REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP



To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of National City Bancshares, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of financial 
position and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' 
equity and cash flows present fairly in all material respects the financial 
position of National City Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) 
at December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of their operations and their 
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  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 audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance 
with generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial 
statements presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for the opinion expressed above.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To the Board of Directors
National City Bancshares, Inc.
Evansville, Indiana


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, 
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for National City Bancshares, Inc. and 
subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1995.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based 
on our audit.  We did not audit the financial statements of Illinois One 
Bancorp, Inc., consolidated subsidiary, as of and for the year then ended 
December 31, 1995, which statements reflect total revenue constituting 6% of 
the related consolidated total.  Those statements were audited by other 
auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion for 1995, 
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Illinois One Bancorp, Inc., 
is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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 and the reports 
of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the 
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all 
material respects, the results of their operations and their cash flows of 
National City Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended December 
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

National City Bancshares, Inc. (Corporation) is a bank holding company whose 
subsidiaries provide a full range of banking services to individual and 
corporate customers through its wholly-owned bank subsidiaries located in 
Southwestern Indiana, Southeastern Illinois, and Kentucky.  The subsidiary 
banks are subject to competition from other financial institutions and 
nonfinancial institutions providing financial products.  Additionally, the 
Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain 
regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory 
agencies.

The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared 
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and conform to 
predominate practice within the banking industry.

Following is a description of the more significant of these policies.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 
the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries:  The National City Bank of 
Evansville, The Peoples National Bank of Grayville, First Kentucky Bank, 
Lincolnland Bank, The Bank of Mitchell, Pike County Bank, White County Bank, 
Alliance Bank, The First National Bank of Wayne City, First Federal Savings 
Bank of Leitchfield, First National Bank of Bridgeport, First Bank of 
Huntingburg, NCBE Leasing Corp., Twenty-One Southeast Third Corporation, and 
Illinois One Bank.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances 
have been eliminated.

As further described below, the Corporation acquired Illinois One Bancorp, 
Inc. (Illinois One) on May 29, 1998, in a transaction accounted for as a 
pooling of interests.  The consolidated financial statements present the 
combined operations of the Corporation and Illinois One.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries utilize the accrual basis of accounting 
for major items.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to 
make estimates and assumptions which significantly affect the amounts 
reported in the consolidated financial statements.  Significant estimates 
which are particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time 
include the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of 
real estate and other properties acquired in connection with foreclosures or 
in satisfaction of amounts due from borrowers on loans.  Actual results could 
differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the Illinois 
One transaction and, as a result, the consolidated statements of financial 
position, income, and cash flows are presented as if the combining companies 
had been consolidated for all periods presented.  As required by generally 
accepted accounting principles, the consolidated statements of changes in 
stockholders' equity reflect the accounts of the Company as if the 
appropriate amount of common stock issued in the Illinois One acquisition was 
outstanding effective January 1, 1995, the earliest date reported upon in the 
consolidated financial statements.

CASH FLOWS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash 
on hand, amounts due from banks, and short-term money market investments.  
Interest-bearing deposits in banks, regardless of maturity, are considered 
short-term investments.

TRUST ASSETS

Property held for customers in fiduciary or agency capacities, other than 
trust cash on deposit at the banks, is not included in the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements since such items are not assets of the 
Corporation or its subsidiaries.

SECURITIES

Securities classified as held to maturity are those securities the 
Corporation has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of 
changes in market conditions, liquidity needs, or changes in general economic 
conditions.  These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization 
of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the interest method over 
their contractual lives.

Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that 
the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not 
necessarily to maturity, and marketable equity securities.  Any decision to 
sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various 
factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the 
maturity mix of assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital 
considerations, and other similar factors.  Securities available for sale are 
carried at fair value.  Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases 
or decreases in shareholders' equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. 
 Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific 
securities sold, are included as a component of net income.

Nonmarketable equity securities are carried at cost as there is no readily 
determinable fair value.

LOANS

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, less unearned interest 
income and an allowance for loan losses. Unearned income on installment loans 
is recognized as income based on the sum-of-the-months digits method which 
approximates the interest method.  Interest income on substantially all other 
loans is credited to income based on the 


<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS OTHER THAN SHARE DATA IN THOUSANDS)

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
principal balances of loans outstanding.

The Corporation's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on 
any loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to 
the timely collectibility of interest or principal.  Upon discontinuance of 
interest accrual, unpaid accrued interest is reversed.  Interest income on 
these loans is recognized to the extent interest payments are received and 
the principal is considered fully collectible.  Nonaccrual loans are returned 
to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position 
of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the 
timely collectibility of interest and principal.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by 
management to provide for known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.  
The allowance is based upon a continuing evaluation of the risk 
characteristics of the loan portfolios, past loan loss experience, and 
current economic conditions.  The continuing review considers such factors as 
the financial condition of the borrower, fair market value of the collateral, 
and other considerations which, in management's opinion, deserve current 
recognition in estimating loan losses. Loans which are deemed to be 
uncollectible are charged to the allowance.  The provision for loan losses 
and recoveries are credited to the allowance.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, 
it is probable the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due.  
The portion of the allowance for loan losses applicable to impaired loans has 
been computed based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows 
of interest and principal discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or 
on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The 
entire change in present value of expected cash flows of impaired loans or of 
collateral value is reported as bad debt expense in the same manner in which 
impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad 
debt expense that otherwise would be reported.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.  
Provisions for depreciation are charged to operating expense over the useful 
lives of the assets, computed principally by the straight-line method.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired consist primarily of 
goodwill and core deposit intangibles.  Goodwill is amortized to expense over 
varying periods up to 25 years using the straight-line method.  Core deposit 
intangibles are amortized over 7 years using the straight-line method.  
Amortization for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, was $974, 
$452, and $334, respectively.  Intangible assets are reviewed for possible 
impairment when events or changed circumstances may affect the underlying 
basis of the assets.

INCOME TAXES

The Corporation and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax 
return with each organization computing its taxes on a separate company 
basis.  The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the 
financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed 
annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of 
assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in 
the future.  The deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on 
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences 
are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established 
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount expected to be 
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period 
plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and 
liabilities.

ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION

The Corporation is recognizing the transition obligation using the 
straight-line method over the plan participants' average future service 
period of twenty years.  Management does not expect this obligation to 
increase.

REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive 
Income" (FAS 130), was issued in June 1997 by the Financial Accounting 
Standards Board.  The standard establishes reporting of comprehensive income 
for general purpose financial statements.  Comprehensive income is defined as 
the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period and all other 
events and circumstances from nonowner sources.  The Standard is effective 
for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  The 
Corporation does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a 
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about 
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FAS 131), was issued in 
June 1997 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  The standard requires 
the Corporation to disclose the factors used to identify reportable segments 
including the basis of organization, differences in products and services, 
geographic areas, and regulatory environments.  FAS 131 additionally requires 
financial results to be reported in the financial statements for each 
reportable segment.  The Standard is effective for financial statement 
periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Corporation does not believe 
the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the consolidated 
financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

On June 15, 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative 
Instruments and Hedging Activities."  FAS 133 established a new model for 
accounting for derivatives and 


<PAGE>

hedging activities and supersedes and amends a number of existing standards.  
FAS 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, but 
earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of any fiscal quarters 
subsequent to June 15, 1998. Upon the statement's initial application, all 
derivatives are required to be recognized in the statement of financial 
position as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. In 
addition, all hedging relationships must be designated, reassessed and 
documented pursuant to the provisions of FAS 133.  Adoption of FAS 133 is not 
expected to have a material financial statement impact on the Corporation.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the balances as of and for the 
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, to be consistent with classifications 
adopted for 1997.

NOTE 2.    BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On March 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired First Federal Savings Bank of 
Leitchfield, a $43,000 savings bank located in Leitchfield, Kentucky.  This 
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and results of operations of 
First Federal Savings Bank of Leitchfield since the acquisition have been 
included in the financial statements.  The excess of the acquisition cost 
over the fair value of net assets acquired in the amount of $2,807 will be 
amortized over 25 years using the straight-line method.

On August 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired Bridgeport Bancorp, Inc., the 
parent company of First National Bank of Bridgeport, with total assets of 
$39,382 located in Bridgeport, Illinois.  This acquisition was accounted for 
as a purchase, and the results of operations since the acquisition have been 
included in the financial statements.  The excess of the acquisition cost 
over fair value of net assets acquired in the amount of $9,377 will be 
amortized over 25 years using the straight-line method.

The table below presents pro forma combined results of operations for the 
Corporation, First Federal Savings Bank of Leitchfield, and First National 
Bank of Bridgeport, for the years ended December 31:

On December 31, 1997, the Corporation issued 794,994 shares of common stock 
for all of the common stock of First Fourth Bancorp, the parent company of 
First Bank of Huntingburg, Huntingburg, Indiana, with total assets of 
$108,077 and total equity of $12,917.  The combination was accounted for as a 
pooling of interests.  Accordingly, the Corporation's financial statements 
have been retroactively restated to include the accounts and operations of 
First Fourth Bancorp for all periods presented.  Certain reclassifications 
have  been made to First Fourth Bancorp's historical financial statements to 
conform to the Corporation's presentation. 

On May 29, 1998, the Corporation issued 572,737 shares of common stock for 
all of the common stock of Illinois One Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of 
Illinois One Bank, National Association, Shawneetown, Illinois.  As of 
December 31, 1997, Illinois One Bank had assets of $88,069 and equity of 
$9,872.  The combination was accounted for as a pooling of interests.  
Accordingly, the Corporations financial statements have been retroactively 
restated to include the accounts and operations of Illinois One Bank for all 
periods presented.  Certain reclassifications have been made to Illinois 
One's historical financial statements to conform to the Corporation's 
presentation.

Assets, loans, deposits, interest income, net interest income, and net income 
of the Corporation (NCBE), First Fourth Bancorp (FFB), and Illinois One 
Bancorp (IOB) for the periods prior to the acquisition are shown in the table

NOTE 3.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, 
"Earnings per Share."  Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and 
fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.  
Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any 
dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.  Diluted 
earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted 
earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been 
presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the Statement 128 
requirements.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the year by 
the weighted average number of shares outstanding.  

Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income for the year 
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock 
equivalents outstanding.  Common stock equivalents assume exercise of stock 
options and use of proceeds to purchase treasury stock at the average market 
price for the period.

The following provides a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per 
share.

permitted by law were $86,283 and $64,335, respectively.

During 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to allow all 
enterprises to make a one-time reassessment of the classification of 
securities made under FAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt 
and Equity Securities".  The Corporation transferred debt securities with an 
amortized cost of $34,987 from held-to-maturity classification to the 
available-for-sale classification and recorded, as a component of equity, an 
unrealized gain of $205, net of $128 of deferred taxes.

On March 31, 1997, the Corporation transferred $180,696 of securities 
classified as held to maturity to the available for sale category and 
recorded, as a component of equity, an unrealized gain of $71, net of $38 of 
deferred taxes.  In accordance with the requirements of Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, these securities are now accounted 
for at fair value, and any unrealized gain or loss net of deferred tax effect 
is reflected as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

The Corporation has granted a blanket collateral agreement on qualified 
mortgage loans to secure advances from Federal Home Loan Banks.  

In the normal course of business, the subsidiary banks make loans to their 
executive officers and directors, and to companies and individuals affiliated 
with officers and directors of the banks and the Corporation.  In the opinion 
of management, these loans were made on substantially the same terms, 
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for 
comparable transactions with unrelated parties.  The activity in these loans 
during 1997 is as follows:

NOTE 7.    LEASE FINANCING

The Corporation's leasing operations include both direct financing and 
leveraged leasing.  The direct financing leasing activity involves the 
leasing of various types of office, data processing, and transportation 
equipment.  These equipment leases have lives of three to seven years.

Under the direct financing method of accounting for leases, the total net 
rentals receivable under the lease contracts, initial direct costs (net of 
fees), and the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the leased equipment, 
net of unearned income, are recorded as a net investment in direct financing 
leases, and the unearned income on each lease is recognized each month at a 
constant periodic rate of return on the unrecovered investment.

The composition of the net investment in direct lease financing at December 
31, 1997 is as follows:

In 1997, the Corporation's leasing subsidiary, entered into two leveraged 
leases with a regional air carrier for aircraft, which have an estimated 
economic life of 23 years, were leased for a term of 16.5 years.  The equity 
investment in the aircraft represented 22% of the purchase price; the 
remaining 88% was furnished by third-party financing in the form of long-term 
debt with no recourse against the lessor and is secured by a first lien on 
the aircraft.  At the end of the lease term, the aircraft will be turned back 
to the lessor.  The residual value at that time is estimated to be 32% of the 
cost.  For federal income tax purposes, the lessor receives the benefit of 
tax deductions for depreciation on the entire leased asset and for the 
interest on the long-term debt.  Since during the early years of the lease 
those deductions exceed the lease rental income, excess deductions are 
available to offset other taxable income. In the later years of the lease, 
rental income will exceed the deductions which will increase taxable income.  
Deferred taxes are provided to reflect this reversal of tax deductions.  The 
net investment in leveraged leases at December 31, 1997, are composed of the 
following elements:

The Federal Home Loan Bank advances are collateralized by a blanket 
collateral agreement on qualified mortgage loans.

The terms of the loan agreement with Northern Trust Company require the 
Corporation to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain 
restrictions.  These include, maintenance of minimum consolidated capital 
levels, limits on debt and guarantees of debt by the Corporation, 
restrictions on the ratio of consolidated non-performing assets to total 
loans and of the consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses to total
non-performing loans, and certain other restrictions.  Management believes
the Corporation has complied with all of the covenants of this loan agreement.

Aggregate maturities required on other borrowings at December 31, 1997 are 
due in future years as follows:

Note 14.    Capital Ratios

The Corporation and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory 
capital requirements administered by federal and state 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 materially adverse effect on the Corporation's 
financial condition.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory 
framework for prompt corrective action, a bank must meet specific capital 
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of 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 subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and 
ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined 
in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I 
capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as 
of December 31, 1997, that the Corporation and its subsidiary banks met all 
capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

As of December 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the federal and 
state regulatory agencies categorized each of the subsidiary banks as well 
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  The 
banks must maintain the minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier 
I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or 
events since that notification that management believes have changed the 
categorization of any of the subsidiary banks.

The following table presents the actual capital amounts and ratios for the 
Corporation and its bank subsidiaries which have assets in excess of ten 
percent of consolidated assets:

Note 15.    Incentive Stock Option Plan

In 1995, the Corporation's board of directors approved a fixed Incentive 
Stock Option Plan (Plan) which was approved by shareholders in 1996.  The 
Plan currently reserves 554,523 shares of common stock for issuance upon the 
exercise of options granted as incentive awards to key employees of the 
Corporation.  Awards may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock 
options.  All options granted under the Plan are required to be exercised 
within ten years of the date granted.  The exercise price of options granted 
under the Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock 
on the date of grant.  

Grants under the Plan are accounted for following APB Opinion No. 25 and 
related Interpretations.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been 
recognized for grants under the Plan.  Compensation expense of $234, $54, and 
$0 was recognized for tax purposes in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.  
Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined based on the grant date 
fair values of awards (the method described in FASB Statement No. 123), 
reported net income and earnings per common share would have been reduced to 
the pro forma amounts shown below.

Generally accepted accounting principles provide for the use of the 
Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options 
which have no vesting restrictions.  This model requires the use of 
subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility.  As a 
result, management believes the Black-Scholes valuation model may not 
necessarily provide the best single measure of option value.

The fair value of the stock options granted under the Plan has been estimated 
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted 
average assumptions.

The above fair value information was derived using the information described 
below for the groups of instruments listed. It should be noted the fair 
values disclosed in this table do not represent market values of all assets 
and liabilities of the Corporation and, thus, should not be interpreted to 
represent a market or liquidation value for the Corporation.  In addition, 
the carrying value for loans above differs from that reported elsewhere due 
to the exclusion of leases receivable of $17,807 and $12,331 in 1997 and 
1996, respectively.

CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS 

Cash and short-term investments include cash and due from banks, short-term 
money market investments, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal 
funds sold. For cash and short-term investments, the carrying amount is a 
reasonable estimate of fair value.

SECURITIES

For securities, fair value equals quoted market price, if available.  If a 
quoted market price is not available, fair value is 

<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS OTHER THAN SHARE DATA IN THOUSANDS)


NOTE 16.  DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED

estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.  Fair values for 
nonmarketable equity securities are equal to cost as there is no readily 
determinable fair value.  Carrying amount of accrued interest receivable 
approximates fair value.

LOANS

For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential 
mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for 
securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan 
characteristics.  The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by 
discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar 
loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same 
remaining maturities.  Carrying amount of accrued interest receivable 
approximates fair value.

DEPOSITS

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, money market deposits, 
and variable rate certificates of deposit is the amount payable on demand at 
the reporting date. The fair value of other time deposits is estimated using 
the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  
Carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

SHORT-TERM DEBT

Rates currently available to the Corporation for debt with similar terms and 
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt. These 
instruments adjust on a periodic basis and thus the carrying amount 
represents fair value.  Carrying amount of accrued interest payable 
approximates fair value.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities are used 
to estimate fair value of existing debt. Carrying amount of accrued interest 
payable approximates fair value.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT

The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged 
to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of 
the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  For 
fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between 
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of 
guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for 
similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise 
settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  
Because all commitments and standby letters of credit reflect current fees 
and interest rates, no unrealized gains or losses are reflected in the 
summary of fair values.

NOTE 17.    COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CREDIT RISK

Most of the business activity of the Corporation and its subsidiaries is 
conducted with customers located in the immediate geographical area of their 
offices.  These areas are comprised of Southwestern Indiana, Kentucky, and 
Southeastern Illinois.  The Corporation maintains a diversified loan 
portfolio which contains no concentration of credit risk from borrowers 
engaged in the same or similar industries exceeding 10% of total loans.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries evaluate each credit request of their 
customers in accordance with established lending policies.  Based on these 
evaluations and the underlying policies, the amount of required collateral 
(if any) is established. Collateral held varies but may include negotiable 
instruments, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, 
income producing properties, residential real estate, and vehicles.  The 
lenders' access to these collateral items is generally established through 
the maintenance of recorded liens or, in the case of negotiable instruments, 
possession.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are parties to legal actions which arise 
in the normal course of their business activities.  In the opinion of 
management, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have 
a materially adverse effect on the financial position or on the results of 
operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet 
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its 
customers.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit 
and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance 
sheet.  The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the 
extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial 
instruments.

The Corporation's exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by 
the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit 
and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual notional 
amount of those instruments.  The Corporation uses the same credit policies 
in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for other 
on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts 
represent credit risk at December 31, 1997 follows:

<PAGE>

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as 
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination 
clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are 
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do 
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. 

Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the 
banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those 
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing 
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar 
transactions.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is 
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to 
customers.

The Corporation does not engage in the use of interest rate swaps, futures, 
forwards, or option contracts.

NOTE 18.    DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Corporation established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for its shareholders 
in 1989.  The plan provides participating shareholders a method of investing 
their cash dividends in the Corporation's common stock without payment of any 
brokerage commission, service charge, or other expense.  In addition, 
participating shareholders may also invest up to $10,000 per calendar quarter 
in the Corporation's common stock through the optional cash payment feature 
of the plan.  

The plan permits the issuance of previously authorized and unissued shares or 
the repurchase of outstanding shares for reissuance.  As of December 31, 
1997, 48,925 shares of authorized but unissued common stock were reserved for 
plan requirements.

NOTE 19.    EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

The Corporation maintained a noncontributory pension plan in which 
substantially all full-time employees were eligible to participate upon the 
completion of one year of service.  No contribution or funding by the 
Corporation was required in any of the years reported here.  The assets of 
the pension plan primarily consist of corporate obligations and equity 
securities.  The plan does not hold any equity securities of the Corporation. 
The plan was curtailed effective December 31, 1997.

In establishing the amounts reflected in the financial statements, the 
following significant assumption rates were used:

The Corporation also maintains a savings and profit-sharing plan for 
substantially all full-time employees who have completed one year of service. 
Employees may voluntarily contribute to the plan.  The Corporation's 
contribution to the plan, which is subject to the discretion of the Board of 
Directors, cannot exceed 7% of the net income before income taxes.  Corporate 
contributions were $1,563, $1,441, and $1,414 during 1997, 1996, and 1995, 
respectively.


United Financial Bancorp, Inc. had a Stock Option Plan and a Management 
Recognition and Retention Plan for its directors and officers.  The cost of 
the shares awarded under the retention plan was amortized using an 
accelerated method over vesting periods. These plans were terminated when the 
Corporation acquired this subsidiary.

NOTE 19.  EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS, CONTINUED

As the result of previous mergers and subsequent amendment of the 
Corporation's pension and profit-sharing plans to include employees of the 
other subsidiaries, retirement plans previously maintained by those 
subsidiaries have been terminated or frozen.

The plans have been amended to comply with requirements of the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Tax Reform Act of 1986.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                 OPERATIONS OF NATIONAL CITY BANCSHARES, INC.


     National City Bancshares, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by 
reference "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations" which is contained in the Registrant's Annual Report 
as Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1997 (the "1997 
MD&A").  The Registrant has not restated the 1997 MD&A to reflect the 
acquisition of Illinois One Bancorp, Inc. ("IOBI") because the acquisition of 
IOBI itself was not a significant business combination.  For a restatement of 
the 1997 MD&A to reflect the acquisition of IOBI, Trigg Bancorp, Inc. and 
Community First Financial, Inc., see Exhibit 99.5.

The Board of Directors

We have audited the accompanying statements of income, changes in 
stockholder's equity, and cash flows of Illinois One Bank, N.A. (the Bank), a 
wholly owned subsidiary of Illinois One Bancorp, Inc., for the year ended

Bank'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 results of operations and cash flows of Illinois

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Illinois One Bank, N.A. (the Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of Illinois
     One Bancorp, Inc. (Bancorp), is subject to competition from other financial
     institutions and the regulations of certain regulatory agencies, and
     undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. The following
     is a description of the more significant accounting policies:

          BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles and conform to predominant
     practices within the banking industry. The preparation of the financial
     statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
     requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including the
     determination of the allowance for loan losses, 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.

          STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
     include cash and due from banks, and federal funds sold.

          DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

     At the time of purchase, securities are classified in one of two
     categories: available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity
     securities are those securities which the Bank has the ability and intent
     to hold until maturity. All securities not classified as held-to-maturity
     are classified as available-for-sale.

     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 gains and losses, net of the
     related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from
     earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholder's equity until
     realized.

     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 and the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

     Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the lives of the
     respective securities, with consideration of historical and estimated
     prepayment rates for mortgage-backed securities, as an adjustment to yield
     using the interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when
     earned. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as
     available-for-sale are included in earnings based on the specific
     identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

          LOANS

     Unearned discount on certain installment loans is recognized as income
     principally on the sum-of-the-digits method over the term of the loan,
     which approximates the level yield method. Interest on all other loans is
     recognized based upon the principal amount outstanding using the
     simple-interest method. The recognition of interest income is discontinued
     when, in management's judgment, the interest will not be collectible in the
     normal course of business. Subsequent interest income is recognized only
     upon receipt. Loans are returned to accrual status only when management
     believes full collectibility of principal and interest is expected.

                                                               (Continued)

     During May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 114, ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS
     FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN (SFAS 114). During October 1994, the FASB issued
     SFAS No. 118, ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN - INCOME
     RECOGNITION AND DISCLOSURES (SFAS 118), which amends SFAS 114.

     SFAS 114 (as amended by SFAS 118) defines the recognition criteria for loan
     impairment and the measurement methods for certain impaired loans and loans
     whose terms have been modified in troubled-debt restructurings. Impairment
     of a restructured loan may be measured by either discounting the total
     expected future cash flows at the loan's effective rate of interest as
     stated in the original loan agreement or the fair value of the collateral
     for a collateral-dependent loan.

     Regardless of the historical measurement used, SFAS 114 requires a creditor
     to measure impairment based on the fair value of the collateral when the
     creditor has determined foreclosure is probable. SFAS 118 allows a creditor
     to use its existing nonaccrual methods for recognizing interest income on
     an impaired loan.

     The Bank adopted the provisions of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 on January 1, 1995
     (the first day of the Bank's fiscal year beginning after December 15,
     1994). The initial adoption of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 did not have a
     material effect on the Bank's financial position or results of operations.
     The Bank has elected to continue to use its existing methods for
     recognizing interest income on impaired loans. The Bank continues to apply
     all payments received on impaired loans to the outstanding balance of the
     loan until such time as the loan balance is reduced to zero. Interest
     income is recognized after all principal has been repaid or an improvement
     in the condition of the loan has occurred which would warrant resumption of
     interest accruals.

          ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb loan charge-offs. The
     allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and is reduced by
     loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. The provision charged to expense each
     year is that amount which management believes is sufficient to bring the
     balance of the allowance to a level adequate to absorb potential loan
     losses, based on knowledge and evaluation of the current loan portfolio and
     the current economic environment.

     Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb
     loan losses in the portfolio. While management uses available information
     to recognize loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be
     necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory
     agencies, as an integral part of the examination process, periodically
     review the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
     require the Bank to increase the allowance for loan losses based on their
     judgments about information available to them at the time of their
     examination.

          PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

     Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
     Depreciation is provided using straight-line and accelerated methods over
     the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets. Property additions and
     betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs which do not
     extend the useful lives of the assets are expensed as incurred.

                                                               (Continued)

          OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED

     Other real estate owned represents property acquired through foreclosure or
     deeded to the Bank in lieu of foreclosure. Other real estate is initially
     recorded on an individual asset basis at fair value minus estimated selling
     costs. If, subsequent to foreclosure, the fair value declines below the
     recorded value, the deficiency is recorded in a valuation allowance through
     a provision charged to expense. Subsequent increases in the fair value
     minus estimated costs are recorded through a reversal of the valuation
     allowance, but not below zero.

          EXCESS OF COST OVER FAIR VALUE OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED

     Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) is
     amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 40 years. Management
     evaluates the period of amortization continually to determine whether later
     events warrant a revised estimate.

          INCOME TAXES

     The Bank's parent, Bancorp, and the Bank file a consolidated income tax
     return. Tax expense is allocated to the Bank by Bancorp as if the Bank was
     filing a separate return. Provisions for income taxes are based on tax
     effects of transactions which are included in the determination of pretax
     accounting income.

(2)  CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bancorp. Bancorp relies on
     dividend payments from the Bank to meet its debt service payments and
     operating expenses. Bancorp's debt agreement with an unaffiliated bank is
     secured by 100% of the common stock of the Bank and requires maintenance of
     minimum stated capital-to-asset ratios and minimum total stockholder's
     equity balances. Such requirements have been met at June 30, 1995.

     The Bank 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 Bank. Under capital adequacy guidelines and
     the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet
     specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
     Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as
     calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital
     amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the
     regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy
     require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I
     capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as
     defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as
     defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 1995, the Bank meets all
     capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

     The most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the
     Currency categorized the Bank as WELL CAPITALIZED under the regulatory
     framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
     capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
     risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios. There are no conditions or events
     since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's
     category.

                                                               (Continued)

(3)  DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

     Proceeds from sales of debt and equity securities for the year ended June
     30, 1995 were $402,476. Gross gains of $175 and gross losses of $6,469 were
     realized on those sales for 1995.


(4)  LOANS

     Transactions in the allowance for loan losses for the year ended June 30,
     1995 are as follows:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Balance at beginning of year                                $ 552,306
     Reversal of prior years' provision for loan losses           (124,000)

     Loans charged off                                            (145,091)
     Recoveries of loans previously charged off                    106,333
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Net charge-offs                                               (38,758)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Balance at end of year                                      $ 389,548
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     The Bank grants commercial and agricultural, real estate mortgage, and
     installment loans to customers in the Bank's immediate geographic lending
     area. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial
     portion of its borrowers' abilities to honor their contractual obligations
     is dependent upon the agribusiness economic sector in this geographic
     lending area. Direct and indirect agricultural loans totaled approximately
     $8,861,000 at June 30, 1995. Generally, such loans are secured by farm
     assets and are expected to be repaid from cash flows of the farm
     operations. The Bank's policy for requiring collateral and access to that
     collateral is essentially the same as in extending credit to the Bank's
     other customers.

     A summary of impaired loans at June 30, 1995 follows:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Nonaccrual loans                                                  $326,000

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(8)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     The Bank maintains a defined contribution 401(k) employee benefit plan
     covering substantially all employees. The Bank makes contributions to the
     plan equal to 4% of covered employees' annual salaries. Employees are
     allowed to make additional contributions up to 15% of their annual salary.
     Employer contributions to the plan were $26,420 for the year ended June 30,
     1995.

     Postretirement benefits other than the 401(k) plan are generally not
     provided for the Bank's employees.

(9)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
     the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
     These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and
     standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees,
     elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance
     sheet.

     The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
     other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit
     and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of
     those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
     commitments and conditional obligations as it does for financial
     instruments included on the balance sheet. The contractual amount of
     off-balance-sheet financial instruments which represents credit risk as of
     June 30, 1995 is as follows:
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Commitments to extend credit                         $   2,499,034
     Standby letters of credit                                   65,000
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
     as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
     Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
     guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Commitments and
     standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other
     termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since certain of the
     commitments and letters of credit are expected to expire without being
     drawn upon, the total commitment and letter of credit amounts do not
     necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each
     customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
     collateral obtained,

                                                               (Continued)

Notes to Financial Statements

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on
     management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but
     may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment;
     investments in debt securities; deposits with financial institutions;
     residential real estate; and income-producing commercial properties.

     Various legal claims have arisen during the normal course of business
     which, in the opinion of management after discussion with legal counsel,
     will not result in any material liability to the Bank.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                                                          Exhibit 99.4

PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP


To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of National City Bancshares, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying supplemental consolidated statements of 
financial position and the related supplemental consolidated statements of 
income, shareholders' equity and cash flows present fairly in all material 
respects the supplemental financial position of National City Bancshares, Inc.
and its subsidiaries (the Company) at December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the 
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in 
the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.  These supplemental financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted 
our audits of these supplemental statements in accordance with generally 
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit 
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the supplemental financial 
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining on 
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 
supplemental financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall 
supplemental financial statements presentation.  We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

The supplemental financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger 
of National City Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries with Trigg Bancorp, Inc. 
and Community First Financial, Inc. on August 31, 1998, which has been 
accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in note 1 and 2 to the 
supplemental consolidated financial statements. Generally accepted accounting 
principles proscribe giving effect to a consummated business combination 
accounted for by the pooling of interest methods in financial statements that 
do not include the date of consummation. These financial statements do not 
extend through the date of consummation; however, they will become the 
historical consolidated financial statements of National City Bancshares, 
Inc. and Subsidiaries after financial statements covering the date of 
consummation of the business combination are issued.

Inc., consolidated subsidiaries, as of and for the year then ended December 
31, 1995, which statements reflect total revenue constituting 7% and 8%, 
respectively, of the related consolidated total.  Those statements were 
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our 
opinion for 1995, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Trigg 
Bancorp, Inc. and Community First Financial, Inc., is based solely on the 
report of the other auditors.

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 and the reports 
of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to 
the merger of National City Bancshares, Inc. and Trigg Bancorp, Inc. on 
August 31, 1998 and Community First Financial, Inc. on August 31, 1998, which 
has been accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in Note 1 to 
the supplemental consolidated financial statements.  Generally accepted 
accounting principles proscribe giving effect to a consummated business 
combination accounted for by the pooling of interests method in financial 
statements that do not include the date of consummation.  These financial 
statements do not extend through the date of consummation; however, they will 
become the historical consolidated financial statements of National City 
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries when financial statements for periods 
ending on or after the date of consummation of the business combination are 
issued.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the 
supplemental consolidated financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the results of their operations and their 
cash flows of National City Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year 
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS OTHER THAN SHARE DATA IN THOUSANDS)


NOTE 1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
National City Bancshares, Inc. (Corporation) is a bank holding company whose
subsidiaries provide a full range of banking services to individual and
corporate customers through its wholly-owned bank subsidiaries located in
Southwestern Indiana, Southeastern Illinois, and Kentucky. The subsidiary banks
are subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial
institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the Corporation and its
subsidiaries are subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and
undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies.

The supplemental consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and conform
to predominate practice within the banking industry.

Following is a description of the more significant of these policies.

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying supplemental consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: The National City
Bank of Evansville, The Peoples National Bank of Grayville, First Kentucky Bank,
Lincolnland Bank, The Bank of Mitchell, Pike County Bank, White County Bank,
Alliance Bank, The First National Bank of Wayne City, First Federal Savings Bank
of Leitchfield, First National Bank of Bridgeport, First Bank of Huntingburg,
Illinois One Bank, Trigg County Farmers Bank, Community First Bank, N.A.,
Community First Bank of Kentucky, NCBE Leasing Corp., and Twenty-One Southeast
Third Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries utilize the accrual basis of accounting for
major items.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions which significantly affect the amounts reported
in the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates which are
particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time include the
determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of real estate and
other properties acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of
amounts due from borrowers on loans. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

RESTATEMENT
The supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to
the Trigg and Community First transactions on August 31, 1998. Generally
accepted accounting principles proscribe giving effect to consummated business
combinations accounted for by the pooling of interests method in financial
statements that do not include the date of consummation. These financial
statements do not extend through the date of consummation; however, they will
become the historical consolidated financial statements of the Corporation after
financial statements covering the date of consummation of the business
combination are issued. The supplemental consolidated statements of financial
condition, income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows are presented as if the
combining companies had been consolidated for all periods presented. As required
by generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated statements of
shareholders' equity reflect the accounts of the Company as if the appropriate
amount of common stock issued in the Trigg and Community First acquisitions was
outstanding effective January 1, 1995, the earliest date reported upon in the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

CASH FLOWS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on
hand, amounts due from banks, and short-term money market investments.
Interest-bearing deposits in banks, regardless of maturity, are considered
short-term investments.

TRUST ASSETS
Property held for customers in fiduciary or agency capacities, other than trust
cash on deposit at the banks, is not included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements since such items are not assets of the Corporation or its
subsidiaries.

SECURITIES
Securities classified as held to maturity are those securities the Corporation
has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in
market conditions, liquidity needs, or changes in general economic conditions.
These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and
accretion of discount, computed by the interest method over their contractual
lives.

Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the
Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not
necessarily to maturity, and marketable equity securities. Any decision to sell
a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors,
including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix
of assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations,
and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair
value. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in
shareholders' equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains or
losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are
included as a component of net income.

Nonmarketable equity securities are carried at cost as there is no readily
determinable fair value.

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

LOANS
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, less unearned interest
income and an allowance for loan losses. Unearned income on installment loans is
recognized as income based on the sum-of-the-months digits method which
approximates the interest method. Interest income on substantially all other
loans is credited to income based on the principal balances of loans
outstanding.

The Corporation's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any
loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the
timely collectibility of interest or principal. Upon discontinuance of interest
accrual, unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income on these loans is
recognized to the extent interest payments are received and the principal is
considered fully collectible. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status
when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower
indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely
collectibility of interest and principal.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to provide for known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The
allowance is based upon a continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics of
the loan portfolios, past loan loss experience, and current economic conditions.
The continuing review considers such factors as the financial condition of the
borrower, fair market value of the collateral, and other considerations which,
in management's opinion, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses.
Loans which are deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance. The
provision for loan losses and recoveries are credited to the allowance.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due. The
portion of the allowance for loan losses applicable to impaired loans has been
computed based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of
interest and principal discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or on
the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The entire
change in present value of expected cash flows of impaired loans or of
collateral value is reported as bad debt expense in the same manner in which
impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad debt
expense that otherwise would be reported.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Provisions for depreciation are charged to operating expense over the useful
lives of the assets, computed principally by the straight-line method.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired consist primarily of
goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Goodwill is amortized to expense over
varying periods up to 25 years using the straight-line method. Core deposit
intangibles are amortized over 7 years using the straight-line method.
Amortization for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, was $1,106,
$584, and $466, respectively. Intangible assets are reviewed for possible
impairment when events or changed circumstances may affect the underlying basis
of the assets.

INCOME TAXES
The Corporation and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax
return with each organization computing its taxes on a separate company basis.
The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the financial
statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The
deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on enacted tax laws and
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to an amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is
the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION
The Corporation is recognizing the transition obligation using the straight-line
method over the plan participants' average future service period of twenty
years. Management does not expect this obligation to increase.

REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" (FAS 130), was issued in June 1997 by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board. The standard establishes reporting of comprehensive income for general
purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in
equity of a business enterprise during a period and all other events and
circumstances from nonowner sources. The Standard is effective for financial
statement periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The Corporation does not
believe the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" (FAS 131), was issued in June 1997 by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The standard requires the Corporation
to disclose the factors used to identify reportable segments including the basis
of organization, differences in products and services, geographic areas, and
regulatory environments. FAS 131 additionally requires financial results to be
reported in the financial statements for each reportable segment. The Standard
is effective for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 1997.

<PAGE>

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

The Corporation does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a 
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

On June 15, 1998, the FASB issued FAS No. 133 (FAS 133), "Accounting for 
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." FAS 133 established a new 
model for accounting for derivatives and hedging activities and supersedes 
and amends a number of existing standards. FAS 133 is effective for fiscal 
years beginning after June 15, 1999, but earlier application is permitted as 
of the beginning of any fiscal quarters subsequent to June 15, 1998. Upon the 
statement's initial application, all derivatives are required to be 
recognized in the statement of financial position as either assets or 
liabilities and measured at fair value. In addition, all hedging 
relationships must be designated, reassessed, and documented pursuant to the 
provisions of FAS 133. Adoption of FAS 133 is not expected to have a material 
financial statement impact on the Corporation.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the balances as of and for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, to be consistent with classifications adopted
for 1997.

NOTE 2.    BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On March 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired First Federal Savings Bank of
Leitchfield, a $43,000 savings bank located in Leitchfield, Kentucky. This
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and results of operations of First
Federal Savings Bank of Leitchfield since the acquisition have been included in
the financial statements. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value
of net assets acquired in the amount of $2,807 will be amortized over 25 years
using the straight-line method.

On August 1, 1997, the Corporation acquired Bridgeport Bancorp, Inc., the parent

NOTE 3.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128,
"Earnings per Share."  Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary and
fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.
Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any
dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities.  Diluted
earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted
earnings per share.  All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the Statement 128
requirements.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the year by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income for the year by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding.  Common stock equivalents assume exercise of stock
options and use of proceeds to purchase treasury stock at the average market
price for the period.

The following provides a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, the carrying value of securities pledged as 
collateral for public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted 
by law were $107,906 and $80,275, respectively.

During 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to allow all 
enterprises to make a one-time reassessment of the classification of securities 
made under FAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities". The Corporation transferred debt securities with an amortized cost 
of $34,987 from held-to-maturity classification to the available-for-sale 
classification and recorded, as a component of equity, an unrealized gain of 
$205, net of $128 of deferred taxes.

On March 31, 1997, the Corporation transferred $193,480 of securities 
classified as held to maturity to the available for sale category and recorded, 
as a component of equity, an unrealized gain of $160, net of $98 of deferred 
taxes. In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 115, these securities are now accounted for at fair value, and 
any unrealized gain or loss net of deferred tax effect is reflected as a 
separate component of shareholders' equity.

The Corporation has granted a blanket collateral agreement on qualified 
mortgage loans to secure advances from Federal Home Loan Banks.

In the normal course of business, the subsidiary banks make loans to their
executive officers and directors, and to companies and individuals affiliated
with officers and directors of the banks and the Corporation. In the opinion of
management, these loans were made on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with unrelated parties. The activity in these loans during 1997 is
as follows:

NOTE 7.  LEASE FINANCING

The Corporation's leasing operations include both direct financing and 
leveraged leasing. The direct financing leasing activity involves the leasing 
of various types of office, data processing, and transportation equipment. 
These equipment leases have lives of three to seven years.

Under the direct financing method of accounting for leases, the total net 
rentals receivable under the lease contracts, initial direct costs (net of 
fees), and the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the leased equipment, 
net of unearned income, are recorded as a net investment in direct financing 
leases, and the unearned income on each lease is recognized each month at a 
constant periodic rate of return on the unrecovered investment.

The composition of the net investment in direct lease financing at December 31, 
1997 is as follows:

In 1997, the Corporation's leasing subsidiary, entered into two leveraged 
leases with a regional air carrier for aircraft, which have an estimated 
economic life of 23 years, were leased for a term of 16.5 years. The equity 
investment in the aircraft represented 22% of the purchase price; the remaining 
88% was furnished by third-party financing in the form of long-term debt with 
no recourse against the lessor and is secured by a first lien on the aircraft. 
At the end of the lease term, the aircraft will be turned back to the lessor. 
The residual value at that time is estimated to be 32% of the cost. For federal 
income tax purposes, the lessor receives the benefit of tax deductions for 
depreciation on the entire leased asset and for the interest on the long-term 
debt. Since during the early years of the lease those deductions exceed the 
lease rental income, excess deductions are available to offset other taxable 
income. In the later years of the lease, rental income will exceed the 
deductions which will increase taxable income. Deferred taxes are provided to 
reflect this reversal of tax deductions. The net investment in leveraged leases 
at December 31, 1997, are composed of the following elements:

The Federal Home Loan Bank advances are collateralized by a blanket collateral
agreement on qualified mortgage loans.
 
The terms of the loan agreement with Northern Trust Company require the
Corporation to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain
restrictions. These include, maintenance of minimum consolidated capital levels,
limits on debt and guarantees of debt by the Corporation, restrictions on the
ratio of consolidated non-performing assets to total loans and of the
consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses to total non-performing loans,
and certain other restrictions. Management believes the Corporation has complied
with all of the covenants of this loan agreement.

Aggregate maturities required on other borrowings at December 31, 1997 are due
in future years as follows:

NOTE 14.  CAPITAL RATIOS
 
The Corporation and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by federal and state 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 materially adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, a bank must

NOTE 14.  CAPITAL RATIOS, CONTINUED

meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of 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 subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and
ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in
the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31,
1997, that the Corporation and its subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy
requirements to which they were subject.
 
As of December 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the federal and state
regulatory agencies categorized each of the subsidiary banks as well capitalized
under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The banks must
maintain the minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the categorization of any of
the subsidiary banks.
 
The following table presents the actual capital amounts and ratios for the
Corporation and its bank subsidiaries which have assets in excess of ten percent
of consolidated assets:

NOTE 15.  INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
In 1995, the Corporation's board of directors approved a fixed Incentive
Stock Option Plan (Plan) which was approved by shareholders in 1996. The Plan
currently reserves 554,523 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise
of options granted as incentive awards to key employees of the Corporation.
Awards may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. All
options granted under the Plan are required to be exercised within ten years of
the date granted. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan cannot be
less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
 
Grants under the Plan are accounted for following APB Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
grants under the Plan. Compensation expense of $234, $54, and $0 was recognized
for tax purposes in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Had compensation cost
for the Plan been determined based on the grant date fair values of awards (the
method described in FASB Statement No. 123), reported net income and earnings
per common share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts shown below.

Generally accepted accounting principles provide for the use of the 
Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options 
which have no vesting restrictions.  This model requires the use of 
subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility.  As a 
result, management believes the Black-Scholes valuation model may not 
necessarily provide the best single measure of option value.

The fair value of the stock options granted under the Plan has been estimated 
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted 
average assumptions.

</TABLE>

The above fair value information was derived using the information described 
below for the groups of instruments listed. It should be noted the fair 
values disclosed in this table do not represent market values of all assets 
and liabilities of the Corporation and, thus, should not be interpreted to 
represent a market or liquidation value for the Corporation.  In addition, 
the carrying value for loans above differs from that reported elsewhere due 
to the exclusion of leases receivable of $17,807 and $12,331 in 1997 and 
1996, respectively.

CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash and short-term investments include cash and due from banks, short-term 
money market investments, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and federal 
funds sold. For cash and short-term investments, the carrying amount is a 
reasonable estimate of fair value.

SECURITIES
For securities, fair value equals quoted market price, if available.  If a 
quoted market price is not available, fair value is

CONTINUED

estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.  Fair values for 
nonmarketable equity securities are equal to cost as there is no readily 
determinable fair value.  Carrying amount of accrued interest receivable 
approximates fair value.

LOANS
For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential 
mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for 
securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan 
characteristics.  The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by 
discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar 
loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same 
remaining maturities.  Carrying amount of accrued interest receivable 
approximates fair value.

DEPOSITS
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, money market deposits, 
and variable rate certificates of deposit is the amount payable on demand at 
the reporting date. The fair value of other time deposits is estimated using 
the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.  
Carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value.

SHORT-TERM DEBT
Rates currently available to the Corporation for debt with similar terms and 
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt. These 
instruments adjust on a periodic basis and thus the carrying amount 
represents fair value.  Carrying amount of accrued interest payable 
approximates fair value.

LONG-TERM DEBT
Rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities are used 
to estimate fair value of existing debt. Carrying amount of accrued interest 
payable approximates fair value.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged 
to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of 
the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  For 
fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between 
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of 
guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for 
similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise 
settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  
Because all commitments and standby letters of credit reflect current fees 
and interest rates, no unrealized gains or losses are reflected in the 
summary of fair values.

NOTE 17.  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CREDIT RISK

Most of the business activity of the Corporation and its subsidiaries is 
conducted with customers located in the immediate geographical area of their 
offices.  These areas are comprised of Southwestern Indiana, Western 
Kentucky, and Southeastern Illinois.  The Corporation maintains a diversified 
loan portfolio which contains no concentration of credit risk from borrowers 
engaged in the same or similar industries exceeding 10% of total loans.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries evaluate each credit request of their 
customers in accordance with established lending policies.  Based on these 
evaluations and the underlying policies, the amount of required collateral 
(if any) is established. Collateral held varies but may include negotiable 
instruments, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, 
income producing properties, residential real estate, and vehicles.  The 
lenders' access to these collateral items is generally established through 
the maintenance of recorded liens or, in the case of negotiable instruments, 
possession.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are parties to legal actions which arise 
in the normal course of their business activities.  In the opinion of 
management, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have 
a materially adverse effect on the financial position or on the results of 
operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet 
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its 
customers.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit 
and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance 
sheet.  The contractual or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the 
extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial 
instruments.

The Corporation's exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by 
the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit 
and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual notional 
amount of those instruments.  The Corporation uses the same credit policies 
in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for other 
on-balance sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract amounts 
represent credit risk at December 31, 1997 follows:

NOTE 17.  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND CREDIT RISK, CONTINUED

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as 
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination 
clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are 
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do 
not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the 
banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those 
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing 
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar 
transactions.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is 
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to 
customers.

The Corporation does not engage in the use of interest rate swaps, futures, 
forwards, or option contracts.

NOTE 18.  DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Corporation established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan for its shareholders 
in 1989.  The plan provides participating shareholders a method of investing 
their cash dividends in the Corporation's common stock without payment of any 
brokerage commission, service charge, or other expense.  In addition, 
participating shareholders may also invest up to $10,000 per calendar quarter 
in the Corporation's common stock through the optional cash payment feature 
of the plan.

The plan permits the issuance of previously authorized and unissued shares or 
the repurchase of outstanding shares for reissuance.  As of December 31, 
1997, 48,925 shares of authorized but unissued common stock were reserved for 
plan requirements.

NOTE 19.  EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

The Corporation maintained a noncontributory pension plan in which 
substantially all full-time employees were eligible to participate upon the 
completion of one year of service.  No contribution or funding by the 
Corporation was required in any of the years reported here.  The assets of 
the pension plan primarily consist of corporate obligations and equity 
securities.  The plan does not hold any equity securities of the Corporation. 
The plan was curtailed effective December 31, 1997.

In establishing the amounts reflected in the financial statements, the 
following significant assumption rates were used:

subsidiaries, including fifteen commercial banks and one savings bank with a 
total of forty-four banking centers serving thirty-three communities, a 
leasing corporation, a property management company, and a financial services 
company (which is a subsidiary of a subsidiary bank).  Each subsidiary, its 
location, number of offices, year founded, date of affiliation with the 
Corporation, and size in assets and equity is shown on the previous page.  On 
June 17, 1997, The Farmers and Merchants Bank, which was acquired by the 
Corporation January 30, 1989, was merged into The National City Bank of 
Evansville.  On June 30, 1997, United Federal Savings Bank, which was 
acquired by the Corporation August 31, 1995, was merged into The State Bank 
of Washington with the name changed to Alliance Bank.  

The Corporation's subsidiary banks provide a wide range of financial services 
to the communities they serve in Southwestern Indiana, Kentucky, and 
Southeastern Illinois.  These services include various types of deposit 
accounts; safe deposit boxes; safekeeping of securities; automated teller 
machines; consumer, mortgage, and commercial loans; mortgage loan sales and 
servicing; letters of credit; accounts receivable management (financing, 
accounting, billing, and collecting); and complete personal and corporate 
trust services.  All deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation.  

The Corporation continues to grow rapidly by acquiring community banks.  The 
financial results of the acquisitions can best be assessed from the 
Corporation's financial statements on a quarterly, as-reported basis.  After 
each acquisition accounted for as a pooling of interests, the Corporation's 
financial statements are restated to include the results of the acquiree. 
From the beginning of 1995 through August 31, 1998, the Corporation acquired 
assets of $594,507 (measured at the time of each acquisition) in 9 
transactions accounted for as poolings of interests.

Since the beginning of 1995, the Corporation has also acquired $172,581 
(measured at the time of each acquisition) in assets through transactions 
accounted for as purchases.  Financial statements are not restated following 
a transaction accounted for as a purchase; instead, the Corporation's 
financial statements include the results of each acquiree following 
acquisition. Transactions accounted for as purchases typically result in the 
Corporation's recording intangible assets, including goodwill, which the 
Corporation amortizes on a straight-line basis.  The Corporation has recorded 
$19,716 (measured at the time of each acquisition) in intangible assets as 
the direct result of purchases consummated between the beginning of 1995 and 
the end of 1997.

In 1997, First Federal Savings Bank of Leitchfield and First National Bank of 
Bridgeport became subsidiaries of the Corporation in transactions accounted 
for as purchases.  As a result of the purchases, the Corporation's assets 
increased $97,335 and it recorded intangible assets of $12,142.  First Bank 
of Huntingburg also became a subsidiary of the Corporation in 1997.  This 
acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests; accordingly, 
financial results for periods prior to the acquisition reported in the 
following sections and in the financial statements have been restated to 
include the results of First Bank of Huntingburg, including $108,109 in 
assets.  Footnote 2 to the financial statements includes additional 
information about each transaction.

Through August 31, 1998, the Corporation has acquired Bank of Illinois in 
Mount Vernon and a subsidiary of the Corporation has acquired a branch office 
in Mayfield, Kentucky.  Both transactions were accounted for as purchases.  
Bank of Illinois in Mount Vernon had assets at December 31, 1997 of $163,450. 
The branch purchase increased the Corporation's deposits by $65,639.  The 
Corporation will record approximately $19,601 in intangible assets as a 
result of both transactions.

The Corporation acquired Illinois One Bancorp, Inc. on May 29, 1998, and 
Trigg Bancorp, Inc., and Community First Financial, Inc. on August 31, 1998. 
Together, the acquirees have assets of approximately $315,000.  The 
Corporation accounted for these transactions as poolings of interests.  
Footnote 2 to the financial statements provides additional information about 
these acquisitions. Footnote 21 to the financial statements provides 
additional information about pending acquisitions.

Management expects to continue to pursue acquisition opportunities as they 
arise.  Management believes other community banks located in the 
Corporation's general geographic area (which may extend beyond the tri-state 
region currently served) will find the Corporation an attractive partner 
because the Corporation shares a commitment to local communities and provides 
the opportunity to retain much of the operational decision making in those 
communities while recognizing the efficiencies of affiliation with a larger 
organization.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Basic earnings per share for 1997 were $1.76, representing a 12% increase 
over the 1996 results.  The increase in earnings per share was the result of 
a combination of increased net interest income, improved non-interest income, 
and continued cost control.  During 1997, book value per share increased by 
$2.24 to $13.69 and resulted in a ratio of average equity capital to average 
assets of 10.98%. 

Average earning assets increased $124,521, or 9.4%, and $102,497, or 8.4%, in
l997 and 1996, respectively.  Growth in average assets in 1997 was $142,365, or
10.1%, compared to $111,026, or 8.6%, in 1996.  During 1997, average interest
bearing deposits in banks decreased $1,267, or 24.4%, and average federal funds
sold decreased $1,159, or 7.7%.  Average securities increased $27,492, or 8.3%,
with the largest

increase being in tax-exempt municipals which increased by $65,392, or 62.9%. 
Taxable municipals increased $607, or 20.2%.  U.S. Government and agencies 
decreased $39,655, or 19.7%, and all other types of securities decreased 
$6,785, or 22.7%.  The average market value adjustment on securities 
available for sale increased to an unrealized gain of $1,496 from an 
unrealized loss of $6,437 in 1996.  Average loans increased $99,455, or 
10.3%.  All types of loans increased during the year.  Average commercial 
loans increased $37,168, or 11.3%; average consumer loans increased $3,519, 
or 2.1%; and average mortgage loans increased $55,184, or 12.0%.  All other 
types of loans increased $3,584, or 30.4%.  The growth in the loan portfolio 
was due mainly to purchase acquisitions in which average loans increased by 
$41,784.  The remaining growth in the loan portfolio was attributable to a 
strong loan demand.  The change in the earning asset mix was intended to and 
did result in improved earnings in 1995, 1996, and 1997.

Average certificate of deposit and other time deposit balances increased 
by $67,909, or 11.3%, in 1997.  Average balances of money market accounts 
declined $5.  Savings and interest bearing checking accounts increased 
$1,788, or 0.6%. Average federal funds purchased and securities sold under 
agreements to repurchase increased $14,475, or 32.2%.  Average other 
borrowings increased $36,919, or 66.8%, principally due to increased use of 
Federal Home Bank advance lines.  Average noninterest-bearing deposits 
increased $9,750, or 6.8%.

SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

Securities comprised 24.9% of the 1997 average earning assets compared to 
25.2% and 26.4% in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  They represent the second 
largest earning asset component after loans.  The Corporation holds various 
types of securities, including mortgage-backed securities.  Inherent in 
mortgage-backed securities is prepayment risk, which occurs when borrowers 
prepay their obligations due to market fluctuations and rates.  In an effort 
to reduce this risk, management monitors the amount of mortgage-backed 
securities contained in the portfolio.  The Corporation has no securities of 
any single

issuer, with the exception of the U. S. Government, exceeding 10% of 
shareholders' equity. The Corporation manages the quality and risk of 
securities through its Asset/Liability Committee, which recommends and 
monitors the composition of the overall security portfolio as approved by the 
Corporation's Board of Directors.  Among other things, the investment policy 
establishes guidelines for the level, type, quality, and mix of securities 
appropriate for the portfolio.  The securities portfolio at December 31, 
1997, included $1,748 in structured notes, which were comprised of $1,000 in 
an indexed amortizing note, $500 in a delevered floating note, and $248 in a 
capped floating rate note.  These securities have risk characteristics which 
are well within the constraints of the non-structured securities held in the 
securities portfolio.

Securities classified as held to maturity are carried at amortized cost, and 
those classified as available for sale are carried at fair value.  The 
available-for-sale securities included unrealized gains of approximately 
$7,406 and unrealized losses of $679 at December 31, 1997.  At December 31, 
1997, available-for-sale securities included $66,568 in mortgage-backed 
securities, or 19.4% of the available-for-sale portfolio.  The weighted 
average maturity of the available-for-sale portfolio at December 31, 1997, 
was 9.3 years.  The weighted average maturity of the available-for-sale and 
the held-to-maturity portfolios at December 31, 1996 was 7.3 years and 7.9 
years, respectively.  The weighted average yields on municipal securities 
that are tax-exempt have been computed on a federal-tax-equivalent basis 
using a 35.0% tax rate.


LOANS

Each subsidiary bank follows loan policies approved by its board of 
directors. These policies are compatible with the Corporation's loan policy 
approved by its Board of Directors.  The lending policies address risks 
associated with each type of lending, collateralization, loan-to-value 
ratios, loan concentrations, insider lending, and other pertinent matters.  
These functions are monitored by subsidiary and corporate loan review 
personnel and by the loan committees of the subsidiaries' boards of directors 
for compliance and loan quality.  Management believes that careful loan 
administration and high credit standards minimize credit risk, as evidenced 
by the ratio of underperforming loans to total loans. Speculative loans are 
prohibited and the loan portfolio contains no foreign loans. 

The Corporation's loan portfolio is diversified by type of loan and industry, 
and, within its market area, by geographic location, which minimizes economic 
risk.  The loan portfolio contained 20.6% commercial loans, 57.5% real estate 
loans (primarily residential), and 14.8% consumer loans at December 31, 1997. 
The Corporation's subsidiary banks lend to customers in various industries 
including manufacturing, agricultural, health and other services, 
transportation, mining, wholesale, and retail. 

Commercial and industrial loans increased $24,135, of which approximately 30% 
was due to acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method.  The 
remaining increase was due to a general increase in business among the 
communities the Corporation's banks serve.  Growth in consumer lending was 
primarily due to acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method.

Real estate loans increased $80,722, of which approximately 38% was due to 
purchase acquisitions.  The remaining increase was a direct result of strong 
loan demand in the markets served by the Corporation's banks supported by a 
favorable interest rate environment.  This portfolio primarily consists of 
single-family, owner-occupied housing.  The Corporation's guidelines for 
residential mortgage lending were followed and advances normally did not 
exceed 80% of appraised value.

At December 31, 1997, there was no concentration of credit risk from 
borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries exceeding 10% of total 
loans. Geographic diversification is provided by the Corporation's policy to 
extend credit to customers in its geographic market areas in and around the 
subsidiary banks' banking offices in Southwestern Indiana, Southeastern 
Illinois, Kentucky, and Northeastern Kentucky.

UNDERPERFORMING ASSETS

Underperforming assets consist of nonaccrual securities and loans, 
restructured loans, loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate 
held.  Nonaccrual securities are those which have defaulted on interest 
payments.  Nonaccrual loans are loans on which interest recognition has been 
suspended because of doubts as to the borrower's ability to repay principal 
or interest. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status after becoming 
90 days past due if the ultimate collectibility of the loan is in question.  
Loans which are current, but as to which serious doubt exists about repayment 
ability, may also be placed on nonaccrual status.  Restructured loans are 
loans where the terms have been changed to provide a reduction or deferral of 
principal or interest because of the borrower's financial position.  Past-due 
loans are loans that are continuing to accrue interest but are contractually 
past due ninety days or more as to interest or principal payments.  Other 
real estate owned represents properties obtained for debts previously 
contracted. Management is not aware of any loans which have not been 
disclosed as underperforming assets that represent or result from unfavorable 
trends or uncertainties which management reasonably believes will materially 
adversely affect future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources, 
or represent material credits as to which management has serious doubt as to 
the ability of such borrower to comply with loan repayment terms.

Past due 90 days or more, nonaccrual, and restructured loans were 0.7% and 
0.5% of total loans at the end of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Of the loans 
in these categories, $2,102, or 28.5%, were secured by real estate at the end 
of 1997, compared to $1,977, or 37.4%, at the end of 1996.  Additional 
interest income that would have been recorded, if nonaccrual and

restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original terms, 
was $390, $261, and $172 in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.  The interest 
recognized on nonaccrual loans was approximately $83, $44, and $84 in 1997, 
1996, and 1995, respectively.

In addition to those loans classified as underperforming, management was 
monitoring loans of approximately $41,360 and $49,094 as of the end of 1997 
and 1996, respectively, for the borrowers' abilities to comply with present 
loan repayment terms.  All impaired loans discussed in Note 6 to the 
financial statements in this report are included in underperforming or 
closely monitored loans.

The Corporation monitors credit quality through a periodic review and 
analysis of each subsidiary bank's loan portfolio.  On a quarterly basis, 
each subsidiary bank performs an evaluation of the adequacy of its allowance 
for loan losses. The evaluation includes an analysis of past due loans, loans 
criticized during regulatory examinations, internally classified loans, 
delinquency trends, and other relevant factors.  The results of these 
evaluations are used by the Corporation to determine the adequacy of the 
consolidated allowance for loan losses.

RISK MANAGEMENT

As of December 31, 1997, management considered the allowance for loan losses 
adequate to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. Management 
reviews delinquent and problem loans weekly.  Loans which are judged 
uncollectible are charged off on a timely basis.  The allowance for loan 
losses is reviewed quarterly in order to evaluate and maintain its adequacy 
based on an analysis of the entire loan portfolio. Some of the factors used 
in this review include current economic conditions and forecasts, risk by 
type of loan, previous loan loss experience, and evaluation of specific 
borrowers and collateral. The Corporation and its banks monitor loan 
portfolios using models designed in part by regulatory agencies.

Total loans charged off during 1997 decreased $243, or 7.9%,

and recoveries were $336, or 45.7%, higher than in 1996.  The provision for 
loan losses for 1997 was decreased based on the Corporation's periodic 
analysis of the subsidiary bank's loan portfolios.  The provision for loan 
losses for 1996 was increased as a result of the increase in net charge-offs 
and growth of the loan portfolio.  In 1995, the provision for loan losses was 
increased due to increased loan volume.  In 1994, the provision for loan 
losses was decreased as a result of significant reductions in underperforming 
loans and net charge-offs.

DEPOSITS

The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee manages the deposits of its banks 
to achieve short-term and long-term benefits of deposit growth.  Average 
deposits increased $69,692, or 7.0%, during 1997, compared to $37,754, or 
4.0%, in 1996. Of the increase in 1997, $43,549 was due to purchase 
acquisitions.  Average time deposits of $100,000 or more increased $24,078, 
or 16.0%, compared to $30,260, or 25.2%, in 1996. The increase in time 
deposits of $100,000 or more in 1996 included $13,000 in brokered deposits.  
As of December 31, 1997, the Corporation had no brokered deposits.  
Management uses brokered deposits to supplement local deposits under 
guidelines and limits established by the Corporation's Asset/Liability 
Committee.  Time deposits of $100,000 or more are not considered to present 
an undue risk.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

At the end of 1997, shareholders' equity totaled $179,431, an increase of
$21,914, or 13.9%, from 1996.  The average equity to average asset ratio was
10.8% and 11.1% for 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decrease is attributable
to the Corporation's repurchase of 426,508 shares of its common stock for
approximately $16,200, during 1997.  The dividend payout ratio for 1997 was
33.49%, compared to 33.42% in 1996.

In 1995, The National City Bank of Evansville committed to build an addition 
to its main office to be completed in the second quarter of 1998.  The 
approximate cost of the addition and renovation of the main office of The 
National City Bank of Evansville is $18,000.  The National City Bank of 
Evansville and the Corporation will occupy four floors of the facility, at a 
cost of approximately $11,500, with the other five floors being sold as 
condominiums.  Four of these six floors have been sold to non-affiliated 
entities.  The Corporation, through its subsidiary Twenty-One Southeast Third 
Corporation, funded the project, including financing for the purchasers of 
the condominiums, through the proceeds of a $15,000 term loan.  Payments from 
the purchasers will be used to repay the term loan.  As of December 31, 1997, 
there were no other material commitments for capital expenditures.

Guidelines for minimum capital levels have been established for the 
Corporation by the Federal Reserve Board.  Tier I (core) capital consists of 
shareholders' equity less goodwill, other identifiable intangible assets, and 
unrealized losses on marketable equity securities.  Total capital consists of 
Tier I capital plus allowance for loan losses.  Minimum capital levels are 4% 
for the leverage ratio which is defined as Tier I capital as a percentage of 
total assets less goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets; 4% for 
Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets; and 8% for total capital to 
risk-weighted assets.  The Corporation has exceeded each of these levels.  
Its leverage ratio was 9.71% and 10.59%; Tier I capital to risk-weighted 
assets was 13.61% and 14.82%; and total capital to risk-weighted assets was 
14.55% and 15.77% at the end of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  In addition, 
each subsidiary bank has exceeded minimum regulatory capital guidelines.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Federal funds purchased are borrowings from other financial institutions 
maturing daily.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are secured 
transactions with customers.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase 
generally mature within six months.  Notes payable U.S. Treasury are demand 
notes created by treasury tax and loan account funds transfers.  Short-term 
borrowings increased $9,034, or 13.2%, during 1997.  At December 31, 1997, 
federal funds purchased were $55,000, reflecting an $825, or 1.5%, increase 
over 1996.  Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and notes payable 
U.S. Treasury increased during 1997 by $8,209, or 58.5%, and decreased by 
$7,066, or 33.4%, in 1996.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity of a banking institution reflects the ability to provide funds to 
meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits, and to take 
advantage of interest rate market opportunities. Funding loan requests, 
providing for liability outflows, and managing interest rate fluctuations 
require continuous analysis in order to match maturities of specific 
categories of short-term and long-term loans and investments with specific 
types of deposits and borrowings. Bank liquidity is thus normally considered 
in terms of the nature of mix of the banking institution's sources and uses 
of funds.

For the Corporation, the primary sources of short-term liquidity have been 
federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in banks, and U.S. Government 
and agency securities available for sale.

<PAGE>


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS OTHER THAN SHARE DATA IN THOUSANDS)

In addition to these sources, short-term liquidity is provided by maturing 
loans and securities. The balance between these sources and needs to fund 
loan demand and deposit withdrawals is monitored by the Corporation's 
asset/liability management program and by each subsidiary bank to provide 
liquidity without penalizing earnings. When these sources are not adequate, 
the Corporation utilizes federal funds purchased, brokered deposits, and its 
lines with Federal Home Loan Banks as alternative sources of liquidity.  The 
increased loan demand throughout the year was funded by an increase in 
deposits and other borrowings. Additionally, the Corporation's underwriting 
standards for its mortgage loan portfolio comply with standards established 
by government housing agencies; as a result, a portion of the mortgage loan 
portfolio could be sold to provide additional liquidity.  At December 31, 
1997 and 1996, respectively, federal funds sold were $13,939 and $6,749, 
interest-bearing deposits in banks were $3,269 and $3,151, and U.S. 
Government and agency securities available for sale were $71,391 and $77,738.

These sources and other liquid assets also satisfy long-term liquidity needs. 
Long-term liquidity is managed in the same way, only with longer maturities, 
to provide for future needs while maintaining interest margins.

The Corporation (parent company) maintains credit lines to provide an 
alternative source of liquidity.  At December 31, 1997, the Corporation had a 
$10,000, unsecured, revolving credit agreement with a bank.  On January 22, 
1998, the line was increased to $45,000.  The Corporation intends to use the 
line to provide short-term funding for acquisitions and other corporate 
purposes.

The ability of the Corporation to pay cash dividends to its shareholders is 
dependent on the receipt of cash from its subsidiary banks.  Banking 
regulations impose restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay 
dividends to the Corporation.  The amount of dividends that could be paid is 
further restricted by management to maintain prudent capital levels.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

The Corporation's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the
Asset/Liability Committee.  Interest rate risk is the most significant market
risk affecting the Corporation.  Other types of market risk do not arise in the
normal course of the Corporation's business activities.  Interest rate risk is
the potential economic loss due to future interest rate changes.  This economic
loss can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of
current fair market values.

The Corporation's net income is dependent, to a significant degree, on its net
interest income.  Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to
the degree that interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature on a different
basis than interest-earning assets.  When interest-bearing liabilities reprice
or mature more quickly than interest-earning assets, an increase in market rates
could adversely affect net interest income.  Similarly, if interest-earning
assets reprice or mature more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, a
decrease in market rates could adversely affect net interest income.  Changes in
market rates can also cause losses in the current fair values of financial
instruments.

In order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, the Corporation
monitors interest rate risk through analysis of standard gap reports and
interest rate shock simulation reports on the effect of changes in interest
rates on net interest income and on the economic value of equity (the present
value of expected cash flows from existing assets minus the present value of
expected cash flows from existing liabilities).  The following table sets forth,
at December 31, 1997, an analysis of the Corporation's interest rate risk as
measured by the estimated change in economic value of equity (EVE) following
parallel shifts in the yield curve.

Certain assumptions were employed in preparing data in the preceding table. 
These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit 
decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under the various 
interest rate scenarios.  Even if interest rates change in the designated 
amounts, there can be no assurance that the Corporation's assets and 
liabilities would perform as set forth.  In addition, a change in U.S. 
Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape 
of the Treasury yield curve would cause significantly different changes to 
the EVE than indicated above.

Derivative financial instruments include futures, forwards, interest rate 
swaps, option contracts, and other financial instruments with similar 
characteristics. The Corporation does not enter into futures, forwards, 
swaps, or options.  In the normal course of business, however, the 
Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk 
to meet the 

<PAGE>

financing needs of its customers.  These instruments involve, to 
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the 
amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts 
of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in 
particular classes of financial instruments. Financial instruments with 
off-balance-sheet risk at December 31, 1997 are discussed more throughly in 
Note 17 of the Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements.

Corporate asset liability gap positions are targeted at plus or minus 15% at 
the six-month and one-year horizons.  At December 31, 1997, all subsidiary 
banks were within, or close to, their targeted spreads.  The cumulative gap 
position through one year of negative $133,852 at the end of 1997 was 10.3% 
of total assets, which management believes is a relatively balanced position.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for 1997 was $23,583, reflecting a $2,354, or 11.9, increase over 
1996.  Net income for 1996 increased $2,489, or 13.3%, over 1995.  Basic 
earnings per share in 1997 were $1.76, compared to $1.57 in 1996 and $1.36 in 
1995.  Increases in both rates and volumes of earning assets resulted in 
growth in net interest income of $4,167, or 6.7%, in 1997 and $5,498, or 
9.7%, in 1996. Noninterest income increased $1,484, or 13.8%, in 1997 and 
$1,769, or 19.7%, in 1996.  Noninterest expense increased $4,536, or 11.9%, 
in 1997 and $1,587, or 4.3%, in 1996.  The provision for loan losses 
decreased $1,049 in 1997 due to lower net charge-offs, and increased $2,899 
in 1996 due to higher net charge-offs and loan growth.

Changes in net interest income for the last two years are presented in the 
following schedule with dollar changes allocated to rate and volume 
variances. The combined rate-volume variances are included in the total 
volume variances.  In addition to this schedule, at the end of Management's 
Discussion is a three-year balance sheet analysis on an average basis and an 
analysis of net interest income.

The following discussion of results of operations is on a 
federal-tax-equivalent basis.  Average loans increased 10.3% during 1997 
compared to an increase of 12.1% during 1996.  Approximately 42% of the 
growth in average loan balances was attributable to acquisitions accounted 
for as purchases.  Loan income increased 10.4% in 1997 and 14.6% in 1996, 
principally due to increased loan volumes.  The average yield on loans was 
9.24% in 1997 and 9.23% in 1996.

Average securities before market value adjustments increased 5.8% in 1997 and 
4.9% in 1996.  Approximately 38% of the increase in average securities 
balances in 1997 was due to two purchase acquisitions.  Securities income 
increased 12.4% and 8.4% in 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The yield on 
securities increased from 6.76% in 1996 to 7.18% in 1997.  During 1997, 67.0% 
of the increase in interest income on securities was due to volume increases 
and 33.0% was attributable to rate increases, while in 1996, 55.8% of the 
increase was due to rate and 44.2% was due to volume.  Average earning assets 
increased $124,521, or 9.4%, in 1997 and $102,497, or 8.4%, in 1996.  
Purchase acquisitions accounted for 40.0% of the increase in 1997 and 15.9% 
in 1996.  The average yield on total earning assets increased from 8.58% in 
1996 to 8.68% in 1997, due principally to increased in yields on securities 
in 1997.  Increase in volumes of earning assets accounted for 90.9% and 78.6% 
of the growth in interest income in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Average total interest-bearing deposits increased 7.0% during 1997 and 3.9% 
during 1996.  Internal growth of average deposits accounted for 39.9% of the 
increase, while 60.1% was due to purchase acquisitions.  The average cost of 
interest bearing deposits increased from 4.16% to 4.24% in 1996 and increased 
from 4.24% to 4.29% in 1997.  Interest expense on deposits increased $3,438, 
or 8.2%, in 1997 and $2,406, or 6.1%, in 1996.  In 1997, 86.9% of the 
increase in interest expense on deposits was due to volume increases.  In 
1996, 66.5% of the increase in interest expense was due to volume increases 
and 33.5% due to rate increases.  Interest expense on federal

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED
(DOLLAR AMOUNTS OTHER THAN SHARE DATA IN THOUSANDS)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

funds purchased and other borrowings increased $2,639 in 1997 and $3,577 in 
1996.  The increases were principally due to increases in volumes.  The 
Corporation uses federal funds purchased and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, 
selectively, as alternative funding sources to meet short and 
intermediate-term funding needs.

In 1997 and 1996, net interest income increased $5,981 and $6,396, 
respectively.  Increases in volumes accounted for 82.9% of the increase in 
1997 and 75.8% in 1996.  The net interest income of purchase acquisitions 
accounted for $2,137, or 39.0%, of the increase in net interest income in 
1997 and $693, or 11.8%, in 1996.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased $1,484, or 13.8%, during 1997 and $1,769, or 
19.7%, during 1996.  Service charges on deposit accounts, the largest item in 
this category, increased $333, or 6.5%, during 1997 and $972, or 23.3%, 
during 1996.  Other service charges and fees increased $270, or 11.2%, in 
1997 and $593, or 32.7%, in 1996.  Trust fees increased $138, or 7.6%, during 
1997 and $219, or 13.7%, during 1996.  Trust fees fluctuate with changes in 
the number of estates managed each year and with changes in the market value 
of assets under management.  Security gains increased from $69 in 1996 to 
$798 in 1997.  Other types of noninterest income increased $14, or 1.1%, 
during 1997 and decreased $156, or 10.8%, during 1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense increased $4,536, or 11.9%, during 1997 and $1,587, or 
4.3%, in 1996.  Salaries and other employee benefits increased $2,900, or 
13.7%, during 1997 and $719, or 3.5%, in 1996.  Occupancy expense of bank 
premises increased $2 during 1997 and decreased $11, or 0.3%, during 1996.  
Furniture and equipment expense increased $166, or 6.2%, during 1997 and 
$272, or 11.3%, in 1996.  The FDIC assessment decreased $593, or 66.9%, 
during 1997 and $587, or 39.8%, during 1996 due to lower premium 
requirements.  The 1996 FDIC expense included $595 representing the cost of a 
special assessment on Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) insured 
deposits to recapitalize the SAIF.  Other types of noninterest expense 
increased $2,061, or 19.4%, during 1997 and $1,172, or 12.4%, during 1996.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The year 2000 has posed a unique set of challenges to those industries 
reliant on information technology.  As a result of methods employed by early 
programmers, many software applications and operational programs may be 
unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900.  If not effectively 
addressed, this problem could result in the production of inaccurate data, 
or, in the worst cases, the inability of the systems to continue to function 
altogether.  Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable due to the 
industry's dependence on electronic data processing systems.

In 1996, the Corporation started the process of identifying the hardware and 
software issues required to be addressed to assure year 2000 compliance.  The 
Corporation began by assessing the issues related to the year 2000 and the 
potential for those issues to adversely affect the Corporation's own 
operations and those of its subsidiaries.

Since that time, the Corporation has established a Year 2000 Compliance Team 
(the Team) composed of representatives from key areas throughout the 
organization.  It is the mission of this Team to identify areas subject to 
complications related to the year 2000 and to initiate remedial measures 
designed to eliminate any adverse effects on the Corporation's operations.

The Team has identified all mission-critical software and hardware that may 
be adversely affected by the year 2000 and has required vendors to represent 
that the systems and products provided are or will be year 2000 compliant.  
The Corporation expects that all mission critical software will be upgraded 
to achieve year 2000 compliance and tested by December 31, 1998.  In 
addition, the Team is developing contingency plans to address systems which 
do not become year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1998.

The Corporation is committed to a plan for achieving compliance, focusing not 
only on its own data processing systems, but also on its customers.  The Team 
has taken steps to educate and assist its customers with identifying their 
year 2000 compliance problems.  In addition, the Team has proposed policy and 
procedure changes to help identify potential risks to the Corporation and to 
gain an understanding of how customers are managing the risks associated with 
the year 2000.

Management believes that the organization has a effective corporate year 2000 
compliance program in place and that additional expenditures required to 
bring its systems into compliance will not have a materially adverse effect 
on the Corporation's operations, cash flow, or financial condition.  
Management expects total additional out-of-pocket expenditures to be 
approximately $500,000.  This includes fees to outside consulting firms, 
costs to upgrade equipment specifically for the purpose of year 2000 
compliance, and certain administrative expenditures.  However, the year 2000 
problem is pervasive and complex and can potentially affect any computer 
process.  Accordingly, no assurance can be given that year 2000 compliance 
can be achieved without additional unanticipated expenditures and 
uncertainties that might affect future financial results.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Board of Directors
Trigg Bancorp, Inc.
Cadiz, Kentucky



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Trigg Bancorp,
Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of income, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trigg
Bancorp, Inc. at September 30, 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          A.  Basis of Presentation - The consolidated balance sheet includes
the accounts of Trigg Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Trigg County Farmers Bank (the Bank).  All material intercompany
accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

          B.  Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal
funds are sold for one-day periods.

          C.  Investment Securities - The Bank classifies its investment
securities portfolio into three categories:  trading securities, securities
available for sale and securities held to maturity. Fair value adjustments are
made to the securities based on their classification with the exception of the
held to maturity category.  The Bank has no investments classified as trading
securities.  

          Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair value. 
Adjustments from amortized cost to fair value are recorded in stockholders'
equity, net of related income tax, under net unrealized gain (loss) on
securities available for sale.  The adjustment is computed on the difference
between fair value and amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts which are recorded as adjustments to interest income on a
constant yield method.

          Investment securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted
for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are recorded as
adjustments to interest income on a constant yield method.

          Gains or losses on dispositions are determined using the specific
identification method.

          D.  Loans - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal,
reduced by unearned interest and an allowance for loan losses.  Unearned
interest is recognized as income using a method which approximates the interest
method.  Interest income on other loans is recognized on the accrual basis
except for those loans in a nonaccrual income status.  Loans are placed in a
nonaccrual income status when management believes, after consideration of
economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrowers'
financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.

                                                                     Page 6

                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 
                                     (CONTINUED)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

               The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision
for loan losses charged to expense.  The allowance is an amount that management
believes 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.  Loans are charged
against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the
collectibility of the principal is unlikely.

               In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 114, "Accounting By Creditors For
Impairment of a Loan" which requires that allowances for loan losses on impaired
loans be determined using the present value of estimated future cash flows of
the loan, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of
the underlying collateral.  A loan is considered to be impaired when it is
probable that all principal and interest amounts will not be collected according
to the loan contract. The Company adopted the Statement, as required, on January
1, 1995.  The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

               E.  Bank Premises and Equipment - Bank premises and equipment are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is recorded
principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
premises and equipment.

               F.  Income Taxes - The Company and the Bank file a consolidated
federal income tax return.  The Bank is charged or credited an amount equal to
the tax that would have been applicable on a separate return basis.

               The Company uses the liability method for computing deferred
income taxes.  Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are based on
the change in the deferred tax liability or asset established for the expected
future tax consequences of differences in the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities.  The differences relate principally to the allowance
for loan losses, deferred compensation, pension obligations, bank premises and
equipment, FHLB dividends and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities.

</TABLE>

          The tax provision is less than that obtained by using the statutory
rates primarily because of tax-exempt interest income of approximately $67,000,
and nondeductible interest expense of approximately $10,000.

          The Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30,
1995 are as follows:

NOTE 6 - PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS

               The Bank had a defined benefit pension plan covering 
substantially all of its employees.  The Bank's funding policy is to 
contribute annually not less than the minimum required by applicable law nor 
more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax 
purposes.  Benefits are based on years of service and employee's compensation.

          The Bank has filed for termination of the plan according to 
regulations proscribed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.  Final 
approval is anticipated during 1996, at which time the plan's assets will be 
disbursed according to the plan document.  Plan benefits have been frozen 
since June 30, 1992 in contemplation of termination.

               The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and 
amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at 
September 30, 1995:

NOTE 6 - PENSION AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS (CONTINUED)

          A discount rate of 8% was used in 1995 and 1994 to compute the 
actuarial present value of the accumulated and projected benefit obligations. 
The assumed rate of return on plan assets is 8%.

          During 1993, the Company established a defined contribution 401(k) 
profit-sharing plan for substantially all employees.  Employees are allowed 
to contribute a percentage of compensation up to the maximum allowed by law. 
Company contributions are made for 50% of the participants' contributions up 
to 6%.  Additional contributions are at the discretion of the Board of 
Directors. Accrued contributions are included in other liabilities in the 
consolidated balance sheet. 

NOTE 7 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES

          The Bank owns stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of 
Cincinnati, Ohio which allows the Bank to borrow long-term advances from FHLB 
which the Bank uses to fund long-term fixed rate mortgages.

          At September 30, 1995, $9,320,669 represented the balance due on 
the above advances from the FHLB.  All advances are repaid on a monthly basis 
over terms of five to fifteen years with interest rates ranging from 5.30% to 
7.35%. Advances are secured by the FHLB stock and all single family first 
mortgage loans.  Scheduled principal payments due on advances during the five 
years subsequent to September 30, 1995 are as follows:  1996 - $791,956; 1997 
- -$843,663; 1998 - $826,086; 1999 - $866,011; 2000 - $923,754; years 
thereafter -$5,069,199. 

NOTE 8 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION

          The Bank has deferred compensation plan agreements for certain 
directors providing for payments upon retirement, death or disability.  The 
accrued liability at September 30, 1995 of $74,957 is included in other 
liabilities.

NOTE 9 - LIMITATION ON BANK DIVIDENDS

          The Company's principal source of funds is dividends received from 
the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid 
without prior approval of regulatory agencies.  Under these regulations, the 
amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year are limited to the 
current year's net profits, as defined, combined with the retained net 
profits of the preceding two years.   As of  September 30 , 1995 the Bank 
could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $945,000.

NOTE 10 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

               The Bank is party to financial instruments with 
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing 
needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include standby letters 
of credit and commitments to extend credit in the form of unused lines of 
credit.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and 
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

          At September 30, 1995 the Bank had the following financial 
instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

                                                           1995

          Standby letter of credit                     $     85,000

          Commitments to extend credit                 $  2,965,000

          Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued 
by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a third party.  The credit risk 
involved in issuing these letters of credit is essentially the same as the 
risk involved in extending loans to customers.  The Bank holds primarily 
certificates of deposit and real estate as collateral to support these 
commitments in whole or in part.

          Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer 
as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the 
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other 
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The Bank evaluates 
each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  Since many of the 
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total 
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  
Collateral held varies but primarily includes real estate.

NOTE 11 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

          The Bank grants residential, commercial and consumer related loans 
to customers primarily located in Trigg County and adjoining counties in 
Kentucky. Although the Bank has a diverse loan portfolio, a substantial 
portion of its debtors' ability to perform on the contracts is somewhat 
dependent upon the agricultural and tourism industries which have a 
significant impact on the local economy.

NOTE 12 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

               The Bank is a defendant in legal actions arising from normal 
business activities.  Management believes these actions are without merit or 
that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from them will not materially 
affect the Company's consolidated financial position.

          The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has 
conducted an investigation of a land development project undertaken by 
Frontier Village, Inc. for which the Bank provided financing.  By virtue of a 
deed in lieu of foreclosure, the Bank became an owner of the land being 
developed.  The Bank has been advised that HUD believes that the developer 
failed to comply with certain requirements of the Interstate Land Sales Full 
Disclosure Act, and that HUD contends that the Bank is a co-developer with 
Frontier Village, Inc.  HUD also contends that all lot sales made by the 
developers are voidable at the option of the purchasers.

          The Bank's management, based upon advice of its legal counsel, 
rejects HUD's assertion that it is a co-developer of this project and will 
vigorously defend its position.  The Bank has offered a settlement to HUD and 
the developer involving a new loan by the Bank, secured by real estate, to 
allow completion of improvements on the property and cover any lot 
repurchases resulting from recission by the buyers of lots.  The Bank has had 
no additional correspondence with HUD since November 1990.  If a final 
settlement is not effected, the Bank intends to litigate the matter and to 
reserve amounts against estimated losses as they are determinable.

                      INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


The Board of Directors
Community First Bank, N.A.
Ripley, Ohio


     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Community First Bank, 
N.A. as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income, 
changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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 Community First 
Bank, N.A. as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its operations and 
its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

                             COMMUNITY FIRST BANK, N.A.

                                    RIPLEY, OHIO
                                          
                         Years Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY
       Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities the
     Bank has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of
     changes in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general
     economic conditions.  These securities are carried at cost adjusted for
     amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the interest
     method over their contractual lives.

     SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
       Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities
     that the Bank intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not
     necessarily to maturity.  Any decision to sell a security classified as
     available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant
     movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Bank's
     assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations,
     and other similar factors.  Securities available for sale are carried at
     fair value.  Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost
     of specific securities sold, are included in earnings.

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
       The allowance is maintained at a level adequate to absorb probable
     losses.  Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based upon
     reviews of individual credits, recent loss experience, current economic
     conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and
     other pertinent factors.  Credits deemed uncollectible are charged to the
     allowance.  Provisions for loan losses and recoveries on loans previously
     charged off are added to the allowance.

     PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT
       Properties and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
     depreciation.  The provision for depreciation is computed principally by
     the straight-line method. 

     OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
       Other real estate owned includes property acquired through foreclosure
     or forgiveness of debt.  These properties are carried at the lower of cost
     or current appraisal.  Losses from the acquisition of property in full or
     partial satisfaction of debt are treated as loan losses.  Routine holding
     costs, subsequent declines in value, and gains or losses on disposition are
     included in other expense.

     INTEREST INCOME ON LOANS
       Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the
     principal amount outstanding.  The accrual of interest on loans is
     discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication
     that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.  Upon
     such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.

     PENSION COSTS
       Pension costs are charged to salaries and employee benefits expense and
     are funded as accrued.  

                                        -6-

     POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
       Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits are charged to
     salaries and employee benefits expense when paid.  In December, 1990 the
     Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers' Accounting for
     Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.  Under SFAS No. 106, beginning
     in 1995, postretirement benefits other than pensions must be  accounted for
     in a manner similar to current standards for accounting for pensions.  SFAS
     No. 106 will require that the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
     be either charged in the income statement as a cumulative effect of a
     change in accounting in the period of adoption or delayed and amortized
     over future periods as part of future postretirement benefit costs.  The
     Bank does not pay any such benefits.

     INCOME TAXES
       Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the
     statements of income (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as
     interest on state and municipal securities) and include deferred taxes on
     temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and
     financial statement purposes.  Deferred taxes are computed using the asset
     and liability approach as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
     Income Taxes."

     NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
       Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income
     by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
     the period.

     OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
       In the ordinary course of business the Bank has entered into off balance
     sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit,
     commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit
     and standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in
     the financial statements when they become payable.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
       For the purpose of presentation in the Statements of Cash Flows, cash
     and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance
     sheet caption "Cash and Due from Banks."

     ACCOUNTING CHANGES
       On December 15, 1994, the bank adopted SFAS No. 114 to change it's
     method of accounting for impaired loans, which had no financial statement
     effect.

     RECLASSIFICATION
       Certain amounts in 1994 have been reclassified to conform with the 1995
     presentation.

NOTE 6:  FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES

  Pursuant to collateral agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), 
advances are secured by all stock in the FHLB, qualifying first mortgage 
loans, and selected mortgage-backed securities.  Advances at June 30, 1995, 
have various maturity dates thru 2009 with monthly payments expected to be 
made.

NOTE 7:  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

  The Bank has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that covers all
employees who have reached the age of 21 and have 1000 hours of service during
their anniversary year.  The Bank's funding policy is to make annual
contributions to the plan which at least equals the minimum required
contribution.  The bank did not make a contribution to the plan in either of the
years ended June 30, 1995 or June 30, 1994.

NOTE 9:  RELATED PARTIES

  The Bank has entered into transaction with its directors, significant 
shareholders and their affiliates (related parties). Such transactions were 
made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and 
conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at 
the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, 
in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present 
other unfavorable features.  The aggregate amount of loans to such related 
parties at June 30, 1995 was $383,000.  During the year new loans to such 
related parties amounted to $122,000 and repayments amounted to $48,000.

NOTE 10:  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

  The Bank's financial statements do not reflect various commitments which
arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit
risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk.  These are commitments to extend
credit.  A summary of the Bank's commitments and contingent liabilities at June
30, 1995 is as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

(In Thousands)                          Notional Amount
                                        ---------------
<S>                                     <C>
Commitments to extend credit                $   872
                                            -------
  Total                                     $   872
                                            -------
                                            -------

</TABLE>

  Commitments to extend credit have exposure to some credit loss in the event
of nonperformance of the customer.  The Bank's credit policies and procedures
for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for
extension of credit that are recorded on the balance sheet.  Because these
instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them expire without
being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk
to the Bank.  The Bank's experience has been that most loan commitments are
drawn upon by customers.  While few commercial letters of credit are utilized, a
significant portion of such utilization is on an immediate payment basis.  The
remainder are secured by the goods acquired by the customer with the letter of
credit.  The Bank has not been required to perform on any financial guarantees
during the past two years.  The Bank has not incurred any losses on its
commitments in either of the years ended June 30, 1995 or 1994.

  The Bank is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of 
business.  Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that 
the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be 
material to the financial position.

NOTE 11:  CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

  All of the Bank's loans and commitments have been granted to customers in the
Bank's market area. Most loan customers are depositors of the Bank.  Investments
in state and municipal securities also involve governmental entities within the
Bank's market area.  The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth
in Note 3.  The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the
distribution of loans outstanding.  The Bank, as a matter of policy, does not
extend credit to any single borrower in excess of its legal lending limit.

NOTE 12:  REGULATORY MATTERS

  The Bank, as a National Bank is subject to the dividend restrictions set 
forth by the Comptroller of the Currency.  Under such restrictions, the Bank 
may not, without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, 
declare dividends in excess of the sum of the current year's earnings (as 
defined) plus the retained earnings (as defined) from the prior two years.  
The dividends as of June 30, 1995, that the Bank could declare, without the 
approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, amounted to approximately 
$237,000.  The Bank is also required to maintain minimum amounts of capital

                      INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Community Bank of Kentucky


     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Community First Bank 
Kentucky (Bank) as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements 
of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then 
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present 
fairy, in all material respects, the financial position of Community First 
Bank of Kentucky as of September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
   The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals and
corporate customers, through its two branches in Warsaw and Dry Ridge, Kentucky,
which is primarily a rural agricultural area.  The Bank's primary deposit
products are interest-bearing checking accounts and certificates of deposit. 
Its primary lending products are single family residential loans and commercial
real estate loans.

USE OF ESTIMATES
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principals 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. 


   Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change 
relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the 
valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in 
satisfaction of loans.  In connection with the determination of the 
allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains 
independent appraisals for significant properties.

   A majority of the Bank's loan portfolio consists of commercial and 
single-family residential loans in the Warsaw-Dry Ridge area.  The regional
economy depends heavily on the agricultural industry. Accordingly, the ultimate
collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank's loan portfolio and the
recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed real
estate are susceptible to changes in local market conditions.

   While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and
foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary
based on changes in local economic conditions.  In addition, regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review
the Bank's allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate.  Such
agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on
their judgments about information available to them at the time of their
examination.  Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the
allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate may change materially
in the near term.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
   Debt securities that management has the ability and intent to hold to
maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discounts using methods approximating
the interest method.  Other marketable securities are classified as available-
for-sale and are carried at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses on
securities available-for-sale are recognized as direct increases or decreases in
shareholders' equity.  Cost of securities sold is recognized using the specific
identification method.

LOANS
   Loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan
losses and unearned discounts.

   Unearned discounts on installment loans are recognized as income over the
term of the loans using a method that approximates the interest method.

<PAGE>

   Loans are placed on nonaccrual when a loan is specifically determined to be
impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more.  Any
unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. 
Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless
the likelihood of further loss is remote.  Interest payments received on such
loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance.  Interest income
on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments
received.

   The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's
judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. 
The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the
collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio,
credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired
loans, and economic conditions.  Allowances for impaired loans are generally
determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash
flows.  The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is
charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
   Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of
the respective assets.  All premises and equipment are recorded at cost and are
depreciated on the straight-line method.

FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE
   Foreclosed real estate includes both formally foreclosed property and
in-substance foreclosed property.  In-substance foreclosed properties are those
properties for which the institution has taken physical possession, regardless
of whether formal foreclosure proceedings have taken place.

   At the time of foreclosure, foreclosed real estate is recorded at the 
lower of the Bank cost or the asset's fair value, less costs to sell, which 
becomes the property's new basis.  Any write-downs based on the asset's fair 
value at date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  
After foreclosure, these assets are carried at the lower of their new cost 
basis or fair value less cost to sell.  Costs incurred in maintaining 
foreclosed real estate and subsequent write-downs to reflect declines in the 
fair value of the property are included in income (loss) on foreclosed real 
estate.

INCOME TAXES
   Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in
the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes
related primarily to differences between the basis of available-for-sale
securities, allowance for loan losses, accrued income and expenses, and
accumulated depreciation for financial and income tax reporting.  The deferred
tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled.  The bank and its parent file a
consolidated federal income tax return on a calendar year basis.  Income tax
expense in the bank's income statement has be allocated on the basis of taxable
income for the bank by itself.

STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS    The Bank considers all cash and amounts due from 
depository institutions, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and 
federal funds sold to be cash equivalents for purposes of the statements of 
cash flows.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
   Certain amounts in 1994 have been reclassified to conform with the 1995
presentation.

  During 1995, the Bank sold securities available-for-sale for total proceeds of
approximately $492,000 resulting in gross realized gains of approximately $4,000
and no gross realized losses.  During 1994, the Bank sold no securities
available-for-sale.

  In 1995, debt securities with an amortized cost of $586,000 were transferred
from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale because of a merger acquisition. 
The securities had an unrealized gain of approximately $14,000.  There were no
securities transferred between classifications during 1994.      

   No investment securities at September 30, 1995 were pledged to secure 
deposits as required or permitted by law.

  At September 30, 1995, the Bank had no loans, that were specifically
classified as impaired.

  In addition at September 30, 1995 and 1994, the
Bank had other nonaccrual loans of approximately $259,000 and $238,000,
respectively, for which impairment had not been recognized. If interest on these
loans had been recognized at the original interest rates, interest income would
have increased approximately $15,000 and $21,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

  The Bank has no commitments to loan additional funds to the borrowers of
nonaccrual loans.

  In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has and expects
to continue to have transactions, including borrowings, with its officers,
directors, and their affiliates.  In the opinion of management, such
transactions were on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time of comparable transactions with
other persons and did not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility or
present any other unfavorable features to the Bank.  Loans to such borrowers, at
September 30, 1995, are summarized as follows:

NOTE H - PROFIT SHARING PLAN

  The Bank has a profit-sharing plan that covers substantially all employees. 
Contributions to the plan are based on a formula and are contingent upon the
attainment of certain levels of earnings as defined in the agreement.  During
the year ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, contributions to the plan
charged to operations were $14,000 and 4,000, respectively.

NOTE I - REGULATORY MATTERS

  The Bank, as a State Bank is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by
the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions.  Under such restrictions, the
Bank may not, without the prior approval of the Department of Financial
Institutions declare dividends in the excess of the sum of the current year's
earnings (as defined) plus the retained earnings (as defined) from the prior two
years. The dividends as of September 30, 1995, that the Bank could declare,
without the approval of the D.F.I., amounted to approximately $652,000.  The
Bank is also required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total "risk
weighted" assets, as defined by the banking regulators.  At September 30, 1995,
the Bank is required to have minimum Tier 1 and Total capital ratios of 4.00%
and 8.00% respectively.  The Bank's actual ratios at that date were 12.80% and
14.05% respectively.  The Bank's leverage ratio at September 30, 1995, was
9.03%.

NOTE J - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  There were no commitments under standby letters of credit.

  In addition, the Bank is a defendant in various legal proceedings arising in
connection with its  business.  It is the best judgment of management that
neither the financial position nor results of operations of the Bank will be
materially affected by the final outcome of these legal proceedings.

NOTE K - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

  The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. 
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.

  The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments (see NOTE
J).  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount and type of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, varies and
is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.

  The bank had due from bank balances in excess of $100,000 with the following
financial institutions as of September 30, 1995:

                      INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


The Board of Directors
Community First Bank
Mt. Olivet, KY


     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Community First Bank, 
Mt. Olivet, Kentucky as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements 
of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then 
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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 Community First 
Bank as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its operations and its 
cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY
     Securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities the
Bank has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes
in market conditions, liquidity needs or changes in general economic conditions.
These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and
accretion of discount, computed by the interest method over their contractual
lives.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
     Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that
the Bank intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily
to maturity.  Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale
would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest
rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Bank's assets and liabilities,
liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. 
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value.  Realized gains or
losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold,
are included in earnings.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
     The allowance is maintained at a level adequate to absorb probable losses. 
Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of
individual credits, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the
risk characteristics of the various categories of loans and other pertinent
factors.  Credits deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance.  Provisions
for loan losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the
allowance.

PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT
     Properties and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
The provision for depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line
method.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
     Other real estate owned includes property acquired through foreclosure or
forgiveness of debt.  These properties are carried at the lower of cost or
current appraisal.  Losses from the acquisition of property in full or partial
satisfaction of debt are treated as loan losses.  Routine holding costs,
subsequent declines in value, and gains or losses on disposition are included in
other expense.

INTEREST INCOME ON LOANS
     Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the principal
amount outstanding.  The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in
the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be
unable to meet payments as they become due.  Upon such discontinuance, all
unpaid accrued interest is reversed.

PENSION COSTS
     Pension costs are charged to salaries and employee benefits expense and are
funded as accrued.  


                                     -6-
<PAGE>


POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
     Postretirement health care and life insurance benefits are charged to
salaries and employee benefits expense when paid.  In December, 1990 the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions.  Under SFAS No. 106, beginning in 1995, postretirement
benefits other than pensions must be accounted for in a manner similar to
current standards for accounting for pensions.  SFAS No. 106 will require that
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation be either charged in the
income statement  as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting in the period
of adoption or delayed and amortized over future periods as part of future
postretirement benefit costs.  The Bank does not pay any such benefits. INCOME
TAXES Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the
statements of income (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on
state and municipal securities) and include deferred taxes on temporary
differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial
statement purposes.  Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability
approach as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
     Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period, after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends.

OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     In the ordinary course of business the Bank has entered into off balance
sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit,
commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and
standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the
financial statements when they become payable. 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
     For the purpose of presentation in the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and
cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet
caption "Cash and Due from Banks."

ACCOUNTING CHANGES
     On January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted SFAS No. 115 to change it's method of
accounting for investment securities.  The effect of the changes was to increase
shareholders' equity on January 1, 1994 by $9,000.

     On December 15, 1994, the bank adopted SFAS No. 114 to change it's method
of accounting for impaired loans, which had no financial statement effect. 

RECLASSIFICATION
     Certain amounts in 1994 have been reclassified to conform with the 1995
presentation.

NOTE 10:  RELATED PARTIES

     The Bank has entered into transactions with its directors, significant
shareholders and their affiliates (related parties).  Such transactions were
made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and
conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the
opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other
unfavorable features.  The aggregate amount of loans to such related parties at
June 30, 1995 was $150,000.  During the year ended June 30, 1995, new loans to
such related parties amounted to $0 and repayments amounted to $95,000.

NOTE 11:  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS

     The Bank's financial statements do not reflect various commitments which
arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit
risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk.  These are commitments to extend
credit and commercial letters of credit.  A summary of the Bank's commitments at
June 30, 1995 is as follows:  

<TABLE>

(In Thousands)                           Notional Amount
                                         ---------------
<S>                                      <C>
Commitments to extend credit                $  1,956
Commercial letters of credit                       1
                                            --------
  Total                                     $  1,957
                                            --------
                                            --------

</TABLE>

     Commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit all include
exposure to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. 
The Bank's credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and financial
guarantees are the same as those for extension of credit that are recorded on
the balance sheet.  Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and
because many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally
present any significant liquidity risk to the Bank.  The Bank's experience has
been that most loan commitments are drawn upon by customers.  While few
commercial letters of credit are utilized, a significant portion of such
utilization is on an immediate payment basis.  The remainder are secured by the
goods acquired by the customer with the letter of credit.  The Bank has not been
required to perform on any financial guarantees during the past year.  The Bank
has not incurred any losses on its commitments in either of the years ended June
30, 1995 or 1994. 

NOTE 12:  CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

     All of the Bank's loans, commitments, and commercial letters of credit have
been granted to customers in the Bank's market area.  Most loan customers are
depositors of the Bank.  Investments in state and municipal securities also
involve governmental entities within the Bank's market area.  The concentrations
of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 3.  The distribution of
commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding.
Commercial letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers. 
The Bank, as a matter of policy, does not extend credit to any single borrower
in excess of $645,000.

NOTE 13:  REGULATORY MATTERS

     The Bank, as a State Bank is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth
by the Department of Financial Institutions, under such restrictions, the bank
may not, without the prior approval of the State Regulator, declare dividends in
excess of the sum of the current year's earnings (as defined) plus the retained
earnings (as defined) from the prior two years.  The dividends as of June 30,
1995, that the Bank could declare, without the approval of the The Department of
Finanical Institutions, amounted to approximately $428,000.  The Bank is also
required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total "risk weighted" assets,
as defined by the banking regulators.  At June 30, 1995, the Bank is required to
have minimum Tier 1 and Total capital ratios of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. 
The Bank's actual ratios at that date were 11.75% and 13.00%, respectively.  The
Bank's leverage ratio at June 30, 1995, was 8.86%.
