Dear Shareholders,
With hard work and commitment to service, convenience and technology, your Bank
has, for the sixth consecutive year, logged record earnings of $6.4 million. In
1997, the Bank also achieved a new high for return on equity and assets, as well
as record levels of deposits and loans. The Bank's capital now exceeds $53
million, which positions Tri City National Bank very well to meet the future
financial needs of its customers. We are pleased to report that the loan
portfolio quality remains strong with very low levels of problem loans and no
non-accrual loans. IDC Financial Publishing, Inc., a financial rating service
known for rating banks, has once again given Tri City National Bank a "Superior"
rating.
To the chagrin of the pessimists, 1997 proved to be another banner year for the
U.S. economy. Financial markets and our overall economic prosperity continued to
show strong and consistent growth. Low levels of inflation and long-term
interest rates have encouraged expansion throughout the business sector.
The low interest rates noted during 1997 caused some interesting challenges.
Securities in excess of $21 million in our investment portfolio were called
prior to their maturities. And two significant loans totaling more than $11
million were prepaid. Through diligent effort, we were able to replace these
earning assets without compromising our earnings or asset quality.
The key words to remember when it comes to community banking continue to be
convenience and service. We believe that Tri City National Bank continues to be
a hometown bank big enough to serve our customers and small enough to know them.
In January 1997, we opened our thirty-first branch inside the Clark Square Pick
`n Save Mega Food Center on the near south side in the City of Milwaukee. This
branch is helping to address needed services for that neighborhood and, based
upon the number of accounts that have already been opened, this neighborhood is
responding to our commitment. In the metropolitan Milwaukee market, our thirty-
one branch locations provide unequaled banking opportunities for our customers.
Fifteen of our branches are located inside Pick `n Save food stores, giving us
the largest network of in-store banks providing in-person services seven days a
week until 8:00 P.M. The volume of transactions processed by these offices
continues to grow and demonstrates our customers' appreciation for the personal
service they have consistently received.
1
We expanded our automated teller network to twenty-five locations by adding two
new terminals in 1997. Tri City ATMs are available free of charge to our
customers, and offer convenient locations and high reliability.
We are pleased to note that the Tri City EZ Pay Check Card has consistently
grown in transaction volume, addressing the needs of our expanding customer
base. This fast-growing retail product is gaining an acceptance nationwide as a
convenient alternative to check writing.
The number of customers using Tri City's many automated banking services
continues to grow. Our Automated Voice Response Unit is now receiving sixty
thousand inquiries per month. We have committed the necessary capital to be on
the leading edge of technology when it comes to providing the services our
customers have come to expect.
Our goal is to position your Company for the future by looking for new growth
opportunities while offering unmatched levels of convenience and service. During
1998, we expect to complete the upgrading of all of our management information
systems with new technology that will ensure the Bank's data processing ability
will meet future needs for years to come. This investment will be significant
and is necessary to allow us to successfully compete in the future.
We believe that the future of the Bank continues to be bright. By continuing our
philosophy and commitment to independent community banking, we will meet the
needs of the consumer and the businessman alike and the Bank will have a
healthy, prosperous future. Be assured, the Board of Directors, officers and
staff will continue to build your Company and preserve your investment.
Sincerely,
/s/David A. Ulrich

BUILDING A BANK ONE LOCATION AT A TIME
Acquisitions make the big headlines in the banking business. We at Tri City
National Bank have made headlines with a much different type of growth.
You see, we've never bought another bank. Instead, we've expanded by steadily
opening new locations, a tally that now numbers 31 offices throughout the
Milwaukee area. In fact, our newest bank just opened in January inside a Pick `n
Save Mega Food Center at 1818 W. National Ave. on Milwaukee's near south side.
The strategy has given us solid growth and the ability to remain a hometown,
locally owned bank. Most important, it's given us an unmatched level of customer
service. At our 15 Pick 'n Save locations, we're open seven days a week until 8
p.m.
As you can see, we take pride in our service. In fact, our slogan says we're
"Your hometown bank. Large enough to serve you. Small enough to know you."
Sure, other banks may make similar claims. We prove it--seven days a week.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion contains certain "forward-looking statements," including
statements concerning objectives and future events or performance, and other
statements which are other than historical fact. Factors that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, the following possibilities: (i)
lower than anticipated loan growth due to a variety of factors, including
changes in the interest rate environment and increases in competitive pressures
in the banking and financial services industry; (ii) insufficient reserves for
loan losses; (iii) poorer then expected general economic conditions; (iv)
legislation or regulatory changes which adversely affect the banking industry;
and (v) other unanticipated occurrences.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During 1997, Tri City Bankshares Corporation (the Corporation) increased total
assets $22.9 million (5.3%) compared to an increase of $39.0 million (9.8%) in
1996. This increase reflects the net growth in assets during 1997, despite the
fact that numerous securities were called and several large loans were prepaid.
Total cash and cash equivalents for the Corporation increased $9.2 million
(25.9%) in 1997 compared to an increase of $783,000 (2.3%) during 1996. Cash and
cash equivalents can show material fluctuations which reflect deposit timing of
our customers but are not indicative of trends. This was largely the case at
December 31, 1997. However, cash balances required for our normal operations did
increase in 1997 as the result of one new bank location and two new ATMs which
were opened. Management continues to emphasize the need to minimize average cash
balances.
During 1997, investment securities increased $885,000 (0.7%) as compared to an
increase of $16.1 million (14.7%) in 1996. While the net increase is less than
1%, a significant amount of activity occurred. A total of $29 million of federal
agency and municipal securities were purchased. Of that total, over $21 million
were purchases made to replace securities which had exercised call options.
"Available for Sale" securities decreased $7.1 million (70.7%) during 1997
compared to a decrease of $2.7 million (20.9%) in 1996, while "Held to Maturity"
securities increased $8.0 million (7.0%) compared to an increase of $18.7
million (19.4%) during the same periods. This activity is a part of the
aggregate $29 million of purchases previously addressed and merely represents a
shift in classification.
6
Loan balances increased $13.6 million (5.4%) during 1997 compared to an increase
of $21.3 million (9.2%) during 1996. As a result of this growth, the Corporation
again closed the year with record high outstanding loan balances. While loan
growth fell short of the goal management had set for the Corporation, the
increase and the new balance high were achieved despite the payment of a short-
term municipal loan in the amount of $5 million originated November 1996 and
paid January 31, 1997, as well as the prepayment of a single commercial loan in
the amount of $6 million. The legal lending limit for a single borrower now
exceeds $8 million at Tri City National Bank. The Bank's underwriting preference
remains to originate loans of $1 million or less. Management has selectively
approved, and the banking subsidiary has booked, a few larger loans when
circumstances warranted. However, when these loans are repaid, the impact is
noticeable on year-end totals.
The basic philosophy of management is unchanged: a commitment to reinvesting in
the communities serviced by the Corporation. Funding new businesses, expansion
of existing businesses and retail credit extended through mortgages and equity
loans will provide a base for continued growth. Management, through its loan
review committee, is monitoring new as well as renewal loans for quality and
collectibility. We have continued to maintain a low percentage of nonperforming
loans and other real estate owned. As of December 31, 1997, the reserve for loan
losses totaled $3,500,050 and equaled 1.31% of the loan portfolio. During 1997,
the provision for loan loss totaled $600,000 while losses charged against the
reserve amounted to $170,000, which compares to 1996 levels of $300,000 and
$922,000, respectively. Management believes the reserve for loan losses is
adequate to support portfolio growth and absorb any losses which may occur.
Total deposits of the Corporation increased $17.9 million (4.7%) during 1997
compared to an increase of $30.8 million (8.8%) in 1996. The growth in core
deposits has remained steady. Interest rates have remained low and non-bank
competition from mutual funds and others has been keen. Management believes the
Corporation has a good reputation in the community for convenient hours, many
locations and servicing our customers' financial needs. Continued growth in
deposits has enabled the Corporation to fund loan growth with little reliance on
borrowed funds or any other volatile liability dependence. Borrowings increased
$311,000 (5.8%) in 1997 compared to an increase of $3.5 million (182.1%) in
1996.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
Liquidity is defined as the Corporation's ability to generate adequate amounts
of cash to meet both current and future needs to pay obligations as they mature,
to maintain lending capacity, to provide for planned growth, and to provide a
competitive return on investment.
7
The Corporation has been able to continue deposit growth which is the primary
source of funds for its lending and investment functions. The Corporation has
endeavored to maintain an adequate matching of maturities between its deposit
base and its investment and loan portfolios so as not to expose the Corporation
to unacceptable levels of interest rate risk and to maintain liquidity at levels
which do not unduly impact earnings.
The banking subsidiary of the Corporation has the ability to borrow up to $16.0
million in federal funds and an additional $50.0 million under reverse
repurchase agreements. Cash needs of the Corporation can also be met through
borrowings from other lenders, if needed. These arrangements are further
discussed in Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements.
Federal law restricts extensions of credit by a bank to its parent bank holding
company and, with certain exceptions, to other affiliates and also the amount of
dividends the Corporation's subsidiary may pay to the parent bank holding
company. Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements discusses the
application of these limitations to the Corporation and its subsidiary bank.
In addition, the repayment of loans and scheduled maturities of marketable
investment securities are significant sources of liquidity. Securities maturing
in one year or less amounted to $12.1 million at December 31, 1997, representing
9.5% of total investment securities. Management believes it has maintained a
liquidity position to meet everyday monetary demands. The Corporation has not,
in the past, relied on sales of investment securities to meet its liquidity
needs, and management does not intend to do so in the future.
Capital Resources
During January 1997, one new branch location was opened inside a new Pick `n
Save food store in the Clark Square neighborhood, a low- to moderate-income area
in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The cost of this facility was approximately $100,000,
which was internally funded. There were no major capital expenditures made in
1997. Management has a $1.5 million capital expenditure planned for 1998 to re-
equip all banking locations with new telecommunications equipment as well as new
teller and customer service workstations. In addition, a new operations center
is being planned which will require an estimated capital investment budget of $3
million.
The OCC has issued guidelines which impose upon national banks certain risk-
based capital and leverage standards. These guidelines, as well as the capital
requirements of bank regulators, are discussed in Note 8, beginning on page 28.
Failure to meet applicable capital guidelines could subject a national bank to a
variety of enforcement remedies available to the federal regulatory authorities.
Depending upon circumstances, the regulatory agencies may require an institution
to surpass minimum capital ratios established and may also take more restrictive
action.
8
It is the Corporation's philosophy to avoid those categories of assets
classified by the capital requirements as having higher credit risk, and to
avoid highly leveraged or certain foreign loans. The Corporation's banking
subsidiary believes it will continue to exceed the "risk-based" capital
requirements and continue to meet regulatory definitions of "well capitalized."
Results of Operations
1997 vs. 1996
The Corporation's net income increased $685,000 (11.8%) during 1997 compared to
an increase of $457,000 (8.5%) during 1996. Revenue growth from the loan
portfolio and fee income were the drivers of this increase as efforts to attract
new loans and a favorable rate environment resulted in an increase of $1.9
million (8.4%) in interest and fees on loans in 1997 compared to an increase of
$1.5 million (7.0%) in 1996.
The Corporation was able to attract new customers and increase the loan
portfolio by $13.6 million (5.4%) compared to an increase of $21.3 million
(9.2%) in 1996. This increase was achieved through an active commercial calling
program and moderate demand for retail mortgage loans. Although management is
conservative in its approval of loan requests, it has been open to all requests
and has worked with the Corporation's loan officers in getting loans approved.
Management has been able to keep the Corporation's exposure to nonperforming
loans and charged-off loans to a minimum. Total nonaccrual loans have decreased
from a high of $4.4 million on December 31, 1993 to $0 as of December 31, 1997.
Interest income on investment securities increased $113,000 (1.6%) during 1997
compared to an increase of $1.1 million (17.9%) during 1996. The increase in
interest income on investment securities is primarily due to a minimal increase
in yields rather than the increase in investment balances. During 1996, several
investment securities classified as available-for-sale were called. In keeping
with management's policy of holding investment securities until they mature, the
Corporation chose to replace available-for-sale securities with those classified
as held-to-maturity.
Although deposit balances increased $17.9 million (4.7%) during 1997 compared to
an increase of $30.8 million (8.8%) during 1996, interest expense on deposits
decreased $104,000 (1.0%) compared to an increase of $1.1 million (12.3%) in
1997 and 1996, respectively. The average yields paid on time deposits were
approximately 30 basis points less and average balances were approximately $5.0
million lower during 1997 than in 1996. Interest expense paid on borrowed funds,
however, increased $116,000 (46.3%) in 1997 compared to a increase of $39,000
(18.5%) in 1996. The net effect for 1997 amounted to an increase of $12,000
(0.1%) in interest expense compared to an increase of $1.2 million (12.4%) in
1996.
9
Total other income increased $482,000 (8.1%) during 1997 compared to a decrease
of $40,000 (0.7%) during 1996. Management instituted a surcharge on Automatic
Teller Machine transactions which are originated at the Corporation's ATMs by
non-customers. This accounted for an additional $297,000 in gross other income
in 1997.
Total other expense increased $1.0 million (5.9%) during 1997 compared to an
increase of $869,000 (5.3%) increase during 1996. Salaries and employee benefits
increased $933,000 (10.0%) in 1997 compared to an increase of $698,000 (8.1%) in
1996. This accounted for 93.3% of the total increase in other expense compared
to 80.3% of the total increase in other expense in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
There was one new banking facility which was opened in 1997, but it did not
significantly affect net income during the year.
The Corporation has posted its sixth straight year of increased net income.
Management is optimistic that the Corporation should be able to continue this
upward growth. The effective tax rate has remained low for the Corporation at
27.1% in 1997 and 25.2% in 1996.
10
Results of Operations
1996 vs. 1995
Net income of the Corporation increased $456.7 thousand (8.54%) during 1996
compared to an increase of $473.7 thousand (9.7%) during 1995. Increases in loan
and investment security interest income were the primary sources for this
increase in 1996.
Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $1.5 million (7.0%) in 1996
compared to an increase of $2.9 million (16.0%) in 1995. The demand for loans
has remained strong through 1996 with an increase of $21.3 million (9.2%) in
loan balances compared with a $19.1 million (9.0%) increase during 1995.
Management has attempted to attract new loan customers by offering competitive
rates and providing attentive customer service while maintaining the quality of
the portfolio as established by the Corporation's lending policy. Investment
security interest income increased $1.1 million (17.9%) during 1996 compared to
a decrease of $136.1 thousand (2.0%) during 1995. The Corporation increased
investment security balances in 1996 by $16.1 million, the same as in 1995. This
volume increase was the primary reason for the rise in investment security
interest income, since yields on these securities have only slightly increased.
Management has tried to invest in only those securities which will provide the
Corporation with maximum yield while still minimizing risk exposure. The
Corporation does carry some investments categorized as available for sale;
however, the general intent is to hold all securities until maturity. Interest
income on Federal Funds Sold decreased $152.0 thousand (29.2%) during 1996
compared to an increase of $439.9 thousand (546.0%) during 1995. The Corporation
did not need to invest in the short term since the demand for loans was
relatively high. Total interest expense increased $1.2 million (12.4%) during
1996 compared to an increase of $2.6 million (38.0%) during 1995. Interest rates
on deposits and short-term borrowings remained relatively the same for the
entire year. The increase in deposit balances in 1996 account primarily for the
increase in interest expense.
Total other income decreased $39.8 thousand (0.7%) in 1996 compared to an
increase of $748.4 thousand (14.3%) in 1995. The increase in 1995 was primarily
due to a gain of $465 thousand which was realized on the sale of other real
estate owned. There were no such transactions recorded in 1996. Total other
expense increased $869.3 thousand (5.3%) in 1996 compared to an increase of
$747.9 thousand (4.8%) in 1995. Increases in salaries and employee benefits as
well as occupancy expense contributed to this increase. The Corporation had
opened four new banking locations during 1995 and the full impact of the added
personnel and facilities was not felt until 1996.
The Corporation increased the amount of tax-exempt securities which it holds in
its portfolio by $11.4 million during 1996. The increase in tax-exempt
securities was the primary cause of the decrease in the Corporation's effective
tax rate. The Corporation's effective tax rates for 1996 and 1995 were 25.2% and
28.8%, respectively.
11
Recent Accounting Developments
See Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of pending
accounting changes.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The majority of assets and liabilities of a financial institution, including the
Corporation, are monetary in nature. Therefore, the effects of inflation on
financial institutions differ greatly from most commercial and industrial
companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. The
growth of total assets in the banking industry caused by inflation results in
the need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to
maintain an appropriate equity-to-assets ratio. The Corporation's management
recognizes the need to both control asset growth and maintain a reasonable
dividend policy in order to promote the adequate internal growth of capital.
Another significant effect of inflation is on other expenses, which tend to rise
during periods of general inflation.
Management believes that the Corporation's ability to react to changes in
interest rates has the most impact on inflation and changing prices. Management
attempts to maintain a reasonably balanced position between interest-sensitive
assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate
fluctuations.
Year 2000
Year 2000 is the term used to describe the fact that many existing computer
programs use only two digits to identify a year in a date field. These programs
were designed without considering the impact of the upcoming change in century.
If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous
results by or at the Year 2000.
The Corporation began addressing the Year 2000 issue in 1997 as part of a
restructuring of the Corporation's internal accounting systems. This
restructuring is expected to be completed in late 1998 and is expected to result
in a new accounting system which will be Year 2000 compliant. The total dollar
amount the Corporation estimates it will spend to remediate its Year 2000 issues
is not expected to have a material financial impact on the Corporation.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Corporation's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a
lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Corporation's transactions are
denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure.
12
Interest rate risk (IRR) is the exposure of a banking organization's financial
condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an
important source of profitability and stockholder value; however, excessive
levels of IRR could pose a significant threat to the Corporation's earnings and
capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains IRR at
prudent levels is essential to the Corporation's safety and soundness.
When assessing IRR, the Corporation seeks to ensure that appropriate policies,
procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to
maintain IRR at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. Evaluating the
quantitative level of IRR exposure requires the Corporation to assess the
existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its
consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings,
liquidity and, where appropriate, asset quality.
Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest
collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its
assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a
period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is
exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest rate
changes. For example, assume that an institution's assets carry intermediate- or
long-term fixed rates and that those assets are funded with short-term
liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term
liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution's interest
expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to
earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution's profits could
decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net
interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when
assets are subject to contractual interest rate ceilings, or rate-sensitive
assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a decreasing rate
environment.
Several ways an institution can manage IRR include: selling existing assets or
repaying certain liabilities; matching repricing periods for new assets and
liabilities, for example, by shortening terms of new loans or investments; and
hedging existing assets, liabilities or anticipated transactions. An institution
might also invest in more complex financial instruments intended to hedge or
otherwise change IRR. Interest rate swaps, futures contracts, options on
futures, and other such derivative financial instruments often are used for this
purpose. Because these instruments are sensitive to interest rate changes, they
require management expertise to be effective. The Corporation has not purchased
derivative financial instruments in the past and does not presently intend to
purchase such instruments.
Financial institutions are also subject to prepayment risk in falling rate
environments. For example, mortgage loans and other financial assets may be
prepaid by a debtor so that the debtor may refund its obligations at new, lower
rates. Prepayments of assets carrying higher rates reduce the Corporation's
interest income and overall asset yields. Certain
13
portions of an institution's liabilities may be short-term or due on demand,
while most of its assets may be invested in long-term loans or investments.
Accordingly, the Corporation seeks to have in place sources of cash to meet
short-term demands. These funds can be obtained by increasing deposits,
borrowing or selling assets. Also, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and short-
term borrowings provide additional sources of liquidity for the Corporation.

common stock was 727.
The Corporation declared four quarterly cash dividends in 1997 in the amount of
$0.2125 per share. These dividends were declared on January 3, April 16, July 9
and October 8, payable on January 22, May 1, July 23 and October 23,
respectively. Quarterly dividends of $0.175 per share were declared during each
of the four quarters of 1996.
The Corporation is not party to any loan agreement, indenture or other agreement
which restricts its ability to pay dividends; however, the Wisconsin Business
Corporation Law authorizes directors to declare and pay cash dividends only out
of the Corporation's unreserved and unrestricted earned surplus. See Note 13 to
the consolidated financial statements for restrictions imposed by regulatory
agencies upon the subsidiary bank's ability to transfer funds to the parent
corporation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Accounting Policies
The accounting policies followed by Tri City Bankshares Corporation (the
Corporation) and the methods of applying those principles which materially
affect the determination of its financial position, cash flows or results of
operations are summarized below.
Organization
Tri City Bankshares Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tri City
National Bank (the Bank), provide banking services to domestic markets,
primarily in the metropolitan Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area. The Corporation and
its subsidiary are subject to competition from other financial institutions. The
Corporation and its subsidiary are also subject to the regulations of certain
federal agencies and undergo periodic examinations by these regulatory
authorities.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation
and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated. The Corporation's investment in an unconsolidated affiliated
bank (see Note 4) is recorded using the equity method of accounting.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities
as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits and federal
funds sold.
21
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Investment Securities
Securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost if
management has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are designated as available-for-
sale and carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses net of income
taxes, reflected in stockholders' equity.
Interest and dividends are included in interest income from the related
securities as earned. Realized gains and losses are computed on a specific
identification basis and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are
included in gains (losses) on sale of securities.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The
cost of premises and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance costs are
expensed as incurred.
Interest on Loans
Interest on loans is computed on a daily basis based on the principal amount
outstanding. The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan becomes
90 days past due as to principal or interest. Management may elect to continue
the accrual of interest when the estimated fair value of collateral is
sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest.
Loan Fees and Related Costs
Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs
are being deferred and the net amounts are being amortized as an adjustment of
the related loan's yield. The Corporation is amortizing these amounts using the
level-yield method over the contractual life of the related loans. The net
deferred amounts related to loans sold are recognized as income at the time of
sale. Fees related to stand-by letters of credit are recognized over the
commitment period.
22
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan 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 on an evaluation of the
portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, volume,
growth, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the
estimated value of any underlying collateral and other relevant factors. The
allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to earnings and
reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
A substantial portion of the Bank's loans are to customers located in
southeastern Wisconsin. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a
substantial portion of the Bank's loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in
market conditions in that area.
Income Taxes
The Corporation and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax
return. The subsidiary provides for income taxes on a separate-return basis and
remits to the Corporation amounts determined to be currently payable.
The Corporation accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted regularly to amounts estimated to
be receivable or payable based on current tax law and the Corporation's tax
status.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during each year. The Company has no potentially
dilutive securities outstanding during the three years ended December 31, 1997.
The resulting number of shares used in computing basic earnings per share is
2,496,050, 2,479,393 and 2,464,770 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
23
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Interim Financial Data
The interim financial data (see Note 17) is unaudited; however, in management's
opinion, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal,
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the
interim periods.
Accounting Changes
The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities," as of January 1, 1997, which provides new
accounting and reporting standards for sales, securitization and servicing of
receivables and other financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. The
adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a significant impact on the financial
statements.
Pending Accounting Changes
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
SFAS No. 130 requires changes in the reporting of items which currently bypass
the income statement and which are recorded directly as a component of
stockholders' equity (comprehensive income). Current period comprehensive income
and its components must be displayed prominently in the financial statements. An
example of such an item would include unrealized gains and losses on available-
for-sale securities. The statement does not require a specific format for the
presentation of comprehensive income, but it does require that an amount
representing total comprehensive income be separately reported.
Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for
the reporting of financial information from operating segments in annual and
interim financial statements. This statement requires that financial information
be reported on the basis that it is reported internally for evaluating segment
performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.
Because these statements address how financial information is disclosed in
annual and interim reports, the adoption will have no material impact on the
financial statements. SFAS Nos. 130 and 131 will become effective in 1998.
24
2. Restrictions on Cash and Due From Bank Accounts
The subsidiary bank is required to maintain non-interest-earning reserve
balances with the Federal Reserve Bank or in vault cash. The amount of the
reserve requirement as of December 31, 1997 was approximately $8,386,000.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank grants loans to related parties,
which include certain directors and officers of the Corporation, and entities in
which such persons are principal shareholders. These loans are made at terms
which do not vary from terms that would have been obtained if the transactions
had been with unrelated parties and do not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility. Loans outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1996, to such related
parties approximated $2,329,000 and $2,133,000, respectively. During 1997,
$1,217,000 of new loans were made and repayments totaled $1,021,000. These
amounts have been restated to reflect changes in directors and officers of the
Corporation.

================================
8. Regulatory Capital
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
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, 1997, that the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the Office of the
Comptroller of Currency 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,
Tier I leverage ratios of 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively. There are no conditions
or events since that notification that management believes have changed the
institution's category.
28
8. Regulatory Capital (continued)
The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table.

9. Employee Benefit Plan
The Corporation has a contributory defined contribution 401(k) plan. This plan
covers all employees who have attained the age of 21 and completed one year of
service. Participants may contribute a portion of their compensation (up to IRS
limits) to the plan. The Corporation may make regular and matching contributions
to the plan each year. In 1997 and 1996, the Corporation provided a dollar-for-
dollar match of employee contributions up to 5%. Participants direct the
investment of their contributions into one or more investment options. The
Corporation recorded expense of $219,161, $215,457 and $206,349 for 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.
10. Income Taxes

===============================
11. Leases
The Corporation leases various banking facilities under operating lease
agreements from companies owned by a director and major shareholder of the
Corporation. All of the agreements include renewal options and one agreement
requires the Bank to pay insurance, real estate taxes and maintenance costs
associated with the lease. Rental amounts are subject to annual escalation based
upon increases in the Consumer Price Index. Aggregate rental expense under the
leases amounted to $521,712 in 1997, $440,156 in 1996, and $368,787 in 1995.
31
11. Leases (continued)

2002 82,860
2003 and thereafter 662,880
----------
Total minimum future rentals $ 1,841,946
==========
12. Short-Term Borrowings
Assets collateralizing Reverse Repurchase Agreements consist of U.S. government
and agency obligations held by the lender bank. At December 31, 1997, under
existing arrangements, the Bank could borrow up to $50,000,000 under reverse
repurchase agreements. The maximum amount of repurchase agreements outstanding
was $7,900,000 and $7,700,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The average amount of repurchase agreements was $1,747,140 and
$1,550,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. There
were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at December 31, 1997. There
were $1,850,000 in reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at December 31,
1996.
At December 31, 1997, the Bank had the ability to borrow federal funds of up to
$16,000,000 under a revolving line of credit agreement with lenders. Such
borrowings bear interest at the Bank's announced daily federal funds rate and
mature daily. There were no federal funds borrowings outstanding at December 31,
1997. There were $1,350,000 in federal funds borrowings outstanding at December
31, 1996. Other short-term borrowings represent treasury, tax and loan accounts
due to the Federal Reserve Bank under a $6,000,000 line of credit. Such amounts
are secured by a pledge of investment securities in the amount of $7,000,000 at
December 31, 1997.
32
13. Stockholders' Equity
Certain regulatory restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to
transfer funds to the Corporation in the form of cash dividends, loans or
advances. As of December 31, 1997, retained earnings of the Bank in the amount
of $13,137,688 were available for distribution to the Corporation as dividends
without prior approval of regulatory agencies.
Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is limited as to the amount it may
lend to its affiliates, including the Corporation. Such loans are required to be
collateralized by investments defined in the regulations. In addition, the
maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Corporation in the
form of loans is limited to 10% of the Bank's stockholders' equity in the case
of any one affiliate or 20% in the case of all affiliates.
14. Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit
Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the
Corporation's customers. Standby letters of credit commit the Corporation to
make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur.
Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in
extending loans to customers and are subject to the Corporation's normal credit
policies. Collateral (largely real estate) is required based on management's
credit assessment of the customer.
The Corporation's maximum credit exposure for loan commitments (unfunded loans
and unused lines of credit) and standby letters of credit outstanding at
December 31, 1997 was $24,037,000 and $2,715,000, respectively. All such
arrangements expire in fiscal 1998.
15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table discloses fair value information about financial
instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for
which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value
or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by
the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be
33
15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not
be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes
certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its
disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented
do not represent the underlying value of the Corporation.
The Corporation does not routinely measure the market value of financial
instruments such as is required by SFAS No. 107, because such measurements
represent point-in-time estimates of value. It is not the intent of the
Corporation to liquidate and therefore realize the difference between market
value and carrying value and even if it were, there is no assurance that the
estimated market values could be realized. Thus, the information presented is
not relevant to predicting the Corporation's future earnings or cash flows.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and
cash equivalents approximate those assets' 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
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently (within the twelve-month period
following the date of measurement), and with no significant credit risk, fair
values are based on carrying values. The fair values for all other loans are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently
being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit
quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
34
15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments
Fair values for the Corporation's off-balance-sheet instruments (lending
commitments and standby letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged
to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of such
instruments at December 31, 1997 and 1996, is not material.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest
checking, passbook savings and certain types of money market accounts) are,
equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their
carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate fixed-term money
market accounts and certificates of deposit and fixed-rate certificates of
deposit scheduled to mature or reprice within the twelve-month period following
the date of measurement approximates their fair value at the reporting date.
Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit scheduled to mature or
reprice after twelve months from the date of measurement are estimated using a
discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being
offered on similar certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly
maturities of the time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest
approximates its fair value.
Short-Term Borrowings
The carrying amount of short-term borrowings and related accrued interest,
approximates their fair values at the reporting date.
35
15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments
consisted of the following at December 31, 1997 and 1996:

Bankshares Corporation as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Tri
City Bankshares Corporation at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
