MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 1997
The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the year-to-date ended September 30, 1997.
Financial condition
Loans
As of September 30, 1997, loans outstanding were $215 million an increase
of $20.6 million or 10.6% from December 31, 1996. During this nine month
period, Real Estate loans increased by $20 million or 13.7%. The increase
in real estate loans is represented by an increase of $8.3 million in
Commercial Real Estate or 20.4%; a $2.5 million or 21.9% increase in Home
Equity loans; and $2.5 million or 3.79% increase in 1-4 Family Residential
loans. Farmland loans also increased by $7.5 million, which is represented
by a reclassification of loans from 1-4 Family Residential loans and growth
respectively. At September 30, 1997, Construction and Land Development
loans were at $23.4 million or 10.9% of total loans, Residential Real
Estate loans were at $67.7 million or 31.5% of total loans, and Commercial
loans were at $31 million or 14.4% of total loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for possible loan losses was $3.1 million or 1.45% of gross
loans on September 30, 1997, compared with $2.9 million or 1.49% of gross
loans on December 31, 1996. Net charge-offs for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, were -$11 thousand, or -.01% of gross loans, compared to
$17 thousand or .01% of gross loans for the same period in 1996. As of
September 30, 1997, loans on non-accrual status totaled 2.3 million or 1.05%
of gross loans, compared to $217 thousand or .12% of gross loans on September
30, 1996, and $260 thousand or .13% of gross loans on December 31, 1996.
The non-accrual loans consisted primarily of commercial and industrial
loans. On September 30, 1997, the ratio of non-accrual loans to the
allowance for loan losses was 72.8% compared to 9% on December 31, 1996.
The Banks evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based
on an analysis of specific problem loans, as well as on an aggregate basis.
Management reviews a calculation of the allowance for loan losses on a
quarterly basis and feels that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to
provide for potential future losses. The level of the allowance is based on
management's periodic and comprehensive evaluation of the loan portfolio,
including past loan loss experience; current and projected economic trends;
the volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio; and other relevant
factors. Reports of examinations furnished by State and Federal banking
authorities are also considered by management in this regard.
During this nine month period ended September 30, 1997, $223 thousand was
charged to current earnings and added to the allowance for loan losses.
Investment securities - Available for Sale
The securities available-for-sale portfolio showed a slight increase of $41
thousand from December 31, 1996, to September 30, 1997.
Deposits and Borrowed Funds
As of September 30, 1997, total deposits were $246.9 million, which is an in-
crease of $12.1 million or 5.13% from December 31, 1996. Interest Bearing
Transaction Accounts decreased $5.2 million or 20.4%. Demand deposits
decreased 1.8 million or 5.0% since December 31, 1996. Time deposits
increased $12.4 million or 12.7% since December 31, 1996. Securities sold
under agreements to repurchase decreased $13.6 million or 43.9%.
Asset/Liability Management
The principal function of asset/liability management is to
manage the balance sheet mix, maturities, repricing characteristics
and pricing components to provide an adequate and stable net
interest margin with an acceptable level of risk over time and
through interest rate cycles.
Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those that are
subject to repricing within a specific relevant time horizon. The
Company measures interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, and
their relationship with each other at terms of immediate, quarterly
intervals up to 1 year, and over 1 year.
Changes in net interest income, other than volume-related,
arise when interest rates on assets reprice in a time frame or
interest rate environment that is different from the repricing
period for liabilities. Changes in net interest income also arise
from changes in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities.
The Company's strategy with respect to asset/liability
management is to maximize net interest income while limiting our
exposure to a potential downward movement. Strategy is implemented
by the Bank's management, which takes action based upon its
analysis of the Bank's present positioning, its desired future
positioning, economic forecasts and its goals.
Liquidity
The liquidity position of the Company is managed to insure
that sufficient funds are available to meet customers' needs for
loans and deposit withdrawals. Liquidity to meet demand is
provided by maintaining marketable investment securities and money
market assets such as Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks and
Federal Funds Sold. The banks are members of the Federal Home
Loan Bank system which provides the company with an additional source
of liquidity.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repos) declined by
$13.6 million. This decline was funded by a decrease in Cash and
by a shift in funds from Repos to Deposits. Total Loans increased
$20 million. This increase was funded by the $12.1 million increase
in Deposit balances and a $7.9 million decrease in Federal Funds Sold.
Management is unaware of any recommendations by regulatory
authorities, known trends, events or uncertainties that will have
or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the
Company's liquidity.
Results of Operations Overview
For the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 the Company reported
earnings of $2.1 million a decrease of $24 thousand or 1.14% over the
same period in 1996.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was
$8.6 million compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 1996. The
increase in net interest income is the result of a $1.9 million increase
in interest income and only a $1.1 million increase in interest expense.
The increase in interest income is a result of a 18.0% increase in average
loan balances. The increase in interest expense is due to increased rates
paid and increased average balances of 20.8%.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Banks have established the allowance for loan losses to reduce
the gross level of loans outstanding by an estimate of uncollectible
loans. As loans are deemed uncollectible, they are charged against
the allowance. A provision for loan losses is expensed against current
income on a monthly basis. This provision acts to replenish the
allowance for loan losses to accommodate charge-offs and growth in the
loan portfolio, thereby maintaining the allowance at an adequate level.
During the first nine months of 1997, provisions charged against
1996 income were $223 thousand which was a decrease of 9.7% as compared
to the same period in 1996.
Non-interest income and expense
Non-interest income for the first nine months of 1997 increased $344 thousand
or 28.2% from the same period in 1996. This increase is due primarily to
increased income from service charges on deposit, which increased $233
thousand or 38.6%.
Non-interest expense for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to the
same period during 1996 increased $1.4 million or 24.5%. Occupancy
expense decreased $17 thousand or 3.4%, and equipment expense increased
$128 thousand or 21.5%. Employee expense showed the largest increase
of $723 thousand or 23%. These increases are a result of an increase
in personnel and new locations.

BURLINGTON, WISCONSIN
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996, 1995, 1994
Note A: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements of First Banking Center,
Inc. include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, First
Banking Center - Burlington and First Banking Center - Albany.
First Banking Center - Burlington includes the accounts of its
wholly owned subsidiary, First Banking Center Burlington
Investment Corporation. The consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles and conform to general practices within the
banking industry. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.
Nature of banking activities:
The consolidated income of First Banking Center, Inc. is
principally from income of the two bank subsidiaries. The
subsidiary Banks grant agribusiness, commercial, residential and
consumer loans, accepts deposits and provides trust services to
customers primarily in southeastern and south central Wisconsin.
The subsidiary Banks are subject to competition from other
financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing
financial products. Additionally the Company and the subsidiary
Banks are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory
agencies and undergo periodic examination by those regulatory
agencies.
Basis of financial statement presentation:
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 revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold
and investments with an original maturity of nine months or
less. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
The subsidiary Banks maintain amounts due from banks which, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. The subsidiary Banks
have not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Held to maturity securities:
Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt
securities the subsidiary Banks have both the intent and ability
to hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions,
liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions. These
securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of
premium and accretion of discount, computed by the interest
method over their contractual lives. The sale of a security
within nine months of its maturity date or after collection of
at least 85 percent of the principal outstanding at the time the
security was acquired is considered a maturity for purposes of
classification and disclosure.
Available for sale securities:
Securities classified as available for sale are those debt
securities that the subsidiary Banks intend to hold for an
indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any
decision to sell a security classified as available for sale
would be based on various factors, including significant
movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the
subsidiary Banks' assets and liabilities, liquidity needs,
regulatory capital consideration, and other similar factors.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value.
Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases
in stockholders' equity, net of the related deferred tax effect.
Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of
specific securities sold, are included in earnings.
Trading securities:
Trading securities, which are generally held for the short term,
usually under 90 days, in anticipation of market gains, are
carried at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses
on trading account assets are included in interest income on
trading account securities.
Loans:
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at
the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by the allowance for loan
losses. Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple
interest method on daily balances of the principal amount
outstanding. The accrual of interest income on impaired loans is
discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is
reasonable doubt as to the borrower's ability to meet payment of
interest or principal when they become due. When interest
accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.
Cash collections on impaired loans are credited to the loan
receivable balance, and no interest income is recognized on those
loans until the principal balance is current. Accrual of
interest is generally resumed when the customer is current on all
principal and interest payments and has been paying on a timely
basis for a period of time.
Allowance for loan losses:
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision
for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the
allowance for loan losses when management believes that the
collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an
amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb
possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible,
based on evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loan
loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such
factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem
loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the
borrower's ability to pay. While management uses the best
information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments
to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant
changes in economic conditions. Impaired loans are measured
based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a
practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
A loan is impaired when it is probable the creditor will be
unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments
due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the
allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the banks
to make additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their
judgments of collectibility based on information available to
them at the time of their examination.
Office buildings and equipment:
Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Provisions for depreciation are computed on
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which range from 15 to 50 years for
buildings and 3 to 15 years for equipment.
Profit-sharing plan:
The Company has established a trusteed contributory 401(k) profit-
sharing plan for qualified employees. The Company's policy is to
fund contributions as accrued.
Other real estate owned:
Other real estate owned, acquired through partial or total
satisfaction of loans is carried at the lower of cost or fair
value less cost to sell. At the date of acquisition losses are
charged to the allowance for loan losses. Revenue and expenses
from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are
included in loss on foreclosed real estate.
Income taxes:
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and
individual subsidiary state income tax returns. Accordingly,
amounts equal to tax benefits of those companies having taxable
federal losses or credits are reimbursed by the other companies
that incur federal tax liabilities.
Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income
reported for financial statement purposes and do not necessarily
represent amounts currently payable under tax laws. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible
amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. As changes in tax laws or rates are
enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through
the provision for income taxes. The differences relate
principally to the reserve for loan losses, nonaccrual loan
income, deferred compensation and pension, fixed assets and
unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments:
In the ordinary course of business the subsidiary Banks have
entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting
of commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card
arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of
credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial
statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or
received.
Trust assets and fees:
Property held for customers in fiduciary or agency capacities is
not included in the accompanying balance sheet, since such items
are not assets of the Company. In accordance with established
industry practice, income from trust fees is reported on the cash
basis. Reporting of trust fees on an accrual basis would have no
material effect on reported income.
Earnings per share:
Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during
each year. In the computation of weighted average shares
outstanding all dilutive stock options are assumed to be
exercised at the beginning of each year and the proceeds are used
to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the average
market price during the year. Fully diluted earnings per share
are computed in a similar manner except, to reflect maximum
potential dilution, the market price at the close of the reported
period is used if higher than the average market price during the
year.
Fair value of financial instruments:
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107,
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires
disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, 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. Those
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
substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many
cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the
instrument. Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial
instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the
aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the
underlying value of the Company.

estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Carrying amounts approximate fair values for the following
instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents
Federal funds sold
Short-term borrowing
Accrued interest receivable
Accrued interest payable
Variable rate loans that reprice frequently where no
significant change in credit risk has occurred
Demand deposits
Variable rate money market accounts
Variable rate certificate of deposit
Trading account securities
Available for sale securities
Quoted market prices:
Where available, or if not available, based on quoted
market prices of comparable instruments for the
following instrument:
Held to maturity securities
Discounted cash flows:
Using interest rates currently being offered on
instruments with similar terms and with similar
credit quality:
All loans except variable rate loans described above
Fixed rate certificates of deposit
Notes payable and other borrowing
Quoted fees currently being charged for similar
instruments:
Taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the counterparties' credit standing:
Off-balance-sheet instruments:
Guarantees
Letters of credit
Lending commitments
Since the majority of the Company's off-balance-sheet instruments
consists of nonfee-producing, variable rate commitments, the
Company had determined it does not have a distinguishable fair
value.
