                                  June 30,2003

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First
Banking Center, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company"). In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operation and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
industry practice. Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and industry practice has
been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's December 31, 2002 audited financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NOTE 4 - Stock-based Compensation Plan:

For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had one stock-based
key officer and employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for this plan
under the recognitions and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the income, as all
options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to
stock-based employee compensation.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal
proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such
proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial statements.

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, financial
guarantees, and standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the consolidated
balance sheets.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of
those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and issuing letters of credit as they do for on-balance-sheet
instruments.

<TABLE>

A summary of the contract or notional amount of the Company's exposure to
off-balance-sheet risk as of June 30 is as follows:

Financial instruments whose contract
  amounts represent credit risk:
    Commitments to extend credit                  $ 72,874       $ 69,499
    Standby letters of credit                        2,341          3,851


</TABLE>

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party.
Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.
The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon
extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Credit card commitments are unsecured.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and,
generally, have terms of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral, which may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, equipment, and income-producing properties,
supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does
not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third-party,
the Bank would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount
of future payments the Bank could be required to make is represented by the
contractual amount shown in the summary on the previous page. If the commitment
is funded the Bank would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At June
30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for
the Bank's potential obligations under these guarantees.

Note 6 - Recent Acquisitions

On April 11, 2003, the Company purchased $10.3 million of deposits from North
Shore Bank, FSB located in Walworth, Wisconsin, at a premium of 8% and
transferred the deposits to its existing Walworth branch. The Company also
acquired the branch building of North Shore Bank, FSB in this transaction at a
cost of $240 thousand and on June 16, 2003 disposed of the building for $240
thousand.

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

                    FIRST BANKING CENTER, INC AND SUBSIDIARY
                       MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               As of June 30, 2003

The following discussion provides additional analysis of the financial condition
and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended June 30,
2003. This discussion focuses on the significant factors that affected the
Company's earnings so far in 2003, with comparisons to 2002. As of June 30,
2003, First Banking Center (the "Bank") was the only direct subsidiary of the
Company and its operations contributed nearly all of the revenue for the year.
The Company provides various support functions for the Bank and receives payment
from the Bank for these services. These intercompany payments are eliminated for
the purpose of these consolidated financial statements. The Bank has two wholly
owned subsidiaries, FBC Financial Services, Corp., a brokerage and financial
services subsidiary, and FBC-Burlington, Inc., an investment subsidiary located
in Nevada.

Overview

As of June 30, 2003, total Company assets were $509.7 million decreasing 1.6%
from $518.2 million as of December 31, 2002. Total income, for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, was $3.0 million or $2.02 per share, decreasing 8.5% from
$3.3 million or $2.24 per share in 2002. The significant items resulting in the
above-mentioned results are discussed below.

Financial Condition

Loans

Loans outstanding were $372.0 million and $372.1 million on June 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 respectively. This represents a decrease of $.1 million or
..05%. The following table summarizes the changes to date in the major loan
classifications.

</TABLE>

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses was $5.0 million or 1.35% of gross loans on June
30, 2003, compared with $5.0 million or 1.34% of gross loans on December 31,
2002. Net charge-offs were $47 thousand or .01% of gross loans and $6 thousand
or .002% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when
management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The
allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable credit losses relating
to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in
the balance of the loan portfolio. In accordance with FASB Statements 5 and 114,
the allowance is provided for losses that have been incurred as of the balance
sheet date. The allowance is based on past events and current economic
conditions, and does not include the effects of expected losses on specific
loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes
in economic conditions. Management reviews a calculation of the allowance for
loan losses on a quarterly basis. While management uses the best information
available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be
necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. Impaired
loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient,
at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. A loan is impaired when it is probable the company
will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in
accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

<PAGE>

In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for
loan losses. These agencies may require the bank to make additions to the
allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of collectibility based on
information available to them at the time of their examination.

For the six months ending June 30, 2003, $90 thousand was charged to current
earnings and added to the allowance for loan losses compared to $180 thousand
during the first six months of 2002. The bank charged less to earnings during
2003 versus 2002 because management determined the allowance was adequate
without additional provisions during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Non-accrual, Past Due and Renegotiated Loans

Non-accrual Loans (a)                                $7,140          $2,016
Past Due 90 days + (b)                                    0               0
Restructured Loans                                        0               0
</TABLE>

The policy of the Company is to place a loan on non-accrual status if:

(a)  payment in full of interest and principal is not expected, or

(b)  principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more
     unless the obligation is both in the process of collection and well
     secured. Well secured is defined as collateral with sufficient market value
     to repay principal and all accrued interest. A debt is in the process of
     collection if collection of the debt is proceeding in due course either
     through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or in
     appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal
     action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or
     in its restoration to current status.

The non-accrual loans consisted primarily of $5.4 million of commercial real
estate loans, $1.7 million of residential real estate loans and $24 thousand of
commercial loans. On June 30, 2003, the ratio of non-accrual loans to the
allowance for loan losses was 141.9% compared to 40.4% on December 31, 2002. The
$5.4 million of non-accrual commercial loans consists primarily of two loans
which are in the process of collection. The company believes it has an adequate
allowance for any anticipated losses for these loans.


As of June 30, 2003, the Company had loans totaling $15.3 million in addition to
those listed as non-accrual, past due or restructured that were identified by
the Banks' internal asset rating systems as classified assets and loans which
management has determined require additional monitoring. This represents a
decrease of $8.8 million or 36.4% from December 31, 2002. Management is not
aware of any significant loans, group of loans or segments of the loan portfolio
not included above, where full collectibility cannot reasonably be expected.
Management has committed resources and is focusing on efforts designed to
control the amount of classified assets. The company does not have a substantial
portion of its loans concentrated in one or a few industries nor does it have
any foreign loans outstanding as of June 30, 2003. The company's loans are
concentrated geographically in the Wisconsin counties of Racine, Walworth,
Kenosha, Lafayette and Green.

Investments securities - Available for Sale

The fair value of the securities available-for-sale portfolio decreased $595
thousand or .7% from December 31, 2002. For the purposes of this discussion,
changes in investment security balances are based on amortized costs. The
decrease came from three areas of the portfolio. The company purchased $10
million of U.S. Government Agency Discount Notes, $3.1 million of U.S.
mortgage-backed securities and $2.2 million of municipal securities. The company
had $6.0 million of U.S. Government Agency Discount Notes, $1 million of
municipal securities and $1 million of Commercial Paper mature. There were $1.1
million of municipal securities called.
<PAGE>

Deposits and Borrowed Funds

Total deposits and borrowed funds were $454.5 million on June 30, 2003 compared
to $465.6 million on December 31, 2002. This is a decrease of $11.1 million or
2.4%. The decrease is mainly due to seasonal fluctuations and apparent in Money
Market and Savings accounts. The following table summarizes the changes in the
major classifications of deposits and borrowed funds.

</TABLE>

Capital resources

As of June 30, 2003, the Company's stockholders' equity increased $3.0 million
or 6.2% from December 31, 2002. Net income of $3.0 million was the primary
reason for the increase. The company purchased and sold $66 thousand of treasury
stock during the first six months of 2003. Accumulated other comprehensive
income increased $625 thousand from $1.6 million to $2.1 million. Dividends paid
in June 2003 were $583 thousand.

In December 1990, the Federal Reserve Board's risk-based guidelines became
effective. Under these guidelines capital is measured against the Company's
subsidiary bank's risk-weighted assets. The Company's tier 1 capital (common
stockholders' equity less goodwill) to risk-weighted assets was 13.0% at June
30, 2003, well above the 4% minimum required. Total capital to risk-adjusted
assets was 14.2%, also well above the 8% minimum requirement. The leverage ratio
was at 9.6% compared to the 4% minimum requirement. According to FDIC capital
guidelines, the Company's subsidiary bank is considered to be "well
capitalized."

Asset/liability management

The principal function of asset/liability management is to manage the balance
sheet mix, maturities, repricing characteristics and pricing components to
provide an adequate and stable net interest margin with an acceptable level of
risk over time and through interest rate cycles.

Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those that are subject to
repricing within a specific relevant time horizon. The Bank measures
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, and their relationship with each
other at terms of immediate, quarterly intervals up to 1 year, and over 1 year.

Changes in net interest income, other than volume related, arise when interest
rates on assets reprice in a time frame or interest rate environment that is
different from the repricing period for liabilities. Changes in net interest
income also arise from changes in the mix of interest earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.

The Bank's strategy with respect to asset/liability management is to maximize
net interest income while limiting its exposure to a potential downward
movement. Strategy is implemented by the Bank's management, which takes action
based upon its analysis of the Bank's present positioning, its desired future
positioning, economic forecasts, and its goals. It is the Bank's desire to
maintain a cumulative GAP of positive or negative 15% of rate sensitive assets
at the 1-year time frame. The current percentage is a positive 24.4%, which
compares to a positive 20% as of December 31, 2002. Although these ratios are
outside the Bank's target range, the Bank's management feels the ratios are
appropriate at this time due to management's projection for future interest
rates.

Liquidity

Liquidity measures the ability of First Banking Center to meet maturing
obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit
levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customers' credit needs. One
source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing
deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which totaled $25.2 million at
June 30, 2003, compared with $33.7 million at December 31, 2002. The Bank has a
variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to it, including federal
funds purchased from correspondent banks, sales of securities available for
sale, FHLB advances, lines of credit and loan participations or sales. First
Banking Center also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and
prepayments made on its portfolio of loans and mortgage-backed securities.

The liquidity of First Banking Center is comprised of three primary
classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing
activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $3.7 million. Net cash provided by investing activities
was $4.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $11.7 million, for
the six months ended June 30, 2003.

For the six months ending June 30, 2002, net cash provided by operating
activities was $7.9 million. Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.3
million. Net cash used in financing activities was $20.5 million.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position
and operating results in terms of historical dollar amounts without considering
the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to
inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of First
Banking Center's operations. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of the
assets and liabilities of First Banking Center are monetary in nature. As a
result, interest rates have a greater impact on First Banking Center's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price
of goods and services.

Current Accounting Developments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement 149, "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging". This Statement amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities under Statement 133. The Statement is effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships
designated after June 30, 2003. Implementation of the Statement is not expected
to have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement 150, "Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities
and equity and requires that certain freestanding financial instruments be
reported as liabilities in the balance sheet. Depending on the type of financial
instrument, it is required to be accounted for at either fair value or the
present value of future cash flows determined at each balance sheet date with
the change in that value reported as interest expense in the income statement.
Prior to the application of Statement No. 150, either those financial
instruments were not required to be recognized, or if recognized were reported
in the balance sheet as equity and changes in the value of those instruments
were normally not recognized in net income. For the Company, the Statement is
effective July 1, 2003 and implementation is not expected to have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Results of operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees on loans
and interest expense, and is the largest contributing factor to net income for
the Company. All discussions of rate are on a tax-equivalent basis, which
accounts for income earned on nontaxable loans and securities that are not fully
subject to federal taxes. Net interest income was $10.6 million and $10.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Net interest margin as
a percentage of average earning assets (includes loans placed on nonaccrual
status) was 4.58% and 4.79% for the six months ended June 2003 and 2002.

The major component of interest income and fees on loans is the income generated
by loans. Interest income and fees on loans decreased due to decreased rates on
increasing average balances. The rates earned decreased from 7.14% to 6.57%.

As of June 30, 2003 average balances outstanding increased, however, rates paid
for liabilities decreased causing a decrease in interest expense. The major
components of interest expense are interest paid on Certificates of Deposit
(Time Deposits) and on Money Market Deposits. Interest expense on Time Deposits
decreased due to decreased rates paid on increasing average balances. The rates
paid decreased from 2.9% to 2.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and
2003 respectively. Interest expense on Money Market Deposits decreased as a
result of decreased rates on decreased average balances. The rates paid
decreased from 1.36% to .73%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003
respectively.

Non-interest income

Non-interest  income  decreased  $129 thousand or 6.7% as of June 30, 2003.  The
decrease was primarily a result of a decline in brokerage annuity sales.
Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense increased $654 thousand or 9.2% as of June 30, 2003.
Salaries and benefits accounted for $349 thousand of the increase. The increase
in salaries and benefits is due to normal wage increases and increased health
insurance costs as well as additional expenses due to the opening of a branch
and the acquisition of a branch during the second quarter. Occupancy expense
increased $88 thousand due primarily to increases in real estate taxes,
depreciation and utilities. Other expenses increased $314 thousand. Other
expenses also increased due to the opening of a branch and the acquisition of a
branch during the second quarter.


Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management believes the allowance for loan losses accounting policy is critical
to the portrayal and understanding of our financial condition and results of
operations. As such, selection and application of this "critical accounting
policy" involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to
change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail,
and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially
different financial condition or results or operations is a reasonable
likelihood.

Income Taxes

See Note 1 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2002 for our income tax accounting policy. Income tax
expense recorded in the consolidated income statement involves interpretation
and application of certain accounting pronouncements and federal and state tax
codes, and is, therefore, considered a critical accounting policy. We undergo
examinations by various regulatory taxing authorities. Such agencies may require
that changes in the amount of tax expense or valuation allowance be recognized
when their interpretations differ from those of management, based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
See Note 11 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2002 for more income tax information.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

First Banking Center, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct
and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest
rates. First Banking Center's net income is dependent on its net interest
income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree
that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than
interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice
more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant
increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income.

Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than
interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease
in net income.

In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management
monitors First Banking Center's interest rate risk. The Asset/Liability
Committee meets quarterly to review First Banking Center's interest rate risk
position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for
consideration by the Board of Directors. Management also reviews the Bank's
securities portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing
and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Board's
objectives in the most effective manner. Notwithstanding First Banking Center's
interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest
rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.

In adjusting First Banking Center's asset/liability position, the Board and
management attempt to manage First Banking Center's interest rate risk while
maintaining or enhancing net interest margins. At times, depending on the level
of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term
interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Board and
management may decide to increase First Banking Center's interest rate risk
position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin. First Banking
Center's results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to
increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between
long-term and short-term interest rates.

One approach used to quantify interest rate risk is the net portfolio value
("NPV") analysis. In essence, this analysis calculates the difference between
the present value of liabilities and the present value of expected cash flows
from assets and off-balance-sheet contracts. The most recent NPV analysis, as of
June 30, 2003, projects that net portfolio value would decrease by approximately
5.96% if interest rates would rise 200 basis points and would decrease by
approximately 2.96% if interest rates would rise 100 basis points over the next
year. It projects an increase in net portfolio value of approximately 8.45% if
interest rates would drop 200 basis points and an increase of approximately
3.27% if interest rates would drop 100 basis points. Both simulations are within
board-established policy limits. The Company has not experienced any material
changes to its market risk position since December 31, 2002, as disclosed in the
Company's 2002 Form 10K Annual Report. First Banking Center's policy is to limit
the effect of a 200 basis point rate shock to plus or minus 20% of projected net
interest income and to minus 35% of the market value of portfolio equity.

First Banking Center does not currently engage in trading activities or use
derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Even though such
activities may be permitted with the approval of the Board of Directors, First
Banking Center does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate
future.

Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting First Banking
Center. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk
and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of First Banking
Center's business activities.


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation, with
the participation of other members of management as they deemed appropriate, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures as contemplated by Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon,
and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries)
required to be included in the periodic reports the Company is required to file
and submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act.

There have been no significant changes to the Company's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
date that the internal controls were most recently evaluated. There were no
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified in that evaluation
and, therefore, no corrective actions were taken.

                                  June 30,2003

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First
Banking Center, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company"). In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operation and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
industry practice. Certain information in footnote disclosure normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and industry practice has
been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's December 31, 2002 audited financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NOTE 4 - Stock-based Compensation Plan:

For the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had one stock-based
key officer and employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for this plan
under the recognitions and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in the income, as all
options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to
stock-based employee compensation.

the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants on June 30, 2003 and
2002, respectively: dividend yield of 1.7 percent and 1.6 percent; expected
price volatility of 5.2 percent and 5.2 percent, blended risk-free interest
rates of 3.5 percent and 4.9 percent; and expected lives of 10 years,
respectively.
Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal
proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such
proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial statements.

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, financial
guarantees, and standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized on the consolidated
balance sheets.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of
those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and issuing letters of credit as they do for on-balance-sheet
instruments.

A summary of the contract or notional amount of the Company's exposure to
off-balance-sheet risk as of June 30 is as follows:
2003           2002
                                               -----------------------------
                                                  (Amounts in thousands)
Financial instruments whose contract
  amounts represent credit risk:
    Commitments to extend credit                  $ 72,874       $ 69,499
    Standby letters of credit                        2,341          3,851
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party.
Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.
The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon
extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable,
inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Credit card commitments are unsecured.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and,
generally, have terms of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. The Bank holds collateral, which may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, equipment, and income-producing properties,
supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does
not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third-party,
the Bank would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount
of future payments the Bank could be required to make is represented by the
contractual amount shown in the summary on the previous page. If the commitment
is funded the Bank would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At June
30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for
the Bank's potential obligations under these guarantees.

Note 6 - Recent Acquisitions

On April 11, 2003, the Company purchased $10.3 million of deposits from North
Shore Bank, FSB located in Walworth, Wisconsin, at a premium of 8% and
transferred the deposits to its existing Walworth branch. The Company also
acquired the branch building of North Shore Bank, FSB in this transaction at a
cost of $240 thousand and on June 16, 2003 disposed of the building for $240
thousand.

                       MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               As of June 30, 2003

The following discussion provides additional analysis of the financial condition
and results of operations of the Company for the three months ended June 30,
2003. This discussion focuses on the significant factors that affected the
Company's earnings so far in 2003, with comparisons to 2002. As of June 30,
2003, First Banking Center (the "Bank") was the only direct subsidiary of the
Company and its operations contributed nearly all of the revenue for the year.
The Company provides various support functions for the Bank and receives payment
from the Bank for these services. These intercompany payments are eliminated for
the purpose of these consolidated financial statements. The Bank has two wholly
owned subsidiaries, FBC Financial Services, Corp., a brokerage and financial
services subsidiary, and FBC-Burlington, Inc., an investment subsidiary located
in Nevada.

Overview

As of June 30, 2003, total Company assets were $509.7 million decreasing 1.6%
from $518.2 million as of December 31, 2002. Total income, for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, was $3.0 million or $2.02 per share, decreasing 8.5% from
$3.3 million or $2.24 per share in 2002. The significant items resulting in the
above-mentioned results are discussed below.

Financial Condition

Loans

Loans outstanding were $372.0 million and $372.1 million on June 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 respectively. This represents a decrease of $.1 million or
..05%. The following table summarizes the changes to date in the major loan
classifications.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses was $5.0 million or 1.35% of gross loans on June
30, 2003, compared with $5.0 million or 1.34% of gross loans on December 31,
2002. Net charge-offs were $47 thousand or .01% of gross loans and $6 thousand
or .002% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when
management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The
allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable credit losses relating
to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in
the balance of the loan portfolio. In accordance with FASB Statements 5 and 114,
the allowance is provided for losses that have been incurred as of the balance
sheet date. The allowance is based on past events and current economic
conditions, and does not include the effects of expected losses on specific
loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes
in economic conditions. Management reviews a calculation of the allowance for
loan losses on a quarterly basis. While management uses the best information
available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be
necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. Impaired
loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient,
at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. A loan is impaired when it is probable the company
will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in
accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for
loan losses. These agencies may require the bank to make additions to the
allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of collectibility based on
information available to them at the time of their examination.

For the six months ending June 30, 2003, $90 thousand was charged to current
earnings and added to the allowance for loan losses compared to $180 thousand
during the first six months of 2002. The bank charged less to earnings during
2003 versus 2002 because management determined the allowance was adequate
without additional provisions during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

Restructured Loans                                        0               0
The policy of the Company is to place a loan on non-accrual status if:

(a)  payment in full of interest and principal is not expected, or

(b)  principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more
     unless the obligation is both in the process of collection and well
     secured. Well secured is defined as collateral with sufficient market value
     to repay principal and all accrued interest. A debt is in the process of
     collection if collection of the debt is proceeding in due course either
     through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or in
     appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal
     action which are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or
     in its restoration to current status.

The non-accrual loans consisted primarily of $5.4 million of commercial real
estate loans, $1.7 million of residential real estate loans and $24 thousand of
commercial loans. On June 30, 2003, the ratio of non-accrual loans to the
allowance for loan losses was 141.9% compared to 40.4% on December 31, 2002. The
$5.4 million of non-accrual commercial loans consists primarily of two loans
which are in the process of collection. The company believes it has an adequate
allowance for any anticipated losses for these loans.

As of June 30, 2003, the Company had loans totaling $15.3 million in addition to
those listed as non-accrual, past due or restructured that were identified by
the Banks' internal asset rating systems as classified assets and loans which
management has determined require additional monitoring. This represents a
decrease of $8.8 million or 36.4% from December 31, 2002. Management is not
aware of any significant loans, group of loans or segments of the loan portfolio
not included above, where full collectibility cannot reasonably be expected.
Management has committed resources and is focusing on efforts designed to
control the amount of classified assets. The company does not have a substantial
portion of its loans concentrated in one or a few industries nor does it have
any foreign loans outstanding as of June 30, 2003. The company's loans are
concentrated geographically in the Wisconsin counties of Racine, Walworth,
Kenosha, Lafayette and Green.

Investments securities - Available for Sale

The fair value of the securities available-for-sale portfolio decreased $595
thousand or .7% from December 31, 2002. For the purposes of this discussion,
changes in investment security balances are based on amortized costs. The
decrease came from three areas of the portfolio. The company purchased $10
million of U.S. Government Agency Discount Notes, $3.1 million of U.S.
mortgage-backed securities and $2.2 million of municipal securities. The company
had $6.0 million of U.S. Government Agency Discount Notes, $1 million of
municipal securities and $1 million of Commercial Paper mature. There were $1.1
million of municipal securities called.
Deposits and Borrowed Funds

Total deposits and borrowed funds were $454.5 million on June 30, 2003 compared
to $465.6 million on December 31, 2002. This is a decrease of $11.1 million or
2.4%. The decrease is mainly due to seasonal fluctuations and apparent in Money
Market and Savings accounts. The following table summarizes the changes in the
major classifications of deposits and borrowed funds.

Capital resources

As of June 30, 2003, the Company's stockholders' equity increased $3.0 million
or 6.2% from December 31, 2002. Net income of $3.0 million was the primary
reason for the increase. The company purchased and sold $66 thousand of treasury
stock during the first six months of 2003. Accumulated other comprehensive
income increased $625 thousand from $1.6 million to $2.1 million. Dividends paid
in June 2003 were $583 thousand.

In December 1990, the Federal Reserve Board's risk-based guidelines became
effective. Under these guidelines capital is measured against the Company's
subsidiary bank's risk-weighted assets. The Company's tier 1 capital (common
stockholders' equity less goodwill) to risk-weighted assets was 13.0% at June
30, 2003, well above the 4% minimum required. Total capital to risk-adjusted
assets was 14.2%, also well above the 8% minimum requirement. The leverage ratio
was at 9.6% compared to the 4% minimum requirement. According to FDIC capital
guidelines, the Company's subsidiary bank is considered to be "well
capitalized."

Asset/liability management

The principal function of asset/liability management is to manage the balance
sheet mix, maturities, repricing characteristics and pricing components to
provide an adequate and stable net interest margin with an acceptable level of
risk over time and through interest rate cycles.

Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those that are subject to
repricing within a specific relevant time horizon. The Bank measures
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, and their relationship with each
other at terms of immediate, quarterly intervals up to 1 year, and over 1 year.

Changes in net interest income, other than volume related, arise when interest
rates on assets reprice in a time frame or interest rate environment that is
different from the repricing period for liabilities. Changes in net interest
income also arise from changes in the mix of interest earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.

The Bank's strategy with respect to asset/liability management is to maximize
net interest income while limiting its exposure to a potential downward
movement. Strategy is implemented by the Bank's management, which takes action
based upon its analysis of the Bank's present positioning, its desired future
positioning, economic forecasts, and its goals. It is the Bank's desire to
maintain a cumulative GAP of positive or negative 15% of rate sensitive assets
at the 1-year time frame. The current percentage is a positive 24.4%, which
compares to a positive 20% as of December 31, 2002. Although these ratios are
outside the Bank's target range, the Bank's management feels the ratios are
appropriate at this time due to management's projection for future interest
rates.
Liquidity

Liquidity measures the ability of First Banking Center to meet maturing
obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit
levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customers' credit needs. One
source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing
deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which totaled $25.2 million at
June 30, 2003, compared with $33.7 million at December 31, 2002. The Bank has a
variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to it, including federal
funds purchased from correspondent banks, sales of securities available for
sale, FHLB advances, lines of credit and loan participations or sales. First
Banking Center also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and
prepayments made on its portfolio of loans and mortgage-backed securities.

The liquidity of First Banking Center is comprised of three primary
classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing
activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $3.7 million. Net cash provided by investing activities
was $4.6 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $11.7 million, for
the six months ended June 30, 2003.

For the six months ending June 30, 2002, net cash provided by operating
activities was $7.9 million. Net cash provided by investing activities was $3.3
million. Net cash used in financing activities was $20.5 million.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position
and operating results in terms of historical dollar amounts without considering
the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to
inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of First
Banking Center's operations. Unlike industrial companies, nearly all of the
assets and liabilities of First Banking Center are monetary in nature. As a
result, interest rates have a greater impact on First Banking Center's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price
of goods and services.

Forward Looking  Statements- Safe Harbor Statement under the Private  Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. First Banking Center intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor
provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe First Banking Center's future plans, strategies and expectations
are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions. First Banking
Center's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or
strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse
affect on First Banking Center's operations and future prospects include, but
are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions,
legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve
Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand
for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in
our market area, our implementation of new technologies, First Banking Center's
ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems and
accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties
should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements.
Current Accounting Developments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement 149, "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging". This Statement amends and
clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities under Statement 133. The Statement is effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships
designated after June 30, 2003. Implementation of the Statement is not expected
to have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement 150, "Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities
and equity and requires that certain freestanding financial instruments be
reported as liabilities in the balance sheet. Depending on the type of financial
instrument, it is required to be accounted for at either fair value or the
present value of future cash flows determined at each balance sheet date with
the change in that value reported as interest expense in the income statement.
Prior to the application of Statement No. 150, either those financial
instruments were not required to be recognized, or if recognized were reported
in the balance sheet as equity and changes in the value of those instruments
were normally not recognized in net income. For the Company, the Statement is
effective July 1, 2003 and implementation is not expected to have a material
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Results of operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees on loans
and interest expense, and is the largest contributing factor to net income for
the Company. All discussions of rate are on a tax-equivalent basis, which
accounts for income earned on nontaxable loans and securities that are not fully
subject to federal taxes. Net interest income was $10.6 million and $10.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Net interest margin as
a percentage of average earning assets (includes loans placed on nonaccrual
status) was 4.58% and 4.79% for the six months ended June 2003 and 2002.

The major component of interest income and fees on loans is the income generated
by loans. Interest income and fees on loans decreased due to decreased rates on
increasing average balances. The rates earned decreased from 7.14% to 6.57%.

As of June 30, 2003 average balances outstanding increased, however, rates paid
for liabilities decreased causing a decrease in interest expense. The major
components of interest expense are interest paid on Certificates of Deposit
(Time Deposits) and on Money Market Deposits. Interest expense on Time Deposits
decreased due to decreased rates paid on increasing average balances. The rates
paid decreased from 2.9% to 2.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and
2003 respectively. Interest expense on Money Market Deposits decreased as a
result of decreased rates on decreased average balances. The rates paid
decreased from 1.36% to .73%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003
respectively.
The following table summarizes the changes and reasons for the changes in
interest earned and paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and
2002.

Non-interest income

Non-interest  income  decreased  $129 thousand or 6.7% as of June 30, 2003.  The
decrease was primarily a result of a decline in brokerage annuity sales.
Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense increased $654 thousand or 9.2% as of June 30, 2003.
Salaries and benefits accounted for $349 thousand of the increase. The increase
in salaries and benefits is due to normal wage increases and increased health
insurance costs as well as additional expenses due to the opening of a branch
and the acquisition of a branch during the second quarter. Occupancy expense
increased $88 thousand due primarily to increases in real estate taxes,
depreciation and utilities. Other expenses increased $314 thousand. Other
expenses also increased due to the opening of a branch and the acquisition of a
branch during the second quarter.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses

Management believes the allowance for loan losses accounting policy is critical
to the portrayal and understanding of our financial condition and results of
operations. As such, selection and application of this "critical accounting
policy" involves judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to
change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail,
and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially
different financial condition or results or operations is a reasonable
likelihood.

Income Taxes

See Note 1 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2002 for our income tax accounting policy. Income tax
expense recorded in the consolidated income statement involves interpretation
and application of certain accounting pronouncements and federal and state tax
codes, and is, therefore, considered a critical accounting policy. We undergo
examinations by various regulatory taxing authorities. Such agencies may require
that changes in the amount of tax expense or valuation allowance be recognized
when their interpretations differ from those of management, based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
See Note 11 of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2002 for more income tax information.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

First Banking Center, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct
and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest
rates. First Banking Center's net income is dependent on its net interest
income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree
that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than
interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice
more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant
increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income.

Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than
interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease
in net income.

In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management
monitors First Banking Center's interest rate risk. The Asset/Liability
Committee meets quarterly to review First Banking Center's interest rate risk
position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for
consideration by the Board of Directors. Management also reviews the Bank's
securities portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing
and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Board's
objectives in the most effective manner. Notwithstanding First Banking Center's
interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest
rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.

In adjusting First Banking Center's asset/liability position, the Board and
management attempt to manage First Banking Center's interest rate risk while
maintaining or enhancing net interest margins. At times, depending on the level
of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term
interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Board and
management may decide to increase First Banking Center's interest rate risk
position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin. First Banking
Center's results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to
increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between
long-term and short-term interest rates.

One approach used to quantify interest rate risk is the net portfolio value
("NPV") analysis. In essence, this analysis calculates the difference between
the present value of liabilities and the present value of expected cash flows
from assets and off-balance-sheet contracts. The most recent NPV analysis, as of
June 30, 2003, projects that net portfolio value would decrease by approximately
5.96% if interest rates would rise 200 basis points and would decrease by
approximately 2.96% if interest rates would rise 100 basis points over the next
year. It projects an increase in net portfolio value of approximately 8.45% if
interest rates would drop 200 basis points and an increase of approximately
3.27% if interest rates would drop 100 basis points. Both simulations are within
board-established policy limits. The Company has not experienced any material
changes to its market risk position since December 31, 2002, as disclosed in the
Company's 2002 Form 10K Annual Report. First Banking Center's policy is to limit
the effect of a 200 basis point rate shock to plus or minus 20% of projected net
interest income and to minus 35% of the market value of portfolio equity.

First Banking Center does not currently engage in trading activities or use
derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Even though such
activities may be permitted with the approval of the Board of Directors, First
Banking Center does not intend to engage in such activities in the immediate
future.

Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting First Banking
Center. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk
and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of First Banking
Center's business activities.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation, with
the participation of other members of management as they deemed appropriate, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures as contemplated by Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon,
and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries)
required to be included in the periodic reports the Company is required to file
and submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act.

There have been no significant changes to the Company's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
date that the internal controls were most recently evaluated. There were no
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified in that evaluation
and, therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
