ITEM 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net interest income is the principal source of the
Corporation's earnings and represents the difference
between interest income on loans and securities over
interest costs of deposits and borrowed funds.  Income
from certain earning assets is exempt from federal income
tax and as customary in the banking industry, changes in
net interest income are analyzed on a fully tax equivalent
basis.  Under this method, and throughout this discussion,
nontaxable income on loans and investments is adjusted to
an amount which represents the equivalent earnings if such
earnings were subject to federal tax.  The marginal tax
rate used to restate nontaxable income was 34%.

Net interest income increased $1,192 or 7.77% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1994.  This $1,192 increase was a
combination of a $4,433 increase in interest income and a
$3,241 increase in interest expense.  The $4,433 increase in
interest income was composed of an increase of $1,018 due to
increased volume of average interest earning assets and an
increase of $3,415 due to increased rates received on these

 As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
    (Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)


interest earning assets.  The $3,241 increase in interest expense
was a combination of an increase of $605 due to increased volume
of average interest bearing liabilities and an increase of
$2,636 due to rate increases on these interest bearing
liabilities.

The Corporation's average assets for the first nine months of
1995 increased $19,536 or 3.83% to $528,979 from $509,443 for the
same period in 1994, but the percent of average earning assets to
total average assets decreased to 94.74% for the first nine
months of 1995 from 95.17% for the first nine months of 1994. 
This decrease was in part due to 1995 average assets containing
$1,276 of average goodwill associated with the deposits purchased
(see details on subsequent page).  Net interest margin increased
 .18% to 4.41% for the first nine months of 1995 from 4.23% for
the first nine months of 1994.  This increase was due to the
yields on average earning assets increasing faster than the costs
on average interest bearing liabilities.  The Corporation's
yields on loans and investments and costs of deposits, although
not completely determined by the prime rate, are influenced by
changes in the prime rate.  The prime rate started at 8.50% in
1995, increased to 9.00% in February, 1995 and decreased to 8.75%
in July 1995, and averaged 8.86% for the first nine months of
1995.  The prime rate for 1994 started at 6.00%, increased four
times to an ending rate of 7.75%, and averaged 6.81% for the
first nine months of 1994.  With higher interest rates in 1995
and the fact that rates continued to increase during the last
half of 1994, the Corporation was able to maintain a higher
spread between interest received on average interest earning
assets and interest paid on average interest bearing liabilities. 
The yield on average interest earning assets increased to 8.34%
for the first nine months of 1995 from 7.39% for the first nine
months of 1994 for an increase of .95%.  The cost on average
interest bearing liabilities increased at a slower rate and was
4.58% for the first nine months of 1995 and 3.72% for the first
nine months of 1994 for an increase of .86%.  This leaves the
interest spread which is the mathematical difference between
yields on average interest earning assets and costs on average
interest bearing liabilities at 3.76% for the first nine months
of 1995 compared to 3.67% for the first nine months of 1994.

The provision for loan losses was $425 during the first nine
months of 1995 compared to $100 during the first nine months of
1994.  The provision for loan losses was increased during 1995
because of increased loan volume and not due to loan credit
problems.  The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1995,
was $4,179 or 1.13% of total loans less unearned income as
compared to $3,911 or 1.22% of total loans less unearned income

at December 31, 1994.  During the first nine months of 1995,
loans charged off were $337 and recoveries from previously
written off loans were $180, thus net charge offs for the first
nine months of 1995 were $157.  The adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses is analyzed by management of each bank subsidiary
based upon review of identified loans with more than a normal
degree of risk, historical loan loss percentage by type of loan
and present and forecasted economic conditions.  Management's
analysis indicates that the allowance for loan loss at September
30, 1995, is adequate to cover potential losses on identified
loans with credit problems and historical losses on the remaining
loan portfolio.  The following are ratios of the different types
of problem loans as a percent of total loans less unearned income
at September 30, 1995, and December 31, 1994:
                              September 30,1995 December 31, 1994
Nonaccrual loans                    .24%             .18%
Loans past due 90 days              .26%             .20%
Performing restructured loans       .01%             .15%
OREO                                .11%             .14%

Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Financial
Accounting Standard No. 114, (FAS 114) "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Financial Accounting
Standard No. 118, (FAS 118) "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures."  These
statements require that impaired loans be measured based on the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loans' effective interest rates or at the fair value of the
underlying collateral and allow existing methods for recognizing
interest income.  The effect of adopting FAS 114 and FAS 118 was
not material to the Financial Statements of the Corporation.  At
September 30, 1995, the recorded balance of loans that were
considered to be impaired under FAS 114 was $2,905 of which $510
were on a nonaccrual basis.  The average recorded balance for
impaired loans for the three month period ended September 30,
1995, approximated the ending balance.  All loans considered to
be impaired at September 30, 1995, had specific allocated
reserves which totaled $393.

A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses
account for the first nine months ending September 30, 1995, and
1994 was:
                                   1995        1994

 As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
    (Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

With the adoption of FAS 114, the Corporation continued to use
its normal methods of identifying loans that are subject to
classification as criticized assets.  This consists of creating a
monthly report containing loans with a more than normal degree of
risk.  This report includes all such loans with balances of $100
or larger and even includes totals for loans smaller than $100 if
they are collateralized by real estate or other specific
collateral.  Smaller-balance homogeneous loans, like credit
cards, moneyline loans which are consumer lines of credit either
secured with second mortgages on real estate or unsecured, and
consumer installment loans which are secured by vehicles and
other specific collateral or unsecured, are not included as loans
with a more than normal degree of risk.  These loans are
specifically covered in the analysis of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses using historical loss percentages and
current delinquency reports.  Smaller-balance homogeneous loans
are placed on nonaccrual after they are 90 days delinquent and
are written down to their collateral value or are charged off
when they are determined to be uncollectable.  The report of
loans with a more than normal degree of risk is the by-product of
an ongoing loan review process, the purpose of which is to
determine the level of credit risk within the portfolio and to
ensure proper adherence to the Corporation's underwriting and
documentation standards.

The Corporation's report of loans with a more than normal degree
of risk is divided into three classifications, other loans
especially mentioned, substandard performing loans and
substandard non-performing loans.  Other loans especially
mentioned are loans that are fundamentally sound but exhibit
potentially unwarranted credit risks or contain unsatisfactory
characteristics.  Substandard performing loans are inadequately
protected by current sound net worth, paying capacity of the
obligor, or pledged collateral as well as those loans with
unsatisfactory characteristics causing more than acceptable
levels of risk, but are being serviced by the customer in regards
to the timely payment of principal and interest.  Substandard
non-performing loans show weaknesses inherent in the substandard
performing loans but where collection or liquidation in full, on
a timely basis, is highly questionable.  Substandard non-
performing loans are loans that have been placed on nonaccrual
when they are 90 days delinquent and there is no evidence to
support the continued regular payments required under the loan
contract.

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
          OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
          
 As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
    (Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

The classification of impaired loans is determined by the
analysis of the loan's collateral, repayment capacity of the
borrower and other known information to determine that it is
probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all
amounts of principle and interest due according to the
contractual terms of the loan. Although a loan is on nonaccrual
it is possible that the liquidation of collateral will provide
for full recovery of all nonaccrued interest and principal on the
loan without a significant delay.  Loans on nonaccrual that do
not meet this criteria are considered to be impaired.  Loans that
are still on accrual, because the payments are currently being
serviced by the customer, but that exhibit or are known to have
other circumstances that will make them probable of not being
collected in full as to interest and principal, are also
considered to be impaired.  Specific reserves are assigned to
impaired loans when in management's opinion the liquidation of
collateral, less selling expenses, will not represent collection
in full of principal and interest on the loan.  Specific reserves
plus a reserve calculation based on historical loan loss
experience by type of loan are considered when analyzing the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Impaired loans not
collateralized, but being repaid from cash flows, are measured
based upon the present value of expected future cash flows and
any shortfalls are recognized by the reduction of the impaired
loan by creating a valuation allowance and a corresponding charge
against the allowance for loan losses.  The Corporation currently
does not have any impaired loans requiring a valuation allowance 
due to insufficient present value calculations of expected future
cash flows.  Since the adoption of FAS 114 no unusual additions
to the allowance for loan losses have been required due to loans
being classified as impaired.  

Impaired loans on nonaccrual recognize payments or other cash
flows from liquidation of collateral first as principal payments. 
When the principal on these loans is collected in full,
subsequent payments are recorded as income until all of the
nonaccrued interest income is collected.  Since the nonaccrued
interest income is not booked until collected, any interest
shortfall on nonaccrual loans is never recognized as income. 
Impaired loans on accrual continue to recognize income on the
same basis as all other loans.  The method used in recognizing
payments and interest income on impaired loans is consistent with
those being used by the Corporation for substandard performing
loans and substandard non-performing loans before the adoption of
FAS 114.

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
          OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
          
 As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
    (Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
was up $127 or 6.88% to $1,972 as compared to $1,845 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994.  Income from fiduciary services
was up by $45 or 15.31% to $339 in 1995 from $294 in 1994 as a
result of increased fees on trust accounts managed.  Service
charges on deposit accounts were up by $111 or 13.34% to $943 in
1995 from $832 in 1994 due to new and increased fees on deposit
accounts.  The Corporation had a net gain of $5 on calls and
sales of securities during the first nine months of 1995.  Other
operating income decreased $38 or 5.26% to $685 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, from $723 during the same nine
months in 1994.  This $38 decrease was mainly due to the
reduction of gain on sales of loans held for sale less increases
in income from a new investment service being offered customers,
other nonrecurring income and an increase in insurance commission
income.  During the first nine months of 1994 mortgage rates were
increasing and the Corporation sold $31,630 of the conforming
fixed rate mortgage loans, classified as loans held for sale on
the balance sheet, into the secondary mortgage market, and other
operating income included $221 related to gains from these sales. 
During part of the first nine months of 1995, mortgage rates
increased to the point that many customers were selecting
variable rate mortgage loans which are classified as real estate
loans on the balance sheet as compared to fixed rate mortgage
loans which are classified as loans held for sale on the balance
sheet. The Corporation did sell $10,441 in fixed rate mortgage
loans into the secondary mortgage market and recorded gains of
$124 during the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The
servicing rights on more than 95% of sold fixed rate loans are
retained by the Corporation.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
was $10,667 as compared to $10,465 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994, for an increase of $202 or 1.93%.  Salaries
and employee benefits are the largest portion of noninterest
expense and increased $488 or 9.10% in the first nine months of
1995 compared to the same time period in 1994.  Individual
components showed increases in salaries, pension expense and
medical insurance expense.  Occupancy expense decreased slightly
with an $11 or 1.71% decrease in 1995 from 1994.  Equipment
expense was up by $41 or 6.71% to $652 in 1995 from $611 in 1994
due mainly to increases in contract expenses related to new
branches and equipment.  The Corporation plans to open two new

branches during the fourth quarter of 1995.  One branch is being
opened to provide better service to existing customers and the
other branch will provide the Corporation entrance into a new
county and marketing area.  The addition of these branches will
increase personnel, occupancy and equipment expenses.

Data processing expense decreased $47 or 13.78% to $294 in 1995
from $341 in 1994 and was due to a reduction in depreciation and
continued efficiencies resulting from consolidating operations.  
The Corporation installed a larger computer system, during the
third quarter of 1995, to provide for better customer service and
further consolidation of operations.  Data processing expenses
starting in the third quarter of 1995 did increase from third
quarter 1994 because of this change. 

All of the Corporation's subsidiary banks have been assigned the
highest classification by the FDIC and as such received a refund
of $281 from the FDIC for the period June 1 through September 30,
1995.  This refund was received in September 1995 and had the
effect of reducing the FDIC insurance expense from .23% to .04%
starting June 1, 1995.  This reduced FDIC insurance rate will
also be in effect for the remainder of 1995.  The FDIC insurance
expense decreased $250 or 32.98% to $502 in 1995 from $758 in
1994.  Without the refund discussed, FDIC insurance expense would
have increased and is due to increased deposit balances in 1995
compared to 1994.  The deposits purchased by the Corporation from
a federal savings bank (see financial condition for details)
remain subject to the SAIF rather than BIF insurance rates.

The $19 or .69% decrease in other operating expenses to $2,728 in
1995 from $2,747 in 1994 was due to a combination of many
increases and decreases with large changes in goodwill and
professional fees.  Other operating expenses for 1995 includes
the addition of $66 for goodwill amortization in 1995 related to
the deposits purchased on March 17, 1995.  Other 1995 operating
expenses were lower because of reduced professional fees, due to
the inclusion in 1994 of both sides of expenses for a merger
completed on June 1, 1994, under the pooling of interests method
and the inclusion in 1995 of only the Corporation's merger
expenses of a merger completed during the fourth quarter of this
year, also under the pooling of interests method.  

Income before income taxes was up $824 or 14.67% to $6,440 for
the first nine months of 1995 from $5,616 for the first nine
months of 1994.  The net income for the first nine months ended
September 30, 1995, was up $509 or 12.86% to $4,467 as compared
to $3,958 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  Earnings
per share were $1.88 in 1995 and were $1.67 in 1994.  Based upon
annualized net income the return on average assets was 1.13% for
the first nine months of 1995 compared to 1.04% for the same
period in 1994.

Vincennes, completed the purchase of $25,462 of deposits from a
federal savings bank, on March 17, 1995.  With these purchased
deposits and other growth in deposits, the Corporation's total
assets have increased $37,937 or 7.35% to $554,033 at September

changes in the balance sheet from December 31, 1994, to September
30, 1995, included inceases in cash and cash equivalents, loans
and loans held for sale and decreases in securities while total
interest bearing deposits inceased and noninterest bearing

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
          OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
          
 As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
    (Dollar amounts in thousands, except share data)


With the continuing loan demand, as demonstrated in loan growth, 
the Corporation has retained a portion of the increased deposits 
purchased in readily available funds, and cash and cash
equivalents have increased $1,972 or 7.41% at September 30, 1995,
from year end 1994.  Total securities and interest bearing
deposits in other banks decreased $13,533 or 8.84% to $139,569 at
September 30, 1995, from $153,102 at December 31, 1994.  The
effect of FAS 115 and the mark-to-market of securities available
for sale added $3,583 to securities available for sale during the
first nine months of 1995.  The FAS 115 negative mark-to-market
adjustment at December 31, 1994, was $4,746 as compared to only
$1,163 at September 30, 1995, and was due to the normal market
adjustment when interest rates are stabilizing.  Without the FAS
115 adjustment, available for sale securities decreased $16,818
or 14.38% from  a combination of maturities and calls and $1,500
of sales during the first nine months of 1995.  There were no
sales or transfers of securities classified as held to maturity
during the period ended September 30, 1995.  Securities held to
maturity increased $102 or .26% due to purchases exceeding
maturities or calls during the nine months ended September 30,
1995.

The Corporation experienced increased loan demand and total loans
increased $47,250 or 14.72% to $368,346 at September 30, 1995,
from $321,096 at December 31, 1994.  Commercial loans increased
$33,037 or 20.66% to $192,951 at September 30, 1995, from
$159,914 at December 31, 1994.  Commercial loan demand showed
steady increases all during the nine months ended September 30,
1995.  Real estate loans increased $7,742 or 9.74% to $87,206 at
September 30, 1995, from $79,464 at December 31, 1994.  As noted
previously, the renewed interest in variable rate mortgage loans
caused this increase.  Installment loans increased $6,471 or
7.92% to $88,189 at September 30, 1995, from $81,718 at December
31, 1994.  Installment loan demand and volume of new loans has
exceeded maturities during 1995.  Loans held for sale also
increased $2,675 or 100.41% at September 30, 1995, to $5,339 from
$2,664 at December 31, 1994.

Total deposits increased $33,047 or 7.26% during the first nine
months of 1995.  Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $7,299 or
14.08% to $44,539 at September 30, 1995, from $51,838 at year end
1994, due to normal reductions of institutional public funds that
were on deposit at December 31, 1994, and not on deposit at
September 30, 1995.  Interest bearing deposits increased $40,346
or 10.00% to $443,742 during the nine months ended September 30,
1995, from $403,396 at December 31, 1994, and was due in part to

 As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 1995

the purchased deposits. Long-term debt, which is mainly
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank that were matched off
against specific fixed rate lending programs, decreased $526 or
16.49% at September 30, 1995, from December 31, 1994, due to
normal repayments.

Total shareholders' equity, including the unrealized loss on
securities available for sale, increased $5,229 or 10.66% to
$54,266 at September 30, 1995, from $49,037 at December 31, 1994. 
The FAS 115 after tax mark-to-market adjustment on the available
for sale securities accounted for $2,245 or 4.58% of this
increase in total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1995,
from December 31, 1994.  The Corporation's regulators have issued
guidelines stating that the unrealized loss on securities
available for sale, other than those related to mutual funds (FAS
115 adjustments), should not be included in shareholders' equity
for capital ratio calculations.  Total shareholders' equity,
excluding the FAS 115 adjustments, was $51,952 at December 31,
1994, and increased $3,000 or 5.77% to $54,952 at September 30,
1995.  This increase was net income of $4,467 less dividends paid
of $1,495 plus $16 related to increased mark-to-market on mutual
funds and $12 related to sales of the Corporation's common stock
for the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan.  The
dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan was changed to a
market only plan, during the second quarter of 1995, and no more
shares of common stock will be issued by the Corporation through
this plan.

Capital adequacy in the banking industry is evaluated primarily
by the use of three required capital ratios based on three
separate calculations; leverage capital, Tier 1 risk-based
capital and total risk-based capital.  The leverage capital ratio
is defined as total ending Tier 1 capital divided by total
average assets less intangible assets and FAS 115 adjustments. 
Tier 1 risk-based capital is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by
risk-weighted assets.  Total risk-based capital is defined as
Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital divided by risk-weighted
assets.  Tier 1 capital is the sum of the core capital elements
(common shareholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred
stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries) less intangible assets and the FAS 115

adjustments.  Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan
losses (limited to an maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets), 
perpetual preferred stock and other hybrid capital instruments.  
Risk-weighted assets are defined to include the assets on the
balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments in
broad categories that are weighted at 20% to 100% depending on
the asset totals within these broad categories.  The
Corporation's capital ratios at September 30, 1995, and December
31, 1994, were:
                         September 30, 1995  December 31, 1994

Leverage capital ratio          10.00%             10.14%
Tier 1 risk-based capital       12.89%             14.32%
Total risk-based capital        13.89%             15.41%


PENDING CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to Be
Disposed Of."  Under this pronouncement, companies are required
to adopt the new method of accounting for the recoverability due
to impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
intangibles, and goodwill related to those assets to be held and
used, and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be disposed of.  FAS 121 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995.  The Corporation has
determined that the implementation of this standard will be
immaterial to its financial statements.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Financial
Accounting Standard No. 122 (FAS 122), "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights."  Under this pronouncement, companies are
required to implement a new method of accounting for the cost of
servicing rights on mortgage loans originated and sold into the
secondary mortgage market.  The cost of the servicing rights on
loans originated and sold, if it is practicable to estimate,
would be recognized as a separate asset and amortized in
proportion to and over the period of the estimated net servicing
rights income.  FAS 122 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995.  The Corporation has not yet determined
the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

PENDING ACQUISITION

On October 12, 1994, the Corporation executed an Agreement of
Merger and Plan of Reorganization that provides for the
Corporation to acquire First Robinson Bancorp, the holding
company for The First National Bank in Robinson, Robinson,
Illinois.  On June 19, 1995, the original Agreement of Merger and
Plan of Reorganization was amended to include the merger of The
First National Bank in Robinson and Farmers' State Bank of
Palestine, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.  As a
result of the amendment, the combined entity resulting from the
merger of First National Bank and Farmers' State Bank will be a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.  The proposed
acquisition will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and
the Corporation will issue 636,504 shares of its common stock in
exchange for the 119,200 currently issued and outstanding shares
of First Robinson Bancorp.  This merger has been approved by the
shareholders of First Robinson Bancorp and the appropriate
regulatory authorities and became effective November 1, 1995.
