                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Valley Ridge
     Financial Corp. ("Corporation") as of September 30, 1996 and for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 have been
     prepared in accordance with the Instructions for Form 10-QSB and Item
     310(b) of Regulation S-B and do not include all disclosures required
     by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete
     presentation of the Corporation's financial condition and results of
     operations.  In the opinion of management, the information reflects
     all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
     which are necessary in order to make the financial statements not
     misleading and for a fair presentation of the results of operations
     for such periods.  All financial statement amounts included herein,
     except cash dividends per share, have been restated to account for the
     acquisition of Community Bank Corporation on July 1, 1996 by the
     pooling-of-interests method of accounting. The results for the three-
     and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 should not be
     considered as indicative of results for the year ending December 31,
     1996.


2.   ACQUISITION

     In September of 1995, the Corporation announced that it had signed a
     definitive agreement to merge with Community Bank Corporation, parent
     company of The Grant State Bank. A Registration Statement on Form S-4
     for this transaction was filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission (Registration Statement No. 333-00724) and was declared
     effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 1996.
     The shareholders of both the Corporation and Community Bank
     Corporation voted to approve the transaction on June 25, 1996.  The
     transaction was consummated on July 1, 1996, structured as a tax-free
     exchange and accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of
     accounting.  Valley Ridge Financial Corp. issued 121,727 shares of
     common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of
     Community Bank Corporation common stock.

3.   SECURITIES

     The Corporation classifies all securities into an available-for-sale
     category.  Available-for-sale securities are those the Corporation may
     decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or
     other reasons.  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair
     value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate
     component of equity, net of tax.

     The Corporation's portfolio of securities available-for-sale consists
     of securities acquired to meet the Corporation's regulatory liquidity
     requirements and anticipated near term cash funding requirements. 
     Investments in this portfolio are primarily obligations of states and
     political subdivisions.

     The amortized cost and fair values of securities at September 30, 1996
     were as follows:

                                                               ----------

                                                               $5,000,000
                                                               ==========
</TABLE>

    Each advance requires monthly interest payments at fixed rates.  These
    borrowings are collateralized by nonspecific loans within the mortgage
    portfolio up to the principal amount of advances outstanding.  The fixed
    rate notes carry a minimum prepayment penalty of $5,000.

7.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:

    Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted-average
    number of shares outstanding.  Earnings per share amounts are based on
    495,589 and 495,377 shares outstanding for the three and nine months
    ended September 30, 1996, respectively, and 494,589 and 494,497 shares
    outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
    respectively.  All share amounts have been restated to reflect stock
    dividends and splits.


8.  STOCK SPLITS

    On January 26, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one
    split of the Corporation's common stock effected in the form of a
    stock dividend.  The stated par value of each share was not changed
    from $10.  All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to
    reflect this stock split.


9.  LOAN SERVICING RIGHTS

    In May of 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 122, ACCOUNTING
    FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS, to require that a mortgage-banking
    enterprise recognize, as separate assets, acquired rights to service
    mortgage loans for others.  A mortgage banking enterprise that
    acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or
    origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes those loans
    with servicing rights retained should allocate the total cost of the
    mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans (without
    the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values if
    it is practicable to estimate those fair values.  If it is not
    practicable to estimate the fair values of the mortgage servicing
    rights and the mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing rights),
    the entire cost of purchasing or originating the loans should be
    allocated to the mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing

9.  LOAN SERVICING RIGHTS (Continued)

    rights) and no cost should be allocated to the mortgage servicing
    rights.

    This Statement requires that a mortgage-banking enterprise assess its
    capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair
    value of those rights.  A mortgage-banking enterprise should stratify
    its mortgage servicing rights that are capitalized after the adoption
    of this Statement based on one or more of the predominant risk
    characteristics of the underlying loans.  Impairment should be
    recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum.

    The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 122 on January 1, 1996.  The impact
    of adopting SFAS No. 122 has not been material to the Corporation.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the
consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Valley Ridge
Financial Corp. ("Valley Ridge") for the periods presented in the financial
statements filed as part of this report.  This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:  Valley Ridge reported net income of $355,481 or
$.72 per share for the third quarter of 1996. This was 19% lower than the
$441,554, or $.89 per share, earned in the third quarter of 1995.

For the first nine months of 1996, Valley Ridge reported net income of
$970,079 or $1.96 per share, a 4% decrease from the $1,007,472 or $2.04 per
share for the same period in 1995.  The decrease in the third quarter of
1996 as well as for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was primarily
a result of increased other expenses, partially offset by improved net
interest income.  Net interest income, before the provision for loan
losses, of $1,414,586 for the third quarter of 1996, was approximately 2%
higher than the $1,389,573 reported for the same period in 1995.  Net
interest income, before the provision for loan losses, of $4,185,361 for
the first nine months of 1996, was approximately 4% higher than the
$4,020,090 reported for the same period in 1995.

Net charge-offs were $128 and $372 for the third quarter and the first nine
months of 1996, respectively, compared to net charge-offs of $38,838 and
$23,896 for the third quarter and the first nine months of 1995,
respectively.  The provision for loan losses was $15,600 and $106,800 for
the third quarter and the first nine months of 1996, respectively, compared
to $20,600 and $106,800 for the same periods in 1995.  The provision for
loan losses represents the adjustment to the allowance for loan losses
needed to maintain the allowance at a level determined by management to
cover inherent losses within Valley Ridge's loan portfolio.

Noninterest income was $280,958 and $812,977 for the third quarter and the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $245,547
and $696,505 for the same periods in 1995.  The increase for both the third
quarter as well as the first nine months of 1996 was primarily a result of
increased service charges on deposit accounts and increased investment
center income during 1996 compared to 1995.  However, the increase in
noninterest income was more than offset by an increase in noninterest
expense to $1,211,165 and $3,602,140 for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1996, respectively, compared to $1,060,594 and
$3,300,740 for the same periods in 1995.  This was primarily due to an
increase in legal and accounting fees related to the merger with Community
Bank Corporation.  There was a significant drop in FDIC insurance premium
costs from approximately $98,000 during 1995 to $4,000 during 1996.

Management is not aware of any existing trends, events, uncertainties or
current recommendations by regulatory authorities that are expected to have
a material impact on Valley Ridge's future operating results.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:  Total assets
decreased by slightly less than 1% or $790,575 to $113,549,322 at
September 30, 1996 compared to $114,339,897 at December 31, 1995.  Total
liabilities decreased by slightly more than 1% or $1,263,099 to
$101,884,314 at September 30, 1996 compared to $103,147,413 at December 31,
1995.  Total shareholders' equity increased by $472,524 to $11,665,008 at
September 30, 1996.  The increase in shareholders' equity is due to
retention of earnings and sales of stock to the employee stock ownership
plan, partially offset by a decline in the unrealized gain on securities
available for sale.

Total loans increased by slightly less than 1% or $486,679 from the balance
at December 31, 1995 to $81,964,813 at September 30, 1996.  Deposits
decreased by $3,466,524 or 3.6% to $92,844,395 at September 30, 1996.  The
overall impact of these two changes was an increase in the net loan to
deposit ratio to 87% at September 30, 1996 compared to 83.4% at
December 31, 1995.  The allowance for loan losses increased by $106,429
causing the ratio of reserves to outstanding loans to increase from 1.36%
at December 31, 1995 to 1.48% at September 30, 1996.

Valley Ridge paid dividends totaling $275,411 in the first nine months of
1996, compared to $250,472 paid during the same period in 1995.  Cash
dividends per share in 1996 have been adjusted for the 2 for 1 stock split
paid in the first quarter of 1995.

Shareholders' equity as a percent of total assets was 10.27% at September
30, 1996 compared to 9.79% at December 31, 1995.  Valley Ridge's capital
ratios continue to exceed the minimum regulatory levels prescribed by the
Federal Reserve Board. 

Total cash and cash equivalents and investment securities totaled
$27,024,121 at September 30, 1996 or about 24% of total assets.  Management
believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet the
normal operating needs of Valley Ridge.

The principal source of funding for Valley Ridge continues to come from its
deposit customers, which have historically been a stable source of funds. 
Other sources of funding include normal loan repayments, sales and
maturities of securities, federal funds available from correspondent banks,
and additional advances available from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally mature within one
to three days from the transaction date.  Kent City State Bank has pledged

certain investment securities, which are held in safekeeping, as collateral
against these borrowings.  Kent City State Bank did not participate in
repurchase agreements during 1995.

In September of 1995, the Corporation announced that it had signed a
definitive agreement to merge with Community Bank Corporation, parent
company of The Grant State Bank. A Registration Statement on Form S-4 for
this transaction was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(Registration Statement No. 333-00724) and was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 1996.  The shareholders of
both the Corporation and Community Bank Corporation voted to approve the
transaction on June 25, 1996.  The transaction was consummated on July 1,
1996, structured as a tax-free exchange and accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting.  Valley Ridge Financial Corp.
issued 121,727 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the
outstanding shares of Community Bank Corporation common stock.
