operations, in residential mortgage loans, consumer
loans, commercial real estate loans, and commercial

mortgage-related securities and investment securities.
Principal lending is on one-to-four family,
owner-occupied homes, home equity loans and lines of

The largest concentration of our offices is in the

extensive manufacturing economic base, which is
diversifying into service and technology based
businesses.
We have four offices in the Madison area. Madison is
the state capital of Wisconsin and is the second largest
metropolitan area in Wisconsin representing
approximately 8% of the state's population. Our eight
other south central and southeastern Wisconsin offices
are located in smaller cities that have economic
concentrations ranging from manufacturing to
agriculture.
We operate 21 banking offices in nine northeastern
counties that make up approximately 15% of the state's
population including the city of Green Bay. The greater
Green Bay area has an economic base of paper and other
manufacturing, health care, insurance and gaming, and is
diversifying into technology based businesses. Two of
our offices in this region are near the Michigan border;
we are also developing customers in Northern Michigan.
We also have 20 offices in the northwestern part of
the state and will be adding a new office in the Eau
Claire area. This part of the state had medium sized to
smaller cities and towns. Industry includes medium sized
and small business, with a significant agricultural
component. The counties in which the northwest region
offices are located hold approximately 8% of the state's
population. Our Minnesota office is located near the
Wisconsin state border on the eastern edge of the
