                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (Dollar amounts in thousands, except for share data)

NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  CNB
Bancshares,  Inc.  (Corporation)  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  after
elimination  of  all  material  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions.

     The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements have been
prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting principles for
interim  financial  reporting  and  do  not  include  all  the information and
footnotes  required  for  a  complete  presentation  of consolidated financial
statements.    The Corporation's accounting and reporting policies for interim
financial  reporting  are  consistent with those followed for annual financial
reporting.    In  the  opinion  of  management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations  for  the  periods  reported  have  been  included in the foregoing
interim  consolidated financial statements.  The interim results of operations
presented  are  not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for  the  full  year.   A complete description of the Corporation's accounting
policies and footnotes is contained in the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders.

NOTE 2: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

     On February 14, 1997, the Corporation issued 754,810 shares of its common
stock  in  exchange for all of the outstanding shares of BMC Bancshares, Inc.,
(BMC)  parent  company  for  Bank  of  Mt.  Carmel, Mt. Carmel, Illinois.  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for  under  the  pooling  of  interests method of
accounting  and,  accordingly, all financial data of the Corporation for prior
periods  has  been  restated  to  include the financial position and operating
results of this acquisition.  At the date of acquisition, BMC had total assets
and  shareholders'  equity  of  $100,041  and  $13,583,  respectively.

     On  October 14, 1997,  the Corporation  signed a definitive  agreement to
acquire  all of the  outstanding  shares of Pinnacle  Financial Services, Inc.
(Pinnacle),  headquartered  in  St.  Joseph,  Michigan.  Under  terms  of  the
agreement, the Corporation will  issue approximately 13 million  shares of its
common  stock.  The  transaction will be  accounted for  under the  pooling of
interests method of  accounting and is  subject to approval by shareholders of
the Corporation and Pinnacle and applicable regulatory agencies.  Although the
Corporation anticipates that  the merger will be consummated during the second
quarter  of 1998,  there  can be  no assurances  that the acquisition  will be
completed.  At September 30, 1997, Pinnacle had total assets and shareholders'
equity of $2,185,174 and $175,697, respectively.


                                                                  Page 5 of 24

NOTE 3: INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND HELD TO MATURITY,
        CONTINUED:

     Proceeds  from  sales  of investment securities available for sale during
the  nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997, were $599,242.  Gross gains and
losses  realized  on  those  sales  were  $2,099  and  $1,189,  respectively.

NOTE 4: IMPAIRED LOANS

     At  September 30, 1997, impaired loans totaled $15,785.  An allowance for
loan  losses  of  $1,361  was recorded for impaired loans totaling $6,628.  At
December 31, 1996, impaired loans totaled $18,172.  An allowance of $1,653 was
recorded for impaired loans totaling $7,420.  The average balance for impaired
loans  was  $14,424  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997.

NOTE 5: INTEREST  RATE  CONTRACTS

     Through  the  purchase  of  interest  rate  cap  agreements  (caps),  the
Corporation has reduced the impact of increased interest rates on its costs to
acquire certain deposits, repurchase agreements and long-term borrowings being
hedged.   These caps entitle the Corporation to receive periodic payments from
counterparties  based  upon  the notional amount of the caps and the excess of
the  index  rate  over  the  strike  price.  Amortization of premiums paid for
interest  rate  caps  totaled  $1,512  and  $1,060  for  the nine months ended
September  30,  1997  and  1996,  respectively.    This  expense was offset by
counterparty  reimbursements  of  $288  and  $586  for  the  nine months ended
September  30,  1997  and  1996,  respectively.

     At  September 30, 1997, the notional amount of the interest rate caps was
$390,000.    The caps are indexed to LIBOR with contract strike prices ranging
from  5.50%  to  6.00%  and  mature  through  the fourth quarter of 1999.  The
carrying  value  and estimated market value of the caps at September 30, 1997,
was  $2,638  and  $1,429,  respectively.

     The  Corporation  has entered into interest rate swaps as a hedge against
certain  long-term  borrowings  to  manage its interest rate sensitivity.  The
contracts  represent  an  exchange  of  interest  payments  and the underlying
principal  balances  of  the  liabilities  are not affected.  At September 30,
1997,  the  Corporation  had  swaps  with  a  notional  value of $55,000.  The
agreements  require  the  Corporation  to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging
from  5.77%  to  6.12% and receive a variable rate based on three-month LIBOR.
The  agreements  terminate  on  or prior to January 12, 2001.  The Corporation
paid  $2,473  while  receiving  $2,360  from  these agreements during the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1997.

     The Corporation is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its
payments under a contract in which the Corporation is in a receiving status.
Although collateral or other security is not obtained, the Corporation minimizes
its credit risk by monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties and
anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their
obligation under the agreements.

     At  September 30, 1997, option forward contracts, if exercised, committed
the  Corporation  to  sell  $20,000  par  value  of mortgage-backed securities
available  for  sale  at prices not less than their carrying values during the
fourth quarter of 1997.  Fees received from these contracts have been deferred
until  expiration,  termination  or  exercise  of  the  contract.

                                                                  Page 7 of 24

     On  September  2,  1997,  the  Corporation  called  the  $5.6  million of
outstanding  convertible  subordinated  debentures  effective  October  3.
Debentures  totaling  $4.4  million  were  converted  during the third quarter
resulting  in 259,344 shares being issued.    An additional 68,864 shares were
issued  during  the  fourth quarter related to the conversion of the remaining
debentures.

NOTE 7: NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net  income  per  share  has  been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted  average  number  of  common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during  each  period.   The assumed conversion of the convertible subordinated
debentures  into  common  shares had no material dilutive effect on net income
per  share.

     On  September  10,  1996, the Corporation declared a one-for-twenty stock
dividend,  distributed  October  11, 1996.  A one-for-twenty dividend was also
declared  on  August  11, 1997, and distributed September 18, 1997.  All share
data included in the consolidated financial statements, notes and Management's
Discussion  and  Analysis  has  been  adjusted  for  these  stock  dividends.

     In  February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement  No.  128  "Earnings  Per  Share."    This  statement simplifies the
computation  of earnings per share and requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted  earnings  per  share  on  the  face  of  the  income statement.  This
statement  is  effective  for  financial  statements issued for periods ending
after  December  15,  1997,  with  earlier  application  not  permitted.

     The application of this standard would have resulted in earnings per share
as follows:

NOTE 8: NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


     The  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board has issued Statement No. 130,
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,"  which establishes standards for reporting
and  display  of  comprehensive  income  and its components.  In addition, the
Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  has  issued  Statement  No.  131,
"Disclosures  about  Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which
establishes  standards  for disclosing information about operating segments in
interim and annual financial statements.  The Corporation will comply with the
new  disclosure  requirements  beginning  in 1998.  The application of the new
rules will not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial condition
or  results  of  operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except for share data)

OVERVIEW
- --------

     Net  income  for  the three months ended September 30, 1997, was $12,750,
compared  to $7,078 earned in the same period of 1996, when a one-time special
assessment,  required  of  all financial institutions with deposits insured by
the  Savings  Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), reduced net income by $3,045,
or  $.14  on  a  per share basis.  Net income per share was $.62 for the three
months  ended  September 30, 1997, compared to $.34 for the three months ended
September  30, 1996.  Net income for the first nine months of 1997 was $36,368
compared  to  $27,062 earned in the same period of 1996, an increase of 34.4%.
Net  income  per share was $1.75 and $1.30 for the nine months ended September
30,  1997 and 1996, respectively.  The increased earnings was primarily due to
growth  in  earning  assets  and  non-interest  income.    Net interest income
increased $7,526, or 6.8%, over the first nine months of 1996 due to growth in
earning  assets  of  10.4%.    The net interest margin, however, declined from
4.15%  for  the  first  three  quarters  of  1996 to 4.04% for the first three
quarters  of  1997,  primarily  due  to  reduced  loan  yields coupled with an
increase  in  cost  of  funds.

     Net  income  of $12,750 for the third quarter of 1997 increased over 1997
first  and  second  quarter results of $11,552 and $12,066, respectively.  Net
income  per  share was $.62 for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $.55 and
$.58  for  the  first  and  second  quarters  of  1997,  respectively.

     The  Corporation's  total  assets at September 30, 1997, were $4,416,571,
which  were  $199,996  greater  than  the $4,216,575 at December 31, 1996, and
$336,253,  or  8.2%,  greater  than total assets at September 30, 1996.  Total
loans  of  $2,436,103  at  September  30,  1997,  increased from $2,275,089 at
December  31,  1996,  and  from  $2,192,945  one  year  ago.

     Annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders' equity for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, were 1.13% and 15.05%, respectively,
compared  with  .93%  and 11.44% for the same period of 1996.  For the quarter
ended  September  30,  1997,  annualized returns on average assets and average
shareholders' equity were 1.17% and 15.86%, respectively, compared to .70% and
8.72%  in  the  third quarter of 1996, including the one-time SAIF assessment.

     Cash  dividends,  adjusted  for the 5% stock dividend declared August 11,
1997,  of  $.21  per  share  were  declared  during  the third quarter of 1997
representing an increase of 10.5% compared with $.19 per share during the same
period  of 1996.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, total
dividends  declared  were  $12,908  and  $11,516,  respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

     Net  interest income is the Corporation's largest component of income and
represents  the  difference  between  interest  and  fees  earned on loans and
investments  and  the  interest  paid  on  interest  bearing liabilities.  Net
interest  income  was  $117,827  for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
compared  with  $110,301 for the same period in 1996.  Net interest income for
the  most  recent quarter was $39,568 compared to $38,231 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996.  The increased net interest income was the result of
a  7.5%  and  10.4%  increase  in  average  earning  assets  on  a quarter and
year-to-date  basis,  respectively, compared to 1996 periods, partially offset
by  a  decline in the net interest margin over the same periods.  Net interest
income  for the most recent quarter was $291 less than the $39,859 recorded in
the second quarter of 1997 due to the effects of a reduced net interest margin
partially  offset  by  a  $38.7  million  increase  in average earning assets.

                                                                 Page 10 of 24

NET INTEREST INCOME, CONTINUED
- ------------------------------

     The net interest margin is a percentage computed by dividing net interest
income  on  a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE") by average earning assets
and  represents a measure of basic earnings on interest bearing assets held by
the  Corporation.    The annualized net interest margins were 4.04% and 4.15%,
respectively,  for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.  Average
earning  assets  for  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1997, increased to
$4,028,258  from  $3,650,075  for  the  same  period  in  1996.  Average loans
increased  $249  million  to  $2,348,204  for the first three quarters of 1997
compared  to 1996 and represented 58.3% of earning assets compared to 57.5% in
1996.    Average investment securities increased $219 million during the first
nine  months  of  1997  compared  to  1996  and represented 41.1% and 39.3% of
earning  assets  for  similar  periods  of  1997  and  1996,  respectively.

</TABLE>


     The decline in the net interest margin from the first nine months of 1996
was  primarily  due  to  the  May  30 sale of the credit card portfolio and an
increased  cost  of  funds.  The sale of the credit card portfolio resulted in
approximately  a  4 basis point reduction in the margin.  Interest income as a
percentage  of  earning  assets  increased  2 basis points to 8.34% during the
first  nine  months  of 1997 compared to 8.32% during the same period one year
prior despite the sale of the credit card portfolio.  Yields on loans declined
5  basis  points  to  9.29%  during  this  period.    The  yield on investment
securities increased from 6.93% for the first nine months of 1996 to 7.02% for
the  same  period of 1997.  Interest expense as a percentage of earning assets
increased by 13 basis points from 4.17% to 4.30% from the first three quarters
of  1996  to  the  first  three  quarters  of  1997, respectively, due to more
competitive  pricing  and  a  shift  in  the  funding  mix  to  marginally
higher-costing  funds.

     An  ongoing  objective  of  the  Corporation's asset/liability management
policy  is to match rate-adjustable assets and liabilities at similar maturity
horizons  so  that  changes  in  interest  rates  will  not  result  in  wide
fluctuations  in  net  interest  income.    The  rate  sensitivity position is
computed for various repricing intervals by calculating rate sensitivity gaps.
The  Corporation had a cumulative one-year negative gap on September 30, 1997,
of $172,107 which represented 4.1% of the $4,147,989 in earning assets at that
date.   Net interest income at financial institutions with negative gaps tends
to decrease in periods of rising interest rates and increase as interest rates

                                                                 Page 11 of 24

decline.    Management  also  utilizes  a  simulation  model  to  measure  the
Corporation's  net  interest  income  volatility  to  changes  in the level of
interest  rates,  interest  rate  spreads,  the  shape  of the yield curve and
changing  product  growth  patterns and investment strategies.  Results of the
simulation  model indicate that the Corporation's net interest income would be
affected  by  approximately  2.25%  or  less should interest rates increase or
decrease  by  up  to  200  basis  points.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

     During the  first nine  months of 1997,  non-interest income was  $43,774
compared  to  $41,903  reported for the same  period in 1996.  The  first nine
months of  1996 included net  gains of $4,914  from the securitization  of two
large  packages  totaling  $235 million of  residential  mortgage  loans.  Net
securities gains  of $910  were recorded  during the first nine months of 1997
compared  to  $702  for  the  same  period  of  1996.   Excluding  net  loan
securitization  and securities gains, non-interest  income for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1997, totaled  $42,864, which  represented an increase of
18.1%  compared to the  same period of  1996.  Third quarter 1997 non-interest
income was $1,176 greater than second quarter 1997 but $213 less than the 1996
third quarter when  $2,336 of the above  gains from  loan securitizations were
recorded.  Improvements  were  broad  based as  most  non-interest  categories
increased from third quarter 1996 and second quarter 1997.

     Service  charges  on  deposit  accounts  increased $1,151 or 12.3% due to
increased  volumes  and  improved  efforts  to collect a greater percentage of
assessed  fees.   Trust and plan administration fees increased $1,483 or 31.1%
compared  to  the first nine months of 1996 primarily due to increased benefit
plan administration fees of $1,063 resulting from the May 31, 1996 purchase of
Small  Parker  &  Blossom.   Insurance commissions increased $206 for the nine

credit  life  and  disability  insurance  offered by the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries  increased  $152 or 5.6% due to improved sales penetration to new

sharing  bonuses  received  from insurance underwriters during the first three
quarters  of  1997,  which are experience related and associated with policies
written  during  the prior year, were $56 less than payments received in 1996.
Mortgage  banking  revenues declined by $4,364 during the first nine months of

generating  net  gains  of  $4,914.  Non-interest fees on loans increased $170
during  the  first  nine  months  of  1997  compared  to 1996 primarily due to
increased  merchant  credit  card  transaction volumes.  Merchant transactions
generated  revenues of $2,675 during the first nine months of 1997 compared to
$2,369 for the same period one year ago.  This was partially offset by reduced
retail  credit  card  revenues  due  to the sale of the portfolio.  During the
second  quarter  of  1997  the  Corporation  entered  into  a  joint marketing
arrangement with a leading national credit card issuer which included the sale
of  its  $31  million  credit  card  portfolio.   The Corporation continues to
receive  a portion of future credit card revenues generated from its customers
without any credit risk associated with the outstanding balances. Other income
increased  to  $8,675  during  the  nine months ended September 30, 1997, from
$5,756  for the comparable period of 1996.  The Corporation recorded a gain of
$646  during  the  second  quarter  of  1997  from the sale of its credit card
portfolio,  as previously discussed.  The remaining increase is due in part to
increased  revenues  of  $296  from  net  trading account gains, $279 from the
expiration  of  interest  rate option contracts, $1,424 from a corporate-owned
life  insurance  program  and  $419  from  non-customer ATM access fees, a new
revenue  source  beginning  in  May  1996.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
- --------------------

     Non-interest  expense,  which  includes  personnel,  occupancy  costs,
equipment  and  other operating expenses was $98,217 for the nine months ended
September  30,  1997,  compared  to  $104,289  for  the same period of 1996, a
decrease  of  5.8%.    Non-recurring  charges  of  $4.5  million for personnel
expenses  related to the continued centralization of back-office functions and
various  other  one-time  charges  related  to closed offices and equipment no
longer  used  and a $5.0 million SAIF assessment were included in non-interest
expenses  for  the  first  nine  months  of  1996.    Excluding these charges,
non-interest  expenses  increased  $3,325  or  3.5% from the nine months ended
September  30,  1996.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE, CONTINUED
- -------------------------------

The  Corporation  continues to emphasize  performance-based awards tied to net
income  per  share  and sales of fee- based services.  A portion of the salary
expense  increase  is  due to increased staff from May 1996 acquisitions where
prior  periods  were not restated.  The remaining increase is generally due to
normal  salary  increases  and  related  expenses  associated  with  increased
business  activity.  Occupancy and equipment expenses increased 5.3% and 6.8%,
respectively,  during  the  first  nine  months of 1997 as the Corporation was
operating  additional  finance  offices  and  two new non-banking subsidiaries
during  1997  compared  to  1996.  Professional fees increased $212 during the
first  three  quarters of 1997 compared to the same period one year ago due to
increased  legal  fees and fees in lieu of salaries as certain staff functions
have  been outsourced.  Reduced credit card promotions resulted in a reduction
in  advertising  expense  of $288 or 8.4% from one year ago.  Management chose
not  to  offer  any  significant  credit  card  solicitations  in light of the
increase  in  credit  card  delinquencies experienced nationally by the credit
card  industry  and  the pending sale of its portfolio, which became effective
May  30,  as  previously discussed. Other expenses decreased $4,229 during the
first  nine  months  of  1997  compared  to the same period of 1996.  One-time
charges  of  $1,983 related to the closure of five offices recorded during the
first  quarter  of 1996 and charges of $922 for equipment write-offs and other
one-time  operational  charges recorded during the third quarter accounted for
the  majority  of  the  decrease.  FDIC assessments, exclusive of the one-time
SAIF  assessment,  decreased $1,378 during the nine months ended September 30,
1997,  compared  to  the  same  period  of 1996 as a result of assessment rate
modifications  approved in September 1996.  Operating expenses as a percentage
of  revenues,  commonly referred to as the efficiency ratio, improved from 63%
during  the  first  nine months of 1996 to 59% during the first nine months of
1997.

     Management has formed a task force to analyze the business and operational
risk associated with modifying systems for the  year  2000.  Completion of  the
study and full implementation of any required changes are targeted for December
31, 1998.  However  at this time, management  does not  anticipate any material
impact to the Corporation.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
- ------------------

     Income  tax  expense  was $18,462 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997,  compared  with  $13,975 for the same period in 1996.  The effective tax
rate  was  33.7%  and  34.1%  for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996,  respectively.  The decline in the effective tax rate is attributable to
an increase in income from tax exempt sources, including municipal investments
and corporate owned-life insurance.  Tax exempt interest income from municipal
securities increased $1,995 during the first nine months of 1997 as additional
investments were made.  Investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies
on  certain  officers  generated  $1,424 of additional income during the first
three  quarters  of  1997  compared  to  the  same  period  one  year  ago.

LOANS
- -----

     Loans were $2,436,103  at September 30, 1997, compared  to $2,275,089  at
December 31, 1996, and $2,192,945 at  September 30, 1996.  The loan  portfolio
increased $161,014 or 9.4% annualized from year-end 1996 and $243,158 or 11.1%
from one year  ago.  Growth was experienced  in all loan categories during the
third quarter of 1997 compared to year-end 1996 and one year prior and the mix
of the loan portfolio remained relatively constant over the last twelve months.

                                                                   Page 14 of 24

     Commercial  loans  increased to $708,704  at September 30, 1997, compared
to  $679,609  at  December  31,  1996  and  $630,540  at  September  30, 1996.
Commercial  loans  accounted  for 29.1% of the loan portfolio at September 30,
1997  compared  to  28.8%  at  September  30,  1996.

     Real  estate mortgage loans, which consist of residential, commercial and
agricultural  loans  secured  by  real  estate and construction loans, totaled
$1,079,755  at  September  30,  1997,  compared  to  $953,985  one year prior.
Residential  mortgage  loans  increased  $8,495 from year-end 1996 and $21,376
from  one  year  ago.  Residential mortgage loans were 30.8% of total loans at
September  30,  1997,  compared  to  33.1%  one  year  prior.   Demand for new
residential  mortgage loans remained strong throughout most of 1996 and during
the  second  and third quarters of 1997 but the Corporation sold a significant
portion  of  that  production.    The  Corporation  originated  $52 million of
residential  mortgage  loans  in the first quarter of 1997, $77 million in the
second  quarter and $80 million in the third quarter.  Current asset-liability
management policy dictates that most adjustable rate and fixed rate loans with
original  maturities  exceeding  15  years are sold in the secondary market or
securitized.    Fixed  rate  balloon  and  15-year mortgage loans may be sold,
securitized  and  held  in  the  investment  portfolio  or  held  in  the loan
portfolio,  depending on market conditions at the time the loan is originated.
While  the  Corporation  may  sell  certain  loans  in  the  secondary market,
servicing  rights  are generally retained.  At September 30, 1997, $851,713 of
residential  mortgage  loans  originated by the Corporation's subsidiary banks
and  subsequently  sold  in  the  secondary  market  were  being serviced.  In
addition  to  residential  real  estate  mortgages  reported  as  loans,  the
Corporation  held  $17,969, $6,457 and $4,754 of real estate loans for sale at
September  30,  1997, December 31, 1996, and September 30, 1996, respectively.

     Consumer loans, which  include installment, home  equity  and credit card
loans,  increased $27,797 from  December 31, 1996, and $33,692  from one  year
ago.  As previously mentioned, the Corporation sold its credit card  portfolio
effective  May 30.  These  loans  totaled  $34,523  at  December 31, 1996, and
$33,870 at  September 30, 1996.  Excluding  credit card  loans, consumer loans
increased  $62,320 and $67,562 from December 31, 1996, and September 30, 1996,
respectively.  Of this increase from one year ago, $19.2 million was the result
of 1996  acquisitions.  Installment  loan balances have  continued to increase
during  1997 primarily due to  indirect  automobile loans.  Direct installment
loan activity  was promoted more  heavily during the second and third quarters
and increased $14,603 or 7.3%  annualized from year-end 1996.  Home equity and
other lines of credit outstandings increased $11,003 and $14,726 from year-end
1996 and one year ago, respectively.

                                                                 Page 15 of 24

     The  Corporation's  loan  portfolio  contains  no  loans  to  foreign
governments,  foreign  enterprises,  foreign operations of domestic companies,
nor  any concentrations to borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries
that  exceed  10%  of  total  loans.

ASSET QUALITY
- --------------

     The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  maintained  at  a level considered
adequate  by  management to absorb potential loan losses by evaluations of the
loan  portfolio on a continuing basis.  This evaluation by management includes
consideration  of past loan loss experience, changes in the composition of the
portfolio,  the volume and condition of loans outstanding, expected cash flows
or  the  observable  market  price  of  the  loans  or  the  fair value of the
collateral  for impaired loans, as well as the financial condition of specific
borrowers  and  current  economic  conditions.

     The  allowance  for  loan  losses  was  $34,110  at  September  30, 1997,
representing 1.40% of total loans, compared with $31,262 at December 31, 1996,
which  represented  1.37%  of  total  loans and $30,706 at September 30, 1996,
which represented 1.40% of total loans.  Annualized net charge-offs to average
loans  was  .32% during the first nine months of 1997 compared to .47% for the
same  period of 1996.  The provision for loan losses to average loans was .49%
and  .44% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The  allowance  for  loan losses to non-performing loans was 168% at September
30,  1997,  compared  to 144% at December 31, 1996, and 147%  at September 30,
1996.

     Risk  assets  consist  of non-performing loans, foreclosed properties and
loans  90 days or more past due but accruing.  Although these assets have more
than a normal risk of loss, they will not necessarily result in a higher level
of  future  charge-offs  or  losses.

     Non-performing  loans  consist  of  loans  classified  as  troubled  debt
restructurings and loans on non-accrual status.  As indicated in the following
table,  the  Corporation's  non-performing  loans  as  of  September 30, 1997,
totaled  $20,273,  a  decrease  of  $1,493  from  December  31,  1996.    The
non-performing  loans  to total loans ratio was .83% on September 30, 1997, as
compared  to .96% on December 31, 1996, and .95% on September 30, 1996.  Total
risk  assets  equaled  1.01%  of  loan-related  assets  at September 30, 1997,
compared  to  1.20%  at  December  31,

                                                                 Page 16 of 24

1996.   In addition to loans classified as risk assets, there were other loans
totaling  $9,655  at September 30, 1997, where the borrowers were experiencing
difficulties  and management is closely monitoring the borrowers' abilities to
comply  with  payment  terms.  However, conditions at this time do not warrant

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
- ---------------------

     Total  investment  securities  available  for  sale  and held to maturity
represented  40.8%  of earning assets at September 30, 1997, compared to 41.3%
and  41.7%  at  December  31, 1996, and September 30, 1996, respectively.  The
portfolio  has  continued  to  shift  toward  investments  in  mortgage-backed
securities,  predominately underwritten to the standards of, and guaranteed by
government  sponsored  enterprises.    These securities generally yield 70-100
basis  points  more than comparable U.S. Treasury securities.  Mortgage-backed
securities differ from traditional debt securities in that they have uncertain
maturity  dates  and  are  priced  based  on estimated prepayment rates on the
underlying  mortgages.  Prepayment rates generally can be expected to increase
during  periods  of  lower  interest  rates  as  the  underlying mortgages are
refinanced  at  lower  market  rates.   Conversely, the average lives of these
securities  generally  are extended as interest rates increase.  The estimated
average  life  of these securities and the overall portfolio was 4.3 years and
4.8  years,  respectively,  at  September  30,  1997.

                                                                 Page 17 of 24

DEPOSITS AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS
- -----------------------------------

     Total  deposits  were  $3,054,444  at  September  30,  1997,  compared to
$3,114,730  and  $2,961,575  at  December  31,  1996,  and September 30, 1996,
respectively.    Since December 31, 1996, non-interest bearing deposits, which
were  seasonally  high  at  year-end, declined by $35,087 and interest bearing
deposits  decreased  by  $25,199.    A  change  in the mix of interest-bearing
deposits  due  to  changes  in  market  rates  and  new  product  features and
promotions  resulted  in money market deposit accounts increasing $80,605 from
year-end  to  $409,397  while  large  certificates of deposit declined $34,939
during this period to $210,442, interest checking accounts declined $43,394 to
$376,269  and  savings accounts declined $19,358 to $212,405.  The Corporation
increased  its  short-term  borrowings  as  a  more  cost-effective  funding
alternative  to  large  certificates  of  deposit  and  certain  other
interest-bearing  deposit  sources.    Non-interest bearing deposits increased
from  September  30, 1996, by $1,061 while interest bearing deposits increased
by $91,808.

     Securities  sold  under  repurchase  agreements  are acquired in national
markets  as  well  as from the Corporation's commercial customers as part of a
cash  management  service.    Repurchase  agreements, which play a key role in
funding  earning assets, were $656,046, $530,261 and $503,738 at September 30,
1997,  December  31, 1996, and September 30, 1996, respectively.  A portion of
these  repurchase  agreements,  acquired  to  fund  certain fixed rate earning
assets,  is  being  hedged  by  interest  rate  caps.

     Long-term  debt  totaled  $257,826  at  September  30,  1997, compared to
$176,730  at  December 31, 1996, and $206,282 at September 30, 1996.  Advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank accounted for $218,640 of total long-term debt
at  September  30,  1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Liquidity  is  a  measure  of  the  Corporation's  ability  to  meet  its
customers' present and future deposit withdrawals and/or increased loan demand
without  unduly  penalizing  earnings.   The Corporation manages its liquidity
needs through a coordinated asset/liability management program directed by the
Funds  Management  and  Investment  Committee.

     Liquidity  is  provided  by  projecting credit demand and other financial
needs  and  then  maintaining  sufficient  funding  sources and assets readily
convertible  into  cash  to  meet  these  requirements.    The Corporation has
provided  for  its  liquidity  needs by maintaining adequate balances in money
market assets, through growth in core deposits, maturing loans and investments
in  its  securities  portfolio and by maintaining various short-term borrowing
sources.    At  September 30, 1997, the Corporation had $289,349 in investment
securities maturing within one year.  The Corporation additionally has federal
funds  lines  and  other  borrowing sources available to it and its subsidiary
banks.    Investment  securities maturing within one year and unused borrowing
sources  are considered by management to provide adequate liquidity in view of
projected needs.  The Parent Company's liquidity is provided by dividends from
its  subsidiaries and a $35,000 bank line of credit of which $26,000 was being
used  at  September  30,  1997.

     The  Corporation  continues  to  maintain a strong capital position which
supports  its current needs and provides a sound foundation to support further
expansion.    Total  shareholders' equity at September 30, 1997, was $329,804,
compared  to $325,414 at December 31, 1996 and $317,277 at September 30, 1996.
The Corporation and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory
capital  requirements  administered  by  the  federal  banking agencies. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action,

                                                                 Page 18 of 24

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED
- ------------------------------------------

the  Corporation  and  its  banking  subsidiaries  must  meet specific capital
guidelines  that  involve  quantitative  measures  of their respective assets,
liabilities,  and  certain  off-balance-sheet  items  as  calculated  under
regulatory  accounting practices.  Capital amounts and classification are also
subject  to  qualitative  judgments  by  the regulators about components, risk
weightings,  and  other  factors.

     Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation  to  ensure  capital
adequacy  require  the  Corporation  and  its banking subsidiaries to maintain
minimum  amounts  and  ratios  of  total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations)  to  risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as
defined)  to  average  assets  (as  defined).  Management believes, that as of
September  30, 1997, the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries exceeded all
regulatory  capital  adequacy  requirements  to  which  they  were  subject.

     As  of  September  30, 1997, the most recent notification from regulatory
agencies  categorized  the  subsidiary  banks  as  well  capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or
events  since  that  notification  that  management  believes have changed the
subsidiary  banks'  categories.  The Corporation's actual and minimum required
capital  amounts  and  ratios  as  mandated by the regulators at September 30,
1997,  include:
