Note A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
     The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1995 has been derived from
     the audited financial statements at that date. The accompanying unaudited
     interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
     (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion
     of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
     interim periods presented. The statements should be read in conjunction
     with the summary of accounting policies and notes to consolidated financial
     statements included in the Registrant's annual report for the year ended
     December 31, 1995. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
     included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with the
     rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note B - Securities Portfolio
- -----------------------------
     In accordance with FAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
     and Equity Securities", as of June 30, 1996 the securities in the
     "Available for Sale" category included $3.3 million in unrealized losses.
     Accordingly, total securities and total stockholders' equity were decreased
     by $3.3 million and $2.0 million (net of taxes), respectively, at June 30,
     1996, to reflect the adjustment of the securities portfolio to market. The
     calculation of book value per share reflects these mark-to-market
     unrealized losses, whereas the calculation of ROA and ROE do not, because
     the unrealized losses are not included in net income. The fair value of the
     "Held to Maturity" category was $804.0 million at June 30, 1996.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this discussion is to focus on important factors affecting the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.  Reference should be
made to the consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) for
an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.  In this discussion,
net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable
equivalent basis.  All per share data is adjusted to reflect all stock dividends
and stock splits declared through June 30, 1996.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
    Following is a comparison of the June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995,
consolidated balance sheets.  In the liability section, total deposits increased
by $66 million or 2.6%, principally as a result of a $53 million or 11.3%
increase in certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more, reflecting current
market trends and a $50 million or 6.8% increase in money market savings
deposits, reflecting new deposit gathering campaigns.  Partially offsetting
these increases, money market checking accounts decreased $14 million or 5.0%,
savings deposits decreased $6 million or 7.0%, and non-interest-bearing deposit
accounts decreased $19 million or 5.6% reflecting higher year-end non-interest-
bearing deposit levels.

    Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
decreased $6 million or 1.4% from year-end 1995 levels.  This category of
liabilities fluctuates with the availability of overnight funds purchased from
downstream correspondent banks.

    Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $126 million or 33.8% from
December 31, 1995.  This increase is principally the result of asset/liability
management decisions related to the current interest rate environment.

    In the asset section, total gross loans increased by $201 million or 10.4%
compared to December 31, 1995 levels.  Commercial loans increased by $27 million
or 6.8%, real estate construction loans increased by $14 million or 11.5%, and
real estate mortgage loans increased $31 million or 6.0%, reflecting current
demand. Consumer loans increased $131 million or 15.1%, reflecting an increased
emphasis on promoting indirect automobile loans.

    Securities increased by $160 million or 12.5% from year-end 1995. Securities
held to maturity increased by $61 million or 8.0%, and securities available for
sale increased $99 million or 19.2%, reflecting current portfolio investment
strategies, and current market conditions.

    Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell
decreased by $205 million or 90.3% from December 31, 1995 levels, reflecting
less excess funds that otherwise were not employed in loans or securities at
June 30, 1996.
 
    Trading account securities increased by $15 million or 76.4% from year-end
1995 levels.  This decrease reflects the trading activity generated by Commerce
Investment Corporation, the Company's broker/dealer subsidiary, which fluctuates
from time to time.

    Broker/dealer customer receivables increased $3 million and payables
increased $4 million reflecting levels of activity.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Net income was $13,763,000 for the second quarter of 1996, a 16.0% increase
over the $11,863,000 reported for the same period a year earlier.  Earnings per
share were $.55, compared to $.47 per share in 1995, up 17.0%.

    Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and
investments and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, increased by
$5,277,000 or 17.7% for the second quarter of 1996.  This increase reflects a
$13,223,000 or 22.6% increase in total interest income that more than offsets a
$7,946,000 or 27.7% increase in interest expense.  Interest income increased in
1996 due to an increase of $774,214,000 or 27.8% in total average earning
assets, which more than offset a decrease in the yield on average earning assets
from 8.44% in the second quarter of 1995 to 8.12% in the second quarter of 1996.
The increased volume of earning assets positively impacted interest income by
approximately $16,000,000, while the decreased yield negatively impacted
interest income by approximately $2,800,000.  Interest expense increased in the
second quarter of 1996, reflecting an increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities of $735,550,000 or 31.0%, partially offset by a decrease in the rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 4.84% to 4.74%.  The decrease in the
rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities positively affected interest expense
by approximately $800,000, and the increase in average outstandings negatively
affected interest expense by approximately $8,800,000.  The net interest margin
(taxable equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average earning
assets) was 3.98% in second quarter 1996, compared to 4.31% in second quarter of
1995.

    The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 1996 was $4,453,000,
versus $1,685,000 for the second quarter of 1995.  Net charge-offs were
$1,799,000, or .35% of average loans compared to $951,000 or .23% of average
loans in 1995.  The increased provision was due to possible losses on current
loan growth.  The allowance for loan losses totaled $32,475,000 at June 30,
1996, representing 1.52% of quarter-end net loans, compared to $25,580,000 or
1.49% of quarter-end net loans at June 30, 1995.

    Following is a comparison of non-earning assets and loans past due 90 days
or more for the quarters ended June 30 1996, March 31, 1996, and June 30, 1995
(dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>

    Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, totaled $19,118,000
for the quarter, an increase of $4,688,000, or 32.5%, from last year's second
quarter.  The Company's broker/dealer revenue increased $525,000 versus second
quarter, 1995, reflecting current market conditions.  Also included in non-
interest income was a pre-tax gain of $2.9 million on the sale of certain
assets, primarily loans, of the Company's Commerce Finance subsidiary.  All
other sources of non-interest income, including service charge income, trust
service income, fuel card processing income, and supermarket sublicense income
increased a net of $2,331,000 or 20.2%.  Securities losses totaled $257,000 in
second quarter, 1996, compared to

$115,000 in securities gains in 1995.

    Non-interest expenses (excluding the provision for loan losses) increased by
$3,670,000 or 15.5% in second quarter, 1996, primarily reflecting increased
employment and occupancy expenses relating to new products and locations and
increased promotional expenses of new loan and deposit gathering campaigns,
partially offset by a reduction in FDIC premiums.

    The Company's return on average assets and return on average equity were
1.47% and 18.89% respectively, for second quarter of 1996.  These compared with
1995 second quarter returns of 1.61% and 17.72%, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net income totaled $27,309,000, a
17.1% increase over the $23,083,000 for the first six months of 1995.  Earnings
per share were $1.08, compared to $.92 for the same period in 1995, a 17.4%
increase. For the six-month period, return on average assets and return on
average stockholders' equity were $1.47% and 18.51% respectively.  These
compared with 1995 six month returns of 1.55% and 17.52%.

    Net interest income increased by $9,626,000 or 16.3% for the first six
months of 1996.  This increase reflects a $24,460,000 or 21.1% increase in total
interest income that more than offsets a $14,834,000 or 26.2% increase in
interest expense. Interest income increased in 1996 due to an increase of
$684,975,000 or 24.4% in total average earning assets, partially offset by a
decrease in the yield on average earning assets from 8.34% in 1995 to 8.09% in
1996.  The increased volume of earning assets positively impacted interest
income by approximately $28,700,000, while the decreased yield negatively
impacted interest income by approximately $4,300,000. Interest expense increased
in the first six months of 1996, reflecting an increase in average interest-
bearing liabilities of $630,419,000 or 26.2%, partially offset by a decrease in
the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 4.76% to 4.74%.  The decrease in
the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted interest
expense by approximately $300,000, and the increase in average outstandings
negatively impacted interest expense by approximately $15,100,000.  The net
interest margin was 3.97% in the first six months of 1996, compared to 4.26% in
the first six months of 1995.

    The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 1996 was
$7,295,000, versus $3,393,000 for the first six months of 1995.  Net charge-offs
were $3,427,000, compared to $2,123,000 in 1995.

    Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, totaled $34,049,000
for the first six months of 1996, compared to a total of $26,885,000 for the
first six months of 1995, an increase of 26.6%.  The Company's broker-dealer
revenue increased $1,166,000 or 24.4%, reflecting current market conditions.
Other sources of non-interest income, including service charge income, trust
service income, fuel card processing income, supermarket sublicence income, and
the previously mentioned gain on the sale of certain assets, primarily loans, of
the Company's Commerce Finance Company subsidiary, increased a net of $5,998,000
or 27.1%. Securities losses totaled $232,000 in 1996, compared to $168,000 in
securities gains in 1995.

    Non-interest expenses (excluding the provision for loan losses) increased by
$6,027,000 or 13.2% for the first six months of 1996.  Increased employment and
occupancy expenses relating to new products and locations, and increased
promotional expenses of new loan and deposit gathering campaigns, partially
offset by lower FDIC insurance premiums, were the primary reasons for the
increase.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
    Interest-bearing bank balances, federal funds sold, trading account
securities, and securities available for sale are the principal sources of
short-term asset liquidity.  Other sources of short-term liquidity include
federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements, credit lines with other
banks, and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan
Bank.  Maturing loans and securities are the principal sources of long-term
asset liquidity.

    Total realized stockholders' equity decreased by $165,000 from December 31,
1995.  Retained earnings increased a total of $16,390,000.  Offsetting this
increase was the effect of a stock repurchase program initiated in January,
1996.  Through June 30, 1996, 840,408 shares had been repurchased and cancelled
under the program at a cost of $24,181,000.  This decrease in shares outstanding
was partially offset by the issue of 235,059 shares through the exercise of
stock options and 129,908 shares issued in exchange for the remaining stock of
TransPlatinum Service Corp.

    The following capital ratios do not include the effect of FAS No. 115 on
Tier I capital, total capital, or total risk-weighted assets.

    As indicated in the following table, the Company and its banking
subsidiaries exceeded all minimum required capital ratios for well-capitalized
institutions at the indicated dates.
