Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
and in management's opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of results for such interim periods.  Certain information and note
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted
pursuant to SEC regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full calendar year.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

Note 2.  Subsequent Event - Offering of Capital Securities by VBC Capital 1

On April 8, 1997 Vectra and its wholly-owned subsidiary, VBC Capital 1 (the
"Trust"), filed a registration statement with the SEC relating to a public
offering of $17.5 million of 9.5% Cumulative Capital Securities of the Trust.
The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 24, 1997,
and the offering was completed April 30, 1997.  Net proceeds were approximately
$16.5 million after payment of sales commissions and other offering costs, and
were invested in Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by Vectra to the Trust
in connection with the public offering.  Interest on the Junior Subordinated
Debentures will be paid by Vectra to the Trust, will be the sole revenues of
the Trust and the source for distributions by the Trust to the holders of the
Capital Securities.

For financial reporting purposes, the Trust will be treated as a subsidiary of
Vectra and, accordingly, the accounts of the Trust will be included in the
consolidated financial statements.  The Capital Securities will be presented as
a separate line item in the consolidated balance sheets under the caption
"Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities of Subsidiary
Trust Holding Solely Junior Subordinated Debentures."  For financial reporting
purposes, Vectra will record distributions payable on the Capital Securities as
interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Vectra intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Junior
Subordinated Debentures for the redemption of its outstanding $.95 Series A
Cumulative Preferred Stock (approximately $8.3 million) and for general
corporate purposes.  Vectra expects the Capital Securities to qualify as Tier 1
capital under the capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve subject to
regulatory limitations.

</TABLE>

Vectra maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level considered by
management to be adequate to cover the risk of loss in the loan portfolio at a
particular point in time.  Management's judgment as to whether an additional
amount should be added to the reserve in excess of the amount of loan losses
takes into consideration a number of factors, including loss experience in
relation to outstanding loans and existing level of the reserve for losses, a
continuing review of problem loans and overall portfolio quality, regular
examinations of loan portfolios conducted by Vectra's staff and by state and
federal supervisory authorities and economic conditions.

</TABLE>

The $638,000 increase in nonperforming loans from December 31, 1996 to March
31, 1997 is primarily a result of the addition of two nonperforming loans for
$479,000 and $470,00 offset by one loan for $283,000 which was transferred to
accruing status.  Management does not consider the increase to represent a
negative trend in asset quality.

         LIABILITIES.   Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased
$14.3 million to $74 million at March 31, 1997 from $59.7 million at December
31, 1996.  Customer sweep accounts increased $3.5 million to $14.2 million at
March 31, 1997 from $10.7 million at December 31, 1996.

         SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY.    Shareholders' equity increased $937,000 to
$46.4 million at March 31, 1997 from $45.4 million at December 31, 1996.  This
increase was a result of the $1.3 million earnings available to common
shareholders offset by a $358,000 increase in unrealized loss on securities
available for sale.

</TABLE>

         NET INTEREST INCOME.     For most financial institutions, the primary
component of earnings is net interest income.  Net interest income is the
difference between interest income, principally from loans and investment
securities, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and
borrowings.  Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, net
interest spread and net interest margin.  Volume refers to the average dollar
levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  Net
interest spread refers to the difference between the average yield on
interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by average
interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The following table sets forth information for the periods indicated with
regard to average balances of assets and liabilities, as well as the total
dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and interest
expense on interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields or costs, net
interest income, net interest spread, net interest margin and the ratio of
average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for
Vectra.  These schedules have been adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis
for 1997.  There were no adjustments for 1996 related to tax- exempt interest,
as such interest was not significant.  Net interest income for the three months
ended March 31, 1997, was 46.7% higher than for the same quarter in 1996
primarily because of the addition of the Southwest State Bank (SWSB) assets
acquired in an acquisition accounted for using purchase accounting which closed
on June 18, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

         INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased $3.1 million to $11
million in the first quarter of 1997 from $9.9 million in the same quarter of
1996.  The primary factor contributing to this increase was the $120.4 million
increase in average loans to $324.6 million in the first quarter of 1997 from
$204.2 million in the same quarter of 1996.  SWSB contributed approximately
$73.4 million to the increase in average loan balances.  Lower average interest
rates earned on loans in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 1996 partially
offset the increase from the higher average balances.  A $9.1 million increase
in average investments coupled with an increase in the average yield on
investments resulted in a $326,000 increase in interest earned on investments.
Management continues to focus on loan growth and has allowed investments to
decline as a percent of total assets. Most of the Company's investments are in
floating rate securities tied to a variety of indices.

         INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased $1 million to $4.4
million in the first quarter of 1997 from $3.4 million in the same period of
1996.  This increase was primarily a result of increases in average balances of
interest- bearing deposit and customer sweep accounts.  Average balances in
these accounts increased $94.7 million from the same period a year ago causing
interest expense on these accounts to increase $931,000 from the first quarter
in 1996.  This was partially offset by $112,000 caused by a four basis point
decline in interest rates paid on these accounts compared to the same period a
year ago.  SWSB contributed $72.8 million in average interest-bearing deposits.
Averages borrowings from the FHLB increased $3.4 million to $69.9 million in
the quarter from $66.5 million in the same quarter of 1996.  Offsetting the
increase in interest expense resulting from increases in average balances was
the average cost of these borrowings which declined 10 basis points to 5.46% in
the first quarter of 1997 from 5.56% in the same quarter of 1996.  Expansion of
the depositor base provides customer cross selling opportunities.

         NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income increased $2.1 million in
the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  The increase
resulted from the $129.5 million increase in average interest-bearing assets
combined with an increase in net interest margin to 5.21% in 1997 from 4.72% in
1996.  The principal reasons for the increase in net interest margin relates to
changes in the mix of assets and liabilities.  Higher yielding loans have
increased and have been funded with lower costing deposits instead of higher
costing FHLB borrowings.  Average FHLB borrowings as a percent of average
assets declined to 12.5% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 16.1% in the
same period a year ago.   Net interest spread also increased 50 basis points to
4.29% in the first quarter of 1997 from 3.79% in the same period in 1996.

         OTHER INCOME.  Other income was essentially unchanged at $1.1 million
in the first quarter of 1997 from the same period in 1996, principally as a
result of lower gains on the sale of mortgage loans and SBA loans of  $95,000
and $65,000 respectively and a $31,000 loss on sales of securities in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  This was partially offset
by a $189,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts driven by the
increased deposit base.

         OTHER EXPENSES.  Other expenses increased $745,000 to $4.8 million in
the first quarter of 1997 from $4.0 million in the same period of 1996.  The
increase in operating expenses is primarily due to the addition of SWSB.  With
the acquisition of SWSB, additional staff, facilities, equipment and additional
operating expenses due to a larger customer base were necessary.  The increase
primarily consisted of a $591,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits
largely from the addition of the SWSB employees and an $81,000 increase in
amortization of intangible assets related to the SWSB acquisition.
