Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(tables in thousands)


Basis of Presentation
  
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the 
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany 
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The 
consolidated financial statements have not been audited by independent 
accountants, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments 
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of 
operations.  All such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature.  Prior 
period financial information has been restated for the merger with Overton 
Bancshares, Inc. ("Overton") which was consummated in the second quarter of 
1998 and accounted for as a "pooling-of-interests" transaction.  Certain 
reclassifications have been made to make prior periods comparable.  For further 
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
thereto included in the Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year 
ended December 31, 1997.  The balance sheet at December 31, 1997 has been 
derived from the audited financial statements of the Corporation and Overton at 
that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by 
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.


Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

     An analysis of the transactions in the allowance for possible loan losses 
is presented below.  The amount charged to operating expense is based on 
management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance to absorb future 
possible loan losses.

Impaired Loans

     A loan within the scope of SFAS No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for 
Impairment of a Loan" is considered impaired when, based on current information 
and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all 
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including 
scheduled principal and interest payments.  At June 30, 1998, the majority of 
the impaired loans were real estate loans and collectibility was measured based 
on the fair value of the collateral.  Interest payments on impaired loans are 
typically applied to principal unless collectibility of the principal amount is 
fully assured, in which case interest is recognized on the cash basis.  
Interest revenue recognized on impaired loans as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 was 
$52,000 and $95,000, respectively.  The total allowance for possible loan 
losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with 
SFAS No. 114 and activity related to other loan loss allowances determined in 
accordance with SFAS No. 5.

Capital

     The table below reflects various measures of regulatory capital at June 
30, 1998 and 1997.  As a result of the Harrisburg Bancshares, Inc. acquisition 
in January 1998 and the Corporation's stock repurchase program, which expired 
during the second quarter of 1998, all the regulatory capital ratios are down 
when compared to the second quarter of 1997.

</TABLE>

     The FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") established five capital tiers 
for depository institutions and final rules relating to these tiers were 
adopted by the federal banking agencies.  At June 30, 1998 and 1997, the 
Corporation's subsidiary banks were considered "well capitalized" as defined by 
FDICIA, the highest rating, and the Corporation's capital ratios were in excess 
of "well capitalized" levels.  A financial institution is deemed to be well 
capitalized if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0 
percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0 percent

<PAGE>

or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0 percent or greater, and the institution
is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt 
corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific level for any 
capital measure.
     The Corporation is subject to the regulatory capital requirements 
administered by the Federal Reserve Bank.  Regulators can initiate certain 
mandatory actions, if the Corporation fails to meet the minimum requirements, 
that could have a direct material effect on the Corporation's financial 
statements.  The Corporation and its subsidiary banks currently exceed all 
minimum capital requirements.
     During the second quarter of 1998, the shareholders of the Corporation 
voted to increase authorized common shares to 90 million from 60 million and to 
reduce the par value of the Corporation's common stock from $5 to $.01 per 
share.


Income Taxes
     The tax expense for the second quarter of 1998 was $8,142,000.  This 
amount consisted of current tax expense of $8,980,000 and deferred tax benefit 
of $838,000.  Year-to-date tax expense is $18,817,000, consisting of current 
tax expense of $20,941,000 and deferred tax benefit of $2,124,000.  Net 
deferred tax assets were $9,814,000 with no valuation allowance.  The deferred 
tax assets were supported by taxes paid in prior years.  The tax expense for 
the second quarter of 1997 was $10,033,000.  Income tax payments for the first 
six months of 1998 and 1997 were $22,898,000 and $18,850,000, respectively.  
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1998 is impacted by the merger 
related charge related to the merger with Overton and approximated 42 percent.


Merger and Acquisitions
     On May 29, 1998, the Corporation completed the merger of Overton 
Bancshares, Inc., in Fort Worth, Texas, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Overton 
Bank & Trust, N.A., into the Corporation.  The merger, which was accounted for 
as a "pooling-of-interests" transaction, is the Corporation's first entry into 
the Fort Worth market.  With the merger, the Corporation has twelve locations in
Fort Worth/Arlington and two in Dallas. The Corporation issued approximately
4.38 million common shares as part of this transaction.  As a result of the
transaction, the Corporation recorded a merger related charge of $12.2 million
primarily consisting of severance payments and investment banking fees.  In
addition, shortly after the merger was consummated the Corporation reclassified 
approximately $116 million of held to maturity securities of Overton 
Bancshares, Inc., to available for sale securities.

Net interest income and net income of the separate companies for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 were as follows:

There has been no changes made to conform accounting policies related to this 
merger.

     On January 2, 1998, the Corporation paid approximately $55.3 million to 
acquire Harrisburg Bancshares, Inc., including its subsidiary Harrisburg Bank 
in Houston, Texas.  This transaction was accounted for as a purchase with total 
cash consideration being funded through currently available funds.  The 
purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities 
based on estimated fair value at the date of acquisition.  Such estimates may 
be subsequently revised.  The Corporation acquired loans of approximately $125 
million and deposits of approximately $222 million.  Total intangibles 
associated with the acquisition amounted to approximately $34.2 million.  This 
acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's 1998 
net income.

<PAGE>

     On March 7, 1997, the Corporation paid approximately $32.2 million to 
acquire Corpus Christi Bancshares, Inc., including its subsidiary Citizens 
State Bank, based in Corpus Christi, Texas.  Total intangibles associated with 
the acquisition were approximately $20.9 million.  The Corporation acquired 
loans of approximately $108 million and deposits of approximately $184 million.
This acquisition did not have a material impact on the Corporation's 1997 net 
income.


Accounting Changes 
     As of January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting 
Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130).  SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for 
the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components; however, 
the adoption of this statement had no impact on the Corporation's net income or 
shareholders' equity.  SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains and losses on the 
Corporation's available-for-sale securities, which prior to adoption were 
reported separately in shareholders' equity to be included in other 
comprehensive income.  Prior year financial statements have been reclassified 
to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 130.  Comprehensive income 
(including the merger related charge) was $11,959,000 for the second quarter of 
1998 compared to $24,145,000 for the second quarter of 1997.  For the second 
quarter of 1998 and 1997, comprehensive income was composed of net income and 
unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $503,000 and $6,017,000, 
respectively, net of tax and reclassification adjustment.  For the second 
quarter of 1998, the unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale before 
tax was $845,000 resulting in an after tax amount of $549,000.  Comprehensive 
income was $30,769,000 for the first six months of 1998 (See Statement of 
Changes in Shareholder's Equity on page 4).  This compares to $34,441,000 for 
the first six months of 1997 which was composed of net income of $35,125,000 
and unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale of $684,000, net of tax 
and reclassification adjustment.  For the first six months of 1998, the 
unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale before tax was $11,000 
resulting in an after tax amount of $7,000.  
     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of 
an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131).  The statement 
establishes standards for the method that public entities use to report 
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and 
requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating 
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also 
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, 
geographical areas and major customers.  The provisions of SFAS No. 131 are 
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  Adoption in 
interim financial statements is not required until the year after initial 
adoption; however, comparative prior year information is required.  The 
Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on the 
disclosures included in its annual and interim period financial statements.
     In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No.132, "Employer's Disclosures 
about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits."  This statement revises 
employer's disclosures about pension and other post retirement benefit plans 
but does not change the measure of recognition of those plans.  The statement 
standardizes the disclosure requirements to the extent practicable, requires 
additional information on changes in the benefit obligation and the fair value 
of plan assets that will aid financial analysis, and eliminates certain 
disclosures that are no longer useful.  SFAS No. 132 is effective for fiscal 
years beginning after December 15, 1997.  Interim period application in the 
year of adoption is not required.  The Corporation is currently evaluating the 
impact of this statement on the disclosures included in its annual financial 
statements.
     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative 
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  This statement requires that all 
derivatives be marked-to-market on an on going basis.  Along with the 
derivatives, the underlying hedged items are also to be marked-to-market on an 
ongoing basis.  These market value adjustments are to be included either in the 
income statement or stockholders' equity, depending on the nature of the 
transaction.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 
15, 1999.  Management has not completed its review of SFAS No. 133, and has not 
determined the impact, if any, that adoption of this statement will have on the 
Corporation.

Results of Operations
     The results of operations are included in the material that follows.  
During the second quarter of 1998 the Corporation completed the merger with 
Overton Bancshares, Inc., ("Overton") which was accounted for using the 
"pooling-of-interests" accounting method.  Historical amounts have been 
restated to reflect the merger.  In addition, the Corporation completed an 
acquisition during the first quarter of 1998 and one in 1997.  These 
acquisitions were accounted for as purchase transactions, and as such, their 
related results of operations are included in the financial information that 
follows from the date of acquisition.  The merger and acquisitions are outlined 
in the footnotes to the financial statements on page eight.  All balance sheet 
figures are presented in averages unless otherwise noted.
     Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. reported net income of $11.5 million or $.42 
per diluted common share, and $30.9 million or $1.13 per diluted common share 
for the second quarter of 1998 and six months ending June 30, 1998, 
respectively.  Included in second quarter earnings is a merger related charge 
of $12.2 million before tax.  These charges were associated with the merger of 
Overton.

Net Interest Income
     Net interest margin was 4.96 percent for the second quarter of 1998 
compared to 4.89 percent and 4.88 percent for the first quarter of 1998 and 
second quarter of 1997, respectively.  The net interest spread of 4.06 percent 
increased 4 basis points from the first quarter of 1998 and 5 basis points from 
the second quarter of 1997.  The increases in net interest margin and spread 
from the first quarter of 1998 and the second quarter of 1997 were due to 
strong loan growth and a redeployment of investable funds out of Federal funds 
sold and into investment securities as well as a restructuring of the 
investment portfolio.

For the second quarter 1998...

     Total non-interest income was up $1.5 million, an increase of 4.6 percent, 
compared to the first quarter of 1998 and up $4.1 million, an increase of 13.3 
percent compared to the second quarter of 1997.
     The decline in trust fees from the first quarter of 1998 is due in part to 
the initial set-up fees in the first quarter for employee benefit accounts.  
Trust fees increased $1.1 million or 10.3 percent when compared to the same 
quarter a year ago.  Most of this growth was attributable to the growth in the 
stock and bond markets, supported by growth in the number of new accounts as 
well.  The market value of trust assets at the end of the second quarter of 
1998 was $11.9 billion compared to $10.0 a year ago.
     Service charges on deposit accounts for the second quarter of 1998 
increased $663,000 from the first quarter of this year and $1.2 million or 10.2 
percent from the second quarter of 1997.  Most of this increase occurred as the
result of broad based deposit growth that generated increases in overdraft
charges, cash management fees on commercial deposits, as well as increases in
ATM income.  Other service charges were up $363,000 for the second

<PAGE>

quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1998 and $1 million or 35
percent from the same quarter a year ago.  Mutual fund fees as well as growth
in the cash accelerator product (accounts receivable factoring) led the way in
growth in this category of non-interest income.
     Compared to the first quarter of 1998, other non-interest income increased 
$929,000.  This resulted primarily from a non-recurring recovery of $936,000 on 
a loan that was carried at a discount.  This was also the most significant 
impact when compared to the increase of $726,000 or 13.2 percent from the same 
quarter a year ago.


For the six months ended June 30, 1998...

     Non-interest income was up $9.4 million or 15.9 percent compared to the 
same period last year.  Trust income increased $2.7 million or 12.9 percent 
from the same period a year ago.  Contributing to most of this growth were 
improvements in the stock and bond markets as evidenced by the growth in the 
market value of trust assets from $10.0 at June 30, 1997 to $11.9 billion at 
June 30, 1998.  The growth in market assets was supported by growth in the 
number of accounts as well.  Service charges on deposits increased $2.5 million 
or 10.9 percent compared to the same period one year ago. Broad based deposit 
growth generated increases in overdraft charges, cash management fees on 
commercial deposits, as well as increases in ATM income.  Other service charge 
income increased $2.2 million or 42.1 percent from the same period last year.  
Primary contributors to this growth were mutual fund fees as well as fees 
generated from accounts receivable factoring.  Also having an impact were pre-
payment penalties received from payoffs in asset based lending.  Other income 
was up $1.8 million or 18.9 percent relative to the same period last year.  
Main contributors were the $936,000 non-recurring recovery discussed previously 
as well as mineral interest income of $631,000.


Non-Interest Expense

     The acquisitions of Harrisburg Bancshares, Inc., and Corpus Christi 
Bancshares, Inc., in the first quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively, 
impacted the growth in expenses.

For the second quarter 1998...

     Excluding the merger-related charge associated with the merger of Overton, 
non-interest expense was up $1.9 million or 3.0 percent compared to last 
quarter and increased $8.1 million or 13.7 percent compared to the second 
quarter of 1997.
     Salaries and wages remained steady with the first quarter of 1998 and were 
up $3.7 million or 15.5 percent from the second quarter of 1997 as a result of 
higher staffing levels and merit increases.  Pension and employee benefits were 
flat compared to last quarter and up 8.0 percent compared to the second quarter 
of 1997.  The increase from a year ago reflects higher payroll taxes, medical 
insurance expense and higher contributions to fund the employer match on the 
employee related stock plans.
     Net occupancy of banking premises expense remained constant from the first 
quarter of 1998 and increased $623,000 or 11.3 percent from the second quarter 
of 1997.  This increase is attributable to higher property taxes and 
depreciation and lease expense on buildings.  Furniture and equipment expense 
increased 4.6 percent compared to the first quarter of 1998 and increased 
$667,000 or 16.8 percent from the same quarter last year mostly due to higher 
amortized software and service contracts.  

<PAGE>

     Also included in the second quarter of 1998 was a $12.2 million merger 
related charge associated with the merger of Overton Bancshares, Inc.  Of the 
$12.2 million charge approximately 39 percent related to severance payments and 
29 percent related to investment banking fees.
     Other non-interest expenses increased $1.3 million or 7.1 percent and $2.4 
million or 14.2 percent from the first quarter of 1998 and second quarter of 
1997, respectively, mainly due to professional expenses, Visa check card 
expenses, guard services and outside computer services.  


For the six months ended June 30, 1998...

     Excluding the merger-related charge, total non-interest expense was up 
$17.4 million or 15.2 percent compared to the same period one year ago.  
Salaries and wages were up $8.0 million or 17.0 percent compared to the same 
period one year ago primarily because of the higher staffing levels and merit 
increases.  Pension and other benefits increased $918,000 or 9.1 percent from 
the same period last year due to higher payroll taxes, medical insurance 
expense and higher contributions to fund the employer match on the employee 
related stock plans.  Net occupancy of banking premises was up $1.2 million or 
10.4 percent compared to a year ago.  This increase is attributable to higher 
property taxes and depreciation and lease expense on buildings.  Furniture and 
equipment expense increased $1.4 million or 17.8 percent due to higher 
amortized software and service contracts.  Intangible amortization increased 
$879,000 or 15.1 percent from the same period a year ago due to acquisitions.  
Other non-interest expenses increased $5.1 million or 15.7 percent, primarily 
due to growth in the number of banking locations (guard service) and other 
technology initiatives designed to enhance and support growth.


Income Taxes
     The Corporation's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1998 and the 
first and second quarters of 1997 approximated the statutory rate of 35 
percent. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1998 is impacted by 
the merger related charge associated with the acquisition of Overton and 
approximated 42 percent.


Cash Earnings
     The Corporation has historically paid cash and used the purchase method of 
accounting for the majority of its acquisitions which has resulted in the 
creation of intangible assets.  These intangible assets are deducted from 
capital in the determination of regulatory capital.  Thus, "cash" or "tangible" 
earnings represents regulatory capital generated during the year and can be 
viewed as net income excluding intangible amortization, net of tax.  While the 
definition of "cash" or "tangible" earnings may vary by company, we believe 
this definition is appropriate as it measures the per share growth of 
regulatory capital, which impacts the amount available for dividends and 
acquisitions.

intangible amortization ("cash" earnings):

     Excluding the merger related charge, the Corporation's cash earnings for 
the six months ending June 30, 1998 were $45.4 million or $1.67 per diluted 
common share compared with $1.44 per diluted common share for the same period 
last.  For the second quarter of 1998 cash earnings excluding the merger

earnings (excluding the merger related charge) return on assets and return on 
equity were 1.49 percent and 19.48 percent, respectively.

Balance Sheet

first quarter of 1998 and the second quarter of 1997 respectively, primarily 
because of the acquisition.  Total deposits averaged $5.4 billion for the 
current quarter, flat from the previous quarter and up 11.3 percent when 
compared to the second quarter of 1997.  Average loans for the second quarter 
of 1997 were $3.4 billion.  This represents an increase in average loans of

     At June 30, 1998 period-end loans totaled $3.4 billion up 13.2 percent 
annualized from the previous quarter and up 16.5 percent from the same period 
last year.  Approximately 74 percent of the increase in loans from a year ago 
resulted from internally generated growth.  Compared to a year ago, all loan 
categories have increased.


Real Estate Loans
     Real estate loans at June 30, 1998, were $1,553,566,000 or 45.1 percent of 
period-end loans compared to 44.7 percent a year ago.  Residential permanent 
mortgage loans at June 30, 1998, were $559,548,000 compared to $541,513,000 at 
March 31, 1998, and $492,067,000 at June 30, 1997.  Real estate loans 
classified as "other" are essentially amortizing commercial and industrial 
loans with maturities of less than five years secured by real property.  The 
majority of all commercial real estate loans are owner occupied or have a major 
tenant (National or Regional company).  Historically these type of loans have 
resulted in lower risk, provided financial stability and are less susceptible 
to economic swings.
     At June 30, 1998, real estate loans 90 days past due (excluding non-
accrual and restructured loans) were $2,649,000, compared with $3,239,000 at 
March 31, 1998, and $2,038,000 at June 30, 1997.

Mexico

     The Corporation's cross border outstandings to Mexico, excluding 
$24,984,000 in loans secured by assets held in the United States, totaled 
$51,378,000 at June 30, 1998, or 1.5 percent of total loans flat with 
$51,824,000 at March 31, 1998 and up compared to $34,426,000 last year.  The 
increase from a year ago represents the additional usage of lines of credit 
extended to Mexican firms to support trade related transactions.  Of the trade-
related credits, approximately 94 percent are related to companies exporting 
from Mexico.  In addition, loans insured by the Export Import Bank were made to 
Mexican businesses to purchase goods from the United States.  As of June 30, 
1998, none of the Mexican related loans were on non-performing status.

     Non-performing assets totaled $19,710,000 at June 30, 1998 up 16.3 percent 
from $16,951,000 at June 30, 1997 and down slightly from $19,837,000 at March 
31, 1998.  Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed 
assets remained the same at .57 percent at June 30, 1998 and 1997.
     Foreclosed assets consist of property which has been formally repossessed.
Foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of the loan balance or estimated fair 
value, less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure.  Write-downs 
occurring at foreclosure are charged against the allowance for possible loan 
losses.  On an ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market 
indications and applicable regulations.  Write-downs are provided for 
subsequent declines in value.  Expenses related to maintaining foreclosed 
properties are included in other non-interest expense.
     The after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) of lost 
interest from non-performing assets was $297,000 or $.01 per common share for 
the second quarter of 1998, compared to approximately $242,000 or $.01 per 
common share for the second quarter of 1997 and $275,000 or $.01 per common 
share for the first quarter of 1998.  For the six months ended June 30, 1998, 
the after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) was 
approximately $573,000 or $.02 per common share, compared with approximately 
$444,000 or $.02 per common share for the comparable period last year.  Total 
loans 90 days past due (excluding non-accrual and restructured loans) were 
$7,012,000 at June 30, 1998, compared to $5,789,000 at June 30, 1997, and 
$6,662,000 at March 31, 1998.


Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

     The allowance for possible loan losses was $51,115,000 or 1.48 percent of 
period-end loans at June 30, 1998, compared to $46,797,000 or 1.58 percent at 
June 30, 1997 and $49,698,000 or 1.49 percent at March 31, 1998.  The allowance 
for possible loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual and restructured loans 
was 352.3 percent at June 30, 1998, compared to 334.3 percent at June 30, 1997 
and 356.3 percent at the end of the first quarter of 1998.

<PAGE>

     The Corporation recorded a $2,600,000 provision for possible loan losses 
during the second quarter of 1998.  This compares to $2,599,000 provision for 
possible loan losses during the second quarter of 1997 and $2,579,000 for the 
first quarter of 1998.  Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 1998 totaled 
$1,183,000, compared to net charge-offs of $1,234,000 and $2,204,000 for the 
second quarter of 1997 and for the first quarter of 1998, respectively.

Capital and Liquidity
     At June 30, 1998, shareholders' equity was $483,325,000 compared to 
$445,383,000 at June 30, 1997 and $474,957,000 at March 31, 1998.  The 
Corporation had an unrealized gain on securities available for sale, net of 
deferred taxes, of $8.8 million as of June 30, 1998 compared to a $7.4 million 
unrealized gain as of June 30, 1997, reflecting a change of $1.4 million.  This 
increase is primarily due to the decrease in market interest rates. Currently, 
under regulatory requirements, the unrealized gain or loss on securities 
available for sale is not included in the calculation of risk-based capital and 
leverage ratios.  See page seven for a discussion of the Corporation's 
regulatory capital ratios.
     The Corporation raised its cash dividend 20 percent for the second quarter 
of 1998 to $.30 per common share compared to $.25 per common share in the first 
quarter of 1998 and second quarter of 1997.  Excluding the merger related 
charge this equates to a dividend payout ratio of 33.7 percent, 33.2 percent 
and 36.0 percent for the second and first quarters of 1998 and the second 
quarter of 1997, respectively.
     Funding sources available at the holding company level include a 
$7,500,000 short-term line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding from 
this source at June 30, 1998.
     Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily 
marketable, pledgeable or which will mature in the near future.  These include 
cash, short-term time deposits in banks, securities available for sale, 
maturities and cash flow from securities held to maturity, and Federal funds 
sold and securities purchased under resale agreements.  Liability liquidity is 
provided by access to funding sources, principally core deposits and Federal 
funds purchased.  Additional sources of liability liquidity include brokered 
deposits and securities sold under agreement to repurchase.  The liquidity 
position of the Corporation is continuously monitored and adjustments are made 
to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate.


Year 2000
     The Corporation's Year 2000 compliance program includes modifying or 
replacing appropriate hardware and software utilized by the Corporation. 
Currently, the Corporation estimates that the dollar amount to be spent on 
incremental outside costs to remediate its Year 2000 issues will be 
approximately $3.5 million over a three year period beginning in 1997, funded 
out of its earnings. These costs are being expensed as incurred and were 
approximately $524,000 and $310,000 for the second and first quarters of 1998, 
respectively.  The cost of compliance and expected completion dates are based 
upon management's best estimates which were derived utilizing assumptions of 
future events including the continued availability of certain resources, third 
party vendor remediation plans and other factors.  Management expects all 
mission critical systems to be installed and certified by November 1998 and 
believes that its program is producing the appropriate level of preparedness.

     Regardless of the Year 2000 compliance of the Corporation's systems, there 
is no  complete assurance that the Corporation will not be adversely affected 
to the extent other entities not affiliated with the Corporation are 
unsuccessful in properly addressing this issue.  In an effort to minimize this 
possibility, active communication has been on-going between the Corporation and 
its external service providers and intermediaries.  In addition, a risk 
reduction program was initiated in 1997 that addresses potential Year 2000 
exposure in the loan portfolio.  Public awareness sessions have been hosted by 
the Corporation for customers and suppliers in our marketplace during 1997, and 
such communication is planned to continue throughout 1998.


Forward-Looking Statements
     The Corporation may from time to time make forward-looking statements 
(within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) 
with respect to earnings per share, credit quality, expected Year 2000 
compliance program, corporate objectives and other financial and business 
matters.  The Corporation cautions the reader that these forward-looking 
statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, 
including economic conditions; actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board; 
legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; competition; as well as other 
reasons, all of which change over time.  Actual results may differ materially 
from forward-looking statements.
