Interim Financial Statements Interim consolidated financial statements have not been examined by independent public accountants, but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for these periods. The results of operation for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on hand and amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing). Cash flows from demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts, and federal funds purchased and sold are reported net since their original maturities are less than three months. Cash flows from loans and time deposits are presented as net increases or decreases. Note 2.

PART I, ITEM 2. HILLS BANCORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION These financial statements include for the first time the acquisition of the Lisbon Bank and Trust Company on July 12, 1996 and the purchase of certain assets and assumption of deposits of the Kalona, Iowa branch office of Boatmen's Bank of Iowa, Inc. on September 20, 1996. The acquisitions accounted for approximately $40 million in asset growth, $22 million in net loan increase, an increase of $18 million in investment securities and other assets, and $40 million in deposits and other funding sources growth. The acquisitions required resources of $7.6 million. The consolidated balance sheet of Hills Bancorporation as of September 30, 1996 reflects total assets of $536.8 million which is an increase of $52.2 million from December 31, 1995. Net loans are $360.9 million which represents an increase of $42.3 million from December 31, 1995. Compared to one year ago, total assets have increased from $470.3 million to $536.8 million for an increase of $66.5 million. Also since September, 1995, net loans increased $44.3 million to $360.9 million as of September 30, 1996. These loan increases were the result of the $22 million in loans acquired in the two acquisitions discussed above and increases primarily in single family residential loans in the Iowa City and Coralville area. Investment securities total $133.8 million as of September 30, 1996, an increase of $12.2 million from December 31, 1995 and an $18.2 million increase in investment securities since September 30, 1995. Federal funds sold decreased primarily due to the acquisitions and the increase in net loans. Interest rates on investment securities increased during the last nine months ending September 30, 1996 resulting in a net change in unrealized losses on investment securities of $967,000. This had the effect of decreasing stockholders' equity by $609,000 at September 30, 1996. Comparing this component of equity between September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996 a decrease of $229,000 was shown. Deposits (when federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are included) as of September 30, 1996 totaled $456.1 million, an increase of $53.8 million in nine months. September 30, 1996 deposits, including repos, have grown $66.5 million since September 30, 1995. Borrowings from the FHLB have decreased from $30,727,000 to $25,795,000 during the last twelve months. Significant changes in the balance sheet are subject to asset-liability management, which encompasses both the management of interest rate sensitivity and the maintenance of adequate liquidity. Interest rate sensitivity management attempts to provide the optimal level of net interest income while managing exposure to risks associated with interest rate movements. Liquidity management involves planning to meet anticipated funding needs. Management monitors the rate sensitivity and liquidity positions on an on-going basis and, when necessary, appropriate action is taken to minimize any adverse effects of rapid interest rate movements or any unexpected liquidity concerns. In January 1996, Hills Bancorporation paid a dividend of $.95 per share, a 9.20% increase from the $.87 paid in January 1995. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 reflects an adjustment for unrealized gain (losses) on debt securities, net of income taxes. The total stockholders' equity as of September 30, 1996 (before the reduction for the ESOP shares) as a percent of total assets was 9.52%. Under risk-based capital rules, total capital is 15.05% of risk-adjusted assets, compared to the current 8% requirement. The consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $4,561,000 compared to $3,822,000 for the same period ended September 30, 1995. This is an increase of $739,000 representing an earnings per share for the nine months of $3.09 compared to $2.60 for the same nine months in 1995. Net interest income for 1996 is up by $1,296,000 over 1995 and is primarily the result of earning assets being $36.1 million higher in 1996 compared to 1995. The provisions for loan losses are $547,000 and $540,000 for the periods presented and is reflective of management's assessment of the loan portfolio. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $1,580,000 and $1,439,000; respectively. This represents an increase in earnings per common share of $.09 from $.98 per share to $1.07 per share. The primary factor for the increase is an increase of net interest income due to a higher volume of earning assets. Other income of the bank was $2,862,000 compared to $2,608,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Loan origination fees amounted to $281,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to $215,000 in 1995. Trust fees were $603,000 and $482,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively and represents primarily an increase in accounts under management. Other expenses have increased from $8,223,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $8,671,000 for the period ended September 30, 1996. Of this net increase of $448,000, salaries and employee benefits accounted for a $424,000 increase. This is a combination of salary increases and the number of full-time equivalent employees increasing from September 30, 1995 to September 30, 1996 by sixteen employees due in large measure to the Lisbon and Kalona purchases. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, the major increase in net income is accounted for by a reduction of F.D.I.C. insurance premiums from $412,000 in 1995 to $1,000 in 1996. Occupancy, furniture and equipment, office supplies and the other operating expenses totaled $4,000,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 1996 compared to $3,976,000 for the same period in 1995. This small increase is the result of $387,000 in savings in F.D.I.C. insurance premiums in 1996 compared to 1995. Federal and state income taxes for 1996 are more than in 1995, primarily the result of increased income before taxes. The Bank's principal sources of funds continues to be deposit growth, prepayment of loan principal and current amortized loan payments. In addition, funds are provided from current operations. All of the funds are used to fulfill loan commitments, make short-term investments, and fund any deposit withdrawals needed. The Company has no material commitments or plans which will materially affect its liquidity or capital resources. The acquisition of property and equipment may be in cash purchases, or they may be financed if favorable terms are available. HILLS BANCORPORATION PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
