PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Mid-Wisconsin Financial Services, Inc. ("Mid-Wisconsin") is a
registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,
as amended (the "BHCA"). Mid-Wisconsin's subsidiary operates under the name
"Mid-Wisconsin Bank" (the "Bank") and has its principal office in Medford,
Wisconsin. Except as may otherwise be noted, this annual report on Form
10-K describes the business of Mid-Wisconsin and the Bank as in effect on
December 31, 1996.
ACQUISITIONS
Mid-Wisconsin has a policy of continuously exploring opportunities for
the acquisition of additional bank subsidiaries so that, at any given time,
it may be engaged in some tentative preliminary discussions for such
purpose with officers, directors or principal shareholders of other holding
companies or banks. There are no plans, understandings, or arrangements,
written or oral, regarding other acquisitions as of the date hereof.
BUSINESS OF THE BANK
The day-to-day management of the Bank rests with its officers and
board of directors. The Bank is engaged in general commercial and retail
banking services, including trust services. The Bank serves individuals,
businesses and governmental units and offers all forms of commercial and
consumer lending, including lines of credit, term loans, real estate
financing and mortgage lending. In addition, the Bank provides a full
range of personal banking services, including checking accounts, savings
and time accounts, installment and other personal loans, as well as
mortgage loans. New services are frequently added to the Bank's retail
banking departments. The Bank and each of its branches, other than the
Ogema and Fairchild branches, have drive-in banking facilities.
Investment and brokerage services are offered to the Bank's customers
through its Investment Sales Centers.
Mid-Wisconsin furnishes management services to the Bank to supplement
its internal management and expand the banking services offered. Services
provided include advice and counsel concerning areas of banking policy,
employee benefit programs, and personnel development services.
Trust services are marketed to customers of the Bank through its Trust
Department located in the Medford office.
THE BANK
The Bank was incorporated on September 1, 1890, as a state bank under
the laws of Wisconsin. The Bank's principal office is located at 132 West
State Street, Medford, Wisconsin, 54451. The Bank's principal office and
branches in Medford, Ogema and Rib Lake, Wisconsin, provide various
commercial and consumer banking services for customers located principally
in Taylor County and portions of Price, Lincoln, Clark and Marathon
Counties, Wisconsin, within a range of 15 to 45 miles from its principal
office.
The Bank's principal branch offices are located at 101 South First
Street, Colby, Wisconsin, 54421 and at 500 West Street, Neillsville,
Wisconsin 54456. These branches provide commercial and consumer banking
services for customers located principally in the communities of Colby,
Abbotsford and Unity, all of the townships of Hull and Brighton, portions
of the townships of Holton, Johnson, Frankfort, Green Grove, Beaver, Eau
Pleine, Mayville and Hoard and the Neillsville market area.
The Bank has received approval from its regulators to open a branch
office in Phillips, Wisconsin. Plans are underway to construct a full
service facility with a scheduled opening date of July 1, 1997. This
branch will provide commercial and consumer banking services for customers
located principally in Price County.
As of December 31, 1996, the Bank had total assets of $251,282,084;
deposits of $206,645,213; and shareholders' equity of $21,363,648. Loans
outstanding as of December 31, 1996 were $174,841,989. No material portion
of the Bank's loans are concentrated within a single industry or customer.
BANK MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
The Bank has active competition for the services it offers in the
market area in which it presently operates. It competes in its market area
for commercial and individual deposits and loans with twenty-three other
commercial banks and five savings and loan associations, as well as with
national non-bank financial institutions. Such competition encompasses
efforts to obtain new deposits, efforts to attract assets for trust
management, types of services offered, loan rates, and interest rates paid
on time deposits, as well as other aspects of banking. The Bank maintains
correspondent banking relationships with larger financial institutions
located in Madison, Milwaukee, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Minneapolis,
Minnesota; and Chicago, Illinois. In addition, the Bank encounters
substantial competition from other financial institutions engaged in the
business of making loans or accepting savings deposits, such as savings and
loan associations, small loan companies, credit unions, certain
governmental agencies, and insurance companies.
The Bank is the second largest bank and financial institution within
its geographic market area.
EMPLOYEES
All officers of Mid-Wisconsin except the Chairman and the Vice-
President are full-time employees of the Bank. As of December 31, 1996,
the total employees of Mid-Wisconsin and its subsidiaries was approximately
105 on a full-time basis and 19 on a part-time basis. Officers and certain
supervisors are salaried, and all other full and part-time employees are
paid on an hourly basis. Employee relations are considered to be good and
none of the employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The executive officers of the Mid-Wisconsin as of March 1, 1997, their
ages, offices and principal occupation during the last five years are set
forth below.
James R. Peterson, 60
Chairman of the Board of the Company (since 1993) and Vice President,

James F. Melvin, 47
Vice Chairman of the Board of the Company and President of the Melvin

Executive Officer and a director of the Bank; previously, Vice

Ruth M. Zuleger, 58
Secretary and Treasurer of the Company; also Senior Vice President and
Cashier of the Bank.
Lucille T. Brandner, 58
Controller of the Company; also Senior Vice President of the Bank.
All executive officers are elected annually by the board of directors
at its annual meeting and hold office until the next annual meeting of the
board of directors, or until their respective successors are elected and
qualified.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
Mid-Wisconsin and the Bank are subject to regulation under both
federal and state law. The information given below consists of summaries
of certain, but not all statutory provisions which regulate Mid-Wisconsin's
business. These summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the statutory provisions.
Mid-Wisconsin is directly regulated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the "Board") pursuant to the BHCA and must file
reports on a periodic basis. Among other limitations imposed by the BHCA,
Mid-Wisconsin must obtain prior approval from the Board before acquiring
direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any bank or bank
holding company. The BHCA also regulates the entry by Mid-Wisconsin into a
business other than banking.
The deposits of the Bank are insured under the provisions of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, and the Bank is, therefore, subject to
regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"). As a Wisconsin chartered bank, the Bank and Mid-Wisconsin are
also subject to periodic examination and the regulations of the Wisconsin
Commissioner of Banking.
State and federal banking authorities regulate the Bank's capital
adequacy, loans and loan policies (including the extension of credit to
affiliates), payment of dividends, establishment of branch offices, mergers
and other acquisitions, management personnel, interlocking directors and
other aspects of the operation of the Bank. The Bank is subject to civil
fines, penalties or imposition of regulatory control for noncompliance with
applicable banking regulations and policies. Other financial institutions
with which the Bank competes, such as national banking associations,
savings and loan associations or credit unions, are subject to regulations
which are generally similar, but may be more or less restrictive in certain
areas or permit activities or practices unavailable to the Bank.
Banking laws and regulations have undergone periodic revisions which
often have a direct effect on the Bank's operations and its competitive
environment. Certain provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, for example, included a provision
setting the Bank's FDIC deposit insurance premiums at a level which
reflects certain risk factors, included immediate authority to acquire
healthy capital-impaired thrift institutions and eliminated cross-marketing
restrictions on bank holding companies which own thrift institutions. Some
of the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act of 1991, for example, contained substantial changes to the regulatory
framework previously in effect and imposed new standards on many areas of
bank operations, including additional deposit insurance premiums to
recapitalize the bank insurance fund. These increased premiums had a
significant effect on the Bank's earnings until these premiums returned to
levels closer to historical levels in 1995.
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of
1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") significantly expanded interstate banking
opportunities in Wisconsin. Under a Wisconsin law enacted in 1995 in
response to the Riegle-Neal Act, subject to certain exceptions for banks
which have not been in existence and in continuous operations for at least
five years, bank holding companies may acquire control of an existing or DE
NOVO bank in Wisconsin upon application and approval by the Division of
Banking Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions. Under the Riegle-
Neal Act, banks will also be permitted to operate interstate branches
beginning June 1, 1997. The effect of the new Wisconsin banking provisions
will be to increase the level of banking competition for the Bank by
broadening the impact of interstate banking within Wisconsin.
The activities and operations of Mid-Wisconsin and the Bank are
subject to a number of other federal and state laws and regulations,
including, among others, state usury and consumer credit laws, the
Truth-In-Lending Act and Regulation Z, Truth in Savings Act and Regulation
DD, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, the Fair Credit
Reporting Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, anti-redlining legislation
and the antitrust laws.
MONETARY POLICY
The earnings and growth of the Bank, and therefore Mid-Wisconsin, are
affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and
governmental agencies. The Board has broad power to expand and contract
the supply of money and credit and to regulate the rates which its member
banks can pay on time and savings deposits. These broad powers are used to
influence inflation and the growth of the economy and directly affect the
growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and may also affect the
interest rates charged by banks on loans paid by banks in respect of
deposits. Governmental and Board monetary policies have had a significant
effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are
expected to do so in the future. Management of Mid-Wisconsin is not able
to anticipate the future impact of such policies and practices on the
growth or profitability of Mid-Wisconsin.
CHANGES IN FEDERAL REGULATORY SCHEME
From time to time various formal or informal proposals, including new
legislation, relating to, among other things, additional changes with
respect to deposit insurance, permitted bank activities and restructuring
of the federal regulatory scheme have been made and may be made in the
future. Recent proposals or regulations concern expanded securities
activities for banks and accelerated approval procedures for acquisitions
by bank holding companies. Depending on the scope and timing of future
regulatory changes, it is possible that there may be a significant impact
in the future on the competitive circumstances which will affect Mid-
Wisconsin. At this time, Mid-Wisconsin is unable to predict whether any
such changes will be adopted or the effect of any such changes on its
future business or operations.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Mid-Wisconsin is not a party to any pending legal proceedings before
any court, administrative agency or other tribunal. Further, Mid-Wisconsin
is not aware of any litigation which is threatened against it in any court,
administrative agency or other tribunal.
The Bank is engaged in legal actions and proceedings, both as
plaintiffs and defendants, from time to time in the ordinary course of its
business. In some instances, such actions and proceedings involve
substantial claims for compensatory or punitive damages or involve claims
for an unspecified amount of damages. There are, however, presently no
proceedings pending or contemplated which, in the opinion of Mid-
Wisconsin's management, would have a material adverse effect on the
operations, liquidity or consolidated financial condition of the Bank or
Mid-Wisconsin.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following management's discussion and analysis reviews significant
factors with respect to Mid-Wisconsin's financial condition and results of
operation at and for the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, notes, tables, and the selected financial data presented
elsewhere in this report. All earnings and dividends per share have been
restated to reflect the stock splits in May 1995 and December 1992.
Mid-Wisconsin is not aware of any current recommendations by any
regulatory authority which, if they were implemented, would have a material
effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Mid-Wisconsin's consolidated net income for 1996 increased 13.73% to
$3,276,441 from $2,880,861 in 1995. This compares with an increase of
7.57% for 1995 over 1994 income of $2,678,121. Factors contributing to the
1996 earnings increase include improved net interest income, increases in
fiduciary and other fee income, and income recognized as a result of the
curtailment of the company's defined benefit pension plan. Mid-Wisconsin
continued to provide funds for loans in its market area. Mid-Wisconsin
promotes a sales culture, along with quality service, in order to attract
new customers and build stronger relationships with existing customers.
Operations consolidation and standardization continued throughout
1996, eliminating duplication of procedures in all areas of the company.
Mid-Wisconsin installed local and wide area networks in 1994, to enable
all offices to communicate and share information. This has enhanced
customer service by providing accurate and timely information as well as
increase productivity. Optical storage and image technology, which will be
installed in the future, will enable Mid-Wisconsin to provide information
throughout the networks, eliminating the need of printed information. The
bank's Voice Response Unit provides the customer with twenty-four hour,
seven days a week access to their account information. An 800 telephone
number has been provided for customers living outside the local phone area.
Corporate Cash Management on-line services were installed in February
1996.
Return on average common stockholders' equity amounted to 13.35% in
1996, 13.14% in 1995, and 13.33% in 1994.
Return on average assets for 1996 amounted to 1.34%, compared to 1.22%
for 1995 and 1.14% for 1994.
Net income per share amounted to $1.76 in 1996, compared to $1.55 in
1995 and $1.44 in 1994. Cash dividends declared in 1996 were $ .67,
compared to $ .47 per share in 1995 and $ .41 in 1994. The per share ratio
of dividends to shareholders to net income was 38.07% in 1996, compared to
30.32% in 1995 and 28.47% in 1994.
NET INTEREST INCOME
The following table shows how net interest income is impacted by the
change in volume and interest rates. 1996 and 1995 data shows a favorable
spread due to both increased volume and rate changes. Growth in net
interest income will continue to be moderate and interest margins will need
to be managed carefully during 1997.

(1) The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated
to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the
absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.
(2) The amount of interest income on non-taxable loans and investment
securities has been adjusted to its fully taxable equivalent using a 34%
tax rate.
The following table demonstrates how the changing interest rate
environment affected the net yield on earning assets (on a fully tax
equivalent basis) for the three-year period ending December 31, 1996.
Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended
December 31, 1996 December 31, 1995 December 31, 1994
Yield Change Yield Change Yield Change
Yield on earning assets 8.79% 0.05% 8.74% 0.73% 8.01% -0.32%
Effective rate on all liabilities as a

Net yield on earning assets 4.78% 0.11% 4.67% 0.06% 4.61% -0.16%
The 1996 figures as a percent of average earning assets reflect an
increase in interest income and a decrease in interest expense. The
increases are due to the continued high short term interest rates on loans
and strategic pricing of deposits during 1996. Mid-Wisconsin will focus
on increasing net interest income in 1997 through continued control of
interest expense, maintaining the level of interest rates on loans, and
managing the rates on the investment portfolio.
Average earning assets increased 3.28% to $229,218 in 1996 from
$221,933 in 1995. Included in this increase was a 2.65% increase in
average loans and leases to $171,380 in 1996, up from $166,958 in 1995, a
3.90% increase in average taxable investments to $50,672 in 1996, up from
$48,772 in 1995, and a 6.02% increase in average tax exempt investments to
$5,744 in 1996, up from $5,418 in 1995.

The preceding table shows a 1996 increase of .11% on net yield on
interest earning assets. The average rate on loans and leases increased
.13% in 1996 to 9.55%, up from 9.42% in 1995. Time deposits decreased
with funds shifting into the more liquid Money Market deposit accounts
which Mid-Wisconsin offered throughout 1996 in an effort to retain deposits
to support loan demand. Total deposits at December 31, 1996 showed an
increase of $10,267,701, increasing to $202,412,107 from $192,144,406 at
December 31, 1995. Average deposits for 1996 increased $3,633,036 to
$192,219,892 from $188,586,856 in 1995. Average short term borrowing
increased $1,684,013, increasing from $18,244,296 in 1995 to $19,928,309
in 1996. The average rate on all interest bearing liabilities decreased
.01% to 4.72 in 1996 from 4.73% in 1995.
Loan growth is expected to moderate during 1997 due to the anticipated
sale of additional real estate loans in the secondary market. This will
provide increased loan servicing income and offset any potential decline in
net interest margin resulting from increased pressure from customers for
lower rates on loans. It will also provide liquidity and decrease the need
to borrow Fed Funds or pay premium rates in order to attract new deposits.
Income of $250,086 on municipal loans is included in interest and fees
on loans in 1996; $246,574 in 1995; and $316,955 in 1994.
Income on taxable securities in 1996 includes no interest on taxable
municipal securities, compared to $29,575 in 1995 and $37,865 in 1994.
The following table sets forth the mix of average interest-earning
assets and average interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest bearing assets show an increase in loans for the years 1996
through 1994. This reflects management's philosophy of investing funds for
local growth. Included in loans and leases are municipal loans of
$4,483,090 at December 31, 1996; $4,300,549 at December 31, 1995; and
$5,225,521 at December 31, 1994.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
The following table shows the major components of non-interest income.

Income from Curtailment of Defined
Benefit Pension Plan 368
Other Operating Income 619 448 524
Total $1,873 $1,397 $1,739
Fiduciary fees increased to $382,524 in 1996, compared to $347,815 in
1995 and $324,639 in 1994. This increase reflects the continual growth of
assets managed by Mid-Wisconsin's Trust Department. The market value of
assets under management increased to $84,821,244 at December 31, 1996, from
$75,220,716 at December 31, 1995, and $61,751,021 at December 31, 1994.
Service fee income on deposit accounts decreased $21,771 in 1996, to
$594,331 reflecting the competitive attitude of Mid-Wisconsin's market
area. Service fee income on deposit accounts decreased $34,024 in 1995 to
$616,102 from $650,126 in 1994.
Insurance commissions increased 3.07% in 1996 from 1995 and decreased
75% in 1995 from 1994. The decrease in 1995 from 1994 was primarily due
to the sale of Mid-Wisconsin's property and casualty business which
occurred in 1995 and 1994.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
The following table shows the major components of non-interest
expense.
(Dollars in Thousands) 1996 1995 1994

FDIC Expense 2 219 429
Other operating expense 1,794 1,533 1,549
Total $7,174 $7,064 $7,189
Salaries increased $111,028 or 3.84% during 1996 over 1995. Included
in 1996 salary expense is $150,000 in funds provided for payout of
employment contracts to executives. Also included is $52,122 in severance
pay related to operations consolidation. Pensions and other benefits
decreased reflecting the decrease in the number of employees with the
consolidations that have been made in both operations and lending
functions.
Occupancy expense decreased in 1996 after increasing slightly in 1995.
FDIC expense decreased 99.09% in 1996 from 1995, reflecting the reduction
in expense for well capitalized banks from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. FDIC expense will increase in 1997. Other operating expense
increased in 1996 due to an increase in educational, marketing, and
charitable contribution expense.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112
"Employers' Accounting for Post Employment Benefits." The adoption had no
effect on the financial statements.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Management determines the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses
based on past loan experience, current economic conditions, composition of
the loan portfolio, and the potential for future loss. Accordingly, the
amount charged to expense is based on management's evaluation of the loan
portfolio. It is the Company's policy that when available information
confirms that specific loans and leases, or portions thereof, including
impaired loans, are uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off
against the allowance. The provision for credit losses was $400,000 in
1996; compared to $100,000 in 1995 and $303,000 in 1994. The allowance for
credit losses as a percentage of gross loans outstanding was 1.16% at
December 31, 1996; 1.06% at December 31, 1995; and 1.12% at December 31,
1994. The increased provision in 1996 is intended to provide adequate
reserves for potential losses due to the depressed agricultural economy.
Charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding were .12% in 1996;
.07% in 1995; and .13% in 1994. Charge-offs have not been concentrated in
any industry or business segment as reflected in the schedule below.
Management feels the allowance for credit losses is adequate as of
December 31, 1996.
The allowance for credit losses shown in the following table
represents a general allowance available to absorb future losses within the
entire portfolio.

Ratio of net charge-offs during the
period to average loans outstanding 0.12% 0.07% 0.13% 0.10% 0.24%
The adequacy of the reserve for credit losses is assessed based upon
credit quality and other pertinent loan portfolio information. The reserve
for credit losses provided strong non-performing loan coverage, increasing
to 168% at December 31, 1996. This compares to non-performing loan
coverage of 159% at December 31, 1995, and 117% at December 31, 1994.
The following table presents an allocation of the year-end allowance
for credit losses for each of the past five years based on management's
estimates of loss exposure by category of loans. Commercial loans secured
by real estate are included in this table under the category of real estate
and the allowance for credit losses is allocated sufficiently to cover any
expectations of loss.

Although real estate loans represent 60.92% of total loans, the
allocated allowance for real estate loans totals 41.85% of the total
allowance since there is a lesser degree of credit risk in real estate
mortgages.
INCOME TAXES
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," became effective January 1, 1994. SFAS No.
109 requires deferred income taxes be provided at enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred
tax liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized. Mid-
Wisconsin changed its method of accounting for income taxes from the
deferred method to the liability method as permitted by SFAS No. 109. As
permitted under SFAS 109, prior years' financial statements were not
restated. The effect of the change was immaterial. The effective tax rate
increased from 34.7% in 1995 to 35.2% in 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY
Mid-Wisconsin's Asset Liability Management process provides a unified
approach to management of liquidity, capital and interest rate risk, and to
providing adequate funds to support the borrowing requirements and deposit
flow of its customers. Management views liquidity as the ability to raise
cash at a reasonable cost or with a minimum of loss and as a measure of
balance sheet flexibility to react to marketplace, regulatory, and
competitive changes. The primary sources of Mid-Wisconsin's liquidity are
marketable assets maturing within one year. At December 31, 1996, the
carrying value of debt securities maturing within one year amounted to
$8,167,273; or 14.29% of the total investment securities portfolio. At
December 31, 1995, the carrying value of debt securities maturing within
one year amounted to $14,262,449 or 25.80% of the total investment
securities portfolio. Mid-Wisconsin attempts, when possible, to match
relative maturities of assets and liabilities, while maintaining the
desired net interest margin. Management believes liquidity is adequate.
The following tables show the approximate consolidated rate
sensitivity gap position as of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

Management's overall strategy is to coordinate the volume of rate
sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize the impact of interest rate
movement on the net interest margin. From time to time, the bank develops
special term deposit products that will attract present and potential
customers. The figures reflect a negative position within the first year;
however, the cumulative one-year position is 98.19%. A significant portion
of consumer deposits do not reprice or mature on a contractual basis.
These deposit balances and rates are considered to be core deposits since
these balances are generally not susceptible to significant interest rate
changes. Mid-Wisconsin's Asset/Liability Committee distributes these
deposits over a number of periods to reflect those portions of such
accounts that are expected to reprice fully with market rates over the
simulation period. The assumptions are based on historical experience with
the bank's individual markets and customers and include projections for how
management expects to continue to price in response to marketplace and
market changes. However, markets and consumer behavior do change, and
adjustments are necessary as customer preferences, competitive market
conditions, liquidity, loan growth rates, and mix change. Management
considers that an acceptable range for the rate sensitivity ratio is 75-
125%.
At December 31, 1996, Mid-Wisconsin had $19,927,010 in variable rate
loans that reprice on a quarterly basis. These loans have floors and
ceilings which prevent significant short-term interest fluctuations.

On January 1, 1994, Mid-Wisconsin Financial Services, Inc. adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115), which
specifies the accounting for investments in securities that have readily
determinable fair values. During 1995, the bank reclassified all
securities as available-for-sale.
At December 31, 1996, the net unrealized gain on securities available
for sale, recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity, was
$176,005, net of deferred income taxes of $77,725.
Securities with an approximate carrying value of $37,993,443 and
$30,389,165, at December 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively, were pledged
primarily to secure public deposits and for other purposes required by law.

Interest rates fluctuated throughout 1996, closing the year .3% to
.75% higher. The market value of the fixed income portion of the
investment portfolio as a percentage of book value decreased slightly due
to this increase in rates. An investment subsidiary, Mid-Wisconsin
Investment Corp., was formed in June 1994, and currently holds
approximately $29,240,439 in securities at book value. Income tax expense
for 1996 was approximately $114,884 lower as a result of holding these
securities at the subsidiary.
The book value and market value of investment securities are equal and
are summarized as follows:

The composition of loans in the loan portfolio shows a decrease in
commercial and financial loans and increases in real estate and
agricultural loans. Mid-Wisconsin expects growth will be modest to
declining in the real estate category during 1996 as increased efforts are
made to sell these loans in the secondary market.
Mid-Wisconsin's process for monitoring loan quality includes monthly
analysis of delinquencies, non-performing assets and potential problem
loans. Mid-Wisconsin's policy is to place loans on a non-accrual status
when they become contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or
principal payments. All interest accrued (including applicable impaired
loans) but not collected for 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.
Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest
amounts contractually due have been collected and there is reasonable
assurance that repayment will continue within a reasonable time frame.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is probable
that the Company will be 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.
Mid-Wisconsin maintained generally high loan quality during 1996. The
following table sets forth the amount of non-performing loans and other
real estate owned as of the dates indicated.

Included above are $394,552 of impaired loans (.023%) in non-accrual
status at December 31, 1996. In addition, there are impaired loans of
$448,179 (.026%) which management has considered in the allowance for
credit losses. The average balance of impaired loans during 1996 was
$779,924.
Total non-performing assets (loans and other real estate) increased
during 1996. As a percentage of total outstanding loans, the non-
performing assets increased .03% to .70% in 1996. The percentage of non-
performing assets decreased .29% in 1995 and increased .37% in 1994 over
1993.
On January 1, 1996, Mid-Wisconsin adopted Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards Nos. 114 and 118 (SFAS114), "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan" and "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures." The adoption of SFAS 114 did
not result in additional provision for losses since the Company evaluates
the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on an ongoing
basis. SFAS 114 does not apply to groups of smaller balance homogeneous
loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans collectively
evaluated for impairment include certain smaller balance commercial and
agricultural loans, consumer loans, residential real estate loans, and
credit card loans.
Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal
unless collectability of the principal amount is fully assured, in which
case interest is recognized on the cash basis.

percentage of total deposits for the periods indicated.

During 1996, deposits increased 5.34%, or $10,267,701 to $212,412,107
at December 31, 1996 from $192,144,406 at December 31, 1995. Management is
projecting modest deposit growth during 1996 because of Mid-Wisconsin's
strategy to grow only if it can do so profitably along, with increased
competition for deposits in its market area.
The maturity distribution of time certificates of deposit of $100,000
or more at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 is (in thousands):

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
During 1996, Mid-Wisconsin's stockholders' equity increased by
$1,974,673 to $25,724,631; after adjusting for a change of $129,788 in net
unrealized losses. This increase was substantially from retention of
current year earnings.
Mid-Wisconsin is subject to risk-based capital guidelines of the Board
and the Bank is subject to equivalent capital guidelines of the FDIC.

As of December 31, 1996, the bank could have paid approximately
$5,575,000 of additional dividends to the company without prior regulatory
approval. The payment of dividends is subject to the statutes governing
state-chartered banks. Management feels the capital structure of Mid-
Wisconsin is adequate.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mid-Wisconsin
Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiary, Mid-Wisconsin Bank. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The
accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and to general practice within the banking industry.
The Company operates as a full service financial institution with a primary
marketing area including, but not limited to, Clark and Taylor Counties. It
provides a variety of core banking products in addition to trust services and
investment product sales.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks include cash on
hand and noninterest-bearing deposits in correspondent banks.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities are assigned an appropriate classification at the time of
purchase in accordance with management's intent. Securities held to maturity
represent those securities for which the Company has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity. Accordingly, these securities are carried at cost
adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount calculated using
the effective yield method. Unrealized gains and losses on securities held to
maturity are not recognized in the financial statements. The Company has no
held to maturity securities.
Trading securities include those securities bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near future. The Company has no trading
securities.
Securities not classified as either securities held to maturity or trading
securities are considered available for sale and reported at fair value
determined from estimates of brokers or other sources. Unrealized gains and
losses are excluded from earnings but are reported as a separate component of
stockholders' equity, net of income tax effects.
Any gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized at the time of sale
using the specific identification method.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INTEREST AND FEES ON LOANS
Interest on loans is credited to income as earned. Interest income is not
accrued on loans where management has determined collection of such interest is
doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but
unpaid interest deemed uncollectible is reversed and charged against current
income.
Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred
and amortized to income over the contractual lives of the underlying loans.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based upon reviews of
individual credits, recent loss experience, current economic conditions,
composition of the loan portfolio, and other relevant factors. Provisions for
credit losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the
allowance.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or
losses on disposition of premises and equipment are reflected in income.
Depreciation is computed on both accelerated and straight-line methods and is
based on the estimated useful lives of the assets varying from 10 to 50 years
on buildings and 3 to 20 years on equipment.
OTHER REAL ESTATE
Other real estate is carried at the lower of cost or realizable fair market
value at the date of transfer.
INTANGIBLES
The excess of cost over the net assets acquired (goodwill) is being amortized
using the straight-line method over a 15-year period from the date of
acquisition.
RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company had a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which covered
substantially all full-time employees. This plan was terminated effective
January 1, 1997 to be replaced with a money purchase defined contribution
pension plan covering substantially the same employees. The Company also
maintains a defined contribution profit-sharing plan which covers substantially
all full-time employees.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes have been provided under the liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the differences between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by
the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are
expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the
deferred tax asset and liability.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding which includes the common stock equivalents applicable to
shares issuable under the stock options granted. The weighted average number
of shares outstanding were 1,864,840 in 1996, 1,861,328 in 1995, and 1,856,940
in 1994. The weighted average number of shares has been adjusted to reflect
the stock split in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend issued May 8, 1995.
All per share amounts have been restated to reflect the stock dividend.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," in June 1996. SFAS No.
125 requires use of a financial-components approach to recognize financial
assets and liabilities. Under this approach, after a transfer of financial
assets, the Company will recognize the financial and servicing assets and
liabilities based on whether control over the asset and liability was
maintained or surrendered. This statement is required to be adopted by the
Company for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities effective January 1, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 is not
anticipated to have a significant impact on the Company's financial condition
or results of operations once implemented.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.
NOTE 2 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of." There was no impact on net income as a result
of the adoption of SFAS No. 121. The Company had no long-lived assets
considered to be impaired at the time of adopting the standard.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for
Mortgage Servicing Rights." Under this SFAS, the Company had to record an
asset for the value of retained servicing rights on mortgages sold. This asset
is amortized to expense as serviced loan principal is paid. The adoption had
an insignificant effect on the financial statements during the year of
adoption.
NOTE 2 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE (CONTINUED)
Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." Under this SFAS, the Company is required to
disclose in the notes to the financial statements the difference between the
"fair value method" and the "intrinsic value method" as prescribed by the
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees." The Company continues to account for stock-based compensation
in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, with differences from the "fair value
method" disclosed. The adoption had no effect on the financial statements.
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." There was no impact on net
income as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 114.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Under this SFAS, the
Company had to classify its investment securities into one of three different
classifications. Investments classified as available for sale must reflect
market value changes in the equity section. The impact of adoption of SFAS No.
115 was an increase in the value of securities reflected on the balance sheet
of $795,636, an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $312,000 and an
increase in equity of $483,636. The adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no effect on
1994 net income.
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Post Employment Benefits." The adoption had no effect on the
financial statements.
NOTE 3 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
Cash and due from banks in the amount of $898,000 are restricted at December
31, 1996 to meet the reserve requirements of the Federal Reserve System.

Securities with an approximate carrying value of $37,993,000 and $30,389,000 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were pledged to secure public
deposits, short-term borrowings and for other purposes required by law.
A significant portion of the states and political subdivisions securities are
rated by Moody's, with ratings ranging from A to AAA. For those securities not
rated, fair values are obtained from brokerage services utilized by the
Company. At December 31, 1996, the total carrying value of nonrated
obligations of states and political subdivisions was approximately $3,027,000.
NOTE 5 - LOANS
The composition of loans at December 31 follows:
1996 1995
Commercial $ 26,922,254 $ 28,146,447
Agricultural 30,868,959 27,962,475
Real estate:
Construction 890,588 1,271,741
Mortgage 104,002,036 101,474,348
Installment 11,499,559 11,747,142
Lease financing 658,593 762,092
Total loans $ 174,841,989 $ 171,364,245
The weighted average interest rate for all loans was 9.02 percent and 9.11
percent at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Approximately 88.6
percent of the loans have fixed rates with the remaining 11.4 percent having
variable rates.
NOTE 5 - LOANS (CONTINUED)
Residential mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or
market. Cost was equal to market at December 31, 1996. Mortgage loans
serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans are $12,821,873,
$8,055,796, and $5,574,066 at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Loans are recorded net of deferred loan fees which totaled $83,882 and $90,287
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company in the ordinary course of business grants loans to the Company's
executive officers and directors, including their families and firms in which
they are principal owners.
All loans to executive officers and directors are made on substantially the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with others and do not involve more than the
normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The bank
has a policy of making loans available to nonexecutive officers and employees
at interest rates slightly below those prevailing for comparable transactions
with other customers. In the opinion of management, such loans do not involve
more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features.
Activity in such loans during 1996 is summarized below:
Loans outstanding, January 1, 1996 $ 2,313,429
New loans 780,113
Repayments (1,202,334)
Loans outstanding, December 31, 1996 $ 1,891,208
The aggregate amount of nonperforming loans was approximately $1,072,000 and
$1,152,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Nonperforming loans
are those which are either contractually past due 90 days or more as to
interest or principal payments, on a nonaccrual status, or the terms of which
have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or
principal. If nonaccrual and renegotiated loans had been current or not
troubled, $108,788, $161,476, and $212,442 of interest income would have been
recorded for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Interest income on impaired or nonaccrued loans is recorded on the cash basis
as income when received. Interest income actually recorded was $182,442,
$71,740, and $31,391 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
The allowance for credit losses should include specific allowances related to
loans which have been judged to be impaired and which fall within the scope of
SFAS No. 114. A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is
probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due in accordance with
the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These specific allowances are
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.
NOTE 5 - LOANS (CONTINUED)
An analysis of impaired loans follows:
1996 1995
AT DECEMBER 31,
Nonaccrual $ 394,552 $ 155,000
Accruing income 448,179 72,000
Total impaired loans 842,731 227,000
Less - Allowance for credit losses 132,124 51,000
Net investment in impaired loans $ 710,607 $ 176,000
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
Average recorded investment, net of
allowance for credit losses $ 779,924 $ 183,000
Interest income recognized $ 86,776 $ 657
Since the Company evaluates the overall adequacy of the allowance for credit
losses on an ongoing basis, the adoption of SFAS No. 114 during 1995 did not
affect the amount of the allowance for credit losses or the existing income
recognition and charge-off policies for nonperforming loans.
The Company continues to maintain a general allowance for credit losses for
loans outside of the scope of SFAS No. 114. The allowance for credit losses is
maintained at a level which management believes is adequate for possible credit
losses. Management periodically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance using
the Company's past credit loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
portfolio, composition of the portfolio, current economic conditions, and other
relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective since it requires
material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.
An analysis of the allowance for credit losses for the three years ended
December 31, follows:
1996 1995 1994
Balance, January 1 $ 1,835,951 $ 1,858,783 $ 1,770,289

The Company, and its subsidiary, pay state income taxes on individual,
unconsolidated net earnings. At December 31, 1996, tax net operating losses at
the parent company level of approximately $1,130,000, existed to offset future
state taxable income. These net operating losses will begin to expire in 2005.
The valuation allowance has been recognized to adjust deferred tax assets to
the amount of tax net operating losses expected to be realized. If realized,
the tax benefit for this item will reduce current tax expense for that period.
Current income tax liabilities payable reflected in the balance sheets were
$94,989 and $59,640 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
NOTE 12 - RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan which covers substantially
all employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
highest consecutive five-year average earnings. Contributions are intended to
provide not only benefits attributed for service to date but also for those
expected to be earned in the future. The Company's funding policy is to
annually contribute the maximum amount deductible for federal income tax
purposes. Due to the overfunded status of the plan, no contributions were
required for 1994. Contributions made during 1996 and 1995 totaled $159,027
and $200,548, respectively. Plan assets consist of a diversified portfolio of
fixed income investments and equity securities.
Effective January 1, 1995, the plan's benefit formula and compensation
definitions were amended. The effect of this amendment is a decrease in the
projected benefit obligation of $178,525 and a decrease in 1995 service cost of
$28,223.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company terminated its defined benefit pension
plan and replaced it with a noncontributory defined contribution money purchase
pension plan covering substantially the same employees. Monthly benefits
currently paid to retirees will not be affected by the plan's termination.
Benefits under the money purchase plan will be contributed by the Company on an
annual basis, calculated as a percentage of annual salary and wages beginning
January 1, 1997. The Company has requested regulatory approval to distribute
participants' vested defined benefit pension plan balances into the new money
purchase pension plan. Any shortfall in plan assets under the required
distribution of vested benefits will be provided for by the Company.
Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," this transaction constitutes a
curtailment, which resulted in the recognition of a gain to the Company as of
December 31, 1996 determined as follows:

expense was $394,036, $358,294, and $306,029, respectively.
NOTE 13 - STOCK OPTIONS
Under the terms of existing stock option plans, shares of unissued common stock
are reserved for options to officers and key employees of the Company at prices
not less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant.
Options expire no later than approximately five years from the date of the
grant.
At December 31, 1996, options outstanding are as follows:
NUMBER OF SHARES Option Price
OUTSTANDING EXERCISABLE* PER SHARE
5,395 5,395 10.75
4,361 4,361 14.00
3,834 3,834 16.00
3,282 3,282 19.50
16,872 16,872
*Options can be exercised only between the fourth and fifth anniversaries of
the date of grant.
For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996, options exercised were as
follows:
[CAPTION]
Year Price at Which
Exercised Shares Exercised
1994 6,396 7.93
1995 7,430 8.37
1996 8,079 9.29
As of December 31, 1996, 67,619 shares of common stock remain reserved for
future grants under option plans approved by the shareholders. The options
outstanding reflect the stock split effected in the form of a 100 percent stock
dividend issued May 8, 1995.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans. Had
compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on
the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with
the method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below:
1996 1995
Net income $ 3,271,628 $ 2,869,728
Earnings per share $ 1.75 $ 1.54
NOTE 14 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Federal banking regulatory agencies have established capital adequacy rules
which take into account risk attributable to balance sheet assets and off-
balance sheet activities. All banks and bank holding companies must meet a
minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8 percent. Of the 8 percent
required, half must be comprised of core capital elements defined as Tier 1
capital. The federal banking agencies also have adopted leverage capital
guidelines which banking organizations must meet. Under these guidelines, the
most highly rated banking organizations must meet a minimum leverage ratio of
at least 3 percent Tier 1 capital to total assets, while lower rated banking
organizations must maintain a ratio of at least 4 percent to 5 percent.
The subsidiary bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional
discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-
weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the
Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,
and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions
or events since that notification that management believes have changed the
institution's category.
The Company's actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 1996, are
presented in the table.

NOTE 14 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED)
The banking subsidiary is restricted by banking regulations from making
dividend distributions above prescribed amounts and limited in making loans and
advances to the Company. At December 31, 1996, the retained earnings of the
subsidiary available for distribution as dividends without regulatory approval
was approximately $5,575,000.
NOTE 15 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued three statements concerning
financial instruments. SFAS No. 105 requires that certain information be
disclosed about financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk and financial
instruments with concentrations of credit risk. SFAS No. 107 requires such
entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments. SFAS No. 119
requires certain disclosures for derivative financial instruments. The Company
does not presently have nor has it had any derivative type instruments
requiring disclosure.
CREDIT RISK
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. These
commitments at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
1996 1995
Commitments to extend credit:
Fixed rate $ 7,818,893 $ 7,239,494
Adjustable rate 7,725,800 5,643,679
Standby and irrevocable letters of credit:
Fixed rate 1,834,712 1,869,024
Adjustable rate 127,486 127,486
Credit card commitments 3,757,219 2,927,468
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 Company evaluates each
customer's credit worthiness on a case by case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based
on management's credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies but may
include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and
income-producing commercial properties.
NOTE 15 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK (CONTINUED)
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The commitments are
structured to allow for 100 percent collateralization on all standby letters of
credit.
Credit card commitments are commitments on credit cards issued by the Company
and serviced by Elan Financial Services. These commitments are unsecured.
COMMITMENTS
As of December 31, 1996, the Company was committed for additions to property
and equipment totaling approximately $500,000.
CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal
proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such
proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company grants residential, commercial, agricultural and consumer loans
predominantly in central Wisconsin. There were no significant concentrations
of credit to any one debtor or industry group. It is felt that the diversity
of the local economy will prevent significant losses in the event of an
economic downturn.
CONCENTRATION OF DEPOSITS AND INTEREST RISK
Interest-bearing deposits include $17,145,518 and $16,370,000 of certificates
of deposit in denominations of $100,000 or more at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments" requires that the Company disclose estimated
fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and
assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments:
CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheets for cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in
other financial institutions, and federal funds sold approximate the fair
value of these assets.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES: Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is
estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
LOANS: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar
financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial,
residential mortgage, and other consumer. The fair value of loans is
calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity
using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest
rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the
Company's repayment schedules for each loan classification. In addition, for
impaired loans, marketability and appraisal values for collateral were
considered in the fair value determination. The carrying amount of accrued
interest approximates its fair value.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity,
such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts and money
market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted
value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate reflects the credit
quality and operating expense factors of the Company.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS: The carrying amount reported in the consolidated
balance sheets for short-term borrowings approximates the liabilities fair
value.
LONG-TERM BORROWINGS: The fair values of the Company's long-term borrowings
(other than deposits) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types
of borrowing arrangements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS: The fair value of commitments would be
estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements,
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the current
interest rates, and the present credit worthiness of the counter parties.
Since this amount is immaterial, no amounts for fair value are presented.
The following table presents information for financial instruments:

Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value

Long-term borrowings 5,400,000 5,332,141 4,000,000 3,945,872
NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
LIMITATIONS: Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time,
based on relevant market information and information about the financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that
could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings
of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a
significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value
estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience,
current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial
instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and
involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgement and therefore
cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on
existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting
to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets
and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant
assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or
liabilities include premises and equipment, other assets and other
liabilities. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization
of the unrealized gains or losses can have a significant effect on fair value
estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
