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


SUMMARY

American Bancorporation (the "Company") recognized net income of $1,762,000 
($1.13 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to net 
income of $1,432,000 ($0.91 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  
The Company's assets totalled $400,906,000 at June 30, 1996, compared to
$349,463,000 at June 30, 1995.  

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 1995 Annual 
Report and the financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    SIX MONTH COMPARISON

Net Income.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to 
$1,762,000, compared to $1,432,000 for the six months ended June 30 1995. The 
increase was the result of increases in net interest income and other income 
and a decrease in other expenses.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses for 
the six months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to $7,705,000, an increase of 
$23,000 or 0.3%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The 
increase resulted primarily from a $28,664,000 or 8.9% increase in average
interest earning assets which were partially offset by a 37 basis point 
decrease in the Company's margin.

Interest Income.  Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 
amounted to $13,979,000  an increase of $875,000 or 6.7%, as compared to the 
same period in 1995.  The increase resulted primarily from a $28,664,000 
increase in the average volume of earning assets which was partially offset by 
a 16 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets.   Average 
loans outstanding increased $7,340,000 or 3.1%.  Average commercial loans 
increased $10,582,000 or 18.2% while average consumer installment loans 
decreased $1,813,000 or 3.3% and average real estate loans decreased 
$1,429,000 or 1.1%.  The average yield on loans decreased from 8.99% in 1995 
to 8.83% in 1996.  Average investment securities and other short-term 
investments outstanding increased $21,324,000 or 25.5% while the average yield 
increased from 5.60% in 1995 to 5.86% in 1996.
