1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1997 and 1996 include the consolidated results of
     operations of Valley Ridge Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") and its
     wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Ridge Bank (the "Bank").  These
     consolidated financial statements 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 accruals) that are necessary in order to make the
     financial statements not misleading and for a fair presentation of the
     results of operations for such periods.  The results for the period
     ended September 30, 1997 should not be considered as indicative of
     the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.  For
     further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
     footnotes included in the Corporation's annual report on Form 10-KSB
     for the year ended December 31, 1996.

                                                               -----------

                                                               $11,000,000
                                                               ===========
</TABLE>

    Each advance requires monthly interest payments at either fixed or
    adjustable rates.  The variable rate is based on the FHLB overnight
    rate and adjusts quarterly.  These borrowings are collateralized by
    nonspecific loans within the mortgage portfolio up to the principal
    outstanding.  The adjustable rate note has no prepayment penalties
    while the fixed rate notes carry a minimum prepayment penalty of
    $5,000.


4.  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
    496,089 shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended
    September 30, 1997, respectively, and 495,589 and 495,377 shares
    outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
    respectively.  All share amounts have been restated to reflect stock
    dividends and splits.

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").  This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Valley Ridge merged with Community Bank Corporation in 1996 in a business
combination accounted for in accordance with the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting and, accordingly, Valley Ridge's consolidated
financial statements have been restated for all periods presented.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME:  Valley Ridge reported net income of $399,512 or $0.81 per
share for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $355,481, or $.72 per share
for the same period in 1996.  Year to date net income was $1,102,675 or
$2.22 per share for 1997 compared to $970,079 or $1.96 per share for 1996.
The improvement was primarily a result of improved net interest income,
partially offset by increased noninterest expense.  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.

NET INTEREST INCOME:  Net interest income increased $97,235 or 6.9% to
$1,511,821 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 and $195,394
or 4.7% to $4,380,755 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997
compared to the same periods in 1996.  The increases in net interest income
are primarily attributable to increases in net loans of $9,241,869 or 11.1%
from September 30, 1996 to September 30, 1997.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES:  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.  The provision declined to $15,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $15,600 for the same
period in 1996 and declined to $75,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from $106,800 for the same period in 1996.   This decrease has
occurred as a result of management's assessment of the quality of loans in
Valley Ridge's portfolio and management's assessment of the allowance for
loan loss balance.  Net charge-offs were approximately $108,000 for the
third quarter of 1997 compared to net charge-offs of $128 for the same
period in 1996. Net charge-offs, year to date, were $139,701 as of September

30, 1997 compared to net charge-offs of $372 for 1996.  The increase in
charge-offs is due in part to a substantial increase in the installment
loan portfolio.  Management will continue to monitor the allowance for loan
losses and make additions to the allowance through the provision for loan
losses as economic conditions dictate.

NONINTEREST INCOME:  Noninterest income for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 was approximately $253,000 as compared to $281,000 for
the same period in 1996.  Noninterest income for nine months ended
September 30, 1997 declined to $774,160 from $812,977 at September 30,
1996.  The decreases in noninterest income for the three- and nine-month
periods in 1997 are primarily attributable to lower gains on loan sales due
to decreases in loan sale volume from 1996 to 1997.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE:  The decrease in noninterest income was coupled with
an increase in noninterest expense to approximately $1,245,000 and
$3,704,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively, compared to $1,211,000 and $3,602,000 for the same periods in
1996, respectively.  Salaries and benefits, including payments to certain
employees for early retirement, increased 7.9% from $572,956 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 to $618,310 for the same period in 1997 and
increased 8.6% from $1,727,208 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
to $1,876,322 for the same period in 1997.  The decrease in other expenses
from $1,420,145 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $1,398,444
for the same period in 1997 is due to legal and professional fees charged in
1996 related to the acquisition of Community Bank Corporation.


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Total assets increased approximately 10% or by $11.7 million to $127.3
million at September 30, 1997 compared to $115.6 million at December 31,
1996.  Total liabilities increased by 10.4% or $10.8 million to $114.4
million at September 30, 1997 compared to $103.6 million at December 31,
1996.  Total shareholders' equity increased by approximately $923,000 to
approximately $12,945,000 at September 30, 1997.  The increase in
shareholders' equity is primarily related to the retention of earnings after
dividend payouts as well as an increase in the unrealized gain on securities
available for sale.

                                      -12-

Total loans increased by approximately $9.2 million or 10.9% to $93.7
million.  A portion of the increase is due to the purchase of $3.5 million in
loans through the third quarter of 1997, in addition to a substantial increase
in the installment loan portfolio.  Deposits increased by approximately $7.2
million or 7.6% to $102.2 million.  The increase in deposits can be
attributed to a new CD product offered by the Bank, and increased
advertising due to the name change of the Bank after the consolidation with
The Grant State Bank in 1996.  The net loan to deposit ratio at September 30,
1997 has increased slightly to 90.5% from 87.7% as of December 31, 1996.  The
allowance for loan losses decreased by approximately $65,000 while maintaining
a reserve of 1.2% of outstanding loans.

Valley Ridge paid dividends of $297,653 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, compared to $275,411 paid during the same period in
1996.

Shareholders' equity as a percent of total assets was 10.2% at September
30, 1997 compared to 10.3% at December 31, 1996.  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
approximately $29 million at September 30, 1997 or about 22.8% of total
assets. Management believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient
to meet the normal operating needs of the Bank.

The principal source of funding for Valley Ridge continues to come from its
deposit customers.  As previously noted, deposits increased 7.6% during the
first nine months of 1997 and management believes its deposit base will
remain a stable source of funds for the remainder of 1997.

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 ("FHLB").
As of September 30, 1997, Valley Ridge had outstanding advances from the
FHLB totaling $11,000,000.
