INVESTMENT SECURITIES:

In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities", management has reviewed the investment securities portfolio
and classified all securities, except equity securities, as held-to-maturity and
carried at amortized cost since Bancorporation has both the positive intent and
ability to hold these securities to maturity. Equity securities, as required by
SFAS No. 115, are classified as available-for-sale and carried at estimated fair
value with unrealized gains and losses included as a component of stockholders'
equity on an after-tax basis.


LOANS:

     Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated
as nonaccrual loans. Loans, excluding most consumer loans, are placed in
nonaccrual status when principal or interest is delinquent 90 days or more.
Also, loans which are classified doubtful or loss, or where the borrower has
filed bankruptcy, are considered nonaccrual loans. Management considers all
nonaccrual loans to be impaired as well as other loans of which the ultimate
collectibility of principal and interest is uncertain. The effect of applying
SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No.
118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures", to impaired loans is considered immaterial to the consolidated
financial statements. Loans which exceed 90 days past due and are considered
uncollectible are generally charged-off against the allowance for loan losses.

     Payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to principal until such
amount is liquidated in full. Subsequent payments on nonaccrual loans are
recognized as interest income when received. Except in cases where other
accounting or regulatory rules apply, loans are generally returned to accrual
status when the collectibility of both principal and interest on a timely basis
is reasonably assured and all delinquent principal and interest on the loan
become well secured and in the process of collection.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS:

On May 12, 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights", an amendment to SFAS No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage
Banking Activities", which is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 122 requires that a mortgage
servicing entity allocate the total cost of the mortgage loans purchased or
originated to the mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and the loans (without the
MSRs) based on their relative fair values if it is practicable to estimate those
values. If it is not practical to estimate the fair values of the MSRs and the
mortgage loans (without the MSRs), the entire cost of purchasing or originating
the loans should be allocated to the mortgage loan and no cost should be
allocated to the MSR. In addition, SFAS No. 122 requires that an entity assess
its MSR portfolios for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. The
entity must stratify its MSRs that are capitalized after adoption of this
Statement based on one or more of the predominant risk characteristics of the
underlying loans. Impairment should be recognized through a valuation allowance
for each impaired stratum. Under SFAS No. 65, the cost of originated MSRs was
not recognized as an asset but was charged to earnings when the related loan was
sold. In addition, the cost allocation was different for purchased MSRs. In
contrast to a cost allocation based on relative market value as set forth in
SFAS No. 122, the prior requirement was to allocate the costs incurred in excess
of the market value of the loans without the MSRs to purchased MSRs.
Bancorporation has adopted SFAS No. 122 effective January 1, 1996, the effect of
which was not material. Bancorporation accounts for MSR's prior to the adoption
of SFAS No. 122 under the provisions of SFAS No. 65.

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


SUMMARY: (dollars in thousands, except for book value)

Net income was $4,652 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, up 116.57% from
$2,148 reported for the same quarter a year ago, and represented annualized
returns of 15.41% on stockholders' equity and 1.13% on interest-earning assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net income was $8,812 up 105.07% from
$4,297 reported for the same period a year ago, and represented annualized
returns of 15.11% on stockholders' equity and 1.08% on interest-earning assets.
The increase in net income is attributed to an increase in net interest margin
and interest spread, an increase in service charges collected on deposit
accounts and a decrease in the cost of operations.

Taxable equivalent net interest income was up $3,479 or 21.95% and $6,287 or
20.16%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 when
compared to the same periods a year ago. Noninterest income increased by $152 or
3.09% and $676 or 7.14%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1996 as compared to the same periods in 1995. Noninterest expense increased
$22 or .14% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and decreased $584 or 1.85% for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the same periods of 1995.

The provision for loan losses was $1,290 and $2,310 respectively, for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $1,467 and $1,871 in
1995. Net loan losses for the second quarter were $422 or .15% of average gross
loans, up from the $196 or .08% of average gross loans a year earlier.

Average interest-earning assets increased $171,077 or 11.51% and $176,975 or
12.06%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 when
compared with the same periods in 1995. Average gross loans increased $181,589
or 18.54% and $179,924 or 18.73%, respectively, for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same periods in 1995.

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 1996 were $4,150 or .35% of gross loans. The
reserve for loan losses totaled $22,500 and represented 1.90% of period-end
loans and 5.42 times nonperforming assets.

Net income per share for the second quarter of 1996 was $4.90, a 119.73%
increase from $2.23 for the second quarter of 1995, and net income per share for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $9.28, a 108.07% increase from $4.46 for
the same period a year ago. Book value per common share increased 18.81% to
$125.51, as compared to $105.64 for the same period in 1995.

The equity capital to total assets ratio at period-end was 6.71% as compared to
6.24% for the same period in 1995. The Tier 1 and total risk-based capital 
ratios at June 30, 1996 were 9.16% and 10.77%, respectively, compared to
June 30, 1995 ratios 8.63% and 10.52%, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME: (dollars in thousands)
Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $19,331 for the second
quarter of 1996, an increase of 21.95% from $15,852 for the comparable period in
1995. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $37,467 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of 20.16% from the $31,180 for the
comparable period in 1995. Good growth in interest-earning assets, led by loans,
accounted for the rise. Also adding to the increase was an increased yield on
interest-earning assets and lower funding costs. The net yield on
interest-earning assets (taxable equivalent net interest income as a percentage
of average interest-earning assets) increased 36 and 30 basis points,
respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 when compared
to the same periods a year ago. The loan growth was primarily in commercial and
residential mortgages.

interest income for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 and 1995:

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE:  (dollars in thousands)

Total noninterest income for the quarter was $5,064, an increase of 8.30% from
the $4,676 earned for the second quarter of 1995. For the six months ended June
30, 1996, total noninterest income was $10,142, an increase of 7.14% from the
$9,466 earned for the second quarter of 1995. Much of the increase in 
noninterest income was due to an increase in service charges on deposit 
accounts. This increase was the result of growth in the number of deposit 
accounts, the repricing of charges and an increased emphasis on collecting 
service fees formerly waived.

Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1996 was $15,702, a slight
increase of .14% when compared with $15,680 for the same period a year ago. For
the six months ended June 30, 1996 total noninterest expense was $30,914, a 
decrease of 1.85% when compared with $31,498 for the same period a year ago. 
These results were due to staff expenses, the largest category of noninterest 
expenses, being fairly flat, better expense control and a decrease in FDIC 
insurance assessment.

 The following table provides additional details of noninterest income and
expense:
