acquired from automobile dealers and through other referral sources, led
the third quarter 1996 loan growth.  This segment of the loan portfolio
increased $23 million at September 30, 1996 compared with the total
on June 30, 1996.  Commercial, construction and mortgage loans also
increased strongly in the third quarter of 1996.

     On an average basis, the loan portfolio increased 11 percent in the
third quarter to $1.306 billion in 1996 compared with $1.175 billion in
1995.  Average loans after nine months in 1996 increased 10 percent over
comparable 1995 averages to $1.264 billion from $1.152 billion.

     The investment securities portfolio on September 30, 1996 totaled
$598 million, which represented an 11 percent decrease compared with the 
year earlier total of $675 million.  At year-end 1995, investment 
securities totaled $643 million.  Investment securities were reduced to 
accommodate loan growth.  In the third quarter, total investment securities
averaged $597 million in 1996, or 10 percent below the third quarter 1995
average of $667 million.  After nine months, the portfolio averaged $619
million in 1996 and $644 million in 1995.

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, 
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,
investment securities that are classified as available for sale are
reported at fair value.  The difference between fair value and amortized 
cost of securities available for sale at September 30, was a gain of
$157 thousand in 1996 and $2.0 million in 1995.  The reduction in the 
unrealized gain was attributable to higher interest rates.

     The Corporation was not invested in federal funds sold or other short-
term money market investments at September 30 in 1996 or 1995.  At year-
end 1995, such investments totaled $15 million.  In the third quarter
of 1996 and 1995 money market investments averaged $13 million.  After 
nine months, these investments averaged $11 million in 1996 and $14 million
in 1995.

     Total deposits on September 30, 1996 were $1.828 billion, or 3
percent above the year earlier total of $1.784 billion.  At year-end
1995, total deposits were $1.793 billion.  Non interest-bearing deposits
increased 9 percent to $312 million on September 30, 1996 from $286
million one year ago.  For the same period, interest-bearing deposits
increased to $1.516 billion from $1.497 billion.  Deposit growth in 1996
was hampered by the continued strong flow of funds into mutual funds and
other investment vehicles.  Average total deposits in the third quarter
were $1.797 billion in 1996 and $1.773 billion in 1995.  After nine months
in 1996, total deposits averaged $1.777 billion compared with $1.722 
billion in the same period in 1995.

     Short-term borrowings totaled $30 million on September 30, 1996
compared with $15 million one year earlier.  At year-end 1995, these
borrowings totaled $16 million.  In the third quarter, short-term
borrowings averaged $26 million in 1996 and $17 million in 1995.  After
nine months, these borrowings averaged $26 million in both 1996 and 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income increased 18 percent in the third quarter of 1996 to $7.2
million from $6.1 million in the third quarter of 1995.  Net income per
share rose 20 percent in the third quarter to $.48 in 1996 from $.40 in
1995.

     After nine months in 1996, net income totaled $20.8 million, or
18 percent above $17.6 million in the comparable period of 1995.  Net
income per share also increased 18 percent to $1.37 after nine months
in 1996 from $1.16 in the 1995 period.

     Net income in the third quarter of 1996 produced a return on average
assets of 1.40 percent compared with 1.21 percent in the third quarter
of 1995.  After nine months, this ratio of profitability was 1.35 percent
in 1996 compared with 1.19 percent in 1995.  In the third quarter of 1996,
the return on average shareholders' equity advanced to 12.44 percent from
11.18 percent in the same quarter of 1995.  After nine months, this ratio
improved to 11.99 percent in 1996 from 10.90 percent in 1995.

     Higher net interest income was a leading factor in the increase
in net income and the higher profitability ratios in both the third quarter
and nine month comparisons between 1996 and 1995.  In the third quarter of
1996, interest income increased 4 percent to $38.6 million, and interest
expense decreased 5 percent to $14.7 million.  Interest income increased
as the result of loan growth and the consequent higher proportion of 
earning assets held in the loan portfolio.  Interest expense decreased
as the result of lower interest rates in the third quarter of 1996 compared
with the third quarter of 1995.  The result was a 10 percent increase in
net interest income in the third quarter of 1996.  The increase in net 
interest income was reflected in the net interest margin, which improved to
5.05 percent in the third quarter of 1996 compared with 4.78 percent in the
third quarter of 1995.

     After nine months, net interest income was 8 percent higher in 1996 at
$70.2 million compared with $65.2 million in 1995.  The factors affecting
the nine month comparison were similar to those influencing the third
quarter comparison.  Interest income was 5 percent higher after nine
months in 1996 at $113.8 million compared with $108.7 million in the same
period in 1995.  Interest expense, however, was nearly flat in the nine
month comparison between 1996 and 1995.  The higher net interest income
after nine months in 1996 produced a net interest margin of 5.00 percent
compared with 4.88 percent in the same period in 1995.

     The provision for loan losses was increased significantly in both
third quarter and nine month period in 1996 principally as the result of 
loan growth and to a lesser extent because of marginally higher loan losses
and industry trends in credit quality measures.  In the third quarter of
1996, the provision for loan losses was increased to $900 thousand from
$480 thousand in the third quarter of 1995.  After nine months the 
provision for loan losses totaled $2.5 million in 1996 compared with $1.4
million in 1995.  On September 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses
totaled $14.6 million or 1.09 percent of loans, net of unearned income.
One year earlier, the allowance totaled $14.0 million, or 1.18 percent of
loans, net of unearned income.

     Although net loan losses were higher in 1996 comparisons, the amounts 
relative to the size of the loan portfolio were nearly constant and 
remained at low levels compared with industry averages.  In the third 
quarter, net loan losses were $422 thousand in 1996 and $373 thousand 
in 1995.  In both quarters, the amount of net losses represented .13 
percent of average loans net of unearned income.  After nine months, 
net loan losses amounted to $1.4 million in 1996 and $1.2 million in 
1995.  Those amounts represented .15 percent and .14 percent, 
respectively, of average loans, net of unearned income.

     In addition, non-performing assets continued to decrease in the
third quarter of 1996.  Non-performing assets totaled $7.6 million at
September 30, 1996, or 36 percent below the year earlier total of $11.7
million.  The September 30, 1996 total also represented a decrease from
the June 30, 1996 total of $8.7 million.  Loans 90 days or more past due 
decreased to $2.6 million on September 30, 1996 compared with the year 
earlier $3.4 million.

     Strong increases in non-interest income in the third quarter and nine
month period in 1996 also contributed to the increases in net income in 
those periods.  In the third quarter, non-interest income increased 12
percent, and after nine months it rose 15 percent in 1996 compared with
the respective periods in 1995.  Trust income increased 9 percent in the
third quarter, but only 3 percent after nine months in 1996.  Deposit 
account fees were 10 percent higher in the third quarter and 9 percent 
higher after nine months compared with the same periods in 1995.  Higher
return check charges were principally responsible for these increases.
Income from selling mortgage loans in the secondary market rose 
significantly both in the third quarter and nine month period in 1996
as the result of an increase in the volume of loan originations.  The 
$135 thousand recorded in the third quarter of 1996, however, was below
the $205 thousand recorded in the second quarter of 1996.  As expected,
an upward movement in mortgage loan rates led borrowers to favor
adjustable rate mortgages, which were held in the loan portfolio rather
than sold in the secondary market.  Other income rose 21 percent in the
third quarter and 30 percent after nine months in 1996 compared with
the same periods in 1995.  Other income benefited from increases in
credit card fees, revenues from the sale of investment products and
services, and other miscellaneous income.

     Modest increases in non-interest expense in both the third quarter
and the nine month period in 1996 were also positive factors in the 
earnings performance.  Non-interest expense increased only 2 percent in the
third quarter of 1996 compared with the third quarter of 1995.  Salaries
and employee benefits and other expense both increased 3 percent in third
quarter comparisons between 1996 and 1995.  In similar comparisons, 
equipment expense increased only 1 percent, and occupancy expense showed
no increase.  After nine months in 1996, salaries and employee benefits
were 6 percent above the amount recorded in the comparable period in 1995.  
Occupancy expense after nine months in 1996 was 14 percent higher,
principally as the result of a $438 thousand charge recorded in the second
quarter of 1996 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.  After nine months, equipment expense
was 3 percent higher in the 1996 period compared with the 1995 period.  
Other expense decreased 14 percent after nine months in 1996 compared with
the same period in 1995.  The largest factor in this decrease was a $1.8
million decrease in F.D.I.C. assessments.  In addition, a recovery from
the sale of a foreclosed property in the second quarter of 1996 lowered
other expense $448 thousand.

     Income tax expense increased to $3.8 million in the third quarter of
1996 from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 1995.  After nine months,
income tax expense totaled $11.0 million in 1996 compared with $8.9 million
in 1995.  Both increases were attributable principally to higher pre-tax
income.

LIQUIDITY

     A financial institution's liquidity requirements are measured by its
need to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loans, maintain reserve
requirements, and operate the organization.  To meet its liquidity needs,
the Corporation maintains cash reserves and has an adequate flow of
funds from maturing loans, investment securities, and short-term 
investments.  In addition, the Corporation's bank affiliate has the ability
to borrow from the Federal Reserve and from the Federal Home Loan Bank.  
The Corporation considers its sources of liquidity to be ample to meet its
needs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On September 30, 1996, shareholders' equity totaled $234 million, or 
11 percent of total assets.  Included in shareholders' equity on September
30, 1996 were unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of
tax effects, of $102 thousand.  In the third quarter of 1996, shareholders'
equity averaged $233 million compared with $220 million in the third
quarter of 1995.  After nine months, shareholders' equity averaged $231
million in 1996 and $215 million in 1995.  On September 30, 1996 the book
value of a share of common stock was $15.42 or 6 percent above the year 
earlier $14.53.

     On September 26, 1996, the Corporation commenced a modified Dutch
Auction tender offer to acquire up to 1,250,000 shares of its common stock.
The tender offer expired on November 1, 1996 subsequent to the
conclusion of the third quarter and, thus, the financial effects of the 
tender are not included in the accompanying financial statements.  In the
tender, the Corporation purchased 1,235,690 shares at a price of $28.00
per share.  Excluding costs of the transaction, the purchase of the 
shares will have the effect of decreasing shareholders' equity $34.6 million.  
After this reduction in shareholders' equity, the Corporation and its
bank subsidiary, Jefferson National Bank, will continue to meet all
applicable regulatory requirements and will continue to be classified as
"well capitalized" institutions, which is the highest regulatory 
standard for capital under the prompt corrective action framework enacted
in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.  
The tender offer was undertaken to restructure the balance sheet and to
improve shareholder value by increasing earnings per share and improving
the return on average shareholders' equity.
