     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
    have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted
    Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information
    and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
    Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
    information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete
    financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
    adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been
    included.  The results of operations and other data for the
    three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
    indicative of results that may be expected for the entire
    fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.

    The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
    amounts of CNS Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-
    owned subsidiary, City National Savings Bank, FSB (the "Saving
    Bank") and the Savings Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Parity
    Insurance Agency, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, City
    National Real Estate, Inc., for the three months ended March
    31, 1997.  Material intercompany accounts and transactions
    have been eliminated in consolidation.

(2) Conversion to Stock Ownership

    On December 19, 1995 the Board of Directors of the Savings
    Bank unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion pursuant to
    which the Savings Bank converted from a federally chartered
    mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings
    bank, with the concurrent formation of the Company.  The
    Company, on June 11, 1996, sold 1,653,125 shares of common
    stock at $10.00 per share to depositors, borrowers and
    employees of the Savings Bank in a subscription offering.  The
    proceeds from the conversion, after recognizing conversion
    expenses and underwriting costs of $531,424 were $15,999,826
    and are recorded as common stock and additional paid in
    capital on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement
    of financial condition.  The Company utilized 50% of the net
    proceeds to purchase all of the capital stock of the Savings
    Bank.

    The Savings Bank has established for eligible employees an
    Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") in connection with the
    conversion.  The ESOP borrowed $1,322,500 from the Company and
    purchased 132,250 common shares issued in the conversion.  The
    Savings Bank is expected to make scheduled discretionary cash
    contributions to the ESOP sufficient to service the amount
    borrowed.  The $1,322,500 in stock issued by the Company is
    reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial
    statements as a charge to unearned compensation and a credit
    to common stock and paid-in capital.  The unamortized balance
    of unearned compensation is shown as a deduction of
    stockholders' equity.  The unpaid balance of the ESOP loan is
    eliminated in consolidation.

(3) Earnings Per Share

    Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997
    have been calculated to be $.15 based upon the weighted
    average number of shares outstanding during the quarter. 

(4) Subsequent Event(s):

    On April 8, 1997 the Company announced a stock repurchase    
    program under which it will acquire up to 5%, or approximately 
    82,656 shares, of the corporation's outstanding common
    stock.

    At the annual meeting, April 22, 1997, the shareholders       
    approved  and adopted the CNS Bancorp, Inc. 1997 Stock Option 
    Plan and the CNS Bancorp, Inc. Management Recognition and    
    Development Plan.<PAGE>

              Management Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operation

General

On June 11, 1996, City National Savings Bank, FSB (Savings Bank)
converted from mutual to stock form and became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of a newly formed Delaware holding company, CNS Bancorp,
Inc. (Company).  The Company sold 1,653,125 shares of common stock
at $10 per share in conjunction with a subscription offering to the
Savings Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and eligible
account holders. 

The Company's principal business is the business of the Savings
Bank.  Therefore, the discussion in the Managements's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
relates to the Savings Bank and its operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Savings Banks's principal sources of funds are cash receipts
from deposits, loan repayments by borrowers and net earnings.  The
Savings Bank has an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Des Moines to provide cash advances, should the need for additional
funds be required.

For regulatory purposes, liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash
and certain investments to withdrawable deposits.  The minimum
level of liquidity required by regulation is presently 5%.  The
Savings Bank's liquidity ratio was approximately 19.67% at March
31, 1997.

Commitments to originate adjustable-rate mortgage loans at March
31, 1997 were approximately $684,000.  Commitments to originate
fixed-rate mortgage loans at March 31, 1997 were approximately
$195,000.

The thrift industry historically has accepted interest rate risk as
a part of its operating philosophy.  Long-term, fixed-rate loans
were funded with deposits which adjust to market interest rates
more frequently.  From the early 1980's up until 1996, the Savings
Bank has originated primarily adjustable-rate mortgage loans for
it's loan portfolio.  In early 1996 the Savings Bank began keeping
some of the fixed rate loans it originates.  As of March 31, 1997
the Savings Bank held adjustable-rate mortgage loans of $46.2
million or 74.91% of the total mortgage loans.

The Savings Bank is required to meet certain tangible, core and
risk-based capital requirements.
The following table presents the Savings Bank's capital position

Financial Condition 

Assets increased from $97.5 million at December 31, 1996 to $98.1
million at March 31, 1997.  Cash and due from depository
institutions increased from $4.6 million at December 31, 1996 to
$6.1 million at March 31, 1997 due to the reinvestment of funds
from government securities into shorter term FHLB time
certificates.  Securities available-for-sale decreased from $27.6
million at December 31, 1996 to $26 million at March 31, 1997. 
Loans held-for-sale and loans receivable, net increased from $61.6
million at December 31, 1996 to $62.3 million due primarily to the
favorable interest rate environment during the period.  Accrued
interest receivable decreased slightly during the quarter. 
Deposits increased from $72.9 million at December 31, 1996 to $73.3
million at March 31, 1997.  Accrued interest on deposits and
advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance increased during
the first quarter of 1997. 
 
It is the policy of the Savings Bank to cease accruing interest on
loans 90 days or more past due.  Nonaccrual loans decreased from
$310,000 at December 31, 1996 to $94,000 at March 31, 1997 as a
result of the loans being paid current.

                      Results of Operations

Net earnings increased from $134,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $231,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1997.  The primary reason for the increase in net earnings during
the current quarter was an increase in net interest income.       
       
Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased from $545,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 to $850,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997.  Total interest income increased from $1.5 million in the
first quarter of 1996 to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1997. 
The increase in total interest income is due primarily to increases
in interest income from mortgage loans, consumer and other loans
and investment securities which was partially offset by decreases
in interest income from mortgage-backed securities and other
interest earnings assets.  The increases in interest income from
loans and securities is a result of higher average balances, which
reflects the investment of stock proceeds, and higher average
yields in those assets during the first quarter of 1997 compared to
the same time period last year.  Total interest expense decreased
from $946,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $892,000
for the same time period in 1997.  The decrease in interest expense
is primarily due to a decrease in the average deposit balance
outstanding during the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same
time period last year.                

Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for loan losses is based upon management's consideration
of economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to
repay the loans.   Management also reviews individual loans for
which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured and
considers, among other matters, the risks inherent in the Savings
Bank's portfolio and the estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral.  This evaluation is ongoing and results in variations
in the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses.  As a result of
this evaluation, the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses
decreased from a ($5,000) recapture of loan losses for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to a ($27,000) recapture of loan losses
for the three months ended March 31, 1997. 

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased from $71,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 to $52,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997.  The primary reason that noninterest income decreased
during the first quarter of 1997 was the decrease in income from
real estate owned.  The Savings Bank sold real estate owned during
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and there was no such
activity during 1997.

Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense increased from $433,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 to $544,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997.  The increase in noninterest expense during the first
quarter of 1997 is due to increases in compensation and benefits
and other noninterest expense and is partially offset by a decrease
in deposit insurance.  The increase in compensation and benefits is
due primarily to the recognition of ESOP compensation during the
first quarter of 1997 when there was no ESOP compensation for the
first quarter of 1996.  Other noninterest expenses increased
primarily due to first time expenses resulting from operating as a
public company.  The decrease in deposit insurance premiums is a
result of lower insurance premiums this year compared to the same
time period last year.      

Income Taxes     

Income taxes increased from $54,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $154,000 for the same time period in 1997. The
effective income tax rates used to calculate the provision for
income taxes is 40%.  A lower rate was applicable last year due
primarily to non-taxable income which included gains on sale of
real estate owned.<PAGE>
