NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
(Unaudited) 
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

   Unaudited consolidated financial statements:  The accompanying interim
consolidated  financial statements are unaudited.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for
fair presentation have been included.  Certain balances previously reported have
been  reclassified  to  conform  with  1996  financial  statement  presentation.
Further information may be  obtained by reference to the  consolidated financial
statements  and  accompanying  footnotes  included in  the  Homeland  Bankshares
Corporation ("Homeland") 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.     

   Securities available for sale:  Securities available for sale are reported
at  fair value,  with the  unrealized gains  and losses  reported as  a separate
component of  stockholders' equity.  Securities  available for sale may  be sold
for  management of  general liquidity  needs, response  to market  interest rate
fluctuations, implementation  of  asset-liability management  strategy,  funding
increased loan demand, changes  in securities prepayment risk, or  other similar
factors.    Realized gains  and  losses  on sales  are  computed  on a  specific
identification  basis and  are shown  separately as  a component  of noninterest
income.  

   Intangible assets:  Goodwill and core deposit intangibles arise from net
assets  acquired in purchase transactions.  Purchased assets and liabilities are
recorded at  their estimated fair values  on the acquisition dates.   Intangible
assets are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changed circumstances
may indicate  that the  carrying amount  of the assets  may not  be recoverable.
Goodwill is  amortized on a  straight-line basis  over 15 years.   Core  deposit
intangibles are amortized  on a  straight-line basis over  an average  estimated
life of  approximately 7  years.   At September 30,  1996 and  1995, accumulated
intangible amortization was $7,072,000 and $4,916,000, respectively. 

   Net income per share:  Net income per share calculations are based on the
weighted  average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for stock splits
and  common stock equivalents arising  from the assumed  exercise of outstanding
stock options. 

   Recently-adopted accounting standards:  Effective January 1, 1996, Homeland
adopted  Statement   of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")   No.  121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of."  This statement specifies when certain long-lived assets should
be reviewed for  impairment and how  to measure and  report an impairment  loss.
The  effect of the statement on Homeland's consolidated financial statements was
not material.  

   Effective January 1,  1996, Homeland  adopted SFAS No.  122, "Accounting  for
Mortgage Servicing Rights."  This statement amends SFAS No. 65 by establishing a
new standard  for capitalizing mortgage servicing  rights.  Under SFAS  No. 122,
the  accounting  principles  for mortgage  servicing  rights  are  the same  for
mortgages  originated by  the servicer  as for  those acquired  through purchase
transactions.   Accordingly,  under the  new statement, a  bank would  record an
asset  for mortgage  servicing rights  when it  sold mortgages and  retained the
servicing.  The  effect of  the statement on  Homeland's consolidated  financial
statements was not material.  

   SFAS  No. 123, "Accounting  for Stock-Based Compensation,"  was effective for
Homeland beginning  January 1, 1996.  SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures
of stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does
not require) compensation  cost to be measured  based on the  fair value of  the
equity instrument awarded.   Companies  are permitted, however,  to continue  to
apply  APB  Opinion No.  25,  which recognizes  compensation  cost based  on the
intrinsic value  of the equity  instrument awarded.   Homeland will continue  to
apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock based compensation awards to employees.  

   SFAS No. 125,  "Accounting for  Transfers and Servicing  of Financial  Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities," was issued in June 1996 to be effective for
transfers and servicing of  financial assets and extinguishments of  liabilities
occurring after December 31, 1996.   SFAS No. 125 provides  consistent standards
for  distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales, from transfers
that  are secured  borrowings.    Management believes  that  the  effect of  the
statement  on Homeland's consolidated financial statements will not be material.

4. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

   At September 30, 1996, other  short-term borrowings consisted of  $45 million
of advances  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB") and  $9 million in  U.S.
Treasury tax depository accounts.  The short-term FHLB advances were secured  by
certain U.S.  Government  securities, FHLB  stock,  and eligible  consumer  real
estate loans, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.1%.  

   In  the normal course  of business, Homeland banks  have established lines of
credit for overnight borrowings for the management of daily liquidity needs.  At
September 30, 1996, these unused lines of credit aggregated $151 million.  


5. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS

   At September 30,  1996, long-term borrowings  consisted of  FHLB advances  to
Homeland subsidiaries  with an average fixed  interest rate of 5.8%.   The long-
term  advances were  secured by  eligible consumer  real estate  loans  and FHLB
stock, and were scheduled to mature as follows:

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

   On March 20,  1996, the  Board of  Directors authorized  the continuation  of
Homeland's  common stock  buyback program by  approving the repurchase  of up to
500,000  shares of Homeland common stock through stock market transactions until
March  31,  1997.   For  the  nine months  ended  September  30, 1996,  Homeland
repurchased approximately 102,000 shares at a total cost of $3,138,000.  

7. PENDING MERGER

   On  August  30, 1996,  Homeland  and Magna  Group,  Inc.  ("Magna") signed  a
definitive agreement for the acquisition  of Homeland by Magna.  Magna is  a St.
Louis-based community bank holding company with $5.38  billion in assets.  Based
on a deposit market share, Magna is the third largest banking institution in the
St.  Louis Metropolitan area and ranks as  the 80th largest bank holding company
in  the nation.   Under the terms  of the agreement, Magna  will issue 5,038,934
shares of Magna common stock and $91,966,970  in cash in exchange for all of the
outstanding shares of Homeland's common stock.   Each share of Homeland's common
stock may be exchanged  for a value in Magna  common stock or cash equal  to the
sum of (x)  the product  of the value  of one  share of Magna  common stock  (as
determined in the definitive  agreement) multiplied by 0.8835 plus  (y) $16.125.
Homeland stockholders may elect to receive  all Magna common stock, all cash, or
a mixture of stock and cash, subject to certain limitations.  The transaction is
subject to the approvals of banking regulators and the stockholders of Homeland,
and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1997.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

   Homeland  Bankshares  Corporation  net  earnings  totaled $9,975,000  million
through the  third quarter of 1996,  or $1.74 per  share.  Net earnings  for the
third quarter alone were $2,642,000  million or $.46 per share.   These earnings
included a  nonrecurring charge for a  special assessment by the  FDIC which was
mandated by federal legislation on September  30, 1996.  This legislation called
for  all  financial institutions  with deposits  insured by  the FDIC  under the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") to pay a special one-time assessment
at the rate of approximately $0.657 per  $100 on SAIF insured deposit levels  as
of March  31, 1995.  Homeland's SAIF assessment was $1,689,000, net of an income
tax benefit  of $630,000, which reduced  1996 net income by  $1,059,000, or $.19
per share.

   Excluding the  special one-time  charge, net  income for  the nine  months of
1996 was $11,034,000  or $1.93 per  share, compared to  the same period  of 1995
which  totaled $9,952,000 or  $1.73 per share.   This represents  a net earnings
increase of  10.9% and  a  per share  increase of  11.6%.   Quarterly  earnings,
excluding the special  SAIF assessment, reached a  record high of $3,701,000  or
$.65 per share, compared to 1995 third quarter  net income of $3,642,000 or $.63
per share.

   Homeland's nine-month return on average  assets and return on  average equity
were 1.22%  and 11.34%, respectively,  excluding the  SAIF charges.   Prior year
returns  for the  same nine-month  period were  1.10% and  11.15%, respectively.
Return on  average assets and return on average equity  for the third quarter of
1996 were 1.23% and 11.22%, respectively, with the SAIF assessment excluded.

   On  August 30,  1996,  Homeland  and Magna  Group,  Inc. ("Magna")  signed  a
definitive agreement for the  acquisition of Homeland by Magna.   Magna is a St.
Louis-based community bank holding company with $5.38 billion in  assets.  Based
on a deposit market share, Magna is the third largest banking institution in the
St.  Louis Metropolitan area and ranks as  the 80th largest bank holding company
in the  nation.  Under  the terms of  the agreement, Magna  will issue 5,038,934
shares of Magna common stock  and $91,966,970 in cash in exchange for all of the
outstanding shares of Homeland's common stock.  Each  share of Homeland's common
stock may be exchanged  for a value in Magna  common stock or cash equal  to the
sum of (x)  the product  of the value  of one  share of Magna  common stock  (as
determined in the definitive  agreement) multiplied by 0.8835 plus  (y) $16.125.
Homeland stockholders may elect to receive  all Magna common stock, all cash, or
a mixture of stock and cash, subject to certain limitations.  The transaction is
subject to the approvals of banking regulators and the stockholders of Homeland,
and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1997.


NET INTEREST INCOME   

   Net interest  income is  the  excess of  the interest  and fees  received  on
interest  earning  assets over  the interest  expense  paid on  interest bearing
liabilities, while taxable-equivalent net interest income includes an adjustment
to ensure that interest income on taxable and nontaxable assets is comparable.

   Net  interest  income  totaled  $37,393,000 through  September  30,  1996 and
$35,427,000 for the same period of 1995.  Taxable-equivalent net interest income
was $38,028,000 and $36,183,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  Net interest income for the 1996 third quarter was $481,000
higher  than in  1995,  and  $444,000  higher  on  a  taxable-equivalent  basis.
Homeland  has experienced growth  in net interest  income from  a combination of
earning  assets  growth  and  effective  management  of  overall  interest  rate
sensitivity and liquidity.

   Net interest spread improved by 14 basis points for the  nine months of 1996,
compared to the  nine months of 1995,  while net interest margin improved  by 19
basis points for the same period.  The  higher net interest margin resulted from
the growth  in loan volume over the past year,  combined with a reduction in the
cost of funds.  Net interest spread and margin for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 also showed  improvements of 20 basis points and  24
basis points, respectively.


NONINTEREST INCOME

   Noninterest  income was up by  $527,000 or 6.1% for the  first nine months of
1996 compared  to the  same period of  1995.  Contributing  to the  1996 revenue
growth were  increases of 2.2%  in trust services  income, 4.8% in  student loan
servicing fees, and 13.0% in deposit  account service charges.   A 6.1%  decline
in  data  processing  services  revenue  partially  offset  these  increases  in
noninterest income.

   Total  noninterest  income  for  the third  quarters  of  1996  and  1995 was
$2,984,000  and $3,093,000,  respectively,  a 3.5%  decrease.   Deposit  account
service charges increased by  8.7% to $891,000 from $820,000;  however, declines
in  data  processing,  trust,  and  student  loan  servicing  fees  reduced  the
noninterest income.


NONINTEREST EXPENSES

   Noninterest  expenses  totaled  $28,621,000  for the  nine-month  period  and
$10,485,000 for the  third quarter of  1996.  Prior year  expenses for the  1995
year-to-date and  third quarter  were $27,330,000 and  $8,882,000, respectively.
Noninterest expenses in  1996 were inflated  by the special  one-time FDIC  SAIF
assessment   which  was  recognized  in  the  third  quarter.    Excluding  this
nonrecurring charge,  noninterest expenses  were $26,932,000 and  $8,796,000 for
the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 1996.

   Personnel  costs, typically  the  largest component  of noninterest  expense,
showed a $652,000 or 4.6% increase for the first nine months of 1996 compared to
the same period of 1995.   Included in this  increase were expenses of  $329,000
associated  with  an  early  retirement  program  offered  to  certain  eligible
employees.  Management estimates that the early retirement program should result
in personnel cost savings of  approximately $450,000 per year starting in  1997.
The remainder  of the  increase  was primarily  due to  higher health  insurance
premiums and other employee benefit costs.

   The federal enactment which mandated the assessment for SAIF insured deposits
also  reduced the ongoing SAIF deposit insurance rate for financial institutions
from $0.230 to $0.064 per $100  beginning January 1, 1997.  Management estimates
that the  new premium  rates will reduce  future deposit  insurance expenses  by
approximately $400,000  per year starting in 1997.

   A common measure of  effective management of cost  control is the  efficiency
ratio  which  represents   adjusted  operating  expenses  as   a  percentage  of
noninterest  income and net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis.
Homeland's year-to-date  efficiency ratio improved to 57.32%  compared to 57.71%
during the same  period of  1995.   Excluding the  SAIF expenses  from the  1996
noninterest expenses, the  efficiency ratio was 53.74%  for the nine months  and
52.59%  for the quarter.  Homeland continues  to benefit from ongoing efforts to
centralize and  consolidate  banking  operations  to offer  more  efficient  and
cost-effective customer services.

(1) Includes  government  sponsored  student  loans  totaling  $1.6  million  at
December  31, 1995 and  September 30, 1995,  for which there  is minimal risk of
loss.

   Homeland's  nonperforming  assets were  reduced to  .41%  of total  loans and
foreclosed  property at September  30, 1996.   Total  nonperforming  assets were
$3.6  million at September  30, 1996, compared  to $5.6 million  the prior year,
representing  a 36% improvement.  Homeland has consistently maintained a quality
loan portfolio, reflecting the company's community-based lending policies.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

   The allowance  for loan  losses is a  valuation reserve for  estimated losses
inherent in  the loan portfolio.   Actual credit losses, net  of recoveries, are
deducted from the allowance for loan losses when they occur.  Factors considered
in the  evaluation of the  allowance level include estimated  future losses from
loan  agreements  and obligations,  deterioration  in  credit concentrations  or
pledged  collateral,  and  historical loss  experience,  as  well  as trends  in
portfolio  volume,  composition,  delinquencies, and  nonaccruals.    Management
assesses  the adequacy of the allowance for  loan losses of each subsidiary bank
every  quarter.   However,  actual losses  could  differ significantly  from the
amounts estimated by management.

   The allowance  for loan losses stood  at $9.3 million at  September 30, 1996,
representing 1.04% of total loans  and 256% of nonperforming assets.   The prior
year allowance stood at 1.05% of total loans and 159% of nonperforming assets.  

   Net loan charge offs totaled $1,030,000 during the first nine months of 1996.
This compares to $740,000 for the equivalent period of 1995.  The provisions for
loan  losses were  $1,705,000 and  $612,000, respectively,  for the  first three
quarters of 1996 and 1995.  Net loan charge offs and loan loss provision for the
1996  third quarter  were  $369,000 and  $734,000,  respectively.   Despite  the
continued decline in nonperforming assets discussed earlier, Homeland's internal
assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses indicated a need for
an increased provision for loan losses in 1996.

   Banking  is an extensively regulated industry.  To maintain the shareholders'
and  customers' security,  banking regulatory  agencies have  set forth  capital
requirements based upon  the relative  risk of different  assets held by  banks.
Homelands'  capital ratios  have  consistently exceeded  the  "well-capitalized"
regulatory capital requirements for financial institutions.

   Homeland's stockholders' equity totaled $131.1 million at September 30, 1996,
a 5.8% increase from  September 30, 1995.   Out of net  income of $10.0  million
during  the first  nine months  of 1996,  Homeland retained  $6.1 million  after
paying dividends  to stockholders of $3.9  million.  The net  unrealized loss on
securities available  for sale, net  of deferred  income taxes,  was $83,000  at
September 30,  1996, compared to a $315,000 net unrealized loss at September 30,
1995.  

   The stockholders'  equity-to-asset ratio  was 10.86%  at September  30, 1996,
compared to 10.05% the prior year.  Homeland's book values per share were $22.98
and $21.60  at September 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The  closing market
trade  price of Homeland's  common stock was  $38.00 per share  at September 30,
1996.

   Homeland had  no  commitments for  any  significant capital  expenditures  at
September  30, 1996,  and  currently carries  no  long-term debt  at the  parent
company.


ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT   

   Asset-liability  management  encompasses  both  the  maintenance  of adequate
liquidity and the management of interest rate sensitivity.  Liquidity management
involves  planning to meet anticipated funding needs.  Interest rate sensitivity
management attempts to  provide the optimal level of net  interest income, while
managing exposure to risks associated with interest rate movements.


LIQUIDITY

   Core  deposits have  historically provided  Homeland with  a major  source of
stable  and relatively low-cost funding.  Secondary sources of liquidity include
federal  funds sold,  maturing securities  and  loans, securities  available for
sale, and borrowed funds.  In the normal course of business, Homeland banks have
established short-term lines  of credit  for the management  of daily  liquidity
needs.

   Cash  and  cash  equivalents were  provided  by  $13.4  million of  operating
activities.   Investing activities used  $27.7 million and  financing activities
used $32.7  million  during the  nine  months of  1996.   Total  cash  and  cash
equivalents were $72.9 million  at September 30, 1996, compared to $65.9 million
at September 30, 1995.



INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

   Interest rate  sensitivity has traditionally  been measured by  gap analysis,
which represents the difference  between assets and liabilities that  reprice in
certain time periods.  This method, while useful, has a number of limitations as
it is  a static point-in-time  measurement and  does not take  into account  the
varying  degrees of sensitivity to interest rates  within the balance sheet.  As
shown in  the table following,  on a static-gap  basis, the cumulative  ratio of
interest sensitive assets to  interest sensitive liabilities in a  one-year time
frame was 1.07, and as a percentage of total assets was 3.34%. 

   Because of inherent  limitations of gap analysis,  Homeland periodically uses
an  earnings simulation model to  more realistically measure  its sensitivity to
changing interest rates.  Management monitors the rate sensitivity and liquidity
positions  on an ongoing basis and,  when necessary, appropriate action is taken
to  minimize  any adverse  effects  of  rapid  interest rate  movements  or  any
unexpected liquidity concerns.

(b)   REPORTS ON FORM 8-K: 

      Form 8-K dated August 30, 1996, was filed with the Commission on September
      10, 1996,  and reported the  following information  under "Item 5  - Other
      Events": 

      On August 30, 1996, Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") and Magna
      Group,  Inc. ("Magna")  entered into  a definitive  Agreement and  Plan of
      Reorganization  (the  "Merger Agreement"),  which  provides,  among  other
      things, for the merger ("Merger") of Homeland with and into a newly-formed
      wholly-owned subsidiary of Magna.  

      Under  the terms of  the Agreement and  subject to certain  adjustments as
      provided therein, Magna  will issue  5,038,934 shares of  Magna $2.00  par
      value common  stock and  $91,966,970 in  cash in exchange  for all  of the
      outstanding  shares of  Homeland's $12.50  par value  common stock.   Each
      share of Homeland's  common stock may be exchanged for  approximately 1.55
      shares of  Magna common stock  or a comparable  amount in cash.   Homeland
      stockholders may elect to receive  all Magna common stock, all cash,  or a
      mixture of stock and cash, subject to certain limitations.  

      Also, on August 30, 1996, as a condition to Magna entering into the Merger
      Agreement, Homeland  entered into  a Stock  Option Agreement  (the  "Stock
      Option  Agreement") pursuant  to  which Magna  was  granted an  option  to
      purchase, under certain circumstances, 1,134,972 shares of Homeland common
      stock  (19.9%  of the  number  of  such shares  then  outstanding),  at an
      exercise price of $34.00 per share.
