               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
- ---------------------------------
LIQUIDITY
- ---------
Liquidity, the measure of the corporation's ability to  meet  the
normal  cash  flow  needs  of  depositors  and  borrowers  in  an
efficient manner, is generated primarily from the acquisition  of
deposit   funds  and  the  maturity  of  loans  and   securities.
Additional  liquidity  can  be  provided  by  the  sale  of  debt
investment  securities  available  for  sale  which  amounted  to
$53,267,450 on June 30, 1998.

During  the  first  six months of 1998, average  interest-bearing
liabilities increased $23,328,902 over the same period  in  1997.
Investments  maturing within one year were 3.35% of total  assets
on June 30, 1998 and 5.48% on June 30, 1997.

Average  loans  grew  by $22,253,683 and the  average  securities
portfolio including federal funds sold increased $5,614,397.


INTEREST SENSITIVITY
- --------------------
Interest  rate  management seeks to maintain  a  balance  between
consistent  income  growth  and  the  risk  that  is  created  by
variations   in   ability  to  reprice  deposit  and   investment
categories.   The  effort to determine the  effect  of  potential
interest  rate changes normally involves measuring the so  called
"gap"  between  assets  (loans and securities)  subject  to  rate
fluctuation  and liabilities (interest bearing deposits)  subject
to  rate  fluctuation as related to earning assets over different
time  periods  and  calculating the ratio of  interest  sensitive
assets to interest sensitive liabilities.

Repricing  periods  for the loans, securities,  interest  bearing
deposits,  non-interest bearing assets and  non-interest  bearing
liabilities   are   based   on  contractual   maturities,   where
applicable,  as  well as the corporation's historical  experience
regarding  the  impact  of  interest  rate  fluctuations  on  the
prepayment   and  withdrawal  patterns  of  certain  assets   and
liabilities.   Regular savings, NOW and other  similar  interest-
bearing   demand  deposit  accounts  are  subject  to   immediate
withdrawal and therefore are presented as beginning to reprice in
the earliest period presented in the "gap" table.

CREDIT QUALITY RISK
- -------------------
The following table presents a comparison of loan performance as of June 30,
1998 with that of June 30, 1997. Non-accrual loans are those for which
interest income is recorded only when received and past due loans  are
those  which are contractually past due 90 days or more in respect  to
interest  or  principal payments.  As of June 30, 1998 the corporation
had no other real estate owned and no in-substance foreclosures.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
Shareholders' equity for the first six months of 1998 averaged $39,279,736
which  represented an increase of $3,324,640 over the average  capital
of  $35,955,096  recorded in the same period of  1997.  These  capital
levels  represented a capital ratio of 12.46% in  1998  and  12.62  in
1997.  When the loan loss reserve is included, the 1998 capital  ratio
becomes 13.05%.

The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based capital adequacy guidelines are
designed  principally as a measure of credit risk.   These  guidelines
require  that:   (1)  at  least 50% of a banking organization's  total
capital  be  common and certain other "core" equity capital  ("Tier  I
Capital");  (2)  assets and off-balance sheet items must  be  weighted
according  to risk; and (3) the total capital to risk-weighted  assets
ratio be at least 8%; and (4) a minimum 4.00% leverage ratio of Tier I
capital to average total assets.  The minimum leverage ratio is to  be
4-5 percent for all but the most highly rated banks, as determined  by
a  regulatory  rating system.  As of June 30, 1998,  the  corporation,
under these guidelines, had a Tier I and total equity capital to  risk
adjusted  assets ratio of 21.35% and 22.33% respectively. The leverage
ratio was 12.70%.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

In 1997, Commercial National Financial Corporation began
an assessment of analyzing any Year 2000 issues that may
affect  the  day  to  day  business  operations  of  the
corporation  or  the bank. The Year 2000  issue  is  the
result  of  computer programs being  written  using  two
digits  rather than four to define the applicable  year.
Based   on   management's  assessment,  the  corporation
believes  the  costs  associated  with  addressing   the
problem  are  not  expected to have a  material  adverse
impact  on  the  corporation's financial  position.  The
corporation  has been and will continue  to  devote  the
necessary  time and resources to resolve the  Year  2000
issue in a timely manner.
