		CenCor, Inc.
		City Center Square
		1100 Main Street, Suite 416-A 
		Kansas City, Missouri 64105
		(816) 221-5833

Kansas City, Missouri, August 15, 1997...CenCor, Inc. (the "Company") 
announced it received 126,418 shares of its Common Stock in response to 
the Company's self-tender offer to purchase up to 570,000 shares of its 
Common Stock at a per share price of $8.75 that expired on August 12, 
1997.  The Company has elected not to extend the offer beyond August 12, 
1997 and has accepted for purchase 126,418 shares tendered to the 
Company pursuant to its self tender offer. After the purchase by the 
Company of the shares tendered pursuant to its offer, the Company has 
1,338,812 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

The Common Shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol 
CNCR.  On August 13, 1997, the quoted bid price of the Common Shares on 
the OTC Bulletin Board was $9.06.

As previously announced, on May 30, 1997 the Company also defeased its 
outstanding long-term debt due July 1, 1999 in the principal amount of 
$7,203,726 by delivering approximately $6.4 million in U.S. Government 
Securities to the indenture trustee.  The defeasance of the long-term 
debt will allow for payment in full of the notes at the July 1, 1999 
maturity date.

In addition, the Company released the value of its net assets in 
liquidation as of June 30, 1997. As previously announced, the Company is 
in the process of liquidation and is expected to be fully liquidated by 
October 1999.

The Company's net assets in liquidation decreased $697,000 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 from $17,394,000 at December 31, 1996 to 
$16,707,000 at June 30, 1997.  The decrease is attributable to expenses 
from liquidating activities exceeding income ftom liquidation activities 
for the period.

The Company recognized $626,000 in income from liquidating activities 
during the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The Company's sources of 
income consisted primarily of investment income from the Company's 
short-term govermnent and government agency investments.

<PAGE>
The Company incurred $1,313,000 in expenses from liquidating activities 
during the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The Company's expenses 
consisted mainly of salaries, accretion of interest on the Company's 
then outstanding long-term debt, and other liquidating expenses.  For 
the three months ended June 30, 1997 the Company also incurred 
additional salary expense for accrued additional payments due its 
officers and directors upon liquidation. In addition, interest expense 
for the three months ended June 30, 1977 includes the difference between 
the recorded fair value of the long-term debt on May 30, 1997 and the 
amount of the Company's cash delivered to the indenture trustee to 
defease the Company's long term debt on May 30, 1997.

The Company is expected to be fully liquidated by October 1999.  In the 
event that the Company had fully liquidated and distributed its assets 
by June 30, 1997, and assuming that the Company's actual realized value 
of its assets and liabilities is identical to the Company's estimated 
realized value of these items, the Company's shareholders would have 
received $16,707,000 in distributions or approximately $11.22 per share, 
less costs to liquidate, as compared to $17,394,000 of $11.69 per share 
at December 31, 1996.

The actual amount to be received upon complete liquidation may be 
adversely affected by claims arising from the indemnification 
obligations resulting from the sale of the assets of its former 
subsidiary, Century Acceptance Corporation ("Century"), unanticipated 
income tax liabilities, or other unforeseen factors including legal 
matters.
