MAHASKA INVESTMENT COMPANY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 (Unaudited)

1.       Adjustments and Reclassifications                                      

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  (unaudited)  include the
accounts and transactions of the Company and its four wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Mahaska State Bank,  Central  Valley Bank,  Pella State Bank and On- Site Credit
Services,  Inc. All material  intercompany  balances and transactions  have been
eliminated in consolidation.                                                    

The  accompanying   consolidated  financial  statements  (unaudited)  have  been
prepared by the Company  pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial  statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  Although  management believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the  information  presented  not  misleading,  it is  suggested  that these
interim  consolidated  financial  statements  (unaudited) be read in conjunction
with the Company's  most recent audited  financial  statements and notes thereto
contained in the 1997 annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of  management,
the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  (unaudited)  contain all
adjustments  (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present
fairly the  financial  position as of  September  30,  1998,  and the results of
operations for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, and changes in cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997.  Results for the nine months may not be  indicative of the results for the
entire year.                                                                    

2.       Statements of Cash Flows                                               

In the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents  include cash and due
from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold.       

3.       Income Taxes                                                           

Federal   income  tax  expense  for  the  three   months  and  the  nine  months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 was computed using the consolidated  effective
federal tax rate. The Company also recognized  income tax expense  pertaining to
state franchise taxes payable individually by the subsidiary banks.             

4.       Earnings Per Common Share                                              

Basic earnings per common share  computations  are based on the weighted average
number of shares of common stock  actually  outstanding  during the period.  The
weighted  average number of shares for the  three-month  periods ended September
30,  1998 and  1997  was  3,654,768  and  3,620,953  (restated  to  reflect  the
five-for-three  stock  split  effected  in the  form of a stock  dividend  which
occurred in November  1997),  respectively.  For the  nine-month  periods  ended
September  30,  1998 and 1997,  the  weighted  average  number of common  shares
outstanding  was 3,669,414 and  3,661,591,  respectively.  Diluted  earnings per
share amounts are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of shares and all dilutive  potential shares  outstanding during the period. The
computation  of diluted  earnings  per share used a weighted  average  number of
shares  outstanding  of  3,832,830  and  3,833,380  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,  and 3,864,608 and 3,822,856 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.                    

5.       Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards                           

SFAS 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" became effective for the Company on
January 1, 1998, and  establishes the standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive   income  in  the  financial   statements.   Comprehensive  income
represents net earnings and certain amounts  reported  directly in shareholders'
equity,  such as net unrealized  gain or loss on available for sale  securities.
The  adoption  of SFAS  130 did not  have a  material  effect  on the  financial
position  and results of  operations,  nor did the adoption  require  additional
resources.                                                                      

Part I -- Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of                      
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.                                  

 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

Net income for the Company was  $977,000  for the quarter  ended  September  30,
1998,  compared with  $1,246,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997.
Basic  earnings  per share for the third  quarter of 1998 were $.27 versus basic
earnings of $.34 per share for the third quarter of 1997.  Diluted  earnings per
share for the third quarter of 1998 were $.26 versus diluted  earnings per share
of $.33 for the third  quarter of 1997.  All  historical  per share amounts have
been restated to reflect the five-for-three  stock split effected in the form of
a stock dividend which occurred in November 1997. Actual weighted average shares
outstanding were 3,654,768 and 3,620,953 for the third quarter of 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  The  Company's  return on average  assets for the  quarter  ended
September  30, 1998 was 1.39 percent  compared with a return of 1.94 percent for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The Company had a return on average equity
of 10.15  percent for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1998 versus 13.94
percent for the three months ended September 30, 1997.                          

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                                           

Net Interest Income                                                             

Net  interest  income may  fluctuate  as a result of  changes in the  volumes of
assets and liabilities as well as changes in interest  rates.  The Company's net
interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $3,556,000 compared
with  $3,720,000 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997. The decrease of
$164,000 was mainly due to lower interest income and discount  collected on loan
pool  participations  in the third quarter of 1998 compared with 1997.  Interest
and fee income on loans increased  $787,000 (25 percent) in the third quarter of
1998 due to higher loan volumes.  Total interest  income  increased  $126,000 (2
percent) in the third quarter of 1998 compared with 1997. Total interest expense
for the quarter increased $290,000 (12 percent) compared with the same period in
1997 due to the  additional  deposits  and borrowed  funds.  The  Company's  net
interest  margin (on a federal  tax-equivalent  basis) for the third  quarter of
1998 was 5.54 percent  compared  with 6.37 percent in the third quarter of 1997.
Net interest margin is net return on interest-earning  assets and is computed by
dividing annualized net interest income by the average of total interest-earning
assets for the period.  Most of the reduction in the net interest  margin in the
third  quarter of 1998 is  attributable  to the  decline  in loan pool  interest
income and discount recovery recorded in the third quarter of 1998 compared with
the income recognized in the 1997 period. The Company's overall yield on earning
assets was 9.58 percent for the third  quarter of 1998 compared to 10.32 percent
for  the  third  quarter  of  1997.  The  rate on  interest-bearing  liabilities
increased  in the  third  quarter  of 1998 to 4.76  percent  compared  with 4.66
percent for the third quarter of 1997.                                          

The increase in interest  income and fees on loans in the third  quarter of 1998
compared to the same period in 1997 was mainly the result of higher loan volumes
which produced greater revenues. The average yield on loans rose to 9.67 percent
for the third  quarter of 1998,  up from 9.37 percent for the three months ended
September  30, 1997 as the mix of the  Company's  loan  portfolio  shifted  into
higher-yielding  commercial  loans.  Average loans outstanding were $163,574,000
for the third quarter of 1998 compared with  $135,375,000  for the third quarter
of  1997,  an  increase  of  $28,199,000  (21  percent).  Each of the  Company's
subsidiaries  (except  for Pella  State Bank  which did not open until  December
1997)  experienced  an increase in average  loan volume in the third  quarter of
1998 compared with 1997. Average real estate loan volumes increased  $12,187,000
(21 percent),  commercial  loans averaged  $9,525,000 (28 percent)  higher,  and
agricultural  loans increased  $4,787,000 (18 percent) in average volume for the
third quarter of 1998 compared with the third quarter of 1997.                  

Interest income and discount  collected on the loan pools was $1,527,000 for the
third quarter of 1998 compared  with  $2,128,000  earned in the third quarter of
1997. The yield on loan pool investments was 12.51 percent for the third quarter
of 1998 compared  with 17.38  percent for the quarter ended  September 30, 1997.
The average loan pool  participation  investment  balance was $48,445,000 during
the third quarter of 1998 compared with an average balance of $48,589,000 in the
third  quarter of 1997.  These loan pool  investments  are pools of  performing,
nonperforming  and distressed loans that the Company has purchased at a discount
from the aggregate  outstanding principal amount of the underlying loans. Income
is  derived  from this  investment  in the form of  interest  collected  and the
repayment  of the  principal  in excess  of the  purchase  cost  which is herein
referred to as "discount" recovery. Interest income and discount recovery on the
loan pools is recognized on a "cash" basis by the Company.  Collection  expenses
incurred by the servicer to collect these loans are netted directly  against the
income received.  The reduction in loan pool income  recognized in 1998 compared
with 1997  followed  a decline in the  amount of cash  collections  in the third
quarter of 1998.  Since the Company  commenced  purchases of loan pools in 1988,
income recognition on the pools has been uneven.                                

The increase in interest  expense for the third  quarter of 1998  compared  with
1997 was mainly  attributable  to growth in deposits and an increase in borrowed
funds.  Interest expense on deposits increased $147,000 (7 percent) in the third
quarter  of 1998 as  average  interest-bearing  deposits  for  the  period  were
$11,328,000  (6 percent)  greater than in the same period in 1997.  Federal Home
Loan Bank advances during the third quarter of 1998 averaged  $4,263,000 greater
in the third quarter of 1998  compared with the third quarter of 1997  resulting
in an additional $71,000 in interest expense.  Interest expense on the Company's
commercial bank line of credit  borrowed funds  increased  $81,000 as the amount
borrowed  averaged  $4,853,000 higher in the third quarter of 1998 compared with
the third  quarter of 1997.  The Company  utilized  these  borrowings to provide
operating  funds to On-Site  Credit  Services,  Inc., to repurchase  stock to be
reissued as stock options are  exercised,  and to provide  capital to the newly-
chartered Pella State Bank.                                                     
Provision for Loan Losses                                                       

The  Company's  provision for loan loss expense of $307,000 in the third quarter
of 1998 was  $162,000  greater  than in the third  quarter  of 1997.  Management
determines an appropriate  provision  based on its evaluation of the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses in relationship to a continuing  review of problem
loans,  the current  economic  conditions,  actual loss  experience and industry
trends.  During  the third  quarter  of 1998,  management  deemed it  prudent to
increase the provision for loan losses due to growth in total loans, as a result
of difficulties in the agricultural economy, and due to higher loan charge-offs.

Other Income                                                                    

Other income results from the charges and fees collected by the Company from its
customers for various services  performed,  data processing income received from
nonaffiliated  banks,  miscellaneous other income and gains (or losses) from the
sale of investment  securities  held in the available for sale  category.  Total
other  income  increased  $47,000  (10  percent)  in the third  quarter  of 1998
compared  with 1997,  mainly due to the receipt of a  settlement  of an employee
misappropriation  of customer  funds which  occurred in 1995 and was expensed at
that  time.  Higher  service  charge  income  from  overdraft  fees at the  bank
subsidiaries also  contributed  to the  increase in other  income in the current
quarter.                                                                        

Other Expense                                                                   

Total  other  noninterest  expense  for the  quarter  ended  September  30, 1998
increased  $124,000 (6 percent)  compared to  noninterest  expense for the third
quarter of 1997.  Other expense  includes all the costs  incurred to operate the
Company except for interest  expense,  the loan loss provision and income taxes.
Salaries and benefits  expense for the third quarter of 1998 increased  $171,000
(17  percent)  over the  third  quarter  of 1997,  primarily  as a result of the
additional  employees  at the  newly-chartered  Pella State Bank and also due to
increased staffing at other  subsidiaries.  Net occupancy expenses for the third
quarter of 1998  increased  $43,000  (14  percent)  in  comparison  to the third
quarter of 1997 with most of the increase due to the  additional  facilities  of
Pella State Bank.  Professional  fees decreased $68,000 for the third quarter of
1998  over the  same  period  in 1997.  Other  miscellaneous  operating  expense
decreased by $17,000 (4 percent) in the third  quarter of 1998 compared with the
three months ended September 30, 1997. Goodwill  amortization  expense decreased
$5,000 (3 percent) in the third quarter of 1998 versus 1997 in  accordance  with
the effective yield method of amortization.                                     

Income Tax Expense                                                              

Income tax expense for the three months  ended  September  30,  1998,  decreased
$134,000  compared to the amount for the three months ended  September 30, 1997,
primarily  due to the  overall  decrease in taxable  income for the period.  The
effective  income  tax  rate in the  third  quarter  of 1998 was  35.64  percent
compared  with  35.14  percent  in the  third  quarter  of 1997.  The  Company's
effective  income tax rate varies from the  statutory  rate  principally  due to
interest income from tax-exempt  securities and loans.  Changes in the effective
rate for one period in comparison to another are primarily due to changes in the
amount of tax-exempt income.                                                    

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

The  Company's  net income for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 was
$3,781,000,  compared with  $3,851,000 for the first nine months of 1997.  Basic
earnings  per share for the nine month  period of 1998 were $1.03  versus  basic
earnings of $1.05 per share for 1997.  Diluted  earnings  per share for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1998 were $.98 versus diluted  earnings per share of
$1.01 in 1997.  All  historical  per share amounts have been restated to reflect
the  five-for-three  stock split  effected in the form of a stock dividend which
occurred in November  1997.  Actual  weighted  average shares  outstanding  were
3,669,414   and   3,661,591  for  the  first  nine  months  of  1998  and  1997,
respectively.  The  Company's  return on average  assets  for the  period  ended
September  30, 1998 was 1.83 percent  compared with a return of 2.04 percent for
the first nine months of 1997.  The  Company  had a return on average  equity of
13.32 percent for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 versus 14.67 percent
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.                                   

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                                           

Net Interest Income                                                             

The Company's net interest  income for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998
increased  $735,000 (7 percent) to  $11,782,000  from  $11,047,000  for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1997.  This was mainly due to  increased  interest
income earned on higher loan volumes.  The increase in total interest income was
offset,  in part, by additional  interest expense related to increased  deposits
and borrowed funds.  Total interest income  increased  $1,569,000 (9 percent) in
the  first  nine  months of 1998  compared  with the same  period  in 1997.  The
Company's  total interest  expense for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998
increased  $834,000  (12  percent)  compared  with the same period in 1997.  The
Company's net interest margin (on a federal  tax-equivalent  basis) for the nine
months  of 1998 was  6.25  percent  compared  with  6.44  percent  in 1997.  The
Company's  overall yield on earning assets was 10.29 percent in 1998 compared to
10.38 percent in 1997.  The rate on  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased in
1998 to 4.75 percent compared with 4.63 percent for 1997.                       

Interest income and fees on loans increased $2,120,000 (24 percent) in the first
nine  months of 1998  compared  to the same  period  in 1997 due to higher  loan
volumes.  Average loans  outstanding were $154,457,000 for the first nine months
of 1998 compared with $127,776,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
an increase of $26,681,000 (21 percent). The average yield on loans rose to 9.55
percent  for the nine months of 1998,  up from 9.33  percent for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.                                                       

Interest  income and discount  collected on the loan pools was $6,182,000 in the
nine months of 1998 compared with $6,545,000  earned in the first nine months of
1997.  The yield on loan pool  investments  was 16.98 percent in the 1998 period
compared  with 17.80 percent for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997.  The
average loan pool participation  investment balance for the first nine months of
1998 was $48,663,000 compared with $49,166,000 in the nine months of 1997.      

The increase in interest  expense for the nine months ended  September  30, 1998
compared with 1997 was mainly attributable to growth in deposits and an increase
in borrowed funds. Average  interest-bearing  deposits for the first nine months
of 1998 were  $10,363,000  (6 percent)  greater  than in the same period in 1997
resulting in an increase in interest  expense on deposits of $411,000.  Interest
expense on Federal  Home Loan Bank  advances  increased  by $200,000  during the
first nine months of 1998  compared  with 1997 as the  average  balance of these
advances  rose  $4,456,000  in  comparison  with the first nine  months of 1997.
Borrowings  on the  Company's  commercial  bank  line of credit  which  averaged
$4,060,000  higher in the first nine months of 1998  compared with 1997 produced
an increase of $243,000 in interest expense for the current period.             

Provision for Loan Losses                                                       

The  Company's  provision  for loan loss  expense of  $594,000 in the first nine
months of 1998 was  $282,000  greater  than in 1997.  Management  determines  an
appropriate  provision  based on its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses in  relationship  to a continuing  review of problem loans,  the
current  economic  conditions,  actual  loss  experience  and  industry  trends.
Management  deemed it prudent to  increase  the  provision  for loan losses as a
result of the growth of the Company's overall loan portfolio,  concerns with the
agricultural economy, and due to the increased loan charge-offs in 1998.        

Other Income                                                                    

Total  other  income  increased  $78,000 (6 percent) in the first nine months of
1998  compared  with  1997,  mainly due to higher  service  charge  income  from
overdraft fees at the bank  subsidiaries  and due to investment  security gains.
The additional  income was offset,  in part, by reduced data  processing  income
from nonaffiliated banks and lower miscellaneous income.                        

Other Expense                                                                   

Total other  noninterest  expense for the nine months ended  September 30,  1998
increased  $603,000 (10 percent)  compared to noninterest  expense for the first
nine months of 1997.  Salaries and benefits  expense in 1998 increased  $552,000
(18 percent) over 1997, primarily as a result of the additional employees at the
newly-chartered  Pella  State Bank and also due to  increased  staffing at other
subsidiaries.  Net  occupancy  expenses  for the nine  months of 1998  increased
$140,000 (16 percent) in comparison to 1997 with most of the increase due to the
additional facilities of Pella State Bank. Other miscellaneous operating expense
decreased  by $71,000 (5 percent) in 1998  compared  with the nine months  ended
September 30, 1997. Goodwill  amortization expense decreased $16,000 (3 percent)
in  1998  versus  1997  in  accordance   with  the  effective  yield  method  of
amortization.                                                                   

Income Tax Expense                                                              

Income tax expense for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  was unchanged
compared  to the  amount for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997.  The
effective  income  tax rate in the first nine  months of 1998 was 35.98  percent
compared  with 35.57  percent in the first nine  months of 1997.  The  Company's
effective  income tax rate varies from the  statutory  rate  principally  due to
interest income from tax-exempt  securities and loans.  Changes in the effective
rate for one period in comparison to another are primarily due to changes in the
amount of tax-exempt income.                                                    

FINANCIAL CONDITION                                                             

The  Company's  total  assets as of  September  30, 1998 were  $293,949,000,  an
increase of  $19,076,000  from December 31, 1997. As of September 30, 1998,  the
Company had federal  funds sold of  $1,955,000  compared  with  $6,815,000 as of
December  31, 1997.  Most of the decrease in federal  funds sold was utilized to
fund loan growth.                                                               

Investment Securities                                                           

Investment  securities available for sale increased $3,651,000 (16 percent) from
December 31, 1997 to the September 30, 1998 total of  $26,879,000 as a result of
the purchase of securities. Investment securities classified as held to maturity
totaled  $16,698,000  as of  September  30,  1998,  a decline of  $3,135,000  as
securities matured or were called during the nine-month period from December 31,
1997. These proceeds were reinvested into securities available for sale.        

Loans                                                                           

Overall loan volumes  continued to  increase,  with total loans  outstanding  of
$166,250,000  as of September  30, 1998  reflecting  growth of  $21,918,000  (15
percent) from  December 31,  1997.  Most of the growth from December 31, 1997 to
September 30, 1998 was spread between real estate,  commercial and  agricultural
loans.  Consumer loans outstanding as of the quarter-end declined  approximately
$334,000  from the December 31, 1997  balance.  As of  September  30, 1998,  the
Company's  loan to deposit ratio  (excluding  loan pool  investments)  was 75.38
percent.  This  compares  with a year-end  1997 loan to  deposit  ratio of 67.04
percent.                                                                        

As of  September  30, 1998,  the Company had  approximately  $31,987,000  (19.24
percent) of its loan portfolio in agricultural  loans. While this is an increase
of $5,488,000 in comparison with the December 31,  1997 agricultural loan total,
in most years the maximum level of operating loans occurs in the third and early
fourth quarters.  Concerns with the agricultural  economy have caused management
of the Company to require that subsidiary lending officers closely review all ag
lines and  identify  those  specific  credits  that would be more at risk in the
event of continued deterioration in the agricultural economy.  Contingency plans
are being  developed  for these  "weaker"  credits that would enable the lending
officers to work with these  borrowers  in an effort to prevent or minimize  any
potential loss to the Company.                                                  

Loan Pool Participations                                                        

As  of  September  30,  1998,   the  Company  had   investments   in  loan  pool
participations  of  $56,250,000,  an increase of $1,925,000 (4 percent) from the
prior year-end balance of $54,326,000. The loan pool investment balance shown as
an asset on the Company's Balance Sheet represents the discounted  purchase cost
of the loan pool participations.  The average loan pool participation investment
of  $48,663,000  for the first nine  months of 1998 was 1 percent  less than the
average balance of $49,166,000 for the first nine months of 1997.               

The Company actively continues to evaluate and bid on loan pool packages. During
the third quarter of 1998, the Company invested  $14,832,000 in loan pools which
were  acquired from the FDIC and from two private  sellers.  The pools that were
purchased  during  the  quarter  were  primarily  performing  credits  that were
acquired at a higher cost basis.  Although the higher cost basis of the acquired
pools may  result  in a decline  in the  future  overall  yield on the loan pool
investment,  management  felt that it was prudent to  purchase a  higher-quality
performing  loan  asset  in  view of the  uncertainty  of the  current  economic
environment and the lower risk associated with holding a performing credit.     

Loan pool  investments  by the Company are  participation  interests in pools of
loans owned by the  independent  servicer.  These loan pool  investments are not
securitized in any manner.  The servicer does not securitize these loan packages
or perform any collection  functions for other outside parties that are involved
in  securitization  activities.  The loans owned by the servicer  are  primarily
secured  by real  estate and do not  include  significant  amounts of  unsecured
consumer  debt  obligations.  These  assets  were  mainly  acquired  from  other
financial  institution  originators  and most were not  categorized  as subprime
credits at the time of origination.                                             

Deposits                                                                        

Total deposits grew  $5,249,000 (2 percent) during the first nine months of 1998
with the most growth  noted in higher rate  savings and  certificate  of deposit
accounts.  Demand deposit  accounts and NOW account deposits as of September 30,
1998  decreased  $4,281,000  from  December  31,  1997,  mostly due to  seasonal
fluctuation.                                                                    

Borrowed Funds/Notes Payable                                                    

The Company had Fed Funds  purchased of  $3,775,000  on September  30, 1998.  On
December 31, 1997 there were no Fed Funds  Purchased.  Fixed-rate  advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled  $12,299,000  on September  30, 1998 compared
with  $6,000,000  as of  December  31,  1997.  The  Company  has  increased  its
utilization of FHLB advances as a lower-cost,  longer-term  funding  strategy in
comparison  with customer  deposits.  Notes payable  increased to $16,750,000 on
September  30, 1998 from  $14,050,000  on December 31, 1997 with the  additional
funds  utilized to purchase loan pool  investments,  to  repurchase  outstanding
shares of Company  stock to be reissued as stock  options are  exercised  and to
fund the operating capital needed by the On-Site Credit Services subsidiary.    

Nonperforming Loans                                                             

The  Company's  nonperforming  loans totaled  $1,691,000  (1.02 percent of total
loans) as of September 30, 1998,  compared to $1,848,000  (1.28 percent of total
loans) as of December 31, 1997. All nonperforming loan totals and related ratios
exclude the loan pool  investments.  The following table presents the categories
of nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1998:                                

                                                                [Download Table]

                     (dollars in thousands)       
                       September 30, 1998         
                                                  
Nonaccrual                                  $1,147
Loans 90 days past due                         366
Renegotiated loans                             166
Other real estate owned                         12
                                            $1,691


From  December  31, 1997 to  September  30,  1998,  nonaccrual  loans  increased
$220,000,  loans ninety days past due  decreased  $155,000,  restructured  loans
decreased $222,000 and other real estate owned remained unchanged. The Company's
allowance  for loan losses as of September  30, 1998 was  $1,873,000,  which was
1.13 percent of total loans as of that date. This compares with an allowance for
loan losses of  $1,816,000  as of December 31,  1997,  which was 1.26 percent of
total loans.  As of September 30, 1998, the allowance for loan losses was 110.79
percent of  nonperforming  loans compared with 98.24 percent as of  December 31,
1997.  Management  believes that as of September 30, 1998 the allowance for loan
losses is adequate.  For the three months ended  September 30, 1998, the Company
recognized a net loan  charge-off of $170,000  compared with a net charge-off of
$25,000  during the quarter ended  September 30, 1997. For the first nine months
of 1998, the Company  experienced net charge-offs of loans totalling  $536,000, 
or .46 percent of average loans  outstanding for the period.  This compares with
net loan charge-offs of $63,000 during the first nine months of 1997.           

Capital Resources                                                               

As of September 30, 1998,  total  shareholders'  equity as a percentage of total
assets was 12.90  percent  compared  with 13.31 percent as of December 31, 1997.
Cash dividends paid to  shareholders  during the third quarter of 1998 were $.14
per share.                                                                      

The Company held 176,157  shares of treasury stock at a cost of $2,877,000 as of
September 30, 1998.  These shares were  repurchased to satisfy  options  granted
under the Company's Stock Incentive Plans.  During the third quarter of 1998 the
Company  reissued  8,248 shares of treasury  stock as options were  exercised by
employees,  officers and directors.  On January 22, 1998, the Board of Directors
voted to continue the  Company's  stock  repurchase  plan that  provides for the
repurchase  of up to 200,000  shares  through  January  31,  1999.  The  Company
repurchased  58,500  shares of its stock  during the third  quarter of 1998 at a
cost of $1,228,000 (average cost of $20.99 per share).                          

Under  risk-based  capital  rules,  the Company's tier 1 capital ratio was 13.95
percent of risk-weighted  assets as of September 30, 1998, and was 14.74 percent
of  risk-weighted  assets as of December  31,  1997,  compared to a 4.00 percent
requirement. Risk- based capital guidelines require the classification of assets
and some  off-balance  sheet  items in terms  of  credit-risk  exposure  and the
measuring of capital as a percentage of the risk-adjusted  asset totals.  Tier 1
capital is the Company's total common  shareholders'  equity reduced by goodwill
and including unrealized gains and losses on investment securities classified as
available for sale in accordance with FASB 115.                                 

The Company continues to pursue acquisition and expansion opportunities that fit
the  organization's  strategic business and financial plans. There are currently
no pending  acquisitions  that would require the Company to secure  capital from
public or private markets.                                                      

Liquidity                                                                       

Liquidity  management  involves meeting the cash flow requirements of depositors
and borrowers.  The Company  conducts  liquidity  management on both a daily and
long-term  basis;  and it adjusts  its  investments  in liquid  assets  based on
expected loan demand,  projected loan  maturities  and payments,  estimated cash
flows  from  the  loan  pool  participations,  expected  deposit  flows,  yields
available   on   interest-bearing   deposits,   and   the   objectives   of  its
asset/liability management program. The Company had liquid assets (cash and cash
equivalents) of $13,982,000 as of September 30, 1998,  compared with $19,195,000
as of December 31, 1997. Some of this decrease is attributable to the additional
funding of loans.  Investment  securities classified as available for sale could
be  sold  to  meet  liquidity  needs,  if  necessary.   Additionally,  the  bank
subsidiaries  maintain lines of credit with correspondent  banks and the Federal
Home Loan Bank that would  allow them to borrow  federal  funds on a  short-term
basis  if  necessary.  The  Company  also  maintains  a line  of  credit  with a
non-affiliated  commercial bank that provides liquidity for the purchase of loan
pool participation  investments and other corporate needs.  Management  believes
that the Company has  sufficient  liquidity as of September 30, 1998 to meet the
needs of borrowers and depositors.                                              

Market Risk Management                                                          

Market risk is the risk of earnings volatility that results from adverse changes
in interest  rates and market  prices.  The  Company's  market risk is primarily
comprised of interest  rate risk arising  from its core  banking  activities  of
lending  and  deposit  taking.  Interest  rate risk is the risk that  changes in
market  interest rates may adversely  affect the Company's net interest  income.
Management  continually  develops and applies  strategies to mitigate this risk.
Management does not believe that the Company's primary market risk exposures and
how those  exposures  were managed in the first nine months of 1998 changed when
compared to 1997.                                                               

The Company uses a third-party computer software simulation modelling program to
measure its exposure to potential  interest  rate changes.  For various  assumed
hypothetical  changes in market interest rates,  numerous other  assumptions are
made such as prepayment speeds on loans and securities backed by mortgages,  the
slope of the  Treasury  yield  curve,  the rates and  volumes  of the  Company's
deposits and the rates and the volumes of the  Company's  loans.  This  analysis
measures  the  estimated   change  in  net  interest  income  in  the  event  of
hypothetical  changes in interest rates. This analysis of the Company's interest
rate risk was presented in the Form 10-K filed by the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1997.                                                              

YEAR 2000 Compliance                                                            

A critical issue has emerged in the banking industry and for the economy overall
regarding how existing computer application software programs, operating systems
and hardware can accommodate that date value for the year 2000. This issue is an
area of major  emphasis as management is actively  working with its software and
hardware  vendors to assure that the  Company is  compliant.  Additionally,  the
Company is working with material non-information  system  providers,  including 
but not limited to security, telephone, utilities, ATM cards, elevators, heating
and  cooling  systems,  check  clearing  services,  teller  machines  and  proof
equipment  to  determine  their  year  2000  compliance.  An  assessment  of the
readiness of vendors,  significant  customers and other third parties with which
the Company does business is also underway.                                     

The Company could be faced with severe  consequences if Year 2000 issues are not
identified and resolved in a timely manner.  A worst-case  scenerio would result
in  the  short-term  inability  to  update  customer  financial  records  due to
unforeseen processing issues.  This would result in  customers  being unable to 
receive timely  information  regarding their account  balances.  In addition,  a
worst-case  scenerio  for the Company is that major  suppliers  of  electricity,
communication  links and outside data  processing  services may fail in spite of
their best efforts to remediate  their  systems and in spite of our best efforts
to test their systems.  The major risk as a result of these  possibilities would
be a loss of customer confidence.                                               

The  Company  has  established  Year 2000  Committees  and Plans at its bank and
thrift  subsidiaries,  and formal project plans have been developed and adopted.
Testing  and  contingency  plans  have also been  developed  and  adopted by the
Company's  subsidiaries.  Testing procedures are underway and are expected to be
completed  prior to December 31, 1998.  The Company  purchased a new main- frame
computer system that is year 2000 compliant in 1997 at a cost of $430,000.  This
computer  system became fully  operational in the first quarter of 1998 with the
equipment cost being depreciated over a five year period beginning in 1998.     

The  Company's  contingency  plans  include two  components  which are  business
remediation and business resumption. The business remediation plan was developed
to mitigate the risk associated with the failure to successfully complete system
renovation,  validation or  implementation of the Company's Year 2000 readiness.
This plan pertains to mission-critical  systems developed  in-house,  by outside
software vendors, and by third- party service providers. The business resumption
plan is designed  to be  implemented  in the event there are system  failures at
critical dates.                                                                 

The  Company  anticipates  that it will  incur  internal  staff  costs and other
expenses  related to the  enhancements  necessary to become Year 2000 compliant.
Based on the  Company's  current  knowledge,  the  expense  related to Year 2000
compliance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's  financial
position or results of  operations.  It is estimated  that the costs incurred by
the Company for Year 2000 compliance will be approximately $20,000, exclusive of
costs associated with the new main-frame computer.                              

Effect of New Accounting Standards                                              

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133,  Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, will be effective for the Company
beginning  January 1, 2000.  Management is evaluating the impact the adoption of
SFAS No. 133 will have on the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements and
expects to adopt SFAS 133 when required.

interests of the corporation.

as may be deemed  advisable  by the Board of  Directors  in the  exercise of its
discretion.                                                                     

ARTICLE XII.

     Any action  required or  permitted by Chapter 490 of the 1993 Code of Iowa,
as amended,  or by these Articles or the Bylaws of the corporation,  to be taken
at a shareholders meeting may be taken without a meeting or vote, and, except as
provided below, without prior notice, if one or more written consents describing
the action taken are signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less
than 51% of the  votes  entitled  to be cast at a meeting  at which  all  shares
entitled to vote on the action were present and voted, and such written consents
are delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the
corporate records; provided, however, that in the event any provision of Chapter
490 of the 1993 Code of Iowa,  as  amended,  requires  that  notice of  proposed
action be given to  shareholders  not  entitled  to vote and the action is to be
taken by consent  of the voting  shareholders,  the  corporation  shall give all
shareholders  written notice of the proposed action at least ten days before the
action is taken,  in the form and in the manner  required  by Chapter 490 of the
1993 Code of Iowa, as amended.  Any such written  consent shall bear the date of
signature of each shareholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall
be effective to take the  corporate  action  referred to in the consent  unless,
within 60 days of the earliest  dated consent  delivered in the manner  required
above to the  corporation,  written  consents  signed by a sufficient  number of
holders to take action are  delivered to the  corporation.  Prompt notice of the
taking of  corporate  action  without a meeting by less than  unanimous  written
consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing.

State of Iowa shall be located in the City of Oskaloosa,  Mahaska County,  Iowa.
The corporation may have such other offices,  either within or without the State

corporation may require from time to time.                                      

     Section 2.  Registered  Office.  The registered  office of the  corporation
required by the Iowa Business  Corporation  Act to be maintained in the State of
Iowa may be, but need not be,  identical with the principal  office in the State
of Iowa,  and the address of the  registered  office may be changed from time to
time by the board of directors.                                                 

 ARTICLE II. SHAREHOLDERS.

     Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the share holders shall be
held on any day in the month of April in each year, other than Sundays and legal
holidays,  commencing  at an hour  between  8:00 a.m.  and 5:00  p.m.  as may be
specified  from  year to year by the  board of  directors,  for the  purpose  of
electing  directors  and  transacting  such other  business as may properly come
before the meeting.  If the election of directors  shall not be held on the date
designated  for any  annual  meeting  of the  shareholders,  or any  adjournment
thereof, the board of directors shall cause the election to be held at a special
meeting of the  shareholders as soon  thereafter as conveniently  may be. If the
annual meeting is not held within any eighteen-month  period, the District Court
of the county wherein the registered  office of the  corporation is located may,
upon the written  application of any shareholder,  order an annual meeting to be
held.                                                                           

     Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders,  for any
purpose or purposes,  unless otherwise  prescribed by statute,  may be called by
the president or by the board of directors, and shall be called by the president
at the request of the holders of not less than  one-half of all the  outstanding
shares of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.                      

     Section 3. Place of Meetings.  The board of  directors  may  designate  any
place,  either  within or without the State of Iowa, as the place of meeting for
any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of directors. 

     Section 4. Notice of Meetings. Written or printed notice stating the place,
day and hour of the meeting  and, in case of a special  meeting,  the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called,  shall be delivered  not less than ten
nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by
mail, by or at the direction of the president,  the secretary, or the officer or
persons calling the meeting,  to each  shareholder of record entitled to vote at
such  meeting.  If mailed,  such  notice  shall be deemed to be  delivered  when
deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his address
as it appears  on the stock  transfer  books of the  corporation,  with  postage
thereon  prepaid.  Any  shareholder  may waive  notice of any regular or special
meeting of shareholders at any time.                                            

     Section  5.  Fixing  of  Record  Date.   For  the  purpose  of  determining
shareholders  entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or
any  adjournment  thereof,  or  shareholders  entitled to receive payment of any
dividend,  or in order to make a  determination  of  shareholders  for any other
proper  purpose,  the board of directors of the corporation may fix in advance a
date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, such date in
any  case to be not  more  than  seventy  days  and,  in case  of a  meeting  of
shareholders,  not less than ten days prior to the date on which the  particular
action,  requiring such  determination  of  shareholders,  is to be taken.  If a
record  date is not fixed for the  determination  of  shareholders  entitled  to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders,  or shareholders  entitled to
receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed
or the date on which the  resolution  of the board of directors  declaring  such
dividend  is  adopted,  as the case may be,  shall be the  record  date for such
determination of shareholders.  When a determination of shareholders entitled to
vote at any meeting of  shareholders  has been made as provided in this section,
such  determination  shall apply to any adjournment  thereof,  if the meeting is
adjourned  to a date  within  120 days  after the date  fixed  for the  original
meeting.                                                                        

     Section 6. Voting  Lists.  The officer or agent having  charge of the stock
transfer books for shares of the corporation shall make,  beginning two business
days after  notice of the meeting is given for which the list was  prepared  and
continuing through the meeting, a complete list of the shareholders  entitled to
vote at such  meeting,  or any  adjournment  thereof,  arranged in  alphabetical
order,  with the  address of and the number of shares  held by each,  which list
shall be kept on file at the registered  office of the  corporation and shall be
subject to  inspection  by any  shareholder  at any time during  usual  business
hours.  Such list shall also be produced  and kept open at the time and place of
the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the
whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie
evidence  as to who  are the  shareholders  entitled  to  examine  such  list or
transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.                       

     Section 7. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding  shares of the corporation
entitled to vote,  represented in person or by proxy,  shall constitute a quorum
at a meeting of shareholders,  and if a quorum is present,  the affirmative vote
of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on
the subject  matter shall be the act of the  shareholders,  unless the vote of a
greater number is required by law or the articles of incorporation. If less than
a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of
the shares so  represented  may adjourn the  meeting  from time to time  without
further notice.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or
represented,  any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the meeting as originally notified. The shareholders present at a duly organized
meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the
withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.                  

     Section 8. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote
by proxy  executed  in  writing  by the  shareholder  or by his duly  authorized
attorney  in  fact.  Such  proxy  shall  be  filed  with  the  secretary  of the
corporation before or at the time of the meeting.  No proxy shall be valid after
eleven months from the date of its execution,  unless otherwise  provided in the
proxy.                                                                          

     Section 9. Voting of Shares.  Each outstanding share entitled to vote shall
be  entitled to one vote upon each  matter  submitted  to a vote at a meeting of
shareholders.                                                                   

     Section 10.  Voting of Shares by Certain  Holders.  Shares  standing in the
name of another corporation may be voted by such officer,  agent or proxy as the
bylaws of such corporation may prescribe,  or, in the absence of such provision,
as the board of directors of such corporation may determine.                    

     Shares held by an administrator,  executor,  guardian or conservator may be
voted by him,  either in person or by proxy,  without a transfer  of such shares
into his name.  Shares  standing  in the name of a trustee  may be voted by him,
either in person or by proxy,  but no trustee  shall be  entitled to vote shares
held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name.                    

     Shares  standing in the name of a receiver  may be voted by such  receiver,
and  shares  held by or under the  control  of a  receiver  may be voted by such
receiver  without the  transfer  thereof  into his name if authority so to do be
contained  in an  appropriate  order of the  court by which  such  receiver  was
appointed.                                                                      

     A custodian  of  securities  under the Iowa  Uniform Gift to Minors Act may
vote a security which is custodial property.                                    

     Section 11.  Informal  Action by  Shareholders.  Any action  required to be
taken at a meeting of the  shareholders,  or any other action which may be taken
at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in
writing,  setting  forth  the  action  so  taken,  shall be signed by all of the
shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.       

     Section 12. Meetings of All Shareholders.  If all of the shareholders shall
meet at any time and  place,  either  within or without  the State of Iowa,  and
consent to the holding of a meeting at such time and place,  such meeting  shall
be valid without call or notice, and at such meeting any corporate action may be
taken.                                                                          

     Section 13. Method of Voting.  Voting by shareholders on any question or in
any election may be viva voce unless the  presiding  officer  shall order or any
shareholders shall demand that voting be by ballot.                             

ARTICLE III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

     Section 1. General  Powers.  The  business  and affairs of the  corporation
shall be managed by its board of directors. The board of directors may authorize
any officer or officers,  agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute
and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation,  and
such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.                

     Section 2. Number,  Tenure and  Qualifications.  The number of directors of
the corporation shall be not less than 5 and not greater than 15, and, effective
as of the annual meeting of  shareholders  of the corporation in 1996, the Board
of Directors shall be divided into three classes,  designated Class I, Class II,
and Class III. Such classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible.  The
term  of  directors  of one  class  shall  extend  to  each  annual  meeting  of
shareholders and in all cases as to each director,  until his successor shall be
elected  and shall  qualify,  or until his  earlier  resignation,  removal  from
office, death or incapacity. Additional directorships resulting from an increase
in number of  directors  shall be  apportioned  among the  classes as equally as
possible. The initial term of office of directors of Class I shall extend to the
annual  meeting of  shareholders  in 1997,  that of Class II shall extend to the
annual meeting in 1998, and that of Class III shall extend to the annual meeting
in 1999,  and in all  cases as to each  director  until his  successor  shall be
elected and shall qualify or until his earlier resignation, removal from office,
death or  incapacity.  At each  annual  meeting of  shareholders,  the number of
directors  equal to the number of  directors  of the class whose term extends to
the time of such  meeting  shall be  elected  to hold  office  until  the  third
succeeding  annual meeting of shareholders  after their  election.  The Board of
Directors  may,  upon a majority  vote of its members,  increase or decrease the
number of  directors  within the limits set forth above.  Directors  need not be
residents of the State of Iowa or, except as required by the Board of Directors,
shareholders of the corporation.                                                

     Section 3. Place and Notice of Meetings.  A regular meeting of the board of
directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw immediately  after,
and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the  shareholders.  The board of
directors  may provide,  by  resolution,  the time and place,  either  within or
without  the State of Iowa,  for the  holding  of  additional  regular  meetings
without  other  notice than such  resolution.  Special  meetings of the board of
directors  may be  called  by or at the  request  of the  president  or any  two
directors.  The person or persons  authorized  to call  special  meetings of the
board of  directors  may fix any place,  either  within or without  the State of
Iowa,  as the place for holding any  special  meeting of the board of  directors
called by him or them.  Notice of any special  meeting of the board of directors
shall be  given  at  least  two days  previously  thereto  by  notice  delivered
personally or mailed to each director at his business address.  If mailed,  such
notice shall be deemed to be delivered  when deposited in the United States mail
so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. Any director may waive notice of any
meeting.  The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting  unless the director at the beginning of the meeting,  or
promptly  upon the  director's  arrival,  objects  to  holding  the  meeting  or
transacting  business at the meeting and does not thereafter  vote for or assent
to  action  taken at the  meeting.  Members  of the board of  directors,  or any
committees  designated by the board,  may participate in a meeting of such board
or committee by  conference  telephone  or similar  communications  equipment by
means of which all persons  participating in the meeting can simultaneously hear
each other during the meeting,  and  participation in a meeting pursuant to this
provision shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.                  

     Section  4.  Quorum.  A majority  of the total  number of  directors  shall
constitute a quorum for the  transaction of business at any meeting of the board
of directors, but if less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority
of the  directors  present may adjourn  the  meeting  from time to time  without
further notice.                                                                 

     Section  5.  Manner of Acting.  The act of the  majority  of the  directors
present at a meeting at which a quorum is present  shall be the act of the board

present at a meeting of the board of  directors  or a committee  of the board of
directors at which action on any corporate  matter is taken shall be presumed to

of the  meeting  or  promptly  upon the  director's  arrival  to  holding  it or
transacting  business at the meeting,  the director's dissent or abstention from
the action  taken is entered in the  minutes  of the  meeting,  or the  director
delivers written notice of the director's dissent or abstention to the presiding
officer in the meeting before its adjournment or to the corporation  immediately
after  adjournment  of the meeting.  The right of dissent or  abstention  is not
available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken.                 

     Section 9. Informal Action by Directors. Any action required to be taken at
a meeting of the directors,  or any other action which may be taken at a meeting
of the  directors,  may be taken  without a meeting  if a  consent  in  writing,
setting  forth  the  action so  taken,  shall be signed by all of the  directors
entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.
