MID-WISCONSIN FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - General

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

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and,
therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted or
abbreviated. The information contained in the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes in the Company's 2002 annual report on Form 10-K,
should be referred to in connection with the reading of these unaudited interim
financial statements.

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

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options.

Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per share:



Three Months Ended March 31,
2003 2002
(In thousands, except per share data)

Net income available to common stockholders $966 $1,100
Weighted average shares outstanding 1,684 1,696
Effect of dilutive stock options outstanding 1 0
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 1,685 1,696
Basic earnings per common share $0.57 $0.65
Diluted earnings per common share $0.57 $0.65



Note 3 - Changes in Accounting Principle

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
prospectively to all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after
January 1, 2003. Awards under the Company's plans vest six months after the
grant date. The cost related to stock-based employee compensation included in
the determination of net income is recognized over the vesting period using a
straight line method. Prior to 2003, the Company accounted for those plans
under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in 2002 net income.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested
awards in each period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the
understanding and evaluation of the Company's financial condition and results
of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited financial
statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. Quarterly
comparisons reflect continued consistency of operations and do not reflect any
significant trends or events other than those noted in the comments.

Forward-looking statements have been made in this document that are subject to
risks and uncertainties. While the Company believes that these forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable assumptions, all such statements involve
risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from these contemplated in this report.

The assumptions, risks and uncertainties relating to the forward-looking
statements in this report include those described under the caption "Cautionary
Statements Regarding Forward Looking Information" in Part I of the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and, from time to time, in the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 decreased $110 thousand to $3.5 million from the comparable
quarter last year. The net interest margin was 4.02% at March 31, 2003, down
46 basis points from 4.48% from the comparable quarter last year.

As noted in Table 1 Summary Results of Operations, during the third quarter
2002 the net interest margin started to decline. Since 2001, the Company has
benefited from the declining interest rate environment as the liability
sensitive balance sheet has repriced at the lower rates faster than long-term
securities and loans. The decline in the net interest margin can be attributed
to the yield on loans falling more rapidly than the cost of rate sensitive
liabilities, a deposit product with increasing contractual repricing features,
and principal pay-downs on high yielding mortgage-backed securities. The net
interest margin is expected not to strengthen until interest rates begin to
increase.

The yield on average earning assets decreased 85 basis points to 6.11% compared
to 6.96% at March 31, 2002. Similarly, the cost of interest bearing
liabilities decreased 46 basis points to 2.45% from 2.91% at March 31, 2002.

Provision for Loan Losses

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is assessed based upon credit
quality, existing economic conditions and loss exposure by loan category.
Accordingly, the amount charged to expense is based on management's evaluation
of the loan portfolio. It is the Company's policy that when available
information confirms that specific loans and leases, or portions thereof,
including impaired loans, are uncollectible, those amounts are promptly charged
off against the allowance.

The provision for loan losses was $158 thousand for the quarter ended March 31,
2003, and $180 thousand for the comparable quarter in 2002. Net-charge offs to
average loans were 0.02% and 0.08% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and
2002. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans continues to
remain constant at 1.10% March 31, 2003 and 2002 and 1.06% at December 31,
2002. See additional discussion under section "Allowance for Loan Losses."

Total noninterest income $664 $615 $49 8.0%


Investment product commissions consist of annuity sales, brokerage services,
mutual fund sales, life insurance commissions, and self-directed IRA fees.
Investment product commissions increased $9 thousand or 16.4% between
comparable three-month periods ended March 31, 2003. The increase is due to
additional investment representatives and increased sales volume.

Other operating income increased $43 thousand or 24.3% to $220 thousand at
March 31, 2003. The Company sells long-term fixed rate mortgage loans to the
secondary market. Gain on sale of such loans was $88 thousand at March 31,
2003 compared to $28 thousand at March 31, 2002. During the first quarter 2002
the Company received a one-time stock dividend of $12 thousand from a regional
ATM network.

Salaries and employee benefits $1,407 $1,296 $111 8.6%

Other operating expenses 570 557 13 2.3%
Total noninterest expenses $2,476 $2,308 $168 7.3%


Increases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses were
influenced by the opening of an additional Bank branch during the first quarter
2003. The number of full time equivalent employees increased to 130 at March
31, 2003 from 125 during the comparable quarter last year.

Amortization of intangibles increased due to the systematic amortization method
used. Other operating expenses increased during first quarter 2003 due to
additional advertising campaigns in the Bank's new market areas.

Balance Sheet

At March 31, 2003, total assets were $361.8 million, an increase of $26.8
million over March 31, 2002, while assets decreased $6.3 million from December
31, 2002. Gross loans were $257.0 million at March 31, 2003, increasing $21.5
million over first quarter 2002 and increasing $1.2 million over year-end 2002.
Investment securities were $76.2 million at March 31, 2003, decreasing $2.9
million from March 31, 2002 and $89 thousand from December 31, 2002. The
decline in the investment portfolio was due primarily to principal pay-downs on
mortgage-backed securities. Deposits increased $25.5 million from March 31,
2002 and decreased $689 thousand from December 31, 2002 to $273.8 million at
March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2003 liquidity decreased $7.2 million, or 26.6%
from December 31, 2002. The majority of the liquidity was used to payoff
short-term borrowings which declined $5.8 million since December 31, 2002.

Total loans (including loans held for sale) $256,964 100.0% $235,451 100.0% $255,730 100.0%



While total loans continue to grow between time periods, agricultural and
installment loans have decreased over 4% from March 31, 2002. The Company has
tightened its credit standards and faces substantial competition from the Farm
Credit System and credit unions for such loans.

During the past year the Company has focused on writing adjustable rate loans
to match short-term liabilities in anticipation of the future interest rate
increases. The Company's loan demand for the first quarter 2003 has been slow
due to the present economy and winter season. There continues to be high
demand for loan refinancing of commercial and real estate loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The loan portfolio is the primary asset subject to credit risk. Credit risk is
controlled by detailed underwriting procedures, comprehensive loan
administration, and periodic review of borrowers' outstanding loans and
commitments.

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of an amount
adequate to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses is based on management's ongoing review and
grading of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, trends in past due
and nonperforming loans, and current economic conditions. The Company's
internal risk analysis staff continuously reviews loan quality.

It is the Company's policy that when available information confirms that
specific loans and leases, or portions thereof, including impaired loans, are
uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the allowance.
The decrease in charge offs between comparable periods is due to the charge off
of two large commercial loans during 2002.

In the opinion of management, the allowance for loan losses is adequate at
March 31, 2003. While management uses available information to recognize
losses on loans, future adjustments may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions.

Nonperforming Loans and Other Real Estate Owned

Nonperforming assets include loans that are contractually past due 90 days or
more as to interest or principal payments, on nonaccrual status, or
restructured loans where the terms have been modified, because of deteriorating
financial condition of the borrower, to provide for a reduction of either
interest or principal and other real estate owned.

A commercial loan is considered impaired when, based on current information, it
is probable that the Bank will not collect all amounts due in accordance with
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is based on discounted
cash flows of expected future payments using the loan's initial effective
interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. The decision of management to place loans in this category does not
necessarily mean that the Company expects losses to occur but that management
recognizes that a higher degree of risk is associated with these loans.


All interest accrued but not collected for loans (including applicable impaired
loans) that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed to interest
income.

The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis until qualifying
for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all
the principal and interest amounts contractually due have been collected and
there is reasonable assurance that repayment will continue within a reasonable
time frame.

Total nonperforming assets remained constant at $2.3 million at March 31, 2003
and 2002. Nonperforming assets increased $110 thousand to $2.3 million at
March 31, 2003 from $2.2 million at December 31, 2002, primarily because the
Company repossessed $90 thousand of foreclosed assets. During the first
quarter 2003 impaired loans decreased $633 thousand to $1.0 million from year-
end due to loan pay-offs, loan charge-offs, and loans taken off the impaired
loan list.

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the ability of the Company to generate adequate amounts of
cash to meet requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating
needs of the Company. Management views liquidity as the ability to raise
cash at a reasonable cost, or with a minimum of loss, and as a measure of
balance sheet flexibility to react to marketplace, regulatory and competitive
changes. Deposit growth is the primary source of liquidity. Retail consumer
deposits as a percentage of total funding sources were 80.7% at March 31, 2003
and 79.2% at March 31, 2002. Wholesale funding represents the balance of the
Company's total funding sources. The primary wholesale funding sources utilized
are Federal Home Loan Bank advances, federal funds purchased, repurchase
agreements from a base of individuals, businesses, and public entities, and
brokered CDs.

Capital

Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2003 increased $2.4 million to $32.7 million
from $30.3 million at March 31, 2002. The change in equity between the two
periods was primarily composed of the retention of earnings and the exercise of
stock options, with offsetting decreases to equity from the payment of
dividends. Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2003, included $1.2 million of
accumulated other comprehensive income, related to unrealized gains on
securities available-for-sale, net of the tax effect. At March 31, 2002
stockholders' equity included $583 thousand of accumulated other comprehensive
income, related to unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, net of
the tax effect.


Cash dividends of $0.22 per common share were paid each quarter ended March 31,
2003 and 2002.

The adequacy of the Company's capital is reviewed regularly to ensure
sufficient capital is available for current and future needs and is in
compliance with regulatory guidelines. As of March 31, 2003 the Company's
capital ratios were well in excess of regulatory minimums.

The following are the Company's risk based capital ratios for the previous five
quarters:
