terms upon which any person
becoming a director  or officer of the Company or one of its  subsidiaries  or a
principal stockholder of the Company may obtain credit from banks with which the
Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.




<PAGE>


Safety and Soundness Standards. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted guidelines
which establish  operational and managerial  standards to promote the safety and
soundness of state member banks. The guidelines set forth standards for internal
controls,  information  systems,  internal  audit systems,  loan  documentation,
credit underwriting,  interest rate exposure, asset growth,  compensation,  fees
and benefits,  asset quality and earnings.  In general, the guidelines prescribe
the goals to be achieved in each area, and each  institution is responsible  for
establishing its own procedures to achieve those goals. If an institution  fails
to comply with any of the  standards  set forth in the  guidelines,  the Federal
Reserve  Board may require the  institution  to submit a plan for  achieving and
maintaining  compliance.  The preamble to the guidelines states that the Federal
Reserve Board  expects to require a compliance  plan from an  institution  whose
failure to meet one or more of the  guidelines is of such severity that it could
threaten  the  safety and  soundness  of the  institution.  Failure to submit an
acceptable  plan, or failure to comply with a plan that has been accepted by the
Federal Reserve Board, would constitute grounds for further enforcement action.

Branching  Authority.  Iowa law strictly  regulates  the  establishment  of bank
offices.  Under Iowa law, a state bank may not  establish a bank office  outside
the  boundaries of the counties  contiguous  to or cornering  upon the county in
which the principal  place of business of the state bank is located.  The number
of offices a state  bank may  establish  in a  particular  municipality  is also
limited depending upon the municipality's population.

Effective June 1, 1997 (or earlier if expressly  authorized by applicable  state
law), the Riegle-Neal  Interstate  Banking and Branching  Efficiency Act of 1994
(the  "Riegle-Neal  Act") allows banks to establish  interstate  branch networks
through  acquisitions of other banks,  subject to certain conditions,  including
certain  limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the
surviving bank and all of its insured  depository  institution  affiliates.  The
establishment  of de novo  interstate  branches or the acquisition of individual
branches  of a  bank  in  another  state  (rather  than  the  acquisition  of an
out-of-state  bank in its  entirety) is allowed by the  Riegle-Neal  Act only if
specifically  authorized by state law. The legislation  allows individual states
to  "opt-out"  of  certain   provisions  of  the  Riegle-Neal  Act  by  enacting
appropriate  legislation  prior to June 1, 1997.  Iowa has  enacted  legislation
permitting  interstate  mergers  beginning  on  June  1,  1997,  subject  to the
condition that any Iowa bank to be acquired by an out-of-state  institution have
been in existence for at least five years prior to the merger.

State Bank  Activities.  Under  federal law and FDIC  regulations,  FDIC insured
state  banks are  prohibited,  subject to  certain  exceptions,  from  making or
retaining  equity  investments  of a  type,  or  in  an  amount,  that  are  not
permissible for a national bank.  Federal law and FDIC regulations also prohibit
FDIC insured state banks and their subsidiaries,  subject to certain exceptions,
from  engaging as principal in any activity that is not permitted for a national
bank or its subsidiary,  respectively,  unless the bank meets,  and continues to
meet, its minimum  regulatory  capital  requirements and the FDIC determines the
activity  would not pose a  significant  risk to the deposit  insurance  fund of
which the bank is a member.  Impermissible  investments  and activities  must be
divested or  discontinued  within  certain  time  frames set by the FDIC.  These
restrictions  have not had, and are not  currently  expected to have, a material
impact on the operations of the Bank.
<PAGE>

Federal  Reserve  System.  Federal  Reserve Board  regulations,  as presently in
effect,  require  depository   institutions  to  maintain  non-interest  earning
reserves against their transaction  accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking
accounts),  as follows:  for transaction  accounts  aggregating $49.3 million or
less,  the reserve  requirement  is 3% of total  transaction  accounts;  and for
transaction  accounts  aggregating  in  excess  of $49.3  million,  the  reserve
requirement  is  $1.479  million  plus  10% of the  aggregate  amount  of  total
transaction  accounts  in excess of $49.3  million.  The first  $4.4  million of
otherwise reservable balances are exempted from the reserve requirements.  These
reserve  requirements  are subject to annual  adjustment by the Federal  Reserve
Board. The Bank is in compliance with the foregoing requirements.

Monetary Policy and Economic Conditions

The earnings of bank holding  companies and their  subsidiary banks are affected
by general economic  conditions and also by the fiscal and monetary  policies of
federal regulatory  agencies,  including the Federal Reserve Board. Through open
market  transactions,  variations in the discount rate and the  establishment of
reserve  requirements,  the Federal Reserve Board exerts considerable  influence
over short and long term interest  rates and thus the cost and  availability  of
funds  obtainable  for  lending or  investing.  While the Bank could be severely
impacted by a  significant  increase in interest  rates over a relatively  short
period of time, the Bank intends to manage carefully its interest rate risk.

The above  monetary and fiscal  policies have affected the operating  results of

    C.  Risk Elements.

             The policy of the Company is to place a loan on  nonaccrual  status
             if: (a) payment in full of interest or principal  is not  expected,
             or (b) principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90
             days or more  unless  the  obligation  is  both in the  process  of
             collection and well secured.  Well secured is defined as collateral
             with  sufficient  market value to repay  principal  and all accrued
             interest.  A debt is in the process of  collection if collection of
             the debt is proceeding  in due course either  through legal action,
             including  judgment  enforcement  procedures,   or  in  appropriate
             circumstances,  through  collection  efforts  not  involving  legal
             action which are reasonably  expected to result in repayment of the
             debt or in its restoration to current status.

         2.  Potential Problem Loans. To management s best knowledge,  there are
             no such significant loans that have not been disclosed in the above
             table.

         3.  Foreign Outstandings. None

         4.  Loan Concentrations. No individual real estate property or mortgage
             amounts to 10% or more of consolidated assets.

     D.  Other Interest Earning Assets.

     There are no interest bearing assets required to be disclosed here.
