                   MERCHANTS CAPITAL CORPORATION
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Consolidated Financial Statements

     The consolidated fianacial statement include Merchants Capital
   Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Merchants Bank and its
   wholly owned subsidiary Merchants Credit Company. All intercompany
   profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company
   without an audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
   include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
   the financial position, results of their operations and their cash flows
   as of March 31, 1995, and for all periods presented have been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
   financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The results of
   operations for the periods ended March 31, 1995, are not necessarily
   indicative of operating results for the full year. It is suggested these
   financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
   Report and proxy statements filed with its Form 10-k for the year ended
   December 31, 1994.

2. Change in Accounting Principle

     Due to FASB #115, which became effective January 1,1994, the Company
   reclassified the securities held in the investment portfolio into two
   categories: Available for Sale and Held to Maturity. The Available for
   Sale securities are recorded at market value while the Held to Maturity
   securities are recorded at book value. An unrealized loss on the
   Available for Sale securities was recognized for $327,142.00, net of
   deferred taxes, reducing the Company's equity as of March 31, 1995.


3. Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

     Net income (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted
   average number of share outstanding during each period, after giving
   retroactive effect to stock dividends.


4. Acquisitions

     On April 1, 1995, Merchants Bank purchased certain assets and assumed
   certain liabilities of the Bank of Edwards, Edwards, Mississippi, for a
   premium of $350,000 which will be amortize over a fifteen year period.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operation

Changes In Financial Position and Liquidity
- -------------------------------------------
   In the three months ended March 31, 1995, assets increased by $4,273,881
or 2.48%. This resulted from increases of $12,744,913 in investments,
$1,733,905 in net increase in loans, and $22,394 in accrued interest
receivable. These increases were offset by decreases of $705,478 in cash and
due from banks, $9,405,000 in federal funds sold, $62,910 in bank premises
and equipment, $14,780 in other real estate, $32,713 in other assets, and
$6,450 in premium paid on purchased assets and deposits. The net increase in
liabilities and equity was a result of increases of $3,275,778 in deposits,
$543,315 in securities sold under repurchased agreements, $54,958 in accrued
taxes and other liabilities, and $206,779 in retained earnings which was
offset by a decrease of $14,761 in accrued interest payable. Also, assets
stockholders equity were increased by a decrease of $207,812 in net
unrealized loss on securities available for sale.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
   In the first quarter ended March 31, 1995, net income increased by
$50,734 or 16.40% over the first quarter income of 1994. Net interest income
increased by $86,202 or 5.07% as a result of an increase of $412,357 or
14.65% in interest income and an increase of $326,155 or 29.29% in interest
expense. The provision for loan losses decreased by $35,000 or 46.67%. Other
income increased by $24,472 or 5.28% and so did other expenses by $33,409
or 2.05%. The income tax provision increased by $61,531 or 40.66%.


Capital Adequacy
- ----------------
   The Company and the Bank must maintain certain levels of capitalization
as prescribed by the various regulators. The Company and the Bank must
maintain minimum amounts of capital to total "risk weighted" assets, as
outlined under the regulators' 1992 risk-based capital guidelines. The
Company and the Bank are required to have minimum Tier I and total capital
ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively. The actual ratios at March 31, 1995,
were 13.14% and 14.36% (Company) and 12.54% and 13.76% (Bank), respectively.
The Company and the Bank's leverage ratios at March 31, 1995, were 8.05%
and 7.68%, respectively. The minimum required leverage ratio is 3%-5% with
an internal target ratio set at 6% by management.

   The main source of capital expansion for the Company and the Bank
continues to be the retention of earnings. However, if the need arises
again, the Company can use its borrowing ability to inject needed capital
into the Bank. The net change in stockholders' equity of $414,591 in the
first three months was the result of the retention of earnings and a
decrease of the unrealized loss on securities available for sale. At the
present, there are no planned capital expenditures which would materially
restrict capital growth.
