Note A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------

     The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1996 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, 1996.  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 March 31, 1997 the securities in the
     "Available for Sale" category included $3,318,000 in unrealized losses.
     Accordingly, total securities and total stockholders' equity were decreased
     by $3,318,000 and $2,019,000 (net of taxes), respectively, at March 31,
     1997, 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 $870.2 million at March 31, 1997.

Note C - Floating Rate Capital Trust Pass-through Securities
- ------------------------------------------------------------  

     In March, 1997, the Company issued $49,875,000 in Floating Rate Capital
     Trust Pass-through Securities ("Capital Securities"). The proceeds of this
     issue are expected to be used by the Company for general corporate purposes
     and may be counted as Tier I capital.

Note D - Effect of FASB Statement No. 128
- -----------------------------------------  

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which is required to be adopted on 
     December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the
     method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all
     prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings
     per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The
     impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of primary earnings per share
     and fully diluted earnings per share for the first quarter ended March 31,
     1997 and March 31, 1996 is not expected to be material.

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.

    This Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference statements which may
constitute "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.  Prospective investors are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees for future performance and involve
risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from
those comtemplated by such forward-looking statements.  Important factors
currently known to management that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements include significant
fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, economic recession, significant
changes in the federal and state legal and regulatory environment, significant
underperformance in the Company's portfolio of outstanding loans, and
competition in the Company's markets.  The Company undertakes no obligation to
update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the
occurence of unanticipated events or changes to future results over time.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

    Following is a comparison of the March 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996,
consolidated balance sheets.  In the liability section, total deposits decreased
by $10 million or .3%, principally as a result of an $18 million or 5.2%
decrease in non-interest bearing deposits and a $6 million or 2.2% decrease in
money market checking accounts, reflecting normally higher year-end deposit
levels in these deposit categories.  Partially offsetting these decreases, money
market savings deposits increased $9 million or .9%, certificates of deposit
less than $100,000 increased $3 million or .4%, and certificates of deposit
$100,000 or more increased $3 million or .6%.

    Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
increased $118 million or 39.6% from year-end 1996 levels.  This category of
liabilities fluctuates with the availability of overnight funds purchased from
downstream correspondent banks.

    Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $34 million or 8.5% from 
December 31, 1996. This increase is principally the result of asset/liability
management decisions related to the current interest rate environment.

    Long-term debt increased $50 million, reflecting management's decision to
issue Floating Rate Capital Trust Pass-through Securities in March, 1997.  The
proceeds of this issue are expected to be used by the Company for general
corporate purposes and may be counted as Tier 1 capital.

    In the asset section, total gross loans increased by $83 million or 3.5%
compared to December 31, 1996 levels.  Commercial loans increased by $5 million
or 1.1% and real estate construction loans increased by $13 million or
reflecting current demand.  Consumer loans increased $22 million or 2.1%,
reflecting an increased emphasis on promoting indirect automobile loans.  Lease
financing loans increased $8 million or 36.0% due to the Company's recent
purchase of two leasing companies.

    Securities increased by $93 million or 6.1% from year-end 1996. Securities
held to maturity increased by $69 million or 8.5%, and securities available for
sale increased $24 million or 3.4%, reflecting current portfolio investment
strategies, and current market conditions.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
    Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell
decreased by $9 million or 66.1% from December 31, 1996 levels, reflecting less
excess funds that otherwise were not employed in loans or securities at 
March 31, 1997.
 
    Trading account securities increased by $14 million or 42.7% from year-end
1996 levels.  This increase reflects the trading activity generated by NBC
Capital Markets Group, Inc., the Company's broker/dealer subsidiary, which
fluctuates from time to time.

    Broker/dealer customer receivables increased $13 million or 112.1% and
payables increased $3 million or 262.1% reflecting levels of activity.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Three Months Ended March 31, 1997, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Net income was $15,115,000 for the first quarter of 1997, a 13.9% increase
over the $13,276,000 reported for the same period a year earlier.  Earnings per
share were $.30, compared to $.27 per share in 1996, up 11.1%.

    Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and
investments and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, increased by
$5,357,000 or 15.9% for the first quarter of 1997.  This increase reflects an
$11,918,000 or 17.4% increase in total interest income that more than offsets a
$6,561,000 or 18.8% increase in interest expense.  Interest income increased in
1997 due to an increase of $564,514,000 or 16.5% in total average earning
assets, and an increase in the yield on average earning assets from 8.07% in the
first quarter of 1996 to 8.19% in the first quarter of 1997.  The increased
volume of earning assets positively impacted interest income by approximately
$11,000,000, while the increased yield positively impacted interest income by
approximately $1,000,000. Interest expense increased in the first quarter of
1997, reflecting an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of
$562,420,000 or 19.0%, and an increase in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities from 4.74% to 4.77%.  The increase in the rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities had a minimal effect on interest expense, and the increase
in average outstandings negatively affected interest expense by approximately
$7,000,000.  The net interest margin (taxable equivalent net interest income as
a percentage of average earning assets) was 3.97% in first quarter 1997,
compared to 3.96% in first quarter of 1996.

    The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 1997 was $3,454,000,
versus $2,842,000 for the first quarter of 1996.  Net charge-offs were
$2,554,000, or .43% of average loans compared to $1,628,000 or .33% of average
loans in 1996.  The increased provision was due to possible losses on current
loan growth.  The allowance for loan losses totaled $36,739,000 at March 31,
1997, representing 1.51% of quarter-end net loans, compared to $30,224,000 or
1.52% of quarter-end net loans at March 31, 1996.

    Following is a comparison of non-earning assets and loans past due 90 days
or more for the quarters ended March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, and March 31,
1996 (dollars in thousands):

    Non-interest income, excluding securities transactions, totaled $17,596,000
for the quarter, an increase of $2,665,000, or 17.8%, from last year's first
quarter.  The Company's broker/dealer revenue decreased $1,075,000 versus first
quarter 1996, reflecting current market conditions.  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
$3,740,000 or 33.0%.  Securities losses totaled $1,000 in first quarter 1997,
compared to securities gains of $25,000 in 1996.

    Non-interest expenses (excluding the provision for loan losses) increased by
$4,533,000 or 18.6 in first quarter, 1997, primarily reflecting increased
employment and other expenses relating to new products and locations and
increased promotional expenses of new loan and deposit gathering campaigns.

    The Company's return on average assets and return on average equity were
1.44% and 19.02% respectively, for first quarter of 1997.  These compared with
1996 first quarter returns of 1.47% and 18.14%, respectively.


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 increased by $12,041 from December 31,
1996.  Retained earnings accounted for the majority of the increase.  Through
March 31, 1997, 1,028,428 shares had been repurchased and cancelled under a
stock repurchase program initiated in January, 1996.

    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 March 31, 1997.
