NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect 
all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to a fair 
presentation of the financial position and results of operations. All 
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The notes to the financial 
statements contained in the 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders should be read 
in conjunction with these statements.

NOTE A - NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED

  In May, 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage 
Servicing Rights".  SFAS No. 122 amends SFAS No. 65 "Accounting for Certain 
Mortgage Banking Activities" by requiring that a mortgage banking enterprise 
that acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or 
origination of mortgage loans recognize those rights as separate assets by 
allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing 
rights and the loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their
relative fair values.  In addition, SFAS No. 122 requires that a mortgage 
banking enterprise assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for 
impairment based on the fair value of those rights.  The standard will be 
applied prospectively in 1996.  Management does not believe that adoption 
will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
      OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SUMMARY

American Bancorporation (the "Company") recognized net income of $2,260,000 
($1.44 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to 
net income of $1,464,000 ($0.97 per share) for the nine months ended September 
30, 1994.  The Company's assets totalled $347,507,000 at September 30, 1995, 
compared to $289,730,000 at September 30, 1994.  

The following is a discussion of significant factors influencing operating 
performance and change in financial position during the interim periods 
presented. The discussion should be read in connection with the 1994 Annual 
Report and the financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTH COMPARISON

Net Income.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 amounted 
to $2,260,000, compared to $1,464,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1994. The increase was the result of increases in net interest income and 
other income which were partially offset by an increase in other expenses.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 amounted to $11,487,000 an increase
