Note 2 - Securities

     Securities are classified into held-to-maturity, available-for-
sale, and trading categories.  Held-to-maturity securities are those
which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity, and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale
securities are those which the Company may decide to sell if needed
for liquidity, asset-liability management, or other reasons.
Available-for- sale securities are reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains or losses included as a separate component of equity,
net of tax.

     The amortized cost and fair value of securities available-for-
sale are as of September 30, 1996 summarized as follows:

                                              Amortized    Fair

     Effective January 1, 1995 the Company adopted FASB Statement No.
114.  This Statement requires impaired loans to be measured to the
present value of future cash flows or, as a practical expedient, at
the fair value of collateral.  Upon adoption, the Company recorded no
additional loan loss provision.

     The carrying values of impaired loans are periodically adjusted
to reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows, and
increases in the present value of expected cash flows due to the
passage of time.  Cash payments representing interest income are
reported as such.  Other cash payments are reported as reductions in
carrying value, while increases or decreases due to changes in
estimates of future payments and due to the passage of time are
reported as bad debt expense, if reductions, or otherwise as interest
income.  Information regarding impaired loans is as follows for the
period ended September 30.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition
          and Results of Operations


Overview

     Pikeville National Corporation (the "Corporation") is  a  multi-
bank  holding  company  headquartered  in  Pikeville,  Kentucky.   The
Corporation owns nine commercial banks, one savings bank and one trust
company.   Through  its  affiliates, the Corporation  has  over  sixty
banking  locations serving 85,000 households in nineteen  Eastern  and
Central Kentucky counties.  The Corporation had total assets of  $1.80
billion and total shareholders' equity of $140 million as of September
30,  1996.   The Corporation's common stock is listed on NASDAQ  under
the  symbol  PKVL.   Market  makers are  Robinson  Humphrey  Co.,Inc.,
Atlanta,   Georgia;  Morgan,  Keegan  and  Company,   Inc.,   Memphis,
Tennessee;  J.J.B.  Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, Inc., Louisville,  Kentucky;
Bear,  Stearns  &  Co.  Inc., New York, New York  and  Herzog,  Heine,
Geduld, Inc., New York, New York.

     On August 15, 1996, the Corporation's shareholders overwhelmingly
approved  changing the Corporation's name to Community Trust  Bancorp,
Inc., in order to better identify the Corporation with the communities
served throughout Eastern and Central Kentucky, as opposed to just the
Pikeville  area.  The name change will be effective as of  January  1,
1997.

     At  the  time  of  the  name change  on  January  1,  1997,  the
Corporation  will merge its nine commercial banks into one  commercial
bank,  which  will  be  named Community Trust Bank,  NA.   The  former
commercial banks will operate their branch locations under the name of
Community Trust Bank, NA, Pikeville National Bank and Trust Company or
the  name  formerly  used  by  the  affiliate  commercial  bank  (e.g.
Commercial  Bank).   The Corporation's savings bank,  Community  Trust
Bank,  FSB  and  its  trust company, Trust Company of  Kentucky,  will
continue to operate as separate entities.


Acquisitions

     After making no acquisitions during the years 1992 through 1994,
the  Corporation  resumed  its  strategic  policy  of  diversification
through acquisition and acquired all of the outstanding stock of  four
Kentucky  banks  during  1995.  This gives the Corporation  additional
economies  of  scale and new markets in which to deliver its  existing
products.

     On February 2, 1995, the Corporation acquired Community Bank  of
Lexington,  Inc.,  Lexington, Kentucky ("Community Bank"),  which  had
assets  of $61 million.  The Corporation issued 366,000 shares of  its
common stock with a market value of $24 per share to acquire Community
Bank.  The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method  of
accounting, with $6.3 million of goodwill recognized.  The assets  and
results  of  operations  of  Community  Bank  are  included   in   the
Corporation's  financial  statements  from  the  date  of  acquisition
forward.   The offices of Community Bank became branches of  Pikeville
National Bank and Trust Company, the Corporation's lead bank, on March
31, 1995.  While the Corporation had already been active in lending in
the  Lexington-Fayette  County  market  through  its  loan  production
office,  the  Community Bank acquisition gives the Corporation  branch
offices  in  which  to  provide deposit products and  other  financial
services in one of Kentucky's fastest growing markets.

     On May 31, 1995, the Corporation acquired Woodford Bancorp, Inc.,
Versailles,  Kentucky ("Woodford"), which had assets of  $103  million
for 967,000 shares of its common stock.  The transaction was accounted
for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting, and all prior
period  financial  information was restated  to  give  effect  to  the
<PAGE>
transaction.  This acquisition gives the Corporation another  presence
in  the Central Kentucky area, which has one of the highest per capita
incomes and lowest unemployment rates in Kentucky.

     On  June  30,  1995, the Corporation acquired  Commercial  Bank,
Middlesboro, Kentucky ("Middlesboro"), which had assets of $99 million
for  $14.4  million in cash.  The transaction was accounted for  under
the  purchase  method of accounting and goodwill of $4.2  million  was
recognized.   Funds of $13.5 million were borrowed in connection  with
the  acquisition.  The assets and results of operations of Middlesboro
are  included in the Corporation's financial statements from the  date
of  acquisition  forward.  The City of Middlesboro is located  on  the
Kentucky-Virginia-Tennessee border and is  a  growing  market  with  a
thriving tourism industry.

     On  November  3,  1995 the Corporation acquired  United  Whitley
Corporation,   Williamsburg,   Kentucky   ("Williamsburg")   and   its
subsidiary, Bank of Williamsburg, which had assets of $37 million  for
172,000 shares of its common stock.  The transaction was accounted for
under  the  pooling-of-interests method  of  accounting,  but  without
restatement  of  prior period financial information  due  to  lack  of
materiality.  The assets and results of operations of Williamsburg are
included  in the Corporation's financial statements from the  date  of
acquisition  forward.  Bank of Williamsburg was  merged  into  Farmers
National  Bank  on the date of acquisition.  Through the  acquisition,
the  Corporation substantially increased the deposit base  of  Farmers
National  Bank  while increasing its operating costs only  marginally.
Through  the merger of Farmers National Bank and Bank of Williamsburg,
the  Corporation  was able to move the bank charter  of  the  acquired
institution to adjacent Laurel County and now has a branch in  London,
Kentucky which is among the fastest growing areas in Kentucky.


Income Statement Review

     The Corporation's net income for the three months ended September
30,  1996  was  $4.9 million or $0.54 per share as  compared  to  $2.7
million  or  $0.30 per share for the three months ended September  30,
1995.   Net  income for the nine months ended September 30,  1996  was
$13.8  million or $1.52 per share as compared to $8.5 million or $0.96
per share for the same period in 1995.  The following table sets forth
on  an  annualized basis the return on average assets  and  return  on
average  shareholders'  equity for the three  and  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995:

                                         Three months ended  Nine months ended
                                           September 30        September 30
                                          1996      1995       1996     1995

Return on average shareholders' equity   13.92%     8.39%     13.47%    8.78%
Return on average assets                  1.09%     0.65%      1.06%    0.71%

      The  Corporation's  net income for the  third  quarter  of  1996
increased $2.2 million or 80% as compared to the same period in  1995.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $5.3
million  or  62%  as compared to the nine months ended  September  30,
1995.   Earnings per share increased $0.24 per share or  80%  for  the
three  months  ended  September 30, 1996, as  compared  to  the  third
quarter of 1995.  Earnings per share increased 58% to $1.52 per  share
for  the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
same  period in 1995.  Net interest income increased $2.2  million  or
13%  for  the third quarter of 1996 as compared to 1995 and  increased
$6.8  million or 14% for the first nine months of 1996 as compared  to
1995.  The increase in net interest income was caused by increases  in
the  net  interest margin from 4.47% for the third quarter of 1995  to
4.73%  for  the  third  quarter of 1996 and by  increases  in  average
earning  assets.  The increases in average earning assets were  caused
by internally generated growth for the third quarter and by internally
<PAGE>
generated growth plus the assets of acquired banks for the nine  month
period as compared to 1995.

     Provision  for loan losses increased by $0.4 million  from  $1.6
million  for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.0 million
for  the  quarter ended September 30, 1996, and by $1.2  million  from
$4.0  million  for  the nine months ended September  30,1995  to  $5.2
million  for the same period in 1996 as net charge-offs increased  for
the  three  and nine month periods as compared to the same periods  in
1995.   The increases in net charge-offs were due to increases in  the
loan portfolio from internally generated growth and acquisitions.  Net
noninterest  expense  for the quarter decreased  by  $1.3  million  as
compared to the same period in 1995 and decreased by $2.0 million  for
the first nine months as compared to 1995.

     All  the  results  of  operations  are  impacted  by  the  four
acquisitions  that occurred in 1995.  As a result of the acquisitions,
net  interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense  have
all  experienced  increases.  The results of operations  of  Community
Bank  are  included from February 2, 1995, Middlesboro from  June  30,
1995 and Williamsburg from November 3, 1995.  Woodford is included for
all  periods due to being accounted for as a pooling-of-interests with
restatement of all prior period financial information.


Net Interest Income

     Net  interest  income increased $2.2 million or 13%  from  $16.9
million  for the third quarter of 1995 to $19.1 million for the  third
quarter  of 1996.  Interest income and interest expense both increased
for  the  quarter ending September 30, 1996 as compared  to  the  same
period  in  1995,  with interest income increasing  $2.4  million  and
interest  expense increasing $0.2 million.  For the nine months  ended
September  30,  1996  as  compared to the same  period  in  1995,  net
interest  income  increased $6.8 million as interest income  increased
$10.7 million and interest expense increased $3.9 million.

     The  increase in net interest income for both the three and nine
month  periods  was  driven by increases in net  interest  margin  and
increases in average earning assets due to the acquisitions.   Average
earning  assets increased 7% from $1.55 billion for the  three  months
ended September 30, 1995 to $1.66 billion for the same period in 1996.
For  the  nine month period average earning assets also increased  9%,
from $1.48 billion in 1995 to $1.62 billion in 1996.  The increases in
both  average earning assets and interest bearing funds for  the  nine
month  period  were  due in substantial part to  the  acquisitions  of
Community Bank, Middlesboro, and Williamsburg discussed earlier.   For
the  third quarter as compared to 1995, the only acquisition that  had
an   impact   was  Williamsburg,  which  was  the  smallest   of   the
acquisitions.

     The  yield on interest earning assets remained the same for  the
third  quarter of 1996 and increased 15 basis points to 8.96% for  the
first  nine  months of 1996 as compared to the same periods  in  1995.
The  cost of interest bearing funds decreased 25 basis points to 4.82%
for  the  third quarter of 1996 and decreased 4 basis points to  4.86%
for  the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same periods  in
1995.   As  a result the net interest margin increased from 4.47%  for
the  third quarter of 1995 to 4.73% for the third quarter of 1996  and
increased from 4.53% for the nine months ended September 30,  1995  to
4.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     The increases in yield and interest margin are due in large part
from  growth in the Corporation's loan portfolio, its highest yielding
asset.   Loan  portfolio  growth  was  caused  by  the  aforementioned
acquisitions  and  by internally generated growth.  The  Corporation's
average  loans increased 18% from $1.06 billion for the third  quarter
of  1995  to  $1.25  billion for the third  quarter  of  1996.   Loans
<PAGE>
accounted  for 84% of total interest income for the third  quarter  of
1996  compared  to 77% for the third quarter of 1995.   The  following
table  summarizes the annualized net interest spread and net  interest
margin  for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,  1996
and 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and
selected ratios is set forth below.

                                           Nine Months Ended
                                              September 30

Allowance balance at September 30          $18,764   $16,463

Allowance for loan losses to

Average loans, net of unearned income   $1,190,903  $996,365
Provision for loan losses to
 average loans, annualized                     .58%      .54%
Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries to
 average loans, annualized                     .28%      .28%


     The  Corporation increased its provision for loan  losses  as  a
result of the growth in its loan portfolio.  Net charge-offs represent
the  amount  of  loans  charged off less amounts  recovered  on  loans
previously  charged off.  Net charge-offs as a percentage  of  average
loans outstanding was the same during the first nine months of 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995.  The Corporation's non-performing
loans  (90  days  past due and non-accrual) was 1.20%  of  outstanding
loans at both December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996.

     Any  loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or  special
mention  that  are  not included in non-performing loans  do  not  (1)
represent  or  result  from trends or uncertainties  which  management
reasonably  expects  will materially impact future operating  results,
liquidity or capital resources or (2) represent material credits about
which  management has knowledge of any information which  would  cause
management  to have serious doubts as to the ability of the  borrowers
to  comply  with the loan repayment terms.  The Corporation  does  not
believe  there are currently any trends, events or uncertainties  that
are  reasonably likely to have a material effect on the volume of  its
non-performing loans.
<PAGE>

Noninterest Income

     The  Corporation's noninterest income increased  54%  from  $2.4
million  for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $3.7 million
for  the third quarter of 1996. Noninterest income for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1996 increased 36% from $7.8 million in  1995  to
$10.6 million in 1996.  All categories of noninterest income increased
during  the three and nine month periods for 1996, as compared to  the
same  periods in 1995, except for net securities gains, which declined
from  $7  thousand to $5 thousand for the third quarter.  Included  in
gains on sale of loans for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 is
$400  thousand applicable to the sale of the Corporation's credit card
portfolio.    The  adoption  of  Statement  of  Financial   Accounting
Standards  No.  122,  "Accounting  for  Mortgage  Servicing   Rights,"
increased  gain  on  sale  of  loans by $480  thousand.   The  largest
component of other noninterest income is insurance commissions,  which
increased from $298 thousand to $496 thousand for the three months and
from $719 thousand to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September
30,  1996  as  compared  to the same period in  1995.   New  incentive
programs  for sales of credit life insurance are primarily responsible
for  the increase.  The increases in all noninterest income categories
were  substantially  impacted by the acquisitions of  Community  Bank,
Middlesboro  and  Williamsburg for the nine  month  period.   However,
increases in noninterest income categories were not impacted  for  the
three month period by the acquisitions.


Noninterest Expense

     The Corporation's noninterest expense decreased by 1% from $13.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $13.7 million
for  the same period in 1996.  For the nine months ended September 30,
1996,  noninterest expense increased 2% to $40.8 million  compared  to
$40.0  million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Salaries
and  employee benefits increased the most of any category, rising from
$6.3  million  for the third quarter of 1995 to $7.0 million  for  the
same  period in 1996, and from $18.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $21.3 million for the first nine months of 1996.
FDIC  insurance  declined  substantially, from  $1.4  million  to  $20
thousand  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared  to
the  same period in 1995.  The reduction in FDIC insurance is  due  to
the  change  in premium structure.  Currently the FDIC charges  "well-
capitalized"  banks, as defined for regulatory purposes, only  minimal
amounts  for  deposit  insurance premiums.  All of  the  Corporation's
affiliate  banks  are  currently classified as "well-capitalized"  for
regulatory   purposes.  The  increases  in  all  noninterest   expense
categories  were  impacted  by  the acquisitions  of  Community  Bank,
Middlesboro and Williamsburg for the nine month period.


Balance Sheet Review

     Total assets increased from $1.73 billion at December 31, 1995 to
$1.80  billion  at September 30, 1996, or an annualized  rate  of  5%.
During  this time, loans increased from $1.12 billion to $1.27 billion
or  an annualized rate of 18%.  The asset category which declined most
was  federal funds sold which declined from $39.6 million at  December
31,  1995 to $0 at September 30, 1996 as the Corporation was  able  to
invest more in its higher yielding loan portfolio.

     The  Corporation's  largest liability, deposits,  declined  from
$1.47 billion as of December 31, 1995 to $1.46 billion as of September
30,  1996.   The  decline  in deposits was  all  in  interest  bearing
deposits as noninterest bearing deposits increased from $187.8 million
at  December  31,  1995  to  $191.7 million  at  September  30,  1996.
Interest  bearing  deposits declined from  $1.280  billion  to  $1.270
billion during the same period.  The Corporation reduced its long-term
<PAGE>
debt  during the period from $27.9 million as of December 31, 1995  to
$19.2  million  as of September 30, 1996.  The Corporation's  advances
from  Federal Home Loan Bank increased from $63.6 million at  December
31, 1995 to $112.2 million at September 30, 1996.


Loans

     Loans  increased from $1.12 billion as of December 31,  1995  to
$1.22  billion  as  of  September 30, 1996.  The loan  category  which
increased most was consumer loans, which increased from $208.9 million
as  of  December 31, 1995 to $289.0 million as of September 30,  1996.
Consumer loans increased due to the Corporation's aggressive expansion
into  the indirect consumer loan market in Kentucky.  Other than lease
financing, which declined from $5.9 million to $4.3 million, all other
loan categories increased during the period from December 31, 1995  to
September 30, 1996.

     Non-accrual and 90 days past due loans amounted to 1.20% of total
loans outstanding as of both December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996.
Non-accrual  loans decreased 5 basis points from 0.85% of total  loans
outstanding as of December 31, 1995 to 0.80% as of September 30, 1996.
During  the  same period, loans 90 days or more past due  increased  5
basis  points  from 0.35% of total loans outstanding  to  0.40%.   The
allowance  for  loan  losses  increased  from  1.44%  of  total  loans
outstanding as of December 31, 1995 to 1.48% as of September 30, 1996.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans and
loans 90 days or more past due was 120% at December 31, 1995 and  123%
at September 30, 1996.

     The following table summarizes the Corporation's loans that  are
non-accrual or past due 90 days or more as of September 30,  1996  and
December 31, 1995.

Allowance for loan losses

     Management analyzes the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses
on  a  quarterly basis.  The loan portfolio of each affiliate bank  is
analyzed  by each major loan category, with a review of the  following
areas: (i) specific allocations based upon a review of selected  loans
for  loss potential; (ii) an allocation which estimates reserves based
upon  the  remaining  pool  of  loans in each  category  derived  from
historical net charge-off data, delinquency trends and other  relevant
<PAGE>
factors;  and  (iii)  an unallocated portion of  the  allowance  which
provides for a margin of error in estimating the allocations described
above  and provides for risks inherent in the portfolio which may  not
be specifically addressed elsewhere.

     Off-balance  sheet  risk is addressed by  including  letters  of
credit in the Corporation's allowance adequacy analysis and through  a
monthly   review   of   all  letters  of  credit   outstanding.    The
Corporation's   loan  review  and  problem  loan   analysis   includes
evaluation of deteriorating letters of credit.  Volume and  trends  in
delinquencies  are monitored monthly by management and the  boards  of
directors of the respective banks.


Securities

     The  Corporation  uses  its  securities  held-to-maturity   for
production  of  income and to manage cash flow needs through  expected
maturities.   The  Corporation uses its securities  available-for-sale
for income and balance sheet liquidity management.  The book value  of
securities  available-for-sale decreased from  $279.7  million  as  of
December  31,  1995  to  $238.0 million  as  of  September  30,  1996.
Securities  held-to-maturity declined from $150.7  million  to  $141.5
million  during the same period.  Total securities as a percentage  of
total  assets  was  24.9% as of December 31,  1995  and  21.1%  as  of
September 30, 1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Corporation's liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds
are  available for the affiliate banks to meet deposit withdrawals and
credit  demands without unduly penalizing profitability, and to ensure
that  funding  is available for the Corporation to meet  ongoing  cash
needs  while  maximizing profitability.  The Corporation continues  to
identify ways to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term
basis.   The  subsidiary banks rely on core deposits, certificates  of
deposit  of  $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and interest  on
loans  and securities, federal funds sold and purchased, the  sale  of
securities  under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale
and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to provide for liquidity.

     Deposits decreased marginally from $1.47 billion to $1.46 billion
from  December  31,  1995 to September 30, 1996.  Noninterest  bearing
deposits  increased  by  $5  million while interest  bearing  deposits
decreased  by  $10 million.  This decline has not materially  impacted
the Corporation's profitability or its ability to provide loan funding
as loans continue to grow.

     Due to the nature of the markets served by the subsidiary banks,
management believes that the majority of its certificates of  deposits
of  $100,000  or  more are no more volatile than  its  core  deposits.
During  the  periods  of  low interest rates, these  deposit  balances
remained  stable  as  a  percentage of total deposits.   In  addition,
arrangements have been made with correspondent banks for the  purchase
of  federal  funds  on an unsecured basis, up to an aggregate  of  $97
million, if necessary, to meet the Corporation's liquidity needs.
     
     The Corporation owns $238 million of securities valued at market
price that are designated as available-for-sale and available to  meet
liquidity needs on a continuing basis.  The Corporation also relies on
Federal  Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management  of
its   asset/liability  position.   Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  Advances
increased from $63.6 million as of December 31, 1995 to $112.2 million
as of September 30, 1996.

     The  Corporation generally relies upon net inflows of cash  from
financing  activities,  supplemented  by  net  inflows  of  cash  from
<PAGE>
operating  activities,  to provide cash for its investing  activities.
As  is  typical of many financial institutions, significant  financing
activities  include  deposit gathering, use  of  short-term  borrowing
facilities  such as federal funds purchased and securities sold  under
repurchase   agreements,  and  issuance  of   long-term   debt.    The
Corporation  currently has a $17.5 million revolving  line  of  credit
available  to meet any future cash needs (see long-term debt  footnote
to  the consolidated financial statements).  The Corporation's primary
investing  activities  include  purchases  of  securities   and   loan
originations.

     In  conjunction  with  maintaining  a  satisfactory  level   of
liquidity,  management  monitors the  degree  of  interest  rate  risk
assumed  on the balance sheet.  The Corporation monitors its  interest
rate  risk by use of the static and dynamic gap models at the one year
interval.   The static gap model monitors the difference  in  interest
rate  sensitive  assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities  as  a
percentage  of  total  assets that mature within  the  specified  time
frame.   The  dynamic gap model goes further in that it  assumes  that
interest  rate  sensitive assets and liabilities will  be  reinvested.
The  Corporation uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest  rate
risk.  The Corporation desires an interest sensitivity gap of not more
than fifteen percent of total assets at the one year interval.

     On a limited basis, the Corporation now uses interest rate swaps
and  sales  of options on securities as additional tools  in  managing
interest rate risk.  Interest rate swaps involve an exchange  of  cash
flows based on the notional principal amount and agreed upon fixed and
variable  interest  rates.  In this transaction, the  Corporation  has
agreed  to  pay  a  floating interest rate based on London  Inter-Bank
Offering Rate (LIBOR) and receive a fixed interest rate in return.  On
options,  the  Corporation has sold the right  to  a  third  party  to
purchase securities the Corporation currently owns at a fixed price on
a  future  date.   The Corporation had      no options outstanding  at
September  30, 1996.  The impact on operations of interest rate  swaps
and  options was not material during the first nine months of 1995  or
1996.

     The Corporation's principal source of funds used to pay dividends
to  shareholders  and  service long-term  debt  is  the  dividends  it
receives  from subsidiary banks.  Various federal and state  statutory
provisions,  in addition to regulatory policies and directives,  limit
the  amount  of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay without  prior
regulatory approval.  These restrictions have had no major  impact  on
the  Corporation's dividend policy or its ability to service long-term
debt,  nor  is it anticipated that they will have any major impact  in
the  foreseeable  future.  In addition to the subsidiary  banks'  1996
profits, approximately $4.5 million can be paid to the Corporation  as
dividends without prior regulatory approval.

     The  primary source of capital for the Corporation  is  retained
earnings.   The Corporation declared dividends of $0.54 per share  for
the  first nine months of 1996 and $0.48 for the first nine months  of
1995.   Earnings per share for the same periods were $1.52 and  $0.96,
respectively.  The Corporation retained 64% of earnings for the  first
nine months of 1996.

     Under  guidelines issued by banking regulators, the  Corporation
and  its  subsidiary banks are required to maintain a minimum  Tier  1
risk-based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of
8%.  Risk-based capital ratios weight the relative risk factors of all
assets  and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items.
The Corporation must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio  of
4%  as of September 30, 1996.  The Corporation's Tier 1 leverage, Tier
1 risk-based and total risk-based ratios were 6.82%, 9.60% and 10.85%,
respectively as of September 30, 1996.

     As of September 30, 1996, management is not aware of any current
recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they  were
to  be implemented, would have, or would be reasonably likely to have,
a  material  adverse  impact on the Corporation's  liquidity,  capital
<PAGE>
resources,  or  operations.  A one-time assessment of 65.7  cents  per
$100  of  savings deposits, which constitute 12% of the  Corporation's
deposits,   was  passed  by  congress  to  recapitalize  the   Savings
Association  Insurance  Fund (SAIF).  This did  not  have  a  material
impact   on  the  Corporation's  financial  position  or  results   of
operations.


Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

     The  majority  of the Corporation's assets and  liabilities  are
monetary  in  nature. Therefore, the Corporation differs greatly  from
most   commercial  and  industrial  companies  that  have  significant
investment   in   nonmonetary  assets,  such  as  fixed   assets   and
inventories.  However, inflation does have an important impact on  the
growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need  to
increase  equity  capital  at higher than normal  rates  in  order  to
maintain  an  appropriate  equity to  assets  ratio.   Inflation  also
affects  other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of  general
inflation.

     Management believes the most significant impact on financial and
operating results is the Corporation's ability to react to changes  in
interest  rates.  Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced
position  between  interest rate sensitive assets and  liabilities  in
order   to   protect  against  the  effects  of  wide  interest   rate
fluctuations.
