Item 1. Business

(a)   General Development of Business

C  B  & T, Inc. ("C B & T") was incorporated in October, 1981  to
take   advantage  of  the  opportunities  afforded  bank  holding
companies for expansion of banking operations and diversification
into  activities closely related to banking.  In September, 1982,
C B & T commenced operations as a registered bank holding company
and  The  City  Bank  and  Trust Company  became  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of C B & T.  C B & T engages and proposes to engage in
various  business  activities permitted bank  holding  companies,
either  directly, through newly formed subsidiaries,  or  through
acquisitions.   In  1983, the name of The  City  Bank  and  Trust
Company  was  changed to City Bank & Trust Company ("the  Bank").
The  Bank  extended  its services into DeKalb County,  Tennessee,
with  the  July,  1983, acquisition of the assets  of  The  First
Central  Bank,  Smithville, Tennessee, from the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance   Corporation  (the  "FDIC").   The  Bank  subsequently
reopened  the  offices of The First Central Bank  as  the  Bank's
Smithville Branch.

CBT  Realty,  Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation,
was  formed  for  the purpose of holding and  disposing  of  real
estate acquired through foreclosure.

During 1996, the Corporation formed CBT Insurance, Inc., a wholly-
owned  subsidiary of the Corporation, for the purpose of  selling
insurance services.

(b)   Financial Information About Industry Segments

C  B  &  T  is a financial services organization incorporated  in
Tennessee  and registered under the Bank Holding Company  Act  of
1956,  as  amended (the "Bank Holding Company  Act").   The  Bank
which  is  a  wholly-owned subsidiary of C B &  T,  services  the
Warren  County  and  DeKalb  County,  Tennessee  trade  area  and
provides traditional banking services throughout the area.

(c)   Narrative Description of Business

Supervision and Regulation

As  a  registered bank holding company within the meaning of  the
Bank  Holding Company Act, the financial condition and operations
of  C  B  &  T as well as those of its subsidiary are subject  to
examination  and  supervision by the Board of  Governors  of  the
Federal Reserve System (the "Board of Governors").  C B  &  T  is
required to file with the Board of Governors an annual report and
such additional information as may be required.  The Bank Holding
Company Act generally limits the business in which a bank holding
company may engage to banking, managing or controlling banks, and
furnishing or performing services for the banks controlled by it.
The  major  exception to this rule is that, pursuant  to  Section
4(c)(8)  of the Bank Holding Company Act, a bank holding  company
may engage in non-banking activities which, or may acquire shares
in  any  company the activities of which, the Board of  Governors
has  determined, by regulation or order, to be so closely related
to  banking  or managing or controlling banks as to be  a  proper
incident thereto.  The non-banking activities of C B & T and  the
Bank are so limited.

<PAGE> 3



Item 1. Business - Continued

The Bank Holding Company Act requires that a bank holding company
obtain  prior  approval  of the Board  of  Governors  before  (1)
acquiring  directly  or  indirectly (except  in  certain  limited
circumstances) ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
stock of a bank, (2) acquiring substantially all of the assets of
a  bank, or (3) merging or consolidated with another bank holding
company.  The Bank Holding Company Act provides that the Board of
Governors  shall  not  approve any such acquisition,  merger,  or
consolidation:   (a) which would result in a monopoly,  or  which
would  be  in  furtherance of any combination  or  conspiracy  to
monopolize or to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in
any part of the United States; or (b) the effect of which, in any
section   of   the  country,  may  be  to  substantially   lessen
competition,  or to tend to create a monopoly, or  which  in  any
other manner would be in restraint of trade, unless the Board  of
Governors finds that the anti-competitive effects of the proposed
transaction are clearly outweighed in the public interest by  the
probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience and
needs of the community to be served.  In conducting its review of
any  application for approval the Board of Governors is  required
to  consider  the financial and managerial resources  and  future
prospects  of  the company or companies and the banks  concerned,
and the convenience and needs of the community to be served.  The
Bank  Holding  Company Act further requires that consummation  of
approved acquisitions or mergers be delayed for a period  of  not
less  than  30  days following the date of such  approval  during
which  time company parties may obtain a review of the  Board  of
Governors' order by filing a petition praying that the  order  be
set  aside in the United States Court of Appeals for the District
of  Columbia Circuit, or in the Court of Appeals for the  circuit
in  which  the  complaining party has his, her, or its  principal
place  of business.  If no action based on the antitrust laws  is
commenced  before the termination of the thirty-day  period,  the
acquisition  or  merger may not thereafter  be  attacked  in  any
judicial  proceeding on the ground that it alone  and  of  itself
constituted a violation of any antitrust laws other than  Section
2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Except  in  certain circumstances, the Bank Holding  Company  Act
also  prohibits  a  bank holding company from  acquiring  a  bank
outside  the  state  where  the bank  holding  company's  banking
business  is principally conducted, unless the laws of the  state
where  the  bank  is  located specifically,  and  not  merely  by
implication,  authorize such acquisitions  by  out-of-state  bank
holding  companies.   The Tennessee General  Assembly  enacted  a
national  reciprocal  interstate banking act  permitting  banking
combinations  with banking institutions located anywhere  in  the
United States, which became effective January 1, 1991.

Effective September 29, 1995, the Riegle-Neal Interstate  Banking
and  Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("IBBEA") amends  the  Bank
Holding  Company Act of 1956 to permit a bank holding company  to
acquire   a  bank  located  in  any  state,  provided  that   the
acquisition   does  not  result  in  the  bank  holding   company
controlling more than 10% of the deposits in the United States or
30% of deposits in the state in which the bank to be acquired  is
located.   A  state may waive the 30% deposit limitation.   IBBEA
also permits individual states to restrict the ability of an out-
of-state bank holding company or bank to acquire an instate  bank
that  has  been  in  existence for less than five  years  and  to
establish  a state concentration limit of less than 30%  if  such
reduced  limit  does not discriminate against  out-of-state  bank
holding companies or banks.

Effective  June 1, 1997, an "adequately capitalized"  bank,  with
the approval of the appropriate federal banking agency, may merge
with  another adequately capitalized bank in any state  that  has
not  opted  out of interstate branching and operate the  target's
offices  as  branches if certain conditions are  satisfied.   The
same  national (10%) and state (30%) deposit concentration limits
and any applicable state minimum-existence restrictions (up to  a
maximum of five years) apply to
<PAGE> 4





Item 1. Business-Continued


interstate mergers as to interstate acquisitions.  The  applicant
also must comply with any nondiscriminatory host state filing and
notice  requirements and demonstrate a record of compliance  with
applicable  federal  and state community  reinvestment  laws.   A
state  may  opt  out of interstate branching by  enacting  a  law
before  June  1,  1997, expressly prohibiting  interstate  merger
transactions.

Under  IBBEA,  the  resulting bank to an  interstate  merger  may
establish  or  acquire additional branches at any location  in  a
state  where any of the banks involved in the merger  could  have
established or acquired a branch.  A bank also may acquire one or
more  branches of an out-of-state bank if the law of the target's
home  state  permits such action.  In addition, IBBEA  permits  a
bank  to establish a de novo branch in another state if the  host
state by statute expressly permits de novo interstate branching.

IBBEA also permits a bank subsidiary of a bank holding company to
act  as agent for other depository institutions owned by the same
holding company for purposes of receiving deposits, renewing time
deposits, closing or servicing loans, and receiving loan payments
effective  as  of  September 29, 1995.  Under  IBBEA,  a  savings
association  may perform similar agency services  for  affiliated
banks  to  the extent that the savings association was affiliated
with  a  bank  on July 1, 1994, and satisfies certain  additional
requirements.

The  foregoing  provisions  of IBBEA  may  increase  competition,
within  C B & T's existing market area.  It is uncertain  whether
IBBEA  will  make  banks  in  predominantly  rural  markets  like
McMinnville  more  or less attractive acquisition  candidates  of
larger banks and bank holding companies.

The Federal Reserve Act imposes strict limitations on investments
by  subsidiary  banks in the stock or other securities  of  their
parent bank holding company or any of its other subsidiaries  and
on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans
to  any  borrowers.  In addition, the Federal Reserve Act imposes
strict limitations on extensions of credit and other transactions
by  and  between subsidiary banks and their parent  bank  holding
company or any of its other subsidiaries.  The 1974 Amendments to
the  Federal  Reserve  Act also granted the  Board  of  Governors
discretionary  authority  to  regulate  interest  rates  on  debt
obligations  issued by bank holding company affiliates  of  banks
which  are members of the Federal Reserve System.  This authority
does not extend to commercial paper.

The  Bank Holding Company Act, as amended, and regulations of the
Board of Governors thereunder prohibit a bank holding company and
its subsidiaries from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements  in
connection  with  any  extension of credit,  lease,  or  sale  of
property or the furnishing of services.  The Bank Holding Company
Act  requires  that a corporation, partnership, trust,  or  other
specified  entity obtain prior approval of the Board of Governors
before taking any action that causes the corporation to become  a
bank  holding company, which may occur if it acquires  ownership,
control, or the power to vote 25% or more of any class of  voting
securities of a bank, or if it otherwise controls the election of
a  majority  of  the directors of the bank, or if  the  Board  of
Governors  determines  that it exercises a controlling  influence
over  the management or policies of the bank.  Although the  Bank
Holding Company Act does not apply to the acquisition of  a  bank
by  an  individual, any individual or group of individuals acting
in  concert  that proposes to acquire control of a  bank  insured
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or the control of a  bank
holding  company that has control of any such insured bank,  must
provide sixty days prior

<PAGE> 5



Item 1. Business-Continued


written  notice to the appropriate federal banking agency,  which
may  disapprove  the  proposed  action  under  certain  standards
specified in the Change in Bank Control Act.  For purposes of the
Change in Bank Control Act, control means the power to direct the
management or policies of the bank or to vote 25% or more of  any
class  of  voting  securities of the bank.  Bank holding  company
acquisitions  of  banks  and bank holding companies  pursuant  to
certain  provisions of the Bank Holding Company  Act  are  exempt
from the Change in Bank Control Act.


Tennessee Bank Holding Company Regulation

C  B  & T is prohibited under Tennessee law from acquiring a bank
outside  the  four  major metropolitan areas  (Shelby,  Davidson,
Knox,   and   Hamilton  Counties  in  which  Memphis,  Nashville,
Knoxville, and Chattanooga are located, respectively) unless  the
bank  has  been  incorporated more  than  five  years  or  is  in
financial  difficulty as determined by the appropriate regulatory
agency  and  the  regulatory agency approves the acquisition.   A
bank  holding company is prohibited from acquiring any  Tennessee
bank if the holding company's banks control as much as 16 1/2% of
the   total   deposits   in  all  federally   insured   financial
institutions in Tennessee.  Tennessee banking laws permit a  bank
to  serve  as  the  agent of another bank  for  the  purposes  of
accepting deposits, loan payments, or other payments of funds  on
behalf  of  the  bank  without regard to  the  locations  of  the
respective  banks.  Under Tennessee law, banks may branch  state-
wide,  subject  in  certain instances  to  the  approval  by  the
Tennessee Commissioner of Financial Institutions.

The Bank

The  operations of the Bank are affected by various  requirements
and restrictions imposed by the laws of the United States and the
State  of  Tennessee, including requirements to maintain reserves
against deposits, limitations on the interest rates that  may  be
paid on various types of deposits, and restrictions on the nature
and  amount  of  loans that may be granted and on  the  types  of
investments  that may be made.  The operations of  the  Bank  are
also affected by various consumer laws and regulations, including
those  relating  to  equal credit opportunity and  regulation  of
consumer  lending  practices.  All subsidiary  banks  of  a  bank
holding  company must become and remain insured banks  under  the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

The Bank is chartered under the banking laws of Tennessee and, as
such  is  subject  to  the applicable provisions  of  such  laws.
Tennessee  banks are required to maintain certain  cash  reserves
either directly or indirectly.  As a member of the FDIC, the Bank
is  subject  to  the provisions of the Federal Deposit  Insurance
Act.  The bank, as a state bank whose deposits are insured by the
FDIC, may not engage as principal in any type of activity that is
impermissible for a national bank, unless the FDIC has determined
that  the  activity  would  not pose a significant  risk  to  the
deposit  insurance  fund  and the Bank meets  applicable  capital
standards.   The  Bank  is  subject to  supervision  and  regular
examination  by  the  FDIC  and by the  Tennessee  Department  of
Financial  Institutions.  A Tennessee bank may declare  dividends
not  more  than once in each calendar quarter from its  undivided
profits account.

<PAGE> 6



Item 1. Business-Continued


Community Investment

The   Bank   is  subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  Community
Reinvestment  Act  ("CRA").  Under  this  Act,  the  Bank  has  a
continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with  safe  and
sound  operation,  to help meet the credit needs  of  its  entire
community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods.   The
CRA  does not establish specific lending requirements or programs
for  financial  institutions, nor does it limit an  institution's
discretion to develop the types of products and services that  it
believes  are best suited to its particular community, consistent
with the CRA.  The CRA requires the FDIC, in connection with  its
examination  of the Bank, to assess the institution's  record  of
meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record
into  account  in its evaluation of certain applications  by  the
Bank.  Information  concerning  the  Bank's  CRA  rating  can  be
obtained  by contacting its main office at 101 East Main  Street,
McMinnville, TN 37110.

Restrictions on Dividends Paid by Subsidiary Banks

Substantially  all  of the funds available  for  the  payment  of
dividends by C B & T are derived from the Bank.  Both federal and
state laws impose restrictions on the ability of the Bank to  pay
dividends.

The  Tennessee banking statutes provide that the directors  of  a
state  bank,  after making proper deduction for all expenditures,
expenses, taxes, losses, bad debts, and any write-offs  or  other
deductions  required  by the Department of Finance  Institutions,
may  credit net profits to the bank's undivided profits  account,
and therefrom may quarterly, semi-annually, or annually declare a
dividend  in  such  amount as they shall  judge  expedient  after
deducting  any  net loss from the undivided profits  account  and
transferring  to the bank's surplus account (1)  the  amount  (if
any)  required  to raise the surplus to 50% of the capital  stock
and  (2)  an amount, not less than 10% of net profits, until  the
surplus  equals  the capital stock, provided that  the  bank  has
adequately reserved against deposits and such reserve will not be
impaired  by the declaration of the dividend. A state bank,  with
the  approval  of  the Department of Financial Institutions,  may
transfer funds from its surplus account to the undivided  profits
account or any part of its capital stock account.

The  payment  of  dividends by any bank is, of course,  dependent
upon its earnings and financial condition and, in addition to the
limitations referred to above, is subject to the statutory  power
of  certain  federal  and state regulatory  agencies  to  act  to
prevent unsafe or unsound banking practices.

Usury Provisions

The  Constitution  of the State of Tennessee requires  the  state
legislature to fix interest rates in the State of Tennessee.  The
Tennessee  General  Assembly  has  adopted  such  statutes.   The
general  interest rate statutes currently in effect  establish  a
maximum rate of interest at 4% above the average prime loan  rate
(or   the   average  short-term  business  loan   rate,   however
denominated) for the most recent week for which such average rate
has  been  published by the Board of Governors or 24% per  annum,
whichever  is  lower.  In the event that the Board  of  Governors
fails  to publish the average rate for four consecutive weeks  or
the  maximum  rate  of interest should be adjudicated  or  become
inapplicable  for  any reason whatsoever,  the  maximum  rate  of
interest is denied to be

<PAGE> 7




Item 1. Business - Continued


24% until the Tennessee General Assembly otherwise provides.   As
of  December 31, 1996, the maximum effective rate in the state of
Tennessee was 12.5%.

Although  the  statutory maximum effective rate in the  state  of
Tennessee  as  of  December 31, 1996,  was  12.5%,  decisions  by
Federal  District  Courts  have  held  that  notwithstanding  the
general interest rate statutes described above, the maximum  rate
of  interest that a state bank may charge is 24%, at  least  with
respect  to  the types of loans that a Tennessee industrial  loan
and  thrift company registered under the provisions of  Tennessee
law  would have been authorized to make.  In general, a Tennessee
industrial  loan  and  thrift company  is  authorized  to  charge
interest  at  a  rate  of 24% on loans of $100  or  more.   These
Federal District Court decisions have observed that under federal
law,  a  national  bank can charge interest at the  highest  rate
allowed  by  state  law in the state where the national  bank  is
located  and  held that a national bank in Tennessee  can  charge
interest  at  the  same rate as a Tennessee industrial  loan  and
thrift company.

Tennessee banking laws permit a state bank to make loans upon the
same  terms  and  at  the  maximum  effective  interest  rate  as
authorized  on  credit extended by national banks  in  Tennessee.
These decisions held that a state bank in Tennessee therefore can
charge  the same rate of interest as a Tennessee industrial  loan
and thrift company.

The  relative  importance  of the usury  laws  to  the  financial
operations  of  C B & T and the Bank varies from  time  to  time,
depending  on  a number of factors, including conditions  in  the
money  markets,  the  cost  and the availability  of  funds,  and
prevailing interest rates.  The management of  C B & T is  unable
to  state  whether existing usury laws have had or  will  have  a
material adverse effect on the business or earnings of C B & T or
the Bank.

Competition

The  banking business in the areas served by the Bank  is  highly
competitive.   Competition  exists  with  other  area  banks  for
deposits,  loans,  and  trust accounts,  and  with  larger  banks
located  in  some  of the principal cities within  Tennessee  and
certain  other  states for commercial loans and  trust  services.
The   Bank  also  competes  for  funds  with  savings  and   loan
associations  and certain government agencies  and  in  the  open
money  market.   Competition also exists  for  loans  from  other
financial institutions, such as savings banks, savings  and  loan
associations,  insurance companies, small loan companies,  credit
unions, and certain governmental agencies.

Subsidiary

City Bank & Trust Company

The  Bank commenced operations in 1912 as a state chartered  bank
under  the  laws of the State of Tennessee.  In September,  1982,
the Bank, pursuant to a corporate reorganization, became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of C B & T, a one-bank holding company.

On  July  8,  1983, the Bank acquired certain assets and  assumed
certain  liabilities  of  The  First  Central  Bank,  Smithville,
Tennessee,  which commenced operations as the City Bank  &  Trust
Company, Smithville Branch, on July 11, 1983, which extended  the
Banks services into DeKalb County in addition to Warren County.

<PAGE> 8




Item 1. Business - Continued


The  Bank  conducts a full service banking and trust business  in
Warren  County  and DeKalb County, Tennessee.   The  Bank's  main
office  is located in McMinnville, Warren County, Tennessee,  and
the  Bank  operates  a full service branch in Smithville,  DeKalb
County, Tennessee.  There are four banks, including the Bank, one
federal  savings bank, one federal savings and loan  association,
and  one federal credit union within Warren County, which  has  a
population  of  approximately  33,000.   DeKalb  County   has   a
population  of approximately 14,400 and is served by four  banks,
including  the  Bank's  Smithville  Branch.   Both  counties  are
centers  of  a  diversified commercial, industrial, agricultural,
and tourism area.

The  Bank  offers such customary commercial banking  services  as
checking  and  savings accounts, certificates  of  deposit,  safe
deposit facilities and money transfers.  Its principal source  of
income   is   from  interest  earned  on  personal,   commercial,
agricultural, real estate, and installment loans.

The  Bank's  Trust  Department acts  as  trustee,  executor,  and
administrator under wills, and serves in trustee, conservator, VA
guardian,  and  agent  capacities for  individual  and  corporate
customers. It functions as trustee under bond indentures, as well
as  trustee and administrator under pension, IRA, SEPP, and other
employee  benefit plans for corporations and other organizations.
The Bank handles approximately 564 individual and corporate trust
accounts,  and  provides investment management and other  related
services.    The   Bank's   Trust  Department   had   assets   of
approximately  $70,661,500 under management as  of  December  31,
1996.   These  assets are not included as assets in  the  balance
sheet of the Bank or C B & T.

Employees

C  B  &  T,  including the Bank, has approximately 122 employees,
which  includes  4  part-time  employees.   Four  of  the  Bank's
officers  are  also  officers of C B &  T.  None  of  the  Bank's
employees are covered by a collective-bargaining agreement.

  To Our Shareholders and Friends,
  
  
                                                                


  The year 1996 marked another good year in the continuation of
  successful progress and profitability for C B & T, Inc. and its
  subsidiaries City Bank & Trust Company.  I encourage you to
  review the enclosed financial information.  We will be happy to
  answer any questions you may have, as well as listen to any
  suggestions for improvement.
  
  Earnings continued to remain strong as Return on Assets for
  1996 was 1.60%, this generated $15.37 per share annual income.
  During 1996, $6.50 was paid in cash dividends. This was
  equivalent to 42.29% of net income.  I am very pleased to
  report to you, assuming that the value of your investment in C
  B & T, Inc. was $100 at December 31, 1991, it would have grown
  to $344 at December 31, 1996.  This compares to $298 for
  regional banks and $244 for the S & P 500.
  
  In addition to the progress made by the bank, I am very pleased
  to advise you that the Trust/Investment Department has
  continued to progress beyond our expectations. This department
  reported a record high growth in excess of $70 million at year
  end, which is an increase of $11 million in 1996.
  
  We are continually working to provide the very best in
  financial service to our trade area.  This past year many
  enhancements were made:
  
     Our business customers were offered a Cash Management Investment
     Account.  This program offers business customers an efficient means of
     managing their daily funds and earning a fair return on excess cash
     through the use of repurchase agreements of U.S. Government
     Securities.

     We rolled out our new 24-Hour Telephone Banking service, that
     offers voice response information to our customers, day or night.  We
     followed that offering with Loans-by-Phone, that gives our customers
     an opportunity to apply for a loan 24 hours a day.  The numbers to
     access either of these services are (615) 473-2148, (615) 597-4178,
     (615) 563-2002 or 1-888-473-2147.
  
     We opened our new SuperCenter Branch in the Wal-Mart Super Store
     facility in McMinnville.  This full service branch greatly expands the
     banking opportunities for our customers and increases our ability to
     meet the banking needs of our community through extended banking
     hours.  It also offers a 24-hour full service ATM in a safe and secure
     environment.
  
<PAGE> 2
     
  
  
  
  
  
     A full service ATM was installed in the new Columbia River Park
     Hospital.  Our presence in this facility again expands our service
     capabilities.

     We installed a cash dispenser in the CYC (Calsonic Yorozu
     Corporation) plant in Morrison, Tennessee.  This equipment offers many
     of the features of our full service ATM.  We expect to make available
     more automated facilities in the near future.
  
     In November, we purchased the former H.G. Hill property adjacent
     to our West Main Branch.  This purchase will give us the opportunity
     to expand our West Main facility and also gives us the opportunity to
     begin planning the relocation of our Operations Center.  This
     expansion will improve efficiencies in our operations and will free
     space in our main office building for future growth.
  
     The Board of Directors approved the organization of two new
     companies during 1996.  CBT Insurance, Inc. was organized to provide
     the bank new opportunities in the insurance arena and is already
     generating some revenue from the sale of life insurance.  CBT Realty,
     Inc. was organized for the purpose of holding and disposing of
     foreclosed properties, but did not have any activity in 1996.
  
  The challenge for management is to keep pace with changes and
  opportunities while maintaining our identity as a high
  performing community bank fulfilling our motto of  "People
  Helping People."  It is our desire to continue our commitment
  to our customers and trade area.  We take community involvement
  and leadership seriously, and management believes that our
  continued success lies in remaining community based.
  
  Thanks to you -- our shareholders and friends for your
  business; our staff for their excellent performance; management
  for their leadership and commitment; and the board of directors
  for their participation and guidance.
  
  We encourage you to take advantage of our many services and we
  hope that you will recommend them to your family and friends.
  
  Yours truly,
  
  
  
  Jeffrey A. Golden
  Chairman of the Board
  President and Chief Executive Officer

Financial Discussion



The  following discussion is presented to assist in understanding  the
current financial condition and results of operations of C B & T, Inc.
and  subsidiaries.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the   consolidated   financial  statements  and  related   disclosures
presented in other sections of this annual report.


PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

Net  income  for 1996 was $4,117,000 or $15.37 per share, compared  to
$4,067,000  or $15.00 per share in 1995 and $4,260,000 or  $14.37  per
share  in  1994.   Two  key  measures of performance  in  the  banking
industry  are  return on average equity (ROE) and  return  on  average
assets   (ROA).   ROE  is  the  ratio  of  income  earned  to  average
shareholders'  equity.   ROE for 1996 was 13.76  percent  compared  to
14.37  percent  in 1995 and 15.12 percent in 1994.  ROA  measures  how
effectively  a  corporation uses its assets to produce earnings.   For
1996, return on average assets was 1.60 percent.  ROA was 1.64 percent
in  1995  and 1.68 percent in 1994.  ROE and ROA have been  negatively
impacted by an increase in the net loan charge offs in 1996.


NET INTEREST INCOME

The  Corporation's primary source of earnings is net interest  income,
which  is the difference between revenue generated from earning assets
and   the interest cost of funding those assets.  For discussion,  net
interest  income is adjusted to reflect the effect of the tax benefits
of  certain  tax-exempt investments and loans to  compare  with  other
sources  of interest income.  Net interest income on a fully  taxable-
equivalent   basis  has  increased  to  $11,903,000  in   1996,   from
$11,334,000  in 1995 and $12,073,000 in 1994.  Net yield  on  interest
earning assets, which is net interest income on a tax equivalent basis
divided  by average earning assets, was 4.93 percent in 1996, compared
with  4.87 percent in 1995 and 5.07 percent for 1994.  Average earning
assets,  as a percentage of total assets, decreased slightly  to  93.8
percent  in 1996 compared to 93.9 percent in 1995 and 93.8 percent  in
1994.


PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The  provision  for  possible  loan losses  is  an  operating  expense
recorded to maintain the related balance sheet allowance account  that
is  provided to cover losses that may be incurred in the normal course
of lending.  The total provision for possible loan losses was $628,000
in  1996, $376,000 in 1995 and $330,000 in 1994.  Management regularly
monitors the allowance for possible loan losses and considers it to be
adequate.


NONINTEREST INCOME

Total  noninterest income of $2,058,000 in 1996 increased $242,000  or
13.3 percent, when compared to 1995.  This follows an increase of 35.5
percent  in  1995  and a decrease of 22.7 percent  in  1994.   Service
charges   on  deposit  accounts  increased  $147,000  in   1996   due,
principally,  to  growth in transaction and savings  deposit  accounts
coupled  with  price  increases.  Gains and  losses  on  the  sale  of
investment  securities also impact comparisons.  Security transactions
resulted in losses of $22,000, $14,000 and $308,000 in 1996, 1995, and
1994.


NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest expenses increased 5.6 percent in 1996, a slightly  higher
rate of growth than the 3.2 percent in 1995 and lower than 6.5 percent
in  1994.  The increase in 1996 can be attributed to higher levels  of
expense  relative to salaries.  Salaries, wages and benefits accounted
for  56.5  percent of total noninterest expense in 1996,  compared  to
56.0  percent  in 1995 and 54.1 percent in 1994.  These increases  are
primarily  attributable to the increased cost of  benefits  and  merit
raises.   Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's insurance assessment
decreased  $240,000 in 1996 as compared to a decrease of  $235,000  in
1995 and an increase of $5,000 in 1994.

Financial Discussion



INCOME TAXES

One element of the Corporation's tax planning is the implementation of
various  investment and loan strategies to maximize after-tax profits.
This planning is an ongoing process which considers the levels of tax-
exempt securities and loans, investment securities gains or losses and
allowable  loan  loss deductions.  The Corporation's effective  income
tax rate (income tax expense divided by income before income taxes) is
less  than  the  statutory rate primarily due to income on  tax-exempt
securities and loans.  It should be recognized that the yield on these
types of assets is considerably less than on other investments of  the
same maturity and risk.

The  income  tax  provision  was $1,856,000  in  1996,  compared  with
$1,788,000   in  1995  and  $1,944,000  in  1994.   The  Corporation's
effective tax rate was 31.1 percent in 1996, 30.5 percent in 1995  and
31.3 percent in 1994.

It  has  been determined that for the year ended December 31, 1996,  a
valuation allowance is not required on any of the deferred tax  assets
recorded  due,  primarily, to the earnings history of the  Corporation
and  the  significant  amount of federal income taxes  paid  in  prior
years.


CREDIT QUALITY AND EXPERIENCE

Impaired Loans

Effective  January  1,  1995, the Corporation  and  the  Bank  adopted
Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114.  (as amended  by
No  118),  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan".    SFAS
114  established the accounting by creditors for impairment of a  loan
by  specifying  how  allowances for possible loan  losses  related  to
certain loans should be determined.  This Statement also addresses the
accounting by creditors for certain loans that are restructured  in  a
troubled debt restructuring.  A loan is considered impaired when it is
probable that an institution will be unable to collect all amounts due
(principal  and interest) according to the contractual  terms  of  the
loan  agreement.   Management  evaluates smaller  balance  homogeneous
loans  collectively for impairment.  Loans collateralized  by  one-to-
four  family  residential properties, consumer installment  loans  and
credit card loans are considered smaller-balance homogeneous loans.

Loans  that  are  ninety days past-due, loans on  non-accrual  status,
loans  that  are  restructured in a troubled debt  restructuring,  and
loans  that are included on the Bank's problem loan list are evaluated
for  impairment.   A loan on non-accrual status is  a  loan  on  which
interest   accruals   are   discontinued.    Interest   accruals   are
discontinued when management believes, after considering economic  and
business  conditions  and  collection  efforts,  that  the  borrower's
financial  condition is such that it is not reasonable to expect  that
such  interest  will  be collected.  Interest income  is  subsequently
recognized only to the extent of the excess of cash payments  received
over the principal balance due.

When a loan is impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on
the  present  value  of expected future cash flows discounted  at  the
loan's  effective  interest  rate.  For  collateral  dependent  loans,
impairment  is measured based on a loan's observable market  price  or
the  fair  value  of  the  collateral.  The Bank  does  not  recognize
interest  income  on  impaired loans. The entire  change  in  the  net
carrying  amount  is reported as an adjustment to  the  provision  for
possible  loan losses, but in no event are changes in the net  present
value  used  to justify having a loan on the Bank's books at  a  value
that  exceeds its recorded investment.  Impaired loans are charged-off
once management has exhausted all efforts to collect the loan.

Inherent  in the business of providing financial services is the  risk
involved in extending credit.  Management believes the objective of  a
sound  credit  policy is to extend quality loans  to  customers  while
reducing  risk  affecting  shareholders' and depositors'  investments.
Risk reduction is achieved through diversity of the loan portfolio  as
to  type, borrower, and industry concentration as well as sound credit
policy guidelines and procedures.

Total impaired loans at December 31, 1996 were $1,280,000 compared  to
$398,000  at  December 31, 1995 and $1,825,000 at December  31,  1994.
The  ratio  of  impaired loans to the allowance  for  loan  losses  at
December 31, 1996, was 66.3 percent compared to 21.4 percent and 105.3
percent  at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Total  impaired
loans  as  a  percentage of total loans increased to  0.9  percent  at
December  31, 1996, compared to 0.3 percent at December 31,  1995  and
1.4 percent at December 31, 1994.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses and Loan Charge-Offs

The  allowance  for possible loan losses is the reserve maintained  to
cover  losses  that may be incurred in the normal course  of  lending.
The  allowance  for  possible loan losses is increased  by  provisions
charged against income and recoveries of loans previously charged off.
The  allowance is decreased by loans that are determined uncollectible
by management and charged against the allowance, net of recoveries.

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses,
management on a regular basis evaluates and gives consideration to the
following  factors:   estimated future  losses  of  significant  loans
including identified problem credits; historical loss experience based
on volume and types of loans; trends in portfolio volume, maturity and
composition;  off-balance  sheet credit risk;  volume  and  trends  in
delinquencies  and  non-accruals; economic conditions  in  the  market
area; and any other relevant factors that may be pertinent.

Potential problem loans are those loans which are on the Corporation's
"watch  list".  These loans exhibit characteristics that  could  cause
the  loans to become impaired or require restructuring in the  future.
Periodically, and at a minimum monthly, this "watch list' is  reviewed
and adjusted for changing conditions.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following discussions address key elements of financial condition,
including  earning  assets,  the source of  funds  supporting  earning
assets, capital adequacy and asset and liability management.


EARNING ASSETS

Loans

At  December 31, 1996, loans were $144.9 million, compared  to  $140.5
million  at  December 31, 1995.  This represents an  increase  of  3.1
percent  in  1996.  In 1995, loans increased 8.5 percent  from  $129.5
million at December 31, 1994.

Loans  comprise  the  majority  of the  Corporation's  earning  assets
representing 57.4 percent of average earning assets in 1996  and  56.5
percent  in 1995.  Average loans outstanding increased 5.1 percent  in
1996 and 12.5 percent in 1995.

The  largest  category in the loan portfolio was real estate  mortgage
loans, which comprised 66.5 percent of total loans at the end of 1996.
Installment   loans  totaled  22.1  percent  of  the   portfolio   and
commercial, financial and agricultural loans comprised 9.4 percent  of
the portfolio.  All other loans were 2.0 percent of the portfolio.  In
1995,  real  estate  mortgages were 63.8  percent  of  the  portfolio,
installment  loans  were  21.9  percent,  commercial,  financial   and
agricultural loans were 12.5 percent and other loans were 1.8 percent.

The mix within the commercial loan portfolio is diverse and represents
loans  to  a  broad  range of business interests  located,  primarily,
within the Bank's defined market area with agribusiness industry being
the  only  concentration.  The installment loan portfolio is composed,
principally,  of  financing to individuals for vehicles  and  consumer
assets.  The real estate portfolio is primarily residential mortgages.

Loans that mature within one year totaled $50,377,000, or 34.8 percent
of the loan portfolio at December 31, 1996.

Investment Securities

The  investment portfolio represented 40.4 percent of average  earning
assets   in  1996  and  41.3  percent  in  1995.   Average  investment
securities increased 1.4 percent in 1996 compared to 1995.   The  tax-
equivalent  yield  on  the entire portfolio was 6.96,  7.01  and  6.75
percent  in  1996,  1995  and 1994, respectively.   These  investments
provide a stable yet diversified income stream and serve useful  roles
in  liquidity and interest-rate-sensitivity management.  In  addition,
they  serve  as  a  source of collateral for  low-cost  funding.   The
decision  to  purchase  securities is based  upon  the  assessment  of
current economic, tax status and financial trends.

Financial Discussion



The  investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury and other U.S.
Government  agency-backed  securities, collateralized  mortgage-backed
securities,   tax-exempt   obligations   of   states   and   political
subdivisions   and  certain  other  investments.    The   quality   of
obligations  of states and political subdivisions will be  A,  AA,  or
AAA,  the  majority of which is AA or AAA, as rated  by  a  nationally
recognized service.  As a matter of policy, in support of our  service
area,  we  may  purchase certain unrated bonds of local municipalities
provided they are of reasonable credit risk.

On  November 15, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
a  guide  for the implementation of SFAS 115 which allowed a  bank  to
reassess  the appropriateness of the classification of all  securities
held at November 15, 1995 and until December 31, 1995, and account for
any  resulting changes in classifications as a transfer.   Changes  in
classification  from the held-to-maturity category  that  result  from
this one-time reassessment did not call into question the intent of  a
bank  to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future.   As  a
result  of this one-time reassessment, on November 30, 1995, the  Bank
transferred  securities  with  a book  value  of  approximately  $42.8
million and related unrealized gains and losses of approximately  $0.8
million  and  $0.2  million,  respectively  (net  unrealized  gain  of
approximately  $0.6 million), from held-to-maturity to  available-for-
sale.

As  of December 31, 1996, all investment securities were classified as
available-for-sale.  Management classified all securities as available-
for-sale  so  that securities may be sold prior to their maturity  for
purposes of bank asset allocations, rate sensitivity or liquidity and,
hence, tend to be more liquid.

Federal Funds Sold

Federal funds sold are used to manage interest rate sensitivity and to
meet  liquidity  needs.   During 1996,  1995  and  1994,  these  funds
represented  approximately 2.2 percent, 2.2 percent and  0.7  percent,
respectively, of average earning assets.


SOURCES OF FUNDS

Deposits

The  Corporation's major source of investable funds is  core  deposits
from retail and business customers.  Core deposits consist of interest-
bearing  and  noninterest-bearing deposits, including certificates  of
deposit   over  $100,000.   Average  interest-bearing  core  deposits,
comprised of interest-bearing checking accounts, savings, certificates
of  deposit,  money  market  and other time  accounts,  increased  5.0
percent  in  1996, compared to 5.3 percent reduction in 1995  and  1.1
percent  growth in 1994.  Average demand deposits (noninterest-bearing
core deposits) increased 0.8 percent in 1996, 10.3 percent in 1995 and
9.5  percent in 1994.  These deposits represent approximately 12.6 and
13.1 percent of average core deposits in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings

In  1996 these average borrowings decreased slightly to 2.6 percent of
average assets compared to 4.0 percent in 1995.

Shareholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy

Shareholders' equity is a stable, noninterest-bearing source of  funds
which  provides support for asset growth and is the primary  component
of  capital.  Capital adequacy refers to the level of capital required
to  sustain  growth  over   time and to absorb  unanticipated  losses.
Shareholders'  equity  at December 31, 1996,  was  $32.2  million,  or
$121.85  per share, compared with $30.7 million, or $113.92 per  share
at  December  31,  1995  and $26.6 million, or  $97.61  per  share  at
December  31, 1994.  At December 31, 1996, the Corporation's  leverage
ratio was 12.2 percent.  At December 31, 1996, the Corporation's risk-
based  capital  ratios based on Federal Reserve Board guidelines  were
21.4 percent for Tier 1, or "core" capital, and 22.7 percent for total
qualifying capital.  At December 31, 1995, the Corporation's  leverage
ratio was 11.9 percent.  At December 31, 1995, the Corporation's risk-
based  capital  ratios based on Federal Reserve Board guidelines  were
21.0  percent for Tier 1 or "core" capital at 22.3 percent for  tested
qualifying  capital.  These ratios substantially  exceed  the  Federal
Reserve Board's capital guidelines for a well-capitalized institution,
which  are 6.00 percent for Tier 1, 10.00 percent for total qualifying
capital,  and  5.00  percent for leverage ratio.  It  is  management's
intent  to  maintain  a  level  of  capitalization  that  allows   the
flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that may arise  in  the
future.

Financial Discussion



INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Balance sheet structure and interest rate changes play important roles
in  the  growth  of  net interest income.  The Bank's  Asset/Liability
Committee manages the overall rate sensitivity and mix of the  balance
sheet  to  anticipate  and  minimize  the  effects  of  interest  rate
fluctuations  and  to  maintain  a  consistent  net  interest  margin.
Interest rate risk is monitored through gap analysis to ensure  proper
positioning of the Corporation in various interest rate scenarios.


LIQUIDITY

Liquidity  management  ensures  that the  cash  flow  requirements  of
borrowers, depositors and the Corporation can be met.  The  funds  for
short-term  liquidity needs are provided through maturing  securities,
the Bank's extensive core deposit base, payments received on loans and
the   acquisition  of  new  deposits.   Long-term  funding  needs  can
additionally  be  met,  if required, through the  issuance  of  common
stock.  The Corporation's liquidity is considered by management to  be
adequate to meet all current and projected levels of need.


IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ON THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHEN ADOPTED IN A FUTURE PERIOD

The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  has  issued  one
standard  that  has  not been adopted by C B & T,  Inc.  but  will  be
required to be adopted after December 31, 1996 as follows:

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, Accounting
   for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
   Extinguishments of Liabilities.

        (a)  Effective prospectively for transfers and servicing
        of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities
        occurring after December 31, 1996.

        (b)  The statement supersedes statement No. 122,
        Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, which was effective
        for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1995.

        (c)  The statement will eliminate the distinction
        between servicing rights based on normal servicing fees and
        excess servicing fees and will generally reclassify the cash
        flows associated with those assets into new type servicing
        assets.

        (d)  Management does not believe this statement will
        have any material effect on future issues.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





Shareholders and Board of Directors
C B & T, Inc.
McMinnville, Tennessee


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of C
B  &  T,  Inc.  (the  "Corporation") and its wholly-owned  subsidiary,
principally City Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank"), as of December 31,
1996  and  1995,  and the related consolidated statements  of  income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on  these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.   The
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows
of C B & T, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1994
were  audited by other auditors whose report dated January 18, 1995,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.   An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.   We believe that our audits provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In  our opinion, the 1996 and 1995 financial statements referred
to  above  present fairly, in all material respects, the  consolidated
financial  position of C B & T, Inc. and subsidiaries as  of  December
31,  1996  and 1995, and the consolidated results of their  operations
and  their  cash  flows for the years then ended  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

      As  discussed  in  Notes  1 and 2 to the consolidated  financial
statements,  effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation and  the  Bank
changed their method of accounting for investments in debt and  equity
securities. Also, as discussed in Notes 1 and 3, effective January  1,
1995,  the  Corporation and the Bank adopted the method of  accounting
for  impaired  loans  prescribed by Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 114, as amended by No. 118.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  
                              DECEMBER 31, 1996
   
   
   
   NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  
     Nature of Business
     C  B & T, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a one-bank holding company
     formed  in  1981, with a wholly-owned subsidiary,  City  Bank  &
     Trust  Company, McMinnville, Tennessee (the "Bank").  The  Bank,
     which  is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
     and  Tennessee  Department of Financial  Institutions,  provides
     deposit   services   and   grants   real   estate,   commercial,
     agricultural and consumer loans to customers primarily in Warren
     and DeKalb counties of Tennessee.
     
     CBT  Realty, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation,
     was  formed  for  the purpose of holding and disposing  of  real
     estate acquired through foreclosure.
     
     During  1996,  the  Corporation formed CBT  Insurance,  Inc.,  a
     wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, for the  purpose  of
     selling insurance services.
     
     The  accounting principles followed and the methods of  applying
     those  principles  conform  with generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  and  to  general practices in the banking  industry.
     The significant policies are summarized as follow:
     
     Principles of Consolidation
     The  accompanying consolidated financial statements present  the
     accounts  and  operations  of  the  Corporation  and  the  Bank.
     Material  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have   been
     eliminated in consolidation.
     
     Cash and Due from Banks
     Reserve  requirements amounted to approximately $1.4 million  at
     December 31, 1996 and 1995.
     
     Cash Equivalents
     Cash  equivalents  include  amounts due  from  banks,  interest-
     bearing  deposits  in  other  banks  and  federal  funds   sold.
     Generally,  federal  funds are purchased  or  sold  for  one-day
     periods.
     
     Investment Securities
     Effective  January  1,  1994, the Bank adopted  and  implemented
     Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No.115 (SFAS  115),
     "Accounting   for  Certain  Investments  in  Debt   and   Equity
     Securities",  which requires that securities be  categorized  as
     held-to-maturity,  available-for-sale, and  trading  securities.
     In   accordance  with  the  Statement,  prior  period  financial
     statements were not restated to reflect the change in accounting
     principle.   The  cumulative effect as of  January  1,  1994  of
     adopting  Statement 115 was an increase in shareholders'  equity
     of  $2.011  million  (net of $1.232 million in  deferred  income
     taxes)  to  reflect  the  net  unrealized  gains  on  securities
     classified as available for sale that were previously carried at
     amortized cost.
   
    On  November  15, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards  Board
    issued  a guide for the implementation of SFAS 115 which  allowed
    a  bank to reassess the appropriateness of the classification  of
    all  securities held at November 15, 1995 and until December  31,
    1995,  and  account for any resulting changes in  classifications
    as  a  transfer.   Changes in classification  from  the  held-to-
    maturity  category  that result from this  one-time  reassessment
    did  not  call into question the intent of a bank to  hold  other
    debt  securities to maturity in the future.  As a result of  this
    one-time   reassessment,  on  November   30,   1995,   the   Bank
    transferred  securities with a book value of approximately  $42.8
    million  and related unrealized gains and losses of approximately
    $0.8  million and $0.2 million, respectively (net unrealized gain
    of   approximately   $0.6  million),  from  held-to-maturity   to
    available-for-sale.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 Investment Securities (Continued)
 Trading Securities
 Debt  and equity securities held principally for resale in the  near
 term  are  classified as trading account securities and recorded  at
 their  fair values.  Unrealized gains and losses on trading  account
 securities are recognized currently.
 
 Securities Held-to-Maturity
 Debt  securities which the Bank has the positive intent and  ability
 to  hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and
 discounts that are recognized in interest income using the  interest
 method over the period to maturity.
 
 Securities Available-for-Sale
 Securities  not  classified  as  trading  or  held-to-maturity   are
 classified  as  available-for-sale.  Unrealized  holding  gains  and
 losses,   net   of  deferred  income  taxes,  on  available-for-sale
 securities  are  netted  and reported as  a  separate  component  of
 shareholders' equity until realized.  Realized gains and  losses  on
 the  sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using  the
 specific-identification method.
 
 Restricted Equity Securities
 Federal  Home Loan Bank and First Community L.P. stock are classified
 as a restricted equity security and included in other assets.
 
 Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale and held-
 to-maturity  securities  below  their  cost  that  are   other   than
 temporary  result  in  write-downs of the  individual  securities  to
 their  fair value.  The related write-downs are included in  earnings
 as realized losses.
 
 Loans
 Loans  receivable that management has the intent and ability to  hold
 for  the  foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported
 at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-
 offs  or specific valuation accounts and net of any deferred fees  or
 costs  on  originated  loans.   Loan  origination  fees  and  certain
 related direct costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment  of
 the  yield on the interest method.  Interest on commercial loans  and
 real  estate  mortgage loans is recognized as  income  based  on  the
 daily  loan  principal amounts outstanding.  Interest on  direct  and
 indirect  installment loans is recognized using the  interest  method
 or  the  Rule  of 78's method which provides substantially  the  same
 results as the interest method.
 
 Effective  January  1,  1995, the Corporation and  the  Bank  adopted
 Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (as  amended  by
 No.  118), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan".   SFAS
 114  establishes the accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan
 by  specifying  how  allowances for possible loan losses  related  to
 certain  loans  should be determined.  This Statement also  addresses
 the  accounting by creditors for certain loans that are  restructured
 in  a  troubled  debt  restructuring.  A loan is considered  impaired
 when  it  is  probable that an institution will be unable to  collect
 all   amounts   due  (principal  and  interest)  according   to   the
 contractual  terms of the loan agreement. The Bank evaluates  smaller
 balance   homogeneous  loans  collectively  for  impairment.    Loans
 collateralized   by   one-to-four  family   residential   properties,
 consumer  installment  loans and credit  card  loans  are  considered
 smaller-balance homogeneous loans.
 
 When  a loan is impaired, the amount of impairment is measured  based
 on  the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
 loan's  effective  interest  rate.  For collateral  dependent  loans,
 impairment is measured based on a loan's observable market  price  or
 the  fair  value  of the collateral.  Interest accruals  on  impaired
 loans  are  discontinued when management believes, after  considering
 economic  and  business conditions and collection efforts,  that  the
 borrower's  financial condition is such that it is not reasonable  to
 expect   such  interest  will  be  collected.   Interest  income   is
 subsequently  recognized  only  to  the  extent  cash  payments   are
 received.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
 The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
 accepted  accounting principles requires management to make estimates
 and  assumptions  that  affect the reported  amounts  of  assets  and
 liabilities  and disclosure of contingent assets and  liabilities  as
 of  the  date of the balance sheet and the revenues and expenses  for
 the  period.   Actual results could differ significantly  from  those
 estimates.   Material estimates that are particularly susceptible  to
 significant  change in the near term relate to the  determination  of
 the allowance for possible loan losses.
 
 Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
 The  allowance for possible loan losses is established by charges  to
 operations  and is maintained at an amount which management  believes
 adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may  become
 uncollectible,  based  on evaluations of loan collectibility  and  on
 prior  loan  loss experience.  The evaluations consider such  factors
 as  changes  in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,  overall
 portfolio  quality,  review of specific problem  loans,  and  current
 economic  conditions that may affect the borrower's ability  to  pay.
 Uncollectible  loans  are  charged to the allowance  account  in  the
 period  such determination is made.  Subsequent recoveries  on  loans
 previously charged off are credited to the allowance account  in  the
 period received.
 
 While  management uses available information to recognize  losses  on
 loans,  future losses may be accruable based on changes  in  economic
 conditions.   In  addition,  various  regulatory  agencies,   as   an
 integral  part of their examination process, periodically review  the
 Bank's  allowance  for  possible  loan  losses.   Such  agencies  may
 require  the  Bank  to  recognize additional losses  based  on  their
 judgment  of  information available to them  at  the  time  of  their
 examination.
 
 Premises and Equipment
 Premises   and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost,  less   accumulated
 depreciation  and  amortization.  The provision for  depreciation  is
 computed   substantially  by  the  straight-line  method   over   the
 estimated  useful  lives  of  the  assets,  which  are  as   follows:
 buildings  -  up  to 40 years; equipment - 5 to 10 years.   Leasehold
 improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease terms or  the
 estimated  lives  of  the improvements.  Gains  or  losses  from  the
 disposition  of property are reflected in operations, and  the  asset
 accounts and related allowance for depreciation are reduced.
 
 Trust Department Income
 Trust  department  income  is recognized  on  the  accrual  basis  in
 accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 Income Taxes
 The  Corporation  and  its subsidiaries file a  consolidated  federal
 income tax return.
 
 Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually  for
 the  differences  between the financial statement and  tax  bases  of
 assets  and  liabilities. Such differences will result in taxable  or
 deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and  rates
 applicable  to the periods in which the differences are  expected  to
 affect  taxable  income. Valuation allowances are  established,  when
 necessary,  to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount  expected  to
 be  realized.   Income tax expense is the tax payable  or  refundable
 for  the  period  plus  or  minus the change  during  the  period  in
 deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
 Reclassification
 Certain  amounts  have  been  reclassified  in  the  1995  and   1994
 consolidated   financial   statements  to   conform   to   the   1996
 presentation.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 Other Real Estate
 Other  real  estate,  which is included in other  assets,  represents
 real  estate acquired through foreclosure and is stated at  lower  of
 (i)  fair value minus estimated costs to sell, or (ii) cost.  If,  at
 the time of foreclosure, the fair market value of the real estate  is
 less  than the Bank's carrying value of the related loan, a writedown
 is  recognized  through a charge to the allowance for  possible  loan
 losses,  and  the  fair  market  value  becomes  the  new  cost   for
 subsequent  accounting.  If the Bank later determines that  the  cost
 of  the property cannot be recovered through sale or use, a writedown
 is  recognized by a charge to operations.  When the property  is  not
 in  a  condition suitable for sale or use at the time of foreclosure,
 completion  and  holding costs, including such items as  real  estate
 taxes,   maintenance  and  insurance,  are  capitalized  up  to   the
 estimated  net realizable value of the property.  However,  when  the
 property  is  in  a  condition  for  sale  or  use  at  the  time  of
 foreclosure, or the property is already carried at its estimated  net
 realizable  value, any subsequent holding costs are expensed.   Legal
 fees  and any other direct costs relating to foreclosures are charged
 to operations when incurred.

 Net Income Per Share
 Net  income per share of common stock has been computed based on  the
 weighted  average  number of shares of common stock outstanding  each
 period.

 Impaired loans generally include nonaccrual loans, loans past  due
 90  days or more and still accruing interest, loans identified  as
 non-performing  on  the Bank's problem loan list,  and  all  loans
 restructured  in a troubled debt restructuring subsequent  to  the
 adoption  of  SFAS No. 114.  There have been no loans restructured
 under  troubled debt restructuring since the adoption of SFAS  No.
 114.
 
 The   following  loans  have  been  identified  as   impaired   in
 accordance  with the provisions of SFAS Statement No.  114  as  of

NOTE 4 - ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

 It  is  management's  opinion  that the  allowance  was  adequate  at
 December  31, 1996 and 1995, based on conditions reasonably known  to
 management.   However,  the allowance may be increased  or  decreased
 based  on  loan  growth, changes in credit quality,  and  changes  in
 general economic conditions.
 
 For  federal  income tax purposes, the allowance  for  possible  loan
 losses  is maintained at the maximum amount allowable by the Internal
 Revenue Code.

TO REPURCHASE

 For  the year ended December 31, 1996, the average balance of federal
 funds  purchased  was  $7,000 ($800,000 in  1995),  and  the  average
 interest  rate  charged  was 5.6% (6.5% in 1995).   Unused  lines  of
 credit  for short-term financing totaled $11 million at December  31,
 1996 ($9 million at December 31, 1995).

 Securities  sold under agreements to repurchase mature  one  business
 day  following  the transaction date.  The securities sold  represent
 investments  which are registered to and under control of  the  Bank.
 For   the  year  ended  December  31,  1996,  securities  sold  under
 agreement  to  repurchase  averaged  approximately  $1,129,000.   The
 average  interest rate paid on such agreements during  the  year  was
 4.00%,  and  the  maximum  month-end  balance  during  the  year  was
 $1,578,000.   There  were  no securities  sold  under  agreements  to
 repurchase for the year ended December 31, 1995.



NOTE 9 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS

 The  Bank  has a line-of-credit under an agreement with  the  Federal
 Home  Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB).  The purpose of the line is  to
 hedge  the interest rate on long-term lending.  The Bank applied  for
 and  received  various commitments under the agreement, with  respect
 to  which  borrowings outstanding amounted to $7,203,000 at  December
 31,  1996  ($7,226,000 at December 31, 1995). Such borrowings  mature
 in   level   monthly  installments  through  2013.    All   remaining
 commitments  under  this  arrangement will  contractually  expire  on
 March 5, 1997.

 The  advances  accrue  interest at a fixed rate which  is  determined
 when  the  advance is made.  The weighted average rate  on  all  such
 borrowings drawn to date is 6.04%.

 In  March,  1995, pursuant to its Blanket Agreement for advances  and
 security  agreement  with  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank,  the  Bank
 obtained  an additional advance in the amount of $4,000,000 with  the
 interest  rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offering Rate  ("LIBOR-
 Based  Advance").   The  Bank  made one prepayment  during  the  year
 against  this borrowing in the amount of $2,000,000 and  retired  the
 balance of $2,000,000 in January 1996.

 The FHLB requires the Bank to maintain FHLB stock and obligations  of
 the  United  States of America, obligations fully guaranteed  by  the
 United  States  of  America,  or other  securities  approved  by  and
 delivered  to  the  FHLB  as  collateral for  such  borrowings.   The
 carrying  value of the collateral securing the advances  at  December
 31, 1996 and 1995, was as follows:

NOTE 10 - LEASES

 The  Corporation and the Bank are obligated for rental payments under
 various  operating leases.  All building leases have renewal  options
 available.   There are no contingent rental clauses  in  any  of  the
 leases.

 Total rental expense incurred under all operating leases amounted  to
 $70,000 in 1996 ($72,000 in 1995 and $75,000 in 1994).

 Future  minimum rental commitments as of December 31,  1996  for  all
 noncancellable  operating leases with initial or remaining  terms  of
 one year or more are as follows:

       Year ending December 31,                       Amount

NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

 The  Bank  is  party  to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
 risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs  of
 its  customers.   These financial instruments include commitments  to
 extend  credit  and  standby  letters of credit.   Those  instruments
 involve,  to  varying degrees, elements of credit risk in  excess  of
 the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

 The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance  by
 the  other  party  to  the financial instrument  for  commitments  to
 extend  credit  and standby letters of credit is represented  by  the
 contract or notional amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses  the
 same   credit   policies  in  making  commitments   and   conditional
 obligations as it does for extending loans.

NOTE   11   -   FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS  WITH  OFF-BALANCE-SHEET   RISK
(CONTINUED)

 Unless  noted  otherwise,  the Bank does not  require  collateral  or
 other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

                                            Contract or

  amounts represent credit risk at

      Commitments to extend credit                 $23,793
      Standby letters of credit                        107

 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer  as
 long  as  there is no violation of any condition established  in  the
 contract.   Commitments  generally have  fixed  expiration  dates  or
 other  termination clauses and may require payment of a  fee.   Since
 many  of  the commitments are expected to expire without being  drawn
 upon,  the  total  commitment amounts do  not  necessarily  represent
 future   cash  requirements.   The  Bank  evaluates  each  customer's
 creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount  of  collateral
 obtained  is based on management's credit assessment of the customer.
 Collateral held varies but consists primarily of real estate.
 
 Standby  letters  of  credit  and financial  guarantees  written  are
 conditional   commitments  issued  by  the  Bank  to  guarantee   the
 performance  of a customer to a third party.  Both arrangements  have
 credit  risks  essentially  the same as that  involved  in  extending
 loans  to  customers  and  are subject to the  Bank's  normal  credit
 policies.
 
 Income  from  fees  on  lines of credit  and  letters  of  credit  is
 recognized as collected.
 
 
 
NOTE 12 - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

 The  Bank  sponsors  an employees' Thrift Plan  (the  "Plan"),  which
 encourages  employees  (Participants) to set aside  a  percentage  of
 their  earnings in an account to provide a source of income for their
 retirement.   The  Plan  has  been amended  and  restated  since  its
 initial  adoption  to  comply with tax  law  changes,  add  a  401(k)
 provision,  clarify  the  definition  of  compensation  and   reflect
 participants' ability to direct investments.
 
 The  Plan, a defined contribution plan, meets the requirements of the
 Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of  1974  ("ERISA")  which,
 among  other  things, prohibits discriminating in favor of  officers,
 shareholders  or  highly  compensated  employees  with   respect   to
 eligibility, contributions or benefits.  To participate in the  Plan,
 Participants must be 21 years of age and have completed one  year  of
 service  in  which  they are credited with at least  1,000  hours  of
 service.  Vesting of Bank contributions to the Plan is as follows:
 
            Years of Employment             Percentage of Account
               at Termination                     Vested
                                   
                 Less than 3                         0%

NOTE 12 - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN (CONTINUED)

 The   Bank  contributes  to  the  Plan  a  minimum  of  1%  of   each
 Participant's   compensation  (compensation  excludes   bonuses   and
 gifts).   In  addition,  the  Bank matches  Participants'  before-tax
 contributions  up  to 3% of each Participant's compensation  whenever
 Bank  profits  are deemed adequate by the Board of  Directors.   Plan
 Participants  may contribute before-tax dollars, up to 15%  of  their
 annual  compensation,  to the 401(k) Plan (to a maximum  contribution
 of  $9,500, indexed by the rate of change in inflation, per  calendar
 year  subject to overall IRS limitations).  These contributions  will
 be   tax-deferred,  within  limits  prescribed  by  the  Plan.   Plan
 Participants  may also make voluntary after-tax contributions  of  up
 to  10%  of  their  compensation to the Plan.  The fund  earnings  to
 their Individual Account are also tax-deferred.

 The  contributions are invested in a Trust fund managed by the Bank's
 Trust  Department  and from which benefits are  distributed.   As  of
 December  31,  1996, 98 persons (95 in 1995 and  104  in  1994)  were
 participating  in  the  Plan,  and  the  Bank's  annual  contribution
 amounted  to  $103,000 ($98,000 in 1995 and $88,000 in 1994).   Total
 salaries  of Participants during 1996 were $2,664,000 ($2,521,000  in
 1995  and  $2,535,000  in 1994).  The Bank contributed  approximately
 3.87%  of Participants' salaries in 1996 (3.89% in 1995 and 3.47%  in
 1994).



NOTE 13 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

 In  1988,  the  Bank entered into nonqualified deferred  compensation
 agreements  with  certain  of  its directors.   There  are  presently
 eleven  directors  and  two former directors included  in  the  group
 which,  when  certain  conditions  are  met,  will  be  paid  monthly
 benefits  of  varying amounts for up to 180 months.  Upon  retirement
 on  or  after  normal retirement age, benefits will be  paid  to  the
 covered  person or his beneficiary, in case of the director's  death,
 for  the maximum term of 180 months.  If the director retires for any
 other  reason,  the benefits will be reduced pro rata  based  on  the
 length of time the director was included in the plan.
  
 In  accordance  with  generally accepted accounting  principles,  the
 Bank  has recorded a liability in the amount of the present value  of
 an  investment  necessary to amortize the future liability  over  the
 years  the services are rendered.  The amount charged to expense  for
 1996 was $226,000 ($201,000 in 1995 and $156,000 in 1994).

 The  Bank has chosen to fund the obligation by purchasing and  owning
 life  insurance  contracts, naming the Bank as beneficiary,  on  each
 participating director.  The value of the contracts is carried as  an
 asset of the Bank as follows:

NOTE 14 - REGULATORY MATTERS

 The  Corporation and the Bank are subject to various federal  and
 state  regulatory capital requirements.  Failure to meet  capital
 requirements   can  initiate  certain  mandatory,  and   possibly
 additional  discretionary, actions by regulators that could  have
 a  direct  material  effect  on the Corporation  and  the  Bank's
 financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and  the
 regulatory   framework   for  prompt   corrective   action,   the
 Corporation  and  the Bank are required to meet specific  capital
 adequacy  guidelines that involve quantitative  measures  of  the
 Corporation's and the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-
 balance-sheet  items  as calculated under  regulatory  accounting
 practices.   The  capital  classification  is  also  subject   to
 qualitative  judgments by the regulators about  components,  risk
 weightings and other factors.
 
 Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation   to   ensure
 capital  adequacy  require  the  Corporation  and  the  Bank   to
 maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total Capital and  Tier  I
 Capital  to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I Capital to average
 assets.   Management believes, as of December 31, 1996 and  1995,
 that  the  Corporation  and the Bank meet  all  capital  adequacy
 requirements to which they are subject.
 
 As  of  December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Corporation and the  Bank
 both  had ratios which exceeded the regulatory requirement to  be
 classified   as   "  well  capitalized"  under   the   regulatory
 framework  for  prompt corrective action.   As  of  December  31,
 1994,  the  most  recent notification from  the  Federal  Deposit
 Insurance  Corporation categorized the bank as "well capitalized"
 under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.   To
 be  categorized as well capitalized, the Corporation and the Bank
 must  maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,  Tier
 I  leverage  ratios  as  set forth in the  table.  There  are  no
 conditions  or  events  since that notification  that  management
 believes have changed the institution's category.

 The  Corporation's and the Bank's risk-based capital and  related
 ratios as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follow:

                                                               Capitalized

NOTE 15 - DIVIDEND AND NET ASSET RESTRICTIONS

 Dividends  paid  by  the  Bank are the primary  source  of  funds
 available  to  the  Corporation for payment of dividends  to  its
 shareholders  and  for other working capital  needs.   Applicable
 Tennessee  statutes  and regulations impose restrictions  on  the
 amount of dividends that may be declared by the subsidiary Bank.



NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 On  June  30,  1994  the Corporation redeemed  42,457  shares  of
 outstanding  common  stock  from  a  shareholder,  who  was   the
 Chairman  of  the  Board, and his associates for  $4,005,817,  or
 $94.35 per share.



NOTE 17 - SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 The  Bank  grants agribusiness, commercial and residential  loans
 to  customers primarily in Warren and DeKalb Counties, Tennessee.
 Although   the   Bank  has  a  diversified  loan   portfolio,   a
 substantial  portion  of  its debtors'  ability  to  honor  their
 contracts is dependent on the agribusiness industry.



NOTE 18 - INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN

 In  1990,  the Bank adopted an incentive bonus plan  pursuant  to
 which  officers of the Bank receive, subject to an annual  review
 and  modification  by  the Bank's Board  of  Directors,  a  bonus
 determined  by the Bank's performance as measured by  its  return
 on  assets.  For the year 1996, the bonus was $136,000  ($126,000
 in 1995 and $116,000 in 1994).

NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 Fair  value estimates made as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are based
 on  relevant  market  information about  the  financial  instruments.
 These  estimates do not reflect any premiums or discounts that  could
 result  from offering for sale at one time the Corporation's  or  the
 Bank's  entire  holding  of  a particular financial  instrument.   In
 cases  where  quoted  market  prices are not  available,  fair  value
 estimates  are  based  on judgments regarding  future  expected  loss
 experience,  current  economic conditions,  risk  characteristics  of
 various  financial instruments, and other factors.   These  estimates
 are  subjective  in nature and involve uncertainties and  matters  of
 significant  judgment  and,  therefore,  cannot  be  determined  with
 precision.   Changes  in assumptions could significantly  affect  the
 estimates.   In  addition,  the  tax  ramifications  related  to  the
 realization  of  the  unrealized  gains  and  losses   can   have   a
 significant  effect  on  fair  value  estimates  and  have  not  been
 considered in the estimates.
 
 The  following  methods and assumptions were used in  estimating  the
 fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
 
 Cash  and  Cash Equivalents -- The carrying amounts reported  in  the
 balance sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate  those
 assets' fair values.
 
 Securities  Available-for-Sale -- Fair values were  based  on  quoted
 market   prices  available.   If  quoted  market  prices   were   not
 available,  fair  values  were  based  on  quoted  market  prices  of
 comparable instruments.
 
 Loans  --  The carrying values, reduced by estimated inherent  credit
 losses,  of  variable-rate  loans and  other  loans  with  short-term
 characteristics  were considered fair values.  For other  loans,  the
 fair  market  values were calculated by discounting scheduled  future
 cash  flows  using  current  interest rates  offered  on  loans  with
 similar  terms  adjusted  to  reflect  the  estimated  credit  losses
 inherent in the portfolio.
 
 Accrued  Interest  Receivable and Accrued  Interest  Payable  --  The
 carrying  amounts reported in the balance sheets for accrued interest
 receivable  and  accrued  interest  payable  approximate  their  fair
 values.
 
 Deposit  Liabilities  -- The fair value of deposits  with  no  stated
 maturity,  was, by definition, equal to the amount payable on  demand
 as  of December 31, 1996 and 1995. The fair value of certificates  of
 deposit was based on the discounted value of contractual cash  flows,
 calculated  using discount rates equal to interest rates  offered  at
 the valuation date for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
 Short-Term  Borrowings  --  The carrying  amounts  of  federal  funds
 purchased,  borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other  short-
 term  borrowings,  if any, are considered to approximate  their  fair
 values.
 
 The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as  follows:

NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

 At  December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank had commitments  to  extend
 credit  and  outstanding  standby letters  of  credit.   These  off-
 balance-sheet  financial  instruments are generally  exercisable  at
 the  market  rate prevailing at the date the underlying  transaction
 will  be  completed and, therefore, are deemed to  have  no  current
 fair market value.
 
 Fair value estimates are based on existing on-balance sheet and off-
 balance  sheet financial instruments without attempting to  estimate
 the  value  of anticipated future business and the value  of  assets
 and  liabilities  that  are  not considered  financial  instruments.
 Significant   assets  and  liabilities  that  are   not   considered
 financial  assets or liabilities include the value of  deferred  tax
 assets, premises and equipment.
