banking   business  and  provides  full  service   banking  to  individuals  and
businesses,  including checking, savings and other deposit accounts,  commercial
loans, consumer loans, real estate loans, safe deposit facilities,  transmitting
of funds,  trust  services,  and such other  banking  services  as are usual and
customary for commercial banks.

Significant accounting policies:

Accounting Estimates:

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amount  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 reporting  period.  A
significant  estimate  which is  particularly  susceptible  to change in a short
period of time relates to the  determination  of the  allowance for loan losses.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation:

The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,  First National Bank of Muscatine and
First National Bank in Fairfield (Banks). All material intercompany accounts and
transactions  have been  eliminated  in  consolidation.  The  unaudited  interim
financial statements presented reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion
of  management,  necessary  to a fair  statement  of the results for the interim
periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Presentation of cash flows:

For  purposes of reporting  cash flows,  cash and due from banks  includes  cash
on-hand,  amounts due from banks,  and cash items in process of  clearing.  Cash
flows from federal funds sold and other overnight investments,  loans, deposits,
securities sold under  agreements to repurchase,  and treasury tax and loan open
note are reported net.

Investment securities available for sale:

Securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value and the unrealized
holding gains or losses are presented as a separate  component of  stockholders'
equity, net of their deferred income tax effect.

Realized gains or losses, determined using the  specific-identification  method,
are included in earnings.

Declines in the fair value of  individual  available-for-sale  securities  below
their cost that are other than  temporary  would  result in  write-downs  of the
individual  securities  to their fair value.  The related  write-downs  would be
included in earnings as realized losses.

Premiums and  discounts  are  recognized  in interest  income using the interest
method over the period to maturity.  There were no investments  held to maturity
or for trading purposes at quarter-end.
<PAGE>


Loans:

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount
and an allowance for loan losses. The Banks record impaired loans at the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective  interest
rate,  or as an  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.  The Banks  recognize  interest  income on  impaired  loans on a cash
basis.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at the level considered  adequate by
management   of  the  Banks  to  provide  for  losses  that  can  be  reasonably
anticipated.  The  allowance  is increased  by  provisions  charged to operating
expense and  reduced by net  charge-offs.  In  determining  the  adequacy of the
allowance  balance,  the  Banks  make  continuous  credit  reviews  of the  loan
portfolio and related  off-balance sheet commitments,  consider current economic
conditions,  historical loan loss  experience,  review of specific problem loans
and other factors.

Unearned  interest on  discounted  loans is amortized to income over the life of
the loans using the interest  method.  For all other loans,  interest is accrued
daily on the outstanding balances. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan
when  management  believes,  after  considering  collection  efforts  and  other
factors,  that the  borrower's  financial  condition is such that  collection of
interest is doubtful.  Generally  this occurs when the collection of interest or
principal has become 90 days past due.

Direct loan and lease  origination  fees and costs are generally  being deferred
and the net amount  amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield.  The
Banks  generally  amortize these amounts over the contractual  life.  Commitment
fees based  upon a  percentage  of  customers'  unused  lines of credit and fees
related to standby letters of credit are not significant.

Bank premises and equipment:

Bank premises and equipment  are stated at cost less  accumulated  depreciation.
Depreciation  is  computed  primarily  by  the  straight-line  method  based  on
estimated useful lives.

Other assets:

Other  real  estate  (ORE),  which  is  included  in  other  assets,  represents
properties  acquired  through  foreclosure,  in-substance  foreclosure  or other
proceedings.  ORE is  recorded  at the  lower of the  amount of the loan or fair
market value of the properties.  Any write-down to fair market value at the time
of  transfer to ORE is charged to the  allowance  for loan  losses.  Property is
evaluated  regularly  to ensure that the  recorded  amount is  supported  by the
current fair market value.  Subsequent  write-downs to fair value are charged to
earnings.

Income taxes:

The Company  files its tax return on a  consolidated  basis with its  subsidiary
banks.  The entities  follow the direct  reimbursement  method of accounting for
income  taxes  under  which  income  taxes  or  credits  which  result  from the
subsidiary  banks'  inclusion  in the  consolidated  tax  return  are paid to or
received from the parent company.

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability  method  whereby  deferred tax assets
are recognized for deductible  temporary  differences and operating loss and tax
credit  carryforwards  and  deferred  liabilities  are  recognized  for  taxable
temporary  differences.  Temporary  differences are the differences  between the
reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and their tax bases.  Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation  allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred  assets will
not be  realized.  Deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  are  adjusted  for the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Trust assets:

Trust assets (other than cash deposits) held by the Banks in fiduciary or agency
capacities for its customers are not included in the  accompanying  consolidated
balance sheets since such items are not assets of the Banks.

Fair value of financial instruments:

FAS No. 107,  Disclosures  about Fair  Market  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.  Interim condensed financial statements are not required to
include the disclosures outlined by FAS 107 and,  accordingly,  are not included
herein.

Note 2.  Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share

Common shares and preferred stock  authorized total 6,000,000 shares and 500,000
shares,  respectively.  Basic  earnings  per share is arrived at by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock  outstanding for
the respective period.  Diluted earnings per share is arrived at by dividing net
income  by the  weighted  average  number  of  common  stock  and  common  stock
equivalents  outstanding for the respective period. The average number of shares
of  common  stock  outstanding  for the  second  quarter  of 2000 and 1999  were
1,530,258 and  1,532,424,  respectively.  The average number of shares of common
stock  outstanding  for the first six months of 2000 and 1999 were 1,533,398 and
1,532,424, respectively. There were no common stock equivalents in 2000 or 1999.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

The  Company's  total assets at June 30, 2000,  were  $371,469,000.  Muscatine's
total assets were $276,738,000  which reflects a $4,338,000 (1.6%) increase from
December 31, 1999,  total assets.  Fairfield's  total assets were $94,183,000 at
June 30,  2000,  which is a decrease  of  $3,465,000  (3.5%)  when  compared  to
December 31, 1999,  total assets.  Total  consolidated  assets increased by 0.1%
during the first six months of 2000.

Net loans totaled 275,245,000 at June 30, 2000. Net loans at Muscatine increased
by  $7,294,000  (3.7%)  during  the first six  months.  Net loans  increased  at
Fairfield by $959,000 (1.4%) during the first six months. Consolidated net loans
increased by $8,253,000 (3.1%) year-to-date.

Total available for sale securities  increased  $5,581,000  during the first six
months of 2000  while  federal  funds sold  decreased  $9.9  million.  The Banks
emphasize  purchase of securities with maturities of five years and less as such
purchases  offer  reasonable  yields with little  credit risk as well as limited
interest rate risk.  Additionally,  selected  securities with longer  maturities
have  been  purchased  in order  to  enhance  overall  portfolio  yield  without
significantly  increasing  risk.  At June 30, 2000,  less than 40% of investment
securities  mature in more than five years and less than 15% mature in more than
ten years.  One  security has been sold during the year with  proceeds  totaling
$18,000. A gain of $8,000 was recognized on this sale.

Total  deposits at June 30,  2000,  were  $263,401,000.  Deposits  at  Muscatine
decreased  $2,670,000 (1.4%) from the prior year end. Fairfield's total deposits
decreased  $3,503,000 (4.4%) during the same period.  This represents a combined
deposit  decrease of 2.3% for the  Company  during the first six months of 2000.
Additionally,   securities  sold  under   agreements  to  repurchase   decreased
$1,150,000  and  advances  borrowed  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank  increased
$7,042,000 to total $71.7 million at quarter end.

Results of Operations

Consolidated  net  income  was  $1,016,000,  or $.66 per  share,  for the second
quarter of 2000. This was $141,000 or 16.1% more than the same period last year.
For the first six  months,  net  income  totaled  $1,900,000  or $1.24 per share
compared to  $1,684,000 or $1.10 per share last year.  Net interest  income grew
from the  second  quarter  of 1999 to the  second  quarter  of 2000 by  $185,000
(6.6%),  other income  increased  over the same period by $74,000  (15.1%),  and
operating  expenses  increased  $22,000 or only 1.2%.  For the six month  period
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same six month period in 1999,  net interest
margin increased $320,000 (5.8%),  other income increased $135,000 (14.3%),  and
operating expenses rose $133,000 or only 3.4%.

The  Company  has been able to expand net  interest  income,  as compared to the
prior year by actively managing asset quality, growth of the loan portfolio, and
rates paid on assets and  liabilities.  Management  has  expressed  concern  for
several quarters, however, as to the ability to continue increasing net interest
income  each  successive  quarter.  The  increased  usage of  wholesale  funding
sources,  while  mitigating  intermediate  and  long-term  interest  rate  risk,
increases  interest  expense.  The  interest  expense  associated  with the debt
incurred to purchase  treasury  shares  also adds  pressure to the net  interest
income.  Finally,  the intense  competition  for all types of loans and deposits
does not afford the Company much pricing power when dealing with customers.

Provisions  for loan losses were  $117,000  and  $159,000  for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000. This was $7,000 less than the six month period ended
June 30,1999.  Net loan charge-offs  totaled $61,000 during the first six months
of 2000. This represents only 0.02% of quarter-end net loans.

Nonaccrual  loans  totaled  $590,000 at June 30,  2000.  Other real estate owned
totaled $366,000,  and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing totaled
$295,000. The reserve for loan losses of $3,190,000 represents 1.2% of net loans
and 255% of total nonaccrual loans,  other real estate owned, and loans past due
90 days or more and still accruing.

The  efficiency  ratio,  defined  as  noninterest  expense  as a percent  of net
interest income plus noninterest  income,  was 57.8% for the first six months of
2000  compared to 59.7% for all of 1999. A lower  efficiency  ratio  signifies a
more efficiently operated organization.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company  manages its balance  sheet to minimize the impact of interest  rate
movements on its earnings.  The term "rate sensitive" refers to those assets and
liabilities  which are  "sensitive" to  fluctuations  in rates and yields.  When
interest  rates move,  earnings may be affected in many ways.  Interest rates on
assets and liabilities  may change at different  times or by different  amounts.
Maintaining a proper  balance  between rate  sensitive  earning  assets and rate
sensitive   liabilities  is  the  principal  function  of  asset  and  liability
management of a banking organization.

A positive  repricing gap for a given period exists when total  interest-earning
assets exceed total interest-bearing  liabilities and a negative gap exists when
total  interest-bearing  liabilities are in excess of  interest-earning  assets.
Generally a positive  repricing gap will result in increased net interest income
in a rising rate environment and decreased net interest income in a falling rate
environment.  A negative  repricing gap tends to produce  increased net interest
income in a falling rate  environment  and  decreased  net interest  income in a
rising rate environment.  At June 30, 2000, rate sensitive  liabilities exceeded
rate sensitive assets within a one year maturity range and, thus, the Company is
theoretically  positioned to benefit from a decline in interest rates within the
next year.

The Company's  repricing gap position is useful for measuring  general  relative
risk  levels.  However,  even with  perfectly  matched  repricing  of assets and
liabilities,  interest rate risk cannot be avoided entirely.  Interest rate risk
remains in the form of prepayment risk of assets and liabilities, timing lags in
adjusting  certain assets and  liabilities  that have varying  sensitivities  to
market interest rates, and basis risk. Basis risk refers to the possibility that
the repricing  behavior of variable-rate  assets could differ from the repricing
characteristics  of  liabilities  which  reprice in the same time  period.  Even
though  these  assets are  match-funded,  the spread  between  asset  yields and
funding costs could change.

Because the  repricing  gap position  does not capture  these risks,  Management
utilizes simulation modeling to measure and manage the rate sensitivity exposure
of earnings.  The Company's simulation model provides a projection of the effect
on net interest  income of various  interest  rate  scenarios  and balance sheet
strategies.

Liquidity

For  banks,  liquidity  represents  ability  to meet both loan  commitments  and
deposit withdrawals.  Factors which influence the need for liquidity are varied,
but include general economic  conditions,  asset/liability mix, bank reputation,
future  FDIC  funding  needs,  changes  in  regulatory  environment,  and credit
standing.  Assets which provide liquidity consist principally of loans, cash and
due from  banks,  investment  securities,  and  short-term  investments  such as
federal funds.  Maturities of securities  held for investment  purposes and loan
payments   provide  a  constant   flow  of  funds   available  for  cash  needs.
Additionally,  liquidity can be gained by the sale of loans or securities  prior
to maturity if such assets had previously been designated as available for sale.
Interest  rates,  relative to the rate paid by the security or loan sold,  along
with the maturity of the  security or loan,  are the major  determinates  of the
price which can be realized upon sale.

The subsidiary banks do not have brokered deposits.

The  stability  of the  Company's  funding,  and  thus  its  ability  to  manage
liquidity,  is greatly enhanced by its consumer deposit base.  Consumer deposits
tend to be small in size,  diversified  across a large base of individuals,  and
are  government  insured to the extent  permitted by law. Total deposits at June
30, 2000, were $263,401,000 or 71% of total liabilities and equity.

Securities  available for sale with a cost totaling  $69,584,000  at quarter-end
included net unrealized  losses of $1,053,000.  These  securities may be sold in
whole or in part to increase liquid assets, reposition the investment portfolio,
or for other purposes as defined by Management.

Capital

Retained  earnings  increased  $695,000 during the three months,  and $1,257,000
during the six months, ended June 30, 2000.

The  Company  has  repurchased  during the first six  months of the year  11,860
shares of its common stock for a total cost of $272,000.

Federal regulatory agencies have adopted various capital standards for financial
institutions,  including risk-based capital standards. The primary objectives of
the risk-based  capital  framework are to provide a more  consistent  system for
comparing capital  positions of financial  institutions and to take into account
the  different   inherent  risks  among  financial   institutions'   assets  and
off-balance-sheet items.

Risk-based  capital  standards have been  supplemented  with  requirements for a
minimum Tier 1 capital to assets ratio (leverage ratio). In addition, regulatory
agencies consider the published capital levels as minimum levels and may require
a Financial Institution to maintain capital at higher levels.

A comparison of the Company's  capital as of June 30, 2000 with the requirements
to be considered adequately capitalized is presented below.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in
accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  which require the
measurement of financial  position and operating  results in terms of historical
dollars without  considering  changes in the relative  purchasing power of money
over time due to inflation.  Unlike most industrial companies,  virtually all of
the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.

As a result,  interest  rates  have a more  significant  impact  on a  financial
institution's  performance  than the  effects  of general  levels of  inflation.
Interest  rates do not  necessarily  move in the same  direction  or in the same
magnitude  as the price of goods and  services.  In the  current  interest  rate
environment,  liquidity and the maturity  structure of the Company's  assets and
liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

Trends, Events or Uncertainties

Officers  and  Directors of the Company and its  subsidiaries  have had, and may
have in the future,  banking  transactions in the ordinary course of business of
the Company's subsidiaries.  All such transactions are on substantially the same
terms, including interest rates on loans and collateral,  as those prevailing at
the time for comparable  transactions  with others,  involve no more than normal
risk of collectibility, and present no other unfavorable features.

In the normal  course of  business,  the Banks are  involved  in  various  legal
proceedings.  In the current opinion of management, any liability resulting from
such  proceedings  would not have a material  effect on the Company's  financial
statements.
