                     STATEMENT OF APPRAISER'S INDEPENDENCE
                            HEARTLAND COMMUNITY BANK
                                CAMDEN, ARKANSAS

         We are the appraiser for Heartland Community Bank in connection with
its mutual to stock conversion. We are submitting our independent estimate of
the pro forma market value of the Bank's stock to be issued in the conversion.
In connection with our appraisal of the Bank's to-be-issued stock, we have
received a fee which was not related to the estimated final value.  The
estimated pro forma market value is solely the opinion of our company and it
was not unduly influenced by the Bank, its conversion counsel, its selling
agent, or any other party connected with the conversion.  We also received a
fixed fee for assisting the Bank in connection with the preparation of its
business plan to be submitted with the conversion application.

         Heartland Community Bank has agreed to indemnify Ferguson & Co., LLP
under certain circumstances against liabilities arising out of our services.
Specifically, we are indemnified against liabilities arising from our appraisal
except to the extent such liabilities are determined to have arisen because of
our negligence or willful conduct.

                                     Ferguson & Co., LLP

Board of Directors
Heartland Community Bank
237 Jackson Street, SW
Camden, Arkansas

Dear Directors:

         We have completed and hereby provide, as of December 20, 1996, an
independent appraisal of the estimated pro forma market value of Heartland
Community Bank ("Heartland Bank" or the "Bank"), Camden, Arkansas, in
connection with the conversion of Heartland Bank from the mutual form to the
stock form of organization ("Conversion").  This appraisal report is furnished
pursuant to the regulatory filing of the Bank's Application for Conversion
("Form AC") with the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS").

         Ferguson & Co., LLP ("F&C") is a consulting firm that specializes in
providing financial, economic, and regulatory services to financial
institutions.  The background and experience of F&C is presented in Exhibit I.
We believe that, except for the fees we will receive for preparing the
appraisal and assisting with Heartland Bank's business plan, we are
independent.  F&C personnel are prohibited from owning stock in conversion
clients for a period of at least one year after conversion.

         In preparing our appraisal, we have reviewed Heartland Bank's
Application for Approval of Conversion, including the Proxy Statement as filed
with the OTS.  We conducted an analysis of Heartland Bank that included
discussions with Gaunt & Co., Ltd., the Bank's independent auditors, and with
Housley Kantarian & Bronstein, P.C., the Bank's conversion counsel.  In
addition, where appropriate, we considered information based on other available
published sources that we believe is reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the
accuracy or completeness of such information.

         We also reviewed the economy in Heartland Bank's primary market area
and compared the Bank's financial condition and operating results with that of
selected publicly traded thrift institutions. We reviewed conditions in the
securities markets in general and in the market for thrifts stocks in
particular.

         Our appraisal is based on Heartland Bank's representation that the
information contained in the Form AC and additional evidence furnished to us by
the Bank and its independent auditors are truthful, accurate, and complete.  We
did not independently verify the financial statements and other information
provided by Heartland Bank and its auditors, nor did we independently value the
Bank's assets or liabilities.  The valuation considers Heartland Bank only as a
going concern and should not be considered an indication of its liquidation
value.

Board of Directors

Page 2



         It is our opinion that, as of December 20, 1996, the estimated pro
forma market value of Heartland Bank was $20,000,000, or 2,000,000 shares at
$10.00 per share.  The resultant valuation range was $17,000,000 at the minimum
(1,700,000 shares at $10.00 per share) to $23,000,000 at the maximum (2,300,000
shares at $10.00 per share), based on a range of 15 percent below and above the
midpoint valuation.  The supermaximum was $26,450,000 (2,645,000 shares at
$10.00 per share).

         Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a
recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of
common stock in the conversion.  Moreover, because such valuation is
necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of
which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that
persons who purchase shares of common stock in the conversion will thereafter
be able to sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing estimate of the
Bank's pro forma market value.  F&C is not a seller of securities within the
meaning of any federal or state securities laws and any report prepared by F&C
shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or
sale of any securities.

         Our opinion is based on circumstances as of the date hereof, including
current conditions in the United States securities markets.  Events occurring
after the date hereof, including, but not limited to, changes affecting the
United States securities markets and subsequent results of operations of
Heartland Bank, could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this
appraisal.

         The valuation reported herein will be updated as provided in the OTS
conversion regulations and guidelines.  All updates will consider, among other
things, any developments or changes in Heartland Bank's financial performance
and condition, management policies, and current conditions in the equity
markets for thrift shares.  Should any such new developments or changes be
material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares, appropriate
adjustments will be made to the estimated pro forma market value.  The reasons
for any such adjustments will be explained in detail at the time.

                                        Respectfully,
                                        FERGUSON & CO., LLP

                                  INTRODUCTION

         Heartland Community Bank, ("Heartland Bank" or "Bank") is a federally
chartered, federally insured mutual savings and loan bank located in Camden
(Ouachita County), Arkansas.  It was chartered in 1934 as First Federal Savings
and Loan Association of Camden, Camden, Arkansas.  Its name was changed to
Heartland Community Bank Savings and Loan Association in 1996.  It obtained
federal insurance of accounts in 1934 and joined the Federal Home Loan Bank
system the same year.  On November 21, 1996, it adopted a plan to convert to a
stock savings and loan association, via a standard mutual to stock conversion.

         At September 30, 1996, Heartland Community Bank had total assets of
$172.9 million, net loans of $89.3 million, mortgage-backed securities of $54.8
million, investment securities of $16.7 million, deposits of $147.2 million,
borrowings of $10 million and net worth of $13.5 million, or 7.79% of assets.

         The Bank has seven offices located in five counties, Ouachita, Dallas,
Grant, Pulaski, and Drew.  In addition, the Bank also has market penetration in
three additional counties, Cleveland, Saline and Calhoun.  The eight counties
are contiguous and are located in the south central portion of Arkansas.
Arkansas is one of the West South Central states of the United States.  It is
bounded on the north and northeast by Missouri, on the east by Tennessee and
Mississippi, on the south by Louisiana, on the southwest by Texas, and on the
west by Oklahoma.  The Mississippi River forms virtually the entire eastern
boundary.  Little Rock is the capital and the state's largest city.  Arkansas
is rich in mineral resources, chiefly petroleum, natural gas, and bauxite.  By
most standards, Arkansas is one of the poorest states in the United States.
Although the trend in personal income is up, the real personal income of the
state was 22% below that of the United States in 1995.(1)

         Heartland Community Bank is a traditional thrift with a slight
orientation toward loans.  It invests primarily in:  (1) 1-4 family loans and,
to a lesser extent, in multifamily, commercial real estate, construction loans,
commercial non-real estate loans, and consumer loans; (2) mortgage backed
securities; (3) United States government and agency securities; and (4)
temporary cash investments.  It is funded principally by savings deposits,
borrowings, and existing net worth.  It has utilized borrowings as an alternate
funding source.

         The Bank offers a variety of loan products to accommodate its customer
base, and single family loans dominate the Bank's loan portfolio.  In recent
years, Heartland Community Bank has concentrated its lending on one year ARM's
and 15 year fixed rate single family loans.  At September 30, 1996, gross loans
on 1-4 family dwellings made up 34.84% of total assets and 67.51% of the loan
portfolio.  Mortgage backed securities made up 31.71% of total assets.
Investment securities made up 9.65% of Heartland Community Bank's assets at
September 30, 1996.

         Heartland Community Bank had $990.3 thousand in non-performing assets
at September 30, 1996 (1.09% of total assets), as compared to $1.02 million at
June 30, 1996 (1.20% of total assets).  In real dollars, non-performing assets
are up from the $672.6 thousand at June 30, 1995, and the $464.9 thousand at
June 30, 1994.  However, expressed as a percentage of assets there is
improvement.  Non-performing assets were 1.23% of total assets at June 30,
1995, and .87% of total assets at June 30, 1994.

         Savings deposits increased during the four year and three month period
from June 30, 1992, to September 30, 1996, by $42.87 million.  The majority of
this increase can be attributed to the purchase of another financial
institution in 1996.  Between June 30, 1992 and June 30, 1995 the deposits grew
from $104.3 million to $112 million.  This growth trend is the result of
deliberate actions on the part of Management.  In 1996, Management began to
seek alternative funding sources in order to improve spreads and reduce
interest rate risk  Heartland Community Bank has relied extensively on
borrowings during recent years.  At September 30, 1996, advances from FHLB were
$10 million and have been at that level since.

         The Bank's capital to assets ratio has shown steady growth.  Equity
capital, as a percentage of assets, has increased from 8.78% at June 30, 1992,
to 11.24% at June 30, 1995.  After acquiring another financial institution in
1996, the capital ratio dropped to 8.31% (above the "well capitalized" level)
in June of 1996.  By September 30, 1996, the capital ratio was down to 7.79%.
The decrease was due mainly to asset growth and recognition of need for
additional provisions for loan losses in the newly acquired subsidiary.
Nevertheless, capital levels remain ample.  This capital position was a result
of consistent earnings combined with steady growth.  Capital in dollars has
increased from $10.138 million to $13.478 million, which is a 32.95% increase.

         Heartland Community Bank's profitability, as measured by return on
average assets ("ROAA"), was above its peer group average of thrifts filing
TFR's with the OTS, consisting of OTS supervised thrifts with assets from $100
million to $500 million, with the exception of the first two quarters of 1996.
For the years ending December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995, and the quarter ended
June 30, 1996, Heartland Community Bank ranked in the 63rd, 79th, 57th, and 3rd
percentile, respectively, in ROAA.  In return on equity for the same periods,
Heartland Community Bank ranked in the 49th, 79th, 57th, and 4th percentile,
respectively.(2)  The two quarters of 1996 reflect a "cleaning up" of the
operation, in preparation for conversion (see Exhibit III).

                         I.  FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS

PAST & PROJECTED ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

         Fluctuations in thrift earnings in recent years have occurred within
the time frames as a result of changing temporary trends in interest rates and
other economic factors.  However, the year-to-year results have been upward
while the general trends in the thrift industry have been improving as interest
rates declined.  Interest rates began a general upward movement during late
1993, followed by a decline in interest margins and profitability.  Rates began
a general decline in mid 1995.  Since early 1996, rates have moved in a narrow
band.  From mid-March until early June there was a slight upward trend, with
the spread between the short end and the long end increasing.  Early July saw
the jobless rate dip, and responding to inflation fears, the rates rose
slightly.  In late July Greenspan's comments sparked a rise in the Dow-Jones,
but rates remained steady.  Mid-August's report on the rising CPI caused a
slight increase in rates, but they remained within the narrow band.  The recent
pass by the Federal Reserve to raise rates should provide stability in rates
and the equities market.  The S&P 500 Index increased more than 14% in the
first 10 months of 1996.  Toward the end of the year there were some periods of
adjustment, but equities and the S&P have rebounded nicely.  This increase was
on top of a sizable gain in 1995.(3)  The general rise in the equity market has
translated into overall gains in the thrift equity market.  These factors,
coupled with the circumstances of having fewer conversions in 1996, have had
some dramatic results in the thrift equities market.  There is little evidence
that market conditions will change in the near future.  The number of
"conversion stock speculators" has grown as thrift and bank acquisitions have
continued.  The hope of a quick profit has many speculative dollars chasing
fewer good conversion opportunities.

         The thrift industry generally is better equipped to cope with changing
interest rates than it was in the past, and investors have recognized the
demonstrated ability of the thrift industry to maintain interest margins in
spite of rising interest rates.  However, the industry is still a long lender
and for the most part a short borrower.  Periods of gradually rising interest
rates can be readily managed, but periods of rapidly rising rates and interest
rate spikes can negate, to a certain degree, the positive impact of adjustable
rate loans and investments.

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF INSTITUTION

BALANCE SHEET TRENDS

         As Table I.1 shows, Heartland Community Bank demonstrated a modest
increase in assets during the three year period between June 30, 1992, and June
30, 1995.  Assets increased $11.5 million, or 9.97% during that period.  The
acquisition of a subsidiary in 1996 caused a significant increase in asset
size, from $127.0 million at June 30, 1995, to $171.2 million at June 30, 1996,
and finally increasing to $172.9 million at September 30, 1996.  Loans
increased $4.4 million, or 8.7% between June 30, 1992, and June 30, 1995.
After the acquisition, loans were $84.6 million and $89.3 million at June 30,
1996, and September 30, 1996, respectively.  Cash and cash equivalents have
remained relatively constant, fluctuating between $3 million and $3.7 million
between June 30, 1992, and September 30, 1996, with one notable exception.
That exception was at June 30, 1996,

the cash and cash equivalents increased to $17.3 million.  However, by
September 30, 1996, they went back down to $3.7 million.  The majority of the
cash and cash equivalents held at June 30, 1996, were used to purchase
investment securities, which were $5.3 million at June 30, 1996, and $16.7
million at September 30, 1996.  Mortgage backed securities have always been a
major portion of earning assets of the Bank.  MBS's were $58.5 million at June
30, 1992, $66.8 million for 1993, $64.1 million in 1994, $63.4 million in 1995,
$57.4 million in 1996, and $54.8 million at September 30, 1996.  The most
notable difference in the portfolio is that $12.2 million of the MBS's are
available for sale at September 30, 1996.  Prior to that, $6.1 million were
held for sale at June 30, 1995, and $12.2 million were in the same category at
June 30, 1996.

         Equity accounts increased steadily from $10.1 million at June 30,
1992, to $14.2 million at June 30, 1996.  However in the quarter ending
September 30, 1996, equity declined to $13.5 million.  The decline was mainly
due to additional provisions to the reserve for loan and lease losses.
Internal comparisons of equity using the percentage of asset calculation are
not comparable due to the acquisition.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

         Managing interest rate risk is a major and necessary component of the
strategy used in operating a thrift.  Most of a thrift's interest earning
assets are long term, while most of the interest bearing liabilities have short
to intermediate terms to contractual maturity.  To compensate, asset/liability
management techniques include:  (1) making long term loans with interest rates
that adjust to market periodically, (2) investing in assets with shorter terms
to maturity, (3) lengthening the terms to maturities of savings deposits, and
(4) seeking to employ any combination of the aforementioned techniques
artificially through the use of synthetic hedge instruments.  Table I.4
contains information on contractual loan maturities at June 30, 1996.  However,
this table must be read in conjunction with Table I.5.  Table I.5 shows the gap
analysis of Heartland Community Bank's interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities at June 30, 1996.  It shows that, within one year of June
30, 1996, Heartland Community Bank has a negative gap to interest bearing
liabilities of 55.0% and a negative gap to total assets of 31.96%.  Heartland
Community Bank has a positive cumulative gap at the end of five years of $7.1
million, which lowers the cumulative gap to total assets to a negative 27.84%.
There is further improvement in the gap at the end of 10 years, but from a
practical stand point, these improvements would not have significant positive
impact on the current interest rate risk position.  Table I.6 provides rate
shock information at varying levels of interest rate change and confirms the
conclusions derived from Table I.5 in regard to the interest rate sensitivity
of Heartland Bank.

         The Bank has major interest rate risk and would suffer deterioration
in profitability as well an erosion in the value of its portfolio equity.  The
preparation of the gap analysis (Table I.5) was approached in a normal manner.
The following assumptions were used:  1) monthly amortizing fixed rate loans
were assumed to repay at contractual amortization; 2) adjustable rate loans and
investments were included in the time period in which they are scheduled to
reprice; 3) checking accounts and statement savings were assumed to reprice in
the earliest period available; and 4) certificates of deposit and borrowings
were included in the period of contractual maturity.

         Heartland Community Bank's basic approach to interest rate risk
management has been to emphasize adjustable mortgage loans and intermediate
term mortgage-backed securities, shorten fixed rate mortgage terms (no fixed
rate loans beyond 15 years maturity are retained in the portfolio), increase
consumer and commercial non-real estate loans, and increase investments in
short and intermediate term investment securities.  In addition, Heartland
Community Bank has

used FHLB advances since 1995.  These advances have served to lengthen the
maturities of the liabilities.  In addition, these advances are secured and not
as likely to be called.  As of September 30, 1996, Heartland Bank had $10.1
million in advances for the FHLB; on the other hand, it had only $11.2 million
in jumbo certificates.  The results of this funding strategy, combined with
other actions, have been to produce an asset/liability position that is less
sensitive to rate changes.  However, the remaining risk is significant and the
corrective measures are generally ones that require shortening the maturities
of assets, along with the lowering of earnings.

INCOME AND EXPENSE TRENDS

        Heartland Community Bank was profitable for the four fiscal years
ending June 30, 1996.  However, the three months ending September 30, 1996,
reflect a net operating loss of $843 thousand.  Losses during that period were
due primarily to increased provisions for loan losses.  In other periods, the
principal reason for income fluctuations can be traced directly to:  (1)
changes in non-interest income, and (2) reductions in net interest margins (see
Table I.2).  Although losses were incurred in the quarter ending September 30,
1996, and profitability was disappointing at year end June 30, 1996, the
ability to generate core earnings is still intact.  As mentioned earlier, net
interest margins have suffered some erosion, but the basic earnings capacity of
the Bank remains.  However, the anticipated infusion of capital and the
expected increase in earning assets should show positive results.

        Non-interest income levels have remained constant with the exception of
1996, when a significant loss on the sale of assets was recorded. 
Non-interest expense items have also been stable with the exception of 1996,
when there was an increase of approximately 45%.  However, analytically
speaking, profitability is stable and sustainable, at some level.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

        As Table I.7 demonstrates, Heartland Community Bank meets all
regulatory capital requirements and meets the regulatory definition of a
"Well Capitalized" institution.  Moreover, the additional capital raised in the
stock conversion will add to the existing capital cushion.

LENDING

        Table I.8 provides an analysis of the Bank's loan portfolio by type of
loan and security.  This analysis shows that, from June 30, 1992, through June
30, 1996, plus the quarter ending September 30, 1996, Heartland Community
Bank's loan composition has been dominated by 1-4 family dwelling loans. 
However, there is a noticeable upward trend in the non-residential loans.  This
trend is consistent with recent changes in business strategies.  Also
corresponding to the changes in business strategy is the notable increase in
the consumer portfolio

        Table I.9 provides information with respect to loan origination's and
repayments.  It indicates the year ended June 30, 1996, and the quarter ending
September 30, 1996, will be considered good growth periods overall and in most
individual categories.  Closer analysis reveals the continued emphasis on one
to four residential loans.  "Other Mortgage Loans" and "Consumer Loans" both
show significant growth.

        Table I.10 provides rates, yields, and average balances for the three
months  ended September 30, 1996, compared with the three months ending
September 30, 1995.  Net yield on average interest-earning assets increased
from 7.45% in 1995 to 7.54% in 1996.  Interest rates paid on average
interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.27% in 1995 to 5.26% in 1996. 
The net yield on interest earning assets increased from 2.18% in 1995 to 2.28%
in 1996. Heartland Community Bank's spread increased from 2.18% in 1995 to
2.28% in 1996.  However, the ratio of average interest earning assets to
average interest bearing liabilities decreased from 111.18% in 1995 to 105.26%
in 1996. The deterioration of this ratio is reflected in overall profitability.

     Table I.11 provides a rate volume analysis, measuring differences in
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and the interest rates
thereon comparing the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, and also comparing the
year ending June 30, 1994 with June 30, 1995.  The table shows that of the $261
thousand increase in income between 1994 and 1995, $167.3 thousand can be
attributed to volume and $93.6 thousand can be attributed to rate.  The reversal
of the former is shown in the 1995 - 1996 comparison, where income decreased
$165.7 thousand.  This was a net result in a $681.8 thousand increase in income
due to volume, and a $847.5 thousand decrease due to rates.  Rate volume
calculations are never used as a predictor of interest rate risk, but the rate
sensitivity of an institution can be seen in the comparisons as the increasing
rates in the deposit portfolio overwhelmed the volume increases and rate changes
in the loan portfolio.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

     As shown in Table I.12, Heartland Community Bank's total non-performing
loans as of September 30, 1996, were $990.3 thousand and represented 1.09% of
total loans.  Most of the non-performing loans as of that date were secured. 
The level of non-performing assets is lower than the level of June 30, 1996,
$1.02 million.  Although the dollar amount is increasing, the non-performing

LOAN LOSS ALLOWANCE

     Table I.13 provides an analysis of the allocation of Heartland Community
Bank's loan loss allowance.  Significant increases to the loan loss reserves
were made at September 30, 1996.  These increases in loan loss reserves were not
dictated by historical or anticipated losses, but instead were adjustments made
following an internal audit of the Bank's subsidiary.
     
     Table I.14 shows the allocation of the loan loss allowance among the
various loan categories as of the quarter ending September 30, 1996, and years
ending June 30, 1996, June 30, 1995, and June 30, 1994.

MORTGAGE BACKED SECURITIES CONT'D

        Mortgage backed securities have been used by Management to supplement a
limited demand for both "fixed rate" and "adjustable rate" loan products.
Competitive factors within the primary trade area of the Bank have made
expansion of the one to four residential portfolio difficult.  Management has
committed a significant portion of Bank's assets to MBS's.  They have taken a
conservative stance, and as of September 30, 1996, have classified $12.2
million of the MBS's as "Available for Sale," and $16.7 million of Investment
Securities as "Available for Sale."  The remaining portfolio, $42.6 million has
been classified as "Held to Maturity."

SAVINGS DEPOSITS

        At June 30, 1996, Heartland Community Bank's deposit portfolio was      
composed as follows:  total transaction type accounts--$25.7 million or 16.07%;
savings deposits and passbook account--$7.7 million, 5.26% and certificate
accounts--$115.8 million or 78.67% (see Table I.17 above).

        Table I.18 displayed below shows the totals of time deposits and the
maturities by year with rate ranges at the quarter ending September 30, 1996,   
and the years ending June 30, 1996, June 30, 1994, and June 30, 1994.  The rate
section of Table I.18 clearly shows the rising cost of funds for the
institution.  However, the changes between June 30, 1996, and September 30,
1996, reflects positive changes in the rate structure.  However, the recent
acquisition has undoubtedly had some impact on the deposit structure, but it is
too early to tell.  At September 30, 1996, $74.4 million or 64.24% of Heartland
Community Bank's certificates matured within one year.  This dependency on short
term certificates has added to the interest rate risk of the institution.

        Heartland Community Bank is not dependent on jumbo certificates of
deposit. At September 30, 1996, the Bank had $11.1 million in certificates that
were issued for $100 thousand or more, or 7.59% of its total deposits (see

        Table I.20 presents information on deposit flows for the years ending   
June 30, 1995 and 1996.  The most notable thing about the Bank's deposit flows
is the lack of deposit growth when viewed in relation to asset growth.  This
dichotomy is the result of Management's decision to fund asset growth with
advances from the FHLB rather than increase interest rates and interest
expense.

BORROWINGS

        At September 30, 1996, Heartland Community Bank had FHLB advances of    
$10.0 million.  One half, or $5.0 million, were due in less than five years,
and the remaining $5.0 million were due in less than 10 years.  At September
30, 1996, the former bore interest at the rate of 6.21% and the latter at
6.24%.  The current position in advances is the result of Management's decision
to fund asset growth with advances rather than increase overall deposit
interest expense.

SUBSIDIARIES

        Heartland Community Bank has one subsidiary savings bank which has been
consolidated with the financial information reported herein.  The subsidiary
savings bank was purchased in May 1996 for approximately $3.5 million and
resulted in goodwill of approximately $1.26 million, which is to be amortized
over 10 years.  In addition, the Bank has one subsidiary service corporation
which was formed to acquire real properties that could be used for future
expansion.  At September 30, 1996, the Bank's investment in the service
corporation was $357 thousand.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        From time to time, Heartland Community Bank becomes involved in legal
proceedings principally related to the enforcement of its security interest in
real estate loans.  In the opinion of Management of the Bank, no legal
proceedings are in process or pending that would have a material effect on
Heartland Community Bank's financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity.

EARNINGS CAPACITY OF THE INSTITUTION

        As in any interest sensitive industry, the future earnings capacity of
Heartland Community Bank will be affected by the interest rate environment.
Historically, the thrift industry has performed at less profitable levels in
periods of rising interest rates.  This performance is due principally to the
general composition of the assets and the limited repricing opportunities
afforded even the adjustable rate loans.  The converse earnings situation
(falling rates) does not afford the same degree of profitability potential for
thrifts due to the tendency of borrowers to refinance both high rate loans,
fixed rate loans, and adjustable loans as rates decline.

        Heartland Community Bank is no exception to the aforementioned  
paradox.  With its current asset and liability structure, however, the effect
of rising interest rates will have negative impact on earnings due to the
current amount of interest rate risk.  However, recent management strategies
and changes in asset composition, if completed, will mitigate a portion of the
negative effects of rising rates.

        The addition of capital through the conversion will allow Heartland
Community Bank to grow.  As growth is attained, the leverage of that new
capital should, from a ratio of expenses to total assets standpoint, reduce the
operating expense ratio.  However, growth and additional leverage will likely
be moderate and well controlled to maintain the current acceptable risk levels
inherent in the Bank's asset base.

ASSET-SIZE-EFFICIENCY OF ASSET UTILIZATION

        At its current size and in its current asset configuration, Heartland
Community Bank is an efficient operation.  With total assets of approximately
$173 million, Heartland Community

Bank has 62 full time equivalent employees.  However, if current strategies are
employed, the asset and liability composition of the institution will change
and become more volume oriented.  With the onset of additional volumes and with
the expansion of the branch network creating logistic problems, it is logical
to conclude that the current low employee to asset ratio will increase.

INTANGIBLE VALUES

        Heartland Community Bank's greatest intangible value (other than the
goodwill discussed earlier) lies in its loyal deposit base.  Heartland
Community Bank has a 63 year history of sound operations, controlled growth,
and generally consistent earnings.  The Bank currently has 2.37% of the deposit
market in its area, and it has the ability to increase market share (see Table
II.3 in Section II).

        Heartland Community Bank has no significant intangible values that      
could be attributed to unrecognized asset gains on investments and real estate.

EFFECT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

        Although still considered a traditional thrift, Heartland Community     
Bank has emphasized more passive investments (MBS's) during the recent years. 
With its current efforts to increase loans as a percentage of deposits, the
Bank's loan mix is expected to continue to change.  Government regulations will
have the greatest impact in the area of cost of compliance and reporting.  The
conversion will create an additional layer of regulations and reporting and
thereby increase the cost to the Bank.  Moreover, no future plans currently
exist to make additional acquisitions, purchase additional branches, or
complicate operations with matters that would add to reporting and regulatory
compliance.  However, economic situations change, and if an appropriate
opportunity arises, it will be considered and a proper request will be made of
the regulators, if necessary.

OFFICE FACILITIES

        Heartland Community Bank's main office is an adequately maintained      
facility.  Table I.22 provides information on all of Heartland Community Bank's

DEMOGRAPHICS

         Heartland Bank operates from its main office located at 237 Jackson
Street, Southwest, Camden, Arkansas.  The Bank has three branch offices.  One
is in Camden, one in Fordyce and one in Sheridan, Arkansas.  Heartland Bank's
subsidiary, Heritage FSB, operates from an office in Little Rock and has a
branch in Monticello, Arkansas.  In addition to the branches, the subsidiary
has a loan production office located in Bryant, Arkansas.

         Heartland Bank has determined that its principal trade area is Pulaski
County, Ouachita County, Dallas County, Grant County, and Drew County.  These
are the counties in which the Bank has branches.  In addition to these, the
Bank also has economic influence in Saline County, Cleveland County, and
Calhoun County.  In combination, these eight counties comprise the principal
assessment area for the institution.  Undoubtedly, some market penetration has
been made in counties contiguous to the delineated counties, creating a sizable
trade area.  Tables II.1 and II.1a presents historical and projected trends for
the United States, Arkansas, and all of the counties heretofore mentioned.  The
information provided addresses population, income, employment, and housing
trends.

         As indicated in Tables II.1 and II.1a, the counties have experienced
varying growth rates, in terms of population.  Some are well above that of the
United States and the State of Arkansas, (which is slightly below that of the
United States), and some are well below.  Five of the eight counties had
population increases between 1990 and 1996.  They are:  Pulaski (0.61%), Grant
(9.06%), Drew (4.04%), Saline (18.17), and Cleveland (4.94%).  All of the
counties showing population increases from 1990 to 1996 are estimating growth
between 1996 and 2001.  The estimated population growth rates are 0.51% for
Pulaski, 6.66% for Grant, 3.10% for Drew, 12.30% for Saline, and 3.75% for
Cleveland.  In general, these counties compare well to the 6.67% and 6.94%
growth rates for the United States and Arkansas, respectively.  They also
compare favorably in terms of anticipated growth when compared to the 5.09%
anticipated in the United States and the 5.48% anticipated in the State of
Arkansas.

         The counties in the assessment area that have experienced declines in
population between 1990 and 1996 are Ouachita (7.76%), Dallas (1.38%), and
Calhoun (0.12%).  Going forward to the year 2001, these counties are also
estimating continued declines.  They are:  Ouachita 2.80%, Dallas 1.09%, and
Calhoun 0.10%.

         When viewed in aggregate, the population trends of the assessment area
are good.  The past gains and the anticipated gains in population will handily
offset the areas of decline.

         Arkansas is not one of the more affluent states, and the comparison of
household income demonstrates that fact.  The estimated household income for
the United States for 1996 was $34,530, and that of Arkansas was $26,272.
Comparing the 1996 estimated household income of the assessment area counties
to the state, we find that three counties were below the state with estimated
incomes of $21,204, $24,238, and $25,658.  They were Dallas, Drew, and
Cleveland,

<PAGE>   41

respectively.  However, five of the eight counties had estimated household
incomes that exceeded that of the state.  They were Pulaski ($33,294), Ouachita
($26, 769), Grant ($26,166), Saline ($35,818), and Calhoun ($28,183).  Going
forward to 2001, the same pattern is developing in estimated household income
as developed in population trends.  Those that are above the state in 1996 are
expected to be above the state in 2001, and those that are below are expected
to be below in 2001, with one notable exception -- Cleveland County is
estimated to increase its household income to a level that would exceed that of
the State of Arkansas ($27,909 vs. $27,040).

         In the area of Household Income Distribution estimates for 2001, the
distribution shows the traditional rural bias.  All but two of the counties,
Pulaski and Saline, will have a larger portion of their population making less
than $15,000 than will the population of the United States.  The State of
Arkansas reflects the lower level bias as well.  When looking at the upper
levels of income distribution, Pulaski and Saline also exceed that of the
state, while all the other counties have a lower percentage of their population
making in excess of $100,000.  These results are not unexpected, and when
comparing the mid-level incomes in the assessment area to that of the state,
there is evidence of real economic growth and stability in the area.

         Important to any financial institution that is in the business of
financing homes is the growth in the number of households.  Tables II.1 and
II.1a show that the prospects for the establishment of new households in the
trade area is excellent.  From 1990 until 1996, five of the counties in the
trade area experienced an increase in the number of households (Pulaski, Grant,
Drew, Saline, and Cleveland).  In addition all of those counties are estimating
continued growth in households between 1996 and 2001.  Two of the three
counties that experienced a drop in the number of households were the least
populated counties in the area.  The exception was Ouachita County which
experienced an 8.03% drop in the number of households and is estimating a
further decrease of 2.90% between 1996 and 2001.

         When home ownership is compared to the Unites States, three out of the
eight counties in the trade area have a higher incidence of home ownership than
the United States, and the remainder compare favorably.

         In summary, the demographics of the assessment area are very
favorable.  The area has and is expected to have an overall growth in
population.  This growth in population is being accompanied with an anticipated
increase in household income that is creating a more stable per capita income
and an anticipated increase in the number of new households that will be
created.  These factors, coupled with a strong tradition of home ownership in
the area, should translate into an increased number of housing units being
built and a good market for previously owned housing.  In addition, the modest
level of Average Housing Value presents ample opportunity for affordable
housing in the market area for both the first time home buyer and the other
market participants.

         The principal sources of employment in Heartland Bank's trade area are
shown in Table II.2.  The major sources are trade and services:  Manufacturing,
Services, and Government.  All but two of the counties in the delineated trade
area exceed the state in the percentage of residents who are employed in
manufacturing.  Three of the counties compare favorably to the state in the
percentage of employment attributed to services.  Five of the counties in the
area show

significantly more employment in government than does the State of Arkansas.
However, Pulaski County is the seat of the State Government.

         This information gives rise to understanding the other demographic
information.  With manufacturing services and government employing such high
percentages of the population and contributing to the earnings of the
citizenry, the concentration of incomes in the middle range is more clear as is
the estimated increase in household incomes.  Obviously, the assessment area of
Heartland Bank is better employed than the state average.  This should equate
to continued economic growth which should translate into more home buyers, more
consumer goods being purchased, and a growing and robust economy.

         Based on information publicly available on deposits as of June 30,
1995 (see Table II.3), the eight county area in which Heartland Bank, or its
subsidiary, has branches had $5.364 billion in total deposits.  Banks
controlled $4.677 billion, credit unions $356.1 million, and other thrifts
$203.7 million.  As of that date, Heartland Bank had 2.37% of the total deposit
market or $127.0 million.  The inclusion of Pulaski County, the county of the
state capital and the major banking center of the state, causes the impact of
Heartland Bank to be understated.  Adjusting the numbers for Pulaski County, we
find that Heartland has 9.51% of the deposit base in the assessment area
outside of Pulaski County.

         The Bank is a major player in many of the markets that are located
within their delineated market area.  The statistics reveal success and
opportunities for the institution.  Additional capital infused by the
Conversion will assist the Bank in becoming more competitive.

         Growth opportunities for Heartland Bank can be assessed by reviewing
economic factors in its market area.  The salient factors include growth
trends, economic trends, and competition from other financial institutions.  We
have reviewed these factors to assess the potential for the market area.  In
assessing the growth potential of Heartland Bank, we must also assess the
willingness and flexibility of Management to respond to the competitive factors
that exist in their market area.  It is our analysis that the economic
environment and the potential of the area is excellent, moreover, we feel that
the current Management team can realize that economic potential.  Our analysis
of the economic potential and the potential of Management affects the valuation
of the institution.

                 III.  COMPARISON WITH PUBLICLY TRADED THRIFTS

COMPARATIVE DISCUSSION

         This section presents an analysis of Heartland Bank relative to a
group of 12 publicly traded thrift institutions ("Comparative Group").  Such
analysis is necessary to determine the adjustments that must be made to the pro
forma market value of Heartland Bank's stock.  Table III.1 presents a listing
of the comparative group with general information about the group.  Table III.2
presents key financial indicators relative to profitability, balance sheet
composition and strength, and risk factors.  Table III.3 presents a pro forma
comparison of Heartland Bank to the comparative group.  Exhibits III and IV
contain selected financial information on Heartland Bank and the comparative
group.  This information is derived from quarterly TFR's filed with the OTS and
call reports filed with the FDIC.  The selection criteria and comparison with
the Comparative Group are discussed below.

SELECTION CRITERIA

         Ideally, the comparative group would consist of thrifts in the same
geographic region with identical local economies, asset size, capital level,
earnings performance, asset quality, etc.  However, there are few comparably
sized institutions with stock that is liquid enough to provide timely,
meaningful market values.  Therefore, we have selected a group of comparatives
that are either listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), the American
Stock Exchange ("AMEX"), or NASDAQ.  We excluded companies that are apparent
takeover targets and companies with unusual characteristics that tend to
distort both mean and median calculations.  For example, we have excluded all
companies with losses during the trailing 12 months.  We have also excluded
mutual holding companies (see Exhibit II.1).

         Because of the limited number of similar size thrifts with sufficient
trading volume, we looked for members of the comparative group among thrifts
with assets between $100 million and $500 million.  In addition, we wanted
institutions that had ROAA's between 50 bp and 125 bp; non-performing loans
greater than 50 bp, and institutions with loans to deposit ratios greater than
50% and less than 100%.  The Southeast Region, which includes Arkansas, had
only one thrift that met the aforementioned requirements.  We found 16 thrifts
that met the requirements by looking in the Midwest Region, the Mid-Atlantic,
and the Southeast regions of the United States (we consider 10 to be the
minimum number), we retained 12, and eliminated four for the following reasons:
(a) one became a merger target between the time of selection and the final
valuation report; (b) two were mortgage banking operations; and (c) one was a
Mutual Holding Company (see Table II.4 for additional details).

         The principal source of data was SNL Securities, Charlottesville,
Virginia.  There are approximately 430 publicly traded thrifts listed on NYSE,
AMEX, or NASDAQ.  In developing statistics for the entire country, we
eliminated certain institutions that skewed the results, in order to make the
data more meaningful:

         -   We eliminated companies with losses,
         -   We eliminated indicated acquisition targets,
         -   We eliminated companies with price/earnings ratios in excess of
             25,
         -   We eliminated companies that had not reported as a stock
             institution for one complete year, and
         -   We eliminated mutual holding companies.

FERGUSON & CO., LLP                                               SECTION III.




The resulting group of approximately 259 publicly traded thrifts is included in
Exhibit II.1.

         The selected group of comparatives has sufficient trading volume to
provide meaningful price data.  Four of the comparative group members are
located in the Midwest, one in the Southeast, and the others are located in the
Mid-Atlantic Region.  Three of the group are located in Pennsylvania, two in
Illinois, two in Maryland, and one each in Indiana, Georgia, New Jersey, New
York, and Ohio.  With total assets of approximately $173 million, Heartland
Bank is well below the group selected, which has average assets of $275 million
and median assets of $257 million.

PROFITABILITY

         Using the comparison of profitability components as a percentage of
average assets, Heartland was below the comparative group in return on assets,
 .69% to .81%; net interest income, 2.43% to 3.38%; and core income, .69% to
1.01%.  Heartland Bank was below the comparative group in other operating
income, .14% to .34%; but above the group in operating expense, 4.43% to 2.12%.
After conversion, deployment of the proceeds will provide additional income,
and Heartland Bank will compare more favorably with the comparative group in
terms of return on average assets, with a return of .80% at the midpoint of the
appraisal range.  Pro forma return on average equity is 5.18% at the midpoint,
versus a mean of 8.37% and median of 8.17% for the comparative group.

BALANCE SHEET CHARACTERISTICS

         The general asset composition of the Bank is similar to that of the
comparative group.  Heartland Bank has only a slightly higher level of passive
investments with 43.49% of its assets invested in cash, investments, and
mortgage-backed securities, versus 43.02% for the comparative group.  In the
investment portfolio, the Bank has 11.79% in cash and investment securities and
31.70% in mortgage backed securities.  The comparative group has a reverse
mixture with 32.19% in cash and investments, and 10.83% in mortgage backed
securities.  Heartland Bank has a lower percentage of its assets in loans, at
51.65% versus 64.38% for the comparative group.  The Bank's percentage of
earning assets to interest costing liabilities is much lower than that of the
group.  Heartland Bank has 105.26%, and the comparative group averages 112.75%.
After conversion, Heartland Bank's ratio will be in line with that of the group
of comparatives.

         The liability side differs mainly in that Heartland Bank has a lower
percentage of borrowings and higher percentage of deposits.  The Bank's capital
level is 7.79% versus 11.28% for the comparative group.  The comparison between
Heartland Bank's capital level and that of the comparative group will improve
after conversion, but at the midpoint, equity to assets will be 15.98% compared
to their average of 11.28% and median of 10.05%.

RISK FACTORS

         Both Heartland Bank and the comparative group have reasonable and
controllable levels of non-performing assets, with the Bank being slightly
lower than the comparative group, 1.09% to 1.13% of assets.  Heartland's loan
loss allowance is 1.61% of net loans, which compares favorably with the
comparative group's 1.08%.  The single most glaring disparity between Heartland
Bank and the comparative group is the negative one year gap to assets of
31.96%, compared to a positive 6.29% for the comparative group.  However, the
group average is based on information available for only six members of the
comparative group.  This high level of interest rate risk is at this time

<PAGE>   50

just lurking below the surface.  In fact the high level of risk is undoubtedly
adding to the Bank's profitability.  However, such levels of IRR must be
addressed and reduced.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL COMPARISON

         Based on the above discussion of operational, balance sheet, and risk
characteristics of Heartland Bank compared with the group, we believe that
Heartland Bank's performance is equal to that of the comparative group, and we
know that the interest rate risk management component is significantly higher
than the group.  While the Bank's profitability and capital levels are below
the comparative group, the conversion proceeds will increase its income and
capital levels to near comparable levels.  The close management of interest
rate risk is likely to have a continuing negative influence on the performance
of Heartland Bank's earnings.  However, in some analytical circles, the
diminution of earnings is adequately offset by the reduced interest rate risk
component.

FUTURE PLANS

         Heartland Bank's future plans are to remain a well capitalized,
profitable institution with good asset quality and a commitment to serving the
needs of its trade area and emphasizing lending.  The business plan emphasizes
growth in consumer lending and commercial non-real estate lending.  Management
recognizes that it will take time to invest the proceeds of its capital
infusion in a manner consistent with its historic performance and current
policy.  During that period of time, Management is willing to accept a lower
return on assets as well as a lower return on equity capital.

         Heartland Bank has always adhered to a controlled growth policy, and
in recent years, it has controlled its rates paid, its overall spreads, and has
funded all recent growth with FHLB advances.  The advances were used to control
spreads and help control interest rate risk.  The additional capital raised by
the sale of Common Stock will initially be used to purchase short term
investment securities.  Adjustable rate and short term loans will continue to
be emphasized.  The Bank will continue to minimize long term, fixed rate loans.
The Bank's business plan projects that it will experience growth in loans,
savings deposits, and liquidity.

         Heartland Bank anticipates a generous growth rate and has established
a subsidiary to hold properties for future expansion.  The additional capital
and the formation of a holding company would make the acquisition of branches a
viable option, along with de nova branching.

         Increasing market penetration by increasing the number of services and
products available, coupled with expanded marketing efforts, are the most
likely methods to be employed to achieve growth.

                       FERGUSON & CO., LLP QUALIFICATIONS

     Ferguson & Co. (F&C) is a financial, economic, and regulatory consulting
firm providing services to financial institutions.  It is located in Irving,
Texas.  Its services to financial institutions include:

     -    Mergers and acquisition services,

     -    Business plans,

     -    Fairness opinions and conversion appraisals,

     -    Litigation support,

     -    Loan review and valuation,

     -    Operational and efficiency consulting,

     -    Human resources evaluation and management, and

     F&C developed several financial institution databases of information
derived from periodic financial reports filed with regulatory authorities by
financial institutions.  For example, F&C developed TAFS and BankSource.  TAFS
includes thrifts filing TFR's with the OTS and BankSource includes banks and
savings banks filing call reports with the FDIC.  Both databases of information
include information from the periodic reports plus numerous calculations
derived from F&C's analysis.  In addition, both databases are interactive,

                        IV.  CORRELATION OF MARKET VALUE


MARKETABILITY & LIQUIDITY OF STOCK TO BE ISSUED

     This section addresses the aforementioned factors and the estimated pro
forma market.  Certain factors must be considered to determine whether
adjustments are required in correlating Heartland Bank's market value to the
comparative group.  Those factors include financial aspects, market area,
management, dividends, liquidity, thrift equity market conditions, and
subscription interest value of the to-be-issued common shares, and compares the
resulting market value of the Bank to the members of its comparative group and
the selected group of publicly held thrifts.

FINANCIAL ASPECTS

     Section III includes a discussion regarding a comparison of Heartland
Bank's earnings, balance sheet characteristics, and risk factors with its
comparative group.  Table III.2 presents a comparison of certain key
indicators, and Table III.3 presents certain key indicators on a pro forma
basis after conversion.

     As shown in Table III.2, from an earnings viewpoint, Heartland Bank is
below its comparative group in return on assets and core income as a percentage
of average assets, principally as a result of its net interest income level,
which is lower because of the Bank's lower capital ratio, a lower ratio of
interest earning assets ("IEA's") to interest bearing liabilities ("IBL's"),
and a lower net interest margin.  Heartland Bank's net interest income as a
percent of assets is 2.43% versus 3.38% for the comparatives.  After Heartland
Bank completes its stock conversion, its return on average assets and core
income as a percentage of average assets will increase, and will achieve parity
with the comparable group principally in spite of the lower ratio of IEA's to
IBL's, and a higher level of operating expense (4.43% vs. 2.12%).  Table III.3
projects that Heartland Bank will exceed the group in return on assets with
0.93% at the midpoint, versus a mean of 0.81% and median of 0.90% for the
comparative group.

     Heartland Bank's pro forma equity to assets ratio at the midpoint is
15.98%, versus a mean of 11.28% and median of 10.05% for the comparative group.
Heartland Bank's pro forma return on equity is below the comparative
group--5.18% at the midpoint versus a mean of 8.37% and median of 8.17% for the
comparative group.  This is an expected result considering the higher capital
ratios of Heartland Bank in comparison to the group.  In other words, higher
capital, lower ROAE, and lower capital, higher ROAE - all other factors being
equal.

     Heartland Bank's recorded earnings have been adjusted for appraisal
purposes (see Table IV.1).  The Bank recorded gains of $14 thousand from the
sale of investments and also recorded $938 thousand in losses on the sale of
investments.  In addition, the Bank paid the SAIF special assessment of $882
thousand, and recorded in the same September 30, 1996, quarter was an
additional provision for loan loss reserves of $560 thousand.

and F&C calculations.

     Heartland Bank's asset composition is similar to that of its comparative
group-- marginally lending oriented, with a high percentage of total assets in
investments and mortgage-backed securities.  From the risk factor viewpoint,
Heartland Bank is similar to the comparative group.  Heartland Bank has nearly
the same level of non performing assets(1.09% vs. 1.13%).  Heartland Bank's
loan loss allowance is 1.61% of net loans, comparing favorably with the
comparative group, which is 1.08%.  Its ratio of interest earning assets to
interest bearing liabilities (105.26%) is well below the comparative group
(112.75%).  From an earnings perspective, this is a significant amount of
difference, but Heartland Bank's ratio will be in line with the comparative
group after conversion.  From an interest rate risk factor, Heartland Bank is
significantly interest rate sensitive and would suffer significant diminution
of earnings in a rising rate environment.

     We believe that NO ADJUSTMENT is necessary relative to financial aspects
of Heartland Bank.

MARKET AREA

     Section II describes Heartland Bank's market area.

     We believe that AN UPWARD ADJUSTMENT is required for Heartland Bank's
market area.

MANAGEMENT

     The CEO has served as President, CEO and Director since 1990 (a Director
since 1983).  The Executive Vice President has been with Heartland Bank since
May 1966, however, he joins the Bank with in excess of 25 years experience in
bank and thrift management and is well qualified for the position.  The Chief
Lending Officer of the Bank is also a recent addition to the staff, coming into
employment with excellent credentials.  All officers report directly to
President Lampkin.  The staff possesses the necessary intellect, skills, levels
of expertise, and experience to maintain the integrity of the assets and to
implement the goals of the organization.  Heartland Bank's results compare well
with the comparative group.  Therefore, Heartland Bank's Management has done
the same quality job as its selected comparatives.  The Bank has no formal
management succession plan in effect; however, that is not unusual for this
size institution.  The recent acquisition of additional senior officers has
made the Bank less vulnerable to the loss of one or more senior managers, but
more than two would create problems.

     We believe that NO ADJUSTMENT is required for Heartland Bank's Management.

DIVIDENDS

     Table III.3 provides dividend information relative to the comparative
group and the thrift industry as a whole.  The comparative group is paying a
mean yield on a market price of 1.95% and a median of 2.06%, while all public
thrifts are paying a mean of 2.11% and median of 2.11%.  Arkansas public
thrifts are paying a mean of 2.61% and a median of 2.95%, but they are so few
in number that they are not a significant analytical factor.  Heartland Bank
intends to pay a dividend at an initial annual rate of 3.0%, on an offering
price of $10.00 per share.  Even with market appreciation, Heartland Bank's
dividend rate will be comparable.

     We believe that NO ADJUSTMENT is required relative to Heartland Bank's
intention to pay dividends.

LIQUIDITY

     The Holding Company has never issued capital stock to the public, and as a
result, there is no existing market for the Common Stock.  Although the Holding
Company has applied to list its Common Stock on NASDAQ, there can be no
assurance that a liquid trading market will develop.

     A public market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity,
and orderliness depends upon the presence in the market place of both willing
buyers and sellers of the Common Stock.  These characteristics are not within
the control of the Bank or the market.

     The peer group includes companies with sufficient trading volume to
develop meaningful pricing characteristics for the stock.  The market value of
the comparative group ranges from $77.55 million to $16.13 million, with a mean
value of $33.76 million.  The midpoint of Heartland Bank's valuation range is
$20.0 million at $10.00 a share, or 2,000,000 shares.  The modest size of the
issue and the limited number of shares that are being issued should have a
negative impact on the liquidity of the issue.

     We believe a DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT is required relative to the liquidity of
Heartland Bank's stock.

THRIFT EQUITY MARKET CONDITIONS

     The SNL Thrift Index has performed well since the end of 1990.  The Index
has grown as follows:  year ended December 31, 1991--increased 49.0% from 96.6
to 143.9; year ended December 31, 1992--increased 39.7% to 201.1; year ended
December 31, 1993--increased 25.6% to 252.5; year ended December 31,
1994--decreased 3.1% to 244.7; year ended December 31, 1995--increased 54.1% to
376.5.  The SNL Index is market value weighted with a base value of 100 as of
March 31, 1984.

     As shown in Figure IV.1, which is a graph of the SNL Thrift Index covering
the period January 31, 1994 through December 20, 1996, the market, as depicted
by the Index, has experienced fluctuations recently.  It dipped in the latter
part of 1994, but recovered during the first quarter of 1995.  During 1995, the
Index continued a more robust increase and moved from 244.7 at year end 1994 to
376.50 by December 31, 1995, an increase of 53.86%.  Between December 30, 1995
and May 31, 1996, the Index moved up and down within a narrow band of
performance.  In May of 1996, the upward trend became recognizable and
continuous.  The Index has generally trended upward since that start.  Overall,
the market index has increased 25.74% (from 382.99 to 481.96) between the end
of May and December 20, 1996.

     The increase in the SNL Index in general has been parallel with the
increases in other equity markets with some interim fluctuations caused by
changes or anticipated changes in interest rates or other economic conditions.
Another factor, however, is also notable.  In other markets, increased prices
are responding to improved profits, with price to earnings ratios increasing as
earnings potentials are anticipated.  The thrift market has also been
influenced by higher price earnings ratios.  In addition, the thrift IPO market
has been affected by speculation that conveys the notion that the majority of
the converting institutions will sooner or later become viable consolidation
candidates and sell at some expanded multiple of book value.  Moreover, the
number of conversions has decreased in recent months and the basics of supply
and demand are affecting the pricing of some of the recent issues, as
professional investor and regional speculators chase fewer viable issues of
thrift equities.

ARKANSAS ACQUISITIONS

     Table IV.2 provides information relative to acquisitions of financial
institutions in Arkansas between January 1, 1995, and December 20, 1996.  There
were two thrift acquisitions and 17 bank acquisitions announced during that
time frame.  Currently, there are three publicly held thrifts in the State of
Arkansas.  There are 57 publicly held thrifts in the Southeast region of the
country.  Bank acquisitions in Arkansas since January 1, 1995, have averaged
174.93% of tangible book value and 15.00 times earnings.  The median price has
been 163.20% of tangible book value and 14.36 times earnings.  Thrifts
generally sell at lower price/book multiples than do banks.  This data reflects
the same, but the limited number of thrifts in the data base makes it dangerous
to deduce that the price of thrifts are nearing the price of banks, especially
when one of the recorded thrift purchases was the subject's purchase of its
subsidiary.  Thrifts in Arkansas (only two have sold during that period) have
averaged 168.50% of tangible book value and 15.67 times earnings.  Disparity
between the price of thrifts and banks aside, there is ample data shown to
conclude that speculators in thrift IPO stock have good reason to believe that,
in the event of a sell out, there would be a generous profit to be made.  Such
knowledge and hope for profits have created a whole new level of professional
investors (speculators) and that, in turn, has increased the demand for thrift
IPO stocks.

EFFECT OF INTEREST RATES ON THRIFT STOCK

     The current interest rate environment and the anticipated rate environment
will affect the pricing of thrift stocks and all other interest sensitive 
stocks. As the economy continues to drift, the fear of inflation can, and has 
to a degree been replaced by economic uncertainty.  The Federal Reserve, in its
resolve to curb inflation, has increased rates in the past, but has more
recently relented to vagaries of the economy and passed an opportunity to 
increase rates.  In some minds, this was an attempt to stimulate what is
currently perceived as a fragile and irresolute economy (political rhetoric
aside).  Recent gains in thrift stocks are mainly due to the rise in other
equity markets, the effect of supply and demand, and fewer conversions.  Should
the merger and acquisition levels drop, if there were a sharp and sustained
rise in the interest rates, or if other equity markets have an adjustment, the
market in thrift equities could adjust downward.

     What is likely to happen in the short to intermediate term is that rates
will float around current levels and trend upward.  The yield curve will
continue to normalize.  A slowly increasing yield curve will do little for the
financial services industry in general and thrifts specifically, but the
normalization of the yield curve will mitigate to some degree its impact on
earnings by allowing money managers to play the spread.  Thrift net interest
margins will narrow if the cost of funds starts to rise more quickly.  Even
with portfolios replete with adjustable rate loans and MBS's, a quickly rising
rate environment can cause the cost of funds to rise faster than the adjustable
assets can accommodate, and accordingly, spreads would narrow.

     As clearly illustrated Figure IV.1, the SNL Thrift Index has performed
well over the last five years.  It moved in tandem with all interest sensitive
stocks and reflected the weakness in the market as investors began to consider
the importance of increases in rates and their impact on the net interest
margins of thrifts.  The clear implication is that eventually rising interest
rates will have a negative impact on earnings, but until that occurs, it is
likely that the market will continue to rise.

     Figure IV.2 graphically displays the rate environment since June 14, 1996.
In June and most of July 1996, the yield curve was normal, with between 200
basis points ("BP") and 150 BP's difference between the federal funds rate and
the 30 year treasury.  Since that time, the yield curve has become flatter,
with a 125 BP spread between the federal funds rate and the 30 year treasury
rate at December 20, 1996.  Mortgage rates follow closely the long term
government obligations, giving asset managers less opportunity to maintain
their spreads with the flatter yield curve.

     Increased cost of funds will serve to narrow the net interest margins of
thrifts.  A thrift's ability to maintain net interest margins through business
cycles is important to investors, unless thrifts can offset the decline in net
interest income by other sources of revenue or reductions in noninterest
expense.  The former is difficult and the latter is unlikely.

     Heartland Bank is vulnerable to interest rate risk.  If current strategies
to change the asset mix are completed in a timely manner, the changes in assets
and the coming infusion of capital should improve, to some degree, the interest
rate risk.  But until then, the exposure is excessive.

     Table IV.3, which has information on recent conversions since June 6,
1996, shows that recent price appreciation has been as robust as it was in past
periods.  Table IV.3 provides information on 28 conversions completed since
June 6, 1996.  The average change in price since conversion is a gain of
35.16%, and the median change is a gain of 33.75%.  All thrifts within that
group have increased in value ranging from a low of 15.63% to a high of 62.5%.
The average increase in value at one day, one week, and one month after
conversion has been 12.99%, 13.86%, 

                                       5

<PAGE>   69

and 15.68%, respectively.  The median increase in value at one day, one week,
and one month after conversion has been 11.88%, 14.38%, and 12.50%,
respectively.  A notable change in pricing patterns is that it is taking longer
for the stocks to increase in value.  In the recent past, it was not uncommon
for a stock to gain 75% to 80% of its total price increase in the first day or
week.  This is possibly due to the trend toward higher price to pro forma book
values at closings.  Since October 1, 1996, no stock has closed at a price to
pro forma book value of less than 71.70%, with the highest closing at 77.0%.

     Because of the lack of complete earnings information on recent
conversions, a meaningful comparison of the price earnings ratios is difficult
to make.  However, there is sufficient information to review the price-to-book
ratio.  The average price-to-book ratio as of December 20, 1996, is 96.38%, and
the median is 88.92%.  That compares to the offering price to pro forma book,
where the average was 69.52% and the median was 71.25%.

     We believe that a SLIGHT DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT is required for the new issue
discount.

VALUATION APPROACH

     Typically, investors rely on the price/earnings ratio as the most
appropriate indicator of value.  We consider price/earnings to be one of the
important pricing methods in valuing a thrift stock.  Price/book is a well
recognized yardstick for measuring the value of financial institution stocks in
general.  Another method of viewing thrift values is price/assets, which is
more meaningful in situations where the subject is thinly capitalized.  Given
the healthy condition of the thrift industry today, more emphasis is placed on
price/earnings and price/book.  Generally, price/earnings and price/book should
be considered in tandem.

     Table III.3 presents Heartland Bank's pro forma ratios and compares them
to the ratios of its comparative group and the publicly held thrift industry as
a whole.  Heartland Bank's earnings for the 12 months ended September 30, 1996,
were approximately $282,000 negative, with net adjustments of $2,366,000
($1,491,000 after tax) required to determine appraisal earnings of $1,209,000
(see Table IV.1).  Management has indicated an intention, through its
diversification of deposit and loan products, to exhibit the flexibility in
operations needed to serve both the public and the institution.  The Bank is
well positioned to manage interest rate variations.  The Bank projects moderate
growth.

     The comparative group traded at an average of 14.15 times earnings at
December 20, 1996, and at 114.72% of book value.  The comparative group traded
at a median of 13.23 times earnings and a median of 112.55% of book value.  At
the midpoint of the valuation range, Heartland Bank is priced at 12.56 times
earnings and 65.95% of book value.  At the maximum end of the range, Heartland
Bank is priced at 13.91 times earnings and 69.76% of book value.  At the
supermaximum, Heartland Bank is priced at 15.34 times earnings and 73.46% of
book value.

     The midpoint valuation of $20,000,000 represents a discount of 42.51% from
the average and a discount of 41.40% from the median of the comparative group
on a price/book basis.  The price/earnings ratio for Heartland Bank at the
midpoint represents a discount of 11.24% from the comparative group's mean and
5.06% from the median price/earnings ratio.

     The maximum valuation of $23,000,000 represents a discount of 39.16% from
the average and 37.99% from the median of the comparative group on a price/book
basis.  The price/earnings ratio for Heartland Bank at the maximum represents 
a discount of 1.70% from the average and a premium of 5.14% over the median of 
the comparative group.

     As shown in Table IV.3, conversions closing since June 1, 1996, have
closed at an average price to book ratio of 69.52% and median of 71.25%.
Heartland Bank's pro forma price to book ratio is 65.95% at the midpoint,
69.76% at the maximum, and 73.46% at the supermaximum of the range.  At the
midpoint, Heartland Bank is 0.03% above the average and 5.30% below the median.
At the maximum of the range, Heartland Bank is 0.24% above the average and
1.49% below the median.  At the supermaximum of the range, Heartland Bank's pro
forma price to book ratio is 3.94% above the average and 2.21% above the
median.

     Addressing the discounts between the pro forma book value of Heartland and
the current price to book values of the comparative group, there are some
notable factors.  First, all of these calculations were made from book value,
and in the case of Heartland Bank, there is some goodwill, and tangible book
values would certainly reduce the discounts.  Second, the majority of the
comparative group are mature institutions that on average are much larger than
the subject.  Consequently, they have grown into their infrastructure changes,
and being larger, non-interest expense is generally a smaller percentage when
compared to total assets, and profitability is slightly better.  Third, at a
midpoint pro forma book value of 65.95%, the discount from the average pro
forma book value closing ratio for all of the recent conversions is 5.14%.
Should the issue close at the maximum, which is likely, then it would be
closing at a premium to the average of recent conversion.  Finally, it must be
realized that there is some point beyond which most knowledgeable investors
will not travel as it relates to thrift IPO stock.  This valuation provides for
a 15% increase between midpoint and maximum and an additional 15% to
supermaximum, which would take the value higher than all but two of the most
recent conversions.

VALUATION CONCLUSION

     We believe that as of December 20, 1996, the estimated pro forma market
value of Heartland Bank was $20,000,000.  The resulting valuation range was

FERGUSON & CO., LLP    EXHIBIT V. - PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS

1.  Net proceeds from the conversion were invested at the beginning of the
period at 5.40%, which was the approximate rate on the one-year treasury bill on
December 20, 1996. This rate was selected because it is considered more
representative of the rate the Bank is likely to earn.

2.  Heartland Community Bank's ESOP will acquire 8% of the conversion stock with
loan proceeds obtained from the Holding Company;  therefore, there will be no
interest expense.  We assumed that the ESOP expense is 10% annually of the
initial ESOP expense.

3.  Heartland Community Bank's RP will acquire 4% of the stock through open
market purchases at $10 per share and the expense is recognized ratably over
five years as the shares vest.

4.  All pro forma income and expense items are adjusted for income taxes at a
combined state and federal rate of 37%.

5.  In calculating the pro forma adjustments to net worth, the ESOP and RP are
deducted in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

6.  Earnings per share calculations have ignored AICPA OP 93-6.  Calculating
earnings per share under SOP 93-6 and assuming 10% of the ESOP shares are
committed to be released and allocated to individual accounts at the beginning
of the period would yield earnings per share of $0.97, $0.86, $0.77 and $0.70,
and a price to earnings ratio of 10.30, 11.66, 12.91 and 14.23, at the minimum,
midpoint, maximum and super maximum, respectively.
