                      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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 $99,970.02, net of
deferred taxes, reducing the Company's equity as of June 30, 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 amortized 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 six months ended June 30, 1995, assets increased by $18,269,182
or 10.6%. This resulted from increases of $12,177,766 in investments,
$18,568,045 in net increase in loans, $183,444 in bank premises and
equipment, $721,634 in accrued interest receivable, and $331,267 in premium
paid in purchased assets. These increases were offset by decreases of
$86,302 in cash and due from banks, $13,280,000 in federal funds sold,
$130,295 in other real estate, and $216,377 in other assets. The increase in
assets was a result of net increases of $13,858,010 in deposits, $3,292,621
in securities sold under repurchase agreement, $71,163 in accrued interest,
$15,712 in accrued taxes and other liabilities, and $1,373,985 in common
stock and surplus. These increases were offset by a decrease of $777,293
in retained earnings resulting from year-to-date net income of $923,690
less cash dividends  declared of $321,760 less 10% stock dividend of
$1,379,223. Also, assets and shareholders equity were increased by $434,984
due to a decrease in net unrealized loss on securities available for sale.


Results of Operations
---------------------
    In the second quarter ended June 30, 1995, net income increased by
$47,762 or 9.26% over the second quarter income of 1994. Net interest income
increased by $274,358 or 15.37% as a result of an increase of $682,956 or
23.09% in interest income and an increase of $408,598 or 34.82% in interest
expense. The provision for loan losses decreased by $25,000 or 100.0%. Other
income decreased by $24,922 or 4.49% while other expenses increased by
$265,459 or 17.16%. The income tax provision decreased by $38,785 or 15.46%.

    The six months ended June 30, 1995, resulted in an increased of $98,496
or 11.94% in net income in comparison with the first six months of 1994.
Net interest income increased by $360,562 or 10.34% as a result of an
increase of $1,095,314 or 18.97 % in interest income and $734,752 or 32.13%
in interest expense. The provision for loan losses decreased by $60,000 or
60%. Other income decreased by $3,374 or .33% while other expenses increased
by $295,946 or 9.31%. The income tax provision increased by $22,746 or
5.66%.


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 June 30, 1995,
were 11.38% and 12.63% (Company) and 11.86% and 12.11% (Bank), respectively.
The Company and the Bank's leverage ratios at June 30, 1995, were 7.48%
and 7.14, 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 $1,031,676 in the
first six 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.
