The   accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting principles for interim financial information
and  with  the  instructions  to Form  10-Q  and  Article  10  of
Regulation  S-X.   Accordingly, they do not include  all  of  the
information   and   footnotes  required  by  generally   accepted
accounting  principles.   In  the  opinion  of  management,   all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)  considered
necessary  for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating
results  for  the six-month period ended June 30, 1996,  are  not
necessarily  indicative of the results that may be  expected  for
the  year  ending  December 31, 1996.  For  further  information,
refer  to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
included in Assumption Bancshares' annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For  purposes  of the condensed consolidated statements  of  cash
flows,  cash  and cash equivalents represent cash  and  due  from
banks and federal funds sold.

Securities

The  Bank  classifies its securities in one of three  categories:
trading,   available-for-sale,  or   held-to-maturity.    Trading
securities  are  bought and held principally for the  purpose  of
selling them in the near future.  Held-to-maturity securities are
those securities in which the Bank has the ability and intent  to
hold  the  security  until maturity.  All  other  securities  not
included  in  trading  or  held-to-maturity  are  classified   as
available-for-sale.

Trading  and available-for-sale securities are recorded  at  fair
value.   Held-to-maturity securities are  recorded  at  amortized
cost,  adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums  or
discounts.   Unrealized  holding  gains  and  losses  on  trading
securities  are included in earnings.  Unrealized  holding  gains
and  losses, net of the related tax effect, on the available-for-
sale securities are excluded from earnings and are reported as  a
separate   component  of  stockholders'  equity  until  realized.
Transfers of securities between categories are recorded  at  fair
value  at  the  date of transfer.  Unrealized holding  gains  and
losses  are  recognized  in earnings for transfers  into  trading
securities.   Unrealized holding gains or losses associated  with
transfers  of  securities from held-to-maturity to  available-for
sale  are  recorded  as  a  separate component  of  stockholders'
equity.  The unrealized holding gains or losses included  in  the
separate  component  of  equity for securities  transferred  from
available-for-sale   to  held-to-maturity  are   maintained   and
amortized  into earnings over the remaining life of the  security
as  an  adjustment  to  yield  in a manner  consistent  with  the
amortization  or  accretion  of  premium  or  discount   on   the
associated security.

A  decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-
to-maturity  security  below  cost  that  is  deemed  other  than
temporary  results  in  a  charge to earnings  resulting  in  the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of
the  related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to  yield
using   the  effective  interest  method.   Interest  income   is
recognized when earned.  Realized gains

and  losses  for securities classified as available-for-sale  and
held-to-maturity are included in earnings and are  derived  using
the  specific identification method for determining the  cost  of
securities sold.

Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan

During  the first quarter of 1995, the Bank adopted Statement  of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by  Creditors
for  Impairment  of  a  Loan  (SFAS No.  114)  and  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 118, Accounting by  Creditors
for  Impairment  of a Loan - Income Recognition  and  Disclosures
(SFAS No. 118).  The Bank adopted the provisions of SFAS No.  114
and  SFAS  No.  118 to all of its loans, except for its  consumer
installment   loans   which   are  collectively   evaluated   for
impairment.  Pursuant to SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118, a loan is
considered  to  be impaired when it is probable that  a  creditor
will  be  unable  to collect principal and interest  amounts  due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  When a
loan  is  impaired,  the  measurement of its  impairment  can  be
determined  in  one of three ways, as follows:  (1)  the  present
value  of the expected cash flows of the loan discounted  at  the
loan's  original  effective interest  rate,  (2)  the  observable
market  price of the impaired loan, or (3) the fair value of  the
collateral of a collateral-dependent loan.  The amount  by  which
the  recorded investment in the loan exceeds the measure  of  the
impaired  loan  is recognized by recording a valuation  allowance
with  a corresponding charge to the provision for possible credit
losses.  The effect of adopting SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118  on
the  Bank's  financial condition and results  of  operations  was
immaterial.

At   June  30,  1996,  impaired  loans,  all  of  which  were  on
nonaccrual, totaled $527,000, of which $94,000 required  a  total
impairment allowance of $50,000.  The average recorded investment
in  impaired loans was approximately $704,000 and $629,000 during
the   six   months  and  three  months  ended  June   30,   1996,
respectively.   The Bank recognized no interest income  on  those
impaired  loans  in  the first half of 1996.   For  all  impaired
loans, the impairment amount was measured using the fair value of
the underlying collateral.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings  per  share  have been computed  on  the  basis  of  the
weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Subsequent Event

On   July   17,  1996,  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Assumption
Bancshares, Inc. declared a $1.50 per share dividend.

        Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                              

Results of Operations

Net  interest income for the six months ended June 30,  1996  was
slightly higher than amounts for the six-month period ended  June
30,  1995.  The Bank achieved a higher rate on earning assets due
to  an increase in the loan portfolio since June 30, 1995.   This
increase in income earned was partially offset by higher rates on
and  higher balances of interest bearing liabilities.  The Bank's
net  interest margins were 4.14% and 4.09% at June 30,  1996  and
1995, respectively.

Other  expenses  at June 30, 1996 totaled $1,741,000,  down  from
$1,783,000  for  the first half of 1995.  During 1995,  the  Bank
Insurance  Fund  (BIF)  administered by  the  FDIC  became  fully
funded.    As  a  result,  the  Bank's  FDIC  insurance  premiums
decreased  from  $55,000 per quarter to $500 per  quarter.   This
decrease  in other expenses was partially offset by increases  in
salaries, employee benefits and legal expenses.

The  provision for income taxes is based on management's estimate
of the expected effective tax rate for the entire year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Fluctuating  interest  rates  and  competitive  forces   in   the
financial  services  industry  have  intensified  the  need   for
management  of  and  matching maturities of  various  assets  and
liabilities.   This  process involves maintaining  liquidity  and
controlling  interest rate sensitivity.  The  goal  of  liquidity
management  is to ensure funds are available for customer  needs.
Interest rate sensitivity management attempts to match shifts  in
earning asset yields with interest paying liability rates.

Net  earnings  for  the  first six months  of  1996  of  $731,000
increased  the  Bank's stockholders' equity while the  unrealized
losses  on  securities  classified as available-for-sale  reduced
stockholders' equity by $299,000, resulting in a net increase  in
equity  for the first six months of 1996 of $432,000.  Management
is  not aware of any recommendations by regulatory authorities or
other  matters  which are reasonably likely to  have  a  material
effect on the Bank's capital resources, liquidity or operations.

Securities,  comprised  primarily of obligations  of  states  and
municipalities    and   government   guaranteed   mortgage-backed
securities, represented 33% and 34% of total assets at  June  30,
1996   and  December  31,  1995,  respectively.   The  securities
portfolio  is  managed with the primary objective  of  generating
interest  income while maintaining an appropriate level of  asset
liquidity  and  controlling the Bank's  net  interest  rate  risk
position.

The market value of the securities portfolio at June 30, 1996 was
98.9%  of  book value, compared to 100.4% at December  31,  1995.
Management does not anticipate any significant effect  on  future
earnings,  liquidity or capital resources  as  a  result  of  the
amounts  of  unrealized  gains  or  unrealized  losses   in   the
securities portfolio.

        Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Securities Available-for-Sale

As  of  June  30,  1996, available-for-sale  securities  includes
securities with an aggregate amortized cost of $21,571,000 and  a
market value of $21,175,000.

Falling  bond  prices caused a decrease in the market  values  of
these  securities  during  the first half  of  1996.   Management
considers the unrealized losses in the securities portfolio to be
temporary  in  nature.   A  net  unrealized  loss,  net  of  tax,
$262,000,  is  included as a separate component of  stockholders'
equity  at  June 30, 1996.  The net unrealized loss before  taxes
included  gross unrealized gains of $128,000 and gross unrealized
losses   of   $390,000.   Stockholders'  equity   reflected   net
unrealized  losses, net of tax, of $137,000 at the  end  of  last
quarter and $113,000 at June 30, 1995.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming    assets,   which   include   nonaccrual    loans,
restructured  loans  and foreclosed assets, totaled  $559,000  at
June  30,  1996, compared to $912,000 at March 31, 1996, $874,000
at year-end 1995, and $763,000 at June 30, 1995.

As   a   percentage  of  total  loans  plus  foreclosed   assets,
nonperforming assets were 1.0% at June 30, 1996, compared to 1.3%
at  March  31, 1996, 1.5% at year-end 1995, and 1.4% at June  30,
1995.

The  following table sets forth the past due and nonaccrual loans
(in thousands of dollars):

Nonaccrual  loans  at  June  30,  1996  have  decreased  slightly
compared  to  June 30, 1995, and are down approximately  $368,000
compared to year-end 1995.

Loans   are   placed  on  nonaccrual  status  when   management's
assessment  of the borrowers' financial condition indicates  that
collection   of   interest   is   doubtful.    In   making   this
determination, management considers current economic and business
conditions, the nature of the collateral, collection efforts  and
regulatory guidelines.

Management  has  identified approximately $118,000  of  potential
problem   loans,   which  are  loans  for  which   payments   are
contractually   current   but   the   borrowers   are   presently
experiencing financial difficulties at June 30, 1996,  which  are
not otherwise identified as past due or nonaccrual.

           Management's Discussion and Analysis of
        Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                              

The  provision for loan losses for the first six months  of  1996
was  $18,000, consistent with the first six months of 1995.  This
relatively  low provision is due to the continued  low  level  of
charge-offs experienced by the Bank.  Net recoveries for the  six
months ended June 30, 1996 were $6,400.  Additionally, the Bank's
allowance  for  loan losses as a percentage of  gross  loans  has
remained  consistent  at 2.01% and 2.09% at  June  30,  1996  and
December  31,  1995,  respectively.   Management  evaluates   the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on an ongoing basis and
believes,  based on its analysis, that the allowance is  adequate
to absorb losses in the portfolio.

Changes in the total allowance for loan losses for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

The   allowance  for  possible  loan  losses  as  a  percent   of
nonperforming  loans was 231%, 165%, 140% and 173%  at  June  30,
1996,  March  31,  1996, December 31, 1995, and  June  30,  1995,
respectively.   Management has determined that the allowance  for
possible  loan  losses  at June 30, 1996, is  adequate  to  cover
losses inherent in its loan portfolio.

The  amount  of  additional interest income on nonaccrual  loans,
which  would have been recognized for the six months  ended  June
30,  1996  and  1995,  had  the  related  loans  been  performing
according  to  their  original terms,  approximates  $23,400  and
$28,000, respectively.  No income was recognized during 1996  and
1995 on these loans.
