                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Merchants & Planters Bancshares, Inc.
Montevallo, Alabama

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Merchants &
Planters Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Merchants & Planters
Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1997, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               December 31, 1997

Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is a one-bank holding company, which operates in Montevallo,
Alabama. The Company's primary source of revenue is providing loans to
individuals and business in the Shelby County area of Alabama.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiary, Merchants & Planters Bank. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities are comprised of securities classified as available for
sale and held to maturity, in conjunction with the adoption of FASB 115,
resulting in investment securities available for sale being carried at market
value and investment securities held to maturity being carried at cost, adjusted
for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

Gains or losses on disposition are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted
carrying amount of the securities sold, using the specific identification
method.

LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by allowance for
loan losses. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when
management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The
allowance is an amount that management believes

                                AND SUBSIDIARY

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               December 31, 1997



will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior
loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that
may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. Accrual of interest is discontinued on
a loan when management believes, after considering economic and business
conditions and collection efforts, that the borrowers' financial condition is
such that collection of interest is doubtful. Fees and related costs on loans
are amortized over the term of the loan as required by generally accepted
accounting principles.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed
principally on the straight-line and the declining balance method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 30 years for building, 3 to 20
years for furniture and equipment. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Depreciation expense for 1997 was $71,948.

INCOME TAXES

The tax effect of transactions is recorded at current tax rates in the periods
the transactions are reported for financial statement purposes. Deferred income
taxes are established for the temporary differences between the financial
reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at
enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or
settled. The Company files its federal income tax returns on a consolidated
basis and its state income tax returns on a separate basis.

NOTE 2 - PENDING MERGER

Merchants and Planters Bancshares, Inc. and The Peoples BancTrust Company, Inc.
entered into an agreement to merge the two companies. The agreement provides
that, upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of Merchants &
Planters Bancshares, Inc. common stock shall be automatically cancelled and
cease to be an issued and outstanding share of Bancshares common stock, and
converted into and represent only the right to receive from The Peoples
BancTrust Company, Inc. $949.38 per share. The merger will be accounted for as a
purchase. The merger is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval and is
anticipated to be consummated in March 1998.

For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the following
assumptions were used as of December 31, 1997. The estimated fair value for cash
and due from banks and federal funds sold is considered to approximate cost. The
estimated fair value for investment securities are based on quoted market values
for the individual securities or for equivalent securities. In the case of fixed
and annually adjustable rate loans, the prevailing market rates in effect as of
December 31, 1997, for similar loans with similar maturities, were used as
discount rates in calculating the present values of these loans. For financial
assets and liabilities whose interest rates are contractually precluded from
floating directly with market rates, market values are calculated in all cases
as the present value of anticipated future cash flows, discounted using an
appropriate rate. Market values for time deposits likewise represent the sum of
discounted future cash flows where the discount rates are market value
certificate of deposit rates for the various maturities then prevailing at
December 31, 1997.

While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of the
most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that were the Company to have
disposed of such items at December 31, 1997, the estimated fair values would
necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ
depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at December 31,
1997, should not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates.

In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Company that are not defined as
financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures. Also,
non-financial instruments are typically not recognized in the financial
statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above
disclosures. These include the estimated earning power of core deposit accounts,
the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items.

NOTE 12 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's
assets and liabilities as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Company's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgements by the regulators about components, risk, weightings, and other
factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1997, that the
Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
