NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1. 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 3. Changes in Accounting Policies
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement #130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", and Statement #131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". Statement #130 establishes
standards for reporting comprehensive income in financial statements.
Statement #131 expands certain reporting and disclosure requirements for
segments from current standards. The Statements are effective for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. The company has presented a Statement of
Comprehensive Income. Statement #131 has no effect on the interim period
financial statements.
PART I, ITEM 2.
HILLS BANCORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated balance sheet of Hills Bancorporation as of March 31, 1998
reflects total assets of $627.5 million which is an increase of $24.4 million
from December 31, 1997. Net loans from $431.0 million which represents an
increase of $18.8 million from December 31, 1997. Compared to one year ago,
total assets have increased from $556.1 million to $627.5 million for an
increase of $71.4 million. Also during this time, net loans increased $48.1
million to $431.0 million as of March 31, 1998. These loan increases were
primarily single family residential loans in the Iowa City and Coralville area.
Federal funds sold increased during the first quarter of 1998 by $15.8 million
and have increased from March 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998 by $18.1 million. This
increase is primarily excess funds that will be used for loan demand and other
investments during the balance of 1998. In January and February of 1998 Hills
Bank and Trust Company took advantage of lower interest rates on four and five
year advances available from the Federal Home Loan Bank and borrowed a net $25
million since December 31, 1997 and a net $40 million since March 31, 1997.
These advances are secured by 1-4 family mortgage loans.
Total deposits, including federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, total $487.6 million at March 31, 1998 and this is a
decrease of $1.2 million from the December 31, 1997 balances. Deposits and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased from $462.0 million at
March 31,1997 to $487.6 million at March 31, 1998, an increase of $25.6 million.
The large increase on the liability side of the balance sheet is the increase
discussed above in Federal Home Loan Bank notes. Asset-liability management
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 1998, Hills Bancorporation paid a dividend of $1.20 per share, a
14.29% increase from the $1.05 paid in January 1997. The total dividend of
$1,762,000 is deducted form stockholders' equity and is reflected in the
resulting stockholders' equity as of March 31, 1998 of $51,538,000.
Stockholders' equity at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 reflects an
adjustment for unrealized gain (losses) on debt securities, net of income taxes.
The total stockholders' equity of Hills Bancorporation before the reduction for
the ESOP shares as a percent of total assets is 9.46%. Under risk-based capital
rules, total capital is 15.11% of risk adjusted assets, compared to the current
8% requirement.
Net income for the three months ending March 31, 1998 and 1997 is $1,844,000 and
$1,611,000 respectively. This is an increase of $233,000 or 14.46%. Earnings per
share, both basic and diluted increased for the quarter ending March 31, 1998
compared to 1997. For the period ending March 31, 1998 basic and diluted
earnings per share were $1.26 and $1.24 in comparison to $1.10 and $1.09 for the
quarter ending March 31, 1997. The increase in net income is due primarily to a
$471,000 increase in net interest income due to the volume of average earning
assets increasing by approximately $71 million between the two quarters ending
March 31, 1998 and 1997 respectively. Other income increased from the prior year
quarter ending March 31st by $291,000, which was the result of trust fees
increasing $153,000 due to an increase in volume of trust assets under
management and loan origination fees rising $93,000 as a result of lower
interest rates. Other operating expenses are up $440,000 as a result of more
full time equivalent employees, increased data processing expenses and the
addition of the Mount Vernon office of Hills Bank.
The Bank's principal sources of funds continues to be 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
