Part I
Item 1.   Description of Business

Company
The Company, incorporated in 1981, is a multi-bank holding company
registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 with its
administrative located in Coos Bay, Oregon.  The Company was organized
through a reorganization completed in April, 1983 as a holding company for
its principal banking subsidiary, Security Bank, a state chartered, FDIC
insured commercial bank, founded in 1919 in Myrtle Point, Oregon.  The
Company conducts its business primarily through Security Bank, but has
recently embarked on a strategy to diversify through investment in banking
operations outside of Security Bank's primary market area through wholly-
and majority-owned subsidiaries.  As part of that strategy, the Company
recently completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in Lincoln
Security Bank, a newly-organized state-chartered commercial bank located in
Newport, Oregon.

As a result of the successful operations of Security Bank, the Company's
return on average equity has exceeded 13% for the past five years and
return on average assets was 1.18% in 1996 and 1.26% in 1995.  At December
31, 1996, total assets were $191.4 million, total loans were $92.2 million
and deposits were $148.6 million.

Security Bank
Security Bank, with its main office in Coos Bay, Oregon, conducts a general
commercial banking business at seven locations, principally throughout Coos
County, and to a lesser degree Curry County.  Security Financial Insurance
Agency, a subsidiary of Security Bank organized in 1987, acts as an
insurance agent selling annuities, whole life insurance, and health care
insurance.  The Insurance Agency operates from a single office in the head
office building of Security Bank.  Its services are available to customers
at all of Security Bank's branches.  Security Bank also operates a separate
mortgage loan business with offices in Coos Bay, Eugene, and an office in
Bend, Oregon, opened in 1996.

Lincoln Security Bank
Lincoln Security Bank is a newly-organized Oregon state-chartered bank, the
deposits of which are insured by the FDIC.  Lincoln Security was organized
by a group of business and professional individuals in the Lincoln County
area as a locally-owned commercial bank serving the needs of the city of
Newport and Lincoln County, Oregon.  Lincoln Security's principal office is
located at 1250 North Coast Highway in Newport, Oregon.  The bank commenced
operations on May 30, 1996, and currently operates in a temporary office
facility pending construction of its permanent office at the same location.
Lincoln Security engages in a general commercial banking business in
Lincoln County and offers commercial banking services to small and medium
size businesses, professionals and retail customers in the bank's market
area.


Competition
The geographic areas of Oregon served by the Banks are highly competitive
with respect to both deposits and loans.  The Banks compete principally
with commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions,
mortgage companies, and other financial institutions.  The major commercial
bank competitors are state-wide institutions which are among the largest
Oregon-headquartered commercial and savings banks.  Each of these
competitors is owned by multi-state, multi-billion dollar holding
companies.

<PAGE>
Supervision and Regulation

General
The Company and the Banks are extensively regulated under federal and state
law.  These laws and regulations are intended to protect depositors, not
shareholders.   To the extent that the following information describes
statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions.  Any change
in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the
business and prospects of the Company and the Banks.  The operations of the
Company and the Banks may be affected by legislative changes and by the
policies of various regulatory authorities.  The Company is unable to
predict the nature or the extent of the effects on its business and
earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic control or new federal
or state legislation may have in the future.

Federal Bank Holding Company Regulation
The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act ("BHCA"), and as such, it is subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System ("Federal Reserve").  The Company is required to file annual
reports with the Federal Reserve and to provide the Federal Reserve such
additional information as the Federal Reserve may require.

BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of
the Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership
or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company it,
after such acquisition, would own or control more than 5% of such shares
(unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii)
acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank
holding company; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank
holding company.  The Federal Reserve will not approve any acquisition,
merger or consolidation that would have a substantial anti-competitive
result, unless the anti-competitive effects of the proposed transaction are
clearly outweighed by a greater public interest in meeting the convenience
and needs of the community to be served.  The Federal Reserve also
considers capital adequacy and other financial and managerial factors in
reviewing acquisitions or mergers.

With certain exceptions, BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company from
acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding
company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than
those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for
its subsidiaries.  The principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve
certain non-bank activities which, by statute or by Federal Reserve
regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related to
the business of banking or of managing or controlling banks.  In making
this determination, the Federal Reserve considers whether the performance
of such activities by a bank holding company can be expected to produce
benefits to the public such as greater convenience, increased competition
or gains in efficiency in resources, which can be expected to outweigh the
risks of possible adverse effects such as decreased or unfair competition,
conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.  The Bank's insurance
subsidiary is a non-bank company engaged in activities deemed permissible
by the Federal Reserve.

Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to
the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in their
securities and on the use of their securities as collateral for loans to
any borrower.  These regulations and restrictions may limit the Company's
ability to obtain funds from the Banks for its cash needs, including funds
for payment of dividends, interest and operating expenses.  Further, under
the Federal Reserve Act and certain regulations of the Federal Reserve, a
bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in
certain types of arrangements in connection with any extension of credit,
lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.  For example, the Bank
may not generally require a customer to obtain other services from the Bank
or the Company, and may not require that the customer promise not to obtain
other services from a competitor, as a condition to an extension of credit
to the customer.



<PAGE>
Federal and State Bank Regulation
The Banks, as state-chartered banks with deposits insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") that are not members of the Federal
Reserve System, are subject to the supervision and regulation of the
Director of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services,
administrated through the Division of Finance and Corporate Securities
("Oregon Director"), and to the supervision and regulation of the FDIC.
These agencies may prohibit the Banks from engaging in what they believe
constitute unsafe or unsound banking practices.

As of July 1, 1989, Oregon permits out-of-state banking institutions to
acquire banks or holding companies that have been in existence for a period
of no fewer than three years.  Generally, such acquisitions are subject to
the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the Oregon Director.  As a
result of 1993 Oregon legislation and 1995 federal law changes, Oregon
banks may merge with out-of-state national or state banks, and out-of-state
national and state banks may acquire Oregon branches or may merger with or
acquire branches of Oregon or federal savings associations.  Initial
acquisitions must involve institutions which have been engaged in banking
in Oregon for at least three years, but once such an acquisition is made,
the resulting bank may add additional branches.

The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") requires that, in connection with
examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the
Federal Reserve or the FDIC evaluates the record of the financial
institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities,
including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe
and sound operation of those banks.  These factors are also considered in
evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or
facility.  Security Bank's current CRA rating is "Outstanding," the highest
rating awarded.  Lincoln Security has not yet been subjected to a CRA
examination.

The Banks are also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal
Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors,
principal shareholders or any related interest of such persons.  Extensions
of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral as, and following credit underwriting
procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with persons not covered above and who are not
employees, and (ii) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment
or present other unfavorable features.  The Banks are also subject to
certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons.  A
violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial
civil monetary penalties on the affected bank or any officer, director,
employee, agent or other person participating in the conduct of the affairs
of that bank, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and other
regulatory sanctions.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA"),
each Federal banking agency is required to prescribe, by regulation, non-
capital safety and soundness standards for institutions under its
authority.  These standards are to cover internal controls, information
systems  and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit
underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and
benefits, such other operational and managerial standards as the agency
determines to be appropriate, and standards for asset quality, earnings and
stock valuation.  An institution which fails to meet these standards must
develop a plan acceptable to the agency, specifying the steps that the
institution will take to meet the standards.  Failure to submit or
implement such a plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions.
The Company believes that the Banks meet all the standards, and therefore
does not believe that these regulatory standards materially affect the
Company's business operations.

Deposit Insurance
As FDIC member institutions, the deposits of the Banks are currently
insured to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor through the Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF"), administered by the FDIC.  The Banks are required to pay
semiannual deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC.
<PAGE>
The FDICIA includes provisions to reform the Federal deposit insurance
system, including the implementation of risk-based deposit insurance
premiums.  The FDICIA also permits the FDIC to make special assessments on
insured depository institutions in amounts determined by the FDIC to be
necessary to give it adequate assessment income to repay amounts borrowed
from the U.S. Treasury and other sources or for any other purpose the FDIC
deems necessary.  Pursuant to the FDICIA, the FDIC implemented a
transitional risk based insurance premium system on January 1, 1993.
Generally, under this system, banks are assessed insurance premiums
according to how much risk they are deemed to present to BIF.  Banks with
higher levels of capital and a low degree of supervisory concern are
assessed lower premiums than banks with lower levels of capital or
involving a higher degree of supervisory concern.  The Banks each have a
current FDIC premium rate of $.01296 per $100 of domestic deposits.  The
premium range is from $.01296 for the highest-rated institutions to $.28296
per $100 of domestic deposits.

Dividends
The principal source of the Company's cash revenues is dividends received
from Security Bank.  Lincoln Security Bank does not currently pay dividends
and is not expected to in the near future, as earnings will be retained to
fund future growth.  Under the Oregon Bank Act, the Banks are subject to
restrictions on its payment of cash dividends to the Company.  A bank may
not pay cash dividends if that payment would reduce the amount of its
capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital
requirements.  In addition, the amount of the dividend may not be greater
than its net undivided profits then on hand, after first deducting (i) all
losses; (ii) all bad debts, unless the debts are well-secured, (a) on which
interest for a period of one year is past due and unpaid, and (b) upon
which final judgment has been obtained, but for more than one year the
judgment has been unsatisfied and interest has not been paid; (iii) all
assets or depreciation charged off as required by the Oregon Director; and
(iv) all accrued expenses, interest and taxes of the bank.  Lincoln
Security is not able to pay dividends as a result of the lack of retained
earnings.

In addition, the appropriate regulatory authorities are authorized to
prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends which would
constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice.  The Banks and the
Company are not currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on their
dividends other than those noted above.

Employees
As of December 31, 1996, the Company and its subsidiaries had a total of
142 employees, 128 of whom are full-time equivalent employees.  None of the
employees of the Company or the Banks are subject to a collective
bargaining agreement.  The Company and Banks considers their relationships
with their employees to be good.

Item  6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

The following summary financial data and the discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995.  The consolidated entity includes Security Bank Holding Company (the
"Company"), a bank holding company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Security
Bank, its majority owned subsidiary, Lincoln Security Bank, and Security
Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alland, Inc. and Security Financial
Insurance Agency.  Collectively within this document, the consolidated
entity is referred to as the Company.  The results of operations for the
Company in future periods may be affected by many factors, including the
results of operations of Lincoln Security Bank, which is not expected to
contribute significantly to the earnings of the Company during the next
twelve months, and economic and demographic changes in the Company's market
areas.


Results of Operations
The operating results of the Company depends primarily on its net interest
income.  The Company's net interest income is determined by its interest
rate spread, the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities, and the degree of mismatch in the maturity and
repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities.  Interest rate spread is the difference between the
yields earned on its interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its
interest-bearing liabilities.  The Company's net income is also affected by
the establishment of provisions for loan losses and the level of its other
income, including service charges on deposit accounts and sold real estate
loan fees, as well as its other expenses and income tax provisions.

The combined increases in interest income and non-interest income exceeded
increases in interest expense and non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income before the provision for loan
losses increased $.6 million or 7.55% for the year ended December 31, 1996
over the same period in 1995.  The increase resulted from a $1.8 million
increase in interest income offset by a $1.2 million increase in interest
expense.  The increase in interest income is due primarily to an increase
in average earning assets of $24.9 million or 18.23% for the year ended
December 31, 1996, over the same period in 1995.  Although loans and
investments continued to increase during the year of 1996, new deposits at
prevailing interest rates limited the increase in the net interest income.
Interest expense increased due to both volume and rate for the comparable
periods in 1996 over 1995.  Average interest-bearing liabilities increased
$20.1 million or 17.29% for the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to
the same period in 1995.  The weighted average yields earned were 8.48% and
8.75% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Average yields earned decreased 27 basis points or 3.09% for the year ended
December 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Average rates paid
were 4.09% and 3.79% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  This represents an increase of 30 basis points or 7.92% for
the year ended December 31, 1996, compared to 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The loan loss provision increased during the
year ended December 31, 1996 to $208,000 as compared to $160,000 for the
same period in 1995.  Net charge-offs during the years were $152,000 and
$114,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Management believes the loan loss provision maintains the reserve for loan
losses at an appropriate level.  The reserve for loan losses was $1,119,000
at December 31, 1996, as compared to $1,063,000 at December 31, 1995.  The
Company's ratio of reserve for loan losses to total loans was 1.21% at
December 31, 1996, compared to 1.32% at December 31, 1995.

Non-performing assets (defined as loans 90 days or more past due, and other
real estate owned) were $490,000 and $467,000 at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  The increase in non-performing assets is attributable
to a small number of non-performing loans secured by single family
residential real estate.  Management believes the loans are adequately
secured and that no significant losses will be incurred.  Management does
not believe that the increase represents a deterioration of the credit
quality of the loan portfolio or an indication of future credit problems.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased 49.89% for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The
Company had a nonrecurring sale of $683,000 of mortgage servicing rights in
1996, recognizing a gain of $380,000.  Service charges on deposit accounts
were $931,000 in 1996, compared to $853,000 in 1995, a 9.14% increase.
Mortgage loan originations were $62.6 million in the year ended December
31, 1996, up from $32.1 million for the same period in 1995.  Loans sold
were $63.1 million and $30.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, generating $1,033,000 and $611,000 of sold loan fee
income during each respective period, an increase of 69.1% from 1995 to
1996.  A strong refinance market supported mortgage origination activity.

Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased 18.31% for the year
ended December 31, 1996, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995,
resulting primarily from the addition of Lincoln Security Bank.  The
primary non-interest expenses are salaries and employee benefits, and
expenses relating to occupancy and equipment.

Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes increased
20.06% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same period
in 1995.  This was primarily the result of an over-accrual of taxes in
1994, leading to a lower tax provision in 1995.

Loan Losses and Recoveries
The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is based on the
Company's loan loss experience and such factors which, in management's
judgment, deserve recognition in estimating possible loan losses.
Management monitors the loan portfolio to ensure that the reserve for loan
losses is adequate to cover outstanding loans on non-accrual status and any
current loans deemed to be in serious doubt of repayment according to each
loan's repayment plan.  The following table summarizes the Company's
reserve for loan losses, and charge-off and recovery activity:

Lending and Credit Management
Although a risk of nonpayment exists with respect to all loans, certain
specific types of risks are associated with different types of loans.  Due
to the nature of the Company's customer base and the growth experienced in
Coos, Curry and Lincoln Counties, real estate is frequently a material
component of collateral for the Company's loans.  The expected source of
repayment of these loans is generally the operations of the borrower's
business or personal income, but real estate provides an additional measure
of security.  Risks associated with real estate loans include fluctuating
land values, local economic conditions, changes in tax policies, and a
concentration of loans within a limited geographic market area.
<PAGE>
The Company mitigates risk on construction loans by generally lending funds
to customers that have been pre-qualified for long term financing and who
are using contractors acceptable to the Company.  The commercial real
estate risk is further mitigated by making the majority of commercial real
estate loans on owner-occupied properties.

The Company manages the general risks inherent in the loan portfolio by
following loan policies and underwriting practices designed to result in
prudent lending activities.  For example, the Company limits commercial
loans to 70% of the value of the collateral, and residential mortgages,
which may be first or second liens, to 80% of the value of the collateral.


The following table presents information with respect to non-performing
assets:

Allocation of Reserve for Loan Losses

The Company does not normally allocate the reserve for loan losses to
specific loan categories with the exception of credit cards.  An allocation
by credit quality is made below for presentation purposes.  This allocation
process does not necessarily measure anticipated future credit losses;
rather, it seeks to measure the Company's assessment at a point in time of
perceived credit loss exposure and the impact of current and anticipated
economic conditions.

</TABLE>

As shown in the table above, total assets have continued to grow in 1996 as
compared to the prior year.  Assets have grown 20.71% at December 31, 1996,
compared to December 31, 1995.  The growth in 1996 is the result of
increased deposits which were invested in investment securities and loans.
The growth in both 1996 and 1995 was primarily the result of loan demand,
as the southern Oregon coast's growth and economic factors continue to be
favorable.  The ratio of gross loans and leases to deposits decreased to
63.97% at December 31, 1996, compared to 66.09% at December 31, 1995.

The growth in interest-earning assets has been predominantly in loans and
investment securities.  Net loans increased $10.9 million at December 31,
1996, over the same period in 1995. The lower, more stable interest rate
environment of the last two years and a stronger, more stable local economy
have been major contributors to the increased activity for the year ended
December 31, 1996. Investment securities increased $19.2 million as of
December 31, 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995, due to the
continued growth in deposit funds available for investment. Federal funds
sold, reflecting short term (over-night) investments, decreased to $0 at
December 31, 1996.  The level of federal funds sold fluctuates daily
relative to loan demand, deposit fluctuations and investment activity, and
provides a source of liquidity for the Company.

Deposit growth continued for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.
Total deposits increased $21.3 million at December 31, 1996, compared to
December 31, 1995. The growth in 1996 and 1995 has been predominantly in
interest-bearing deposits. The ratio of interest-bearing deposits to total
deposits increased slightly from 84.7% at December 31, 1995, to 85.9% at
December 31, 1996.

Security Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle.  This
membership allows Security Bank access to low cost, long-term funding
otherwise unavailable.  Security Bank has utilized this funding, and in
1996 borrowed $5.5 million to support loan and investment growth, leaving
the balance at $17.0 million as of December 31, 1996.

Liquidity

Liquidity enables the Company to meet the withdrawals of its depositors and
the borrowing needs of its loan customers.  The Company maintains its
liquidity position through maintenance of cash resources and a stable core
deposit base.  A further source of liquidity is the Company's ability to
borrow funds.  The Company maintains three unsecured lines of credit
totaling $10.5 million for the purchase of funds on an overnight basis.
Security Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank which provides
a secured line of credit in the amount of $25.2 million, and other funding
opportunities for liquidity and asset/liability matching. Over the past
three years these lines have been used periodically. As of December 31,
1996, there were no borrowings under the Company's unsecured lines of
credit and $17.0 million was borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Interest rates charged on the lines are determined by market factors.

The Company's liquidity has been stable and adequate over the past three
years.  Short-term deposits have continued to grow and excess investible
cash is loaned on a short term basis (federal funds sold). The Company's
primary source of funds is consumer deposits and commercial accounts.
These funds are not subject to significant movements as a result of
changing interest rates and other economic factors, and therefore enhance
the Company's long term liquidity.

Capital Resources

Beginning in 1990, federal regulators required the calculation of Risk-
based Capital.  This is an analysis that weights balance sheet and off-
balance sheet items for their inherent risk.  It requires minimum standards
for Risk-based Capital by Capital Tier.  Full implementation of this
analysis was required in 1992, requiring a minimum total Risk-based Capital
ratio of 8.00% and a minimum Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 4.00%. At December
31, 1996, the Company had a Risk-based Capital Ratio of 17.02% and Tier 1
Capital Ratio of 16.07%. This was compared to 13.12% and 12.13% for total
Risk-Based Capital and Tier 1 Capital, respectively, at December 31, 1995.
If the Company were fully leveraged (i.e. if the Company were at the
minimum Risk-Based Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios), further growth would
be restricted to the level attainable through generation and retention of
net income unless the Company were to seek additional capital from outside
sources.

Interest Sensitivity

Interest sensitivity relates to the effect of changing interest rates on
net interest income.  Interest-earning assets which have interest rates
tied to an index, such as prime rate, or which mature in relatively short
periods of time are considered interest-rate sensitive. Interest-bearing
liabilities with interest rates that can be re-priced in a discretionary
manner, or which mature in short periods of time, are also considered
interest-rate sensitive. The differences between the amounts of interest-
sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities, measured at various
time periods, are referred to as sensitivity gaps. As rates change, these
gaps will cause either a beneficial or adverse effect on net interest
income.  A negative gap represents a beneficial effect on net interest
income if rates were to fall and an adverse effect if rates were to rise.
Conversely, a positive gap would have a beneficial effect on net interest
income in a rising rate environment and a negative effect if rates fell.

At December 31, 1996, rate sensitive liabilities maturing or available for
repricing within a one year period of time approximated rate sensitive
assets.

Due to the uncertainty of changing interest rates, the Company's strategy
is to manage a majority of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
deposits to mature or reprice within one year and strive for as close to a
balanced gap as is feasible. Management considers a fluctuation between a
10.0% positive gap and a 10.0% negative gap within one year to be a
controlled gap position.  In the event interest rates rise, the Company's
strategy is to increase its asset sensitivity predominantly through
variable asset pricing.

Inflation

The primary impact of inflation on the Company's operations is increased
asset yields, deposit costs and operating overhead. Unlike most industrial
companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial
institution are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates generally
have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance
than the effects of general levels of inflation.  Although interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally have
resulted in increased interest rates.  The effects of inflation can magnify
the growth of assets, and if significant, would require that equity capital
increase at a faster rate than would otherwise be necessary.

Loan Portfolio

Interest earned on the loan portfolio is the primary source of income for
the Company.  Net loans represented 49% of total assets as of December 31,
1996.  Although the Company strives to serve the credit needs of its
service area, its primary focus is on real estate and commercial loans.
The Company makes substantially all of its loans to customers located
within the Company's service area.  The Company has no loans defined as
highly leveraged transactions by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company has
no significant agricultural loans.  Commercial real estate loans primarily
include owner-occupied commercial properties occupied by the proprietor of
the business conducted on the premises, and income-producing or farm
properties.  The primary risks of such loans include loss of income of the
owner or occupier of the property and the inability of the market to
sustain rent levels.  The Company's underwriting standards attempt to
mitigate these risks by requiring a minimum of three consecutive years of
sufficient income generation from the owner or occupier or rental incomes
of 1.2 times the combined debt service, insurance and taxes. In addition,
a 70% loan-to-value ratio limitation is expected to provide sufficient
protection against unforeseen circumstances.  Other commercial loans
include renewable operating lines of credit, short-term notes, and
equipment financing. These types of loans are principally at risk due to
insufficient business income. Accordingly, the Company does not lend to
start-up businesses or others lacking operating history, and requires
personal guarantees and secondary sources of repayment.  Residential real
estate loans include 1-4 family owner- or non-owner occupied residences,
multi-family units, construction and secondary market loans pending sale.
Generally, the risk associated with such loans is the loss of the
borrower's income.  The Company attempts to mitigate the risk by thorough
review of the borrower's credit and employment history, and limits the loan-
to-value ratio to 80% to provide protection in the event of foreclosure.
Installment loans consist of personal, automobile or home equity loans.
Security Bank also offers credit cards to its customers.  These unsecured
loans carry significantly higher interest rates than secured loans, which
allows Security Bank to maintain a higher loss reserve in conjunction with
maintaining strict credit guidelines when considering loan applications.

portfolio, at the dates indicated:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Security Bank Holding Company:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security
Bank Holding Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Security Bank Holding Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

SECURITY BANK HOLDING COMPANY & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Security Bank Holding Company (the Company), a bank holding company, its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Security Bank (Security Bank), its majority-owned
subsidiary, Lincoln Security Bank (Lincoln Security), and Security Banks
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Alland, Inc. and Security Financial Insurance
Agency.  Security Bank and Lincoln Security are referred to collectively
herein as the Banks. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b) Description of Business
Security Bank conducts a general banking business. Its activities include
the usual deposit functions of a commercial bank: commercial, real estate
and installment loans; equipment leasing; checking and savings accounts;
collection and escrow services and safe deposit facilities. Security Bank's
primary market area consists of cities and communities along the Southern
Oregon Coast.

Security Financial Insurance Agency is in the business of  selling
annuities, mutual funds, single premium whole life policies, and long-term
health care insurance.

Alland, Inc. holds title to certain assets of Security Bank.

Lincoln Security is a newly organized state chartered bank located in
Newport, Oregon in which the Company holds a majority interest. The Company
facilitated the organization of Lincoln Security by purchasing 68.44% of
all outstanding common shares of Lincoln Security common stock, with the
remainder of the outstanding common stock held by local investors. Lincoln
Security commenced operations in May of 1996, and engages in general
commercial banking business. Lincoln Security offers commercial banking
services to small and medium size businesses, professionals and retail
customers in the their market area.

The Banks are subject to the regulations of certain federal agencies and
undergo periodic examinations by these
regulatory authorities.

(c) Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance
sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.  Estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate  to  the
determination of the reserve for loan losses and the valuation of real
estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of
loans.  In connection with the determination of the reserve for loan losses
and real estate owned, management obtains independent appraisals for
significant properties.

The Banks are located in Coos, Curry and Lincoln Counties of Oregon.  A
large portion of the Banks assets are loans, which are collateralized by
real estate in this geographic area and, accordingly, the ultimate
collectibility of this portion of the Banks loan portfolio is susceptible
to changes in the local market conditions. However, the loan portfolio is
diversified and management believes there is no concentration of loans
exceeding 10% for any particular industry. It is management's opinion that
the reserve for losses on loans and real estate owned is adequate to absorb
known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. While management uses
available information to recognize losses on loans and real estate owned,
future additions to the reserve may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the
Banks' reserve for losses on loans and real estate owned.  Such agencies
may require the Banks to recognize additions to the reserve based on their
judgements about information available to them at the time of their
examinations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(d) Investment Securities
Investment securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities available
for sale and trading account securities are stated at market value. Gains
and losses on sales of securities, recognized on a specific identification
basis, and valuation adjustments of trading account securities are included
in noninterest income. Net unrealized gain or loss on securities available
for sale are included, net of tax, as a component of shareholders' equity.

In November 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Special
Report No.155-B, A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Special Report No.
155-B allowed for a one-time reclassification among investment categories.
In light of the Special Report, Security Bank reclassified all held to
maturity securities to available for sale.  Total amortized cost of
securities transferred and the related unrealized gains at the date of
transfer totaled $32,016,917 and $276,531 respectively.

(e) Income Recognition
Interest is accrued on a simple interest basis. The accrual of interest on
loans  is discontinued when, in management's judgement, the  future
collectibility of interest or principal is in serious doubt. Loans are
generally placed on non accrual status when they are 90 days past due.

Loan  origination and commitment fees, net of certain direct  loan
origination costs, are generally recognized over the life of the related
loan as an adjustment of the yield.

(f) Reserve for Loan Losses
The reserve for loan losses represents management's recognition of the
assumed risks of extending credit and its evaluation of the quality of the
loan portfolio. The reserve is maintained at a level considered adequate
to provide for potential loan losses based on management's assessment of
various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including a review of
problem  loans, business conditions, loss experience and an overall
evaluation of the quality of the portfolio. The reserve is increased by
provisions charged to operations and reduced by loans charged off, net of
recoveries. Regulatory examiners may require the Banks to recognize
additions to the allowances based upon their judgements about information
available to them at the time of their examination. Uncollectible interest
on loans is charged off or an allowance established by a charge to income
equal to all interest previously accrued and interest is subsequently
recognized only to the extent cash payments are received until delinquent
interest is paid in full and, in management's judgement, the borrowers
ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal,
in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

The Banks adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan as amended by SFAS No. 118
(collectively referred to as SFAS No. 114) on January 1, 1995. SFAS No. 114
requires entities to measure certain impaired loans based on the present
value of future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate,
or at the loans market value or the fair value of collateral if the loan is
secured. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information
and events, it is probable that the Banks will be unable to collect all
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement,
including scheduled interest payments. If the measurement of the impaired
loans is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is
recognized by creating or adjusting an existing allocation of the allowance
for loan losses. Prior periods have not been restated. All loans have been
evaluated for collectibility under the provisions of these statements.

(g) Direct Financing Leases
The aggregate lease payments to be received over the term of these leases
plus the estimated residual values are capitalized as Security Bank's net
investment in the leases. The excess of the investment in the leases over
the cost of the equipment (unearned income) is recognized as income over
the term of the lease.
<PAGE>
SECURITY BANK HOLDING COMPANY & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(h) Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are charged to expense over the
estimated useful lives of the assets (building- thirty-one and one half to
forty years; furniture and equipment-five to seven years) and are computed
using accelerated methods for assets acquired in 1991 and after and the
straight-line method for assets acquired prior to 1991.

(i) Other Real Estate
Other real estate, acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure, is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, not
to exceed estimated net realizable value. When the property is acquired,
any excess of the loan balance over the estimated net realizable value is
charged to the reserve for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs, if any, are
charged to the reserve for other real estate losses.

(j) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(k) Stock Option Plan
Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock option plan
in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the
date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock
exceeded the exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, (SFAS No. 123)
Accounting  for Stock-Based Compensation, which permits entities  to
recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-
based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows
entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and
provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures
for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the
fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.  The
Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No.
25. The pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 are not material to
the Companys Statement of Income.

(l) Capitalized Mortgage Loan Servicing Rights
The Banks adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122,
(SFAS No. 122) Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an amendment of
SFAS 65, on January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 122 requires that corporations that
acquire  mortgage servicing rights through either the  purchase  or
origination of mortgage loans and sells or securitizes those loans with
servicing rights retained should allocate the total cost of the mortgage
loans to the mortgage servicing rights and loans (without the mortgage
servicing rights) based on their relative fair values. The statement also
requires that corporations assess their capitalized mortgage servicing
rights for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Adoption of
this SFAS had no material impact on the Banks' financial position or
results of operations.

(m) Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year. For the year ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding did not
include 455,824 and 522,471 shares, respectively, held by  the Company's
ESOP, as these shares have not been allocated to participant accounts nor
have they been committed to be released. The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding were 2,408,278 and 2,239,670 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

(n) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(o) Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously recorded on the December 31, 1995 consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to classifications
on the December 31, 1996, consolidated financial statements.

(p) Stock Split
On September 20, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved a three-
for-two common stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend paid during
January 1996. The par value of the new shares issued totaled $4,603,445,
the majority of which was transferred from retained earnings after
transferring substantially all of surplus. Accordingly, all share and per
share data have been restated to reflect the stock split.



2.  CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

The Banks are required to maintain an average reserve balance with the
Federal Reserve Bank, or maintain such reserve balance in the form of cash.
The amount of this required reserve balance on December 31, 1996 and 1995
was approximately $1,046,000 and $1,020,000, respectively, and was met by
holding cash and maintaining an average reserve balance with the Federal
Reserve Bank.

10.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Savings Plan - Security Bank has a qualified profit sharing (401k)
plan covering all half-time or greater personnel with at least twelve
months of service. Actual contributions to the plan are determined by the
Board of Directors and are not to exceed the amount deductible for Federal
income tax purposes. Actual contributions amounted to 0% of voluntary
employee contributions in both 1996 and 1995.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) - The Company sponsors a leveraged
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that covers all employees who meet the
eligibility requirements. To be eligible, an employee must be age twenty-
one or older and have completed one year of service during which the
employee has at least 1,000 hours of service. The ESOP is noncontributory.
Employees are 20% vested after two years of service and vesting increases
at the rate of 20% each year thereafter such that employees are 100% vested
after six years of service. The Company makes annual contributions to the
ESOP at a minimum, sufficient to pay interest due on outstanding loans,
required principal repayments, operating expenses and administrative fees.
In certain years, the Company has also deposited additional funds to enable
the ESOP to repurchase shares from participants. All dividends received by
the ESOP are used to pay debt service. The ESOP shares initially were
pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are
released from the collateral based on the proportion of debt service paid
in the year and allocated to active employees.

The debt related to the ESOP is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as
collateral are reported as Unearned ESOP Shares on the consolidated balance
sheets. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company
reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the
shares, and the shares become outstanding for per share computations.
Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained
earnings. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as reduction of
debt and accrued interest.

The Company has ESOP related debt of $0 and $644,000 to Bank of America at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. In addition, during 1993, the
Company loaned the ESOP $1,583,205 to purchase 365,000 shares of its common
stock. The Company paid the note to Bank of America in 1996. However, the
ESOP still owes the Company for this debt. These loans are not reflected on
the Company's consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
The ESOP shares as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

Stock Option Plan - The Company maintains an Employee Stock Option Plan
(the Employee Plan), adopted in 1995, under which 276,000 shares of common
stock are reserved for issuance to key employees. The Employee Plan
provides for the grant of options to purchase shares to selected employees.
The purchase price of shares for which stock options are granted shall not
be less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of
the grant.  Options granted under the Employee Plan are exercisable in
installments and expire on such date as the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors may determine, but not later than 10 years from the date
of grant.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the years ended

11.  REGULATORY MATTERS

The  Company  is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly  additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities, and certain off-
balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
The Company's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings,
and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in
the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and Tier 1 Capital to
average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996,
that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Federal
Reserve Board categorized the Company as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as
well capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier
1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following
table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the institution's category.

of  December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the FDIC
categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action.

The Banks, as state-chartered banks, are prohibited from declaring or
paying any dividends in an amount greater than undivided profits.  At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, undivided profits of approximately $3,512,175
and $3,708,787, respectively, were available for the payment of dividends
to the Company with prior regulatory approval.

Rental expense for all operating leases was approximately $117,000 and
$94,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

At December 31, 1996, the Banks have $19,644,287 of unused lines of credit.

In the normal course of business, there are various commitments
outstanding, including commitments to extend credit and commercial letters

The  Company  is  a defendant in legal proceedings arising  in  the  normal
course of business. In the opinion of management the disposition of pending
litigation  will  not  have  a material effect on  the  Companys  financial
position.


13.  PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1996 and

          Net deferred tax assets            $617,171     $406,789

Deferred tax liabilities:
  Investment securities, due to reserve
   for unrealized gains                       $65,810     $414,716
  Investment securities,

          Net deferred tax liability        $(98,685)   $(419,767)
</TABLE>

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 1995 was
$356,000.  The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were a decrease of $53,000 and $119,000,
respectively.  Of the net change in the valuation allowance for 1996,
$18,172 was credited to equity in 1996.

The Company has determined that the valuation allowance of $184,000 is
reasonable as it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset of
$617,171 will be principally realized through carryback to taxable income
in prior years, and future reversals of existing taxable temporary
differences, and to a minor extent, future taxable income.  Management
believes that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the
benefits of temporary differences that cannot be realized through carryback
to prior years or through the reversal of future temporary taxable
differences.

14.  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Some of the directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of the
Company, and the companies with which they are associated, are customers of
and have had banking transactions with the Banks in the ordinary course of
business, and the Banks expect to have such transactions in the future. All
loans and commitments to loan included in such transactions were made on
substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons
and, in the opinion of the management of the Banks, do not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present any other unfavorable
features.

An analysis of activity with respect to loans to directors, executive
officers and principal shareholders of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 is as follows:

</TABLE>

Financial assets and financial liabilities other than securities are not
traded in active markets.  The above estimates of fair value require
subjective judgements and are approximate.  Changes in the following
methodologies and assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
These estimates may also vary significantly from the amounts that could be
realized in actual transactions.

Financial Assets - The estimated fair value approximates the
  book value of cash equivalents and time deposits.  For investment
  securities, the fair value is based on quoted market prices.  The
  fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows
  using  current rates at which similar loans would be made.  The
  fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and Federal Home Loan
  Bank stock approximates their carrying amounts.

Financial Liabilities - The estimated fair value of deposits is
  estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current
  rates at which similar deposits would be made.  The estimated
  fair value approximates the carrying amounts of short term
  borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
  The estimated fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings is
  estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current
  rates at which similar borrowings would be made.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments - Fair value considers
  the difference between current levels of interest rates and
  committed rates.  See note 12 to the consolidated financial
  statements.

The Company did not hold any derivative financial instruments in its
investment portfolio at or during the year ended December 31, 1996, with
the exception of collaterized mortgage obligations.

Incentive Cash Bonus Plan.  The Board of Directors of the Bank believes
that an incentive bonus based on earnings motivates management to perform
at the highest levels.  Management performance has a direct impact on the
short-range and long-range profitability and viability of the institution
and an incentive bonus promotes the retention of qualified management.
Directors also believe that compensation programs with incentive pay as a
significant portion of compensation allow base salaries  to  remain
relatively constant, even during highly profitable periods,  thereby
containing salary costs during any less profitable periods.  The management
incentive bonus program is at the discretion of the Board.  Specific
performance levels and awards are developed by the Compensation Committee
of the Board and approved annually by the Board of Directors.  For 1996,
the plan provided incentives for the four executive officers, Brummel,
Delvin, Williams and Poole.  The size of the total incentive is determined
by a formula based upon the earnings of the Company with a threshold level
of return on equity of 9%.  The four officers (Brummel, Delvin, Williams
and Poole) received 51%, 29%, 15% and 5% of this total respectively during
the course of the year.

Phantom Stock Deferred Compensation Plan.  As of January 1, 1996, the
Company established a deferred compensation plan for a select group of key
employees to provide for unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation to
assist in attracting and retaining such key employees and to encourage such
employees to devote their best efforts to the business of the bank.  An
eligible employee is permitted to defer up to 20% of that employee's base
salary and 100% of any cash bonus, and is required to defer not less than
2% of base salary and 20% of any cash bonus.  Deferred compensation is
credited to the participant's account in the form of Phantom Stock Units,
the number of units being determined by dividing the amount of the
compensation deferred by the base price established annually by the Board
of Directors for that Plan Year's deferrals.  The base price of each unit
is the average of the bid and ask prices of the Company's common stock for
the last ten trading days of the preceding calendar year.  Distributions to
a participating employee are made in cash only and are made within 60 days
after the earlier of the employee's death, disability, termination of
employment, change of control of the Company or the attainment of the age
specified in the Plan agreement between the employee and Security Bank.
Upon  distribution, the deferred compensation amount is  valued  by
multiplying the cumulative number of Phantom Stock Units by the average of
the bid and ask prices of Company common stock on the date of distribution.
Currently, Mr. Brummel is the only participant in the plan.

Severance Agreement.  In addition to Mr. Brummel's regular compensation,
the Bank has agreed to pay him additional compensation should his
employment with the Bank be terminated under certain conditions.  The
severance agreement is effective only if Mr. Brummel's employment is
involuntarily terminated in connection with the merger or sale of the Bank
and/or the Company, or if he elects to terminate his employment within one
year of a merger or sale. In the event of such a termination, the Bank has
agreed to pay Mr. Brummel a sum equal to twelve times his monthly base
salary in effect at the time of the merger or sale.  The base salary
includes monthly gross salary but does not include bonuses or other
compensation, plus any deferred or unpaid portion of his annual bonus.  
<PAGE>
If the severance agreement had been triggered as of December 31, 1996, Mr.
Brummel would have been entitled to a payment of $145,390.

Stock Option Plan.  The Company adopted a combined incentive and non-
qualified stock option plan (the "Plan") effective May 1, 1995, and
approved by the shareholders at the annual shareholders meeting on March
20, 1996.  Pursuant to the Plan, options may be granted at the discretion
of the Board of Directors or such committee as it may designate, to key
employees, including employees who are directors of the Company.

The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its
shareholders by enabling the Company to attract and retain the services of
people with training, experience and ability and to provide additional
incentive to key employees and directors of the Company by giving them an
opportunity to participate in the ownership of the Company.

The Plan reserves 276,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock for
possible grants to employees.  The purchase price of shares issuable upon
exercise of options is not less than 100% of the fair market value per
optioned share at the time of the grant. Each option granted under the
plan is exercisable for up to ten years following the date of grant.

As of December 31, 1996, options to purchase 96,600 shares, adjusted for
stock dividends and splits, have been granted pursuant to the Plan.  The
following table sets forth information regarding outstanding options
granted pursuant to the Plan, each of which became exercisable as to 20%
of the shares on May 1, 1996, and an additional 20% becoming exercisable
each year thereafter.

There were no options granted in 1996.  The following table sets forth
information regarding options outstanding as of March 1, 1997:

Item 12.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Some of the directors and officers of the Company and of the Bank, and
members of their immediate families and firms and corporations with which
they are associated, have had transactions with the Bank, including
borrowings and investments in time deposits.  All such loans and
investments have been made in the ordinary course of business, have been
made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates paid or
charged and collateral required, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons, and did not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features.  As of December 31, 1996, the aggregate outstanding amount of all
loans to officers and directors was approximately $1,889,000, which
represented  approximately  10.19%  of  the  Company's  consolidated
shareholders' equity at that date.

No director or principal officer of the Company has a direct family
relationship with another director or executive officer of the Company or
the Bank.
