State below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the

The Registrant competed its acquisition of Commerce Security Bank ("Commerce")
on September 1, 1996 as reported on Form 8-K15d5. Commerce was not a registrant
prior to the acquisition and much of the information needed to file the 10-QSB
had to be compiled including finalization of the purchase accounting entries.
As such, the Registrant does not have available all of the financial
information necessary for the timely completion of the Financial Statement and
Management's Discussion and Analysis sections of the Form 10-QSB.
