ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Iowa First Bancshares Corp. (the "Company"), is a bank holding company
headquartered in Muscatine, Iowa. The Company owns all the outstanding stock of
two national banks in Iowa, First National Bank of Muscatine and First National
Bank in Fairfield.
On a full-time equivalent basis, year-end employment for the Company and its
subsidiary banks totaled 114 employees.
First National Bank of Muscatine has a total of four locations in Muscatine,
Iowa. First National Bank in Fairfield has one location in Fairfield, Iowa. Each
bank is engaged in the general commercial banking business and provides full
service banking to individuals and businesses, including checking and savings
accounts, commercial loans, consumer loans, real estate loans, safe deposit
facilities, transmitting of funds, trust services, and such other banking
services as are usual and customary for commercial banks.
The commercial banking business is highly competitive. Subsidiary banks compete
with other commercial banks and with other financial institutions, including
savings and loan associations, savings banks, mortgage banking companies, credit
unions and mutual funds. In recent years, competition also has increased from
institutions not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as banks and bank
holding companies.
The operations of the Company and its subsidiary banks are affected by state and
federal legislative changes and by policies of various regulatory authorities.
The Company is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956 (the "Act") and is subject to the supervision of, and regulation by,
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board"). Under the
Act, a bank holding company may engage in banking, managing or controlling
banks, furnishing or performing services for banks it controls, and conducting
activities that the Board has determined to be closely related to banking.
National banks are subject to the supervision of, and are examined by, the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Both subsidiary banks of the Company
are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and as such, are
subject to examination thereby. In practice, the primary federal regulator makes
regular examinations of each subsidiary bank subject to its regulatory review or
participates in joint examinations with other federal regulators. Areas subject
to regulation by these authorities include capital levels, the allowance for
possible loan losses, investments, loans, mergers, issuance of securities,
payment of dividends, establishment of branches, and many other aspects of
operations.
Statistical information called for by this Item is contained in the Company's
1996 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated by reference.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Since the Company commenced business, its principal executive office has been
located at 300 East Second Street, Muscatine, Iowa, which is the principal
office of First National Bank of Muscatine, a national banking association and a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
First National Bank of Muscatine conducts its operations from four facilities
located in Muscatine. The main bank is located at 300 East Second Street and is
a modern brick and steel building completed in 1979 containing 36,000 square
feet of floor space on three floors. The bank owns both the building and the

bank. The facility contains 2,304 square feet of floor space in a one-story
concrete and steel building. The facility offers a walk-in lobby and night
depository. The three-lane drive-up facility of this branch is located
approximately 500 feet west of the branch at the parking lot of the mall. The
building, drive-up facilities, and real estate are leased from Aetna Life
Insurance Company. The terms of the lease provide for monthly payments of $2,304
during the current 5-year term of the lease. This lease expires on May 31, 1999.
The bank's southside office at 608 Grandview Avenue is located two miles
southwest of the main bank. The office contains 3,600 square feet of floor space
and is located in a one-story steel frame concrete block building. The facility
offers a walk-in lobby and three drive-up lanes as well as a night depository.

building are leased to commercial tenants.

two floors. The bank owns both the building and the underlying real estate.
