PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Mid-Wisconsin Financial Services, Inc. ("the Company") is a registered bank
holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the
"BHCA"). The Company's subsidiary operates under the name Mid-Wisconsin Bank
(the "Bank") and has its principal office in Medford, Wisconsin. Except as may
otherwise be noted, this annual report on Form 10-K describes the business of
the Company and the Bank as in effect on December 31, 2001.
ACQUISITIONS
The Company has a policy of actively pursuing opportunities to acquire
additional bank subsidiaries so that, at any given time, it may be engaged in
some tentative or preliminary discussions for such purpose with officers,
directors or principal shareholders of other holding companies or banks. There
are no plans, understandings, or arrangements, written or oral, regarding other
acquisitions as of the date hereof.
BUSINESS OF THE BANK
The day-to-day management of the Bank rests with its officers and board of
directors. The Bank is engaged in general commercial and retail banking
services, including trust services. The Bank serves individuals, businesses
and governmental units and offers most forms of commercial and consumer
lending, including lines of credit, term loans, real estate financing and
mortgage lending. In addition, the Bank provides a full range of personal
banking services, including checking accounts, savings and time accounts,
installment and other personal loans, as well as mortgage loans. New services
are frequently added to the Bank's retail banking departments.
The Trust and Investment Center located in Medford offers a wide variety of
fiduciary, investment management and advisory services to individuals,
corporations, charitable trusts, and foundations. The Bank administers
pension, profit sharing and other employee benefit plans, and personal trusts
and estates. The Bank also provides discount and full-service brokerage
services, including the sale of fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds and
securities.
THE BANK
The Bank was incorporated on September 1, 1890, as a state bank under the laws
of Wisconsin. The Bank's principal office is located at 132 West State Street,
Medford, Wisconsin, 54451. The Bank's principal office and nine branches
provide various commercial and consumer banking services for customers located
principally in Taylor County and portions of Eau Claire, Lincoln, Clark,
Marathon, Price and Oneida Counties, Wisconsin.
The Bank's principal branch offices are located in Medford, Colby, Neillsville,
Phillips and Rhinelander Wisconsin. These branches provide commercial and
consumer banking services for customers located in the surrounding market
areas.
BANK MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
The Bank competes for loans, deposits, and financial services in all of its
principal markets. Much of this competition comes from companies which are
larger and have greater resources than the Company. The Bank competes directly
with other banks, savings associations, credit unions, finance companies,
mutual funds, life insurance companies and other financial and non-financial
companies. Many of these nonbank competitors offer products and services that
are functionally equivalent to the products and services offered by the Bank.
Competition involves efforts to obtain new deposits, interest rates paid on
deposits and charged on loans, as well as other aspects of banking.
Recent changes in banking laws have had a significant effect on the competitive
environment in which the Bank operates and are likely to continue to increase
competition for the Bank. For example, federal law permits adequately
capitalized and managed bank holding companies to engage in interstate banking
on a much broader scale than in the past. Banks are also permitted to create
interstate branching networks in states which do not "opt out" of the new laws.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 has also increased the competitive
environment for the Bank. Under this act, financial holding companies are now
permitted to conduct a broad range of banking, insurance and securities
activities. The Company believes that the combined effects of more interstate
banking and the development of greater "one-stop" availability for banking,
insurance and securities services will both increase the overall level of
competition and attract competitors with which the Bank may not now compete for
its customers.
EMPLOYEES
All officers of the Company except the Chairman and the Vice President are
full-time employees of the Bank. As of December 31, 2001, the Company and its
subsidiaries had 129 full-time equivalent employees.

All executive officers are elected annually by the board of directors at its
annual meeting and hold office until the next annual meeting of the board of
directors, or until their respective successors are elected and qualified.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation under both federal and state
law. The Company is a registered bank holding company and is subject to
regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Board") pursuant to the BHCA. The Bank is subject to regulation
and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and, as a
Wisconsin chartered bank, by the Wisconsin Department of Financial
Institutions.
The Board expects a bank holding company to be a source of strength for its
subsidiary banks. As such, the Company may be required to take certain actions
or commit certain resources to the bank when it might otherwise choose not to
do so. Under federal and state banking laws, the Company and the Bank are also
subject to regulations which govern the Company's and the Bank's capital
adequacy, loans and loan policies (including the extension of credit to
affiliates), deposits, payment of dividends, establishment of branch offices,
mergers and other acquisitions, investments in or the conduct of other lines of
business, management personnel, interlocking directors and other aspects of the
operation of the Company and the Bank.
Bank regulators having jurisdiction over the Company and the Bank generally
have the authority to impose civil fines or penalties and to impose regulatory
sanctions for noncompliance with applicable banking regulations and policies.
In particular, the FDIC has broad authority to take corrective action if the
Bank fails to maintain required capital level. Information concerning the
Company's compliance with applicable capital requirements is set forth under
the subheading "Capital Adequacy" in Item 7 and Item 8, and Note 14 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Banking laws and regulations have undergone periodic revisions that often have
a direct effect on the Bank's operations and its competitive environment. From
time to time various formal or informal proposals, including new legislation,
relating to, among other things, changes with respect to deposit insurance,
permitted bank activities and restructuring of the federal regulatory scheme
have been made or may be made or adopted in the future. It is likely that such
changes may have a significant impact on the Company's competitive
circumstances and that such changes may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
MONETARY POLICY
The earnings and growth of the Bank, and therefore the Company, are affected by
the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and governmental
agencies. The Board has a direct and indirect influence on the costs of funds
used by the Bank for lending and its actions have a substantial effect on
interest rates, the general availability of credit and the economy as a whole.
These policies therefore affect the growth of Bank loans and deposits and the
rates charged for loans and paid for deposits. Governmental and Board policies
have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in
the past and are expected to do so in the future. Management of the Company is
not able to anticipate the future impact of such policies and practices on the
growth of the profitability of the Company.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
MARKET INFORMATION
There is no active established public trading market in Company common stock,
although two regional broker-dealers act as market makers for the stock. Bid
and ask quotations are published periodically in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
and prices are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "MWFS.OB".
Transactions in the Company common stock are limited and sporadic.
On December 15, 2000, the Company made a self-tender offer to purchase up to
90,557 shares and reserved the right to expand its offer and purchase up to 7%
of its issued and outstanding common stock for $25.50 per share. The tender-
offer expired on January 31, 2001. The Company accepted 116,117 shares of its
common stock for repurchase in connection with its tender offer. The shares
repurchased represented approximately 6.4% of the shares outstanding
immediately prior to the tender offer. Following the purchase of accepted
shares, 1,695,452 shares of the Company's common stock were outstanding.
HOLDERS
As of March 15, 2002, there were approximately 822 holders of record of the
Company's $.10 per share par value common stock. Some of the Company's shares
are held in "street" name and the number of beneficial owners of such shares is
not known nor included in the foregoing number.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company's Bylaws provide that, subject to the provisions of applicable law,
the Board of Directors may declare dividends from unreserved and unrestricted
earned surplus, at such times and in such amounts as the board shall deem
advisable.
The Company's ability to pay dividends depends upon the receipt of dividends
from the Bank. Bank dividends are subject to limitation under banking laws and
regulations. As of December 31, 2001, the Bank could have paid $10,364,637 of
additional dividends to the Company without prior regulatory approval. The
declaration of dividends by the Company is discretionary and will depend upon
operating results and financial condition, regulatory limitations, tax
considerations and other factors. The Company has paid regular dividends since
its inception in 1986.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following management's discussion and analysis reviews significant factors
with respect to the Company's financial condition and results of operations at
and for the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes,
tables, and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report.
Management's discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that
are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial
performance. However, such performance involves risks and uncertainties that
may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements.
For a discussion of certain factors that may cause such forward-looking
statements to differ materially from actual results see Item 1, Cautionary
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information, in this Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's consolidated net income for 2001 was $3.8 million, an increase of
$500,000 or 14.9% higher than 2000. Basic and diluted earnings per share for
2001 were $2.25, a 21.6% increase over 2000 basic and diluted earnings per
share of $1.85. Return on average common stockholders' equity and return on
average assets were 13.36% and 1.18% for 2001 compared to 11.74% and 1.07% for
2000. Cash dividends paid in 2001 increased by 1.7% to $1.22 per share over
the $1.20 per share paid in 2000. Key factors behind these results were:
Taxable equivalent net interest income was $12.9 million for 2001,
$1.1 million or 9.3% higher than 2000. Taxable equivalent interest
income decreased by $491,000, while interest expense decreased $1.6
million. The volume of average earning assets increased $10.9 million
to $305 million, which exceeded the $9.2 million increase in interest
bearing liabilities. Increases in volume and changes in product mix
added $480,000 to taxable equivalent net interest income, whereas changes
in the rate environment of 2001 resulted in a $623,000 increase.
Total loans and deposits were $232.1 million and $258.4 million,
respectively, at December 31, 2001, compared to $227.1 million and $244.7
million, respectively, at December 31, 2000.
The allowance for credit losses remained constant at $2.6 million
in 2001 and 2000. Net loan charge-offs increased $273,000, primarily due
to two large commercial credits, and were .16% of average loans
outstanding compared to .04% in 2000. The ratio of allowance for credit
losses to loans was 1.12% and 1.14% at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
Noninterest income was $2.4 million for 2001, $122,000 or 5.3%
higher than 2000. Noninterest expense increased $460,000 or 5.3% over
2000 to $9.1 million.
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and
rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest-rate risk
inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively
monitors and manages its interest-rate risk exposure. The measurement of the
market risk associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all
related and offsetting on- and off-balance sheet transactions are aggregated,
and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about the fair
value of financial instruments that reflect changes in market prices and rates
can be found in footnotes 16 and 17 on the Notes to the Financial Statements.
The Company's primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to minimize
the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company's net interest
income and capital, while adjusting the Company's asset-liability structure to
obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. The Company relies
primarily on its asset-liability structure to control interest-rate risk.
However, a sudden and substantial increase in interest rates may adversely
impact the Company's earnings, to the extent that the interest rates borne by
assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or
on the same basis. The Company does not engage in trading activities.
INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income represents the difference between interest earned on loans,
securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest expense
associated with the deposits and borrowings that fund them. Interest rate
fluctuations together with changes in volume and types of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities combine to affect total net interest income.
Additionally, net interest income is impacted by the sensitivity of the balance
sheet to change in interest rates, contractual maturities, and repricing
frequencies.
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income was $12.9 million for 2001, an
increase of $1.1 million or 9.3% from 2000. The increase in fully taxable
equivalent net interest income was due to a combination of the lower cost of
interest bearing liabilities in 2001 to fund the earning assets and the
liability sensitive repricing gap.
As indicated in tables 2 and 3, increases in volume and changes in the mix of
both earning assets and interest bearing liabilities added $480,000 to fully
taxable equivalent net interest income, and the changes in the rates resulted
in a $623,000 increase, for a net increase of $1.1 million.
The net interest margin and interest rate spread improved to 4.24% and 3.62%
compared to 4.02% and 3.29% in 2000. For 2001, the yield on earning assets
decreased 46 basis points, decreasing interest income by $491,000 while the
cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 79 basis points, decreasing
interest expense by $1.6 million for a net increase of $1.1 million in fully
taxable equivalent net interest income. The increase in net interest margin
was impacted by the interest rate environment of 2001 causing the liability
sensitive balance sheet of the Bank to reprice at the declining interest rates.
The growth and composition change of earning assets contributed an additional
$777,000 to fully taxable equivalent net interest income, while the growth and
composition of interest bearing liabilities cost an additional $297,000,
netting a $480,000 increase in fully taxable equivalent net interest income.
Average earning assets were $305 million in 2001, an increase of $10.9 million,
or 3.7%, from 2000. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $9.2
million, or 3.6% from 2000. The composition of interest bearing liabilities
shifted from higher cost short-term borrowings to more core deposit lower
interest rate products. Total borrowings were $42.3 million on average for
2001, down $4.1 million or 8.9%. Total interest bearing deposits cost 4.28% on
average for 2001 (65 basis points less than last year), while wholesale
borrowings cost 4.59% (138 basis points less than last year).

Noninterest income was $2.4 million for 2001, $122,000 or 5.3% higher than
2000. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenues was 9.3% for 2001
compared to 8.7% last year.

Service fees were $883,000, $80,000 or 10.0% higher than 2000 due to the second
quarter increase in deposit service fees.
Trust service fees for 2001 were $659,000, up 4.8% from last year. This
increase reflects the continued growth in trust business volume and growth in
the assets managed by the Bank's Trust Department.
Investment product commissions consist of annuity sales, brokerage services,
mutual fund sales, life insurance commissions, and self-directed IRA fees.
Investment product commissions decreased $84,000 or 31.6% from last year. The
change was predominantly due to a decrease in the fair market value of assets
under management, primarily from the declines in the stock and bond markets
during 2001.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Total noninterest expense for 2001 was $9.1 million, a $461,000 or 5.3%
increase over 2000.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $281,000 or 6.1% over 2000 and
represented 53.9% of total noninterest expense in 2001 compared to 53.6% in
2000. While the average number of full time equivalent employees remained the
same between the years, salaries increased 1.5% in 2001, due to merit
increases. Employee benefits increased $226,000 in 2001, primarily the result
of an increase in profit sharing expense.
Occupancy expense was $1.2 million for 2001 decreasing 8.0% from last year.
The majority of the decrease was due to the savings of occupancy costs realized
from the discontinuation of one Bank branch.
Data processing costs increased 1.3% reflecting the increasing cost of
maintenance contracts. Other operating expense increased $258,000 or 13.2% in
2001. The majority of the change is due to a loss on an error in a trade
execution on a security held for investment. The Company is seeking
reimbursement for the loss of approximately $180,000 from the broker that
services the Bank's brokerage business. The Bank's claim is in the early
stages of arbitration and the Company cannot predict the outcome of that
proceeding at this time.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The adequacy of the reserve for credit losses is assessed based upon credit
quality, existing economic conditions and loss exposure by loan category.
Management determines the allowance for credit losses based on past loan
experience, current economic conditions, composition of the loan portfolio, and
the potential for future loss. Accordingly, the amount charged to expense is
based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio. It is the Company's
policy that when available information confirms that specific loans and leases,
or portions thereof, including impaired loans, are uncollectible, these amounts
are promptly charged off against the allowance. The provision for credit
losses was $370,000 in 2001; compared to $400,000 in 2000 and $180,000 in 1999.
See additional discussion under section, "Allowance for Credit Losses."
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 27.8% in 2001, 26.4% in 2000, and 30.0% in 1999.
See footnote 11 to the financial statements for additional tax information.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The investment securities portfolio is intended to provide the Company with
adequate liquidity, flexible asset/liability management and a source of stable
income. All securities are classified as available for sale and reported at
fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings but are
reported as other comprehensive income in a separate component of stockholders'
equity, net of income tax. The investment portfolio represented 23% of average
earning assets for both 2001 and 2000.

At December 31, 2001, the Company's securities portfolio did not contain
securities of any single issuer where the aggregate carrying value of such
securities exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity.
Securities with an approximate carrying value of $38.3 million and $42.2
million, at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were pledged primarily to
secure public deposits, short-term borrowings, and for other purposes required
by law.

Real estate mortgage loans totaled $135.4 million at the end of 2001 and $127.3
million at the end of 2000. Loans in this classification include $65.8 million
of loans secured by 1-to-4 family residential properties. Residential real
estate loans consist of home mortgages, home equity lines, and second mortgages.
Commercial loans were $44.3 million at the end of 2001, up $1.5 million since
year-end 2000, and comprising 19.1% of the total loans outstanding, up from
18.8% at the end of 2000. The commercial and financial loan classification
primarily consists of commercial loans to small businesses. Loans of this type
are in a broad range of industries. Loans to finance agricultural production
total $36.8 million or 15.9% of total loans.
Commercial real estate construction loans grew 28.6% to $5.4 million at the end
of 2001 compared to $4.2 million at the end of 2000. Loans in this
classification are primarily short-term loans that provide financing for the
acquisition or development of commercial real estate, such as multi-family or
other commercial development projects.
Installment loans to individuals totaled $10.2 million, down from $11.2 million
at year-end 2000. Installment loans include short-term installment loans,
automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, credit card loans, and other
personal loans. The Bank experiences extensive competition from local credit
unions offering low rates on installment loans.

The loan portfolio is widely diversified by types of borrowers, industry
groups, and market areas. Significant loan concentrations are considered to
exist for a financial institution when there are amounts loaned to numerous
borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly
impacted by economic conditions. At December 31, 2001, no concentrations
existed in the Company's portfolio in excess of 10% of total loans.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The loan portfolio is the primary asset subject to credit risk. Credit risk is
controlled through the use of credit standards, review of potential borrowers,
and loan payment performance. As of December 31, 2001, the allowance for
credit losses remained constant at $2.6 million for 2001 and 2000. As of
December 31, 2001 the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total
loans outstanding was 1.1% and covered 108.8% of nonperforming loans, compared
to 1.1% and 102.6%, respectively, at December 31, 2000.

The allowance for credit losses represents management's estimate of an amount
adequate to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Adequacy of
the allowance for credit losses is based on management's ongoing review and
grading of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, trends in past due
and nonperforming loans, and current economic conditions. The Company has an
internal risk analysis and review staff that continuously reviews loan quality.
The allocation of the year-end allowance for credit losses for each of the past
five years based on management's estimates of loss exposure by category of
loans is shown in Table 12. The allocation methodology applied by the Company
focuses on changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, current and
expected economic conditions, the geographic and industry mix of the loan
portfolio and historical losses by category. The total allowance is available
to absorb losses from any segment of the portfolio. Management allocates the
allowance for credit losses by pools of risk. The Company combines estimates
of the allowance needed for loans analyzed individually and loans analyzed on a
pool basis. The determination of allocated reserves for larger commercial
loans involves a review of individual higher-risk transactions, focusing on
loan grading, and assessment of specific loss content and possible resolutions
of problem credits.
In the opinion of management, the allowance for credit losses is adequate as of
December 31, 2001. While management uses available information to recognize
losses on loans, future adjustments may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions.

to $93,000 or .04% of average loans for 2000, and were $53,000 or .02% of
average loans for 1999. The $273,000 increase in net loans charged off was
primarily due to partial charge-offs of two large commercial credits. Loans
charged off are subject to continuous review and specific efforts are taken to
achieve maximum recovery of principal, accrued interest, and related expenses.
Nonperforming loans are defined as nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past
due but still accruing, and restructured loans. Loans are generally placed on
nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or
principal payments. Previously accrued and uncollected interest on such loans
is reversed, and income is recorded only to the extent that interest payments
are subsequently received and principal is collectible.
Loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing interest are also included in
nonperforming loans. Also included in nonperforming loans are restructured
loans. Restructured loans involve the granting of concessions to the borrower
involving the modification of terms of the loan, such as changes in payment
schedule or interest rate.

Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2001, were $2.4 million, a decrease of
$139,000 from December 31, 2000.
Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless
collectability of the principal amount is fully assured, in which case interest
is recognized on the cash basis. The interest that would have been reported in
2001 if all loans had been current throughout the year in accordance with their
original terms was $124,371 in comparison to $122,893 actually collected.
DEPOSITS
Deposits are the Company's largest source of funds. At December 31, 2001,
deposits were $258.4 million, up $13.7 million or 5.6% over last year,
primarily in money market deposits (up $10 million).
The Company's retail deposit growth is continuously influenced by competitive
pressure from other financial institutions, as well as other investment
opportunities available to customers. During 2001, the Company experienced a
shift of deposit mix to more short-term liquid accounts from time deposits due
to the interest rate environment.

OTHER FUNDING SOURCES
Other funding sources, including short-term borrowings and long-term debt, were
$49.4 million at December 31, 2001, up $7.2 million from $42.2 million at
December 31, 2000. Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold under
repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased. The repurchase agreements
are payable on demand. Long-term debt at December 31, 2001, was $30 million,
up from $16.2 million at the end of last year.
The mix of other funding sources shifted toward longer-term investments, with
average long-term debt representing 60.7% of other funding sources from 38.4%
last year, in response to asset/liability objectives. Within the short-term
borrowing category, federal funds purchased and securities sold under
repurchase agreements were down $6.6 million.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The Bank's Asset Liability Management process provides a unified approach to
management of liquidity, capital and interest rate risk, and to provide
adequate funds to support the borrowing requirements and deposit flow of its
customers. Management views liquidity as the ability to raise cash at a
reasonable cost or with a minimum of loss and as a measure of balance sheet
flexibility to react to marketplace, regulatory, and competitive changes.
The Bank's primary funding source is deposits. Deposits as a percentage of
other funding sources were 84.0% at December 31, 2001 and 85.3% at December 31,
2000. Other funding sources represent the balance of the Bank's total funding
needs. The primary funding sources utilized are Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements from a base of
individuals, businesses, and public entities, and brokered CDs.
Management's overall strategy is to coordinate the volume of rate sensitive
assets and liabilities to minimize the impact of interest rate movement on the
net interest margin. Table 17 represents the Company's earning sensitivity to
changes in interest rates at December 31, 2001. It is a static indicator which
does not reflect various repricing characteristics and may not indicate the
sensitivity of net interest income in a changing interest rate environment.
Table 17 reflects a negative gap position in all categories one year or less;
the cumulative one-year gap ratio is negative at 56.0%. The Bank is attempting
to change this trend in the gap ratio by shortening final loan maturities and
offering more variable rate loan products. A significant portion of consumer
deposits do not re-price or mature on a contractual basis. These deposit
balances and rates are considered to be core deposits since these balances are
generally not susceptible to significant interest rate changes. The Bank's
Asset/Liability Committee attempts to distribute these deposits over a number
of periods to reflect those portions of such accounts that are expected to re-
price fully with market rates over the simulation period. The assumptions are
based on historical experience with the Bank's individual markets and customers
and include projections for how management expects to continue to price in
response to marketplace and market changes.
The Asset/Liability Committee uses financial modeling techniques that measure
the interest rate risk. Policies established by the Bank's Asset/Liability
Committee are intended to limit exposure of earnings at risk. Management
considers that an acceptable range for the rate sensitivity ratio is 70-130%.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2001, decreased to $29.6 million or $17.42
per share compared with $30.3 million or $16.75 per share at the end of 2000.
The primary decrease in stockholders' equity in 2001 was a function of the
repurchase of common stock and cash dividends. Included in capital at year-end
2001 is a $604,000 equity component compared to $246,000 at December 31, 2000,
related to unrealized gains on securities AFS, net of their tax effect. Cash
dividends paid in 2001 were $1.22 per share compared to $1.20 per share in
2000. As a result of the completion of the Company's self-tender offer of
common stock during 2001 stockholders' equity decreased $3 million.
The adequacy of the Company's capital is regularly reviewed to ensure that
sufficient capital is available for current and future needs and is in
compliance with regulatory guidelines. As of December 31, 2001, 2000, and
1999, the Company's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios, total risk-based capital
ratios and Tier 1 leverage ratios were well in excess of regulatory
requirements. Management feels the capital structure of the Company is
adequate.

addition to trust services and uninsured investment product sales.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mid-Wisconsin
Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Mid-Wisconsin Bank
(the "Bank"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to
generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice within the
banking industry.
ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet
caption "cash and due from banks." Cash and due from banks includes cash on
hand and non-interest-bearing deposits at correspondent banks.
SECURITIES
Securities are assigned an appropriate classification at the time of purchase
in accordance with management's intent. Securities held to maturity represent
those securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity. Accordingly, these securities are carried at cost adjusted
for amortization of premium and accretion of discount calculated using the
effective yield method. Unrealized gains and losses on securities held to
maturity are not recognized in the financial statements. The Company has no
held to maturity securities.
Trading securities include those securities bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near future. The Company has no trading
securities.
Securities not classified as either securities held to maturity or trading
securities are considered available for sale and reported at fair value
determined from estimates of brokers or other sources. Unrealized gains and
losses are excluded from earnings but are reported as other comprehensive
income in a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of income tax
effects.

SECURITIES (CONTINUED)
Any gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized at the time of sale
using the specific identification method.
INTEREST AND FEES ON LOANS
Interest on loans is credited to income as earned. Interest income is not
accrued on loans where management has determined collection of such interest is
doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but
unpaid interest deemed uncollectible is reversed and charged against current
income. After being placed on nonaccrual status, additional income is recorded
only to the extent that payments are received or the collection of principal
becomes reasonably assured. Interest income recognition on impaired loans is
consistent with the recognition on all other loans.
Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred
and amortized to income over the contractual lives of the underlying loans.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level management believes is
adequate to absorb probable credit losses relating to specifically identified
loans and probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a regular, quarterly
assessment of the loan portfolio, past events, current economic conditions, and
other relevant factors. The allowance is adjusted through provisions for
credit losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance when
management believes the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net
unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to
income. Mortgage servicing rights are not retained.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation.
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or
losses on disposition of premises and equipment are reflected in income.
Depreciation is computed on both accelerated and straight-line methods and is
based on the estimated useful lives of the assets varying generally from 40 to
50 years on buildings and three to nine years on equipment. Computer equipment
and related software are depreciated or amortized over a useful life of three
years.
FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are
held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of
foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are
periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at cost or
fair value less estimated costs to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations
and changes in the valuation allowance are included in loss on foreclosed real
estate.
GOODWILL AND PURCHASED INTANGIBLES
The excess of cost over the net assets acquired (goodwill) was amortized using
the straight-line method over a 15-year period from the date of acquisition.
Amortization of goodwill ceased on January 1, 2002 in accordance with the
change in accounting discussed in Note 2.
The purchased core deposit intangible is amortized using a systematic method
over an eight-year period.
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value and remaining
amortization period of all long-lived assets including intangible assets for
impairment. Adjustments are recorded when the value of the asset decreases or
is determined to be impaired.
RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company maintains a money purchase defined contribution pension plan and a
defined contribution 401(k) profit-sharing plan which cover substantially all
employees.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes have been provided under the liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the differences between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as measured by
the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences are
expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in the
deferred tax asset and liability.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the potential common
stock shares issuable under the stock options granted. The weighted average
number of shares outstanding were 1,706,958 in 2001, 1,813,653 in 2000, and
1,826,440 in 1999.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.
NOTE 2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statements of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," and No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities." Under these SFAS, the Company
must recognize all significant derivatives as either assets or liabilities in
the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in fair
value are generally recognized in earnings in the period of the change. The
adoption of SFAS No. 133 and No. 138 did not have an impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting
for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
SFAS No. 142 addresses how intangible assets acquired outside of a business
combination should be accounted for upon acquisition and how goodwill and other
intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially
recognized. SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization for goodwill and other
intangible assets with indefinite lives. Other intangible assets with a finite
life will be amortized over their useful life. Goodwill and other intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives shall be tested for impairment annually or
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset
may be impaired. There will be no cumulative effect of a change in accounting
when the Company adopts SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. However, amortization
of goodwill ceased as of January 1, 2002. Amortization of goodwill anticipated
during 2002 prior to adoption of SFAS No. 142 would have been $86,433.

NOTE 6 LOANS (Continued)
The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses which assesses the risk and losses inherent in its
portfolio. This process provides an allowance consisting of two components,
allocated and unallocated. To arrive at the allocated component of the
allowance, the Company combines estimates of the allowances needed for loans
analyzed individually (including impaired loans) and loans analyzed on a pool
basis.
The determination of allocated reserves for larger commercial and commercial
real estate loans involves a review of individual higher-risk transactions,
focusing on the accuracy of loan grading, assessments of specific loss content,
and, in some cases, strategies for resolving problem credits.
The Company's determination of the amount of the allowance and,
correspondingly, the provision for credit losses rests upon various judgments
and assumptions, including general economic conditions, loan portfolio
composition, prior loan loss experience, and the Company's ongoing examination
process and that of its regulators. The Company has an internal risk analysis
and review staff that continuously reviews loan quality and reports the results
of its examinations to executive management and the Board of Directors. Such
reviews also assist management in establishing the level of the allowance.
The allowance arrived at through this methodology is adjusted by management's
judgment concerning the effect of recent economic events on portfolio
performance.
The allowance for credit losses includes specific allowances related to loans
which have been judged to be impaired under current accounting standards
(primarily commercial loans). A loan is impaired when, based on current
information, it is probable that the Company will not collect all amounts due
in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These specific
allowances are based on discounted cash flows of expected future payments using
the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral
if the loan is collateral dependent.
