Item 1. Description of Business


                                  Introduction

     The Middleton Doll Company (the "Company") was incorporated in February,
1980 to provide long-term collateralized loans to small businesses. At present
the Company consists of two business segments, the Financial Services Business
and the Consumer Products Business.

     The Financial Services Business segment consists of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Bando McGlocklin Small Business Lending Corporation
(BMSBLC). Both the Company and BMSBLC are operated as a real estate investment
trust ("REIT") pursuant to the provisions of Section 856 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. The principal business of the segment is making
mortgage loans and leasing buildings to small businesses. The segment also
participates in mortgage loans with third party loan originators.

     The Consumer Products Business segment consists of a 99% interest in Lee
Middleton Original Dolls, Inc. ("LMOD"). George R. Schonath, President and Chief
Executive Officer, owns the remaining 1% of the stock of LMOD. LMOD is a
manufacturer of vinyl collectible dolls and a distributor of vinyl play dolls.
LMOD has a wholly-owned subsidiary, License Products, Inc. ("LPI"), that
designs, develops and markets a line of quality, proprietary time pieces. On
January 1, 2002, LMOD, which previously owned 51% of LPI, acquired the remaining
outstanding 49% interest in LPI. Also during 2002, LMOD disposed of its 51%
interest in Middleton (HK) Limited ("MHK"), a Hong Kong corporation that
provided LMOD with raw material and finished goods from Asia. Neither of these
transactions had a material impact upon the financial statements.

     In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, the Company
cannot hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer
except for "Taxable Real Estate Investment Trust Subsidiaries" ("TRSs"). LMOD
and LPI became TRSs as of January 1, 2001, which allowed the Company on June 25,
2001, to exchange its non-voting stock in LMOD for voting stock.

     On September 3, 1997, the Company capitalized InvestorsBancorp, Inc., a
bank holding company, for approximately $6.2 million and then distributed all of
the outstanding shares of InvestorsBancorp, Inc. to the Company's shareholders.
The Company and InvestorsBancorp, Inc., together with its wholly-owned
subsidiary, InvestorsBank (the "Bank"), share common offices and personnel.
Expenses are shared between the two entities in accordance with a Management
Services and Allocation of Expenses Agreement (the "Management Agreement"). See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation - Liquidity and Capital Resources".


                           Financial Services Business

     Loans

     The Company, through its Financial Services Business, owns and leases
industrial and commercial real estate to small businesses and makes loans to
small business entities collateralized primarily by first or second real estate
mortgages.

     Until the distribution of the shares of InvestorsBancorp, Inc. in
September, 1997, the Company had engaged in the business of originating loans to
small businesses. Concurrent with such distribution, the Company and the Bank
agreed in the Management Agreement that the Company would not originate any
loans unless agreed to by the Bank in writing, unless the loans are made to
current Company customers or unless the loans are outside the Bank's lending
limitations. Thus, except for the making of loans to Company customers who
desire to increase their loan amounts with the Company and for loans outside the
Bank's lending limitations, the Company does not solicit any loans.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     The Company's loan and leased property portfolio is managed by the Bank for
an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 25 basis points of the total dollar
amount of loans under management and 6% of the rents from leased properties.
Operating expenses are also shared by the Bank and the Company, as well as
certain expenses of employees providing accounting, reporting and related
services to the Company.

     The Company's loan portfolio is primarily comprised of long-term, variable
rate, collateralized loans to small business entities. The loans are primarily
collateralized by first mortgages on real estate, although some loans are
collateralized by second mortgages. Approximately 90% of the Company's loans by
dollar volume are loans to borrowers located in the State of Wisconsin.
Substantially all of the Company's loan portfolio is held by BMSBLC.

     The Company's borrowers include manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers,
professionals and service providers. The Company funds its lending operations
through its equity capital, bank and institutional borrowings, commercial paper
sales and the sale of loan participations.

     The Company's exposure to loss in the event of nonperformance by the
borrower is represented by the outstanding principal amount of loans of $73.60
million and accrued interest of $0.27 million at December 31, 2002.
Substantially all loans are fully collateralized by first or second mortgages on
commercial real estate. Diversification across industries is a means of managing
market risk by decreasing loan concentrations. The following table provides
information regarding the outstanding principal amount of loans by industry at
December 31, 2002.

     A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and
events, management does not expect to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement in the normal course of business. A loan
is also impaired when the loan contract is restructured by extending the due
date of either principal or interest payments or by reducing the interest rate
on the loan. A loan is not impaired during a period of delay in payment if
management expects to collect all amounts due including accrued interest at the
contractual interest rate for the period of the delay. When the projected cash
flow of the business from all sources including capital contributions,
conversion of assets to cash, and net income plus depreciation are inadequate to
make contractual payments as scheduled, then the loan is considered impaired.
Impaired loans totaled $2.01 million and $0.52 million at December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively. One loan which is secured by real estate accounted for $1.75
million of the total at December 31, 2002. Gross income of $0.07 million would
have been recorded during 2002 had the impaired loans been current in accordance
with their original terms.

     Real Estate

     At December 31, 2002 the Company owned 23 buildings and had entered into
long-term lease agreements on 22 of the properties and had one vacant property.
During the year the Company sold two properties. The Company anticipates that it
will continue to construct or purchase additional industrial or commercial
properties to lease. The total cost of the Company's properties (not including
construction in progress and the cost of the related land) at December 31, 2002,
was $33.51 million and the depreciated book value was $31.59 million. Two of the
leased properties were on nonaccrual status during 2002. Rental income of $0.26
million would have been recorded during 2002 had the tenants been current in
accordance with their leases.

     The Company anticipates that its rental properties will either be
industrial real estate (i.e. used for manufacturing purposes), or commercial
real estate properties, such as office buildings and retail stores and that
substantially all of its properties will be located in Wisconsin. The following
table sets forth additional information regarding the Company's leased
properties, all of which are located in Wisconsin.

     Competition

     The Company, in managing its loan portfolio, competes primarily with
commercial banks and commercial finance companies, many of which have
substantially more assets and capital than the Company. Banks, in particular,
have been active in seeking to refinance outstanding loans. The Company
believes, however, that it is able to compete effectively to maintain its loan
portfolio because of its smaller size and more flexible structure.

                                       6

     In owning and leasing real estate, the Company competes primarily with
other REITs and other investors such as insurance companies, a variety of
investment companies and individual investors, all of whom seek to own and lease
real estate. In addition, the Company competes with banks and other financial
institutions, which seek to lend money to potential tenants of the Company in
order to allow the potential tenants to construct and own their own building
rather than to lease a building owned by the Company.

     Employees

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company employed only its President and Vice
President. All other duties are performed by Bank employees pursuant to the
Management Agreement.

     Credit Concentration

     As of December 31, 2002, the Company had seven loans with outstanding
balances totaling $11.61 million to one customer and its affiliated companies.
Of that amount $4.51 million was participated to a third party without recourse.


                           Consumer Products Business

     Lee Middleton Original Dolls, Inc.

     Lee Middleton Original Dolls, Inc. ("LMOD"), headquartered in Westerville,
Ohio with its manufacturing facility located in Belpre, Ohio, is a 99% owned
subsidiary of the Company, with the President of the Company owning the
remaining 1%. LMOD is a manufacturer of artist designed vinyl collectible dolls
and a distributor of vinyl play dolls. LMOD uses a multi-step process to
manufacture its vinyl dolls that includes (1) rotational molding to create body
parts for dolls, (2) painting, eyeing and wigging each doll, and (3) dressing
the dolls in custom designed clothes.

     LMOD distributes its collectible doll lines through a network of
independent, specialty retail stores throughout the United States. Distribution
is also slowly expanding into Canada, Japan, Mexico and Europe. Competition is
with various other doll manufacturers including Zapf, Adora, Madam Alexander,
Ashton Drake, Mattel's American Girl and a variety of small artist-owned
manufacturers. LMOD has two outlet stores and a newly opened mall based retail
location showcasing the Newborn Nursery concept that was developed at the
factory outlet retail store. Future growth plans include expanding into the
lower priced, higher volume mass retail channels with newly designed products
while maintaining the quality of the collectible doll line.

     At the close of 2001 LMOD ceased sourcing its imported components and play
doll products through its MHK subsidiary in favor of three new Chinese suppliers
of outfits and accessories. The final product assembly is done at the Belpre,
Ohio, factory. This arrangement has allowed LMOD to develop a line of less
expensive dolls for wider retail distribution.

     License Products, Inc.

     License Products, Inc. ("LPI") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LMOD. Prior
to January 1, 2002, LMOD owned 51% of LPI. On January 1, 2002, LMOD acquired the
remaining 49% of the common stock of LPI. LPI, located in Hartland, Wisconsin,
designs, develops and markets a line of quality, proprietary time pieces. The
company's products are distributed nationwide through major retail account
channels.

     Employees

     The Consumer Products Business segment employs approximately 100 persons.
At LMOD, approximately 50 employees are subject to a collective bargaining
agreement which expires on April 30, 2004.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations

General

     Amounts presented as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 include the
consolidation of two segments. The financial services segment includes The
Middleton Doll Company (the "Company") and Bando McGlocklin Small Business
Lending Corporation ("BMSBLC"), a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. The
consumer products segment includes Lee Middleton Original Dolls, Inc. ("LMOD"),
a 99% owned subsidiary of the Company, Middleton (HK) Limited ("MHK"), a 51%
owned subsidiary of LMOD and License Products, Inc. ("LPI"), a 100% owned
subsidiary of LMOD.

Results of Operations

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001

     The Company's total net income available for common shareholders for the
year ended December 31, 2002 equaled $3.20 million or $0.86 per share (diluted)
as compared to $1.64 million or $0.44 per share (diluted) for the year ended
December 31, 2001, a 95% increase. The improved earnings were due to the
consumer products segment recognizing a net operating loss carryforward from LPI
which resulted in an income tax benefit of $0.83 million and the financial
services segment selling two leased properties resulting in income net of
related taxes of $0.78 million and terminating two interest rate swap agreements
resulting in income of $0.75 million.

Consumer Products

     Net income (loss) for the consumer products segment before intercompany
charges and after income taxes and minority interest for the year ended December
31, 2002 was $0.41 million compared to ($0.07) million for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

     Net sales from consumer products for the year ended December 31, 2002
decreased 14% to $23.46 million from $27.23 million for the year ended December
31, 2001. This was due to decreased sales of $5.93 million at LMOD offset by
increased sales of $2.16 million at LPI. The decrease in sales at LMOD was
primarily due to a $6 million decrease in the artist studio collection sales
resulting from the soft economy and an increase in competition in the
collectible doll market. Sales decreased due to a net loss of over 130 dealers
and the remaining dealers have been ordering conservatively, approximately 20%
below the previous year's levels. If the difficult economic conditions in the
marketplace continue to result in sales decreases, then personnel reductions
and/or periodic plant shut-downs in 2003 might be required in order to further
reduce costs. Cost of sales decreased 7% to $13.91 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002 compared to $14.97 million for the year ended December 31,
2001. LMOD's cost of sales decreased to $9.84 million from $12.07 million, an
18% decrease. LPI's cost of sales increased to $4.07 million from $2.90 million,
a 40% increase. Total gross profit margin decreased to 41% from 45% in the prior
year. LMOD's gross profit margin decreased to 42% from 48% while LPI's increased
to 36% from 31% during 2002. The decrease in the gross profit margin at LMOD was
primarily due to the liquidation of $1.0 million of slow moving inventory,
including the remaining 2001 artist studio collection dolls. Obsolete inventory
from the Small Wonder play doll line and the nursery bear line was also
liquidated. The increase in the gross profit margin at LPI was due to a change
in suppliers which decreased product costs and a decrease in sales to a less
profitable customer, which improved the product mix.

     Total operating expenses of consumer products for the year ended December
31, 2002 were $9.76 million compared to $11.98 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001, a 19% decrease. Total operating expenses as a percent of net
sales was 42% in 2002 compared to 44% in 2001. Sales and marketing expense
decreased 21% to $4.98 million, with LMOD's expense decreasing $1.48 million and
LPI's increasing $0.14 million. The increase at LPI was due to an increase in
customer store allowances and promotions for customers' new store openings.
Expense reduction at LMOD was accomplished by decreasing advertising, catalog
printing, and packaging costs. Due to the decrease in sales, cost reductions in
commissions, freight and merchant fees contributed to the overall decrease in
sales and marketing expenses. Reduced participation in trade shows and the
associated reduction in travel expenses also contributed to the decrease. New
product development costs decreased $0.26 million at LMOD due to the
reclassification of quality administration costs. LPI's new product development

                                       11
<PAGE>

costs increased $0.14 million due to an increase in sample prototypes being
developed for customer approval. General and administrative expenses were $3.91
million for the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to $4.66 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001. General and administrative expenses at LMOD
decreased $1 million and LPI's increased $0.25 million. LPI's increase was due
to increased shipping costs associated with the increase in sales and higher
costs associated with improved data processing capabilities. Expense reduction
at LMOD was accomplished through personnel reduction and a decrease in royalty
payments due to the decrease in sales.

     Other income, net decreased $0.10 million when compared to the same period
a year ago due to a decrease in interest expense. The minority interest in
earnings of subsidiaries decreased the consolidated net income of consumer
products by $0.08 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $0.10 million
for the prior year. Consumer products' income tax expense, based on net income
before intercompany charges, was ($0.83) million for the year ended December 31,
2002 and $0.03 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. For the year ended
December 31, 2002, LMOD and LPI were allowed to file consolidated income tax
returns due to the change in stock ownership at LPI. The $0.83 million of income
tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2002, was primarily due to the
recognition of a net operating loss carryforward of $0.72 million from LPI.


Financial Services

     Net income from financial services for the year ended December 31, 2002 was
$3.89 million compared to $2.64 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a
47% increase. The increase resulted from the sale of two leased properties,
which resulted in income net of related taxes, of $0.78 million and from the
termination of two interest rate swap agreements totaling $0.75 million. In
January 2003, all remaining interest rate swap agreements were terminated
resulting in $0.48 million of income for 2003. The Company does not anticipate
any further income from the termination of interest rate swap contracts.

     The net interest margin for 2002 was 3.80% compared to 3.23% for 2001. Net
interest margin is determined by dividing the total of interest income on loans
and rental income less interest expenses by the total of average loans and
leased properties. The increase is the result of the Company's cost of funds
falling faster than the rates charged by the Company to borrowers and to tenants
of leased properties.

     Total revenues were $10.63 million for the year ended December 31, 2002
compared to $12.37 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a 14% decrease.
Interest on loans decreased 39% to $4.85 million for the year ended December 31,
2002 compared to $7.89 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The large
decrease in interest income from loans was primarily due to the 32% decrease in
the prime rate. The average prime rate was 4.68% for the year ended December 31,
2002 compared to 6.92% for the year ended December 31, 2001. Average loans under
management decreased $19.73 million from a year ago. The decrease was primarily
due to maturing loans and the inability to replace them with the Company's
current funding sources. The Company's ability to make additional loans and to
maintain its earnings depends on the ability of the Company to obtain additional
sources of funding. For further detail, see "Liquidity and Capital - Financial
Services" in the Management Discussion and Analysis on page 17 hereof.

     Rental income was $3.64 million for the year ended December 31, 2002
compared to $3.89 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, a 6% decrease.
The sale of two leased properties resulted in a reduction of $0.22 million in
rents and the transfer of $0.05 million to nonaccrual status further reduced
rental income. Leased properties, net of accumulated depreciation, decreased to
$32.37 million as of December 31, 2002, compared to $34.88 million as of
December 31, 2001. One new property is under construction and improvements to
existing properties totaled $1.64 million during 2002.

     Other income for the year ended December 31, 2002, included a gain of $1.19
million from the sale of leased properties, $0.75 million from the termination
of two interest rate swap agreements, $0.13 million in loan prepayment penalties
and $0.08 million of miscellaneous income. For the year ended December 31, 2001,
other income included a gain of $0.15 million from the sale of leased property,
$0.25 million from the termination of two interest rate swap agreements, $0.08
million of fees from letters of credit and $0.11 million of miscellaneous
income.

     Interest expense decreased 47% to $3.70 million from $7.03 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2001
primarily due to lower rates for the Company's cost of funds and a decrease in
the outstanding average debt balance. The Company's debt cost is based primarily
on variable interest rates which were significantly lower due to the decrease in
interest rates set by the Federal Reserve. The average prime rate decreased 224
basis points during 2002. The average debt balance also decreased $22.82 million
during 2002 as a result of the decrease in loans as explained above. As a result
of interest rate swaps, the Company recognized a reduction in interest expense
of $0.54 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, and $0.69 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001.

     Depreciation expense decreased $0.04 million for the year ended December
31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001, due to the decrease in
leased properties. Management fees did not change significantly between the
years. Other operating expenses increased to $0.82 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002 compared to $0.78 million for the year ended December 31,
2001. Legal expenses of $0.03 million were incurred to obtain a loan recovery of
$0.47 million, additional debt issue costs of $0.02 million were expensed due to
the prepayment of a real estate loan, and leased property expenses increased
$0.03 million due to insurance and real estate tax expenses incurred with regard
to two leased properties.

     The Company and its qualified REIT subsidiary, BMSBLC, qualify as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, they are
not subject to income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders.
During 2002 and 2001, the Company took advantage of a provision in the tax law
that allows a REIT to retain any capital gains on the sale of real estate
properties by paying income tax on the gains. The Company retained $1.19 million
in capital gains and paid $0.41 million in taxes as of December 31, 2002, and
retained $0.15 million in capital gains and paid $0.06 million in taxes as of
December 31, 2001. Tax basis income for financial services (before the preferred
stock dividend) was approximately $4.98 million or $1.33 per share (diluted) for
the year ended December 31, 2002. Book income for financial services (before the
preferred stock dividend) was $3.89 million or $1.04 per share (diluted) due to
the elimination of intercompany revenue and expenses from the consumer products
segment and normal book/tax adjustments. For the year ended December 31, 2001,
tax basis income for financial services (before the preferred stock dividend)
was approximately $3.99 million or $1.07 per share (diluted) and book income
(before the preferred stock dividend) was $2.64 million or $0.71 per share
(diluted) due to the elimination of intercompany revenue and expenses from the
consumer products segment and normal book/tax adjustments.


For the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000

     The Company's total net income available for common shareholders for the
year ended December 31, 2001 equaled $1.64 million or $0.44 per share (diluted)
as compared to $4.26 million or $1.11 per share (diluted) for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a 62% decrease.

Consumer Products

     Net income(loss) from consumer products after income taxes and minority
interest for the year ended December 31, 2001 was ($0.07) million compared to
$3.32 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a 102% decrease.

     Net sales from consumer products for the year ended December 31, 2001
decreased 6% to $27.23 million compared to $29.07 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000. This was due to decreased sales of $2.45 million at LMOD
offset by increased sales of $0.61 million at LPI. The decrease in sales at LMOD
was primarily due to a $2.22 million decrease in the play doll lines. The artist
studio collection dolls sold to dealers decreased by $0.05 million and the
remaining decrease in sales was in LMOD's two retail stores. The events of
September 11th slowed sales significantly during the final quarter of 2001 which
would normally be the busiest time of the year for LMOD. Cost of sales increased
1% to $14.97 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $14.88
million for the year ended December 31, 2000. LMOD's cost of sales decreased to
$12.06 million from $12.33 million, a 2% decrease. LPI's cost of sales increased
to $2.90 million from $2.55 million, a 14% increase. Total gross profit margin
decreased to 45% from 49% in the prior year. LMOD's gross profit margin
decreased to 48% from 52% while LPI's increased to 31% from 30% during 2000.
LMOD's profit margin

                                       13
<PAGE>

decreased as a result of a change in the product mix to higher cost products, an
inventory write down of $0.40 million due to inventory obsolescence, and the
absorption of fixed factory overhead costs during a three week plant shutdown to
reduce inventory levels. The increase in the gross profit margin at LPI was due
to a shift in the product mix and better product sourcing.

     Total operating expenses of consumer products for the year ended December
31, 2001 were $11.98 million compared to $9.37 million for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a 28% increase. Total operating expenses as a percent of net
sales was 44% in 2001 compared to 32% in 2000. Sales and marketing expense
increased 33% to $6.32 million with LMOD's expense increasing $1.48 million and
LPI's increasing $0.08 million. New marketing and royalty expenses related to
LMOD's Alzheimer's and Newborns in Need charitable programs accounted for $0.10
million of the increase. New print advertising and sweepstakes programs
accounted for an additional $0.20 million and one-time set up costs for newborn
nurseries in dealers and the development of new packaging for the play doll line
increased marketing expenses by $0.18 million. Additional sales staffing
accounted for $0.30 million and write-offs for dealers and high volume retailers
who had gone out of business incurred an additional $0.30 million in costs.
Various special promotions accounted for the balance of the increase in costs.
Product development costs increased $0.25 million at LMOD due to the termination
of two of its artist contracts for $0.10 million and due to added staffing costs
of $0.15 million. New product development costs increased $0.04 million at LPI.
General and administrative expenses were $4.66 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001 compared to $3.92 million for the year ended December 31,
2000. General and administrative expenses of LMOD increased $0.70 million and
LPI's increased $0.04 million. The increase at LMOD was primarily due to costs
incurred by the relocation of LMOD's administrative offices to Westerville,
Ohio. The new office lease accounted for $0.25 million of the increase and a new
management accounting software package with training and consulting costs was
$0.12 million. Higher labor costs, additional personnel, computer expenses and
office and warehouse rental space also contributed to the increase. Warehouse
expenses, including higher labor costs, increased $0.27 million from the prior
year.

     Other income, net decreased $0.30 million when compared to the same period
a year ago due to a decrease in other income and an increase in interest
expense. The minority interest in earnings of subsidiaries decreased the
consolidated net income of consumer products by $0.10 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001 and $0.11 million for the prior year. Consumer products'
income tax expense, based on net income before intercompany charges, was $0.03
million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and $1.47 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000. This income tax expense was attributable only to LMOD
since LPI has a net operating loss carryforward to offset any current net
income. Since the Company and LMOD were not allowed to file consolidated income
tax returns, an additional $1.24 million in intercompany expenses was deductible
on LMOD's tax return. This additional deduction results in an income tax benefit
of $0.51 million and $0.53 million for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively.


Financial Services

     Net income from financial services for the year ended December 31, 2001 was
$2.64 million compared to $1.82 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a
45% increase. The increase resulted primarily from improved net interest margins
as the Company's cost of funds decreased more rapidly than revenues decreased.
The net interest margin was 3.23% for 2001 compared to 2.70% for 2000. Net
interest margin is determined by interest on loans and rental income less
interest expense divided by average loans and leased properties.

     Total revenues were $12.37 million for the year ended December 31, 2001
compared to $14.16 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a 13% decrease.
Interest on loans decreased 22% to $7.89 million for the year ended December 31,
2001 compared to $10.18 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The large
decrease in interest income from loans was primarily due to the 25% decrease in
the prime rate. The average prime rate was 6.92% for the year ended December 31,
2001 compared to 9.24% for the year ended December 31, 2000 and average loans
under management decreased $6.75 million from a year ago.

     Rental income was $3.89 million for the year ended December 31, 2001
compared to $3.76 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a 3% increase.
At December 31, 2001 the Company had $34.88 million in leased properties, net of
accumulated depreciation, compared to $35.42 million at December 31, 2000.

                                       14

One property and a piece of vacant land were sold during 2001 resulting in a
total gain of $0.15 million and two properties were acquired through foreclosure
proceedings.

     Other income increased $0.01 million to $0.19 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001 from $0.18 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 due to
an increase in letter of credit fees. Other income also includes a $0.25 million
gain from the termination of two interest rate swaps during the year ended
December 31, 2001 (See Note 14).

     Interest expense decreased 29% to $7.03 million from $9.93 million for the
year ended December 31, 2001 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2000
primarily due to lower rates for the Company's cost of funds. The Company's debt
has primarily variable rates which were significantly lowered as the Federal
Reserve cut interest rates during 2001. The average debt balance for the year
ended in 2001 decreased 2%, or $3.07 million, when compared to the prior year.
As a result of interest rate swaps, the Company recognized a reduction in
interest expense of $0.69 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, and an
increase in interest expense of $0.05 million for the year ended December 31,
2000.

     Depreciation on leased properties increased $0.06 million and management
fee expense decreased $0.02 million. Other operating expenses increased to $0.78
million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to $0.60 million for the
year ended December 31, 2000. This increase was due to additional expenses for
certain leased properties.

     The Company and its qualified REIT subsidiary, BMSBLC, qualify as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, they are
not subject to income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders.
During 2001, the Company took advantage of a provision in the tax law that
allows a REIT to retain any capital gains on the sale of real estate properties
by paying income tax on the gains. The Company retained $0.15 million in capital
gains and paid $0.06 million in taxes as of December 31, 2001. Tax basis income
for financial services (before the preferred stock dividend) was approximately
$3.99 million or $1.07 per share (diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Book income for financial services (before the preferred stock dividend) was
$2.64 million or $0.71 per share (diluted) due to the elimination of
intercompany revenue and expenses from the consumer products segment and normal
book/tax adjustments. For the year ended December 31, 2000, tax basis income for
financial services (before the preferred stock dividend) was approximately $3.58
million or $0.93 per share (diluted) and book income (before the preferred stock
dividend) was $1.82 million or $0.47 per share (diluted) due to the elimination
of intercompany revenue and expenses from the consumer products segment and
normal book/tax adjustments.


Liquidity and Capital

Consumer Products

     Total assets of consumer products were $17.07 million as of December 31,
2002 and $19.17 million as of December 31, 2001, an 11% decrease.

     Cash decreased to $0.50 million at December 31, 2002 from $0.68 million at
December 31, 2001.

     Accounts receivable, net of the allowance, decreased to $3.23 million at
December 31, 2002 from $3.95 million at December 31, 2001. LPI's receivables
increased $0.48 million and LMOD's receivables decreased $1.20 million as a
result of their respective fourth quarter sales.

     Inventory, net of the allowance for obsolete inventory, was $6.35 million
at December 31, 2002 compared to $6.77 million at December 31, 2001. LMOD's
inventory decreased $1.07 million and LPI's inventory increased $0.65 million.

     Fixed assets increased by $0.39 million which included $0.28 million of
machinery and equipment additions. Accumulated depreciation increased by $0.55
million, resulting in a net decrease to fixed assets of $0.16 million between
December 31, 2002 and 2001.

                                       15

     Prepaid corporate taxes decreased $0.12 million from the prior year due to
the refund of 2001 estimated income tax payments. Deferred income taxes
increased by $0.60 million between December 31, 2002 and 2001 due to the
recognition of income tax loss carryforwards from LPI. LMOD received payment of
a remaining loan balance of $0.62 million from an independent third party during
2002. Other prepaid expenses did not change significantly between the years.

     A licensing agreement with the Family Trust of the founder of LMOD, Lee
Middleton, allows LMOD to manufacture and sell certain dolls designed by Lee
Middleton. The $2.5 million agreement gives LMOD the right to produce certain
dolls until April 28, 2003, and an additional twelve months to sell any
remaining inventory. The agreement is treated as an intangible asset with a
definite five year life. The remaining unamortized balance of the licensing
agreement was $0.17 million and $0.67 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Sales of Lee Middleton designed dolls have been decreasing during
the past few years and represented less than five percent of LMOD's sales during
2002. Artist Reva Schick now designs dolls for LMOD under a royalty agreement.

     Goodwill was recorded when the Company purchased the remaining interest in
the stock from the estate of Lee Middleton, the founder of LMOD, on April 30,
1998. The purchase price exceeded the book value by $0.62 million. As of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, the balance of the goodwill, net of previous
accumulated amortization, was $0.51 million. For the years ended December 31,
2002 and 2001, no impairment was recorded.

     LMOD decreased its short-term borrowings on a line of credit with the Bank
by $2.16 million during the year ended December 31, 2002. The remaining balance
on the line of credit of $1.24 million matured and was paid on February 28,
2003. The debt was replaced with intercompany loans which are collateralized by
LMOD's and LPI's accounts receivable and inventory.

     Accounts payable and other liabilities did not change significantly between
the years.


Financial Services

     Total assets of financial services were $108.47 million as of December 31,
2002 and $138.09 million as of December 31, 2001.

     Cash increased to $0.43 million at December 31, 2002 from $0.23 million at
December 31, 2001.

     Interest and rent receivable decreased to $0.52 million as of December 31,
2002 from $0.57 million at December 31, 2001. Interest receivable decreased
$0.16 million due to lower interest rates and due to lower outstanding loan
balances. Rents receivable increased $0.11 million primarily due to two tenants
becoming delinquent in their rent payments. The rent receivable is shown net of
an allowance for doubtful accounts of $150,000 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. At December 31, 2002, three borrowers were on nonaccrual resulting
in $0.07 million of gross interest income which would have been recorded had the
non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms. Two
tenants were also on nonaccrual resulting in $0.26 million of rental income
which would have been recorded had the tenants been current in accordance with
their leases.

     Fixed assets and other assets including prepaid amounts decreased by $0.47
million. Of that amount, prepaid expenses decreased $0.07 million, fixed assets
decreased $0.07 million due to depreciation and notes receivable relating to
leased properties decreased by $0.23 million.

     The Company's interest rate swaps are cash flow hedges and had a fair value
of $0.51 million as of December 31, 2002. The $1.19 million decrease in value
from December 31, 2001, was due to the termination of two swaps which resulted
in a gain of $0.75 million. The remaining $0.44 million decrease was offset by
$0.54 million of interest income earned from the interest rate swaps.

                                       16

     Total loans on the balance sheet decreased by $25.62 million or 26% to
$73.60 million at December 31, 2002, from $99.22 million at December 31, 2001,
with a corresponding decrease in liabilities. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
management did not provide an allowance for loan losses. Nonperforming and
impaired loans at December 31, 2002, totaled $2.09 million. BMSBLC had unfunded
commitments of $1.28 million as of December 31, 2002.

     The decrease in loans noted above was primarily due to loans maturing and
the Company's inability to replace them with current funding sources. The
Company's ability to make additional loans depends upon the ability of the
Company to obtain additional sources of acceptable funding. As loans mature, the
Company reduces its outstanding indebtedness by the amount of the maturing
loans. If the Company is not able to secure additional acceptable funding to
replace the debt which has been paid, the Company's loan portfolio will decline,
with a resulting decrease in net income. The Company is constantly seeking
additional acceptable sources of funding but, to date, has not been successful
in obtaining additional acceptable funding sources. If, however, the Company
were able to replace existing debt with the proceeds of other funding sources,
the Company would seek to use such proceeds to make new loans. However, the
Company's management agreement with InvestorsBank prevents it from making new
loans to other than existing customers without the prior consent of
InvestorsBank. Neither the ability of the Company to obtain new funding sources
nor the likelihood that the Company could utilize such funding sources to make
new loans is certain or guaranteed. Additionally, the planned redemption of
$16.9 million of preferred stock in 2008 requires the Company to continue to
focus on asset quality while de-leveraging the balance sheet.

     Leased properties, net of accumulated depreciation, decreased to $32.37
million as of December 31, 2002, compared to $34.88 million as of December 31,
2001. One new property is under construction and improvements to existing
properties totaled $1.64 million during 2002. Two properties were sold during
2002 resulting in income net of related taxes of $0.78 million.

     The financial services' total consolidated indebtedness at December 31,
2002 decreased $29.10 million. As of December 31, 2002, financial services had
$35.60 million outstanding in long-term debt and $54.75 million outstanding in
short-term borrowings compared to $48.44 million outstanding in long-term debt
and $71.01 million outstanding in short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2001.
BMSBLC's short-term debt facility consists of commercial paper and drawn letters
of credit backed by a $60 million line of credit that matures on June 27, 2003.
If commercial paper would become unavailable, BMSBLC would have to draw upon its
back-up line of credit which would have higher interest rates and would result
in a reduction of net income. BMSBLC expects that its line of credit will be
renewed at its June 27, 2003 maturity. However, if the line of credit is not
renewed, BMSBLC would have to seek other financing sources. There is no
guarantee that any such alternative financing sources could be obtained.
Long-term debt of $2.67 million matures in 2006, $0.06 million in 2010, $7

Critical Accounting Policies

     In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following areas require
management to make estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the
near term.

Consumer Products

     Allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company provides an allowance for
doubtful accounts based on management's estimate of uncollectible amounts. The
estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the
current status of trade accounts receivable.
     Inventory valuation. Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

                                       17
<PAGE>

     Allowance for obsolete inventory. The Company provides an allowance for
obsolete inventory items based on management's estimate. The estimate is based
on items which are slow-moving or obsolete and for which management estimates
that full value cannot be realized.

     Amortization of goodwill. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001 (i.e., January 1, 2002 for calendar year
companies). This statement provides that goodwill and indefinite lived
intangible assets are no longer amortized against income but are reviewed at
least annually for impairment. An impairment review is designed to determine
whether the fair value, and the related recorded goodwill, of a reporting unit
is below its carrying value. In the year of adoption, any impairment loss will
be recorded as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
Thereafter, goodwill impairment losses will be charged to operations.
     Deferred tax assets. 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 different methods used for depreciation for income tax purposes,
vacation accruals, health insurance, deferred revenue, net operating losses,
capitalization requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, allowances for
doubtful accounts and obsolete inventory and charitable contribution
carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


Financial Services

     Accrual of interest income. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid
principal balance of loans. 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 payments of interest or principal when they
become due. Loans are returned to accrual status when the principal and interest
amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably
assured.
     Accrual of rental income. Rent is accrued on a monthly basis based on lease
agreements. If it is determined by management that the lessee will not be able
to make rent payments as required by the lease agreement, the accrual of rent is
discontinued until management determines the rent to be collectible.
     Allowance for loan losses. 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.
Management reviews the value of the collateral securing each loan to determine
if an allowance for loan losses is necessary.
     Leased properties. Leased properties are recorded at cost and are
depreciated using the straight-line method. The costs of normal repairs and
maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
     Nonperforming loans. A loan is impaired when, based on current information
and events, management does not expect to collect all amounts due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement in the normal course of business. A
loan is also impaired when the loan contract is restructured by extending the
due date of either principal or interest payments or by reducing the interest
rate on the loan. A loan is not impaired during a period of delay in payment if
management expects to collect all amounts due including accrued interest at the
contractual interest rate for the period of the delay. When the projected cash
flow of the business from all sources including capital contributions,
conversion of assets to cash, and net income plus depreciation are inadequate to
make contractual payments as scheduled, then the loan is considered impaired.
     Unfunded commitments. Unfunded commitments are recorded in the financial
statements when they are funded or when related fees are incurred or received.
     Derivative Instruments. The Company has adopted FAS 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" as amended by FAS 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement 133", and FAS 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities". These statements require
the Company to designate all derivative instruments as either fair value hedges
or cash flow hedges and to record the hedge on the balance sheet at its fair
market value. The net gain/loss on instruments classified as cash flow hedges
are reported as changes in other comprehensive income. The net gain/loss on
instruments classified as fair value hedges are reported as increases/decreases
in current year earnings. All derivatives are marked to market on the balance
sheet.
     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

                                       18
<PAGE>

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 (See Note 20).


Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

     This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company intends such forward-looking
statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions.
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe
future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally
identifiable by use of the words "may", "will", "could", "believe", "expect",
"intend", "anticipate", "estimate", "project", or similar expressions. The
Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or
strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse
effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and the
subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates,
general economic conditions, including the condition of the local real estate
market, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve
Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand
for loan products, competition, demand for financial services in the Company's
market area, demand for the Company's consumer products, payment when due of
principal and interest on loans made by the Company, payment of rent by lessees
on Company properties and the necessity to make additions to the Company's loan
loss reserve. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating
forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements.


Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company utilizes derivative instruments for purposes of asset liability
management which involves both credit and market risk. The Company has entered
into various interest rate swap agreements with other financial institutions to
manage interest rate exposure. The Company may be susceptible to risk with
respect to interest rate swap agreements to the extent of nonperformance by the
financial institutions participating in the interest rate swap agreements.
However, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these institutions.

     Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate
payments are exchanged over a specified period based on a notional amount. The
notional amount on which the interest payments are based is not exchanged.
Therefore, notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures as the
exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be
received and paid by the financial institutions participating in the interest
rate swap. Most interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed and floating
interest rates. By entering into an interest rate swap the Company can change
the interest payment stream and effectively change fixed rate debt into variable
rate debt.

     The Company's interest rate swap agreements are structured so that the
Company pays a variable interest rate and receives a fixed rate based on the
LIBOR index. In August of 2001, the Company entered into additional interest
rate swap agreements which then fixed the interest rate spread of the existing
rate swaps. These swap agreements allow the Company to pay a fixed rate and
receive a variable rate based on the LIBOR index.

                                       19

The following table summarizes the interest rate swap agreements in effect at
December 31, 2002:

     As a result of hedge arrangements, the Company recognized a $0.54 million
reduction in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 and a $0.69
million reduction in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2001. In,
addition, the Company recognized a gain of $0.75 million in 2002 and a gain of
$0.25 million in 2001 on the termination of interest rate swaps.

Board of Directors
The Middleton Doll Company and Subsidiaries
Waukesha, Wisconsin

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Middleton
Doll Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. We have also audited
the financial statement schedules listed in Item 8. These consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 financial position of The Middleton Doll
Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedules listed in Item 8, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

consists of two business segments, the financial services segment and the
consumer products segment.

The financial services segment consists of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary BMSBLC. Both the Company and BMSBLC operated as a real estate
investment trust (REIT) pursuant to the provisions of Section 856 of the
Internal Revenue Service Code of 1986, as amended. The principal business of the
segment is making loans and leasing buildings to small businesses. The segment
has participated in loans with third party loan originators.

The consumer products segment consists of a 99% interest in LMOD, including a
51% interest in LMOD's subsidiary, MHK, and a 100% interest in LPI. On January
1, 2002, LMOD acquired the remaining 49% interest in LPI. LMOD is a manufacturer
of collectible vinyl dolls and a distributor of vinyl play dolls. LPI designs,
develops and markets a line of quality, proprietary time pieces.

    Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination
of the allowances for loan and lease losses and doubtful accounts and the
valuation of inventories and deferred income tax assets.

    Segment Information

The Company is reporting segment assets, liabilities, sales and operating income
in the same format reviewed by the Company's management. As discussed in Nature
of Business above, the Company has two reportable segments: consumer products
(which includes LMOD, MHK and LPI) and financial services (which includes the
Company and BMSBLC). Segment information required to be disclosed is included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Intersegment charges are
reflected in the segment reconciliation on the consolidated statements of income
and on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

                   THE MIDDLETON DOLL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 2002 and 2001


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as
those financial assets with an original maturity of three months or less. The
Company may at times maintain balances at financial institutions that exceed
federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such
accounts.

    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 income is accrued
on the unpaid principal balance. 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. Loans are returned to accrual status when the principal and
interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are
reasonably assured.

    Allowance for Loan Losses

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that the lender will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include
payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payments when due. Impairment is measured on a loan by
loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the
loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan
is collateral dependent. Management reviews the value of the collateral on each
loan to determine if an allowance for loan losses is necessary. Management has
determined that no allowance for loan losses is necessary.

    Rent Receivable

Rent receivable is accrued on a monthly basis based on the lease agreement. If
at any point it is determined the lessee will not make rent payments as dictated
by the lease agreement, the accrual of rent is discontinued until management
determines the rent to be collectible. Rent receivable is presented net of an
allowance for lease losses of $150,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

    Accounts Receivable

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated
uncollectible amounts. The Company's estimate is based on historical collection
experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It
is reasonably possible that the Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful
accounts will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for
doubtful accounts of $332,386 and $326,389 at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

    Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements as a means of managing its
interest rate exposure. The differential to be paid or received on all interest
rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and is recognized over
the life of the agreements. The swap agreements are recorded at fair value on
the consolidated balance sheet with the net adjustment recorded as other
comprehensive income.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Inventory

Inventories of LMOD and LPI are valued at lower of cost or market using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

    Leased Properties

Leased properties are recorded at their cost value. Depreciation is calculated
using the straight-line method over 40 years for book purposes and 39 years for
tax purposes. The costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense
as incurred.

    Property and Equipment

Property and equipment primarily represent manufacturing property, plant and
equipment of LMOD and LPI. Property and equipment is stated at cost and
depreciated using straight-line methods for financial statement purposes and
accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Maintenance and repair costs are
charged to expense as incurred, and renewals and improvements that extend the
useful life of the assets are added to the property and equipment accounts.

    Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when products are shipped.

    Research and Development Costs

The cost of research, development and product improvement costs are charged to
expense as they are incurred. Research, development and product improvement
costs are reported as a separate component of operating expenses and total
$868,100, $991,648 and $702,005 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively.

    Stock-Based Compensation Plan

At December 31, 2002, the Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan
which is described more fully in Note 17. The Company accounts for this plan
under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all
options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to the approximate
market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following
table illustrates, in accordance with SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, the effect on net income and earnings
per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 2002 and 2001


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Income Taxes

The Company and its qualified REIT subsidiary, BMSBLC, qualify as real estate
investment trusts under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, they are not
subject to income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders.
During 2001 and 2002, the Company took advantage of a provision in the tax law
that allows a REIT to retain any capital gains on sale of real estate properties
and pay the corresponding tax on the gains.

In order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, the Company,
together with its qualified REIT subsidiary, BMSBLC, among other requirements,
must meet certain annual income and quarterly asset diversification tests
including not holding the securities of any one issuer valued at more than 5% of
total assets, and not holding more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities
of any one issuer, unless, in both cases, that issuer qualifies as a taxable
real estate investment trust subsidiary.

LMOD and LPI are taxed as C corporations and file a consolidated federal income
tax return and individual state income tax returns.

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 different
methods used for depreciation for income tax purposes, vacation accruals, heatlh
insurance, deferred revenue, net operating losses, capitalization requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code, allowances for doubtful accounts and obsolete
inventory and charitable contribution carryforwards. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.

    Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense
was $920,361, $1,408,734 and $1,173,154 for the years ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively

    Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business BMSBLC has entered into off-balance-sheet
financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Derivative Financial Instruments Designated As Hedges

The Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No.
133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activities". These statements require the Company to designate
all derivative instruments as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges and
to record the hedge on the balance sheet at its fair value. The net gain/loss on
instruments classified as cash flow hedges are reported as changes in other
comprehensive income. The net gain/loss on instruments classified as fair value
hedges are reported as increases/decreases in current year earnings.

As part of the Company's asset/liability management, the Company uses interest
rate swap agreements to hedge various exposures or to modify interest rate
characteristics of various balance sheet accounts. Derivatives that are used as
part of the asset/liability management process are linked to specific assets or
liabilities and have high correlation between the contract and the underlying
item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedge period. The
interest component associated with the contract is recognized over the life of
the contract as an adjustment to interest expense.

Contracts that do not meet the hedging criteria are classified as trading
activities and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in
earnings.

    Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year. In the computation of diluted earnings per
share, 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.

    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.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the
fair value of its financial instruments:

         Carrying Amounts Approximate Fair Values for the Following Instruments
                Cash and cash equivalents
                Accounts receivable
                Interest receivable
                Rent receivable
                Variable rate loans that reprice frequently where no
                 significant change in credit risk has occurred
                Short-term borrowings
                Accounts payable
                Variable rate long-term debt

         Quoted Market Prices
         Where available, or if not available, based on quoted market prices
          of comparable instruments for the following instruments:
                Interest rate swaps
                Redeemable preferred stock

         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 long-term debt

         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
             -----------------------------
                Letters of credit
                Lending commitments

Since the majority of the Company's off-balance-sheet instruments consist of
nonfee-producing, variable rate commitments, the Company had determined these do
not have a distinguishable fair value.

    Recent Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Pronouncements

SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The
statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation be recognized in the period it is incurred if a reasonable estimate
of fair value can be made. The associated retirement costs are capitalized as a
component of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and allocated to
expense over the useful life of the asset. The statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
Management does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. This statement supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed. SFAS
No. 144 provides one accounting model to be used for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale, whether previously held for use or newly acquired and
broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal
transactions. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
Company adopted this statement as of January 1, 2002 and the implementation of
this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.

SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, rescinds SFAS No. 4, Reporting
Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and amends SFAS No. 64,
Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. It also
rescinds SFAS No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. It
further amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency
between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required
accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are
similar to sale-leaseback transactions and amends other existing authoritative
pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or
describe their applicability under changed conditions. Most provisions of this
statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after May 15, 2002. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,
addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an
exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. The
provisions of this statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that
are initiated after December 31, 2002. Adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others. This Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be
made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its
obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that
a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee a
liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the
guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this
Interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002. The Company does not anticipate the
Interpretation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

                   THE MIDDLETON DOLL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 2002 and 2001


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities. This Interpretation addresses consolidation by
business enterprises of variable interest entities. Under current practice,
entities generally have been included in consolidated financial statements
because they are controlled through voting interests. This Interpretation
explains how to identify variable interest entities and how an entity assesses
its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate
that entity. FIN 46 requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities
to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not
effectively disperse risks among parties involved. The Company does not
anticipate FIN 46 will have a material impact to its consolidated financial
statements.

    Reclassification

Certain 2001 and 2000 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2002
presentation. The reclassifications have no effect on reported amounts of net
income or equity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2 - Related Entity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company shares common ownership and management with InvestorsBancorp, Inc.
(the Bank). The Company and the Bank have a Management Services and Allocation
of Expenses Agreement (the Agreement). The Agreement allows the employees of the
Bank to provide loan management, leasing and accounting services to the Company
for a fee, payable monthly. Management fee expense relating to the Agreement was
$985,720, $991,511 and $1,012,023 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively. Overhead expenses and rent are also shared between the
two entities in accordance with the Agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2000, InvestorsBancorp, Inc. borrowed
$2,500,000 from the Company. The loan was unsecured and matures April 30, 2010
with interest payable quarterly at Prime plus 2%. At December 31, 2001, the
outstanding principal balance on the note was $2,500,000. In 2002, the loan was
paid in full.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 3 - Concentration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The consumer products segment's customers are not concentrated in any specific
geographic region. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon the factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends and other information. The Company routinely assesses the
financial strength of its customers, and, as a consequence, believes that its
trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

The financial services segment grants loans and leases properties to small and
medium-sized businesses primarily in southeastern Wisconsin. As of December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively, the Company had loans outstanding to its largest
borrower totaling $11,609,853 and $12,412,449 which represented approximately
16% and 7 total loans outstanding at December 31, 2002.

Approximately 50% of LMOD's labor force is subject to a collective bargaining
agreement. The agreement's expiration date is April 30, 2004.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 4 - Loans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Approximately 85% of the Company's loan portfolio consists of variable-rate
loans with terms of five to fifteen years. Substantially all loans are
collateralized by first or second mortgages on commercial real estate.

Impaired loans were $2,006,016 and $520,135 at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The average recorded amount of impaired loans during 2002 and 2001
was $901,697 and $531,848, respectively. The interest accrued on the impaired
loans was $20,936 and $20,936 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. There
was no allowance for loan loss related to these loans at December 31, 2002 and
2001. At December 31, 2000, there was an allowance of $150,000 related to these
loans. Interest income on impaired loans of $34,405, $18,115 and $27,228 was
recognized for cash payments received in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Undisbursed loan commitments and lines of credit totaled $1,284,931 and $559,450
at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. There were no letters of credit
outstanding as of December 31, 2002.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 5 -  Allowance for Loan and Rent Losses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The allowance for loan and rent losses is established as losses are estimated to
have occurred through a provision for loan and rent losses charged to earnings.
Management reviews the entire loan and rent receivable portfolio when
determining the necessary allowance. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the
allowance was $150,000.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 6 -  Loans Sold
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company sells loans with the option to repurchase them at a later date.
During 2002 and 2001, the Company sold $2,818,488 and $913,607, respectively, of
loans to third parties with the option to repurchase them. These sales all have
been accounted for as secured financings. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the
balance of loan participations sold with repurchase options was $17,184,176 and
$28,123,907, respectively. Of this amount approximately $7 million and $15
million was sold to a single non-related party as of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. These loan participations mature as the corresponding notes mature
with the maturities ranging from one to six years. Under the terms of the
repurchase agreements, the Company retains servicing rights for the entire loan.
As servicer and provider of recourse, certain agreements require the Company to
comply with various covenants, including the maintenance of net worth. As of
December 31, 2002, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

For the loans sold with no recourse, the Company is susceptible to loss on the
loans up to the percentage of the retained interest to the extent the underlying
collateral is insufficient in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. The
Company's retained interest is subordinated to the portion sold. For the loans
sold with full recourse, the Company is susceptible to loss equal to the total
principal balance of the loan to the extent the underlying collateral is
insufficient in the event of nonperformance. No associated loss reserve has been
established as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, for loans which have been sold.

Depreciation expense on leased properties was $757,308, $775,122 and $712,481
for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The Company normally leases its properties pursuant to a lease agreement with
initial lease terms, primarily ranging from five to fifteen years. The leases
require the lessee to pay all operating expenses including utilities, insurance
and taxes. The lease agreements, all of which are operating leases, expire at
various dates through 2014 and provide the lessee with renewal and purchase
options. If it is determined that the lessee will not be able to make all
required lease payments, the lease is put on nonaccrual and no future amounts of
rents are accrued. At such time that the lessee becomes current on past lease
payments, the Company will resume the accrual of lease payments. Rent receivable
is shown net of an allowance of $150,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001.

NOTE 10 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The goodwill associated with the April 30, 1998 acquisition of the 49% interest
in LMOD amounted to $619,753. The amount, under previous accounting
requirements, was amortized over a period of twenty years. The unamortized
amount and current carrying value of goodwill is $506,145.

On January 1, 2002, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This
Statement provides that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no
longer amortized against income but are reviewed at least annually for
impairment. An impairment review is designed to determine whether the fair
value, and the related recorded goodwill, is below its carrying value.
Management has conducted the impairment review and determined that the carrying
value of goodwill has not been impaired. Accordingly, there were no charges to
operations for goodwill impairment. However, adoption of this Statement had the
following pro forma impacts to the consolidated financial statements:

NOTE 14 - Interest Rate Swaps
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company utilizes derivative instruments for purposes of asset liability
management. These derivative transactions involve both credit and market risk.
The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations and payments are based.
Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures as the exposure is
limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and
paid by the financial institutions participating in the interest rate swap. The
Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these institutions.

Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate flows are
exchanges over a prescribed period. Most interest rate swaps involve the
exchange of fixed and floating interest rates. An example of a situation in
which the Company would utilize an interest rate swap would be to convert its
fixed-rate debt to a variable rate. By entering into the swap, the principal
amount of the debt would remain unchanged but the interest payment streams would
change.

The Company's swap agreements are structured so that the Company pays a variable
interest rate and receives a fixed rate based on various rate indexes. The
Company has also entered into additional swap agreements to fix the interest
rate spread of the existing interest rate swaps and fixed-rate debt.

The following table summarizes the interest rate swap agreements, designated as
cash flow hedges, in effect at December 31, 2002.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company has two stock option plans, the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the 1997

terminated. In accordance with the Plans' provisions, the exercise prices for
stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the optioned stock
at the date of grant. The exercise price of all options granted was equal to the
market value of the stock on the date of the grant. Options may be exercised
based on the vesting schedule outlined in each agreement. All of the options,
except for the options granted under the 1997 Stock Option Plan, are "incentive
stock options" as defined under Section 422 of the Code. Options granted under
the 1997 Stock Option Plan are considered "non-qualified stock options" as
defined by the Internal Revenue Code. All options must be exercised within ten
years of the date of grant. There were no options granted in 2002, 2001 or 2000.

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for
its Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock
option awards.

SFAS No. 123 encourages a "fair value" based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's plan
been determined based upon the fair value at the grant dates as prescribed by
SFAS No. 123, the Company's proforma net income and earnings per share would be
the same as reported due to no options being granted in 2002, 2001 and 2000 and
all proforma compensation being recognized in the year of granting.


A reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of earnings per share
and earnings per share assuming dilution are:

The valuation allowance represents net operating loss carryforwards at License
Products. The remaining valuation allowance of $718,000 was released during
2002. Management believes it is more likely than not that the balance of the
deferred tax assets will be fully realized.

Financial Services:

The Company and its subsidiary, BMSBLC, qualify as a real estate investment
trust under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, they are not subject to
income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. During 2002
and 2001, the Company took advantage of a provision in the tax law that allows a
REIT to retain any capital gains on sale of real estate properties and pay the
corresponding tax on the gains. Gains on sale of leased properties totaled
$1,186,961 and $150,979 in 2002 and 2001, respectively, and the corresponding
tax paid by the company was $406,173 and $64,970, respectively. There was no tax
expense for year ending December 31, 2000.

</TABLE>

The estimated fair value of fee income on letters of credit at December 31, 2002
and 2001 is insignificant. Loan commitments on which the committed interest rate
is less than the current market rate are also insignificant at December 31, 2002
and 2001.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate
levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, fair
values of the Company's financial instruments will change when interest rate
levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the
Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to
the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers
with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate
environment and more likely to repay in a falling rate environment.

The Company has loan participations with repurchase options. The underlying
loans have various maturities and principal reductions which makes it
impracticable to measure the fair value.
