(1) The number of shares being registered assumes that:  (i) each holder of
Security Bancorp, Inc. common stock elects to receive shares of the
Registrant's common stock in the merger described herein, and (ii) the
consummation of a five-for-one stock split (in the form of a 400% stock
dividend) with respect to the Registrant's outstanding shares of common stock
that will be effected following shareholder approval of an increase in the
number of authorized shares of the Registrant's common stock at its April 15,
1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and prior to the consummation of the
merger.  The Registrant will deregister any shares that are not issued in the
merger, whether as a result of elections by Security shareholders to receive
cash in lieu of stock in the merger or the failure of the Registrant's
shareholders to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares
described above.

(2) In accordance with Rule 457(f)(2), the registration fee is based upon the
book value ($10.25) at December 31, 1994 of the shares of Security common stock
to be received by the Registrant in connection with the merger.

   
(3) Previously paid.
