NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Carlinville National Bank Shares, Inc. (the "Company") provides a full range 
of banking services to individual and corporate customers throughout 
Macoupin, Montgomery, Christian, and Sangamon counties of central Illinois, 
through the five locations of its wholly-owned subsidiary banks, Carlinville 
National Bank and Palmer Bank (the "Banks").  The Company and the Banks are 
subject to competition from other financial and nonfinancial institutions 
providing financial products throughout the central Illinois area.  
Additionally, the Company and the Banks are subject to the regulations of 
certain Federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those 
regulatory agencies. The Company also maintains a nonbanking subsidiary which 
operates a tax return preparation service.  The operations of the nonbanking 
subsidiary are not material to the Company's consolidated results of 
operations.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial 
statements as of June 30, 1998 and for the three and six months ended June 
30, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the 
instructions outlined in Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information 
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for 
complete financial statements. 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 periods ended 
June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be 
expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.  For further information, 
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the 
year ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2 - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" 
("FAS 130").  FAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of 
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and 
losses) in financial statements.  FAS 130 defines comprehensive income as the 
change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from 
transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources, 
including all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from 
investments by and distributions to owners.

FAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized as 
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed 
with the same prominence as other financial statements.  FAS 130 also 
requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income 
by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated 
balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and 
additional paid in capital in the equity section of the consolidated balance 
sheet.

FAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1997, with 
reclassification of financial statements of earlier periods required for 
comparative purposes.  The accompanying interim condensed consolidated 
financial statements as of June 30, 1998 and for the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared in accordance with FAS 130.

Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128") 
which amends existing accounting requirements and establishes standards for 
computing and presenting earnings per share for entities with publicly-held 
common stock or potential common stock.  FAS 128 simplifies the standards for 
computing earnings per share, replacing the presentation of primary earnings 
per share with basic earnings per share, which excludes dilution and is 
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  FAS 128 also 
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the 
face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital 
structures, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of 
the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of 
the diluted earnings per share computation.  Diluted earnings per share 
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other 
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock 
or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shares in the earnings 
of the entity.

FAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after 
December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior period earnings per 
share information presented.  At June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company did not 
maintain a complex capital structure as defined by FAS 128.

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 125, "Transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and 
Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("FAS 125"), on January 1, 1997.  FAS 125 
provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of 
financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on consistent 
application of a financial components approach that focuses on control.  FAS 
125 distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers 
that are secured borrowings.  Adoption of FAS 125 did not have a material 
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or 
liquidity.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about 
Capital Structure" ("FAS 129") which establishes standards for disclosing 
information about an entity's capital structure.  FAS 129 is effective for 
financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Since FAS 
129 is a disclosure requirement, it will have no impact on the Company's 
consolidated financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITIONS AND PENDING MERGERS

Effective January 24, 1997, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding 
capital stock of Lincoln Trail Bancshares, Inc. ("Lincoln Trail"), which 
owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of Palmer Bank in Taylorville, 
Illinois, in exchange for cash of $3,045,984. Total consolidated assets of 
Lincoln Trail at January 24, 1997 were approximately $35.4 million. The

acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction and, 
accordingly, the consolidated operations of Lincoln Trail from January 24, 
1997 forward are included in the consolidated results of operations of the 
Company.  The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, 
which amounted to $2,048,407, is being amortized on a straight line basis 
over 15 years.

The fair value of the consolidated net assets acquired from Lincoln Trail at 
January 24, 1997 were as follows:

On March 27, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 
all of the outstanding common stock of Shipman Bancorp, Inc. ("Shipman") and 
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens State Bank in Shipman, Illinois, which 
had total consolidated assets of approximately $50 million at December 31, 
1997.  The transaction involves an exchange of two shares of Company common 
stock or cash of $190 per share for each share of Shipman common stock, 
provided that at least 70% of the Shipman common shares are exchanged for 
Company common stock.  Using the value derived from the $190 per share cash 
price for Shipman, the transaction is valued at approximately $6,100,000.  
The merger has received all of the necessary approvals from the various 
regulatory authorities and Shipman shareholders, and is expected to close 
early in the fourth quarter of 1998.  The transaction will be accounted for 
as a purchase.

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

INTRODUCTION

  Carlinville National Bank Shares, Inc. (the "Company") provides a full 
range of financial services throughout Macoupin, Montgomery, Christian, and 
Sangamon counties in central Illinois.  The following discussion more fully 
explains the changes in financial condition and results of operations for the 
first six months of 1998 compared to the first six months of 1997, and for 
the second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997.  Such 
information is provided on a consolidated basis for the Company, its two 
wholly-owned banking subsidiaries (Carlinville National Bank and Palmer Bank, 
referred to collectively as the "Banks"), and its wholly-owned nonbanking 
subsidiary, Carlinville Tax Service, Inc.

NET INCOME

  The Company had net income of $1,094,878 for the six months ended June 30, 
1998, compared with $987,614 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, 
representing an increase of $107,264 (10.86%).  Net income per common share 
for the first six months of 1998 was $5.87 per share, an increase of $0.57 
(10.75%) over the $5.30 per share amount for the first six months of 1997.

  The Company had net income of $515,337 for the three months ended June 30, 
1998, which represented a decrease of $43,473 (7.78%) from the $558,810 
earned for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  Net income per common share 
was $2.76 per share for the second quarter of 1998, compared with $3.00 per 
share for the second quarter of 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME

  The Company's net interest income increased by $103,234 (3.30%) to 
$3,233,372 for the first six months of 1998 from the $3,130,138 recorded for 
the first six months of 1997.  The net interest margin for the two periods 
was comparable, with a net interest margin of 3.64% recorded for the first 
six months of 1998, and 3.70% recorded for the first six months of 1997.  The 
Company's net interest income for the second quarter of 1998 decreased 
$34,254 (2.07%) to $1,618,190 from the $1,652,444 earned for the second 
quarter of 1997.  The net interest margins for the second quarters of 1998 
and 1997 were 3.57% and 3.83%, respectively.

  The reduction in the Company's net interest margin was due primarily to the 
Company's acquisition activities in December 1996 and January 1997.  On 
December 13, 1996, the Company's banking subsidiary, Carlinville National 
Bank (the "Carlinville Bank"), purchased certain of the assets and assumed 
the liabilities of a branch facility (the "Hillsboro Branch") in Hillsboro, 
Illinois from an unaffiliated regional banking group.  Approximately five 
weeks later, on January 24, 1997, the Company purchased all of the 
outstanding capital stock of Lincoln Trail Bancshares, Inc. ("Lincoln Trail") 
and its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Palmer Bank in Taylorville, 
Illinois.  As more fully discussed below, these acquisitions significantly 
changed the composition of the Company's balance sheet and mix of 
interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, providing 
significantly more deposits than loans, with a significant percentage of the 
acquired deposits included in higher-rate certificates of deposits.  
Additionally, with the wave of large bank mergers occurring in the Company's 
market area for the past several years, the Company has had the opportunity 
to expand its deposit base, as many banking customers

have found the level of personal service at the larger non-locally-owned 
consolidated banks diminished, and have sought banking relationships with 
community banks such as Carlinville Bank and Palmer Bank.  This deposit base 
expansion has not come without a cost, however, as the competition among 
community banks, as well as the larger consolidated banks seeking to retain 
their customers, has resulted in a higher level of interest rates on 
deposits, despite the relatively low interest rate environment in which the 
Company and all financial institutions have been operating for several years. 
The Company's primary goal in achieving a higher net interest margin is to 
deploy these new deposits into quality loans, which is the Company's highest 
earning asset.  The Company's average loan-to-deposit ratio for the first six 
months of 1998 was 67.05%, compared with 62.50% for the first six months of 
1997.

  As reflected in the tables below, average earning assets for the first six 
months of 1998 increased by $8,725,051 (4.85%) to $188,630,239, from the 
$179,905,188 of average earning assets for the first six months of 1997.  The 
percentage of average earning assets comprised of loans, increased to 61.29% 
for the first six months of 1998, from 56.16% for the first six months of 
1997.

  Average earning assets for the second quarter of 1998 increased $9,483,749 
(5.21%) to $191,536,691 from the $182,052,942 of average earning assets for 
the second quarter of 1997.  The percentage of average earning assets 
comprised of loans, increased to 61.51% for the second quarter of 1998, from 
57.80% for the second quarter of 1997.

  The increase in loans in 1998 resulted from the Company's ability to make 
larger commercial loans to individuals and small businesses in its market 
area, with the increased lending limit available to a larger banking 
organization resulting from the Company's recent acquisitions.  Additionally, 
loan growth occurred from new banking relationships with customers moving 
their business out of the larger non-locally-owned consolidated banking 
institutions in the Company's market area.  Also, when the Company purchased 
Lincoln Trail in January 1997, Palmer Bank had significant problems in its 
loan portfolio.  As the Company has worked out of such problems, Company 
management has been able to concentrate more of its efforts on increasing the 
loan portfolio in its new markets.

  With the acquisition of the Hillsboro Branch in December 1996, the Company 
assumed approximately $24.4 million of deposits and acquired approximately 
$318,000 of loans.  The net cash received of approximately $22 million was 
invested at that time in taxable debt securities, many of which were callable 
in late 1997 or early 1998.  With the favorable interest rate environment 
which has existed for the past several years, coupled with the current strong 
bond market, many of these securities have been called or have matured.  
Average taxable investment securities for the first six months of 1998 
declined $6,189,246 (11.43%) to $47,956,362 from the average taxable 
investment securities for the first six months of 1997 of $54,145,608.  While 
the average yield on such securities remained consistent at 6.07% for the two 
periods, this decline in volume resulted in a decrease of the interest income 
thereon of $186,229 for the first six months of 1998, from the interest 
income earned thereon for the first six months of 1997.

  Average taxable investment securities for the second quarter of 1998 
declined $5,983,764 (11.22%) to $47,364,928 from the average taxable 
investment securities for the second quarter of 1997 of $53,348,692.  The 
average yield on such investments also declined in the second quarter of 
1998, as compared with the second quarter of 1997, dropping 33 basis points 
to 6.02%, reflecting the interest rate environment prevalent in the current 
bond market.  The combination of decreased volume and rate on taxable 
investment securities for the comparable second quarter periods resulted in a 
decrease in interest income of $134,689.

  The Company's level of Federal funds sold is directly attributable to the 
level of securities sold under repurchase agreements maintained with certain 
customers of the Carlinville Bank.  These customers invest on a short-term 
basis, generally overnight, in securities sold under repurchase agreements by 
the Carlinville Bank, thus providing a return on their excess funds.  These 
funds are invested by the Carlinville Bank in Federal funds sold to match the 
maturities of the repurchase agreements, with the Carlinville Bank generally 
earning approximately 50 basis points on each transaction.  As the excess 
funds of these customers fluctuate, so too has the Company's overall level of 
Federal funds sold.  The acquisitions of Lincoln Trail and the Hillsboro 
Branch facility have also provided additional liquidity, as has the increased 
deposit levels and the lack of more attractive investment options in the 
current bond market.

  Following is a summary of the average balances and weighted average 
interest rates earned or paid on Federal funds sold and securities sold under 
repurchase agreements for the first six months of 1998 and 1997:

  Company management believes this cash management service will continue at a 
consistent level, and the levels of additional Federal funds (over and above 
the level of securities sold under repurchase agreements) will eventually be 
invested in higher yielding loans and investment securities.

  The Company experienced an increase in its cost of funds for the first six 
months of 1998, as compared with the first six months of 1997.  The average 
cost of funds was 4.88% for the first six months of 1998, and 4.62% for the 
first six months of 1997.  This increase is even more pronounced when 
comparing the second quarter of 1998 (with an average cost of funds of 4.91%) 
with the second quarter of 1997 (with an average cost of funds of 4.70%).  
Average interest-bearing deposits for the first six months of 1998 increased 
$9,602,768 (6.57%) to $155,810,824 from the level of $146,208,056 for the 
first six months of 1997.  Average interest-bearing deposits for the second 
quarter of 1998 increased $8,738,530 (5.85%) to $158,176,172 from the level 
of $149,437,642 for the second quarter of 1997.  The increases in 
interest-bearing deposits from 1997 to 1998 has resulted from depositors 
moving from financial institutions which have been sold or are in process of 
being sold to larger, non-locally based financial institutions, as customers 
are seeking more personal service than that offered by the larger

                                      10

banking institutions.

  The Company's increase in its cost of funds is equally attributable to the 
composition of its deposit mix, as the Company's banking subsidiaries have 
experienced a general shift in deposits similar to most Midwestern financial 
institutions, with certificates of deposits comprising a growing proportion 
of its deposits.  Following is an analysis of the change in average deposit 
composition for the first six months of 1998 and 1997, and the second 
quarters of 1998 and 1997:

  In addition to the interest paid on securities sold under repurchase 
agreements, the Company also incurred interest on other short-term borrowings 
of $15,194 and $47,620, for the first six months of 1998 and 1997, 
respectively, and $7,270 and $17,613, for the second quarters of 1998 and 
1997, respectively.  These generally consist of borrowings under the Federal 
Reserve Bank's treasury, tax and loan note option.  Additionally, during the 
first six months of 1997, the Company borrowed $1,750,000 from an 
unaffiliated financial institution for approximately three months to 
temporarily assist in funding the Lincoln Trail acquisition.  This short-term 
borrowing was repaid from additional dividends paid by the Carlinville Bank 
to the Company in April, 1997.

(1)  Interest includes loan fees.

(2)  Average balances include nonaccrual loans.  The income on such loans is 
     included in interest, but is recognized only upon receipt.

(3)  Interest yields are presented on a tax-equivalent basis.  Nontaxable 
     income has been adjusted upward by the amount of Federal income tax that 
     would have been paid if the income would have been taxable at a rate of 
     34%, adjusted downward by the disallowance of the interest cost to carry 
     nontaxable loans and securities.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

  A significant determinant of the Company's operating results is the level 
of loan losses and the provision for possible loan losses charged to 
operations. During the first six months of 1998, the Company recorded a 
provision for possible loan losses of $210,000, with $180,000 of this amount 
recorded in the second quarter of 1998.  The Company did not record a 
provision during the first six months of 1997.  Following is a summary of the 
activity in the Company's reserve for possible loan losses for the first six 
months of 1998 and 1997, and the second quarters of 1998 and 1997:

</TABLE>

  In determining an adequate balance in the reserve for possible loan losses, 
management places its emphasis as follows:  evaluation of the loan portfolio 
with regard to potential future exposure on loans to specific customers and 
industries, including a formal internal loan review function; re-evaluation 
of each nonperforming loan or loan classified by supervisory authorities; and 
an overall review of the remaining portfolio in light of past loan loss 
experience.  Any problems or loss exposure estimated in these categories was 
provided for in the total current period reserve.

  The reserve for possible loan losses at June 30, 1998 was 0.77% of net 
outstanding loans.  Nonperforming loans totaled approximately $1,050,000 at 
June 30, 1998, resulting in a reserve coverage of nonperforming loans of 
87.18%.  Total nonperforming loans at December 31, 1997 totaled $1,107,121, 
with a reserve coverage on that date of 99.2%.  Company management believes 
the reserve for possible loan losses allocated for such loans is adequate 
when the underlying collateral values on such credits is considered.

  When the Company acquired Palmer Bank on January 24, 1997 in connection 
with the acquisition of Lincoln Trail, the bank was undercapitalized, due 
primarily to a significant level of problem loans in the Palmer Bank 
portfolio made prior to the Company's acquisition thereof.  Prior to the 
acquisition, Palmer Bank increased its reserve for possible loan losses to 
$1,183,535 or 5.18% of the net outstanding loans in the portfolio on the 
acquisition date.  In the ensuing months, as Company and Palmer Bank 
management began to work through these problem loans, $968,372 of charge-offs 
were recorded at Palmer Bank, with $115,275 of recoveries received, for the 
year ended December 31, 1997.  The level of nonaccrual loans at Palmer Bank 
at December 31, 1997 was $545,949, compared with $1,494,585 on the 
acquisition date.  Nonaccrual loans at Palmer Bank at June 30, 1998 were 
$283,000.  While Company management believes this clean-up effort was 
substantially completed by December 31, 1997, certain additional loans, all 
of which had been identified and reserved for at December 31, 1997, were 
charged off during the first six months of 1998.  During the second quarter 
of 1998, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $320,811, and replenished 
the reserve for possible loan losses with a provision charged to

                                      18

<PAGE>

expense of $180,000.  Company management believes the reserve for possible 
loan losses of $915,370 at June 30, 1998 is adequate to absorb the potential 
exposure presently inherent in the loan portfolio.

  The Company had no loans to any foreign countries at June 30, 1998, nor did 
it have any concentration of loans to any industry, other than the 
agricultural industry on June 30, 1998.  The Company has also refrained from 
financing speculative transactions such as highly leveraged corporate 
buyouts. Additionally, the Company had no other interest-earning assets which 
were considered to be risk element assets at June 30, 1998.

  At June 30, 1998, the Company had loans outstanding to the agricultural 
sector of approximately $38,122,000, which comprised 32.22% of the Company's 
total loan portfolio.  Additionally, the Company's direct financing leases 
involve agricultural equipment which is being leased to local farmers.  The 
Company's agricultural credits are concentrated in Macoupin, Montgomery, 
Christian, and Sangamon counties in central Illinois, and are generally 
fully-secured with either growing crops, farmland, livestock, and/or 
machinery and equipment.  Additionally, the Company's lending personnel work 
with their agricultural borrowers to monitor cash flow capabilities.

NONINTEREST INCOME

  Total noninterest income for the first six months of 1998 increased 
$436,154 (91.97%) to $910,377 from the $474,223 recorded for the first six 
months of 1997.  Total noninterest income for the second quarter of 1998 
increased $236,881 (92.63%) to $492,616 from the $255,735 recorded for the 
second quarter of 1997.  Several factors caused these period-to-period 
increases, including the following:

  -  The results for the first six months of 1997 included the operations of 
     Palmer Bank from January 24, 1997 fo rward.  Accordingly, the first six 
     months of 1998 include a full period of Palmer Bank operations, while the 
     first six months of 1997 exclude the Palmer Bank operations for most of the
     first month.

  -  During 1997, the Carlinville Bank introduced a fee-based commercial 
     checking product which has proven quite successful.  This program was 
     in place for the entire 1998 period, while only being in place for a 
     small portion of the second quarter of 1997.

  -  In 1997, the Company established a mortgage banking department, which 
     originates loans for sale in the secon dary market.  This program was in 
     place for the entire 1998 period, while only in a start-up mode during 
     the first six months of 1997.

  -  Other noninterest income for the first six months of 1998 and second 
     quarter of 1998 included $26,600 and $1 3,338, respectively, for the 
     increase in cash surrender value on life insurance policies purchased in 
     connection with the Directors' Incentive Deferral Plan adopted in 
     December 1997.  This plan was adopted for certain of the Carlinville 
     Bank's directors, allowing such directors to defer their current 
     compensation earned as directors, with the Carlinville Bank agreeing to 
     pay to such directors, or their designated

                                     19

<PAGE>

     beneficiaries or survivors, the total amount of deferred compensation 
     plus accumulated interest at or following retirement.  Under the plan, 
     interest is added to the accumulated deferred compensation at a periodic 
     compound rate equal to the Carlinville Bank's return on equity before 
     such interest charges.  To fund the individual agreements with each 
     director covered under the plan, the Carlinville Bank purchased flexible 
     premium universal life insurance policies on the lives of such directors 
     (payable upon death to the Carlinville Bank), and paid a single one-time 
     premium at the inception of the policies totaling $910,000.  No other 
     payments or premiums are required of the Carlinville Bank.  Each life 
     insurance policy has a cash surrender value feature which allows the 
     Carlinville Bank to receive an amount in cash upon cancellation or lapse 
     of the policy.  The cash surrender value of the policies, which is 
     included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, increases 
     monthly, based upon an interest factor, net of mortality, administration 
     and early termination costs that are inherent in the contracts.

  -  The Company had net security gains of $308,854 and $173,426 for the 
     first six months of 1998 and second quarter of 1998, respectively, 
     compared with only $19,663 of security sale gains for the first six 
     months of 1997, all of which occurred in the three months ended March 
     31, 1997.  $4,812 of the gains recorded in the first six months of 1998, 
     $1,000 of which occurred in the second quarter of 1998, resulted from 
     early calls on securities held by the Company's banking subsidiaries.  
     Approximately $9,000 of the net gains for the first six months of 1997 
     were recorded at the Palmer Bank shortly after the Company's acquisition 
     thereof, on sales made to restructure the portfolio in line with the 
     Company's investment strategies.  The Company recorded gains of $134,428 
     and $169,614, in the first and second quarters of 1998, respectively, on 
     two separate sales of a mutual fund investment made thereby.  In late 
     1995 and throughout 1996, the  Company invested a total of $1,000,000 in 
     a mutual fund comprised of regional bank stocks.  With the banking 
     consolidation and strong market performance by regional banks occurring 
     during the past few years, this fund appreciated significantly. By 
     year-end 1996, the fund had appreciated to $1,215,719.  By June 1997, 
     the fund had appreciated further to $1,446,915, and shortly thereafter, 
     the Company sold a portion of the fund to invest $450,000 in a similar 
     fund, recording a gain of $170,483 in the process.  During the first 
     quarter of 1998, the Company sold $330,000 of the fund investment and 
     injected the proceeds into Palmer Bank to increase its capital, 
     recording a $134,428 gain on the sale.  In the second quarter of 1998, 
     the Company sold an additional $375,000 of the funds, again injecting 
     the proceeds into Palmer Bank to increase its capital, recording a gain 
     of $169,614. The regional bank stock mutual fund investments are 
     included in the Company's available-for-sale securities and, at June 30, 
     1998, had a fair value and amortized cost of $1,244,147 and $830,635, 
     respectively.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

  Noninterest expense for the first six months of 1998 increased $164,534 
(7.2%) to $2,440,017 from the $2,275,483 recorded for the first six months of 
1997.  Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1998 increased $99,436 
(8.70%) to $1,242,697 from the $1,143,261 recorded for the second quarter of 
1997.  Several factors caused these period-to-period increases, including the 
following:

                                     20

<PAGE>

  -  The results of the first six months of 1997 included the Palmer Bank 
     from January 24, 1997 forward.  Accordi ngly, the first six months of 
     1998 included operating expenses of Palmer Bank for the entire period, 
     while the first six months of 1997 excluded the Palmer Bank operations 
     for the first 24 days of the period.

  -  During the second quarter of 1997, the Company established its mortgage 
     banking operations and the related e xpenses thereof are included for 
     only a short period of time in 1997, but for the entire period in 1998.

  -  During the second half of 1997, the Company upgraded its management 
     personnel at Palmer Bank, resulting in i ncreased operating expense.

INCOME TAXES

  Applicable income taxes for the first six months of 1998 increased $57,590 
(16.88%) to $398,854 from the $341,264 recorded for the first six months of 
1997.  Applicable income taxes for the second quarter of 1998 decreased 
$33,336 to $172,772 from the $206,108 recorded for the second quarter of 
1997.  The effective tax rates for the first six months of 1998 and 1997 were 
26.70% and 25.68%, respectively, and 25.11% and 26.95% for the second 
quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The changes in the levels of 
effective tax related primarily to the level of state tax-exempt U.S. agency 
securities on hand for the particular periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

  The Company's total assets increased $4,548,778 (2.31%) to $201,729,668 at 
June 30, 1998, from $197,180,890 at December 31, 1997.  This increase was due 
primarily to an influx of deposits.

  Total deposits increased $6,774,372 (4.04%) to $174,389,244 at June 30, 
1998 from $167,614,872 at December 31, 1997.  This growth in deposits 
resulted primarily from the influx of deposits of customers from larger 
regional banks affected by the consolidation in the banking industry, as such 
customers looked for a bank with more personal service.

  Short-term borrowings decreased $3,178,984 (40.07%) to $4,753,897 at June 
30, 1998 from $7,932,881 at December 31, 1997.  These balances tend to have 
significant fluctuations depending upon the cash levels of the customers 
which use the cash management facilities of the Carlinville Bank through the 
purchase of securities under repurchase agreements.  The Company believes 
these companies are experiencing strong operations again in 1998, resulting 
in excess cash.  The level of Federal funds sold generally tracks with the 
level of securities sold under repurchase agreements; however, Federal funds 
sold actually increased $2,590,000 (30.73%) at June 30, 1998 to $11,019,000 
from $8,429,000 at December 31, 1997, as the funds available from the 
reduction in the investment portfolio at June 30, 1998 more than offset the 
reduction in short-term borrowings.

  Investment securities decreased $3,065,258 (4.86%) to $59,952,479 at June 
30, 1998 from $63,017,737 at December 31, 1997.  Proceeds from maturities and 
calls of and principal payments on debt securities were $16,209,907 for the 
first six months of 1998, of which $13,831,001 were reinvested in debt 
securities.  The low interest rate environment has provided the Company less 
attractive investment opportunities and, as such, more funds have been 
temporarily shifted to Federal funds sold, to be subsequently invested in 
anticipated loan growth. The total fair value of the Company's investment 
portfolio at June 30, 1998 was approximately $60,617,000, or 101% of the 
portfolio's book value on that date. The market valuation of the Company's 
investment securities portfolio at December 31, 1997 was 101% of the 
portfolio's book value.

  Total loans increased $6,378,250 (5.70%) to $118,303,459 at June 30, 1998 
from $111,925,209 at December 31, 1997. This increase resulted from the 
Company's increased lending capacity afforded a larger banking organization, 
as well as loan growth coming from new customers shifting their banking 
relationships away from the larger non-local banks in the Company's market 
area.

  The Company's capitalization remained at a strong level at June 30, 1998. 
Total capital was $21,092,075 or 10.46% of total assets at June 30, 1998, as 
compared with 10.36% at December 31, 1997.

  The Federal Reserve Board has established risk-based capital guidelines for 
bank holding companies, which require bank holding companies to maintain 
minimum levels of "Tier 1 Capital" and "Total Capital."  Tier 1 Capital 
consists of common and qualifying preferred stockholders' equity and minority 
interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and 
50% of investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.  Total Capital consists 
of, in addition to Tier 1 Capital, mandatory convertible debt, preferred 
stock not qualifying as Tier 1 Capital, subordinated and other qualifying 
term debt and a portion of the reserve for possible loan losses, less the 
remaining 50% of qualifying total capital.  Risk-based capital ratios are 
calculated with reference to risk-weighted assets, which include both on-and 
off-balance sheet exposures.  The minimum required ratio for qualifying Total 
Capital is 8%, of which at least 4% must consist of Tier 1 Capital.

  In addition, Federal Reserve Board guidelines require bank holding 
companies to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average total 
assets (net of goodwill) of 3.0%.  The Federal Reserve Board guidelines state 
that all of these capital ratios constitute the minimum requirements for the 
most highly-rated banking organizations, and other banking organizations are 
expected to maintain capital at higher levels.

  As of June 30, 1998, the Company and each of its banking subsidiaries were 
in compliance with the Tier 1 Capital ratio requirement and all other 
applicable regulatory capital requirements, as calculated in accordance with 
risk-based capital guidelines.  The Company's Tier 1, Total Capital and 
Leverage Ratios were 13.37%, 14.08% and 8.27%, respectively, at June 30, 1998.

  Federal law provides the Federal banking regulators with broad power to 
take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized 
institutions.  The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the 
institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," 
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or ""critically 
undercapitalized," which are defined by the regulators as follows:

<TABLE>

  Undercapitalized                    less than 8  less than 4  less than 4
  Significantly undercapitalized      less than 6  less than 3  less than 3
  Critically undercapitalized              *           *          *
</TABLE>

  * A critically undercapitalized institution is defined as having a tangible
    equity to total assets ratio of 2% or less

  Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, 
the regulators' corrective powers include:  requiring the submission of a 
capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on 
activities; requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock 
(including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; restricting 
transactions with affiliates; restricting the interest rate the institution 
may pay on deposits; ordering a new election of directors of the institution; 
requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; 
prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; 
requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the 
payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and ultimately, 
appointing a receiver of the institution.  The capital category of an 
institution also determined in part the amount of the premiums assessed 
against the institution for FDIC insurance.  At June 30, 1998, each of the 
Company's banking subsidiaries were considered "well capitalized."

LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY

   Management of rate-sensitive earning assets and interest-bearing 
liabilities remains a key to the Company's profitability.  Management's 
objective is to produce the optimal yield and maturity mix consistent with 
interest rate expectations and projected liquidity needs.

   Liquidity is a measurement of the Company's ability to meet the borrowing 
needs and the deposit withdrawal requirements of its customers.  The 
composition of assets and liabilities is actively managed to maintain the 
appropriate level of liquidity in the balance sheet.  Management is guided by 
regularly-reviewed policies when determining the appropriate portion of total 
assets which should be comprised of readily-marketable assets available to 
meet conditions that are reasonably expected to occur.

                                     23

<PAGE>

   Liquidity is primarily provided to the Company through earning assets, 
including Federal funds sold and maturities and principal payments in the 
investment portfolio, all funded through continued deposit growth.  Secondary 
sources of liquidity available to the Company include the sale of securities 
included in the available-for-sale category (with a carrying value of 
$44,546,949 at June 30, 1998), and borrowing capabilities through the Federal 
Reserve Bank's seasonal borrowing privilege of $4.1 million maintained at the 
Carlinville Bank.  Additionally, maturing loans also provide liquidity on an 
ongoing basis.  Accordingly, the Company believes it has the liquidity 
necessary to meet unexpected deposit withdrawal requirements or increases in 
loan demand.
   
   Each of the Company's banking subsidiaries controls its own 
asset/liability mix within the constraints of its individual policies and 
loan and deposit structure, with overall guidance from the Company.
   
   The asset/liability management process, which involves structuring the 
consolidated balance sheet to allow approximately equal amounts of assets and 
liabilities to reprice at the same time, is a dynamic process essential to 
minimize the effect of fluctuating interest rates on net interest income.  
The following table reflects the Company's consolidated interest rate gap 
(rate-sensitive assets minus rate-sensitive liabilities) analysis as of June 
30, 1998, individually and cumulatively, through various time horizons (in 
thousands of dollars):

  As indicated in this table, the Company operates on a short-term basis 
similar to most other financial institutions, as its liabilities, with 
savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts included, could reprice 
more quickly than its assets.  However, the process of asset/liability 
management in a financial institution is dynamic.  Company management 
believes its current asset/liability management program will allow adequate 
reaction time for trends in the marketplace as they occur, allowing 
maintenance of adequate net interest margins.  Additionally, the Company's 
historical analysis of customer savings and interest-bearing transaction 
accounts indicates that such deposits have certain "core deposit" 
characteristics and are not as susceptible to changes in the marketplace.

TECHNOLOGY RISK

  The Company utilizes and is dependent upon data processing hardware systems 
and banking application software to conduct its business.  The data 
processing hardware systems and banking application software include those 
developed and maintained by the Company's data processing hardware providers 
and purchased banking application software which is run on in-house computer 
networks.  In 1997, the Company initiated a review and assessment of all 
hardware and banking application software to confirm that it will function 
properly in the Year 2000.  The Company's data processing hardware providers, 
banking application software providers, and other vendors which have been 
contacted have indicated that their hardware and/or software will be Year 
2000 compliant by the end of 1998, allowing the Company adequate time for 
compliance testing in 1999. Additionally, alarms, heating and cooling systems 
and other computer-controlled mechanical devices on which the Company relies 
are being evaluated. Those found not to be in compliance will be modified or 
replaced with compliant products.  While there will be some incremental 
expenses incurred during the next 1-1/2 years, the Company has not identified 
any situations at this time that will require material expenditures to become 
fully compliant with Year 2000. During the next 1-1/2 years, the Company's 
credit risk assessment will also include a consideration of incremental risk 
that may be posed by customers' inability, if any, to address Year 2000 issues.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  Several accounting rule changes which will or have gone into effect recently,
as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, will have an effect
on the Company's financial reporting process.  These accounting rule changes,
issued in the form of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") include the
following:
     
  -  FAS 125 - The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial 
     Accounting Standards No. 125, "Transfer and Servicing of Financial 
     Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("FAS 125"), on January 1, 
     1997.  FAS 125 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers 
     and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities 
     based on consistent application of a financial components approach that 
     focuses on control.  FAS 125 distinguishes transfers of financial assets 
     that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.  Adoption of 
     FAS 125 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial 
     position, results of operations, or liquidity.

                                      25
<PAGE>

  -  FAS 128 - In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
     issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings 
     per Share" ("FAS 128") which amends existing accounting requirements and 
     establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share 
     for entities with publicly-held common stock or potential common stock.  
     FAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share, 
     replacing the presentation of primary earnings per share with basic 
     earnings per share, which excludes dilution and is computed by dividing 
     income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number 
     of common share outstanding for the period.  FAS 128 also requires dual 
     presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the 
     income statement for all entities with complex capital structures, and 
     requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic 
     earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of the 
     diluted earnings per share computation.  Diluted earnings per share 
     reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other 
     contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common 
     stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shares in 
     the earnings of the entity.

  -  FAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending 
     after December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior period 
     earnings per share information presented. At June 30, 1998, the Company 
     did not maintain a complex capital structure as defined by FAS 128.  
     Accordingly, the basic earnings per share computed under FAS 128 does 
     not differ from the earnings per share presented herein for the three 
     and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

  -  FAS 130 - In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting 
     Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130").  FAS 130 establishes standards for 
     reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components 
     (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in financial statements.  FAS 130 
     defines comprehensive income as the change in equity (net assets) of a 
     business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events 
     and circumstances from nonowner sources, including all changes in equity 
     during a period, except those resulting from investments by and 
     distributions to owners.

     FAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized as 
     comprehensive income be reported in a fi nancial statement that is 
     displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  FAS 
     130 also requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other 
     comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) 
     display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately 
     from retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the equity 
     section of the consolidated balance sheet.

     FAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, 
     with reclassification of financial statements of earlier periods 
     required for comparative purposes. Accordingly, the Company has 
     implemented FAS 130 for all of the periods presented herein.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

  Persistent high rates of inflation can have a significant effect on the 
reported financial condition and results of operations of all industries. 
However, the asset and liability structure of a bank holding company is 
substantially different from that of an industrial company, in that virtually 
all assets and liabilities of a bank holding company are monetary in nature. 
Accordingly, changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on a 
banking holding company's performance.  Interest rates do not necessarily 
move in the same direction, or in the same magnitude, as the prices of other 
goods and services.
  
  Inflation, however, does have an important impact on the growth of total
assets in the banking industry, often resulting in a need to increase equity
capital at higher than normal rates to maintain an appropriate equity-to-assets
ratio.  One of the most important effects that inflation has had on the banking
industry has been to reduce the proportion of earnings paid out in the form of
dividends.
  
  Although it is obvious that inflation affects the growth of total assets, it
is difficult to measure the impact precisely. Only new assets acquired each
year are directly affected, so a simple adjustment of asset totals by use of an
inflation index is not meaningful.  The results of operations also have been
affected by inflation, but again, there is no simple way to measure the effect
on the various categories of income and expense.
  
  Interest rates in particular are significantly affected by inflation, but
neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes coincide with changes in
the consumer price index.  Additionally, changes in interest rates on some
types of consumer deposits may be delayed.  These factors, in turn, affect the
composition of sources of funds by reducing the growth of deposits that are
less interest-sensitive, and increasing the need for funds that are more
interest-sensitive.
  
RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS/YEAR 2000

  The Federal banking regulators have issued several statements providing 
guidance to financial institutions on the steps the regulators expect 
financial institutions to take to become Year 2000 compliant.  Each of the 
Federal banking regulators is also examining the financial institutions under 
its jurisdiction to assess each institution's compliance with the outstanding 
guidance.  If an institution's progress in addressing the Year 2000 problem 
is deemed by its primary Federal regulator to be less than satisfactory, the 
institution will be required to enter into a memorandum of understanding with 
the regulator which will, among other things, require the institution to 
promptly develop and submit an acceptable plan for becoming Year 2000 
compliant and to provide periodic reports describing the institution's 
progress in implementing the plan.  Failure to satisfactorily address the 
Year 2000 problem may also expose a financial institution to other forms of 
enforcement action that its primary Federal regulator deems appropriate to 
address the deficiencies in the institution's Year 2000 remediation program.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995

  This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning 
of Section 17A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company intends such 
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for 
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 
1995, and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor 
provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain 
assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the 
Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," 
"intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions.  The 
Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or 
strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material 
adverse affect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and the 
subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in:  interest rates, 
general economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and 
fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. 
Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality or composition of the 
loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, 
competition, demand for financial services in the Company's market area and 
accounting principles, policies and guidelines.  These risks and 
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements 
and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
  
  Further information concerning the Company and its business, including 
additional factors that could materially affect the Company's financial 
results, is included in the Company's filings with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.
