                   COMMERCIAL NATIONAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)

Note 1-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basic Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of regulation S-X and the instructions
for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete presentation of financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial condition of Commercial National
Financial Corporation as of  June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the
results of its operations for the three months and six months ending June 30,
1997 and June 30, 1996.  The results for the three months ended June 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Commercial National Financial Corporation (CNFC) and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Commercial Bank (Bank).  All material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Investment in Debt and Equity Securities
Securities are classified into held to maturity, available for sale and trading
categories.  Held to maturity securities are those which the Corporation has
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.  These securities are
reported at amortized cost.  Available for sale securities are those which the
Corporation may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability
management, tax planning or other reasons.  Available for sale securities are
reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included as a separate
component of equity net of tax.  Trading securities are bought principally for
sale in the near term, and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or
losses included in earnings.  The Corporation did not classify securities for
trading at any time during 1997 or 1996.

Income Taxes
Income tax for the three and six months ended June, 1997 and 1996 are based
upon the liability method, according to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."  Certain income tax and expense items are reported in different time
periods for tax purposes.  Deferred or prepaid taxes are recorded in Other
Assets in the balance sheet.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding and common equivalent shares with a
dilutive effect.  Common equivalent shares are shares which may be issuable to
employees upon exercise of outstanding stock options.  The average number of
shares during the first six months of 1997 and 1996 were 883,438 and 861,784.
The average number of shares outstanding during the quarters ending June 30,
1997 and June 30, 1996 were 888,733  and 864,719 respectively.

   ITEM 2:     MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Average assets for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 increased to $163,635,000
from the $161,220,000 at the quarter ending December 31, 1996.  The Bank
continues to benefit from strong loan demand and a healthy loan portfolio.
Identifying appropriate funding sources continues to be a primary challenge
facing management.

Total loans averaged $123,348,000 during the quarter ending June 30, 1997.
This is a $4,045,000 or 3.4% increase over the quarter ending December 31, 1996
balance of $119,303,000.  Business loans contributed  $2,739,000 of the growth.
Loans to consumers contributed an additional $956,000 of the growth while
mortgage loan balances remained flat.  We anticipate continued healthy demand
for business related loans over the next several quarters.  During the first
quarter of 1997, management reduced the emphasis on the indirect automobile
market.  Management accomplished this by reducing the reserve paid to dealers.
This change has adversely affect the growth rate in consumer loans.

Total investment securities averaged $26,221,000 during the quarter ending June
30, 1997.  This is   $2,352,000 less than the quarter ending December 31, 1996.
We anticipate increasing the balance in securities to accommodate requests for
repurchase agreements and for future short term liquidity needs.  During the
quarter ending June 30, 1997, management began classifying securities purchased
as available for sale.  Management will continue to classify the majority of
future security purchases as available for sale.

Average deposits for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 totaled $128,788,000. The
balances dropped slightly compared to the quarter ending December 31, 1996.
This drop is partially due to seasonal cash requirements of agricultural
deposit customers.  Generally, farmers are required to make payments to
supplies during the second quarter.  The drop in deposits also reflects
increased competition for deposits in our market place.

Average Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances outstanding remained unchanged
at $10,000,000 compared to average advances outstanding during the quarter
ending December 31, 1996.  As of  June 30, 1997, the Bank has the ability to
access an additional $5,000,000 in borrowings from the FHLB in




                                    page 7

Indianapolis. Depending on the interest rate environment, type of assets to be
funded, and availability of liquidity through other sources, the Bank may
increase FHLB borrowings in the future.

LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY
Loan growth continues to outpace deposit growth.   The loan to deposit ratio
based on ending balances increased to 99.60% at June 30, 1997 from 91.96% at
December 31, 1996.

Maturities of  investment securities have been used to partially fund loan
growth.  However, the Bank's portfolio of Treasuries and Agencies are needed to
pledge for repurchase agreements and other collateral requirements.  The Bank
is investigating other funding sources including additional FHLB advances.  As
previously discussed, the Bank has available an additional $5,000,000 in FHLB
advances to fund loan growth.

The Bank has previously elected to classify all securities as held to maturity.
Accordingly these securities are not available to fund short term liquidity
needs except as they mature.  During the remaining six months of 1997,
$4,462,000 of investments will mature.  Management anticipates classifying all
securities purchased to replace maturities as available-for-sale.

Federal funds sold averaged $5,275,000 during the quarter compared to
$4,510,000 during the fourth quarter of 1996.  The goal of the Bank is to
maintain Federal funds sold at least equal to 2% of total assets.  The
percentage of total Federal funds sold to total assets at  June 30, 1997 was
1.3%.

ASSET QUALITY AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSS
The allowance for loan losses was 1.55% of total loans at June 30, 1997
compared to 1.49% at December 31, 1996.  Total non-performing loans were
$162,000 or .13% of total loans.  Loan quality remains at very acceptable
levels compared to long term historical trends.

Net charge-offs totaled $90,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 1997. The Bank
elected to charge off $102,000 primarily related to indirect auto paper. As
previously mentioned, the Bank has significantly reduced it's participation in
the indirect paper market.  To maintain the allowance at 1.55% of total loans,
the Bank elected to increase the quarterly provision to $155,000.

In future periods, the management will establish a reserve balance commensurate
with the performance of the loan portfolio, general market conditions and other
relevant factors.  We anticipate that the provision needed to fund the reserve
will be significantly lower than the amount recorded in the second quarter.


CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total shareholder's equity at June 30, 1997 was $15,794,000. CNFC's capital
ratios continue to exceed regulatory guidelines for well capitalized by a wide
margin.  A summary of CNFC's capital ratios follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $50,000, a decrease of
$258,000 over the same period in 1996. Several non-recurring charges negatively
impacted quarterly results.  First, management elected to close two supermarket
branches.  These branches had not demonstrated the ability to achieve
acceptable

loan and deposit growth.  Closing these branches will allow management to
reduce overhead costs to more acceptable levels compared to industry standards.
The charge to close these branches totaled $547,000.  Second, management
elected to increase the quarterly provision for loan losses to $115,000.
Third, expenses related to the severance arrangements for several members of
management also negatively impacted earnings.


Without the effect of these one time charges, net income would have been
$522,000 for the three months ending June 30, 1997.  This represents a $214,000
or 69.5% increase compared to $308,000 for the three months ending June 30,
1996. Earnings for the six months ending June 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been
$940,000.  This would have represented a 37.2% or $255,000 increase over the
$685,000 earned in the six months ending June 30, 1996.

Return on average shareholders' equity for the three months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 were 1.24% and 8.25%.  For the six months ending June 30, 1997 and
1996, return on average shareholders' equity was 5.90% and 9.26% respectively.
Without the one time charges, return on average equity for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 would have been 12.91% and  11.84% respectively.

Return on average assets was also negatively impacted by the one time charges.
Return on average assets for the three months ending June 30, 1997 and 1996 was
 .12% and .81% respectively. For the six months ending June 30, 1997 and 1996,
return on average assets was .58% and .89%.  Without the effect of the one time
charges discussed above, return on average assets for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997 would have been 1.28% and 1.16%, respectively.

The change in net interest income is attributable to the following:

 Income                 ========    =========      ========     ========     =========      ========
</TABLE>

The increase in net interest income is primarily due to an increase in earning
assets and interest bearing liabilities.  Net interest margin for the three
months ending June 30, 1997 decreased slightly to 5.07% compared to 5.08% for
the three months ending June 30, 1996.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the three months ending June 30, 1997 was $237,000.
This represents a $60,000 or 33.9% increase over the same period in 1996.
Non-interest income for the six months ending June 30, 1997 was $421,000
compared to $355,000 for the same period in 1996.  This represents a $66,000 or
18.6% increase.

The major changes that contributed to this increase were:  an increase in NSF
charges introduced at end of the first quarter of 1997, introduction of new
service charge fees assessed against low balance, high volume corporate deposit
customers, improved pricing on mortgage loans sold on the secondary market, and
an ATM surcharge assessed against non-customers using Bank owned ATMs.
Offsetting these increases was a reduction in demand account service charges
related to the Bank's introduction of check imaging in the second quarter of
1996.  Check imaging was offered without charge to customers previously
assessed fees for not participating in check truncation.

Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the three months ending June 30, 1997 totaled
$1,925,000.  This represents a $455,000 increase over the same period in 1996.
Without the effect of the charge to close the two supermarket branches and the
effect of severance related expenses, non-interest expense would have been
$1,286,000.  This represents a $184,000 or 12.5% reduction compared to the same
period in 1996.

Salary and benefit expense for the three months ending June 30, 1997 totaled
$680,000 compared to $744,000.  This reduction of $64,000 occurred despite
expenses associated with severance packages.  For the six months ending June
30, 1997 and 1996 salary and benefit expense totaled $1,370,000 and $1,469,000.
This represents a $99,000 reduction in salary and benefit expense. Salary and
benefit expense were impacted primarily by three events: reduced supermarket
branch staffing in anticipation of the branch closings, costs associated with
severance packages, and a general reduction in staff levels in other
departments.  Management is emphasizing the control of overhead costs.  This is
reflected in our total full time equivalents.  Full time equivalents (FTE's) at
June 30, 1997 totaled 77 compared to 90 FTE's at June 30, 1996 and 95 FTE's at
December 31,1996.

Equipment expense continues to increase as the Bank maintains the investment in
computers, imaging technology and local area networks made during 1995 and
1996.  Equipment costs for the three months ending June 30, 1997 increased
$34,000 to $182,000 or 23.0%.  For the six months ending June 30, 1997 and
1996, equipment expense totaled  $351,000 and $278,000 respectively.  This
represents a $73,000 or 26.3% increase.

In general, all other overhead expenses were lower as management continues to   
emphasize overhead management.   CNFC's ratio of non-interest expense to average
assets for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 increased to  4.72% from 3.80% for
the quarter ending June 30, 1996.  The ratio of non-interest expense to average
assets for the six months ending June 30, 1997 also increased to  4.07% from
3.77%.  Without the effect of the adjustments, the ratio of non-interest expense
to average assets for the three and six months ending June 30, 1997 would have
been 3.15% and 3.28% respectively.
